Introduction
DEAR reader, if you were asked whose life you would most like yours to resemble, would you not say, Jesus of Nazareth's? But, perhaps, with the next breath, you would add, "I cannot follow His example, for he was so different. God gave him so much more than He has given me,"
Stop right here, dear reader, and take the words of the Elder Brother. See if he claimed more for himself than he did for you. "What I have done, you can do." "Follow me," he said; then, "Follow me," speaks today. "The words I speak, they are Spirit, they are LifeF'
Now, how to seek, to ask, to knock, to find those words for yourself — not the personal Jesus, but the Christ — Truth — which he found. He pointed you to the way, and, if you will do your part, it will not be long until you, too, can say, "I and the Father are one."
GOD'S CREATION
CHOOSE which you will serve; you cannot serve both. Jesus chose this, was thirty years unfolding. Then he said this is what all must unfold to, to know Truth, Life, God. Claim, claim until you know. One God, One Creator: and his creation is good.
Spirit is Life, Life contains body. You cannot put the greater inside the lesser. Which are your thoughts unfolding to?
Infinite — ISo Beginning — ISo End
Narrow is this way, and few there be that find it, for they have unfolded to the Finite for this world; they are bound in the men made creation. Here are the true I am's that will bring the Infinite to you, when you claim them:
I am born in the image and likeness of God.
I am Light. Ye are the light of the world.
I am Strength. Be strong and of good cheer.
I am Health. God is the health of all Nations.
I am kind. Do unto others as you would they should do to you.
I am the good Shepherd — Our good thought.
iiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiinMiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiMiniiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiii.-imiir
I am the sheep of His fold — The many good thoughts.
I am born to live. God is Life. I am His child.
I am Love. God is Love. Unchangeable, yesterday, today, forever the same.
Hold to these claims as you hold to twice two is four, and you will understand how Jesus unfolded. His body responded to these thoughts; the same as ours will if we go and do likewise.
I am the way, the Truth, the Life.
The I am is the real of us. Spirit, Life. God is Spirit, Life. JVe are His children .
Finite Men's Creation
Choose which you will serve; you cannot serve God and Mammon.
Heir to
Envy, Jealousy,
Malice, Backbiting,
Fornication,
Adultery,
Murder,
Sin, Sickness,
Death.
Dust thou art; to dust shalt thou return.
llllllllllillHIIIIIIIIinilllMIIIIIIMIIIIIIMIIMIIIIMMIilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllirMMIMIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIillllllillU
Nothingness, that is where this bondage will go. When we learn the true way. Life, Eternal Life.
Finite, a beginning and an end. This creation unfolds to a little life shut up in this body, and the body must die to let the life out to get back to God in another world, a far away Heaven.
Body responds to thought. Here are the I am's of this creation:
I am a sinner born in sin and iniquity.
I am sick. I am weak.
I am nervous. I am worried.
I am anxious. I am growing old.
I am angry. I am afraid.
I am born to die.
Oh! humanity claiming these I am's we are bound in them. The body responds to thought. From our childhood we have unfolded to these thoughts for this world, expecting death would take them away. What can death give? Nothing but a harvest of its kind; sin, sickness. Turn, why will you die? Learn the lesson of Infinite. God is the giver of life — claim it; claim it until you know it. Spirit contains body; we have claimed body contains Spirit. Stop and see if you are not unfolding to Finite for this world, expecting Infinite in the next.
If we follow the teachings of Jesus, he claimed Infinite here until he found God is Life. Life is iiiininiiiiiiniiiiniiiMiiiiMiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiMiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiii
unchangeable, yesterday, today, and forever. Life builds, not destroys. Death is the destroyer. Learn how to conquer the things that make death, the I am's above. The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
Chapter I. THE PROBLEM
DEAR reader, the true meaning of the words in this book must be found in thought. Now we will turn on the great searchlight. Go with me in thought into the past nineteen hundred years. The same sun was shining then that is shining today; the same principle holding that sun in its place as today. The distance of that sun from the earth is unchanged. There was the same thought then as today, —
How I wonder what you are!"
Oh, humanity! Stop wondering about the stars! "Awake, thou that sleepest!" Right within thyself is a greater problem to be solved!
But we are asleep; we must awaken to the lesson. How? Let us follow the footsteps of one dear brother who found. And today his words are true.
"What I have done, you can do."
