You
cannot “get by” with “constructive
criticism” because criticism is wrong and of the self. Edna
Miriam treats when “it” comes into the outer “asking
for help,” then she operates. You cannot head groups without
taking responsibility for all who step into the “sound of your
voice” aura. Your eyes, ears and mind must be open to listen,
arms and fingers extended to feel people. You reach out and feel
someone is “hot” or “mad” about it or one
who is stone cold offended. It is better that another offends you
than for you to offend the world. Law is just and impersonal. You
must conform. When it hurts, it is self.
Clairvoyance and clairaudience operate from the glands in the head.
You can tune into a vibration or move into the Light. You don’t
see it as darkness ever. You do not think about or speak about
darkness ever. This is how we return
to God.
Many parents are too soft. When obeying Law has disgraced a child, leave him
alone. You cannot be soft. No time is better to discipline or to reprimand
than now. Do it right now! We all receive subliminal cues that are beneath
the threshold of consciousness. Your subconscious machine records this.
Practice orientation until you can stand anywhere and point to
North, South, West and East. The Cardinal points are our base of
orientation with the Source.
If you can’t tell where you are and when something should happen, you
are off base. Edna Miriam owes her basic orientation to her kindergarten teacher
in Tacoma City Schools. She said that you must have an orientation base to
stand and look North. A wrong thought adulterates your thinking in the North
area, your head, from which you consciously direct and control your life.
“
I don’t think” and “I can’t accept that” is
repudiation, which expresses as opinion and prejudice. Say “is
that so? Where did you get that? What’s the authority for
that?” Be open and accepting. Take everything under advisement
and consideration. This is how you remain open for something new.
The Law of Repudiation has no sense. It is a great “nothing,” the
great zero of life and the greatest obstruction to progress. Consciously
to repudiate anything pushes everything away, love, money with
the thing repudiated. Repudiation spreads like spores spread a
fungus.
Ask for Wisdom. Edna Miriam did this at age twelve and knew that
Wisdom was no good unless it makes you climb an octave higher to
get Understanding. God
gives Wisdom in the measure of your obedience to Law. Forgiveness is Ascension
to a point high enough to see the other fellow’s blockage. Acceptance
is not difficult, you just look into the Light. Do something about it: Open
your sun centers of Light, speak declarations of lifting, speak the word, declare
the Power for God, for them. To say, “A Shaft of Fire covers this,” lets
God’s Power move through to lift.
You can’t argue anyone into the Kingdom of Heaven. You don’t
argue to hold someone. Your ego must not intrude. Obedience and
Forgiveness gain
Understanding. When you ask, they give a Law. When you accept, you gain Wisdom.
Ask for Wisdom first and obey the Wisdom given, no matter how hard it may be.
Then Understanding comes.
When an idea comes through to give something or write a letter,
or a larger idea about your work or God, an explosion takes place
in that division of Mind
that illumines your mind, giving the interpretation and Substance to do it.
If it isn’t done on spiritual Power, it oozes away. Acting upon it immediately
without rationalization is wise, therefore. Once you put it into form, write
about it, it is put into your Star. Anyone with “ginger” does it
this way.
The world misunderstands forgiveness. The act is to move up to
your vision. “What
is that to you? Follow me.” Keep your nose clean. This is the keynote
for forty days of Soul Inventory. On 12th Night everyone is in prayer and we
move up another octave on our chord. “How can I love God more?” pushes
away Ascension, and you can fall several octaves at once. Forgiveness is a
state of being.
In the morning, before you put your feet on the floor, ask, “Which one
of me is taking over for the day?” I AM or little me? When another wants
to argue, drop a seed of truth and run! For an arguing child, put cotton in
your ears and say, “I am not interested in your opinions and prejudices.
I couldn’t be less interested.” Edna Miriam would slap her boys
with sarcasm: “My! The world is just waiting for you!”
Atomic radiation, fallout and the population explosion are good. Radiation
is a natural offshoot of the Aquarian Age. We must drink an extra quart of
water a day to overcome the effects. Radiation shall burn out of the bloodstream
all latent diseases. This is the secret of radiation. Earth’s rotation
is whirling radiation into the Sun.
A hesitant sacrifice means delayed results. We believe in an instantly available
God. The question is, do you believe in being instantly available for God?
January 13, 1963
God is always active! Edna
Miriam knew she had to prove this since she was twelve, to be active
from the outer to the highest inner and all in one. She had to remember
and be able to give it.
Now that the Gates are open, who will enter? Who will enter? Who shall claim
the prize of God through Christ Jesus? It is not yet known what you shall be,
nor has it appeared what you shall do. Not one smallest sacrifice has been
overlooked.
No one is asked to live beyond Vows greater than he is able to bear. Obey all
Laws given to you to the measure of the love you already have in praise of
the Eternal, and all shall be established unto you. Is there anything to fear?
Laws must be given on different levels, and this is where they
lead. No one is required to go higher than one’s present
soul desires. We seek to awaken greater desires.
Treatment for deafness: Place palms of hands flat on the ears, and as you bring
them out, cup them.
January 24, 1963
What
Laws have you gained from your past that you can apply? Law is no
good unless you obey
it. Do not permit the subconscious to rule an inefficient metabolism
by practicing wrong thinking. Watch your words and thoughts. “I
am alive and alert with the Mind of God and my brain cells are ablaze
with Light and Power.”
We cannot have inner conflicts about doing what we want
to do. The subconscious does not give up. At the first
sign of self-blame, stop, move up and say, “This
is right. This is good. This is God’s way for me. I am doing God’s
perfect work for me now, His way, according to His will.” Get rid of
an old pattern with new ideas and statements.
January 27, 1963
Every
small duty on earth is a gift to the Father, is raising a portion
of earth for your prayers
to be materialized on earth. Let the Mind of God be in you without
thought of “doing too much,” if you would perfect your
bodies. You think of the handicaps of the outer. Why not move up
to do God’s work? It is a privilege to be a Creator god, not
a detriment. From whence comes your strength? From the Supreme Father
of All. Then make the strength that uses you, the Mind, as supreme
as your prayers. Think of your service as given to God.
You have just a remnant of self. Obey. Only your selfishness and withholding
of self create delay.
January 29, 1963
The
voice is the final portion of the outer sheath called the physical
body, and the soul,
to be ascended. Egoic soul must listen to the voice of Oversoul before
it can hear the Voice at the Source. Each idle word sets the height
of the egoic soul’s Ascension, and any call or prayer, for
only the vibration of the tone of voice that can ascend the soul
in full soul flight. All of us have climbed, but tests continue until
we lift the last idle words or thoughts from all hearts. All must
be thoroughly “fumigated” of darkness and God has the
fumigating Power. Obedience says, “I accept.” Forgiveness
says, “I love.”
When someone blasphemes orally, it creates great darkness. When another criticizes
the blasphemer, Law uses that one to draw the evil darkness to one place for
lifting. It always fanned above one who has high vision so it can be lifted.
We are supposed to be lifting both blasphemers and blasphemy day and night.
We are now cleaning the underbrush of all
earth’s incompetence as quickly
as possible.
February 7, 1963
Propaganda against everyone
fills the atmosphere. Make a stand! They are vacuuming every word
of cursing and brainwashing, even the Nazi leftovers. Lift everything
that is affecting the masses, the children and dull ones who are
so indifferent.
The Law does not aid and abet the self. It takes strong, vitalized
declarations and standing to be healed. When it is past bearing,
stand and shout it and
you are healed. Every time you want to go “out,” you bind yourself
to it. Use this. Call children by name and command them to move into their
bodies in silence.
February 26,
1963
You are surrounded with
a wall of the Blue Ray that is so thick that nothing of earth can
penetrate unless you permit it. Your nerves are coated and protected.
When you make up your mind that nothing another says touches you
or enters you, you do not take it on! It causes resentment and hurt,
then hate. Lift it completely! You lift from the toes and it is good.
Then they will desist; it will be gone.
February 27,
1963
We
ascend just as far as our surrender, obedience and devotion take
us. We ascend as high
as we can, but never reach the ultimate! As soon as you think you
have surrendered, you form a block. Accept the fact that we have
never ascended high enough. Sharp words that result in “I didn’t
mean it that way” form an invisible block until your devotion
reaches high enough to see where you missed the mark. You can kneel
at the Source in devotion, then return and speak sharply.
Imagination, thinking, the mental life and emotions pull you down. All your
earthly actions must be as high as your acts of devotion. The Father uses the
Substance of our devotion and surrender.
