THE BIGGEST THOUGHT IN ALL CIVILIZATION:
BALANCE.
BALANCED INTERCHANGE.
RHYTHMIC BALANCED INTERCHANGE.
Give deepest thought to the word UNITY and realize what that word means to your physical and spiritual manifestation of God in Action. Fully realize that unity is impossible if the pairs of a transaction are not equal. You can trace all of your ills and the world's terrible troubles to that inequality in the transactions of Man in Action, which leaves a residue of unbalance which has not been able to be united with its mate. Learn to think of the two equal hemispheres of the sun as perfect mating. EACH HALF IS EQUAL, AND EACH HALF CANNOT FUNCTION WITHOUT THE OTHER. Think of yourself and your mate that way. Say to yourself, "I have no intellect of my own, or body of my own, or thought of my own. The other half is my wife/husband and I cannot fully function unless both halves are as equally balanced as the two hemispheres of the sun." If you can think and act that way, you multiply the power of both immeasurably. Likewise, EVERY TRANSACTION OF LIFE IS BETWEEN PAIRS, AND THE PAIRS MUST BALANCE WITH EACH OTHER IN ORDER TO BECOME UNITED. Will you take this thought into every moment you can give to meditation? IF YOU CAN MASTER IT, ALL ELSE WILL BE ADDED UNTO YOU.
What is Higher Education?
There is a big difference between what most of you think is "higher education" and what higher education really is. You see, higher education is when higher knowledge is taught. What is higher knowledge?
Higher knowledge comes to man solely through the unfolding of intelligence within him which leads him to discover the Light of his own divinity and Oneness with God.
Definitions: Knowledge, Consciousness and Sensation
Knowledge is Mind-Idea.
Consciousness is Mind-Awareness of Idea.
Sensation is a body awareness of pulsing tensions taking place in nerve systems of bodies due to the interchanging of wave motion in creating matter.
All knowledge eternally exists in the God-Mind of the universe. God is knowledge and power. Man's measure of knowledge and power is the measure in which he acquires God-awareness within him. Man cannot acquire knowledge through outer-observation by his senses. He can but acquire information that way.
Sensed-bodies cannot know anything. They are limited to a sensed-awareness of motion, for sensation is impossible without motion. Sensed-bodies see, feel, hear, smell, and taste, but that is all they do. Sensed-bodies are devoid of intelligence and are limited to brain-reasoning from observed effects. They can never acquire knowledge for knowledge is distinctly a property of the Mind, and the brain is not the Mind. When that Light of Mind-Consciousness is awakened in man, he has arrived at his first beginnings of God-awareness in him. Knowledge then begins in him, and not until then. He then begins to create instead of imitate.
It seems quite inconceivable that the consequential universities of learning have paid no attention to these very plain statements, for their sole method of gaining knowledge is through sense-observations which merely inform one of effect while knowledge lies in cause.
REAL EDUCATION IS ENTRUSTED WITH THE UNFOLDING OF MIND-AWARENESS WHICH ALONE UNITES MAN WITH GOD. THE PRIMAL NECESSITY OF EDUCATION IS THE BUILDING OF CHARACTER IN MAN THROUGH GIVING HIM KNOWLEDGE OF THE ARTS AND SKILLS OF MAN'S PRODUCE AND OF THE INTERCHANGES BETWEEN MEN WHICH MAKE BETTER NEIGHBORS AND CITIZENS. It is, instead, creating machine men, robots and parrots who remember and repeat instead of geniuses who think and know. EDUCATION IS TRAINING BODIES INSTEAD OF ILLUMINING MINDS. Our schools and universities have teachers for everything but CHARACTER.
The World's Greatest Essential-- CHARACTER. To build character, I ask that you stamp these next words upon your Consciousness with indelible ink:
1. The MOST IMPORTANT THING in life is what you do to your neighbor.
2. The LEAST IMPORTANT THING in life is what you or your neighbor believes.
3. He who gives of himself to his neighbor enriches his Soul and builds character, but he who takes from his neighbor seals his Soul in its tomb and enslaves his body to the world-treadmill from which there is no escape other than the awakening of his Soul.
4. The most important and noble attribute of man is CHARACTER.
