Page 338 - THE SILENT HEALING POWER By DR. MURDO MACDONALD-BAYNE

OCTOBER 1952

There is no special state of learning required for one to renew the body
and soul. For the laws of Nature, mental, spiritual and physical will serve
us in exact proportion that we understand and observe them.

Love is the secret, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto
you,” is not a mere command but the law of Divine protection.
When the prophet said, “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth”
he did not mean that we must apply the Law ourselves but meant that the

Law of balance would extract in exact proportion as we dealt out to others.
Nature forces us into a corner where we are forced to use her laws with
intelligence and understanding. If we kill a murderer do we not become

murderers as well?
We must make ourselves independent of other people’s efforts on our
behalf. Dependence on others has been the cause of much unhappiness and

disappointment, and has brought distrust mid failure into many lives. We must
work from the centre outwards, not from out in, “whatever I see the Father
do I do likewise.” This means we no longer wait for others to act for us but

become creative, co-operating with the all-Creative Life.
If you are dominated by example or follow a pattern or recognise the
only authority as being that of something that happened previously or be
limited by existing facts you will never be really creative. You must transcend

the experiences of the past and enter into the Ever-present, that realm where
others fear to tread. Then you are automatically endowed with unlimited
resources. Remember we cannot use the Law unless we apply it.

The true sower is one who knows himself, then his faith increases.
For there is no difference in the Law that operates in the ear of corn and the
Law that operates in man’s consciousness, aware of the one Creative Law,
yet most people have failed to see this Truth.

A well-ordered individual is one who intelligently directs his thoughts
and efforts in accordance with these Laws therefore a well-ordered society
rises out of individuals who understand.

When man’s mind is focussed less upon the created and more upon the
Creator he will not be dominated by circumstances and things. For is it not
the craving for things that all the trouble is about in the world today? Man

has enslaved himself by allowing effects to determine his state of mind and
thus he is controlled by the effects of his own cause.
Only when man feels the thrill that comes from the self- confidence

arising out of his realization of his true relationship to the Creator of all things
