THE SANCTUARY OF THE SILENT HEALING POWER
We all generalise Life by names such as Christ, Reality, Essence, Truth,
God etc. When we do so we set up in our minds different ideas of what we
think Life is, but you will readily see that Life is not an idea nor an image
in the mind. Life is our living, expressing Creativeness within, which is not
separate from the Livingness of the Eternal Christ.
Names give a relative characterization to Life and few have become
aware of this fact, therefore we will never find this Creativeness until we have
discerned this clearly. Names and ideas and our beliefs change from day to
day, but never this Eternal Living Creativeness which neither knows birth nor
death.
When we become “aware” of ourselves as the Living Ever-present
Creative Life which alone has consciousness, there is a continual unfoldment
through which we continually make adjustments as we begin to understand
ourselves. We see how our thoughts and emotions arise, consequently we
begin to understand ourselves.
That which creates is that which is behind all creation including man and
has no beginning and no ending. All manifested substance, forms, composition,
all visible things are but the expression of this Interior Creativeness and is the
invisible Essence within that substance, form, composition and all visible
things. Just as electricity is the invisible power in the dynamo so is Life that
invisible power within us—that creativeness that has no beginning, no ending?
Yet to think about this, makes It relative—thereby we lose the awareness
of It. When we discern our own creations-thoughts-emotions-effects and
become aware of our own creativeness, then does the consciousness begin
to know Itself, not in the knowing of what It is, but of becoming “aware”
as the Creativeness behind all things, great and small.
There is “identification” not in the relative as an idea in mind but as
an anterior and interior “identification” that realizes and understands what
is behind all Creation and is the Creativeness within the self. Yet only when the
self has disappeared can the Completeness of this “Invisible Creativeness”
be realized.
Is it not so that we are caught up in our own creations, and are not
aware of the Creativeness, that “Invisible Force” that holds our creations in
substance, composition and form? When we are caught-up in the created then
we react to the created and our thought-feeling is built up from our mental
reactions to the external, so we are no longer “aware.” We become chaff that is
blown about by every wind that blows.
