(Song)
'Oh, for a Love that thinketh no evil
Oh, for a Love that thinketh no evil,
Oh, for a Love that thinketh no evil,
A Love that is just like YOU,
Oh, for a Love that is not puffed up, etc.
Oh, for a Love that does not behave unseemingly, etc.'
PEACE EVERYONE! ("Peace, FATHER Dear!" enthusiastically greeted the people.)
Here we are and there I AM; there I sit and there I stand. While listening to that little song as it came forth by inspiration, I thought of the doctrine of the metaphysicians, striving to get man out of the realm of evil thinking. It is a philosophy that cannot be rightfully criticized when you realize you must firstly rid someone from all evil in your consideration; but while thinking along that line I thought of those who claim to know GOD, who have not yet -- I mean to say, there are some who claim to know GOD, who have not yet rid themselves of all evil concerning any person.
How can one rid himself of all evil unless he can find Perfection somewhere in his consideration, but if he can find Perfection in your consideration and exemption for some individual whereby evil cannot come in your consideration, then and there you have found that little spot where you can visualize the Perfect Picture, idea and visualize it vividly and hold it in our conscience and in our consciousness absolutely free, and free it from the thought of evil, for the Message said, "Oh, for a heart that thinketh no evil." It is indeed wonderful!
If you desire to free yourselves of evil thinking, at least try to find the Perfect place where you can direct your Perfect thought. Oh, it is something to consider. If you cannot find somewhere and some individual on the material plane, whereby you can direct your perfect thoughts and recognize Purity and Perfection, it is a matter of impossibility for you to materialize it. It is a true saying, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he."
I have caused the millions to think scientifically along this line in the Perfect direction, visualizing the Perfect Picture to some degree, therefore, they have reflected such as they have visualized, but when and wheresoever something can arise in your consideration or out of your consideration to be called to your attention, to cause you to eliminate your faith and observe evil, it is a matter of impossibility for you to materialize and personify the Perfect. Then I say, "A heart that thinketh no evil; a heart that is pure; a heart that is free by the recognition of the Emancipator," GOD will free you by such a recognition through your concentration.
The thing you vividly visualize you tend to materialize. The thing you recognize and respect or consider very much, you tend to become to be a part of it. Now isn't that wonderful! You can work out your own Soul's Salvation and can work out your own Soul, "The other state of expression." Now isn't that wonderful! My Interpretation -- condemnation. ("It is so wonderful, FATHER!" exclaimed the Loved Ones.)
It is a privilege to realize those of you who have visualized the Positive, those of you who have looked upon the Perfect Picture vividly, you are bringing it into actuality in your experience -- you are causing your mentality to be filled with the Desirableness of the Desirable through concentration as your bodies and mentalities have been filled with the undesirableness of the undesirable, which is negation.
Why is it mankind is so inclined to visualize, seek after and desire that which is impure, that which is unreal? It is because they have yielded themselves servants to obey such a tendency, therefore, that mind and that nature in them is seeking something in the highest light of expression to be recognized and classed as one with them. Now isn't that something to consider? If any of you have ever been fortunate enough to be unfortunate enough to go to that the people call "jail" -- if a prisoner enters a jail, as a rule, the majority of the prisoners are glad to see him come. They will say, "Oh, boy! what have they got you for?" The new-comer will reply, "I tell you, they've got me for robbery." "What have they got you for?" "wife beating." "What have they got you for, say! -- say, what have they got you for?" "Got me for theft." "They claim I broke in a store and stole some merchandise, but I didn't do it."
I AM saying that to say this -- if you are below the level of the beast, you desire to class all others with yourself. If you are a criminal, you desire to class others in that state of mind as being one with you. You are glad to bring another in accord with you. "Misery seeks its own, as water seeks its level." But to the reverse, suppose we would consider, if you will raise your consciousness to contact the CHRIST Consciousness and allow your Righteousness to overbalance your unrighteousness, your unrighteousness will not be counted, hence you will attract and draw to you the Righteousness of others even as you have imposed the wickedness of others upon you. "Light attracts Light as well as misery seeks its own." Hence, if you will lift up a standard and recognize GOD'S Presence, by raising your consciousness to contact the CHRIST Consciousness and especially to find some place in your consideration where you can visualize the Perfect, the Real and the True you will tend to materialize the same for yourself, but there must be some place somewhere in your consciousness where you can sow the seed of confidence in the way of Perfection of the Positive instead of the negative, as there is always ground and grounds for the negative to be sown therein.
