Each hour is its own open-ended compartment. It is its own because man has freewill, time being his unique opportunity for energy qualification; it is open-ended because the effects of his deeds are far-reaching. Many people expect no accounting for the deeds they do, for their understanding of life is not based on the law of cause and effect. But regardless of what people think, all theories that seek to explain phenomena without benefit of this law are vain. Wise therefore is the man or woman who sees the golden rule as a great personal safeguard….
Where freedom of the individual is concerned each has a golden key forged out of the law of cause and effect that will open the door to his own freedom. When people understand the need to build wisely by thought, by feeling and by deed they will guard against the tendency to overreact to situations and people. How many times has Cain slain his brother simply because of overreaction?
One of the wisest safeguards against human bondage is self-control. But whereas self-control may prevent bad deeds, the mesmerism of lingering thought can stimulate them; and whereas self-control may hold back the flow of emotional reactions stemming from wrong thought, for man to be neither hot nor cold but lukewarm--holding to a position of neutrality in all things--does not necessarily produce the good karma of right use of life’s opportunities….because thus far only the few have directed the many, I urge the many to pause and to reflect upon their own blessed potential. Yes, you have freewill, blessed ones; for that which men use from day to day they call freewill. But the night of human will is far spent; and the shroud which misuse of freewill has created has darkened many hearts, bringing seemingly endless pain and making them to cry out, “O Lord, how long?” …
You cannot just follow the crowd and allow weed-seeding of the world’s thought to take root in your consciousness. You must preserve your God-given individuality and your right to be perfect as your heavenly Father is. Through Christ awareness each individual can develop in the garden of his heart an unlimited cosmic potential so magnificent that he can say unto those who follow him, even as Jesus did, “Greater things shall ye do because I go to my Father.”
