The Inner Life

THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | NOVEMBER 1935

which conscience expresses, there is the Presence of the Infinite One.

Understanding the God-Life, the One Center, to be in the depths of our own hearts, shall we learn to turn within, thinking of the Father as our True Self, and likewise (for Him within one’s heart) as each of His other children—the same One. (And as there is One Life, so is there but One Body, the Body of God; the universe is indivisible One, all seemingly separate bodies are inseparable parts of God’s Body, the One Body, and in their totality compose His Body.)

To quote from Your Own Path, “Faith leads thee to touch the Keystone, and Oneness is revealed in thee, so that thou seest in the one self and Oneness will be born into thy mind; for all are One with Divine Life.” Thus shall we cease from the mistake of individuality, and no longer seeing the personal illusion of others, but only the Reality, shall we be truly helpful.

True Faith is from within; trust blossoms into deep-rooted Love. Loving the Father must we make Him first in our lives, and surrender wholly to Him, turning from all conscious mind action, from all personal desire, giving all and asking naught. “The disciple follows the Light through Love alone.”

We are here only for the Father’s use—as we live only to fulfill that purpose shall we be cleansed by the flow of His Love, and know that He is within us. Then shall He use us as His own, and on earth shall His Will be done as it is in Heaven. —F. E. D.

BIRTH AND DEATH

THERE is no death of anyone but only in appearance, even as there is no birth of any save only a seeming. The change from being to becoming seems to be birth, and the change from becoming to being seems to be death; but in reality no one is ever born nor does one ever die. It is simply a being visible and then invisible; the former through the density of matter, and the latter because of the subtlety of being—being which is ever the same, its only change being motion and rest. —Apollonius of Tyana.
