Give Your Best To The World

To abide in the Christ is to actually live in the Christ consciousness, and every part of mind and soul is permeated, through and through, with the life and the power of the Christ. Your entire being is in the hands of higher power; you are in a world where things are absolutely mastered by the spiritual will, and your mind is so spiritualized that it responds perfectly to the power of divine will. The Pathway of Roses by Christian D. Larson

THE HEALING CONSCIOUSNESS

We desire not merely to know that such a faith is possible, but to have the faith. It will, I feel sure, be an inspiration to my readers to know that it is possible to use the law of mind not only to secure what we desire, but also to develop the faith by which we speak the word that heals. How many of us have shared the experience of the father who said to the Master Healer,

"If thou canst do anything, have compassion on us and help us."

"If thou canst!"

echoes the astonished Healer.

"Why, all things are possible to him that believeth!"

"Yes,"

thinks the despairing father,

"to him that believes, but how shall I get this faith?"

Then he cries out,

"Lord, I believe ; help thou mine unbelief. ''

What he really meant was what you and I mean,

"I know it is possible. Help me to know it will be done."

It is to show how faith can be acquired by the same law as health itself that this book has been written. In it, I have told as simply as possible the law of the healing consciousness, showing it to be in perfect harmony with true knowledge and the science of nature and of mind ; showing how results are secured by simply knowing the truth or the law, and how we may use the same law to demonstrate faith itself. It comes out of my own heart and experience, and if it enters helpfully into yours, I shall be glad.

What we are all after is not intellectual persuasion but spiritual realization.

"If any man lack wisdom, let him ask of God who giveth to all men freely and upbraideth not."

(It should be noted that, in this book, "consciousness" is used in two ways. First it means the knower or personal self ; and second, it means that self in the act of knowing or being aware of anything. Healing consciousness, for example, would be knowing health. Says Calkins in "Persistent Problems of Philosophy," page 407, "Consciousness, the personal idealist insists, is a conscious self or person, that is, a unique 'real' which is conscious and which may be regarded as including ideas, but which is more permanent than ideas are, and independent of them. . . . With Descartes, Berkeley, Leibniz, and Kant, Fichte, and Hegel, Lotze and Renouvier, Bergson and Eucken, Howison, Ward, and Royce, and a great company of philosophers, the writer finds that consciousness is not mere ideas or series of ideas, but that it is the unique subject of ideas.")

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?

THERE is war for the warlike. There is peace for the peaceful. There is hope for the hopeful. There is faith for the faithful. There is plenty for the plentiful. There is happiness for the joyful. There is a song for the singer; there is love for the lover ; there is God for the worshiper. There is a sun for children of the day and a cloud for children of the night. For him who would be rich, there is riches ; and he who expects nothing shall equally be blessed by the law, for verily his faith shall have its reward. "He sends his sun and his rain upon the just and the unjust, the evil and the good.

Each of us makes his own sunrise and his own sunset. Each soars or crawls as his thought decrees. He takes the wings of the morning and mounts to Pleiades, or the feet of the mole and burrows in the earth. He walks uprightly fearing no man or meekly bends before every pretender to his throne. He goes forth with fear and meets his fate, or with courage and is hailed as conqueror. He laughs and the world laughs with him ; he weeps and all the world's in tears.

Life is a comedy to the optimist and a tragedy to the pessimist. No loving heart but finds its mate. No hostile heart but finds its enemy. No fear but finds its devil ; no faith but finds its God.

It is of the very nature of life and mind that every thought is matched by reality in two directions: it exists as an eternal possibility in the universal, or else we could not think it: it must come forth into form, for every thought expresses in its individual way. Clearness of thought, which is the image and persistency of the thought, which is faith, alone decree when and how completely it shall come. Every thought becomes a thing, but whether it is vital or still-born is governed by your faith.

This is the great inspiration of the new-old message of the Christ-conscious : you cannot conceive a desire but that it is matched by reality. The inventor who fashions an instrument never before seen, the sculptor who chisels a form never before conceived, are merely bringing into expression ideas that lie latent in the Mind of the Infinite. You cannot want anything but God wants it for you : you cannot expect anything but that that thing can and will come to you, IF YOU EXPECT IT ENOUGH.

What do you want! What do you expect? These are the decisive factors in the living of your life. Behind you lie the broken things of yesterday. Forget them. Before you is dawn and the day. What shall come forth out of the unrolled parchment of the future * It is for you to decide. You hold tomorrow in the hollow of your hand. God is on your side. Life is on your side. Eternity is on your side ; Life never ends. All things are possible to him that believes. "Only have faith; and thy faith shall save thee." Believe, believe! EXPECT, EXPECT!!

Numerology is nothing less than a tool which aids us towards psychological self awareness.

A little remembered music teacher, living in Atlanta City, came to some startling conclusions. In her studies of harmony, Mrs L. Dow Balliett came to realize that the letter name applied to each note had the same vibratory qualities as the note itself. It was this simple observation, she later claimed, which led to her interest in the application of numerical science. The handful of books which she published on the subject essentially defined the modern method of relating names and numbers to acquire insight to the character and personality of the individual. It should be well noted, that no such system existed before the time of Mrs L. Dow Balliet. Any individual, or organization, claiming otherwise is at best misinformed, and at worst deliberately misleading. Around the turn of the century (from 1800 to 1900 A.D.) Mrs. L. Dow Balliett combined Pythagoras' work with Biblical reference.[1]
Her ideas could easily have been quickly forgotten, but for the efforts of one of her students.
