5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best of this genre
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 16 June 2015

I had been feeling a spiritual void for awhile and this book was just what I needed. Years ago I got started on my spiritual quest with a book called "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" by Joseph Murphy. Until now, that has continued to be my favorite, although I've read a multitude of books in this genre since including those of Wayne Dyer and Rhonda Byrne. This book has similar messages but more succinct and easier to understand. Butterworth uses parables from the Bible but more from an historical perspective rather than a literal one . He often references the teachings of Jesus but does not preach. What I liked best about it was that it is very spiritual but not religious. He dismisses the idea of an anthropomorphic, judgmental God and reminds us that the Divine Power is within and part of us all. It's a quick read and his messages really resonated with me.

Am buying this book for friends it's so good! To find out late in life that I've been pretty much going through life with the wrong set of attitudes towards healing of all kinds is sad, I'm grateful for the information it's bringing me now! If you know someone that's not big on prayer or God, this book may change their minds...and life!

Mr. Butterworth presents the practice of prayer in a way that is different than my Christian up-bringing. At 50+ I am now ready to read this. I certain would not have been able to understand, ponder, and reflect upon this book any earlier in my life. This book challenges my assumptions about prayer, God, and my view on the presence of God in me. I would recommend this book to persons who are dissatisfied with their religious practice, but are deeply spiritual. The author does an excellent job of positioning spirituality, faith, and belief in God so that any person, with any faith tradition, may read this and learn from it. This book is truly non-demominational for all persons...including those who question the presence of God in their world. I can say that those persons who are devotely entrenched in their religion may not like this book as the author makes assertions for which you may not care. So, I challenge all to read this with a VERY OPEN MIND. You will find this book either fits you perfectly, fits a little big that you have to grow into it, or you may chose to discard it because you don't think the author is "right". This is not about being right, it is about growing your relationship to the ONE. Enjoy! I certainly will be re-reading this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life changingReviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 26 March 2011

Eric Butterworth first wrote this book forty years ago, but do not let that put you off. I actually cannot believe I am the first to review this fantastic piece of work and it is an honour, as this book could be life changing for you - it has been for me.

To put this review into context, I am on a spiritual path and well read in the likes of the Tolles, Walsch's, Chopra's etc which are all great works, but none of them moved me liked this book.
Do not be put off by the title, this is not some self help book it is in fact putting the true interpretations of Jesus' teaching in a new light away from religious doctrine and religions that I'm afraid in today's society, do more to drive people away from god than towards.

When you truly appreciate the messages from Jesus they are beautiful, timeless and actually point to the divinity within each of us. You also see just how close Jesus teachings were to the messages of Buddhism and Hinduism which is love, compassion and the awakening of the divine consciousness within us.

I have never been interested in organised religion, but growing up in the west and I guess you could say within "Christian society", we are indoctrinated in Christianity to some extent almost subliminally. This book takes the veil off all that and bathes you in the true light of what Jesus was really saying and is a perfect complement to the likes of Eckhart Tolles work. In fact is through Eckhart Tolles recommendation that I found this book.

Do youself a huge favour and get this little book and I say to you "Namaskar !" (Read the book to find out)

The inspirational classic that hassold over 250,000 copies!In this classic work, Eric Butterworth sees the divine within us all to be a hidden and untapped resource of limitless abundance. Exploring this "depth potential," Butterworth outlines ways in which we can release the power locked within us and let our "light shine."


"There is only one way under the sun by which a man can achieve his 'Mt. Olympus' -- that is to say, achieve the realization and unfoldment of his own innate divinity -- and that is by bringing about a radical and permanent change for the better in his own consciousness," writes Butterworth.


Butterworth demonstrates that the existence of this divine dimension in each individual is the greatest discovery of all time. He explains the universality of such vital subjects as: how to succeed; how to pray; how to find confidence; how to overcome personal problems; and how to find healing. With insight and sensitivity, Butterworth opens new doors of self-knowledge, and outlines ways in which we can release the power within. (less)

Shelves: nf-spiritual
Originally written in 1968, recommended by Eckhart Tolle, this book has blown me away in pulling together many spiritual truths from various disciplines and illustrating them in the context of Christianity. Exposes many serious misconceptsion of Christian thought and interpretation of Jesus' teachingts. I've never highlighted or underlined a book more.


Bottom line: the divine is within each of us, greatly untapped, and we should stop looking for it elsewhere. It's not in church; it's not in a movie or a book; it's not in being good or being wise or achieving anything in particular. It's inside, waiting to be recognized and used appropriately.


This author is, of course, human too. Some of his points left me scratching my head,and the language was sometimes a bit stilted, but all in all, what he espoused was, for me, like tying up a lot of loose ends that had seemed to be unraveling lately. We need to rest in -- and trust -- the God within us and seek unity with Him through prayer and meditation.


This book's theme resonates with The Secret and As a Man Thinketh. It is not that Jesus challenges us with unattainable goals, but that He is constantly reminding us of unclaimed possibilities. (less)

I am always on the outlook for books that help my spirit to grow. This, along with other books by Eric Butterworth, has done that for me.


I have been a spiritual seeker for most of my life, but I had often come up empty-handed within my own religious background. What had been missing for me was the understanding that the power of God was already within me. Eric Butterworth will open the door to your own understanding of this tremendous power that lies within each and every one of you.


You must have an open mind if you are going to grow. As you read this book, you will be exposed to new ways of thinking about what you have learned from Christianity within you past. What you will discover is that there are very practical ways to harness the power of God and to make it manifest itself in ways you are seeking within your lives.