Our words betray our tendencies
to hold out: “I was built that way. You’ll
have to take me as I am.” If you still need healing, you need to surrender.
The slightest hint of a taint of blame blocks healing. Who, under God’s
Laws, is responsible for your inner healing? Who can give it to you inside
your body? Who is responsible for your body temple? Sometimes you lift another’s
force or lift the other fellow to the point where you might suffer yourself,
but this is not lasting. Don’t think that lifting another’s force
can hurt your body, it is but a psychosomatic desire body pain you must lift.
To lift another, you must know what is wrong, therefore you are hit physically
because “seeing” the wrong, even at a glance, creates a debt, although
the motive is pure.
To return to God, one must reach
the point of expression where
one is surrounded with the impenetrable
twofold Ray of the Mother (balanced
integration/disintegration).
Say, “Here I am, Father,” and see only Light and devotion. That
is the Law. The taints of emotion, imagination, thinking cannot touch your
nerves then. The nerves quiver from the high vibration when you call upon the
Source. You must maintain your high contact during outer experiences to invoke
the Light instantly.
Our treatments are wiping out
the effects of propaganda. We
must speak the treatment words
aloud. When you reach a block,
you don’t “die” or
become ill, you just suffer on through it. Blame is the most subtle taint and
blocks the release of platelets, which become frozen. Blame sidesteps your
responsibility to the Source. When your desire is burning, you do it. Surrender,
obedience, devotion and forgiveness are our key words for Lent. The minute
you reach your “top,” you die out at the top. “No man can
give me more to do than God can perform as me.” Blame is illegal. “I
can last one day longer than anything that comes to me.”
A healer may say you must do something to be healed, the Church says you must
offer penance, but we say you must give up something inside. This all Law,
because some blocks to healing must exist: Wrong seeing, thinking, emotions,
wrong seeing of evil instead of Light. Edna Miriam hurts when one of her people
reaches a blind spot. Jesus wept. The person who repudiates truth blocks the
Power coming through when the platelets are loosed to flow through the bloodstream.
Platelets freeze on pride and blame, which run a close race for subtlety. A
block is any feeling of self.
When something comes to you,
reach up with your left hand
to the Beloved — hold
it in your right hand to do. If it is something violent, put it in a pitcher
in your right hand and lift it to God as quickly as possible. When “it” hits
the body, it must be lifted and returns as Power. No matter how greatly one
achieves, the pole remains slippery.
“
You cannot do it alone.” You
must take your loved ones with
you. The ones you must take are
those who hate you the most.
That doesn’t mean you make
them your bedfellows or not say, “This
is enough.”
Ascension is open to all, yet how long it takes depends on the greatness of
your sacrifice. You must gather each portion, whether she is conscious or unconscious
of it. When you meet one who is like a sister (or brother), hold her in prayer
forever.
Consecrate yourselves to the
Source and truly you shall have
the dream desires of your hearts
fulfilled in due season. Power
is released as fast as you prepare
your bodies in oblation before the Altar. Love cannot blame. Love cannot be
used for pride and be an oblation in surrender and sacrifice. When you take
down the veils of Maya and the delusions of earth, which lie between you and
the Source, then you share God’s Glory.
February 28,
1963
With
this conquering on your part and “I, if I be lifted up, shall lift all men,” you
shall succeed, for yours, all the world’s illness has been
lifted. You have been used for this. God does not fashion it so,
yet uses this form for good. As the incident is in the process, see
the Beloved only and treat. Know beforehand. Do your part. Take nothing
on! You have always known the answers. You knew more than God! The
outer meant more than God! “And I, if I am lifted up, shall
draw all to me! Selah!”
Give all thoughts about the
past to the Father as a gift,
all Desire, all Will, all
Imagination, all “my way” to do it, lift it, stretch the hands
upward and declare: “In this Radiance and Glory, open the mind, the heart
and every cell of my body nerves.”
March 3, 1963
The greater credits go
to the ones who struggle the greatest with self. You are doing your
duty from where you are, which can bring no greater credits. The
Father takes you higher for greater credits.
How much nearer are you
to seeing and hearing
in a year? Only a hair’s
breadth separates a proper joy in being used for seeing and receiving and crediting
yourself. The only credit to take is in being a perfect instrument! When you
are there, you will look for no credit just to be used for the right thing
at the right time. It is a delicate sensitivity to achieve.
A higher point of sensitivityis
coming now, not only
to know before another
asks, but to know before they even think of it. Do not give information before
the proper time. The next step is to pray and broadcast what you see and have
the other fellow tell you “what.” Make the other fellow feel big;
do not make yourself big in their eyes. They do see you by feeling big. The
less another deserves it, the more he feels big.
A Sagittarian’s great conquering is to “suffer fools gladly,” which
is an understanding born of knowledge of the world’s frailties.
March 7, 1963
Put
caps of Light on those in administration and declare that only love
can use them. Whatever
they do shall work no harm, only love. The “caps” or “hoods” will
allow nothing from one mind to another except the right, beauty,
love, harmony and the building of nations for God. They will hear
no other words. Use this treatment only with clean hands and a pure
heart.
Watch your step when you hear a raucous voice and yakkety-yak. The subconscious
reacts and closes out what it hears.
Marriage vows are
wiped clean after
ten years when there
is no reciprocity.
Some women ask their husbands to do it once and when they don’t, they
step in and do it themselves. The effort it takes to push the other fellow,
one could do it one’s self on God’s Power and strength.
God is weary of evil,
bandied about from
mouth to mouth by
people who have no
idea of what it is.
To set aside evil,
say, “Let God make it so. Let
evil be set aside, lifted. Let it be so.” No special formula is required.
When you see the evil, speak immediately whatever comes to you, words of “letting” to
have it consumed and not allowed to overrun the world creating disaster.
No matter from the world lasts free of deterioration, so the new shall grow
up and consume the jungle of the old. Then rocks, trees, earth and water shall
rejoice and sing praises. All is a matter of giving up the outer self, force
and tears to tighten you line of Light until it can stretch far enough.
During Lent, the veils of Maya may be rent asunder. This is your Lenten Questionnaire:
You are responsible according
to your degree. The Power is so great now and you must be ready to
receive it. Make an oblation of your bodies to receive it that Power
does not destroy them.
Let no words
that are less
than perfection,
pass your lips. “Father,
here I am. Fill me. Father, Thy glorious child I am, Thine in Thy magnificence
of perfection. Let there be more life.” Speak it and know it greatly.
Speak high, magnificent words of glory and believe them. Believe it and it
shall be so. Glorify the Father. Praise without ceasing. Be consistent. Be
repentant. Be steady.
March 10, 1963
Those
who seek to perpetrate evil find less and less Power to use. Soon
they shall be floundering.
The canopy of peace is like a veil, though not like the veils of
Maya. It represents a veil of Light between bodies and minds of evil’s
functionaries and what they seek to accomplish of evil. Lesser satellites
of evil will forget what to do, and the taking of life will therefore
be lessened, because they shall forget.
The Power we invoke of Light serves as restraints. None of the Light, Power
and Glory we evoke with our prayers can ever escape, even that spoken by those
who grow lax or lukewarm. The Power does not escape, nor can their good words
spoken be neutralized or misused as darkness, as in the past. It leaves the
lukewarm powerless to flounder and no one will listen. The Light shall shine
on the evil doers and show them up. Special Lights shine on special places,
where evil is concocted and their evil words shall turn and rend them.
Now we
are ready
for the
life-giving
Power of
the Beloved,
the Christ.
Let none
use harsh
words today,
this Light
must be
released
softly.
Pray and
declare
that each is serving through the words upon their lips. He knows; do not explain
to God what is needed or how evil the evil is, but to lift humanity and the
nations for the permeating and penetrating of all Power and Light, which like
radioactive material can consume the one who handles it if darkness is mentioned
or concentrated upon. Just lift and declare it perfect now. We must reach out
with
our arms and lift each, holding them in this soft, penetrating healing ray,
which shall magnify all. Each is to partake of it.
March 17, 1963
Yesterday’s greatness
is not great enough for this day, nor today’s for tomorrow.
You have always been Chosen. You were sent to earth Chosen, and is
God one to change His mind? Know whom you are. When you do not remember,
it is because you let your vibration descend. A descent is forgetting.
Memory is the Light itself through you.
You are always taking vacations from
responsibility of soul. And you can
sit, stand, walk or run and say “God bless thee” or “I am thine” or “I
ever think of Thy Throne” and still be descended out of the Light.
