…for they shall see God. In this wonderful Beatitude we are told exactly how this supreme task is to be accomplished and who they are who shall do it. They are the pure in heart. Purity, in its full and complete sense, is recognizing God alone as the only real Cause, and the only real Power in existence. It is what is called elsewhere in the Sermon“the single eye.”
Note that Jesus speaks of the pure in heart. The word heart in the Bible usually means that part of man’s mentality that modern psychology knows under the name of the “subconscious mind.” This is exceedingly important because it is not sufficient for us to accept the Truth with the conscious mind only. At that stage it is still a mere opinion. It is not until it is accepted by the subconscious mind, and thus assimilated into the whole mentality, that it can make any difference in one’s character or life.
…as he thinketh in his heart, so is he (Proverbs 23:7).
The way to know something is accepted by the subconscious is when we act as if it is the true reality in our conscious mind. The proof that something has been accepted by our subconscious and conscious is that we act accordingly. For instance, because we fully accept the reality of gravity in both minds, we do not walk off of high buildings.
When we truly accept that God is the only true cause and power in the universe, our entire mentality changes. That is when we can live in the true reality; that God wants us to live each day in joy, peace and love in the garden.
Seeing God?
