THE RAZOR'S EDGE

Chapter XV

It has been said, and rightly so, that this road of enlightenment is "The Razor's Edge."

It is the fine edged blade that cuts off those who are not willing to make the full sacrifice of the little petty "self". It is the knife that cuts out the weaknesses and failings of those who determinedly cling to its sharpened edge. It is the pruning knife of the Father, who is the husbandman. It cuts away the excesses, the useless leaves, the dead and cluttering branches and twigs, that each living branch might be ever more alive, more perfect and stronger and productive in the bearing of the Fruit of the precious Tree of Life.

Know, beloved, that the season is at hand for this divine Tree of Life to begin to bear its precious fruit. And its fruit is Love! Its fruit is the love of God that is shed forth in the hearts of the children of men. And humanity is the branches, and I Am the Vine.

The pruning knife of the Father is truly the razor's edge. And for those who are not sincere the edge is dangerous. For those who are not aflame with true desire this razor's edge is impossible to cross over. For those who love their faults and failings it is most difficult. For those who love God it is easy and a pathway of glory, though it is a straight and narrow way, and difficult to fulfill, for it is the "overcoming of the self". It is the pathway of Eternal Life. It is the path that leads to the very throne of God and fulfills the great Amen.

Yea, beloved, this razor's edge, this pruning knife of the Father will cut away your excess burdens of failures and weaknesses. As you grow it becomes more sharp and more keen until you become purified by its refining and its pruning. As you, in full consciousness become aware that you are one of the divine branches of the Tree of Life and permit Me to become the Living, life-giving Vine, all the excesses and weaknesses of your being will be pruned away and you will become perfect and glorious.

The words of Isaiah tell of it, describing it as the glorified road to Zion, the pure in heart, or the way of the purification of the heart. "And a highway shall be there, AND A WAY, and It shall be called the way of Holiness; The unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those; The wayfaring man, though fools shall not err therein." And when the pure in heart come to Zion, "They shall come singing songs of everlasting joy." And their joy shall be the Fullness of the Father and in it shall be contained that great inner song of divine ecstasy and love and praise and rejoicing and thanksgiving that will overcome the darkness and negatives and evils. Yea, beloved, and you shall take My Name upon you, my great Unspeakable Name, and you shall be clothed in Light, the Light of my presence.

And the unclean shall not pass over the razor's edge, though fools shall not err therein. For the way is plain, and the path is straight. Yea, I Am the Way, the Truth and the Light.

It is true that few have stood the test of knowing God. And this test is the test of purification. But for you, beloved and anointed, the New Day is dawning and the way will be made easy and you shall have the power to fulfill, for the map to the Highway shall be placed in your hands. Only you must travel it. The journey is yours to make.

My sacred book "Ye Are Gods" revealed the vision to those who had eyes to see and the Holy Spirit of Promise bore witness to the worthy ones that it could be fulfilled in them. And now to fulfill my promise that I would give no commandment save I would prepare the way for its fulfillment, I have spoken these words to you, for you are mine and I know you. I ordained you for this work before ever you were born.

Yea, beloved, my holy anointed, step forth and claim your birthright, for the time is at hand. Be ye a bearer of the Tree of Life that its fruit of divine Love might be shed forth through you. Such is the Fruit that will heal the nations.

And Lo, I Am with you always, even unto the end. Amen and Amen.
