HE THAT LOSES HIS LIFE
"He that loses his life shall find it" - in the Universal Whole. When you come to the place where you are willing to merge your personal understanding with the Universal, then you are beginning to experience the "feel" of what it is both to lose your life and find it. The mathematician has long ago lost his book but has found the Science of Numbers and has gone on and on, delving into its infinite depths. When you let go of the idea of a personal life apart from God, and cast yourself into the Infinite Life, you will find the freedom for which you have been seeking so long. When you accept the Presence as HERE and NOW, as an actuality instead of a theory, then and there and here and NOW you will begin to experience the great power within and without. Whereas before you were blind, NOW you can "see," and see that everything is all right, and why it is all right. The only thing that has ever been wrong has been your viewpoint. You have looked at Life as something divided instead of as a whole, hence you have tried to use the Power and found that it could not be cut to suit the human measures. The EVER-PRESENCE is impartial and impersonal. Remember this, and use It as freely and as naturally as you do the air and sunshine. The only time you seemingly notice the air is when it is difficult to breathe or when the supply seems to be getting low, otherwise you pay no attention to it. It has the greatest value in the world because it has no value. So with God - only we have strayed so long in the field of human belief that we have come to look upon HIM only at moments of so-called demonstration. Presently we shall find God - Good - more natural than evil, and will automatically accept Him as such. "If you will continue to be lost in My will, living according thereto, great will be your reward, as the living virtue goes forth from your body; the Father within you healing, blessing, and saving a hungering misled humanity. Wheresoever you go and whatsoever you do you will be a living message, a living Bible seen and read of men. The Truth in you will conquer and continue to conquer, and to captivate the hearts of the multitude. They will awaken to the Christ within themselves; to Life eternal and all the desirable attributes of God, for there is nothing more than God and nothing less than Christ." Formerly, man thought it impossible to make this connection with God. Now the hour has come. Launch out into the deep waters, and be not afraid, it is "I" the Spirit within you that speaks. "Cast your burdens on the Lord, and He will sustain thee." Your burden that you have carried so long - in the shape of a problem. That is the thing you are to "cast on the Lord," and bear away a blessing. "Heaven and earth are full of Thee." Everything is full of the Lord and His love. The former beliefs and things are fast passing away - "behold I make all things NEW" - and the NEW Heaven and NEW Earth will be the new order, and the new law which will govern all with perfection and peace. The government shall be upon His shoulders. It is Wonderful! So "claim your right, and press your claim." The pure Stream of Virtue that proceeds out of you - the Awakened One - is the Word spoken with authority and sincerity, and left to accomplish its glorious mission. "And it is done! Here and now, and if you will abide in Me and let My word abide in you, you will through constant praise and thanksgiving create such an atmosphere about you that your word, silent or spoken, will continue to bless and heal, and draw all joy, health, love, and life unto you." We are beginning to HEAR the Master say, "Go thou and do likewise." It is no more a much-longed-for state of consciousness which comes with years of study. It is a command that we are ready to fulfill the moment we rise to accept it as possible. Too much time and thought are given to "getting ready" to receive the Christ, instead of "rising" and going forth with the glorious command, "Go thou and do likewise." This command carries with it all the power necessary to "do likewise." The atmosphere of Love that the Christ Consciousness creates about you protects you from all the former fears and limitation, and opens a new way for you. Begin to accept the words of Jesus as if addressed personally to you, and act upon them, and you will suddenly find yourself going into the Inner Shrine and there tasting the joys of the New Day. Begin to accept the Word of Christ as a direct word to you, and you will begin to receive the promises as directly made to you, and their fulfillment shall be swift and sure. "I have blessed you! I have blessed you! I have blessed you! by the great Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omni-present Name and Nature of God. You are now the partaker; as it is written, 'As he is so are We in this present world.' My peace I give unto you, My peace I leave with you, let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 'Christ in you ... and Christ in me will give you the victory ... and from