THE SANCTUARY OF THE SILENT HEALING POWER

must be complete otherwise there is no forgiveness. Forgiveness must be
within and not without, otherwise how can we expect forgiveness unless we
are free ourselves by complete forgiveness of the whole world.

The Christ Spirit is within and is the very Spirit of forgiveness that
can say at the hour of greatest trial and pain: “Forgive them for they know
not what they do.”
We must banish from our hearts every iota of resentment towards any

person or state of affairs. Only then are we filled with that sense of freedom that
enables that surging impulse of Spiritual energy to fill our Being as we free
ourselves through forgiveness. When you are no longer the central figure

in forgiving, when there is no longer you and the other, only then is there
freedom in forgiveness.
To measure up to the Divine standard, our forgiveness must be full

and complete and it is at this time that the wonder of a forgiving heart is
born on Christmas Day. To remember those words that fell from his lips,
“Father, forgive them for they know not what they do,” revealed the Love

of God.
With this comforting Presence of the Father, my Father, your Father
within me and you, we will never be depressed or cast down by any inhar-
monious situation that involves us or our loved ones. I turn to my Father,

your Father, and see that the Christ Spirit is born again in me and you. Thus
I am comforted by His love and you know that that Love is for you also.
Behold I am the Son of God. I am not subject to any weakness of

the mind or body for I know that my Father’s Life is my Life, His Love
my Love. Then I share His deep everlasting Love towards all. I set everyone
free by His Love as I free myself by his enduring Love.
God’s help is always at hand, He responds immediately you make a

place for Him, your receptive state permits the flow of His Wisdom and
Love to fill you to overflowing. You are no longer impeded or frustrated
by conditions for you have seen the Light of the World, that Light that

lighteth all who come into the world.
“Draw nigh to God and He shall exalt you,” says James. In the 9lst
Psalm we read these words: “I will set him on high because he hath known my

name.”
Exaltation is a state of Being we attain through true meditation, a
meditation that frees us from the self.
