Cleveland, OH

Dearest Ones:

Your letter with $18 in it was a shock. Am salting the $15 toward July’s expenses to Seattle. Under Orders to go to hold Pillar there. Gave up idea of Temple work in Cincinnati because time has been shortened again and everything moving on. West Coast must be held. But I love it and know I’ll be able even though it seemed from the outer that I’d be "flat" and bound here. However, I’ve never paid any attention to the outer in the past.

Leave Buffalo July 8 for Cleveland. Leave Cleveland for Cincinnati July 14 in morning; leave in morning July 16 for Chicago, leave evening of the 16th for Tacoma.

I haven’t paid on one obligation since coming here! And I’m using the $6 to pay on two, just a drop on two but the drop coming often enough shall cover a million obligations. So a mere "thank you" does not cover what’s in my heart at all but I’m writing it and you know its depth, breadth and its height without words.

Your last letter thrilled me, for I do need your love. This is what it tells me, soul conquering at last! So, pray and stand as even with me, knowing this $15 shall grow into my full expenses West.

Had to scratch this note to you, must hustle, still trying to do 150 more columns! Deepest of love always, Edna Miriam

[The following is personal correspondence to a student. She could have written it to you!]

Buffalo, NY

Dear __ :

At last! And this is the first time, since receiving your last two letters, that I’ve been allowed to get so far as getting out paper and pen.

I knew that it was only a matter of time, if you continued in any way at the Temple, until your confusion of thinking and emotions would clear up. Time is such an excellent teacher.

After so much Law is learned, then for a season applied, there always comes the ‘worldly mission’ where we must prove every step of Law we’ve thought about, let alone taught.

Of course, many tragedies occur along the way, owing to intense egotistic leanings, or equally intense opinions and prejudices. Perhaps these last are worse to work out of than the former.

Anyway, you and I have come through this ‘Red Sea’ of materialism, at least as far as we now are, and the supposition is that we have what it takes to climb the rest of the way.

I’m leaving here on Tuesday morning, July 7th, for Cleveland — be there until Tuesday July 14th. Then to Cincinnati for two days — leave Chicago on the evening of the 16th for Seattle and my Ted.

Sunday, the 12th, am knowing you can make it for the Service. We must build our new Vibrations. Be sure and call me. We also should get together this time without fail — personally and privately.

There is much more to come through for you if you so desire now. I’m so happy over you and your unfoldment. Carry on. One day our ‘Golden’ Book of Life shall go into print. Will that day thrill us?

My deep love, and a new mantle of Love over you

Sincerely always, Edna Miriam

Cleveland, OH

Dearest and Most Beloved Group:

It is always with a deep pulling at my heartstrings that I leave you, especially this time. These few months have been truly glorious and every minute has been a joy. I’d planned so many hours to be with you for just pleasure and visiting, yet something interfered each time. I never have enough of you, even when we spend the better part of two days together.

Wasn’t Sunday beautiful? Aren’t we happy? I’m positive that "all is well." I am going to work harder this year than ever before for the fulfillment of our dreams. Shall dig at my Column and know that release is now touching each one of us — all our dream-desires being fulfilled.

Something great is here. Please watch everything closely and let me know, because when I write, I’ve no time to read! Just can’t do both simultaneously! Hold every point we’ve gained. Stand with me for our full Glory in outer expression. Pray with greater diligence and fervor.

I love, love, love you always. Your own, Edna Miriam

Cleveland, OH

My Precious Group:

I can leave any place easier than you folks. Only Orders could cause me to do it. I love you all very deeply and very dearly.

Remember, each of YOU is important to our nation and world at this hour. No one can ever know when one prayer may tip the scales for conquering. Let us be ever alert and pray without ceasing, for we cannot have as our own anything we do not give. Prayer does return to us as added things. It does come home. Strong prayers of faith are needed as never before. We can do this wherever we are working.

Choose anew to be more fervent and steadfast, more faithful and more loving. A little more faith is possible. A little more love is possible and the duo is unbeatable. They create. So, we stand and DO.

I love you so very dearly. Your very own, Edna Miriam

Cincinnati, OH

Beloved Ones:

Am getting this in Post Office and then praying you’ll receive it in time.

Am so happy over everything. Watch closely between now and the 14th of August — something momentous is happening. More later.

"I am now established in Joy." Pray — Praise — Singing in Joy will do it — anything.

Deepest of love, Edna Miriam

Cincinnati, OH

My Beloved Flock in Christ:

There is but one way to live, one way to climb, one way to grow and unfold, one method to achieve: Prayer, Praise and Singing.

When Joy sings its song in the heart, anything is possible, anything can be done. Where that Joy is released on song, it makes Miracle upon Miracle. It is only when there is no release of Joy as song that things get dark and we become bored with life.

Forever and forever your ability can always equal your desires. Forever you can draw upon unknown strength to do things when your Desire is a Flame of Glory. It is your determination that equals X, the unknown quality of your achievement. Keep determination piped to your effort and you’ll win! Let X be your crossing out of indifference. Let X equal indifference and "let" determination equal desire. This can win. It shall win.

All my deepest love, Edna Miriam

Chicago, IL

Beloved Ones:

Editor of Western Union weeklies likes my column. Said, "You’ve an idea, well presented, complete, compact, no waste words or space." Can’t pay much. Royalty. But I’m pretty sure he’ll take ‘em. Left him 57, to cover a year’s column. And, he gave me the name of Seattle Star Editor. Went there from his desk here! So, I am positive we’re off — anything will be better than nothing — and from here on we’ll GO!

Remember I love you. Everything is beautiful. Writing soon.

Love to all, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My extra-precious Ones:

I miss you ever more each hour I’m away from you, but we can pray and sing and praise and be together at night.

This is your time of acceptance and Glory. Full surrender and acceptance shall be a Glory and an Ascension. There is need for greater Ascension and surrender to achieve this Ascension. Accept in ever greater fullness your need to release more Power of Love. Accept your greater ability, even now, to do this. This acceptance of greater usefulness shall cause greater Power to flow through you in conquering all darkness. And it shall return to you to fill your creations with life.

This shall be your Glory: that you have fulfilled Law and promises. This shall be your full exaltation and it comes to you even now.

With all my love forever, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My dearest Friends:

It seems longer than three weeks since I left you. In some ways it seems a year. I can understand "Joshua and the sun standing still." Time seems longer when much is accomplished and many things happen.

Ted is getting partially filled up. He was one hungry boy. He’d been working too hard to do anything except open a ‘can.’ Not very satisfying after three months.

Am in a dither of everything. Cooking for Ted tomorrow. Getting ready to go to Tacoma, up at 5:00 a.m.! And, all my letters, yesterday I spent from 3:00 p.m. until 11:00 p.m. just cleaning, unpacking and trying to squeeze things in — we’ve no chest of drawers and Ted hasn’t had tools or time to put shelves in clothes’ closets — none there when we came in, and that’s awful!

Anyway, I’m busy, in case you wonder what I’m doing!

It isn’t quite so hot today, and a good thing, because I’ve been struggling with another batch of "Column." To get into it again in a new environment is difficult for me.

Can’t see ahead as to the "how" of doing all I must do before I return. But I’m just going to march steadily on, hour by hour, doing my best to fill each one full of tasks well done.

Wish you could see "my" mountain. It looks exactly like the picture I had on a calendar, which I showed to some of you.

It is 6:30 p.m. I have several letters to do, proofreading of eight columns, and a trip to Post Office — takes two hours any way I figure it. So, all my deep love, my dears. Your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My So dear and precious friends:

To hold this Coast is about all we’ve done these weeks. The heavy work is holding the earth-disturbances back to keep from having it get out of hand and destroy the Elect, rather than the enemies of Truth. So, we must do all we have been doing, plus all we can crowd into every hour now coming. Pray, Praise and Sing through the Light, enough to really overcome the darkness.

To be read at every meeting in August: By looking upward you shall receive great revelations. Yet, for every seeking and release of a Mystery of Wisdom, even a small one, you must assume ever higher responsibility to become perfect as your great Father is perfect. If you do not desire to be perfect or seek truth just to be wise, then a gate bars your progress into Wisdom.

It is of Wisdom to know. It is of Love to understand. When Wisdom is greater than Love, then knowing is greater than understanding and there is no compassion to cover the transgressions of others. The desire to parade that knowing grows, wisely and unwisely, an intolerance for others and their knowledge, a coldness of intellect that bars the way. Intellect is that gate, put there not by the Father but by seeking greater Wisdom without giving enough Love for that Wisdom.

Wisdom is God’s Bank. Forcing Wisdom is robbing God’s Bank, unless one has deposited plenty of Love. Put in the Love deposits: Love for God, Love for neighbor, Love for humanity, Love for the ways of others to lift self into soul responsibility. Manifold are the Loves to be deposited before you may lawfully withdraw Wisdom.

Wisdom may be courted only by Love. It must be wooed as a jealous mistress. It brooks no doubts nor whys. To hold Wisdom fast and receive more, one must be constant in devotion, praise and the Joy of Prayer.

Love is purchased with the great price of sacrifice of self, with full surrender of self. Only lifting self makes room to receive Wisdom. It may not be had for the asking only, nor for fevered, constant seeking. Only Love opens all doors, burns down all barriers, makes dark into Light and fulfills all Law. Make your sacrifice unto Love and Wisdom gives full knowledge of your fullness of responsibility.

To seek Wisdom without lifting and being fully responsible deadens those delicate nerves and glands of the head until all that is left is the ability to seek and tell again that small portion of Wisdom yet retained, which, too, is finally given away in words until only seeking and no Wisdom is left.

Look up, lift all up, hold all up high unto the Master and let him make it into the fullness of all Light. Remember how deeply I love you, each and all. Your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My Very Dearest Ones:

This is for my extra-precious ones, each of you a treasure right now, right where you are "DOING."

To have to leave you is hard and yet, if I did not leave, you never would exercise your own wings. And you must learn to use your own abilities for seeing and hearing.

First of all, remember that you do both of these from the time you are conscious, after reaching earth. You do both whenever there is some unusual need for extra faculties — usually under fear or great stress, unexpected.

With all of you, at the present time, it is a "sense of knowing." This is purely spiritual-intuition. For a while it remains like this, but as you continue "looking" and "listening," it reaches down into the actual physical nerves that function the "All Seeing Eye," and then, vaguely and dimly at first, gradually growing stronger, you begin to see the forms — "like unto a Son of Man."

At this stage a "doubt" or "why" sort of scares it away! And you are always doing one of these two, or both. So, just "keep on keeping on" and someday, inevitably, you can’t avoid seeing and hearing. Just keep on.

Remember, I love you, each one, deeply and dearly, and my arms are around you at all times. Your own in love, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved and Most Perfect Ones:

Words fail me to tell you of my deep love for you. Or how I miss each of you and your smiles and laughter. My heart needs you and enfolds you and lifts you very, very high.

Am busy — trying to write. It just doesn’t mix so well with house-cleaning! I love both and enjoy doing both. Just wish again for more hours a day! Then I could make "hours" and "work" meet.

"Love shall fulfill the Law of Glory for earth now. Love shall fulfill the Law of Glory for you now. Love shall fulfill the Law of Glory for me now."

My love goes on and on forever. I’m lifting and knowing all Glory for each of you. Deepest love, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My dearest and most Beloved Friends:

In the outer I miss you tremendously, but we are always together on the Inner and last night we certainly laughed in the Gardens. Never was there so beautiful a night spent. Everyone was through with Initiations — midsummer — and so very happy over gaining so much. Remember, Joy must be used as smiles, laughter and Praise of Songs. You can’t use enough this way.

I’m loving you so very deeply and dearly, and know all is well. Everything each of us has ever asked, prayed or imagined is about to be made manifest on the outer. So, stand, hold, laugh, love and Praise. You do KNOW HOW — WHAT — WHY — WHERE AND WHEN.

I love you all so very dearly. Your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My Glorious Ones:

We are ONE with each other and we have WON new robes and crowns for our midsummer initiations. "Over there," we all know, and our freedom is complete. We have no "whys" and we do not "wonder" about anything.

We serve and then we play and how we play! For the last five nights the laughter has been so beautiful, like laughing blue-bells and Madonna lilies, twinkling and exquisite with Joy.

Carry on as if you could both see and hear every tiny thing you do at night. You are free to do both. It just takes definite time and effort to bring it through. It comes not on dull, serious intolerance or pride of attainment but on the Logos of Joy. Be more and more Joyous. I love you all very dearly, Edna Miriam

P.S. I’m lonesome for you-all.

Seattle, WA

Belovedest:

I love you, I love you with all my heart. We’ve always been together and we always will be together.

Hold fast to your "wishes." Allow nothing to cause you to let go of your Point of Contact, nothing. Take these heavenly gains from your lives and what have you left? Where would you go for assurance, confidence, strength and understanding?

Hold all your gains. If by any chance something of the world does cause you to let go, just reach up again and grab hold of your live wire from your Source. Waste no time in vain self-condemnation or foolish grief. Just grieve enough to go to the Mercy Seat in repentance. Grieve properly for allowing any silly thing to cause you to lose a moment’s time but grieve while "praising up, looking up, lifting up and holding up." We can always climb back, but let’s just climb!

Remember, I’m with you. I love you. I hold and understand you. Deep love to each of you. Am going to write each of you, special. Love and deep blessings, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My Dearest and Most Beloved:

The weeks do fly by and hours, though crammed full, never finish everything. My desire is to write each one of you a special letter. It will come. This has nothing to do with my love, I mean, it is not the great measure of my love. That grows so very much deeper all the time. Please remember this — always.

This afternoon’s paper tells of the Allied "Commandos" raid on France. They are getting ready. They’ve learned how. They are drawing out information about the strength or weakness of the Axis. From now on, the Allies will hold practically every line. The Nazis may gain a few short distances, but they’ll not gain enough to count. And they are not much better prepared for winter than before. Although, same. They expected to take over all Russia’s clothing factories long before this to supply their forces with winter garb!

They can’t do much more than just hold all lines. The rest of 1942 and another four to six months of ‘43 will be used to "ferry" supplies of all kinds to strategic points. And one day we’ll do this same thing from South Africa, France — south point, Norway and Siberia, Manchuria, China, and all Islands from both Australia and India and Vladivostok north point. And, of course, Solomon Islands. We’ll hold those now.

Hold all gains. Make all walled in Light. I love, love, love you most dearly. Your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Dearest Friends:

The further we go, the greater our conviction is that Love is all there is to KNOW or to BE or to DO. Enough Love deposited means plenty of everything else to draw out. All we need to do is to love all barriers away.

I’m waiting for "Orders." And if they are what I’m "feeling" now, they’ll be quite a shock — surprise for all of us. Last week I wrote about 21 letters. Thursday in Tacoma. This week, 17 Columns besides window-washing and "regular" housework and meals. Today letters again. So, I’m hustling right along. And "waiting on the Lord" — Orders — in the "High Place." Probably come through these next few days.

Meantime, hold everything. Labor Day most important ever. Pray, enfold, lift. We must hold all gains. We are the ones to release the Power. We are the ones to hold and stand. We — all who pray, doing their part — have so far, made good. Let’s get into a "huddle" of Love and know Light through and know our own creations are gloriously good.

"I am now gloriously irresistibly expectant and joyously, fervently knowing."

All my deep love, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Dear hearts:

Am writing you fully as to plans and ways and means. I’ve waited until last Thursday for any kind of Orders. Received nothing. Then Ted tells me that his Draft number is coming up within six weeks to two months and that he’s sure to be called, since they’ve taken 500 others right around him. And, he didn’t ask me to wait until I knew, but I knew at once my choice must be to wait here until then. For I couldn’t get back again in two months, just wouldn’t be able to raise enough money. So, the outer sensible thing to do would be to wait, so I can pack and rent or whatever and hold this house for Ted.

After seeing this, I went for Orders. They came, hot and heavy. Also, exactly what I must do here. I was — am — needed on this Northwest Point. Also, I am to do something here in Seattle.

So, I am staying on here; Buffalo and Cleveland can get on without my presence and I can make Ted’s last days at home lovely. It will be easy for outsiders to understand that I’d have to be with him as long as possible after losing Russell. Doesn’t God work it out beautifully?

Meantime, I’ve slowly whipping my column into shape. And one of these days I’ll have that bringing in my large income. I know.

I miss you so much! Your love and appreciation and standing means more to me than I can say in words. I love the fact that you do want to aid me if you can and I love it and appreciate it. You know this. Meantime, accept my love, my blessings, my holding and my lifting.

Your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My So Dear and Precious Ones:

To say, "I miss you" is so trite a phrase and it is so empty, but it is the only one to use for just this — I do miss every one of you more than I can say. Yet, I must stay here until Ted leaves. I left him when he was eleven to do God’s work as it has been given me to do, and then for years I had to be away from both boys.

Russell is gone. I’ve only Ted, on the outer. And God is very good to me to allow me these weeks with him. His first reclassification papers came today. He wants to go, and I want him too, to do his share, but I know you will all understand my need to be here with him now, though I promised to come back on the 18th of this month.

Remember how deeply I love you and that I am lifting you high into the Light, that my arms are about you in deep love, that we are all marching "Forward, onward, upward in Joy that is irresistible and expectant, in Love Unquenchable, in Faith Unconquerable."

