Matter moves aside for indestructible free grace to act, when by upward viewing we shout, “Facing Thee, there is no matter with its laws.”
It is downward gazing to describe a child’s bad temper or a friend’s unkindness.
Facing Thee, there is no evil on my pathway; There is no matter with its laws; There is no loss, no lack, no deprivation; There is nothing to fear for there shall be no power to hurt; There is neither sin, nor sickness, nor death. Because Thou Art The Unconditioned and The Absolute, I also am Unconditioned and Absolute. Because Thou Art Omnipotent Free Spirit, I also am Omnipotent Free Spirit.
One shall be the embodiment of Truth so inspiringly that he shall cure the world mind of its earth-drowse.
“Faith is the confidence of things hoped for.”
“The revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, but now is made manifest, according to the commandment of the everlasting God — for the obedience of faith.” ~ Romans 16: 25, 26.
Isaiah understood that we must practice commanding the Supreme Presence in the Universe.
Faith without works does not exist. Faith always works. It stirs boldness, confidence, to dare the seemingly impossible.
Authority with God discloses authority with the Self. The divine Self, the esse, lies quiescent, still, waiting in all men to be stirred into action by the outer self. Two kinds of address stir the still esse to action, viz., command and praise.
And John saw that the man of Soul showed men how to put their consciousness of flesh limitation and common sensations of pain and pleasure into trance, or sleep, for the sense of God’s presence to be most real.
The Hindus have taught that we must animate the particular from the universal. The “Particular” is the man or object. There is a root of strength and vitality about everybody and everything that the right speech with the right tonic in it would animate into astonishing virility. Even an apparently dead tree is reachable by one with this mystery of vitalizing tone in his secret speech.
In mine integrity within me, where I see as God and know as God, I know you, John Child, as free Spirit. I know you as alive with life that death cannot touch. I know you as strong with Omnipotence, whole and complete as Son of God, wise to know yourself as unhurt by matter or mind. Show yourself to all the world as I know you at my integrity point. Acknowledge with boldness and confidence that you are free, strong, glad Spirit, without pain or disease.
To see for three seconds a thing in its completeness, as it truly is, is to find the thing acting of its own weight to exhibit itself to everybody as complete.
“Pray as if ye had received ~ believe that ye receive,” said Jesus (Mark 11). “Ask what ye will,” he said (John 15).
Beauty is another word for judgment. Beauty is poise, balance, as judgment is balance.
It is the highest state of ministry possible when without thinking anything or trying in any way to help our neighbors we are yet their health and their joy.
