5. THE MAN OF TOMORROW...Wheels of Truth
--------------------------------------------
The motto of the man of tomorrow will be “be careful for nothing.” This simply means that he will be indifferent to the failure of the law;—it is a conditioning process. The law here referred to is the Lord God Jehovah. To put it simply, this means the Law of God in manifestation, or the wisdom of God in operation. The man who becomes indifferent to the law is one who has perfect control of his subconscious, and directs it wisely so that whatever he feels can be done, is automatically put into effect. To such a man there is no failure because he believes that “all things are possible to God.” He knows the Divinity that shapes our ends is the God in smiling repose within himself—the subjective mind. The man of tomorrow will immediately embody his desires by so disciplining the mind to acceptance that all his wishes will be immediately fulfilled. He will not use effort to lift tables, pianos, or to wash dishes;—he will simply sit in an armchair and in a partially subjective or passive state see all these things done. The man of tomorrow will not have to use a switch to turn on the light, as he knows all light is within him; “I am the light of the world.” His own I-AMNESS contains all suns, planets, stars, moons; therefore, at his will all light emanates from him. It will be impossible for him to be sunburnt, as he controls all rays which are really within himself. Incidentally, no one is burnt by the sun; the burns come from within man due to his belief or fear of sunburn.
Home, a Scotsman, in 1843 used to go through windows, lift tables at random without touching them, and increase or diminish his height at will. This man in the presence of the greatest scientists of the day, overcame the law of gravity by projecting himself through a window and flying through space without any mechanical aid, and then came in through another window. He also defied the most exacting scientific tests by proving to the scientists that he could cause scientific instruments, which were wired and solidly fixed in a special cabinet, to move freely about the room and be handled by many.
There is no mystery about this; it simply means that in boyhood he was conditioned into believing that he was able to do this. The man of to-morrow will not use airplanes to travel; on the contrary, he will use no mechanical means, but will simply collapse time and space by going within himself and feeling that he is now where he wants to be, and when he opens his eyes he will find himself there. If God is space-less, where can we travel;—time and distance are but the illusions of the five senses. God is Omnipresent; if so, He does not travel. God is timeless; therefore time is but an illusion. The man who prays scientifically and realizes his own consciousness to be God, collapses time and space. Many men today believe that they can collapse time and space only in an astral body, consequently they can do only this. “According to your faith be it done unto you.”
There is a case recently of a woman who asked a metaphysician to find out where her husband was. She had not heard from him in six months. This mystic went into meditation, visited him in London and had dinner with him. The lady, who was waiting in an outer room, opened the door and saw this metaphysician in a trance. In a few minutes he came out and told her that her husband was returning by boat, giving the name of the boat and the date of arrival. When this lady’s husband returned home, she told him about her experience with the man of prayer. He said, “Yes, a man appeared to me and asked me why I had not written to you, and several other questions. We ate together, and at the time I did not think his questions strange, but when he disappeared as we went through the door of the hotel, I thought the experience rather unusual.”
We must condition ourselves to collapse time and space bodily and not astrally. Some men believe they can travel astrally and be seen and transact business; others believe that they can only transport themselves psychologically and not be seen, but can see what is going on elsewhere and come back and report. It is all belief;—nothing but a conditioned state of consciousness. There is no space. We are living in the illusion of time and space. There are men in America today and in other parts of the world who never use street cars, trains, or other means of conveyance to go home. They simply realize in consciousness that they are where they wish to be. The man of tomorrow will not go from New York to London. He knows that London is within himself, so he brings “there” “here”;—thereness becomes hereness. He will close his eyes and simply feel that he is in London that moment, doing the things he wants to do. He simply feels the naturalness of the state, and “According to his faith, it is done unto him.”
