But where is this wonderful Power to be contacted? The answer is simple – this Power is to be found within your own consciousness, the last place that most people would look for it. Within your own mentality there lies a source of energy stronger than electricity, more potent than high explosive; unlimited and inexhaustible. You only need to make conscious contact with it to set it working in your affairs. This Indwelling Power, the Inner Light, is spoken of in the Bible as a child. The conscious discovery by you that you have this Power within you, and your determination to make use of it, is the birth of the child.
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6).
&nbs p; This is a marvelous description of what happens when the spiritual idea, the Child, is born to the soul. Walking in darkness, moral or physical, dwelling in the land of the shadow of death – the death of joy, or hope, or even self-respect – describes well the condition of many people before this light shines into their weary, heartbroken lives; and the Prophet rises into a paean of exultant joy as he contemplates the deliverance.
The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: They that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined (Isaiah 9:2).
Though we search throughout the world, the power lies within. Who among us truly believes that all for which we pray, work and hope can be found within us. Now, this is not to say that it is from us. We are merely the switches and circuits through which this power flows. Yet, when we consciously acknowledge it, seek it and submit to it, this power flows through us and shapes the world around us. Through our submission to it, we become by God’s grace, the masters of our universe, a light to all and may then live in the joy and gladness of the Eden God gave to us ..
Seeking within,
