The Resurrection

Easter Sunday. Read John 20:1-18.

Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus. Its
inner meaning and spiritual significance is the awakening
and raising to spiritual consciousness of the I AM in man,
which has been dead in trespass and sin and buried in the
tomb of materiality.

"I came that they may have life, and may have it
abundantly." The resurrection is the raising up of the
whole man--spirit, soul, and body--into the Christ
consciousness of life and wholeness. This Jesus did. The
tomb could not hold His redeemed perfected body temple.
Resurrection is accomplished by the quickening power of the
Holy Spirit.

Every time we rise to the realization of eternal,
indwelling life, making union with the Father-Mind, the
resurrection of Jesus takes place within us. All thoughts
of limitation and inevitable obedience to material law are
left in the tomb of materiality.

Jesus was born into the race thought so that He might
reconstruct it in conformity with the divine law. He thus
became our Way-Shower, our Saviour, our Helper.

Today the light of Truth is illumining my mind, and I rise
up in the majesty of my divine sonship and proclaim myself
to be the child of the Most High, free from all belief in
sin, sickness, and death.

I affirm: "In unity with Christ I realize that I am
resurrected into the life, light, and power of God."

Resting in God

40th Day of Lent, Saturday. Read Isaiah 11:1-10; 12:1-6.

After Jesus' crucifixion He was laid to rest in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea. Jesus represents the expression of the I AM identity. Arimathea represents an aggregation of thoughts of lofty character, a high state of consciousness in man. Joseph represents a state of consciousness in which we improve in character along all lines. We not only grow into a broader understanding but also we increase in vitality and substance. We are resting in God, and at the same time gathering strength for the power of greater demonstrations to follow.

A degree of cleansing, a wiping out of sense consciousness has been accomplished. By mentally reviewing our experiences, we recognize that nothing is really destroyed, but rather transmuted. Through faith we take stock of the progress we have made and find that we are getting a consciousness of radiant substance and of a higher life. Nothing is lost. When sense consciousness is raised to higher plane all that belongs to it is saved with it.

In reality the invisible cannot be seen, touched, or comprehended by the outer senses, yet in this realm a great and mighty work is being accomplished.

Today I realize that the leaven that "leaveneth the whole lump" is the Truth. The word of Truth within me is not idle, but quietly spreading from point to point. This process will continue until my whole consciousness is vitalized by the Holy Spirit.

I affirm: "I rest in the consciousness of eternal life and
strength, and I am made perfect."

Crucifixion

39th Day of Lent, Good Friday. Read John 19:1-42.

Jesus' crucifixion on Calvary was a final step in a work
that had been going on in Him for thirty-three years, and
when He arose He was entirely free from the carnal mind
with all its limitations. He had overcome all the carnal
tendencies which He had taken on that He might free the
race from its bo***ge.

The word crucifixion means the crossing out in
consciousness of certain errors that have become
fixed states of mind; it is the enactment by a master of
the final extinction of carnal mind, the giving up of the
whole personality in order that the Christ Mind may be
expressed in all its fullness. This is represented by the
crucifixion of Jesus.

Calvary means "the place of a skull." The carnal mind has
appropriated the brain and its skull and it is here that
the final battle is fought. Every time we give up error
there is a crucifixion.

The three days Jesus was in the tomb represent the three
steps in overcoming error. First, nonresistance; second,
the taking on of divine activity, or receiving the will of
God; third, the assimilation and fulfillment of the divine
will.

I deny the self that I may unite with the selfless. I give
up the mortal that I may attain the immortal. I dissolve
the thought of the physical body that I may realize the
spiritual body. This is a mental process with a physical
effect.

I affirm: "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me."

Gethsemane

38th Day of Lent, Thursday. Read Mark 14:32-42.

Gethsemane is symbolic of the struggle that takes place within the consciousness when Truth is realized as the one reality. It is a condition that man works through when he recognizes that God is all and that he must be willing to sacrifice all for God.

There are always deeply rooted error thoughts stored away in the subconsciousness, and on their own account they come forward to crucify the new unknown power, the so-called imposter, the in-dwelling Christ. The Christ is presumably captured by these thoughts, which try to carry out their aims in the darkness of the subconscious mind. But error can kill out only error. The Christ itself may be held in obscurity for a while, but it cannot be done away with. That which died on the Cross when Jesus was crucified was the personality; the Christ resurrects itself from the very depths of the subconsciousness, and error is hanged on the gallows it prepared for the doing away of the newborn spiritual ego.

