deliver all who, through fear of death, were all their lifetime subject to
bondage. In Hebrews 2: 14-15 we read thus:
(14) “For as much then as the children are partakers of flesh and
blood he also himself likewise partook of the same and by his death he has
destroyed him that hath the power of death, that is the Devil.
(15) “And has released them who through fear of death all their lives
were subject to slavery (bondage).”
We readily see that there can be no Universal Devil in the same sense as
there is a Universal God, therefore there can be no individual devils, only
ignorant “Spirits,” for we are all of the same Spirit and no harm can come
nigh to one who realizes this Truth.
There are many more aspects of which I can speak to you, on the
subject but I want to bring home to you the importance of the removal of this
limitation which is self-imposed.
This must be done and can only be done by the removal of the barriers
imposed upon the Self by the self. There must be a constant breaking down of
all limitation made by the Devil and death till the Self arrives at the point where
there are no more barriers between it and the Eternal the “Self” made immortal
deathless, imperishable, everlasting, indestructible and all-abiding through
understanding. The Self is perfected because of its immortality.
Wherever there is limitation, ignorance of this Truth, there is sorrow and
man is always seeking a “way,” this only leads to struggle and exploitation. It is
only when you recognize your struggle you will recognize your exploiters.
You are seeking that freedom of that “existence” that cannot be touched
by the non-existent, this can only be done when you recognize the “non-existent”
for what it is, the Satan that blinds you to that which is Real and Eternal, this is
the immortality of the individual.
It is the “I”-ness in the Self which causes all these barriers which separate,
which create false realities. This “I” must be made immortal, imperishable,
made pure through “Wholeness.”
Life fulfils Itself in freedom which is eternity. This is the ocean into which all
must enter knowing that the true beginning of the Self-discipline is understanding.
Then you will know the difference between that which does exist and
that which does not exist.
The Devil is dethroned never again to rise up in your mind to confuse you.
“Get thee behind me, Satan.” The head of the “Serpent” the deceiving element
is forever crushed never to rise up again.
