THE INNER ROOM
CONTAINING quotations from our replies to those writing us for help in their Spiritual problems.
Each day at 12 o’clock noon, we take the names of those asking for such help in the Silence of the Spirit, and “Speak the Word” for them. Many hundreds have testified to receiving the blessings of such ministry.
A PROTECTIVE WALL
ABOUT your being so tired in the morning, before you go to sleep try to do just what we say. Get perfectly quiet, relax and then try to feel the life force pouring forth from the Source of life within you and radiating to the circumference of your being. Try to feel it as a warmth and then a tingling until you almost see it radiating from the center of your being as a great Light. Then know that this Life is vitalizing, healing, strengthening and making you whole and perfect. Actually FEEL all this and the perfect health resulting, until you become POSITIVE in your knowing it is so.
If you will do this faithfully every night before you go to sleep, you will find you will not only grow much stronger, physically, mentally, and every other way, but it will be a protective wall that will ward off every negative and harmful influence either in the night time or in the day time.

AUTOMATIC WRITING
ABOUT your automatic writing and the things that come. We cannot see any good in any of it; it is all mysterious and intriguing and tells of strange things, those taught in mythology—but of what good is it all. and who cares about it?
Therefore, why waste your time with such stuff? Unless you can get things that are practical, inspiring and helpful, refuse to lend yourself to such forces.
If you will make this an invariable rule, you will find that these forces will leave you and you will then be open to the much higher inspiration and guidance of your own True Self. Think this over, and see if you would not much prefer such guidance and teaching.

WHEN YOU NO LONGER NEED BOOKS OR TEACHERS
HOW TRUE you are finding it that ordinary books now, in the new consciousness you are in, have no longer anything in them that appeals, and that you need no outer instruction from books or teachers. For, you now know that you have within you the one and only authoritative Teacher and the highest and best possible for you—your own Inner and True Self. Be faithful to Him and let Him decide everything. When the sure knowing of this is established so that the mind looks to Him only for guidance, can you not see that there will no longer be two, He and you, but only one, and You will be that One? The other will then be but your human mind which has become Your loving and obedient servant.

REAL KNOWING
REGARDING the seeming stopping of supply, as you have seen it is only a belief of the mind accepting what appears to be so. Unconsciously it has allowed that belief to enter and to become more or less established. You see, after the mind has been taught this great truth that it is only what you think and believe so that is manifesting, and has been shown its high possibilities up to the point where it accepts it all as being so, and then in this new understanding is allowed to enjoy the consciousness of this new truth, it becomes necessary to test and prove it—the mind’s belief.
And so it looks as if you are being called upon now to prove whether you really know, instead of just believe this truth. Can you not see this, dear friend? When the knowing is fully established there will be no such recessions, because nothing can get into the consciousness that will unsettle that knowing as a belief can be unsettled. Think this over and get busy and cleanse your consciousness of all that has been doing this “unsettling.”

WHAT IS SEEKING FIRST THE KINGDOM
WE NOTE your confusion over the seeming condition in the instructions in THE WAY OUT and in the promise that by seeking first the Kingdom and His righteousness all things will be added.
Try to realize that in the past without realizing it you ignorantly brought into manifestation all the unwanted conditions in evidence in your life. By learning the Law back of such manifestation as taught you in THE WAY OUT, you can now consciously and wisely create the conditions you want to manifest. By seeking first the Kingdom, which means the consciousness of God, you thereby connect your consciousness with His and thus open the door, as it were, for you to be shown and enabled to do whatever God wants you to do.
You have learned the statement, “We shall know the Truth, and the Truth will make you free.” The teachings in THE WAY OUT are helping you to know the truth so that you can be free, free from the ignorance of wrong thinking and creating. By learning how to think only good and constructive thoughts and to do only what God would have you do, you are seeking first the Kingdom and you will be shown and will know that God wants you to have every good thing in life.
Therefore you must see—the manifesting in all your affairs, thereby starting it coming to you—by thus creating it on the mental plane. That is the only way anything ever comes into outer manifestation. It must first be seen, vitalized, known to be true and real, and then lived—when it must come into manifestation.
Think this over until you get the full inner meaning of it, and it will help you very much.
