An Emancipating Look at Christ's Most Misquoted Sermon

will is done in the body. Daily I increase
in the power coming from my perfect Being." (This "forgive" is so of the world
of man, the mental law functioning, that
to fit it to a regeneratively acting law
is almost impossible. So one would naturally assume it an interpolation.)
It could be: "I am taking up the resistances of my bondages and redeeming

not regard the imperfect state as one of

EDITOR'S NOTE -- Probably the most quoted, and
misquoted, of Christ's purported words are taken
from His "Sermon on the Mount", and especially-'
the section which has been labeled "The Lord's
Prayer". Taken literally, and as the churches interpret it, few other Biblical teachings can so
confuse and stultify the thinking of Man. But
what did Christ mean in these words, which He
gave to His disciples after withdrawing from the
multitude? Did He really mean that all words
other than "Yea" and "Nay" "cometh of evil"? Does
"Our Father, which art in Heaven", deliberately lead
us into temptation? The accompanying dissertation
by Rev. Wayne Trubshaw, of Marysville, Wash., may
give a few thoughts worthy of pondering -- or at
least invite a look at something which too often
is parroted without thought or understanding.
value, so why oppose that of no value?
"The mind is the slayer of the Real."
The scientist can really find no reason
for man dying. His normal state would be
to live and grow naturally into a -perfect
being. But he prays to stay in hell and
in hell he stays. The mind does not have
to be the slayer of the real, it does not
have to believe and accept the effects of
man's prayers, down thru the centuries,
as unchangeable. It takes no courage to
accept l i f e , expect to live and get
younger instead of older, but if you are
loaded with fear, the courage cannot get
out. "The wisdom of man is foolishness to
God." Why? Because the so-called wisdom
and knowledge of life of the Philosopher
and the sage is just a more intense acceptance of death.

How dumb can people get? God is in
Heaven and the Kingdom of Heaven is within, yet they will worship an "image " , an
"imagination", outside.

Life here in this very minute expression functions as a reflection, and man,
with his mind, goes out to the outer reflection, and seeing it coming back, sets
up the great theory of evolution. How did
the figure of the man get in the amoeba?
Because the amoeba is merely a reduced
ray of light from the man. So is all that