All my deep, deep love. Your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved and dear, dear friends:

Isn’t God good to me to allow me to be with Ted until this is settled? I do not see from here just how I could have stood being away from him these next few weeks. His first papers came today from the Draft Board on his reclassification.

Plus Orders: Too dangerous about earthquakes here. Something "big" almost ready to pop! Not shown as yet. Just help release power for holding as is now. It must not be too soon. Both Coasts, harder than ever.

Hold together in love as never before. More important from now until November 1st than at any time previous. Hold. Love. Stand. Let Faith be Unconquerable.

Ted wants to go, so I want him to do his full share, regardless, only I’m so grateful to the Father, allowing me to be here for these weeks. Isn’t God good to me? To us? I love your love. I do miss you and we’ll have a real reunion this time, when I get there, won’t we?

Remember, I love you. Be sure to pray hard and to love more and more. All we need now is more love and more Praise.

With all my heart and love, your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved and so sweet Ones:

Pray and fast from outer things this week. So hard. It is so important and so necessary to have one Group which can stand together in absolute and in complete love — together and I know our love bears this great quality of "togetherness" for each other, and with all of us, in our love for and devotion to God.

"Love shall fulfill the Law of Glory for earth now. Love shall fulfill the Law of Glory for you now. Love shall fulfill the Law of Glory for me now."

Remember, I am with you in person NOW as you read this. I shall write each one!

All my love, my dears, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My So Beloved Ones:

My heart is with you as you open our "New" Cycle Vibration. It was about the hardest thing I ever did in following Orders last Spring, when they came through — "Move." We’d been so happy. Yet now that the "vision and text" for the Orders, now fulfilled and past, has come through, it is very clear. It had to be closed out — the "Old Cycle," in just this past way.

Let’s move all our hearts, all our minds, all our bodies and affairs into our new building-mold. Let’s let our souls do our "hearing," our "seeing" and our "speaking." Let’s take the three little "monkeys" as our symbol for this Fall’s new work.

Most of all, let’s build love between each other, love in which there is no criticism at all, no condemnation at all for either self or others. Let’s do our very best each moment and truly leave the rest to the Father. We must be free to follow Orders "whenever," "whatever" and "wherever!" That must be the greatest thing in our minds and hearts.

Let’s never again ask "why" we are not an outer, popular group. Let’s go forward in Love, knowing that right now we are truly building the Great Foundation for our New Outer Temple, in due season and then not ask "when," but just let every word and sermon dig out old debris for the New Foundation. When we’ve done our work, we’ll have the new. We do know this.

"I now use all the Joy my Father gives unto me, AS JOY. In this Joy lies my present strength."

I shall be with you. You’ll feel me close. I love you deeply and ever. Your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved of God:

This is your Day of new choice. Whether you choose to "settle down" into the old ruts and places or whether you choose to "work up" into higher Light and Glories, our motto for the week is:

"Wake up, oh my soul. Work up, oh my soul. Be ye exalted higher with an exceeding great Glory and be ye One with the Soul of God."

I am loving you. Holding you. Lifting you in Unconquerable Faith into Glory and perfection NOW.

My deep love. Your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My Beloved Group:

Can’t you hear the Song in my Heart? It is once more singing as it has not since I got pushed out of the nest in 1937. But now its Song mounts to the heights above and my Praise knows no limits in its Exaltation.

We have won this Round with the darkness being made anew right now by those who think to be God, and we’ve conquered all that past Karma released through the Gates since January 12th. All the misused Substance has been made into Light again and all the force has again been returned to wait for that next time of release when it will swing the New Age into Power and Glory.

"We are ONE in LOVE NOW. We are ONE in PURPOSE NOW."

Let Praise move mountains. Let Songs of Praise release Power to bring our new creations fully forth into the outer expression of form. Praise can and does "bring to pass." This week is our PRAISE week, 24 hours a day. If you awaken in the night with a Song of Praise on your lips, then you will know your daytime praise is hot enough.

Deep love from a singing heart, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My dearest Group:

I’m loving you so very dearly, surely, surely you can feel it surrounding you every minute.

I’ve been unable to do all the letters I wanted to do this week, but I’ve done much better — I’m only four months behind, instead of six!

Hold everything, especially each other, very high. Let Love Plan and let Praise Create for you. Love can only Plan to send more of itself forth in greater Joy each hour. Be happy and know that Faith is Unconquerable.

I love you so much. Your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My so dearest:

I never can write to tell you of all the Love in my heart for each one of you, nor the delight of knowing that you are so very constant and steadfast to the Ways of Truth, which are the true "Inner" of the Master’s work.

Thank you, a large one to fill the sky, for helping me to get my winter coat before it is too cold. As I have said, I now say again: You are precious.

I love you all SO. Deep love, high Joy and Unconquerable Faith be yours.

Your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved and Glorious Friends:

My gratitude and my love cover the miles between us in a blanket of Light. Surely you can feel how my heart yearns for you and how much I miss you. Every moment you are in my thoughts, and my praise for your love for me wings itself to our Father. I love you, and thank you for your help, and when my coats finally cover my anatomy below my waistline, I’ll be even more fervent! At present, I’m only warm enough above it. I can wear my fur jacket over my summer coat!

If we can all Praise enough during the coming week, I know our desires shall be fulfilled. Just enough Praise. Praise for what we truly want. Praise for the things we do not want, saying: "You’ve been a fine lesson (old hearts, bodies or affairs) but now you are lifted, melted, dissolved and you make full room for all the new!"

Even your vague "wishes" shall grow up into burning, flaming desires, because a faint "wish" is a "baby desire." So, let’s go! Praise enough. More and more Praise!

I love you deeply and dearly and I do miss you so much! You own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved "little" Ones of Love and Light:

My arms are around you so hard, can’t you feel them? Can’t you feel me close to you always? I love you and I do know Glory for you. Your words shall stand fast. Your eyes shall be open. Your ears shall hear beyond earth’s noises! Your hearts shall swell in loyal gratitude until the Heavens resound with your Songs of Praise.

You ARE Chosen. Therefore, put on the whole Armor of Light. It is yours now — to use. Let Praise echo between you and God. Let Love vitalize and quicken every spot in your life, your body and in your affairs. Sometimes we allow our body and affairs to stagnate and almost die, but the same life that gave us the first idea, that opened a business in the first place, can again make it alive. IF we grow hot enough in our Praise.

Lukewarm Praise produces lukewarm results. Let’s burn. Let’s flame. Let’s sizzle and be consumed by the full heat of the White Light of the Christ.

I am holding you closely and love you deeply and ever more dearly. ENOUGH PRAISE.

Ever your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved:

Our keynote for the next 30 days is the very old, simple word: Praise. Praise whips Joy into a Flame of Glory. Praise quickens the heart into a Flame of Love. Praise vitalizes any dying thing, whether a deadened or paralyzed cell of the body or a crystallized and paralyzed business. Praise fills the Form invisible of our creations until it becomes visible. Praise moves the Love Substance forth to become our Creations. Praise is the key to the finished Kingdom here and NOW.

So, let’s take advantage of these absolute facts and use Praise. Praise is the ONE thing we may USE as hard as we like with not one result of force. It is given us freely to use freely.

Let’s do thing one thing now. PRAISE. Our results with Praise are in exact ration to our use of Praise. The heat with which we Praise determines the result on the other end: our Miracle. Let’s Praise ENOUGH this time!

With my whole Love. Your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved Ones:

Your decision to carry on has made the Joy Bells ring in Heaven and special feasts and credits have been given all of you. Remember, it is the concentrated quality of our prayers of Praise, our songs of Joy and our love releasing Power, which we have always known was required of us as Elect, that counts for us — never numbers or being seen or heard of men.

It is always hard for me when I must stand aside without a hint as to what your Inner Orders are, and then, stand and pray and watch, while you work out your own salvation. So, when you make the "right choice" and choose to stand and hold, it gives me a real thrill and Joy, which you, too, someday will know, to see those whom you have aided and trained carry on and through all outer things.

You are building a glorious vibration. While others are still seeking for the "self of earth," you are building a vibration to raise earth and let Power use you, and so finding a high soul vibration, which will last forever.

Your motto for the week is: "I am now FREE with that freedom that comes from knowing how to stand."

Do you know how deeply I love you? Do you realize how I miss you? But I’m here, holding the 3rd outer Gate. I am doing my work while under Orders. So are you! Stand with me in Love.

Always your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My Darlings:

We are free! We are winning! We have won thus far! Lines are now holding and we shall go forward. TOGETHER. Pray and above all, Praise. Sing Psalms of Joy NOW! Whatever songs you know, sing this instant and hum them if you have no words, but sing! Create a new Vibration now. By singing. Even a "Millionaire"! Vibrations are holding but must be stronger.

I love, love, love you! Ever your own, Edna Miriam

P.S. Perhaps some day I can tell you of the Glories revealed unto me this day. I’m above that White Point of Heat!

Seattle, WA

Beloved "All":

I am loving you so dearly. Yet we can tolerate no spots of dry rot in the heart. We can do our work with one or two or three or more, if those together have only love, and in it no doubts — and love for each other, and in it no jealousy or intolerance. All we need is Prayer of Love, Songs of Joy, Psalms of Praise. Enough of them.

I’ll be with you. Deep love, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved Ones:

Let your Light so shine! In Joy, in Love and let Unconquerable Faith be your great strength, your only answer and your confidence.

Love enough. It shall melt all obstacles, all barriers, any limitation. I am with you in Faith believing and we shall see the Glory of the Law working NOW. "I am now safe in Faith Unconquerable."

Your own in Love abiding, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved and so dear Ones:

My Faithful Ones, I call you in my heart. God is so good to us because He does hold us together with His Everlasting Love. We cannot love enough, Praise enough or laugh enough. Has your Praise been tops this week? Has your love been even "boiling"? Or has it only touched the White Point of Heat a few times? It takes at least the boiling point to accomplish enough.

Praise is the stuff of which our success is made. We have to hunt the timber, cut it down, cut it into lumber, then form what we desire. All good, hard work, not dawdling along.

Let’s work at our success NOW. Together. Let’s increase our quality and quantity. Let’s speed up!

Remember how deeply and dearly I love you, my precious ones. Your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My Most Beloved Ones:

You are truly wonderful, no less. You have learned one lesson well: to accept.

The first lesson is always: "I accept."

The second lesson is always: "Let Power fill it, make it over, recreate it, vitalize it, open this door, move this mountain, fill with strength." Add anything you need under this "Let" as a statement.

The third lesson is always: "Thank you, Father, it is so. It is finished." And then again, "Let it be so."

This looks simple but it is one of life’s hard simples. To keep it up day after day, week after week means a determination that few people have developed. This is the full formula, though thousands of words can be said about it. "I accept. I let. I praise without ceasing."

I love you with a deep and abiding devotion and I’m holding you in my heart and in my arms. I am busy, without doubt busier than ever before in my life. But I am not leaving you. I am coming toward you!

With deep love. Ever yours, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved friends:

It seems only a moment ago that I wrote "September 21st." Just can’t see where these four weeks have gone, because my accomplishment in writing is nil. Had "Orders" to rewrite my Column. Work it over and try to push it here.

I’ve cleaned and cleaned and cleaned. Cobwebs ‘n dust in attic two inches deep and it’s large. Then that freight came! I just chucked it in! But I’ve had to handle it, paper by paper. So, I’m getting my "house" and my papers in order for the first time since 1935! It gives me a deep satisfaction inside, for it hurts me when my things aren’t in order, and between East and West, and moving dozens of times while in the East, I had reached the place where I couldn’t find anything. You’d be surprised at the lost articles I’ve found again!

And now, a friend of Ted’s has given him a pup, and I’m being "Mommy" to her — I’m "house-breaking" her — I hope.

I feel that great things are coming through soon. It has puzzled me greatly that Classes were closed out after the last Karma was released. When the 7th Seal was broken, something greater occurred than we’ve yet been given. I’m positive of this in my own experience this late summer and early fall. They have been tremendous and high. Yet the "tablets" on them for the rest of you have not been given me. I’m sure it means that we had to have the others "in" and "out" again to tie them to their original "life wave," and then, once this was accomplished, our own vibrations had to be built all over again. So, I say, I feel things will be coming through now soon — if not sooner. May be something today, since I’m under Orders to do all my own writing.

Remember how deeply and dearly I love all of you and know we’ll have grand times when I return East. Ted is still waiting. They keep everyone suspended so long.

My love for you all grows. Your own, Edna Miriam

P.S. My "Pup" just got tangled under the basement stairs behind three posts and wound up tight. Have her on a leash and wire in the yard, but she can come in to her bed!

Beloved Ones:

I love you! Forever!

"I now ascend into the Light, where I wait upon the Lord while I work out my salvation."

When you go into a store for something, you want someone to "wait" upon you. When you go to a restaurant, you want a "waiter." These "waiters" are giving service. So, when we wait upon the Lord, we are "waiters" upon Him! How do we wait upon Him?

He comes to us only for prayer and praise and singing. Do we give it to Him as good waiters? What kind of servants are we in our "waiting upon Him?" This is up to each of us. We can be good or indifferent "waiters." Personally, I’m a 100%-er about my "waiting." The Master was a "1,000%-er." What about you? I’m under addition and multiplication. Are you? In "waiting?"

How I love you all. Your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved o’ My Heart:

I am so happy. High Gates stand open. Praise ascends the soul for travel. Take advantage of it. Prayer and Praise and Singing are our only needed tools.

Great Power is being released. Let’s see that it is directed through us into every place or thing we’ve ever treated in the past and all new places.

I shall be standing in your midst Friday night. Glory of the Lord shall be blinding. Let’s pray our vibration up far enough to be worthy. I know you’ll see! All my ever-growing, deep love. Your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Dearest Ones:

A little more prayer, a little more Praise — a little more love and we win!

I love, love, love you, Edna Miriam

My Precious and Beloved:

Do you know how glorious God’s Glory really is right now? Do you know how miraculously His glorious Light can shine as you? Upon all your creations, your spot?

His Glory makes darkness into Light. His Glory turns the common and sordid into beauty beyond compare. His Glory makes free our lives. It makes weakness into strength. It turns defeat into success. How do you know this? In a lukewarm, lackadaisical way? Or are you in very truth fervently expectant? Joyously, gloriously in love with His Glory?

"Glory for you and Glory for me." Plenty for all. Praise with me. Pray with me. Sing and shout Psalms of Joy with me. Love, oh love with me. Enough Love. Great Love. Glorious Love. Healing Love. Joyous Love. Faithful Love. Beautiful, surrendered Love. Powerful Love. With me, for Him.

All my love forever, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved:

Enough Love shall set us all free. Enough Praise shall cover all transgressions in Light. Enough Praise shall now make visible all our present and past desires. They shall assume visible form now.

Can you pray with me enough? I am in your midst, loving, lifting, praying.

I love you deeply, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved of God,

Greetings and my deep love. This is a week of Glory. The Joy-Glory of Jesus’ Love is now pouring forth. The Vibration between now and Christmas shall be stepped up a million-fold greater than ever before.

Everyone still faithful has passed, and is ready to release the full Shekinah Glory of God. Yet, should anyone fail to hold this gained High Point, the Father must turn off the Power to hold that one’s body safe for his future work here on earth.

Oh, let’s work together as One. Let’s hold fast every point gained. Let’s truly be the servants of ALL the Power for once! We can work together as One, build a Vibration glorious beyond words. For Revelations are now due when Points are secure.

I love you above all. I love you deeply, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved of my Heart:

Years are beautiful. Do you believe this? That every year has added a wing to your body for Ascension? DO YOU? Each year has added and multiplied your Joy, your Love, your Desire for perfection. Hasn’t it?

All right then, YOU are NOW beautiful! Feel beautiful inside. Express in beauty always. Voice-tone and sweetness, laughter bubbling with Joy, compassion enveloping your expression of love. So shall it be unto you. A beautiful life in a beautiful year!

"I am NOW bubbling inside with a beautiful feeling. I am now become as a Fountain of Beauty."

I love you in deep devotion. Your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved Ones:

Rest awhile. Ponder upon Beauty of Soul. Then tend this Beauty as a Shrine. Feed upon it, and then feed it with Joy.

Be Beautiful as Life is Beauty. Express Beauty with eyes, with lips, in thoughts, Praise and Love to God.

I love you, Edna Miriam

Belovedest:

Am I happy? Our FDR has his detractors in the hollow of his hands, convicted and hoisted on their own petard. They’ve shouted for "information," and action, a second front. Here it is — if they do not back him now, they convict themselves of un-Americanism and personal antagonism against our President, allowing them to fail in protecting their own boys. Hooray!

And, is he slick? Churchill giving FDR the credit. It is our President’s on the Inner guiding him in this — he’ll bite a chunk at a time, taking it all back. South of France weak spot. Axis will have to spare troops to protect. They’ll take Greece — Italy, then contact Mikhailovich [resistance fighter] in Yugoslavia! Then also from Ireland to point on France where they are nearly ready. Arming Free French from there now. This is why Stalin and Russians have put up such a battle! Watch closely now. Pray Light. Hold. We’re winning! We’ll lose some, in spots, but next year will begin our slow drive back.

I love you, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved of My Soul:

If I could but find new words and new ways to tell you how deeply and how dearly I love each of you. Words fail me but I could show you with my arms and my eyes!

