THE FOURTH DIMENSION AND ITS USES BY MANThe currents or thought in the race mind man-ipulate the invisible substance, and make forlack or for prosperity, at the option of thethinkers.

1 LESSON 9, November 15, 1939

It is universally accepted by metaphysiclansthat thoughts make things. Back of everythingthat anpears la an idea. The idea of shape andform in·the mind of man produces the circularmotion in the ether, which physical scientistssay produce a network of atoms, the basis ofmants body and his environment.

Sir James Jeans says: For aught we know, orfor aught the new science can say to the contra-ry, the gods which play the part of fate to the

- atoms of our brains may be our own minds.through these atoms'our minds may perchance If-feet the motions of our bodies and so the stateof the world around us."

The atom,built up of electrifled particlesin a state of radiation, 13 a focal point ofenergy expressing life. This radiation measuresits force against substance, or the thoughten masse. Thus, we can mentally see the universefilled.with currents of life,and substance actedupon by thought. Thinking about substance asunlimited, constantly increasing and overflowing,builds up in the mind thoughts of plenty whichmanifests ns prosperity. When the mind ignoresits capacity to do this, and lets lh· thoughtsof - fear -and lack,poverty results. -  If man thinksthoughts of lack poverty is hla portion. If manthinks thoughts of plenty prosperity manifests.

Leaven your whole consciousness'with thoughts-

of substance. To this end read daily: Wark 8:10-26; Luke 12: 13-21; and Eph. 3rd chapter.

CHARLES FILLMORE' S ADDRESS

These lessons are for the purpose of call-ing our attention to a heretofore neglected ''-part of our world; that is, the Invisible World.

I As we follow through the authorltles quoted fromv the So-called scientific world to the religious

world, we have discovered that.they unity, thatthey are.one. In,our mlnds we have in the pastseparated the invisible world from the visibleworld, and through the power or thought we havabrought' about a separation. As you think so youbecome. Whatever you project into your mentalworld becomes.visible in-your physical world.The lessons, thgt have preceded this one have

, . constantly'aimed to show you that Jesus wasteaching the-'same kingdom that our modern sci-enklsts are telling about, that ls, that- theether is charged,with all potent iality, thateverything that 13 visible came out of the in-visibli. Jesus said that he was the light ofthe world, "that whosoever believed in him shouldnot' slt in darkness, but have light. Isaiahprophesied that they who hAd waited in darknesshad seen a great light--this light of man isspiritual understanding. Going back to theflrst chapter of Genesis, you will find thatInfinite Mind first created light. "Let therebe light.' . .and there was'light."

We can consider light as representative ofunderstpnding, or that it is a right activityof-Principle, of a Mind-Principle: and when that'Mind-principle is freed in our minds we breakinto the omnipresent light--we break into the -ether, or the Kingdom of the Heavens.

Now lf we get our consciousness togethera  on this proposition and get to thinking of theIl/ " kingdom , of the heavens",or the ether, or the

light, orpf that inner invisible substance thathas been heparated from us, we will find thatit is right here all the time--that the visibleand the invisible are but tio halves of the onewhole, and that.one'whole is all of my conscious-ness. Well, am I centering my conaciousness onit

things that are visible unto the five senseworld, or am I centering my consciousness inthat-realm which produced this five sense world TThe result will determine as tc how I am becomingaware of myself, because it la all in ourselves.

  I am what I can conceive myself to be, andv nothing else.

This universe may be filled with potential-itles:.lt may be filled with the powers of dark-ness or the powers of light, but I shall neverknow" anything about. them until' I become mentally

;

- in contact with them. You can prove that 15 true_ 1n any department of the sense,world, lf you

will. But how much more so la it true in thishigh mental realm. It is not so good to thinkconstantly of the Invisible realm as being theonly one that is davine, for both realms aredivine in nature; they are really one. le havesaid that God was divine and that man was finite,that-the finite couldn't aoprehend and know theInfinite,'Mnd through our thinking we have madeit so ; that .is, have made it appear so to ourconsciousness. There 18 a divine Principle, inthat we must conform, and it is this that · we areseeking to know about, the invisible realm as itls related · to the visible one. There is a realm

herenin which everything is provided for us. Wehave been taught that Ood - is the source of everygood, and that God is the mource of everythingthat we need; but we have looked upon this teach-ing as if it were something that we could notunderstand, as if it were something far away inthe matter of comprehension.

