o my mind at
this moment, would reveal facts that no doubt to some would seem almost
incredible if not miraculous. But let us remember that what is
possible for one life to realize is possible for all. This is indeed
the natural and the normal life, that which will be the every-day life
of every one who comes into and who lives in this higher realization
and so in harmony with the higher laws. This is simply getting into
the current of that divine sequence running throughout the universe;
and when once in it, life then ceases to be a plodding and moves along
day after day much as the tides flow, much as the planets move in their
courses, much as the seasons come and go.
All the frictions, all the uncertainties, all the ills, the sufferings,
the fears, the forebodings, the perplexities of life come to us because
we are out of harmony with the divine order of things. They will
continue to come as long as we so live. Rowing against the tide is
hard and uncertain. To go with the tide and thus to take advantage of
the working of a great natural force is safe and easy. To come into
the conscious, vital realization of our oneness with the Infinite Life
and Power is to come into the current of this divine sequence. Coming
thus into harmony with the Infinite, brings us in turn into harmony
with all about us, into harmony with the life of the heavens, into
harmony with all the universe. And above all, it brings us into
harmony with ourselves, so that body, soul, and mind become perfectly
harmonized, and when this is so, life becomes full and complete.
The sense life then no longer masters and enslaves us. The physical is
subordinated to and ruled by the mental; this in turn is subordinated
to and continually illumined by the spiritual. Life is then no longer
the poor, one-sided thing it is in so many cases; but the three-fold,
the all-round life with all its beauties and ever increasing joys and
powers is entered upon. Thus it is that we are brought to realize that
the middle path is the great solution of life; neither asceticism on
the one hand nor license and perverted use on the other. Everything is
for use, but all must be wisely used in order to be fully enjoyed.
As we live in these higher realizations the senses are not ignored but
are ever more fully perfected. As the body becomes less gross and
heavy, finer in its texture and form, all the senses become finer, so
that powers we do not now realize as bel