Can you see the "salvation of the Lord" in all this? Our invincible new front? From the tip of South Africa to the Mediterranean. Can you see Ephraim and Manasseh [England and America] coming together? From the opening of an Age to its close.

Many prophecies given have again been set aside because the Children of Israel have once more turned unto the Lord. It seems a long time since I came West but my Love enfolds you with greater Power each week as it goes by. Thank you all for your love and for your faithfulness to our small but earnest Group.

This week is a sacrifice to become ready for the Christ Child Joy and release of Power to fulfill all promises. What can you sacrifice of self? Of holding to things? Of grief or sorrow over delay? Of tiny doubts or fears? Search and release them all over again.

"Today I let go of all past negative things and move into the Light forever."

I love, love, love you. Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My Dearest Beloved:

Thirty days of precious Sacrifice are ours. To gain untold ability to "see" and to "hear!" The Kingdom is now open. Let’s "let go" of all earth while we work out our very great Salvation here below. Let’s prostrate ourselves, each of us, hourly before God’s Altar in love for Him.

Let’s let love fulfill the Law for us. It does work. Though we face the worst earth could do. Yet can He change it. When men are saying "no," He can send men to say, "yes."

It is SO and all else is a lie. "God is, and God, He doeth the work."

I love you, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved of my Soul:

Rejoice with me. Ted has been deferred, and he’s detailed to special duty and work, also. I’m positive this is "why" — or one of them — I’ve been held here.

So, God is good. He does the work. He plans for us, even when we think we have made all the plans. We do know what to do next. We rejoice and Praise God that He does know what we need and He does plan way ahead for us, even before we begin to plan in the outer. So, only good can come to us. We do know how to Praise next. Let’s Praise and rejoice and thank God that He DOES say YES.

I miss you all SO. I never have a birthday when I’m not with you, and this is my "13" year: 58! Wings!!

All my deepest love. Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My So Dear Ones:

Tonight is to be spent in rejoicing. In Prayers of Rejoicing, in Psalms of Rejoicing. Pray and Praise and Sing.

Surround our forces in North Africa. Surround Darlan [French admiral and politician] — English people — Free French. Darlan shall keep his word.

I love, love, love you. Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Dearest, dearest Ones:

Your Faith hath held through the bitter battles over darkness succumbing unto light. Light has truly won and so shall truly win forever. Light has been loosed for Earth’s full lifting back into the Sign of Ascension.

Peace shall run like a River into the hearts of the Children of Men. Deserts shall blossom in fruits and flowers. Swamps shall dry up and biting, stinging creatures shall be no more.

It is the Light of "Fire and Glory" of the Ascension. It means the second Christos Degree for the whole Group. And those of you in its Descent, become fully responsible as "Fathers" and "Mothers" for all of the rest. It means to be as forgiving as God, who knows not the term, because He can’t see anything to forgive. It means continuous holding and lifting of any who have ever touched the Group. They are all on an elastic, and someday will be back. Experience must not only be fully garnered, but also many unfinished debts must be paid on the outer. So, each one is free. To carry their torch. Yet, it is very necessary for us to be faithful in our minds and in our hearts to these Truths which have been given to us "behind the Veil." So, be grateful, be alert in Sacrifice. We now have 30 days of it before our Joy can be filled unto the "fulfilling" point.

How deeply I love you all. Forever, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My So Beloved Ones:

I am so happy! It seems that my heart will burst with its load of Joy. It flows out and envelopes you in a cloud of Glory. I love you.

Let us resolve to release more Light. Let’s let our torches flare up into great Lights, which will speed up all things, more and more. You and I are ready to surrender to be the ever greater servant of more and more Power, aren’t we?

"Here am I, O Lord, send me forth to conquer in thy name. Let my service be great and let me be humble in my acceptance of it. Let all Power move through me to lift and to make Light in the ways of the world."

Great and stirring times advance upon us. Let’s be great enough in our surrender to be able to do God’s work perfectly and without a thought of self.

Ever and ever my love surrounds you all. Love from your, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My dearest Ones:

It remains for the few left standing in effort and desire to release as much Power as has been done by the whole in the past. It can be done. Effort of desire, desire to surrender until only that which can be used by God is left within us. Only that which allows the free-flowing and complete Power to move through us must be left within minds or hearts. We must surrender more deeply to be possessed by the full Power of God.

"Where, oh where, wouldst Thou have me go? What, oh what, wouldst Thou have me do? Where Thou leadeth me, I am eager to go. What thou givest me to do, that I am eager to do, yea, fully eager to do right now."

Then live up to this. Never by look or word or thought complaining because the way is too hard or rough. Never faltering, though bowed down by the heavy burden. A heavy burden means definitely that we have not surrendered it that our Father may make it Light.

How deeply and dearly I do love you all. I am with you as one who serves now. In deep devotion, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved Ones:

The time has come to stand in Love as One. Darlan must be held up — with all Free French and English. He shall come through. Cover our movements and Convoys. Our troops in North Africa. And surround all enemy forces with great Light and Glory. Hitler and what he stands for is now in first of great confusion. It will continue, but not end yet — I mean his warring on the world.

Lift our Senate especially. And above all, Dewey. Self-interest alone moves him. Surround him in Glory — hide him in Light. He must not do anything undercover, as he plans, to undermine our present Government setup. Divinely hold, lift, restrain every minute. He must be unable to carry out his undercover plans. He is being used. By Wall Street — remnants of International Powers of darkness. Our work shall prove the Power of God over all. Everything he starts shall be uncovered at once.

We’ve work to do. Ted’s skinny — he’s so thin — just doesn’t fatten up from his "batching" last spring ‘n summer. So, help me with this. He is perfect NOW. I’m so glad of Ted’s deferment! Boeing’s put in his papers and Ted is now assigned to special and private work. God is so good to us, isn’t He? I’m so sure I was held here to help Ted over this long-hanging cold stuff. He got all run down "batching!"

There is something on the West Coast I can "feel" but not "see." Stand under and know with me.

Miracle after Miracle, Miracle upon Miracle shall follow!

All my deepest love. Your own, Edna Miriam

P.S. I am SO lonesome for all of you, but "Orders" are for February! My coming, I mean!

Seattle, WA

Beloved and Glorious Friends:

Today is a day full of Joy, so be Joy-full! Let your heart flame with the fire of Joy. Let your mind rest in Joy, that even your thinking may be full of the Joy of the Lord.

Increase your surrender to the Power, to be the full, complete servant of all the Joy of the Lord. Let it possess you. Let it sweep through you in waves, renewing body, soul and affairs for you now.

"The full Joy of the Lord now moves in all my affairs. The Joy-full-ness of the Lord now possesses me and every bit of darkness now moves into the Light of God forever. I am Joy."

Forever your own in love, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved Ones:

Am thrilled over outer events. Especially the ones saying that the War will be long! You’ve known this since ‘39! Also, "Mussy" [Mussolini] in bed — heart failure — is he the "natural death" amongst the Three? [Stalin died naturally, Mussolini was hanged, Hitler shot himself.] There are several other things which I fail to recall right now — but you can scarcely pick up a paper without some notice which backs all we’ve heard for several years. So, I’m more thrilled than ever.

Please, each one of you, watch your steps closely. Try to recall your Vows and past Orders for each occasion, for they have been given and are ready to reread and obey. Each year is a higher Cycle of Advance. Each year, trials, tests and temptations are on a higher vibration. But they are on and for the same things we passed last year this time.

Remember how deeply and dearly I love all of you and that it is forever. Ever and ever in love, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved:

Stand with me and let’s push these last few inches of darkness into real birth into sunlight with our creations. We just need more push. Like a bulb coming up, our crusts or our affair-crusts, are hard to crack open, but enough pushing will do the trick.

So, let’s push UP NOW! Our only push is joyous Praise.

Always and forever in love, Edna Miriam

P.S. I need more help on this pushin’ business. Let’s go!

Seattle, WA

Beloved ‘o my Heart:

This has been the most glorious Birthday of my whole life — and I’m now on the Path of the "13" — fully on my Master’s Path.

My love for you is boundless. My holding of you is limitless. My Joy for you is Complete. My Glory-knowing for you is as wide and high as the Universes.

So, Let’s Be Joy.

Forever your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved Friends:

May this Sunday be a Golden One to YOU! May the high Joy of the full Christ Consciousness take hold of you and never again let you go. May the halo of Joy be a Light over your head and abiding Light that the world may see and know you are touched by the Master’s Wand of Joy. May the Wings of the Christed rest close upon you evermore.

I am holding and loving you deeply and dearly. In devotion, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved o’ My Heart and Soul:

With these words, the greatest, most Powerful Vibration ever sent forth is opened. It began January 12, 1938, when we opened the 7th Age of Love. We have been releasing an ever-mounting Powerful Vibration ever since. It has so increased that at times it has even shaken the highest of the Elect. It has definitely shaken some right off the tree. If they had not left, they could have lost their balance and some even their reason. I need not point out further, because you all know those who have been with us and have left in rebellion and misunderstanding.

We are not told to understand others but to love them, to loose them, to agree with them and ever to seek the depths of understanding of God and His ways. Nor are we told to demand understanding of a single individual of earth but never to misunderstand them. Thus, shall true Freedom come to earth.

On Friday, December 18, the fullness of the Power of the Age of Love is to be released. The Gates are open to the very Soul-Heart-Center of Glory. There is no barrier to Love. The one who truly knows love, understands self-less love, Wisdom-Love, is free to climb where he will to Glory unknown to earth before, unsung and untold. Glory that transcends anything in bliss ever given to man.

No price is too great to pay, no hurt too deep to sear and burn out dross, no disgrace — so-called by the world — too heavy to humiliate too much, no reviling or "called names" too ugly to have friends and the world believe, to pay for this bliss of Shekinah Glory.

Believe me when I tell you this and let’s double and redouble our sacrifice of self, our surrender to become a perfect instrument of the Allness of this Glory-Power to lift earth and mankind on it into the full light.

How greatly can you love now? My heart enfolds you, lifts you, hugs you all closer than ever before. Your own forever, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved Faithful unto all Glory!

At this time my Joy-Wish for you is a depth of happiness welling up from the Heart of your Body into the Heart of your Soul as an artesian well bubbles endlessly, crystal clear, without ever losing its sparkle or showing a shadow. On the darkest day, each bubble in the artesian wells in Utah has a spot of Light!

Be so this lovely Christmas time, when the full Power of Love is to be released upon earth. It will be enough to upset the very reason of many, especially those of evil ways, in selfishness and self-pity. All our love-power is needed for this final pushing the "camel through the eye of the needle." Ponder deeply this mystic saying for release to you of a newly unfolded mystery! More I cannot give you. But just pondering will give you more Light and other Revelations. "Seek and ye shall find."

Merry Christmas, my so-beloved Ones. I am surrounding you even now as you read. Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My Beloved:

As we face a New Year, let each of us choose once more: What shall we BE? What shall we DO? How shall we THINK? How shall we SPEAK? How shall we ACT? How shall we desire? Expectantly? What shall we desire? What shall we conquer? How shall we conquer? When shall we conquer?

God is with us every step of the way. We now resolve to be and do only our very highest at all times, in all ways and in all places. Let God rule, control and conquer AS US.

My deep and abiding love ever, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My Beloved of God:

Greetings to you on this Birthday of our Lord, whose great Messiahship we know as Truth and Law, whom we love, worship and adore as the only Begotten Son of God, holy and complete. We Honor him as being Head of all lesser Racial Messiahs and the Head of Earth’s Glory.

We meet today in spirit, if not physical bodies to declare His Glory for all Earth in all ways and through all His Creations. His Vibration is Love. Let us truly surrender all of the self to be possessed of Love, to be held by Love, to be sustained by Love. Let Love abound amongst us, one for the other. Let each one of us vie to give up more and more to follow Him.

No price is too great to pay, no words of hurt too great to be borne, no cross too heavy to carry for the privilege of being one with Him, and one with each other.

How much love can you carry? How much Love can you love forth? Let’s set an ever greater Goal for ourselves throughout this coming year. Let’s plan our new Vows today. Let’s renew our old Vows today.

My own is to Love you more and hold you closer, to pour out upon you lavishly from a full heart all the Love of God.

Ever your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved Ones:

The New Year! Glorious and NEW. Shining and golden, ready and waiting for us to fill it full. Of what? Have your Vows been kept? Your plans adhered to and your Praise kept at least boiling? Have you accomplished everything you wanted to do?

If not, take stock. Sort out your weak spots and build them into strengths. If you have, then determine on a higher Goal for 1943 and extend your pipeline of determination to it now.

I love you. I miss you. I’m with you in Praise.

Are you Praising in 24-hour shifts, 365 days a year? This spells SUCCESS.

All my love, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved o’ my Heart, Greetings:

We open this beautiful year in Joy and willing Sacrifice to God of all self. We determine to make our own spots the most fascinating, desirable, gloriously beautiful in the whole of earth. We want to share all our Love, our Joy, our Praise with the world, but we also desire to share the want and sorrow, the lack and misery with our weaker and lesser brothers and sisters.

Unless we are eagerly willing to share their poverty and gladly do without food of all kinds, to share our abundance with them, then all our sacrifice of self is an empty thing and our love is a hollow mockery. And, to do this in JOY! We face more rationing, more walking, more losses, more grief, more chances to beef and whine. How are we going to do? How are we going to take it?

In Love, in Joy, in willingness to carry the world’s burden up the hill. Because it is Terrah we are really carrying! Think on these things. Praise. Love. Give UP!

I love and hold you, gather you unto my heart, uplift and unfold you. Forever yours, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Dear and Beloved Ones:

My heart is with you every minute. Am so very lonely for you that words do not convey it. Have no "Orders" on leaving. Know I face some sort of change, but it’s not a "usual" one, because the "Red Circle" which is my Symbol of "Change" is a flash inside of a flashing blue Star. Never given to me before. This means something different, and I’m entirely ignorant of what it portends, except that it is a sign of Joy and very near. Whatever it is that is coming.

I’m quite eager to know "what," "when" and "where," but not forcing, impatient eagerness. Rather an expectant, "desirous of service" eagerness.

The "Veils of Maya" being lifted, seven of them, are the "seven ascents" of the Kundalini [creative] Fire from the Sacrum Plexus Center. Each time there is an ascent — "7 x 7 = 49" remember? — there is clearer vision.

And any self-desires allow it to sink, and this causes a deeper blindness, leaving only ideas of smugness because of past knowledge, self-righteousness because of past understanding of Law, and a sense of always-being-right because of past obedience to "orders." And, finally, descends into the state where "I am always right and you are always wrong and you’d better be prepared before you tell me."

I love you all dearly, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved Ones:

I have my "Orders" — shall be with you on Sunday, April 18th, Palm Sunday. Ordered to spend Holy Week in Cleveland at Temple. This gives us time to save up for expenses and I’m happy to know. I’m certain I’ll be allowed to come! Travel, I mean. Miss you, but happy! So, "all is well."

Let our week’s motto be: "I am now crowned with the full graciousness of the Lord Jesus Christ forever."

Each has received a great benediction these past 14 days. All have attained in the Kingdom. Therefore, duty demands that you pray more on earth, that you stand firmer upon the Rock of Faith.

His graciousness be upon you. In deep love, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My Most Precious Ones:

We were frozen in all last week. Ted didn’t work from Tuesday to Saturday. Boeing’s was closed. All Tuesday night we sat up and prayed. Four telegraph poles were cracked off right over our house and the next one down the hill. Only the strung wires holding them up. If they had fallen any further, they would have fallen against the great high tension line tower, which runs through our back yard — high up, of course. The folks below moved out to a neighbor’s. We stayed in and prayed. They did not fall, but hung over at a 60° angle until Friday, before getting tied into place.

There were great flashes from all four quarters of city where high tension lines went down. We could look down over two valleys and see the fires set by them. It was a fearful and an awesome thing. But we were protected. Our coal lasted and our food lasted until it was over.

Read again Marie Corelli’s "Life Everlasting"— chapters on "Lessons on Love and Will" by Aselzion. Try to realize just what this balance means in your own Creative work. Love backed by Wisdom. Love moving forth to Create.

I love you. I missed you much last week. No way to mail letters until Monday. No mail until Monday, 25th.

All my heart is yours. Hold it safe within your heart, as your hearts are held safely within mine.

Ever your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved:

The sun is shining above the clouds. Light is pouring down from above. More Power is released for us and through us, every hour of our lives. You are stronger this year than you were last year. You have had many miracles to prove Law to you and for you.

What is your present desire? How hard are you boiling inside to achieve? To fill your creations full?

This IS your year of complete fulfillment. No man may or can stop you! No idea on earth is great enough to change your mind once you have made it UP. Nothing on earth can deter you or turn you into the shadows. You are stronger than all the powers of darkness, provided God is your Master and you are His Servant, full and complete Servant of all His Power.

"Let’s go! Where? UP!" With all my love and blessings, your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved-est and Dearest Ones:

Today is a Day of Love, a Love Feast. Are you in love with God now? Do you want a brand new way to show your new love for Him?

Here it is: When you see, hear or think a person, group or nation is doing wrong, just ask the Father to release enough Love and Light upon them to store up great credits for their use in time of greatest need. So they can pass an initiation and make right their wrongs as you have made right all wrongs credited to you by others. Isn’t it glorious to find new ways to mind the Father’s business instead of the other fellow’s?