Physical science comes along and says thatthis'teaching la a certain truth, that the veryalr that we breathe 13 filled with the substance

  that makes the corn, that makes the cotton, thatv makes the wood. It is all here in essence; andwe are aoproaching a time when in order to geta crop of wheat it will not be necessary to sowseeds. and walt for the seasons, but we will takeit out of' the air take it in tablets and eat it.This la the material approach to what Jesus

3.

f Christ taught. He looked to heaven, we are told,; · ' when he multiplied« the loaved And the fishes.: Where are we looking when we are getting invls-

ible substance? Arentt we looking to earth,looking down? Suppose we look into the topbrain, this upper chamber, this center in you

  in which are accumulated these essential ele-ments. Through the potency, the power in us,if we project -those essences into the naturalphase of the mind, which la mental activity, wewould produce those things. That is the way thatJesus did lt, and that is the way that every oneof ua can do it--but we don:t look up, we lookdown; we look at material affairs.

Let us take thls for a lesson and look up tothe heavens.where we find these omnipresent cur-rents in the others. Science tells us that theether. ls rull of these rivers or currents of en-ergles, and that certain motions, certain whorlsin this universal ether makes electricity, an-other makes magnetism, and so forth. We havegone into detail about this in previous lessons.

In mind let us think about this amnipresentether as it ia related to our temporal needs.We want the things; we need the things. Jesuspromised that if we would seek this Kingdom ofGod and its righteousness--its right relation--that all these things would be added.- We thoughtthat it would be through supplication; so we gotdown on our knees and asked God to give us bread,necessary clothes, to give us all these things.That is a sort of faith, but it does not provethat we have understanding, and you don't alwaysget what you pray for when you supplicate. leshould pray with understanding; we should provethe rule every time, just 83 a chemist goes intohis laboratory and pan solidity the air. le

dI ought to do this same thing in proving this lawv that Jesus did. The reason we don't do it is

because we do nok follow Jesus in the applica-tion of the law; in applying the mind to themanifestation. ne are told that Jesus disappear-ed in the clogds, and the angel said that he /would come again in the same way. In the 2 86-

9.

.f

chapter of· Matthew tt states that when the sonof man comes, he will come as lightning comethforth from the east and is seen even unto thewest. Lightning; this everpresent invisibleLight of the ether shall become manifest in theapi*arance of man the Son 'of God; this spirit-

a ual man comes as  ightning. Does he go to you / and to m• as lightning? Yes. We are getting -

light out of the ether as the character of man,spiritual man, that is what we are demonstrating.We'are beginning to recognize, to realize thiseverywhere' preient unfolding of spiritual energ¥,that which is waiting for my exprossion, yourexpression, my development, your development,that we may measure up to this divine man thatJesus measured up to. Many persons are lookingfor Jesus to come as a personality; but heplainly taught that he would come as he went.Paul teaches that we should meet him in theclouds, And be'with him in-the heavens. Every-body supposed he was coming down from the cloudsand will appear in the same body on the earth.In that case he could appear only to a very few-people.» There are a billion ab* a half of peo-ple in the earth. How could they see only onepersonality? This ·ls limiting man to the five-sense world. The spiritual man ia not limitedto man,s. understanding. Spiritual man la hereas Llght, and that Light is shining in thiothers »constantly,- and we break into it throughour mind, by looking to it, looking up, and be-ginnin4 to praise and glve thanks for everythingwe have desired as now manifesting through'theactivity of Spirit- in us, through Oodos mind inman, that these things are now ours to expfess.

