The Inner Life
THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | AUGUST 1936
Except ye eat of My flesh and drink of My blood, ye have not life in you. But whose eateth of My flesh, and drinketh of My blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
For My flesh is meat indeed—is the Truth that maketh thee free and One with Me; and My blood is drink indeed—is My Love that lifteth thee into My Consciousness.
