God is Your Soul 3/5

The spiritual integrity that says, “all I want is to feel God, to realize God. All I want is to know God, to know Him aright is life eternal.”

Well, who wants to die? Who wants to be poor? Who wants to be out of line with the harmony of God? And there’s only one way to be in accord with the harmony of God. To know him aright is life eternal. Why? To know God, all things are added unto us. Continue reading God is Your Soul 3/5

Starting The Contemplative Life (2/5)

The Kingdom of God is a Spirit, not a super human being, but a Spirit! And this step constitutes the very first step in attaining spiritual Light. It is the very first step in attaining an awareness of the presence of God because if you cannot accept this, then you would have to say, “Well, only Jews can have the presence of God,” or “Only Baptists can have the presence of God,” or “Only Buddhists can have the presence of God.” But this is nonsense. The presence of God is within you . . . whoever the “you” may be. Continue reading Starting The Contemplative Life (2/5)

God Seeks Us (2/5)

Specific Principles (2/5)

And the second passage was, “My kingdom is not of this world,” and so I knew that you must never try to demonstrate money or a home or companionship.  You must never try to demonstrate holidays or vacations or automobiles or even transportation because the spiritual kingdom has nothing to do with this world. Yet, when you attain the spiritual kingdom, all of the things of this world are right there for your use.  They are the added things. Continue reading Specific Principles (2/5)

The “I” Within (4/4)

We always begin with what we have.  Never acknowledge that you don’t know enough truth; never acknowledge that you haven’t enough of truth or anything else. One statement of truth is enough to complete your entire life’s demonstration. Why?  If you make use of the one truth that you have, it will multiply itself.  This is the secret of supply in any direction, whether it is the supply of truth, or the supply of money, or the supply of homes, or transportation.  You start with what you have, and you make use of what you have.
