wor16 over than politics, hut politicians boast of Its
triciness. business boasts of its fair dealing. and
demonstrates it in the transactions of the whole. world.'
It is the maniDulatio of our finances in nigher places
that needs the help of this spiritual man, the higher law.
bo man who lacks faith in God, as a political power
7-
awaitinr the call of his 1.)eople, should he intrusted with
the lianaG.e- ent of public affairs,in timesof great emergency
or at any other times. -raith in the suoremacy of truth and
ri,:.7hteousness is better than an army • to the man who has
Eroat public ideas before hi.i-a; so we se,.• that we need a
masten today. 4" need amax--, or a wo-i. a.zi to lead the wole
world instead of son one nation, because the world has
becoe involved in sense depression. The neative elements
of the race th.-,uht, the. worl -.11 around, have begun to roll in
uon this conscios mind of ours.
L)ea whici-, the C;hildren of Israel were up aainst
is the sea of mortal thought in which we all think', in which
we feel and move. We may not be conscious of it, but our minds •
are all, in a Way, in this (7-Peat sea of. tou7T-it. Your thought
and my thout are; tinctured by what the world thinks. We •get
it through the newspaper. We get it through. contact with those
9
with whom we associate, and we get it from within our own
meditatnns, because ti.r,our.7hts are catching, and whatever,
dominant idea is in the air, somebody will get it and talk
about it, even thou[7h it be just the weather. i,nd yet. like
our cortant t alk E-Lo..;_t the weather, Lark Twain says, "I:obody
ever does anythin about it." •:ih7:7 don't 76 get busy and con-,
trol the weather instead of talking about it?
That is what L.oses did to this lied sea, this sea of
o-rns .11-: to the rIlnds of t'noe who
becin to think a.:J.out the sources of existence, the E,DrCe
of life. .::'Cr'E. k__Of' It COI( frGI; .z EE;' it col,c_r Clr an-
cestors. Yos, but life was before our ancestors; life existed.
eternally. it is; so it n,ust be an cx_nipresent principle, and
as we :.ceditate a. out that, life bscins o open u] :itnin us,
and we see that we are 'alive now. e are livinc, beincs, and
we need to catch hold of this mysterious somethinr:. which we
11
call as cc about it we break into this sea of
life. de live in it as a fish lives ir the sea. T-Ic fish
saw, there is life? I have never seen it. .:1(1-e is
the water?" de live in life in this same way, aid if the
consciousness within us is ne::ative; that is, if -e look on
the dark side, immediately throurT.i our thnkin[.1 capacity
;(-) male contact with that nei:ative or darIT side of life, and
we be cone swamped; we co down into the depths.
That is represented by t'flese hyntian. Thalliv in
material thour,.ht, tn bui]t great material structures, they
worshiped materiality, a7-id when their minds were openec. uT:, to
the material, psychic realm do= the-: went; but the Children
of Israel--and let us saw that the Children of Israel and
the Lcyptians are both existing, in our m5_nds. just two nares
for two phases of thought, and as we open up,tbrough the law,
this spiritual side we open up also the material side. It is
13
said that no man ever of into heaven except he waned
thrcnhh hell first-so the Children of Israel
up the heavens of t7n..e mind, mere up against this realm of
negativeness in them, this something tha: says in us, 4Y
