The law and the power of love is explained many times and in many ways throughout these volumes of God's revealing. One is commanded to "pray with all the energy of heart" that he might be possessed of this great love, that it will be well with him.
The sacred privilege and principle and the divine, breathtaking power of prayer is exalted into a vibrant glory of revelation as it takes on the supreme wonder of that "Narrow Way -- the Path He trod -- which so few find!"
The exquisite fullness of that superb, all-powerful command, "Let there be Light," as man makes use of that knowledge, is unspeakably beautiful!
The Church of the Firstborn is outlined and its principles of holiness are made known so that all those who desire might attain unto membership, if so be they will fulfill the laws, that they might be numbered among "The priests and priestesses of Golden Radiance!"
The status of becoming a "pillar in the temple of God" as one becomes a mighty, upholding power in supporting the whole, divine structure of eternal truth and Light is sublimely beautiful. One realizes that he was destined to become a very part of God's great Light and eternal truth as he reaches his own fulfilment.
Within these books is contained all that the mind of man can fathom at the present time and all that the soul of man can possibly desire in fulfilment, from the first vision of hope to the full bestowal of all gifts and power of creation.
The New Song, even that sacred, dynamic, Celestial Song of Creation is revealed in detail that all who desire might become living participants in that stupendous symphony of eternal glory.
And now, I am instructed to make clear the pathway of "overcoming." It is beautiful beyond anything man has ever dreamed and easy beyond belief. The whole pathway of glory is the road of discipline as one becomes a disciple. As one places himself under discipline he soon becomes a master. A master of what? He becomes the master of himself by mastering his own vibrations. Vibrations are the living forces of entities of his own creating. As he becomes aware of his dynamic creative powers they become subject unto him and he becomes the master.
"Faith is the substance (or material) of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." "If one is without hope he must need be in despair and despair cometh because of iniquity." When one learns to control the vibrations he normally releases through his dismays, set-backs, misfortunes or even unanalyzed thoughts and feelings, and holds himself in a state of inner calm and peace the evils and vicissitudes will be disarmed and become powerless. As one works to control vibrations he truly becomes a disciple for he places himself under the wondrous discipline of learning to control the very powers of creation. This indeed is mastery. This is the evolving from the man kingdom into the God kingdom. This is the beginning of divinity.
"Hope" is the great beacon of Lighted glory which is so necessary in order to have a happy, successful life of eternal achievement. "Hope" is the voice of Promise. It is the guiding beacon that will forever light the Way of him who will follow its sacred leading and guard it from the engulfing vibrations of evils and despairs. Any promise or hope which an individual is led to cherish in his heart is an individual revelation or promise that can become his own. It will all be fulfilled unto him, and more, regardless of what it is he is led to desire, if that hope or desire contained within his heart is noble and pure.
Only the eternal, unwavering, creative power of "hope" can fulfill the desires of the heart. And only as "hope" is guarded and kept alive by the perfect control of one's own released vibrations, which are the off-spring of his thoughts and emotions intermingled, can hope complete the pattern or design of its own destiny. And only as one keeps his vibration in control can "hope" operate. And only hope can fulfill the yearning desires of the heart.
"Hope" is the pattern faith uses to produce realities. As hope becomes a living thing it will take form in the mind of an individual as clear and beautiful as a painting on a wall. The clearer are the details the more speedily and perfectly will the hope be fulfilled.
The full key to this dynamic, limitless power is held only by the individual who can control the vibrations which are hurled against him by outside conditions or forces or hate-filled individuals. But even more important, one must master and control every vibration which is released through his own being. One's own vibrations are his own creations. These released vibrations may be either destructive, deadly powers of unfathomable evil or they may be the very powers of godhood. When these vibrations of one's own creating are evil they become his enemies, and are of his own household. To rule one's own household in triumphant power one must realize that he is the head of his house as he exercises the authority of his mastery. He must fully comprehend the stupendous importance of his powers of divinely, exerted control as he uses them.
Only by the method of learning to control one's own vibrations in a divine harmony of glorious, inner peace can "hope" burn in an unwavering flame that must perfect the pattern of its own fulfilling.
"If any of you lack (hope or faith or) wisdom, let him ask of God Who giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, without wavering, for he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.
"And let not that man think he shall receive anything of the Lord!"
Unwavering "hope" carries the attitude of expectancy. Expectancy is the perfect container held out for faith to fill full. "Hope" is the pattern. Expectancy is the container. And Faith is the substance out of which all desired things are formed.
Faith is hope carried to the point where despair cannot touch or mar or destroy the pattern held out for fulfilment.
"Hope promises all things and Faith fulfills them." Faith and hope are in a way synonymous. Faith is hope matured and made perfect, like a child grown into manhood.
"He who is without hope must needs be in despair. And despair cometh because of iniquity."
