Truth is Known by the Truth Demonstrated

 

Human beings always live within relationship because the presence of God is always felt. Love moves the Sun and the other Stars. It is observed that love is not seen as a power that destroys human reason, but rather, as an emotional attitude that can be voluntarily produced. Love defines us; it is the answer to the problem of human existence. The Biblical God is the very antithesis of love. God loves his beings as they love him. Matthew 22.37 instructs us to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul, and with all your might” because without love, humanity could not exist for a day. Honorable love is clearly the attraction that a person has for a virtuous soul and is fused in the mind of the individual with philosophy itself, which is the love of wisdom. It is this honorable love that is the source of harmony and the preserver of the good. Many cultures may provide an unreality for addressing the stresses in life—through being the same as everyone else. Many people are afraid to be individuals. They consume the same goods, work at the similar jobs, adopt identical goals and that is fine if it is authentic. However, if we lack the courage to be individuals, we will never achieve love, as love is union under the condition of preserving one’s integrity. #RandolphHarris 1 of 5

Like religious faith, love is a practice. The power of love has the ability to heal discord and fear, and love is represented as a bond between God and human beings. Because we love God, he promises to rescue and protect us, for we acknowledge God. It is because of God’s love for the World that redemption is brought to humanity. Love is in essence the love of beauty and that beauty is nothing material; it is an ideal. Love is not taking out of insecurity; it starts in giving—of joy, interest, understanding, humor, sadness, of all expressions and manifestations of that which is alive in us. To love at all is to be engaged with humankind, with eyes open. There is a discipline, concentration, patience, and mastery in the art of love. The science of the mind is comparatively new, but the mental experience of the invisible Universe is antiquated. There is a theory that there is one infinite mind which of necessity includes all that is, and if we learn to have a spiritual sense of thing, we will discern our purpose in life. Through self-knowledge, we learn to look upon the eternal light and ultimately come to the complete love of God. The fruit of this love is knowledge of the divine. Conscious knowledge gives you the conscious control of the laws of nature, and there could be no advance in science without a conscious use of nature’s laws. #RandolphHarris 2 of 5

The more knowledge is inherent in a thing, the greater the love. It is important that we approach life with an understanding and with a definite intention in the mind of making a conscious use of our lives. It will become clear to see that thought is the tool of mind, and right ideas enforce the practical stream of consciousness that will produce a corresponding change in an objective situation. Like freedom, love demands courage. Love is a capacity we can develop within ourselves. To change the love we receive, we have to change our capacity to give love. Love matters and is a paramount force that allows us to feel sustained. In order to love someone else, we have to have the courage to love ourselves and develop them full capacity of our personality. Every person has inherent God-Power inside. And how can this God-Power be used other than through his thought? It is impossible for a person to act intelligent, unless one establishes the foundation of the spiritual Universe in the premise of one’s own thought, which will equip receptive individuals with an instrument that will allow us to change our own environment. The love of God is the force that holds the Universe together. #RandolphHarris 3 of 5

Our love is a pleasant sensation. Love is an art, just as living is an art; if we want to learn how to love, we must proceed in the same way we have proceeded when we want to learn any other art, such as music, photography, architecture, painting, carpentry, or the art of medicine or engineering. The process of learning art is usually divided into theory and mastery of the practice. If one wants to learn the art of medicine, one must know the facts about the human body, and about various ailments. When one has all the theoretical knowledge, it takes a great deal of practice until the results of theoretical knowledge and the results of practice are blended into intuition, which is the essence of mastery. Many people never master love because everything else is considered to be more important than love: success, prestige, money, and power. Most human energy is used for learning how to achieve everything thing, but love. Love will profit our soul. Our superior purpose is to love and resemble God. There is so much Divine Activity in the World and as we learn to be thankful, we will see it reflected in our lives more and more. By its very nature and by our very nature, God and love are compelled to appear to each one of us in the form of our belief. If we can accept this proposition it will be easy enough for one to see that the knowledge of the truth makes us free by aligning us with that which was never bound. #RandolphHarris 4 of 5

The Divine Creative Principle is already perfect, having neither confusion nor chaos within it. It has always been and will always remain exactly perfect. Our individual Universe shall be redeemed from its bondage in such degree as we become actively conscious of the truth of our being. We must use the law as a law of liberty. When we use ideas correctly, they can and must produce right conditions. All reality is personal. It is pluralistic: reality is a society of persons. It is theistic: God is the ultimate person, and as such, is the ground for all being and the creator of finite persons. The natural World is understood as an order within or as a function of the mind of God. Finite persons are created by the uncreated Person. Human persons are, therefore, centers of intrinsic value. And every day, physical sciences are more completely proving that the physical Universe in which we live is more like a gigantic thought than anything else, and our immediate World is part of this thought. This Body of God, which includes human’s body is a perfect, harmonious unit, and evil which binds humanity is not a principle within itself nor a thing of itself, and most certainly not a person, but merely a false system of thought. Knowledge and expression of good will annihilate that which denies good. Truth is known by the truth demonstrated. #RandolphHarris 5 of 5
