THE SANCTUARY OF THE SILENT HEALING POWER

We must wipe away everything that hinders, by discerning everything
that hides the glorious Presence that dwells in every soul.
I am repeating these words of the Master to show that he did not

merely give us a theory, but made it exceeding plain that we must see that
which is false, so as to clear the sight to see the way. Another statement which
throws light on the path is, “The treasures of Earth are but illusive things and
pass away.” “Be not deceived! Your treasures are the anchor of the soul and

where your treasures are so your heart will be.” “Things that man see not
with eyes of flesh, are of more worth than the things that man can see.”
Most of us are full of defects and it is necessary to discern them and

not merely deny them, for this does not help matters. To shrug our shoulders or
cringe at the sight of our thoughts is of no value. What is needed is to be quiet
and more quiet, to look at these things as something, not your real self, for the

real self is the presence of the presence and to abide in its quiet confidence
is Divine Power.
If the soul asks for the Divine and our minds are sincere and calls for

liberation from these influences, by calling the presence into the heart and
relying upon it more and more than our own strength we will be able to end
this “siege” and peace would take its place. We will break down the prison
bars that hold us in the prison of our own making.

The material world less the revelation of the Creative power manifested
thorough the mind. Visible things are the representation of the invisible. If we
can comprehend this truth we can rise above the effects we see around us, and

by understanding them we will no Longer be afraid of them. We will discern
the false, then we will know the true.
We are made in the image and likeness of God living in a material
world over which we have been given dominion. A world so constituted that if

we will use it intelligently, it will lift us to spiritual heights yet unknown. With
this knowledge our experiences in this world will lift us to the mountain tops of
achievement. If we feel a sense of frustration when we neglect to use wisdom,

worrying about the matter will not help. We will know how to deal with our
troubles through the discerning of our own thoughts, cravings and emotions.
The realization of truth lies in our self-conscious completeness sustained

in our own uprightness, free from all conformity, public opinion, tradition,
nationality or creed. Through the self-conscious completeness we arrive at full
responsibility, in the recognition of this completeness, and this completeness is

true freedom.
