UNCOVER THE TRUE SELF

JESUS KNEW WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT WHEN HE TOLD US TO SEEK THE KINGDOM OF GOD RIGHT WITHIN US AND THAT ALL ELSE WOULD BE ADDED.
" TRUTH IS WITHIN OURSELVES; IT TAKES NO RISE
FROM OUTWARD THINGS, WHATE'VER YOU MAY BELIEVE
THERE IS AN INMOST CENTRE IN US ALL,
WHERE TRUTH ABIDES IN FULLNESS; AND TO KNOW
RATHER CONSISTS IN OPENING OUT A WAY
WHENCE THE IMPRISONED SPLENDOR MAY ESCAPE,
THAN IN EFFECTING ENTRY FOR A LIGHT
SUPPOSED TO BE WITHOUT"
ROBERT BROWNING

WE MUST THEREFORE REALLY TRY TO UNCOVER THE PERFECT, DIVINE SELF THAT IS RIGHT HERE, RIGHT WITHIN EACH ONE OF US. IT IS JUST AS THOUGH WE ARE UNCOVERING BURIED TREASURE. WE MUST GET RID OF ALL OF THE DEBRIS OF NEGATIVE THINKING, THE PILE OF FEARFUL THOUGHTS WE HAVE ENTERTAINED OVER THE YEARS, THOUGHTS THAT HAVE OBSCURED THE TRUE SELF. SOME OF THESE FEARFUL AND NEGATIVE THOUGHTS THAT WE MUST GET RID OF ARE- SELF-FISHNESS, PRIDE, VANITY, SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS, JEALOUSY, SELF-PITY, RESENTMENT, DECEIT, SELF-CONDEMNATION, ENVY, DISTRUST, CRITICISM, HATE INSECURITY, DESPAIR, HOSTILITY, ETC.
