Our blessings are with you, beloveds. We keep in close attunement, and as we have been working, ministering unto you we find great changes in you. There is the greater stillness that you have come into. This will bring much growth. Understanding and love shall flow through you in greater measure, for it is the busy world that keeps Heaven out. ‘The more opportunity that you have to be still, to be quiet for hours at a time, the more shall you know God. This place of refreshment, of spirit renewal, is conducive to meeting the conditions that open for this. That is why there was the great need to draw apart from worldly affairs, from the noise, the commotion, the talk, the thoughts, the vibration of the world. So as you come to this lake among the trees it is as though you entered the garden of paradise, for you purposely are leaving behind you the cares of the lower kingdom, and you are reaching unto the Christ consciousness that may be sustained for longer and longer periods of time, enabling you to know it for what it is, to move into it until finally you are dwelling constantly in that nature.

Your divine nature is your destiny. It is only when you turn away to manifest in the human nature that you deviate from your purpose and commission of the Almighty, and yet this has its place as God knew that much of this would happen and allowed for the expansion, or room for trial and error in the schoolroom of Earth. It became a schoolroom after it became your playgrounde So God in His mercy lifts you back to remembrance, that you continue your journey and grow into the fulness of the begotten Christ nature.

For so long you thought of the Christ as only "Jesus" because He was the older brother who went before, to sacrifice and to open the door for you so that you could understand, at least in part, the principle of the great law that He demonstrated. Then he left it with you for your attainment. By going unto the Father in completeness he had greater power than ever to pour over the Earth, and to assist you as you entered into his consciousness through the great love he had for you. This opened wide the door. In thanksgiving you enter and join him in this realization.

The words confuse many minds, but the understanding heart that knows the love of God is grateful for His plan of sending forth His begotten sons so that this fulfilment could take place and all return unto the Father, according to His plane So you are back on your highway of purposes Your souls have definitely made choice to leave behind the false kingdom and to return unto the Father. This should bring joy end rejoicing to your hearts as you consciously realize that the soul is moving forward toward its goal. You aro able to be used of the Father in so many ways. When you come to this retreat you come in lifted consciousness, knowing consciously that you are of a higher nature, and you are immediately humbled.

As you love one another and come together in beautiful harmony, you blend as one in true purpose. Love does not stand apart in prides love fuses with love. Where God is, there is love. Youvhelp one another as you exchange thoughts and inspirations in an open focus. This is an open window in each of the souls which allows the exchange of love and understanding, in fellowship and the desire to grow in spirit. Many times a few words from one gives another a lift and helps

them tremendously, because the Spirit of God is moving jn each one of youek As you gather together in a small flock, your Shepherd is with you, God's love and power are with you. You are breathing His Spirit in and out; it is flowing through you in a never-ending stream.

When you keep the consciousness lifted into this higher nature you are fed, sustained, and the Spirit moves through you. It is only when you drop into the lower dimension that the body, the thoughts, slip and feel out of synchronization because the third dimension, the world, is not in harmony with God. But you have the ability to transcend this, and it is more 4 matter of reminding you to keep your altitude, for habits of thousands of years standing cause you to forget that you are the higher natures You have been accustomed to using the lower nature, so you vascilate back and forth until finally you are 5° filled with the awareness of God's presence that you enter in and go out no mores Through reminders we are helping you to consciously keep that focus, to keep your eyes on the goal of wearing well the mantle of Christ, until you are so accustomed to it that you feel at home in the higher nature. Then you will have no need to run back and pick up the other.

World habits have delayed yous; even when you had what you desired, your habits have caused you to slide back as though upon an icy hille Thus you must have promptings, reminders--that which you read, that which you think, or tell yourself. The habit of reading your Holy Bible keeps you in that consciousness. Prayer partners who have agreed to climb the ladder together may help remind each other, but this must be done delicately so as not to trespass upon one another. Angels descend and ascend through the ledder of vibrations, of frequencies of light to draw closer unto you until you can draw closer unto them and keep your altitude.

