THE SANCTUARY OF THE SILENT HEALING POWER

Man’s intellectual nature being steeped in error he sees evil as a power
in the world. So he immediately tries to stamp it out with the result that he
creates more evil within himself.

If you kill a murderer do you not become a murderer too? If it is evil
to kill then you are evil even if you condone it, although you do not actually
take part in the killing, you are still responsible.
If we are interested in creating things to kill others, we cannot complain

if we get killed ourselves. We do not get what we want, but how we act
determines what we get. Our actions are none other than our own thought
projection—the projection of ourselves. How then can we stop all this misery

unless we transform ourselves?
The intellectual error is, that there is a power called evil opposing
good. So we out-picture the error which results in the destruction of mind,

body and circumstances.
What is our deepest thought? Is it not a belief in something that we
are afraid of? So man’s conception brings forth his misconception with the

result that he destroys himself.
What is it then that causes all this strife and misery in the world? It
cannot be anything outside man himself for what is outside man has no
power of its own. It is man’s action and reaction that operates from within

himself, that causes all the strife and misery. Therefore man is the cause,
no matter how we try to put the blame somewhere else. We are only trying
to escape the issue, that we ourselves are the cause.

We have different religions, different political views. We have different
nationalities, different ideologies. We try to impose our views upon others,
we give ourselves an exalted status because of our nationalities, our position.
We all have a different approach to God, and because of all this we have no

goodwill towards each other. Do you not think now that is very foolish?
Because of our ignorance we are unable to think for ourselves. So
we are fed on beliefs, ideas, dogmas, nationalism etc. Therefore we breed

discontent, which leads to conflict.
As human beings we must either pursue a path of constant and continuous
conflict, which is the result of our everyday action, or else see the cause of all

this misery and turn our backs upon it. If we had no beliefs but goodwill,
love and consideration between us there would be no war, no strife, no
misery.
