Do you not see that the world is seeking peace (just as it is seeking safety and security) outside of its own being? Whereas, no peace, no safety and no security will ever be found except in our individual realization of God as One—the Only Being, Presence and Power. Continue reading Protection (2/7)
In practicing the presence of God, we turn over the days and the nights to God. Eventually we turn over our household, our finances, our business, and the driving of our automobiles to God, even the driving of other drivers. Yes, we even place them under God’s grace. Gradually by this practice of the Presence, it becomes a simple matter to meditate because now, as we sit down, we automatically find ourselves in the midst of an inner quiet and an inner rhythm.

Prayer is a contemplation of is. God is ! Life is ! Love is ! Joy is ! Prayer is an outflowing of gratitude that God has given us the heavens and the earth for our glory. Prayer is a heart full of gratitude for the still greater blessings in prayer yet to be revealed. “Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore.” Continue reading Meditation
Therefore, when we receive an assurance of God’s Presence, we may receive nothing further than that, and yet we may be expected to pack up and take a trip around the world without knowing how or why or wherewithal. Or we may be given the something or other that causes us to move to another city, or to give up our position—and strangely enough God doesn’t tell us why or where we’re going to. And, we act on it!

Therefore, pray for your enemies. Pray for those who despitefully use you. Pray for your enemies by realizing: There too goes the son of God, the seed planted in the midst of them.

In this very moment, relax, so that the word “Peace” can reach and touch you. Let “My Spirit” guide and enrich you. Let “My Spirit” be a Presence going before you to make the crooked places straight. Learn to rest, and rely on this assurance of “My Presence.” Let the peace that passeth understanding descend upon you and envelop you. Let it be the love unto your life; let it be the Presence and the Power unto your life. Continue reading The Religion Of Mysticism (4/4)
There is not far-off God singling you out for special favors, but there is a God of whom one of our great poets wrote: “Speak to Him thou, for He hears, and Spirit with Spirit can meet. Closer is He than breathing, and nearer than hands and feet.” He is closer to you than breathing, and this God within you, this power, this divine love, this infinite wisdom is ready, as you permit it, to perform all you are given to do. Continue reading Attain That Mind (4/4)
God is Self-maintaining, Self-sustaining. God is the maintaining and sustaining Presence of thy self. You don’t have to go anywhere to find God. God is OMNIPRESENCE and OMNIPOTENCE. Continue reading Meditation: God Alone Is Being

It would be helpful to the world if all of us who read this chapter would participate in periods of meditation in which we do not concern ourselves with our own health or wealth or that of our family or nation, but in which our sole function is to realize the presence and power of the Christ.
