THE SECRET PLACE OF SPIRIT

MYRTLE FILLMORE

 

We are on the threshold of a new heaven and a new earth-a new consciousness. John the Baptist came to herald Jesus Christ; he said: "Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." We know more than the people of that day understood about the kingdom of the heavens. We are turning from the world of the outer and are coming into the wonderful place which is called the secret place of the Most High. Jesus Christ called this place the closet. He said: that we should enter into the closet, close the door, and meet the Father, heart to heart.  We do those things in the consciousness of the Father's presence within. As we enter, we close the doors of the outer senses and get away from the whirl of material activities. We feel a divine calmness; we gain understanding of ourselves.

Let us take this affirmation to help us realize the Christ consciousness: “God's perfect idea in me is now, building a perfect body, and I am satisfied.” As the little germ in the seed brings forth its kind, so in each human being is put the divine image and likeness, the possibility of bringing forth the perfect One in mind, body, and affairs.  Jesus Christ is our example of perfection. He was the first to teach of the new birth, the new growth of mankind. In order to be satisfied we first must have the perfect idea and then the perfect body.              We all are longing to bring into manifestation that which has been given us to bring forth; that is why· we sometimes are restless and discontented. That which the world has to give does not satisfy, but when we go into the inner place, when ye learn to be still and to know the I AM, God's perfect idea of us, we lack nothing. We can become like Jesus Christ if we abide in the secret place of Spirit.

 

Behold, I stand at the door and knock:

 if any man hears my voice and opens the door,

I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith.

Revelation 3:20-22
