God Seeks Us 1/6

That should be working for the joy of working. In other words, there should be just as much joy in one’s work, labor, or profession as there is in my work. Certainly, you wouldn’t engage in this work for a living. You’d be very glad to do it if there wasn’t any living in it. Matter of fact if you were called to it, you’d find that you’d gladly sacrifice all the living in the world just for the joy of being in it. But so it should be with any art, any profession, any work that we are called to do it should be our joy to do it. Continue reading God Seeks Us 1/6

Fourth Dimensional Consciousness 3/5

The task of each one of us is to break through our material sense that says the mirage is real. Or break through our mental sense that says one mirage can cause something else, until we reach that spiritual realm, until we develop within ourselves the fourth-dimensional consciousness and then, your treatment does not have to take on the form of words or thoughts.

Attuning to Consciousness 4/4

Starting The Contemplative Life (1/5)

The reason it makes no difference what their religion may be is, of course, that there is only one God, there is only one Spirit. That Spirit doesn’t know the difference between a Jew or a Gentile; it doesn’t know the difference between a Protestant or a Catholic, an Oriental or an Occidental, or an American Indian. As far as the Spirit is concerned, it is entirely without any religious beliefs, convictions, ceremonies, rights, creeds, or forms of worship. It is an absolutely free and independent Spirit that permeates us just the same as the life of nature permeates a blade of grass, or it permeates an orchid, or a daisy, a violet, and it really doesn’t know the difference. And it makes no difference to it, whether it is a mongrel dog or a full-blooded dog – the same Life animates it; the same Spirit animates it. Continue reading Starting The Contemplative Life (1/5)
