…Yet wherever you are when your heart beats in adoration to God and in attainment with His purposes there is a connection, a strand of great light between your world and the world of divine freedom. The flow of divine energy over this cable is buoyant and all-knowing. The mysteries God seeks to convey to the minds of men are the mysteries of His heart that embody certain freedom for each lifestream.
To mortal consciousness with its latent and developing senses of soul the voice of God is heard as a whisper within the round-tower of man’s heart. The clash and clamor of the world are intended to drown out the voice of God and to make His words seem uncertain and vague….
You must perceive aright that it is not man alone nor even human ambition that is solely the fault with this age. On the contrary the error lies in the driving sinister strategies of the brothers of the shadow who find in mankind’s loose ambitions a lever whereby they can open the door into the individual’s world and dump upon the screen of his mortal consciousness the refuse of their chaotic confusion….
We now know that only by the intensification of the will of God in man can we counteract the forces of materialism riding rampant upon the human range….
Religion and God are often identified with extreme austerity and the concept that self-denial is inherent in true piety is scattered throughout the world. In our state we often feel that those who deny themselves the most are they who feed at the trough of the mundane swineherds and eat the husks of mortal reason, thought and feeling--complacently abiding like dumb oxen in a sickly weedpatch, whereas the green pastures of God are just around the bend of mankind’s failures waiting to be partaken of so that the soul may wax fat in divine abundance….
The dried tree of stolid unprogressive orthodoxy fit for the burning has a counterpart nigh at hand: a green tree whose perennial branches pointing toward God are imbued with a holiness, dwelling not in temples made with hands nor in the swinish fodder of mortal argument and senseless dissension. People who would be communicants to the body of Christ must behold now the peacemaking Lamb of God. The sea of glass upon which the company of saints do stand and whereupon the Lamb of God is ministered unto before the throne of God signifies transparency of thought and feeling which permits the penetration of the unfailing light of truth and withal the tangible light of the immortal Presence of God….
I know full well that this generation has more diligently rendered their substance unto Caesar than they have even thought of providing materially for the establishment of God’s kingdom upon earth; rendering unto God those things which are God’s does not appear to most men to be a karmic necessity….It is the spirit that uses mankind that is to blame (for world folly)--therefore purity of Spirit stemming wholly from determined God-seeking is the crying need of this hour. Many teach the divine pursuit but withal cage men with such dogma as to make them enemies of other pilgrims upon the path….
You see, now that I have flung down my glove my naked hand shall clasp the hand of those friends of freedom who are willing to see that the philosophy of action is needed today, and I will assist them in every way I can….
Freedom is more than a sword,
Freedom is a game/ Of liberation
And the might of light,
Of truth-telling by the power of right
And of Love’s Laws delight.
