Beloved Children of the Omnipresent Good 

The Contemplation of the Presence of God as an Individual Focus of intelligence, alive and connected with your own ego, forms the basis for all the contemplative studies that are the heart center of the initiate's training in every retreat and focus of Light upon the planet Earth. 

The use of powers developed, the capacities unfolded and the knowledge which becomes part of the lifestream's heritage vary according to the particular Retreat and Service to which he has dedicated his being, and as he evolves the powers and capacities which come from a realization of this Presence does such a one increase the service of the channel to which he has dedicated himself. 

However, to feel the Presence of God is more than a knowing which is a faculty of the outer mind. The lifestream feeling that active Presence as anything and everything that he wishes to be comes to a place of "peace in action". Limitation, for instance, is the absence rather than the presence of Good. Now, this absence occurs only in consciousness and somewhere or other there is a lack of the realization of the Presence of Supply. In the case of health of mind or body, that which manifests as an imperfect or unhappy expression is the result of the lack of the realization of the Presence of Beauty, Balance, Harmony, Security and Poised Peace within the consciousness of the individual ego. It is a lack of realization. 

Now it is possible for one individual to realize this Presence for another. Here let me affirm with a pressure of my feeling that when you realize beauty, symmetry, balance and poise for another you are not, through mental force, creating something that is absent, but you are simply recognizing the Presence for that other one, which, before you called, was already established. (Before they call I have answered). 

Let us take a homely illustration - a child in a dark room, looking upon a clothes rack, sees one of the evil figures of a fairy tale brooding upon it. The adult entering the room realizes instantly that it is merely an inanimate object provided for the hanging of clothes and the child's fear is immediately allayed both by the turning on of the light and by the mature person's making real to the infant the true state of affairs. Now nothing has changed except the concept in the mind of the smaller person. It has been an entirely mental and emotional metamorphosis. 

When we look at you, beloved ones, we see you as you really are. We realize you as God in the first instance created you. When you begin to realize yourselves as that Active Presence nothing will change, mind you, but your concept. That is why those Decrees which include the making REAL of the I AM Presence in physical action are a tremendous force for good when the essence of them is realized. 

To say - I AM the Presence of Supply, alive and active in every channel and faucet of my being - is not to affirm something that is not already a Truth, but it is to draw the realization into the feeling body through the contemplation of that which is a positive fact. To affirm, dear ones, constantly and determinedly I AM THE PRESENCE OF GOD living and breathing now in my mind, body, being, world and affairs - is to draw into your feelings that which I see and know for you as Truth now, for one can swing the balance of Truth for another. 

Blessings and Love,
