The Inner Life

THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | FEBRUARY 1936

Oh, I think of the Impersonal Teachings as a Home at the end of a long, long road, with the words “I ALONE AM,” across its portal, and I am shown a golden key. The key is LOVE. Maybe, there was a Shining One who whispered those words “I ALONE AM,” and pressed the key into my hands; for I entered. Christ opened the door, and I found nothing but a golden radiance and peace, within.

For some time I have rested in the peace and radiance of my Father’s home; but I remember so many who have not found Him, and whom I must help also to find their Home.

Therefore, recalling the words in the sacred Bhagavad Gita, “Having breaded the Universe with one fragment of Myself, I remain,” so must we realize that Universal Love is inexhaustible, that we may draw near to It and draw from It at all times; but that it is our duty, while incarnated in a human body, to USE it for the benefit of our fellowmen; that, having found the Kingdom, we must go forth “from” the Kingdom with the good tidings.

Truly, the angel within the heart sends forth to all mankind tidings of great joy, when the Christ-child is born within the human soul—tidings of a Love which exists not to help one get and be loved, but only that it may give.

MODERN MIRACLES

MUCH has happened during the two years since I first began studying the Impersonal Lessons, much that is just as miraculous as the things that happened 2000 years ago.

Last winter a man in my house was wounded by a bandit—shot when on the golf links, through the thigh close to the bone.

He insisted upon being brought home. I treated him that night until about midnight. A friend who is a truth student also came in and sat and worked with me for a time.

The next day, he dressed himself, came downstairs grinning, got into his car about 10 a. m. and drove downtown. He went about his business as usual and did not return until 11 p. m. His friends during the day were sending him flowers and calling to see him, and looked incredulous when told that he driven off in his car.
