Greetings and blessings to you. We have been with you through the day, and as the consciousness is high in each of you we are in attunement and many times bring thoughts and ideas through to you telepathically. Woe practice communing with you when you remain in higher consciousness so much of the time in an atmosphere that is conducive to this. There have been those who attended the early sessions of the retreat who have left here with rich blessings within. There has been much begun here that will show return, for the higher energies have entered into them. Some of the weight has been lifted from their hearts, and joy has increased within them, Now they have returned to their homes with preparation begun toward the conditioning that will see them through the end of these times.

Others are coming tomorrow, and throughout these three weeks there shall be a lifting, an acceleration of power and energies, and we shall lead your souls up the steps each day, It is as though you would climb to the mountain tops, and that which is being raised up in you, the Christ consciousness, is as the capstone to the great pyramid. All these developments of the temple of you are leading to things of which you are not yet aware, but will move you into in greater realization.

It is difficult to explain to those of Earth why we are assisting them in the increase of light and energy, and lifting their consciousness into higher realms. Through this, as children you grow, day by day, but the process is being speeded up because the time is so short, Many are being prepared, for the “call" could come any time, and yet it may also be several years. It is not for us to know when, but in obedience we prepare you and see that you are ready. We obey our Lord's commands; we know the time is imminent, so preparedness moves ahead, for when mighty things strike upon the earth they shall happen rapidly, whether it be war or cataclysms.

Thus we alert you, not for fear but for preparation, and we have asked that each life become simplified. Come out from the involvements of the world that might delay you at the moment that you must be ready, so that you be free souls as much as possible. There will not be time for explanations or excuses, for justifications of the souls who do not want to leave unfinished business. There will not be time for us to repeat, to give you lengthy talks, in order to lead your souls into light frequencies gradually. So now is the time to complete whatever can be completed, make choices that would simplify your affairs and your life, and let your hearts open for the love of God that shall lift you into greater heights.

Let all this sink into your realization now while you have the opportunity. The Father's business moves on into new stages and He brings about the evolving of Creation--the unfoldment of many cycles, many eons that seem to take great lengths of time. And yet when these come to a close everything moves to the cusp of this event. Then quickly as lightning the changes come. You have been seeing more indications of this in your world, but you are beginning to take them for granted. It is true that there will be more, but be alert so that you be not sleeping disciples when the call comes.

Awakened souls shall become increasingly aware as these changes come when the Earth moves into higher frequencies and there are disasters and crumb~ lings all about. But be not depressed; bo alert and take them as signs, Lift up your heads end be ready to maroh forward, for tho climax is drawing closer and closer. If we do nothing more than keep you alert, this will be a help, but we are preparing you so that your souls will be able to correspond with the energies into which you will move.

Your attitudes must be watched so that you desire to serve in the best way you know how. You may grow impatient when you do not know what to do in the waiting times between, when it seems you are waiting for nothing, but this is not so. You are gathering energies into your soul so that it be fortified, be strong when the enemy appears, and we are helping you to form the habit of calling upon your Lord and His ministering angels and to know of the Presence within you. We wish it to be so familiar to you that you never think, for one moment, that you are alone. These things are necessary before the crucial times, for all is building up to a climax.

You are growing stronger in each fibre of your being ard when the need comes, remember that you will have thousands at your side--the invisible host of the Lord. As the remnant is being gathered together there shall be cosmic ones working with each and every group and individual that is striving to serve in the Lord's work of establishing the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. Learn to listen more within, for this shall bring forth more intuition. As you cultivate this, when you have emergency calls come through when you are still, you will learn to recognize, take head and obey. For it is the divine system within you that shall keep you on the track of what you are to do and when. It will not be for others to tell you.

