Protection (1/7)

Ponder this idea and meditate upon it, and note how the revelation and assurance comes to you, within your own being that this is true: there is but One, and because of the nature of that One there is no outside influence for either good or evil. There is no presence or power to which to pray for any good that does not already exist as Omnipresence, right where you are Continue reading Protection (1/7)

The Religion Of Mysticism (3/4)

If you are called upon for a healing and you know only one statement of truth, pour it, voice it, think it, and it will be followed by another. If you have only one dollar, break it, spend it, dime by dime, quarter by quarter: know that as each coin follows the other, so will one dollar follow upon another. God is your only capacity, and God fulfills Itself moment by moment. Even God cannot live the next hour—just this moment. Even the sun cannot shine tomorrow—this is the moment of its shining. Out of the infinite nature of God flows this universe, minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, on into eternity. Continue reading The Religion Of Mysticism (3/4)

The Religion Of Mysticism (1/4)

  Only as love becomes embodied within our consciousness, and only as we learn not to condemn, judge or criticize others, to hold no one in bondage to his errors of omission or commission, can we realize the power of love. Only as we learn to pray that the eyes even of our enemies be opened to the Christ, praying that God be the light, wisdom and understanding governing all men, friend or foe, regardless of race, color or creed, are we lifted into a consciousness that frees, not only ourselves but all those who come within range of our thought. We free others from their errors even as we are freed from our own. Continue reading The Religion Of Mysticism (1/4)

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)

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

The Fabric of Being (2/5)

Remember that in your first year of piano lessons you’re not expected to give any concerts in this hall; and so in your first months of working with this principle of non-power, you’re not expected to overcome all of the problems of your life or those of your family or friends; you’re expected only to begin, to make a start because it is not your intellectual agreement with this principle that does the work, but the attaining of the actual consciousness of this truth; and that comes with practice.