Eric Butterworth reminds me very much of Norman Vincent Peale and Dale Carnegie. He talks about letting go of self-defeating attitudes and embracing a positive outlook upon life. I love how he coins the phrase, The "Be Attitudes." It will give you a whole new perspective on Jesus' Sermon on the Mount.


Eric Butterworth writes in a manner that is easily digested. He offers practical methods in order to tap into that divine power within yourself. I can truly say that having read and practiced what has been in this and his other books has helped to transform my life. I now have faith that I will be living a life beyond my wildest dreams.

I really needed to hear the message in this book. The timing was perfect for me. It helped me to understand where Jesus fit into history and how religion can grow up about the messenger instead of about the message. It is a book that I will keep in my library and read again.

“Potentially, man is stronger than his fears and greater than his weakness. The role of teachers and preachers and philosophers is to help people, all people, to know this basic fact of life.”
- Eric Butterworth from Discover the Power Within You


“You may say, ‘But I am only human.’ This is the understatement of your life. You are not only human—you are also divine in potential. The fulfillment of all your goals and aspirations in life depends upon stirring up and releasing more of that divine potential. And there is really nothing difficult about letting this inner light shine. All we must do is correct the tendency to turn off our light when we face darkness.”
- Eric Butterworth from Discover the Power Within You


Eric Butterworth was a prolific author and Unity minister—one of the great spiritual teachers of the 20th century. He was also Maya Angelou’s spiritual teacher. And, Oprah says that this book is one of her all-time favorites.


Angelou wrote the foreword to the book. She says: “Butterworth was a twentieth-century Emerson. His mission was to help others realize their spiritual potential and to empower the world through spiritual growth. … He’s helped me to live more abundantly, and he can help you to live more abundantly, too… I hope one of [the things I will be remembered by] would be the encouragement to live the life you want to live. Live your life so that you will not leave too many things undone. Live the life you sing about. Live the life. That’s it.”


Amen. Are you leaving anything undone? What would the life “you sing about” look like? Live that life. Now!! Helping us do that by taking a fresh, spiritual perspective on Jesus’s life and teaching is what this book is all about.


Here are some of my favorite ideas from this fantastic book, which you can hear more about here:


1. Where to Discover the Divine (Hint: Look Within!)
2. The Great Decision
3. Niagara Falls, Discipline and Your Epic Power Plants
4. Go the Second Mile (and Beyond)
5. Heaven (+ Hell): The Time Is Now!


“No matter where you are on the ladder of life, no matter what you may be experiencing, no matter how many heartaches you have had or how many conflicts you have right now—there is more in you, there is a divinity in you, the Kingdom of God is within you. You can release your potential, for Jesus proved that you have it, and that you can release it. This is what Jesus really taught.”
- Eric Butterworth from Discover the Power Within You


Those are the very last words of the book. The Divine is within you. And me. And your loved ones. And everyone. Let’s see it. Let’s bow to it. Let’s be a demonstration of what life looks like when we let THAT Force guide our lives. We need you nice and bright and shiny NOW more than ever before!


I bow to the divine within you. Let’s be the change and change the world together.

Shelves: abrahamic, spiritual, zen
I finished DISCOVER THE POWER WITHIN YOU tonight, having spent three weeks in it after my sister Snippie recommended it. There are tones of Zen & Gnosticism, & heresy enough to rankle most Christian orthodoxies, so I found it stimulating. I frequently stopped reading to chase a thought online, the margins of my copy are dense with scholia, & I've ordered a Philipe Vernier essay collection. If you like your Christianity off the shelf, you may be offended. This book is for those who think for themselves. (less)

Definitely a more appealing way of interpreting christianity. Also uses a critical eye and asks critical questions. But the author loses me when the "proofs " are selected texts from the bible and selected interpretations which fit his narrative. ...more

Inspirational and eye-opening. As someone who has struggled reconciling truly authentic soul-based Christianity, based on the true message of Jesus, a deep inner spirituality of love and a higher-consciousness, with the cultish pseudo-faith of fundamentalists who have taken over modern day right-wing evangelical "Christian" ideology, this book is a breath of fresh air.


Butterworth, who lived from 1916-2003, was a minister and author who examined the message of Jesus Christ in a reasoned, methodical and rational manner, and in this book provides an intelligent, well-articulated exploration of the message of Jesus and explains how to apply what he truly taught to one's life. He starts with the question, "what did Jesus really teach?"


I've always been one to seek the larger picture and deeper meaning of events that happen and am able to synthesize analogies, metaphors and symbols into narratives that teach. A teacher can tell you in straight words to do this or don't do that, and you'll feel reproached and forget it quickly as you lick your wounds, but when someone wraps up a teaching in an anecdotal story, it carries greater depth and power, and it resonates with you much longer. This is what Jesus did. Every time. He didn't ask to be idolized or revered, but wanted humankind to realize our own depths and connection to God. Time and again he reiterated that message.


Butterworth examines what Jesus actually said, and takes the Sermon on the Mount as an example, where his point becomes much more clear. I would love to have been able to have a long, in-depth conversation with this author. I feel like his explanations speak to my soul.


Here are some gems:


"The history of man on the spiritual quest has been a strange odyssey. In his search for the "holy grail" man has looked everywhere and in vain, but he has failed to look within himself. Occasionally, a prophet came, telling of the world within. But instead of following him into the deeper experience, men invariably made a god of the prophet - worshiped him and built monuments to him. They then trapped themselves in a religious practice that had no within. How many times has this happened? How many religions are there in the world?"


