It means that out of the subconscious are rising the doubts and fears of the ages. One of my students once asked me to explain the "darkness before the dawn." I referred in a preceding chapter to the fact that often, before the big demonstration "everything seems to go wrong," and deep depression clouds the consciousness. In steadily repeating the affirmation, "I cast this burden on the Christ within, and go free," the vision clears, and with it a feeling of relief, and sooner or later comes the manifestation of good, be it health, happiness or supply. Doubts and fear poison the mind and body and imagination runs riot, attracting disaster and disease. It is impossible to have clear vision, while in the throes of carnal mind.

I have noticed, in "casting the burden," after a little while, one seems to see clearly. We must wind ourselves up with spoken words. I have often compared it to winding-up a victrola. The statement should be made over and over and over, sometimes for hours at a time, silently or audibly, with quietness but determination. For years, resentment had held her in a state of torment and imprisoned her soul (the subconscious mind). She said, "I cast this burden of resentment on the Christ within, and I go free, to be loving, harmonious and happy." The Almighty superconscious, flooded the subconscious with love, and her whole life was changed. I knew a woman, whose burden was resentment. She said it came to her to repeat, "I cast this burden on the Christ within, and I go free."Ī few moments later, her phone rang, and a woman friend asked if she might rent her old piano, and it was moved out, a few minutes before the new one arrived. She became desperate, as the new piano was to be sent immediately in fact, was on its way, with no place to put it. She wanted to keep the old piano, but knew of no place to send it. We read, "The Christ in you the hope of glory."Īnother example: One of my students had been given a new piano, and there was no room in her studio for it until she had moved out the old one. The belief in lack was her burden, and as she cast it upon the Superconscious with its belief of plenty, an avalanche of supply was the result.

How scientific it then is, to cast the burden upon the superconscious mind (or Christ within) where it is "made light," or dissolved into its "native nothingness."įor example: A woman in urgent need of money, "made light" upon the Christ within, the superconscious, with the statement, "I cast this burden of lack on the Christ (within) and I go free to have plenty!"

It seems almost impossible to make any headway directing the subconscious from the conscious, or reasoning mind, as the reasoning mind (the intellect) is limited in its conceptions, and filled with doubts and fears. We see, therefore, that man violates law if he carries a burden, and a burden is an adverse thought or condition, and this thought or condition has its root in the subconscious. This indicates that the superconscious mind (or Christ within) is the department which fights man's battle and relieves him of burdens. We are also told in the fifty-fifth Psalm, to "cast thy burden upon the Lord." Many passages in the Bible state that the battle is God's not man's and that man is always to " stand still" and see the Salvation of the Lord. He said: "Come to me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." "Take my yoke upon you, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light." He had overcome the world vibration, and functioned in the fourth dimensional realm, where there is only perfection, completion, life and joy. He said, "The only thing which gives anything weight in nature, is the law of gravitation, and if a boulder could be taken high above the planet, there would be no weight in that boulder and that is what Jesus Christ meant when he said: "My yoke is easy and my burden is light." In my own case, I found the easiest way is in "casting the burden."Ī metaphysician once explained it in this manner. When man knows his own powers and the workings of his mind, his great desire is to find an easy and quick way to impress the subconscious with good, for simply an intellectual knowledge of the Truth will not bring results.
