The Inner Life
THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | JANUARY 1936
Self. But all of humanity is not yet through every avenue expressing the perfect pattern that we know as Jesus Christ, although within every human manifestation is hidden and is expressing His image and likeness.
This is rather deep, but it will pay you to stay with it until you get all of its real meaning, which is very wonderful.

GOITRE
YOUR letter received and we note that after getting our last letter and doing what was shown you the goitre was much better, but that there has been a seeming relapse.
We ask you to study carefully the thoughts and especially the feelings that you are carrying around in your consciousness, and if possible how these feelings affect the appearance of goitre—when there is fear and worry it becomes more pronounced, and when you have faith and become fearless you hardly notice it is there.
Now note particularly the feelings that caused the relapse and then try to see that when you do just what you were told to do and hold true in your mind the picture given you, the improvement will be sure to follow. If it did it at first, it will do it again.
Above all things in practicing the exercise given, mentally push the life forces in the blood to the congested parts, seeing these forces break down the old dead tissue clogging up the arteries and permitting the blood to penetrate and bring about a renewal of the circulation. See this clearly and with it the veins carrying away the dead matter and the surplus flesh of the goitre.
Just as surely as you do this will the goitre go down and the trouble disappear. But you must all the time watch carefully all feelings of fear, doubt, worry, criticism or inharmony of any kind that try to get in the mind, which must be kept absolutely free of all negative and untrue thoughts, so the picture of a perfect neck only is thus built back in your mind. For nothing less than a perfect picture can have any part in a consciousness that is trying to express God’s perfect life.

THE OUTER GARMENT
NO, Dear friend, we were not in any way disappointed in meeting you in person; for we saw how beautiful and perfect from the beginning, as we know your soul really is. Your outer personality means nothing to us other than as the garment you wear. Therefore we cherish and bless it even as we do you.
When the past is really dead and wholly so conscious (from what follows will see that it is not yet wholly so) the outer appearance will be beautiful, a replica of the inner you; it will be a wonderful garment—an instrument which you can use as perfectly what you came here to do. So try to forget utterly that old self that the mind sees; try to get back in the consciousness of your True Self and abide there always, where you will be unaffected by anything that will come to pass. That must be your continual effort from now on, for there are wonderful things awaiting those who can do that.
