Dissolve appearances

You have got to learn that whether it’s unemployment, or insanity, or cancer, or consumption, don’t treat those as conditions, treat them as appearances, or suggestions, and then let them hit up against your mind that is imbued with truth, and you’ll start to do healing work even before you are reborn. But your rebirth will come about more quickly, and the more you can hold to the truth, and let these appearances hit up against it without doing battle with them. Don’t you do battle with the appearances! You let the appearances hit up against your mind that is imbued with truth; the appearances will dissolve.

NATURE OF GOD
There is only one answer to the question, ‘What is God?’ and that answer is, ‘I AM.’ God is the mind and the life of the individual. Any mental hedging or inner reservation on this subject will result in ultimate failure. There is but one universal I whether it is being spoken by Jesus Christ or John Smith. When Jesus revealed, ‘He that seeth me seeth him that sent me,’ he was revealing a universal truth or principle. There must be no quibbling about this. You either understand this truth or you do not – and if you do not, there is no need for you to seek any further reason for failure to heal. The revelation of Jesus the Christ is clear. ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life.’ Unless you can accept this as a principle and therefore as the truth about you and about every individual, you have no foundation upon which to stand. The truth is that God is the mind and life of the individual. God is the only I.”
“Never forget that you cannot live scientifically as man or idea, but that you must realize yourself to be Life, Truth, and Love. You must accept Jesus’ revelation of the I AM until it becomes realization with you.”
“Consciousness lives Itself – you do not live It.”

The nature of God, the realization of prayer.

Anything that reveals a manifestation of God, anything that reveals the presence of God, even if a very tough challenge, a sin, disease, disappointment – anything that turns one to God – can be construed as an angel. Anything or anybody that leads us to the higher realization of God or prayer can be considered an angel.

Only when prayer or treatment is followed by the realization of God in the silence – where you realize the very presence of God, that God has taken over, like the click – that’s when the prayer or treatment is complete.

“IN THE BEGINNING was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. . . . And the Word was made flesh.” “The Word was made flesh” – but it still is the Word. By being made flesh it does not change its nature, character, or substance. Cause becomes visible as effect, but the essence or substance is still the Word, Spirit or Consciousness. In this wise, do we understand that there is not a spiritual universe and a material world, but rather that what appears as our world is the Word made flesh, Spirit made visible, or Consciousness expressed as idea. All the error that has existed down the ages is founded on the theory or belief of two worlds, one the heavenly kingdom, or spiritual life, and the other a material world or mortal existence, each separate from the other. In spite of this sense of two worlds, men have always attempted to bring harmony into the discords of human existence through an attempt, by prayer, to contact this other world, or spiritual realm, and to bring Spirit, or God, to act upon the so-called material existence. Let us begin with the understanding that our world is not an erroneous one, but rather that the universe in which we live is the realm of reality about which man entertains a false concept. The work of bringing health and harmony into our experience is not, then, getting rid of, or even changing, a mortal material universe, but correcting the finite concept of our existence.

When confronted with any human problem, instead of laboring for an improved human condition, turn from the picture and realize the presence of the divine Spirit in you. This Spirit dissolves the human seeming and reveals spiritual harmony, though to sight this harmony will appear as improved human health or wealth. When Jesus fed the multitude, it was his spiritual consciousness of abundance that appeared as loaves and fishes. When he healed the sick, it was his feeling of the divine Presence that appeared as health, strength, and harmony. This may all be summed up in Paul’s words: “Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.” We are living in a spiritual universe, but the finite sense has set a picture before us of limitation. While thought is on the picture before us – “this world” – we are engaged in the constant effort to improve or change it. As soon as we lift our vision – take thought off what we shall eat and drink and wear – we begin to behold spiritual reality which appears to us as improved beliefs, but which really is more-appearing of reality. This more-appearing reality brings with it joys untold here and now, pleasures beyond our wildest imagination and the love of all with whom we come in contact, even the love of those who do not know the source of the new life we have discovered. “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you.” “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God . . . Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth . . . But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”

THE TWO COVENANTS For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. . . . But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. GALATIANS 4:22–24, 26 In our humanhood, we are sons of the bondwoman, in subjection to the flesh and its claims, in bondage to the things, thoughts, and activities of the flesh, whether it be this flesh of the body or the flesh called money or other forms of human living. Living in and through the flesh as the offspring of the bondwoman, we are under the laws of matter, the laws of economics, and the laws of race, religion, and nationality—under the covenant “which gendereth to bondage.” The other covenant is that of our spiritual adoption, which comes through a conscious activity within our own consciousness and at a time when we are prepared for that transition, because the transition from humanhood to spiritual sonship is made only by Grace.
