LESSON NUMBER 20 STUDENTS DEEPER QUESTIONS ANSWERED

It is deeply gratifying to us that more and more students are finding that the answers to all situations in which they find themselves are within themselves. When you realize that going outside of your Consciousness in the direction of your senses, or the senses of any other person to whom you may appeal, is the surest way to defeat your purpose and complex your problem, you will ultimately learn the wisdom of seeking the answers to all questions within yourself. That is what we mean by asking God for a solution.

Always develop the habit of thinking TOWARD the SOURCE of knowledge–not AWAY from it. If you want more water you do not pump it from the little pools which have been pumped from the well.

You seek the unlimited supply and pump it from its source.

It might help you to develop this habit of inner thinking if you will visualize the seat of your Consciousness as that still magnetic Light which centers its two polarized extensions in the two lobes of your brain.

Often when I think of God’s words in The Divine Iliad Message which say “See Me, know Me, be Me, be thou fulcrum of thine own power”, I think of that Light of Universal Consciousness which is in the center of my head and it makes me stop thinking and realize that all the knowledge there is in the whole universe is there in that measureless point of stillness in the center of my head.

Then I also realize that all the power that is in the whole universe is in that still fulcrum from which the divided wave lever of my thinking extends.

An overwhelming realization of my universality and Oneness with God brings with it timeless answers to desired questions. That is the greatest way I know to make you forget your body and to realize God existence at a still point within yourself which you can locate as YOUR Being, and GOD’S Being.

How often have I completely lost my body and found my Soul that way. How wonderful it will be for you when you can likewise think of the Light of all-knowing as centered in YOU–YOU ALONE, for in you is all that is when you KNOW the Light that way.

The diagram numbered 15 on page 171 will help you to visualize yourself as The Universal Being from which all things extend. Your own thoughts are extensions of your Consciousness, so, likewise, are all other people’s thoughts. Think, therefore, within your own thoughts for the Light of all-knowing to extend outward to your own thoughts after you get something to extend, but not before.

If the answer is not in your thoughts, you cannot get it from them. Go, therefore, to the Source of thought with full confidence and realization that you will have your answer, just as you go to the well for more water and not to the various little cups and dishes which have a limited supply in them when you are seeking an abundant flow of living waters from their unlimited source in the well.

You do not inspire increasing respect in your neighbor when you betray your weakness to him by asking him what you yourself KNOW–but are not aware of.

Your creation is already falling to pieces the very instant that you are no longer creator of it. If you are working in the Light of your all-knowing you are working with God. Go TO him, not AWAY from Him as you would go to the well if you want water and not away from it.

That is why I say never ask outside of yourself for a solution which is within yourself. If you ask one friend you compromise once, and you will recover if you turn back to God. But if you ask ten friends you have hopelessly compromised your creation by ten thousand times ten and it never will be nor can ever be that concept which you started with God to extend from the Light.

The following question was asked by one student who has actually formed the habit of first looking within his own Consciousness. In the letter which contained his question he says–“by continually practicing to look inward I expect little by little to form the habit of living on my mountain top to such an extent that I will find my real Self and live in this constant peace which passeth all understanding.” Here is his question.

QUESTION. “Last week I was meditating over a problem which had continued to remain unsolved for some time. The thought that “I KNEW” entered my thinking and almost simultaneously the answer followed. The unexpected suddenness of the answer caused me to experience such great inspiration that I am wondering if I did not have a partial illumination?”

ANSWER. Every time an answer comes that way–through the Light–you have been illumined to that extent. A full illumination is to have all knowledge given to you through the Light all at once. Cosmic man is unfolding a little at a time by many illuminations–and the number of that many every man may set for himself.

QUESTION. “The Bible speaks of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, or Holy Spirit. Would that be the MOTHER part of the Father-Mother God you speak of?”

ANSWER. Early mystics who were well illumined, knew of God’s creative process of dividing the undivided. Jesus fully knew it. His teachings, and Buddha’s, and others, as well as the illumined mystic who wrote The Bhagavad-Gita, fully indicate that they had cosmic this knowledge. You must realize, however, that they could not impart their knowledge to their Barbarian and pagan peoples who were not ready to receive it.

Jesus and all other mystics knew what love meant and tried also to impart that knowledge to mankind which still belonged to the brute period. The pagan world was no more able to comprehend the meaning of The Divine Trinity than it was able to comprehend the love principle of giving for regiving.

