02-13-1963 We are told by Paul in II Timothy 3:16: “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.” The word “righteousness” is described for us in the Encyclopedia Britannica as “right thinking.” We are also told there is a three-fold cord that is not quickly broken. It is built like the ark, on three levels: the physical level here, the psychological level, and…

Eschatology – The Doctrine Of The End 1969
01-20-1969 Eschatology is the doctrine of the last days. It is the dramatic end of human history and the beginning of eternal salvation. When you, an individual arrive at that point in time, human history and the appearance of the Son or man (who is God) come together. This will happen in you after the tribulation of human experience, and of that day and hour only the Father in you knows. Although God the…

04–05–1968 The word “disciple” means “learner”, and anyone who hears God’s pattern of salvation from one who has experienced it and believes, hungering to learn more, is a disciple. Tradition tells us Peter, James, and John were disciples. No, you are a disciple if you believe my words!Now, when I speak of Jesus, I am speaking of the pattern man, for “He has made known unto me the purpose of his will which he…

09-09-1968 Sit quietly and ask yourself who you are, where you are and what you are. Your answers will reveal your state of consciousness: your body of belief. Paul said, “We do not look to the outer things, but to the things unseen, for the outer things are transient, but the unseen things are eternal.” Your beliefs, seen by the mystic, are personified. They form a state, which completely controls your behavior. Any modification…

2/22/66 ___(??) that we may remember what I’ve tried to say through the months, or years for that matter, because we so quickly forget, and if we aren’t constantly reminded, off we go into all kinds of blind alleys. Since 1959 I have been in the unique position to share with you God’s plan of salvation. I did not know it before. I knew his law, taught it, practiced it, tried to live by it,…
Read moreEternity Within
10-04-1966 Tonight’s subject is a mystery to be known only by revelation. It is a secret that has been kept hidden from the beginning of time. Where there is no mystery, where there is no end from the beginning there is no challenge, no place for imagination or any room for faith or hope. But when it pleased God, in the fullness of time, to make it known to his apostles, those whom he…
Read moreEvery Natural Effect
Every natural effect has a spiritual cause and not a natural. A natural cause only seems. It is a delusion of the perishing, vegetable memory. We do not remember these moments in time when we imagined certain states. So when that imaginal state takes form so we can see it with the outer eye, we do not recognize our own harvest and deny that we had anything to do with these natural effects that…
Read moreExamine Yourselves
11-18-1968 In the 13th chapter of 2 Corinthians, Paul urged his people to “Examine yourselves to see whether you are holding to your faith. Test yourself! Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you? . . unless indeed you fail to meet the test!” Tonight we will discuss this test. I will start with a true story. One day a nurse and her little eight-year old charge were on the beach watching…

05-28-1971 To unravel the mystery of Christ from all the interpretations put upon it is quite a different task. We are up against all kinds of misunderstandings of the mystery. Most people believe that it is secular history, and the story has something to do with some historical occasion; and it isn’t. It is salvation history. The whole thing is taking place in you, the individual. It’s not taking place on the outside at…
Read moreFaith
07-22-1968 The Bible defines faith as “the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11:1, Revised Standard Version) What is seen is made out of things that do not appear. Faith does not give reality to things that are not seen. It is loyalty to reality that makes things appear. Can I see the facts the world sees and still believe in the unseen state? If I can remain…
