During my lifetime as Francis Bacon when the Shakepearean plays were released, embodying at time those cloud-capped ideas of the Spirit and then again entering into the arrows and slings of outrageous fortune, I delivered to the world both censure and praise--praise for the beauty to be found in the soul which God placed there in bejeweled splendor and blame for the old follow-the-leader concept whereby men of fear write their own epitaphs in infamy. They do not consider the native quality of divinity as gifts of worth but follow instead those decadent concepts which reveal them as men who stand for nothing save feathering their own nests….
Let men see the role of the violet flame as it culls out of consciousness, out of the vital bodies and out of the whole being of man every human subtlety, every retrogressive tendency and completely nullifies the coercions of the man of the world….
The Gloria in Excelsis Deo that will bring true peace on earth is in the soul (solar energies); it was planted in the garden of the heart by the Almighty. In Him and in the Spirit of truth that He is is the unfoldment of loveliness and high adventure. Life is not meant to be a vale of trial but a veil of triumph wherein the Spirit of Christ-truth, perceiving the blueprint of universal reality, seizes the luminous orb of destiny and cats down the despairs of life as it raises the banner of freedom within the souls of men.

Men cry cry out for knowledge, they perceive and know in part, but the beauty of the holy citadel--the place where the Holy Spirit dwells--is seldom contacted by them. Instead comes the ego asserting its tendencies, its desires, its stain and its masquerading until at last as the sifting of men is being carried out even by the higher power within themselves we say: they know not what they do, and in blindness and conceit they remain the destroyers of one another’s destiny.
Let it not be so! Rather let all lameness and all meanness be healed and turned into the way of the children of love and peace. Love and peace work no ill to one’s neighbor or to oneself; masochistic tendencies now prevalent and spreading in the world also act to destroy. The venom of retribution that men inflict upon self as well as others is one of the great harms, while dishonesty of heart that maligns others for the errors of self denies the balm of cosmic healing to the soul and in its place affirms confusion.
Now the banner of light illumines the sky, but for those whose eye are covered by cataracts of self-deceit there can be no clarity of vision….And what shall I ay of the millstone that i now being hung around the necks of those who harm God’s little ones through pornography, dope and sex education when their tender minds should be reaching up to the love of the Holy Mother and Her wisdom that guards against anger and selfishness?…
Every glow of infinite destiny that you permit and encourage to manifest in your world becomes a star of hope to someone who gazes upon your feet as you either walk straight upon the path that leads to your freedom or stumble upon the stones which are being cast in the pathway.

Great or small, man’s consciousness is his chief obstacle or his chief advocate. The gateway to consciousness is seldom guarded by contemporary men. Like a vast funnel they take in as living truth all that they see around them, whereas things of the invisible world--the links with true Being--are denied because they are invisible to physical senses. These denials seem at first a harmless pastime like a parlor game. In reality they stifle and cut off the flow of creative majesty within the being of man….
Let all understand that he who places his hand in service upon the plow to plow a straight furrow that others may eat shall himself not go hungry in time to come. What a pity it is that the spoilers are so widely disseminated and that carriers of the seeds of God sometimes appear as a ragged handful of tired old men--I will take even one of them in preference to thousands of self-centered sowers of darkness whose every thought is for their own gain….
Tenderly God has placed His holy wisdom to permeate the universe, to exist side by side with His holy will. His will is the key that unravels the Law, but the Law has aspects both low and high. Those who master the low may not know the high….And now our work is here upon Terra, and the children of men must be taught to find their deliverance from the darkness they have fashioned with their hands, with their minds, with their shortsightedness. His will is the panacea; as we embrace it in the smallest matters the unguents of compassion and healing flow.

The tenderness of spiritual reality is guarded by the heart, and the arhat in nobleness sets himself as a repository of God’s good…(in his) understanding that sees eternal values ever mounting, leaving behind the stragglers. These have formed themselves into loose-knit bands of inferior standard, and their games have often pierced the heart of virtue….
To many life is only a fable because its realities have never been sensed; in hopelessness and despair men have embraced the dust only to see it crumble and to be blown they know not where.
