Walter C Lanyon

Little is known about Walter C(lemow) Lanyon, except that he was an Englishman born in the USA on Oct 27, 1887. He was educated in the USA, France and England, and served-as interpreter and foreign correspondent. He spent more than half of his life traveling all over the world, investigating and studying the various presentations of mystical truth.

God must be experienced - not demonstrated. You are told to "acquaint NOW thyself with HIM, and be at peace." Acquaint now thyself with that which is beyond the place of thought and problem, and be at peace "Thereby (all) good shall come unto thee." ALL is enough, isn't it? Be still and know.
He was the author of over forty books on Truth which have had a wide and continued circulation. He traveled and lectured all over the world.
When you come to the understanding that you are a changeless spiritual being in a changeless Kingdom of Heaven what seemed chaos before is now revelation, the re-birth brings the cracking of a shell of custom or race belief. The butterfly cutting through its cocoon, the dragon fly rising from the mud, these are the signs of the Kimgdom of Heaven within. Rejoice!
The simple manner in which Lanyon states the Truth enables the reader to grasp the Spiritual principles for themselves and put them into practice in their daily lives. Although he wrote from a Christian perspective, his books appeal to all seeking Spiritual Truth. He felt that the very simplicity of the Word was the point that baffled most Truth students.
"When I look at you I see this inner light in your breast. I have the gift, you know. I can see things. You have this inner light and seem to be holding it in. Why don't you let it out?" ~ spoken at a luncheon with Walter C. Lanyon
His writings are an excellent example of New Thought Christianity at its best. The aim of many of his teachings is to establish self-reliance; to bring to the attention of man the nature of his True Self which has been called the 'Christ consciousness'; and to cause him to see that by becoming one with this Power he is the Power in action. No more will he attempt to use this Power, once he understands that he is the Power."
"A new heaven and a new earth shall descend out of the clouds" (of your belief).

When we get over the idea of praying to a man god, we shall see that prayer is merely aligning ourselves with the Power of that which is due to appear in our lives. In like manner, affirmations in their truest sense do not and cannot change the eternal nature of the universe; they are the words which are uttered because of the urge of the thing pressing upon the individual for expression. Hence, instead of any more of the prodigality comes the Sonship that, instead of begging for life, partakes of life as his inheritance, and names his statement of this fact as an automatic result, just as one who is sitting in darkness will automatically exclaim "Oh, light!" when a sudden shaft of light pierces the gloom. It is not said with an idea of creating light, but as a full recognition of the existence of light at that place and time. The person standing in front of a mirror does not exist because of the reflection in the mirror, but vice versa. We have reversed the very processes of life, and have been working at them blindly and backwards. No wonder our results have been so meager and unhealthy. When the prayer is uttered out of a full heart, with a full recognition, you who read this page will take your good in this manner; your heart will almost burst with the fullness of this truth. Awareness of my presence and of all the things you have so long sought for.

Walter C. Lanyon has a way of looking into the bible that makes you say, I didn't know that was in there.

Do you go out to see a man with a reputation, or run after a book that is said to contain the key? When you realize that the I AM within you is the KEY to every person, place, and thing, you will begin to unlock the treasures of your own kingdom. You will then be able to release the hidden springs of inspiration in a book or within your soul, and see the new life fill everything. Stop the condemnation of your beautiful Self. "If ye deny Me [Christ within], I shall also deny you." In other words, if you find Me incapable of governing your life, then, no matter how you call upon Me, I shall not answer because of your "unbelief," because you do not honestly believe that it is possible for the Inner Lord to rule absolutely and harmoniously in your life.

So, then, is every man, for every man is born of the Spirit when he arises to recognize this.

"It is this screen of thought that creates the illusion of separateness, the illusion that there is you and a totally separate “other.” You then forget the essential fact that, underneath the level of physical appearances and separate forms, you are one with all that is." ~ Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now
