I AM an archangel, illumination is my flame. And if it seem difficult for you to realize that “day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge” whether from the lips of a lisping child or from the fiat of an archangel of God, try to understand with the inward heart that with God all things are possible.
Men are prone to judge by worldly standards, to prove all things thereby and to follow the styles of the day rather than the principles of the ages. They are willing to believe in one another--and it is true that great geniuses in every century have written and written well--but why limit the speech and knowledge of those of Us who are preserved by His grace throughout the millenniums?
We live to exalt truth in word and deed that you might step out from the clay images you wear into a dimension of reality that exists all around you, that is in you, that is the key to your release because it is the wisdom of God….
Men can, if they will, maintain the barriers they have erected. Men can, if they will, keep up the sham of having all knowledge. But deep within they know that their knowledge is limited, that they cannot truly preserve life, although they have succeeded in so doing on a temporary basis….
Man is the creation of God. Created in love and endowed with great wisdom he has been given the means of tapping the secrets of power both in himself and in nature. These secrets like stairways into eternity are relative--one following the other. Thus the great attainments that many have made are as nothing to others who have passed beyond them….
Our holy band functions as a permanent wave offering to God. We continually direct and redirect our energies into the chalice of human life. We seek to improve life from on high. We dispense truth to man as a prescription for all of his ills, as the breaker of the chains of his bondage and as the creator of the winds of onward purpose.
We are progressive and ongoing, but We cannot destroy human will. Man may, if he wish, ignore all of the mandates of heaven, all of the wisdom of God and dwell in the tents of darkness. He has done it successfully for centuries, for millenniums; but then there are two kinds of success. Men succeed in expressing the transitory, oft imitated patterns of humanity, with all of their foibles and propensities to senseless change and style--for that has been their goal. Then there is success in God, the success of holy men of the ages who have penetrated the veil and beheld the mysteries of the Spirit and the overcoming of mortal density.
The density in the minds of men is being fed because humanity look continually to the outer, they look to penetrate from the without to the within whereas the real way to eternal progress is to penetrate the seed pattern, the divine idea, from within. And if at first you do not understand this method and plead ignorant, I say to you: you are not ignorant of the means to petition God that ye might receive from within knowledge about the plan.
Man’s consciousness may run the gamut from the center of God within himself to the outermost periphery of expression. The fingers of the mind may travel the same route again and again, each time beholding greater facets of truth. For after all, are you not intended to possess with God all knowledge as you learn to love all that expresses his victory and to extend mercy to those who have fallen short of the mark? Are you not also intended one day to express the allness of universal power when you shall have completed your novitiate and moved onward in the varying degrees of mastery, striving for the perfection of cosmic purpose? -Jophiel: Pearls of Wisdom 13:38