We repeat this reminder for it is such en appropriate one. Your airplanes must maintain their altitudes They are well-built and strong and ground crews fill them with fuel, repair and examino them. The pilots are trained in all phases of flying--knowledge of the instruments, care of the plane; then a good take-off end what to do in the air, finally being able to land without crashing. As a plane goes down the runway it gathers momentum and finally reaches a point where it has lifting power and can take off into the sky. Most people who are still afraid of flying do not become alarmed until they are up high and then they feel so high that they wonder if it is safe. But the most critical point of all is moments after the takeoff. That is the crucial moment when the plane must gain lifting power and maintain it. Once it is flying high, everything is in order, but the crucial moment is at takeoff, just after leaving the ground. Each phase is vital, So it is with your soul and with your consciousness.

Learn to be aware, to remind yourselves to keep your altitude past that crucial point and thon to sustain it, but do not slide back after you first take off, as your consciousness lifts. (This would also be true of soul flight.) We are trying to remind you now to consciously cooperate and allow yourselves to >be inspired and lifted; then your consciousness will come up out of difficulties. If you have the faith and strength to meet this and to hold it past the crucial time and keep it in the higher altitude, as it were, then increasingly you shall learn to practice living in the higher nature, in the Christ nature of you.

When your souls take dominion you will feel as a pilot does when he leaves the ground, when he is in the air flying beautifully and feeling a sense of freedom from the ground. Your souls shall feel this freedom when detached from the human nature--above ground level, so to speak, and you have greator vision, can see the broad vistas, the greater part of the plan, and can move with it, transcending, rising above many potty things of the ground level.

When one awakens in the morning it is possible that he is returning from serving on the other side, or being taught self-discipline. There are soul flights for various purposes, At times there is a let-down when the soul returns; the soul regrets having to come back at that times Sometimes one awakens with a sense of depression or discouragement. When this happens do not let it a continue. You have control. Speak to yourself immediately, "This will never do-« Get in your elevator or get in your airplane and go up--whatever is easiest for you to visualize, and all at once you can either laugh at your problems or see the Solutions and transcend your difficulties. You are lifted and are given the wisdom to face them with strength and fortitude,

It is as though you would go into a department store and press & button for the elevator, step into it consciously, and know that it will take you to the floor that you choose, the department that you choose. So in any state of depression or despair or discouragement--ill health, confusion, bewilderment, grief--any of these things, let the soul come forth and take dominion. Push the buttons; the elevator within you arrives and you step inside and choose the frequency of light to which you will be lifted. In God's power--in the spirit--you have the lifting. You make the choice when you speak that word, “I want no part of this; I must rise above it." Then be lifted high enough so that you can look down over the situation without emotion, either dismissing it or resolving it, gaining God's strength to go back and meet it anew. This will take care of all things that come to your life, for in the spirit you are lifted up.

It is not honoring God to allow yourselves to be dragged down into depression. All of you experience it at times, but you can avoid remaining in it. Say, each morning upon awakening and each night as you trust Him with your soul, "Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and help me rise up to meet Him." And each day consciously trust Him and know that there is nothing that He cannot lift you over or help you to meet.

Learn to apply these concepts and teachings more and more. We have given you so many simple examples--parallels, levers to hold to--just as you would give a small child very simple directions. te know that you have great intelligence, for God's intelligence is in yous; we know that you -have awareness, but we give you concepts that you have the capacity to receive. For in your stumblings and gropings, learning to apply these in your daily lives, you are, many times, like children, so we try to give you simple ways. Your intellect might object to this but your soul will welcome it, for we are not giving you intellectual lectures. We are speaking very simply and directly to the soul, helping you to apply the truths so that you will come into the synchronization that shall give you clearly the full picture, and then you shall no longer be blind to that of the Spirit.

Your spiritual eye is opening more and more, the spiritual centers within you are changing, but at times you do not recognize nor understand some of the changes in the physical body or the sensations accompanying this, that you might experience, but know that all things are working together for good. When God ordained that ministering angels walk beside and minister unto those that in free will gave consent, chose to come into line with His will, then it became definite that you would be worked with, would be assisted. Thus many things are worked on in the soul, or in the link between--the endocrine glands--so that tho chemistry of the body be changed. But there is much you have to do yourself. You must take the action in meeting something that brings you growth. But we tell you how to find strength, find renewal.

