The Inner Life

THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | NOVEMBER 1936

JESUS, THE PHYSICIAN

THERE is no doubt but what you have been taught and led by the Christ within ever since your remarkable dream of February, 1935, which was symbolical of your being lifted in consciousness to where you were received, cleansed, and prepared by the Master for His Service.

Just hold fast to this realization and know that whatever has happened since in the outer or can happen, He is in charge and will never forsake you, that He is your health, your strength, your support, your supply, your sufficiency in all things. This He tried to tell you during the pain resulting from your operation in that other vision, when He said, “I am present, I will heal you and Be still and know that I AM God.” This being so, shall we tell you that if you can bring your mind to a simple, childlike, perfect love and trust in Him, into a knowing that He will take care of everything, you will find a real and perfect healing will take place of all those things that now appear to be wrong with you.

Can you not believe it with all the wonderful truths that have been told you? Not until you refuse to believe any of those negative and untrue things you are carrying around in your mind and others tell you and instead fix your mind and heart upon Him and the blessed things He told you, perfect health, peace and freedom cannot be yours.

VEGETARIANISM

THE ARTICLE on Vegetarianism was to help students adjust themselves to a real understanding of the subject. Many have become quite radical in their consideration of it, and feel it is the only way; when it is so foolish to think that what goes into the stomach can have any effect upon one’s Spiritual life and nature.

The law—what one thinks and believes to be so is what outmanifests, truly applies in this case. But the outmanifestation is a physical manifestation and not a Spiritual one. Those who think that they become more Spiritual by having a more delicate and sensitive body caused by the vegetarian diet can believe that, if they wish. But it does not make it so. They may get the delicate and sensitive body, and probably will—along with the trouble it will cause them; but it is only the Spiritual thoughts that one holds in one’s consciousness and practice in one’s life that make for true Spirituality.

WHEN ONE “LOSES” A POSITION

WE REGRET to learn that your work at the sanitorium is so quickly finished, but try to realize that you were taken away from there only because of some higher and better work awaiting you. We know that this now seems a little difficult to see, but as truly as your Higher Self gave you that work, so can He easily bring to you a better work. But your mind must be wide open to Him in a perfect love and trust,—or He cannot get your attention to lead you to or give you the work He has waiting for you.