The human race had not progressed sufficiently far to even comprehend the love principle–and still is unable to comprehend it except for the cosmic few who are far advanced in their unfolding beyond the masses who are still ignorant, selfish Barbarians because their desire for taking is still dominant in them.

And so it was that the teachings of the mystics about The Divine Trinity of the undivided ONE and the divided TWO of Creation became a meaningless and unexplainable metaphysical abstraction because of the garbled beliefs and misunderstandings of past ages of ignorant, superstitious miracle loving primates.

One Barbarian misinterpretation of it stated that if an offender against God appeased God’s anger against him by sufficient bloodshed or other sacrificial rites God would descend as The Holy Ghost in the body of a dove which would sit upon the shoulder of the penitent one. Such beliefs persisted during and long after the time of Jesus.

You cannot in any way compare these abstract misconceptions with the scientific fact of what God really meant by teaching His creative principle to His illumined messengers. Nor can you fit the words of pagan conceptions into words of dynamic meaning for this electric age of greater comprehension of the relation of God to matter and motion.

QUESTION. “God said-this is My only begotten Son, in whom I am well pleased. I believe I realize the correct answer but I would appreciate your explanation.”

ANSWER. The same answer, in general, applies to this as to your other question, answered above. Lack of ability of primitive peoples to comprehend caused words to be used in making that statement which fitted within the structure of their misconceptions.

These misconceptions still exist, for miracle loving believers in supernatural phenomena still exist among us.

The scientific meaning of the statement you quote is that Jesus was the only fully illumined Son of His Father-Mother up to His day. Jesus fully knew that fact Himself, for God prepared Him as His Messenger to His age to plant the first seeds of love for their gradual unfolding in human Consciousness.

Many centuries have passed and the seeds have only now begun to unfold in a small percentage of the great masses of humans. You must realize that Jesus gave His Message of love to men of the brute stage of man. Bloodshed and cruelty were the pleasures of His day. Kindliness and mercy were but words to a people, even the children of people, whose measure of pleasure in the arena was the measure of cruelty and bloodshed served to them for their amusement.

That seed has been extremely slow to unfold, for man had been brute for so many aeons upon aeons that cruelty had become his nature.

QUESTION. In lesson 7, page 107, you say “There is no such thing in Nature as evil, sin or shame. Nature is never unbalanced.” and on page 116 “and that every insect, bird and beast, are instinctively controlled and watched over”. How then do you explain the condition of animals destroying their kind for food?”

ANSWER. Animals do not destroy each other for food. They but interchange their bodies with each other for the perpetuation of bodies–including their own. They still exist as eternal idea. They cannot be destroyed. All bodies interchange with other bodies perpetually. The present body of the zebra interchanges with the lion to perpetuate the idea of the lion. The body of the lion then interchanges with earth to perpetuate the idea of the zebra. The zebra thus acquires a new body to give to the lion. Bear this fact in Mind that the zebra cannot help giving its body to the lion even if it dies a natural death. Neither can you prevent giving your body back to the earth to manifest the idea of the cow, the sheep or the apple tree which likewise give their bodies to you to manifest the idea of you.

You must realize that idea is eternal and cannot be destroyed, but bodies which manifest idea constantly come and go to interchange WITH each other FOR each other. When God created bodies of animals He created other bodies to interchange with them, and He “watched over them” by giving them instinct to find those other bodies. And He, likewise, gave those other bodies instinct as to what animals will prey upon them in order that they should find balance for their continuance.

All of Creation is always in balance. If the rabbits in a forest unbalance the other growths of the forest, foxes will increase to insure balance by lessening the number of rabbits. And so it is with increase of birds where unbalance of insect life appears.

Nature creates bodies only to manifest the ONE WHOLE BODY of Nature, for all Nature is but ONE BODY of interchanging parts just as your body is ONE BODY of interchanging parts. Nature constantly interchanges bodies to keep the Whole Body of Nature in balance. Your own body manifests the idea of you by “destroying” countless bodies every moment in order that they do not “destroy” your body. These microbe bodies were created to return your body to the earth at the time of its refolding.

While your body is vital enough for you to absorb–or “destroy”–them it will do so, but countless other millions are waiting to eventually fulfill their purpose in obedience to Natural Law.

You must realize that a perpetual chemical transformation is forever taking place in Nature in order that bodies may be created to manifest idea. You could not have a body otherwise–nor could the tree, or meadow grass, or the grape on the vine.