Again there is no mystery about this. We must begin to practise collapsing time and space now,—today,—and finally it will become a conviction and our demonstrations will be instantaneous. The ancient mystics knew all about the law of mathematics, geometry, aerodynamics, engineering, but they saw no need for an airplane or train. The law of gravity is simply a belief of man, that’s all. Therefore, these men, knowing the great laws of life as taught in the Bible, realized this simple fundamental truth: that all potentialities were within them, as God dwelt within them. Men may scoff at these things, but that’s nothing new. People scoffed at the idea of radio, television, airplane, telegraphy; all these things were believed to be impossible by the so-called wise men of the world who knew all, yet knew nothing. If we are Truth students, we must surely realize that all things are possible to God. Therefore, what is strange or startling about a man being in New York one moment and Chicago the next?—I mean bodily, in the real physical sense. Men who cannot read or write do this in the islands nearby this country. We must walk in the consciousness that it is impossible for our prayer to fail. Dream all things into being. Fix them as actual states of consciousness, and they will embody themselves. First, visualize; second, actualize. Feel all things naturally. The whole is contained where you are now, as God dwells within you. The doctor of tomorrow will not prescribe pills, x-rays, diets, or any other medical treatment. He will assume the attitude of prayer and practice the law of substitution. He will not see a sick person; on the contrary, he will see the perfect man, radiant and expressing himself joyously. The doctor of tomorrow will hear the good news, as he will be the true mystic tuning in with Him who healeth all diseases. There are some physicians who do this now. Homes, real estate, property, and money will have no value for the man of tomorrow.
Those who have read the new metaphysical book called “This Is It,” may recall the young man who could talk to his brother thousands of miles away without the aid of any mechanical device. There are many similar incidents related at the present time. The human ear is capable of apprehending a small band of sound waves; a dog can hear certain sounds that man is incapable of hearing. The voice of a husband overseas, for example, creates a sound wave. These waves go around the world and never stop. We can hear from any part of the world on the radio, yet the man on the radio speaks in a normal tone of voice. The reason we hear him is that we and the radio announcer are equipped with sensitive apparatus, for sending and receiving sound. A loving husband and wife are equipped with a greater instrument,—the love of God, or love of oneness. The husband’s thoughts and feelings are transmitted to his wife, and her feelings go toward him; the waves of sound bridge the gap. Some wives in this country hear the voices of their husbands as plainly as if they were one foot away, yet their husbands are in the South Pacific or Europe. If the loved ones at home practised consciously and systematically the art of listening for the voice, they would converse freely and as easily as if they were together;— in fact, more articulately. The man of tomorrow will not use radio, television, telegraph, or any instrument;—all those will be obsolete. He will use only his mind. Telepathy has been proven more accurate, for example, than radio messages. (Read “Thoughts Through Space,” written by Sir Hubert Wilkins and Harold Sherman).
We spoke of real estate losing its value. Yes, the business man will leave his office in New York and instantaneously be in Venice, California or Italy. He will not need that summer home or that air-cooled automobile or that yacht in the ocean. What can you give that man of tomorrow?—he will have all things. You can’t sell him sunshine. He commands the winds and the waves. If you want money for something he will put up his hand in the air and give you some coins. All things are in the air;—mentally he will mine the air and precipitate what you ask. “Nothing is made; nothing becomes; all is, and all is God.” The man of tomorrow will not be a cynic, the so-called wise man. He will be the humble man who says, “I believe, Lord; help Thou mine unbelief.” The man of tomorrow will also be able to project his vision to any part of the world and see the person to whom he wishes to talk. He will not have to resort to television for this. “He that hath made the ear, can He not hear?” “He that hath made the eye, can He not see?” When we turn within to our own consciousness which is God, we are at the seat of causation, seat of all power; consequently we don’t have to pay any attention to what medical science or any science says about our limited capacity to see and to hear. For this simple reason, “He that sees all and hears all” is within us. “Believest thou, this?”
Clairaudience and clairvoyance are well known today and the true scientists acknowledge them to be true. Man’s thoughts constitute a veritable universe. A man and a woman in love with each other will grow into a single harmony;—if we love God by tuning in and claiming his attributes, we will grow into His likeness and then will not feel it robbery to do the works of God. Man is God walking the earth, but man has forgotten it. We really tune in with our Higher Self when we tune in with God. The man who sings the Song of the Lamb (I am Christ) is the man of tomorrow.
The doors may be shut and the windows barred, but the man of tomorrow will appear in the midst of the assemblage in the flesh. He will walk on the water and appear and reappear at will. These occurrences will be so common that people will no longer say, “What manner of man is this whom the winds and the seas obey?”
The man of tomorrow will be Spirit-like. The sun will not burn him, the weather may be 30° below zero and he will not feel the cold. Thunderbolts might split the skyscrapers, the rivers may rise and flood the valleys and he will not be afraid. He will mount the clouds, he will ride the sun and moon, and ramble at ease beyond the four seas. He knows no death and has no thought of gain or pain.
