(1988) The Eloists
1
Within Radiance flows the spirit of the Eloists. It is an expression of Light, and speaks with the Voice of the Living Spirit as It has come to be known through the Eloist family. 'Eloist' means a 'doer of the Creator's will.' The objective of Radiance is not so much to educate as it is to strike a keynote or set a tone that will help the reader to become attuned to 'the realm of thought in which angels dwell,' and in that harmony to learn how to rise in spirit to embrace a higher purpose.

LET YOUR LIVES SPEAK (1988)
Let your lives speak, knowing it is not the words professed that have importance,
but
rather
the
small
and
sometimes
seemingly
inconsequential acts that accumulate from day to day that make the difference.
Here on the Plateau, we, your friends, watch over you in the hope that we might inspire you on your way to nobler thoughts and deeds, often those which are at variance to what your peers would care to pursue or undertake. We strive to protect you from unsavory influences and spirits who may endeavor to lead you in the way of their own selfish designs. Often, where you are strong, we succeed. But at times when your will is weak or your nervous system is enervated or fatigued, our influence is hampered and the dark forces win out. Our temerity, however, is unfailing and as long as the potential for good persists in our wards, we will ride any storm to see them through. Think of us, as we think of you, sending us your loving blessings in Jehovih's name, and our bond will strengthen in ways that will benefit our labors for All Light, and for you as well. Seek the Light with all the force of your will, being tolerant of others who may differ from you, being compassionate to perceive the needs of others, and you will move through this life with greater peace of mind and joy of soul. 3
LIFT UP YOUR SPIRITS (1988)
The best thing you. can do for Jehovih's angels is to keep yourself in the best possible mood. You know
when you are slipping into the old,
mortal rats of thinking and feeling.
It is easy to give in to that
mood, to be mad at the world and be sorry for
kind of
yourself. But you can
tune out that wavelength and tune into the wavelength of Jehovih and His angel
workers. They are ready to help uplift your spirits
make an effort to open up to them. Think of feel loving, compassionate friend you
the things that make you
and kind. Babies? Puppies? Kittens? Or a

THE CREATOR IS EVER PRESENT (1988)
If the Creator is Ever Present with man, what is He
doing? How do His
will, wisdom and love manifest?
The love that you feel for another is of the The willingness to sacrifice intelligence
Creator's Presence in you.
self-desires for the good of another, the
and energy with which you carry out your daily activities,
are of the Creator's Presence in you. The mysterious element called "life" which makes you breathe keeps your heart beating, and all the organs
of your body functioning for the good of the whole, is
Creator's Presence. By giving Him recognition,
of the
praise, appreciation and
cooperation, you develop your oneness with Him, your attunement, and your capacity for expressing the higher light and beauty of the soul.
The Creator's purpose is not one of serving man's needs like a mother serves the needs of an infant, entertains
doing everything while the baby merely
himself. Man must learn how to lift himself out of
darkness;
and in doing so, he will develop his god-like talents and powers. The life of the soul of man is unending. The earth life is but a beginning stage out
of which man is born into the lasting reality of spirit.
5
This is man's
destiny, to serve his Creator, and to
perfect himself in all god-like
qualities and capabilities.
Man is a co-creator with the Almighty. If he creates unwisely, and suffers from the results, he must turn about and go another way, searching until he finds the All-Highest Light. Whichever way man turns, the Creator serves man, letting him make mistakes and learn from experience. Now we have cause for rejoicing because the earth and mankind are in a cyclic period of light. An upward swing toward peace, love and benevolence is imminent. It has already begun. Give recognition and faith to the Creator's Presence, and to His Power in you, and He will make you triumphant over all darkness and limitation.
EVERY SOUL IS IMPORTANT (1988)
Thy words of light are expressing through me now, O Creator. I am a powerful instrument of light and love, radiating an uplifting quality to all people within my reach. Thou art using me now. I am positive with Thee now, doing Thy will. My thoughts are concentrated, creating power for thy angels to use. I am using the power of thought to serve Thy purpose. I 6
am aware of Thy Presence. I am tuned with Thee. I expect to be inspired with thoughts that will be of help to others. Every soul is a potential soul of divine energy. Every soul can contribute to the building of a better world. Every soul is important, and is loved by Thee. Every soul will always be a part of Thy Being. As long as we are aware of our oneness with Thee, and are trying to serve Thee, we are being supported,
inspired and
protected. We are placing ourselves in Thy hands. We are giving ourselves to Thee, letting go always be
of self. No matter what happens, we shall
strong in faith in Thee, and will do our best to serve Thee.
This is our highest light. We are Thy instruments, now and forever.
JEHOVIH REIGNS THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE. (1988)
Jehovih reigns throughout the universe. Jehovih reigns in your soul. You are awake to His Presence.
You are aware of your oneness with Him.
