true selves, that we may know the greater things of the
spirit of God, which can only be perceived by the eye of
the spirit in man, for whose eye there is no veil in all
Nature's Kingdoms.
A
We are denied knowledge of the indwelling spiritual
man, solely because, we refuse to obey the Laws of God,
which are for our guidance and welfare, and as the result
of this, there exist disease, selfishness, and all manner
of wrong, but the inexhaustible love of the universal parent
has provideda way whereby we may overcome disease
and kindred evils; for it is his will that the whole
body of creation shall be perfect, and to this end, his
"all-powerful will" is working thru the indwelling spiritual
man. When we do nothing, knowingly that is contrary
to that will, we unite the weak, human will with
the irresistible, all~conquering' one, that moves the stars,
and knows no defeat.
"Know ye not that ye are the Temple of God?"
His
Holy Temple has been defiled, and made a thing of corruption,
by those who have, by lack of true insight, mistaken
sense-pleasures, for the sunlight of Life. In their
ignorance, and folly, they have enshrined therein, the
anthropomorphic God of this world, the God of Carnal
Generation, whose fire burns inwardly, and consumes the
being.
"To be carnally minded is death," for it is the mind of
the God of Generation, but to be spiritually minded is
life and peace, for it is the mind of the Holy Spirit. The
sptritually-minded man is awakened to consciousness of
the indwelling spiritual man, and traveling upward and
gaining experience, the battle begins between his'higher
and lower natures. The lower nature in its struggle for
mastery, pulls down the higher nature to its own level,
and holds it in its miasmic embrace, from which the
higher nature, or spiritual man, seeks ever to get free.