"Jesus stressed a spiritual philosophy that is you-centered. You must come to believe about yourself what Jesus believed about himself."


"Religion has constantly given man the promise of salvation in an afterlife. But it has sadly neglected giving him any practical, usable knowledge by which he can live this life in health and success and happiness. Neither are the great spiritual revivals any real answer to the long-term needs of man and society. The revival meeting stirs up renewed faith in the "Savior of the world," calling attention again and again to the divinity of Jesus. But the world needs a society of saviours, individuals who come alive with the divine forces within them, and who become a saving influence by letting the light of their own divinity shine bright and clear."


"The cross has become the symbol of depraved man, vindictive God, and unjust punishment. Where is there anything of the divine in this story, or anything worthy of our worship or emulation? Using the cross as the symbol of Christianity is the denial of the central theme of Jesus teachings: The Divinity of Man."


Revealing and worthwhile read. (less)

This book is one of the most insightful and inspirational volumes written about human beings and the meaning of life on earth! I loved this book from the first few paragraphs I read on my kindle. About half way through I had to also add the paperback version to my library of treasured books about spiritual condition of mankind.


Eric Butterworth was such a modern mystic and I so wish I had learned of him, his sermons, and this excellent book much sooner than I did, but the wait was well worth it. I can't recommend this book enough for Christian believers, skeptics, and all sincere searchers for the meaning of life.


The author beautifully illustrates that the religions "about" Jesus, the Christ, are only the beginning to our necessary search for the kingdom of Heaven within each of us. Read this book with an open mind and the spirit of Truth will bless you with the peace of understanding.

The forward was written by Maya Angelou in 2008 for this 40th Anniversary Edition of a classic written by Eric Butterworth. I read this book as part of a book study Spirit Group of Unity Church. I had not realized the connection between Butterworth and Angelou before this. The power of thought and the ability to recognize the divine in all, as personal consciousness is raised, is a central theme. I found it inspiring to discuss this with our online group as we worked our way through the chapters. Butterworth's metaphysical interpretation of many familiar Bible stories was very thought provoking. This is not a typical book for me to read, but I am often curious and eager to find wisdom in a variety of genres. (less)

Lessons In Truth: 8] Spiritual Understanding | Truth Unity

Lessons In Truth: 8] Spiritual Understanding | Truth Unity

Lessons In Truth: Spiritual Understanding

Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,
And the man that getteth understanding,
And the profit thereof than fine gold.
She is more precious than rubies:
And none of the things thou canst desire are to be compared unto her.
Length of days is in her right hand;
In her left hand are riches and honor.
Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace.
She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her:
And happy is every one that retaineth her. . .
With all thy getting get understanding. 
--
Prov. 3:13-18; 4:7



1. What is this understanding on the getting of which depends so much? Is it intellectual lore, obtained from delving deep into books of other men's rocks (geology), or stars (astronomy), or even the human body (physiology)? Nay, verily, for when did such knowledge ever insure life and health and peace, ways of pleasantness, with riches and honor?

2. Understanding is a spiritual birth, a revelation of God within the heart of man. Jesus touched the root of the matter when, after having asked the apostles a question that was answered variously, according to the intellectual perception of the men, He asked another question to which Peter gave a reply not based on external reasoning, but on intuition. He said to Peter, "Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 16:17).

3. You may have an intellectual perception of Truth. You may easily grasp with the mind the statement that God is the giver of all good gifts -- life, health, love -- just as people have for centuries grasped it. 
Or you may go further, and intellectually see that God is not only the giver, but the gift itself; that He is life, health, love, in us. 
But unless Truth is "revealed. . .unto thee" by "my Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 16:17), it is of no practical benefit to you or to anyone else.

4. This revelation of Truth to the consciousness of a person is spiritual understanding.

5. You may say to yourself, or another may say silently to you, over and over again, that you are well and wise and happy. 
On the mental plane a certain "cure" is effect, and for a time you will feel well and wise and happy. 
This is simply a form of hypnotism, or mind cure. 
  • But until, down in the depths of your being, you are conscious of your oneness with the Father
  • until you know within yourself that the spring of all wisdom and health and joy is within your own being, 
  • ready at any moment to leap forth at the call of your need, 
  • you will not have spiritual understanding.

6. All the teachings of Jesus were for the purpose of leading men into this consciousness of their oneness with the Father. He had to begin at the external man -- because people then as now were living mostly in external things -- and teach him to love his enemies, to do good to others, and so forth. 
These were external steps for them to take -- a sort of lopping off of the ends of the branches; but they were steps that led on up to the place of desire and attainment where finally the Master said, 
"I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now" (John 16:12).

7. He told them of the Comforter that should be in them, and which should teach them all things, revealing the "deep things of God" (I Cor. 2:10) to them, showing them things to come. In other words, He told them how they might find the kingdom of heaven within themselves -- the kingdom of love, of power, of life.

8. The coming of the Comforter to their hearts and lives, giving them power over every form of sin, sickness, sorrow, and over even death itself, is exactly what we mean by understanding or realization. The power that this consciousness of the indwelling Father gives is for us today as much as it was for those to whom the Nazarene spoke. Aye, more; for did He not say, "He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do" (John 14:12)?

9. All the foregoing lessons have been stepping-stones leading up to the point where man may realize that ever-abiding inner presence of the Most High, God. "Know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you?" (I Cor. 6:19).

