Realms of Radiance — (1998-1999) — The Eloists by Robert Bayer

Radiance (1998-1999) The Eloists

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.

EXPRESS THE ETERNAL BEING

Millions of angels are blessing millions of souls on earth. Millions of earthbound spirits are being uplifted. Thy Hosts, O Creator, are working in unison. All are attuned to One Keynote which is Thy Supreme Intelligence, Authority and Love. Or, to use a single term, Thy Supreme Being. We feel we are part of Thy Work, one with Thy Hosts. We have the responsibility and obligation to be loyal to them and to Thee. We are determined to be loyal, and to continue trying to see how we can be better instruments for Thee, so that a greater and greater work can be accomplished through us. How wonderful it is that we are learning to rise above discouragement and depression, and to overcome moods of darkness! Now we need only to affirm Thy Presence and the magnitude of Thy Works, and our oneness with Thee. This is not a personal achievement for personal glory. This is the power and glory of Thy Being coming into expression through many souls in this day for the establishment of a new order of peace and goodwill on earth.

OUR STAR (1998)

Thou art impressing our souls with inspiration that we need for our development, O Creator. We write it down that we may not easily forget it. Thou art saying at this moment, "Be wary of the things that give you earthly pleasure, lest you become bound to them. Give not your love to things which progress not. Make your love independent of the form of things. Give praise and thanks, respect, admiration and goodwill, but attach yourself to no person or thing so as to make yourself dependent. Come all the way down to Me, your Foundation. Or, up to Me, as you would have it. I am your Goal, your Star, and the one ever-reliable object of your thoughts, feelings, desires and aspirations. Use love in a manner which will free you, and free others. See My Presence in all things and all people. Direct your love through the outer form to the Essence.

Stop

nowhere until you reach Me. Then let the joy of your being flow forth freely and endlessly. All will be benefited. All will be uplifted."

TALKING WITH THEE (1998)

We are talking with Thee, O Creator, with the desire to learn how to serve Thee better. We seek answers to our questions, and greater attunement with the wavelength of Thy will, wisdom and Love. We want to uplift ourselves that we may help uplift others. We want to be able to sustain awareness of Thy Presence, with faith in Thy Power, in the midst of darkness. We want to be purified, that we may see more clearly, and work more efficiently. We want to give faith to Thy Angels who are our protectors and helpers. We want to add our voice of faith and song of praise, to theirs. We want to learn to love and enjoy life in Thy service; to accomplish Thy mission and fulfill the destiny for which we were created. We want to liberate every spirit who may be impinging upon our natures, so that they too will become progressive souls, and find peace and joy in serving Thee. Thy boundless spiritual universe extends on and on, to glory after glory, for all who make themselves Thy servants. Praise to Thee, O Creator! Thanks for the awareness and the joy of this moment

OUR NATURE AND PURPOSE (1998)

The great secret of Life, O Creator, is that it is Thy Presence. Our purpose is to realize that Presence. Thy Presence is of love, will and intelligence, serving the Good of the Whole. Humanity is not expanding the Truth. Humanity is confining it, for it is ignorant of its true nature and purpose. We turn life inward upon ourselves like a contractive vortex, winding itself up into a ball, trapping the inner glory, holding it prisoner. When we try to help another, would it not be wise to point out, not that individuals alone are in error, but that all humanity is in a state of darkness, and unaware of the true meaning of existence? Humanity is not held in this darkness by a power greater than itself. We are our own jailers. If we but knew it, we could unlock the cell door and walk to freedom. The secret of our ability to release the energy, wisdom and love of Thy Presence, O Creator, is in learning to unwind ourselves, reversing the vortex, making ourselves an expanding universe, pouring forth, giving away all things in service to Thee and to our fellow forms of life. Doing this with faith in Thee, our Creator, the Ever-Present Power and Glory, we know that the Infinite is forever creating through us.

THE RIGHT KEYNOTE (1998)

Praise to Thee, O Creator! Thanks for life and all its gifts. We are forever asking questions as though understanding were everything. We want to know everything there is to know. Suppose Thy angels revealed all to us, answered all our questions explicitly, let us look into the spiritual worlds without hindrance? Would we then be better human beings, more loving and more willing to serve Thee?

others. We tend to want to use our wills to force others in our world to our way of thinking. Humanity is made up of millions of separate dictators, and separate philosophers, all different in their ideas. What is the right keynote, 0 Creator, which will make us one? It is attunement with Thy Will, Wisdom and Love, possibly only through self-abnegation. It is seeing ourselves as we really are, little children in Thy sight. It is through humanity, and bringing forth the star of Divinity that is within. It is acknowledging Thy All-ness, and Thy Omnipotence.

THE DEGREES OF CONSECRATION (1998)

Thou hast inspired us, O Creator, with a new and deeper sense of consecration, a more complete surrender of the "my" self to "Thy" Self. The giving of the whole self to Thee is like a melodic theme which runs through the score, continually repeating, and dominating the composition. We voice it over and over within ourselves. It is necessary to keep returning to it, giving it words for added force, and not letting the pressures of darkness draw us back to unrelated passages. We see that there are degrees of consecration. To say that we are consecrated to Thee is to speak with little meaning. We have not yet put away all childish things. But with each repetition of the theme, the meaning deepens, and 9

the will to sustain it is strengthened. The term

"single-mindedness" is

helping us to hold faithfully to our part. All the attention, energy, and intelligence that we are capable of giving must be given now. Recognition of Thy Ever-Presence and Supreme Authority, O Creator, in faith, praise, thankfulness and rejoicing, while practicing goodwill and good works for one another, is our service to Thee now and forever.

A PLAN FOR CHANGE (1998)

We all have shortcomings; that is, undeveloped areas that are waiting to release their old habits and learn something new. It can be how we look at things, or respond to people, or approach a task, or organize our household. Certainly we know that there is a different way to go about doing it, but we have not made it our own just yet.

Can we visualize how our life would be if we did change an old habit? This is the first step forward. Do we have incentive to make the break? Would we breathe more easily if the shortcoming were eliminated? What about our family? Can we put into action a plan which would support a change for ourselves? Positive must supplant negative or non-productive actions if we are to succeed. Can. we smile at ourselves as we move 10

toward more rewarding and life-enhancing behaviors? The Creator will applaud along with us as we develop our full and loving natures.

