God alone lives. But we cannot realize this feeling until we discern the falseness that
surrounds us, and in which we are submerged. Rebelling against conditions
does not remove them, we must know them for what they are and understand

the cause, and as these causes are discerned and dissolved the true shall appear
because it is always there, only hidden by our beliefs of that which is false.
We do not disagree over the fact that we are alive, that we are human
beings, we only disagree over our beliefs. We never disagree over that which is

true we only disagree on that which is false, and when we look into the matter
deeply enough, we will see how true it is.
With reference to disease most people cling to the name of a disease giving it

an identity; by giving it an identity we are merely accepting another’s opinion
or belief, and we will observe that this is not thinking nor understanding.
The happiness of mankind is not increased by opinions founded upon

ignorance and beliefs in theories of those who cannot heal the sick or relieve
the troubled mind which is caught up in the net of emotion, imitation and
craving. The sick in mind and body are cured by giving them the Bread of

Life. Jesus says, “Man is himself the field, his deeds are seeds and what he
does to others grows apace. The harvest is sure and he must reap what he has
sown.” “The fruit of peace and love can never spring from noxious weeds,
the fruit is like the seed.” “Each one has problems to be solved, he must

solve them for himself.”
The individual begins to solve his problems when he begins to think.
When we begin to discern our beliefs, thought, emotions, reactions that hinder

the expression of the “Presence,” then the Presence begins to flood the
consciousness.
Through the neurons of the brain, through the nervous system, through
the whole cell structure of the body the presence makes Itself felt. But if our mind is

caught up in greed, craving, names of diseases, caught up in beliefs, hell, the
devil and good and evil, we are sowing the seeds of our own misery.
We are instructed not to eat of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good

and Evil but to take hold of the Tree of Life and this shall be our salvation.
The only value criticism has is when it is directed towards the self,
thus we are better able to see how to help others. “How can you see the splinter

in your brother’s eye when you have chunks within your own.” “And while
your eyes are full of foreign things you cannot see the way for you are blind.”
If you would lead the way to God you must be clear in sight as well as pure in

heart.
