Last week we considered the Preface and the First Conversation in the little book The Practice of the Presence of God - The Best Rule of a Holy Life, by Brother Lawrence. 

The essence of what was covered is as follows: 

We learned the importance of establishing ourselves in a ongoing sense of God’s presence, of continually conversing with God, and of feeding and nourishing our souls with high notions of God, practices which bring feelings of great joy into our everday experience. In other words, we are to praise God and give thanks to God in an ongoing basis, in order to develop a continuing sense of God’s presence in our life through an ever-deepening feeling of gratitude.

And we are to do this without being overly concerned about others “sins” or misdeeds, praying for them but simply leaving that all in God’s hands.

Encouraged to quicken, or enliven, our faith, we are to “give ourselves up to God” in both temporal and spiritual things. As we are faithful in times of “dryness or insensibilities or irksomeness in prayer” we will find that these can be times of spiritual advancement.

Even when we cannot feel God’s presence, we are to continue in our faith in God, in our praise and gratitude toward God for all the blessings in our life.

As we are attentive to our passions in both spiritual and material things, God will give light and direction to those who truly desire to serve God’s highest purpose for our lives.

This week, we turn to the “Second Conversation.”

SECOND CONVERSATION

That he had always been governed by love, without selfish views; and that having resolved to make the love of God the end of all his actions, he had found reasons to be well satisfied with his method. That he was pleased when he could take up a straw from the ground for the love of God, seeking Him only, and nothing else, not even His gifts.

That he had been long troubled in mind from a certain belief that he should be damned; that all men in the world could not have persuaded him to the contrary; but that he had thus reasoned with himself about it: I engaged in a religious life only for the love of God, and I have endeavored to act only for Him; whatever becomes of me, whether I be lost or saved, I will always continue to act purely for the love of God. I shall have this good at least, that till death I shall have done all that is in me to love Him.

That this trouble of mind had lasted four years, during which time he had suffered much; but that at last he had seen that this trouble arose from want of faith, and that since then he had passed his life in perfect liberty and continual joy. That he had placed his sins betwixt him and God, as it were, to tell Him that he did not deserve His favors, but that God still continued to bestow them in abundance.

That in order to form a habit of conversing with God continually, and referring all we do to Him, we must at first apply to Him with some diligence; but that after a little care we should find His love inwardly excite us to it without any difficulty.

That he expected, after the pleasant days God had given him, that he should have his turn of pain and suffering; but that he was not uneasy about it, knowing very well that as he could do nothing of himself, God would not fail to give him strength to bear it.

That when an occasion of practicing some virtue offered, he addressed himself to God, saying, “Lord, I cannot do this unless Thou enablest me;” and that then he received strength more than sufficient.

That when he had failed in his duty, he only confessed to his fault, saying to God, “I shall never do otherwise if you leave me to myself; it is You who must hinder my falling, and mend what is amiss.” That after this he gave himself no further uneasiness about it.

That we ought to act with God in the greatest simplicity, speaking to Him frankly and plainly, and imploring His assistance in our affairs, just as they happen. That God never failed to grant it, as he had often experienced.

That he had lately been sent into Burgundy, to buy the provision of wine for the society, which was a very unwelcome task for him, because he had no turn for business, and because he was lame and could not go about the boat but by rolling himself over the casks. That, however, he gave himself no uneasiness about it, nor about the purchase of the wine. That he said to God, It was His business he was about, and that he afterward found it very well performed. That he had been sent into Auvergne, the year before, upon the same account; that he could not tell how the matter passed, but that it proved very well.

So, likewise, in his business in the kitchen (to which he had naturally a great aversion), having accustomed himself to do everything there for the love of God, and with prayer, upon all occasions, for His grace to do his work well, he had found everything easy, during fifteen years that he had been employed there.

That he was very well pleased with the post he was now in; but that he was as ready to quit that as the former, since he was always pleasing himself in every condition by doing little things for the love of God.

That with him the set times of prayer were not different from other times; that he retired to pray, according to the directions of his superior, but that he did not want such retirement, nor ask for it, because his greatest business did not divert him from God.

That as he knew his obligation to love God in all things, and as he endeavored so to do, he had no need of a director to advise him, but that he needed much a confessor to absolve him. That he was very sensible of his faults, but not discouraged by them; that he confessed them to God, but did not plead against Him to excuse them. When he had so done, he peaceably resumed his usual practice of love and adoration.