Turn on the searchlight. What do you see? A manger. Enter. There lies a beautiful babe. It came into this world the same as the babes of today come, and, like the babes of today, it grew. When old enough, the child was sent to the synagogue to be taught the doctrines of men.
iiiiuiMiiiiiiinMiiiiiiitiriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiriiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
Many, many times, dear reader, we will flash back and forth the great searchlight, thought, upon the situations then arid now.
The little boy was taught that the Sabbath was from Friday eve to Saturday eve, and on that day he must try and shut out the thoughts and ways of the week and be filled with lessons for the Sabbath — doctrines how to make men for the Sabbath.
Turn the great light upon the words he found in his searchings: "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath."
How many times in our childhood we have wished it would jump from Saturday into Monday, and leave Sunday out! Why? Trying to make man for that day!
It was a warm climate, and that little boy loved to roam over the hillsides in his tiny bare feet, gathering wild flowers.
Flash the searchlight on the little boys of today, loving to do the same now as then!
Now, back to the hills of Palestine. Go with the child in his wanderings, climbing the hills picking the flowers. What sensation is that which comes over him? "How good to be here! What freedom!" Did he have that feeling while surrounded by those walls of the synagogue, being taught how to make man for the Sabbath?
Stop right here, dear reader. What was it came to you and me, while roaming through the forests, or in the fields? I know you have felt it many iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir
times, as you stood there alone — but no, not alone! You felt a something stir you within. You could not express it in words; you lived and felt it. We call it being near to nature, and nature near to us. Oh, dear reader, it is God!
Now, as that little boy had those feelings come over him, he said, "It is good! Why can't I have this gladness all the time?" Then, as he gazed around on the same world upon which you and I are looking today, he said: "It is good to be here!" He looked up at the same starry firmament which you and I behold, and these thoughts filled him: "I wonder what power holds those stars in their place?" He saw the beautiful flowers, and the trees, putting forth their offerings in buds, bloom and fruit, all working in harmony with some unseen power. Then, as he looked around at mankind, he exclaimed: "What a wonderful structure we are!
"Oh, why is it that all the rest of creation works in accord with some invisible power, but with mankind there is a discord, disease, death? Why is it? I believe there is a way, if we could only find it, by which we, too, could be in harmony with that power. Now, that shall be my life work, and I will search until I find that way. How shall I go about it? Where shall I go? How shall I find?"
Can you not hear the little boy asking questions, the same we have asked many, many times? We iiMtMiiiinuniiiiiiiiifiiiMiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
were given the same answers that were given to Jesus: "Child, don't try to find out anything for yourself. Go to Sunday school and church, and there they will teach you all about creation and God." Oh, hungry humanity! Did we find our answers there? Let us follow Jesus, and see if he found satisfaction.
We find him, at the age of twelve, seeking the way. He had asked his father why the teachers could not answer his questions so he could understand. His father told him there were wise men at Jerusalem who could explain everything, for they knew all about God and man. How the little boy longed to go to Jerusalem! The opportunity came. His parents were going to attend the feast of the Dassover — the outward observance, called religion. Oh, what were his thoughts?
Nov/ the time has come for him to stand face to face with the learned men and have his questions answered, and we are with him, standing before them, asking who made this beautiful world, and what is the power that keeps it in place. The wise men wonder, "Who can be the parents of this child, to let him grow up in such ignorance?" and answer him: "Why, child, God made this world!"
Then the question came from that little boy, as it comes from millions today: "Who is God?"
"Why, God is a spirit!"
niiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiuiiiiiiiiiriiMiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir
The same answer that is given today. And how many "wise men" are still teaching, "God knows all things — when you are good and when you are bad. He has an open book before Him, in which your name is written. All the good and all the bad you have done are written there, and the day is coming when you will be judged from that book!" Jesus answers: "I have searched through the history of the past, and have found those teachings; but I do not find the record of one who is satisfied with them." He then asks:
"Who is man?"
The same answer is given him that was given us in our childhood: "God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."
Again Jesus replies: "The same teachings they have in the old history! But where is the record of one being satisfied? Why do they look forward for one to find the Truth, the Christ, for the Messiah?"
Turn on the searchlight. Here come the parents, Joseph and Mary, very much like the parents of today, worried and anxious. Why? That little boy had been away three days and three nights. It was a long procession of humanity that had been faithful to the outward ceremonies, and the child was not missed at first. The parents thought he was with some relative, but when he did not
IIIIIIMIIIIIIIMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiri IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIMIIIIIMIIIIIIIIMIir
appear, they went in search of him, and found him in the temple. Now, see how they worried over the boy, Jesus! And what would public opinion today be, if that same little boy lived in our city? A disobedient, bad boy, to give his parents so much anxiety!