To move up and feel the arms of Light about you, to be blinded by the Light
every second, this is memory. This is remembering. This is holding your point!
If
you
say, “It can’t be done,” you are saying, “I
am too weak, too frail, too little, too selfish to love God enough.” There
are all degrees of Light from the lowest hell of earth to the Source. God has
opened the Gates, hauled you through, and is continually hauling you through
on the end of a line, back again!
Stay
where
your
work
is
great.
And
remember
one
thing:
One
thought
of
self, “I
am doing it right” or “I am noble and everyone should take my hand
and acknowledge it,” and you are sitting in the mud with the evil ones.
Of course, with the Light of protection around thee, it is a little spot of
mud but it is still mud.
When
you
love
God
enough,
your
mind
is
concerned
with “I love Thee more,
I love Thee more!” What then can go wrong, for the soul is in charge.
Anything that comes to you then is lifted, for you can say, “Father,
here is more to change. Hold me! Let me climb higher to Thee!”
Do
you
think
that
God
can’t
finish
the
job?
Even
without
your
help
He
shall
finish
now
what
you
have
brought
this
far.
If
only
one
stood,
He
could
finish the cleansing! Many have achieved in consciousness but have not won
through in total conquering, for they degrade their bodies and minds with lesser
curiosity and pride in the world.
Disorder,
delay
and
loss
of
time
is
like
using
a jeweler’s
polishing
wheel for a diamond on coarse steel. Edna Miriam came to prove that Ascension
is possible on earth while here.
White
Light
goes
on.
This
is
the
first
Lent
since
the
Master
was
here
when
less than half-way through Lent, the evil was conquered to the point so the
White Light can come through. Let’s keep it there for the final healing
of cancer, growths and “what-have-yous.”
March 18, 1963
Jesus
became the Law by accepting full responsibility for Messiahship when
he said, “I
am the way, the truth and the light.” Conquered imagination
becomes vision. When we turn imagination up as vision, the molds
are strong as steel. Passing judgment is a form of being blind to
the Law of the Lord.
March 23, 1963
Always
maintain yourself, your body, your whole being in time with the great
Cosmic Rhythm
of your proper Division of Harmony. Neither hurrying nor tarrying
is balanced and you tear asunder high vibrations of harmony when
you do either. Allow time, God’s time, for all tasks. Your
Guards, the Father and the Power can and do remake, revitalize and
restore you completely when you allow them and accept so strongly
that it reaches fully into your subconscious.
Everything is important; all the little things are great details. What you
do, do properly, leaving nothing out of place. That is the Law of Details.
The Law of Consideration is to be considerate of everyone around you and of
everything we construct and do. Seek advice, not the weary babble of one who
thinks not and asks and asks. This is a baby. The mature one checks his mind,
brain cells, emotions, experiences, even the physical cells and looks about
before even inquiring. This is maturity.
March 24, 1963
Your
morning prayers are registered, each according to your degree and
kind, and you are eligible
to open your new 1,000 days of burnt offerings. Do not “know” too
much. Always check on your direction, your seeing and hearing, a
move you are not sure about. You may not ask questions about what
you can figure out on the outside. They must be according to your
direction to move. Seek advice on anything out of the ordinary! Edna
Miriam does not delay answering unless you ask something illegal
or that you could answer yourself. You have reached a new place of
Ascension now. From here on the climb is very steep. The fall is
mighty if one is not eligible to seek it. If you were not eligible
for it, you would not know about it. It requires grit, determination
and discipline.
You are all moving up. Do as much as you can with a smile and compassion. Make
every hour a gift to our Lord. Make every task a gift to the Lord and remember,
He is One.
Every weed pulled, every piece of paper picked up from the front yard in devotion
puts a line up to someone we would lift. Do not curse it, for it is a gift
to you. Make it pay all of us dividends, even picking a thread up from the
floor is lifting force from earth if you so declare.
The Power is “on tap” at all times.
Make much of each small act. Anything less is
disgruntlement. Make the smallest act a ritual
just to keep
things straight and square.
You
are the world’s
lifters and you can make every breath you inhale
and exhale count to release evil upward. You shall have
compassion with no thought of self, and God can use you to His advantage
with everyone whom
you meet. As you lift all on your lines, you shall have miracles. Lift and
lift and lift relatives and friends and know the next step shall be the right
step. You shall know that it is.
You
have each created tightness every time you have said
you have “no
room,” and you have squinched it more. Do not make the thing you do not
want, rather be quiet. Saying, “It is perfect,” is better— and
not from the teeth out! Do not use such comments and complaints as conversation
pieces. Stop creating tightness! Create only beauty! There is no complaint
but disorder.
March 25, 1963
No
one can set aside the greater conflicts hugged by the ego. If they
live by the sword of
fighting, they die by the hour. The more they blame, the more they
pity themselves, the greater the suffering — but they are moving
UP, ascending to the Laws. You are on your own Path of Choice. Not “once
for all” but a choice every hour!
Giving God the credit must come from the toes, with contrition
of heart, living the Laws gladly. Question yourself at night — Have
I done this? Have I been aware? Have I obeyed, observed? Check
on self constantly. Have I been
considerate of others always, in every way? Where have I failed in obedience?
The Pathway to Hell is paved and smooth. Use Logic, Reason, Discretion, Discrimination,
and Discernment on each day, and dig out the self, for Light cannot move into
one who is in self-satisfaction. There is no place.
Rejoice
over the little things, over all. Rejoice over
another’s
petty selfishness and his tremendous desire
to give and do. Rejoice that the Father
has strengthened you for all the work you must do and have done. When you think
you have done anything yourself, you deserve to be shot at sunrise and then
again at night! When you are willing and you desire to do with such a mighty
desire, you go on and on! Do the next thing next and demand of self.
When
I mind my own business,
I know I am helping
THE GREAT OVER-ALL!
There must be no questions.
When the one desire
is to do more, no
one can shove you
off the path! But God help you if you go to bed without having made this a
Day of Judgment and release Power to fill in the holes.
This
is the secret of making enemies
your friends. Just say, “You are
so wonderful,” no matter what they’ve done, even if they spit on
you. The day comes when they dry up, spit no more and return.
Rebellion
and repudiation of — is under the surface when there is no
order in one’s thinking! This is where one reaches the “point of
no return”! Start with logic, reason, discretion, discrimination and
discernment as your multiplication table. When the Kingdom of Heaven is open
to you, never give what you “see” and “hear” unless
you consult with the Queen. It would have wrenched you, and made you a medium — and
there shall be none such in the Society of Healing Christ! It is time to mature
instantly and check notes.
March 26, 1963
Indifference bleeds the
Light from Power, and it goes out as black clouds that return to
us as accidents here. Our morning and evening prayers direct it properly,
or evil ones use it. Law dictates all, and there is a routine Law
for this. Mind, Power and Substance must be directed and controlled
every minute of every day. If left undirected and uncontrolled, they
are picked up by those monsters who are seeking fuel and they double
themselves. Mind, Power and Substance double on hate and love.
Every night before midnight, make the day right. Lift all and
set the keynote for the day and the Power to release. Each day’s
good is not good enough for tomorrow. Make each a day of burnt
offerings.
April 4, 1963
A lazy person who has made
no vows is irresponsible. When you assume a responsibility, you take
on all the ramifications and must hold forever, no matter what.
A cycle of 1,000 days of burnt offerings is 37 lunar months in
which every day is a perfect day in sacrifice of self. We glance
at it to lift whatever
we see or hear. When you begin, it is automatically a challenge to lift force
and dark substance from our own separated Mind, Substance and Power. It’s
like working for patience instead of poise, everything challenges your patience
about 1000 times a day! Edna Miriam first began hers in 1922. She made it 600
days and got brother-in-law-itis. When you reach the point when you involve
no personality
in it, you are justice itself.
Law
of Details: You get
caught out in
big ways if you
don’t
attend to all
details always.
For instance, you can
put things in order
where they
belong and straighten your closets, a little at a time! Each day,
take five minutes
and straighten one corner. Think about doing it every day, and do something
about it daily. There is no excuse for throwing things down, so put it in order.
Keep letters together in straightened piles, and touch them to send a blessing
to the writers.
Those
who live in disorder are
nearest to the animal
stage, one step from living
in a cave. All you can do with another is to pray and broadcast the Law: “You
are living under the Law of Divine Order.” Put the messy one on a sheet
of Light, and brainwash him of laziness. Keep it going. You can create order
if you must. If your details are not in order, you lose under Initiation. When
you do it often, you do it well.
