EMMA ONLY
April 2004
These are extracts from the book
"The Art of Vision" purportedly by Serena Chamberlain, based
on her lessons with Emma on High Mysticism. These were added at the end
of each precept and written by Emma herself. If anyone knows of the
whereabouts of this book please contact me, as all I have is a Xerox
copy of the second half.
RESUME OF SEVENTH
LESSON IN HIGH MYSTICISM
BY E.C.H.
WRITTEN EXCLUSIVELY FOR E.A.C.
"And the Seventh Angel sounded, and
there were great voices in heaven, saying: The Kingdoms of this world
are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and His Christ." Rev.11:15
"These are the things that ye shall do: Speak every man Truth to his
neighbor." Zech. 8:16
"And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his
neighbor." Zech. 8:17
The last six lessons relate to our
relations to our fellowmen.
We always see the environment of one whose name we silently, vehemently
call upon. So we see the Free Self of all the people on earth instead of
the burdened self when we look toward them; for this is the way the Lord
of Life and glory now sees them.
The Real Self of our neighbor is free, strong, deathless. Upon this
free, deathless Self we can set our vision, even though the two outer eyes are beholding the form of pain and decay.
We can describe the free, strong, beautiful Self. It comes forth at our
warm praises and shows in the form and face of the hitherto disturbed
form of our neighbor.
As God is too pure to behold iniquity, so our eyes are purified by the
mystic understanding charging the Name, Jesus Christ, to see the
Divinity of our neighbor, and not his carnality.
To some on the earth this view has been plain and distinct, and by only
a few silent words of description of the beautiful and complete Self, it
has shown forth in a transformed body and mind.
We ought to take one sick or poor person and voluntarily praise his or
her strong and beautiful Real Self once every week till he or she shows
forth in health and beauty and prosperity. "I wish above all things
that thou mayest prosper and be in health even as thy soul prospereth,"
said John, 3:2.
He knew that the Soul is triumphant, and above all things he wished his
brethren to be in outward form as buoyant and prosperous as the
changeless and glorious Soul.
The disciples of Jesus felt the strength and glory of the Soul of the
Real man. For them to go forward and take the hand of a dead form was a
signal for the Soul to quicken and lift up the form. Dorcas got up out
of death and Aeneas rose out of palsy when Peter spoke to the Jesus
Christ of them.
The Soul is the powerful Jesus Christ of us all. It is always present.
"I Am determined to know nothing among you save the Jesus Christ of
you." Said Paul, and looking toward Jesus Christ, or Soul of
Tycicus, he came straight up out of death.
"Glory to God." Shouts the good Methodist when his brother
says hi wife is ill. It is all one to him. No bad news daunts him. Glory
to God! He says when his brother's wife is well. Volumes of glory
rolling forth from him drive pain and sickness away, and health stands
forth.
But if health had not shown forth he would shout his glory to God just
the same. "The Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to
minister." It is the purest ministry to sight the Real Self till It
shines back in our faces.
Take Monday to speak in noble praise of the Self of a sick person.
"I See you above transcending yourself."
"I see you free strong, dauntless.
"I see you unweighted by the body, undisturbed by affairs.
"I see you buoyant, whole, beautiful."
"You are the Free Spirit."
"No disease reaches you."
"No misfortune reaches you."
"All that opposes you disperses like mists."
"You are the sunlight and song of your people."
"You are the free Son of God."
"Come forth, and come smiling everywhere from this day forth.
"God is your health."
"God is your Life."
"God is your LIGHT."
RESUME OF SEVENTH
LESSON IN HIGH MYSTICISM
BY E.C.H.
WRITTEN EXCLUSIVELY FOR C.W.C.
Healing: "The tongue of the Wise is
health."
Healing power of the spoken Word.
Loss of impurity on all the earth.
Healing is only making manifest what is already whole but has not before
been visible to us. Calling the Name of the complete and whole man of
God Universal, brings us to the realization of the complete and whole
man, individual and particular, whose name is the name of the
personality before you (us).
So it is no wonder that the mystic healers of the old saw the Soul
transcending the body and described it within their sacred hearts, and
the Soul showed Its Immortal excellence by glowing through the body of
flesh.
This description of the unweighted and unspoiled Soul or Self, of man,
as all there is of man, is a wonderful "bringer-to-Light."
The silent description, or the audible description, as they are both the
Way of the Word of Seeing, will bring the glow of the God-Man-Free
Spirit-Smiling Soul, in Its beauty, through any kind of flesh man. The
decrepit feel the glow of their strong Soul awakening their bones and
their nerves with the fire of health, when we see the Soul and describe
It.
The Soul of man is the Angel of his Presence. The Angel of his Presence
palpitating and rousing through the flesh is called the healing of the
flesh. The Angel of Man's Presence transcends man's flesh and its
powers. Though we may not see this Angle of His Presence with Its free,
glowing Light, still, It is always with every man.
The mystics spake silently sometimes and audibly sometimes, but their
Word was powerful in bringing to outward view. This was something like
their description as it rose to meet the beautiful Angel of the sick and
lame. Take some one sick person and persistently address their Angel
after this wise:
I see you above, free, wise, immortal.
I see you as the Free Spirit, flawless, unweighted, un-cumbered,
unspoiled and unspoilable.
I see you uplifted out of the reach of disease and pain.
I see you untouched by trouble.
You are as the glad unblemished Substance of God.
You smile with Life, and strength, and health.
You walk as one who has conquered the earth.
Rise, and go free.