Oh, dear reader! Did his earthly parents understand that great lesson the little boy was longing to know and searching to find? which the parents, and you and I, must find and know, as he found it and knew it, — ^Who God is — who man is.
And in his teachings, after he had found, he brought forth these words: "Judge not!" for we judge from outward appearances. How many of us would have judged that little boy from the outward appearance? But, oh, the inward seeking and longing! Who, but the Father, knoweth that? Not the earthly, unless he has learned the lesson.
Now we will return to the little boy. We will take the mother's question: "Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? Thy father and I have sought thee, sorrowing."
Oh, dear reader, what a world of light will come to you later on, when you have followed his teachings. Theology teaches that Joseph was not his father. What were the mother's words? When the light comes to you from Jesus' teachings, it will show you whom he meant by Father, — Heavenly, not earthly.
iHiMiiiiiiMiiiiiiHiniiiiininiiMiiniiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiMHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Jesus answers his parents: "Wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?" And, oh, when we understand the true meaning of those words, we v/ill all be about the Father s business!
There was a longing to know something that the earthly parents could not explain. Have we, dear reader, been helped to find the Heavenly Father by the teaching of the earthly parents, — the opinions of men?
Turn on the searchlight and follow the little boy. Sorrowful, but not discouraged, he went home with his parents. See him, working at his father's tool bench with his hands, but working in his thoughts like this:
Chapter II. GOD'S RECORD
OH, where shall I go for help? How shall I satisfy that longing? Father, mother teachers in the synagogue — none could point the way that satisfied; and now the learned men have failed to do so. Where shall I turn now? I will keep on, for surely there is a way for mankind to express harmony like the rest of creation, for are we not wondeerfully made! Yet, the rest of creation is showing forth unseen power that mankind is not.
I will go back to the first chapter of the record, and find what the thoughts were about creation at that time, to see if I can get any help from that source. Now, here is where I find my first word lesson, in that first chapter of Genesis:
"God created man in His own image and likeness; both male and female created He them; gave them His blessing; gave them dominion over the whole world; pronounced His v/ork good."
Oh, here are new thoughts! Not a word of evil in this creation — all good. Oh, I wonder if I can find, if I hold on to these thoughts?
I will see what the word "God" means. Oh, it means Good! What does the word "man" mean? It means expression of life! Now, what does this mean?
IMIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIirillllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltllllllllllllllllllllllllllMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"God (Good) created man (expression of life) in His own image and likeness; gave them His blessing; gave them dominion over the whole world!" Both male and female he "gave" to alike! All Good! Not a thought of sin, sickness, or death, in that creation!
Oh, I Y^^ill hold on to those first words. I will think on those first words. I will live in those first words. >k * * * *
Now, I have v/orked away thirty years at the problem, but I have mastered, and, dear brethern, I come out to tell you the way can be found to live in harmony, showing forth like the rest of creation. And, oh, what else is there to find? Dominion! The highest of all God's creation we are, but how ignorant we are of our dominion!
Oh, humanity! Now I will come, and do what I can to point to you, to find for yourselves if the words I speak are not Spirit and Life.
Come unto me, all ye who are weary and heavy laden, and learn of me; for the yoke is easy, and the burden is light; and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Now, I say unto you. Come unto me, and learn, — not lean! I will be to you a teacher, a brother, a guide to point you to the Way. When you find the Way, you will find Truth; when you find Truth, you will find Life, — three in one!
Nov/, I found the words in the first chapter of history were true words. They opened the eyes iiiiiiii iiiiMi iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
and ears of the understanding. I claimed those words as true words. I entertained them until they brought forth fruit. By their fruits ye shall know them.
Chapter III. MEN'S RECORD
WiiiLL, dear brother, why is it that others have not found as you have?"
We know not how many millions have found, but they give no record. Now, the True Way is found in the words of the first chapter recorded.
But, you see that, after the first chapter, history records the mistakes, as well as the true answers. We are taught from the doctrines of men, founded on the second chapter. Now, are not these words more familiar to you than those in the first chapter? "Man is formed out of the dust of the ground; then God breathes into his nostrils the breath of life, and he becomes a living soul."
Yes, you were taught to claim those words in childhood, and as you grew, they began to bear fruit.
Oh, brethern! I realize the greater work you will do than I have done, because I began to work in childhood; but the results will be the same. In childhood, I began to work out from under those teachings, — to pioneer myself, — until I worked into the words of the creation in the first chapter. And you must do the same. You must work out your own salvation. I can tell you there is no other way under the shining sun whereby men can be saved. Learn of me. What I have done you can do.