"I am now SO BUSY minding my Father’s GREAT business of Love His large business of Love, that I have no time to mind my neighbor’s business or even see or think about what he’s doing, while the Father minds my business perfectly."

How deeply and dearly I love YOU! Your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved Ones:

"The strong and the High Right Arm of the Lord, YOUR God is now upholding, defending and making clear YOUR WAY before you!"

But do you KNOW this? Do you truly believe it to the exclusion of every other "thought" or "feeling" in your mind and your heart?

Do you know this with All your Mind, All your Heart, All your Soul? Or do you dis-color His Mighty Power as it comes through you to move into your affairs and life? Do you think yourself out of place and off-color or off-key? Can you truly "get along" without the true color, the true Harmony of God? If you can’t, get in step NOW. Get in line now. Get on God’s Beam for YOU.

Stop pulling and jerking away from Him! Stay within His High Right Arm and "let" it uphold you now and ever.

With All my deepest, dearest love to you All. Your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Daughters of Light:

All’s well, even though it seems of complete darkness. We shall hold all in our hands of the Father. Only by constant vigilance can we so retain our hold. Only by constantly permeating all zones of war with love can we hold all. Only by continued praise and by prayer can we lift and harmonize those whose ruthless power in all past Ages hast torn down our work and hurled civilization after civilization into utter chaos.

It is only by the Power of Love released forth now in great enough quantities that we can even now avert great delay because of torn down lines built at such cost. Protect our President. Lift our Churchill. We shall save and avert with Prayers of Love and Praise.

Be constant. Be steadfast. So shall you earn fabulous rewards in Heaven.

I am ever with you as Love, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved:

My arms are around you so closely. My heart sings in Joy at thoughts of being with you soon. I LOVE YOU.

It is not necessary to know "how" and "why." Only one word means anything to US: NOW. Do it now. Do something toward your goal now, if only praise to the Father that you do know how to serve now while "waiting upon the Lord" now.

Clean out some old underbrush now. God can only show us our Path after we have cleaned all those unfinished things from under foot. Do one thing toward it now. Then it will be another "now," so do one more thing to clean out that undergrowth.

It doesn’t matter how you’ve done your cleaning, in joy or grief or why you’ve done your cleaning, for self or in service for God! Your Path will stand revealed "when" you’ve done your cleaning.

So, we have no questions to ask, ever. Because we do know NOW.

I love you deeply and dearly. Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved Elect:

Tonight, as I write, the sky, all over, is a blaze of color. God’s lavish giving impresses itself upon my consciousness anew. As you read this, "Interference" is to be contemplated for a moment.

"Interference" is the keynote of Lent. All interference means growth and strength. All initiations shall center around "interference." Light cannot be interfered with. Only darkness needs interference.

Sometimes interference saves us from a mistake, though we do not like it. Always, we can make a gift to God through interference! The gift of time and effort. Many times interference in our plans and our life doesn’t seem important to us but it may well be the most important thing in the other fellow’s life. We have so little we can really give God. Time and effort can always be laid on the altar as a gift to Him.

Our plans are important. Our budgeted time and effort are most important. Still more important is our willingness to run and our joy in running, in spite of interference, doing the next thing next, even when it seems to take us far from our planned hour, doing this lovingly for our Master, laying a gift of this time and effort upon the altar.

All my deepest love, my so-dears! Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved Ones:

Another Lent is here. What have you planned as your "Sacrifice of self" for "Soul’s attainment"? What have you determined to give up as a gift to the Father? This is the time of Soul-cleansing. Think not to attain with lip-service, but what you may give up unto God. All that self which interferes with your Soul’s Desires may be laid upon the Altar now. Why hold fast to the self which limits your release of Power?

Free yourself, now and forever. You can. Give up all that limits you, even now surrender all self.

I am enfolding you. Your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved Ones:

Before we can turn around a few times, I’ll be with you, in person. Remember, no "interference" with our Joy, our Love, our Faith and, most of all, our prayers of Praise. It should be simple to remember, yet it takes all we have to do it. Look at the trees and bulbs. Everything breathes of more and more life. Let’s partake of it, breathing deeply, then "letting" it go forth colored with our "knowing satisfaction" that it will create our desires NOW!

I love, love, love all of you! Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved and Precious Ones:

Almost time for me to start. Almost time for me to see you with my outer eyes and hold you in outer arms!

Remember, Lent is a time for sacrifice. Can you make a "giving" sacrifice of love, time, effort or things? Something as simple as giving a "cup of cold water," done in love, opens your New Vibration for this year. Can you give greater fervency to your prayers? Greater Love to your "waiting upon the Lord" as Joy? Greater time and effort to your praise, NOW?

A little more love. A little more praise. A little more Joy is all you need to recreate your bodies and affairs. Add it to what you are now giving, just a little more!

With my deepest Love, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved of God, Greetings:

"Behold! The Light of the World is the Lamb of God." And this Light is free! This Light is all the Power there is, on earth or in Heaven and we are so equipped that we can use all the Light we desire.

We can’t use God. We can’t demand for ourselves. But we can use all the Light and the Love we can spend time, effort, mind, heart and soul releasing, hour upon hour.

How much Light have you USED this past week? Your return in "added things" depends upon your answer.

All my deepest love, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Dearest, most Beloved:

I am almost there! Use all Love, Joy and Praise this week in thanking the Father that all promises are now being fulfilled and that all desires are being added. Hold fast, concentrate, use Love as never before on this.

"I am now confident of success."

I’ll soon see you and my love is deeper and great in Power to hold, lift and speak the Word of Release.

Always your own in love, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved Ones:

Another Sunday and I’ll be with you.

The only need for success, for "miracle upon miracle" is to but "touch the hem of His ROBE." So, loving you, holding you, lifting and blessing you, let’s touch the hem of His robe in deep humility and KNOW Him.

Love, deep and abiding, Edna Miriam

Cleveland, OH

My Beloved Ones:

My week with you was surely a Miracle week and "Miracle after Miracle, Miracle upon Miracle" follows here. We are having a Feast of the Soul.

I’m so happy that I’ll be with you May 9. I’m not all full yet. I need more of your dear love. Words can never tell the Joy of your love and "nearness."

"I now both dare and do in the Name of Jesus, the Christ. There is plenty for all and I am now prosperous, whole and complete."

My deep love enfolds and lifts you always, Edna Miriam

Cleveland, OH

Beloved Ones:

Do you truly know the "Language of Love?" It has but one word: Giving. Giving of self in service, in surrender, in exaltation, in ecstasy, in Joy beyond Glory.

Remember, Love never seeks to justify itself, nor explain. Love needs no reason for Love. IT IS.

Touch the hem of Love’s garment and be healed. Speak Love’s language and become success. Reach Love’s sublime Gates and create Harmony with a glance. This is Love.

This is my "love-in-delight" for YOU! Your own, Edna Miriam

Cleveland, OH

Beloved Ones:

I’ll soon be leaving for the West. It’s been glorious here and my love advances and is great enough to fill space, my love for you.

Let Life fill you. Plenty to do all you need or want to do. Let Expectancy thrill you until you grow wings and are Light on earth. Let Love support you and sustain you in all your ways and let Glory be your Crown of protection.

I am with you. Deepest love, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Dear Ones:

My visit with you was all too short, yet we did so much in those few weeks. My assurance and my deep confidence in your ability to stand is serene and positive in your knowing is greater than ever before. I KNOW that nothing can ever destroy our Oneness. This is as sure as knowing can be.

To think of our having won through all doubts and fears and storms, to think of our having gained such a place in Heaven gives me thrills above all earth can produce. We stood the "test of time" together and the Truth we follow has justified that stand.

On Friday I speak for the Pen Women. The Lecture-Entertainment Chairman is a Mrs. Jones, the "Mrs. Parsons" of Seattle and is opening all Luncheon Clubs in Seattle for my talks! The first gun! Tomorrow begins our first Plan Conference for the next step. Keep on praying. This is IT!

With my very deepest of love to each of you and a million Blessings of Light, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

So Beloved Ones:

The Lord is in His Holy Temple now. And His Holy Temple is your dwelling now. Therefore, honor the Holy Temple in which you dwell now.

Are you dwelling well grounded within your Holy Temple? Are you really in-breathing you, yourself, back into your body every morning upon your return for your day’s "work" and "lesson" upon earth?

If you are feeling weak, try taking seven deep breaths, with a good stretch between each while the lungs are emptied. Do it slowly and use this statement on your out-going breath: "I am now One with all the universe. The Universal Breath now moves through my soul and body all day long, making them over into God’s perfect Image and Likeness of Power, of Strength and of Glory."

You shall be renewed and made glorious and strong NOW.

With all my deep love, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved Ones:

All is well. You are seeing and hearing as true Mediators should. It doth expresses through you as a perfect knowing and an ability to go forth and do that which Registers within you as a true knowing.

Meet in Love’s Deeps. Let Love be your Prayer, your Light, your Path and your Goal.

With deep, deep love, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved:

Glory be unto you a living Crown of Illumination and Wisdom unto all your Plans and affairs. Glory abide within you and express as you and make all your going in and coming out a Joy unto the world.

Remember Prayer releases Power. Keep your mind and heart on the Power moving forth. Use the time of the others’ prayers for trying to see God. The words are but bombs to carry the Power, which explodes forth in the same way.

You can’t pray too much. We need many more prayers. Pray, pray, pray!

Yours in Love, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved Friends:

We have now reached a very important time. Everything needs another push to cause enough action to get our load over the top in time. All enemies of darkness are making a final stand to eliminate the Power of Light if possible. This they cannot do. Yet, they could cause another irreparable delay in our plans. Therefore, we must have action now. More unity. More ONENESS. More love between the members of the group. This is of vital necessity. Let nothing of earth mar the shining brightness of the Lights of our group.

These are important times. We must have more Love-Power released. The Father has so few to ask in aid. How great is your desire to serve? How deep is your love of God? How deep is your full ability to give Him extra service? We must each be a perfect instrument for His service. More Power is needed everywhere. Hold. Lift. Love.

I am with you in love now, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved Friends:

Time does fly! I’ve been doing 24-hour shifts. Think I have things under control now though and can count upon some time for writing. I love you all more than I can say and have more to tell you than time to write.

Stalin is still crafty. Watch him. He is furious over not having our forces in western Europe and perhaps this is the very reason we are at his back door. We have checkmated his queen by so doing.

This war is not over. Licking Germany is only the first half! Stalin does want most of Europe. Russia is already as large as Britain and the U.S. Watch this and pray. He’ll even make a separate peace to beat us to Berlin, but he does not want us in the Balkans when he does.

If we start anything on the western coast of Europe now, it will take millions in men and supplies to win; great losses in men, supplies and equipment. Churchill and Roosevelt both know this. I think they know exactly this. Russia refused Siberian bases until we made a landing in France, Holland or Belgium. We just ignored this ultimatum, took it as bad faith on their part. It would have been secret; we hadn’t enough men or supplies for invasion. We’ll use China instead, also gain Burma. U.S. and England wary with Stalin, playing him as he tries to play us. He is now resorting to threats. If he makes peace, he’ll move into Romania and Germany.

Sweden getting ready to resist Russia! This threat is behind all. Dissolution of Comintern is to throw dust in British and U.S. eyes. I knew this would have come in some way. Russia couldn’t have won without our food and supplies, planes, guns, ammunition, tanks, etc. Watch closely.

Greed and intrigue are back of the continental chessboard. We’ll win, but step by step, just as in Africa and now in Sicily. Nothing spectacular. Germany may collapse, but that is only the beginning of the end. I can’t see it, however, for a long time.

Something is happening to shake this country together into Unity. Can’t see. There is still weakness to be overcome and dawdling to avert. The way is rough, steep, slippery and there is no rest on the climb. To stop means great delay, even tragedy. Therefore, gird yourselves anew that there be no more delay. We need love and more love to carry forth the Plans that our present way shall remain open.

Remember how much I do love you and that this is the time God’s Promises shall be redeemed. We’re ready and not backing down.

Deepest of deep love. Your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Dearest, my Very Dearest:

Am so happy! Everything is surely "coming to pass," even as we have planned. I’ll have more news this week, I know. If only I were twins or triplets, I’d be all right. I got bogged down for ten days. So much power coming through on top of extremely hard physical labor. Had to slow up until my heart could catch up with my desires. Darlings, my arms are wrapped around you and my love enfolds you. Shall know every door open before you and love opening the way.

All my deep love, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Dearest Ones:

I love you. Deeply and dearly and forever.

The work is much greater than I dreamed. Witness this name "Edna Lister," placed on the back of all literature — sent as letters — from New York. It could have been in the middle or not on at all, for I never dreamed it would be. I knew they had just started, but didn’t know I’d be so sort of "in" on the "first" ones. These letters go to every Club woman in the U.S.! God surely has his ways of getting his Publicity out, hasn’t He?

[Edna Miriam was deeply involved in the Women’s Action Committee of the non-profit organization, American Foundation Principles, founded and headed by Carrie Chapman Catt, her good friend and fellow suffragist.]

May have more news this week. Remember how dearly I love you all. Your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved Ones:

Stand in Faith. A Living, Flaming Faith that recognizes no limitations, that says "YES," though the whole world is saying no, that sees no lack. That reflects no darkness, though all seems dark, that bows to no man-made barrier at any time, but ever keeps the eye single on a Goal of Glory and perfection. Faith that truly is Unconquerable because it stands divinely active and divinely glorious, despite people, their "no," their "it can’t be done," and their sometime desire to help tear down our work.

Our work carries on. I’ve an egg hatching that must really HATCH. Pray. Love. Stand with me on it. It shall come to pass NOW.

I love, love, love you all. Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My dearest:

There is so much to tell you and nothing I can write. I’ll be "over" on time! That’s all I know now.

My plans are better than ever, that’s sure-certain. They can’t fail. And, since I’ve trusted God this far and every year has seen a step up, I KNOW He cannot fail if I stand. And, I’m standing and holding every inch of ground I gain.

So. We’ll go forward as we’ve planned. This trip East will release everything. Faith is unconquerable. And we have All-Faith. The Faith of God.

Remember how dearly I love all three of you and know this is really the finale. Our work together is now opening.

All my deep love, hear hearts, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My Dearly Beloved:

My heart is so full of love for you that it feels as large as Earth itself. It is a-thrill with the Joy of anticipation, and fulfillment. Also, a deep regret for all those who have so failed to hold fast and "wait upon the Lord." They can never see their names in the Great Book of Life for this Age. It can’t be made up. It just is. My heart is finally purged of all grief over it. It took our last "round" with those who came "out," only to fail once more. You see, they blamed me for leaving them, when they themselves made it impossible for me to stay. They were no more ready the last time than the first, to stand and surrender themselves, blame only themselves or to sacrifice "easy ways" for the hard Via Christi Way.

It hurt all over again but I can now see that they were only used to open that door again, so they could "houseclean" and mop it out! And we are going on. ON UP.

I’m under "Orders" to leave here after October 20th for Washington, D.C. No one except you, are to know I am East. Lest one of darkness hears, and tries to build a Vibration against it.

I’ll spend one day with you! On my return, which is as fast as I can make it, in secret.

I’ve been delayed from earning money. I’ve met everyone except the Democratic State Chairman and the National Committee Men. Will meet them this week. Am being given carte blanche by them, also for my Club organizing. So. Pray. Am going ahead as per Orders. It always does come out right. Women’s Action Committee going fine. Hold, stand, Pray. Lift. One more good shove and we’re on top!

I do love you. Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My Beloved:

Love works the only Miracles. Love is the only key to open closed doors.

It seems hard to blame ourselves when doors stay closed, but it has to be so. It isn’t that we’ve grown lukewarm compared with our past loving, but we are very lukewarm when compared with our future abilities.

The only way to make us ever greater in Power lies in facing the fact that last month’s love is not great enough to fill our creations this month. It is the only way God has of telling us that there is much more Power for us to draw upon, much more love for us to use.

Therefore, we have all manners of delay because we are also hit by the lack of the whole world to love. The hatred and indifference of the world is the ice to cool our White Point of Heat of Pure Love. So, we must love more.

Faith is Unconquerable, yet faith without works is dead and love, LOVE is the "works." It is the leaven to vitalize, to quicken, to fill, to full-fill our creations. Love is Queen of Creation NOW.

I love you with a warming, lifting, drawing and protecting love and forever. Your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My SO-Beloved:

I’ll be seeing you! Have my reservations for Washington, October 24. Pray hard. Have to pick them up the first of next week sure. Times have changed, SO–O! However, God has never let me down and I’m certain He will never start now, because I’m certainly hanging onto the ends of His robe now. This must go through NOW. And — "It shall come to pass."

Everything goes here — though still slowly. I’ve arranged for a Conference on October 20th of all Heads — present time, of State Federations of Women’s Clubs and all past presidents. This gives us our start here.

Write your Senators now that you want them to pass the "Bell-Burton" Resolution or one like it, and not an ambiguous one, either, but one to start the machinery for our Post-War Peace collaboration. It will help. Mention the "Women’s Action Committee." This is a must. [Such efforts resulted in The Marshall Plan for postwar reconstruction.]

