When men are unable to enthrone the Most High within themselves they enthrone themselves within their concepts of the Most High. Making no pretense at hypocrisy they surround themselves with it….Men must of course recover their faith and refine it in order to draw forth the omnipotent stream that will render their solar bodies flawless under the scrutiny of the all-seeing Eye of God….
One of the problems of contemporary men is that they are seldom willing to consider the abandonment of their whole forte of knowledge. They have created a leaning tower of Pisa and they cannot contemplate its ruin….and the shoddy facade of the social world that outwardly seeks to portray great class ever lacks the nature of true grace.

Too frequently mankind behold the passing cinema of world events in blacks and whites; therefore when I speak of the gray tones it is to illustrate the need for balance in assessing the world of contemporary man where the silt and the white sand of men’s accomplishments mingle midstream in the onrushing tide of human endeavor. The white sand like sparkling diamonds in the brilliance of the noonday Sun must be separated from the grains of error and that misqualification which while it has seemed real has always been illusion….
The dividing of the way is also the togetherness of the way. For the spiritually elite are those who in praying “Thy kingdom come” perceive the coming moment of spiritual victory as their own. The awful sense of individualism apart from divine origins and purpose, like the sadness of a death that could be real, penalizes the seeker for individuality by dividing him from the glowing whole of Life through his own untutored acts….Fear not those who seem to have power for a day over outer conditions but rather build your lives out of the substance which has framed the realm of God-achievement….
Heaven bears you faith as you daily pledge your hearts anew. In the grandeur of the heavenly view of purity I AM

Some individuals who are very sturdy indeed demand of the universe a great outpouring of progressive victory. They are able to receive it, and they expand very rapidly. Others who call for their expansion and the perfection of the Infinite when they receive the promptings of the Holy Spirit are thoroughly shaken by heaven’s response and sometimes they retreat to the rocks of mortal density where they prefer to seclude themselves from the world and live the simple life of the idle visionary or the child-man, involved in a host of games which they can play to while away the allotted time that God has given to them.
Still others have a different concept. They ask for a little advancement, or such as God feels that they are able to receive. They accept it when it is given, and they make steadfast progress. Heaven welcomes all progress….
The universe was created in basic trust--the trust of every part in the wholeness of the vast creative scheme, the trust of every part in the head and in the plan for the entire cosmos. Those who have little faith, strangely enough, seem to pin what faith they have in themselves. Unfortunately they pin their faith not in the Real Self but in the pseudo-Self--in the carnal mind, in the outer manifestation. -Divine Director: Pearls of Wisdom 11:36

The very purposes of life and freewill were bestowed upon man in order that he might create by right choices a consciousness of Christ-amity. Unless individuals shall understand Jesus’ statement “It is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” they may continue the struggle to get it for themselves. Once they understand that Life is theirs to be appropriated they will see that they cannot serve two masters and serve them both well. The student who would prepare his consciousness to receive God must be prepared to let go of the changing outer consciousness with its warped sense of values. He must be prepared to reeducate the self, to nullify the bad effects of unwanted environment and to master the reins of his consciousness….This preparedness includes the willingness to bypass the concepts of the intellect which would reason away either God or man. Blessed ones, almost anything can be proven by human reason; the argumentations of the intellect are a complete waste of divine energy in the world of form….
Men must understand that they have a responsibility to direct their own lives. If at first this responsibility be understood merely in the sense of directing themselves into the hands of Divine Providence, then let it be done. For sooner or later when the child initiate is ready to receive it he will be given the holy responsibility of cherishing his own consciousness….What man needs is to learn to let go of himself and to release himself from the mainstream of mortal and environmental consciousness….the great stream of the divine consciousness by which the worlds were framed exists as much today as it did in the beginning, and it is transcendently achieving its own goal. Then he must hitch the wagon of his consciousness to this star of reality. The Great Divine Director: Pearls of Wisdom 11:46
