The Seeing Eye (Matt. 13:16) ~ Ernest Holmes
""Blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear." What is it the eye should see and the ear hear? Do not all people's eyes see and their ears hear? No. But few, indeed, when looking, see, or listening, hear.
We are to see that Spirit creates all things by the power of Its own word, and that we are spiritual beings. We are to hear that inner voice of Truth, which is ever proclaiming the freedom of all life, the eternal unity of God with man. It is useless for those who have never experienced this inner seeing or hearing to deny its reality. A man might as well say there is no meadow because he has never seen one. The world needs spiritual experience, as it needs bread and butter. Men need spiritual convictions as they need meat and drink. And with spiritual convictions come all else. To those who have, shall be given.
The Kingdom and the Mustard Seed (Matt. 13:31, 32)
"The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed." From a knowledge of mental action, we know that a constructive idea, planted or buried in the subjective mind, tends to grow into a real condition. Jesus could not have chosen a more comprehensive way to illustrate this point.
The Kingdom is Like Leaven (Matt.13:33)
"The kingdom of heaven is like leaven." We know that thoughts planted in mind have the power to chemicalize opposing ideas, and leaven the whole lump of subjectivity. In this way, ideas gradually permeate the mind and influence all thought and action. If the idea is of heaven, it will certainly bring about a heavenly state."
