“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” - Matthew, Chapter 6
Ask only, “How can I extend my treasure this day?” - Way of Mastery, Way of the Heart: Lesson 10
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, but lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven.
How can I extend my treasure this day?
Extending The Good, The Holy, and the Beautiful
From Way of Mastery, Lesson 8
The sole purpose of Creation is to extend the good, the holy, and the beautiful.
Therefore, the extension of the good, the holy and the beautiful needs to become your sole purpose–as it has become ours. For only when the mind is used for this purpose alone can there be the perfect remembrance of the Kingdom.
You have heard the call of the One who sent you forth, and asks you, Little child, return! I am with you still. Let us create together the good, the holy, and the beautiful.
There will be much to do. But let it be done from the perspective of delightful innocence, in a mind that recognizes there is nothing else to do with time except extend the good, the holy, and the beautiful.
