“We are all students merely functioning at different levels. Every day we must re-establish ourselves in the Christ Consciousness and then go further to the realization that whatever problems we meet this day are appearing as mesmeric suggestions based on the universal belief in two powers. We must constantly and consciously abide in the realization that whatever we are being presented with is a picture — a picture sometimes good and sometimes evil – and we must not be attached to any picture. At the very moment they appear we recognize them as the “arm of flesh” and dismiss them as such. We must not gloat over the good ones, and we must not fear the evil ones :We must realize the unreal nature and impersonal nature of both. The master gave us these Words: ”We can of our own selves do nothing”. He knew and was convinced of the Presence in our center that does the work, it functions and is responsible for our lives and its demonstration and we trust that Presence, trust it and rest on it.