every adverse condition set you free.'" You have just read something that is said to you, yes, it is for no one else but you - you the reader. Can you accept it? Do you believe that you are at this instant BLESSED with a downpour of blessing that drowns out of your life every evil and adverse condition? Are you beginning to see that it is necessary for you to "take" your good out of the universe. And that, in order to do this, you have first to recognize that it is an actuality? All the promises of God are made to you. To you the promises are made, but they do not amount to anything until you accept them. Can you begin to see the joy in losing your life and finding it in the Universal Whole? The little joys of the human life are so fleeting, and then, all of sudden, we find them all in their true interpretation in the Christ Life. It is Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! "You are now a partaker in the Kingdom of Heaven as here and now." Sounds too good to be true; that is the way everything about God sounds to the human mind. The human mind cannot grasp Goodness as a never-ending stream of substance pouring into expression, because it has not the capacity to accept this. "Arise thou that sleepest, and Christ shall give thee LIGHT." LIGHT that is so full of substance it will reveal the tangible blessings unto you. "YOU ARE BLESSED." Do you hear? Just now, as you read, YOU ARE BLESSED. Blessed with the great consciousness that recognizes GOD as PRESENT. The joy of ARISING (from the former beliefs and mistakes) and GOING to your Father has come to you. No many how many mistakes you may have made - "ARISE" and accept the Glorious Truth - "thy iniquities are remembered no more." "As He is so are we in this present world." Do you glimpse the wonderful revelation that is given in this line? Not as HE IS GOING TO BE, but as HE IS. As the Christ IS, as the Perfect manifestation IS, here and now. Do you begin to see what the gift Christ brought two thousand years ago really is? It is something more than words, and yet it is only words until it is addressed to you personally. Until you see that these things have to do with you individually they are nothing but passages from the Bible. It is Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! As HE IS - do you hear? You had better look up "He" and see just what "HE" is. "As he is so are We in this PRESENT WORLD." Right NOW, right here, and glory be to God. It Is So. And So It Is. Hidden away in a frame of human belief, this precious Truth awaits the coming of the Master. It awaits the one who can sense the real from the unreal. You are THAT one - you are perceiving its truth NOW, and it is becoming manifest to you. The sick, aged and worn-out body is beginning to show signs of awakening in HIS LIKENESS. It is Wonderful! Do not hurry nor get excited. It is all done in the twinkling of an eye; "When the last trump shall sound" - when you have sounded the note of Recognition. And so the Recognition goes on. The Living Word becomes manifest. When you are speaking the word; when you are feeding the hungry, or healing the lame, then you are really in Heaven. "You are in Heaven, the Heavenly State of Consciousness, the Heavenly Jerusalem; in the spiritual state of Consciousness; teaching men on the material plane, in mortal consciousness that the kingdoms of the world have become the kingdoms of our Lord Jesus Christ." The day of teaching from the limited human consciousness is over. It is only a mental play that accomplishes nothing lasting, or worth while. When you have lost your life and found your life in Christ, you are teaching from the pure consciousness of Heaven, and this PURE WORD is interpreted to the human plane, and is heard and seen - "My word shall not return unto ME void." "Tarry awhile in Jerusalem" - the Four-Square symbolical city of Peace, where the Fourth Dimension Consciousness becomes a reality. "Be still, and know that I AM God," not that I am going to be God, but that I AM God - so tarry a while in Peace. It is so wonderful for you to sit quietly in the blessings that are descending all about you, HERE and NOW. "There is no ending to the blessings that are in the Storehouse for those who truly love the Lord, and will keep his Holy Word. New Mysteries are being revealed to the children of men every moment, and they are now ready to receive them, for they have become conscious of the Ever Presence of God right here in there very midst, manifested within and without. It is more than human tongue can tell, the Glories of His Righteousness and the Wonders of His Love; this mighty Holy Love that transcends all limitations and breaks down every thought of segregation, and other abominations that are not pleasing in the sight of God." All the things you have been seeking are yours when you accept the word as spoken to YOU - not to another. The storehouse holds all the unfulfilled promises of your life. Nothing has been lost - nothing can be lost, except the limitations of a personal life.