You can complete 1,000 days of burnt offerings on attention to detail alone.
You can ascend in a second, stand a second, and do it. “Lord, don’t
let me miss a detail today.”
One
of the greatest Ascension Laws
is full consideration, which lifts
you above the little ways
of inconsideration. “Lord, here I stand, ready, able
and willing to do all my work and everyone else’s, too.” You apply
the five Laws this way: Logic, Reasoning, Discretion, Discrimination and Discernment.
Seek advice of experts because you can easily get off the path. Watch a good
hostess and do it the same way. Charge your brain cells to learn something
new.
Use your powers of observation. Can you remember your home at age ten? Can
you remember your teacher at age fifteen? Can you remember the details of your
last vacation?
If
you don’t “see” where another put it, ask. There is a
difference between seeking advice and not exercising your brain cells. What’s
your head for, but to use? Are you greater than your body? Use your brain cells
for whatever you must do. Remember the names and numbers that are necessary,
no more. It is a matter of what is important to you. Edna Miriam worked for
four or five years on her desire to remember names, and the ability came. Work
at
what is important, and pay attention to everything you do.
Seek
facts. Just because someone
on TV tells all about it,
doesn’t mean
it’s so. Do not go to an opinionated ass for advice, and do not mistake
an opinion for advice. Seek advice of someone balanced. Politically, go to
the best. You live by honor of God, loyalty to God. Apply a just appraisal
and do not take it into yourself!
You
cannot steal time without
spending your own soul substance.
A woman whom Edna Miriam’s knew, stole time constantly from her family and friends,
and she was never on time in her life. She spent the last three years living
in a body that was a log to pay for all that stolen time. She would say, “My
time is important.”
You
cannot steal another’s hope or reputation without paying a debt.
Everything you say is either a blessing or a curse. Any stealing, especially
of time, causes paralysis. Even if it’s unavoidable, the debt remains.
For example, Edna Miriam’s appointments may run over because the Masters
come, but students can’t be late. Edna Miriam pays for this at night
and prays more for others who had to wait, and fills the gaps.
We
live in eternity, but we use time
and space. If someone takes
your time and talks and talks
and repeats, the repetition
is no good. Tell them, “You
are taking my time and God’s with this, so stop repeating.” The
only way to heal another is to stand him on his own feet and do something about
it! When someone petitions you for help, say with a rummage sale, you need
not make excuses for what you do with your time. Seek the sweet, firm, final
way of living in honor and loyalty to God and integrity of soul. This is the
Law: When someone is wasting your time over the phone, say, “I hear the
bell ringing.” It will be true because this is your signal to pray.
Time
is of the essence
now. Stop wasting
time. Spread
out like a five-pointed
star. Taking care of your physical body is important for rest. Take time to
consider the universe and God. Work out a balanced life: Eight hours of hard
physical labor, eight hours of diversion, and eight hours of sleep. If you
skimp on diversions, they put you to bed. Diversions can be anything that brings
you Joy.
Everything
under the surface
must
become Light.
All this depends
on
how you use
time. Show
me what a
man does in
his odd
moments, and
I’ll tell you
what kind of man he is. Once we write, read or hear it, we are responsible.
If you feel you have a taint, and can’t become perfect in Ascension,
that will become true.
April 11, 1963
The
Laws on stealing time: Edna Miriam’s slow walk to the corner for the bus was sloughing
off the outer physical. The only way Edna Miriam can pay her people’s
debts for everything she mentioned about “stolen time” is
to be early at an appointment. Being “early” is the only
way she can pay debts for her people. She cleaned house this trip
was to take back force for her people. When you are early, thank
the Father for giving you an opportunity to pay for “stolen
time.”
You challenge yourself when you say, “Poor little me. I’m not worthy.” Say, “Father,
You know how I love You. Let Your Light move through me,” etc., or you
challenge evil. When you cross your arms and speak, you challenge evil. Just
quietly say, “That’s enough.”
Edna
Miriam “saw” as a child, and she did not deviate but stuck
to it. She was born knowing that someone had to practice and be the perfection
of God and the Christ. She always did her best, especially when things were “killing” her.
She would say, “Let it come. I am up.”
“
My
one virtue was
to stick and
hold that Light
is stronger
than darkness.
It’s
all I’ve
had and it’s
free, 24 hours
a day!” She
never took it
on but viewed
it as Substance
that belonged
to God, and
gave it to Him.
You need not
take on anything
that is not
your own. Lift
it and say, “I’ve
been a jackass,
but here I am.
Use me and please
take this, Father,
it’s
Yours.”
Edna
Miriam came
to prove that
you can do
the hardest
work
in the world
of competition
and remain
fully conscious “over there.” This is being
able to compete among men while living freely on the inner. The statement is, “I
can last one day longer than this test. This, too, shall pass.”
April 21, 1963
You are like vacuum cleaners
wherever you go, and you keep yourselves aware, not in censure, blame
or condemnation, but to cleanse, to lift, to clean up the last darkness,
to devitalize darkness by letting Glory move forth through you.
April 24, 1963
The
greatest harm to walk earth is not from agents of darkness and evil,
but it is the weak
ones who just let darkness pile up in their lives through neglect
or a “what’s the use” attitude. “What’s
the use” is a curse, a true curse.
Dedicate every physical pain to lift force from the hearts and minds of men.
We must declare accumulated force lifted from hearts and minds. You do not
move in to disturb the individual.
First,
hold individual using force
out here before you.
Feel that you lift
them (arms held out
with hands uplifted).
Say for the individuals, “Father,
let all conflict, inner and outer, be lifted from the mind and heart of this
individual.”
For
his affairs, say the statement
again using the words, “the affairs,
personal and business.” Personal means relationships as family, and business
means partnerships, etc. The force must be lifted from the individual’s
mind and heart. Then the force must be lifted from his affairs and business.
May 6, 1963
When our capacity has grown,
we must fill it with beauties and glories above for our contemplation.
Only contemplation of greater things than we have known can give
us Comprehension where we are, stepping up our understanding, opening
the vision to the point of having hearing added to it. Comprehending
all Wisdom while leaving undone the practical, methodical, daily
details of earth is no good. We need balance.
Healing
takes longer
where there
is disobedience
to the outer
scientific
law of the
physical.
We must conform
on every
count. This
is where
Logic, Reason,
Discretion, Discrimination and Discernment enter, the application of which
comprises full Wisdom.
June 7, 1963
Be rigid in your discipline
of self. You reach a point where an idle thought creates its kind.
The instant you have an imbalance, you know you must choose. To let
go of any part of your devotion, consecration or dedication would
precipitate a fall that would be billions of light years. If any
force emanated from the individual, it would shatter the memory of
what he or she had been.
This
is the true
fall of man
or of the
Gods! To
lose consciousness
of the rapture
of standing at the Source. The memory of having had something is that which
urges man to recapture the ecstasy, and in all ages there have been two opposing
and conflicting ways: Those who give up life to achieve it, and those who repudiate
it completely, entirely and regress.
Without
rejoicing, man is nothing,
for gratitude is the first
Law of Increase. All growth comes under the great Law of Appreciation
or gratitude. Gratitude
and joy are the vibrations
that keep one from slipping
into the mud of self. You
cannot rejoice if you are bound to the little self, for it demands praise from
the higher self. To touch the vibration of praise, one moves into the high
Principle of Joy. To rejoice and be glad under all conditions is the one thing
to work for, for the declaration, “This is good” must be born under
the spirit of praise and devotion to God.
You
must watch for self-righteousness
and intolerance. Anger added
to a holier than thou attitude for being self-appointed to wipe out
evil, plus a beginning
to hunt for it to satisfy this desire to make the world perfect and to eradicate
anybody who deviates from the Law — add all this and you have the anatomy
of a fanatic zealot.
June 9, 1963
We invoke the Supreme Power
with our words. We have passed from the shadowy influence of the
Piscean Age, which was an age of emotional tears and desire to escape
from life, into the Aquarian Age, and are firmly established in an
age of greater Power. No reason exists now for the Piscean vibration
to influence anyone materially or emotionally. No one needs to be
an escapist fish, who cries and pities himself.
True,
we may weep
about humanity
at times, but
only in Compassion
or Joy. It does
no good to pity
the masses
or to challenge
God by asking
why He permits
war, illness or tragedies. Your spoken word releases Power, and
God moves in when
you say “Let Light fill him.” This is our work with God. The Aquarian
Age requires servants who release undiluted spiritual Power, not almost-hardlys.
