I will give a chapter here to explaining how man may receive health from
the Supreme. By the Supreme I mean the Thinking Substance from which all
things are made, and which is in all and through all, seeking more
complete expression and fuller life. This Intelligent Substance, in a
perfectly fluid state, permeates and penetrates all things, and is in
touch with all minds. It is the source of all energy and power, and
constitutes the "inflow" of life which Swedenborg saw, vitalizing all
things. It is working to one definite end, and for the fulfillment of
one purpose; and that purpose is the advancement of life toward the
complete expression of Mind. When man harmonizes himself with this
Intelligence, it can and will give him health and wisdom. When man
holds steadily to the purpose to live more abundantly, he comes into
harmony with this Supreme Intelligence.
The purpose of the Supreme Intelligence is the most Abundant Life for
all; the purpose of this Supreme Intelligence for you is that you should
live more abundantly. If, then, your own purpose is to live more
abundantly, you are unified with the Supreme; you are working with It,
and it must work with you. But as the Supreme Intelligence is in all,
_if you harmonize with it you must harmonize with all; and you must
desire more abundant life for all as well as for yourself_. Two great
benefits come to you from being in harmony with the Supreme
Intelligence.
First, you will receive wisdom. By wisdom I do not mean knowledge of
facts so much as ability to perceive and understand facts, and to judge
soundly and act rightly in all matters relating to life. Wisdom is the
power to perceive truth, and the ability to make the best use of the
knowledge of truth. It is the power to perceive at once the best end to
aim at, and the means best adapted to attain that end. With wisdom comes
poise, and the power to think rightly; to control and guide your
thoughts, and to avoid the difficulties which come from wrong thinking.
With wisdom you will be able to select the right courses for your
particular needs, and to so govern yourself in all ways as to secure the
best results. You will know how to do what you want to do. You can
readily see that wisdom must be an essential attribute of the Supreme
Intelligence, since That which knows all truth must be wise; and you can
also see that just in proportion as you harmonize and unify your mind
with that Intelligence you will have wisdom.
But I repeat that since this Intelligence is All, and in all, you can
enter into Its wisdom only by harmonizing with all. If there is
anything in your desires or your purpose which will bring oppression to
any, or work injustice to, or cause lack of life for any, you cannot
receive wisdom from the Supreme. Furthermore, your purpose for your own
self must be the best.
