01-26-1968 William Blake once wrote these words to his friend, Thomas Butts: “Now I a fourfold vision see, And a fourfold vision is given to me: ‘Tis fourfold in my supreme delight And threefold in soft Beulah’s night And twofold always, may God us keep From single vision and Newton’s sleep!” Fourfold vision is to single vision as ordinary sight is to blindness. We all experience single and threefold vision. It’s twofold and fourfold…

Freedom
10-28-1968 When asked: “What is the greatest of all the commandments?” God answered: “Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.” Accept this commandment! Live by it and you will be free from all secondary causes. There is only one God. He is the father of us all who is above all, through all, and in all. He is a universally diffused individuality whose name forever and ever is I AM….
Read moreFulfillment of God’s Plan
I think you’re all aware that this is the most dramatic week in Christendom and yet I dare say that not an nth part of one percent of those who call themselves Christians really understand what it is all about. It’s the story of the fulfillment of God’s purpose. That’s the week, the triumphant march into Jerusalem, the crucifixion and then the resurrection. And it’s told as though it took place on earth. That’s how…
Read moreFundamentals
1953 From INTA Bulletin, “New Thought” summer 1953 With so vast a subject, it is indeed a difficult task to summarize in a few hundred words what I consider the most basic ideas on which those who seek a true understanding of metaphysics should now concentrate. I shall do what I can in the shape of three fundamentals. These fundamentals are: Self-Observation, Definition of Aim, and Detachment. The purpose of true metaphysics is to bring…
Read moreGenesis 27 Jacob Gets Isaac’s Blessing
1948 Our third interpretation is the story of Isaac and his two sons: Esau and Jacob. The picture is drawn of a blind man being deceived by his second son into giving him the blessing which belonged to his first son. The story stresses the point that the deception was accomplished through the sense of touch. “And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee that I may feel thee, my son, whether…
Read moreGifts Bestowed By God
You will find tonight very practical, and yet I assure you, very, very spiritual. Christianity has to be continually redeemed from secular history, for Jesus Christ is the human imagination. As Paul tells us in his First Letter to the Corinthians: “We have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might understand the gifts bestowed upon us by God.” Now tonight we’ll show you one of…
Read moreGod Became Man
02-24-1969 You are told that God became man that man may become God. You may think you are the man that God, as another, became, but I tell you: you are the God who became man, that man may become you! Because my visions which parallel scripture are accurate, I can boldly say that what I have just told you is true. In the 82nd Psalm we are the speaker, speaking to ourselves, saying:…
Read moreGod Given Talent
05-31-1971 Tonight is the Law. We are told in the book of Acts that: “God is not far from each one of us, for in Him we live, and move, and have our being.” (Acts 17:28) I would like to change that a little, and say to you that: God is never so far off as even to be near, for nearness implies separation. And God and Man are one. “Man is all imagination,…
Read moreGod is Known by Experience
03-10-1972 God is known by experience or not at all. I have experienced God. I can no more deny it than I can the humblest evidence of my senses; so I feel qualified to tell you how you are going to experience God. There is only God in the world. When you say, “I AM,” that’s God forever and forever. Tonight you will know why the term “Judeo-Christian” came to be hyphenated. The story…
Read moreGod Is Light
0-09-1967 We are told in the 1st Epistle of John, the 1st chapter: “This is the message we have received from him and proclaim to you, that God is light and in him there is no darkness at all.” Is this a figure of speech or a literal fact? I am telling you from experience: it is a literal fact, for God is light! There are three very firm statements made in scripture defining…
