Christian Psychology · Luke 12:12

Christian Psychology

There is a teacher in the mind that does not need to be prepared, that answers not from the store of yesterday's fear but from the living present, and it speaks the moment a mind grows quiet enough to let it. What is given in the very hour of need is never rehearsed, because love does not plan a defense; it simply responds from a certainty the ego cannot counterfeit. The mind that trusts this does not go empty into its trials but accompanied.

When a mind stops straining to find its own words, the right ones arrive on their own, for the help it was scrambling to provide for itself was quietly present all along.

  • Holy Ghost: the teacher of love within the mind, the voice that answers in the present without rehearsal and needs no defense prepared.

Esoteric

The body is the temple, and its living stones are the cells and centers of a person, each one set in place to raise a house that is spiritual rather than made of dead rock. To be a holy priesthood is to have every part of oneself consecrated to the inner work, and the sacrifices offered are the lower appetites given up so the higher life can rise. The house being built is the awakened body itself, assembled from within out of what is alive in you.

  • Lively stones: the living cells and centers of the body, each set in its place
  • Spiritual house: the awakened body raised as a temple from within
  • Holy priesthood: every part of a person consecrated to the inner work