Oh, it is something to consider. As you live in this recognition, you too, as well as the composer of that little composition, can say, "Oh, for a mind that thinketh no evil" -- a mind where we can visualize and observe the Perfect, a mind where we can attract and draw the desirable to us. That Mind and that Love of which the song was speaking of, can and will bring Peace on earth and Good Will to men. This love of which the song declared, the love-like kind, a love undefiled, a love pure, a love clean, a love unselfish, yet among the children of men -- a Love for the Name of GOD and for His Kingdom alone.
We are rejoicing, causing every muscle, every sinew, every vein and every bone, every fibre and every cell of My Bodily Form to rejoice. I heard the Spirit without and within declare, I HAVE TRULY COME." That I of Whom you say, I AM is Righteousness, Justice and Truth. That I of Whom you say I AM, is Peace and Joy, Life, Health and Love and everything else that is good. All of these qualities GOD is bringing into expression as you visualize them, and as you realize them. It comes through the recognition and through the realization. It is established in your conscious mentality. It is made a Living Reality.
These Blessings could not be a reality merely by supposition, neither could they be a reality merely by visualization, but after visualizing them vividly it is brought to your recognition. Through your recognition you will also realize it, and when this realization shall have taken place in your mentality and your conscious mind grasps it and dwells upon it, you can bring it into materialization, for your physical body will materialize it. The very physical structure as an abstract and visible expression of Perfection, I AM calling it into question and into consideration. All who are living in this Recognition, all who are living in the place where they can vividly visualize it, even though they have not realized it nor recognized it, the vivid visualization of the Positive by concentration continually, will direct your attention in the Positive direction and cause you to no longer be inclined to the negative.
Oh, it is something to consider. Truly might have one said, "You cannot serve two masters." The thing you dwell upon and allow your mind and attention to be directed to, that is the something you are serving, whether it be an inanimate expression or an animated expression, it is the thing you are serving. For your sakes I have stressed from time to time, "Minds and Attention please, since you believe." Not so much for My Good, but for yours as you have declared you observe in this direction, the Positive, the Real and the True. Then if your mind and if your attention is directed in the Positive direction, and on the Positive, you will tend to create the Positive condition in response to your Positive thinking in the Positive direction.
If this is a supposition in your consideration, stop and think for an instance, the mystery of thinking about a negative and an undesirable condition. If you think on it vividly your very temperament will change immediately and you will be the reflector and the manifester of negation. Think on a desirable condition -- a desirable expression, such a thought will cause you to express it and reflect it, cause you to be partakers of it by vividly thinking on it.
Greater is the sower of the Positive seed idea and the broadcaster of Positive thought then he that planteth the garden and all of your vegetation for the very Words we are sowing in your conscious consideration, they are becoming to be a conception. As they become to be a conception you begin immediately to materialize them. When you materialize them your bodies will eventually personify them. If they are Positive, if they are True, if they are Real, yea, even if they are unreal, untrue and negative, you will tend to materialize the thing you vividly visualize. Then I say, by being optimistic and thinking along Positive lines, it is not anything that you are doing, but automatically the Positive thoughts will contact the Spiritual Realm and the Great Creator of all things, will bring into outer expression and into materialization, the Positive, the Real and the True.
Why is it your physical bodies today are expressing so much Joy and Happiness? It is because I have spoken Words of consolation. I have encouraged you along the line of the Positive direction, leading you on to Perfection, therefore, by your conscious recognition and concentration, you are materializing the Positive and cancellating the negative.
Oh, it is a privilege to realize it. We are not asking a conscious mind on earth, to give us the slightest information from the vocabulary of our present civilization, for the Spirit of My Omniscience is sufficient. It causes it and every individual who will live thus accordingly, to be quite efficient to meet the issues satisfactorily.