10. I cannot reveal God to you. You cannot reveal God to another. If I have learned, I may tell you, and you may tell another, how to seek and find God, each within himself. But the new birth into the consciousness of our spiritual faculties and possibilities is indeed like the wind that "bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth; so is everyone that is born of the Spirit" (John 3:8). The new birth takes place in the silence, in the invisible.

11. Intellectual lore can be bought and sold; understanding, or realization, cannot. A man, Simon by name, once attempted to buy the power that spiritual understanding gives, from another who possessed it. "But Peter said unto him, Thy silver perish with thee, because thou hast thought to obtain the gift of God with money. Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right before God" (Acts 8:20,21).

12. Nor will crying and beseeching bring spiritual understanding. Hundreds of people have tried this method, and have not received that for which they earnestly but ignorantly sought. They have not received, because they did not know how to take that which God freely offered. Others have sought with selfish motives this spiritual understanding, or the power it would give them. "Ye ask, and receive not, because you ask amiss, that ye may spend it in your pleasures" (or to serve selfish ends) (James 4:3).

13. Understanding, or realization of the presence of God within us, is as Peter said, "the gift of God" (John 4:10). It comes to any and all who learn how to seek it aright. 
Emerson said, 
  • "This energy (consciousness of God in the soul) does not descend into individual life on any other condition than entire possession. 
  • It comes to the lowly and simple; it comes to whomsoever will put off what is foreign and proud; 
  • it comes as insight; it comes as serenity and grandeur. 
  • When we see those whom it inhabits, we are apprised of new degrees of greatness. 
  • From that inspiration (consciousness) the man comes back with a changed tone.
  •  He does not talk with men with an eye to their opinion. He tries them. . . .But the soul that ascends to worship the great God is plain and true; 
  • has no rose color, no fine friends. . .no adventures; does not want admiration; dwells in the hour that now is"

14. "And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart" (Jer. 29:13). In that day when, more than riches and honor and power and selfish glory, you shall desire spiritual understanding, in that day will come to you the revelation of God in you, and you will be conscious of the indwelling Father, who is life and strength and power and peace.

15. One may so desire a partial revelation of God within himself, a revelation along one line -- as, for instance, that of health -- as to seek it with all his heart. And if he has learned how to take the desired gift, by uncompromising affirmation that it is his already, he will get understanding, or realization, of God as his perfect health. So with any other desired gift of God. This is a step in the right direction. It is learning how to take God by faith for whatever one desires. But in the onward growth, the time will come to every man when he will hear the divine voice within him saying, "Come up higher," and he will pass beyond any merely selfish desires that are just for his own comfort's sake. He will desire good that he may have the more to give out, knowing that as good (God) flows through him to others it will make him "every whit whole" (John 7:23).

16. In the beginning of Solomon's reign as king over Israel, the divine Presence appeared to him in a dream at night, saying: "Ask what I shall give thee" (I Kings 3:5). And Solomon said: "Give thy servant therefore an understanding heart" (I Kings 3:9).

17. "And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.

18. "And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life, neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies, but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern justice;

19. "Behold, I have done according to thy word: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there hath been none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.

20. "And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches and honor, so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee, all thy days" (I Kings 3:10-13).

21. Thus in losing sight of all worldly goods and chattels, all merely selfish ends, and desiring above all things an understanding heart (or a spiritual consciousness of God within him as wisdom, life, power), Solomon received all the good or good things included, so that there was none among the kings like unto him in worldly possessions. "Seek ye first his kingdom (consciousness), and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you" (Matt. 6:33). "For whosoever would save his life (the things of his life) shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake (that is willing to forget the so-called good things of this life for the Truth's sake, choosing before all things the finding of God in his own soul) shall find it" (Matt. 16:25).

22. When you first consciously desire spiritual understanding, you do not attain it at once. You have been living in the external of your being and have believed yourself cut off from God. 
  • Your first step after coming to yourself like the prodigal son is to say as he did, "I will arise and go to my Father" (Luke 15:18) to turn your thoughts away from the external seeming toward the central and real; 
  • to know intellectually that you are not cut off from God, and that He forever desires to manifest Himself within you as your present deliverance from all suffering and sin. 
  • Just as Jesus taught, we begin our journey toward understanding by cutting off the branches of our selfishness. We try to love instead of to hate. Instead of avenging ourselves, we begin to forgive, even if it costs us great mental effort. We begin to deny envy, jealousy, anger, sickness, and all imperfection, and to affirm love, peace, and health.

23. Begin with the words of Truth that you have learned, and which perhaps you have as yet only comprehended with the intellect. You must be willing to take the very first light you receive and use it faithfully, earnestly, to help both yourself and others. Sometimes you will be almost overcome by questions and doubts arising in your own mind when you are looking in vain for results. But you must with effort pass the place of doubt; and some day, in the fullness of God's time, while you are using the words of Truth, they will suddenly be illumined and become to you the living word with you -- "the true light, even the light which lighteth every man, coming into the world" (John 1:9). 
You will no longer dwell in darkness, for the light will be within your own heart; and the word will be made flesh to you; that is, you will be conscious of a new and more divine life in your body, and a new and more divine love for all people, a new and more divine power to accomplish.

24. This is spiritual understanding. This is a flash of the Most High within your consciousness. "The old things are passed away, behold, they are become new" (II Cor. 5:17). this will be the time when you will not "talk with men with an eye to their opinion." This is when you will suddenly become plain and true; when you will cease to desire admiration; when all words of congratulation from others on your success will fill you with an inexpressible sense of humility; when all mere compliments will be to you as "sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal" (I Cor. 13:1). Truly, for that inspiration a man comes back with a changed tone!

