It is folly to think that men will escape the result of their own acts. In accordance with the consistency of cosmic Law it is ever true that as men sow so shall they reap. The fact that the mercy of heaven has extended pardon to men again and again is no sign that in matters of human relations where mankind fail to express a reasonable kindness to one another they are not forging a yoke of drudgery around their own necks….
Worlds a-borning and worlds a-dying are simply the fulfillment of infinite Law which governs the cycles of life in all parts of cosmos. In a like manner the process of metamorphosis and the entire spectrum of change in human life are intended to follow the measured cadences of God’s care.
It is in receiving comfort from the Holy Spirit that mankind are imbued with the sense of complete peace and rest, yet how marvelous is the balance that enables them to see once and for all that peace is not a cessation of activities but a blessed expansion of God at rest in service, as being is intended to be God in action; for both manifestations are necessary polarities of His Grace.
If men and women would only recognize the creative motions of the universe as their own, as a part of their spiritual heritage, they would see quite plainly that the current regime of struggle against confusion and against false management of the lives of others by diverse forms of tyranny is only a cloud that, like burnt-out cinders, clogs the atmosphere of man’s consciousness. The infamous history of human tyrants and ungodly people involves far too great a percentage of human life when one considers the multitudes who have mimicked the wickedness of both their lords and their peers. Only the few have understood the true meaning of life not as a continuing struggle but as a pulling-together for a higher glory than that of the human ego; these have held out the hand of faith to the purposes of Deity….
It is up to people as they pursue the highest goal in the universe, oneness with God, to find those regenerative faculties of light and hope for themselves that their hearts might thereby bow low in reverent gratitude to God for the gift of Himself. While flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God the triumph of the soul arrayed in its divine vestments is one of mastery over all man’s darkness by the expansion and acknowledgment of His light….
That the anointing of God be sought, that His Spirit be encouraged to do its mighty work among men to alter the structure of weakness and bind up the wounds of humanity is my prayer. Devotedly, Mary Pearls of Wisdom 15:37