That in his trouble of mind he had consulted nobody, but knowing only by the light of faith that God was present, he contented himself with directing all his actins to Him, i.e., doing them with a desire to please Him, let what would come of it.

That useless thoughts spoil all; that the mischief began there; but that we ought to reject them as soon as we perceived their impertinence to the matter in hand, or our salvation, and return to our communion with God.

That at the beginning he had often passed his time appointed for prayer in rejectng wandering thoughts and falling back into them. That he could never regulate his devotion by certain methods as some do. That, nevertheless, at first he had meditated for some time, but afterward that went off, in a manner he could give no account of.

That all bodily mortifications and other exercises are useless, except as they serve to arrive at the union with God by love; that he had well considered this, and found it the shortest way to go straight to Him  by a continual exercise of love and doing all things for His sake.

That we ought to make a great difference between the acts of the understanding and those of the will; that the first were comparatively of little value, and the others, all. That our only business was to love and delight ourselves in God.

That all possible kinds of mortification, if they were void of the love of God, could not efface a single sin. That we ought, without anxiety, to expect the pardon of our sins from the blood of Jesus Christ, only endeavoring to love Him with all our hearts. That God seemed to have granted the greatest favors to the greatest sinners, as more signal monuments of His mercy.

That the greatest pains or pleasures of this world were not to be compated with what he had experienced of both kinds in a spiritual state; so that he was careful for nothing and feared nothing, desiring only one thing of God, viz., that he might not offend Him.

That he had no scruples; for, said he, when I fail in my duty, I readily acknowledge it, saying, I am used to do so; I shall never do otherwise if I am left to myself. If I fail not, then I give God thanks, acknowledging that the strength comes from Him.

 Enjoy this great story and its powerful message, by my friend Alan Cohen:

Fritz Kreisler was a skilled and devoted violinist who had a lifelong dream to own a Stradivarius. For many years Fritz worked hard to earn enough money to buy the coveted instrument. Finally he took his life savings to New York City’s music district and searched many stores. After numerous inquiries, he found a shop with a Stradivarius for sale. The shopkeeper went to the back of the store, removed the violin from under lock and key, and showed it to Fritz.

    Fritz’s eyes lit up and his heart began to pound as he held the delicate instrument to his neck and began to play. Heavenly tones sang forth, and Fritz knew this was indeed the instrument he had dreamed of. When he asked the owner the price, Fritz was shocked to learn it was twice the amount he had saved.

    “Can we work out a payment plan?” asked Fritz hopefully.

    “Sorry, we don’t do that,” answered the shopkeeper.

    “Then will you hold the violin for me until I can borrow more money to purchase it?”    

    “I’m afraid I cannot do that, either, sir. “If someone comes in and offers the asking price, I will have to sell it to that customer.”

    Fritz went home and scurried to gather together more money from friends and investors. He made slow progress, but within a month he found people to help him. Eagerly he returned to the music store and told the owner he was now able to make the purchase.

    “You’re just a little late,” the shopkeeper explained. “A few days ago a wealthy collector came in and purchased the Stradivarius.”

    Fritz was crestfallen. He had come so close to having his heart’s desire! On his way out of the store, an idea occurred to him. He turned and asked the shopkeeper, “Would you give me the name of that collector? I will contact him directly and ask if he would sell to me.”

    The shopkeeper gave Fritz the information and he made an appointment to go see the owner. “It has been my lifelong dream to own this instrument,” Fritz told the fellow. “Would you consider selling it to me? I think I can get some more money to purchase it from you at a profit.”

    The owner shook his head and answered, “I’d like to help you out, but I know the value of this violin. It is the jewel of my collection. I intend to keep it as an heirloom.”

    “I understand,” answered Fritz. “Perhaps, then, you would let me play the violin for just a minute of two. It would mean a lot to me, and I will keep the memory for a lifetime.”

    The collector consented and handed Fritz the violin. Joyfully Fritz took up the bow and, knowing he would never play this violin again, made the instrument sing with absolute passion. After a few minutes he returned the violin to its owner, thanked the man, and made his way to the door.

    As Fritz had his hand on the doorknob, the owner called him back. “Don’t go,” he told him. “You made such beautiful music. I bought this violin simply as a collector’s item. You will bring more happiness and beauty to the world with it than I will. The violin belongs to you. Here, please take it.”

