Claude
Fayette Bragdon (1866-1946) was a
first-generation modernist architect, as well as an illustrator, critic,
theorist and theater designer. A prolific and influential writer, Bragdon published more than
twenty books and hundreds of articles. He was nationally known for his
graphic art, his writing on the fourth dimension, his Song & Light
Festivals of 1915-1918, and his role in theater’s New Stagecraft. In 1922
he helped translate and publish P.D.
Ouspensky's Tertium
Organum, for which he also wrote an introduction
to the English translation.
A Primer of Higher Space
(the Fourth Dimension) [1913]
It is not wise to cling to those who have gone from the body.
Living with memories isn't fulfilling God's plan for your life. God is life, within you, eagerly seeking unity with other life, yearning to picture forth the health and joy and strength and usefulness that there is in all God life. God is love that must be converted into loving--loving things of the present, those about you, the thoughts and words and works that are adding to the wealth and peace and beauty of the world now.
So bless the past and the old friendships, and turn from them, knowing that they are not the vital issue now. All that another has meant to you has left its imprint upon your soul so that you profit by it daily. And this is all that is of value to you.

There is no peace except the peace of God,
And I am glad and thankful it is so.
It is never wise to try to force Truth upon anyone. Place your brother "lovingly in the hands of the Father," and know that his own indwelling Lord will take care of him until he is open and receptive to ideas of Truth.

Now while it is a virtue to be always ready to help others, we must be sure that we are truly helping them, and not hindering them by allowing them to continue in the unwise habits that have brought them to lack.

The greatest help is to be able to show others how they may help themselves and become self-supporting and resourceful.

Don't feel that you must open your hands and pass out everything that you have. Conservation is one of the rules of success. You must expect others to do their part. And everyone, no matter how many failures he has had, can do his part.

Instead of spending too much time in the silence, make practical use of what you have already gotten from study and from the silence. It is possible to waste strength and energy and substance in dwelling in that passive mental state sometimes called the silence, or in the personal effort to make certain thoughts go out and accomplish results that are not based on the divine order and plan of life. So when you turn to the secret place for silence, be sure that you get away from yourself, your old ideas and desires, and bring your mind into perfect harmony with Christ ideas. Work to bring those ideas to bear upon your thought centers, and then come forth to practice what you have seen with spiritual vision and declared for yourself.

Detachment is the key to meditation. That is, we must sever ourselves completely from all worldly beliefs and opinions, and focus silently upon our ideal state. It is the effortless-effort which causes us to flow towards that which we realize without conflict. Detachment does not mean that we give up what few earthly possessions we may have. It means that we must give up possessiveness in ourselves, or release the attachments that peculiarly limit us to a human viewpoint in all matters.