ON PRAYER (1998)

Prayer is the recognition of a power outside of yourself that will respond to your petitions. These prayers are answered, according to their quality and your quality, by beings who are in close association with you. Your demands or requests are attended to and comprehended by hosts who stand close, some of whom are intensely interested in serving your purpose and answering your prayer. Man has prayed for ages to stone statues, pieces of wood, to trees and to saviors, and to gods, false and true, always directly his petitions outside of himself, getting answers according to the degree of his influence and the materiality of the beings associated with him. This you know. We say that the purpose of our presence is to awaken your consciousness to the realization that you and the Eternal are one. You are not separated from the Godhead. The Creator is not in heaven or afar. He is the I Am that I am. He is you. He is all. He is everywhere, and you are Him. In your cognition of the Eternal Presence and in your awareness of your oneness, the perfection of each 11

individual and of the Creator must manifest, because in reality the Creator is perfection. As your awareness grows, you shall become aware that those you seek to help are the same as you. They are one with the Eternal Perfection. This is a tremendous fact we are trying to impart to your consciousness. We will get it over eventually, but it is beyond the mind, and beyond the old ideas of metaphysics. It is supra-physics. It is dynamic Reality. The Creator is you. There is no separation. The mind cannot and will not see this. The mind thinks of God as afar and apart. The mind thinks of the exalted higher Beings as separate from the Infinite. This is not true. Their oneness and understanding makes them the very essence of the Creator â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just as you are potentially. To this understanding and realization are we dedicated.

THY HAND IS WORKING IN ALL LIVES (1998)

We think we have grown a little over the years, O Creator! We are not so critical and not so easily disturbed by others. We are more understanding, more loving, and more cheerful. We are more willing to leave others free to follow their own light (meaning especially those close to us) without fear, either for ourselves or for them. We believe we have a greater awareness, and have grown in strength of will and purpose. A little more 12

of the self has been lost, and we are better able to be Thy instruments. We see more clearly Thy Hand working in all lives. Thou art moving us in ways unseen and unknown. We do not always understand Thy meaning in everything that happens, but we have faith that the good is there, and will eventually manifest. For Thou art in control, O Jehovih! All people are Thine. We try to relax in this awareness, and rejoice that we are alive. Love, joy, beauty and perfection are the essences of which we are made, and Thou hast given us an eternity in which to develop them. The divine soul, which is a seed in every one, has potentialities beyond our imagination or belief. Its oneness with Thee is the all-conquering, allrevealing, all-uplifting truth of the nature of humanity.

THE UNFOLDING OF KOSMON (1998)

The work of this new age of Kosmon is a long and arduous process requiring careful, patient and long-term planning. The process was begun many thousands of years prior to this era's inception. In fact, the way has been paved since the cultivation of your planet first began. Each calculated step taken by those in charge, from the Nirvanian and Orion Chiefs above to the angels of the second resurrection here below, has been directed toward this one objective; namely, the time when the 13

spiritual and corporeal talents of humanity would be brought into balance to express their full potential as mature participants in this hierarchy of Light.

All the stirring passions and contradictions which whirl around you at an ever-quickening pace are actually the stirrings of a consciousness that has finally begun to break through the restraints of ignorance and limitation. These restraints have held humanity back from its rightful place as the wellspring of angelic souls. This era will be the culmination of our efforts as an angelic overshadowing which has overseen your development through countless centuries past. We have freed the bonds that have held you back and we have allowed you to take the first uncertain steps toward maturity. Your success is assured, for Jehovih's hand and will are at the root of these developments. Nothing has been left to chance.

Though the way seems weary, Though the day seems long, Walk now with the angels, Listen for their song.

Do not allow the dissonance of this Dawn to discourage you. Do not allow conflicting emotions to deter you. Do not allow the contradicting signals to confuse you. Keep your mind focused on your purpose of attuning 14

yourselves with the Ever Present and learning your part in the Creator's will for the world's ultimate unfoldment. See to your daily tasks and responsibilities with determination, and never waver from your keynote of Wisdom and Light. We, your angelic co-workers, are steadfast while holding our places with you now as we ever will be. Together we will make the difference in bringing a better world to fruition, by taking one determined step after another until the goal is reached.

POSITIVE AITITUDE (1998)

It does not so much matter what happens to us in life as what attitude we sustain toward the experiences that come to us. If we can keep poised and calm, and keep our faith in the Creator paramount above everything else, whatever happens to us will be a means of soul growth and spiritual development.

Wherever you are, we know that you are doing good. You are helping others in many ways that you do not realize. Every person who shares our objectives as part of a Concord of Creators has an important part to play in the awakening of humanity. Even the little things we do which may seem futile to us, are often of utmost importance to the Beings farther 15

advanced than we are.

It is a joy to feel your cooperation and to know that through you the Angel Hosts are pouring their blessings to all in our world.

DISSOLVING THE VEILS (1998)

We are sustaining your soul in an atmosphere of angelic radiance. We are uniting with the Angel Hosts to purify your aura and melt away the deep-seated causes of physical disturbance. There are many veils that cloud the beauty and health of the inner Self, and only as these are dissolved away by the concentrated love of the Angel Hosts can you express in your outer life the perfection of your soul. The radiance of Angelic Love now vibrates through you with mighty healing power. Through your unity with the Immortals you are making possible a great regeneration in your life, and though the immediate results may not be as miraculous as you might wish, the ultimate results are of enduring benefit.

You are unfolding the angelic qualities of your nature, and rejoicing in the process. There is no greater joy in the world. Your soul will unfold in beauty and radiance, and become as a sun in warmth of love to everyone 16

in your world.

As you so transform your life by the development of the

Creator in you, you change the vibrations of your physical nature and thus do away with physical limitations.

The Angel Hosts are with you every day creating mighty healing thoughts. The purifying power of the Creator pervades your body; realize this for only then can It manifest as health through all the cells and tissues!

Divine Love streams from the Angel Hosts through our souls to heal and strengthen you. The peace and serenity of the celestial life is permeating your souls and harmonizing all disturbing conditions.

WAITING (1998)

The genius of your soul is unique, and the Creator waits for your inherent capacity to become activated for co-creation.

The words "the Creator waits" holds a deeper meaning for us, linking its truth with the remembrance of how we "wait" for the seed to sprout and the blossom to develop; and glorifying the waiting that is so universal as to seem commonplace, but fundamental because it is so universal. 17

As we wait with calm expectation for the seeds to grow, so the Creator waits for the living seeds sown within our natures to grow. They cannot be forced. The Ever Present waits until the time for fruitage has come, and we must learn the lesson of waiting, too. It is not an easy lesson.

As we walked into the woods this beautiful winter day, where the snow lies deep, the air crisp and clear, and the sunshine vibrating in the stillness, the conviction enfolded us, this is a "waiting time". The bare trees were silent, the oaks faintly rustled, and through the pines murmured that most subtle of Nature's music, breathing a hush that was vibrant with life. There was no feeling of emptiness or death, but simply a serene waiting for the springtime flow of life.

Again, deeper in our hearts we realized, so the Creator waits. And so must we wait. We must be willing to wait. Most important of all, we must use the waiting period as the trees are using it, storing the vitality which they are silently drawing from earth, air and sun.

With the Creator, we must learn this great lesson of waiting, of being willing to wait, as the Ever Present shows us how, whenever we look with expectant mind into the universe.

LOVE (1998)

Love will level the mountains of hoarded wealth And build up the waste places of poverty, And make this world a paradise.

The constructive wisdom of Love Will plan and perfect a system of civilization Which will circulate our abundant productiveness For the benefit of all.