Take more time to come apart from worldly matters as often as you can, to be still within, to draw upon the reserve within you that is for the purposes of Spirit. Do not dissipate your energies carelessly in all kinds of

world affairs or world conversations but let all things point toward the life of Spirit, joyously expecting your Lord to return and govern the Kingdom. Know that this is reality. For so long you have been accustomed to the dream state in which ¢ you have been moving that the things of Spirit seemed less real to you, more like an intangible dream. They are tangible to the soul. They are reality. Spirit is reality. There could be no atoms of energy anywhere, even in tho material world, except for Spirit.

The confusion in your minds has come through many of the deceptions from the lower astral end the psychic realms in which so many think of Spirit as ghostly fog. That is only ectoplasm, used for temporary purposes of evidences The real proof is in the spirit of eternal life, That does not drift away. A thought form from the other side can come in and express as a figure of someone who lived on earth through the use of ectoplasm, temporarily raising it up, giving it the strength to hold for a time, but only a short time. This has its place; it brings comfort to some who have not had the true belief, but those who are mature in the soul have knowledge, and they know that life is after death. They need no proof. The proof is the knowing of the God--self within.

They also know that the Eternal, the true Spirit is reality and that they are of that Spirit by very natures Just as surely as fish are made for water, you are made for spirit, in spirit--composed of spirit--life in the ocean of spirit which is the real energy, the divine energy from which all are created. This is no part of a mental dream. Through the mental came deception, the shifting of the desires of the heart from the God-center to a self-center. Know the reality of atoms of energy--billions and billions--oceans of energy brought into form by God's direction through His plan. Those of His nature were sent forth in this, begotten of Him to be raised up to Christhood, to govern worlds according to the Father's will and plan.

Certainly, you think of yourselves as being too inadequate to ever govern worlds and solar systems, and in your third dimensional state this is so true. But God knew what He was doing. He brought forth sons of His own nature, with His potential power to bring it about. He waited patiently for these souls to choose which nature they preferred to move in. Your Christ self has far greater power and abilities than the little self in the third dimension, the ego which mankind has liked to inflate. He has been so proud of himself! But you, as sincere Christians going forward in the path of the disciples, have no such feelings, but you do mow your shortcomings and are striving toward the goal. The spirit in you shall raise that soul into its Christhood.

Now you are consciously given the opportunity to take dominion in the higher self. God gave you authority to do this when you entered into Paradise to take dominion of the world and all upon it, in the true spirit, in love and wisdom. But you became covered with layers and layers of materiality. Now you are gradually shedding those layers; you have given consent and you truly want to shed the layerse One day you will be stripped of them all and stand shining as a soul of pure light, God's image manifesting.

Look toward this, and in this conscious realization you can begin to take control. You have, to a great extent, been recognizing the difference. You know, to some degree, when it is the human ego rising up and demanding, or when it is the soul standing up in quietness, but in great divine confidence, Speaking with authority. You recognize it in another and you recognize it in yourselves when it happens. It does not happen often enough, but it will more and more, and as your soul takes dominion through the very body you have offered, and tho Christ in you shall be at the controls, shall guide you forth in true direction and power. You can do this any hour, any moment by saying, "I will because Goa willed." Take control of yourself. If you cannot control yourself in your

immediate environment you are not yet ready to control God's solar systems and galaxies. Who else would He send forth to control His worlds, to rule them in love and justice and wisdom according to His plan (because they are one in His plan), who else but His begotten sons? He has brought much through life. Hig life is in all but all are not begotten sons and this is a realization which, as it dawns upon you, brings great humility.

He had many flocks to tend, as you were told. You are being raised up for God's purposes, not to dominate on Earth as you have seen false ones do, becoming dictators through desire. By their fruits ye shall Imow them, Where was love, compassion, mercy, justice and wisdom? You know the results, The fruits proved the false ones not of Gods The Lord of Earth shall rule, peace shall reign because love and harmony and wisdom shall prevail over the Earth during the age of Light. You are being trained and disciplined to come up into full stature so that you first come into the Kingdom and, as your Holy Writings have given, be co-rulers with him whom you trust and follow.

He shall be teaching you, and training you to govern all forms of life on planets, to raise up and love the consciousness in the vegetable kingdom, the animal kingdom, and the many earth racese Through evolution world races, on all plenets,are raised up and spiritualized. Many are the angels--many are the cherubims, seraphims. God did not make all His creations alike. The sons that He sent forth in His name, in His image, are to communicate with Him on His plan throughout the universe. They have a special assignment. He raised them up to be fit for this.

