Teachings of Jesus

Why We Are in Want
“And there wasted his substance with riotous living. And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.”

When one separates himself from the Divine Fire, he becomes an isolated spark. We are strong only when united with Life. As soon as our consciousness is detached from spiritual wholeness, we can no longer draw from that inexhaustible reservoir of eternal existence, so we become exhausted – there is nothing to fall back upon.
     Life is perfect Wholeness. The Universe is a Unit. God is One. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR MAN TO FEEL SEPARATED FROM THE SPIRIT WITHOUT FEELING LOST AND IN WANT. This is why Jesus said he could do nothing of himself, but could work only as the currents of divinity ran thru his personal mentality. That subtle something which runs through all things and which we call “the Thing Itself,” that energy without which nothing can be energized, that Life without which nothing can live, that Power without which nothing can move, and that Spirit without which nothing can be – IS GOD. It is only as we live in conscious union with the Spirit, and consciously let It work through us that we really live.
