This is infinitely more beneficial to us than all our prayers, offerings and
sacrifices.
The offering of prayers year after year has never taken the sense of
error out of the world. If the teachings of Jesus had not been mutilated to
suit the dogmatists and separatists, man would have freed himself long
ago from imitation and belief, which is causing so much separation and
strife in the world today. Good prayers are our acts, false prayers are our
words, “By their fruit ye shall know them.”
It is not all those who say, “Lord, Lord,” shall enter the Kingdom,
the Kingdom of Truth within, which is free from all conditioning. It is not
those who say, “I see” but those who do, so that the world will be wiser for
the transformation. It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle
than for one who is only learned in worldly knowledge to embrace the Truth of
the Living Christ.
It is this great Truth that we must see. It is not an intellectual reaction
that is required, but action so that transformation can take place immediately.
Unless we can see that we are lost in a host of images that mean nothing,
we will continue to be lost in images and ideas which blind us to Reality,
so the blind lead the blind and they all fall into the ditch.
When freedom is obtained you understand, you think purely and move
fearlessly even in the world of shadows. There is no more hindrance when
you know all your accumulations are but memories. The Word that was in
the beginning is now, and is made manifest in the flesh. The flesh has no
say in the matter, so the Word remains immortal.
The Consciousness of the Divine moves in the individual and just
as the planets are planned by the great Architect of the Universe, so the same
activity is moving man and there is nothing to fear. Man creates his own
fears and hopes through his ignorance of the Truth of his Being.
In this discovery we find that there is only “One Being” and there is
none other, therefore this “Being” must be our Being for there can be none
other. Therefore I am and you are the same Being. There can be no isolation in
Reality. “The Kingdom is within you.”
“Honour conferred upon a fool is like a bag of gems laid on heap of
stones.” Prov. 26: 8 (Moffatt)