Turn to Him for light and guidance. Be an instrument of His Light and Love. You are a blessing, love is your power. You are learning and growing. Mighty healing love flows through you to bless your world. You are a means of upliftment for many souls. You are doing the Creator's will. You think and act under His inspiration. The 7
hosts of the Almighty
support your efforts. Give them your faith and love. You are one with many in doing the Creator's will. You are strong in the light. You are true to the purpose. You are faithful to Jehovih. With all the force of your being, you are serving the All Highest.
BE READY FOR THE LIGHT (1988)
The glory of the heavens is blending with the earth's clouds of spiritual smog. It will penetrate deeply into the bowels of the earth and loosen the debris which has caused mankind's suffering for so many ages. Be ready for the combustion and reaction which will follow, and which has already shown outward signs of resistance and confusion. There are many beautiful souls on earth who are working for peace and want to help others in dire need; and they are being inspired and strengthened by the light from heavenly spheres. They are a good influence, and their work is being used by the angels to touch the souls of their fellow men and women. They can reach certain areas on the mental
plane that is
opening the doors for us through which to pour the awakening rays of Jehovih's light. Your work is of the
of dedication helps all those whose purpose
highest. 8
I AM A DOER OF THY WILL (1988)
I am a doer of Thy Will. Creator.
I am with Thee now in consciousness, O
I am a doer of Thy will, a co-creator with Thee. Thou art a
powerful influence in my life. Thou art victorious in bringing souls up out of darkness. I am an instrument for uplifting mankind. This is the reason I am here. There is nothing I -want but to serve Thy purpose. I wish to make everything I do contribute to the upliftment of mankind. All forces in my life are brought under the control of Thy Almighty Will. All energies are made to serve Thee. I am a dynamo of divine energy. I am a radiant sun of divine love. I am expressing the simple truths that have been with mankind for ages, the truths which have raised him up out of the primeval darkness. Thou art the truth of man's being, O Creator. Now we are recognizing Thy Presence. Now we are learning to cooperate with Thy angels. Now we are building a new order of benevolence. Thou art doing it through us. Nothing can halt the progress of mankind toward the perfection of his nature and his world. Mankind shall rejoice in liberation from darkness and his attunement with
Thee. Peace is earth
is becoming a reality in this age of light. Love is triumphant!

his
I LIVE ONLY FOR THEE (1988)
I rejoice in my awareness of Thy Presence, O Creator. Thanks for the good feelings that are now with me. Bless all people with these good feelings. Thou art a beautiful, healing love in me. I am strong to do Thy will. Mighty angels back my efforts. I am one with them. My mind is tuned with higher spiritual worlds. The mind and worries of the world do not touch me. Thy healing Presence is keeping this body in good health for the sake of others who need me, and for the sake of the group and its work. My faith is with Thee. I belong to Thee. Thou art doing what needs to be done through me. There is a divine purpose in my life. I live only for Thee. I live to fulfill my divine mission. I cannot take part in any activity that cuts me off from Thee. I am part of a mighty organization of angelic beings. Thou art the inspiration of this heavenly host. Praise to Thee for all the goodness and beauty of life. I rejoice in the loving feelings I am able to express. I rejoice because Thou art inspiring me to help people. Thou art my inspiration always. I live by Thy light. Thou art guiding me in making decisions. I know Thou art with me as I try to rise above self. Everything is in Thy hands.
10
PEACE BE WITH YOU ALWAYS. (1988)
Peace be with you always. Unwind, and put your faith in the Creator. Concentrate on your breathing, realizing it is Jehovih's breath breathing through you. Blot all disturbing thoughts from your mind, and do not let them separate you from your oneness with Jehovih and His angel hosts. You must keep a clean channel for the light to come through. You must be superior to negative thoughts and feelings, and stand on a firm foundation, like the Rock of Gibraltar. The storms may swirl around you, but cannot touch you when your beacon light is shining bright and strong.
STRONG IN THE DISCIPLINE AND THE LIGHT (1988)
Someday we will all be together as one happy family. Till then we must be content to work in harmony at a distance and to limit our communication to these mediumistic channels at these limited predetermined times. We often find it frustrating as you do, when conditions make our contact unclear and weak. But if you will remember that all" such disturbances are brief and cyclic and as subject to change as the weather, you will be 11
patient and simply wait until the cyclic variation becomes favorable again. Rest assured that it always has and it always will. When conditions cast an unwanted cloud over our proceedings, just go back to basics and await our return. Go through the motions of council as you always have. Do your meditations, affirmations and reading. Exercise, fast or recharge with forest or ocean. The basics will always prepare you and keep you well-tuned until conditions again become more favorable. Help others and do good unselfishly so that the thoughts directed toward you are positive and favorable. This helps us as well because thoughts are substantial and real; visibly so on our plane and invisibly so on yours. We are always there beside you, nevertheless, even when your dullness or the clouds in your environment make you doubt your senses. The difference is that your sharpened awareness allows you to maintain control and only allow those who are favorable and of the Light to remain in your presence. Those who are unaware of spiritual things and whose dullness prevents them from I seeing or hearing our presence are the most vulnerable and subject to manipulation by lower plane spirits. It is, unfortunately, the weak minded, the dull and undeveloped souls who are most subject to spirit influence of the lower realms. They are manipulated daily and are unaware of the source of their thoughts and inclinations, until truly their lives are not their own. You, however, are in control; control of your mind and your life. Be proud of that fact because it was a long spiritual struggle that required years of great mental discipline to get you there. You know it 12
does not come easily, nothing of any great value ever really does. So stand tall before your Creator and say, "Here I am, oh God, strong and capable, ready to do Thy will, now and forever. Amen!"
