Scripture Reading: Letter from Paul to the Romans

Blessings, dear ones. Wo are attuned to you constantly as you are in this higher consciousness, upon this mountain-top of experience, even though by the side of the lake without apparent heights. Yet you have reached great heights as the soul, in expanding and in going into greater light, has focused upon that which is expansion, that which brings freedom to the soul.

We desire that these Scripture readings (which have been guided) be on the tapes as they go forth to many, for we speak not only to you but to those of far distant places who shall hear these tapes and read these messages. We do desire that they get into the printed form as soon as possible so that those who have longed in their hearts to be with you, and have tuned in with you, may unite in the message and purpose of all that has come through in the Spirit at this very effective retreat unto your Lord. Blessed shall be those who help in this matter, for they have received, and having freely received they give out and help, that others may also partake, passing the cup of the water of Life from one to the other until it encircles the globe.

There has been much in the reading of these letters to the early Christians, the early churches, for those that have eyes to see and ears to hear. There is much more meaning here than meets the eye. The letters, which appeared to be going to the Christians in that day, were actually written to you in this day. It is as though the Spirit of God would deliver the message afresh unto your souls, now that you are ready to receive. For it is the same story: the same difficulties of human nature, the same pulling away, pulling against each other of all the groups of this modern day that are going off on tangents, The answers are just as fresh as though they came direct at this moment. They are being redirected to those who argue over various techniques and who are bound by habits, those who want their particular ways, rather than focusing upon God, knowing that His great love and harmony transcend all.

Take no anxious thought; turn unto thy God and He shall direct thy ways. Then each one, according to the step upon which he finds himself in his enlightenment, will have a conviction of a particular thing at that time. Just as was given in the Scripture reading: be true to that which you believe, according to the light in you at a given time. But be open to expansion, knowing that you may find yourself a step farther on the way. You will let go of one thing for another as you find that each of these tools or crutches helps you for a time. But be ready to remove the crutches when the time comes to move into something greater. Do not let habits hold you back, even though they may be for a good purpose at the time. All things can be used for springboards, for opportunities to go farther in a greater life of service for your Lord,

Many quarrel and debate over the things that are given emphatically through Spirit, even the very Scripture readings. Thus we want souls to hear again the words that came through then. Many will not open to these places in their Bibles of their own accord, so we are giving this afresh unto your souls,

It calls to remembrance that to which you were directed before. When you find

calamities taking place, when you see mobs and riots, strikes, the resisting of So many things, your answers are waiting--not in the minds of the few who would argue, not in the hearts of those that. fight--but your Lord has already provided r the answers, If you look to those answers you will know whether or not you or anyone should take part in riots or marches. Either of these is chaotic because love is not ruling

Many people are absorbed in health clubs, health foods. Common Sense is the intelligence of God, innate within you, and it is not important to argue over the different foods. Do that which you believe is best for you at a given time. This can be done without offense to your neighbor and you can still be true to the conviction of your souls, according to the light you have at that moment. But do not become so set in your ways or so suspended that you refuse to open to greater light which might reveal more. Allow for this and move along.

Many of these instructions may be for someone in New Zealand, Africa, Australia or other countries and not for yous; it may spark them into a realization of the truth of God. Therefore you need not mind having it said unto you, even though you may not need that particular information. You will know that in passing through this vessel it moves on to others who have great need for it. Those unselfish enough to sit as a vortex, so that which passes through may be helpful to the souls of others, have cooperated with God in His purposes. Or those who bear with repetition which is for souls that might be slow to receive or to respond. Some open more gradually than others. You are living sacrifices unto God, that He use you in whatever way and for whatever purpose, no matter how trivial or unnecessary it may seem to you. You are used for God's good, through His goodness and mercy to all. The plan unfolds through each one. We desire that these messages be very meaningful unto the hearts of all who love their God.

