One of the Great Truth

We think of the ear when we use the word “listening”, but did you know that you really listen with your mind? Listening is actually an inner response to an outer stimulus—a sensitivity to vibration, and vibrations is everywhere. Every moment thousands of vibrations are reaching us, and we can tune in on whatever we like. We may listen to the beauty of nature or focus on filthy city streets. We may listen to joy or sorrow, success or failure, optimism or fear. Each of us is born with equipment to hear, but we must cultivate the ability to hear rightly, to listen selectively. When we form the habit of listening creatively, we become receptive to the higher vibrations of a cosmic voice from which all intelligence springs forth. It is absolutely amazing what we can do when we walk and work under the guidance of the “still small voice” Life can be dynamic and effective and decisive and confident when we cultivate the ability to hear and heed the message of the Cosmic Intelligence within us and in the world around us.   By Eric Butterworth

The Revealing Word

These are the seven necessary conditions for true prayer:

1. God should be recognized as Father.

2. Oneness with God should be acknowledged.

3. Prayer must be made within, in "the secret place" (Psalms 91)

4. The door must be closed on all thoughts and interests of the outer world.

5. The one who prays must believe that he has received.

6. The kingdom of God must be desired above all things, and sought first.

7. The mind must let go of every unforgiving thought.

By C. Fillmore