YOUR SPIRITUAL SUPPORT TEAM (1988)
Bless all your fellow travelers. They have a road to follow, just like you. And when it happens that they take a turn, send the thoughts that they need to stay on course. We all falter and we all can use a good support team behind us.
Recognition of your spirit guardians comes in time and you will enjoy their presence with you more and
more. The main talent it takes is
progressing to a point where you can grasp that everything is spiritual and therefore vivid and alive. When you nurture this truth you will feel the presence of many souls in spirit as they stand by you. Their lives have never stopped and they are as much a part of this picture as you and your immediate family and corporeal surroundings. You can converse and learn as much as you would with your corporeal friends. Weed out the monotony and the bondage of superficial trivia and join us for a real education. We are yours in spirit. 13
LEARNING IN SPIRIT (1988)
From the Plateau of the Blossoming Presence, we greet you. We are waiting for you to visit our Place of Radiance in spirit. There is unending information on the history of our planet in the library here, history you should learn that is not in your history books. We attend classes daily to learn of many things we have to learn in our spirit life here. We still have work to do in the upliftment of our brothers and sisters on the corporeal earth. We travel with the hosts of light in fireships. Those of us who are newly arrived here have much to learn, but angels of long experience say there is no end to learning of our Creator's vast creations. We who have had training in our corporeal life find that we can be of great help to the myriads of souls entering the heavens of the earth each day. Our assignments are always with angels of great advancement. We watch and learn how to help bewildered spirits understand they no longer have corporeal bodies. We help the angels of light and love teach new-born spirits how we exist here. We greet all new arrivals with tender love and understanding. All awakening is done with love, and we rejoice in our work. You on earth are helping to open avenues of soul strength to us on the Plateau of the Blossoming Presence. Your daily efforts accomplish more than you realize. We need your cooperation to speed the day of earth's awakening to the Creator's Presence in all life everywhere. 14
GENERATING INSPIRATION (1988)
When you are meditating, hoping to be inspired with words of light, and nothing comes through to you, try a different tactic. Instead of trying to get inspiration, try to give it. Think of someone you would like to help spiritually. Talk to the person in your imagination. Recognize him or her as a divine soul. See the soul's potentiality, affirm its beauty, its power, its intelligence, its loving, healing capability. See it as a child of the Creator surrounded by His angels who are also speaking to the soul, giving it inspiration. They might be saying, "Life is more than just an earthly existence." Life goes on forever in higher and higher worlds. You are a part of the universal life that is infinite and eternal. You are part of the life of the Creator, Who is present everywhere. Your life is His life; your being, His being. You can be a worker to bring the Creator's Light and Love to all the people of your world.
15
THE ANGELS OF MINISTRATION SPEAK (1988)
We dwell in an exalted State of Mind from which we can review all the kingdoms of the world. We no longer live in the narrow and limited thought characteristic of the conscious mind of humanity. We dwell in the expanded consciousness of our souls. In an instant of time we see and comprehend an array of facts and principles which the mind of man on earth would labor for years to understand.
We will give you glimpses of world problems and principles so that you may begin to see life as we see it. Give your imagination free rein that your winged steed may leap all the barriers of material thought and soar into the immensity of our comprehension.
Why grovel in the mire of earth when your Creator created you with the capacity to fly? Why be an earthling when you were made to be an Angel? Follow us in thought and we will exalt your minds from earth to heaven as fast as you are able to follow.
16
FIND THAT QUIET PLACE WITHIN (1988)
Praise be to Thee, O Creator! For each day that we live and learn and grow, we are truly grateful. For the beautiful things in the world we thank Thee. If only more people would use all of their senses, the world would be a much happier place. Anything that is not used will lay dormant and is useless to the person that passes it. Open your eyes and see all the beauty around you. Smell the wonderful fragrances. Hear the perfect harmony in a song. Taste the delightful textures and flavors in fruits and vegetables. Touch all the marvelous creations! Hail to Thee, O Creator! Thank Thee for all Thy gifts.
