Page 68 - THE SILENT HEALING POWER By DR. MURDO MACDONALD-BAYNE

JULY 1948

This is not an escape nor is it flight from conditions around us, but it
will lead to a gradual discontinuance of unconscious action through lack of
discernment which leads to misery.

When we act consciously understanding the law, this leads to pure
thought which leads to pure action. This understanding is the beginning of
true action which will expand our consciousness and practical knowledge of
our oneness with the creative source of all things—the Presence that is within

ourselves.
And as we acquire this knowledge through practice we will by
conscious use of the Creative Laws, have revealed to us a deeper significance

of our own creative power than the mere intrinsic value of material possessions;
they will represent to us the extent of our Spiritual understanding and ability to
co-operate with the Creator of all things.

Material is but a name we give to a substance of which we know very
little. But when we see that the material, the “visible” and the “invisible” are
one and the same thing, we will appreciate that the invisible is the cause and the

material or visible is the effect.
When we see that the visible is the result of the invisible, we will know
that in the invisible is the cause and that cause is thought-action, then we
are aware of the cause of misery. Then there is no longer any fear in regard to it

for we will know we are the creators of our own misery.
We will see with clear sight, freed from illusion, that we are one with the
Creator of the Universe; we will also see that it is impossible for us to be

otherwise. Then the presence that is Ever-present and Eternal in us will bring
forth, “that which is acceptable to God.” But if we fail to understand these
things we will create a series of causes and effects in which will become
enmeshed, caught in their net. And there can no escape until the truth which

we have had revealed to us fully dawn upon us. “God Himself has made it
plain—for ever since the world was created, His invisible Nature, His
Everlasting Power and Divine Being have been quite perceptible in what

He has made.”
