Brotherhood
And Godhead
All
Are One
Again Elihu
met his pupils in the sacred grove and said,
“No man lives unto himself; for every living thing is bound by cords to every
other living thing.
Blest are the pure in heart; for they will love and not demand love in return.
They will not do to other men what they would not have other men do unto them.”
Comparison Of
Body And Spirit
There are two selves; the higher and
the lower self.
The higher self is human spirit clothed with soul, made in the form of God.
The lower self, the carnal self, the body of desires, is a reflection of the
higher self, distorted by the murky ethers of the flesh.
The lower self is an illusion, and will pass away; the higher self is God in
man, and will not pass away.
The higher self is the embodiment of truth reversed – inherent knowledge in
every man, and so is falsehood manifest.
The higher self is justice, mercy, love and right; the lower self is what the
higher self is not.
The lower self breeds hatred, slander, lewdness,
murders, theft, and everything that harms; the higher self is mother of
the virtues and the harmonies of life.
The lower self is rich in promises, but poor in blessedness and peace; it
offers pleasure, joy and satisfying gains; but gives unrest and misery and
death.
It gives men apples that are lovely to the eye and pleasant to the smell, but
their cores are full of bitterness and gall – earthy things which have no
benefit in spirit.
If you would ask me what to study I would say, yourselves; and when you will
have studied them, and then would ask me what to study next, I would reply,
yourselves.
He who knows well his lower self, knows the illusions of the world, knows of
the things that pass away; and he who knows his higher self, knows God; knows
well the things that cannot pass away.
Thrice blessed is the man who has made
purity and love his very own; he has been ransomed from the perils of the lower
self and is himself his higher self.
Men seek salvation from an evil that they deem a living monster of the nether world; and they have gods
that are but demons in disguise – numerous man-made churches, ministries and
fellowships; all powerful, yet full of jealousy and hate and lust; Whose favours must be bought with costly sacrifice of fruits, and
of the lives of birds, and animals, and human kind – multiplicity of idolatry.
And yet these gods possess no ears to hear, no eyes to see, no heart to sympathise, no power to save.
This evil is myth; these gods are made of air – false spirits - clothed with
shadows of a thought. The only devil from which men must be redeemed is self,
the lower self. If man would find his devil, he must look within; his name is
self.
If man would find his saviour, he must look within;
and when the demon self has been dethroned, the saviour,
Love, will be exulted to the throne of power.
The David of the light is Purity, who slays the strong Goliath of the dark, and
seats the saviour, Love, upon the throne.
Teamwork
And Cooperation
Salome taught the lesson of the day.
She said, “All times are not alike. Today, the words of man may have the
greatest power; tomorrow women teaches best.
In all the ways of life, the man and woman should walk hand in hand; the one
without the other is but half; each has a work to do.
But all things teach; each has a time and a season for its own. The sun, the
moon have lessons of their own for men; but each one teaches at the appointed
time.
The lessons of the sun fall down on human hearts, like withered leaves upon a
stream, if given in the season of the moon and all the stars.
Mood
Swing
Today,
one walks in gloom, downhearted and oppressed; tomorrow, that same one is
filled with joy.
Today, the heavens seem full of blessedness and hope; tomorrow, hope has fled,
and every plan and purpose comes to naught.
Today, one wants to curse the very ground on which he treads; tomorrow, he is
full of love and praise.
Today, one hates, scorns and envies, and is jealous of the child he loves;
tomorrow, he has risen above his carnal self, and breathes forth gladness and
goodwill.
A thousand times men wonder why these heights and depths, these light hearts and these sad, are
found in every life.
Nature
Is An Open Book
Humanity do not know that there are
teachers everywhere, each busy with a God-appointed task, and driving home to
human hearts the truth. But this is true, and every one receives the lessons
that he needs.
And Mary said, “Today, I am in great
exultation; my thoughts and all my life seem lifted up; why am I thus
inspired?”
Salome replied, “This is a day of exultation; day of worship and of praise; a
day when, in a measure, we may comprehend our God the Father.
Everything Is A
Teacher
Everything God created is a teacher, a silent teacher. And you shall not understand what they are saying, unless the Holy Spirit tells you, and unless you observe quiet time and meditation. For example, anytime you see rain falling and the sun shining at the same time. That is the time God sends blessing to the world. Therefore, whenever you see rain falling and sun shining at the same time, you should kneel down and bow down to God, and pray for your needs and problems.
The
Same God In Different Manifestations
Then let us study God, the One, the
Three, the Seven. Before the worlds were formed all
things were One; just Spirit, Universal Breath.
And Spirit breathed, and that which was manifest as God Almighty, Yahweh, the
Lord of the Hosts, became two as the Lords Almighty, each exactly as the same
as the other – God the Father and God the FirstSon.
In
The Beginning And Before The Beginning
The man who saw God face to face, before more than forty
(40) times, later more than seventy (70) times and now more than hundred (100)
times said, “And God showed me how He
divided Himself into two equal persons. Each as the Lord Almighty, and exactly
the same as the other. If you were not shown the first and the last, you shall
not be able to identify the first or the last, because the two are exactly the
same in spirit, in shape, in size, in appearance, in power and authority, and
in power and glory.
As the one God became
two, light was shining forth from their bodies. The two lights were exactly the
same, and it is the Holy Spirit. The same light can spread itself everywhere,
as omnipresence. The light can also gather itself into a human shape, exactly
as God Almighty.”
And when the Triune God breathed forth, lo, seven Spirits stood before the
throne
These are Elohim, creative spirits of
the universe.
And these are they who said, “Let us make man; and in their image man was made.
God
Is One And Also Manifold
And the Great God was One.
The One became the Two, and the Two
were Three.
And the Three evolved the Seven, which
filled the universe with manifest and unmanifest
creations.