The main purpose at hand is for you to learn to control yourself in His namo and in His nature. You choose to rise up and use that nature, not fold it away as a wedding garment you would never use again. Put on the robes of Christhood. He shall lift you up into its perfection, When you agree to move with His plan you are not being presumptuous; you are presuming when you stay outside His plan and keep yourself in the human. You oan trust the divine nature; you cannot trust your human nature. Your emotions, the thoughts of the mortal mind trip you up, and this is what Lucifer is counting on, his greatest weapon of all. These are the tools of the anti-christ.

E You can delay for many seasons and eons through your own choice, but now you have chosen to move forward, have even had the reassurance and the promise that God is preparing you for this Kingdom at hand in the millenial age approachings You are already about your Father's business, though in a limited way yet. The greatest step is to remind yourselves at every turn until it becomes automatic, instinctive for the divine nature to take over by your consent. It is not so much that you must learn a great deal, but that you must stop the interfering, stop struggling and be still.

You have to unlearn many things, for man's teachings fall short of God's teachingse Occasionally a true prophet appears or one through whom God really speaks, but too many of man's opinions and conclusions have been given after debate and intellectual arguments. Think of the many organizations which have been set up and called “church"--man drawing in the thousands of people, tho millions of dollars, building in spirals, higher and higher until finally ho would once again have the tower of babel, In.a sense you already have this. That is why there are all the divisions, the breaking down of systems, because if man hed full power in the anti-christ he would not come back to the point of obeying. So just as God allowed the division then and sent the people off speaking in different tongues so that they not build up more power and boasting of self, so is it true in this day. Union can only take place when all want to unite in the same purpose--in God's purposes

While He will be flexible and allow you to come and go, He will not allow that power to build up again; only the true power of His wisdom, His creation. Thus those who have chosen to give ‘up self and enter into the Christ nature would be those He would have unite, come together loving one another, helping one another toward that goal. That is why there is effectiveness in prayer groups of one accord who can rise above their human natures, at least for that time. Too many groups have broken up through personality clashes, and yet if they remain at that level they must be broken up. Only that of God must survives Even though many sincere souls come together in spiritual groups for prayer and meditation, if they are not careful their weaknesses defeat the purpose for which they gathered, for they have not learned to transcend their differences.

Everyone of you is different; you have different backgrounds, different customs and would probably not be too happy living together permanently in close quarters. But this is not necessary. You have different ways of running your households, which is your prerogative, but when you come together here you transcend any difference because you are here to rise up in Christ consciousness, one with the Father; this is your only desire. You have left all else behind you to experience this in its reality.‘ Know that your prayers go forth with greater power, and know that as you come together you are not one vessel opening to God but many at once, with the same purpose. This is an expansion of consciousness,

a greater vessel offered to Him, the Holy Grail that He shall fill and from which you shall drink.

Your souls are blessed as you depart from worldly thoughts and things long enough to come unto the Lord to the degree that you are able, putting self behind you. You are already souls of great development but you have great difficulty meeting everything in the world as you walk simultaneously in the third and fourth dimensions. For a long time you have been in the third dimension, affected by it yet striving for the fourth. That is why only by Heaven coming to Earth can your growth be completed.

; Lucifer shall be bound during the thousand years so that there be no disruption, no attempt to raise up power not of the Christ. At first the antichrist shall be very much more evident. He shall be trapped when he comes in as a person, believing this to be a trick by which he can enter. He shall come in human form just as Jesus did, long ago, for his purposes. He shall gather all the powers that he can and come forth posing as a man of God. In that human form he will not be able to come out of the grave and he shall be trapped, suspended for the thousand years until he is released and given another opportunity to finally come into God's will, God's plan and purpose. Through the very trick he uses he shall be caught. His suspension will be necessary in order for Heaven to come to an Earth which has nothing less than the Father's will in its midst. Give thanks unto your God that you have had revelation throughout these ages so that you know your Lord and Master.