Your world has come to the time and place when it is on the edge of night, ready for the dawn--the crucial moment of the planet. Thus it behooves all of Christian faith to turn their focus upon their Lord and not dwell so much on phenomena of mediumship or things of personal gain. This is a desiring to satisfy the curiosity of the minds Those who have moved forward in the greatest unfoldment, the greatest development of soul, have moved with the tide of the Spirit of God. In reality there is nothing else. This is the path which one must take. If he continues to want the many interesting things of the world, he will remain with that focus and receive of the world. If he desires to travel the path that moves toward his God and reveals His holy plan, then he need have no fear of walking through the Portals of Light into the holy ground of God the Father who prepares the way for those that shall be in His kingdom.

You come apart from one kingdom so that you move into the freedom and expansion of the great Kingdom promised. The mortal minds of many who are still seeking to have their curiosity satisified or are seeking sensation in phenomena will not find this acceptable and will tire of things of the Spirit. The experiences come, but only as the soul moves forward to meet its God. In that union come the greatest ecstacies of all. One will not be suspended in those ecstasies but will move forward in a more subdued manner unto his Lord, and God shall raise up the begotten which He sent forth. This will not be the same as the mortal mind, the intellect, satisfying itself, or the gratification of emotions--two different purposes, two different kingdoms.

Those who would come with us must leave behind the childish things of a former world. Come with us to the mountain tops of your Lord of Earth, for he shall renew the Earth and all upon it. Your souls will not tire of giving glory unto the Father; this is the natural manifestation of the begotten sons of God experiencing natural exaltation with Him. Joy of the Lord is reality; the false happiness of the world is unreality and shall soon fade away. The eternal

Page 132

verities are those with which you must deal

The call goes forth to all those being gathered together in His name for a different purpose from the rest of the world. You have been reassured that God shall care for the others; trust your Lord to take care of them. Your purpose is to follow that which He shows you. Send your prayers and your love unto others, but if you continue in the midst of that which is going down you are in danger of going down with it. Draw apart more and more and focus on your goal. Many will travel part way on the road with you. Many will turn back after going only so far; they will be suspended on that high-road. Fewer are the ones who endure to the end.

Let not your hearts be troubled, for your God is with you unto the end of the age. Overcome the obstacles in your path by placing your faith in the Spirit. Be lifted up into that Spirit and you shall be one with the Overcomer of all.

There is purpose in everything that was read in these meetings and in everything that was brought through. Weigh each word carefully. As you gain the far vision and see more of the great drama of God's life in the solar system you shall see each thing in its true perspective. This is only a part, for there is greater life in the many, many galaxies. You are seeing a portion of a planet that has been out of alignment and you do not yet consciously know what true life is all about. But you will, As you enter into the joys of that life, every other shall be so dim, so small by comparison that all memory of the former shall pass away, because it was and is as a dream that shall pass and be gone forever.

You carry within you memories of your many incarnations, but they are as dreams. You would say of a mentally ill person that he is “out of his mind" or that he is not rational, does not know what reality is. Yet as a whole, the race has been out of its mind, out of its true mind--the Divine Mind of God. It is not lost to it but is out of contact with it, just as one asleep does not realize what is taking place during his sleeps Man, in his third dimension, does not realize what is really taking place.

As the great shaking takes place he shall be brought back to reality, but he should have no fear of coming forth from unreal nightmares into reality, into a balance that he has not consciously known--abundant life in God and joys of the soul that bring all into the harmonious living of the higher spheres. This is as a perfect symphony bringing forth music from all varieties of instruments, all in perfect accord with the one director. As God directs the symphony of souls, beautiful music of ethereal realms comes forth. Colors and light come forth because they are moving through the souls at His direction, blending all into harmonious expansion of creation.

