The Inner Life

they did, or said or thought separated them from Him, and eventually a call would come from the wanderer’s soul for help, and He would at once lead him upward to the top of the mountain and thence into the Kingdom.
Yes, I am sure I have found the Kingdom, although as to staying in it, I would say I—The Real I—abide therein; it is only my mind that has not yet learned to abide there. This mind is learning to “see single”—to see good only; but is so far from perfect at doing it that lack, limitation and inability to “be still” at will are as veritable precipices to be scaled. And yet I know that when I have taught it truly to “be still”—to “abide” in the Kingdom,” it will realize there is no reality to these seemingly impossible things.
When I next stood in the Kingdom I found it to be what I have written before—best summed up in thus: As I walked toward the place where Jesus stood, before I saw Him He spoke.

But I felt light, and looking into His dear face a realization of glorious freedom for all so filled me that, in answer to His command to “Ask,” I replied, “There is nothing to ask—for having You, I have all.”
Out was then that, in adoring love, I dropped at His feet. At once His hands lifted me up, and in such a perfectly natural manner that I was absorbed by Him, as it were—I stood in His Body—not two of us—but ONE! And my hands were extended in blessing to “each and to all who came seeking help, for I knew there was no sorrow, no pain, no bars they could not dissolve, no lack that could not be supplied.
The Kingdom is where there is no discord, disharmony, no lack, or limitation can exist. As light dissolves darkness, so is the Kingdom—all Light; It is the very Source of our outer light—for from It, within us, comes our life, that which liveth us
