The Inner Life

THIS problem of unemployment is a serious one and can only be solved rightly by true prayer. When it is recognized that the problem of unemployment is and always will be an individual problem, and that any action by the state or city or government can only be a temporary palliative, then we will see that the remedy must necessarily be through the work of the individual, and not through the mass. The government can no more legislate employment than it can legislate honesty. The government at best can only afford opportunity, and the doing of the work must rest with the individual.

One method of working against unemployment is to realize that: “In the Great Reality there is no unemployment, man has absolutely perfect work, for man is spiritual and divine, always passing on God’s ideas to his fellow man, giving him joy and happiness, and grouping together these ideas into perfect combinations which radiate out in an Infinite Mind, giving infinite beings joy and happiness.

“There is a perfect law of supply and demand; when man needs anyone, through Infinite Mind he is instantly in touch with the required person; when man desires to pass on an idea, he knows where to pass it; when man needs an idea, he knows where to get it in that Mind, for God is the Principle of all knowledge, and man knows everything he needs instantly.

“There is no hatred. God is Love and man reflects that Love and is absolutely loving towards all. There is no hostility. God is Love and man loves to help his fellow men. Man never harms his fellow man, for God is the Principle of all justice and man is absolutely just, always helping his fellow man.

“There is no other power than God. God is Love and Truth, and man is made in the image and likeness of God, absolutely loving and absolutely truthful. There are no enemies to be transformed. There is only omnipotent Love and the manifestation thereof which never changes. God is the Principle of all law and order and continually bestows an infinite variety of His own perfect ideas.”—F. L. Rawson.