God’s plan of procedure in this respect is–briefly–the division of all bodies into three qualities which we know of as the mineral, vegetable and animal kingdoms. The mineral kingdom comes first. God creates minerals by creating suns to act as crucibles for melting them.

They are then set out to cool in the forms of hot planets, such as Mercury, which is all mineral and still so hot that copper could melt on its surface, then Venus which has cooled sufficiently for water to appear and allow the extension of vegetable life from the mineral. Then hundreds of millions of years later vegetable and mineral kingdoms interchange with the help of water and animal life extends from that in as slow beginnings as vegetable life appeared.

As all three kingdoms interchange with each other their mutual interchangings form bodies containing all three in sufficient balance to perpetuate the ideas which gradually become manifested through such interchange of giving for regiving.

Every manifestation of such interchange is a manifestation of the love principle which Nature or man can violate if they choose but at their peril. If the heavens give insufficient rain the earth regives insufficiently of vapors for regiving. Deserts do not give clouds to heavens but forests and rivers do.

Likewise if man upsets the balance of productivity in oceans by wholesale nettings, or of soil erosion by wrong planting methods, or of bird life by taking more than his needs, he suffers from his overtakings until Nature restores the balance he has upset.

Perhaps you might get a better idea of the workings of Nature than the idea you propounded in your question if you will think of all interchange of every nature as GOOD.

Man learns by his hard experiences in taking more than he gives. He himself suffers for the unbalances he has caused but that suffering leads to the correction of his unbalancing by hard labor and deprivation. These ills of man’s making are GOOD because they lead to GOOD.

It is as GOOD that the lion has its zebra as that the bird has its worm. Without that interchange there would be no grass for the cow and no milk for your children.

Without that balanced interchange of mineral, vegetable and animal kingdoms this planet would become a stony, metallic, barren desert floating in the skies. There would no longer be the sounds of singing birds, nor worms for them, nor grass for the cow, nor children to need milk.

God’s Creation is all GOOD. No part of it is bad, nor wrong, nor evil. How can it be? How can we think of it as otherwise than GOOD, for all of it, in its entirety, is the expression of God’s love?

QUESTION. “Please define LOVE.”

ANSWER. Love is the ecstasy of peace and rest in the balanced LIGHT of all-knowing which is God. The E X P R E S S I O N of love is in balanced giving and regiving to manifest love materially.

It must be known that love is not its expression and much confusion arises because of that mistaken idea. Such confusion has persisted for centuries in all thinking, Motion, for example, is an expression of energy, but it is not energy as popularly presumed.

Likewise bodies are not the life which they manifest. The universe manifests its Creator but the universe is not its Creator. Nor is the poem the poet, nor the picture its painter.

To KNOW love you must know the Light of love. To express love you must BE love just as you must be the poet if you would express poetry.

The greatest confusion in regard to love is the very much mistaken idea that it is a physical thing which is possessed or can be possessed, or that love is its physical expression in material bodies.

QUESTION. A recent communication contains such sentences as these. “The will to peace is being released by our love-powered prayers”, and “Accept for the Cabinet and Congress God’s guiding wisdom, and release through Him the unfailing power of your love to destroy our enemies by filling them with the spirit of brotherhood.”

This raises the whole question of what some call ‘intercessory prayer’. You have said very plainly in your studies that God works WITH and not FOR one (P. 47) and that we should not sit and ask, acting not, for unless we reach out for our desire it shall not walk our way unaided by our strong arm. (P. 67)

“My hope is that you will expand on the possibility (if any) of DIRECT EFFECT without the medium of the ordinary senses. When you say that “desire within the Soul will always command the whole universe to fulfill the desire” (P. 75) can this include a DIRECT EFFECT in behalf of our “enemies” apart from such efforts to work with God as movements for personal or national reconciliations. Is such a DIRECT EFFECT made possible through “strongly seeing the Oneness of ALL so that our lives become a divine extension of that One?” (Prelude, P. vii)

“I have deeply valued lessons 5 and 6 and all that you say about love as giving and regiving as an inviolate law; and I absolutely agree that we ourselves should work out in action the desire –but please help us on the validity of DIRECT INFLUENCE in what is usually called “intercessory prayer?”

ANSWER. It is amazing how little ordinary human reason is applied to that subject of direct effort, direct influence and direct effect of intercessory prayer. What you are really asking me is this: “Do you believe that by getting enough people to join in “love-powered prayer” God will fill the enemies which have been made through unfair dealings with them with the spirit of brotherhood toward all so that we may continue to keep what we have taken from them by force, and hurt them as much as we want to, without ourselves being hurt?”

