The Inner Life

THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | NOVEMBER 1934

darkened and separate consciousness, and that when it turns as a whole to the Light it will see the Great Reality, the Actual Presence of all it has been seeking, and that it has been there always.

Then will the earth and all of its illusions, including the sense of separation from the good, the true, the beautiful and the perfect, have disappeared, even as when one faces the light there is no darkness; and humanity’s consciousness will no longer be separate but will be in and of the Light, because it will be a conscious part of the One Consciousness we call God.

THIS ILLUSTRATION has been given to show you what the mind of man is not, as well as to show you what it is and of what it is a part—the outermost part of the One Consciousness; that not until it realizes its Oneness and its outer relation to the All, and is thereby able to go more or less within the All, it cannot recognize itself as a soul or identify itself with the Soul of All.

That is what we are trying to get the consciousness of all who read to do. The very reading of this article as it should be read, making your mind stay with each thought in each phrase in each sentence, until all of its inner meaning is clear, will draw your mind deep within in consciousness, so that you will know yourself as a center of awareness perceiving and studying these new ideas; just as if they came from within yourself as consciousness—as will come many other ideas to confirm and amplify these truths, if you persist.

By this time you will have discovered that your mind is also in the nature of an instrument which you can use mentally or in the mental world, much as you use your hand in the physical world. By thinking and proper training, you can use mind or hand in their respective worlds to create anything you desire. All you have to do is to think clearly what you desire, see it complete and perfect in your mind; then hold it in consciousness believing with deep feeling it is so, and it will have to outmanifest—for into that thought-picture will pour, as air into a vacuum, all the substance, life and power of the One Mind, marking it so. Think what a mighty power and potentiality is ever waiting to do your bidding!
