Peace and Good Will

Soul of the Shepherds, listen o n c e more,
Angels are singing n o w as of yore;
T h o u g h Hate's evangels shout from e a c h hill—
Still chants God's chorus: P e a c e a n d Good-Will.
Feet of the Magi, follow Love's star,
Spite of the turmoil a n d horror of war;
Heart of the Shepherd, bid us b e still,
Till our hearts echo: P e a c e a n d Good-Will.
B a b e in the M a n g e r , in our hearts g r o w
Till the sweet music of h e a v e n w e k n o w ;
S o n g of the shepherds, in our souls thrill
Till earth shall answer: P e a c e a n d Good-Will.

Lesson Three of the Course
Subliminal Thinking
A successful life largely d e ­
pends u p o n the right u s e of a n d
control of habit and, finally, in
its perfection in the elimination
of habit entirely.
Materialistic science defines
m a n as a creature of habit a n d
suggestion. T h e m i n d of the a n i ­
mal m a n finds that all its limi­
tation consists of habit a n d the
results of suggestion. This s t u d y
is dignified b y the n a m e " n e w e r
psychology". M a r v e l o u s things
are told of it, yet it is all a p l a y
of the pitting of o n e limitation
against another, either looking
forward to the final elimination
of all limitation or abject in its
belief that the d r a m a of limita­
tions constitutes all there is of
life.
Yet a m o m e n t ' s reflection
should disabuse u s of s u c h a
faulty conception.
Think for a m o m e n t with the
Subliminal M i n d in y o u a n d u p ­
on its plane: Life is e v e r e x p a n d ­
ing; it is given us freely. I arise.
I go forth as I will. O n w a r d n e s s
is the direction of m y feet. T h e
U rge to Joy is with m e a n d the
desire to do. A g a i n a n d a g a i n
I k n o w that I c a n d o a s I will,
or that I c a n rest s h o u l d I so d e ­
sire. I n d e e d I a m Free.

O n e c a n d iscover n o limitation
in the a b o v e thinking. T h e r e is
n o d e p e n d e n c y there, n o habit
inflictions, n o fixations or i n h a r ­
monizations. I n d e e d it is not o n ­
ly possible to think a n d to d o
w i t h the S u b l i m i n a l M i n d — a n d
all of u s d o so— b u t to r e c o g n i z e
admit, a n d a p p r e c i a t e that w e
h a v e subli m i n a l m o m e n t s , u r g e s
a n d aspirations is to w i n not
o n l y m o r e of t h e m a n d their k i n d
b u t actually to attract a n d u n ­
fold within u s F r e e d o m itself a n d
the p o w e r s a n d faculties that re­
sult f r o m it.
Inspiration — the m o t h e r of
p o e m , invention, h e r o i s m a n d
art— h a s n o c o m p r o m i s e w i t h
habit or m o r t a l m i n d limitation.
W h a t habit, w h a t suggestion,
w h a t w o r l d science or routine
c o u l d g i v e rise to inspiration?
Inspiration is Free; it arises f r o m
direct contact with, a n d the a c ­
tual p r e s e n c e of, the living G o d
in u s w h e t h e r w e a r e c o n s c i o u s
of that fact or not.
Y e t w e a r e told b y c l a m m y
mortality, s o m e t i m e s offered u s
falsely a s the Christian religion,
to exercise the habit of repeti­
tion ( a n d repetition is habit) a n d

basis of h u m a n will a n d s o b r i n g

H o w are w e to free ourselves

limitation? W e easily d o this b y
giving importance, ac c e n t a n d
attention to principle, to o u r aim,
to o u r intentions, instead of to
o u r m e t h o d , instead of giving it
to the m e n t a l m e c h a n i c s of our
acts. I tell y o u that D E V O T I O N
to the God-in-us, that the F r e e ­
d o m that w e S E E K a n d hold b e ­
fore u s liberates us, not the r e p ­
etition of the i d e a or the d e m a n d
of mortal m i n d , n o matter h o w
gloriously w e m a y n a m e that
d e m a n d . T h e L a w is L o v e a n d
it is to b e exercised in Peace.
T h e mortalist h a s not polar­
ized his thought aright. H e h a s
r e m a i n e d within himself a n d
u p o n his limited p l a n e b y b e ­
lieving that it is his d e m a n d that
is effective instead of the Prin­
ciple t o w a r d w h i c h h e h a s
a i m e d . Yes, the a r r o w hits the
target but the b o w did not m a k e
the hit; the m a n , the archer,
m a d e the hit a n d the less h e
thought a b o u t the b o w the m o r e
intently h e thought a b o u t the
target, the m o r e sure the result.
It is the poised a n d intensified
a i m that counts in m a r k s m a n ­
ship, not the m a c h i n e r y of it.
Tha t w h i c h a i m s at F r e e d o m ,