Love radiating from our personalities Is dissolving the fear and greed Which have caused stagnation To the free flowing activities of abundance.

Love is blessing prosperity through us And liberating our minds from greed and fear.

The expression of Love quickens our intuition And gives vitality to our constructive plans. Love opens the inner way for the expression Of Divine health. peace and prosperity. 19

Omnipotent Love presses in upon all our faculties, And acts through our nature to exalt and purify our minds. To the degree that we express Its merciful perfecting Intelligence.

AN AQUEDUCT OF SPIRITUAL WATER (1998)

There is an aqueduct of spiritual water flowing from the highest realms of heaven down through all the spheres to this planet earth. Those of us who desire to know of this power are required to keep our minds as pure as possible, free from selfish preoccupations and ambitions, always radiant with love for others. Thus we make manifest our realizations of the heavenly realms. It is almost impossible to realize how great and beautiful is the concentration of the Angel Hosts. It is an inspiration to us as we strive always to live to the highest that we know. We are glad that you continue in thought with us, and feel the heavenly unity that souls attuned to the same purpose feel, even though we are miles apart. Our blessings are with you in all your affairs. We affirm that the Creator's Glory shall fill your soul, and thrill you with new life and energy.

TAP THE POWER OF THE FOCUS (1998)

The cycles of light and darkness, empowerment and repose, energy and lethargy, work through all systems wherein life exists. During this decade when we are experiencing a swift rise in the vortex'yan tide, you will find these extremes accentuated in countless numbers of ways. Many people think that sudden increases in light invariably cancel the darkness, but in spirit this is not necessarily the case, for in sub-cycle dans the accentuation of the extremes is more likely to be the scenario.

The next few years will bring swift changes around the planet. We have prepared a way to help you flow with them and bring favorable conditions to as great a degree as we are able. Much, however, is left in your hands, the hands of the people of the earth, to resolve as best you can for the sake of your own growth and development. There will be hardships, but great advances as well, that will bring Kosmon closer to fruition.

Do not be complacent, but enlist the power of your focus to do all the good you can for the spiritual benefit and upliftment of others. Teach and counsel those who will listen, bringing them the degree of awareness that they are prepared to accept at this stage of their development. Hold to the basics at all costs, for without your focus, without your organic overshadowing, you are like chaff in the wind, being driven wherever the 21

breezes care to take you. Here, in this crescent, you have roots and a firm base upon which to grow, regardless of the tempests or prevailing forces around you.

A newborn child is the latest news from the Creator. It is a revelation that the Ever Present is still expressing the Divinity in living forms of Intelligence.

AFFIRMATIONS OF RADIANT POWER (1998)

With Hosts of Angels Ministering Love, We bless all souls with Power.

You are a blessing, Love is your Power.

I am a soul of mighty power; I am triumphant every hour.

The Creator's Will in you is strong; You are a joyous, radiant soul.

Joyous strength and healing power Vibrate through me every hour.

You are strong with Will Omnipotent; You are radiant with the Creator's love.

Angels powerful, Angels radiant, Fill my life with healing love.

I am blessed with Life Eternal; I am healed by Love Divine.

I am a temple of the Living Creator, Whose Mighty Spirit dwells within my soul.

Prospering Power Almighty Prospers all our ways Fills our lives with health and peace; Lightens all our days.

Soothing healing blessings Fill your soul with peace. Soothing healing blessings Bid all discord cease. 23

FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION (1998)

We give Thee our faith and all of our attention, O Creator. We charge the atmosphere about us with the awareness of Thy Presence. Thou art in control. Thou art inspiring us to do what is right for ourselves and for all who are within our sphere of influence. We desire not to rule over others, even animals, but to leave them free to express themselves, just as we want to be left free to express ourselves, giving them faith in Thy Presence. We see the need for training and discipline, of course, but we want to act under Thy Inspiration, and not as separate selves. We want to understand better Thy means and methods of discipline so that we will not act in anger or impatience, or with superior or critical feelings. We want to be kind, gentle and loving, living from Thee, acting in awareness of our oneness. We are conditioned, as mortals, to feel that we are possessors of things, and that we have rights in respect to them. We possess a home, furniture, appliances, our pets, and even feel that we own one another. We say. "My wife," "My husband," "My children," etc. For convenience, we use possessive pronouns, but we should not cultivate the feeling of ownership, for this is bondage and limitation. Human nature loves authority. The soul, however, feels but one authority and one owner, one leader and teacher. It is ruled by Thee, O Creator! It seeks the All-Highest Will, Wisdom and Love, and tries to make itself an instrument for good under Thy Supreme Authority. This is the way of 24

peace and happiness. We own nothing, control nothing. Thou art Owner and Ruler, Jehovih. Thou hast served us through the years, even when we ignored Thee. Thy Presence healed our bodies and inspired our good actions, though we knew it not, nor thought of thanking Thee. Now we would make up for our past errors and negligence by trying to give Thee ourselves completely. It will take time, for we are slow to change, but it will be accomplished; for we know it is Thy Will.

RESONATING WITH THE ANGELS (1998)

We keep listening to the tone emitted by the breath of humanity. Is it ready and capable of learning new notes? Is it cheerful? Is it groaning? We match our efforts to the tonal quality of souls in corpor. We teach what each person needs, and what is also the next step for humanity as a whole. This is exacting, precise work, but it is hardly noticeable to the recipients. It penetrates the barriers which separate individuals and, at the same time, it raises the level of harmony, the common thread that links us all.

We cannot impose a tone, much less a tune because it would be jarring and would produce dissonance instead of unity. We take our cues from 25

the tiny voice of the budding soul, and gently draw it forth.

You would find this work to be fascinating because it also involves the colors associated with the sounds. Multiple waves of various frequencies pulsate through the atmosphere during the course of a day and bring vitalizing, healing energy in a dose so well calibrated that it is easily.

Bit by bit, the realms of Light are becoming grounded with the souls of earth. We anticipate that your region will start to "hum" in a few years simply because of the incremental effects of the tonal vibrations. These sounds are not "lost" after they are transmitted; they are building rapidly in resonance and volume within all sentient beings. They are reorganizing the quality of your cells, helping you to receive the messages which will enable your soul to step forth in beauty and confidence. You are being transformed this very moment. Enjoy your season of Light! Sing along with the Creator at work within your soul!

THE PURPOSE (1998)

Yes, we need to identify ourselves with Thee, our Creator, to the extent that we feel we are truly one with Thy Purpose of world upliftment. Each one of us must be able to say with certainty: This is my purpose, the reason I live, the all-important object of my time, thought, energy and ambition. I will give time to relaxation, of course, but during waking hours I will try to sustain awareness every moment, so that while at work, or while resting, or while eating or reading, playing or being entertained, I will be attuned and functioning as Thy instrument. I must learn to live with a sense of purpose in the same way that a doctor, for example, in a busy hospital must live; or as anyone who has an important and valuable work to do might live. The Purpose must dominate everything else, and govern all my actions every moment of the day. It must become a personal thing to which I am wholly devoted, as a parent is devoted to the family, or an executive to a business, or a president to the affairs of state. Let the fire of Thy Purpose, Jehovih, burn me clean of every impurity, every form of darkness. It is the all-consuming interest and object of my life.

