The Hidden Power And Other Papers upon Mental Science. Thomas Troward

Чтение книги онлайн.

СКАЧАТЬ ourselves to be the children of God and "partakers of the Divine

      nature"; and when we thus realise that there is solid ground for

      _believing_ ourselves free, by force of this very belief we _become_

      free.

      The proper outcome of the study of the laws of spirit which constitute

      the inner side of things is not the gratification of a mere idle

      curiosity, nor the acquisition of abnormal powers, but the attainment of

      our spiritual liberty, without which no further progress is possible.

      When we have reached this goal the old things have passed away and all

      things have become new. The mystical seven days of the old creation have

      been fulfilled, and the first day of the new week dawns upon us with its

      resurrection to a new life, expressing on the highest plane that great

      doctrine of the "octave" which the science of the ancient temples traced

      through Nature, and which the science of the present day endorses,

      though ignorant of its supreme significance.

      When we have thus been made free by recognising our oneness with

      Infinite Being, we have reached the termination of the old series of

      sequences and have gained the starting-point of the new. The old

      limitations are found never to have had any existence save in our own

      misapprehension of the truth, and one by one they fall off as we advance

      into clearer light. We find that the Life-Spirit we seek is _in

      ourselves_; and, having this for our centre, our relation to all else

      becomes part of a wondrous living Order in which every part works in

      sympathy with the whole, and the whole in sympathy with every part, a

      harmony wide as infinitude, and in which there are no limitations save

      those imposed by the Law of Love.

      I have endeavoured in this short series of articles to sketch briefly

      the principal points of relation between Spirit in ourselves and in our

      surroundings. This subject has employed the intelligence of mankind from

      grey antiquity to the present day, and no one thinker can ever hope to

      grasp it in all its amplitude. But there are certain broad principles

      which we must all grasp, however we may specialise our studies in

      detail, and these I have sought to indicate, with what degree of success

      the reader must form his own opinion. Let him, however, lay firm hold of

      this one fundamental truth, and the evolution of further truth from it

      is only a question of time--that there is only One Spirit, however many

      the modes of its manifestations, and that "the Unity of the Spirit is

      the Bond of Peace."
