The Inner Life

experience, bringing to it much struggle, suffering and failure, that the human self of itself is nothing, can have nothing, can do nothing, and that I am all that it is; that I give it all that it ever gets, and empower it to do all that it ever does.

So that now My mind is learning that it as a separate consciousness is not, and that I alone am; that I as a Son of God know all things and have all power; that whatever the Father has, the Son has; and likewise what the Son has, his human reflection must have; that it therefore has it always, has all good things ever available—when it comes back into My consciousness and sees there with My eyes.

From this it glimpses that it is but an instrument I am preparing, purifying and perfecting through these experiences, apparently getting it ready for some use I intend to make of it later.

My mind is thus realizing that with My being a Son of God and thereby having all things, I naturally have no desire and no need, except that of expressing My perfect life through My human self, and if it feels a desire or a need, it is but an indication that the thing desired is about to manifest. Otherwise it would not be felt.

This being so, the mind is gradually realizing that for it also there is no need, all good things being always present, and it is learning to let go of its personal ideas, desires and opinions, and to go about its business unconcerned, knowing that all needed things will be taken care of and provided by Me, as surely as the lungs will receive air in the next breath.

It is likewise learning to pay no attention to appearances and that what seem real and important to the outer senses are but thought-pictures formed in the mind which, if good, fall short of the goodness and perfection that are ever seen in Divine Mind; or if bad or undesirable, such do not exist—except in the mortal mind.

Therefore it is perceiving that in order to see the Truth, it has but to close its mortal eyes and mind and to look with the eyes of Spirit—My eyes, when all the riches and glories of the Kingdom shine forth and are clearly visible.