Chapter IV. THE LESSON
OW, you see, a habit of a hundred years is harder to master than one of a few; but it can be done. Many times I will speak after the manner of men. Now in mathematics: The same principle is back of the problem in addition that is back of fractions, and a mistake in addition hides the way of mastering the problem in fractions. In that lesson in mathematics, you do not learn to take the greater problem to work at first, but first overcome the lesser, and then you can overcome the greater. You have been over that way, hence know I speak the truth about it. But suppose you were ignorant of the ways of mathematics, you could not understand the meaning of the words I speak concerning it. At one time you did not know twice two is four; but it was four, whether or not you were conscious of it. How did you become conscious of the truth of it? Was it not by claiming and claiming that it is, not has been or will be, but is? At first that thought was a stranger to you; but you entertained it — kept entertaining it; it came in and supped with you and, by and by, after you had entertained it just long enough, it came to abide with you; then you had "rest" in that thought. You are taught that such lessons are for this world; that they can and must be mastered right here, in this world, for nMMiitiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii(iiiii
there are those who have done the work ; thus you find, The Yoke is easy, and the burden is light.
Now, in this lesson, the Problem of Life, solved right here in this world : We have no record of one v/lio has accomplished the whole, but as a teacher, a guide, a brother, a Savior in this way only, to point you to the record of one who was tempted in all points like yourself, but found the way to master them, have I come, and only in that way can I be of any use to you. Take the words I speak unto you; hold on to them, as I have done, and I know what I have done you can do. But you must be faithful to the v/ords, and it will then not take you so long as it did me, if you will believe what I tell you. I had to pioneer to find the true words; they were hidden with false words. Now I know what the true words are, and I can give them right to you. They came from true thoughts: First in thought; then in word; then in deed! Now I know whereof I speak.
Knowledge of the only true creation will come to you from claiming these words: I AM created in the likeness and image of God. He gave me His blessing. He gave me dominion over the whole world.; it is the dominion of good.
Now, the "I AM" of you is Lift. Why? The Creator-Principle is Life Gave you His blessing. His blessing, life. Accept it. Thank Him for it. Gave you dominion over the ivhole world;
IIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllMIMIIIIMIItlllllllllltlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllMllllllllllillllllllllllllllllirillllllllllllllllllllllllllllill
pronounced His work good. And you are the work of His hands. Now, watch your thoughts. Stand porter at the door of your thoughts, until you are master of them. That is the key to the door of the "Kingdom of Heaven," and no one can unlock that door but yourself. That "door" is Understanding Knock, ask, seek, with the right thoughts, and the door will open to you. No one can walk for you. No one can eat for you. No- one can sleep for you. Now, do your own thinking. I did mine. No one could do it for me. But when I held on and mastered, what did I find? The ivay to walk, eat, sleep, and think, came from the Father, Life, Principle, God. He gave all the Good; I was the willing child, the obedient child, to accept, claim, use what He had given me.
And, now, I can say unto you; you can do the same. But you must first be willing to do the work. No one else can do our work for us. It is a perfect work. But you must understand this to know it. God, Father, is perfect. His work is perfect work. Be ye perfect as your Father is perfect!
Look for the perfect until you find it. Look for it within yourself. The kingdom of God is within you! Don't look for the perfect in me to follow. When I said, "Follow me," it was the words I was speaking which you were to follow, just as you followed your teachers' instructions in school.
iiiiiiiiiiiriiiiiniiiriHiiitiiiriiiiiMiiiiiiiiiMiMiiiitiniiiiiiiiiiHiiMiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiituiiiiiriiiiiiriiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiii;
"Give us of this understanding." I cannot. It is with you. God gave you all, as He did me. But I learned how to use what He gave. Now I can only tell you how to use what He has given you, if you are willing. I cannot make you. We must choose for ourselves.
Chapter V. The Charge
GOD gave His blesing. It is freely given; we must freely receive.
"Oh, don't you charge for the teachings?"
Yes. The only great charge, and the only charge you can pay. The '^charge^' is, Be Faithful to the ivords, I speak unto you, for they are Spirit, they are life!
Can anyone buy what he already has? Can anyone open another's understanding? No, never. But if one has learned the v/ay that opens understanding, he can point that way to another. But each one must do his ov/n walking in that way, for it is God's way — good v/ay. It came from God. He gave it to alL God is no respecter of persons. Whosoever asks, knocks, seeks, shall find!