We are leading you into the realization of your own communication system. The divine nature, which is the real you, has this ability. This indwelling spirit will prompt you, guide you. Then if it still seems weak and small, be still again. Cultivate this until you are so accustomed to living with it in your inner life that you know when the signals are coming forth. The time for practice is when it is quiet. In noise and tumult it will be difficult to cultivate this. So daily, practice listening for the Lord in the stillness. He will send promptings to you, intuitive feelings. Pray for discernment so that you recognize them as apart from your own ideas which come in a different way. Many of the things that you thought to be your own have been some of these quiet promptings becoming stronger and yet a little stronger until you follow through. Consciously remember that you are a disciple of the Lord in this day. Ask that you be guided by that spirit within you which is the God-given spirit, that aspect of God sent forth in power.

Sit in the stillness each morning and evening and as much as you can through the day, even if only for a few minutes. After having offered yourself, emptied of self, then be still and listen to that which comes to the surface of the waters of consciousness. Then weigh it carefully so as to know whether the Lord is bringing things from your subconscious which might be needed for your rememberance, or whether there is a prompting of something to be done.

If it does not come, at least you have offered, you have provided the opportunity. Know then that it is in the making. If it does not come at that time, know that along the way you will suddenly receive a thought, a message, an indication or a prompting, and be ready to receive it. Then give thanks and use

Upon going to sleep at night, offer yourself, and release into the Light a need you may have or a problem to be solved; expectantly release it and

Page 72

go to sleep, watching for the answer when you awaken, Illany times in the morning the problem is solved or the method is brought forth that is needed, or even at the time that you move toward that particular thing, Bo expectant; the Spirit brings forth for those who have faith and expectancy,

There are many things that you may practice in your inner life, but you must be quiet more often in order to live in that inner life, Become accustomed to it that you may bring it into the outer. As you do this you will begin to find ways and means to simplify your life, to get rid of the clutter in your home, to cut down on the business affairs. All these will come about as you realize the importance of the heavenly state over that of materiality. It is a changing of the perspective, a reorienting, and many things shall fall behind you. Things of old shall pass away--much which was of interest to you shall no longer be of interest, for you are on your way out of an old world. You are on your way into a new kingdom of glories beyond that which you could possibly dream. Faith is the bridge between the two, but you have not yet fully comprehended this, and you hesitate to turn loose of the old before knowing that you have hold of the new. But if you keep your eyes and your focus on your Lord, you shall walk across and you shall not sink,

These are the days of spirit--spirituality rather than materiality. You heve seen what has happened in the past; it has not brought you security or happiness--only pain, distress and disillusionment. Souls that are bound together through communion shall move together--the spiritual family of the souls moving forward. They will begin to know the hearts of one another without the ordinary means of communication, for there will be no time nor distance. This is the time to feel and experience the mellowness of souls that are blending and being prepared to go into the Kingdom of Heaven.

It is a holy time, a sacred time. The Father is extending love and mercy unto His own, tenderly caring for them in the days of distress, sending out angels to minister unto them, joyously waiting their return. The preparations have begun, just as in the parable of the prodigal son. The “fatted calf" is being prepared, there is expectancy in the heavens, for the children of God are returning unto their Father's business, they are coming into union with the indwelling spirit. They are coming in as co-rulers of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth--closer to the realization of “God with them"--the Father doing the works through the sons, a time of rejoicing in the heavens.

There cannot be sadness for crumbling systems of a false world. Compassion for the souls that have not yet made their choice to go into the heavenly estate, yes, but in the wisdom and mercy of God, they too will be carefully cared for in suspension until they can come forth into this newly established world--given another opportunity. They will be the ones that you will care for when they reincarnate, and once again they will have the opportunity to live 1,000 years just as they did long, long ago, but choice, distractions, bring their results. Some will make good use of opportunities given, some will not. Until that time, they shall be suspended while the children of God are re-establishing order upon the earth, making preparations for them to enter.

Develop patience. We say be patient, wait, and yet we say it is urgent, the time is short. We know that this sounds like a paradox, and we realize you have difficulty in comprehending this, and that you would like to know more in detail just what to do, but this would be breaking the great law, even if we could tell you, for you are put to the test to turn within and begin to know from the Source. Repair the communication system within you, cultivate it, listen and be aware. For forty days and nights the disciples waited at Pentecost and began to think that nothing would happen. But they obeyed, am the spirit of

God descended upon them. You have less than forty years, much less, before the new century is well on its vay. we

During the lifetime, the thirty-three years of Jesus, much was developing, but he had three years of great ministry. You may only have three years of action, but development is taking place, plans are being made in Heaven. You are being called to stand to attention, for preparedness goes before the call and before the action.

