Chapter I

“Live the Teachings and You Will Know”

"Yes, he that repenteth and exerciseth FAITH and bringeth forth good works, and prayeth continually without ceasing unto such is given to know the mysteries of God; yea, unto such it shall be given to reveal things which never have been revealed; yea, and it shall be given unto such to bring thousands of souls to repentance." This glorious Promise was revealed centuries ago and it still stands in all the power of everlasting fulfilling and eternal PROMISE.

And, it is right here that I would like to share some very sacred information. The knowledge contained in the books I have been called to write was given because I had fulfilled the Promise pertaining to them. I would like to explain it more fully. Years ago a very noble "Man of God" gave me this Promise, "Dear Sister, the blessings which God has in store for you are unspeakable, in the fact that we cannot comprehend them at this time!" And my mind and heart and soul opened wide to try and comprehend what these promised blessings would be. And as my life became more and more attuned to prayer and the adoration of God, the knowledge contained in the books I have been instructed to write was unfolded. And these hitherto "unspeakable truths" have not only been "SPOKEN" they have been written and sent forth upon the wind to encompass the earth -- to be shared with anyone who wishes to have a part in these "unspeakable" Promises and blessings. And in the privilege of sharing, my heart melts in a love and humility that is almost overpowering. I have no desire for fame or credits or rewards. I melt with love as my hand reaches out to touch your fingertips with the contact of eternal TRUTH. And God bless you! And may God give you understanding to comprehend His mighty wonders and to accept "His unspeakable blessings" for they are yours.

This particular book is the record that will unfold the dynamic way of fulfilling every Promise of God and every righteous desire of the human heart. This is the great volume promised long ago and which God has been preparing His chosen ones to receive from the very beginning of time. This record contains those "great and marvelous things which have been hid up from the foundations of the world because of the blindness of men's eyes, and the hardness of their hearts, and because of the gross wickedness of unbelief!" And because there are those, who like Columbus, can no longer be shut out from KNOWING, that great, dense, dark veil of unbelief is beginning to be pulled aside.

Within this work is unveiled some of the hitherto "unspeakable, incomprehensible things which eyes have never seen, nor ears heard, nor yet has entered into the heart of man -- those things which God has prepared for THOSE WHO LOVE HIM!"

This sacred Path of fulfilling and of unfolding glory is so clearly revealed and its powers made so plain, that as Isaiah declared, "A FOOL NEED NOT ERR THEREIN, though the wicked can never cross over."

And so, this book is not written for the unbelievers or for those who love not God, or for those who are so sealed in their present beliefs that even God cannot teach them. This work is for the PURE IN HEART, the humble, the teachable, the gracious, evolving sons of God. "It is for those who are hungering and thirsting after righteousness."

This record completely glorifies that "Straight and Narrow Path that leads to Life Eternal!" It is the road to glorious perfection. And every step of this Way is a joy beyond measure.

"But no man is possessor of all things except he be purified and cleansed from all sin.

"And if you are purified and cleansed from all sin, ye shall ask whatsoever you will in the Name of Jesus and it shall be done!"

The word "ZION" remember, means "THE PURE IN HEART!" The road to Zion is the road of the purification of the heart. And only by the purification of the heart can one ever travel it, though a fool need not err therein. This is the Pathway of LOVE in which one practices and learns to love God with all his heart. This is the road of fulfilling. And as one's heart is purified by such dynamic love in action, he will automatically be cleansed from all sin. The very forgiveness of sin can only be accomplished through love as one forgives all who have ever trespassed against him. This is love in action. This contains the power to be cleansed (or forgiven) for all sins. It is beautiful! It is unfailing! It is truth eternal! If you wish to be cleansed from all sin, then love until it reaches out to enfold your trespassers in the glory of your own divine forgiveness. Let old grudges melt away. Let present hurts be dissipated in compassionate understanding. Let mercy caress and enfold all whom your thoughts touch. This is the power to be cleansed from all sin. And with this power all things will become subject unto you -- and you can ask what you will and it will be granted. For in this great outpouring of your love "your minds and lips will have lost the power to hurt or wound and your voice will be heard among the Gods," for you will have joined them in the upward trend of your own divinity.

