THE SANCTUARY OF THE SILENT HEALING POWER
Now prayer is the most common thing in the world yet it is the least
understood. All people engage in it no matter what creed on colour. It is
unfortunate however that the masses are still steeped in idolatry and superstition
and have no real understanding of what they are worshipping or praying to
and this is mainly the cause why prayers are not answered.
Jesus said, You are worshipping something you do not know; we are
worshipping what we do know. ...The real worshippers will worship the Father
in Spirit and in Truth. ...God is Spirit and his worshippers must worship him in
Spirit and in Reality.
There is only one Creator, Life. And we are told that in the Beginning
there was only God. “I am the only One and there is none other beside Me.”
St. John tells us that “The word was in the beginning, that the very word was
with God, and God was that word....and the word was made flesh.” When we
begin to think we see clearly that there is only one infinite Mind that fills
boundless space and there can be no outside this mind, all must be in it and
of it. Paul says, “We live and move and have our being in him.”
This is very difficult for those who are steeped in idolatry to comprehend yet
it is an absolute Truth. The similarity is seen in electricity—the electric current
that leaves the powerhouse at a tremendous voltage is the same electricity that
reveals itself in light and power, the only difference is the degree, the quality is
the same. So is the same Life in God expressed in us proving the inseparable link
we have with our Father-Mother-God, the supreme Power of the Universe.
So in seeking to understand prayer we must realize the fundamental
unity relating us with God, and without this permanent unity God would not
be infinite. Therefore we identify ourselves “One” Life that is all, in all.
It has been the lack of this understanding that has led to doubts and
the varying beliefs which causes separation and strife and therefore makes
prayer futile and ineffective.
Science has proved that matter or solid substance can be dissolved into
energy and becomes invisible and this energy fills all space. Commonly called
“ether of space” which permeates everything and out of this invisible substance
“ether” all things are made. Now this ether of space can be none other: than an
expression of the Infinite Mind which fills boundless space and the final
conclusion all thinking minds must come to, is that Spirit creates the world
and flesh by becoming the world and flesh; that is why the prophet told us that
the Word was with God and God was the Word and the word was made