We are marching on, to victory. We shall have peace. But the men who make money out of war are now blocking our peace work, especially in the Senate. They are concentrating all efforts there. All is well. This time we are moving out and up. Lines are firmly established and are securely holding. I’ve Orders to advance and in no way retreat. I’ve waited nearly 15 years for this Order. So I’m really ready to hold every foot of ground I gain. I also know how to defend it.

I love, love, love you. Ever your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved Friends:

Glory above all Glory is being poured out upon us. There is more Power to go forth than ever before. Our new motto: "This is my day of Miracles!" It is. There is no end to them — no limit. Bigger and better Miracles.

If I could only tell you what’s perkin’! You’ll know soon. I’ll see you before November 15, I’m sure. Fare $79.90 to Washington, D.C. Have now $15 toward it. I’ll gather the rest of my expenses during the month. And God can do this NOW. Never have I been so completely, confidently, totally assured over His ability to send me where His Orders tell me to go.

Pray, pray, pray. More Love. More Praise. More Song. What we’ve done is bringing such great results. What we do now shall magnify results a hundredfold, I KNOW.

Remember how deeply and dearly I love you always. Your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My Precious Ones:

I am in great exaltation over your courage and over your bravery! If I dared write of the way the Father has opened the doors in Washington, D.C., from here, you would glorify God with all your heart, as I do.

Am enclosing our advance publicity. Whole day a huge success. Have dates for every Women’s Club in Seattle, one at a time, of course! State Action officers all elected. Am enclosing this; send it to me in Washington, D.C., Stratford Hotel, Capitol Hill, arrive 8:45 a.m. Thursday the 28th. Can get my mail there, anyhow. Every Women’s Club and Federation was represented yesterday. Am I thrilled? I can see the full completion of our plans on time.

Thanks ten million. Will write from Washington.

Deepest love, Edna Miriam

Washington, D.C.

My Beloved:

Gee! To hear your voices last night was grand, I was — and am — so lonely for you that I could cry.

I needed this rest. Really needed it. I am sure of myself again — not trembling inside at the "awe-some" greatness of it and the tremendous responsibility. I have that back where it belongs — on God’s Altar. All I need or can do is to go forward, carrying out Orders, one step at a time, and to Him all results. After all, I am only an Agent here doing His Will.

All this to tell you that I couldn’t have stayed here without your help. Couldn’t have gotten here, in fact. But we shall all reap the same rewards. Advance for all of us. I’ll stay here until this is finished and ready for the next lap, which must be up. Can’t be anything else.

It takes longer to "worm" your way in through the back door, but no one knows you’re there. You escape having to tell your story to unsympathetic and hard-boiled ears, and those who aid feel an interest, or as if they were the ones who "discovered" and, consequently, cannot fight-at-you!

Hold fast together with me. We form our four-square foundation of the new Priest-King Government. I so appreciate all your sacrifices that I feel like crying. However, we are one, and "when" I have, it will run freely.

I love you all so very dearly. Am holding you and loving you every minute. Your own always, Edna Miriam

Washington, D.C.

My Beloved Ones:

I can stay with Mary until one week from Saturday, so pray that I’ll be taken care of, either finished and return tickets (to Coast — cheaper that way) in my purse to come to you or another home! And being successful by staying.

I do feel that this is perfect. Am moving in from the only angle that would not make me a "bone of contention." So, it must be the way and time, because it opened up, got the advice from Seattle. It’s longer on the outer, apparent side, but from the inside it will be permanent.

I need this four days of absolute rest given me. I couldn’t ever have got quiet as I have here. First of all, I love Washington, and second, this Hotel is extra quiet. It really is quiet here on the Hill. So, I’ve been able to check and recheck on what I am to do and say.

Enough prayer, praise and singing will now put us over the top. I’ll try to be with you on a Thursday.

Anyway, I’ll see you all soon. That I do know now. Will love to "tell all" I can then. Please stand with me now. This is the climax of our years of prayers and study together. Everything else I’ve ever done is only a prelude to this. Seems queer, looking back, but so it is.

All was experience for ripening and maturing abilities, until nothing could shame, humiliate, disgust or disgruntle, but all could be included impersonally in facts to be gathered for purpose of finding a way through outer facts to the full establishment of methods, cures and ways to advance in spite of them — facts.

All my deepest love and devotion. Your own, Edna Miriam

Washington, D.C.

Dearest Friends:

Your letter was a lift for me, when it came. Of course, I know God will take care of everything in absolute perfection, but! When I have to act here as if I had a million backing me, it makes it much easier when I, too, can see on the outer with my physical eyes! I go on and on without it, but I do "love to see" here and now.

I have to pick up my tickets next Wednesday the 17th. Meals are terrific here and I’ve averaged 75¢ a day for cabs. You can’t make appointments on street cars when they are close together, and I get sent from one place to another. Just wait until I tell you this tale! Everything looked like a dead end Tuesday. I couldn’t see one inch before me as to what to do next, and wait until I tell you what. I had to break into the $50 for moving out here, meals and cabs and street car fare. You’d never believe how much street car fare I’ve used, and once I had to use a cab three times in one day besides.

My fare to Seattle from here will be around $101. Isn’t it awful? $5 a day nearly and no Hotel bill. Also I have had to take my hostess to dinner three times, $1.25 each time! So, I’ll need another $50 towards my fare. This $15 has to last the rest of my stay here. Just has to do it, that’s all. God is so good to me, I want to cry on His shoulder tears of great Joy over my precious and my dearly loved friends.

Now, I’m leaving here Monday 8:05 p.m., November 22. Arrive in Buffalo at 7:55 Tuesday morning, November 23. So I don’t arrive until Wednesday sometime or around midnight Tuesday 23rd. But I’ve planned my Thanksgiving with the Group! Do you like that? Our dinner together in Commemoration of our past together and the opening Feast Day of our New Age Future together. We should all be together on Thanksgiving Eve, too. At least, as many as?!

I love, love, love you so much and forever! Edna Miriam

P.S. Pray I do not have to take the Chairman Woman’s Division of the Democratic Party to lunch or dinner; it would shoot one of my so-precious fives!

My Darlings:

I’ve written and now I could write again. The man, whom I got through to today, God Bless him, told me that I had one thing different, which they certainly needed: enthusiasm. He sent me to Chairman of the Democratic Party. I’ve nothing but my nerve, you know, so PRAY. This is it! I know. They do need me, just me with my own peculiar abilities.

All my love, Edna Miriam

Washington, D.C.

Beloved Ones:

Next week I’ll be with you. I’ve missed you all so. We all can build a grand vibration, and have prayers as well as fun — no restraint.

I can scarcely wait to see you! I love you so and our Vibration is now built here in this city. All my Inner work is done. The outer still to develop. Pray, please, harder than ever. This MUST GO NOW! Therefore!!!

All my deepest deep love, my so dear ones, Edna Miriam

Cleveland, OH

Beloved Friends:

Never have I had such a happy time. Never has the Power done such perfect work through us as a Group. God is so good to us. I’m so happy!

Give everyone my love. I’m too busy to write. Someone canceled this half hour, thank God! It’s like old times. Should have $25 above all expenses, I hope!

Remember, I love you, deeply and dearly and this is it! Am holding for everything. Deepest of love, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My Dearest Ones:

Each of you is like a thermometer. The fluid indicates your energy. When it falls, some go to 75° below, the dry ice stage and sizzle and burn everything around them.

Some move up and fade into the White Light of the Christ and lift, overcoming all else below.

"Lift your Lights and walk with me." No crosses left!!!

All my love to you and ten million thanks for my many Birthday Gifts. I love you, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Dearest:

I love you deeply and dearly — enjoyed my visit more than words can tell you.

Just finished closet-cleaning this morning. The house was sompin’ terrible after 6 weeks! Got home to a cold house, no coal! Had to use my extra for coal. The house was so dirty, took all last week, plus Thursday in Tacoma — to dig out from under.

I love you deeply and dearly and am so happy over everything that I could and do shout for Joy.

All my deep love, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My SO Beloved:

Russell is alive! I received word from the Japanese Imperial Government. He is a 1st Lieutenant in U.S. Army, prisoner in Military Camp #1, Philippine Islands. Says he’s well. His right hand is all right because his signature is perfect.

I’m so happy! All should be out for this. Plan it and then have a prayer meeting over it — this Camp to be exchanged, etc. — all Camps released. Am I happy!

This is to wish you a most beautiful Christmas.

Remember, all is well NOW. God can do anything, can’t He? Yes??? Let’s double and redouble our fervency and redouble again our absolute conviction of our Word coming to pass. He promises.

I love, love, love you — Merry Christmas my dear ones, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved Friends and Elect of God:

This is about the greatest Christmas earth has had for me: The Japanese Imperial Government has just informed me that Russell is alive and is a 1st Lieutenant in our own Army in Military Camp #1, Philippine Islands.

I have the whole story now. A false report! The first report from the Mines was wrong, but this [report] is Army, this is from Government, and that he is a 1st Lieutenant in U.S. Army. After all, many have been reported dead and later, found alive.

I’m so happy! If God can do this, He can do anything, can’t He? It is perfect. Think of the many I’ve prayed for, and declared alive and they have been! It certainly does happen all the time.

I fully think that they are all too busy "at home" now, to pay any attention to this, anyhow. Our Joy and nonchalance will keep talk from spreading. This is right. Therefore, all is well.

What a Christmas Gift! Am I happy? And do I love, love, love YOU All?

Merry Christmas and deep Joy in your sweet hearts, always and ever. Your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved:

Am now decided. Am going out to form the Lister "44 Clubs" as an independent. Opening here in State of Washington. And just as a Jeffersonian Democrat voting mass for next November.

I’ve stood up and decreed. Let’s Go! Now I’m really on my way. Just using what God has already given me to use!

Here we go! Pray — pray — pray! The Power is coming through US now to put this over!

All my love, my dears. Edna Miriam

I love you!

Seattle, WA

Good work!

You folks are really learning, not only to choose Law but to FORM LAW from circumstances, words, episodes and for necessities as they arise.

You are becoming true "Law makers" for yourselves. Love, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved of My Soul:

It is so long since I’ve written you! And so much has happened.

Everything is ready now for the finale. Pray for my continued strength of heart, mind and purpose, to be fully possessed of God, fully surrendered to Him and ready for any added responsibility, "without wavering or shadow of turning," steadfast and poised under all conditions. Pray.

We opened that vibration of "darkness changed to Light" on 12th Night. No one else may use or touch this Power, for Power and Light, when changed from darkness is more bright than in its beginning. It shall do the work tenfold of its original Glory and Power. So, if you desire to partake, it is best that to stay in an attitude continuous of Joy, Praise, Singing and Pure Love Prayer.

We’ve won! We are winning!

I love you all. Your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved Redeemed and Blessed of God:

In all ages, there has been no greater Faith. None have ever held so great Faith. From your so great Faith shall arise great Glory upon our Earth. It shall blossom as in rose time and be exceeding fruitful. All hungry children shall share equally in its fruits. This is now coming. Much trial and tribulation must yet come before greedy children of men shall find and follow the Master and his way of plenty for all and hoarding for none.

Hold all in the very Light of very Light. Let Miracle follow Miracle and wonders never cease. Watch. Pray. Be ready. For things are going to pop one of these days!

Peace be unto you blessing too great to hold all. All my deepest love. Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved of God,

Just received a second card from Russell. Almost the same but different enough to know he has sent two. My letters have not come back!

Now, for a tale. Hear ye! I’ve had a heart! It has put me to bed, flat, at least once a day for four weeks now. Most peculiar. Accompanied by trembling and a queer nerve vibration. I’ve been told to be still. That my physical body, as grand as it is, couldn’t stand the amount of Power without lying flat. So, they put me there. It has cut my writing to the bone. Have had to do all the necessary things. So, I’ve really come through another strenuous time.

Light is now released to cover all darkness, both that which we, ourselves have created and that of past karma. We have been told that great losses and tragedy would come to these United States to seek ways to bind men closely together.

The Powers of darkness have concentrated upon labor factions, through their selfish and greedy leaders. Only great grief can cause a mending to last long enough to hold all lines for us.

Italy is only the beginning. Many in high places shall be brought low. Their shrunken souls can no longer cover their misdeeds. They shall stand soul-naked and exposed before those people whom they have misled. All waits now upon Lights. There are many things which must come and pass first. Watch. Wait. Pray. Watch Spain, Argentina and Turkey (she grows fearful over Russian domination). The pot boils over soon.

We need more prayers of Faith and of Love. We need lines of Praise for weaving into God’s cable of crossing.

I love you so much. Deep love, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved and Dear Friends:

This is the very greatest Lent in all Ages. More Power to be released. Greater progress to be made in every way on every step and in all Departments of Life above and below.

We are of all knowledge and Love. Oh! Let us so lend ourselves and so love as to make a new book of credits in Heaven and "ensamples" of Love-life on Earth.

I am so happy! I was not allowed to see the reasons for what I knew I must do. I felt the Washington, D.C. pull and the traces holding me fast to earth. No progress to be felt or seen. Marking time. Held tight as in a vice. Then, suddenly the Flame of Glory opening everything and I could see. This delay is GOOD in creation. The more advance made in tearing out, down, the old and cracking up the shells of greed, the more ready they will be for Love to Reign and lead.

ALL IS WELL. We can pray these needs through. We are ONE now. I love you all SO.

Deepest love. Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved and Dearest of Friends:

Time marches on! I seem to stand still! Marking time has ever been my worst favorite!

Ted passed his physical exams — "limited service" because of eyes. He is now waiting his call for induction. Also, he is bringing his friends in for weekends, unexpectedly and I’m Chief Cook and bottle washer. I got breakfast for them at 4:00 a.m. Monday morning!

I’ve loved every minute with him, and I love entertaining for him BUT! It has taken every hour for three weeks which I’ve put aside for my writing. I must spend every minute with him. Yet, one part of me hurts because it is not doing the thing it loves — writing to you! Do you understand? Russell is alive, but haven’t seen him since ‘37! Ted leaving! So. Am doing the next thing next.

My love for you is so very great. I am with you. So much to tell you. When? No Orders at all except to stand by for future Orders!

I could work 6 days during every 24 hours and then not finish in months. So. Hold me up for greater efficiency and ability to speed up, so that every hour will produce 12 hours’ worth of accomplishment!

We’ve brilliant sunshine, but a wind direct off Arctic mountains. I long to see all of you. God will let me write at length, I know. Also, see you sometime soon — I hope.

Always my love flows to you unceasingly and forever. Your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Dearest Ones:

Just received a wire from the Provost Marshall’s office, Washington, D.C., that the International Red Cross has confirmed Japanese report of Russell as a 1st Lieutenant in Camp #1! This means he’ll receive my letters! I’m so happy! God is so good.

Spent 2 days in Tacoma — 5 days chasing from bank to FHA — different ends of city to try to get a refinancing on the house so payments would come within mother’s allotment. I’m sure there’s a "Ram in the bushes." If I need to refinance, someone will do it. Pray with me.

I love you all so. Deepest love, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved of my heart:

Easter week and I’m not with you! No word from Russell.

[Russell Elliott was captured, and died aboard a Japanese prison ship that was sunk by "friendly fire."]

Ted still waiting induction call. I needed this fine polishing. And I did go to the Father. He smiled and said, "All things are prepared before thee. Do thy loving best and let me do all the rest."

Pray hard with me over it. And, my Orders have come. I’m to be in New York City May 1-3 for Women’s Action Committee Convention. Then, back to YOU and Cleveland for a month. They need me. I need you. Not long now.

I love you so. I’m comin’! God is preparing my way. Thought I’d have earned plenty by now. Well, I’ve worked day and night on God’s next step for me. This is Truth, I know.

It’s good to have definite Orders even when all I see is a Light of Glory and not the "how." Pray with me — hard. Please love me hard. I do love you all SO. And love does fulfill the Law. Love, love, love. Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved:

I am with you. I am holding you close and high. All shall be well and very well. Our promises shall be fulfilled.

Am coming East. Orders. Know God has way made perfect before me. Pray and Praise an overflowing abundance through to all of us! We’ll have a week’s feast. And time together, I know.

I love you so much. Be brave, be courageous, be triumphant. Every last thing shall come true for us, I know. I have an unlimited, unconquerable conviction.

My deep love, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved Friends and Elect:

Easter Sunday! Happy Easter to YOU! Thousands of miles separate our bodies, not an inch our Souls! I am with you now. Heavenly Hosts are around you. You are "passing over" a Rubicon into a New World of Joy. So, leave all else behind.

Make your Vows to live now. To fill each hour with Glory, Light of Glory, Shekinah Glory, Glory with Bells ringing for Joy. Power is greater. We are higher. Love still is the Crown of all Life. Love still fulfills. Praise still is our greatest Creator’s tool. Let’s resolve together to do, to be, to stand, to know, as Creators of Joy.

God is waiting. We are ready. Faith always WINS. God always says "YES"! Let’s Go! Let’s Win! If we’re cooled off, let’s turn on the heat! Let’s blaze and flame with love. All my heart, mind, soul holding you UP!

Forever and ever yours. Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved Ones:

I’ll soon be with you again. I love you so and am thrilled over us.

Did you know that it’s raining thousand dollar bills? Also $500 bills? $100s, $50s $20s and $10s. It IS NOW. I’ve got all my bags open to catch ‘em. My share — plus.