Oh, it is a privilege to live in it. RELAX yourselves. STILL yourselves when you do this; the appearance of something else will take place and that something else is CHRIST. Because you believe it, you will attract the reality of it to you. Now isn't that wonderful! Because you visualize it, you tend to charm it. Truly might have one said:
"Jesus, the Name that charms our fears, and bids our sorrows cease. It is music in a sinners ears; it is Life and Health and Peace."
The true philosophy of Life and the true psychology of which you all should observe, as I have often said from time to time, millions with you rise. You may rise in a state of negation mentally, you may rise in a chaotic condition physically, because your conscious and subconscious mind have conceived the negative. You are receiving the results of negative thinking and of directing your conscious and your subconscious thoughts in the negative direction, to attract to yourselves those negative tendencies, those negative ideas and opinions and personalities, if they may be called personalities, cause you to be antagonized with them. Personalities of others who are not living in the recognition of GOD'S Presence, and in a harmonious state of expression will be antagonistic to the true and the faithful.
Just think of it! But to the extreme reverse of such a negative expression, when you shall have vividly visualized the Words I have spoken, when you shall have vividly gazed upon them, when you shall have Relaxed your conscious mentality in every other direction and caused your conscious mentality to be stressed in the Positive direction, the Positive results will be your portion. Joy and Happiness for each and every individual. Just as I have it under My Own Consideration, and at My Own Expression from My Own Individual Vocabulary, so will I have it for all others who come in contact with ME.
This is accomplished through LETTING GO . . . Let go of man and all of mankind's versions, all of their ideas and opinions, all of their imaginations and every other mortal expression. RELAX your conscious mentality concerning them, and GOD will come forth into expression, and will Teach you Wisdom such as the world has not given. The world cannot produce that which will come forth by the LETTING GO and LETTING GOD.
By your self-denial, you are gaining all there is, as said the Scripture. "What profit is it for a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul!" To the reverse, if you lose the whole world for the CHRIST, you will gain all and all in Him. The Epistle is fulfilled then.
"All things are yours -- things present and things to come, and ye are Christ's and CHRIST is GOD'S. One in all and all in one, that is the way CHRIST was to come." For this cause there is a reality and we can rejoice in it, even though you do not see it in consciousness, you can Relax, you can Still yourself; you can rely on it, for the very Expression of this Sample and Example that we are enjoying is sufficient to give us the understanding. It is better and better further on. As I heard one say today, the change of the atmosphere, the Life of the world to the Life of the Kingdom and to the Life of GOD, is a different world in reality here and now where we are living.
Just think of it! Coming into these audiences, the very atmosphere, the very environment is a complete change, it is a new world altogether, where the Abundance of the Fullness is preached and expressed, where these Qualities and the Perfect Expression is always uppermostly in our consideration, where we are Lifting up and visualizing and magnifying these Qualities, with all of the Positive expressions, minimizing and cancellating the negative to its lowest terms, that the negative might no longer be seen.
Now I do not want you all -- in other words, I do not care for you all to witness ME unless you mean it, but if you mean it, and can witness sincerely, you will receive the witness in yourselves as individuals. I did not merely say you would receive the witness among yourselves as a collective body, but each of you will receive the witness in yourselves as individuals. Then I say, Dial in on Calvary's Station, let the whole world Dial in, for the Fountain is flowing . . . It is flowing so free for everyone. Each and everyone may dial in. "Joy is flowing like a river, since the Comforter has come."
This is not merely sung theoretically by those of My true and faithful Believers, but to you it is a REALITY, no longer a theory, no longer a supposition, no longer an imagination of such an expression is in your conscious realization. Upon this Foundation you are substantiated. You may Relax now if you wish to, and live in the Presence of GOD. Through your Relaxation, by dying from the world once and forever, lo, I will be with you and you will not have an occasion to fret nor worry, for I carry within Myself and in My Immaculate Name, the VICTORY over all limitations, over all adverse and undesirable conditions, for the Mouth of GOD is speaking. I thank you.
