AND shall I now tell you about My Impersonal Life—how you may consciously live It with Me and be wholly One with Me, your True Self, your Father-in-Heaven?

Then listen! And meditate long and earnestly on all I now shall say. Do not pass by a single sentence or any one thought in it until My meaning becomes clear.

I seek nothing but to BE and EXPRESS My Self in and through you. My Self is purely Impersonal, for It is the Real of every human being. I AM the pure, perfect, selfless, inner nature of every human self, ensouled in their physical bodies in order to develop them into mediums for the expression of My Divine attributes on earth, even as it is in Heaven.

Therefore you, too, must seek nothing but to be and express your True Self, which is I, your Divine, Impersonal Self. Thereby do you unite your purpose with Mine, your will with My Will, your nature with My Nature; and thus become One with Me, and We become Two-in-One, the Divine estate on earth.

In order that this may be, we must purge first your heart, then your mind, and then your body, of every sense and inclination of the personal self. That can be accomplished only by My Holy Impersonal Love, with which I will fill your heart, so that there will be no room in it for any part of self. With the heart purified and sweetened, the mind will attract and think only pure and sweet thoughts—My thoughts, which are always pure Wisdom. Therefore you will see only Purity and Goodness in all things. Naturally, then, being no more controlled or influenced by wrong thoughts, your body will become subservient to My Life, whose vitalizing, purifying and perfecting power will drive from it all inharmonies. Then, with only My Love in your heart, My Thoughts in your mind, and My Life in your body, you will know I AM, your own true Self—for then there will be no other self.

Then I AM, your True Self, will go forth in the world, but not be of it. You will no longer be attracted to or by it. But you will see with My eyes, hear with My ears, and know with My understanding all things. You no longer will see only the outward appearance of things, but you will see them in their Reality. Nothing past, present or future will be hidden from you; for the limitations of the human nature are no longer there, and in My Nature, in the consciousness of My Impersonal Love, there is no time, space, personalities, or separation—All is One.

And you will go forth with the consciousness of this great Impersonal Love within you as the very substance of your nature, and through It I will uplift, strengthen, help and bless all whom I will lead you to or attract to you. Love being your nature, and on the earth plane in man being the pure and perfect expression of My Life, It is always pushing forth in and through him towards full, complete, harmonious outer manifestation.

And with the consciousness of your Divinity and of the Divine Power which My Love gives you, instead of parading such or giving evidence of such in any personal way, you will only give and help and bless Impersonally, seeking to remove all fetters, all hindrances, all limitations that prevent My Life in any way from expressing in and through your fellow beings.

Thus you become One with the One Life, with My Inner, Impersonal Life; therefore, One with Me, the Fount and Source of all blessings, earthly and Divine.

And therefore you will no longer seek to teach or lead others, because you have become Impersonal, and being Impersonal you will let Me, within both them and you, do all the teaching and directing. You will no longer seek to lead, but only to follow Me.

And you will no longer even seek to be wise, or good, or strong, or rich, or healthy, or happy, because you are all these things, being One with Me, Who AM the inner essence of which these things are but the outer manifestation.

And you will know that all inharmony presages the coming harmony; that all lack is but My urge towards complete expression; that all darkness is but shadow indicating the direction of the Light; that all weakness is part of the effects of training which will result in a perfected will; and that all evil is good and necessary—to one who has attained to My Impersonal consciousness and viewpoint.

And so you will go about your business, whatever it be, for then you will know that all business is My business. Instead of seeking and striving to gain for self the Spiritual blessings that lie at the mountain top, you will cease all seeking and striving, and will have forgotten self, and will feel only the urge to give, and give, and give of the Great Love within, letting It quicken and awaken and help and strengthen the struggling souls about you seeking to comprehend and obey the feeling of Me within their hearts, but who, owing to their immature and untrained minds, are misunderstanding that feeling and consequently My meaning, as I try to make it known from within.

And I will lead them to you or you to them, that I may teach them first from without through you. Just as I have brought to you My Message through these words, so will I give My Message to many hundreds of others through words I shall speak through you. But this can not be as I purpose it until I can live My Impersonal Life in you—until you have yielded up your human personality to My Divine Impersonality. Not until you determine with all the power of your will, and yearn with all the hunger of your Soul, to live the Impersonal Life—to make your personal self wait upon and serve Me, your own True, Impersonal Self—can I give you even a glimpse of My Real Meaning. But when I have vouchsafed you that glimpse, My beloved, ever afterward will the glory of it be with you, and it will lead you on and on, and ever on, until My full meaning is forced from Me by the might of your Soul’s Desire.

That is My Message. Its mission is to awaken in you this Desire—the Desire to live the Impersonal Life. This is high teaching, and is for those only who can see it—for those whom I have prepared and made ready for its reception. To such, however, it is but the door which opens to far higher teachings, that I will give to them direct from out their own Souls—those who come to Me in loving faith and trust, and who are willing to empty their hearts of self, that I may fill them with My Holy, Impersonal Love. For I here promise you—I have in store for those who yearn to come to Me by the simple, loving, Impersonal way, great wonders of Spiritual Blessings, which will be to them a source of endless Joy; and that I will give to them, as I abide in them and they abide in Me, the unlimited use of All of My Divine Powers and Attributes. —From //The Teacher.//