I love you all so, Edna Miriam

Cleveland, OH

My Beloved Ones:

Weather no less than boiling! Am now well done.

Yesterday we had a picnic! While there after lunch, I told about 30 of our Buffalo "Temple Fund" and one man got up, put down a dollar and said, "What about us?"

They raised $12 — "12" and appointed a Treasurer of "Building Fund," and so it must be the RIGHT TIME. Just easy, starting with what we have now.

Wish I could see all of you once more, but I have a feeling that I’ll be back soon. A sort of a feelin’. Pray, love, Praise. We are NOW winning. I KNOW.

Deepest love, Edna Miriam

Cleveland, OH

Beloved Flock of the Lord:

My love enfolds you unto all Joy. My heart sings Hosannas unto the Lord God of Hosts every moment that we have come through great tribulation unto the Light.

Therefore, hold all. Let no man take aught from you, now or ever. Stand ready. It is important. Peace unto you and much strength, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved Group:

While I do know how very near I am to you at every moment, I’m still feeling far away, because we had so little time together. It was such a great little time, but still all too short.

I love all of you so very dearly and I need you all so much.

I’ll write as much as possible. Keep on praying that I’ll have the ‘–‘ fortitude to get this book done!

All my deepest love, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Dearest and most beloved:

I miss you! Very much. More than ever before. There is now a bond of closeness that nothing of earth can break or set aside. I know that you feel this, too.

The nearer we [Edna Miriam and Ruth Bender Collord] get to the mountain top, the more important it becomes. And please pray hard.

I am standing by and knowing the greatest results ever gained by anyone, for you, during this Retreat.

You shall see Visions and you shall accomplish every one of your Soul Desires.

I am ever with you in love, Edna Miriam

Beloved Group:

The Glory today is almost too great to be borne. "Crystal clear" is the word for the atmosphere. And what a contrast with the past week. We arrived Wednesday in a real cloud-mist, which grew darker and darker all afternoon, until it was rain at dinnertime.

Thursday early, 6:00 a.m., the same. So we crept back into bed to keep warm, and prayed! By 10:00 a.m. the sun was lovely and everything except the mountain top was beautiful. That was in deep mist. After lunch Thursday, we started our 1,000 ft. climb. Paradise Inn is at 5,557 ft altitude. We went to 6,500 ft plateau where we stopped. At 4:00 p.m. we found a couple of rocks on flat Plateau before "the face" of the Mountain. At 4:45 p.m. (7:45 p.m. EST) we prayed. Meantime, from lovely warm sunshine, clouds dense and dark, had covered the whole mountain. At 5:00 p.m. (8:00 p.m. EST) we began to see the clouds over Mountain turn black and blacker.

Well, it got cold!! And we prayed. We worked hard. Sang. Prayed. Praised. Spoke the word. Finally, at 6:00 p.m. clouds began to lift and we saw those on the mountain itself grow black. We began to sing with the Heavenly Choirs and watched a pure shaft of White Light — brilliant and blinding — break through in a circle exactly over the Summit. It was magnificent. It was the most glorious thing I have ever seen, because it burst through the heart of evil itself. The Mountain was clear for 15 minutes. Then it all closed in again, and it became dark and gloomy all ‘round.

We have 40 Days now of New Ascension for body and Soul. To each is given Power to Release for Creations. Only we, ourselves, can determine "what," "how," "when." Our desires, our choice, our Love and Faith. Let’s make this 40 Days pay us greater dividends than ever before we’ve had from any investment.

I love you all so deeply and so dearly. Ever your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Dearly beloved:

The Power is so great that you can hear the Songs of the Planets and Stars.

Glory is great enough to make Light any darkness.

Let’s stand together more and more closely. Let’s hold each other so high that only Glory can possess all of us.

Darkness is overcome. Yet, some darkness is coming up and out of men’s hearts to be lifted, that will almost cause us to tremble.

Every nation will have all stumbling blocks removed.

To stand together is all we need.

I love, love, love YOU! Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My so beloved ones:

If only I could give this "in person." Writing takes so very long, and I just can’t do all I must do.

I love you so much and I am SO happy! Everything’s comin’ my way! Our Way, which is the Master’s way.

There is so much to be done before then. Not enough hours.

I love you so and would write you miles and miles, yet I seem to have so many obligations that I must take care of now that it just takes extra days which I should use for writing.

I’ve been thinking we couldn’t make trip to Vancouver! Yet, this a.m. I have positive "Orders" — must go! Lines must be built up here, so Power can be released through high Canadian Rockies — into Russia. A must. Not just a pleasure trip at all. Has to be. I dread packing and leaving again. Need the time so hard.

We have our Hotel Reservation for October 10th for Vancouver. Only $2 extra fare to stop overnight in Victoria, so "Orders" are to do so. I have enough for both fares and my Hotel bill and eats. I’m sure we’ll have enough by then.

You must be with us for release of Power — through Olympic Mountains North and then Alaska and over into Siberia, across North Pole and Arctic Circle — all for the purpose of lifting earth. Otherwise I should never take time or money for it, because I’ve long past due obligations to settle with just plain money. Anyway, God will take care of it. He always.

I am with you every minute of time. I love you dearly, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Dearest Ones:

Enough Power is coming through to truly perform any Miracle for anyone.

Hold to the Power over Sunday, the 24th. Make up your minds, each of you, exactly what you want. Then, decree it, thanking the Father that He always says "YES." Then keep your minds made UP, praising Him without ceasing, day and night, until your Miracle "comes to pass." And, it Shall Come to Pass, as spoken.

In His Name, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved Flock:

Great things are now brewing. Pray for enough Love to conquer all darkness within your subsouls. Then, our President, enfold him in Light and lift him. Also, the opponents. Encircle them in full blazing Light and Glory. Also, all enemies of God everywhere, especially here in New Jerusalem. Only so may we do our own perfect, needed work.

Then each consecrate himself anew in surrender, in devotion, in love, in faith, in joy, in understanding, in service, in renewal of Vows, in desire to be ever ceaseless in prayer, praise and sing Psalms to God. Each must be in a State of Grace over the 22nd to see, to hear. All Heaven is open to you, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Dearest:

I really miss you more and more. I cannot picture the time when we were not together. It is so wonderful to know you are there in the background, that I can reach out to you if and when I need you.

A little more sacrifice, a little more surrender, a little more praise will bring your dreams into the outer. So, I am doubling and redoubling my prayers on it. I feel the same about my own. For we are on the same breath and vibration.

Remember, you are as great as your Love is great. You art as great as your surrender to be a perfect instrument of God’s Power. You are as great as your ability to sacrifice self. You are great by the Grace of God only. You are great because thy Love causes you to live by the Honor of God.

Honor God. Praise God. Become the fullness of Law and nothing left to self. Be selfless and abiding.

I love you always, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved of my Heart:

If only we could understand love. If only we could hold love high enough as our ideal. If only we could remember to lift everyone else when they seem to stumble.

Love enough will make all things Light. Love enough will cover all our transgressions, no matter how great. Love enough will hold anything or anyone high in Light. Love enough will cast out all fear. Love enough will make all things new. Love enough will cast out all doubt. Love enough will pay all debts we owe Law. Love enough will forgive, give love for anything or anyone.

Love enough for each other will make each other one beautiful. Love enough will make each one of us good. Love enough will make everyone else very happy.

Let’s pray: "Oh, God, create within my heart enough love this day to make my Temple a true Temple of Love forever."

My Love for you has no limit. It is as great as God is great. Love does fulfill all Law NOW!

Your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My Beloved Ones:

"Forgive us our debts as we have forgiven our own debtors." This is our statement for the week to be used in deep, seeking love, to be held close to our own souls for searching out any debts deep in our subconscious minds, which we are unconsciously holding against anyone in the outer or on the inner.

This is our key to ascension, This is our ladder to God’s Power and to His Life. If we still hold a debt against another, whether a person, a nation or even an administration, we are holding ourselves in chains of bondage.

To blame anyone or anything is counted as charging a karmic debt to that person or thing, karma which the one who charges the debt must pay, not the one blamed. The one blamed may even have repented before we charged him with the debt.

I love you so always. I stand and hover over you and yearn to lift you all above the earth’s plane of debt-charging. Let’s rid ourselves and earth of all karmic debts now together.

All my deep, deep love, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved Ones:

To know that, at last, we have a Class once more, well, it delights me beyond measure. I know that it will build up a mighty Power for us and mean the emancipation from all so long lingering traces of darkness.

This Group means much to the Master. Once more we establish this Study Group for Mastery. You are capable of carrying that Torch for Him in perfection, and I am positive that you will keep it free and loyal. There are no others ready. They have much lip-service with no full, blazing subsoul desire to become as Gods NOW!

You are Teachers. You must know that you know Law. We all think we know it. It is something else to know that we know it. This only comes with Mastery of self. As long as one tiny thing can cause us self-grief, self-blame, self-condemnation (and this has not one thing to do with true repentance, because it always seeks to justify all it has done, both to itself, others and God) or self-love, we do not know Law. True knowledge gives delight to the heart, and makes us sing songs in the face of reprimand, danger, reviling and criticism. Praise of such love that one almost melts and dissolves comes from knowing and Being Law.

When Law is self-used, it always causes a soul-knowledge of guilt, and terrible wear and tear upon the physical body.

Visions should be "pooled" and each one given proper analysis or interpretation, lest the "little me" of the one with the Vision misinterprets for that one. Safety comes from checking and rechecking. If all cannot check on any thing, watch out, there is a cross-vibration entering.

Remember, every Group is ringed around, beyond the Fire protecting it, by subversive things seeking expression — to disrupt all Groups. And just one tiny line from the "self" of any in the Group, and they grasp the line as a wedge to enter. The White Brotherhood needs more Mediums, and gladly uses one with just a tiny bit of self.

Therefore, check. This holds up the Glory of protection given us from above. Fear of sharing and checking is true self-knowledge — subsoul knowledge. Therefore, keep this Group as One in Love for each other, and God that One! You are protected. Open this not, by a thought of self, to any seeking whom they may devour!

I love you so deeply and dearly that my heart hurts to bursting with it! Some day you will know, all of you, just how deeply dear you all are to me. All my deep, deep love, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My Beloved:

Prepare for the Month of Joy. Build "Wings of Joy" for yourselves from the Joyous Praise you make continually unto the Most High from this moment onward and forever.

Eagle’s wings weather the fiercest gales by riding with the storm, not fighting it. Then, in the sun, the breezes help blow them home. No wasted effort. Just ability to "stand with" even the Gales of Life, letting them rage in fury.

"Wings of Joy" can only be built of the Substance of Praise. There is plenty of time to build them, Mighty and Strong, to carry us Home.

I am ever with you in Love and Devotion. Your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My Beloved and Glorious Stars of Love:

I am with you in love. My arms are enfolding and lifting you to the heights of all Glory.

Love has won now. Love does create the perfect. Love does lift the burdens. Love does cure any physical ill. Love does create every harmony. Love does change all else into itself. Love fills all, not one-quarter, not one-half, ALL. Let love conquer through you. Let love sing as you now. Let love praise God with your tongue. Let love form your lips into perfect, creating words of life for you.

All my deep love, your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My so Dearly Beloved:

There is Glory and to spare for everyone now. There is Joy overflowing for you now.

There is Power awaiting your Midas touch to turn it into the Glory of outer and Inner Success for you now.

Reach forth your hands and touch each thing in your life that you desire to be changed. Let this touch of Glory through you turn all into the Glory of pure Gold.

Pray the Substance of Love into outer perfection of body-healing, gold for purses, gold of loveliness of Spirit for Character, gold of beauty of thine own form and lives to stand forth as living ensamples of Law.

I am with you — pray. Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My Beloved Friends:

I send you all my love, and share with YOU my whole Kingdom of Joy on this my 60th Birthday! It does mean this coming year — from right now — we can do anything, be anything, have anything AS CREATORS.

What is our Choice? What do we desire to separate ourselves from? To lift it? Our choice. This is the strongest year Earth has ever had.

All my Joy is your Joy. All my love is your love on this so Great a Day of Joy for your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My Beloved Ones:

When I opened that Card, I was thrilled, just having a Card from All of You! Then, I saw a dollar bill!

Then, I took it out and said, "Oh, it’s two dollars." Then, I almost gasped for breath. It was a TEN. It looked like a million to me!

Thanks more than I can say, wonderful friends, and know that this is the Very Happiest Birthday I’ve ever had. Sixty is wonderful! I feel like sixteen, eager to see around the corner of 1945, because I’m positive — sure — certain — that this is the very "Year of Fulfillment" for all "Promises and Plans." Let’s Pray! Let’s Praise!

I love you All so. Ever your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My Beloved:

To have the full knowledge of Law which you are now seeking will strengthen you for any future outer work.

We ask for information on "what" we are "doing" to cause certain effects in our lives. We ask why our prayers are not answered, yet we refuse to "hear," to "see," or to pay any heed when we are actually told the "what," the "why" and the "when." There is only one answer: We are breaking a Law.

"If ye break one of the least of these Laws, ye are guilty of breaking all."

So, the work we are now doing together is the very most important of our whole lives.

We must make each meeting pay great dividends. Because I am with you surely, certainly.

Thank you all for your so lovely Birthday Greetings. It’s been the Happiest Birthday I’ve ever had, bar none. I love all of you SO! Your own, Edna Miriam

[Edna Miriam wrote the following encouragement to a gentleman who had received a crushing disappointment at work. This lesson and her advice is priceless.]

Seattle, WA

My So-Beloved One:

This is a Day of Glory. My wishes would fill the Hall of Wisdom, and that is some large! And one thing I do know, my every "wish I wish" for YOU "shall come to pass." Period.

Know — that all is well and your heaviest "trials" are over, if you make it SO. Remember, your "hurt" over "boss’s treatment" of you has delayed all "plans of joy" for you twice already. Resentment (on your part) has cut the lines twice for you. You can’t be hurt or offended without resenting and blaming, which is judging another. "This is an hard saying." Yes. Law is hard to Become, but it is Glorious to BE, after you get there. And, there is no easy way.

When you feel at any time that you ‘do not deserve’ whatever it is, then know that it is because of your Vows to help! World Karma you are helping to lift and lift the ones who bring it to you! Bless them and love them! They are your stepping stones to your own great place and your own great life. You are winning fully this time, I KNOW, POSITIVE.

Until you serve God only, and never even see how you are treated, you will have this same situation arise. In fact, it will always arise wherever you are, whatever you are doing. This is what ails the Government and all "appointees." Just exactly what you are in a position to learn not to be or do.

Darling, Vows are one thing! Practice of Vows always hurts.

No one can keep you out of God’s Place for you. It isn’t lack of a College Degree that is your handicap. It is what you think of it and about it. Because God can put you anywhere He wants you, over College Degree men, any place, any time, when you forget all "but God."

You are my grandest friend, pal and "worker." But when are you going to truly forget self, and Serve Joyously, Gladly, Lovingly, Freely and Graciously, even — most of all — your enemies! Cut this out NOW. This is God, scraping clean the "inside of your Platter" for you! Submit. Look UP.

This is to be the greatest year of your whole life. Great! All "dreams come true." All Visions fulfilled. Nothing is going to "take your Crown of Glory" from you, especially not that "little old self-pitying self!" You shall be consumed with the Fire of the Glory that fills you.

You are so good. But any offense taken at anything means self. And a lack of love enough going forth at that particular hour, even though every other hour is over-filled.

If you could know the Glory ahead of you, there truly is no man or situation could force you to look at the meanness they do, even for a minute. Remember, we’ll always have the mean ones to deal with. Learn now to love, lift and know God’s love, even when they are in action with it.

You are now being polished to a brilliance unbelievable. Are you going to hold one tiny facet of the diamond to the self — dull — while all the others are Glorious?

I’m lifting, loving, holding and knowing you through this Initiation and above it forever. Of course it comes when you are physically tired, lonely and alone. Then is when our weakness rises up to slap us down, until it becomes our greatest strength. Do you think I do not know?

Blessed Birthday, my dear. Happy Conquering of the last trace of self. Let’s love this boss into Heaven NOW! You shall be promoted over all heads into God’s own place for you!

All my deep, deep love, dear, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Dearly Beloved:

If only I could fly to you for this night, or Christmas Night, or somethin’! Wouldn’t that be Heavenly? Just wait until we get our little planes that dash 500 miles an hour!

This is our greatest of all Christmases. On the Inner, pure Glory. In the outer, political chaos. Muddle. No one knows where to turn, nor what has happened. All that can save us are the prayers of the "Stars." YOU are Stars. What must you do to truly be a Star? You are a Light, Steadfast in shining, Constancy in obedience. Being without self. Doing without Reward. So. Pray. It grows more important every single day we live. There will be more and more confusion.

I love you, my dear ones with a deep and a vast love always. We can reach a "hotter" Point of Praise in Joy because we know. I am with you as ever.

With my deepest, dearest love to each one of you. Your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved of Love and Glory, Joy and Praise:

Greetings of Joy on this the Day of full Release of Power.

The New Year approaches on silent "Wings" of Light. What are you planning for this year? What are you filling each shining hour of each perfect, unspotted day with, Joy and Love? Without a Charted Plan you will lose too much Glory, too much Time, too much Substance.

