YE ARE SLUMBERING GODS

The essential attributes of the Great Spirit are organized in your individual soul. The Creator has organized omniscient love into a glowing sun of light and power, and this divine ego is your soul, your true self, the Power of your mind and body.

The living Pearl of Divinity is the Presence of Jehovih within your nature. You can well afford to sell all your accumulations of earthly thought, even though it seems a great sacrifice, in order to attain conscious possession of this Pearl of great price.

This divine individual essence of Jehovih is slumbering in the spiritual depths of your being, awaiting the quickening word to arouse Its mighty consciousness into spiritual activity and power.

Spiritualize your mind and body, or your positive and negative mind, with the radiance of the Creator’s presence through prayerful devotion, for thus you will polarize to yourself the spiritual emanations of the Ever-Present, which will surround and infuse your soul with heavenly life and strength, and awaken it again to a realization of its mighty possibilities as a living son or daughter of the Creator.

In fervent devotion of spirit, pour out your prayers and praises to the Great Glory Who is the sum of Almightiness within and above your soul being, and thereby you will generate the quickening flame that will set your soul on fire with conscious, blissful power.

Only in the zeal and purity of a devotional life, of a mind and body purified of earthly thoughts and desires and living to fulfill the purpose of the soul, which is the will of the Creator, can the soul develop, expand its immortal potentialities, and make the Ever-Present’s power manifest in your being.

Unless you are living for your soul, you have not learned to live; the great meaning and purpose of life are to you as a book that has not been opened. You are conscious in only the lowest and dreariest zone of your consciousness. All the blissful pleasures of the higher states of thought and feeling in your being, the joyous mingling of the positive and negative attributes of your spiritual nature, are hidden from you. The doors of heaven, through which streams the light of eternal consciousness, seem closed, and you seek for pleasure and peace where none are to be found.

Turn to the Light that never fails, to the Love that is longing to enfold you in conscious bliss; turn from your idols of flesh, which

intoxicate the mind and destroy the body; turn to the Creator! If you will worship the Eternal Presence with the same untiring zeal with which you sought transient things, you will be rewarded with the Infinite’s unchanging Love, and your soul will awaken to immortal Life. Then, with your help, it will purify and glorify the sacred centers in your body and teach you the secret of spiritual alchemy, whereby the conserved forces of your body pass through a transmutation that refines them into a substance necessary to the soul in the expression of the Word of Power.

This knowledge will be useless to you unless you have proven your sincerity by overcoming the selfish and mortal desires that hold you back, and by conquering all attractions that would draw you from your devotion to your divine purpose of making the Ever-Present Spirit manifest in your life. For without absolute purity of life, the soul, which is born from the immaculate purity of the divine nature, cannot keep in correspondence with the flesh, because of the partition created by unprogressive thoughts and feelings. But when your will, coupled with the awakened will of your soul, has gained complete dominion over the desires of the flesh, your soul will express through your pure, true thought, and flood the seven sacred centers in your body with its soul consciousness.

O, that all children of the Creator might learn of the holy path of
