Scripture Reading: Luke, Chapter 6

Blessings are with you, beloveds. As you read from your Scriptures we bring you greater realization of the great truths expressed there. It is one of the ways in which we are to assist you. As light increases within the temple, we help you to open to focal points of these truths. Many seem to have difficulty in separating the concepts of the teachings from the history that is revealed in the Holy Writings. Others will not turn to them, so we bring them to you, that you examine them closely.

Each one of you here is in a receptive state of consciousness, having been in meditation or other forms of worship ever since you wakened this morning. Another day is provided for you to see God's wonders working in every aspect of life and experience. As you observe you can learn from everything that is around you, everything that happens. The Christ nature in you is your greatest teacher, for when you are in that nature you are one in the spirit of the Master. You also have the breath of Life within you, and the intelligence and wisdom of the Creator, which He placed in the temple of your being. So you ponder these things in your hearts.

Man has now reached a point where all is fast going under, and he will go under with it if he has not drawn apart from the world systems and cultivated and developed, through practice, more and more communion with his Lord. If that communication is not established, then by his own choice he is cut off, because God does not cut off anyone. The soul, with that innate purpose, creative force and intelligence within, has all the opportunities of communion with the Highest. If there has not been communion it is only because too many things took the attention first and the habit of prayer and communion was not established. If only some would give even half as much time to developing this practice as they do to coffee breaks, If only they would instead come to realize that they cannot go far, or cannot work or think adequately unless they take a break from the world to unite quickly with the Father within--reach there for the Source. This has far greater potency than the coffee or the cigarette they feel they must have to live. ‘hen this sinks in, their physical consciousness joins with and becomes part of reality. Then when there is need for a decision on a problem or project, or the need to know how to cope with a situation or an individual, the soul can move with greater strength in the Greater Power. The quickest way to get help is to be still, to turn within with belief that there is help for you, whatever the problem. Then go back again and again;

When you eat or have that cup of coffee, you do not say, “There must be no good in it because I need more." Stop and reason with your soul. When you carry with you the greatest potency, the greatest strength, the greatest intelligence to solve all problems, the greatest energy of Creation itself--and you being raised up to be governor of it--why do you not turn more often to the storehouse of plenty? Would you complain at having to return again and again, because you have not bothored to knock hard enough? Of course many times you

feel that the request falls on deaf ears. It is your own ears that are deaf.

God has never left you, but because you have not by-passed the 4 human will you become nervous, restless, tired, all the things which you cannot seem to help in the physical dimension. But you can learn to disciplines you can learn to give as much time to that as you do to lesser things. In many things of the world, if you do not succeed at first you try, try again. You are determined to do it, possibly because it would hurt your pride not to. In your soul, bypass the human, but be just as desirous, just as determined, and deliberately practice controlling yourself, your idle thoughts, your depressions, your negative emotions and reactions to each other or to the experiences of life.

Then in higher consciousness you can see, as from a plateau, see the larger picture. As you rise up into your higher nature you can see with a much better perspective and receive answers for your needs, Then you shall apply them consciously, in your daily life, by controlling yourself and your reactions. If you see an opportunity to make better choices, better decisions about your surroundings and your circumstances then, in the higher nature, you become lord of your environment. The Christ is the Lord, but having identified with the higher nature you can then transcend many things, you can take charge and change that which is in your own life, you can choose to separate from that which would keep you from attaining your growth in Christ. This is what you must ever have before you.

Later the Father will reveal other missions, other assignments to you as you move higher and higher into cosmic realms. But right now your goal is to work toward bringing your soul into maturity, into Christhood. Humanly, of course, you cannot do this, but you can consciously join with what is taking place;in making your decisions and choices you can begin to consciously put down your former self.

Cultivate this development by taking time to learn control of your ( own body, that you be still without becoming nervous and restless. Lift your consciousness above it. Thus you will move into greater realization in the light and finally feel a new strength coming in you. As in the higher nature you take control of one thing after another, you will begin to feel stimulated and reassured, because you will know what is happening, and when you can do it in some things you can do it in all, for the Father in you doeth the works according to your focus and realization of needs,

It is a working partnership, with you obedient unto the Father, and yet confident that the Father is in you. You will put down your will that becomes so strong at times, put down pride and let the Father work through you. It may not be the kind af work that you are expecting at all, but let God's life energies flow through you without interruption, without your thoughts or emotions creeping in. When your mind is stayed on God you are not aware of discomforts or other things that would not be agreeable. Gradually you ascend, rise above it in consciousness. Yes, some day there will be a physical ascension, but this that we speak of is your rising above into your higher nature. You will gain this strength through practice. Even if you only have five minutes, come apart in consciousness, aside from distraction, and speak to the Father within--a constant companion.

