As has been said, one speaks of angels and hears the rush of their wings; for even when the consciousness is engrossed with outer darkness the inner flame continues to burn, silently opposing the entire weight of man’s human creation by its own forcefield of cosmic clarity.
Some men seem to forget that when they have given their all to the moloch of human greed and hatred they cannot by wishful thinking instantly reap the greatest cosmic experiences. Many times throughout the millenniums Heaven has issued her own mandates with scarcely a response from human levels; but the moment individuals begin to turn toward God they expect the heavens to literally fall upon them and to shower them with such love as will wipe out all activities of negation in which they have engaged.
Let them understand that while Heaven has love for the prodigal son of creation that love is tethered to the reality of cosmic Law. Although Life peeps through the lattice work of man’s consciousness, affording him glimpses of his higher Self and the promise of those experiences that are to come if he continues faithfully upon the pathway, Life does not immediately expand the fullness of a new sense of direction simply because man wills it so. Let humanity then learn the ritual of patient service as they turn toward the Light.

Many have imprisoned the splendor of God’s Grace that, if they would only allow it, would shine like a beacon from within. To cover that beacon, to hide it in a shroud of mourning is to accept limitation in your outreach. Let man then realize that he has unlimited potential, let him call to heaven for an expansion of that potential in his consciousness. For in a very real sense every man is the keeper of his own lighthouse: either he hides the beacon within the self-centeredness of his being or he opens wide the shutters of his life so that the inner light can guide all men….
Yet there remain in the world those concerns and involvements that, like sticky paper, are there to trap man in a round of worldly activities: the ownership of land and property, the maintenance of social status, the acquisition of power and the manipulation of wealth. But all of these distractions are meaningless once man is able to perceive the boundlessness of God as “the day-spring from on high” that visits his outer self when he taps the inner strength of which we speak. But unless man receives the messages telegraphed by the soul how can he entertain other than mundane thoughts and ambitions, seeing that the soul is the screen upon which are imprinted those cosmic engrams of light which lead the self into higher truth?
Even the imaginations of man’s heart have often gotten him into a hornet’s nest of destructivity; but once he is able to let go of himself and to surrender the ego that imprisons his soul he can understand the divine Intent with a greater measure of fiery inspiration. He can perceive a rail of heavenly potential reaching from Earth to Heaven, guiding his soul through the trackless air to the beauties of higher spheres. Then in the sense of a new beginning he will start with the alchemy of self-examination….
You who look to the higher way of Life will understand that Life is destiny. This destiny you will desire to fulfill according to the traditions of the masters, using the world for the mastery of self, not abusing it in the selfish domination of others. And you will let no outer condition become the bane of your spiritual existence that like quicksand will swallow up your constructive ideas.
Remember, beloved hearts of light, in past ages humanity have dwelled in darkness, forgetting the glories of the light from whence they came. To the one who does not know the way of the light let me say that the only means of finding it is to begin today to invoke it and to keep on invoking it until the road of eternal Life rises before you, unfolding ever-new vistas of progress and challenges of discovery and attainment.
In Heaven’s name you in reality are not imprisoned! God Himself wills you free. Every master, every angel, every cosmic being works ceaselessly for the unfoldment of the divine plan for the Earth. But you yourself must develop the discipline, the steeling of your very mind and soul--the twenty-four-hour-a-day attitude of “pressing toward the mark.” And if you do not, another will claim the prize that should have been your own.
