Often teachers and those far advanced in an intellectual knowledge of Truth come to us and ask, “What is the matter, that I am not able to demonstrate prosperity, when I have helped many to attain it (or it may be to demonstrate health or harmony); but now when I am up against it, I cannot help myself?”

Invariably we have found with such that it is two things they lack—an unfaltering faith and trust in God, and the ability to make themselves do what they know they should do. Of course, if they could and would make themselves perfectly love and trust God, their problems would be solved.

But they fool themselves into believing that they do love and trust Him, when their trust is but during the meditation hour, when they reason it out with their minds; but when it comes time to pay the rent, or to buy something badly needed, and only a few dollars are in sight, their fear overwhelms them, and it takes the rest of the day, or maybe week, to get the mind quiet enough to reason it all out again.

In other words, they have not yet found God, so that they know He is a real and loving Father; He is as yet but an intellectual concept, and is not All in all to them. Therefore they have not been able to discipline and compel their minds always to believe in and to turn to Him in their need, and thereby to receive the assuring answer and the peace that follows. Instead, their minds wander and weaken everytime a negative thought appears, and so they are in no condition to call upon and receive from the loving God within them the strength to throw off such thoughts.

To all such we say, “Not until you make the finding and knowing of God within you first in your thoughts—not second to money, supply or any other thing, as at present with you—can the very things you seek be yours. He must be truly first and supreme in your life, and only when you learn to love Him with all your mind, heart and soul—learn to know what selfless love is—a love that wants only to lose itself in Him, that cares for nothing but to have Him accept and use you as He wills,—will you open the door into His Consciousness and draw from it the good He has long been waiting to deliver to you.”

That is the Key to the Kingdom of His Consciousness and His Love, and anyone who can find and use that Key will ever afterward be able to go in and out at will.