I tell you I know this is Truth, for I have done the work. I can point you to where the mistakes arose; yei you cannot know it as Truth until the door of your understanding is opened. But, oh, my brother, I will do the best I can, by pointing you to the v/ay to open that door. If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Chapter VI. The Work
NOW, y/e will go back to your childhood. You were taught from this creation: "God formed man out of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living souL^'
Oh, my brethren, here is where all the mistakes have arisen. Now, you see, in that creation the first claim of man's creation is that he was formed out of th-s dust of the ground; then God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and he became a living soul. Giving the power to the dust, and giving it right along in that version of creation: "Dust thou art, and to dust shalt thou return."
You see, here they have body first, spirit — life — last. And all along the journey they claim body greater, and all the life, they claim, is shut up in that body. And from that creation comes forth its fruits — fear; and fear bringeth forth its fruits — thoughts of envy, jealousy, malice, backbiting, fornication, adultry, murder. Now, the fruits of thinking those thoughts are sin, sickness, death! You see there is a beginning and an end to that creation — birth and death — finite.
Such have been the teachings of your childhood, and you are showing forth the fruits of those lessons! You are taught that this body
IMIIIIMIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllltMIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIMIIIirillllllllllllirilllllllCIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIirillllllllllllltllinMtllMIIUIIMIMIIIIIl
is a wicked body, that there is no good thing in it; yet that all the life you have is shut up in it; and you are working heroically all the time to keep that life in that wicked body. The same teachings tell you that the only way for that life to get back to the Father is to give up that wicked body, to let the life go back to the Father (dust) whence it came. Dust thou are, to dust thou shalt return. Do those thoughts bring you happiness? Are you longing and wishing for that happy day to come? So glad to leave all that is here in this beautiful world? And are the teachers of those doctrines trying to do all they can to leave this v^^icked world?
To dust thou shalt return? Well, that Father does not give all, does He, if He takes it again? He is only a loaner, not a giver. Then, where do those teachings say the Father is? A long way off? Beyond the starry sky? "Up in heaven? No wonder the poor children are lost in the darkness, and groping around, with a Father like that, never coming near them, the only way for them to reach Him to die and go to Him — leave this wicked body; we can't take that, and it is all we have known.
Those same teachings told you that what you fed tJiat body upon gave it health, gave it strength, kept life in it; that you must watch the body, be a sentinel over that wicked body, for you could only have the life that was in it for awhile. You must give to the creator, dust, who made it his iniiiiiimiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniMiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiHiiiim^
part, and to the Creator, God, who made it. His part.
I tell you, it is a lie, and the father of it is a lie. You have divided the house, and it will fall. What God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. I find that God hath joined life and body.
The channel through which the understanding is opened to you, is soul or thought.
Oh, blind leaders of the blind! You shall all fall into a ditch. How can a brother tell a brother to cast the mote out of his eye, when he has a beam within his own?
Now, I tell you that mankind has been so long unfolding from those thoughts of creation, that that way has become very broad, and many go in thereat, but it leadeth to destruction. For the end of that thought is death; is not that destruction, decay? Oh, turn! Why will ye die?
Through that claim comes another false one — that Adam and Eve, as our first parents, gave us an inheritance of sin, and here they have been holding on to that thought and bringing forth fruit. And what is the fruit of sin?
I tell you that every seed bringeth forth of its kind, and every thought bringeth forth of its own kind. Oh, that is why I say unto you. Watch your thoughts. Your body, the lesser, responds to your thoughts, the greater. When thoughts are mastered, they show forth through the body; if iiiiniiMiiiiiiiiiiMiiinniiMMiiHMiMMiiiMiMniiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiii
unmastered, they show forth through the body. The body is the temple God gave us to show forth His works: First, in thought, then in word, then in deed. Now, to which is your body responding? You only have to give an account of the deeds done in your body, but, oh, my brethren, time will go on and on, until we show forth what the Heavenly Father gave us — ALL He had, the Perfect.
Be ye perfect, as the Father is perfect. Look for perfection, think perfection; claim perfection, just as you did "Twice two is four." He gave it to you. Will you accept?
Choose whom ye will serve of the two creations — the true or the false. You cannot serve two masters.
Chapter VII. The Unfolding
SEEK YE first the kingdom of God and all else will be added. Now, where were we taught to seek God's kingdom in the teachings of men? Not in this world, but in another. Now you see how their men-made creation has turned things wrong side out, the Father and His kingdom last. Oh, brethren, it is a mistake. Change your thoughts. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all else will be added."