25. With spiritual understanding comes new light on the Scriptures. The very Spirit of truth, which has come to bide with you forever in your consciousness, takes the deep things of God and reveals them to you. You will no longer run to and fro, seeking teachers or healers and rely solely on them for guidance. You will gladly let them help you reach the point where you will know that the living light, the living word within you, will "guide you into all the truth" (John 16:13).

26. What we need to do is to seek the revelation of the living Christ within our own being, each for himself, knowing that only this divinity come forth can make us powerful and happy.

27. Every person in his heart desires, though he may not yet quite know it, this new birth into a higher life, into spiritual consciousness. Everyone wants more power, more good, more joy. And though to the unawakened mind it may seem that it is more money as money, or more goods that he wants, it is, nevertheless, more of good (God) that he craves; for all good is God.

28. Many today are conscious that the inner hunger cannot be satisfied with worldly goods, and are with all earnestness seeking spiritual understanding, or consciousness, of an immanent God. They have been seeking long, with a great desire of unselfishness and a feeling that when they have truly found God they will begin to do for others. Faithful service for others hastens the day-dawning for us. The gifts of God are not given in reward for faithful service, as a fond mother gives cakes to her child for being good; nevertheless they are a reward, inasmuch as service is one of the steps that leads up to the place where all the fullness of God awaits men. And while spiritual understanding is in reality a "gift of God," it comes to us more or less quickly in proportion as we use the light that we already have.

29. I believe that too much introspection, too much of what people usually call "spiritual seeking," is detrimental rather than helpful to the end desire -- spiritual growth. "Spiritual seeking" is a sort of spiritual selfishness, paradoxical as this may seem. From the beginning to the end, Jesus taught the giving of what one possesses to him who has none.

30. "Is not this the fast that I have chosen (said the spirit of God through the prophet Isaiah): to loose the bond of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free?

31. "Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him.

32. "Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy healing shall spring forth speedily. . . Then shalt thou call, and Jehovah will answer. . .Here I am.

33. "And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in darkness, and thine obscurity be as the noonday;

34. "And Jehovah will guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in dry places, and make strong thy bones; and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not"
(Isa. 58:6-11).

35. Stagnation is death. A pool cannot be kept clean and sweet and renewed unless there is an outlet as well as an inlet. It is our business to keep both the inlet and outlet open, and God's business to keep the stream flowing in and through us. Unless you use for the service of others what God has already given to you, you will find it a long, weary road to spiritual understanding.

36. We cry out and strain every nerve to obtain full understanding, just as sometimes we have heard earnest people, but people wholly ignorant of divine laws, beseech God for the full baptism of "the Holy Spirit" (Luke 3:16) as in the day of Pentecost. Jesus said, "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now" (John 16:12). We grow by using for others the light and knowledge we have. We expand, as we go on step by step in spiritual insight, until in the fullness of time -- which means when we have grown spiritually up to the place where God sees that we are able to bear the many things -- we receive the desire of our hearts, understanding.

37. Seek your own Lord. Take the light as it is revealed to you, and use it for others; and prove for yourselves whether there be truth in this prophecy of Isaiah, that "then shall thy light rise in darkness, and thine obscurity be as the noonday" (Isa. 58:10) and "then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy healing shall spring forth speedily" (Isa. 58:8).

Lessons In Truth: 7] Personality and Individuality | Truth Unity

Lessons In Truth: ] Personality and Individuality | Truth Unity



Lessons In Truth: Personality and Individuality


1. One of the greatest beauties of the Sermon on the Mount is the childlike simplicity of its language. Every child, every grown person, be he ever so uneducated, if he can read at all can understand it. Not a word in it requires the use of a dictionary; not a sentence in it that does not tell the way so plainly that "the wayfaring men, yea, fools, shall not err therein" (Isa. 35:8). And yet the Nazarene was the fullest, most complete manifestation of the one Mind that has ever lived; that is to say, more of the wisdom that is God came forth through Him into visibility than through anyone else who has ever lived. The more any person manifests the true wisdom, which is God, the more simple are his ways of thinking and acting; the more simple are the words through which he expresses his ideas. The greater the truth to be expressed, the more simple can it (and should it) be clothed.

2. Emerson said, "Converse with a mind that is grandly simple, and all literature looks like word-catching."

3. In the metaphysical literature of today a good many terms are used that are very confusing to those who have not taken a consecutive course of lessons on the subject. It seems to me wise to give here a clear, simple explanation of two words frequently used, so that even the most unlearned may read understandingly.

4. The words personality and individuality present distinct meanings to the trained mind, but by the untrained mind they are often used interchangeably and apart from their real meanings.

5. Personality applies to the human part of you -- the person, the external. Your personality may be agreeable or disagreeable to others. When you say that you dislike anyone, you mean that you dislike his personality -- that exterior something that presents itself from the outside. It is the outer, changeable man, in contradistinction to the inner or real, man.

6. Individuality is the term used to denote the real man. The more God comes into visibility through a person the more individualized he becomes. By this I do not mean that one's individuality is greater when one is more religious. Remember, God is wisdom, intelligence, love, power. The more pronounced the manner in which any one of these qualities -- or all of them -- comes forth into visibility through a man, the greater his individuality.

7. Emerson was a man of large individuality, but retiring personality. He was grandly simple. He was of a shrinking, retiring nature (or personality). But just in proportion as the human side of him was willing to retire and be thought little of, did the immortal, the God in him, shine forth in greater degree.

