is good and, further, that the life
within himself is connected
with it, and that he is part of that
great Iorce, then he ought to be able
to recognize that that one energy is
ever unfolding all who place them
selves in condition to receive, and
all who are desirous of making the
life they are living what it may be,
under that supreme guidance Of
which they themselves are a part.
The infinite force spreads its
wealth of supply before those who
with eye single have received and ac-
Cepted the heritage awaiting and
rendered to them. 1t is possible, I
presume, for one to enter even as an
invited guest to large feast and half
question his right to partake. There
he may find tables loaded with what
would delight his appetite. Until he
approaches the table and accepts the
feast offered it only has a sugges-
tive interest to him. If within the in
finite there is all power, and we are
one with that infinite, then We have
only to ask and put ourselves into
condition to receive, in order that
the fayors desired may be secured
The infinite spreads the mental feast
that will rejoice the understanding;
but. in order that it may be received
in completeness one must never con
jure up any imaginary gods about
the grand table so happily spread
that may punish if one partakes.
Primarily, | have undertaken here
in to place before the student the
necessity of having his eye single,
in order that he may receive all
that the finite can give him. hi
the mental realm We rear barriers
through fear of forces which do not
exist. When these barriers are rear
ed the channel is closed, in part,
between the infinite energy of the
universe and the individual. In all
of the teachings of Jesus it is
shown that man must put himself
in condition to receive, or he can.
not receive The great barrier be.
tween man and his God is fear,
which by our ancient philosophers
was created into an entity, and with
that entity man was presumed to
battle until he overcame it before
his good could come to him. Now,
in this advanced age, man may
receive clearer conception of the
force or energy that fills the uni
verse and bears him forward to ac-
compIishment.
The Infinite speaks through desire
and hope. often picturing their ac-
complishment in dreams. This is the
method of the fatherhood to reach
objective consciousness. If the re-
,ipient regards these suggestions from
the Infinite as passing fancies-as
day dreams OF which poets have
it is clear that he has |
not risen to conception of what |.
man is and what man may be. 1t T.
