The Mount of the House of the Lord
Selfishness is the method of stagnation. If you desire to stagnate, be selfish. If you desire to advance or progress, you must let out to let in. If a person does not exhale, he cannot expect to inhale. The stagnant breath of life which he has inhaled will become to be so stagnant and foul, it will not be healthy for those with whom he comes in contact. That is why we like to get fresh air, you see. It is Wonderful! So, the Law of Life is an interchange of things.
The Law of Life is to let go and let come, let out and let in. If we try, to let in and have not let out, we may burst. If we try to let come and will not let go, we will not have place for expression. That is the mystery! So the very Law of Life itself is to let go, and then you can let come; let out and then you can let in; and as you let out, you will have space to let in, and it will expand as you let out; for as more comes in, it changes and expands more and more, and you will have more capacity for taking in, and you will also take in something new, and more constructive, and more beneficial than that which you are letting out all the time. It is a wonderful privilege to observe these thoughts.
As I said in reference to the destruction or the loss of things which we lose - everything we seemingly have for our service, for our comfort, and for our convenience - that which is lost will come again, but will come increased and multiplied and will express more abundance, because that is the Law of Life.
Now I just mentioned that a little while ago, concerning what a commentator said about the Greenkill Hotel being destroyed one year ago from the time he made this announcement, one Sunday morning in October, I think it was. I do not hear record how long it was, because I forget about those things. The progressiveness of the progress is so expressive until I forget about all of the negative of the past, looking to the Glory of the future. So when he mentioned that, I said, "Well, that is true. I did say, not only as the Followers said, they would gain as much more, but they would gain a hundred times as much." So it is a matter of impossibility to lose in reality. We may apparently lose, but we gain in turn for that which we have apparently lost; so it is a true saying.
