Activity of the soul is possible only under the condition of inner freedom and independence. Humans are free, the master of their affect. Love is an action, the practice of a human power, which can be practiced only in freedom and never as the result of a compulsion. God will take what is meant for your harm and use it to your advantage. You will not only come out of the difficult times, you will also come out better, stronger, and increased, with twice the joy, peace and success. It is believed that in the 13^th century, God said: I have given you, Adam, neither a predetermined place nor a particular aspect nor any special prerogatives in order that you may take and possess these through your own decision and choice. The limitations on the nature of other creatures are contained within my prescribed laws. You shall determine your own nature without constraint from any barrier, by means of the freedom to whose power I have entrusted you. I have placed you at the center of the World so that from that point you might see better what is in the World. I have made you neither Heavenly nor Earthly, neither mortal nor immortal so that, like free and sovereign artificer, you might mold and fashion yourself into that form your yourself shall have chosen. #RandolphHarris 1 of 6

Some people think that it is painful to give, and that one should give; the virtue of them lies in the very act of acceptance of the sacrifice. For them, the norm that it is better to give than to receive means that it is better to suffer deprivation than to experience joy. However, giving have an entirely different meaning. Giving is the highest expression of potency. In the very act of giving, we experience our strength, wealth, and power. This experience of heightened vitality and potency fills us with joy, as long as we have the means to give. When we can, sharing with others can be more joyous than receiving not because it is deprivation, but because in the act of giving lies the expression of our aliveness. It is nice to be able to share gifts with others because it helps them to experience joy. All through the scriptures, the expectation is expressed by the Lord to believe, repent, obey the ordinances, walk in the light of Spirit, endure in faith. Also, manifest your personality to express civility, tender compassion, kindness and consideration, patience, forbearance and refusal to condemn. Show others the forgiveness and mercy that you would like to receive. Live peaceably with all people. Walk honestly, and be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. #RandolphHarris 2 of 6

Owe no one anything, but to love one another; for one that loves another has fulfilled the law. The power that creates exists before we use it. However, it can give us only that which we mentally take, and often our unbelief becomes our acceptance, our fear a misplaced faith. We bind ourselves by the very power which could as quickly free us. The day will come when after harnessing the ether, the winds, the tides, gravitation, we shall harness for God the energies of love. We should increase our receptivity and have a greater faith, if we wish to experience a larger degree of livingness. Our will of acceptance must be held up so that the outpouring of spirit may be measured into our individual experience. It is self-evident that the Creative Spirit must express itself in the terms of the instrument through which it flows. So far as we are concerned, this instrument is faith, belief, acceptance. We should lift our thought upon the cross of unity here, where the winds of God blow free, accept the divine givingness and the divine forgiveness, which are eternal in the nature of reality. By speaking and learning about God, we will be suffused with the warmth of his loving heart. #RandolphHarris 3 of 6

Certainly the day is here when, if we are to follow in God’s paths, we must take the weary, lonely, depressed, the troubled soul, and be lifted up and helped. How beautiful in the eyes of the Lord are the spiritually well, those who have been taken by the hand and lifted up and made spiritually whole. How beautiful in the eyes of the Lord are those who take the time to life the needy hand. Peace of mind only comes to us when we are spiritually healed. True joy comes from within. Freedom from a troubled soul is a worthy goal of all. All treatment is for the purpose of stimulating an interior awareness. Spiritual power awaits our recognition, and divine guidance our consent. The spirit flows through us as an outlet for its own self-expression. To dwell upon lack is to create it. To think of disease is to perpetuate it. To remain unhappy is to attract more unhappiness. Deliberately we must turn from that which hurts. The Law of the Mind states that thoughts held in mind produce after their kind. A single thought will neither make nor break a life; but a habit of thought will. One cannot think defeat and be victorious. The subconscious mind responds only to mental images. It does not matter if the image is self-induced or from the external World. #RandolphHarris 4 of 6

Healing comes through conversation to truth and adherence to correct principles. Therefore, the Law of the Mind exists in a formless state and can only take the form for us which our thought gives it. When we think within ourselves, we think upon it; when we direct our thought, we are directing it. It is in this way that our word becomes the law unto that thing where unto it is spoken. “For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being (Romans 7.22).” The manifestation of God is the light bringer of the World. His outpouring of spirit into creation has universal effects. God will shine upon the World of spirits, of thoughts, and hearts. Then the spiritual awakening and a new life appear, the power of the wonderful blessings of God becomes visible, and marvelous benefits are apparent. There is a further development of consciousness and society in this progressive revelation. We should sense this power which is at the point of our word, and believe and understand the spiritual nature of things. We must believe that love, goodness, truth and beauty are at the center of everything, therefore at the center of the person, the condition or situation which we designate in our treatment. We must believe that love is God, infinite, eternal and ever present. #RandolphHarris 5 of 6

We cannot escape love. We exist in love and are one with it. We live by and through love. Love motivates our entire thought, purpose, plan and action. Everything we see, we see with the eyes of love. Everything we hear, we hear with the ears of love. We see God everywhere, wherever we look, we see God, wherever we go, we find God. God manifestation is the theme of spiritual reality. It is that all embracing doctrine that describes the eternal purpose God has given humankind upon the Earth. God is one, he is a unity—that is one of the first principles of truth. God is the one source of all power and creation in the Universe and without God there is no life. Our business is God’s business and God’s business is our business, which is the business of life. We do not deny the physical Universe; we affirm that it is mind in form. The physical body exists that the soul may function on this plane. Body is not an unreality; quite the reverse. It is a divine and perfect reality when rightly understood. Many people are healed physically, mentally, and spiritually through faith in God. The healing of the troubled soul gives health and strength to those focused on righteous things. Purity, faith, hope, and charity are restored. #RandolphHarris 6 of 6