In other words there can be no “love-powered prayers” to God by any nation on earth today that asks for protection from, or conversion of enemies for they are based upon selfish motives. Those who do this are seeking to evade the consequences of their own actions by asking God for a harvest of peace and love from whirlwind sowing.

Let us consider this. Why do we have enemies that hurt us, steal from us, and kill us? The answer is that we are enemies of other people in whom we have bred hate and fear by hurting them, stealing from them and killing them.

The whole world is the enemy of the whole world, for love has not yet entered it. The whole world is divided against itself because the whole world has tried to build its own wealth and power by robbing its neighbor.

The survival by might idea is an inheritance from the jungle. The world is in a transitory stage of its unfolding. We are still primates and Barbarians who still use pagan methods of taking what we want by force. Every man fears his neighbor, else he would not lock his doors nor police his streets. Every nation fears every other nation, else it would not spend countless billions in armaments.

This has been so since the dawn of Consciousness in man. Early history is full of intercessory prayer to God from one greedy enemy who wishes to smite his enemy or to evade being smitten. Early tribes and Nations have asked God to take sides with them against other men and nations.

The early history of man is saturated with cruelty. Tribes killed prisoners by the thousands–men, women and children–and condemned countless thousands to slavery.

You, who have asked this question, undoubtedly feel that the world is now “civilized”, and that the days of conquest and killings have passed, and part of the world is good and the other part bad. The bad half is what you mean when you say–“destroying our enemies by filling them with the spirit of brotherhood”.

Let us consider that point of view. We, the American Nation, pose as being a righteous nation with no desire to aggress any other nation. In taking that stand we do not realize that we have been an enemy of mankind for centuries of cruelty and aggression for the purpose of building our empire. We have fought 117 wars, killed the inhabitants for the lands we wanted, attained more lands by killing and sharp practice, and abducted hundreds of thousands of black men from Africa with untold cruelty to enslave them for our selfish purposes.

Do not say “but that was yesterday and our forefathers did it, not us”, for we are extensions of our forefathers, and we are reaping the harvest which they sowed. We cannot enjoy its stolen fruits without paying heavily for it.

The price we are paying is in the blood of ten for every one we have killed. By becoming enemies we have made enemies. We are hundreds of billions in debt because of the few billions we stole. We are criminals in respect to God’s law, feigning righteousness in our people who are being persecuted by enemies, forgetful of our persecution of man by us as his enemy.

God’s law will not allow any man or nation to reap harvests of the luscious fruits of peace and good will who sows the seeds of hate and ill-will. We have acquired our freedom by depriving other men of their freedom, and now we wonder why other men wish to deprive us of our hard fought-for freedom. We call them our enemies, and ask God in “love-powered prayers” to set aside His laws in favor of us, as one enemy of man as against another enemy of man.

So much for this country. Let us consider England. The history of the building of the British Empire is red with blood and black with infamy. England conquered one nation after another for her own personal gain. While sending missionaries to the “heathen” half of the world to Christianize them it exploited them for gain. There is no blacker page in history than the attempted degradation of China by the forced sale of opium which resulted in two opium wars, tremendous bloodshed and the confiscation of lands as the price England exacted from China to make her pay for trying to save herself from the English terror.

England grew rich and powerful, but not happy. She had created too many enemies to feel secure or happy. No one can gain happiness by taking happiness from another. Like America and the rest of the world she lived by the sword and is dying by the sword. For centuries England could never tell which of the enemies she created would strike next, and every such war drained her best blood. As a consequence England is today on rations. Her Empire is disintegrating. And so is our empire. This enemy creating world is a world of hatred and fear. The history of one “empire” is like another. Spain, Germany, France, Holland, Belgium, Italy and Dutch East Indies conquests–Belgian Congo atrocities–are modern replicas of the scourgings of medieval and ancient pillagers, who went to wars of killings asking God’s help, and returned to ask His blessings upon their conquests and to thank Him for their victories over their enemies.

And so my answer is that so long as we are building the kind of world that we have been–and are building–we cannot ask God to set aside His laws and intercede in our favor as against another who also wishes to set aside God’s laws himself.

All of us together have built our world, not just one bad half as against a good half. All of us together have created our Hitlers, our Mussolinis, and our Stalins. Our class wars, such as the privileged and under-privileged, gentry and serf, capital and labor and rich and poor have bred fascism, nazism and communism.

