we are told that the simple apprehension of corporeal objects if present is sense that is sense perceived this is now sense perceived I can see you and if you speak and I hear you that is sense perceived and you are present therefore that is real they say if absent it is Imagination in other words it isn't real it isn't sense perceived now we'll take one of the senses we'll take the sense of smell since smell is a chemical sense a contact is necessary for perception you have to actually have a chemical contact to smell in
this world now I ask you to join with me maybe you do not like flowers as I do can you smell a rose and it's not present there aren't any roses here or in your presence but can you now imagine a rose and smell it I can it's so distinct well if the rose is not here ha when I smell it why is its fragrance in the air when it depends upon a chemical contact you cannot smell anything in this world without a chemical contact I go into the kitchen I smell gas and it's not
lit but I notice I smell gas it's a chemical contact then I know that the wind leaving the window open blew out the little pilot light I turned it on and nothing happens therefore I know the pilot is gone and I light it but I could smell that was a chemical contact if I could not detect it I could just simply become asphyxiated if I lost that olfactory nerve and could not reach that chemical contact but now here there's no rose and I can actually smell a rose now you say well what does that mean
it means so much to me you can smell money money has an odor unlike anything in this world entirely different you can actually take it and smell it a money bag is more fragrant to The Miser than all the flowers of the world it's a pleasant odor to him not to me I need money I have to have money to pay all the normal expenses in this world but it's not to me a fragrant OD but I use this principle towards getting money towards meeting all the obligations of life for I am obligated as you
are so I go down to The Potter's House but I can sit in a chair I can stand at a bar I can do wherever I am I am right there in The Potter's House for I found the Potter the Potter is my imagination and the Potter is the Father the Lord God Almighty and I found him so I don't have to go any place outside of where I stand to be in The Potter's House and now I will see what he's doing so I see what I'm doing what am I imagining for that's what
he's working on so I went down to The Potter's House and I simply saw what he was doing what am I imagining is it a good image that I am forming of myself and my friends and things that I love in this world or am I critical am I simply making a mess of the talent I find quite often I am not using it wisely I tell you that the worship of God is to use his gifts that's the only way you really worship God he gave you a talent well the talent is himself it
comes through naturally the five senses I may be denied four of them as many are born minus 1 2 3 or maybe poor most would have the sense of touch but some are born blind or they go blind some go deaf some lost the sense of sound I mean speech all these things but nevertheless I can use in my imagination all these talents physically they may be denied me but I still have an open door from within and I can use it from within I need not actually have them all open on the outside if
I'm born restricted I can still call upon them from within as I do now to smell the RS a friend of mine she's gone from this world now in New York City many many years ago I told a story similar to this tonight and sitting in my audience she said well now I'm going to tell guess this and into silence she embraced a huge bouquet of roses she lived in the towers the waldor Estoria so when she went home that night as she went down the hallway towards her room she detected a strong odor of
roses and she stopped at one door thinking it might be it was permeating the entire hallway she kept on going and it got stronger and stronger and when she opened her door here were three dozen long Beauties on her Bureau the window was open just a little bit and it came bringing the odor through into the hallway there was no note on it but here were these lovely roses the next day she was was informed how it happened that that night the english- speaking Union gave a party for the present Queen's mother who was Queen
Elizabeth but not Queen in the true sense of the word she was George's wife and she was Queen while he rained and they had these enormous flowers raised for the the occasion and at the end of the banquet and a thousand of them sat at this dinner they wonder what to do with the roses and the head waiter said well Mrs neiah loves flowers especially roses send three dozen up to her room you either throw them away or find some way to use them wisely and so Mrs Nei was given three dozen of these Beauties
which she certainly did not expect but she thought she would try it and she embraced in her Mind's Eye and she could smell the roses and then came three dozen Beauties into her room I have known people who will take money and Buy's eye and actually feel it and it's not present and smell it and C it off and then it happens just like that men is not completely confined to the little garment and the senses through which contact is made with the world he has imagination imagination is God that's the Potter that is the
Lord that is our father and he gave us himself and the only way to truly worship God is to use his gifts