The fact la tha 6 this ethor which 18 providedfor us from the very beginning is filled with theessential elements of everything we may need.It does not make any difference what the need is,

dil if you formulate that idea in your mind and make"' a: contact with the invlslble · substance,or king-

dom of God, that thing will at once begin toformulate for you in the manifest; lu 19 already

- here in the ethers: never absent at any time.All we need to do is to bring it into expressiom.We do that chrough realization, 'giving thanks

5..

that it is now being made manifest in us. Ourmen of science are.all proving that right along.

In the lesson given us today scelentlficall,all forfations of. our thoughts produce those ln-visible centers in every Mtom of matter, thatLhey are broken into and formulated into a law

  chat has been demonstrated . in some scientificformula, but not from direct control by man'smind. These scientists.speculate or ascertainthrough reflection on life that these conditionsexist in every atom in this universe--but theyhave never seen one. But we, through develop-ment of the,capacity inherent in everyone, oughtto or shall be able to sedthese inner electrons,or acoms composing our own bodies, and not onlysee th¥m, but libirate them. Every time youbring into your mind,.get your consciousnessacting with this invisible light, that light lfreleased in you becomvs flesh. In th• first chchapter of John, we are told that« the man Jesuscame as Light--a light shining in darkness, thatis the darkneasof our human consciousness, andthe light becomes flesh there and we behold itin all- its glory. That is the process goingon in all,.ln everyone of-us.

We must realize our unity with this HigherMind, the super mind, th, Christ Mind. We arein the hmblt of separating ourselves from it.The fact is that man is dull; we are all dull forwe see only matter, each in ourselves, we seema.ter. We say, MThat is In, but there is anothe,man, Lhe real· man; it is the intanglble, unalter-able reality,the real I of yourself, Bolrit, thesuper mind, In the regeneration, li the bringinginto unity of these.two men, as Paul says by thebreaking down that wall or partition between thetwo. In attainment by every human being thesetow men are to become one through this spiritual

  mind, Christ mind, or God, which is original man.v Man is now unified with his creatlon and with

Jehovah, and Jehovah God is breathing now intothe physlcal dust of the earth the spiritualrespiration, and the two are becoming one. Thatis the gist of thi whole realization, v• shouldget spiritual man, and the material thinking maninto unity.

G.

Think about .the creation of God belng man- -ifest in earth; think about Christ as existing'not just„ in a universal sense, but "also in apartlcular-sense: we everyone serve a Jehovah.Jesus"Christ gave his disciples a lesson alongthat line. (Matt. 84:41-46) He said to the.

  Pharisees, Whose son la this Christ T They saldhe was the son'of David. He was the son ofDavid; he was one with Davi/,-ljils Jehovah,Christ Mind. But thin Davia said, "Jehovah salthunto my Lord,· Sit thou at my right hand, tillI put thine anemies underneath thy feet , for hewas Jehovah. « Jesus had as high a vision. Shydidn't he say « that he was Christ? BecauseChrist was before Jesus Christ. Christ existsin the God Mind as the perfect idea of God.

We are going 60 have your attentlon calledto thes• fiets asshown in the Scrlotures, thatthese two kingdoms, the realms of wonder andlight in the spiritual mind unite with the manin the,h,rman consciousness.

CHARLES PILIYORE RESUMES

These readings from the Scripture, confirmour understanding of the spiritual man who makescontact with the suner-realm of consciousnesa,or the kingdom of the heavens. So the question

- of demonstrating the power of Christ devolvesboom the understanding and the unfoldment of

  this Christ man, the spiritual man. In otherwords, the Chrlst must be formed in us, andthrough that Christ we shall realize the poten-tlalltles of'the ethers, or the kingdom of theheavens. It la not so much a matt•r of pointingout the tenching, asit is in making the practicalapplication. Everyone of us needs to take the*R:Ahing of th.sd,lessons home with.us and apply

chem just as Jesus a *plied them to his followers.He said to beware of the leaven of'the Pharlsees,and the leaven of Herod. We all know what the'Pharisees represent: but Herod. represents thestrictly sense mind, and the Pharlsees the ln-tellectual mind. They were always questioning,and trying to conform their 'acts to some moral

Jll law. le find in us this questioning mind, andthat questioning mind starts the leaven, or itstarts ideas to work. .Leaven,you know,representsan idea, a doubt ing idea. So elery thought wedrop into our consciousness of lack works 1tselfout in some set; and this is the way we get offfbom the pure, simple faith thas would lead todemonstration perfectly. every time.

