Page 348 - THE SILENT HEALING POWER By DR. MURDO MACDONALD-BAYNE

DECEMBER 1952

Through the discovery of his true relationship to the Divine Mind
he arises and “returns to the Father,” thereby being a child of the Almighty
he can speak “the word of power” through the Divine potentialities inherent

within himself.
He may have been the prodigal son who is ignorant of this Truth or
he may be the respectable brother who thought that only limited supplies were
doled out to him. But as soon as the truth dawned upon him he realized the

meaning of the words, “Son, thou art ever with me and all that I have is thine.”
Here we become fellow-workers with the Father of all, invited to work
in harmony with one another in His vineyard, to carry on the work of the

Universal “the Whole” vested in man himself. The key is found in the
Master’s words, “the Father worketh hitherto, and I work.”
All that I can do in this letter is to point this out to you, but you must

make your own personal application of it. For the law remains forever the
same that through action in Divine Truth is produced the corresponding
unfoldment of Truth. The Supreme Truth is reached in that final recognition of

the Divine Name. “God is Love” therefore our action must be Love to express
the Divine Mind in man.
Now comes the question, how can we solve the present chaos in our
minds and bodies and in the world? We may solve the problem of our bodies

from an external point of view temporarily, but to heal permanently we must
solve the problem of our minds and our reaction in our relationship with others.
If war is waging within ourselves it will eventually externalize itself in our

minds, bodies and in the world, for we are the world.
War in the world is the spectacular and bloody projection of our
everyday life. War is merely an outward expression of our inward state, an
enlargement of our daily action. It is perhaps more bloody, more destructive,

but it is the collective result of our individual thought and action. Obviously
we have not discovered the cause because we have not discerned the cause
within ourselves.

We are therefore responsible for war, internally and externally. If we
can see what creates wars and if we are interested in stopping wars then we can
begin to transform ourselves, who are the cause of the war, internally and

externally.
What is it that causes this war? Craving for things, belief in either
nationalism, in ideologies or in particular dogmas which create in ourselves
