THE SANCTUARY OF THE SILENT HEALING POWER

Any great thing that was ever done by man was done when the mind
was concentrated in the present with no other thought or interruption of any kind.
This is the Infinite Self giving expression to Itself through the individual—the

vehicle of expression.
You cannot separate a part from the whole, separation exists only in
your individual consciousness, and this is the illusion that causes frustration.
For if you feel yourself to be only a part seeking to become one with Life, the

Life that is behind all invisible and visible manifestation, if you feel this Life is
external to the self then there can never be a cessation of this continuous
struggle that you are engaged in.

Most people are trying to picture what God is like, then He becomes an
image in the mind. When this is so, there is limitation, living in the past and future,
living in a mind that is crowded out with events and sorrow, pain, hates,

jealousies, frustration.
When you get a glimpse of this Infinite Life, this Life in which there is
no separation, no sorrow, no pain, no past, no future, no birth, no death, when

you can realize this presence of the Omnipresence, then there is spontaneous
action. You wear away the wall of separation that is in your own consciousness.
When there is complete realization of the ever-present there is no longer
any craving, for you are everything, you are creation and the scar of individuality that

was in the consciousness will have vanished. It is this scar of individuality that is in
the consciousness that is the cause of all struggle, the cause of all craving, the cause
of this separate existence, the cause of fear for the future, fear of memories

of the past.
The only experience that is retained is that which is pleasing to the Infinite, all
else dissolves away. There cannot be perfect action in the present when there is
a sense of separation. This, all must learn, for it is the way to perfect happiness

and success.
Perfect action, or pure action I often call it, is the result of the consciousness
realizing its oneness with the Whole, understanding all external to it, the past or

future, so that it becomes aware of the external as the effect and not the cause.
The cause is the creativeness within and this creativeness is not separate from
that within the individual.

This is often difficult for the students to grasp at first because most of
their reactions are made from the external world, not knowing what it is.
