Earning Truth:

Hostess Lisa Winton and Swami Jayananda will talk about the value of Divine Metaphysical and Mystical system in employing strategies designed to transform the human and reveal the Divine. In this podcast they will discuss the two obstacles to Divine understanding pointed out by Gilbert Carpenter, “in reality, what man has to overcome is neither a wolf nor a wolf in sheep’s clothing, but the illusion which causes him to believe either that he has some mighty evil power to destroy or else, because of apparent harmony, that God is in control, hence, he has nothing to do.” Listen as they explore the unfoldment in consciousness from belief, to faith, to understanding.   Welcome to the Voice of Yoga; we are talking consciousness! Join the Kriya Yoga Spiritual Advance to get the Light in your soul understand Divine Truth.

Notes:

1. What is the Truth? The Divine Principle is running a Perfect universe and we are either living in the rhythm of Spiritual Grace or out of synch with It. What are some things which can be done to attune to the beat of Eternal Life? Having a mental landscape to support the Divine Idea is helpful. Begin by learning the unfoldment of wisdom is a process, a dance we learn as we go.
2. Easy without the work; is the poisonous American fairy tale. Laziness is one of the major barriers to Enlightenment along with fear, ignorance, and selfishness.
   Martha Wilcox – Healing ” Mrs. Eddy says, “Remember that the letter and mental argument are only human auxiliaries to aid in bringing thought into accord with the spirit of Truth and Love which heals the sick and the sinner.” That is Science and Health, page 454. “This student had found the process for the healing of all diseases, the spiritualization of thought. She learned through this experience, as we all have to learn, that we have to earn our understanding of God, just as we have to earn our understanding of mathematics or music. Understanding does not mean the eradication of disease.
   If we think that we find health only as we eradicate disease, we perpetuate the disease. Our knowledge of the one God is our health and is what vanishes disease permanently. When truth was revealed to us through Christian Science that man is as perfect as God is perfect, there was also revealed to us the fact that Spiritual unfoldment is the healing process.
   Through the Science of healing, it is made evident that everything that exists is perfect now.” Gilbert Carpenter, Mary Baker Eddy, Her Spiritual Footsteps chapter 14, “It requires determination to behold the high goal and walk in its direction, whereas it seems easy to yield to the human tendency to commemorate the human footsteps which have little or no spiritual value, after they have been taken, since no two individuals ever take the same human footsteps in the journey to the Father.
   The deification of personality, an error which Mrs. Eddy stresses in no uncertain terms in Miscellany, on page 116, makes useless the Truth that comes from one so deified. It is idolatry, in that it endeavors to satisfy the divine with the products of the human. It personalizes Truth by making it seem the product of human fullness, instead of human emptiness. It makes Truth a development rather than a reflection, something that comes from within rather than from without. If Truth is ever assumed to be personal, or the product of the development of the individual, that places the ancient limitations on it that make it once more mortal, an error that must never be permitted to creep into the doctrine of Christian Science.”
3. Gilbert Carpenter, Mary Baker Eddy, Her Spiritual Footsteps chapter 14, “The Master said, “I have overcome the world.” Such a statement means little to uninspired thought, because Jesus referred to the mental victory, which none can comprehend but those spiritually enlightened. Yet, from the standpoint of divine Mind, the mental victory is the only one that has any real value, since, in reality, what man has to overcome is neither a wolf nor a wolf in sheep’s clothing, but the illusion which causes him to believe either that he has some mighty evil power to destroy or else, because of apparent harmony, that God is in control, hence, he has nothing to do.”
4. More from Gilbert Carpenter Chapter 15 “Mrs. Eddy was continually living more and more in the spiritual, until she outgrew the human. Therefore, we are led to conclude that the human should never be brought into the picture, except as a waning sense.
   After she discovered Christian Science, Mrs. Eddy’s experience might be said to have been a combination of Jesus’ two statements, “My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?” and “Into Thy hands I commend my spirit.” These two never united; for when one came, the other departed. One represented fear, and the other, spiritual confidence. One represented his struggle with animal magnetism, and the other, the spiritual supremacy with which he thundered forth the power and revelation of Truth. Mrs. Eddy’s whole effort was to maintain spiritual cause and to eliminate any opposite belief; it must also be ours. What flows in from a spiritual cause we must strive to retain, and what flows in from the human mind, or from the belief in a human cause, must be expunged. This rule applies to our comprehension of our Leader’s life.
   First in her experience came a dissatisfaction with the things of the flesh. Then came the recognition that true wisdom never flows from man, but flows into him from a divine source. Even in the Master’s experience, there is nothing recorded relative to the human side of his nature, that he continually struggled to overcome and eliminate.”
