THE SANCTUARY OF THE SILENT HEALING POWER

progressive discernment, and when we establish that impersonal outlook
in ourselves we will find that we will no longer cling to authority and tradition,
which are cages in which we live.

Most people are imitators. They live on second-hand ideas for the
fulfilment of life. People of the same type gather together. You will notice
that the greater the mass the greater the ignorance, because they have the same
outlook. It is only the few who will get down to self-development, that is

the only way to realize Life’s purpose.
The majority think that Life’s purpose is sleeping, working for material
gain, eating and having plenty of amusements to drown the suffering that

it brings.
The next group are those who seek relief through religion of some kind.
So the great Spiritual thing in Life is standardized and the individual is smothered.

The individual is taught to want and to give but this is always a going
away from oneself. It is our being we have to recognise, this is the only
positive thing in us and this is what every one is seeking. To obtain it we must

not depend on external things. Our wanting or giving are personal things and
have nothing to do with Truth.
The majority try to buy themselves into Heaven. When we enter into
this Being which “Is” we become the sunshine in which all things grow

and in this Being we will find that there is nothing which is evil or good, bad or
indifferent for these are relative things and we are not the subjective reality
we are seeking. These things are made in man’s ignorance of his true nature.

We create the vibration and this produces the condition we ourselves rebel
against.
This knowledge is of priceless value and by applying it we shall know what
we can do. We will realize that our present physical condition and environment

is the result of our thinking. Our errors are externalized by the power of the
thought they engender, therefore we must examine our method of thinking.
We must remember that every thought attracts its kind and produces the

vibration which we see manifested on the screen of our lives.
To make a mental picture of physical perfection is not enough, there
must be a discerning of the motives and thoughts that cause these conditions

otherwise we will not be free. The mental attitude which we hold will keep
expressing itself in the subconscious and will show itself in the objective,
sooner or later.
