The LORD is your shepherd, you shall not want---if you will only understand that He longs to guide you correctly, if you will only understand that whereas evil has no real existence its shadowed veil has been the means through the centuries of binding man to the earth. And you shall see that by cutting the bonds of evil and by acknowledging the power of Good you will no longer strain at a gnat and swallow a camel, but you will enter straightway into the City of God, into the consciousness that transcends the world and it's options by recognizing the spiritual options that lie as a gift in your hand.
Man is the divine alchemist in physical form--in his right hand the gift of Life lies beating--it is the pulsation of cosmic Effort. Without acknowledging the gift man fades away as a vapor upon the glass. By acknowledging it the cosmic Breath strengthens the manifestation of self until death is swallowed up in victory and Life stands forth transcendent and splendid to every eye.
Onward we move progressively toward freedom in action. I AM

Now as my heart goes out to the children of the world I urge greater understanding on the part of all. It is not a question of age and youth, for what is age or youth but a figment of men’s imaginations on the ship of time. All sail through the bounding main, all move as pilgrims on the bark of life, and they are not so separated by thee few years as the illusion would have them believe. Each in himself is able to recognize his frail being; but let him also realize that
as there manifests a frail self,
an outward fragile thing
so there is an inner strength, an inner purpose,
a greatness to which we must give wing.
