What completes the communion?

You cannot think one thought of unselfishness—one thought of self-discipline—one thought of God—without immediately entering into that which is of the Spirit.

Get back to the Christ way of thinking.

First of all, in your mind, build up a portrait of The Beloved—of the One who understands you best—the One who loves you whatever you are—whatever you fail to be.

Get before you that image of Love, and then call out the Spirit of God, which is within—you can do it by thought.

You can do it in your daily work—in the most mundane tasks, which make up your life.

All that is necessary to contact with the Divine is just the wish—just the thought—

God hold me—God keep me.

Prayer is thought—remember that.

You are told to pray—to withdraw from others and kneel in prayer. 

This is of aid to you in raising the mind from that multitude of physical distractions, but with the soul who knows and recognises his Saviour, he can contact with the Divine on a second's thought.

Remember that whatever you do, Christ is by your side—Christ is there to help and guide and restore you—if this one thought is stored in the mind—God—or Christ—or Master—just the one thought—then the communion between you is complete.

That is prayer—prayer penetrating into those Realms of Holiness, which represent God.

Let the spirit within guide and teach and lead you on.

God will help you—He will never cease in His efforts to break down those last defences of the physical mind, and once these are laid low, so you will enter into that peace, which passeth all bounds.

Remember—

Render unto Caesar the things, which be Caesar's—to the world, the work of the world, and unto God, the thoughts, the dedication, the sanctities of your heart and mind.

For only by this process—by following the narrow, steep path up the mountainside can the vision glorious be your own.

God help you to be strong, and when you have seen the Light, never to drop your eyes again.

—Spirit Reverend Arthur Chambers