We
offer our Declaration of Unquenchable
Love as a sacrament — it
is more than mere earth-words.
If this were not true, the
spoken Word would hold
no virtue for healing or creation. In our choice of words we have free will.
When we use negative words, we step off our Chord of Power. Words work on a
knowing plan. God holds and guards us even in our misconceptions, because when
we are earnest, yet mis-speak, the Father turns off the Power instantly so
we cannot create more darkness.
Our
Declaration
of Love conveys
to the Councils
the depth of
our desire
to serve God
and to be Christed.
This protects
us from being
squeezed between
the pages of a book. Let the Declaration of Love be the Covenant between you
and your God. This is the greatest miracle of this age.
June 10, 1963
There is no limit to the
strength of God to use you, the Love of God to use you, nor to the
Joy and exaltation, Illumination and the Wisdom to use you daily.
Only idle words that do not express sovereignty of soul hinder you.
There is no difference in effort between service of soul and service
to
self.
June 16, 1963
How
many hours of rejoicing and Ascension have you known this week? Do
you love God just because
He is God, and not because you want something? Love can be diluted
by selfishness. You get from life everything that you give to God,
minus your deductions, which are idle words, resentments, criticism,
gossip. Don’t let your eyes rove about the world’s business,
except to see things to lift.
It
is easy to declare
everything good when
you see only God’s side. For
example, people elected to political office have senior Chronological Age,
no matter how they handle themselves. You cannot know how another would do
in the President’s place.
We
are on only one side, God’s
side. If we stand on that,
a God-inspired person can lead the nations. Declare the Power moves
through him and all leaders
to establish them in the Love of God. Do not try to like them. Love God.
June 18, 1963
Sliding
down the greased pole of consciousness is losing your vision and
rhythm. Thinking
of these things twenty-four hours a day is not possible. You can’t
be objective and always counting. But through Imagination, you can
glance up 1,000 times an hour, and can thus see your vision. Accept
God as both state of consciousness and a place and heaven as the
same thing.
Every lifespark has to enfolded into
the Light from which we descend.
The material of the outer sheath
is pure Light. These abortions we
walk around in are not
in image and likeness of God. He created us perfect. We made the mess, but
everything written about our perfection is true. We can reach it again. For
instance, a flounder has two eyes when it is young. Later, as it lays flat
on one side, its two eyes move to one side. If God can move the eyes of a flounder,
what can He do for us?
We
have the
ability
to choose.
God gave
us all
Wisdom,
and we
call it
will,
but He
never
gave us
will to
use as
we please.
He only
gave us
free choice,
in
all ways. We can go through stone walls if we love God enough. What price are
you willing to pay to return to the image and likeness of God? It requires
rigid self discipline, perfect honor, perfect loyalty, perfect integrity. Honor
to God above all things. Loyalty to God above all things. Integrity to God
above all things. All for one and one for all. When we accept this, we submit
to rigid discipline and surrender self. We sacrifice all for training, which
is rigid obedience.
What
price are you willing
to pay for healing imagination?
Our Power comes from
the Source. If you have
a dirty ditch and pure
water pours through,
it will be cleansed, but the length of time of cleansing depends on
size of the
stream of water poured in. It is the same with us. We can open flood Gates
if we choose and clean the ditch instantly. Start with a few Laws, and stay
with them, think on
them. Watch your emotional
life. You must choose
the price you’ll
pay to be remade in image and likeness of God. There is no “too late.” It
is just too soon.
June 24, 1963
If
you want to wipe out the past, lift and don’t recreate it.
When one is sentimental, one is apt to become boisterously, aggressively
positive in the wrong
places.
June 26, 1963
Exercise
your faith with the words you use about arthritis. “Faith is
the Substance of all the bone tissues. Pure faith moves through these
hands. I
am now conforming with this beautiful Divine Pattern of beautiful
hands. Every extra bit of Substance and tissue is melted and dissolved
away from the bone. Fire from the sun body moves through these joints,
melting and dissolving all unneeded material leaving the joints perfect
and normal.”
Look
at a picture
of beautiful hands. “Because
God takes
the high
places down and builds the low places up and makes the crooked
places straight, He
is now taking down and making these knuckles perfect. Thank You Father.”
This
house has become a
Temple and an Altar
before which you surrender
to God to be used
by His power to lift
and to pay all your
debts. The Love of
God possesses you, wipes away all blame and resentment, and your Path
of Destiny is open
before you. “Father, hold me, fill me, let the work be done down here.”
For
healing, “Let their bodies, every cell of their bodies, be permeated
with the Holy Ghost the fire that burns out all dross, cleanses all glands
and makes them every whit whole. Let them walk in the strength of the Almighty.
Name, your strength is the strength of God. Your love is the Love of God, and
the Life Spirit of Joy and rejoicing possesses you now. The absorbing Power
of the Almighty is cleansing Name’s tonsils, is healing them. Their tonsils
are healed. Every gland in their bodies is functioning perfectly, each one
carrying on its own business.” Don’t consort with any darkness
by any doubt of this.
June 27, 1963
Investing
your soul substance in another is selfish possession. When you possess
one from or on
earth, you use your soul substance to establish an inverted and sagging
earthly umbilical cord that you trip over and fall into — you
can even lose your body over this. You must withdraw all possessive
lines, which cause a lack of energy and abundance in your material
affairs. Reach out arms of Light to those business contacts whom
you would call. You must keep this going daily.
July 1, 1963
Treatment
for overweight: See the White Light of Christ moving into every fat
cell, melting,
dissolving and absorbing it. See a slim figure and thank the Father
for it. In the morning say, “Move with your body, which is
slender, graceful, perfect.” Oversoul absorbs every cell that
does not conform to a perfect figure.
July 5, 1963
Love is a quality of soul,
the brooding, yearning, compassionate mothering Principle, absorbing
all except that which the individual holds out with the little self.
Whenever I go to the Source, the one thing I know is that love is
all-comprehending, all compassionate, all pervading, all permeating,
all leavening. It is the activity and heat of the universes. Love
expressed on earth is illustrated in the worrying, travailing, yearning,
all encompassing, protecting quality in man. It is not something
you can define; it is!
Ascension
is a consciousness of radiance
greater than anything
on earth. Faithfulness
to Principle counts as Ascension credits. All credits do not deal with Ascension.
A demerit not only is lost as an Ascension credit but, according to the demerit’s
weight, it may take from or subtract from the stored Ascension credits. Where
one is climbing in Ascension, each demerit is a weight pulling backward and
downward, a weight on the soul. It takes a flaming, burning Desire to take
one to the heights.
Most
miracles come from the silently
shouted words, “Peace, be still” or
words of divine action, “Thou shalt be healed” or whatever is needed
to overcome another’s negativity. You waste time in vain repetition that
could be better spent in reaching the top. Plan where you want to go and then
struggle with all your heart and soul to climb the cliff above. Sometimes it
is like a fly man walking up a wall. The position is precarious and you must
make a supreme effort that is constant to scale the walls.
July 7, 1963
It
isn’t enough to
just live by Principle and do good. It takes burning Desire, and
devotion given to the Being of Light who walks earth. Without devotion
you lose something and don’t have glory in your soul. Obedience
to Principle makes you feel good, holy, noble. But devotion to the
Father gives Love and Compassion.
July 8, 1963
If
you are following Jesus the Christ on the Path of Ascension, you
cannot take in anything
that deals with personal disturbance, you cannot recognize anything
that disturbs — hate or anger in other fellow — to you
it is not there.
The
practical “how to conquer” is the hardest thing for you to
confirm each day. Declare, “This day I dedicate hours to saying ‘yea,
yea’ and ‘nay, nay’ to all things.” Make negative events
into gifts to God and use only love (for example, in phone calls). Present
yourself as loving and understanding. Dedicate your first thought in the morning
to conquering self that day.
When you truly desire to achieve, you know who you are and where you are going.
Now you will be conscious of whom you are and how great your place and how
little you would feel if you let God down.
July 14, 1963
God’s
Love is always there. But how much do you love God? Your lights look
like a worn,
bare peacock feather when you are not up. With our bodies, we are
living in last of the Earth Age. With our love and emotions, we are
living in the Venus Age. With our mental attitudes, we are living
in the Jupiter Age. With our souls, we are living in the Vulcan Age.
July 15, 1963
When God sends a great
idea to earth, He also send the people who can do it. We move up
to the right agent. First were those who had Chronological Age and
had to have a chance, and many who were with Edna Miriam fell by
the wayside.
