The Infallible Law
 

The Source is infinite, and you are a part of the Source. If you have perfect faith and live your life right, then you are able to participate in the bounty of the Source. If every person in the world had perfect faith, then he/she would receive. If a person were hungry and yet had perfect faith, then he/she would receive the answer.

That is how the Law operates. If you learn to attune yourself to the Law, the results must come. If the results do not come, that only proves that you are not in tune with the Law. Your history books tell you that there have been those from the lowest of the low, the poorest of the poor, who have tried the Law and it has not failed them. You must not point to those who do not try it and ask why it does not work.

Sometimes the spirit gets crushed and cannot rise above the surrounding circumstances, but if you had perfect faith you could rise above all the troubles of your world. You would turn your faces to the sun and say: "I am a part of the Source. I am indestructible. I am eternal. I am infinite. All that which is finite and part of the world of matter cannot touch me.'"
If you did that, you would not be touched.

Many people start with fear in their hearts. They are afraid they will not get results, and the element of fear disturbs the vibration. Perfect love casteth out fear. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. That was taught to you many years ago by one who knew the Law. He showed that when he put it into operation the results were always forthcoming. If you allow the Law to function, then the results must come.

There is nothing you can have in the world of matter without paying the price. You cannot accumulate wealth without paying the price, because if you do that, and forget the duties of your own spirit, then you may be rich in the goods of your world, but you will be very poor in spirit.

You have the greatest riches within yourselves. You are part of the Source. There are no riches or fortunes in your world that can be compared with that. Explore your own gold mines, to reveal the diamonds of the spirit that are within the clay of your own natures.

You are never alone, but always encompassed around and about by a host of those in spirit who love you, who seek to guard and guide you and to help and inspire you. And may you, as you unfold your own spirits, realise that you are being drawn closer to the greatest Spirit of all, becoming more in unison with His Law.

You serve Him by servicing the children of matter. When you do that, you are within reach of His infinite arms, you are surrounded by His love, which will bring you to perfect peace.

Faith, that is faith alone, sometimes fails when the winds of bitter experience blow. But the faith that is born of knowledge provides a foundation which is so strong that no wind of circumstance can disturb it.

Blessed are those who believe and have not yet seen, but thrice blessed are they who know and, because they know, place their faith in that which is not yet revealed to them, because they know that the laws of the universe are operated by a power which is love and wisdom.

You should all have perfect faith, because it is a faith born of knowledge. You have had the proof of the power of the spirit. Now you should have the faith that all things work wisely and well and, if you put yourselves in tune with the laws of the Source, you must reap the operation of those laws.

You can all banish from your minds the thought that anything that is unenlightened - or, as some would say, evil - can ever touch you. You live and move under the protection of the Source and His Laws. If there is no evil in your hearts, then only good can reach you, for only good can dwell where goodness reigns. You need have no fears. The power which envelops you, the power which supports and seeks to guide you and inspire you, is the power that emanates from the Source of All.

That power can sustain you in all your trials and difficulties. That power can change your storms into sunshine, and bring you out of the darkness of despair into the light of knowledge. Your feet are set on pathways of progress. There is no need for fear.

Perfect love casteth out fear. Knowledge dispels fear, for fear is born of ignorance. Where there is love and trust and knowledge, there fear cannot reign. An evolved spirit cannot be afraid at any time, because he knows there is no experience that can come to him in any phase of life that he cannot master, for he IS the Great Spirit.

Fear creates its own prison for the soul. You must learn to rise above fear and not allow its vibrations to hinder you, to have perfect faith and confidence and trust, to know that you can stand on your feet and say: "I am of the Source, and the wind of circumstance cannot shake me. I will rise triumphant over every difficulty because of the infinite power which is within my soul." You have power over every circumstance. Would you limit the power of the infinite soul?

The Creative Source rules over that which is material and that which is spiritual. There are no divisions in His universal kingdom. Do not attempt to divide the life of matter from the life of spirit. They are not distinct and separate. They are parts of one indivisible life, for the things of matter react on the things of spirit and the things of spirit react on the things of matter.

You have yet to learn that there are no difficulties which beset those blessed with the power of the spirit that they will not surmount, as long as they in return serve the Creator wherever they go.

There are no obstacles in your world that cannot be removed, if it is the Law that they shall be removed. If, sometimes, the cross you have seems very hard to bear, remember it is better for you to carry it and to learn the lesson it brings. You must consider not only this life, but the whole of eternity.