We must make time to meditate, to communicate with nature and with Thee. We have to find that quiet place inside of us where a beautiful garden awaits our exploration. We need to center ourselves within so that we can counteract the turmoil without. Each quiet meditation adds to the aura of peace around us and dissolves some of the disharmony in our vicinity. Be that center of peace and tranquility wherever you are. Remember that all disharmony is brought on by people's actions and reactions. Do not react to them. Rather, be the peaceful center in the storm. Remain unperturbed. Let the storm rage around you. You are the peaceful kingdom fortified by tranquility and inner contentment. You will 17
not react to others' actions. You will not let another's actions incite you to do something alien to your nature. You act; you do not react. You are the master of your own actions. No one will decide for you how you will act. Remain calm and poised at all times, for you are one of the chosen ones who has chosen to seek to understand the spiritual realms! Thus, you have a deeper understanding of the universal plan than most; therefore, you must set up a good example for the world to see!
KEEPING IN THE LIGHT (1988)
Be of good cheer. There are forces at work in your life that are as yet beyond your comprehension. We want you to remember this when you start to worry about upcoming events, obstacles or crises in your life. Just do that which you are able to do realistically at that point in time, and when you have dealt completely with those things that are within your control, don't waste energy pining over that which you can influence but little. Place the circumstances in Jehovih's hands and realize that He has a labor for you to do and He wants your life to follow a path that will best harmonize your labors with those of His Angelic Hosts, particularly those He has assigned to work with you and your group. Follow your highest 18
light day by day and let go of the rest. Your life will be less stressful and more filled with the joy of being. That is the best frame of mind for those who choose to be part of the work, and part of our organic association that extends in infinite levels from our heavens above and even to your plane below.
EXERCISE THE POWER OF YOUR SOUL (1988)
The persistent intrusion of thoughts pertaining to personal activities and problems makes concentration upon the light, love, will and purpose of Jehovih difficult. Here are a few suggestions: Recall to mind the great need of upliftment for all the world's people. Think of people you know who are in pain, or who are living under distressful circumstances. Think of the millions of lost, bound and suffering souls. This can take your mind away from self, and give you incentive. Create simple statements or affirmations that bring your light, soul strength and compassion into play. Relate yourself to Jehovih and His angel workers, and affirm your oneness with Him and them. You are now exercising the power of your soul. You are shutting out the worries and anxieties of the lesser self.
19
THINK OF THE ASHARS AT YOUR SIDE (1988)
Carry on in the work, dear friends, for your brothers and sisters in spirit who labor with you have a plan for the development of your life and labors, so that you will succeed in spite of all obstacles if your choice is the service of Jehovih, first, last and always. Be patient and take the time to be still and centered within yourself. There you will find the answers to your questions, and there you will have the opportunity to grow in the Light if you seek to serve free of self-centered interests and other forms of selfishness. We want you to grow in such a way that you will be a power to draw others into the work, not by force but by the power of a good example. We are always at your side: strengthening, inspiring, encouraging and protecting. We elevate your mood, bolster your confidence and provide you with experiences that will best serve the development of your soul-being. So if you can make a conscious effort to think of our presence with you and seek to open your mind to our inspiration, we can together work more effectively to accomplish Jehovih's will in this new age.
20
BE A SHINING RAY OF LIGHT (1988)
Smile a sunny smile to warm up your world. It needs a lot of shining rays of light to raise its spiritual level. A happy content person filled with love for all can add so much to the rays shining from above. That person can act' as a magnet to draw more radiant souls from higher realms to help earth. We delight in travelling on rays of love and laughter. They are so uplifting. We can travel for thousands of miles on them without fatigue. Did you ever notice that when you send out the purest form of love, unselfish, ever-giving love, that the satisfaction and happiness that go out from you were returned manyfold? Instead of being a giver, you become receiver in turn. This good feeling comes from your angelic hosts radiating their light and love to you to reward you for what you have given. Light attracts more light. Love begets more love. Once you have a protective pleroma, you do not have to fear about your light attracting darkness. The guardian hosts would see to it that does not happen.
You ask how can you attain the state that you would be assigned a protective pleroma. You must be dedicated to serving the Creator.' You must be associated with a group of people of like mind to become an organic group dedicated to His service. To the extent that you dedicate yourself, so will be the extent that you will be protected. To the extent that 21
you serve your Creator, so will you be served. The spiritual level of your angelic hosts will depend solely on your spiritual level. As you give, so shall you receive. This is the law of nature.
So, friends, dedicate yourselves to the service of your Creator, and all your needs will be taken care of. Have faith in Him that created us all.
