INHERIT THE EARTH
By Ethel Adams Ratliff
ALL THE forces of the universe are brought to a focal point in You—in the very heart of your SELF. Here in the very center of your Being, is potential Power to move mountains—to create or to destroy. Every thought of helplessness, weakness, vacillation is but the shadow cast by ignorance of your true capacity.
Always the I AM is the LORD, your GOD. The I AM is the LORD of your universe. The LORD who gives and the LORD who takes away; the LORD who does good and who creates (apparent) evil. “All Power is Mine,” says this Lord, which is your SELF.
Though you may search until you are footsore and weary, heartsore and in despair, you will never find that which you seek out there. Books, classes, teachers, masters, all will have their part in rounding out your experience and in bringing you ever nearer to that blessed moment when you will turn at last from the without, to the Within and there find peace and rest.
That which you have sought in the highways and byways you will find awaiting you within your own House when you turn from your wanderings and come Home. Here it has ever been, calmly and serenely waiting for the fullness of experience to turn your feet on the homeward path.
Your seeking and your wandering is for but a single purpose: to open your eyes sufficiently so that you may see and recognize your LORD within when at last you find Him. That you may see and rejoice in the seeing, that you are Yourself the LORD of Hosts. That you, Yourself, govern the host of thoughts, notions, opinions, and beliefs that make up the human personality you have builded.
You will find that you can say to this thought, “Go!” and he goeth; and to that one, “Come!” and he cometh. And in all the Universe there is none like unto Thee, for truly Thou art made in the Image and Likeness of God. There is no God-quality that you in your real SELF do not possess.
You have dominion over all the earth and nothing shall by any means harm you. So seek and faint not, for every step on the Path brings you ever nearer the goal of Self-discovery, of awakening to the truth of your divine Selfhood which IS, and WAS, and SHALL BE, time without end.
This is the fatted calf that will be killed for you when, after all your wanderings, you return to your Father’s Home—to that which is your only true Home—your own divine Consciousness Within.
Here, where all the Power of the Universe is centered, is where You belong, where You rule, and where all things are Yours. Peace, Wisdom, Power, Life—yea truly—All Things! Both Now and Forever! For Lo, the I AM, the LORD of yourself is with you always, even unto the end of all worldly pretense, of all would-be domination by the human personality you have believed to be yourself, but which proves to be merely a straw-man flapping vainly in the breeze of ignorance.
The I and the FATHER are ONE. Your true SELF and your FATHER are ONE even as the ray of light is one with the sun and embodies all of its qualities.
“All Power is Mine,” saith the Lord within,—the Lord which You are.
Come Home—and find your Self!
BE YOURSELF—AND INHERIT THE EARTH!