God cannot promise us no obstacles, nor
a path without a few serpents or rough
spots. The climb back to our original places is not yet fulfilled. This way
is gradual ascension. No steep cliffs to climb now, no walls nor quicksand,
no chasms nor abysses. God has given us the Power of creating our desires.
If our desire is abyss-ward, we shall leap over it or over cliffs we created
off our path. We must return from wherever we find ourselves. We can put up
our hands and ask for a chariot of fire to rescue us.
Henceforth,
this is
a Law,
to be rescued
instantly.
The price
is surrender.
Lay aside stubbornness and wilfulness. We must know we will be rescued instantly
upon call. The Covenant we make here must be ratified under surrender, acceptance,
love of God and devotion expressing on earth. Only what we recreate may touch
us.
July 22, 1963
All you need to do is love
more and more and do not let yourself down for one instant of time.
It is a necessity for you that you keep your vibration as high as
is possible. There is only one Glory for you, the Glory of your love
for your beloved, his love for you and the two of you loving God
as you do with all your heart, mind and soul. Just ahead of you lie
such beauties and such wonderful companionship and understanding.
Hold fast in all ways to your gains. Do not let anything drag you
down. There is only one way for you, my dear, and that is the up
way and the exercise of confidence in the Power of God to overcome
all obstacles and the quiet assurance that we will fulfill all promises
made, and so it shall be.
July 24, 1963
The only imperfect thing
is when we speak a word imperfectly, things do not come out perfectly.
When faith is great enough, the Father blesses, and all works together
for good. True! It has not been hard for you to accept for you have
always loved God.
When
you hold completely
to detail,
you slip not,
not even a
little. You
must do so
before you
can see and
hear. It is
nonsense to
have even a
small taint,
and to slip on such small things. Hold to small details and you will not slip
on big things!
July 25, 1963
Entertain no doubt or fear
or invite in anything imperfect. Stand and hold beyond the point
of letting go or doubting whether the Power can move in and do the
work. Waver not. Hold, and having done all, stand as Light!
The
three higher
breaths are
Mind, Power,
Substance,
and the four
lower breaths
(fire, air, earth and water). Three higher breaths differentiate themselves
according to the need of the conscious mind. If you are in devotion to God,
Power can become praise, etc. Keep your eye on the Absolute God. Lifting at
the time of the necessity, releases the Power, the white Light of the Christ
through you. When you look up, the crown opens, establishes the contact with
your Star, with the Father, and goes through the whole glandular system.
It
takes discipline and energy to
keep from misusing the Power. Do
you use common sense on earth?
No. Use uncommon sense on earth.
You have to pipe energy
to your affairs. Your prayers are your pipeline. Let the Power go here, there.
The mind needs charts and symbols to do its work as a ladder. Faith requires
a picture, a symbol. We are here eating our “won’ts.” Tell
the Father they are wonderful, good, and learn your lesson.
August 4, 1963
The Truth: Real Discipleship
is not that you choose to follow Christ, but that he chooses you.
August 5, 1963
Man must live honorably
with loyalty to Principle, to God and integrity of soul. Your faculties
come with your head, but you must exercise them or they will atrophy.
You cannot reach your goal of knowing God and holding your identity
without a basis of Principle to stand upon.
You
go to a low
heaven when
you do nothing
to anybody,
which is regression.
The intermediate heaven, which was called Purgatory, is now lifted. So where
are you going? To high Heaven. You must renew yourself daily. Inner conflict
is a denial of the Power moving through you.
August 15, 1963
The
Light is moving through our atomic bodies as energy. We will have
no difficulty in leading
the world, if you let your immortality shine through. We are together
because of one Mind, one Power and one Substance — everything
here has come from Heaven. God gave Light as energy. You either believe
in God and science or not, but you must believe this Power that uses
us has come through all schools of mysticism and now moves through
your aura.
“
Ask
anything in
my name believing
that you have
it.” When
you move into
this place
of Light,
you enter
that place
where all
is poise,
unwavering,
no shadow
of turning.
We “need” only
when we do
not enter
the place
of poise.
At
the school
for astronauts,
the motto
is “all for one and one for all.” This
is a law of self-sacrifice. Jesus the Christ trained twelve unsophisticated
men to become the greatest psychiatrists of the world. They have told us that
we must be unwavering, don’t be double-minded, ask anything in the master’s
name, do it in joy and overcome any temptation in joy. Move up to this glory
and let your immortality shine through. The Power descends as etheric currents
and the magnetic currents rise to produce lightning, and it causes an explosion,
taking it up and out. “Ask anything in my name.”
Send
your prayers
high. Send Light
into the main
bodies of governments
and committees.
The thunder
and lightning
crack the spheres
of black force
every
time our prayers release it. The Father sends atomic energy down through rocks
and trees wherever people pray. Lift everything without wasting a moment on
it. The whole world is looking for a few who pray. The need is so great. See
evil only to lift it, but do not dwell on it. Curses are talking about it and
idle curiosity is a curse! Just lift it.
Don’t
involve another in idle words,
for though your karma
may be paid, you will owe their debt, too. Plan ahead for the positive:
Idle plans create
idle words, which create idle curses!
Honor,
Loyalty and Integrity
are the fruits of self-discipline
and self-sacrifice. The Way or the Path of Christ is described in
the Gospel of John. Einstein
said that mass accelerated to the speed of light becomes Light. John said the
Light is the Life of God. Our atomic body is light. It fills us and we use
this mass of Light Energy for healing. We pray, stand and wait until it fills
in as mass in the body. James said we could not waver, for “a double-minded
man is unstable in all his ways.”
Ask
for anything in the name
of the Master until you
have it. Endure temptation
until you have it. The full outline of psychiatry is in the Bible. The time
will come when psychiatrists turn to the Bible to learn how to release the
subconscious mind. The great Teacher came to earth and said “Use my name
and I will stand behind it” when you ask in full faith believing. “Every
good and perfect gift comes from the Father of Lights. Having done all, you
ascend, stand in the place of soul glory and ask from there! Let your immortality
show, for it is all we have!
Say, “Let the Light use me” and
thou shalt be used because
thou art the Light of the
world. How can darkness exist
when Light absorbs and consumes
darkness? The Bible teaches to let go of the impossibles of man and grasp the
possibles of God. When the last impossibles are wiped from your mind, when
you can forget them and doctors and what they say, then you shall walk the
earth immortal.
September 5,
1963
Past
repudiation, resentment, rebellion and self-pity generate blame!
Anything ailing the heart
comes from a glucose imbalance in the lymph system, which is the
body’s cleaner. Its thickness is the basis of disease. Crying
easily means that the lymph system needs to be cleared out. Tear
ducts are some of the most important lymph glands in the body. When
you lack compassion for the world, the lymph glands are clogged.
When you want to cry, say, “Here it is for cleansing, Father.”
Glaucoma
and cataracts show up in
those who don’t
cry. Selfish grief is
almost as bad as no
tears or weeping at
all. The tears ducts
must be porous, for they are barometers of the lymph system. Water
is the principal liquid,
and you need three quarts a day, plus another of other liquids to keep the
lymph system clear.
When
a physical cavity is to be filled
and healing is in process,
which is a change in the metabolism,
the cells themselves fight! The pain
is worse when you begin to rebuild than during the “pull down” itself!
September 15,
1963
Watch
carefully that no belligerency tinges your voice. It is so easy to
have a bit of cheekiness,
yet it ruins everything that we do for months in a day. Apologize
and be sorry and be alert on it when necessary, when you “pull” one.
Do not let it go. Watch your voice when speaking with others, as
you watch your writing. Let there be no trace of thinking of self.
Let there be not a smudge upon it. One word could make a spot. Do
your best. Declare only good.
September 16,
1963
You
may back another into a corner and tell him what’s what when you must, but do not
involve yourself with it; do not take it into yourself! This is one
of the greatest Laws. When another curses, lift instantly and remain
in Light. Keep “it” in Light; declare it good and all
about it. This lifts all the past. Never become involved in it or
take it upon yourself, meaning no self-hurt, self-blame or self-criticism.
Always
lift all curses
and substance
scattered
by the curser
to make it
wholly of
the Light.
If anything
in you blames
or criticizes,
then he will
remember
that blame and the cesspool will reopen. Forgive and stop blaming others! You
are your own delay, a cesspool of self. Self-excuses go hand in hand with blame,
resentment and repudiation. And God still holds us!
It
takes a month of devotion
and prayer to overcome
five minutes of interfering!
