This is a must-read book for who like to strengthen their
connection to infinite mind in order to enjoy a free-flow of abundance, personal
blessings, intuitive knowledge and a strong sense of well-being that results from
a solid connection. The author Ralph Waldo Trine, explains that there is only
one life, which he called Infinite Spirit, that underlies, supports and informs
all reality. Infinite Spirit takes on the characteristics we ourselves either
consciously or subconsciously assume. The results is that we wittingly or
unwittingly create ourselves as well as the circumstances and conditions of our
lives.
Quote:
“The word heaven means harmony. The word hell is from the
old English hell, meaning to build a wall around, to separate; to be helled was
to be shut off from. Now if there such a thing as harmony there must be that something
one can be right relations with; for to be in right relations with anything is
to be in harmony with it. Again, if there is such a thing as being helled, shut
off, separated from, there must be that something from which one is held, shut
off, or separated.”
THE following little motto "a resolve for
today" may contain a little aid for the following of the Way (from Chapter
13).
I AM
RESOLVED
I believe that my Master intended that I take His
teachings in the simple, frank, and open manner in which He gave them, out on
the hill-side, by the calm blue waters of the Galilean sea, and out under the
stars of heaven.
I believe that He knew what He meant, and that He meant
what He said, when He gave the substance of all religion and the duty of man as
love to God, and love and service for His fellow-man.
I am therefore resolved at this, the beginning of another
day, this fresh beginning of life, to go forth eager and happy and unafraid, in
that I can come into the same filial relations of love and guidance and care
with my Father in Heaven that my Master realized and lived, and going before
revealed to me.
I shall listen intently to know, and shall run with eager
feet to do my Father's will, calm and quiet within, knowing that I shall have
the Divine guidance and care, and that no harm therefore shall befall me; for I
am now living in God's life and there I shall live forever.
I am resolved in all human contact to meet petulance with
patience, questionings with kindness, hatred with love, eager always to do the
kindly deed that brings the joy of service "and that alone makes human
life truly human. I shall seek no advantage for myself to the detriment or the
harm of my neighbor, knowing that it is only through the law of mutuality that
I can fully enjoy what I gain" or can even be a man.
I am resolved therefore so to live this day that, when
the twilight comes and the night falls, I shall be not only another day's
journey nearer home; but I shall have lived a man's part and done a man's work
in the world and shall indeed deserve my Father's love and care.
