Attainment Of the Contemplative Life (4/5)

And so it is you will find that in your Oneness with God, as far as you can see, everything that you can bear witness to is yours by the Grace of God, and without taking it from someone else. But because of its spiritual nature, it is multiplied in the life of every individual who bears witness to this Truth. Continue reading Attainment Of the Contemplative Life (4/5)

The Healing Consiousness

At one time it was believed that the sun revolved around the earth. That was illusion, but was the illusion ever externalized? No, the illusion existed in universal belief or universal human thought. But let us suppose that in my ignorance I believe the sun goes around the earth, thereby making that belief mine. Or suppose I believe I am ill and I make that a part of me by accepting that belief. I have then taken it out of the universal and made it personal to me, and I will be ill unless I can find someone who will agree to disagree, who will refuse to accept the disease even though I can show it to him, someone who will stand back and say, “Now wait a minute. How can this be? If there is a God and God is infinite, then this cannot be.” You have to have the same vision that Christopher Columbus had in looking at a flat world, a vision that does not merely see through the mind but that has an intuitive sense which sees through the appearance.

Attain that Mind (2/4)

Whenever you turn to God for guidance, wisdom, healing, ask yourself first if you are not expecting your good of some new idea or concept of God, rather than God Itself. Inevitably this leads to the question, “If all I have thought of as Truth, or God, is but my ideas of God or concepts of Reality, what then is God?” And in that moment of Silence, while awaiting the answer, the first tiny glimpse of His Being is revealed to you within yourself. Remember that it is only as you come to where you have no more concepts of God, no more thoughts or ideas of God, that God Itself reveals Itself. Continue reading Attain that Mind (2/4)

Starting The Contemplative Life (3/5)

Always must be the remembrance, then, that what God is doing, God is doing – and needs not your help, and cannot be controlled by you. God’s grace can’t be stopped. Even if you think that you are in disobedience to His laws, God’s grace is still flowing. You may not get the benefit of it because you have cut yourself off from it. Continue reading Starting The Contemplative Life (3/5)

The Mystical Realm Translated

There cannot be opposites. God is infinite. Now take all your sins and all your diseases, and all your lacks and all your limitations, and all your bad appetites, and throw them in the waste basket. Stop fearing them and let them disappear of their own accord. And they will. They’ll fade out of your consciousness because they have no sustaining powers of their own. It’s your own mind that’s sustaining them. Continue reading The Mystical Realm Translated

Upholding Your Loved Ones Spiritually

In God’s presence is fullness of life, and every individual in this household, being always in the presence of God is always in the presence of the fullness of life. The place whereon he stands is holy ground. He and his heavenly Father are one and inseparable, indivisible, and he cannot stray from God’s presence whether at work or at home. God walks with him and as him; God talks with him and as him. Continue reading Upholding Your Loved Ones Spiritually

God Seeks Us (3/5)

  God is not like anything we think He is. In cleansing the temple, the first things we must discard are our old concepts of God. Let us accept God as God, without any preconceived idea or outline of what we shall find when we do become acquainted with Him. It will be an entirely different experience than any we have ever thought or visualized or believed. Continue reading God Seeks Us (3/5)