Interference with another’s choices evokes waves of resentment from past
ages and displays only your own self-aggrandizement and self-righteousness.
It
is so important for us to
hold and stand, for
so much depends on it! This
is it! Do this completely and receive all the reward the Father has ready to
give you. God’s rewards to us are so much greater than the little gifts
we give Him!
We
are now on the eve of
greatness! Great exaltation
is greater responsibility
not to let go but to increase holding the life lines! It must and can be done
only under the holding of God’s Power! The burden couldn’t be borne
in one’s own soul strength! It is no wonder the Father gives us a rest
period between exaltations. The Power is too great for our physical equipment
to bear and the body must continue functioning to release such Power. Anything
we do in the mundane world is pure gain while this continues.
In
the past, priests and priestesses
were protected in Temples and
never touched by the world’s cross-vibrations. God has given
us the strength to contact Wisdom and Comprehension to fulfill His
needs for exaltation of the whole earth!

of thinking, prejudices of emotions.

To be well mannered is
one of the graces of heavenly places. It is important. Wherever you
step abroad, have good manners so that Light manifests through you.
Love of God, love of the Power, love of life, these things count.
Hold in all ways, and invite them in as guests.
Never again say, “I cannot make it” or anything
like that. Stand upright before the Father who declares wholeness
for you and yours.

When
you become Law, you do not see others’ disabilities. When you
complain that poor ones come to you, you charge a debt to God Himself.
Under the Principle of Doing is
the Law of Equilibrium and Balance,
which becomes the Law of Gravity:
Heat, attraction, cohesion, suction
and repulsion. Lukewarmness
falls under the Law of Repudiation, under which you can achieve nothing. You
cannot live under Repudiation and simultaneously manifest God’s Laws
of Attraction.
Under lack of repentance, you sink low into self-pity and running from your
responsibility for earning your way. Then you no longer live up at the Source,
but down in the mud. You must see each day and situation as perfect.
You cannot have sentimental petting from earth anymore, but a brisk brushing
from the Father who loves you. You must go up and prostrate yourself before
the Altar.
Your loved ones reflect your
every fear. Lift those fears
and they will reflect your faith.
Keep your loved ones on a perfect
cloud of Light. Say, “Let
there be Light. Here I am, Father.”
The wages of sin open the road to the grave of all hope, all beauty, all joy
and all delight is absorbed. You have one task: Look around for any negatives
to be overcome and lifted.

One
who can be conscious of being “out,” finds it difficult
to remain in the body. At some point you loose consciousness of the
outer, although you
do not loose outer consciousness. The trick is to ascend to a high
point of God-consciousness while lifting subsoul lifesparks to be
cleansed.
Ascension, “going out” in
prayer, leaves only enough subsoul
to maintain the physical equipment.
You must hold a high psychological
point to
hold the physical because it is difficult to control the outer vehicle while
you are high. If you take a step beyond that level, you may forget who you
are. It is difficult to maintain contact with conscious mind while retaining
that high level of universal consciousness. It may sound as though all radios
and televisions were blaring at once.

“ Let there be Light” is
a great statement. On the outer, we live by three phases of mind,
on the inner by three phases of Mind.
[One of Edna Miriam’s former students had announced that she was writing
a book on the Master. Much of the material she planned to use had come from
Edna Miriam’s classes.] This was like taking the Queen’s life work
and life’s blood. This opened Universal Mind to Edna Miriam, who came
here to prove that you could live in the world with full responsibility and
still live in Heaven.
The
Trinity
has always
been the
three abstract
Emanations,
which fill
the universe,
flowing. They are the Father of Wisdom, Mother of Love and Son or Logos, which
is Energy. Orthodox churches fail because they have the Father, Son and no
Mother. The Holy Ghost is neuter. The churches are limping.
Logic
is the
Supreme
Trinity
of the
Father-Mother-Son.
Reason
uses the
faculties
of Wisdom, Love and the Holy Ghost. Reason is a use of this Trinity as man.
Logic is absolute, unchangeable and immutable. Reason is the relative application
of the full Trinity.
The
Word
was and
is God.
When
you speak
the Word,
you call
God by
one of
His names.
This
is the
Trinity
of the
three
Emanations.
God is
the Spirit.
Spirit
means undifferentiated, formless. God is also Personality that directs and
controls Spirit through Principle.

Relating information about
a person or a situation is not gossiping or recreating, if it is
without emotional prejudice, intellectual unrighteous judgment, and
truly based in loving compassionate understanding. Then telling about
it does not recreate it, and deep the underlying rejoicing over the
cleansing and return of a lost sheep, scrapes it clean.

How high is high? They
build a platform under your chosen high. You should not invest your
life with your love.
How strong is strong? Excuses are self-credits only. True repentance
comes from the Source. Yours was born of self-pity. No one wants
you groveling. Everyone
wants you up. This has been an initiation in reverse. Arise from the quicksand
of self. Reach out and get rid of all guilt complexes to clean up every anchor
of dry rot you can find so none remains.
Edna Miriam said a teacher who yearns to make students over in her image and
likeness breaks law. She said that today she understood the aches of Jesus
and Moses.

As
we read our Declaration of Love, Substance fills our molds according
to our Imagination,
Thinking and that most important factor of Desire, a heavenly miracle
occurs. Those whose balance of Thinking and Imagination has been
focused on “What will I do if a miracle doesn’t come,” find
a cipher, a nothing. If you stand and ignore what others say in doubt,
you’ll have your “yes,” your miracle.
Ascension is the most important
part of our work. We want a place
to go, not just to hang suspended
in nothingness. Our Declaration
of Love keeps our hand
on God’s railing.

The 1,000-petaled lotus
is our protection from world vibrations, and forms our first cushioning
shock absorber. The Fans of Pharaoh and the white Wings of the Christ
are the protective materials for the oracular golden bowl. The moment
the parathalamus glands open, you become vulnerable. What was like
a whisper in the past becomes a shout when the optic thalamus opens.
This is the advance of the sensitivity as one conquers his or her
own past voice. Outer sounds become louder, which is why being in
noisy crowds or around loud-voiced people is difficult.
The lotus
petals
are the
first
cushioning
and shock
absorbers.
This is
why the
parathalamus
glands
cannot
open until
after
the Fans
of Pharaoh
are spread.
The
1,000-petaled lotus registers the same vibrations as the silver cord, which
holds the records of what we see and hear above. The 1,000-petaled lotus records
it in conscious memory cells.
Every
experience
is recorded
on the
silver
cord,
which
is like
a record
that
we put into a vault until the lotus petals open. Then we grab the records on
the way back and touch the lotus petals as we wind the silver cord into the
medulla oblongata. As we leave the body at night, the silver cord pulls from
the aura what we have done during the day and what we do at night. If we ask,
declare and live for it, the memory is recorded.
The optic thalamus
reaches out
and sees. After
the Fans of
Pharaoh develop,
we awaken the lotus petals to record directly from the silver cord. As we move
the records to the lotus centers, they are transferred to the parathalamus
glands. We may learn to consciously read these records.
When
we turn
Imagination
into Vision,
we open
the optic
thalamus
into seeing
and hearing. You use the parathalamus glands to tune in on a Light wave and
hear the Voice of God, and you cannot see or hear except on a Light wave.
No
wonder it takes
so long for a
student to see
and hear. You must
ascend to close
the physical and mental
sound waves
and to escape
earth’s
gravity. We hear physical sound with physical ears and mental sounds
like telepathy
with a combination of the desire and mental bodies.
When
negative emotions
take over,
we register
them like
earth sounds.
They are more
difficult
to get rid
of when we
allow them
to register
on mental
body
equipment. In pure mental sound, the desire body is not involved. Atoms in
the brain cells register telepathic thought. If the mental equipment is fogged
by personality and emotions, ideas from the mental world are unclear.
When the Father
says, “Thou art My Son or Daughter in whom I am well
pleased,” He means, “I am giving you your 50th chance without involving
anyone.” Your Guards build a new platform under you for balance. It can
become an elevator, if you make the effort. You can never fall into the abyss
unless you tear down this platform. However, unless you have been reaching,
the Father will never say, “I am well pleased.”
November 22,

This
is such an important time and there can be no holding out of petty
personal “self.” We
have to scrape the platter clean now. Otherwise we will not be able
to release the Power now, and then there would be a reaction. If
your vision is foggy and you do not lift the veil you have created
by sinking into self, it could sink into tough selfishness unless
lifted now.
