THE SANCTUARY OF THE SILENT HEALING POWER
This is the only source of power and we will experience this power when
we begin to think with understanding.
The individualization of the highest Universal Intelligence becomes
our creative power to the corresponding degree that we recognise it and
nothing else, upon this inner self we must rely and not upon another self
however great. The Universal Creative Intelligence becomes individualized
when it is fully realized by the individual as the only source of Life and action.
The Master said. “it is the Father who ever remains in me who is
performing His own deeds.” The connecting link between the Universal and
the individual is the conscious awareness of this great Truth that the Master
revealed, and this Truth must be found by the individual through action, not
merely through belief. The thoughts that flow from the consciousness that
is feeling aware, produces results one hundredfold.
The whole Universe is made manifest in form from the formless through
the direct action of thought. The basis of this perfect creation is founded on
“Love.” The law of permanent growth in us depends upon the Law of Love
and how to express it. In other words, what profit has man if he gains the whole
world and loses his own soul. Paul says, “I may distribute all I possess in
charity but if I have no love I make nothing of it.”
You may ask me for the rule of successful living and I will refer you
to the Master’s words, “thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart with
all thy soul and with all thy mind.” “Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”
“Love thy neighbour as thyself.” These words challenge us. Yet we
push them aside saying it may be a virtue but it is not practical. But without
the observance of this law no successful living can be attained.
Our neighbour is not only essential to us economically and socially,
but is also the expression of the “One” Whole to which we all belong. If we are
to accomplish successful living we must understand the joint relationship of
ourselves, our neighbours and the Creative Principle that lies behind all. The
consciousness of this relationship will create a new world for all to live in.
Unfortunately the motive to help serve others is not always pure, for
within the desire there is hidden pride and conceit, the clamour to help is more
often born of vanity. If we would help our neighbour we must know ourselves,
for we are the other fellow. Outwardly we may be different but inwardly we
are very much alike, driven by craving, dread and ambition.
Without knowledge of the self we will not understand the Other’s needs.
Without this understanding we are acting in ignorance so creating more misery