The greater portion of the "day of wrath" will be toward the end of this century. When you know that it is only a part of this that you will have to endure, then the time is indeed short for those who are called up to meet their Lord. Your familiarity with the Knowledge of the ships will prevent fear at that time. It does not matter whether you see them in the skies now or not, but you are desiring them. Do you know what this means? You will desire yourself to be drawn right up into them at the time the Lord speaks. This is as it should be. This is your soul choice and desire already looking up, part of the mercy of God.

Those that draw back and want no part of them will not be called. Your soul is already indicating the direction in which it shall go. Lift up your heads, not only symbolically but literally, and know that your Redeemer draweth nigh in the skies to which you look. Those who have tried to be so literal with the Holy Writings through the years did not know how literal it was possible to be, for the very things that shall take place are more literal than that which they could see. They would argue over doctrines and creeds and dispute over translations while those who would serve their Lord are looking up.to follow. It is the prompting of the in-dwelling spirit that is causing souls to choose--to look up i and to desire. Desire opens the door to freedom.

The "spiritual import of the space ships coming"--that is what we gave four years ago. It is the key to the thousands of ships surrounding your planet. Of course they come in love. Had they been coming in any other way they would have destroyed you long ago. They are gathering near and letting it dawn upon your consciousness gradually so that you not be afraid, that you have time to learn the reasons ard the purpose, that you confirm it in your Holy Writings. They come to lovingly assist you, and to await the final word of the Lord of Earth to move in at the moment that the host of darkness would come against the children of Light. Then God moves quickly, then legions shall fall at thy side and yet not come nigh thee.

The children who have offered to serve God will be preserved unto His purposes. They are in many, many small areas, being gathered together until they will either be brought into larger circles, or will be guided or drawn up into safe keeping until further instructions. They will be taken to out-of-theway places, away from the noise of the world into quiet places to commune with the Father, again walking and talking with Him as the communication system is restored within the divine being. Have faith that with all this that is taking place you shall be guided, you shall be protected, you shall be instructed according to His will. The greatest instruction takes place within you and you are practicing that every time you come together in prayer or you each sit quietly alone.

The power of the Spirit is great, and you shall teleport in this power when the weights of the mind and the consciousness and the weights upon the

. shoulders are removed by your releasing them, simplifying and bringing into order “all that you can. Let the beliefs in your minds begin to enter into your souls as realizations so that it be complete, so that you be wholly integrated in His purposes. Learn to break the tensions of the body, to relax more physically, release all that holds, such as emotional conflicts. Be detached from that which would hinder and become souls free to move as the Father bids. You oan reorder a great deal in your home and business affairs. Much that you have thought neces< sary is not necessary at all. a

Page 74

You are souls found worthy to be preserved unto God's new estate, and that you be taught in due course to move in line with that new kingdom on Earth. So be patient during the tarrying time, for once that is over things shall move swiftly. Trust in your Lord. We shall be with you more. We shall work with the Soul bodies this evening. Be aware of our presence with you. We minister unto the soul bodies lovingly and gently. Do not be afraid, your Lord so ordained this. Relax as much as you can as you retire. Let the soul move with us and it shall be in safe keeping, As you learn to put aside your emotions you will have more memories of what is taking place.

All is well. You are making progress in all that you are striving for. Your sincerity has brought you to a new plateau, a training period of increased intensity. Do not be alarmed at any different feelings, sensations or Changes in the glands of the body. We are carefully preparing you. You are blessed and the spirit within is quickening the soul, preparing for that union of soul and Spirit--Father and son united. Do not question the timing; God moves in mysterious ways His wonders to perform. His love surrowmds you, the Christ light surrounds yous you are being raised up in His name. Bless you. Selah.

So be it! Many are with you. Never fear, but follow daily in thanksgiving. Selah.