THE KINGDOM ON EARTH (1998)

The only purpose we hold, O Creator, is Thy Purpose. There is nothing in life for us but thy Presence and Thy Inspiration. In the past, we have turned away from Thee, tried to act on our own, shutting Thee out, and all that resulted was inharmony. Now we see the wisdom of living in awareness of Thy Presence and Power, and following Thy Light within us. We try to tell others, but they often will not listen. There is no easy way to awaken others, it seems, or to ease anyone's pathway through a cycle of darkness. The suffering of millions in the world is beyond description, as is the bondage in which they remain after passing on. People form organizations for the alleviation of suffering, and much good is done, as we see it, but the hardships of the world multiply. The psychic causes, inbred in inhumanity, have not yet been uncovered and eliminated. The methods of the world fail completely to bring peace, good health and brotherhood on earth. But the time will come when Thou shalt reveal the way through a few awakened souls; not with words, trying to convince, convert or educate, but with practice. Thou wilt set up an example of the way to establish Thy Kingdom on earth. This is our faith, to which we give all our energies and devotion.

REVELATIONS (1998)

Humanity can outgrow its limitations while in this world.

There is a definite science of regeneration or soul culture by which this can be done.

There is a scientific method by which the causes for disease, poverty and crime can be overcome.

The practice of this method will bring to humanity the inspiration and protection of the benevolent Immortals of heaven.

We are entering a New Age in which children will know more of divine love and express it more fully than the wise men of the past.

Unprogressive souls do not leave their earthly associations after death, but remain earthbound.

Earthbound souls hinder the intellectual and moral development of souls on earth.

Myriads of earthbound spirits must be lifted from the mental atmosphere 29

of the planet before humanity will outgrow its selfish propensities and express its divine nature.

The elders of the races of humanity are now returning from their exalted abodes as a vast angelic organization of Light.

The present purpose of the Immortals is to cleanse the lower spiritual worlds of earthbound spirits, to reveal spiritual principles and extend their protective power to all who will cooperate.

The Immortals have established Places of Radiance on earth.

As human beings cooperate with the Immortals to fulfill the Creator's purpose, they will establish a harmonious and prosperous social order which will be of a higher caliber and unlike anything we have known in the past.

TALK TO THY CREATOR (1998)

Only in Thee, O Creator, is there any real happiness. Apart from Thee, happiness is a delusion; and when props are taken away, happiness goes with them. It is the same with security. Thou art the Eternal Being. When we identity ourselves with Thee, defeat and death no longer exist for us. What seems to be failure is only a temporary setback which acts as an incentive for further growth. Thou wilt never take Thyself away from us, nor fail us when we turn to Thee in time of need. But we can separate ourselves from Thee in consciousness, and thereby cut off Thy inspiration and support. These are not new thoughts. They are older than time itself. But we have an urge and need to restate them, to impress them upon our consciousness and our world. The ideas are expressed from our having experienced their truth. Their validity has been proved in our own lives.

Thou, O Creator, art speaking in every soul. We would like to find the words which can awaken the awareness of Thy Presence in others. Words are a limited tool. Thou hast so created humanity that they learn the big lessons only by experience. People's thoughts and words have a greater effect upon their own nature than anywhere else.

SUPPORT AND PROTECTION (1998)

We, your guardian hosts, are the ones who protect you. This is not always an easy task. We can do much more for you when you are living in a clean, calm environment. When you are positive, healthy and connected with those of like mind, we can be more thorough in our efforts. When these conditions are absent, you create barriers to our help. Actions for self-interest attract lower plane influences. The more sensitive you are, the greater the need for maintaining a "healthy" life style. The more you expand your spiritual work while in this world, the greater care you must take. Making wise choices is vital.

Even those with long experience can fall prey to a selfish act which will lead to upset or ruin. Oahspe gives us many such stories. Be aware, ask questions often of yourselves, those you work with, and your sources of inspiration or guidance. With practice comes the wisdom to recognize what is of self and what is from a higher source.

We support all efforts to build in the Light. The degree to which we can help is directly correlated to the level of your attunement. Look at the conditions in which you live, inside and out, and see where you stand. Above all, put self aside, truly aside, and listen to the Creator for your Highest Inspiration. 32

LOVE IS THE CURE (1998)

I Am Infinite Intelligence. In My Presence you live, move, and have your being. You shall know Me by expressing Me. I Am Love. I will reveal the wisdom of Love, as you consecrate and attune your lives to the expression of Love. All the riches of Love and all the resources of wisdom touch your inner intelligence now. Open your minds to Me, and express My Love in all your ways. Your lives shall be transformed by the renewal of your minds from My Inspiration which is now within your souls.

Lift your minds from the destructive states of fear, doubt, hatred and greed by pouring yourselves out in blessings of love. Meditate daily with Me and pour My Love through your souls by blessing your friends, your foes, and the peoples of every nation. Bless My Intelligence that slumbers in human bodies. Affirm and sing mighty blessings of love until you are all radiant with the harmony that you create from within your souls. Create a spiritual atmosphere of love and harmony so that My Angels of Love may enter into your lives, and begin their work of lifting the heavy mentality that hides the light of your souls. From this daily practice of expressing Love as a divine dynamic, you will create spiritual conditions which will attune your lives with the Angel Hosts, and open avenues through which they will pour mighty blessings of healing power. 33

You need not supplicate Me for wisdom and love. I know your need before you ask. I wait patiently for you to use the intelligence and love which you now possess that I may flow through this expression and enlarge your capacity to receive. I am always present with you to give you vastly more than you can conceive possible.

Organize community centers and put to work all who dedicate themselves to the creation of a more loving social order. Create solutions for the exchange of labor and the necessities of life. Use the means available to organize cooperative activities which will alleviate all forms of distress. Give everybody something to do. See that all receive physical and spiritual food.

The greed that stifles the flow of wealth cannot be allowed to continue. New values must be created. Create new wealth, and exchange it without personal profit, that greed may not be paramount in the new social order. As everyone enters into these spiritual and physical activities with enthusiasm, a mighty cooperative spirit will be aroused, which will transform the lives of all those working together for the good of the community.

Through this loving social spirit I will reveal My Wisdom and Power. Joyous activities will uncover a spiritual source of health that will dissolve 34

the selfishness which has been the spiritual cause for many physical diseases and conditions. The contagion of helpfulness will spread until the multitude wishes to learn to live together in peace and goodwill. People will forget to live for selfish gratification because of their interest in working to create a happier social life for all. My Presence of Love will become the Inspiration for all human activities, and My Intelligence, expressing through human minds, will make of earth a paradise.