In addition to more sincere prayer and meditation, assemble together with those of like purpose, those with the same goal; look at the goal together and make more opportunity for practising oneness, One is never a finished product if he constantly draws apart from all else and seeks to climb the steps alone to find oneness with the Father, That is selfish. Continually seek the realization of that oneness, and yet practice coming into oneness with others. This can only be done while you are in the higher nature. As in the

Scripture that was read, you each have a mote in the eye to be removed, Viow the ways and means to reach the goal.

As you come together in times of silent prayer and meditation, or as you speak together of these things, always look toward the goal and realize that the Father, doing the works in you, is bringing it about, but you are consciously cooperating by avoiding that which would be a distraction from this purpose. Let your soul, your motives, your desires be of the highest. By practicing now, learning to take control of yourself, to keep in alignment, you will be able.to be calm in the midst of storms, to not let your head be turned. When you have control of your mind and emotions, and your desire is for the fulfillment of God's purposes in you--you have chosen, let it be lmown unto the Father that you desire His will and not yours--you can go far. Then you will maintain a stability that will keep you in balance when you come in touch with those who are out. of balance, or with imposters from the other side that would enter to use empty vessels which must be filled with one or the other. You conSciously and deliberately empty yourself of "self", praying and seeking God's infilling. When you are filled with God's love and light, there is no room for anyone else from. the other side who might try to possess the body. Many entities are taking the opportunity to move into those with instability. Pray without ceasing; pray. from the heart that you keep a clear view, that you keep your balance for the sake of God's purposes in which you are moving.

Let nothing eclipse the Christ. When you place your focus upon the Christ who came in love that you might enter into the reality of the fullness of Life, it is a constant reminder. The soul is growing toward its Christhood. When you think of Jesus, your Lord, give thanks that he showed, you how to consciously identify with him as you grow, as you maturée You have not yet allowed this to sink fully into your being. It is the Law operating in you in spite of your blindness, your stumbling. This alone should cause you to respond daily to the Father with tremendous love and thanksgiving. Know that He is raising you up in spite of your ignorance of His laws.

You can assist and consciously participate in this, which is more joyful and brings communion more quickly. But both the physical consciousness and the soul must be looking in the same direction. They must each be looking at the goal, the fulfillment of the Father's Plan--bringing forth that begotten of Him into incorruptible bodies of light filled with love and wisdom--Christed-- to go further in His purposes. This is His will. Seek His will, cooperate with the desire of the soul, the will of the Father, and bring yourself into line, consciously. Think of a drunk man moving about, boistrous, determined to have his way, blurring his consciousness and covering up the intent and purpose of the soule in his true mind, when he is sober, he is ashamed of himself. Then he wants to take control of his body and actions, and consciously and soberly do what he knows to do.

This is what you are doing when you come out of the old way. Whether it has been through ignorance or much shifting of focus to other things, you have been as blinded, as drunk--drunk with the world--even though you have come apart from the greater portion of that world. Aim higher and you will come into a sober realization of what your goal is, what your purpose is, and you will want to make for it straight away. Then you consciouslycomo into alignment and begin to govern your actions and reactions, emotions and idle thoughts, set your mind and your focus on the attainment that you desire. You are composed of Godenergies, the building blocks of Spirit.

Through choice made long ago you offered your soul unto the Maker, you saw and accepted the love of Jesus, the Christ. This is essential if you would go his Way (which is the Father's Way) and become like your Lord. He is

the demonstration of the law--the Father manifesting His works through him before the eyes of men. He calls you to follow the Way, the Law, and do el / wise. It is as you would teach'and guide small children, saying to them, "You are growing up to become like this. Come, follow me, and I will guide you, love and care for you until you reach a place of full understanding, when you come into maturity." So the aim of the child is to hurry and grow up like Daddy or

Mothere You learn to lift your sights higher and grow, becoming the likeness of the Lord of Earth