    Society’s rules of ownership are superseded by a profound spiritual principle called The Right of Consciousness. You own what you own not by money or force, but by your love for it and your spiritual connection to it. If something is deeply imbedded in your soul, it belongs to you. It comes to you and adheres to you by your appreciation and right use of it. While it appears that external rules govern who owns what, the prevailing law is the Right of Consciousness.

    You cannot get what you have not earned by right of consciousness. If you are trying to attract a mate, job, or living situation, you must be equal to it in your thoughts and feelings. You must love it, know you deserve it, and hold a vision for healthy, joyful use of it. Then and only then will it come to you, and without struggle or strain. You don’t have to fight for it; you just have to be one with it.

    When your consciousness is ripe for the object of your heart’s desire, it will come naturally. It will not require a miracle or quantum leap. It will be in the flow as your logical next step. And no one will be able to take it from you. Jealousy is a form of insecurity, and represents ignorance of the principle of Right Consciousness. If you are matched with something you truly deserve by your unity with it, it is yours by universal law, and no one can interfere.

    A Course in Miracles tells us, “You are under no laws but God’s.” Behind all the rules people create, eternal principles are operating flawlessly. Justice is always being accomplished by the power of intention. Found yourself in spiritual law, and everything you want and deserve will come to you and stay with you by virtue of love.

Mahatma Gandhi once said: “My life is my message.”

So, what’s your message?

And is it your truth?

When you choose a path that is honorable and true to yourself as well as others, your life story begins in earnest.

Your life becomes a message - an inspiration to others.

Your message can change the world for the better. You can inspire one person or change the lives of many.

Even the smallest change can make a difference.

As long as truth runs throughout your story, you will always be on the right path.

Even if that path becomes difficult at times, you will know in your heart that the journey is the right one.

Life is an adventure and the journey is the reward.

So, what adventure are you going to have?

Remember, you have a choice. You always have a choice.

So start creating your life story.

Remember, you can be the hero of your story - you can save the world and even have time for romance!

Make sure your stary has an inspiring message running through it.

And think on - every good story has a happy ending!

Last week, I introduced you - or re-introduced you - to the little book, The Practice of the Presence of God - The Best Rule of a Holy Life, with the idea that I would share excerpts of the book with you over the next several weeks. In this way, you can let the message of Brother Lawrence resonate in your mind and heart perhaps in a new way and by so doing you can experience a new level of spiritual development in your own life.

Please remember, as you read and digest, that the language and the way of expression in this book are from a far different time. The edition that I am using was printed in 1895, and there were other editions prior to this. So you have to make allowances for some of the old terminology and not let it serve as a block to the powerful spiritual understanding you can gain from this classic spiritual text.

From the Preface, then, we read the following:

This book consists of notes of several conversations had with, and letters written by, Nicholas Herman, of Lorraine, a lowly and unlearned man, who, after having been a footman and soldier, was admitted a Lay brother among the barefooted Carmelites at Paris in 1666, and was afterward known as “Brother Lawrence.”

His conversion, which took place when he was about eighteen years old, was the result, under God, of the mere sight in midwinter of a dry and leafless tree, and of the reflections it stirred respecting the change the coming spring would bring.

From that time he grew eminently in the knowledge and love of God, endeavoring constantly to walk “as in His presence.” No wilderness wanderings seem to have intervened between the Red Sea and the Jordan of his experience. A wholly consecrated man, he lived his Christin life through as a pilgrim, as a steward and not as an owner, and died at the age of eighty, leaving a name which has been as “ointment poured forth.”

The ”Conversations” are supposed to have been written by M. Beaufort, Grand Vicar to M. de Chalons, formerly Cardinal de Noailles, by whose recommendation the “Letters” were first published.

The book has, within a short time, gone through repeated editions, and has been a means of blessing to many souls. It contains very much of that widom which only lips the Lord has touched can express, and which only hearts He has made teachable can receive.

May this edition also be blessed by God, and redound to the praise of the glory of His grace.

FIRST CONVERSATION

The first time I saw Brother Lawrence was upon the 3rd of August, 1666. He told me that God had dome him a singular favor in his conversion at the age of eighteen.

That in the winter, seeing a tree stripped of its leaves, and considering that within a little time the leaves would be renewed, and after that the flowers and fruit appear, he received a high view of the providence and power of God, which has never since been effaced from his soul. That this view had perfectly set him loose from the world, and kindled in him such a love for God that he could not tell whether it had increased during the more than forty years he had lived since. 

