The Presence

“I can of mine own self do nothing.” When that realization comes, you will be performing wonders in your own field of endeavor, but you will know it is not you who are doing it; you will know that It is doing the work.

Every one of us has this It within him. Every one of us has the Spirit of God, or the Christ, at the centre of his being, but most of us have not come fully into the conscious awareness of It, or else that awareness has been felt only once in a great while.
 
We have not yet reached the stage where we can achieve it as a matter of will, or where we live in it all the time.
 
The day comes, however, when this Withiness, this inner Self is functioning all the time, and most of the time we are consciously aware of It, and on the few occasions when we are not, we can restore ourselves to Its awareness by deeper meditation. It is always present, awaiting our recognition.
 
By It, we can do all things.
