THE SANCTUARY OF THE SILENT HEALING POWER

This knowing of the Master proved that his faith was not put upon
any individual agency but untimely in the Father who resided within him,
not as something apart from him but the very nature of God was in himself, so

that whatever he asked believing that he would receive, so he should have.
And the same message he gives to us, when we also believe as he did,
“whatsoever ye ask, believing ye have received so shall ye have.”
Lack of understanding is the cause of our lack of Love and Faith.

When we love we are on the crest of the wave that carries us on to fame
and fortune. Faith is absent where there is fear of not having, this sense of
not having is the seed of doubt and fear. But when we know that it is our

thought that reproduces itself we see how necessary it is to follow in the
Master’s footsteps.
In the Life of Jesus this truth was lived out completely. He showed in

terms of simple beauty that all may follow, so that all may reach the pinnacle of
perfection that he reached. Yet today we look over a world that is suffering
from the scars of war and strife and still the world is quarrelling over the way it

should live.
It is evident that the world has failed to understand and practice the
teaching of the Master. Instead of realizing the oneness of all Life, so simply
expressed in the Master’s own words, “I and the Father are one,” those who

follow him have set up an image of Jesus as a form of worship instead of
applying his teachings in their lives. By doing so they have put Jesus and
all he stood for far away, quite beyond their reach.

Mankind must clear away the fog of this illusion before he can claim
his true birthright shown again in the Master’s words, “call no man your
father on earth for one is your Father who is in heaven.” In the light of this
truth the miracles of two thousand years ago are possible today.

We must all realize that great truth the Master gave in simple language
for all to understand, that this Truth would set us free. Through ignorance and
craving, man has turned away from that ever-flowing Font of Living Water

offered to him as a wonderful free gift from God leading us to eternal bliss.
Have we not all the world over erroneously exercised our Divine Gift of
free will by disregarding the gift of eternal Life and Love, and we are now

nearing the point where we touch the darkest depths of our own self-created
misery. But this is the point where we perceive a gleam of light as we raise
our eyes and see the Star of Bethlehem still shining as gloriously as it ever did.