That he had been footman to M. Fieubert, the treasurer, and that he was a great awkward fellow who broke everything.

That he had desired to be received into a monastery, thinking that he would there be made to smart for his awkwardness and the faults he should commit, and so he should sacrifice to God his life, with its pleasures; but that God had disappointed him, he having met with nothing but satisfaction in that state.

That we should establish ourselves in a sense of God’s presence by continually conversing with Him. That it was a shameful thing to quit His conversation to think of trifles and fooleries.

That we should feed and nourish our souls with high notions of God; which would yield us great joy in being devoted to Him.

That we ought to quicken - i.e. to enliven - our faith. That it was lamentable we had so little; and that instead of taking faith for the rule of their conduct, men amused themselves with trivial devotions, which changed daily. That the way of faith was the spirit of the church, and that it was sufficient to bring us to a high degree of perfection.

That we ought to give ourselves up to God, with regard both to things temporal and spiritual, and seek our satisfaction only in the fulfilling of His will, whether He lead us by suffering or by consolation, for all would be equal to a soul truly resigned.

That there needed fidelity in those drynesses or insensibilities and irksomenesses in prayer by which God tries our love to Him; that then was the time for us to make good and effectual acts of resignation, whereof one would oftentimes very much promote our spiritual advancement.

That as for the miseries and sins he heard of daily in the world, he was so far from wondering at them that, on the contrary, he was surprised that there were not more, considering the malice sinners were capable of; that, for his part, he prayed for them; but knowing that God could remedy the mischiefs they did when He pleased, he gave himself no further trouble.

That to arrive at such resignation as God requires, we should watch attentively over all the passions which mingle as well in spiritual things as in those of a grosser nature; that God would give light concerning those passions to those who truly desire to serve Him. That if this was my desire, viz., sincerely to serve God, I might come to him (Brother Lawrence) as often as I pleased, without any fear of being troublesome; but if not, that I ought no more to visit him.

One of the very most difficult times of my life was when I was first in the Ministerial Training program at Unity Village. My first wife, the mother of my four children, and I had made the decision to divorce. After agonizing over whether to split up the children and deciding we couldn’t do that, my wife and the children returned to England.

It was November, a cold but sunny winter day. Heartbroken, I went up into the apple orchard at Unity Village to get away for a while and to cry and scream at God. Why was this happening in this place where I thought everything would come together? Everything seemed to be coming apart. I collapsed under an apple tree and looked up at a bare winter branch outlined against the blue sky.

Looking at the branch and at the scars on the branch where fruit and leaves had fallen, I remembered a story I had read about Brother Lawrence, a Carmelite monk whose conversion took place when the sight of a bare and leafless tree in mid-winter caused him to reflect upon the change the coming spring would bring.

In that moment, I knew that spring would come again for me and my life would blossom again and bear fruit. I have never forgotten that moment. To make firm the sight of that bare but promising branch in my mind, I was led to get some art materials and paint the image I carried. It wasn’t a very good painting, but it served to remind me throughout my time in ministerial school and many times since of the promise of God’s presence in my life.

Remembering that experience, I thought it might be helpful for you - my subscribers to Spiritual Solutions - to become familiar with the little book of the spiritual path described by Brother Lawrence. It is likely that you have already read the book, but bringing it to mind again may perhaps provide a powerful blessing and open the door to a greater realization of God’s presence in your life.

In any case, in the next several weeks, I will bring excerpts of the book to you through my blog and Spiritual Solutions so that you can take your time and take its wisdom piecemeal into your mind and heart as you apply what Brother Lawrence called “The Practice of the Presence of God - the best rule of a holy life” in your own everyday experience.

Let me begin this journey by sharing with you the Introduction to the book, written in 1897 by a wonderful spiritual writer in her own right, Hannah Whitall Smith:

The value of this little book is its extreme simplicity. The trouble with most of the religion of the day is its extreme complexity. “Brother Lawrence” was not troubled with any theological difficulties or doctrinal dilemmas. For him these did not exist. His one single aim was to bring about a conscious personal union between himself and God, and he took the shortest cut he could find to accomplish it. The result can best be described in his own words: “If I dare use the expression, I should choose to call this state the bosom of God, for the inexpressible sweetness which I taste and experience there.”