Freedom is disintegrating through infiltration of communism, culture is lowering, moral fibre in citizenry is decaying, we are losing our best blood in war after war and are not producing great men as leaders, or great geniuses in the arts and invention, or great statesmen for our fast corrupting governments. The great European nations of a generation ago are now weak, and our own country is the last hope for a renaissance.

We have lived by the sword and the decadence of world–death by the sword is evident everywhere. Disunity is multiplying as decadence in weakened nations multiplies.

The whole world is facing another dark age. It is on the very verge of it.

The only thing which will prevent the world from plunging into that abyss is for mankind to stop being the enemy of man and be his friend. Stop taking and begin giving. Stop fearing man and begin loving him.

When nations of God-fearing men become nations of God-loving men who practice God’s ways the world will be saved from world suicide, and not until.

That is why God sent His Message to man at this time. That is why He sent new knowledge to teach men His ways. That is why He gave to mankind His One Law for the Cosmic Age now in its dawning–the law of rhythmic balanced interchange in all transactions of men as in Nature.

Man has not been ready for this new knowledge until now. In his unfolding he had to progress through the primate age of self-interest to the spiritual age of mutual interest in the brotherhood of man.

Through new comprehension of this electric universe man is now ready to comprehend and know God, and man’s own suffering has led him to that edge of his abyss from where he must turn back and seek, the Light.

When the day comes when man has really faced the Light instead of the dark he will then pray to His Father for his own worthiness to live in the Light to manifest the Light, and not that other men should be worthy, as your question suggests.

You can now readily understand that world condition which is the result of millions of years of slow unfolding cannot possibly be brought to its final goal by what you call “direct effect” resulting from the desire of your Soul, or even the world Soul. In God’s unfolding universe all idea is expressed in time cycles and you can no more “press a button” to complete a cycle of man’s unfolding than you can “press a button” to bring an oak tree into full growth overnight.

CONCLUSION

However, do not misinterpret this answer on prayer, to mean that I do not think that sincere groups who meet in prayer for the purpose of launching good thoughts out into the ether are not doing a very great service to human progress, and especially to themselves.

This is a thought wave universe. Thoughts have thought-bodies and can be reflected in the thoughts of other people by what is known as telepathy–which is really thought-radar.

When you do this, however, it is YOUR love thought which extends from you to your fellow man. Your love thought is inspired by your own God awareness and desire for godliness to be expressed in all men. It is, therefore, your desire, and your expression of love that you are extending from your own Soul to the Souls of other men and those thoughts will be reflected in those who are ready for them and will reflect back into your own Soul to influence your own thought and actions.

Remember, however, that your thought and desire for the unity of man is not a prayer from you to God, asking Him to use His powers for remedying the defects of other man. Intercessory prayer infers that you are asking God to intercede between you and other men who are causing you unhappiness, whereas God’s law exists and works for you and for all other men whether you request it or not, and whether it causes you unhappiness or not.

In other words, when you love your neighbor as yourself, and send such thoughts out into the world you are fulfilling God’s command. You are yourself obeying God’s law. You are not asking God to do it for you. You are extending your desire to other men to unify all men. In the meantime God awaits man’s slow unfolding and says to man “I am a patient God. All men will come to Me in due time, but theirs is the agony of awaiting.” (From The Divine Iliad.)

Swannanoa, Waynesboro, Virginia

Dear Friends:

Once more we wish to tell you of the great pleasure your wonderful letters are giving us and of the great satisfaction and encouragement of them because of so many demonstrations of power which are arising from the greater understanding of God’s ways of thinking and working.

One which touched our hearts deeply was the great success of a lover of art who had never studied at all, but who had been making extremely good paintings from pure love of nature and desire for self-expression.

Almost overnight a tremendous power came to him from deep inspiration. For several weeks afterward he painted pictures which were so far beyond anything he had ever before done that he himself was astonished, but not surprised, for he knew that something so wonderful had happened within his Soul that each brush stroke made him feel that for the first time in his life he was working knowingly with God. His pictures immediately received front page notices in the newspapers and were prominently reproduced with favorable comment in a leading art magazine.

This is a demonstration of what I mean when I say that one who works knowingly with God, works with God’s hands together with his as one.

The first question answered in lesson No. 20 was from one who had felt that illumination had come to him suddenly in the solution of a personal problem. This also is a demonstration of God awareness. That is the way it always comes–suddenly, for all inspired conceptions are timeless. Knowledge is a quality of the undivided Mind universe in which there is no time. Thoughts of Mind, however, take time, for thoughts are divided waves and waves are synchronized with the Universal heartbeat which creates the idea of time.