THE EVER PRESENT CREATOR (1988)
Awake, awake, O children of earth, to know your Creator is Ever Present with you. You are cells of life in His great body of Being. Once you recognize His Presence with you, and you know that He is the Doer,路 the Inspirer, the One Who moves and acts through every breath that sustains you every moment, life for you will be a joy. You will give forth spontaneously to all your environment His quickening power of light and love. Your recognition will light the fires of your soul being, and the higher self will burst forth with power, spreading like a forest fire from soul to soul. Minds and hearts shall become inflamed with the joy of giving. This tiny planet will truly shine in the firmament, and souls of mankind will be as 22
brothers and sisters in loving reverence to their Father-Mother Creator. The earth will flash forth rays of light to all the heavens of this solar system, and they will feel the happiness of the selfless souls giving their all to All Creation for His glory forever
ANGELIC PERSPECTIVE ON LIFE'S BLESSINGS (1988)
The hope of life everlasting through the Light Eternal, All Wise and All Knowing, is our message. We have been with you for many years. Even when you knew us not and when you had scant consciousness of things spiritual; you were all potential and the path of your unfolding remained a total mystery. How marvelous is the gift of life! How amazed you would have been if you could have known the path you were to follow to reach yourself on this day. How much more amazed you would be to know your path over your remaining mortal years which we know will be a good measure more than the years that have passed if you continue to care for your mortal vessel in the proper way. Think yet again of how amazed you would be to see the path of your life unfolding through as little as your first few thousand years on the planes of spirit with us! Consider the time frame and realize how little along the way you really are, and how much it 23
behooves you to maintain your pace and effort and not slacken your stride. Life is a blessing and at the same time an enigma, for only the great I AM, Jehovih, knows our true destiny or can comprehend in its entirety the meaning and purpose of it all. Even we who have long passed through the portal of death still marvel at the mystery of it all. We only ask that you assist us as we endeavor to assist you by continually focusing on your oneness of purpose with the I AM. Center yourselves daily in attunement with His Ever Presence within you! Always seek to know His will and you will never be far wrong.
In oneness with the great I AM, life is as much a blessing as it is a mystery!
FREEDOM
FROM
DARKNESS
(1988)
Let Thy love flow through us, O Creator. We want to help bring more love into the world: love that is uplifting and beneficial, love that inspires people to be kind and helpful to one another. We thank Thee for a day of harmonious affiliation, a day of energy, and a day of good work accomplished. We thank Thee for the opportunity to come together in 24
council every day. It is the most important thing we do. It is time of closer communion with Thee, and a time for genera ting soul power for the use of Thy angels in their work of liberation. Liberating the earthbound spirits is most important, for it relieves the pressure of darkness upon mankind and allows freer soul expression.
CREATE BEAUTIFUL THOUGHTS (1988)
Thank Thee for the positive thoughts and feelings that come to us, O Creator. At this moment, we are open to receive Thy inspiration. As we direct our thoughts into areas where light is needed, as we try to help others and create light in the darkness of the mortal world, Thou art with us, giving us energy and inspiration. We have the power to create good thoughts, beautiful thoughts that are helpful to others. Our friends, relatives, and all our contacts are blessed. Our attunement with Thee makes路 it possible. Souls are being made aware of Thy Presence. Souls are being inspired to act benevolently, to do more good for others than they have ever done before. The quality of loving kindness is growing in souls everywhere. It IS a manifestation of the light of the Kosmon Era. People of wealth are awakening to know that their pleasures and luxuries 25
are out of place in this world of suffering. From Thy voice speaking in their souls, they are beginning to know that they must use their wealth to help the millions of needy people In the world.
CREATE MUSIC (1988)
Hosts of mighty angels bless your soul with peace; Hosts of mighty angels bid all discord cease.
Think of these words and meditate upon their soothing effect. Let the light of the angelic beings bring calm and quiet to your mind and soul. You are like a delicate musical instrument, and can send out lovely rhythms of beauty and upliftment; or, if you choose, you can send out harsh, discordant sounds that interfere with the angelic light expressing to and through you to others. Thoughts and feelings have color and sound to the spiritual eye and ear. So be an instrument of light and love as part of the symphony orchestra that keeps you in tune with the harmonious chords of the angelic hosts.
26
CHANGES ARE ADVENTURES (1988)
Time waits for no one. We must all move forward, regardless of our own inner volitions. For some, this is a difficult phenomenon in life because they resent any change in their lives. For others, it is an adventure where every new experience is savored and happily chronicled. Which one would you rather be? The one that struggles along with a defeatist attitude, or the one that is in control and is an optimist. The choice is yours.
We welcome changes. They make our lives interesting. They turn work into play. Changes take the monotony out of every day occurrences. Ultimately, changes are what enable us to go through our daily Iives without being bored to tears. So, adapt to changes. Take the initiative. Do not drag your feet. Changes are inevitable. They will come whether you want them or not. Welcome them with open arms. Be glad something new is happening in your life!
Even a stormy change will pass over quickly, if you deal with it immediately and forcefully. Some changes are so sunny that you could probably get a beautiful sun tan if they could generate heat as well. Others are so ordinary that you might not have noticed their occurrence 27
until some time later. These are the Creator's gifts to us. We must thank Him for His Wisdom and Love! May your days be filled with happy changes that tickle your funny bones!
