The world thought is that of sin, sickness and death. He saw their absolute unreality and said sickness and sorrow shall pass away and death itself, the last enemy, be overcome.
We know now, from a scientific standpoint, that death could be overcome by stamping the subconscious mind with the conviction of eternal youth and eternal life.
The subconscious, being simply power without direction, carries out orders without questioning.
Working under the direction of the superconscious (the Christ or God within man) the “resurrection of the body” would be accomplished.
Man would no longer throw off his body in death, it would be transformed into the “body electric,” sung by Walt Whitman, for Christianity is founded upon the forgiveness of sins and “an empty tomb.”
CASTING THE BURDEN
Impressing the Subconscious
When man knows his own powers and the workings of his mind, his great desire is to find an easy and quick way to impress the subconscious with good, for simply an intellectual knowledge of the Truth will not bring results.
In my own case, I found the easiest way is in “casting the burden.”
A metaphysician once explained it in this manner. He said, “The only thing which gives anything weight in nature, is the law of gravitation, and if a boulder could be taken high above the planet, there would be no weight in that boulder; and that is what Jesus Christ meant when he said: ‘My yoke is easy and my burden is light.’”
He had overcome the world vibration, and functioned in the fourth dimensional realm, where there is only perfection, completion, life and joy.