A NEW ORDER ON EARTH (1998)

If we want to help those around us, we will keep ourselves attuned and aware, O Creator, to Thy Presence and Purpose. Our attunement creates an atmosphere in which Thy Angels can work to inspire others. If we preach to others, this will create another kind of atmosphere where conditions for upliftment are not as favorable. It is our goal to be attuned and aware of Thee one hundred percent of the time in everything we do, not letting any circumstances in our environment interfere.

We would like to be able to talk with people about spiritual things, and in other ways make our work more objective, for there is more personal satisfaction in so doing. Those who hold a loving attitude are able to do 35

this, for they speak comfortingly and do not disturb the existing conditions so that opposition to change is aroused. But change of humanity's present beliefs and conditions are necessary for growth. In order to create a new order on earth, we must begin to lose self, to see the falsity in the present order, to see the ignorance and darkness of worldly conditions, and will to rise above them. We must recognize how preoccupation with self separates us from the Creator in awareness, and from our sense of oneness with humanity. War, crime, poverty and disease are the products of humanity's lack of spiritual attunement. Who can say that it does not need to change?

THE CHALLENGE OF GROWTH (1998)

In climbing the highest mountains, exploring the polar regions, searching into space and under the oceans, people have given their lives. In standing for what they believed to be right, people have given their lives for spiritual reasons as well. These are examples of consecration which inspire us, O Creator. We, too, are engaged in a great and challenging task, the conquering of self, and we need the same kind of courage and determination. The awakening, uplifting and freeing of the soul of humanity is Thy 36

Purpose in this age; and Thy Hosts have come close to earth to inspire and strengthen mortals, and otherwise help in unseen ways. But, the path of mortals is not made easy thereby. The work they must do for their own development Is not done for themselves alone. No savior is going to redeem them. They must redeem themselves; that is, they must free their souls from the darkness which has made them suffer, and produced turmoil on earth instead of a kingdom of heaven. We are repeating back to Thee, O Jehovih, what Thou art impressing upon our souls. Thou art giving us a sense of the value and importance of what we are doing, and we are inspired by the admirable achievements of others. Thank Thee for enlightening us with new realizations every day.

BUILDING FOR BENEVOLENCE (1998)

At times we are so much aware of ourselves that it is very difficult to be aware of the Creator's Presence. The only way it can be done is by identifying ourselves with the Creator, realizing there is no separation. Most people agree with the proposition or supposition that God is present with humanity. But can the individual believe that their being is part of God's Being, and that therefore one is an agent of God's love? We 37

believe we are, but how well do we practice our belief? That is what we most need to do: practice, practice, practice, until we are more perfect. We may affirm that we are already perfect, but it is true only of the essence of our being. Affirming it helps to bring it out into expression in our work-a-day lives.

As you go about your daily lives, if you have found a place of peace in this warring world, you are a most fortunate person. You are exceptional. You can be used by the Creator and the Angel Hosts in the great work of world transformation. All you have to do is pray to be used. Affirm your desire to be an agent of the Creator's light and love; and be persistent in your purpose. Take time every day to put your mind in attunement with the All Highest. Let your soul be in control of your thoughts as you go about your daily routine. You are not alone in this work. The highest powers of the universe are behind your effort to contribute to the upliftment of mankind and the building of a new order of benevolence.

AWAKEN DIVINE SOULS (1998)

More are hardships to be desired than ease and luxury. This is a statement from Oahspe which is most provocative, so difficult for mortals to accept that they who utter it are deemed fools. How many thousands of years of experience in darkness, a Creator, hast Thou given humanity to bring it to the present stage of its growth? In this age, we have the capacity to awaken as divine souls, for understanding Thy Presence and Power, and becoming co-creators with Thee in building a heaven on earth. Humanity does not yet understand the magnificence and glory of its destiny, compared to which the experience of darkness, however painful, is as nothing. But a few are beginning to understand their oneness with Thee, and are consciously trying to work with Thee for soul upliftment. It is in this awareness, and in losing the lesser self, that people find peace, love and joy of living, and escape from the ageold miseries of their corporeal nature. Neither science nor philosophies nor religions will do it. The Light of the present era will infiltrate our nature, our souls will come alive, and we will begin to practice love and good works from the inspiration of Thy Presence within us, O Jehovih, and Thy Kingdom will be established on earth.

THE WISDOM OF EXPERIENCE (1998)

Thou, O Ever-Present Creator, art our inspiration. Thy Light inspires us to live to our highest Light, and to put aside the darkness of the lesser self. When we are inclined toward irritability or anger, it helps us to be patient, understanding and kind. If we are inclined toward laziness, it inspires us to work. Whenever we are inclined to indulge ourselves in ways of weakness and bondage, it inspires us to selfdiscipline. We do not go around hurting and hating people, but under certain conditions, we are capable of it. If Thou were to leave us uninspired and unprotected, we would go down in darkness; for that is our weakness at this stage of development. We see how easily darkness overtakes us when we turn from Thee, ignoring Thy Voice. Even when we are trying to follow Thy Light, the darkness of this mortal state tries to interfere, and subject us to its rule. We are determined that Thou alone shalt be our Ruler; and that we shall learn to live completely from Thy inspiration. No matter how many setbacks we have, we will not be discouraged. The difficulties make us more determined. Wisdom develops out of our hard experiences. Praise and thanks to Thee, O Creator! We see the wisdom of Thy Plan for the development of souls. We go along with Thee wholeheartedly.

CONSTRUCTIVE AFFIRMATIONS (1998)

years of productive endeavors ahead, both on your earthly plane and on our Plateau of the Blossoming Presence.

FAMILY SERVICE (1998)

Those who choose to affiliate their efforts with the Angel Hosts and become active participants with the organic realms of spirit, need to follow a basic discipline that has remained unchanged since the dawn of time. While there have been additional points of emphasis from time to time, the foundation remains the same. First, one must seek personal purity of body, mind and spirit. Second, one must affiliate with others in harmony and unity of purpose to accomplish whatever objectives they hold in common that is in accordance with their inspiration from the I AM. Third, they must do all the good they can to help others as part of this organic cooperative effort. In this way only can any individual or group be administered to by the organic realm of spirit.

For individuals living in isolation from an organic association, following the same basic requirements of attunement to their Creator and purity in service to others will allow them to be assisted most favorably by their ashars or guardian angels. Though they may be precluded from the additional lines of light that an organic angelic overshadowing provides, they can still be of service in a way that is no less significant, no less important in the eyes of their Creator for the benefit of their ultimate resurrection.

As individuals, they must pursue the same personal goals

for purity in body, mind and spirit, and in the same way seek to do all they 42

can to render helpful service to those in need in their world, in accordance with their abilities and opportunities.

