Today most commercial
flying is done on a radio beam. A directional beam is produced to guide the
pilot to his destination, and as long as he keeps on this beam he knows that he
is safe, even if he cannot see around him for fog, or get his bearings in any
other way.
As soon as he gets off the beam in any direction he is in danger, and he immediately tries to get back on to the beam once more.
Those who believe in the All-ness of God, have a spiritual
beam upon which to navigate on the voyage of life. As long as you have peace of
mind and some sense of the Presence of God you are on the beam, and you are
safe, even if outer things seem to be confused or even very dark; but as soon
as you get off the beam you are in danger.
You are off the beam the moment you are angry or resentful
or jealous or frightened or depressed; and when such a condition arises you
should immediately get back on the beam by turning quietly to God in thought,
claiming His Presence, claiming that His Love and Intelligence are with you,
and that the promises in the Bible are true today.
If you do this you are back on the beam, even if outer
conditions and your own feelings do not change immediately. You are back on the
beam and you will reach port in safety.
Keep
on the beam and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
