the high mountain." We know how Jesus went up into the mountain to pray; and it was in "an exceeding high mountain" that he met and conquered the strongest claims of the flesh! We need to be established in the highest consciousness, to be able to deny the allurements of sense, or appearances. In the Old Testament stories peculiar reference is made to mountains; and by finding the spiritual significance, most helpful truths are gleaned from the narratives.

"The ark rested upon the mountains," lifted up by the waters that had destroyed the "World of the ungodly." Our ark of safety finds its resting place in Divine Consciousness, borne upward upon the flood of light and Truth, that has destroyed our beliefs of darkness and error.

Moses went into the Mountain to receive the commands of the Lord. We likewise meet the Divine, face to face, when we rise into pure consciousness. John says that he was carried away in Spirit. "To a great and high mountain," where he saw "The holy Jerusalem descending out of heaven from God." -- Rev.21:10. When in the Spirit we are lifted into "a great and high" consciousness, the same vision awaits us. We see in this high consciousness, heaven and earth as one heaven, and hear Truth saying, of this new heaven and earth, "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain, . . . and there shall be no more curse, . . . And there shall be no night there, . . . for the Lord God giveth them light." -- Rev. 21:4. 22:3, 5. We cannot see this except from the height of pure Consciousness, even in "His holy mountain."
