The invisible world

The invisible world

Your world is invisible, the world of your spiritual life within; but invisible also is the world of rumor, ethnic fears, ignorance, the greed of multitudes, public opinion and human passions. All these are invisible. So are creative inspiration, honest endeavor and integrity. Invisible also is the intent which makes the true servant of medicine, that which is behind the long hours and personal sacrifice; all this is faith invisible. Many who see a sword see but a blade of sharpened steel; but it is a symbol of anger, pain, annihilation and woe. Those who look and are held captive out there by what they see are amazed and bewildered when invisible forces suddenly focus into an event. They are startled and disturbed when the hidden forces the mind has qualified are manifested in action.
You who from desire for truth and eternal beauty have stepped out upon the great adventure are coming out of that strange captivity, the prison of ignorance, and when you realize the invisible while in the visible, the incarnate in the carnate, the Holy Spirit in flesh and blood, spirit in matter, thought back of the material world. You have learned your first lesson. Have pity upon the tortured soul who has been deformed by that which is silent within him. Because of the invisible world of mind and thought we can reach one another. Because of the omnipotence of the Holy Spirit we can make gifts of healing and peace, without a word. In this way we obey the second commandment of Christ.
The invisible is the only reality. Honor is invisible, and so is love. Yet they last and all else crumbles and changes. Go forth, then, beloved invisible ones, knowing that you have touched the only reality. The place where you now stand you have reached through listening, following an invisible desire, a vision which pierced the dark. There is great tenderness for you when your feet are weary and your shoulders are tired of the burden and your emotions smother you with fear. Ill-smelling winds blow upon you from those places where liberty has been imprisoned, honor defiled and greed unmasked. You hear it in voices, it sweeps across the daily news, and meets you at every turning. You are in a sea of invisible negatives if you look down — all ancient, all insistent. They challenged me and my father and my father’s father and they challenge you. Face them! For all these things are met at some time. Face them and then look up and see them no longer. He that dwells within is the light of the world and can shine through your every act if you will but obey, live in his presence and keep illumined in his light.
Therefore shine and take great heart whether there are wars or rumors of wars, alarms and confusion and all the high cry of chaos, for through him abiding within you can fulfill your privilege of life and bring light into darkness. Keep your mind a lighted lamp.
