The Inner Life

THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | JULY 1936

“Soul-force” versus “Spirit-force” is the battle-ground of to-day. The Body of Christ is by the energy of the Holy Spirit within each soul, advancing heavenward. The atmosphere of the world is thickening with Psychic currents behind which are massed the aerial foes. The only safety for the child of God is an experimental knowledge of the life in union with Christ wherein he dwells with Christ in God, above the poisonous air in which the Prince of the power of the air carries on his work.

The Blood of Christ for cleansing. The Cross of Christ for identification in death. The Power of the Risen Ascended Lord by the Holy Ghost, continually declared, laid hold of and wielded, will alone bring the members of the Body through in victory to join the Ascended Head.

THE ABOVE article is the second of three by Jessie Penn Lewis, published in England, the first of which under the title of “The Redemption of Man,” appeared in the June INNER LIFE, and the last will appear in the August issue.

In publishing these plain statements of the activities of those who are using “soul force” ignorantly, for the benefit of self, or purposely, knowing that it is wrong or evil, we feel that we are rendering a much needed service to our readers. For we can never make too clear the exact difference between right and wrong so that all may know and thereby can avoid the misuse of the law which always brings inharmony, trouble, sickness and failure into our lives.

The only way one will ever know the right way is by first learning from experience or from teaching what is not the right way. One who truly wishes to learn seeks to avoid the mistakes of experience by first learning the law and how to apply it.

In The Way Out, the law is plainly taught and illustrated in many ways. That law is the law of right thinking or creating. Being a law, it can be used to create good and perfect things, or bad, inharmonious and unhappy things. The way to think rightly or to create only the things God would have you create is clearly shown, and likewise the way to keep negative and untrue things out of the mind.