HOLDING LIFE IN YOUR HANDS (1988)
Truth is abundant, abundantly available in all its nuances. So you can begin to piece together the puzzle from any point in time and in whatever location you happen to be. We will help you with problems, but you are the initiator of the search, and yours is the satisfaction of making that first discovery and many others along the line.
We will not take credit for showing you how the universe works; the Ever-Present made everyone capable of understanding the Creation. We can only point and beckon for you to hold life in your own hands and examine it as you would a small globe, full of wonderful designs and unending symmetry. See the lush color and glistening potential? You are that globe, just as your neighbor and the whole earth are, too. Join with the Creator to make it glow.
28
KEEP ON LEARNING (1988)
Your desire to learn something new each day is a good resolution. Here in the higher spiritual realms, we never stop learning. We have been given many faculties for learning, and we know we should not become sluggish, and think we know enough to get by. There is much to learn on earth that can benefit your growth, helpful things that can make you a more efficient and capable person. When you pass into the spiritual world, you will keep on learning more and more about the things you learned while on earth. You will study the many spiritual realms and the higher heavens, just as you study the countries and continents on earth. You will learn where everything is situated and the activities that take place there. To be a seeker of knowledge is to be a well-rounded person on any plane. As you keep on learning, you will find a wealth of new discoveries coming from your own desire for knowledge. You will find worlds about you that you didn't know existed. Open up to spiritual inspiration every day, and you will go forward to a greater knowledge of all worlds and fields of endeavor in which you find yourself.
29
KEEP ON TRYING (1988)
Millions are suffering pain, hunger, thirst, grief, despair. Many terrible misfortunes and tragedies afflict Thy children, O Creator. Those of us who have been given light, and are blessed with all necessities, know that we must try to do something to help upraise mankind. We know that we must direct the full force of our natures to serving Thy purpose, and not let ourselves be distracted by selfish desires. We must constantly practice using the power of thought and prayer to express the light and love of our souls, and thus become Thy agents here on earth, guided by Thy angel hosts. We must not let ourselves express anything negative, but always sustain faith, courage and a positive, optimistic attitude. There is great power directed in prayer to Thee for the upliftment of humanity. It is easy to find ways to amuse ourselves, and we are constantly doing this. We often fail to live up to our highest light. Are we setting too high a goal for ourselves? Are we trying to do more than we are capable of doing? Right or wrong, we must keep on trying.
30
HOW CAN WE REPAY THEE, O CREATOR? (1988)
Praise be to Thee, O Creator, for all Thy wondrous blessings to all souls! Thanks be to Thee for Thy gift of life! Glory be to Thee for Thy gift of music and songs. Thy gifts are too many for us to enumerate. How can we thank Thee sufficiently? How can we repay our debts, and show our gratitude?
The answer comes spontaneously: by being the best persons that we can be, by lending a helping hand to any creature who needs it, by being compassionate and kind to all living souls, by giving our love to all those that we come into contact with, and by setting a good example for our children to follow. Even if we did all those things, we can only repay a small amount of Thy kindness and love so freely given to all.
We must serve others in this world as well as in the next, and learn to be selfless in our daily lives. This is no easy task, especially on the mortal plane. Self always comes into play in mundane affairs. We must always try to be true, just and fair, always putting ourselves in the other person's place, always willing to trust and to listen.
Above all, we must learn never to complain about our lot, for in so doing, 31
we are implying that Thou has been unkind to us and made us suffer. A few setbacks might just be the thing that would give us that extra push to forge ahead, to find out more about ourselves and to learn about the extraordinary resources that we have within each of us. That is so easy to say, but so hard to do. All of us like to complain, like to feel sorry for ourselves when something goes wrong, and especially to justify or rationalize our misdeeds or errors, however irrational the reasons may be. We don't like to admit simply that we made a mistake. Let us try and see whether we can blame it on someone else first. But does that really make us feel better? Does that right the wrongs? You already know the answer. The only way to learn from your mistake is to admit that you have made one and then find out what you could do differently next time and move on to something else. Otherwise, your mistakes will come back to haunt you because you have never admitted to them. They were always caused by someone else or something else over which you have no control.
You need not be a victim. You need to be an agent of change. You need to change your own behavior and attitudes to allow for mental and spiritual growth. With a more positive frame of mind, spiritual growth comes easily to you. You are a happier and more content person. You have finally made peace with yourself. Your inner voice finally vibrates on the same level as your outer one. They no longer disagree with each other. All is harmony. All is peace. All is love. All is well with the world. 32
Children of the Light, grasp your opportunities on earth to learn and to grow into mighty gods and goddesses to glorify Thy Creator!
