Lesson 4 - The Way of Reconciliation

The great lost secret is the knowledge of God, and His revelation to Nature and Man. The loss of this knowledge is due to the deception of sense. To be guided by the senses is to be under their dominion of belief; and whatever we yield ourselves servants to obey, their servants we are.

To obey the senses in thought and action, is disobedience to the Spirit; to be guided by the senses is not to be guided by understanding; and not to be guided by understanding is to be in confusion or outer darkness. To fall from consciousness of truth is to lose knowledge of God, and of the soul’s union with Him. The science of Divine Spirit reveals the fact to us that the old, old truth, is the new, for truth never changes; that which was, is now and ever will be.

In this lesson we shall present Truth, and the method whereby you may cease to partake of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and partake of the tree of life, or gain consciousness of first and final truth of Being.

As God always was, is now, and always will be omnipresent - perfect good always was, is now, and always will be omnipresent. To acknowledge and live in the presence of God is to live in an undivided consciousness of good. By penetrating to the depths and center of consciousness we come to know that Spirit or God is, and that He is the I Am, or life of the soul. Then no longer is God concealed from us to be revealed in the remote future, but is to us the living, present Good; and no longer is our path dark and dreary, shadowed by the delusions of sense. "If we find not God within ourselves, we may seek in vain elsewhere." First seek and find Him there, and you will find Him everywhere. Seek the Spirit in truth and you shall find that you possess the Kingdom. Meditate, dear students and children of Spirit, and read between the lines; and you will know, that to speak and act the truth is to worship in spirit and in truth.
