AUTHOR 

IMPERSONAL WORK AND TEACHING

This author's translation is dedicated to Pure Impersonal Work with Children, the author of which is a member of the Sun Center, Carol Snyder. In the 1930s, the author collaborated with the author of Impersonal Learning, Joseph S. Benner, and contributed to the journal Inner Life. She put her experience with her four-year-old girl to good use in the Way Out course for Children.

He talks about the course itself as follows: "THIS series of lessons and questions is not intended to be used only as a set of dogmatic sermons for the child to memorize and repeat like a parrot. The whole purpose of the various similes, allegories, lesson games, etc. is to help to the child's own Higher Self to reveal to his still receptive and unsullied outer mind the truth of "Who He is" and "What He is a part of," the Law that governs life and expression, and how to bring his self into harmony with God's Plan and Purpose."

"MOTHER ," said a dear little girl one day, "you've told me that God is within me like a great Light, and that He is in everyone else, too. Now how can He be in me and you and everyone else all at the same time?"

"Why Colombe!" answered Mother, "Just think for a moment of the finger-game we often play. You know, the one in which we make people out of our fingers by painting faces on the finger-nails, winding cloth about the fingers for clothes, etc? You have often talked to and played with your little finger people for a long time. Now each one looked different, and could move about, but they were, after all, each one a part of YOU, weren't they?"

"Oh, I see!" answered the little girl. We are like God's Fingers, and though we look different and act different we are all part of the same hand—God's Hand. But, Mother, my fingers do only what I want them to do. Then, if God is so Good and Loving and Powerful as you tell me, why does He make us, a part of Himself, to be sick and unhappy, and often mean and hateful? I never make my finger people do naughty things. Then why should God make His?"

"Well," said Mother, "the easiest way to explain this to you is by telling you a story about a Fairy and her Fingers."

"Oh, hurrah! A story!!" shouted Colombe in delight.
