CONCEPTION

MARY, THE VIRGINAL MIND, was over-shadowed by the Spirit, - and she conceived and brought forth Jesus. This mighty illustration is the key to ALL manifestation.

You are overshadowed by the Spirit, - the urge of God to find a Temple or a point of expression. Every desire that comes to you is that urge attempting to come into being-and all desires are good when properly interpreted.

But when the idea is passed through the thick veils of human belief it is still-born at best. The human mind places its interpretation upon the desire and in its effort to bring it to pass, descends to any level to accomplish it. Thus a bank robber's original idea to possess the substance of life is as good as yours, but his interpretation is wrong. To him, the only means of expressing that desire is to rob a bank, and the law ensues. You may be so defeated by the human belief that your idea cannot possibly take form, - and then you are sent into the wilderness of despair.

On the clear, placid surface of the waters the NEW image is formed. When the consciousness recognizes its heritage and releases all its preconceived nothings of the how, the why, the when and the where, then this wonderful over-shadowing takes place.

Mary, the Virginal Mind, could not by any means understand how she was to bring forth a child without the offices of man, - and neither can you understand how the desires of your heart can come into being.

There are helps given you, and one of them is that "Mary pondered these things in her heart". She kept the secret and contemplated the Power of the Almighty with its ways which are past finding out. And when you do likewise, the thing will take place, - the conception.

From the instant of conception, the new idea draws its embodiment unto itself. This does not have to come under the prescribed human laws of time and space. It can "look again" and see the fields are white, - in spite of all the findings of man who says it is yet four months to the harvest. The extension of the sight enables the awakened soul to see the finished product before it is visible to the eye, - just as this book is already complete while it is being written. The John Smith then lends itself as the temple through which the manifestation will come. The mechanics of the birth processes will take care of themselves.

Jesus always started with the idea that "it is consummated" before He asked. So sure was He of this fourth dimensional Power, He even thanked God for the completed and perfect manifestation before it was visible. He rested His case with the statement, "I know this is done", - making a concession to the human thought of His listeners who thought something had to be done, in the form of verbal prayer. Your affirmation, as was His, should be a statement of a finished thing, and not a process of endeavoring to create a thing. He made the affirmation because He knew the thing was already formed in the Mind of God, but awaited the recognition and acceptance of Jesus (John Smith). The moment this recognition took place, the manifestation came into being.

The teachings of Jesus were by parable-but parables which were manifested in tangible flesh-and blood. All other teachers "talked" of heaven to come. Jesus showed forth the WORDS He spoke and delivered the manifestations to the earth.

When the masculine knowing and the feminine feeling and receptivity come together, conception takes place. The secret is protected from the vagaries of human beliefs which would "laugh you to scorn", - but what can they do who see the manifestation, but fall down and worship God?

What can you do but surrender all the foolishness of human thought when you come into the Presence of God? What do you imagine you can do to change the Mind of God? Where did you get the desire you have for a NEW manifestation? Did it come out of thin air? If desire is not God pressing upon the diaphragm of your mind for greater expression, then from whence does it come and why? And if a particular desire were not peculiar to you, why would not every man have the same?

No two men having a given desire will bring out an identical manifestation. If you desired substance, the measure you bring forth would be different from the measure of every other man who desired the same thing. Each one brings out the degree they are able at that time to accept. What is wealth to one might be poverty to another, - and yet it is all one substance. No limitation is put on the measure except the degree of acceptance.

"In my Father's house are many mansions",many stages and states of manifestation. As soon as you have finished with one "mansion", you enlarge the borders of your tent and move on to another. The degree of acceptance is wholly up to you and it is not determined by your human desires, - but by your ability to accept this wonderful revelation of Christ Jesus.

"Who did hinder you, that you should not obey the Truth?" You have blamed everything from birth on to the people and conditions about you, - and will continue to do this until you discover that YOU hindered yourself. No one holds you back, - no one stops the flow of Light through your body-temple. At first this is not easy to accept. It is bitter to the taste, - but sweet to the digestion. As a good surgeon cuts deep with the first incision instead of cutting away the difficulty bit by bit, so you rid yourself of the hateful habit of blaming everything in the world for your present plight.