Despair comes when uncontrolled doubts, fears, despondency or any evil vibration is permitted to assail one and feed upon his strength and devour his radiant powers of glory. Dark, discouraging vibrations are completely demoralizing and will utterly destroy the perfect works of hope and faith. These intangible, elusive, almost unthought feelings of doubts and dismays and despondency are the flickering flames by which the true "gold is tried." These flames of despair, of inadequacy, of lack or fear or doubt may be only flickering little flashes. But there is no human being on the earth who is not tested and tried by them. These little seemingly harmless flickers can leap instantly into a consuming conflagration that destroys the pattern of hope held out in the divine container of expectancy.
This "pure gold that must be tried in the fire," is the spiritual gold of that reflecting mirror of fulfilment when one, through understanding, has learned to control the fire, using it solely for good. Fire has been one of mankind's greatest blessings when controlled and one of his greatest curses when it is permitted to go out of bounds. When a person, with powerful vibrations, uses them knowingly for good nothing is impossible. When one ignorantly permits destructive, evil vibrations to be released through himself he has placed himself within the fires of hell and realizes it not. And unless he begins to comprehend and to become the master he will be destroyed.
As one learns to study and understand vibrations he comprehends that they are the flickering, leaping flames of his own testing as he works toward mastery. As vibrations are mastered and used rightly they purify that inner gold of the spirit and it becomes perfected. These flickering flames of one's accepted or released vibrations could also be likened to "the waves of the sea," mentioned by Saint James. When evil, negative vibrations are permitted to dictate and take over that inner pool of gold, it, instead of becoming pure, and "stilled" as a mirror, becomes storm tossed, turbulent and a reflector of shattered hopes in its great disquietude. And so only the reflection of shattered fragments of the holy desire is reflected out to be fulfilled. "And let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord."
As long as one is tossed emotionally by every dismaying, unhappy, disconcerting condition or vicissitude or thought that is out of tune with that "stilled" perfection of expectant hope, there can be no power of glorious fulfilling operative. It is not that God is unwilling to bestow all that is desirable, but the individual is unprepared to receive.
"Hope" is a sensitive, tender, delicate painting. It is a fragile picture. Hope is composed of a spiritual substance which depicts a glorious vision of promise, waiting for fulfilment. It is the blue-print of that which was meant to become. This etherial pattern must be safeguarded and appreciated. Doubts mar it. Unbelief or despair or despondency or negation can utterly destroy it. The vision, which "hope" is must be cherished and protected from all dismaying, depressing vibrations, from despair and from fear for they will destroy it utterly.
"Hope" is the spiritual formation of divine vision placed within the soul of man. It is composed of spirit matter and made permanent by the brush strokes of the vibrations used by the individual as he perfects the promises of God whispered into his heart. Only by the control of one's own vibrations can that celestial painting, formed by "hope," be made an everlasting reality. Only evil vibrations can destroy it. And only exalted, glorious vibrations can fulfill it.
Vibrations can be the glory of one's life if they are dynamic vibrations of living light which one permits to enter his being and then sends on out with ever more powerful energy directing their release in the complete glory of fulfilment. Vibrations can also be the evil of overwhelming darkness which bring the degredation of suicide, insanity or continuous misery and failure into one's life. Sordid, desolating vibrations are "the evils of one's life that must be overcome."
Bleak, desolate, hopeless vibrations are the invisible forces of existence which destroy "hope" or one's living promise of glory, leaving only a heap of burned-out, ugly ashes where the divine pattern was held, deep in the heart of man.
"As one overcomes the evils of his life (which are the negatious vibrations), and loses every desire for sin, he reaches the point of faith where he is wrapped in the power and glory of his Maker and is caught up to dwell with Him!" No saying ever revealed contains more truth or greater promise than this. The promise contained within it is so blinding in its glory few have been able to behold it.
To master vibrations, or the forces of life and death, it must be made apparent just what they are. So very few have ever comprehended them or even given them a thought simply because they cannot be seen by our physical eyes. They are the powerful, invisible forces of existence. They are the great realities. They are the cause of the things that are -- and the things that will be.
Behind hate, resentments, hurt feelings, fears, jealousy and greed, along with all the other emotions of evils experienced by mankind, are the destructive powers of darkness and disease (dis-ease) and destitution and misery and death. These things are most real but the vibrations which are their cause have been ignored because they are invisible, intangible and immeasurable to mortal eyes and to the physical senses.
It is only by controlling vibrations that a release from drab, desolate mortal existence can be possible.
And contrary to the belief of those who have only a very vague understanding of vibrations, it is not so much the evil vibrations of others being hurled against us that are so devastating. It is those vibrations which we release within ourselves that toss us and distress us and destroy us and our pattern of "hope" with its promise of fulfilment. The vibrations of others can only effect us to the degree in which we permit ourselves to be influenced by them.
