-has since always been and will always be. One must get this truth firmly fixed in mind before one can go farther with us in what follows.+== THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | MAY 1934 ==

-Therefore, when one would go in consciousness to help another, one must KNOW that he can go to him instantly, and will there see his perfect self. The other’s soul or consciousness may at the time be “obsessed” by some idea, thought or concept—that is, influenced by some false or untrue thought or idea about himself. All that you need do then, you who know the truth about that other center of consciousness—is to touch him (touch his soul), thus connecting and uniting the forces of your center of consciousness with his, and thus driving out any obsessing influence. For anyone working from the physical has far greater power than any obsessing force in spirit—if he only knows it. 
  
-It is the simple knowing the truth of these things that will enable you to free anyone from an obsessing thought or influence—no matter what it is, and no matter whether you go to him in spirit or in the flesh. But you can see that your real power must be done in spirit—or in consciousness, whatever you say or do in the outer.+<WRAP justify> 
 +some theft, and then builds a vile prison and forces him into it by means of some lesser laws that he has made, and enforces the same by his greater mental or physical powers, is it conceivable that Divine Justice will let that neighbor escape punishment?
  
-If you think this over until you see clearly all of its inner meaning, and will then put it to the proof when occasion calls upon you to help another, you will be amazed at the results, which will be even as that illustrated in the experience described above.+If Divine Law says, “the earth is the Lord’s,” and that it is the birthright of man, and a few men divide it up among themselves and make the great majority till it for their benefit, will it be possible to thwart Divine Law by means of the petty laws made by man to retain possession of that earth?
  
-THERE IS NO MYSTERY+If Divine Law says a man shall do good and not evil, and if other men then take away his freedom of choice by laws which bind him to only one mode of procedure (whether they believe those laws will enforce the good or not), will not man deliberately break those laws to regain his freedom of action, whatever the after effect; and if man once realizes that these lesser laws were not really made for his safety, but only for his exploitation, will anything keep him from revolution in an effort to get back under the guidance of the Divine Laws which he feels were really made for his higher evolution?
  
-“GOD never meant religion to be a mystery. It is man who has made it so. His handiwork is plain enough for all to understand, and religion was not meant to be in any way different. What should be simple has been made obscure.+As worldly conditions now are, the threatened revolution of a few years ago, when the open cry for reform first started, is far more imminent now, and it is the supposed reforms that are bringing it about—and they are doing this because of ulterior motives, the unjust methods, and the unwise laws which would rapidly reduce men to automata if they were allowed to increase and be perpetuated.
  
-You have but to do your best—no man can do better than his best—and the future will gradually unfold before you and your duty be made clear.” +Get to the bottom of things. Do not be carried away by surface waters. Make the seeing of truth your object, instead of self-deception.
