In Tune with the Infinite; or, Fullness of Peace, Power, and Plenty
Trine, Ralph Waldo
New Thought
When Moses was on the mountain it was after the various physical
commotions and manifestations that he heard the "still, small voice," the
voice of his own soul, through which the Infinite God was speaking. If
we will but follow this voice of intuition, it will speak ever more
clearly and more plainly, until by and by it will be absolute and
unerring in its guidance. The great trouble with us is that we do not
listen to and do not follow this voice within our own souls, and so we
become as a house divided against itself. We are pulled this way and
that, and we are never _certain_ of anything. I have a friend who
listens so carefully to this inner voice, who, in other words, always
acts so quickly and so fully in accordance with his intuitions, and whose
life as a consequence is so absolutely guided by them, that he always
does the right thing at the right time and in the right way. He always
knows when to act and how to act, and he is never in the condition of a
house divided against itself.
But some one says, "May it not be dangerous for us to act always upon our
intuitions? Suppose we should have an intuition to do harm to some one?"
We need not be afraid of this, however, for the voice of the soul, this
voice of God speaking through the soul, will never direct one to do harm
to another, nor to do anything that is not in accordance with the highest
standards of right, and truth, and justice. And if you at any time have
a prompting of this kind, know that it is not the voice of intuition; it
is some characteristic of your lower self that is prompting you.
Reason is not to be set aside, but it is to be continually illumined by
this higher spiritual perception, and in the degree that it is thus
illumined will it become an agent of light and power. When one becomes
thoroughly individualized he enters into the realm of all knowledge and
wisdom; and to be individualized is to recognize no power outside of the
Infinite Power that is back of all. When one recognizes this great fact
and opens himself to this Spirit of Infinite Wisdom, he then enters upon
the road to the true education, and mysteries that before were closed now
reveal themselves to him. This must indeed be the foundation of all true
education, this evolving from within, this evolving of what has been
involved by the Infinite Power.
