We are told,
“When you pray go within in secret and shut the door. And that which your father sees in secret, with that will he reward you openly.”
We have identified the ‘father’ to be the awareness of being. We have also identified the ‘door’ to be the awareness of being.
So ‘shutting the door’ is shutting out that which ‘I’ AM now aware of being and claiming myself to be that which ‘I’ desire to be. The very moment my claim is established to the point of conviction, that moment I begin to draw unto myself the evidence of my claim.
Do not question the how of these things appearing, for no man knows that way. That is, no manifestation knows how the things desired will appear.
Consciousness is the way or door through which things appear. He said,
“I AM the way”
not ‘I,’ John Smith, am the way, but “I AM”, the awareness of being, is the way through which the thing shall come.
