There is nothing the human soul longs for more than to know God, Truth, the Light of the World.
With a restlessness that is pitiful to see, people are ever shifting from one thing to another...always hoping to find rest and satisfaction in some anticipated accomplishment or possession.
Many fancy that they want houses, land, great learning or power. They pursue these things and gain them, only to find themselves still restless...still unsatisfied.
At the great heart of humanity there is a deep and awful homesickness, which never has been and never can be satisfied with anything less than a clear, vivid consciousness of the indwelling presence of God.
Seeking after THINGS keeps us from reaching the promised place where "JOY is FULL".
To the person who "dwellth in the secret place of the Most High," there is promised immunity from the from the terror by night, and the arrow that flies by day.
Seeking THINGS keeps us in our FEAR (false evidence appearing real); it makes us so helpless, hopeless, powerless that it paralyzes us.
Where we might be GIANTS in this world if we understood the SECRET, we act like babies because we get stuck in our FEAR. Our FEAR is the root of all of our failures, sickness, poverty, and distress.
Remember, we have the promise of deliverance from even the fear of evil when we are in the "secret place of the Most High".
Why is it called the secret place?
It is the secret place because it is a place of meeting between the Christ at the center of your being, and your consciousness--a hidden place into which no outside person can either induct you or enter himself.
This SECRET place cannot be given to us by any other...and no one can come into it from the outside.
Earnest souls are seeking night and day to get this inner revealing as they run from teacher to teacher, workshop to workshop, many of them making the frantic efforts to meet the financial obligations in their lives because someone has said that THEY could give to you that which you don't know where to find.
These eager students may study with the best of the best. They may be able to recite the bible fluently, may understand intellectually all of the statements of Truth, may be able to recite healing formulas to everyone's delight; but until there is a definite inner revealing of the reality of the indwelling Christ through whom and by whom comes life, health, peace, power, and all things
--then I, you, they have not yet found the "secret place".
Isn't it true: when going without, it is time to go within ?