8. John the Baptist represents the illumined intellect, the highest development of human conscioussness. We may think of him as standing for personality, whereas Jesus typifies the divine self or individuality. John, recognizing the superiority of Jesus, said, "He must increase, but I must decrease" (John 3:30).

9. One's individuality is that part of one that never changes its identity. It is the God self. It is that which distinguishes one person from another. 
One's personality may become like that of others with whom one associates. Individuality never changes.

10. Do not confound the terms. One may have an aggressive, pronounced personality, or external man, which will, for a time, fight its way through obstacles and gain its point. 
But a pronounced individuality never battles; it is never puffed up; it is never governed by likes and dislikes and never causes them in others; it is God come forth in greater degree through a man, and 
all mere personality instinctively bends the knee before it in recognition of its superiority.

11. We cultivate individuality by listening to the "still small voice" (I Kings 19:12) down deep within us, and boldly following it, even if it does make us different from others, as it surely will. 
We cultivate personality, in which live pride, fear of criticism, and all manner of selfishness, by listening to the voices outside ourselves and by being governed by selfish motives, instead of by the highest within us. 
Seek always to cultivate, or bring into visibility, individuality, not personality. 
In proportion as one increases, the other must decrease.

12. Whenever we fear a man, or shrink before him, it is because his personality, being the stronger, overcomes ours. 
Many timid persons go through life always feeling that they are inefficient, that others are wiser or better than they. 
They dread to meet a positive, self-possessed person; and when in the presence of such a one, they are laid low, just as a field of tall wheat is after a fierce windstorm has swept across it. They feel as though they would like to get out of sight forever.

13. All this, dear timid ones, is not because your fellow really is wiser or better than you, but because his personality -- the external man -- is stronger than yours. 
You never have a similar feeling in the presence of strong individuality. Individuality in another not only produces in you an admiration for its superiority, but it also gives you, when you are in its presence, a strange new sense of your own inherent possibilities, a sense that is full of exhilaration and comfort and encouragement to you. 
This is because a pronounced individuality simply means more of God come forth into visibility through a person, and by some mind process it has power to call forth more of God through you.

14. If you want to know how to avoid being overcome and thrown off your feet by the strong personality of others, I will tell you:

15. Always remember that personality is of the human and individuality is of God. Silently affirm your own individuality, your oneness with God, and your superiority to personality. Can God fear any person?

16. If you are naturally inclined to be timid or shrinking, practice of the following will help you overcome it. As you walk down the street and see anyone coming toward you, even a stranger to you, silently affirm such words as: "I am a part of God in visibility; I am one with the Father; this person has no power over me, for I am superior to all personality." Cultivate this habit of thinking and affirming whenever you approach any person, and you will soon find that no personality, however strong and aggressive, has the power to throw you out of the most perfect poise. You will be self-possessed because God-possessed.

17. Some years ago I found myself under a sense of bondage to a strong, aggressive personality with whom, externally, I had been quite intimately associated for several months. I seemed to see things through another's eyes; and while I was more than half conscious of this, yet I could not seem to throw it off. This personality was able, with very few words, to make me feel as if all that I said or did was a mistake, and that I was a most miserable failure. I was always utterly discouraged after being in this presence, and felt that I had no ability to accomplish anything.

18. After vainly trying for weeks to free myself, one day I was walking along the street, with a most intense desire and determination to be free. Many times before, I had affirmed that this personality could not affect or overcome me, but with no effect. This day I struck out farther and declared (silently of course), "There is no such personality in the universe as this one," affirming it again and again many times. After a few moments I began to feel wondrously lifted, and as if chains were dropping off. Then the voice within me urged me on a step farther to say, "There is no personality in the universe; there is nothing but God." After a short time spent in vigorously using these words, I seemed to break every fetter. From that day to this, without further effort, I have been as free from any influence of that personality as though it had never existed.

19. If at any time the lesser affirmation of Truth fails to free you from the influence of other minds, try this more sweeping one, "There is no personality in the universe; there is nothing but God," and you are bound to be made free.

20. The more you learn to act from the "still small voice" within you, the stronger and more pronounced will be individuality in you.

21. If you are inclined to wilt before strong personalities, always remember that God has need of you, through whom, in some special manner, to manifest Himself -- some manner for which He cannot use any other organ -- what need have you to quail before any person, no matter how important?

22. However humble your place in life, however unknown to the world you may be, however small your capabilities may seem at present to you, you are just as much a necessity to God in His efforts to get Himself into visibility as is the most brilliant intellect, the most thoroughly cultured person in the world. Remember this always, and act from the highest within you.

Lessons In Truth: Faith

"Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it." -- Mark 11:23




"Science was faith once." -- Lowell

1. The word faith is one that has generally been thought to denote a simple form of belief based mostly on ignorance and superstition. It is a word that has drawn forth something akin to scorn from so-called "thinking people" -- the people who have believed that intellectual attainment is the highest form of knowledge to be reached. "Blind faith" they have disdainfully chosen to call it -- fit only for ministers, women, and children, but not a practical thing on which to establish the everyday business affairs of life.

2. Some have prided themselves on having outgrown the swaddling clothes of this blind, unreasoning faith, and having grown to the point, as they say, where they have faith only in that which can be seen or intellectually explained.

3. The writer of The Epistle to the Hebrews, obviously a most intellectual man, and a learned theologian, before writing at length on the nature of faith and the marvelous results attending it, tried to put into a few words a condensed definition of faith:

4. "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Heb. 11:1 A.V.).

