Page 231 - THE SILENT HEALING POWER By DR. MURDO MACDONALD-BAYNE

February 1951

My dear friends,

This month has been a record month for the Sanctuary, month after
month the work increases. This month we have registered over 1,500 for help
and guidance and have answered over 1,000 letters. As this letter is a longer

one than usual I am not giving extracts from any letters this month.
I want to thank all those who have sent in letters of thanks and appreciation.
I feel uplifted when I read these letters, to think that such a great amount of

work is being done all over the world through the Sanctuary.
The title of this month’s letter is:

“WITH THEE IS THE FOUNTAIN OF LIFE”*
Psa. 36: 9.

“Where could I go from Thy Spirit, where could I flee
from Thy face?”
“I praise Thee for the awful wonder of my birth; Thy
work is wonderful. For Thou didst form my being,

didst weave me in my mother’s womb. Thou knowest all
about my soul, my body is no mystery to Thee, . . .”
Psalms 139.

We create ideas in the inner realm and their power is according to
the nature that we attribute to them. Fear of an idea on our part causes it to
condense so that it might be seen even with the natural eye.

Then we identify it with what we believe to be real with all its horrible
characteristics held in the mind. If we could only understand what we are doing
we will see that the only power it has is the power we give to it.

Matter does not create for there is no power or action in matter by itself.
By our ignorance we have closed our eyes to the creative power within ourselves
in which lies the cause of every effect visible in the natural world.

By understanding ourselves we will know that we have our happiness
or misery in our hands, and much of the suffering of the world will be done
away with.