In both cases, whether acting individually or with a group, they should be mindful of the fact that if they are blessed in marriage with a family to care for, it behooves them to fulfill their responsibilities in this regard. They must realize that the family is similar to the communities of heaven, a small nucleus that is under their personal care. Thus, it is our first opportunity as mortals to learn the principles of caring for the needs of the larger family in the context of the greater community. In your haste to serve the greater, do not overlook the lesser.

Service to the immediate family that has been placed under your care by the Great Spirit demands every ounce of effort on your part to raise your family in the best way, seeing to their physical and spiritual needs to the best of your ability so that they will be strong in the light, strong in body and capable of caring for themselves and others without increasing the burden upon society as a whole.

See to it that you instill in your children the qualities that will make them resourceful and empowered to accomplish more than that which is just required for their own needs. These are the ones who will move the world forward into a new age of enlightenment.

While giving all that you can in wisdom and energy to see that your family is provided with wholesome growth and development, do not be seclusive, but go where you can extend your love and attention to others less fortunate, do so, and only you can be the judge of your limits. Personal responsibility, familial responsibility, community responsibility: this is the progression of our personal growth in our spiritual capacity for service. Thus, we are to grow to become angels in fact. Our training begins in childhood, though we have little awareness of the fact.

Even

when we have reached the higher realms, we have no inclination to allow this learning process to cease. We know that the goal is never reached, though the rewards of greater effort continue to give us an ever greater capacity to serve with an ever greater capacity to love.

OUR ATTUNEMENT WITH THEE (1998)

Thou art our strength, O Creator, our inspiration and joy of living! Without Thee. we do not have anything at all. We give thanks for Thy Breath that breathes us. Thy Intelligence that moves us and Thy Love that sustains and protects us. Thou art the Will and Power by which we live. The most important thing we do is cultivating the awareness of Thy Presence. As we do this. we open the channels for further inspiration we need to carry 44

out Thy Purpose. Darkness is lifted and kept away through the cooperation of Thy angels. Every soul in our world is touched with awakening fire. Our imaginations cannot exceed the possibilities of what can be accomplished through mortals who are attuned and aware. We want to discipline and purify ourselves to the highest possible degree. O Creator, not for personal reasons, but that we may play our part successfully in the upliftment and regeneration of humanity. We see what we must do. and know that we can do it by sustaining our attunement with Thy Presence every waking moment.

These are heavenly qualities. These are of the Eternal I AM. The tendency to be concerned with world affairs, and the personal affairs of our relatives and friends in the world, is strong. But we see that it is not within our power to change anything or anybody. Even if we could make life easier for everyone we wished to help, would that be doing Thy Will? In Thy Plan, we are left free to make mistakes, and to profit from our hard experiences. Thy Angels watch over us, but remain undisturbed and full of faith, praising Thy Presence, and speaking words of counsel silently to our souls. We must learn to do the same for those about whom we are concerned. Praise and thanks be to Thee, Jehovih! Thy Will, Wisdom and Love are gaining in expression through us. This is all we really want in life.

POSITIVE ATTITUDE (1998)

It does not so much matter what happens to us in life as what attitude we sustain toward the experiences that come to us.

If we can keep poised

and calm, and keep our faith in the Creator paramount above everything else, whatever happens to us will be a means of soul growth and spiritual development.

Wherever you are, we know that you are doing good. others in many ways that you do not realize.

You are helping

Every person who shares

our objectives as part of a Concord of Creators has an important part to play in the awakening of humanity.

Even the little things we do which

may seem futile to us, are often of utmost importance to the beings farther advanced than we are.

PREPARE NOW FOR THE DAWN (1998)

Rest assured that change is in the air. We are prepared to work with you as you become one of our helpers. Despite all the encumbrances the world seems to be heaping on you, you are 46

ready and able to do more with the spiritual work.

We have always told you how to ride the crest of this great wave which is sweeping down upon the little red star. You must work hard to maintain your balance. That is a simple fact. You must also work hard to develop, and then maintain, well-established lines of light with the higher planes. This takes dedication, consistency and attunement. You must clear the air in every sense to be able to accomplish this, both on the physical and the spiritual planes.

There is a chaos within the different realms, stirred into action by the growing light of the ever-so-fast approaching dawn. Take the time to think of your part. Whether living alone and associating with others at a distance, or working and living together with others, now is the time to trust the light. Now is the time to pull together all your resources and all your faith to make your efforts consistent. The time is now to step up your efforts and prepare for a greater light. Soon, great beings of long experience shall traverse and circumscribe this little star and read the story of every soul. They come to lift and awaken the soul of mankind. You will be there to show what progress this little world has made. You will be a model of change and will demonstrate the promise of the enormous force of energy moving the world into a new spiritual realm along the solar phalanx. The pressure is to be expected. For you, there is 47

greater light; cleanse your spirits, minds and bodies so that this light will embrace you and lift you up. We embrace you, too, with our love. Feel the love and light from us. Have faith and courage to meet the new dawn. We are one.

INSTRUMENTS OF LIGHT (1998)

When we are feeling "down", we know that there is a bright side to things, and that life is not as bad as it seems; yet, we cannot break free from the grip of dark feelings at all times. This can be a problem for us, and we ought to be able to find an answer. We do have control over our thoughts, by virtue of Thy Presence in us, O Creator. Our faith is with Thee and Thy Power. If we think of another who needs help, praise the good in that person while giving our faith and love, and affirm Thy Presence with all, it is bound to bring good results. No matter what the condition of our personal affairs or bodily health, we must not forget that we are Thy Instruments of Light, and that Thou art backing us all the way. Thou art the most important fact and the most powerful force in our lives. Nothing defeats Thee. When we identify ourselves with Thee, nothing defeats us. Every day we give praise to Thee. We give thanks to Thee for the good that is manifesting for us and through us. For there is a tremendous 48

amount of it! We will not let the psychic world blind us to the goodness and beauty of life, and to our good for- tune in being Thy servant.

THE RIGHT KEYNOTE (1998)

Would we be less selfish, less egotistic, and freer from the darkness of our corporeal natures? The ability to feel compassion for others, the faculties of love and faith and charity, have been neglected in our world. We seem to want to advise, teach and preach more than we want to practice good works, or be kind, gentle and devoted to the welfare of others. We tend to want to use our wills to force others in our world to our way of thinking. Humanity is made up of millions of separate dictators, and separate philosophers, all different in their ideas. What is the right keynote, O Creator, which will make us one? It is attunement with Thy 49

Will, Wisdom and Love, possibly only through self-abnegation. It is seeing ourselves as we really are, little children in Thy sight. It is through humanity, and bringing forth the star of Divinity that is within. It is acknowledging Thy All-ness, and Thy Omnipotence.

CONSCIOUS LIVING (1998)

It is important to have balance in your life, and this is the time to ground yourself so you can ease into changes, instead of crashing or going too fast.

All that is required to succeed is the emphatic Too often, when we are immersed in the striving

required by corporeal commitments, we permit ourselves to be drawn along by the vents that surround us until we are caught in a maelstrom of our own creation.

