LESSON VIII.

I am now going to tell you of a very singular experience which I think will be of value, because it seems to give substance to much that has seemed intangible, for you know such things as thought, emotion, spiritual influx and inner experience have been to us very unreal compared with such things as flesh and blood, houses and lands, money and possessions. It was because of this unreality concerning the inner life and the undue value attached to possessions that the young man was so sorrowful when commanded to sell all that he had and follow Jesus. He seemed to be letting go his hold on reality and getting nothing in its place.

He went away very sorrowful, for he had a longing for something better than he could find in his houses and lands and yet that something was not sufficiently defined to make it an object of pursuit. Being a young man of good sense, that had served him well in the acquisition of wealth, it would naturally seem to him unwise to cut loose from all that seemed so real and pursue a will-o'-the-wisp.

Doubtless if we could follow that young man's history we would find that as the inner vision opened the things of the Spirit became a reality, and it is of this reality as distinctly felt and known by myself that I would speak.