You are being gently prepared in body, mind and soul by the Spirit of God within you, and as we assist and minister unto you it is making connection with your outer consciousness and yet feeding the soul body, strengthening, working according to the great plan that the soul come into the conscious realization. Then that part of you is able to comprehend. and to move with it, be raised up and carried along, whether it is preparation before you pass through the portals--go over in the transition called “death --or are drawn up--"" Lifted into the clouds"--as we say. Either way you will be raised up; both prepare your souls to move on in much greater freedom.

The world has taught you that there is something terrible and fearful in death and that the self-centered you must. grieve for that which you lose. We understand and we have great love and compassion for all, but as you see the larger picture, as your soul willingly comes into line with God's plan of

Page 133

action, you shall see it in a far different way--as a great and joyous graduation,

& release unto the wonderful fields of God's reality. And you desire more and more to travel through these fields yourself. Therefore, when you desire to be £ in God's plan, in His will, you are then surrendering, turning about face, asking for the larger picture, that you be part of it with Him. You are choosing to return home unto the Father who sent you, willing to be obedient unto His plan and for whatever service He would use you. This then brings peace.

There is no peace until the soul comes into alignment with God's will and accepts it. His will shall be done whether it coincides with your viewpoint or note God sees all; you see only in part. Trust in His greater vision, His plan, His wisdom and His great love. He reaches out in great love. He follows through with action after any falling away or deviation, even though there is that great law of cause and effect which would bring to you justice, according to the seeds sowne Remember you are sowing seeds and you will also reap the harvest. So be careful of that which goes out from your heart and watch your motives, your thoughts, your impulsese Have confidence each day that in spite of all your shortsightedness, the Spirit of God in you is raising you up unto His glory and purpose. Consciously move with it rather than resisting it. Then you are moving with the tide--the harmony of His Creation--and His creative power or force moves according to the Great Intelligence. You are individual expressions of Ideas

Too many have become wrapped up in themselves and they justify this by one means or another. Even those in many groups are still thinking of self, wanting to find the quickest way to get there, many times overlooking their fellow man or overriding him. Many dwell upon their experiences so much that they forget their goals, or they try to assure their safety by joining an organization and then they dare not look beyond it. This is the desire of the self to protect self with that limited amount of light. But God protects the soul when the soul desires Him.

Love one another, be willing to sacrifice for one another. Do not foster the weaknesses in others, yet do not judge them but go by that which God reveals unto you. Set your house in order; keep your temple pure. Enter into the Holy of Holies within you and seek your God-direction. It need not match another's. Be very true to that within you, that which you believe in the depths of your heart, but do not try to force it on another. Be obedient unto God, considerate of others, loving to all. Bring forth the magnification of the Spirit. This is a higher application of the great law where two on the physical plane, through love, come together and reproduce children--one phase of the great lew of love and union with the Father. Union with each other, in that high, divine love of the heart, brings forth magnification of Spirit, multiplication of the cells of life. This also opens the door for heavenly ones to come through you, that God's will be accomplished. It is a union of those in Christ, begotten of the Father.

There are many things that sound strange to the mortal mind, but realize it in the heart of you and God shall take action through you. You are bringing forth cells of light by keeping your focus high, by allowing the open door to be used of Him. When your focus is on something less than God and you desire sensotional things along the way, then you open unto the astral, and you receive, many times, something of a plane which you do not know how to handlos

You are part of the great brotherhood of Christ, in tune with the elder brothers, the White Brotherhood, those who have gone on before to ascend unto greater realization in order to work with you--realms within realms of Goats creativity. As two or more come together in His namo--a union in divine love of

Page 134

the Christ--then do not be surprised that not only is there great power of Spirit in your midst, but the Christ-nature of you is drawn forth. And where does it meet its Lord? In your midst. He comes, in response to those of like nature who are ascending. As your consciousness is lifted up, your Shepherd literally comes forth to meet it. As you desire and open, he respondse

The Master has been in your midst several times; he is now. As you assemble here together, forming a great vortex of power, and identify with the disciples in the upper room (as we have asked you to), you are one with your Lord, partaking of spiritual food. He is in your midst.
