Desire to know God answered

Frederick James Campbell

As a youngster I was a sickly child and was regularly given large doses of medicine until my early teens. My mother had died of cancer, and our life at home was an unhappy one. But I was a spiritually minded child. I could see that if there was such a thing as eternity, it had to include the present—it couldn’t include a beginning or end to life.

I understood that everything that expresses life expresses God, but I could not grasp why matter was needed for its manifestation. On one of my daily walks to enjoy the countryside outside Belfast, I found myself reaching out to God for a prayerful answer to this enigma. 

At that moment of complete yielding to Deity, it came to me clearly that all life-expression was of God—and that it was our human perception of this that made it appear material. “My,” I thought, “that’s wonderful! But isn’t it rather unbelievable? And if it’s true, why don’t others see it?” Then it came to me that perhaps there was a group of thinkers somewhere in the world who thought in that way, and that one day I might be guided to find them.
