tary school during his high
school years and well disci
plined In his religious back
ground.
There were many things
drilled Into his mind that just
wouldn't fit. 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.

As the knowledge of the world

of advance he grows even
greater, more Infinite to out

Ah yes—no religion can con

describe him. “Could we with
Ink the Ocean fill; and were

were the skies of parchment
made; were every stalk on earth
a quill—and every man a scribe

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
