Absolutely Yours

Many people wrote in to say how much they enjoyed the last post, The Burning Bush, which was an excerpt written by Marie Watts. While reading the post, it’s easy to feel that you are lifted up and away from the dangers and diseases of human living. At the very least, you probably thought, “Now, I know how to handle this difficulty.”

Here are three paragraphs that inspired and encouraged many readers:

1

“The indestructible, imperishable, eternal Substance which constitutes your Body and mine is never penetrated or invaded by any destructive appearance. No matter how threatening some false evidence may seem to be or how real it may seem, the Substance of the Body remains immune to and untouched by the fallacious evidence.”

2

“There is no false evidence. The only thing false about any evidence is our misinterpretation of that which is already perfect, right here and now. For the purpose of clarity, we do speak of false evidence. But don’t be deceived. The only evidence in existence is perfect evidence. It has to be perfect because God is all there is to be evidenced.”

3

“When we know, really know, the nature of all Substance, we are no longer deceived by fallacious evidence. We cannot fear it. We just know, and nothing can convince us that there is any substance other than God being that Substance.”

There is a keyword in the last paragraph that cannot be overlooked. This word turns philosophical Truth to practical power for daily living. Without it, all you have is a collection of words. The keyword is KNOW.

There are many references to knowing in that post. How important is knowing? Christ Jesus answers, “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32).” The only way to be free of the adversities and afflictions that seem to bind you, is to know the Truth.

How Do I Know Truth?

The question you are probably asking is, “How do I attain the knowing of Truth?” The answer is simple. Your desire to consciously know Truth is the assurance that you will succeed. You cannot fail. However, your motive must be spotless as fresh-fallen snow. If your desire to know Truth is for any reason other than the joy of knowing, your motive is stained with selfishness. But if your motive is pure, you will succeed.

And it need not take a long time. Matter-of-fact, it need take no time at all. Don’t undermine yourself. Give me your imagination, and you’ll see what I mean.

Your Warehouse Of Truth

Imagine that there’s a large warehouse in your backyard. Inside there is everything you could ever desire. Should you have a need, you only have to step inside your warehouse. There’s no need for you to run around the city searching for it; no need to ask others for it; no need to ever step outside of your yard. It, whatever you desire, is right where you are.

Your Consciousness (both impersonal and universal) is a warehouse of Truth—all Truth. It doesn’t contain Truth. It is Truth. You say that you want to know Truth, then why run around looking for it in books, teachers, preachers, and videos? That’s like consulting a map and walking in the opposite direction. Right this moment, all Truth inheres your Consciousness. To look outside of your Self delays the wonderful revelation of God’s Truth.

“What about the books I love?” A well-written Truth book, or a well-spoken message will always direct you to your Self (where all Truth dwells).

Keep These In Mind

Here are a few tips and reminders:

• The knowledge of Truth is not a supernatural experience. It is as natural as breathing.
• The knowledge of Truth does not have to take a long time. It can happen without delay.
• The knowledge of Truth is not coming to you. It is rising from within you.
• You are every Truth you seek.
• Enjoy the books and speakers, but know them to be only stepping stones to the Truth within you.