Today God gives us enough Joy and Love for the year. He shall fulfill all our hours’ desires — with what? According to your Charted Plan, "so be it unto thee."

My love to you always, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

To My Beloved,

You have achieved a fitting humility and worthy Desire to be humble enough to appreciate Heavenly Gifts and to hold them very high in the Soul’s Mind and in your Hearts. Now you are fully ready to move forward upon the High Pathway.

Yet, the need is for greater humility, lest unwarranted pride slips into your actions or thinking. This has caused all "devils" since the beginning: pride. Pride of beauty, pride of Intellect, pride of Place, pride of Position — and none of these belong to us, except through the depth of our Love. Love alone places us. All else is apt to prove a Tempter and cause us to lose ground, thus making us climb to regain ground held and then lost.

Be watchful and hold fast all you have, lest any man take your Crown (Revelation). Each go over in his mind and then state aloud what has been a pitfall in the past. Make each into a Law: "Guard against pride, resentment, arrogance, self-exaltation, etc., lest it subtly creep upon one, slip into one’s speech, cause action such as . . . at unlawful times." You need not state exactly so but it must be clear enough to be our framework for a later Book of Warnings to Neophytes. It is Service and it aids each to become observant of self-delusions, to speak truth upon each thought, action or desire of self. It teaches Law as well as forming a bulwark against misuse of Law.

This is your year’s Inventory and taking of soul-stock while throwing out all spoiled stock on mental shelves.

Be honest, be searching, be humble. When hearts are self-scrubbed, minds self-swept, pray that the Light of Shekinah Glory shall polish minds, hearts and bodies unto His perfect Glory.

All my love, my dears, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Your New Year:

This is YOUR year of fulfillment. Do you know this for yourself? Do YOU know exactly where you are going this year? Have you charted your new course to fit the new and changing times?

It does not matter how many small ports you are forced to visit by circumstances beyond your control, how many times you have to stop for forced repairs, how many contrary winds blow you off your charted course, if you constantly hold before yourself your original course, clearly outlined on your new chart and always set your helm on a straight line back to your course of life, or if you return to the original line the instant your ship is free to move again.

Delays cannot keep you from finally reaching your chosen goal! Keep your own mind made UP. Do not allow anyone or anything to UNmake it for you. God’s winds are always with you. Do you know this deeply enough in your own heart to keep you strong in confidence that you can win? Constant in your thinking and determination to strive and struggle with life itself until you have won? There is nothing too hard for you to do. There is no effort too great or too long for you to make. No goal too distant for you to attain.

The long-range view of life is the success view. When you cramp your view down to fit today’s despair, you lose the incentive and the power to move forward into your success. So, make your 1945 vision a long-range vision. Make it part of a 10- or 20-year plan. Give yourself TIME enough to accomplish a truly great plan. There is no such thing as "old age" or "too late." Now is the time of fulfillment for YOU!

Life is "deathless, ageless and abiding." Life is "the same yesterday, today and forever," and YOU are life. Chart your new course. Tie down your helm and no contrary winds of earth can blow you too far to return to your own course. No heavy gale can take the helm from your own two hands, or make you alter your direction toward your goal. You are complete within yourself and you already ARE your own fulfillment for 1945.

Seattle, WA

Beloved of God, Greetings of Power and Glory, now and evermore.

You have earned great credits on the Inner and great compensation in the outer. However, there is no withdrawing of the Law, which declares that each must work out his own salvation. Each has the Power to bring it through into his own life. Each has the ability to plan his own Creations. Each can be constant in Praise of Joy.

Do you regard God’s Kingdom as great enough to content you until you learn to create as a God? Do you believe that God’s Glory is greater than all? Shall God fail you ever? Shall He take aught from you? No power of man can cause you one lack if you place all dependence upon God while you use all you have to His Glory.

Do you truly use all that you have? DO all you can do now with what you have? Praise through all the Great Power given you now? Upon your answers to these questions depends the fulfillment of all Glorious Promises. Consider how much more effort of time in both hours and Praise you can give. Consider how much more in duty and service of giving you can do now. Consider what you have left undone or failed to do the past year. Then declare to spend a few moments of time and effort to pick up these lost stitches in the web of life so you shall have space for the Release of greater Power into your own planned Creations. Make this a meeting of resolves to make better use of minds, hearts, bodies and affairs exactly as each is now.

Pray for me. Send enough substance of Love to weave into dreams and glories for the whole world. I am ever your own, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Dearest Ones:

You and I are making a New Age Plan of Ascension. We shall release it upon earth, gradually lifting and ascending earth. Isn’t it worth your price of "time and effort of love"?

I am again amazed at God’s ability to do new things. Just when I think, "Well, this must be the end of His Imagination," He does something so great that I’m left breathless and speechless. All my deepest love, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

My Beloved:

Behold, a New Covenant is made, and so shall it live forever and forever. Never again shall there be darkness in any universe. Never again shall we stay so long away from our Father. Continue in lifting all darkness and when it shall be fully lifted, so shall it be accomplished. Darkness shall be gone forever.

Stalin shall announce his policy once he enters Berlin. He shall tell of his demands and stand. He is now ready to take over the world, as he thought he was ready when the Nazis prevented him. Yet Germany shall make it hard. Many men shall be taken from earth, for Germany is not yet ready to surrender. They will spring a thing upon all fronts soon, which will horrify all peoples.

We now have our lines clear and open for advance. All shall come, though it may seem too slow. It is a very steady climb and each step is solid and leaves firm ground under our feet. Victory and Triumph for us are surer than sure.

Pray much. Lift more darkness for all depends on this. I am ever with you. Pray each now for the other’s strengthening and lifting forever. Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

To my Beloved Ones:

Greetings of all Glory. It is come. Life for the weary world. Love for the nations. Faith for all seeking hearts. We have won the Aeons and Ages-old battle with false doctrines of selfishness. We have won.

We have waited long for this. Watch, therefore, lest anything of self cause you to lose this exalted moment. Hold all up. As you accept this as Truth, so shall your Words stand fast. Can you believe?

I am with you, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Dearest Edna:

Two Seattle boys were named in those 500 prisoners released! It is very hard, this waiting. This is the third time.

Please have the Group pray for ‘release of abundance’ for my finances. Must get my writing out and sold.

Have had no mail all week. Thanks one million for the $10! $4! (Wrote $10, must be coming!)

I’m very happy over all Inner work — everything is moving in a perfect way.

I am certainly loving you with all my heart.

Deep love, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved, Chosen Elect of God:

You have entered 40 Days of Passion and Sacrifice. Pray before the Thrones and give up your limitations. Consecrate these days to Release a great Power.

Are you satisfied with your fervency, hour by hour? Can you increase your Praise? Can you hold fast to your sacrifice? Praise God together for His Release of greater Power through each. See how many things you can praise God for in your present life. Pour out Love upon all earth.

Bless those men who are even now preparing for the final war with Russia and darkness. We shall win but not soon. Roosevelt and Churchill know that they need to put Stalin down. Pray. Sacrifice your small and petty holdings against others.

I shall be with you, as you pray, blessing and Lifting, Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved of Love and Life:

Be in Love with God. Be in Love with Love. Let Love be your guide, your strength and your Deliverer. You are in the greatest period of Ascension. Remember and know your own glory.

Is not our God a God of Glory? Is not our Father a Fortress and a House of Comfort? Does He not answer all calls and send Power for our creations? No one has used all. Very little have you needed of that storehouse of Power in your own Star. Just a little more Praise and a little more Love added to each hour would give great and vast glories in your creations.

You have filled some prayer molds, others a little, some not at all. Your molds dry and become lifeless from neglect. The molds are held and await your good pleasure at some time, now or ages hence. Why not Praise and Love enough now?

Rejoice and be glad. Be in Joy. Be in Praise. Most of all, be in Love with God. Be in Love with Love. Each let Love flow over the other. Let Love, all creations of Good, flow into full expression.

I am yours in Love and Joy. Be one with me. Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved and Glorious Ones:

Blessed are you because you are found glorious in Unconquerable Faith. When the Master stands at your Door and knocks, he is invited in at once. Yet, why should you ever close him out? Why? If you can open your Door at his knock, you can hold it wide for him at all times so that he need waste no time knocking. Then he may come and go with Power at all times. Then you would always be filled with Love and all strength for daily needs and all Joy under all conditions.

Keep your Upper Chamber wide open for him to enter. He has given you oil. Keep your lamps filled or else how will trimming affect your lights? To trim is not all. Fill your lamps with oil and he shall bring the Light. And when he brings the Light, who of earth can put out your Light? None, for he holds all Lights and gives all Light. Look to him and be alive and in Power forever. Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved Elect of Glory:

This is your time of full Release. By Loving your own places, by Praising your Father always and in all ways, by praying in Joy, so shall you find release from the world darkness.

Live in your High Place of Glory. Let the Master be your strength and Joy. Let him be your words and innermost thoughts. He is ever with you. He is ever surrounding you with his Light. He is ever watching over you to your protection and complete Ascension in Glory.

All my Love, my dears, Edna Miriam

Cleveland, OH

To my most Beloved:

You are Rays of Light moving forth under Joy. You are instruments of Love, which is the Law of Creation to bind all Creation together as One. You are now worthy to carry the Master’s Banner of the Law of Light into all dark places. You are true Sons and Daughters of Joy. Joy shall conquer all hate. Release Love as a Joyous Vibration, for only Joy can send it forth far enough or powerful enough to overcome all world darkness.

Praise unto Joy. Praise again until you stand bathed in Golden Silence. Praise again with Love ascending and your bodies shall be filled with Light.

The Law is perfect now. Be Absolute Law and perfection shall manifest through and as you forever. Become Law. How I miss you! Love you so much, Edna Miriam

Cleveland, OH

Beloved of God:

Live with the Master hour by hour, leaving all others alone to live and to receive their lessons in God’s ways of rightness. Grant each the freedom to be right where he is and as he is, without speaking, only shining from the Golden Silence to bless.

Seek to know how to Love one another greatly, that you may be your own fulfillment of all Life and Law. To live fully and have a full life you must know Love and be Love.

There is only one way: Sacrifice of the "little" of earth to gain the "much" of Heaven. Make further and even greater sacrifice of self. So live in the High Place that all the subsoul still embedded in the world may be lifted, coaxed to move higher where it may aid in the Oversoul’s Reign over body and affairs. Long has the subsoul been in command over the outer self. Subsoul finds it hard to give up past reigning to be ascended to the Oversoul. Yet it must be so. It is the only way to go through the Gates while still in the flesh. I am your own, Edna Miriam

Cleveland, OH

My Beloved Friends:

You are Faith Unconquerable. Ascend ever higher. Your Lights grow with sun-brightness and shine forth to glorify Terrah. Earth has become a Star of Light and full Glory because of the Elect who "so let their Lights shine forth."

All past Promises shall speedily come to pass. Let more Love possess you. Let more Praise move through you. Let Might and Majesty o’ershadow one and all. Above all, Love one another. Provoke not one another to darkness. Each call the other full Brother and Sister, with Love only between you. Each hold high his own Torch and look well to his own life, lest an unwary thing be said to grieve another. Love one another and so shall Law be fulfilled. Let Peace move you into all comfortable living and into all happiness now and evermore.

I received the money you have provided for my expenses West. Please do believe me when I say that I am very eager to become a Capitalist!!! My purse always bulging with gold — in fact, not fancy! And it shall come to pass. I am exceeding grateful and I shall give you very lavishly of that which I have — LOVE. I pour it out upon you in a never-ending stream of Glory. All my deepest Love, Edna Miriam

Cleveland, OH

To my Beloved:

I miss you so much. And I love you so very much. The wire came to hotel Friday morning. One million thanks! I hope to pay my expenses here this week! And hold all I can toward our summer’s expenses in Yellow Pine.

The work here goes along. Some glorious work toward the future, as well as getting the Temple together as one. They’ll all carry on now.

Feed the Master’s sheep, not by going into the byways and hedges but by lifting, loving and letting. Much karma still must be lifted. When you see a thing in your brother’s life that needs lifting, remember to lift the same thing in your own, for until you are unable to see critically but see only compassionately to lift, you also need cleansing. Let each wash the understanding of the other with Love. This is the meaning of Washing of Feet. Then shall perfection come to the whole group. Then shall you be able easily to love one another.

There shall be no failure. I am ever with you, to surround you with Love, to hold you fast in my heart and to give you precious gifts of Joy, strength, Light, life and Glory. Pray as One. Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Beloved of God,

Greetings, one and all. To you, Love has been given in full measure and in full Power to use first with one another and then upon the world.

Love is your true life. Love is your true expression. All else is born of that final gasp of darkness, which seeks to take with itself to oblivion all it may devour while it still has a spark of life left with which to destroy. Do not lend yourselves to its ways, either as individuals or as a group. Stand strong and with Joy in your Souls.

Love one another with mighty Love and the Light shall make you safe and secure forever. Edna Miriam

Seattle, WA

Most Beloved of All:

Whatever you lift shall be made one, which is good. Whatever you call good shall be made again into Love, which is full Light.

Can this fail? Can God fail if Law is the user and lifter?

Love is. Law is. Both work only good and very good.

Let love of Law use you unto its own perfection. Love is all. BE all love NOW. Let love control YOU fully. Let Light abide in you only, and in it NO darkness at all.

It’s late evening — 10:00 p.m. The trunk is crated, and all the rest is in a large freight box — wooden. I’ve packed and wrapped and tied up ten boxes — cartons for Yellow Pine Camp. Has to go in morning.

We’ve over a dozen parcel post packages to mail. Silver, towels — bath and kitchen — food, sugar, cooking spoons, etc. Have to furnish the Camp, except just kettles for cooking and dishes.

Had two wonderful meetings in Tacoma. On Wednesday they had the largest luncheon they’ve ever held in all these years — 125! Gave me $12 for my 3 hours!

Wish that you were here! How I love you! Deep love, Edna Miriam

Yellow Pine, ID

Beloved of Love and Glory:

Love has no limit. Love has all Power back of it and Love Releases the Substance for all Desires.

Open this night with Decrees for all your Desires for this whole group and for the world. You may be only that "two or three," but Light shall use you in such Might of Power, in such Might of Glory as has never before been Released.

Each pray a prayer of Love and Praise first. Then pray Prayers of Decrees. Then pray the prayer of "Let Power go forth and fulfill these Decrees." Each choose one personal thing to release Power upon and, in turn, all shall release Power on his week’s Decree. Each week make such Decrees with all releasing Power upon them.

Love enough will bring it to pass. I am ever yours, Edna Miriam

Yellow Pine, ID

To my most Beloved:

Stand in the Light forever and Light shall shine through you upon a weary earth. Light shall lift you high and it shall be a Fortress and a Bulwark before you. No enemy of God may penetrate it nor move through it to touch you.

Our prayers are heard of the Father and all shall be given as we decree. When you make decrees, you must remember to stand on and by your own Word. Why doubt and waver? Do you say, "I doubt not, I waver not, It’s not so" and then do both?

Decree your Soul’s Desires, true and steadfast, then lift all buried past doubts and fears as they arise in the conscious mind. In no way prepare a table for them to feed upon, either in minds or hearts. We have been granted all our Souls could ask. We already have both Vision of Spirit and of the Soul and full vision for physical eyes. We have been given health of Mind and body, physical strength and Success of affairs.

Much shall be given soon. Prepare the way for its coming. Be in a State of Grace and a State of Glory. Let all Glory be your Staff and Glory shall shine and lift all about you to a higher Realm. You can never rise high enough to satisfy the Father; therefore, seek to please the Father by diligence in joy and in effort.

All is well and very well. All is good and very good. Be in Love of Joy. You are somewhat remiss in praise. Can you not, each, do more of Praise? Pray now prayers of Praise. Be in Love steadfast and serene forever, each hour. I am with you, Edna Miriam

Yellow Pine, ID

So Beloved Ones:

The Lord is in His Holy Temple NOW. His Holy Temple is YOUR dwelling NOW. Therefore, honor the Holy Temple in which YOU DWELL NOW. Do you dwell well-grounded within your Holy Temple? Are you really breathing YOU back into your own body every morning upon your return for your day’s "work" and "lesson" upon earth?

If you feel weak, take seven deep breaths with a good stretch between each while the lungs are emptied. Do it slowly and use this statement on your outgoing breath: "I am NOW ONE with all the universe. The Universal Breath now moves through my soul and body all day long, making them over into God’s perfect Image and Likeness of power, of Strength and of Glory."

You shall be renewed and made glorious and strong NOW.

With all my deep love, Edna Miriam

Yellow Pine, ID

My Beloved Ones of Glory:

Be in Peace. Cease fretting over mundane things. Do the next thing next. Do all to God’s Honor and Glory and God shall make Increase of all your Substance. He shall make Increase of money, strength, business and Love, for one is as important as the other.

Shall He not provide for you in Abundance? Shall He not provide enough for your sustenance and what you shall wear? More than you can use or desire, when you "let" Him do so.

Let God be your True and Only Source. Let Him do all things to your Honor, for is not His Honor our Honor? What Honor and Glory have we of ourselves? All we have comes from above. Do the next thing next without any self-doubts, self-fears or in any way forgetting that He is the only Source.