Yes, "The nearer man approaches perfection the clearer are his views and the greater are his enjoyments, till he has OVERCOME the evils of his life and lost every desire for sin, and like the ancients, arrives at the point of FAITH where he is wrapped in the power and glory of his Maker and is caught up to dwell with Him!"

You say you do not believe this?

Then, my friend, do not continue with the reading of this record for it is not for you.

These "Wayfaring men," which Isaiah speaks of in his thirty-fifth chapter and eighth verse, are those who are traveling onward along a continual pathway of growth and perfecting. And this glorious Pathway is a lighted, Holy trail of ever increasing brilliance. Along its walls are mirrors, magic mirrors, which reveal continually the unfolding light and glory being developed within the individual, not to increase his pride, but to enhance his joy as he draws ever nearer to perfection, in a devotion of love that becomes unutterable in its great outflowing glory. And the man himself becomes perfect as his inward traits are purified.

The door to this glorious Path of joy and gladness and increasing enlightenment and understanding is contained fully in that divine, First, Great Commandment of all power -- LOVE!

"LIVE the laws and you will KNOW!" So said Christ. And no one can possibly KNOW anything unless he himself experiences it. To hear about things and conditions, or of God may become part of one's beliefs, but never becomes a part of his own actual KNOWLEDGE until he experiences it for himself.

Yes, "LIVE that First and Great Commandment and you will KNOW!" And "you will need none to teach you for God Himself will be your teacher!" And to LIVE it does not mean to merely nod one's head over it in an inactive affirmation or casual acceptance of the idea. To fulfill it requires that every cell and fibre and atom of one's being be imbued with it. Only then does it become a part of one's own experience, hence his KNOWLEDGE.

This "LIVING" requires that one embeds those instructions into the living tissues of his heart, his soul and his mind until they not only become a very part of his being, THEY BECOME HIM! And HE BECOMES THAT LOVE! "For he who would interpret the wonders of the Lord would be dissolved and become that which is interpreted."

LIVE that First and Great Commandment and the Second One will follow naturally, without effort or striving. The developing and releasing of LOVE from the heart, soul and mind overcomes all negation, dislikes, fears, ugliness, weaknesses and human, mortal grubbiness, for these traits will be dissolved. And such a one will automatically become that LOVE! "Live the laws!" admonished Christ; "And you will KNOW!" And to KNOW requires the experience of receiving all the knowledge and the PROMISES AND POWERS pertaining to that information.

Man has never accepted the dynamic challenge to LIVE CHRIST'S teaching. Man has only weakly affirmed his inactive endorsement of those teachings as a fullness of acceptance. And many think they are proving their belief by going forth and hammering others with their interpretations as they send forth their haranguements in discordant, sanctimonious self-righteousness. Yet Christ's actual teachings have never been acknowledged as a Way of Life and of fulfillment or an everlasting privilege of stupendous accomplishment, crowned with every reward contained in every Promise ever given since time began.

That First and Great Commandment, when LIVED contains the breathtaking fulfillment of every PROMISE God ever gave, plus all perfection and all power. Within it is held forever the fulfilling of the LOVE which brings into one's life a complete knowledge of the things which Eyes have never seen, nor ears heard, neither hath entered into the heart of man -- those unspeakable glories, which God has PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM -- and prove it by their living of that law pertaining to it.

This fulfilling is not something which can be boasted about, shouted about in worldly sermons or declarations, nor is it fulfilled by a silent nod of approval. This commandment must be LIVED! This requires an exerted effort of constant desire and application until the very cells of the body and brain and heart sing together in a glory of joyous response at the slightest suggestion or thought of God, or of His blessings. It is as that LOVE is developed that it will finally take over in every cell and fibre and tissue that one "Transforms his carnal flesh to flesh divine without descending through the gates of death!" Even as Enoch of old accomplished.

It is as one, like Enoch, "transforms the carnal flesh to flesh divine, without descending through the gates of death," that he arrays himself in the white raiment of eternal glory and is truly "Born of the Spirit!" And the shame of his mortal nakedness, whatever its cause, will be OVERCOME and one will be clothed in Light and will "COMPREHEND ALL THINGS." he will be robed in Light and Love and eternal, everlasting power. And this is the glory of it!

And this is God's plan! And it has always been His plan! And this is the Way Christ traveled. It is the Path He mapped for all mankind to follow if so be they wished to rise above dreary mortality and its consequent evils and dismays and vicissitudes.
