"We know that the ideals we see in the
lives of others take root in our lives and, in compliance with the Divine Law, bring
forth after their kind. As long as we believe in the power of sin and see the effect
of sin as a reality, the punishment of that sin will be vital in our own lives.
But, as we give to ourselves and others truly righteous thoughts for all
inharmonious ones, we are making ready the harvest of a great spiritual feast which
is certain to follow the seedtime. Thus forgiveness has a two-fold mission. It
frees both the erring and the loving one, for back of the application of forgiveness
is a deep and radiant love, a love founded on principle, a love that desires to give
for the joy of giving with no thought of reward save that of the Father’s approval
in the words,
"This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased."
"These words are just as true for us as they are true of Jesus. Your sins, sickness,
or discord are no more a part of God, or your true self, than fungi are a part of
the plants to which they attach themselves. They are the false excrescences which
have gathered upon your bodies as the result of wrong thinking. The thought of the
disease and the disease are merely the cause and the effect. Erase, forgive the
cause and the effect disappears. Erase the false belief and sickness vanishes.
"This was the only method of cure that Jesus ever resorted to. He erased
the false image in the consciousness of the one to whom he ministered. He first
raised the vibrations of his body by connecting his own thoughts with those of
Divine Mind and holding his own thoughts steadfastly in accord with those of the
perfection of the Divine Mind for man. Then the vibrations of his body became equal
to the vibrations in Divine Mind.
Having thus raised the vibrations of his
own body by his steadfast thought of the Divine Perfection, he was able to raise
the vibrations of the body of the applicant with the withered arm to the point
where he could erase the image of the withered arm from his own consciousness.
Then Jesus could say to him,
"Stretch forth your hand."
He stretched
it forth and it became whole. Thus Jesus raised the vibrations of his own body by
seeing the Divine Perfection for all and this enabled him to raise the vibrations
of the one he healed until the image of imperfection was entirely erased; then
perfection was instantaneous and the forgiveness was complete.
"You will
soon find that, by fixing your thoughts and attention steadfastly on God and His
divine perfection, you can raise the vibrations of your body so that they will
blend so harmoniously with those of the divine perfection that you are absolutely
one with the divine perfection and thus one with God.
You are then able so
to influence the vibrations of the bodies of others with whom you come in contact
that they see the perfection that you see. Thus you may fulfill the divine mission
and your part is complete.
Or you may see imperfection and thus lower the
vibrations until imperfection is the result but if you do this, you cannot escape
reaping the harvest of the seed you have sown.

And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel;
The Lord our God is one (not three) Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with
all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy
strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou
shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than
these. (Mark 12:29-31)
Beloved, let us love one another: for love
is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth
not knoweth not God; for God is love. (1 John 4:7-8)
And we have known
and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love
dwelleth in God, and God in him. (1 John 4:16)
Therefore if any man be
in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are
become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
Believest thou not that I am in
the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of
myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I am
in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall
he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
(John 14:10-12)
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and
that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? (1 Corinthians 3:16)
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be
thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
(Matteus 6:9-10)
And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the
kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh
not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold,
the kingdom of God is within you. (Luke 17:20-21)
