It was promised that in obedience to the words given you would be protected and held together, held from your own scatterings

…It is necessary to keep joyous in understanding love, to keep faithful because that is where your heart is, inspired, transcended that you may know yourself as a child of the Creator. When you affirm this joyous and indomitable resolution and keep yourself involuntarily within yourself, calm, sure, undismayed, unafraid – then you will not scatter and be at the mercy of the violences and the jealousies, the humiliations and dullness of stupid events.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 161

The time has come for you to march against this tide of darkness and carry your lighted lamps quietly, steadily …. Come in where you belong and give this tragic world the infinite qualities of spirit when you let it have its way with you as channels for joy, beauty and truth. You are spiritual beings, you are great and noble people when you are your divine selves.

All the great works and wonders that the Creator has ever wrought, … or even the Creator with all the Creator’s goodness, can never make me blessed, but only in so far as they exist and are done and loved, known, tasted, and felt within me.
Theologica Germanica, 1497

The simplest metaphor is that you are a lamp, for you can become illumined and the invisible rays of light that shine through your even fitful awareness, then touch elements of which you have no knowledge.

…We fitfully hold in awareness the illuminating spirit.

Do not be self conscious about self discipline for then it is easy to become self-righteous. The advice is, take action but be silent, for the real purpose is to awaken your faculties to a clean awareness of the reality of the Spirit. Let everything you do be toward that goal – everything. But for the sake of your personal lives do no do it too eagerly, do it silently, easily as breathing and thoughtfully. Fast from too much talk (as well as food) in things spiritual; you will be told when to speak.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 165

You are to be still, tenacious, faithful, that you may be an impersonal channel for the outpouring of wisdom and peace. As one said, “When you meditate upon not only your listening mind but the other door of your mind as well so that eternal love streams out as fast as it comes in. Store nothing. Go into the calm and luminous silence to renew, but stay in the soil of your life for your strength. Do not waste time asking for peace; get more fearless peace into your souls, then you will be some good – and peace will follow.”
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 166

When you walk in immortality there is neither big nor little, and when you “deny yourself” by making clear the way for the Spirit, you are giving light to the world – giving it when, of yourself, you do nothing. What is asked of you is to keep the light burning brightly in quietness and to carry your illumination with you always.

Lift your hearts high above the storms of hatred and fear. A great role can be yours if you will be simple, and in all tenderness and love and assurance we ask you again to stand in the light and not waiver. Keeping your emotional centers where they belong is your safety and in so doing you help profoundly in the regeneration that will come to pass.

Love within is the beginning of all things, and you are forever beginning.

Nothing can release you so much as your awareness and sense of oneness with the presence of the Creator.

The gift of beauty
Leave all quietly to God
My soul only joy.

Melt into the invisible serenity of the Creator in you and the healing rays will go forth doing the works.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 171

Those who can find safe haven in the spiritual awareness of their own godhood, awareness of the Spirit within them not only stand near to the love of the Creator but lift the race with them. Whenever you draw near to the secret place (of inner connection with our Creator) you do not go entirely alone; you take mankind with you…. By the healing and renewing of your own spirit you send out light to all consciousness.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 172

Your awareness should not be a divided thing, feeling he Creator one time and then having long intervals of forgetfulness. It is rather that you feel the Creator within you, beside you and about you actually while in different environments. Keep the contact if you can as an undertone or overtone; carry your stillness with you.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 173

Be dismayed by nothing. Keep this inward contact secure in your outward living; for this is being in the ark of salvation, and this is the way to keep yourselves channels for the Spirit to pour through to those who walk in darkness. Hold your light high by being faithful and abiding in all you have learned of enlightenment.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 174

Each one has to go through the process of finding out that the fight with materialism and all the cyclical forces, is one where he or she fights alone, and the fight is choosing the ideas or awakening to the idea; and new ideas are always painful to the unspiritual.

If you approach the spiritual growth by planning you will delay your progress.

What are you trying to bring forth is a living consciousness of oneness with the Creator.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 177

The quietness is a steadying strength not of our own making though of our own accepting; and what is given forth from it is felt also.

Your dominion over yourself and the circumstances of your life can be glorious if you keep your center clean, illumined and still in immortal silence. Here is selflessness, here is revealed true knowledge, wisdom, power, and courage; the dignity of courage which is loyal to that which is not your human self. You will be given divine strategy in dealing with seemingly hopeless difficulties.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 181

Down through the ages humans have attempted to hold a half awakened consciousness to the nearness of the presence of that which beats the heart and gives us life. Naked you are born, and naked you die; it is seldom realized that naked and defenseless you live.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 182

I tell you that the Spirit can overcome the sword and pain and sorrow. The Spirit, completely realized, will guide and protect you and lead you through all dangers; it will give you strength, power, and inward peace. This is the reward of eternal vigilance, of realization of the Creator as your constant companion.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> page 183

All that you have ever been told, all that you have sensed of the Spirit is reduced to the simple instruction…. Keep in touch with your divine companion in all the ways of your life.

Oh listen, listen, listen all the day through.