I am with you, holding, standing, knowing and waiting for God to fulfill all promises. Edna Miriam

Yellow Pine, ID

Beloved of Law and of Glory:

The way before you is now filled with Glory. You are well established with your feet upon the Way of the Masters. Self-surrender and soul-discipline are your great, very great needs at this time.

Many become bored with the pettiness of the so-small details. They grow too weary to be bothered by the so-necessary everyday small things and so lose time, because the meanest of life’s daily duties can be made full stepping-stones to the fullness of all Glory. Let no small daily task in any department of life be too humble for your care in self-discipline for soul-expansion.

Redeem time. Be constantly constant in detail. Seek to love each task more. Seek to do it better and in greater speed. So shall you redeem time, which shall be credited to your soul expansion. This is the Law of "use that which thou now hast in thy hands." For the climb upward there is no greater need. To keep your Vows. To watch each task and finish it. To leave nothing for another to stumble over as he may seek to redeem time. To make each moment pay you the greatest of dividends, not only with a task well done but with some discipline unto the self to exalt your soul.

Each is to copy these Laws for use, moment by moment. I am ever with you in Power, Love, Life and full Light of Glory.

Your own, Edna Miriam

Yellow Pine, ID

Beloved Ones of Joy and Full Praise:

I am with you and my love encompasses you ‘round about, now and forever. Glories beyond all Glories are in store. Joys too great to bear.

All we need is a full, complete, continual surrender. You have only begun to surrender, even at your greatest point of present surrender. Seek ever for new ways of vowing, then becoming what you Vow. Surrender your whole self. Gather from your deepest past still more attitudes, opinions and prejudices to surrender unto God, the Father.

Your only Spoken Word is "Let." Your greatest surrender is only a crude beginning. You are still only learning how to surrender. Surrender itself takes time. Keep learning the "how" of surrender "whilst thou art in the ways." You are still babies in knowing what surrender is all about. Seek to learn what the true giving up of self is, what it truly means to be possessed of Love.

True surrender to be possessed of Love gives freely without counting the cost to self or things for some distant day. Give while you may to God and to man. Wherever you see or feel a need, there give. Surrender. Praise. Love. I am ever with you as Love, Edna Miriam

Yellow Pine, ID

My So-Beloved Ones:

These next two months are filled to overflowing with earth-lessons for everyone. Those who remember to operate on the following words, which really are States of Consciousness when lived, shall reap rewards and credits greater than at any future time.

Recognition: (Instant) This is mine or it could not come to me. It has my name upon it, which I gave to it as I sent it forth.

Acceptance: (Instant) This is mine to lift right now. I accept this as my present lesson. Let me, oh God, gather from it every tiny bit of knowledge for my future guidance and protection.

Repentance: Here I am, Father. Let Light shine upon the spot of unconscious memory that drew this lesson to me. Let thy Light cleanse and scrape clean the platter of my subsoul and lift it into thy Glory now.

Surrender: Here am I, Father, now surrendering unto thee all my past, present and future that I may be thy perfect Servant of All the Power.

Sacrifice: Father, let me find new things of self, those still buried in my subsoul, hidden from my conscious mind, to lay upon thy Altars forever. Accept my soul, heart, body and affairs as living sacrifices unto thee to be used as thy Servant and Strong Pillar in the Temple.

These explanations need not be followed exactly. The idea, "what do these words mean as given through me?" must be followed by Prayers of Praise.

One Law encompasses all Law. Love will fulfill all Law. Yet how can Love fill an already full vessel? How can you be filled unto all fulfilling except you empty the old from your vessel? Many Laws must be well-learned before the vessel can be fully emptied. You might empty it all at once, if you would but you don’t. You empty the vessel a drop at a time and the Father so puts in a drop of Light in that space within your vessel. Drop for drop, so He gives.

The Master waits to touch you with a magic Scepter of Love. Will you, can you give up to Light all past subsoul? Have you the strength? Or must you go on surrendering it one drop at a time?

You are Chosen, strong to live in Glory. Why dally in surrender of little self? You may ascend fully one bit at a time or all at once. What is your choice? Now? This is the daily "dying," which can be overcome by the complete sacrifice of self now. When Love Supreme possesses you until no drop or spot of self remains, Love shall then fulfill the whole Law within you and for you. Hearken. Heed. Surrender. Obey now.

It makes me very happy to know how close we are in Spirit and how closely we shall serve together in the very near future. Your prayers added to our prayers will shorten time, I know.

Love is Unquenchable. Faith is Unconquerable. Edna Miriam

Yellow Pine, ID

Beloved of Light:

Hold the Torch of the Master’s Light high enough to take on the full brilliance of the Shekinah Glory now pouring out upon earth. Power is coming from a Supreme Source of All Sources, direct from the Supreme Father. This Power is might beyond all might, Glory beyond all Glory, Love above and beyond all Love.

Now, shall one who neglects Love’s releasing every hour be found worthy to release this Power? Shall one who grows lukewarm every other hour or every other day be found worthy of such Power? If it causes such great confusion to allow a little Power to move through, how can the Father dare to allow much to flow through you? If the little you now can accept and "let" use you causes distress, how can the Father dare to "let" you have the whole Power of God? When you are half-alive, half God-conscious, half "trying," only a little Power moves through, unless you are moved by Love to a high point of the White Light of the Christ.

As a barometer measures falling temperature, even so do pain and weakness register your fall from a high state of consciousness to a new, low state of consciousness. Fall not beyond your highest point of white heat. It is your choice. Where shall you be found? High or Low? The Power moves forth. Stand ready now. Edna Miriam

Yellow Pine, ID

My beloved Group, most precious and dear,

Wednesday, 3:00 p.m.— As I wrote this greeting, the postmistress came in with the following wire.

Washington, D.C., via Seattle

The Secretary of War regrets to inform you that your son, 1st Lieutenant Russell J. Elliott, was killed in action in the Pacific area the 15th of December 1944, while being transported aboard a Japanese vessel. Confirming letter follows.

E.F. Withel, Act. Adj. General of Army

It’s a blow. In spite of the fact that I’ve expected it. When I think of the home in Seattle that Ted and I had ready for Russell, I’m laid flat!

All I need to do is keep my eyes and mind on God! I think you know how my heart is aching. I so wanted to see him and hear him again here on earth.

My Soul is singing above the break in my earthly heart and its lonely pain.

I love you very dearly and always, Edna Miriam

Yellow Pine, ID

My Beloved Friends and Chosen of God:

I love you! Each time I write that the Power is greater than ever in the past. It is true. Be quite certain that those words do not bore you when you listen to them, lest you lose an opportunity to release your own quota of this most Holy Power. God is not fooling. God will not be mocked. He has chosen as His most Holy Elect all those who choose to stand ever ready to be His chosen servants!

The fact we most often forget entirely is that our vibration falls and falls. When God’s need arises, when He needs us most as perfect instruments to "Let" His Power move forth to lift something in the world, we are as deflated as old, cold flat griddle cakes and no Power can move through the soggy mass.

Therefore, "keep your lamps trimmed and burning, filled with oil" lest when His need and your call comes, you are too low in spirit to do anything but gasp and cry!

When something hits YOU, it is God calling for your help to release Power!

When YOU are releasing it all the time, you’ll never need to be called. You’ll go along on an even keel, with life singing to you and for you.

Problems are God’s call to arms! Be ready! His Power has already answered them. God’s perfection is YOUR answer NOW! You are free!

All my Love. Your own, Edna Miriam

Yellow Pine, ID

Beloved of Light:

The Blue Ray of the Mother abides with you forever. It is a Consuming Fire to burn out all dross. This dross in each lies in the hidden rooms of the subsoul until the Oversoul seeks to Ascend its All. Then what has been hidden for ages boils up to the surface in many ways, thus allowing itself to be remade once more into Light, as it was in the dim beginnings of time, before the subsoul came up through all life of evolution.

When you freely lift it and succumb not to its clamoring for Power, then the body ascends with the soul and full Stature of the Christed One is achieved. When the egoic soul listens to subsoul’s plausible vaporing, then it adds to its power until it boils around underneath, eating away or dry-rotting the cells of the body. Sometimes it crystallizes the cells. Yet the ever-ingressing Fire of Love, the Consuming Ray of the Mother, so principled to burn up darkness, enters — and the war between Light and Dark goes on in the body itself, as the battleground it then becomes.

Therefore, the Law of the Consuming Fire of Mother Love is that it shall either burn out the dross or burn out and consume all darkness. Obedience to the Laws of Letting and Lifting will cause dross to be consumed for the complete purifying and full ascension of the body with the soul. Let all hidden things come to the surface of the conscious mind. Look yourself in the eye and then conquer all petty self.

Search and lift all that does not come up, ruling it in its foul lair of subsoul. You would not drink from a foul cesspool. Past self-prides, self-conceits, self-satisfactions are the foul residue left in the hidden caverns of subsoul. Now even the worldly subsoul must be lifted from the subsoul, leaving the body free to be healed and lifted or leaving the body to be burned out, thus freeing the hidden things to be taken to their own place to be chained for a thousand years.

Search the hidden rooms for negative little-self-me things. Surrender them for and unto the Ray of Mother Love to be consumed into pure Light, which is then added to egoic soul substance for daily use now. Substance has been released to go forth as Power of Love. Be in constant devotion and in constant Praise, now and every hour. The need for more Power of Light for our use in building is greater hour by hour.

Credits and gains shall be given according to your ability of Release now. Pray with ever greater fervency, with ever greater Joy, with ever greater strength. I am ever with you in Love, as Faith. Use Love. Use Faith. Use strength. Stand then. Pray. Love. Faith is Unconquerable unto all conquering of all things. My Love enfolds you. Edna Miriam

Yellow Pine, ID

Dearest Friends:

Your preparatory work for August 10 is almost over. Today, the Masters open the new Vibration. At midnight, between the last hour of July and the first hour of August, there was a stepping up of the Power moving through all of us. This continues until the 10th when the apex of release of Power is reached.

Be in Joy. You have, by continuous and unwavering allegiance to the Master, gained much in scaling the heights of Glory. All are to remember that the Master’s Path proceeds in steps. Only by climbing one step at a time, while building the next step and gaining the strength for standing upon and defending that new step, can the student become a "Master in Law."

Take time to become Law. Seek ever to live by and as Law. One Law well learned, until it becomes a life habit, is worth more than a book full of knowledge soon mislaid or forgotten in life’s turmoil of actions. Remember each is as important as his desire to be perfect. No one is small. No one is great. Everyone is a Neophyte always, for there are millions of Realms and Laws.

Only surrender is great. Hold fast to all gains. Be friends of God our Father. Love one another. Love is great. Consecrate yourselves by prayer. All is well.

With all my deep blessings and my love, your own, Edna Miriam

Yellow Pine, ID

My Beloved Ones:

Behold! An open door is set before you. Once you enter, see to it that you don’t back out, lest your backing out should again close it, lest it should one day close forever. Should God wait upon your giving in to self and backing out again throughout all ages? No. A time speedily comes when there will be no door opened unless you begin again at the bottom.

"Love rules me now. Love lifts me now. Love is my Shield, my Fortress, my High Tower. Light is my constant companion."

Allow no door to Realms above close upon you. Only when you present your backs to God’s doors are they closed. When you face the Doors of Light, they are held open until you lift your weakness to God’s strength. Let Love rule now, Edna Miriam

Yellow Pine, ID

My Beloved Ones:

God’s Door stands open. Have you entered? Have you again backed out into the cold and dark? Stay within the Doors of Light. Let naught cause you to fail. Hold fast to the Light. Let Love rule your heart. Let Love rule your Life. Let Love Reign as you. Stay firm within the Door of all Love.

"Love rules my heart. Love rules my Life. Love reigns as me." Some week’s work! Edna Miriam

Yellow Pine, ID

To my Beloved, Blessed Ones:

I bring tidings of Love. Love is Crowned. Kings and Queens shall rule, not earthly potentates but those of the Elect who have won through to be Crowned by the full Glory of the Christed Consciousness. You are Crowned by that Love, which brings the ability of Creators.

To Love God with the Love of God, this is the sum of all your needs. Love fulfills all Law. Let Love be your Power. Let Love move forth in ever-increasing volume that your creations may be fulfilled. Ask what you may, then release the Love to fulfill your wish. Let Love be the Substance to make solid your desires. Let Love fill your desire-molds. Love more. Let Love possess you.

When you cannot love a condition, turn from the condition and love God. He will then send through your Love enough Power to change the condition. This is Law. Let the Law of Love do the work. Love must flow freely through you to fulfill the Law of your life. And this Love must be the full Love of God, pure and undiluted by self.

Lift the self to be soul. Let the Love of God possess and use you unto the fulfillment of all desires and needs. So shall perfection follow and through the spoken word it shall be completed.

Love is all. Love is complete. Love is success. Edna Miriam

Dearest Friends:

To "know" means an incentive to active service. To be so much a part of Inner activities of service has a compunction comparable to nothing of earth. The time will soon pass. I’ll be back early in December, long enough for many lovely happenings and good times.

New Initiations began September 1. We win the new places on conquering on the same old things: "dispositions" and "conditions," as we are in subsoul and where we are as to spot, right now.

Of course, we all feel that a few new things to conquer would be easier but they wouldn’t because all we have to bring to the new is exactly what we are this minute. So, let’s tighten our belt, dig in and make every hour count. I love you most dearly, Edna Miriam

To my Belovedest:

You have come through this summer in higher Glory than all past summers. Yet we are lower in the Joy Vibration that Creation demands. Therefore, our Orders are to Praise more. Praise enough to open each one’s new Initiation Vibration is a necessity. See to it, therefore, that your prayers are prayers of Praise. Praise for past favors and more Praise for those to come. It is with your own Praise that God fulfills all promises to us. He cannot fulfill completely unless we do so Praise. This is the one Law that cannot be set aside for any, God or man.

Praise without end. Let each hour ring with Praises. Let each hour see you higher in Vibration than the last, until the Joy of Love brings every Creation into outer expression. I am ever yours and ever your own, Edna Miriam

Dearest Friends:

We have so few days left before September 19 and each is important because the amount of Power released through each of us is "set" by that midnight and will not be stepped up again until after November 1.

No limit is placed upon the amount to be released by each. The only limit is what each one’s heart will stand. When Power is sent forth upon a full Joy Vibration, the heart can take a limitless amount. The pure Joy Vibration is pure Shekinah Glory direct from the Supreme.

Miracles are performed upon a Joy Vibration. To reach the highest Joy Vibration, in fact, the only way it can be reached is through the Praise of God. Praise alone will bring Miracle after Miracle, Miracle upon Miracle.

This Praise of God is just a continuous saying in reverence before the Thrones: "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts," without thought of self, wants, needs or earth. To Become the Consciousness of God in ecstasy too great to be borne — this is the Praise of God that releases the Love of God as Substance, which does bring anything we have ever desired into full visibility. So, let’s Praise all we can in the remaining days until the 19th. Let’s form the habit of living each hour by the Praise of God. Rejoice and be glad. Now is the right time.

All my deep love, Edna Miriam

Beloved and my own dear Friends:

This is your hour of fulfillment of all desires and all the Promises of God. You are, each of you, your own Creator. You are your own present fulfillment.

Enough Love, enough Praise will surely release enough already God-given Substance — your own — to fulfill your dreams, desires, plans and needs. You can release as much Love and Praise in Joy as you desire in any given hour. Enough Praise fills your hour to overflowing.

Fulfill your own Promises. Enough Praise will do it. Fulfill your own Destiny. Enough Love will do it. You’ll never reach too high a point of Zeal, Love or Joy. You can keep on expanding, however, into a greater capacity. It takes more Substance to build a great ideal than for a small, "after-the-world-pattern." YOU can increase the fervency of your Praise each hour. YOU can increase the Power behind your Unconquerable Faith each hour, if you care enough about it!

Pay ever more attention to those small things of life. Details shall be your continued Law. And this is that Law. Heed. If there is a thing you have done or that you have left undone that is not good for all the world to do or not to do, then you are breaking a Law.

If all the world may do it at all times, if you can do it at all times, if your family can do the same thing at all times or leave it undone at all times, then it is good. If it cannot be done by all forever, then it is of darkness and so small a Law broken breaks all Law. This is Law.

To leave undone or to half-do a detail and leave it for another or yourself to stumble over, causes you to lose your high Vibration, for Law is broken. To cover one detail in carelessness or in a way which all the world cannot use also all the time is a broken Law and the least Law broken is all Law broken. Such causes chaos in the world and delays too great to be borne. For each Chosen to watch, therefore, all details shall release a mighty wave of Power to lift Terra again and to fulfill all Promises, all Plans, all needs and desires.

I love you so! And I declare for each of YOU a capacity so great each hour that your life will ever be one "Miracle after Miracle" and a thousand "Miracles upon Miracles."

Ever your own in love, Edna Miriam

My Beloved Students of Law:

To the individual has been given the full Power of a Creator. Hourly he creates graven images that he worships for a time. Under despair only does he turn to the Light from this image he has created of his own distorted opinions and prejudices, unto his own undoing.

Seek Truth and lift your lines, lest by use of that Creative Power with which you were endowed in the beginning, you have self-opinions and prejudices remaining underneath the surface of the conscious mind that are still creating falsely and without any consent of your conscious mind.

You are Creators born. Yet only under sacrifice of all self is full Power of Creation released to you for your use. Sacrifice petty self-worship. Surrender to Love. Edna Miriam