This breaking up and passing away of old error states of mind and making ready for the new is a process in soul evolution of all those who are faithfully following Jesus. In all systems of thought concentration and spiritual attainment, the will, the executive faculty, plays the leading part. Therefore I prepare my consciousness for the reception of these new ideas. I say with Jesus, "Not my will, but thine, be done." I realize that new inspiration is flowing steadily into my consciousness as I affirm: "Old error thoughts are passed away. I am a new creature in Christ."

Holy Communion

37th Day of Lent, Wednesday. Read Luke 22:1-23.

"And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed,
and brake it; and he gave to the disciples, and said, Take,
eat; this is my body, And he took a cup, and gave thanks,
and gave to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; for this is
my blood of the covenant."

The first step in drinking of the blood and eating of the body of Jesus is to resolve this whole Scripture back into the primal ideas. The only way to appropriate these ideas is through the very highest activity of mind as in prayer.

The benefit of taking Holy Communion is the establishing of our acceptance of the Christ whose coming we celebrate within our mind and heart. The bread used in the churches symbolizes substance, which we consider the Lord's body, a body of spiritual ideas; and the wine used symbolizes His blood, which we consider life, or the circulation of divine ideas in our consciousness that will purify our mind and heart and renew our strength, freeing us from all corruption, sin, and evil, and bringing forth in us the abundant, unlimited life of God. Through
the appropriation and assimilation of the substance and life in our own consciousness, we blend our minds with the Father-Mind and there is a harmonizing of every fiber of our body with the Christ body, which is life and light. As our mind and heart are cleansed of untrue thoughts and beliefs, and as we feed on living ideas, our body takes on the life and light of our divinity, and eventually will become living light.

I affirm: "God's pure life and substance are constantly renewing and rebuilding His holy temple, my body."

The Fire of God

36th Day of Lent, Tuesday. Read Acts 2:1-21.

Fire represents the positive, affirmative state of mind, as
opposed to the negative or watery state.

The fire of God (Holy Spirit) is the Word of God in action.
It burns out the dross of negation in consciousness, and
reveals Christ. Tongues of fire represent the illumination
of thought, in demonstration of Spirit's presence and
power. The flame of fire symbolizes the light of intuition
that burns in our heart.

While the light of intuition (flame of fire) burns in our
heart, there is no loss of substance. In thinking there is
a vibratory process that uses up nerve tissue, but in the
wisdom that comes from the heart this "bush" or tissue is
not consumed. This is "holy ground," or substance in Divine
Mind. When man approaches this he must take off from his
understanding all limited thoughts of the Absolute ("put
off thy shoes from off thy feet").

Spiritual fire is a symbol of the destruction of evil and
error. The fire of Spirit never ceases its life-giving,
purifying glow. In it all error is burned up in
consciousness and the purified man then manifests this
"fire" as eternal life.

I have the assurance that I shall not be left partially
cleansed, that the purifying work will be complete. "Our
God is a consuming fire," also He is life, love, substance,
power, intelligence, Truth.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I affirm: "The Holy Spirit
flares its cleansing, purifying flames throughout soul and
body, and I am made whole and perfect."

The New Race

35th Day of Lent, Monday. Read Revelation 21:1-7; 22:1-7.

"These things shall be! a loftier race

Than e'er the world hath known shall rise

With flame of freedom in their souls,

And light of knowledge in their eyes.

* * *

"Nation with nation, land with land,

Unarmed shall live as comrades free:

In every heart and brain shall throb

The pulse of one fraternity."

The time is ripe for the advent of a new race, the advent
of the spiritualized man. This will be brought about, not
by a miracle or the fiat of God, but by the gradual
refinement of the man of the flesh into the man of Spirit.

The true overcomer is qualifying himself to become a member
of this superrace. It is well for such a one to cultivate
the childlike spirit and let go of all tense striving, even
for spiritual things. In the realization of protecting,
providing love, all the strain of fear and anxiety will be
removed and life in abundance will then find easy entrance
into the consciousness, bringing strength and health and
eternal youth and life.

Spiritual harmony in man depends largely on the right
relation of the inner and the outer realms of his
consciousness. Expression is the law of life. Whatever is
expressed becomes manifest. I realize that as an overcomer,
I am working also for the whole world, establishing a new
race consciousness, "new heavens and a new earth."

I affirm: "The redeeming law of God is awakening with me,
and I am a new man in Christ Jesus."
