Today God is still creating. This energy source is still creating. In the past 50 years, what has been created? Television? Radio? Spaceships? iPods? All of the electronic things we have are a creation of God using the energy of somebody’s mind who said, “I believe I can make something different.”

Everything that has ever been created came out of a human mind in order to make some kind of discovery, like medications, transportation and everything you can think of.

How in the world can we then condemn anything as being wrong rather than saying, “It is the use of it that makes it harmful to people”?

The H-Bomb is harmful to people. It was a creation out of God’s mind, probably to stop or prevent something that would have been worse later on. This sounds a little bit strange. Bear with me for a minute.

Just suppose that the bomb had not been created when it was by the United States. Suppose it waited 10 years, and every country had it. The whole world would have been annihilated. That would have been worse.

Just suppose that the ideas, thoughts and feelings that brought about television, radio and space things were not created at the time. We would have been backwards, as was the world before it began to develop into so many brilliant people who are able to create and say, “I can put this together to make this.”

Creation comes out of people’s minds to put stuff together to make something new. As a child when you were playing with mud pies, if you saw some little rocks, you put them in and called them raisins or pecans. If you had muddy water, you would call it iced tea.

You were beginning to create. When these creations began to come about, the life force began to move through somebody as a creative force.

What are you giving life to? Are you giving life to misery? Are you giving life to poor health? Are you giving life to struggle? Are you worried about it? Are you concerned about it?

Can you put those things aside to develop the attitude, “I give life to health. I give life to wholeness. I give life to peace of mind”? You are at the point of making a choice. You have come out of the dark ages into the possibility and potential of making your life what you want it to be.

Many of us were raised in traditions of fear, pain and punishment. We were told, “God’s going to get us one way or the other.” That’s the Old Testament. The New Testament doesn’t say that. We want to move into the New Testament of light, life and creation.

One of the things taught in New Thought, which I disagree with, is that you can’t change another person. I don’t believe that. The way we change another person is by beginning to see them in another way.

This is why we’re so strong on words. People come in for prayer work. The religious science says “treatment.” Unity says just “prayer.” My word for it is “prayer therapy.” It is taking something you know and being willing to make a change. If you’re willing to make a change in your world, you have to begin to see it in a different way.

The closest word for “God” Dr. Lamsa (expert in Aramaic Bible) could come up with was “essence.” When I think of essence, I think of somebody who has perfume on. You can smell the perfume, but you can’t see or feel it. It’s just there. This is what spirit is. It’s all around us.

It’s been described this way. If fish knew that they were in water, they might drown. They’re supposed to drown if their heads are underwater like that. If we could see in air like the fish in water, we would know that this energy all around us is the essence of the life force that flows in, through and all around us. It creates according to our belief systems.

One of the Catherine Ponder books says, “Substance is passive.” This divine substance around us, this energy form, is passive. It moves upon a person’s thoughts, words and actions. If you are not in charge of your life, setting your own goals and creating your own reality, somebody else will create it for you.

From proverbs, “My words are life unto those who find them and health to all their flesh.” All of this is about what we are giving life to. A sound heart is the life of the flesh.

“In Him was light,” talking about Jesus, “and the life was the light of men.” This is one of my favorites. “I am come that they might have life, and they have it more abundantly.”

It is this whole attitude and feeling of the man called Jesus who came to Earth to transform the Old Testament, which was punishment, history, cause and effect, karma, and thousands of years of believing, “We have to be punished for everything we did earlier.”

Our new ideas, life force and thoughts are based on love. The more loving we become, the greater our lives become. What does this mean?

Emmet Fox was strong in his belief of the creative image that we make for ourselves. His ideas and thoughts were, “What can we do this day to create a better life for ourselves?”

Still more to come…