When we allow ourselves to be driven into a

dependent state in which we merely react to events that are imposed upon us by our environment, instead of being proactive in shaping events as they unfold, we are reduced to a state of survival in which there is little room to let our higher light shine.

At times, each of us has slipped into such a dependent state when, through our fatigue or inattentiveness, we allow ourselves to lose our resourcefulness.

As soon as we catch ourselves losing our dominion over the conditions that surround us, we can immediately call upon the basic strategy of affirmations.

We affirm attunement with Jehovih to center our minds and

We affirm our

Angelic Hosts of glory Are concentrating near To help all souls aspiring Fulfill Love's duty here. O Creator, Thou mighty Captain of Angel Hosts strong. We give our life's devotion To help Thee right all wrong. Our spirits now are blending In joyous unity to give our love and power, And strength of will to Thee.

THE THINNING OF THE VEIL (1998)

O that we, mortals and spirits, could learn to praise Thee, O Creator! O that we could put into new words every day our feelings of awareness, our appreciation of the good that is ours, and our thankfulness to be alive. This is the way of upliftment. Yet we often allow our minds to dwell on trivial things. The weight of the world's darkness is ever present, but when we make an effort to rise above it, help is given. We do not want to make excuses for our shortcomings. We believe the Power is at hand which ensures our success if we persist. The barrier in our natures which once seemed so impenetrable is now beginning to fade. We can cross over it at 54

will, for we are finding the proper footing. We surrender our fears, our cravings, our hostilities, and all the negative propensities. We give Thee our whole selves, in faith, devotion and gladness, becoming like little children, trusting Thee in all things, and obedient to Thy Will. For Thou art the All One Who created us, created this world, this training ground for our immortal souls. We are Thine, and Thine only. We will not be influenced by darkness, but by Thee only, now and forever.

BRINGING GOLD TO LIGHT (1998)

You are sitting on a gold mine, only it is not developed yet. You must realize that the only way to dynamic, vibrant personal growth is through personal incentive and action.

If you do not sit to write, no writing occurs.

If you simply wander through your day, its purpose is missing. This is just the beginning, for you know that real development only takes place through practice and honest assessment.

The wise learn through their mistakes or omissions. The clever ones come up with new approaches. The clear-headed draw on inspiration, and the studious develop consistent routines. All these personal qualities are needed to sustain a steady unfolding.

Even when things seem dim, plans can be made for positive change, and your soul registers their possibilities.

This is like writing a cheerful note,

or promise, to yourself and tucking it away for future reference. We are made to grow, as we are reminded by our very own corporeal temples, which shed old cells and create new ones each day.

Change is a whole-being event, and we literally are not the same as we were a year or two ago. When we intensify the process by seeking out ways to develop, the effects are truly transformational. The gold will start to gleam as we progress from sleeping mortal to angel-in-the works.

GEM OF DIVINITY (1998)

As long as there are people in the world who practice love and helpfulness toward one another, there is hope for a better world. It is not the leaders in politics, in science, in warfare, in industry, in education, or 57

in any other branch of society, who will build a new order free of poverty, crime and disease. It is among humble and unrenowned people practicing peace, kindliness and compassion where instruments will be found for this purpose. Their benevolent feelings tune them with Thee, O Creator, and attract the help of Thy mighty angels. However, we admire leaders in any field for the genius they represent. Surely, many have humanitarian feelings in their hearts, thanks to Thee. We recognize and praise Thy Presence in them. Every experience of the individual contributes something to soul growth. In time, Thou turnest all things to Thy ends. The pains and misfortunes of humanity are the means by which Thou art leading us out of darkness and bondage. There is a gem of divinity within everyone, which is the true self. We look beyond the surface personality, and keep our faith with the light of Thy Presence. Nowhere do we need to practice such faith more than with close associates who present to us the lesser side of their natures. Here is where we begin to develop the qualities which will make us into effective instruments of Thy Will, Wisdom, and Love, serving all humanity.

FIND YOUR UNIQUE PATH (1998)

The path is yours, yours alone. No one can disrupt you from your fine destiny. No one can take your path from you. The Creator has carved out a unique adventure for you, one which will engross you for centuries. This is truth: you will find yourself as a soul if you follow your own path, not what "works" for another, or what may be prescribed in a generalized book.

You must begin to question yourself to discover if you are being true to your inner light. Trust yourself; your intuitive voice will guide you. Although you may try on someone else's successful methods or approaches "for size", you will begin to recognize, more and more, what is really you, and what is simply imitation. We recommend that you answer the question, "Who am I in the Creator's sight?" with a full heart, and with the sure knowledge that you are going to grow. Ask yourself this periodically, and each time use your answer as a milestone on your personal path. Be at peace. Your journey has begun.

PACT WITH THE CREATOR (1998)

It comes to this, O Creator, that to find answers to problems, to find the all-highest wisdom by which to live, each one of us must make a compact with Thee within ourselves, internally and without fanfare, a pact of oneness, of self-discipline, and highest purpose. We learn to talk with Thee, to praise Thee, to see the good in all things, to rejoice and be thankful; and never to complain, or be critical of life or of others; or to shirk responsibility; or to seek pleasure, wealth, power or prestige for self alone. This is a matter between the individual and Thee, Jehovih, and no other can know the degree of consecration, or how great the success or failure.

Happiness, then, is a matter of being true to Thee within one's self. Becoming one of Thy instruments for the founding of Thy Kingdom on earth is a matter of holding to one's inner covenant, day in and day out, over a period of years, until the self is sufficiently cleansed away. World problems will be on the way to solution when enough attuned instruments have come together as a unit to build with Thee outwardly. Then Thy Purpose will manifest through them to demonstrate Thy way of peace, health and prosperity for all the world to see.

THOMAS PAINE (1998)

Thomas Paine was not concerned about his public image or about his own salvation. He was not ambitious for status, for wealth, or for power. He deliberately turned away from offers which would have promoted his own well being. He suffered deprivation and frustration all his life, but held to his convictions. In his soul, he was concerned with the welfare of humanity, and with the spiritual principles which, when practiced, could lift souls out of their hells, and in this he was graded high by his angel mentors. He was successful in the work for which he was raised; and today he is one with Thy Angel Hosts, enjoying the benefits of affiliation with souls of like quality and aspiration, and reaping the rewards of his earthly labor. How poor is our judgment, O Creator! How many of us, if we had known the man, Paine, personally, would have believed he was an instrument in the hand of the Angels, prepared by them to work for the upliftment of humanity? Would we have given him our faith, love and respect, seen Thy Presence in him, and helped him in every possible way? It behooves us to search deeply beneath the facade of the outer personality before we pass judgment on any person.

REALIZE THE GREATNESS (1998)

Are we capable, O

Creator, of a full realization of the glory being brought to earth through thousands of mortals cooperating with Thy Angel Hosts?

It is a

wonderful thing that we are part of Jehovihâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Being, and can draw upon unlimited energy for doing the work we are here to do.