THE POWER OF SONG (1988)
Music has many intrinsic qualities that people have never realized. It not only calms nerves, but actually creates an atmosphere of peace, with the right kind of music, of course. Whenever you are inspired to sing, you are creating a harmonizing sphere around your vicinity that helps to clear away disharmony and undesirable influences. Each sound expands from you outward in a sphere to harmonize all the elements that sound waves can reach. That is why a long breath is a very useful thing in this kind of singing. The longer you can keep your tone, the larger is the sphere that you can harmonize. When your tones reached the sublime, that harmonizing sphere covered your whole property and extended above and below it. You have no idea what a wonderful and useful talent this is.
This harmonizing sphere can change the darker vibrations to lighter ones (although it cannot eliminate I them altogether), and drives the darkest 33
ones to the outside of the sphere which makes our job of removing them that much easier. The lighter ones tend to stay close to you and that is as it should be. We are working on the combination of tones and vowels to come up with a better arrangement. Our musician friends are lending us a helping hand.
EMPATHY CREATES POWERFUL BLESSINGS (1988)
Think how fortunate you are to have been given light, and how much you are helped by your awareness of the Creator's Presence in your soul, and in all life. Think of the millions of sick people who do not have knowledge of eternal life and oneness with the Creator. Bless all people who are worse off than yourself, using the power that has been given to you. There are tragedies taking place every moment in every city in every country of the world; and most of the people involved are ignorant of the reality of spiritual life, and of eternal growth into realms of supreme happiness, harmony and love. Even while you are suffering, you can bless others who are suffering. You can feel a great compassion and desire to help them because of your own pain and your awareness of the Creator's Presence. You know that your ability to bless others is a 34
god-like power given into your hands for serving mankind; and that you cannot neglect using it.
LET YOUR INNER SPRING FLOW (1988)
Like the beautiful spring blossoms that come forth each year, your inner spring wishes its presence to be known and be allowed to flow free and unhindered. Release what is inside you and you will be amazed at its intensity and diversity. This is a part of you that unfortunately most people will never get to see. Even you yourself doubt whether those were your thoughts from time to time. You wondered whether there were some higher beings at work. Have faith in your inner self and your ability to be creative and resourceful. The Creator has created you with lots of both, for you are created from Him by Him. You are veritable gods and goddesses in the making and must be worthy of this task, to grow forever upward!
Perish all doubts and uncertainties, for all is possible in the Light of the All One. Ask and you shall receive. That is the simple truth.
35
Think daily about your spiritual well-being. You shall reap the seeds you sow, therefore, sow spiritual growth and harmony.
We understand that it is difficult for you to maintain a proper perspective when by the nature of your work you all are immersed to a certain degree in Uz. However, as long as you know this and persist in your efforts to develop spiritually, your connections with Uz may be an advantage. They have allowed you to grow in stature, although you have been faced with many difficult problems and situations. You have already conquered your inner self by devoting part of your day to glorifying the Creator. We encourage you to build an edifice of shining spiritual beauty around your corporeal body to glorify the One that created us all.

WHO AM I? (1988)
There is nothing but the light, love and power of the Great Spirit, Jehovih, The Eternal Being. This that I am is His Presence. I am one with Him. Nothing exists here but Jehovih's Being. I am a manifestation of His will, wisdom and love. I serve only the Great Spirit, the Supreme Being. All self is lost, put aside, denied out of existence. Only Jehovih rules here and now. There is no other Being, no being apart from Him. He is all. .
A COUNCIL FOR BLESSING FROM REALMS ABOVE (1988)
See our beautiful home in the forest. It stands like a hidden alabaster jewel. It is most amazing to look upon and almost takes you by surprise when you enter the clearing after walking through such a quiet and dense forest path. The light streaming through great tall pine trees (almost reminiscent of giant redwoods) leaves a dancing pattern on the iridescent walls of the building. Though there is no darkness, no shadows, yet in this instance there does seem to be an extra brightness there above the trees that allows these beams of light to burst down between the branches 37
somewhat like you would expect to see in an earthly forest on a sunny day.
The structure of the building, with its tall columns and grand oversized windows, strikes a most impressive pose. As you approach, you can often hear music reverberating from within as musicians sing and play in concert with the great organ at the west end of the hall. Our spirits are lifted into reverie by the sweet spiritually pure songs that emanate from the hall. You know at once that something special and unique occurs there, and as mortal Eloists you know this is so.
As we approach today, we know there is a special focus being held, for two members of the Algonquin nation stand as honor guards at either side of the front steps, each dressed in full ceremonial "gowns" of their clan. Their appearance is somewhat incongruous. They fit the forest surroundings well enough, but seem somewhat out of place next to the marble columns at the top of the steps. Soon, others begin to stream in as they approach from the various pathways leading in through the forest, all dressed in the typical pastel gowns and outfits, ready for whatever the spiritual focus promises to provide.
