Today, Monday, April 18, is the thirty-fifth day of Lent. Lent is the period of time during which we can prepare ourselves for the Easter experience.
 
 
Assignment 35
 
Man already is above personality and above individuality, a complete being because he is a moving part of all that is. All the division of his being are but the surface judgment – the real, complete of him is not in any way a separate entity.
 
It is only in becoming aware of the whole does an individual lose the separate self. Man is divided into families, cities, countries, religions, races, but above all and through all is the One, the transparent race of God! God, is the one essence that cannot be divided in any way, but only “seems to be” in the realm of man’s conclusions.
 
We feel we are changing, and yet that which we think we are changing into we already are in reality! We always have been the outer expression of a timeless, all powerful essence that in our groping we have named God. We have separated ourselves in our thinking and feeling from this which cannot be divided or changed in reality. We know many things that are not true.
 
We speak of the new being and the new race of men, but we are simply going to shake off our dream world of outer beliefs and consciousness and come into our own, that which we have always been – perhaps it will be coming forth out of a nightmare of unawareness, a maze of illusions, and the cobweb of not knowing.
 
“There shall be a loftier race than e’er the world hath known, shall rise. With flame of freedom in their souls and light of knowledge in their eyes.” (Symonds)
 
We must realize our spiritual nature before we can reap its benefits. You are this which is, which always has been, and which fills all and all. This is true of every living soul. We are the executive power of this which is being. It is being all of us. Why do we not use the power and authority that is ours?
 
We cannot lift ourselves from the heavy drunkenness of what we think we are. We do not conceive of our possibilities. We are only aware of flesh and blood, body and brains. These are but the outer garments of the Spirit. You are the most important thing in all the world to you, for you are all potential Power! This potential includes the body, the human form, as well as the mind and the soul.
