PERSONAL SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE ABOUT GOD

All of us would like to have proof of God.

Many of us are taught ABOUT God, but it is only in the realm of the inner life that we can finally find this proof OF God for ourselves and in ourselves through our own personal spiritual experience with God.

Personal spiritual experience is the cornerstone of the religion of Jesus.

When we step out into the faith adventure with God, relying solely on the leading and authority of our inner pilot (the Thought Adjuster ) we gain valuable experience as to the reality and the presence of God.

We also gain valuable experience as to the love of God and the surety of his guidance.

Further, we gain assurance of our sonship with God, and ever more certain of our survival in eternity.

Said Jesus:

"I have called upon you to be born again, to be born of the spirit.

I have called you out of the darkness of authority and the lethargy of tradition into the transcendent light of the realization of the possibility of making for yourselves the greatest discovery possible for the human soul to make—the supernal experience of finding God for yourself, in yourself, and of yourself, and of doing all this as a fact in your own personal experience.

And so may you pass from death to life, from the authority of tradition to the experience of knowing God;

thus will you pass from darkness to light, from a racial faith inherited to a personal faith achieved by actual experience;

and thereby will you progress from a theology of mind handed down by your ancestors to a true religion of spirit which shall be built up in your souls as an eternal endowment.

"Your religion shall change from the mere intellectual belief in traditional authority to the actual experience of that living faith which is able to grasp the reality of God and all that relates to the divine spirit of the Father.

The religion of the mind ties you hopelessly to the past;

the religion of the spirit consists in progressive revelation and ever beckons you on toward higher and holier achievements in spiritual ideals and eternal realities."
