“Oh, My Dear Ones, you have so long felt that you had the power in your hands to do these outer things. Sometimes, when you chose to use the energy of your Life Stream to mechanically do something, for instance take the lid off of something, you twist it; you make that substance do your will! You have used your own Life Energy, which is the Light from your Higher Mental Body, to do these physical things.
In the Name of God, won’t you feel that you have the same power through the same Life, to command things to become Pure and Self-luminous, Perfect, and Victorious in the Fulfillment of the Divine Plan? What other way would there be of doing it?
Can you do anything or has anybody anything else to use but Life? Can you do anything through your physical body with anything except your own Life, your own energy? Can you do anything through your physical body with somebody else’s energy? Certainly not! It is the Flame in your Heart which is the Director of that energy, not the energy in someone else’s radiation.
You are the Directing Intelligence of whatever energy you use, whether it be within your own physical forms, the radiation in the atmosphere about you, or in mechanical apparatus through which energy flows.
You have plenty of feeling, My Dear Ones, to compel substance to do your will when you are handling something mechanical. If some parts of your automobile don’t work, you compel them to come apart; and when you want to make them break loose, you turn on plenty of energy.
You use your intelligence to produce whatever leverage you need, to compel that substance to do your will. How much do you will things to become as Pure as the Heart of the Goddess of Purity?
Do you know what would be in your world if you exerted the same amount of physical strength and energy upon the substance of your clothing, as the things that you do in the mechanical operation of something you want to make do what you desire?
If you turned on that same amount of feeling and physical force to call forth Purity and Perfection into that substance to make it Self-luminous, it would shine like the Sun at noonday.”
Mighty Victory
