Friday, April 26, 1963 MIRROR MEDITATION By EMMITT L, BRINSON I W£LS In conversation with a young man who vas confid ing In me the frustrations about his viewpoints on “Life”. He had been raised by a strictly religious family; sent toamlll- 9 COLORS OF SEAT BELTS IN STOCK AT LANE'S Automotive Supply 318 Tryon Palace Drive ME 7-4156 Scott TILE CO. TILE AND FLOOR COVERING L.

At the age of twenty-five he was rebelling against his own religion and was afraid to challenge the pursuit of others. It’s hard to council with a person whose fears and fru strations arising from half truths have caused skepticism to dominate. Too often we do not accept this Inner intuition to steer us Into greater logic and reason, or to a higher plain of knowledge. It has often been said that man's Intuition has steered him to each step of truth yet known to man, and Is the fore runner to all the facts and revelations of science. This young man could not ac cept the history of Religion by man--for man--and the human fallacy woven there In, I wish It were possible to screen and sift from all religions the spark of truth that glows in all, and start from there. With the knowlege of man today a much bigger God would emerge, and the clock of man made interpretation would fall away. These are really the confusing things that con front our youth today, with their advanced learning. WE BUY WRECKED AUTOS MODELS 1955 AND UP Wh.n You Think of UMd Auto Porto — Think of Ui.

As the knowledge of the world advances, so does your intui tion Improve, and with each step of advance he grows even greater, more Infinite to out understanding. The God of all that exists. Ah yes—no religion can con tain him nor can any man mono polize him. Nor can ever man describe him. “Could we with Ink the Ocean fill; and were the skies of parchment made; were the skies of parchment made; were every stalk on earth a quill—and every man a scribe by trade; to write the love of God above—would drain the ocean dry; nor could the scroll contain the whole—tho stretched from sky to sky.” SUBSCRIBE TO THE MIRROR When I advised him to pursue his Intuition, he was further confused, as the intuition of others had led them sincerely, and In entirely different chan nels of which he was still doubt ful. It Is here we must try to analize the word “intuition”. Many have tried It, and far be It from me to have the answer. I believe It to be an inner guidance, an awareness that arrises from our Inner being or subconscious. Its origin is beyoud the con cepts of any logic or under standing and has its begin ning In the Universal mind In which all life and matter Is submerged. I dare to say It Is “the pendulum or balance wheel of life,” a direct rela tionship with God, and I be lieve it can, and will some day be developed Into a major science, I believe everyone taps Its source and uses it sub consciously to the level of their Intellectual capacity, as In the case of those whose pursuits were not what my young friend would adhere to. This holds true to allwalks of life. We see people who are happy Md are convinced of the truth in their faith, yet another might detect a fallacy in his belief. It in his capacity he has the joy and companionship of his God, to condemn him might destroy him. If our intuition directs us to further advance and to another level of thought, we are receiving the same assuredness from the same universal mind of God but on a different level. How else can we account for so many religions and concepts. The trouble Is; Man stops seeking—stops searching, for he figures this one revelation Is paramount, and is his monoply. It Is In the pursuit of Intui tion that we shall, step by step, attain the final truth. Just because one cannot swallow the Interpretations of his human predecessors—Is no reason to choke off the flow of relationship with God. It Is here one must rise above the prejudices and dog mas of the past. It Is here one can measure how far some have traveled for truth. With open minds and hearts we detect when others have traveled even further, and our Intuition takes hold and steers us closer and closer to the Creator. Maybe what I’m trying to say J. W.
