The Inner Life
THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | JANUARY 1935
YOU WILL now be shown, herein, just how to think pure, good and perfect thoughts consciously—those that God or the One Consciousness wants you to think and is ever waiting to outmanifest as His or Its pure and perfect life and nature.
Get quiet, still your mind and all the outer senses and try to know yourself as pure consciousness, a center of awareness of the One Consciousness. Try then to “see” that you are not your body, and that you are not your mind; that you can cause your mind to think whatever you want it to think, and likewise can cause it to make your body do what you will it to do; that you are also not your soul, for you can cause it to feel anything you wish it to feel by thinking of some act or experience that would induce such feeling—or you can prevent such feeling at will.
Having proven to yourself that you are not body, mind or soul, but are the consciousness and will inhabiting, informing and using each, try to realize everything about you as being pure consciousness, containing no forms of any kind; that all in this world of consciousness are good and perfect ideas waiting to be thought out or expressed in forms. Now, because you probably wish to go straight to the Kingdom, you can, allow us to show you the sure and perfect way in greater detail.
God being All in all, and therefore being all that you are, let us take that thought and try to “see” it in your mind—see yourself as God. He being your life, your consciousness and nature, that should not be difficult; for you will remember that you are a center of awareness of the One Consciousness that is God—are really that Consciousness waiting to express Itself in and through your outer self.
Let us now begin truly to think—by first realizing that all you are is God, the above all being true; that your body is God’s body; that you are not a self or form, separate or different from other parts of God, for they are all parts of yourself who is God; and that you are the pure consciousness and substance of God’s Body, waiting to be expressed or thought forth into a pure and perfect form.
Now try to think and see yourself as a Self in such a perfect form—a form such as you have thought Christ had when on earth, and Whom you know to be the Ideal or Pattern for all men.
