The Inner Life
THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | DECEMBER 1934
are spiritually advanced beyond those planes. But they do teach a lot about those lower realms, all of which has been helpful in the awakening and informing of followers regarding the inner world of the ordinary soul. They call souls, spirits. Our terms are more scientific and more explanatory. We teach about the higher realms of the mental world and especially of the Spiritual world called the Kingdom; and as you know, we are not concerned about the psychic realms—excepting to explain what they are and how one should rise above them to the realms where Christ is the Great Leader and Teacher. Of course, the words, “rise above”, really mean to go deep within, for we go within in consciousness to reach these inner worlds.
Do not allow your friends to make you concerned about the Impersonal teachings. Spiritualism is all right for those who are interested in it and are receiving help from it. But even as you are not interested in its teachings but seeking higher truths, so must you keep your own opinion, allowing them theirs without argument or antagonism.

GETTING AND GIVING
WE NOTE what you say about wanting to be a giver rather than a getter. Perhaps this will help. If you realize that these truths are the most important things that can come into your life, are you not then willing to sacrifice some of the material things in order that you may have them and learn how to use the great blessings they will bring to you? You do not hesitate to spend the little you have now for material food, yet you fear to use your substance for Spiritual food, despite the great value you place upon it. Think this over. You can never be free from material lack until you turn wholly from the material to the things of the Spirit.
This means that until you can learn, in a way, know that God is your Supply, and will trust Him fully for it, will you never be able to demonstrate your life, wishes to give all of His Children who love and trust Him the fullness of His Life—which means every possible blessing.
When you realize this, you will not hesitate to give your last dollar for any need thing, for by so doing you will know that it but makes it possible for plenty more to flow to you.

OCCULT THINGS
THE REASON that you shrink from occult things is perhaps because of experiences with the wrong side of Occultism met with in a previous life. But you will find that if you will follow with us in a way we point, always turning to the Loving Christ within for His guidance and explanation of what is shown you, instead of heeding those fear thoughts that come and which should have no place in the mind of a disciple of Christ, you will make no mistake; because we follow and accept no other Leader or Teacher than Him.
