The Inner Life
THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | DECEMBER 1934
God naturally links thy consciousness with His Consciousness and thereby brings thee perfection, and in perfection there are no such things as mistakes. In that consciousness thou ever hast access to All Truth, and at will thou art given knowledge of anything thou needest to know, as well as discrimination and good judgment.
Love, too, for all things, animate and inanimate, will be thine; for is not God a God of Love, and is not Love but another name for God? Then thou must practice the Presence of Love—must love all things and all men—must see God in them and nothing else.
Again I say unto thee, if thou wilt but practice the Presence of God, thou canst no more think ill of thy neighbor; thou canst no more falsify against him, nor shall there be need of laws and commandments. For thou shalt come into that consciousness, that state of Godliness, which knows that Christ, the Son of God, in thus condemning thy neighbor, is but being crucified again.
And in that consciousness, if any among thy neighbors shall be sick, by thy Word—which is God and is with God—shall they be healed. If any be distressed, or hungry, or unclad, by the same Word and the same manner shall they be made to rejoice. Yea, they shall be fed, they shall be clothed; for the Word which hath power to heal, hath also the power to bring succor to thy brothers, whatever be their needs.
O, dear ones, when thou hast entered into the Wondrous Place, then are prayers no longer necessary; then dost the thought of self never intrude—for art thou not knowingly in God’s Presence, and is it not a surety that He, who knows of a sparrow’s fall, taketh heed of thee also, and shall give to thee a peace and serenity of knowing that whatever thou hast need of is thine before thou asketh?
Beloved, hath the dear Lord and Master, Christ Jesus, lived and died in vain, that thou knowest not these things? I say unto thee in very truth, they that are His are they who seek only to do His Will, and this with all their hearts; for when they surrender self’s will they do but surrender the son of perdition, who with his desires ever kept their hearts turned from Christ.
Many are there who shall be with Him in that day soon to come, but the few who were chosen are the selfless ones of whom I speak. Are ye of them? Judge for thyself.
