THE SANCTUARY OF THE SILENT HEALING POWER

antagonists, ill-will and all the things that set into operation the cause of strife,
internally and externally.
If we had no belief but goodwill, love wisdom, which would develop

brotherly consideration between us then there would be no wars inside or out.
What most cannot or will not discern is that we are fed with propa-
ganda, we are fed with antagonistic ideas towards each other, fed on dogmas
and national divisions and hatreds which breed confusion within our minds

and bodies and breed discontent in families, groups and nations.
We can either pursue a path of constant conflict and continuous war
within and without as the result of our everyday action, or we can discern the

cause of war and “arise and return to the Father,” thereby becoming a child
of the Almighty and speaking the word of power through the potentialities
of Love and Wisdom inherent within us, thus we have peace in and out.

Is not our action in ignorance of our Divine nature the cause of war?
We desire the outward show of power, position, prestige. Are we not diseased
with what we call nationalities, we all worship a flag, we are diseased with

organised religion so we worship a dogma. We are diseased with greed, diseased
with envy, therefore we are producing our own society which leads to our
destruction of minds, bodies and circumstances through war within and
without, created by ourselves.

Therefore it does not depend upon our leaders, it depends upon our-
selves, but we do not seem to realize that.
If we really felt the responsibility of our own actions we could bring

about an end to all this war within and without and all the appalling misery
we create for ourselves and others.
But if we are indifferent because we have three meals a day, a job, a
banking account etc., we do not want to be disturbed, so we add more coals to

the fire because of our action towards others. We want to maintain things as they
are but there is nothing to maintain. Everything is disintegrating about us. We
do not want to face the fact that we are responsible for war within and without.

We may talk about health schemes, we may talk about peace, sit
around a table and discuss, yet inwardly maintain our greed, selfishness, our
antagonisms, our ideas, our nationalities, our intrigues, our actions in our

relationship to others. If we are bound by our beliefs, our dogmas, for which
we are willing to die and destroy each other, do you think we can have
peace inwardly and outwardly?
