But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

“Reflections From Infinite Mind”
Finding Our
True Self … p. 41
Were we for a moment to consider that age-old admonition “Know Thyself,” it is reasonable to assume our thoughts would be directed to our bodily senses; those that govern the routine of everyday life. Thoughts so directed, however, would be of no avail. The “self,” the true self, is not to be found in mortal mind or body. The true self is one with Divine Mind: A oneness with God. The act of knowing ourself is a process of spiritual enlightenment stemming from an earnest desire to know God. It means a conscious admission in the presence of God that we know nothing; that we humbly surrender to God our errant willfulness, asking that His will be done. As we come to know that God lives in us and we in Him, we sense a transformation within: We are on His path, at peace.
