of new forms and new conditions。 This is real New Thought�察�for it does 

not trouble about the old things�察�but is going straight ahead from where we 

are now。 When we do this�察�just trusting the Spirit�察�and not laying down the 

particular     details   of   its  actionjust    telling   it  what    we   want    without 

dictating HOW we are to get it we shall find that things will open out 

more and more clearly day by day both on the inner and the outer plane。 

Remember that the Spirit is alive and working here and now�察�for if ever 

the   Spirit   is   to   get   from   the   past   into   the   future   it   must   be   by   passing 

through the present�察�therefore what you have to do is to acquire the habit 

of living direct ´from the Spirit here and now。 You will soon find that this 

is a matter of personal intercourse�察�perfectly natural and not requiring any 

abnormal   conditions   for   its   production。   You   just   treat   the   Spirit   as   you 

would      any   other   kind´hearted      sensible    person�察   �remembering       that  it  is 

always there;closer than hands and feet�察─�as Tennyson saysand you will 

gradually begin to appreciate its reciprocity as a very practical fact indeed。 

     This is the relation of Hephzibah to Ishi�察�and is that worship in Spirit 

and    in  truth   which     needs   neither    the  temple     in  Jerusalem     nor   yet   in

Samaria for its acceptance�察�for the whole world is the temple of the Spirit 

and   you   yourself   its   sanctuary。   Bear   this   in   mind�察  �and   remember   that 

nothing   is   too   great   or   too   small�察  �too   interior   or   too   external�察  �for   the 

Spirit's recognition and operation�察�for the Spirit is itself both the Life and 

the Substance of all things and it is also Self´recognition from the stand´ 

point     of   your    own    individuality�察    �and    therefore�察   �because      the   Self´ 

recognition of Spirit is the Life of the creative process�察�you will�察�by simply 

trusting the Spirit to work according to its own nature�察�pass more and more 

completely into that New Order which proceeds from the thought of Him 

who says�察 �Behold I make all things new。;

             THE SHEPHERD AND THE 

                                    STONE。 



     The metaphor of the Shepherd and the Sheep is of constant occurrence 

throughout      the  Bible    and   naturally   suggests    the  idea   of  the   guiding�察�

guarding�察�and feeding both of the individual sheep and of the whole flock 

and it is not difficult to see the spiritual correspondence of these things in 

a general sort of way。 But we find that the Bible combines the metaphor of 

the Shepherd with another metaphor that of ;the Stone�察─�and at first sight 

the two seem rather incongruous。 

     ;From     thence    is  the  Shepherd     the  Stone    of  Israel�察─ �says   the  Old 

Testament   ��Genesis   xlix。   24���察  �and   Jesus   calls   himself   both   ;The   Good 

Shepherd; and ;The Stone which the builders rejected。; The Shepherd and 

the Stone are thus identified and we must therefore seek the interpretation 

in   some     conception     which    combines      the   two。   A   shepherd     suggests 

Personal care for the welfare of the sheep�察�and an intelligence greater than 

theirs。   A   stone    suggests    the  idea   of   Building�察   �and   consequently      of 

measurement�察�adaptation of parts to whole�察  �and progressive   construction 

according to plan。 Combining these two conceptions we get the idea of the 

building of an edifice whose stones are persons�察�each taking their more or 

less   conscious   part   in   the   constructionthus   a   building�察  �not   constructed 

from without�察�but self´forming by a principle of growth from within under 

the guidance of a Supreme Wisdom permeating the whole and conducting 

it stage by stage to ultimate completeness。 This points to a Divine Order in 

human   affairs   with   which   we   may   more   or   less   consciously   co´operate�此�

both   to   our   personal   advantage   and   also   to   the   furtherance   of   the   great 

scheme   of   human   evolution   as   a   whole�察  �the   ultimate   purpose   being   to 

establish   in   ALL   men   that   principle   of   ;The   Octave;   to   which   I   have 

already alluded�察�and in proportion as some adumbration of this principle is 

realized   by   individuals   and   by   groups   of   individuals   they   specialize   the 

law of race´development�察�even though they may not be aware of the fact�察�

and   so   come   under   a   SPECIALIZED   working   of   the   fundamental   Law�察�

which thus differentiates them from other individuals and nationalities�察�as 

by a peculiar guidance�察�producing higher developments which the merely 

generic operation of the Law could not。 

     Now if we keep steadily in mind that�察�though the purpose�察�or Law of 

Tendency�察�or the Originating Spirit must always be universal in its nature�察�

it   must   necessarily   be   individual   in   its   operation�察  �we   shall   see   that   this 

universal purpose can only be accomplished through the instrumentality of 

specific   means。   This   results   from   the   fundamental   proposition   that   the 

Universal can only work on the plane of the Particular by becoming the 

individual     and   particular�察   �and   when    we   grasp   the   conception     that  the 

merely generic operation of the Creative Law has now brought the human 

race as far   as it can�察  �that is to   say it has completely evolved the   merely 

natural GENUS home�察�it follows that if any further development is to take 

place it can only be by the co´operation of the individual himself。 Now it 

is the spread of this individual co´operation that the forward movement of 

the Spirit is leading us to�察�and it is the gradual extension of this universal 

principle that is alluded to in the prophecy of Daniel regarding the Stone 

cut out without hands that spreads until it fills the whole earth ��Daniel ii。 

34 and 44��。 According to the interpretation given by Daniel�察�this Stone is 

the emblem of a spiritual Kingdom�察�and the identity of the Stone and the 

Shepherd       indicates   that   the  Kingdom       of  the  Stone    must    be  also   the 

Kingdom   of   the   Shepherd�察  �and   the   Master�察  �who   identified   himself   with 

both the Stone and the Shepherd�察�emphatically declared that this Kingdom 

was�察  �in   its   essence�察  �an   interior   Kingdom;the   Kingdom   of   Heaven   is 

within   you。;   We     must   look   for   its   foundation   therefore�察  �in   a
