The Inner Life
THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | FEBRUARY 1935
the Master and to use His Power in the instruction and training of your mind; so now must just your consciousness, through the truth taught your mind, descend and abide in it; that you and the mind may no longer be separate, even as you and the Father are not separate; and that your outer self may become the Master and also do the Father’s Will only, thus bringing His Consciousness, Power, and Love down to earth among men.
In other words, what is now our present Heaven is the soul realm, purified by Jesus Christ, the “first born of many brethren,” Who, having mastered the flesh and the selfish human mind through His crucifixion, ascended and ever since made His abode there. And from there He has ever been working, with Those who have followed Him and won Their way into His Kingdom during the centuries, to aid His younger brothers left behind to do as did He and They, so that He may fulfill His promise to bring Heaven down on earth to them who love Him, want to be like Him, and are ready to receive Him.
But the only way that can be accomplished is for them to live and do as He taught them, faithfully to obey and follow His every precept. This has been made clear to all who are making the finding of the Kingdom first in their lives, through the various instructions given. This means that they must live and do here on earth even as He did, must live the Christ Life in the flesh, must be Jesus Christs walking among men, even as He showed them how.
For what purpose did He come to earth? Was it that men should learn to be good, so that they could just go and live in Heaven? Was it that they should find the Kingdom, so that they could enter it and be saved and leave their brothers behind unaided? Was it to be a selfish salvation that would lift them away from the sufferings of their younger brothers?
No, dear friends, that is not the kind of salvation He brought us. He came to teach us how to be Master of all the forces of our nature—of our bodies, minds and souls; so that body, mind and soul will be one, with no separate consciousness, no harmony between them, but only One Consciousness—I AM; the outermost knowing as the innermost, that I, God, Alone AM.
The time has come and now is when you, in your outer consciousness, must assume the part you came here to play, must do the work of our Lord Jesus Christ which He appointed you to do.