knowledge, a n d has b e e n so
recognized during all the ages.
There are t w o distinctive w a y s
of acquiring knowledge. W e
c a n acquire it from without,
through our experiences with
things, objects, or personalities;
or w e c a n acquire it from with­
in.
T h e Occidental peoples are
not too thoroughly acquainted
with the w a y s of c o m i n g into
k n o w l e d g e from within. Let m e
illustrate.
The Oriental, including He of
the n e w e r western civilizations,
is prone to r ead books. H e reads
t h e m b y dozens a n d hundreds.
Should h e desire information u p ­
o n a given subject h e goes to
the public library or to the b o o k ­
store a n d returns with a n a r m ­
ful of books. These h e reads a n d
then returns for more. F r o m
e a c h b o o k h e receives a n idea
or two. T h e b o o k probably of­
fers hundreds of ideas, but the
usual reader "catches few." T h e
m o r e books the latter reads the
m o r e h e expects to learn. M a n y
books, hours of reading, m u c h
learned — possibly. T h e s a m e
use of the m i n d is exercised o n

T h e s e are s o m e of the quali­
ties of Spirit w h i c h w e shall c o n ­
sider for purposes of meditation
a n d its consequent fulfillment of
the consciousness of Spirit:
Spirit is limitless. It extends
everywhere. There is n o out­
side. It is unlimited as to s p a c e
a n d as to time. There is n o dis­
tance or time in Spirit.
A n y o n e c a n think of that
w h i c h is timeless for there is n o
necessity for clock or calendar
in thinking. A thought about
"the m a n y years" c a n b e as e a s ­
ily accomplished as a thought
regarding a minute of time.
Spacelessness in thought is
s h o w n b y the fact that it is as
easy for a person in S a n F r a n ­
cisco to think of the City of L o n ­
d o n as it is to think of the h o u s e
across the street.
That quality that is in our
m i n d actions w h i c h is free from
time or distance is Spirit.
W e c a n think these things,
therefore w e c a n think Spirit.
There is n o question as to

Spirit or not. W e can 'in

T h e s e cataclysmic climatic

Truth in Christian Healing Practice
Informal Lesson-Letters in Truth—No.
So far a s m etap h y sical or
p ray er healing is co n ce rn e d —
The cause oi disease is indi­
rect em otionalism s.
Com m on conscious thoughts
do not ca u s e d iseases in the
body or distresses in life.
It is o n l y w h e n conscious
thoughts a re re p e a te d a g re a t
m an y times so that they a r e b e ­
com e habitual, h i d d e n an d ,
m ore than all, em otional, that
diseases a re cau sed . The c a u s e
then is not a thought condition,
it is a n em otional subconscious
condition.
Also thoughts that one thinks
a s well a s exp erien ces a n d co n ­
ditions in life that one m eets or
contacts alw ay s injure d isease-
w ard provided that they a re un­
pleasan t an d d isag reeab le to
the thinker or to the one who
experiences them to the extent
of causing d eep em otional feel­
ings.
To repeatedly think agcdnst,
(against anything) cau ses di­
sease. It m akes no difference
w hat w e think again st or why,
excuses do not m itigate ag ain st
d isease cau se. There a re no e x ­
cuses in Truth. Things simply
are, life is, or it is denied.
To deny anything in a d eep
emotional m anner is to suffer
from the actual denial of life it-

re destructive b ecom e first
ansformed into em otionalism s
ley invariably act a s c a u s e s of
isease. Of course in m etap h ys-
s we know that d iseases a r e
ot always physical. There a r e
lental diseases, dom estic di­
eases, financial d iseases a n d

Vhen we understand the w ord
lisease as dis-ease w e fully d e-
cribe all earth troubles. E v ery
rouble that can com e or a p p e a r
o come into daily life is h eal-
ible by Prayer an d Spirit. The
dea that God put us upon earth ,
Dr places us an y w h ere to suffer
is, of course, ridculous.
The cause of d iseases is within
the individual no m atter w h at
its cause m ay a p p e a r to b e e x -
teriorally. Ask yourself, "Did
this occur to you? Is it in your
life?"
If the answ er is yes, no m atter
who m a y a p p e a r t o h a v e
brought it to you, it is yours, not
mine, not John's or M ary's. You
are to be healed of it. Pointing
mentally at the other person a n d
saying, as all mortal m ind sa y s,
"He did it," does not free you
■from cause. This is a c h e a p a n d
,most common excuse. H eal the
jcause. You cannot b e out of it.

B ein g d e e p ly hurt is a n a d ­

Y es, I know, w e a r e all m ore

Selfhood does not consist of
opinions, its b asis is Principle.
Do you know that soldiers n a ­
turally fear battles, but that m ost
of them forget all their fear w hen
actually in the battle. The lack
of fear is a pow er state of mind.
But pow er is not spiritual nor
life-giving unless it is the Pow er
of Principle. I am not a d v o ca t­
ing battle, on the contrary just
the opposite, but note that w hen
the em battled soldier n eed s the
utmost Protection he is free from
fear, a t that time he h as a d ­
van ced a t least to the spirit of
self protection. He sa y s that he
does not h av e time to fear, well
he does not fear.
To return to our patient with
the tumor. F a r from b eing a
"belief in tumor" a s usually un­
