From The Science of Mind by Ernest Holmes: Finding the Christ - Who is Christ? Page 362
Christ . . . the Idea of Universal Sonship . . . the entire creation, both visible and invisible. There is One Father of all. This One Father, conceiving within Himself, gives birth to all the Divine ideas. The sum-total of all these ideas constitutes the Mystic Christ. Jesus understood his own nature. He knew that as the human embodies the Divine, it manifests the Christ Nature. Jesus never thought of himself as different from others. His whole teaching was that what he did, others could do. He located God and the Kingdom of Heaven within himself. He had plunged beneath the material surface of creation and found its Spiritual Cause. This Cause, he called God or the Father.
It is now nearly two thousand years since this wonderful man labored in the vineyard of human endeavor, pointing to a way to Eternal Reality. Centuries have passed; nations have risen, only to decline and fall. Science has solved many problems. Invention has harnessed subtle forces, and our land is filled with institutions of learning -- but the world is looking for another great teacher, one who will again show the hidden meaning of things . . . never such a searching after God and Reality. It seems as though all people are engaged in this search, and that no one can be satisfied until he has made the great discovery for himself; but to how few has come the real Truth -- the realization that God is indwelling in the soul and spirit of man! And yet this realization is what gave Jesus his wonderful power -- this, and a correct knowledge of spiritual Law in the mental world.
AFFIRMATION: I REST, KNOWING THE JOYOUS TRUTH THAT GOD ITSELF DWELLS IN MY SOUL AND SPIRIT, KNOWING THAT I MAY CALL UPON THIS INDWELLING STRENGTH, POWER, |