If you children of matter would remember that not only are you human but also divine, how much easier would it be for you to live your lives! Your troubles would melt away, your obstacles would be swept to one side. But you have little faith in the power that is within you. What you call "human" belongs to the world of matter. That which is divine belongs to the world of Spirit.

Many years ago you were told to "be in this world, but not of the world". Because the people of your world have not the faith, then the law cannot be put into operation. You say one has more money and less worry than another. You do not know how their worries compare. The Laws of the Great Spirit cannot be cheated.

You are on earth to build your character. It is the way you face your problems that makes your character. But there is no trouble in your world of matter which is greater than the power you have within you for overcoming it, because the troubles are of the earth, material, and you are part of the Divine.

There is only one peace - the peace which comes to those who are at one with the Source, whose hearts beat as one with His great heart, whose wills are at one with His great will, who are at one in soul, mind and heart with the Creative Source. Then there is peace, because they live in harmony with His Laws. There is no other peace.

You were told many years ago that "the kingdom of heaven is within". It is not without. It is not to be found in the rush of the world of matter. It is to be found within the soul.

So finely balanced and so perfect is the Law that there can be no cheating. Not one person escapes his own punishment, and not one loses his own reward. Do not judge eternity with the eyes of matter. Do not judge the smaller when you have not seen the greater.

Do not confuse the transient joys of earth with the enduring things of the spirit. They are tawdry and flimsy.

You seek to find peace without. Seek first the eternal peace within. The greatest riches are the riches of the spirit.

Some people will always worry. Even in the world of spirit they will worry. But always remember - that which you dwell upon, your worries, will grow in proportion to the amount you focus upon them. You are creators - focusing on that which worries you will only create more of the same.

Sowing and reaping are part of the natural Law. It is in the cultivation of the fruits of the earth that you learn of Nature's Law, and begin to appreciate the Divine handiwork and the workings of the  Mind which has planned all in its orderly sequence.

That which is gathered is that which has been sown. The seed is always true to its type. You cannot sow the seed of a potato and expect a lettuce to grow. Always what has been sown will follow unswervingly the dictate of the natural Law, and what is true in that realm of nature is equally true in the realm of human life and activity.

He who lives selfishly must reap the results of selfishness. He who "sins" must reap the result of his "sin" or error. He who is intolerant, bigoted or selfish, will reap the results of intolerance, bigotry and selfishness. The Law is inexorable; the Law is immutable. There is no religious exercise, there is no hymn, no prayer, no sacred book that can interpose and alter the sequence of cause and effect.
The effect follows cause with methodical and mechanical certainty, and no one has the power, be he called priest or layman, to interfere with that natural process. He who desires the growth of the spirit must live that kind of life which alone can assure spiritual growth.

The spirit grows through kindness, toleration, sympathy, love, service and doing of good works. Character evolves only when you allow the divine spirit to be made manifest in your daily lives. If you harbour unkind thoughts, thoughts of hatred, of malice, of vengeance, of selfishness, you yourself will be the victim and pay the price in a warped, distorted and thwarted character.

All Law is part of the one vast Law. All works in harmony because all is part of the divine plan. The lesson of it is that men and women throughout the whole world of matter must seek their salvation by working it out in their daily lives, and abandon all the false theology which teaches that it is possible to cast on to others the results and responsibilities of your own actions.

Man is the gardener of his own soul. Source has provided him with all that is necessary for it to grow in wisdom, grace and beauty. The implements are there, he has but to use them wisely and well.

The Law is perfect in its operation. Effect always follows cause with mathematical precision. No individual has the power to alter by one hairbreadth the sequence of cause and effect.

There is no personal God apart from the one that human beings have created; there is no personal Devil apart from the one that human beings have created. There is no golden heaven, no fiery hell. These are the imaginings of those whose views are limited. Source is the Law. Know that, and you have learned life's greatest secret, for once you realise the world is governed by unchangeable, unbreakable, immutable omnipotent Law, you know that justice is done and none can be forgotten in the great scheme of creation.

That is why all is known. That is why nothing can be omitted. That is why every facet of life finds its place in the universal scheme. That is why nothing can be overlooked, for the Law embraces every aspect of life, no matter how tiny, no matter how large, for all is Law. Nothing exists except the Law which makes its existence possible. The Law reigns supreme. Man's free will creates confusion and obscures the working of the Law in his mind, but the Law exists just the same and must operate.