As you stand today, you are the sum-total of your consciousness of God. If you do not have sufficient manifestation of Life, you can do nothing about it on the outside. It MUST be done from within.

The NEW idea must and will be born when the NEW conception takes place, - when you have recognized the urge within you as God coming into expression through your temple-body. The moment this takes place, the temple is filled with LIGHT and carries out the inner instructions. If it is told to "go into a City", a NEW state of consciousness, and "there meet a man who will lead it to the banquet room", it is ready to go or to do, without question. For instance, when the book, or the picture, is conceived in the invisible, it must and will pass through the temple-body through which the mechanics must be performed.

All of this is in the deepest secrecy. "Tell no man" must be brought to us again and again, - else the Herod comes forth and attempts to destroy the idea before it is able to stand alone.

The human mind in its darkened temple believes little actual good of itself and less about you. It is a "liar and the father of it" because of the terrible fear from the acceptance of the false law that it was "born of woman, few of days and full of trouble".

The Spirit is like the "wind that listeth where it bloweth and no man (not ANY man, - teacher, priest or holy man) knoweth whither it cometh or whither it goeth". Yet the human mind will attempt to plan a way for expression of God. He will think so hard and search far and wide for a solution or a possible "wind-fall" that"might change his life pattern. But not until he enters within, - into the Virginal Mind, - will he be able to feel the overshadowing of the Spirit and know that the conception of the idea has taken place. And this 'click' or conception will be so precious that the secret will be guarded. It is the pearl of great price, which when a man finds, he sells all, he releases every former notion, - and buries this NEW LIGHT in a field, a consciousness which is Virginal and which knows that "All things are possible with God".

The understanding of the human mind concerning creation is so limited that it positively cannot accept the Word of Jesus of itself, and the "miracle" of manifestation can take place all about, but it would not be able to see or understand. "Here am I in the midst of you". The disciples saw Jesus in His resurrected state for but a few moments because they could not sustain that state of consciousness.

Conception takes place through agreement. "When two shall agree as touching any one thing,

it shall be established on the earth."

Any wonder, then, that you are commanded to "be still and know that I AM God"? When the jabbering human mind becomes quiet, then the Voice moves upon the face of the deep and out of this comes the dry land. Always the impossible, as the Immaculate Conception indicates ! Dry land coming out of wet water is enough to set the old human reasoning off at a tangent which will prove to itself the utter impossibility of such a thing taking place.

"I shall STAND upon my WATCH and SEE what the Spirit has to say unto me."

Yes, you will cease the old begging and beseeching a tribal Jehovah and "be still upon your bed", - and then the blessed annunciation will be made unto you, - "A child is to be born", - a NEW and WONDERFUL, idea is to be set~upon the earth through you. It does not depend upon outward conditions. Sarah was ninety when the annunciation was made that she was to bring forth a child, - which caused Abraham to laugh long and loud. He positively knew it was impossible !

So the healing that you seek, - the old Abraham thought knows it is impossible, - that it just couldn't take place, - and yet the annunciation is made to you. Can you accept it? Will you go within and magnify the Lord instead of spending time in human thought and appearances trying to understand how such a thing could or would take place?

What you accept comes to abide with you, - good, bad or indifferent. Likewise, what you reject is passed on into the oblivion of the race consciousness. The decision is with you.

Everything works from within out. It is always in the SECRET place, the HIDDEN place that the idea is conceived. Be still, then, and KNOW (do not try to know) that I AM God. My Ways are not your ways, for My Ways are as high above yours as the heavens are above the earth, - they are past finding out. That blessed event which takes place within you and brings to you a new and more wonderful idea of Christmas than ever before, is sacred and must be a secret thing until "the child is born".

Draw close unto ME and I will draw nigh unto thee. See the naturalness of the omni-activity of Spirit in and through you. "Be not afraid, - it is I" no matter what old temples are torn down or set aside.
