The Pearl of Great Price (Matt. 13:45, 46)

The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a pearl of great price, for which a man will sell all that he has, that he may possess it. This, perhaps, best explains the way of the illumined. To them, the kingdom of heaven has meant everything, and has been above all else. We find them going away by themselves that they may more completely enjoy this inner realization of their relationship to the Whole. A divine companionship has ever attended such, on the pathway of human experience. The description of the things they have seen, felt and heard, constitutes some of the most valuable lessons the world has ever learned.

The only news we have of Heaven has come through the consciousness of men, and to those few who have penetrated the veil of illusion and entered the realms of deeper reality, we owe a debt that cannot be paid in any other terms than those of appreciation and thanksgiving. That the illumined have had experiences which the average man cannot conceive of, is certain; and that anyone who wills to know Truth may know it, is evident to all who make the attempt. But let us not forget that spiritual experiences are normal, natural and rational.

The illumined have always had rational intellects and well-balanced mentalities. No experience is salutary, unless it be gained while in a normal state of mind. Too great a warning cannot be given against any attempt to break through the veil, when in any other but a perfectly normal mental state. Jesus lived in the spiritual world just as normally as we live in the material, and just as consciously. And what is the spiritual world? And where is it? It is right here, could we but see it. Behind everything material, stands the spiritual, supporting it, and without which there could be no material.

When and What Is a Demonstration?

In the language of metaphysics, a “demonstration” is made when the thing is accomplished which the one treating desires to achieve … whether it be health, happiness, or abundance. A demonstration is a manifestation. It is prayer answered. When the word of a practitioner takes form, this is a demonstration. When desire is given a subjective mold and then becomes objectified in the life of the one for whom the practitioner is working, this is demonstration. The practitioner, of course, gives thanks as he makes his demand on the Infinite, knowing that supply and demand are one, and that his request is instantly manifest on the invisible plane. “Before they call, will I answer,” is the divine promise.

We cannot demonstrate beyond our ability to mentally embody an idea. The argument is between our experience, what the world believes, and what we are convinced is the Truth.

It should be understood that we can demonstrate in spite of ourselves—in spite of all weakness, in spite of all fear, in spite of all that is in us—because such is the power of Truth. We wait only for our own awakened thought. The Law is neither good nor bad. Law is and responds.

The possibility of demonstrating does not depend upon environment, condition, location, personality or opportunity. It depends solely upon our belief and our acceptance, and our willingness to comply with the Law through which all good comes. The Universe will never deny us anything, unless we conceive that it is possible for us to think of something that is impossible for the Universe to produce! Everyone who asks receives, according to his belief.

The whole aim of the study of Science of Mind is to realize and consciously penetrate the upper atmosphere of our thought and bring down, as it were, into the lower mind greater visions of reality.”

“Effect follows cause as the night the day, and should we image forth an adequate concept of substance, we would be supplied with all human needs; could we sense perfect being we should experience perfect living; could we reach that serene contemplation of the soul which views all as an undivided part of the Great Self we should no longer be disturbed in our thought.”

Insight:
“Health, happiness and success are effects and not causes. Occult and esoteric practices are neither necessary nor beneficial in this work. Any state bordering on trance or hypnotism through self-suggestion is far removed from the field of reality where the consciousness should ever be aware, and still more aware of itself and its unity with the Whole.”

“All of us seek some relationship to the Universal Mind, the Oversoul or the Eternal Spirit which we call God.”

“That we are living in a spiritual universe which includes the material or physical universe has been a conclusion of the deepest thinkers of every age. That this spiritual universe must be one of pure intelligence and perfect life, dominated by love, by reason and by the power to create, seems an inevitable conclusion.

We all wish to feel that the power behind everything is good as well as creative, an eternal and changeless Intelligence in which we live, move and have our being. Intuitively we sense that each of us, in our native state, is some part or manifestation of this eternal Principle, and that the entire problem of limitation, evil, suffering and uncertainty is not God-ordained, but is the result of ignorance. It has been written that the Truth shall make us free, provided we know the Truth, and we note that the evolution of humanity’s consciousness brings with it the acquisition of new powers and higher possibilities.

Nature seems to await our comprehension of her, and, since she is governed by immutable laws, the ignorance of which excuses no person from their effects, the bandages of humanity must be a result of our ignorance of the true nature of Reality. But some people will say: ‘If the power behind everything is good, why does it admit of even the possibility of evil and limitation?’”

Insight:
“The only answer to this question is that we are each individuals left alone to discover ourselves, creatures of volition, intelligence and will, fused into personality for the purpose of producing a real entity–an actual, conscious being”