It is only our own reactions to the actions or vibrations or words of others that their influence can find a response in us. There are, of course, those whom we contact in life who are completely repellent, depressing and almost deadening in their dull, unanimated unaliveness. And there are those who lift our spirits to the very skies even as they brush by us in passing.
The dark, negative, depressing vibrations, or the hate-filled vicious, degenerate ones, which others send out, need only be understood in order for us to ignore or conquer them without stress or dismay.
Every individual has the power to instantly transmute any evil vibration, which is sent to him, by translating those vibrations into living rays of light and then returning them. On the wings of love and blessing all dark vibrations can be instantly exalted, transmuted and returned to the sender. As returned rays of light they can heal the sender or destroy him according to his acceptance or rejection of them. If he fights against them he is "fighting against the light" which has been increased a thousand fold by your having transmuted it. If he accepts these, his own vibrations, returned to him in living power he can be healed. Within this knowledge is contained the full meaning of that divine, beautiful command: "Pray for your enemies. Pray for those who despitefully use you or persecute you!" Each person has the power of divine healing thus held in the fulfilling reality of that hither-to-fore uncomprehended command.
You indeed have the power of divine healing within you as you return the vibrations of an enemy to him in love and understanding. It is up to him to accept those glorified, transmuted vibrations or to reject them. They are his own. If they are accepted that individual can be instantly healed of his warring hates and deadly evils. If he rejects your proffered blessing of living light his own vibrations will turn back upon him in a manner that will bring annihilation. This is no concern of yours. You are to love, to bless and to rejoice in the power of forgiveness which you have offered.
These great forces of transmutation, sent out by your love and released light and forgiveness are unspeakable. They can never be used in mere words, or be expressed in any spoken language. They are released powers and are dynamic beyond words.
Then there are the vibrations that will seek, at a moment of unawareness, to take over your life. These black waves of fear, dismay, desolation, despondency or dismal doubts are hurled out from the kingdom of the Prince of Darkness and his rampant legions of screaming, destructive forces of warring, negation and defiant rebellion. These are the most deadly ones and must be understood.
These vibrations of evil are forever being hurled against humanity from the Nether Regions seeking to enslave, destroy, to injure and to molest and retard the progress of man. And it is these vibrations that are the most intangible, elusive and detrimental. One can be on a high pinnacle of peace or triumphant, joyous ecstasy, then without cause or reason he can feel that he is sitting on the very brink of despair and hopelessness. It is these vibrations that inflict suicide and insanity and failure upon the distressed mortals of mankind, those who have never been taught about their influences nor powers nor know how to combat them. These are the evils of the great ignorance -- or darkness.
There are thousands of defeated, frustrated individuals who have yielded their minds, their lives and often their souls to help bolster the terrifying legions of the realms of destruction. They do not realize that within themselves is the power to combat such darkness and such abhorrent evils. One has but to request that the divine Light, locked within himself, "Stand Forth!" Or if he will only give forth that dynamic, silent command, "Let there be Light" God can indeed do the works -- of overcoming.
Thus it is within the power of every child of earth to use that divine Light of Christ to bring a full measure of peace into his life when apparently there is no peace in all existence. And as one learns to hold himself within this wall of peace the vibrations of darkness are dissipated and dispelled -- they are conquered -- even transmuted forever into light.
Any individual who begins to use these powers of transmutation soon becomes adept in their use. And thus it is possible for him to advance speedily into true mastery.
At first this takes practice. The effort is not in using the divine, inherent powers God vested in man, but in remembering to use them so that instant control might be accomplished. And it is practice that makes perfect.
This is the work of a neophyte or a disciple as he places his own thoughts and reactions under discipline, guarding every emotion and every vibration of his life.
This is not at all difficult. It only takes a very few such triumphant experiences to make one adept in the use of the dynamic control necessary for mastery. Automatically when one has fully comprehended the issues involved and learned to subdue or command vibrations he indeed becomes the master.
This understanding goes beyond thought control. It reaches into and takes hold of the very forces of life itself. "And all things become subject unto him, both the Life and the Light; the Spirit and the Power," etc.
Learn to control vibrations as you exercise your God-given rights and the very secrets of life and glory will become yours to use for the benefit of a world.
So have I been instructed to bear witness. And so can every child of earth prove for himself the truth of these dynamic, eternal promises of Almighty God as he takes hold of them with his mind and lives accordingly.
A neophyte is a disciple or one who begins to discipline himself in his own reactions.
An adept is one who becomes adept or proficient in controlling the vibrations which are hurled at him from without.
A master is one who has gained perfect control of all the vibrations which he himself releases. Such a one becomes powerful indeed for power will be placed in his hands. And only such, trained, worthy ones could possibly be prepared to handle it.
