The Way

From Volume I of the May, 1952 Bridge 

When Jesus said; "I AM the way, the truth and the life”, he identified himself with the Universal Flame, a spark of which is within every man which contains the full perfection of the Godhead, just as every drop of sea water contains all the potentialities of the great ocean, He said; "What I AM, Ye shall be." How do we find this spiritual spark within us and then connect with the Universal Flame of the Whole? By purely mechanical means that is not any more miraculous than the radio, the telephone or the television.

This spark within the heart of man is part of the Great Flame that is God's Heart, with all the attributes of the Godhead within it. It is through this Spark that man will learn the purpose of his creation and eventually return Home to join his developed Flame with the Great Flame of his Father.  

Prayer is not a hit or miss activity nor is the scientific answer to prayer subject to 'chance'. When an individual decides he wants to contact the Heavenly Kingdom and partake of its peace, its healing, its love, he creates a vibration within himself that causes this 'spark' within the heart to glow and expand. This spark, being of the same substance and quality as the Heart of God, glows and radiates in its own realm and draws into its consciousness, by magnetic attraction, the grace and blessings which form the very atmosphere of this realm.  

This realm is where all the answers to prayer originate. The spark within the heart is already functioning there . . . The radiation of scientific prayer is a signal to intelligent beings, who are the messengers of God and who also function in the realm of creative fire, to rush to the assistance of the spark that has sent forth its call. These beings fan the flame, intensify its Light, and thus make the individual flame a power in the world of the aspirant.  

"Acquaint now thyself with Him and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto you." (Job 22:21) 

Visualize your individual consciousness held up to receive the God Ideas and Direction from the Mind and Heart of the Creator pictured in your consciousness as a Sun, every member of the human race connected with that Sun through a directed and individual Ray of Light anchored within the personal consciousness. See the receptive consciousness accepting the ideas, molding them into form, through the concentrated power of the mental body, breathing life into them through the life of the consciously energized feeling nature and precipitating the idea into the world of form through the etheric body. All accomplished through the beautiful harmony of cosmic vibrations, which is the natural emanation of creative endeavors, when manifested in perfect accord with God's Will.  

From this consciousness, say:

Through the harmony of my true being, I perceive and externalize every minute perfect health in every cell and organ of my bodies.  

Through the harmony of my true being, I receive and externalize every minute God Supply in limitless abundance, filling my every need.  

Through the harmony of my true being, I create and externalize every minute an aura of perfect peace and harmony which acts as a natural conductor of God Will to all life wherever I AM.  

Through the harmony of my true being, I perceive and externalize every minute the Will of the Father in understanding, illumination and freedom.
