  • EBUP39: Expand Your God Concept
    So the question remains, what do you really believe about God? You know what you believe by how you find yourself acting. And you pray for healing, healing for help from God as the great healer. And you seek the awareness of the wholeness of life. And you have a particularly naughty problem. You approach God as the heavenly answer man? And you know that in your transcendent self, the answer is known in you.

  • EBUP38: Easter's Rolling Stone
    For you see, when we catch the insight of the rolling stone of Easter, giving rise to an awareness of our divine depth, then Easter is no longer a way of seeing certain things, but rather it is a certain way of seeing all things. In other words, I want to help you gain a perspective by which to deal with every experience in the light of this resurrection principle. Easter may begin with the resurrection story of Jesus, but should not end there. This is no story of God playing the role of man for a while, though we may have been told this. It is the story of man at his finest, demonstrating the God potential within every person, yes, within you and within me. It was, and it is, the triumphant discovery of the resurrection principle within all persons.

  • EBUP37: Excess Baggage
    Paul calls for us to lay aside every weight, then the sin is not so easy to beset you. It’s not easy, for pernicious negatives become deeply rooted in the mind. These attitudes that are absorbed into your consciousness over a lifetime can be changed, but not overnight. First of all, you must get the feeling that you can change. Then, you must cast off the excess baggage of your mind with a great deal of effort.

  • EBUP36: A Formula for Good Fortune
    Now you can never understand life or truth or yourself until you give up once and for all the idea that you live in a universe of favoritism or caprice or the fortuitous turn of events. Life is not a game of chance.

  • EBUP35: Divine Discontent
    I want to share with you this morning some thoughts about divine discontent. It might appear to be somewhat strange that we would elevate to a divine status, a negative state of consciousness. It certainly little is more than unpleasant than to be surrounded by people who are always griping, complaining, grousing, always discontent. What is good or divine about discontentment? You might ask yourself what the word contentment means. Does it indicate peace and wellbeing? Fulfillment, and achievement, relaxation from the struggles and frustrations of life? Or, does it imply self-satisfaction, complacency, a stuffy self-centeredness isolated from reality?

  • EBUP34: Discover the Secret of Life -6- Living In a Prodigal Universe

    The word “prodigal” also means lavish, generous, abundant, profuse, bounteous, limitless, boundless, affluent, luxuriant, inexhaustible, and so on. Almost antithetical to the “prodigal” application we within the parable of the Prodigal Son. Just ease your mind, we’re not talking about wastefulness and extravagance, we’re talking about abundance, affluence, the lavish, generous, profuse manifestation of the universe as it is in support of us.

    In our quest for the secret of life, we discover that abundance is the law of nature. Nature is lavish, extravagant, and beautiful. An even more exciting insight, there’s a legitimate royal abundance for every living person. Because you are, we say, a child of God, you might say in terms of the universe, but you are an outforming unfoldment of the universe. You are the universe expressing itself as you

  • EBUP33: Discover the Power Within You -13- When Shall the Kingdom Come?

    So all of this has come out of, even though it’s a caricature of this great eschatological concept of the kingdom of Heaven as something up there, and something that deals with futurity.

    But what did Jesus have to say about it? All of this has come about as a result of the religion about Jesus. Rarely do we hear the words of Jesus relative to this, because he was very clear. He made no bones about it. In the 17th chapter of Luke and being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God cometh, he answered, “The kingdom of God cometh not with observation.” In other words, you don’t see it. “The kingdom of God cometh not with observation, neither shall they say lo here or lo there, for lo the kingdom of God is within you.”

  • EBUP32: Discover the Power Within You -11- The Great Demonstration
    The eternal question of Easter, which is asked and reposed over and over again, what does that empty tomb mean? Coincidentally, it means more than anything else that there is something eternal about life. Something that transcends what we call death. It may well be as the ages go by, it’s not inconceivable to me, that there will be a time when science will come to realize that the coming back from the dead is not at all impossible. Perhaps in our day we won’t see it, but there are those who are talking about all sorts of demonstrations and experiences in life beyond anything that our common sense would come to accept.

  • EBUP31: Discover the Power Within You -8- The Gospel of Prosperity
    In other words, Jesus’ gospel of prosperity is tremendously needed in our time, when there’s a great deal of interest in trying to solve the shortages of the world and to somehow take care of the needs in our cities, in providing means for the poor and so forth, to get the realization that Jesus states clearly and implies constantly that there is a legitimate, loyal abundance for every living creature.

  • EBUP30: Discover the Power Within You -5- Your Thought Is Your Life

    Now we’re considering today, from the Sermon on the Mount, the fifth chapter of Matthew 13th through 28th verses. And it begins, “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt has lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and to be trodden under the foot of man.”

    Salt of itself, is a useless food. It’s value is in seasoning food. Truth, in the same way, is nothing of itself. This is a hard lesson for some because quite often in our study we make truth everything. Truth is nothing of itself. It is only vital when it becomes an influence. It is only vital when it helps you to alter your thoughts, to change your consciousness, to redirect your life. It is only good when it is used.