These two minds that are working in con-solousness, the material mind · and the spiritualmind, have been formed throughout the ages inwhich,we 'have lived; and the spiritual mind hasattracted to it all our spiritual thoughts, andthe-material mind has attracted to it all ourmaterial thoughts. We can plainly see that wehave two phases of mind, and they are.here allthe'time. Our great ideal should be the unionof those two mlnds. That was what Jesus dld.He slmpl* unified the man of perfect understand-ing and the man of material understanding.

To begin with we must have.faith in our splr-1tual understanding, that it is here as a realthlng. -' It ls here as something that has been ccreated by„us under a law, a divine law of thepower of thought, and all we need to do la tobring it Into action and it will solve for usevery problem. Nothing shall be impossible tous-when we know our spiritual entity. It 18rially a part of yourself just ma much as yourthinking mind is that you are using every day.That supermind, that knowing mind, that guiding

7 / mind, that mind of almighty power 11 here now:here now in all its fullness, just awaiting ouracknowledgment of it. Whenever you,say, *Nell,now I believe in the power of spiritual wisdom,NImmediately you flash light into your human con-sciousness from the superconscious. 'WheneverYou« say. *I believe this mind of Spirit in me is

- the subitantial mind, I believe it deals with.'.

the energies of the Invisible in a knowing andunderstanding way,"immediately these atomlcal.energies in the ethers begin to break open anddraw themselves into your conscious'mind'andyou abide in that conscious mind until you knowand understand that the Substance is,working in

  all its fulness. Everything then would come to- pass in your world that you believe in and that

you have been longing for.

It is worth while knowing this. le can getright into unity with our mind and the Creativemindof the universe, and anything done by any-body else at any time can be done by us. Butyou must screw your faith up to the sticking :3point, and believe that Solrltual mind ls·nowmaking conteet with your mind and that theethers are obedlent to lt.

We have for our prosperity thought beginningthe twentieth of this month--within five days--the thought that has been distributed to you inthose little leaves. "Thi splritta 1 others arefilled with plenty: prosperity is in the air,and I have abundance for every need." Just anarrangement of words, but a mighty meaning backof th•m for you. There are great possibilitiesfor everyone«here. There is no one here but.what«would like to demonstrate prosperity whenyou«need lt. Some of you'are, from a worldlystandpoint, prosperous. .We have what we needfrom day to day; that is real prosperity. Youcould not need any more than enough to eat aplace to sleep, shelter, dress, clothing. .Butare we always sure about our supply: are youalways sure of how you shall be clothid? Be notanxious about these things. Ihin ve fill ourconsciousness with this all-providing Mind, thisspiritual Mind, all anxiety, worry, rear about

/I these things will automatically drop away, andvi  the spiritual others will begin to supply yourevery needed thing.' It will begin to come toyou: you will make apprehension in the Divine,or you will make your- realization when you needit. Everything will be under the law: but ie *.

must learn ·the ·law, and this will open the doors

,.

to the kingdom of the heaven•, the kingdom ofGod. "The spiritual ethers are filled withplenty." Don It think about',there being nny lack-that kind of u thought 13 the leaven of thePhirliees; the leaven of Herod;' it mekes gapi,vacuums in the omnipresent ether. So beware of

  chat kind of thoughts if you want to demonst,atefullness.