No one may blame another. When the Law is forgotten,
the rungs are ripped out of the ladder and there
is nothing to stand on between you and the bottom.
It is yours to lift, with no blame. The instant there is blame against another,
whatever it is, it is claimed as one’s own! It is so much simpler to
just lift and declare good! For this is the only method to lift you up out
of the Law of Action and Reaction, echo and reecho.
It
is only after
the declaration, “This is good,” and accepting
whatever “it” is — to be lifted — that you can turn
your vision upon an outer problem, which another has brought into the Light
for solving. It is an absolute necessity to make certain that whatever problem
another brings, is accepted, lifted and declared good. Then send the Light
upon the one who brought the problem, and the problem, and the Light clarifies
and puts the words for the solution upon the lips of the Lifter.
The
first
and
only
problem
is to
accept,
to lift,
and
to declare
good.
Only
so can you or anyone stay out of the outer problems of the world. Once you
claim
a problem as personal, one is identified with it, and then is no longer in
the Light waiting for the solution! This is a super polishing to follow the
Light.
November 27,
1963
How
many times we hear “This
is it!” Every “it” has a root, and this declaration
is almost equal to saying “this is good!” For when one
says, “This is it!” — meaning annoyance, frustration
or irritation — one gives “it” a name, claims “it” and
gives “it” a home in passing by, and from there “it” is
lifted. All the “its” are little clouds besmirching,
and so long as they float about, they nibble at the edges of the
mind, even causing sleeplessness in their desire to be lifted into
Light.
If darkness could be personified, it would be as a beggar
begging to be changed into Light. Therefore, when one of
these things hits the present, causing a
lesson to be remembered, this is “it!” — the vagrant, the
thief of peace, the blot on honor is named and lifted and frees one from the
past, cleans up an obstacle that either causes one to stumble or blocks the
doorway to the next step.
Your
decision to “let down” is God’s
cue to let you
sink and so push
open all these doors
to the detrimental
past. Letting down really
goes to the root of all your present lifetime escape processes and attitudes.
This has nothing to do with outright dishonesty, it is but a perfect example
of how taints block the path to freedom ahead unless they are scraped from
the records of life. Back, back, back you must pursue the line in imagination
until every past cloud is lifted.
As each taint from the far past is wiped out, one of the records of the
Book of Life will be rewritten from above as though a human hand had
changed it.
Not by prayer and petition can this be done but by honestly coming up and releasing
Power over the past. This is the way true Law works. God throws out the lines
when you are taking things too lightly and He hopes the bait attracts you up
to what He is now able to do for you.
Under your righteous acceptance
of responsibility and having cleaned
up any idea of blame for past
ignorance or misdirection by others — for until
this is done, God can do no more — your Guards are able to lay Power
upon this book of records behind you and have the pages wiped free of any taint
and rewritten by angelic hands. Your Book of Life shall register perfection
whenever they are reviewed over here.
All
is well!
Go forward
and onward
and upward,
with no
looking
back except
for cleansing and wiping of pages white as snow. Hold thy gains and remember
day and night: No detail is unimportant and each must be kept up to date. There
can be no lagging behind and no escaping.
This
is it, for you
have reached a point
in Ascension that in
order to answer
your prayers for illumination,
for wisdom, for seeing,
for hearing, all the
little “its” must be drawn in. So I would suggest that on this
one thing you make a great adventurous mission into your youth, and for every
time you misled someone for any reason whatsoever, put it on a cloud in all
its ramifications — meaning everyone connected with it, cleansing them
and wiping it out from the pages of the Book of Life. Lift those who misled
you and they shall be cured of their sport. All shall work together for good.
This
is not only “it” — this
is good, for when
you are pulled
back by 1,000 tiny
clutching vines,
it can be a heavy
weight and cause
untold delay. As you release one of these tiny clutching tendrils
from the past, it
shall clean the present from any limitations and remove all obstacles until
doors will open on the slightest knock. Doors that have been fast shut to the
rest of the world shall be open to you.
November 28,
1963
The
way lies clear before you if you will do one thing at a time, living
one day at a time.
Move into today’s needs and necessities and joys, and stop
living for a year ahead. Then your strength will be equal to each
task, your joy in little things will increase and you shall find
satisfaction in giving, for you will have all of this self-misused
energy to put into seeing the needs and compassionate and loving
handling of those in the outer world.
December 1, 1963
Scrape
the platter clean now. Lift the veil, with no more sinking into the
depths of self.
Never blame another! If you knock the rungs out of your ladder, you
cannot climb it! Lift. Call everything good. After you declare it
good, then you may look at it. Make a just appraisal and go to the
Father. Put it in the Light, then, if necessary, you may pin it up
and look at it — without taking it on! “You are good.
You are perfect.” Inner conflict results unless we declare “It
is good. It is Yours, Father.” Lift and declare it good! Do
not claim any outer problem as your own! “This is good! Let
Light possess it.”
“
One
for all
and all
for one.” Make
no negative
statements.
Lift all.
Even one
ugly statement
cuts off
the Power.
We are
all responsible
for our
own debts.
We can’t
let go.
We must
pay our
debts,
and we
can’t
drop any!
For using
force,
we pay
the whole
debt for
family,
friends,
etc. God
sees all
you do,
and don’t
do. Move
up and
a stay
in the
Light.
Praise
that
all obstacles
are removed.
Endure
in Joy,
without
self-pity.
December 2, 1963
In
healing, all we do is prime the pump and say, “Let the Light go forth.” The
White Light of the Christ is enfolded in the etheric currents, it
moves through our hands to the solar plexus and draws in the magnetic
currents. They well up like an aurora borealis to open as many lotus
petals as possible. The lotus petals close when you descend in consciousness;
they are completely closed and frozen in an atheist. When we speak
the word, “Let there be Light,” the Father does the rest.
Never invest your life and soul substance where another will spit
upon it.
Edna Miriam has lost people on this point: Principle is immutable. Name indicates
a phase of responsibility for creation.
Trace
each idle word to its
original source, a
block to be lifted.
You can do this only
for yourself. Your Begotten
Father releases strength
backed by wisdom and holds the Gates open for you. He will save you
from a permanent
block, but the negative is all yours to lift. Hunger and thirst after beauty
and all good things. You can use today’s answers only today and tomorrow’s
answers only tomorrow.
December 5, 1963
God has brought you this
far and shall bring you the rest of the way on earth, as greatly
as you can lend yourself to being brought. You shall lift the burden
of past stupidities as you move out with arms of Light, lifting the
misdemeanors and laziness to be scraped clean.
Be
a torch
bearer
on earth
with no
words to
boast.
Let others
do the
finding
out themselves. Cease rushing in with a loud voice and speaking Law where fools
may tread. Every self-exaltation digs a hole to fall into and dirt falls in
and anchors you. Your voice, heavy with self, does the work when your Father
should be working hitherto in silence.
December 9, 1963
The love of God is brisk
and strong. It does not cry or whine, but is something you can stand
on and hold to.
Sometimes
when we reach for Light and
we do, it does not seem adequate
but it loosens every little
bit of karma out there,
25,000 years of it. You
have to reach out your arms and gather all this loosened karma and
lift it up to
the Light. You must take back everything that has been yours since you came,
and “it” wants to come back harder than you want it to. The minute
it gets loose, gather it up and lift it. Put every idle word and misdemeanor
in the sack. When you stop and think about the idle words of this one lifetime,
you will know the vast task it is.
December 16,
1963
Presumption
is a sin, which includes presuming to make our God in our image and
likeness. The
Bible says “lift up your hands to pray” in 200 places.
Watch your words, for they shall determine your creations.
Remember the fairy tales about wrong wishes. Hold fast and
stand before you speak. At your next
breath, the Power will come through, and you will see miracles before your
eyes.
Grace is a state of Love, Comprehension and Compassion. Chase evil with Love.
Call it love and good.
If you forgive grudgingly, you still blame. Call it good. “Let there
be Light.” This is giving love when you cover others’ transgressions,
accept blame, with love.

(My purse was stolen because
I sat in on the floor under my chair at the restaurant.) Make a rigid
law never to put down your purse once. The subconscious loves to
break a pattern. If you put it down once you can do it again. If
you do not want to slip, do not do it once. Make it an unbreakable
rule. Each detail is important to train brain cells.
For
God’s sake, keep
your comparative contrast in mind, not once a year, but as a daily
affair. Contrast your low point with your high point and get back
on the pole. This is the positive you are to do daily. Take time
to be whole. |
