Understanding – The Realization of Right Relationship

It is no great achievement for one who follows the leading of spirit within to forecast the future.  To Spirit the future is a succession of events based on the ideas revolving in the mind at present.  Whoever rides into his own ideal realm can read his future for himself.  He finds there a chain of causes at work that he can easily see will produce certain results…  In spirit, cause and effect are one.  They appear as one, and the ultimate is just as clear as the inception.                                                                     Keep a True Lent by Charles Fillmore,

Never say, "I don't know," "I don't understand."  Claim your Christ understanding at all times, and declare: I am not under any spell of human ignorance.  I am one with infinite understanding.  You may know by simply holding the thought that you know.  This is not egotism, but spiritual knowing.  When you declare divine understanding, you sometimes meet your old line of thought and are disappointed.  Right then continue to hold to your declaration for knowing.  Judge not by appearances.  Do not act until you get the assurance; if you keep close to Spirit by affirmation, the assurance will come. 

Will it come by voice?  No!  You will know through the faculty of intuition.  Divine knowing is direct fusion of mind of God with mind of man.  Sometimes we are taught by symbols, visions, and the like, but this is only one of the ways that Divine Mind has of expressing itself.  When the mind deals with God ideals it asks for no symbols, visible or invisible, but rests on pure knowing.  It was in this consciousness that Jesus said: "Father, I thank You that You hear me.  And I know that you always here me."

The problem of self-control is never settled until all that man is comes into touch with the Divine will and understanding.  You must understand all your forces before you can establish them in harmony.  This overcoming is easy if you go about it in the right way.  Get your I AM centered in God, and from that place of Truth speak true words.  In this way you will gain real spiritual mastery and raise your will consciousness from the human to the divine.

We work on the Power of Understanding by using our five senses.  There always comes a time when we want to know more.  That is the time for us to ask to seek to knock.  Have you noticed how sometimes you do not even know what the question is?  But the bottom line is if we do not seek and ask, trying different things nothing will happen.  The key to our understanding is prayer, just as Jacob paused during his travel and went to God.  God always knows the answer even when we do no know what we are seeking!