The spiritual ethers are filled with plenty.Jesus - Bald, "Lo, I with you always." If he wasnot with you you w6uld make - a Herod gap. If we ·all believed ln weakness, sickness, la grlppe,we aould all be sick or weak part or the time.Ve don't have to be sick at all. We demonstratethat state of mind and body when we open our-•elves to it by thinking, M I see people sickaround me : maybe I will get sick. Maybe the fluis going aoround; maybe I will catch it. Youmake that kindod a olace in your mind and maybeyou w111 catch it. If you don't want it -thensay, "There is nothing catching for me buthealth." And 00 it is with prosperity: if youjudge by appearances, and see that there is needgreat need, on the part of many people, deny it.Some will say then that we are hardhearted, thatwe do not.believe in helping others. That doesnot follow. The law operates for all those thatmake the,.law of lack; if you believe in thatlack' then your thoughts connect you with allpeople in the world thinking about lack. Do youwant to be connected in any such wayl No. Tiatis how thoughts of lack are so multiplying con-ditions of lack. Cut them Ottl do not allowyourself to bu'connected with the lack concept.What are you connected with in thoughtl *I amconnected with prosperity. In this way thaworld may prove that there la in the others allfullness, all substance. le know that nine-tenth

  offall conditions in the world today ari fears.Fear of banks causes customers to withdraw theirfunds. Thus fifty percent of our circulatingmedium is taken right away at once, ds soon asth• banks shut down: because business uses cash,checks, etc, and that being withdrawn'cuts down

'. I

the circulating medium'. All these conditions carbe traced back to some state of mlnd. We are notallowing ourselves to be governed as Jesus taughtthat if anyone needed.anything they shall ask,and it shall be done for them by my Father whichis ln the heavens. Jesus taught that very thing.

iI Let'us take into our understanding the words,"The solritual ethers are filled with plenty;prosperity is in the air, and I hES, e abundance 'for every need." Project it right out: push itaway: push it away toward the ethel·s th,h 6 youhave abundance. When you hold the thought itdoes not cause the doors to be'thrown open toyou, because you do not push it right out intothe ethers and say " I have abundance.' Yourlabor bring you in everything you really needif you believe that in the manifesto Your faithmust'be in the great unmanifest, and then youmake -lt manifest. Join in the statement againaudibly add then hold it silently.

"The spiritual ethers are filled with plenty,prosperity is is in the air, and I have abundancefor every need." Proclaim that once more--once

- more--hold these words three tlmes--charge yourminds with them. Don't lot the old thought comein as you have in the past ;' know this spiritualman. (Repeat--again--silently) In this silencegive thanks to God for a perfect demonstartion.

You are all in this prayer where we are real-izing that the abundance of God 13 right herewith us, it 19 spiritually accessible, there laspiritual plenty, providing us in mind and'inmanifestation with everything thut we need. Letus remember that the spiritual ethers are filledwith plenty. Prosoerity is in the air, and thereis abundance for every need, and that we aregathered together in one place, of one mind,trusting and belelving in the fulfillment of thepromiss of Jesus Chrlst:Where two are gathered

.h together in my name, there am I in the midst ofI them. And, "Whatsoever ye shall ask, shall be

done unto you. Let us, while we are praying,realize that everyonr here shall have in hisconscious mind an opening into the everywhere ppresent spiritaul power of abundance manifestthrough the etheris, manifest th,ough the king-dom of God.

(OfferingT;announcements.)

Closing. CHARLES FILLMORE.

Let us rise,please. You could not take anymore powerful thought than the one we have given

/  which blends in with our series of lessons.' ' *The spiritual ethers are filled with plenty.

Prosperity is in the air.. I have abundance forevery need. " Let us all be loyal to that

  thought. Feel every day, every moment of yourday.that we are-Zathered together in Spirit andin mind. .Remember that we are starting a cur-rent of prosperity thought in the others, andthis-thought, or current, will form a river inthe race thought.. As your minds opento this -cur,ent you add just thuc much more to thisrlverofprosperity. Let us go forth with thisthought in our minds: "The spiritual others are

- filled with plenty: prosperity la in the air,and there 18 abundance for every need.