5. In other words, faith takes right hold of the substance of the things desired, and brings into the world of evidence the things that before were not seen. Further speaking of faith, the writer said, "Things which are seen were not made of things which do appear" (Heb. 11:3 A.V.); that is, things that are seen are not made out of visible things, but out of the invisible. In some way, then, we understand that whatever we want is in this surrounding invisible substance, and faith is the power that can bring it out into actuality to us.

6. After having cited innumerable instances of marvelous things brought to pass in the lives of men, not by their work or efforts, but by faith, the Epistle says,

7. "And what shall I more say? for the time will fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah; of David and Samuel and the prophets: who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, waxed mighty in war, turned to flight armies of aliens. Women received their dead by a resurrection (Heb. 11:32-35).

8. Do you want any more power or any greater thing than is here mentioned -- power to subdue kingdoms, to stop the mouths of lions, quench fire, turn to flight whole armies, raise the dead to life again? Even if your desires exceed this, you need not despair or hesitate to claim their fulfillment, for One greater than you, One who knew whereof He spoke, said: "All things are possible to him that believeth" (Mark 9:23).

9. Until very recently, whenever anyone has spoken of faith as the one power that can move mountains, we have always felt a sort of hopeless discouragement. While we have believed that God holds all good things in His hand, and is willing to be prevailed upon to dole them out according to our faith, yet how could we, even by straining every nerve of our being toward faith, be sure that we had sufficient to please Him? For does it not say, "Without faith it is impossible to be well-pleasing unto him" (Heb. 11:6)?

10. From the moment we began to ask, we began to question our ability to reach God's standard of faith on which hung our fate. We also began to question whether, after all, there is any such power in faith to prevail with the Giver of "every good gift" so as to draw out of Him something that He had never let us have before.

11. Viewing faith in this light, there is not much wonder that logical minds have looked on it as a sort of will-o'-the-wisp, good enough for women and children to hang their hopes on, but not a thing from which any real, definite results could ever be obtained -- not a thing that the business world could rest upon.

12. There is a blind faith, to be sure. (Someone has truthfully said that blind faith is better than none at all; for, if held to, it will get its eyes open after a time.) But there is also an understanding faith. Blind faith is an instinctive trust in a power higher than ourselves. Understanding faith is based on immutable principle.

13. Faith does not depend on physical facts, or on the evidence of the senses, because it is born of intuition, or the Spirit of truth ever living at the center of our being. Its action is infinitely higher than that of intellectual conclusions; it is founded on Truth.

14. Intuition is the open end, within one's own being, of the invisible channel ever connecting each individual with God. Faith is, as it were, a ray of light shot out from the central sun -- God -- one end of which rays comes into your being and mine through the open door of intuition. With our consciousness we perceive the ray of light, and though intellect cannot grasp it, or give the why or wherefore thereof, yet we instinctively feel that the other end of the ray opens out into all there is of God (good). This is "blind" faith. It is based on Truth, but a Truth of which everyone is not at the time conscious. Even this kind of faith will, if persisted in, bring results.

15. What is understanding faith? There are some things that God has so indissolubly joined together that it is impossible for even Him to put them asunder. They are bound together by fixed, immutable laws; if we have one of them, we must have the other.

16. This is illustrated by the laws of geometry. For instance, the sum of the angles of a triangle is equal to two right angles. No matter how large or small the triangle, no matter whether it is made on the mountaintop or leagues under the sea, if we are asked the sum of its angles we can unhesitatingly answer, without waiting an instant to count or reckon this particular triangle, that it is just two right angles. This is absolutely certain. It is certain, even before the triangle is drawn by visible lines; we can know it beforehand, because it is based on unchangeable laws, on the truth or reality of the thing. It was true just as much before anyone recognized it as it is today. Our knowing it or not knowing it does not change the truth. Only in proportion as we come to know it as an eternal truth can we be benefited by it.

17. It is also a simple truth that one plus one equals two; it is an eternal truth. You cannot put one and one together without two resulting. You may believe it or not; that does not alter the truth. But unless you do put the one and one together you do not produce the two, for each is eternally dependent on the other.

18. The mental and spiritual world or realms are governed by laws that are just as real and unfailing as the laws that govern the natural world. Certain conditions of mind are so connected with certain results that the two are inseparable. If we have the one, we must have the other, as surely as the night follows the day -- not because we believe some wise person's testimony that such is the case, not even because the voice of intuition tells us that it is so, but because the whole matter is based on laws that can neither fail nor be broken.

19. When we know something of these laws, we can know positively beforehand just what results will follow certain mental states.

20. God, the one creative cause of all things, is Spirit, and visible to spiritual consciousness, as we have learned. God is the sum total of all good. There is no good that you can desire in your life which, at its center, is not God. God is the substance of all things -- the real thing within every visible form of good.

21. God, the invisible substance out of which all visible things are formed, is all around us waiting to come forth into manifestation.

22. This good substance all about us is unlimited, and is itself the supply of every demand that can be made; of every need that exists in the visible or natural world.

23. One of the unerring truths in the universe (by "universe" I mean the spiritual and natural worlds combined) is that there is already provided a lavish abundance for every human want. In other words, the supply of every good always awaits the demand. Another truth is that the demand must be made before the supply can come forth to fill it. To recognize these two statements of Truth and to affirm them are the whole secret of understanding faith -- faith based on principle.

24. Let us square this by the definition of faith, given earlier in the lesson: "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Heb. 11:1). Faith takes hold of the substance of the thing hoped for, and brings into evidence, or visibility, the things not seen.

