The tides of life run on and the cycles repeat the outworn concerns of humanity while the expansion of consciousness occurs at an unprecedented rate in the octaves of light. Fear rules the night and hope rules the day. Let those who can, relinquish their hold upon tedious patterns of fear and hopelessness, of defeat and of doubt. Let courage mount, and in this age let the yoke of tyranny be thrown off by hearts that can meet life with joy and the clasp of eternal friendship!
Precious ones, the beauty of universal Love is beyond the mind of man to know. But you may touch it, yea, you may rest upon it, as you fashion your acts in accordance with that which a master would do. There are those who chastise in ignorance the followers of our light to the farthest outreaches of mortal comprehension. These know not what they do. They trample upon their own skin and disgrace their own future opportunity. The dogmatism of the world, then, is a frightful thing which sets brother against brother and destroys comprehension for those who could otherwise have the blessedness of being led into a country of deliverance where our love shines forth as the sun in all her splendor.
Who are those who cry, saying, "We faint not, nor are we weary"? When the first fling of test is made and the arrows search out the shield of their faith, these hide behind every thin tree. Now has come the hour of deliverance, when men in facing themselves assess the strength of their own honor. Such as these brave the infinite. They are not compelled by a lack of any good thing, whether it be understanding or the supply of mortal substance. Such as these pin their faith in the grace of God which passeth all human understanding but hold steady course toward the port of peace.
Men think that I am afar when I am nigh. Men think that my passage from the screen of visible life has placed me outside the arena of help and interest. Yea, I say unto you, in the error of their thought they have deemed heaven afar off. Yet, we are all nigh and we surround you with our love. During those moments of your greatest distress, when hope sometimes seems to have flown out the window, we are there giving courage which enables you to pass the test and emerge victorious.
Ours is not the action and loyalty of a moment, but of eternity. Through following us in the regeneration, you shall find your souls restored. The healing light shall emerge from the shroud of mortal reason and the fog that surrounds man with the densities of the vicious "who know not what they do." Yours is the opportunity of service, to serve with me in the regeneration, to gird yourselves round about, as masters do, and understand that when men speak well of you, so often did they of the false prophets. Therefore, fear not when men speak evil of you, for each blow struck for God, as for God and Gideon of old, does but break the crack in human recalcitrance so that the light of each man may shine through and provide the star of his own future victory.
We are not contaminated by the hopeless attitudes of mankind, nor are we afrighted by the terrors which men produce. Ours is the calm knowing that the victory is God's and that although all contemporary men were to pass in an instant from the screen of life, all could be transplanted and wave as flowers in a new field as "in the twinkling of an eye."
In God, past, present, and future do yield themselves to the bliss of his consciousness, and that consciousness, as a line stretching from the farthest star on to the nearest, provides the impetus of continual friendship expanded without limit. I cannot brush off lightly the calls made to me by the mankind of earth which are mounting with ever-new crescendos in these days, nor can I lightly dismiss the fact that the coming days may bring forth even more calls for assistance. I can enlist the aid of all who understand the need to "watch with me" during the hours of mankind's peril and to provide for them avenues of comfort, an ever-present succor in hours of distress that will hold their hand in the night hour and teach them the way of peace and love.
True though it be that not all who say unto me "Lord, Lord" shall enter into my kingdom, yet, those who come with humble heart and the will to serve shall not be turned away empty-handed. Truth is stronger than error, and the strands of truth that are woven into the soul, with each movement of the loom of life, will ready for mankind the seamless garment that can provide the quality of hardiness, when necessary, and the softness of gentility when that is the requirement of the hour.
To be all things to all people is to come to a rapport with Divine Reason which would deliver all men from evil and bring to all the happiness which God yearns to give. The hunger of the Father's heart is little understood by mankind and his will to bestow of himself and his bounty. Yet, he has said, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." It was the Father who spake through me and continues to speak to the present hour, through all who serve his cause, words of assistance, eternal words of value, that shall not pass away.
Anchor, then, thy faith in the love of heaven and in the love of the ascended beings who serve without ceasing and live in the eternalness of God, driving forth day by day mighty flashes of energy and devotion to the holy principles of God so that even the blind may see the light that does not fail.
Lovingly I AM your elder brother,