This is a flock being raised up in spite of the fact that it hos almost died out while awaiting restorations lords for God's cosmic creations Strength, training, discipline, integrity are all a part of this nature. You cannot live in the human nature and attain it. You must choose and give up one that you have the other. Learn to recognize the actions of the human natures You Imow when you are irritable, upset, quick-tempered, impatient, jealous, full of pride of accomplishment, any of these things. No one has to tell you that they are not of the Christ nature. You know it, but for the moment you rather enjoy it, It satisfies your will for the time you/Like this. Other times you forget and you slide into it and wonder how it happened. Then you repent, for that is not your real intent. This brings better control, better coordinatione

It is the Christ nature of you that takes this control when allowed, when you are not slipping back into the old ways, trying to justify them by saying, “Oh, I want to do this just a little longer." There is no justi-- fications It is one or the other. Which do you really choose, which do you mean to have, and how much do you mean it? Are you determined in your soul that nothing shall stop you? This is what you believe now. See to it that you follow through in that manner by more and more prayer within.

Speak to the Father, even as a companion. He walks and talks with you, He is in you. You cannot breathe without Him. You can say to Him, “Father, lead me on. Father, give me strength, Father, show me the way. Father, it is your will I want." Do it so that it becomes such a habit that you would not think of doing it any other way. This is not forcings it is harnessing the energies, making sure of your goal, being selective, being discerning, and moving with that which is going to bring about the fulfillment of your purposes

Once again, the key is to learn to be absolutely still. You are restless even when you think you are still. If there is physical pain, it is harder, of course. If you can,do something to work with, to romovo the pain beforehand. Get in a comfortable place to sit or lie down. Then gather all your energies into harness and say in the higher nature, "I take control of this kingdom --the body, the temple, with the Christ the priest of that temple. Realize that the symbolism helps you to enter into the concept, and then it becomes conscious reality. But it depends upon where you want to go, how much you mean it when you have chosen, and whether you would rather have it part-time (and many other things on the side) or whether it is your life and everything you do. If this is the case, everywhere you go it is in that nature and in that attitude. Then all things will work together for good.

Let your love and forgiveness expand and encompass many, and as your Holy Writings say, not only those that you love and like but those that you do not. And yet do not purticipate in the actions of those with another goal, The motives of the heart, and the focus on the goal will tell you all you need to know about anyone. You do not judge this, but you choose whether you walk with it or note Walk the path with your eyes on that which the Master demonstrated, and thank God that the lew is in action in you.

It is surprising to realize that the temple of you can become that which Christ demonstrated, but you do not belong to yourself, you are not the

human self, and you are coming back into the realization of your true identity. You are the Father's begotten temple that He is caring for and bringing to the perfect state of His plan. Realize this, accept it, abide in it and move with it consciously, deliberately, thankfully and lovingly. God in you shall be the overflowing and you shall be raised up to be like Him. This is a holy assignment with God-the-Father the director, and your Lord the Shepherd, because he is going before you with the example--ever before you.

Love brought it about, the Father's law of creation, and the extension of His plan in greater light and powers-the idea of Divinity to send forth the begotten, each one to come into that manifestation. As the time for delivery is at hand, there shall be a new Earth for these that God raised up. This means no superiority in man; only a different purpose for the begotten of the Father as He works and rules his Kingdoms through the carriers of that love and light.

Bless you. Realize that your responsibilities are not unto yourself, that you enjoy the Earth. Instead you will rejoice in the many things that come with an abundant life of spirit. Now it is yours to obey without seeing the reward as yet, kmowing that your Father has much in store for you as you obey and follow, Relax and let the Spirit work through yous be still and know that God is within, Our love goes with you, and many are helping as you remain true to your purpose and goal, Selah.

So be it! You are practicing this law when you come together in this manner, in your highest consciousness. Then you are attuned in love and oneness with each other and with your Lord, and the Father working in you brings realization. There is love and union with those in the highest, when you rise up in consciousness and put down everything else. You come up together, obedient unto His law, one with others of like purposée Thus the magnification of spirit and your Lord walking in your midst, with a touch of light and love and blessing for each. He has been with you all along, but you come into the realization of it as you put dow your old self, come up out of the world, rise into your higher nature--the Christ being in you. Your awareness and your high purpose lift you into the least momentary functioning of your Christ nature which is indwelling in the temple God provided. Selah.

Your Shepherd goes forth before you. Love, my children, and you shell be lifted up. My peace I give unto you.