What Brother Lawrence did all can do. No theological training nor any especial theological views are needed for the blessed “practice” he recommends. No gorgeous churches, nor stately cathedral, nor elaborate ritual, could either make or mar it. A kitchen and an altar were as one to him; and to pick up a straw from the ground was as grand a service as to preach to multitudes. “The time of business,” said he, “does not with me differ from the time of prayer; and in the noise and clutter of my kitchen, while several persons are at the same time calling for different things, I possess God in as great tranquillity as if I were upon my knees at the blessed sacrament.”

This litle book, therefore, seems to me one of the most helpful I know. It fits into the lives of all human beings, let them be rich or poor, learned or unlearned, wise or simple. The woman at her was-tub, or the stone-breaker on the road, can carry on the “practice” here taught with as much ease and as much assurance of success as the priest at his altar or the missionary to his field of work.

All must feel that anything that brings the religion of Christ within reach of overworked and poverty-stricken humanity, in the midst of its ignorance and its helplessness, is a priceless boon, and this is what Brother Lawrence does. His “practice” requires neither time, nor talents, nor training. At any moment, in the midst of any occupation, under any circumstances, the soul that wants to know God can “practice the presence” and can come to the knowledge. The Lord of hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our refuge, let the “seemings” be what they may; and we need but to recognize this as a continual, ever-present fact, and the inexpressible sweetness to which Brother Lawrence attained will become ours.

(Hannah Whitall Smith, London, 1897)

I hope everything is beautiful in your world today.

After all, your thoughts have created your reality.

You can choose to see that beautiful, exciting, fun world that’s out there.

Or, you can choose to harbor thoughts that are limiting and which hold you back.

When we go to school, we are given a wide introduction to the subjects that make up the world around us - science, art, geography, math, languages and so forth, yet we are not taught just how our thoughts are responsible for our actions.

If Personal Growth was on the school curriculum, just imagine what the potential would be for well-rounded, loving, peaceful individuals.

We would learn the value of setting good intentions and right action from an early age.

Still, it’s never too late to realize that our thoughts do create our reality.

What’s more, we have a choice about what thoughts to keep and which ones to eliminate.

Set good intentions from the moment you wake up and greet the day.

Believe that your life just gets better and better.

Look for the beauty in everything around you and start creating that beautiful world you so richly deserve.

Become a poet - view life through a poet’s eyes.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge once said: “The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions - the little soon-forgotten charities of a kiss, a smile, a kind look, a heartfelt compliment in the disguise of a playful raillery, and the countless other infinitesimals of pleasurable thought and genial feeling.”

There is beauty in everymoment, every single day.

Choose to live with beauty in your life - with Coleridge’s infinitesimals of pleasurable thought and genial feeling - and your life will be so much more!

What does success mean to you?

Prosperity, health, happiness, fulfillment, peace of mind?

While seeking to walk upon a path that leads to success in life, how many of us are prepared to realize or accept that we fashion the very path upon which we walk?

If you are waiting for the right path, the right moment, the right opportunity, you wait in vain - for the moment is now, in this place, in this circumstance!

In a quiet moment of realization, you may discover that in your determination to find life you have run from life. In your effort to get something from life, perhaps you have not yet fully understood that to get, one must give.

In seeking to change circumstances, conditions, or others, you find that you have changed nothing. In attempting to lift the veil that obscures, it often seems that you have deepened the darkness.

How, then, shall we find that which we seek?

The way is not far, it is near. It is not mysterious or difficult to comprehend. The path to success in life is simple. We must change, not others, circumstances, or conditions, but ourselves.

You already know the meaningful things of life: kindness, friendship, gentleness, sharing, compassion, encouragement, trust, love, understanding, interest. Remember that others seek and falter just as you do.

If you would step on the path of purpose it is necessary to give purpose to your path, to give the very things you seek.

If you would have ideas, give your wonderful mind the opportunity to bring forth and develop ideas and share them with others.

If you would receive encouragement and understanding, be gentle and considerate to others.

If you would dispel loneliness, share your love with others.

Instad of looking for meaning in life, realize that you are, yourself, that meaning.

And realize, too, that your good comes from one source but through many channels, not always the same one you gave to.

Decide and determine for yourself:

“Each step I take this day will be upon the path of purpose. I contribute purposefully and constructively to life!”
