Even when you are entertaining a sense of separation from God, and we all do that at times, that does not mean that we are separated from God. Usually it means that we have emptied out, emptied ourselves of yesterday’s manna so that fresh manna can fall. This is a healthy state. Those who live on yesterday’s manna are headed for trouble. Continue reading The Nature of God and Prayer 2/4
Now, in order to understand the subject of flesh and body, you must understand the meanings of these seemingly contradictory terms, which are not contradictory at all. They are no more contradictory than when you read in the Infinite Way writings that God is the only Power, and then when you get me into a practitioner’s class, I whisper to you, “God isn’t power at all,” and nothing contradictory about that. When we are talking ordinarily, and the subject of power comes up, the question is, “what is power?” Continue reading Flesh and Flesh 2/4
But beyond this, there is that which has come to be called the real man, the spiritual man, or the Christ-man, or the perfected man. And, all of this of an infinite nature is found to be embodied as the consciousness of an individual. In other words, we are only limited to this mind and body, and its world, until we break through and there discover a presence and a power within ourselves. Continue reading Fourth Dimensional Consciousness 1/5
Do you see what a Sabbath this is? What a fasting this is from the world and the things of the world and the people of the world, and how it spiritually fills you and renews you and rejuvenates you. And then, you can come down from the mountain, come down to the valley, mingle with the people, and meet their needs. Continue reading Our Sabbatical Periods 4/5
To actually have a Sabbath, or a sabbatical day, and to be out of this world, out of its responsibilities, out of its cares—not in the sense of an escape remember; not in the sense of taking a steamer down the river for a day; not in the sense of going to a circus; not an escape, but for the purpose of having the entire period lived in the presence of God consciously—lived in the Spirit. Continue reading Our Sabbatical Periods 1/5
The inner experiences that we have, and the inner experiences that come to us, and the instruction that comes and the wisdom, the guidance, the direction comes only at those times when we are living in that consciousness of no condemnation, of impersonalization, and they can’t come to us at any other time. That is the full meaning of that statement that “When you go to the altar and pray, and there remember that anyone has ought against thee, first get up and make thy peace. Continue reading Self- Purification part 2 Intro
The place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
And what makes it so is that I am there. I in the midst of thee am where thou art. I in the midst of thee is where thy friends art. I in the midst of thee am where thine enemies art. There is no place, no time, no space, no person where I am not. Be not afraid, it is I. Continue reading “I” Speaks Onto Me (2/4)
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)
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)
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
