Here they talk about a temple.

When they stepped from the water to the farther bank
I felt that tons of weight had been lifted off my
shoulders and I believe this was the feeling of every
one of our party judging from the sighs of relief as
the last man stepped ashore. It certainly was an
experience that words fail to describe. The seven
belonging to our party returned for lunch. While the
excitement was not so intense at the second crossing
every one of us breathed more freely when the seven
were safe ashore again. Not one of our party had left
the bank of the stream that forenoon. There was very
little discussion regarding what we had witnessed so
engrossed were we with our own thoughts. The second day
the company was toiling up the steep side of a mountain
with the hot sun pouring down upon us when our Chief
who had said but little during the last two days
suddenly remarked 'Boys why is it that man is obliged
to crawl and grovel over this earth?' We answered in
chorus that he had voiced our thoughts exactly. He went
on to say 'How is it if a few are able to do the things
we have seen accomplished that all men cannot
accomplish the same things? How is it that man is
content to crawl and not only content to crawl but is
obliged to do so? If man was given dominion over all
things he was certainly given power to fly above the
birds. If this is his dominion why has he not asserted
this dominion long ago? The fault must certainly be in
man's own mind. This must all have come about by man's
own mortal concept of himself.
He has only been able in his own mind to see himself
crawling thus he has only been able to crawl. 'Then
Jast took up the thought and said 'You are perfectly
right it is all in man's consciousness. He is limited
or unlimited bound or free just as he thinks. Do you
think that the men you saw walk across the stream
yesterday to save themselves the inconvenience of this
trip are in any way special creations any more than you
are? No. They are not created in any way different from
you. They do not have one atom more power than you were
created with. They have by the right use of their
thought forces developed their G-d-given power. The
things you have seen are accomplished in accord with
definite law and every human being can use the law if
he will.'
Chapter IX
Located in this village was The H-aling Temple. It is
claimed that only words of Life, Love, and Peace have
been given expression in this temple since its
erection and the vibrations are so potent that nearly
all who pass through the temple are instantly he-led.
It is also claimed the words of Life, Love, and Peace
have been used and sent out so long from this temple
and the vibrations emanating from them are so strong
that should words of inharmony and imperfection be used
at any time they would have no power. We were told that
this is an illustration of what takes place in man. If
he would practice sending forth words of Life, Love,
Harmony, Peace, and Perfection he would in a short time
not be able to utter an inharmonious word. We attempted
to use inharmonious words and found in each instance
that we could not even utter them. This temple was the
destination of those of the company who were seeking
healing. It is the custom for the M-sters who are in
the vicinity to congregate at this village at certain
intervals for a season of devotion and instruction to
those who wish to avail themselves of the op****tunity.
The temple is dedicated entirely to hea-ing and is open
to the people at all times. As it is not always
possible for the people to reach the Mas-ers the
Mast-rs encourage the people to go to the temple for
hea-ing. This is the reason they do not hea- those that
congregate for the pilgrimages. They accompany the
pilgrims to show the people that they are no different
than themselves that all have the same -od-given power
within. I suspect that when they crossed the river that
morning they did it to show that they could rise above
any emergency and that we should also rise above any
emergency. In places not accessible to this temple all
who come to the Masters for help are greatly benefited.
Of course there are the curious and those who do not
believe that do not seem to receive any help. We
witnessed a number of assemblages of from two hundred
to two thousand people and all those desiring -ealing
were h-aled. A great many told us they were he-led by
declaring silently that they desired to be made whole.
We had the op****tunity to observe a large number of
those hea-ed at different times and we found that about
ninety per cent of these -ealings were permanent while
all the healings in the temple seemed to be permanent.
It was explained that the temple is a concrete thing
located in one place representing the G-d center the
C-rist in the individual just as all c-urches should
typify this Go- or Ch-ist center in the individual and
that it is always accessible to those desiring to go
there. They could go to the temple as often as they
chose and stay as long as they wished. The ideal is
thus formed in the minds of those who come to it and
the ideal becomes fixed in mind. Emil said 'Right here
comes the suggestion that has led to the i-olatry of
the past. Men sought to grave in wood or stone, gold,
silver or brass the image of that which they idealized
but any id-l can only imperfectly picture the ideal.
The image, the ido-, is no sooner formed than men
become conscious that the ideal surp***** the -dol and
they are shown that they must gaze upon love and
idealize for themselves that which they wish to bring
forth from the within instead of graving any i-ol in
outer form of the ideal they would express. A later
form of id-latry is to idealize the personality of the
one who expresses our ideal. We should idealize the
ideal which he expresses and not the personality which
expresses it. This is true even of so great a person as
Je--s. Thus Jes-- chose to go away when He saw the
people were idealizing His personality instead of the
ideal which He represented. They sought to make Him
their King only realizing that He could supply them
with every outer need not recognizing that they within
themselves had the power to supply their every need and
that this they must do as He Himself had done. He said
`It is expedient that I go away for if I do not go the
Comforter will not come' meaning that as long as they
looked to His personality they would not recognize
their own powers. For they must look within within
their very selves.'
Another may teach or tell you but you of yourselves
must do the work for if you look to another you build
the i-ol instead of bringing forth the ideal.'
Chapter X
Emil talked to us on the realization of the Chr-st
Consciousness. He said 'It is through the power of our
own mind or thought action that we are able to bring
forth or realize the Chri-t Consciousness. Through the
power or process of thought we can transmute and evolve
our bodies or our outer conditions and surroundings
through recognition of this Chri-t Consciousness within
ourselves so that we will never experience d-ath nor
any change called de-th. This is done wholly through
man's power to visualize, idealize, conceive and bring
forth that which he gazes upon. This is done by first
knowing or perceiving or having faith that the Chris-
is within ourselves seeing the true meaning of J--us'
teaching, holding our body one with -od made in the
image and likeness of G-d and merging that body into
the perfect -od body just as G-d sees us. We have
idealized, conceived and brought forth into
manifestation the perfect Go- body. We are `born again'
truly of and in the S-irit Kingdom of Go-.' It is in
this way that we can return all things to the Universal
Mind Substance from which they sprang and bring them
back or return them perfect into outer form or
manifestation. Then by holding them in their pure
sp-ritual perfect state the vibrations are lowered and
the things we wish to create come forth in perfect
form. In this way we can take every false belief every
old condition, every s-n, all of our past life, it does
not matter what it has been, how good or seeming bad it
does not matter what mountain of false belief or doubt
and unbelief or fear we or anyone else have erected
about us or in our paths and we can say to them all `In
now return you to the great ocean of Universal Mind
Substance from which all things come forth and where
all is perfection and from which you sprang there to be
again resolved into the elements from which you were
created. I now return you or bring you back from that
pure substance as perfect and pure as Go- sees you and
hold you always in that absolute perfection.'
We can say to ourselves `I now realize in the old
order of things that I brought you forth imperfectly
and you manifest imperfectly. Realizing the Truth I now
bring you forth perfect as -od sees you. You are reborn
perfect and 'it is so.' We must realize that the inner
alchemist G-d within has taken hold of this and has
transmuted, refined and perfected that which seemed
imperfect that which we brought forth and are now
returning. We should realize that it is refined
perfected and transmuted just as our own bodies are
refined, perfected and returned to us as Go-'s body
joyously perfect, beautifully free.
