"This Course is written for the express purpose of leading you along the path of the Masters; freeing you from limitation and imitation in the world of forms, creeds, dogmas, ideas, theories, concepts, etc., that limit and confuse the mind, thereby distorting the Truth. You cannot discern or understand unless the mind is free and unlimited, for it is the Natural Intelligence that opens the way to the understanding of life. You cannot perceive the Truth because it is beyond your perception; what you perceive is only in your imagination, an idea, a sensation, an image; whereas Truth is none of these. But through the super-technique, as explained in this Course, there comes a supreme understanding."

The "Commentary Notes," are taken from a series of lectures, on the book, Murdo gave in Johannesburg between 1945-6.

(DEFINITIVE EDITION)

"The Truth is Eternal, Birthless and Deathless, forever the same," but the teaching of the Truth is always changing to finer and higher expressions as man unfolds. There is a lot of knowledge in the Bible that is hidden from the many; esoteric knowledge, that which came through the great Prophets and was revealed to the inner circle of disciples. As the race unfolds, so does the Truth unfold to the Race through the individual. . ." 

"To keep the body in perfect health one must watch one's thoughts, one's actions, one's diet, have sufficient exercise, occupational rectification exercises and so on. Watch your posture and do all the necessary things that bring about a strong, healthy mind and body.
No one can have perfect health without a knowledge of spiritual, mental and physical Laws.
Together with my book Spiritual and Mental Healing you should be well enough informed to enable you to apply these laws so that the precious gift of Health can be yours."

"There is much to understand and learn in the art of healing, but when you acquire the knowledge which gives you the foundation and confidence required in healing, you will soon be able to help yourself and others. With this knowledge there is no reason why you should not be able to heal and, often, instantaneously. The main thing in healing is to know the Truth. The Divine Spirit in man is inexhaustible and infallible, and is perfect. It is expressing itself continuously; it does not have to be urged. We have only to believe in it and it comes forth of its own accord."

"Divine Metaphysics is a system or technique that enables us to eliminate from our minds, our bodies and our circumstances, adverse conditions and replace them with perfect health and happiness and an abundance of the things we need. You may say that this is a tall order. Nevertheless it is true. It has been done by the Masters, who state positively that it can be done by anyone who will practise diligently.
The greatest known exponent of Divine Metaphysics was Jesus, the Master. There were other Masters before and after him who also demonstrated this wonderful power which man is capable of using in his life."

"In the spring of 1948 a series of talks was given in Johannesburg to those who were chosen to hear them, this was a unique and unforgettable experience. No one who heard them could ever be the same again. They were hours of the highest spiritual growth and understanding. It was as though a veil were torn from our eyes and we could see clearly. The veritable presence of the Master became so strong a reality to us that it never faded but grown in intensity and vividness. And always, since that time, when we lift our minds to spiritual things, suddenly we know the Master is beside us, the Power of the Father is within and all is well."

The Recorded Lectures of
Dr. MURDO MACDONALD-BAYNE

The following digital recordings are currently available. 

Each recording has been edited to remove the residual noise to a level that does not interfere with the vocal. Extraneous noise such as coughing, hall, traffic noise, and Murdo's long pauses have been removed. Wire breaks and undecipherable speech, announcements and talk errors have also been removed to avoid confusion. These definitive digital recordings retain the core inner teaching as given in his closed sessions in South Africa and are not made for purists but for the sincere students of Murdo's teachings today and the future.

In total it is expected that approximately 128 recordings will be released. These will be released in batches along with a book.
