Because there is one word missing from the scripture and that word makes the difference between demonstration and intellectual agreement. The word? Realized.

Where the Spirit is realized there is Liberty demonstrated, tangible, touchable, visible.

So what does realized mean? What exactly is the experience called realization? It is nothing less than the actual feel of that Spirit in our meditation. When we sit down to meditate and the mind starts right in with memorized statements of truth, we are apt to think that we have known the truth and should begin to experience freedom from whatever problem is confronting us. But it doesn't happen because a thought about truth is not Truth or Spirit.

We only have a realized truth when an activity of Truth is felt in our Consciousness; an activity that we receive from the inner depths of Being; an activity that is felt within. We must go deeper than thought to that place of stillness if only for a moment. And then our Silence becomes Spirit's abiding place. We feel a movement, we receive an impartation, we realize that we are not alone, there really is an indwelling Spirit and It has made its Presence known to our outer awareness.

This then is realized Truth and we find that in that Spirit which is felt, we are free. Liberty is included in that inner experience of the Spirit, and the inner experience transforms the outer form and harmony appears. The inner Peace felt, results in the outer harmony revealed.

Let us stop looking for freedom from some external circumstance and seek this freedom in this feeling of the indwelling Spirit. Then we shall really see that this Spirit restores the lost years of the locusts. Our inner realization will appear as the cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night; for where the Spirit of the Lord is realized, there Liberty is always included.

Blessings and Love.
