For Those Who Espouse a Philosophy of Action:
The capacity of man to understand God requires perseverance in application and an unwavering discipline of mind. Let it not be implied here that the Infinite One can be known in His fullness by mere outer intelligence. After all a teacup cannot contain the ocean….The grace of God is always given to the humble, therefore the razor’s edge must also be applied to false humility which robs men of the confidence they need to rightly play the game of life.
-Francis Bacon by N. Hilliard, 1578

We know that each lifestream who enters there (to incarnation)--when coming to full waking consciousness and awareness of greater opportunities which Life yields--is often in great remorse for lost opportunity, for neglected graces which Life may have afforded. Born of their regret there is often established for the reembodying one fibers of determination that set the sail of life that is to come in a very definitive manner simply because of the intensity of the remorse which they feel….
Well, I say, with the world going as it has now for many a year I should think that the education of mankind itself could afford enough for teachers and would-be teachers for ten thousand embodiments, let alone for a few paltry hours in this one. Now in addition to the service of teaching there is the office of holy prayer, and intercession is certainly needed, especially that type of intercession free from commercialization of the Deity whereby mankind seek to enlist the aid of God on their side for the purpose of attaining worldly success. What is needed is that prayer which seeks to exemplify the great abundance of the Cosmic Law of Life and its release of holy intelligence into a man’s being for the correction of all fleshly ills and the establishment of the golden age of righteousness and enlightenment upon the planet! …
Remember, precious ones, the kingdom of God must be received as a little child (Matt. 18: 1-6; Mark 10:13-16).
-Fiat Rex by N. Roerich

It is not enough to leave mankind to bask in the flame of self-effort, but we must somehow manage to convey more of the fire of heaven through to individual consciousness so that inspiration will come forth as a well within the fount of individual identity. …
O mighty Threefold Flame of Life,
Thou gift of God that is so pure,
Take all my thoughts and energy
And make them all secure…
-Zarathustra: Pearls of Wisdom 8:50

The goal of God is victory for every man, and therefore none should shun the divine path simply because they seem to lack the essential qualities of intellect, of love or of will….--yet without effort, without acceptance of the individual how can change be wrought? God requires acceptance and desire in order to manifest His likeness and perfection in man….
God holds all responsible for their attunement with His Law, the Law of love and mercy…I hasten to advise you then that because life is so precious and so charged with the radiance of the rose of the soul of God you must so regard your own life. For it is not just your own but it is His Life that you are using, and the requirements of His Law are that you seek freedom from all that is confusing and find the answer to your problems in this universe by invocation to His Law of mercy and love and comprehension. You must comprehend that which do not now know; you must constantly move forward.
The Law of Life does not permit men to stand still--they cannot remain forever fixed to human ideas, for the Law of Life will break those ideas quite naturally in order that men may move forward:
Those who do not wait for life to do the breaking
Will themselves their own destiny be making
And find it rises then on to mountain view--
A firmly shaped doorway for the few
Who as the surge mounts up become the many
Cherishing each opportunity, if any show its smiling face,
And seeking to behold somewhere in life their rightful place
Will smile forth in joyful anticipation
That releases Life’s grace in circulation,
Knowing that unity is victory without cessation
For cosmic Victory to all,
For cosmic Victory to our Brotherhood,
For cosmic service, increased awareness, purification,
For the wondrous power of change,
I AM calling forth now unlimited merry joy of endless cycles
That progress through the avenues of the years
