The Inner Life

THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | JANUARY 1935

THE TIME has come when all true servers of humanity, regardless of the church, spiritual, metaphysical or occult movement in which they are now enlisted, must work together as one; they can no longer be divided, because of such affiliations. Therefore when an Inner Worker finds one such true server, let him not hesitate to invite him to join with him for such Inner Work in his community; try to show him that all past study, training and teaching was but a preparation for this particular work at this particular time; and that now their true and active affiliation should be with their Brothers in Christ, whether they be in spirit or in the flesh. The real ones will not hesitate, for their souls will instantly recognize the Call and require them to respond.

If in their particular movement there are other real ones, such can form them into another inner group within their own movement, if they so prefer, to work similarly under Christ’s direction; urging, however, that all send in their names as volunteers, so that they may receive any special word that will be given when all is ready. For those who have found Christ in their hearts, and are living now solely to serve and please Him, can no longer be bound by or held in any outer movement. All such movements truly consecrated to Him are really One Movement, linked indissolubly with their Brothers in Christ in Spirit.

We are glad to say that we are receiving requests to participate in this Inner Work from more than a few of the real ones in other movements. In fact, all real ones recognize in their souls that within a very few months there must be a union of all Christ workers in the outer, if they are to be fused with their fellow workers in Spirit, as indicated in recent articles. Those in the Inner and Outer must work as One, if they are truly One in Christ. Can you not see that? Then do not let any hesitate, but surrender all to Him.

If your soul is yearning to serve, what are you allowing to hold you back—what personal interests are still first, before the Master’s Work? How long are you going to allow these interests to interfere?

No plain duty ever interferes, especially those duties affecting others. Those, the Master within requires you to do. But the time is here when self interests will no longer be permitted to interfere. Either self must yield or it must suffer greatly.
