THE SANCTUARY OF THE SILENT HEALING POWER
Most people have a belief that matter is fundamental and the effects
which they see expressed are permanent. There is nothing permanent in nature,
there is a continual flux or change taking place; the only thing that seems
permanent is change, for the simple reason that nature is continually making
and remaking, tearing down and building up better and better forms, and all
this change has its origin in the inner world of which the outer is but the
reflection. So there is no use in denying the effects we see; we must find the
cause and that cause is within ourselves, in our own inner world and this leads
us to that great and significant truth, that whatever we identify ourselves with
determines what we shall be.
The greatest teacher in the world identified himself with the Father
of Love, the “Infinite Being” who alone exists, and there can be no other,—no
other power but His, no other Life but His, no other Intelligence but His,
in fact all must be Infinite for there can be no outside Him otherwise He could
not be Infinite. This leads us to seek within, for the truth of our own Being,
Jesus said the Kingdom of Heaven is within you and as we become more
acquainted with his scientific mind so we will realize that He is still the worlds
greatest leader in modern thought, for modern science and modern thinking
today reveal this fact, and we are finding out more and more that that he said
and demonstrated is actually true.
Man may for a time please himself but in the end he can only please God, as
the law relentlessly brings home to him, what he sows so shall he reap.
We play a part in the great scheme of creation according to the nature or
inclination of the Infinite creative principle, through the Divine thought operating
through mankind as a means of bringing about “thy will be done on earth
as it is done in heaven.”
Jesus was an international figure and his teaching is proof of this fact.
He made us beware, lest we be caught up in the net of race thought, nationalities,
creeds, politics, disease, ignorance and death. He showed that we must refuse
to identify ourselves with family, tradition, state or church for none is your
“Father which is in Heaven.” This alone can give us power over the things
of this world, and with the true vision of our Divine potentialities we are able to
move forward into a new world proving that we are really the sons and
daughters of God. “Know ye not that ye have the things before ye ask”
The great mass struggle that we see going on everywhere is the result of
the inner struggle of the individual. In the midst of amazing scientific
achievements we find ourselves in a world torn by craving for things of this