As more and more of you become thoroughly familiar with the practice of working knowingly with God, until it becomes a habit, the world will know more and more about it and geniuses will again be produced as they were during the three hundred years following the great Renaissance which gave us such inspired geniuses as Leonardo Da Vinci, Michael Angelo and others up through the days of Liszt, Chopin and Wagner, Tennyson, Shakespeare and Keats, to such recent geniuses as Kipling, Dickens, Walt Whitman and Thomas Jefferson.

Every man is an inherent genius and there should be an ever increasing number of geniuses in the world. You have it in you, and so have your sons, daughters and friends. The greatest man who ever lived is no greater than you except that he knew that he was and did something about it.

The hope of world culture is the production of more geniuses, and the only way to produce them is to make men aware of their genius. Conversely, the only way to make men realize the maximum of happiness in life is to produce geniuses, for they are the only ones who are capable of knowing happiness. By genius I mean the man who has learned to live life gloriously–at the maximum—not just the genius who has expressed himself in the arts.

That is why we constantly urge upon you the necessity of knowing God so that you will see yourself reflected in Him, or know yourself to be an extension of Him. The more you do unfold your genius the more you will be enabled to uplift the world to the level you have yourself attained.

Have you ever realized that if the world consisted only of geniuses there could be no wars? That is a fact, nevertheless, for genius in man is God-awareness. Naturally as God-awareness increases materiality decreases, and materialists are the ones who make wars.

Have you also realized that the geniuses of the world are those who spend more time in solitude and aloneness than other men, for in their solitude they find that ecstasy which is the greatest bliss that man can know.

Find time, therefore, to lose your body as much as you can. When you are aware of your body you can be lonesome, terribly lonesome and dejected–but never if you can find the exaltation and ecstasy which is in your Soul.

Knowing this from a lifetime of working with full awareness of the eternal man, whom I am, instead of the transient body which is but the instrument I use for self-expression, I have been able to multiply my powers of expression by many times that which man limits himself to when he thinks of himself as body.

Therein is the secret of Self-discovery. Therein lies the difference between greatness and mediocrity, stability and instability and strength and weakness in man.

That completion of your Self-discovery should be your supreme adventure, an exciting, fascinating personal adventure of that in you which visions, versus that in you which senses what you vision. That is the one great thing which gives zest to life, that something in you which surmounts and overrides annoyances as though they did not exist, which sees no obstacle anywhere between your vision and its consummation.

Life is glorious when it is all that way–and it really IS that way when that which is eternal in you makes you forget all else but the eternal in God’s universe–the rest of it being mirage which really cannot touch you when you know it cannot.

That is the way it is with Lao and me when we extend ourselves to you in these words which are of The Message, for Lao and I vision the multiplication of genius in man by searching in the dross of matter for the gems of eternity which lie within the bodies of mankind as pearls await discovery of their hidden existence in the opacity of dull matter.

We told you sometime ago that we had a plan for the multiplication of genius leaders of men. We are nearing the point where we can tell you more about it. The world has been decimated of its leaders. The world is not producing geniuses. The human race has become anaemic through drainage of its fine blood–and decadent because of burying its geniuses in many Flanders’ poppy fields instead of nurturing them with love in the Light of man’s need.

When we are ready to give that plan of resurrection to the world, and the method of it, and tell you of God’s explicit and detailed instructions regarding His plan for the resurrection of eternal man of His Cosmic Age, from its burying place in the earth of past ages, these lessons will have illumined more of you to become the Light of that resurrection.

When that glorious day comes then you who have found eternity within the hollow of your hand to use as though it were God’s hand, shall stand beside us, Lao and I, and look out from God’s Sacred Mountain of resurrection into its glorious vales below through which eternal man of tomorrow shall find new paths into a new world of a new kind of life adventure motivated by love, and by balanced dealings of man with man which passeth all understanding.

That is our aim–and our goal–but we have had to be very patient, and work very hard—and wait long for you to catch up, for we need you–many of you–for that day which is not far from fulfillment.

This is our message to you for now, a message of happiness which comes from seeing visions nearing fulfillment in the race of men, of visions of the saving of the race of men foretold in The Message for fulfillment before the year of 1961 shall have passed its sunset which leads into its night.

With our love and gratitude to our Father-Mother for your coming within the radiant aura of His Message, I am

Sincerely yours,

Walter Russell