You are already aware, I am sure, of the energy created by music when played in the realm of spirit. The effect of the energy produced can 38
actually be seen as patterns of light, sometimes in waves, sometimes a ball of undulating light above the orchestra. Imagine, if you will, how much more intense these patterns become if you begin with the full pipe organ as well as other "wood wind" instruments and string instruments as our councils do. Add to this the spontaneous vocals that often accompany the music, and add to this still the vortices generated by the spontaneous dance of the worshippers creating more vortices with their bodies, their arms and their minds as they dance about the floor. The patterns generated and the energy produced are great indeed.
Then as the clouds of iridescent light collect above the rotunda, picture the results when the time comes for the council to bless those in need. As their thoughts are crystallized in loving unity of thought and as their words of blessing and affirmations choose their mark, wisps of energy, like multicolored lightning bolts, streak from the corona of the cloud above the meeting hall, and with a "clap" of rolling thunder, streak across the heavens or down to the earth to energize and sustain those in need, as well as the ashars who have those soul in their charge. Thoughts are potent. Thoughts are things which can be directed for good. This is all too evident to us on our plane of existence, and it will be all the more apparent to you as well when you at last join us here in spirit.

CHOOSE TO CELEBRATE HAPPINESS (1988)
Happiness is a gift from the Creator. All have received that gift, yet not all choose to use the gift. For some, happiness fills all the empty spaces inside and out. They choose to celebrate happiness. They are determined to use happiness as a shining golden cloak about them, not only to ward off evil, but to welcome good. Others choose to dissipate the gift they were given. Even at moments when they should be happy, they choose to be upset about something. It matters little what, as long as they can complain about something so they know that they are not really happy.
The world is divided into these two groups of people. Which group do you belong to?
Choose to celebrate happiness. Choose to smile. Choose to love. Choose to radiate warmth and goodwill. Let all in your world marvel at your happy disposition and wonder where is the well from which springs such happiness. Let them know that it can be attained with some effort. If you sow the seed of happiness with love and cultivate it, you will grow happiness in abundance. If you cultivate depression, you will also reap a bountiful harvest. No effort is ever made in vain. So watch what you say and do, lest you sow the wrong seed and reap a sad harvest. 40
Always let the inner Light shine through to reveal the radiant happy being hidden underneath the corporeal cloak!
FREE YOURSELF (1988)
Letting go means not fighting anything, not wanting something so badly that you push everything else out of the way to get it, not becoming bound to your desires. Don't let yourself become bound to anything. The experiences you need to fulfill your life will come to you naturally. We do not want your lives to be dull and repetitious. We do new and interesting things on the higher plateaux. That is part of growing and expanding. Do what you. do joyfully, not in a tense and irritated manner. Let yourself go and accept what comes to you. You may not like it, but nothing can be too bad if you are putting yourself in Jehovih's hands. People who depend upon outside things, money, prestige, power, etc., for happiness become bound to these things. Be free as a bird, and be bound to nothing material. We all have responsibilities, yes, and must be dependable, and not shirk them. That is not being bound. We want to be responsible in all we do.

TRUTH FROM THE PLANES OF LIGHT (1988)
Oahspe has been our major contribution to awaken mortals to the greater spiritual truths that they are now mature enough as a race to comprehend, especially in reference to their evolution into a new age of corporeal and spiritual sophistication.
It has never been our intention that that would
be the final installment of truth from our planes. Rather it was intended to be an overview, an “ice breaker�, so to speak, that would allow the reader a comprehensive realization that would free his mind of the shackles that have bound him to the half-truths, misconceptions, and lies of the past.
We are now on the verge of a new era, one that will endure for somewhat less than forty centuries and has as yet only consumed somewhat more than its first.
It has barely begun and already you have progressed
corporeally from horse-drawn wagons to space ships, not to mention in many more subtle ways as well, due to our continual inspiration over the years.
Have faith in yourselves and the future will unfold as it should. There will be many changes in your society through the next decade.
Lifestyles
will be reshaped in many ways and events will be somewhat more 42
disruptive through the coming decade than they were in the decade past. We are now in a new decade by our calendar (140 A.K.) and you will see some changes this year, that will accelerate as the next few years roll upon us.
From your mortal viewpoint you should remain centered and
secure, not taking on any changes in lifestyle that would create any great disruption, risk, or confusion, because you may find the added effects of disruption in your environment a bit too disconcerting for your own peace of mind. Keep focused on your work whatever you choose that to be, and keep yourselves centered and secured, like a starfish on a rocky shoal, and you will not be washed away by the changing tides. There is much conflict and confusion yet to be resolved before the Light peaks at the end of the next decade.
Remember that the rising luminosity of
spiritual light is not always comfortable, but it is always humbling, centering, and mellowing to those that understand the workings and mechanisms involved and who therefore are appreciative in their greater wisdom.
