To walk this spiritual path we are taking, we need to understand that all conflicts must be settled from within. One may say how can that be if they exist out there in another person in our families and co-workers? It would be an impossibility to settle these conflicts if they were external to us, but the hope and the blessings are that they are not. There is no conflict going on in us, around us, or about us that cannot be resolved within ourselves. And when it is resolved within ourselves we shall see the outer picture change.

As human beings, we are made up of theories and beliefs. However, many of those beliefs are false. Much of our religious knowledge is based on false beliefs. These theories and beliefs also include false education and superstitions. For example, only a few people in all this land do not believe that God punishes and God rewards and that God will destroy all their enemies and discord if, through some kind of magic they can get on the right side of God.

All error is made up of the belief that there is power in certain forms of effects. There is also a belief in the power of germs. In some germs, they think there is an evil, deadly power, and in some germs a good and healing power. Such belief is untrue because it places power in form, in an effect called a germ, and there is no power in form or effect: all power is in the invisible God. The error is not the germ, not the weather, and not the climate; the error is in the belief that these things have power.

In seeking the conscious realization of God’s presence, all things are added peace, harmony, joy, health, and prosperity. However, they are the added things that come after some measure of realization of God has been attained. Today we are going to break that pattern. We are going to stop the pattern of seeking person and things, safety and security, peace and joy. We are going to stop it by turning our attention to seeking the Kingdom of God so that we may experience the joy of feeling His presence of God within, for, in his presence, all things are added.

The spiritual experience is sacred and should never be spoken of indiscriminately because our pearls would be trampled upon, and our faith may be taken away from us.

To expect anyone to believe what unfolds from within would be like trying to tell a blind person about the beauties of an orchid. The blind person has no way of visualizing what the orchid is like, nor do they on earth have any way of knowing what manner of life is lived by those who have their being in Christ.

In the eighth chapter of Romans, Paul tells us that a mortal being is not under the Law of God, neither can be, and it is not possible for a mortal being to please God. Because the people of the earth are mortal, they still have sin, disease, death, man’s inhumanity to man slavery, and poverty in their mists. Believing is, of course, the first step. However, there is still a journey to be taken. This journey is different from any type of journey. This is a spiritual journey leading to the Father’s house.

To acknowledge that the kingdom of God is within us – the power, the dominion, and the presence of the indwelling Christ is an important step in the direction of bringing about our resurrection from the tomb of sin, disease, poverty, unemployment, or the tomb of bad business. Another important step forward is to remind ourselves daily of the truth of withinness, that all good is already within us, never to be achieved but only expressed.

When a person comes into some measure of understanding of the nature of God, a change takes place in their life. This coming-to-know God aright is often referred to as illumination, and as illumination changes consciousness from a limited sense to one of greater capacity, a new life begins to unfold. Even a faint glimpse of the real nature of God brings an understanding of the Master’s revelation that the kingdom of God is neither lo here nor lo there, but is within.
