Page 228 - THE SILENT HEALING POWER By DR. MURDO MACDONALD-BAYNE

JANUARY 1951
If we look into our mind-heart and there discern our motives, our

thoughts and actions, we will discover that we are seeking power, we are greedy,
there is violence in the mind-heart through antagonisms, envy, jealousy,

acquisitiveness. The Timeless, the Real is thus ever hidden, covered up by
those elements that spring from time, from yesterday, from tomorrow.
If we are to bring about the necessary fundamental change in the outer
with its wars and tyrannies we must firstly deeply transform ourselves. Some

may think that this will take a long time before the world will be reformed, but
as long as man is caught up in time there will be no reformation. Right ends
never come through wrong means. Only through the Ever-present, the Timeless

that is now can we see the Light, that was the Light of mankind that came
into the world for man’s salvation.
It is ignorance that prevents right thinking and gives emphasis to the
things that are secondary, so Life becomes an intolerable burden from which all are

seeking an escape. But there is no escape except through understanding.
Only when the storm and conflict of time cease can the Timeless be

understood. We do not bring It into operation. It becomes active of Itself when
the storm abates. The Sea of Galilee was calmed by the Word that was in the
beginning so is the mind calmed by the wisdom of the Truth of the Timeless.
If we would try then to understand the outer we must come to the inner

and when the inner is rightly understood we are led to the Supreme, the Timeless,
the Ever-present. This is the realization that brings peace to the world through
the soul of man.

We can readily see now that the world is in chaos because we have
pursued wrong values. We have given prominence to the things that produce
conflict and misery.
True value is found only in right thinking and there can be no right

thinking without self-knowledge, that which will lead us out of the time
element into that which is Timeless, Eternal and Ever-present. This is the
Reality where alone can be found true Love, Compassion and Freedom.

Remember that true Love is compassion, not passion.
This is the Living Water that Jesus said was the free Gift of God and
any one who would drink It would never thirst anymore. This water would turn
into a Spring of Living Water welling up to Eternal Life.

To worship God we must know what we are worshipping, not an idol
or an image, nor secondary issues but the Eternal which is that Timeless Reality

within everyone, and is waiting to come forth when we clear the way.
