Will Doctor Robinson Be Assassinated?
The First Step (24K) The first chapter of 'The Pathway to God', 1943.
"Get your eyes off Frank B. Robinson, for a more badly broken reed never lived. A more lonely heart never pulsated. A more impotent man in his own power never lived. So forget me . . . Don't look upon me as any super-man, for if you only knew the pangs that wring my heart even now as I write this, you wouldn't envy me at all. And I am only a human being. And my life is very full; and the path I tread none too rosy - I promise you that. In fact it is a lonely life. Lonliness is the chief and the one predominating characteristic of it. And I would not have it otherwise, for in it I am driven direct to the heart of God - and there, through this human lonliness - I find - HIM."
"What is the Law controlling these manifestations, you ask? Well, let me tell you - and then you go out and do it too, for I assure you I have no monoply on this mighty Power, none whatsoever. The fact of the matter is that I know very little of it - just a tiny bit maybe - but not much."
"If you have any sins to confess, then get them off your chest and don't do any more things that worry you. For if you are doing something wrong, you will know it and the remedy is very easy - just stop it."
"When once you find and have contacted the mighty Living God, right here and now, you need never worry your head about sins of any sort for you will not commit very many of them."
"Of one thing we may be sure though, and that is that whatever future state of consciousness there may be, it will of necessity be based upon our state of consciousness here in this life."
"As far as I am concerned, beloved, they can carry this physical frame of mine out at any time now. I would not try to hinder them if I could. For, to me, the dazzling beauty of an unending life spent with this mighty Loving Living God is such an attraction that I shall be glad to lay down these carnal weapons and to rest safe and secure in the arms of the God I have trusted."
"If only this sense veil were not here, you would here and now, know everything that has ever happened from the beginning of the ages until now. As a body, however, you cannot possibly know it."
"I am constantly asked if we shall know each other in heaven. My friend and student, the change from this physical life back to the spirit life will be such a stupendous one that I question very much if we shall know that we ever were on this old ball at all or not."
"What some refer to as a 'negative force,' opposed to the 'positive force,' is only essentially a failure to comply with the Law of the only REAL FORCE in the universe. Remember that."
"Never forget, however, that it is possible for you to be healed this week and to die next week. You WILL die - never doubt that."
"The very moment you begin to interpolate another meaning to the words of the Master, just that moment do yo make them of no effect."
" . . . the old God who destroyed the entire human race through a flood, drowning them all like rats in a trap is but pagan mythology."
"As a matter of fact, I prefer to say that there is no such thing as time."
"And you can rest assured of THIS fact -viz. neither success, health or happiness can possibly manifest if the Law governing them is not rightly understood, and rightly used."
"You will of course understand here that by no possibility could you ever manifest in you own affairs, through the use of this great Law, something contrary to the Law itself."
Frank printed this translation of the Lord's Prayer from the original Aramaic by Dr. Lamsa. "Our father in the Universe, Hallowed be thy name. Come Thy Kingdom. Let Thy Wishes Be As in the Univere, so on Earth. Give us bread, our need today, And release us our offenses as also we have released our offenders, and do not let us enter into worldliness; but part us from error: because thine is the Kingdom, Power and Glory from ages to ages. Amen."
