Take the dare and converse with God.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 124

Create the atmosphere of achievement in creative expectancy.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 125

You acquire a strength which will not fail, through the use of your daily companionship with the One who walks with you, whose strength you use, whose power is yours for the asking, whose mightiness is illumination and whose gentleness can make you great.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 126

In your outer life translate humble things into divine things.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 127

So peace be unto your hearts and great stillness and calm. Seek this creative peace within; here there is no struggle. Here are beauty and truth and protection and joy in abundance. Here is order, and here, locked away, is the divine plan. When you dissolve and become still, holy (wholly?) in that oneness with the infinite holiness, the divine plan comes to pass and you are free. You are challenged out there; in here the challenge is defeated. Seek and worship the Creator.

You are a distinct portion of the essence of the Creator; and contain part of the Creator in yourself. Epictetus, A.D. 50
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 128

There is nothing wrong with the human race except destructive emotions
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 128

When you close your eyes and turn to the silence of the divine darkness you will have a sense of spaciousness without boundary, the timelessness of the joyous instant and the light of a new day.

“Meditation is the clarifier of a beclouded mind.” The Tibetan Doctrine
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 129

The thing expected of you, through your final realization of all that has been told to you, is to use your imagination so that you will not allow any separation from the Spirit by withdrawing into forgetfulness…. That does not mean that you are to think of nothing else – it is an attitude of mind. Bring everything to the high quality of spirit. Do not take thoughts and problems down into the gloom of materialism nor of negative and despairing solutions.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 129

If you say, “I have no life except with the spirit within me”, you wear the garment (spirit) through the sordid traffic of the world. And if it is unseen that does not matter to you.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 130
You can cleanse the body and cleanse the mind by the bright discipline of entertaining light (where “entertaining” means to “hold present”).
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 131

Within this center of infinite quiet and peace lies resolution to action that is born of love and wisdom. Whenever challenged by the horrors or irritations of human living, you know that through the mind you can touch all that is august, deathless beauty and immortality.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 134

What do you desire above all, above all? Perfect peace of mind, integrity, order, the victory of goodness, honor, joy and eternal love, free from human sentimentality and emotionalism; the high clean impersonal rightness. Well all these are for your asking, not praying, for your accepting and realizing and wanting.

Go your way, step by step. Now is the appointed time to do your part; and your part, as you well know, cannot be done with righteous and breathless rectitude, but by being receptive so that you can be used as a channel, which is part of being a temple of the Spirit. It is the antithesis of noise and dubious fame; be the silent ones, anointed with rod and staff and the scallop shell of quiet and the promise of truth.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 134

Many people would be impatient if you should tell them that creative action, action based upon spiritual premises, is born in complete stillness, the stillness the inventor and scientist know in the laboratory. Not necessarily the stillness which is merely noiselessness alone but this intense quiet of drawing upon the source of inspiration.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 135

Those who go still further within themselves for the answer will find a timeless wisdom and inspiration to be translated into the human need of the moment. [Being still is “not movement, and, it is “still further” moving beyond the present progress.]
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 135

Do not belittle yourself, for this spiritual concept within you is deathless and all powerful, measureless. Therefore when you look through your eyes at immensities know that that which you hold within is more powerful.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 136

The ignorant are awed by show, the wise are awed by what is not seen, by thought. Hold the concept which encompasses more universes than you are yet aware of and through complete humility of self and your service of faith you will become as yeast in the sodden world of materialism. Though your personal lives seem constricted and humble, it dos not matter.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 136

This infinite power is only revealed by the denial of self in the true sense and the glorifying of the Light within.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 136

This spiritual concept within you is deathless and all powerful, measureless (beyond what is seen in all of nature). …. The wise are awed by what is not seen, by thought….. through the complete humility of self and your service of faith you will become as yeast in the sodden world of materialism. Though your personal lives seem constricted and humble it does not matter.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 136

This infinite power is only revealed by the denial of self in the true sense and the glorifying of the Light within.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 136

Use this indwelling spirit! The Creator moves in you now through limitless space. Cast off your mooring from the land of fear and doubt; leave the prisons of despair and melancholy and set sail on a guided journey where the stars are in their appointed places and the voyage is true and beautiful and safe.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 137

Be alert, industrious in the habit of being in His presence. All that is asked of you is to be gloriously happy. Because of your intent you are being filled with healing, vitalizing, sustaining truth and eternal love. You will astonish yourself and if you can see the simplicity of this – the victory is yours.

Watch your every response and thought and bring to yourself a day, even a fraction of a day, when you have kept His presence; for this is the good news of which the prophets spoke, this is what it is all about.