He came as the infant Jesus, angels attending and rejoicing as a celestial ship which appeared as a bright, bright light in the sky led the shepherds. They mistook this for a star. Lucifer has created the deception that the Christ will again enter as a babe. He himself shall come posing as that, and those who are blind to the deception shall believe. But you were told long ago, in exact words, what to expect when that happens. The disciples who stood upon the mount with Jesus saw him ascend, again accompanied by angels rejoicing, He ascended, was drawn up into the cloud. Behind it was the force-field of energy surrounding the great celestial ship coming forth to receive him as it brought him before as an infant. He entered into that prepared for him in Mary's body and ho came forth at that time through the solar plexus--tho spiritual door opening to the greatest light of all. Thirty-three years later that celestial ship from high,

high heavens came to receive him as" ho ascended ho He went through his mission, died, was resurrected; left instructions for disciples and then ascénded. “the angels attending said, "Remember; even as yo see him go, in this same manner he shall appear, shall come unto you again. His Spirit was with you; he has never left you in Spirit. He went away promising to return. And how did he himself say it? He said he would como in the clouds with his host following, that you would be dravm up to meet him in the same manner while justice is boing done on Earth. So how oan any disciple be deceived in the coming days when he hears, "Lo, here is Christ; lo, there ‘is Christ," or he hears that the Holy One shall come again as an infant and be raised up to be the Christ who will rule? t

You were given the wisdom to know the difference, long, long 2g03 it was preserved for this day. Thus you know these mysteries jn your hearts. You

will not be fooled by someone who appears as an infant, who grows up and claims,

I am the Christ who will rule your Earth." This time he will not come in that manner. It was given long ago through Isaiah as to how he would come the first time. Always, the Spirit of the Lord goes before and alerts and reveals the truth unto his disciples who love him. Those that love and believe God are given assurance in ways and signs. Jesus, at every opportunity, gave instructions to his disciples on the manner of his second coming. He came back to them after he was resurrected, that they could see the demonstration all the way, even see his ascension. They received the exact words of promise of the way that he would i reappeare

Be not deceived; believe not the false prophet. You are the watchmen; be alert. For you he will not come as a "thief in the night", for you are expecting him. To those who have not desired to be in oneness with their Lord, it certainly will be as a "thief in the night"--unexpected, You who have be-

(¢ lieved it, go in great expectation, hope and joy because his Kingdom is near. He will use the ways and means; you obey that which you see to do and be prepared to go instantly in answer to his call, without excuses or delays--procrastinationse

Willingly and joyfully, go! You do not have to worry about your lifting power, for the moment you give your consent you will be raised up; that great beam of light shall draw you into the same ship which you have been visiting in soul flights at night. Your souls are becoming familiarized with this, but part of you is still living in the third dimension. Do not let the curiosity of the mind or doubts interfere. Your Lord is the Way. Trust and love and believe in hin, and you shall be led into your next assignment in the Heavenly Father's work of the Kingdom.

Your souls are responding; you are responding consciously. You are subduing human traits and developing patience. It is not that anyone would measure you, but do not let the deceit of your mortal minds set you back by convincing you that you have not made progress. Certainly you do not boast; your consent and the growth ond understanding of your soul in its true nature are for the glorification of God. But we do encourage you, reassure you that progress is being made very rapidly, It is innate in the being, the Christ nature of you. The indwelling spirit within you is leading you into full manifestation. Look to the Christhood of Jesus in thanksgiving, expecting his promises to be fulfilled in you by your attainment of Christhood. Bow before your Maker; you are His own and he shall raise you up.

The heavens rejoice! Ethereal worlds rejoice that the planet Barth is soon to go through the changeovor that shall bring it into spiritualization, We have compassion for you as you meet tribulation. As you do, keep your eyes on the goal and there shall still be joy in your hearts, just as it was with the

Bless you, beloveds. You are souls of great light and the light is magnified here in this place that was offered by hearts of love. The higher plan has brought recharging to this area--greater intensity of light--because you are able to match it, to come into it, merge with it. You have to become more and more accustomed to the light from which you came. God's light shall one day fill you, but you could not now bear it all at once. So it is stepped up gradually into higher frequencies in each of the atoms or the centers of the cells of each part of your being.

Many are assisting in this divine program, so know that you do not walk alone. Guardians walk with you and help you because you have opened tho door through your willingness and desire--your consent. Your Shepherd shall lead you all the way. Fear note Ho is close beside yous. As you come together in these moments your Lord stands in your midst. Peace. Selah.

So be it! Our blessings go with you.

It is coming as you come closer and closer to the davnme Experience the great power, for your Master and Lord has been in your midst. Know this: your Shepherd is with you! Selah.