To more speedily be able to use the dynamic vibrations of unlimited power one can begin by practicing the divine and holy art of sending forth the vibrations of pure, compassionate, understanding love. Love is the vehicle in which the Light is carried.
Send love through your eyes to enfold and bless in a caressing warmth of holiness all that your vision beholds. Practice constantly sending love through your tones as you speak. Send love through every cell and fiber of your being until you actually become this love. Or, as an ancient prophet suggested: "Pray with all the energy of heart that you might be possessed of this love -- that it might be well with you . . . ."
And again: "The Fruit of the Tree of Life is the love of God which is shed forth through the hearts of the children of men." If you would partake of the fruit of the Tree of Life and live forever, you must perfect the great love as you permit it to be shed forth through your heart. This is indeed "the fountain of living waters -- which if a man drink thereof he need never die!"
As one seeks ever to increase the flow of love through his own heart the supply increases until it reaches out to bless and heal a world -- then goes on to embrace eternity.
Perfect love is not only the reality of "the life more abundant" it IS that life. And as one perfects this love it becomes "Life Eternal." Within it is contained the power to overcome death. "The wages of sin is death." "The wages of overcoming is Life eternal!" And "Death is the last enemy to be overcome." Uncontrolled vibrations, which are the sired entities of thoughts and emotions, are the first enemy. Death is the last one and will be automatically overcome as the first one is conquered and brought into subjection.
The unspeakable power to banish and overcome death is not only held in the controlling of vibrations but in increasing the power of the righteous ones. And love generates the most powerful vibrations of all. The vibrations of love contains power unspeakable. And every individual can develop and use these unspeakable vibrations for his own release from decay, failure, stagnation and death.
These are the keys of "life and Light and of Spirit and of Power" which become subject unto those who first become neophytes under discipline, then go on to become adept in the glory of perfect mastery. This is the point where "all things truly become subject unto him, both in heaven and on earth!"
The great Light of everlasting power, which holds all progress enfolded in its embrace, is stimulated and brought forth through one's own thought actions. It becomes a permanent reality by continued awareness.
The whole road of glory is traveled by each individual as he begins to accept and fulfill his own purification instead of rushing after others and clinging to their garments, seeking to be carried along on their strength. Whatever degree of righteousness any individual has achieved others may achieve through their own efforts.
This great, creative Light of eternal power is stimulated, increased and brought forth, it is true, through one's own thought actions just as lusts, greeds, hates and jealousies are stimulated and developed by one's own thought actions.
The evil, degenerate books that are being fostered upon the children of men and unselective ignorant, immoral adults hold all the powers of destruction in their vileness. And those who produce them are worse than the Hitlers of the world. The Hitlers, reaching for personal power, destroy only the bodies of men. But those who produce works to stimulate lust, either by books, pictures or in the fields of entertainment are assisting in the destruction of the souls of men. Because they are pleased with such things they think they are pleasing the public. Only those of the lowest moral caliber are pleased. The majority are sickened and revolted. Yet the issue is so subtle and so evil the world stands by in a helpless, inadequate manner of almost stupified inactivity.
Unless those responsible for such laxness and all self-respecting, decent human beings rise up to give battle the whole world will be rocked by the vibrations that are being generated by the greed of individuals who are growing fat on the perverted powers of man. These individuals who are responsible for this growing perversion have become monsters. They are classified as completely sub-mortal or sub-human as they traffic in the souls of the children of men to satisfy their greed for money and luxury. And their gains will perish with them and their souls shall wreathe in the hell of their own regrets.
One more thought I am instructed to add to this work before it is closed and sealed. As one learns to control vibrations he becomes powerful. The Christ, or Light vibrations of love and singing praise and spontaneous, adoring gratitude is the path that leads one to the very throne of God. As one practices sending forth these vibrations and continues to send them out he becomes the love and the light, for "he becomes that which he seeks to interpret."
As soon as any individual has prepared himself, or purified himself, he will be contacted by those in higher authority. He will not need to seek them. They will be sent to him and he will be lifted up and will be ordained of God when he is thoroughly prepared. Then will he be sent forth to fulfill all things in a dynamic power of everlasting glory. And all things will become subject unto him. The Light he has generated within himself becomes his own and he becomes IT. The gift of Life, which is intensified and made perfect will be fully comprehended. It will also become his to command. The Spirit and the power become his to use for the glory of God and for the benefit of man. And "nothing will be impossible to him!"
And now I speak a tender word to those of you who have read the records God instructed me to write, and who have accepted them. As you continue to lend your energies and your power to be-lieve these sacred, pure, holy principles of righteousness you are on that journey of perfection that will fulfill every promise and bestow the fulness of His Light.
And know that I shall be looking forward eagerly to meeting you when your testing is over and you have proved yourself worthy of all that is possible to receive.
