The Great Awakening

"Now it is high time to awake out of sleep."

The belief in a life apart from Good is a dream from which we must awake if we are to taste the waters of reality, which flow from the source of life.

As one awakes from a nightmare, so the mentality awakes from the dream of a living death to a realization of eternal life. We cast off the works of darkness when we realize that evil is not an entity but a fraud. The armour of light is the Truth, the very knowing of which makes free.

This awakening is a process of evolution, a little here and a little there until the whole eye is opened and we see that life is neither separate from God nor different from Good. Life is God, and Good is the only power there is, or can be.

To awaken to oneself is to be healed, made prosperous, happy and satisfied; to be made every whit whole; to become complete as we were intended to be. God is a God of the living and not of the dead. He sees and knows only perfection and completion; happiness and satisfaction. When we shall think of ourselves as God knows us, then complete salvation will have come to us.

Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth.

Yea, he shall be holden up; for God is able to make him stand.

One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike.

(page 156)

Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

None of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived,
that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather,
That no man put a stumbling block, or an occasion to fall, in his brother's way.

I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself:
But to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God.

Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.

And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
