The Inner Life
THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | JANUARY 1936
the Loving One becomes indeed a Mighty Power—aye, the greatest power in the world. Likewise when the mind has been Christed by Divine Love, then we have on earth in the flesh One who is doing the work of the Father, even as Jesus did it when He was here.
WHAT we have been trying to show is that the time is growing very short to get your mental house thoroughly in order for the “Great Day” above pictured. Those who have been going through severe trials and are finding it increasingly hard to hold their faith in God, and especially in Jesus Christ—all kinds of doubts as to His true nature being put in their minds; those who find themselves powerfully attracted by other teachers or teachings whose basic truths seem similar to Jesus’, but are surrounded with phenomena, marvelous happenings, a Master perhaps exhibiting great knowledge and psychic powers, and which subtly inspire in them a strong desire to follow because of the promise and possibility of attaining similar powers,—those are the ones who are being tested to see if they are true followers of Jesus Christ!
Think you, you can be true to Him when thus listening to outer teachers and yielding to the sophistries of self, forgetting former teachings about the Loving Christ within and failing to hear His quiet Voice reminding you of them?
Dear friend, are you in the midst of much inharmony, doubt, uncertainty, trouble, and think you are fully loving and trusting God? If so you are deceiving yourself. For what is manifesting is but the result of fallacies and error self has caused you to believe and which beliefs are the cause of all your troubles. So long as self has any hold over your mind, inharmony will always be in evidence in your life. It cannot be otherwise—it is according to the Law. “As a man thinketh, so is he.”
On the other hand, if you find one who is truly at peace in his mind, whose life is happy, serene, loving and filled with the good things of this world, you may be sure it is because a real love and trust in God rules his every thought, word and act.
Such a one may not go to church, may not know any meta-physical or occult teaching, but he is very definitely aware of a loving Something within that is unerringly pointing the way for him and on which he relies and waits every moment of the day.
