Chapter 13 - Rivers in the Desert
"Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall
spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even
make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the
desert." --Isaiah 43:19
In this 43rd chapter of Isaiah are many wonderful
statements, showing the irresistible power of
Supreme Intelligence, coming to man's rescue in
times of trouble. No matter how impossible the
situation seems, Infinite Intelligence knows the
way out.
Working with God-Power, man becomes unconditioned
and absolute. Let us get a realization of this
hidden power that we can call upon at any moment.
Make your contact with Infinite Intelligence, (the
God within) and all appearance of evil evaporates,
for it comes from man's "vain imaginings."
In my question and answer class I would be asked,
"How do you make a conscious contact with this
Invincible Power?"
In reply, "By your word." "By your words you are
justified."
The Centurion said to Jesus Christ, "Speak the
word, master and my servant shall be healed."
"Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be
delivered." Notice the word, "call"; you are
calling on the Lord or Law, when you make an
affirmation of Truth.
As I always say, take a statement which "clicks,"
that means, gives you a feeling of security.

People are enslaved by ideas of lack; lack of
love, lack of money, lack of companionship, lack
of health, and so on.
They are enslaved by the ideas of interference and
incompletion. They are asleep in the Adamic
Dream: Adam (generic man) ate of "Maya the tree
of illusion" and saw two powers, good and evil.
The Christ mission was to wake people up to the
Truth of one power, God. "Awake you that sleeps."
If you lack any good thing, you are still asleep
to your good.
How do you awake from the Adamic dream of
opposites, after having slept soundly in the race
thought for hundreds of years?
Jesus Christ said, "When two of you agree, it
shall be done." It is the law of agreement.
It is almost impossible to see clearly, your good,
for yourself: that is where the healer,
practitioner or friend is necessary.
Most successful men say they have succeeded
because their wives believed in them.
I will quote from a current newspaper, giving
Walter P. Chrysler's tribute to his wife,
"Nothing," he once said, "has given me more
satisfaction in life, than the way my wife had
faith in me from the very first, through all those
years." Chrysler wrote of her, "It seemed to me I
could not make anyone understand that I was
ambitious except Della. I could tell her and she
would nod. It seems to me I even dared to tell
her that I intended, some day, to be a master
mechanic." She always backed his ambitions.
Talk about your affairs as little as possible, and
then only to the ones who will give you
encouragement and inspiration. The world is full
of "wet blankets," people who will tell you "it
can't be done, that you are aiming too high."
As people sit in Truth meetings and services,
often a word or an idea will open a way in the
wilderness.
Of course the Bible is speaking of states of
consciousness. You are in a wilderness or desert,
when you are out of harmony - when you are angry,
resentful, fearful or undecided. Indecision is
the cause of much ill health, being unable to make
up your mind.
One day when I was in a bus, a woman stopped it
and asked the conductor its destination. He told
her, but she was undecided. She got half way on,
and then got off, then on again: the conductor
turned to her and said, "Lady, make up your mind!"
So it is with so many people, "Ladies make up your
minds!"
The intuitive person is never undecided, he is
given his leads and hunches, and goes boldly
ahead, knowing he is on the magic path.
In Truth, we always ask for definite leads just
what to do; you will always receive one if you ask
for it. Sometimes it comes as intuition,
sometimes from the external.
One of my students, named Ada, was walking down
the street, undecided whether to go to a certain
place or not. She asked for a lead. Two women
were walking in front of her. One turned to the
other and said, "Why don't you go Ada?" The
woman's name just happened to be Ada, my friend
took it as a definite lead, and went on to her
destination, and the outcome was very successful.
We really lead magic lives, guided and provided
for at every step if we have ears to hear and eyes
that see.
Of course we have left the plane of the intellect
and are drawing from the superconscious, the God
within, which says, "This is the way, walk ye in
it."
Whatever you should know, will be revealed to you.
Whatever you lack, will be provided! "Thus says
the Lord Who makes a way in the sea and a path in
the mighty waters."
"Remember ye not the former things, neither
consider the things of old."
People who live in the past have severed their
contact with the wonderful now. God knows only
the now. Now is the appointed time, today is the
day.
Many people lead lives of limitation, hoarding and
saving, afraid to use what they have; which brings
more lack and more limitation.
I give the example of a woman who lived in a small
country town. She could scarcely see to get
about, and had very little money. A kind friend
took her to an oculist, and presented her with
glasses, which enabled her to see perfectly.
Sometime later she met her on the street without
the glasses. She exclaimed, "Where are your
glasses?"
The woman replied, "Well, you don't expect me to
hack them out by using them every day, do you? I
only wear them on Sundays."
You must live in the now and be wide awake to your
opportunities.
"Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall
spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even
make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the
desert."
This message is meant for the individual. Think
of your problem and know that Infinite
Intelligence knows the way of fulfillment. I say
the way, for before you called you were answered.
The supply always precedes the demand.
God is the Giver and the Gift and now creates His
own amazing channels.
When you have asked for the Divine Plan of your
life to manifest, you are protected from getting
the things that are not in the Divine Plan.
You may think that all your happiness depends upon
obtaining one particular thing in life; later on,
you praise the Lord that you didn't get it.
Sometimes you are tempted to follow the reasoning
mind, and argue with your intuitive leads,
suddenly the Hand of Destiny pushes you into your
right place, and under grace, you find yourself
back on the magic path again.
You are now wide awake to your good, you have the
ears that hear (your intuitive leads), and the
eyes which see the open road of fulfillment.
"The genius within me is released. I now fulfill
my destiny."
