The Deep Pool Of Your Being (3/6)

But you can be assured that since God is your individual consciousness, with faithfulness, persistence and perseverance, you can reach the kingdom of God that is within you, and in this contact it flows forth into your experience and takes over your entire life-experience—Mind, Spirit, Soul, body, business, home—undertakings of any nature.

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)

Attainment of the Contemplative Life (3/5)

Once you personalize God, you separate yourself from God’s Grace. The moment you impersonalize by realizing the universal nature of God, and the equality of God’s Grace and bestowal, then you place yourself in the position of praying for your enemies.

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 Silence (3/5)

    It is in these periods of silence that the spiritual seed takes root in the prepared or fertile consciousness. As we start every day with a period of silence, we will find that every Word of Truth received into our consciousness either by reading, hearing, or by unfoldment, will spring into spiritual fruitage. It is in this stillness and silence that all of the power of God takes place, and it is then that the real work of our lives is accomplished.