25. What are usually called the promises of God are certain eternal, unchangeable truths that are true whether they are found in the Bible or in the almanac. They are unvarying statements of truth that cannot be altered. A promise, according to Webster, is something sent beforehand to indicate that something unseen is at hand. It is a declaration that gives the person to whom it is made the right to expect and claim the performance of the act.

26. The Nazarene recognized the unchangeable truth that, in the unseen, the supply of every want awaits demand. When He said, "Ask, and ye shall receive" (John 16:24), He was simply stating an unalterable truth. He knew that the instant we ask or desire (for asking is desire expressed) we touch a secret spring which starts on its way toward us the good we want. He knew that there need not be any coaxing or pleading about it; that our asking is simply our complying with an unfailing law which is bound to work; there is no escape from it. Asking and receiving are the two ends of the same thing. There is a very close connection between them.

27. Asking springs from desire to possess some good. What is desire? Desire in the heart is always God tapping at the door of your consciousness with His infinite supply -- a supply that is forever useless unless there be demand for it. "Before they call, I will answer" (Isa. 65:24). Before ever you are conscious of any lack, of any desire for more happiness, for fullness of joy, the great Father-Mother heart has desired them for you. It is He in you desiring them that you feel, and think it is only yourself (separate from Him) desiring them. With God the desire to give, and giving, are one and the same thing. Someone has said, "Desire for anything is the thing itself in incipiency"; that is, the thing you desire is not only for you, but has already been started toward you out of the heart of God; and it is the first approach of the thing itself striking you that makes you desire it, or even think of it at all.

28. The only way God has of letting us know of His infinite supply and His desire to make it ours is for Him to push gently on the divine spark living within each one of us. He wants you to be a strong, self-efficient man or woman, to have more power and dominion over all before you; so He quietly and silently pushes a little more of Himself, His desire, into the center of your being. He enlarges, so to speak, your real self, and at once you become conscious of new desire to be bigger, grander, stronger. If He had not pushed at the center of your being first, you would never have thought of new desires, but would have remained perfectly content as you were.

29. You think that you want better health, more love, a brighter, more cheerful home all your very own; in short, you want less evil (or no evil) and more good in your life. This is only God pushing at the inner door of your being, as if He were saying: "My child, let Me in; I want to give you all good, that you may be more comfortable and happy." "Behold, my servants shall eat. . .behold, my servants shall drink. . .behold my servants shall rejoice. . .behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart. . .And they shall build houses, and inhabit them" (Isa. 65:13, 14, 21).

30. Remember this: Desire in the heart for anything is God's sure promise sent beforehand to indicate that it is yours already in the limitless realm of supply, and whatever you want you can have for the taking.

31. Taking is simply recognizing the law of supply and demand (even if you cannot see a sign of the supply any more than Elijah did when he had affirmed for rain, and not a cloud even so big as a man's hand was for a long time to be seen). Affirm your possession of the good that you desire; have faith in it, because you are working with divine law and cannot fail; do not be argued off your basic principle by anyone; and sooner will the heavens fall than that you fail to get that which you desire.

32. "All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them" (Mark 11:24).

33. Knowing the law of abundant supply, and the truth that supply always precedes the demand, demand simply being the call that brings the supply into sight; knowing that all desire in the heart for any good is really God's desire in us and for us, how shall we obtain the fulfillment of our every desire, and that right speedily?

34. "Delight thyself also in Jehovah; And he will give thee the desires of thy heart" (Psalms 37:4). Take right hold of God with an unwavering faith. Begin and continue to rejoice, and thank Him that you have (not will have) the desires of your heart, never losing sight of the fact that the desire is the thing itself in incipiency. If the good were not already yours in the invisible realm of supply, you could not, by any possibility, desire it.

35. Someone asks: "Suppose I desire my neighbor's wife, or his property; is that desire born of God? And can I see it fulfilled by affirming that it is mine?"

36. You do not and cannot, by any possibility, desire that which belongs to another. You do not desire your neighbor's wife. You desire the love that seems to you to be represented by your neighbor's wife. You desire something to fill your heart's craving for love. Affirm that there is for you a rightful and an overflowing supply, and claim its manifestation. It will surely come, and your so-called desire to possess your neighbor's wife will suddenly disappear.

37. So you do not in reality desire anything that belongs to your neighbor. You want the equivalent of that for which his possessions stand. You want your own. There is today an unlimited supply of all good provided in the unseen for every human being. No man must needs have less that another may have more. Your very own awaits you. Your understanding faith, or trust, is the power that will bring it to you.

38. Emerson said that the man who knows the law "is sure that his welfare is dear to the heart of being. . .He believes that he cannot escape from his good."

39. Knowing divine law and obeying it, we can forever rest from all anxiety, all fear, for "Thou openest thy hand, And satisfiest the desire of every living thing" (Psalms 145:16).

List of films considered the best

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to search
Citizen Kane (1941), starring and directed by Orson Welles, has topped several international polls, including five consecutive decades at number 1 in the British Film Institute's Sight and Sound decennial poll of critics.

This is a list of films considered the best in national and international surveys of critics and the public.

Some surveys focus on all films, while others focus on a particular genre or country. Voting systems differ, and some surveys suffer from biases such as self-selection or skewed demographics, while others may be susceptible to forms of interference such as vote stacking.

Critics and filmmakers

Sight and Sound

Vertigo (1958) was ranked number one in the 2012 British Film Institute's Sight and Sound decennial poll of critics.[needs update]

Every decade, starting in 1952, the British film magazine Sight and Sound asks an international group of film critics to vote for the greatest film of all time.