As we go about

our daily activities, we ought to remind ourselves often that we are important instruments for bringing the Higher Light into the mortal world. Any moment of the day that we wish to be used in the work of the Angels, we can be used.

All it takes is for us to turn our thoughts in that direction.

Affirm that it is so, and it will be so.

The angels take advantage of our

every good thought for using us in service to Jehovih.

GROWTH AND EXPERIENCE (1998)

We try to accept all things Thou may put upon us, O Creator, joyfully, thankfully and lovingly. We are becoming so conscious of Thy Presence and Power In us, and so aware of our potentialities as souls, that the little things which formerly bothered us no longer have that effect. We are learning to let go of material things, holding no desire that they be thusand-so, for they are Thine. We are more aware that we are living in eternity, and that the corporeal world is ephemeral and illusory. This that we are is real; all else is perishable. The being whom we are is of Thy Being. Supreme in importance is growth toward Thee; namely, the cultivation of awareness, attunement and oneness with Thee. Through soul awareness, we can

remain calm under trying conditions, and can

express more of the angelic qualities and attitudes. Thou art moving us in the right direction, inspiring us to do the things necessary to the fulfillment of Thy Purpose. We strive to do everything with gladness, with tenderness and kindliness toward all. Of all pleasures we have found, being gentle, loving and helpful are the greatest. These are heavenly qualities. These are of the Eternal I AM. The tendency to be concerned with world affairs, and the personal affairs of our relatives and friends in the world, is strong. But we see that it is not within our power to change anything or anybody. Even if we could make life easier for everyone we wished to help, would that be doing Thy Will? In Thy Plan, we are left free 63

to make mistakes, and to profit from our hard experiences. Thy Angels watch over us, but remain undisturbed and full of faith, praising Thy Presence, and speaking words of counsel silently to our souls. We must learn to do the same for those about whom we are concerned. Praise and thanks be to Thee, Jehovih! Thy Will, Wisdom and Love are gaining in expression through us. This is all we really want in life.

The Divine Urge within us has compelled us to outgrow somewhat our limitations.

We have gained soul power.

We have become radiant,

dynamic, strong.

But we were not always so.

We were unhappy.

We sought until we found the way out of weakness

into strength; out of misery into happiness; out of slavery into mastery.

LOVING AND KIND (1999)

Each day, O Creator, is a new adventure. We never know what it will bring into our lives. We know only that we must see good in everything and not let anything get us down. We know that we must be loving and 66

kind to one another; and this is sometimes our biggest challenge. For we all make ourselves disagreeable at times; and we do things of which others do not approve. It is necessary for each of us to overlook others' faults, and try hard to correct our own. When we are irritable, or in any way unfriendly or disagreeable, we become easy tools for darkness. In order to keep ourselves harmonious and attuned, we must hold to the one keynote of Thy Presence and Rulership, forgetting self. We do not have to be always either liking or disliking things or people. We can be neutral about a lot of things and thus keep ourselves from becoming angry and out of attunement. It is a conceit of the self that we have to have an opinion about everything. Our own opinions produce a great deal of irritation. Judgment from the soul level is a different thing. The latter does not produce friction, for it has nothing to do with the ego. We are trying to develop better discrimination from Thy Wisdom in us, O Jehovih!

SOULS VICTORIOUS (1999)

In affirming Thy Presence, O Creator, we are not trying to make something happen, but are trying to keep ourselves aware of what is happening? In answering our critics, we do not want to explain or defend ourselves, or talk about ourselves for any reason, though we may do so at 67

times. It is not our purpose to be examples for others of superior soul expression, but to help awaken others to Thy Presence in themselves, to help them see how they can conquer their fears, and become happier, healthier human beings; doing this not for the sake of the self-side of persons, but for Thy sake, O Creator, and for the betterment of humanity as a whole.

As long as we think about ourselves, talk about ourselves, and plan for ourselves, we are not striking the right keynote. Our effort must be to constantly think and talk about Thee, our Creator, to build up our awareness so that we are able to see Thy Presence in all people and all things, being willing to accept whatever comes our way and make the best of it. We affirm for everyone that Thou art with them, speaking in their souls; that Thou art victorious in them now and forever.

A NEW CONSCIOUSNESS (1999)

Praise and thanks be to Thee, O Creator! We rejoice in Thy Presence in us. We give our faith and devotion to Thy Presence in every soul. We know Thou art present every moment, that Thou art the All-Doer in and through us. Yet, we need to make an effort to express Thee, to help 68

conquer the darkness of the world. We need to exercise our talents and faculties. Dark thoughts and feelings rise up in us and we must bring our will, thought and feeling to bear in order to counteract or dispel the darkness. There are no two people alike, and we will each work somewhat differently, but the purpose is the same: to help lift the darkness of the world. Sometimes we use words; sometimes no words, but motion or action; sometimes both; and sometimes neither words nor motion, but stillness. All this is to help purify us spiritually and develop a new consciousness, the awareness of Thy Presence and Rulership. We are serving one another physically as well, helping one another in every needful way. This is part of Thy work, too, in which we find development of our natural abilities for creating and serving, that help make our world better. Thou art the true Doer, accomplishing through us, O Creator. All praise to Thee.

A GREAT JOY! (1999)

Is it not a great joy to realize that, even in a little way, we are beginning to overcome the things that have troubled us for years? It is only by persistent effort that we do conquer, but that conquering through effort is glorious! Every step of the way we must win by our own effort. Our souls 69

are like roses that unfold petal by petal, and with each petal's unfolding, with each conquering, many Angels come to strengthen our efforts and sustain our lives.

These are great days to be alive! We feel that we are moving to the strains of a mighty celestial march. There is no holding back; on we go, and those who can get into step with the Immortals feel victory throbbing through their veins.

IN SERVICE (1999)

We cannot tell people, O Creator, what Thy Angel Hosts are trying or planning to do, but we can tell them what we are trying to do. Would it not be right to say that we are trying to learn how to love our fellow souls rather than hate them, to praise rather than criticize them, to uplift rather than forever competing, and to replace our fears with faith? In the matter of worship, why can we not say, "We worship the Creator of all, and try to serve the All One in our daily lives." We feel in our efforts that we are contributing something worthwhile to all humanity. We can say, perhaps, that we are not ambitious to be recognized, to make any great impact on the world, 70

or to get anything from the world but the necessities of life; and that the success of our efforts depends more upon privacy than publicity. It is undercover work, is it not? It is like a secret service! To tell the world all about it would be to invite opposition. Only Thou knowest, O Creator! We feel we have Thee on our side, for we are on Thy side. Praise and thanks be to Thee for the work Thou hast given us.

The joy of living the eternal life now! The joy of expressing one's inmost feelings in blessings to the world! The happiness that comes in knowing that you are striving daily to make all your thoughts and actions measure up to the Divine Purpose which inspires your being every moment! This is real living! This is the living we want to inspire in you and others. This is the most worthy endeavor.
