You only have to sit back and know the truth.

The most powerful word in the vocabulary of prayer is the verb "is": Harmony is; God is; joy is; peace is; abundance is; Omnipresence is. In the presence of Omnipresence, is there anything to be healed, changed, reformed, overcome, or destroyed?

You look at every appearance, but you do not permit yourself to become disturbed by any one of them. Your eyes may bear witness to somebody's illness, poverty, or sinfulness, but Spirit tells you, "No, this is God made manifest. This is the very incarnation of God; therefore, harmony is true, regardless of what my eyes see or my ears hear." Joel Goldsmith THE ART OF SPIRITUAL HEALING

 

I take great pleasure in reading the Bible and meditating on the goodness of God, feeling that I am worthy to be his servant. PP QUIMBY December 1861

 

Now, there would be no use of starting your program with trying to wipe material sense out of Mr. K’s mind, or Mr. A-B-C’s mind, or D-E-F-G-H. The thing to do is not handle it as if it were something outside or even something that had existence, but handle it as you would the water on the desert road, once you’ve recognized that it isn’t water but mirage. That’s where you begin to smile inwardly at the appearance, because now you do not judge by appearances. You judge righteous judgment. Now, you sit back in your car and look at that water on the road, and you smile, and you get into gear and start riding. “Thank you, Father. Water isn’t water. It’s mirage.” At least water on the desert isn’t water. It’s mirage. Disease isn’t disease. It’s mirage. It’s a belief in two powers. Sin isn’t sin. It’s a mirage. It’s a belief in two powers. Mad ambition, national and international lust and greed, these aren’t powers. Uh-uh. No, these are the carnal mind, human consciousness, or a belief in two powers; and you only have to sit back and know the truth.

What we do.

A simple, yet eloquent piano piece.

 

There is a simple test by which you can tell a true teacher from a false one.

It is this: If they point you to their own personality; if they make special claims for themselves; if they say that they have received any special privileges from God that are not equally accessible to the whole human race anywhere; if they attempt in their own name or in that of an organization to establish under any pretense a monopoly of the truth about God, then, however imposing their credentials, however pleasing their personality may be, they are a false teacher, and you had better have nothing to do with them.

If, on the contrary, they tell you to look away from themselves, to seek the Presence of God in your own heart, and to use books, lectures, and churches only as a means to that one end, then, however humble their efforts may be, however lacking their own demonstration may seem, they are nevertheless a true teacher and are giving you the Bread of Life.
