Realize, therefore, that prayer is not for the purpose of asking for something you wish to have. It is for the purpose of realizing that you already have that for which you have asked. All power exists in the universe and is yours when you do your part in bringing it to you.
You have health–and a perfect body. It is eternal in you. What have you done to drive it away so that you now think you do not have it?
What have you, or your ancestors, or loved ones, done to destroy the perfection of your body–or the seed of your body?
Why do you now ask for health and a perfect body as though it is not already yours?
What you did to destroy your health or your perfection, you must undo to attain the normalcy which is already yours and always has been. Whom are you blaming? If you have lost anything, have you not gained its equivalent? Is not finding your Self worth a broken back?
Balance and perfection are normal. They are primal CAUSE. Imperfection is an EFFECT of unbalance. Who–and what– caused your unbalanced effect? You still have perfection. Restore it by eliminating imperfection.
Normalcy is the basis of abnormalcy, just as silence is the basis of sound. When sound ceases, silence reappears, but silence IS. It has never ceased to be. Likewise, normalcy IS. Stop abnormalcy and normalcy reappears. It has never ceased to be. AND BY WHOSE DEFINITION AND GUIDELINES DO YOU PERCEIVE PERFECTION? I MUST REMIND YOU THAT A HANDICAP IS NOT IMPERFECTION!
When you pray to God for love because you are lonely and without love, God answers, saying:
“You already have all the love of all the universe. Prove what I say to you by giving love out from you. You will find that all of the world loves you in the measure that you love the world.”
When you thus give love out from you to all the world, love will come to you from its far horizons.
He who would pray for love and the companionship of many friends shall be given that for which he asks in the measure in which he gives love and friendship to others whom he befriends.
And he who would feel the ecstasy of all the world at prayer with the God of Nature should go out into nature’s great cathedral of forest pines and oaks and join in that mighty prayer of running streams and babbling brooks, and the singing of birds, the sound of the bees, the droning of countless insects and hidden things that chirp and trill, and sing hosannas to God in His high heavens to gladden our hearts as we walk and talk with God.
When any man prays to you to fulfill HIS DESIRES, as you do to your Father, know that he is praying to your Father who is ONE with you. Even as God works with you to fulfill your desire, you should work with him who desires aught of you to fulfill his desire–for as all men are one, so, likewise, are all desires of all men one.
If he thus prays to you to help him to fulfill an UNBALANCED desire which is not love given and regiven equally, extend to him your love and balanced knowing, even as God whispers it always to the unhearing and unknowing.
If he hears but heeds not your counseling, do not condemn him or fail to watch over him until the Light of your illumining has reached his heart as it some day will, even as God watches over the unbalanced ones who have not yet learned to manifest love. Say to him within your heart what God says in His heart—“All men will come to me in due time, but theirs is the agony of awaiting.” And be there awaiting him with love when he has at last known love. In the interim you must not thrust by force your opinions upon him for that is not of God–but you must allow release of that one to his own path while he alone finds of his way into Truth and giving.
And so it is in all ways of man–for we say that God is Love and love is all that is in God’s kingdom of heaven–and the manifestation of love is all that is on Earth.
Man of earth does not yet know that, but he is beginning to know it through cosmic man brothers of the high heavens who know love in him and give it to the world in the heavenly rhythms of the high heavens.
The geniuses of the world manifest God’s love and give it out from themselves to uplift the world by reinspiring man-of-earth with the inspirations of heaven-born men.
The love-inspired symphony is prayer for love fulfilled in the composer, and again fulfilled in the hearts of those whose heartbeat feels the ecstasy of God’s heartbeat as expressed in those heavenly rhythms.
And so is all the art of all the world a prayer for love fulfilled in inspired cosmic man for regiving of love to the race of man. For art is beauty, without which man is not yet even human.
The workman at his bench who gives beauty to his work regives the love which God has given him to all the world to uplift the world. Likewise, the housewife who puts love into her cooking enriches the food with God’s love which renourishes her family with love. Likewise, the butcher, the baker and that candlestick maker who regive love for love given to them to manifest God in building His universe of love with Him also uplift the world.
And the mason gives love to his wall in the laying of each brick which, in turn, reflects love’s beauty to each passer-by. Beauty thus given by the mason and reflected to man is the Light of the kingdom of heaven extended to man for his illumining.
We shall pick up our next segment with a discussion of the dawning transition of man.
