REALM OF MANIFESTATION

by Walter C. Lanyon

For some years the Metaphysical World has been gradually stepping out of the field of "Demonstration" into the place of manifestation. To be conscious of a thing is to see it manifest. It is the only level of mind wherein a thing can be "let" through into expression. We are told to get away from the heathenish habit of repeating words, hoping thereby to gain the ear of God. The habit only shows a lack of real faith, and posts a belief in mental magic.

When a child becomes conscious of the law of mathematics he is that law in action, and in order to do "greater things than these" he has to contemplate and magnify the consciousness of mathematics - then he can with impunity employ this consciousness to disentangle the congestions of human thought called problems.

All problems of whatever nature are made up of thought forms and pictures believed in by man. When a man sets out to write a new arithmetic book, he starts with a full knowledge that the principle of Mathematics has no problems. He must therefore invent and superimpose upon his pupils a series of problems made up for the sole reason of proving to the pupil that the answer existed before he made up the problem. The more conscious the pupil becomes of the principle the easier it is to disintegrate the picture problems confronting him. Not by any manner of means would he be taught or think that by repeating a rule - no matter however true - would it work out a problem. He must become conscious of that principle, enter into it, become the law in action in order to prove his premise that the answer exists before the problem. There is a reason for the faith that is in him, and it is not an emotional, religious or superstitious sort of thing.

Jesus eternally started with the "It is done" state of mind. From that point the LIGHT of consciousness penetrated the so-called structure of the problem - whether it was cancer, in harmony or even death - and as the intensity of this RECOGNITION continued, the light became so strong that it completely absorbed the darkness of human thought. But this process did not change anything, it revealed something that was already done.

"I thank you, father - I knew this was already done - but I said thank you for they did not know it was so," or words to that affect. He was working or expressing from the plane of Manifestation - or the place of the Archetype. The place of the indestructible idea. The Archetypal idea of substance (called money on the earth plane) is as unchanging as life itself - and to be in that place of manifestation (unmanifest for the moment to the human limited vision and understanding) is to cast the reflection or shadow of whatsoever it gazes upon, into the realm of matter.

It is both heartening and glorious to start with the premise it is done, and especially when you are not trying to make that so - but are recognizing that it is so. At once the labor or work of Prayer is dissipated and a lovely sense of releasement takes over. "Let the child be born" - does away with the labor pains of trying to make or create the child.

The Affirmation which is true is merely the statement of a fact, unchangeable and eternal. It is a celestial dimension of mind. The moment an affirmation is made from that standpoint a confirmation is on its way to you. How and when it will come depends entirely upon your ability to "BELIEVE". Believing is not credulity but your acceptance of the Fourth dimensional consciousness of which Jesus spoke and proved. If you cannot believe - accept and become one with the established facts - you can never see the eternally existent answer appear.

So you begin to enter into the Realm of Manifestation, which you from a human sense call the "unmanifest" - but which was CREATED in the beginning and has never changed - and to which nothing can be added and nothing can be taken. In this realm of the finished mystery you become conscious of the "how" much Jesus showed you in Jerusalem two thousand years ago, and yes - even greater things than these too shall you perceive, because "there were many things I could not tell you in Jerusalem because of your unbelief." He did not say I would not tell you when you were ready. For when you are ready I will do the works through you - not maybe or perhaps - but I will. It then behooves you to be ready for the works by accepting the beautiful natural laws of God and getting away from the million and one superstitions hung upon the Teaching of the Master as thick as barnacles on a ship a long time from port.

A painter returns often to his model - a copy of a copy of a copy begins to show many divergences from the original, and so we are returning to God and gazing once more on the fair things of creation. Small wonder then "ye shall feed among the lilies" - and that "Ye shall go in and come out and find pastures."

You must then, enter into the realm of manifestation (unmanifest) and take whatsoever ye will - for it is written, "When ye pray believe that ye receive (present tense) and it shall be so."

"If ye believe (recognized as finished and done) nothing shall be impossible to you."

"Then went he in and shut the door" - then went he into his own Temple, Consciousness and shut the door to opinions and beliefs and prayed the Father - recognized - partook of the Bread of Heaven. And so I feel it is about time you "Went in and shut the door" - and discovered some of the celestial ways and means of bringing the manifestation of heaven on earth into view. What do you say?
