There can only be one God; there can only be one Spirit, and that must be the only Presence, and the only Power. Call it by any name you will; worship in whatever form you will; fast if you like or feast if you like – as long as you are doing it from an inner feeling of sacredness. Continue reading Starting the Contemplative Life (5/5)
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)
We do not substitute a good human quality for a bad one; but in the realization of the I that I am, we learn to let the erroneous human traits drop away. Do not make an effort to get rid of them; but let your effort be to live in the I that I am. That will take care of everything. Continue reading The I that I Am
Every relationship in life is based on the belief that there are two or more of us – two or more of us in the home, two or more of us in the business. All spiritual truth, on the other hand, is based on the fact that there is only oneI, one Consciousness, one Soul, one Spirit, and I am that I am. All that the Father has is mine – all that is true of Iis true of the son. Continue reading God Is The Only Being
I am the same age I was yesterday; I am the same life, the same mind, the same Spirit, the same body. All that the Father has is mine – all that the Father has of agelessness, changelessness; all that the Father has of intelligence, wisdom, guidance, and direction – all is mine. Continue reading Agelessness
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)
Spiritual healing is accomplished through either the natural or the developed spiritual consciousness of an individual. And, spiritual consciousness is your or my individual consciousness when we no longer turn to a God for healing; when we no longer believe that there is a God withholding healing and by virtue of turning to someone or something, God is going to do for us what God wasn’t doing yesterday. It is only in proportion as you know that there are not two powers in the world, that there is not a power of evil that requires a power of God that you develop spiritual consciousness. Continue reading Advanced Instruction In Healing (1/5)
The beliefs we entertain about the body constitute our sense of body. The truth about body is something entirely different from our concepts of it. The body itself is perfect. It is as immortal and eternal as Soul, God, which is the substance and Principle of the body. Continue reading The True Sense Of The Universe
What does omnipresence mean? Does it not imply the omnipresence of God, the omnipresence of spirit, the omnipresence of allness, the omnipresence of life, truth, love, and substance, and therefore, the omnipresence of supply? But we acknowledge omnipresence in one breath and deny it in the next. Continue reading The Omnipresence of Supply
Christ is the healing influence in our experience. Christ is the saving influence. Christ is the guiding, directing, maintaining, and sustaining influence in our experience—and all without our taking a thought Continue reading The Christ
