Men ask in faith and they receive in faith. Love begets love and the pinions of the world are raised because men generate faith in love. Without faith God is not pleased, for men's motives must be elevated and the age perceived as the doorway of magnificent opportunity.
Vulnerability is created by doubt, and every unclean spirit rushes in where doubt is, for there is an affinity between the vibratory action of doubt and that of the spirits who have thrust themselves from eternal purposes by reason of the doubt they entertain concerning their own purposes. And thus, the idle drift of their consciousness has closed the door to universal order and design.
The harvest of reality springs from the actualization of life as God planned it. How carefully he has wrought all the elements of creation; how beautifully he has executed the designs of the cosmic arch in order that every child of the sun might have a place in the temple beautiful - a niche of consciousness that would, like the peal of a great organ, echo in the cathedral of humanity beautiful as the peal of foreverness which enhances the beauty of every moment. Life in faith is beautiful, and it is beautiful because it is representative of the summoning of endeavor.
Without action, man lives not. With divine action and divine purpose, the thrust of mortal ideas is lessened and the way for transmutation of wrong effort and misdirection is opened. How we long to see the vibratory actions that have produced so much unhappiness in the world stripped of the power that men through carelessness have given them and changed in every way. For then we know that the great Christ-design of Universal Love will be perpetually enthroned in every heart and mind.
Consciousness is the kingdom of heaven, and when it is filled with a realization of cosmic purpose, wedded to divine effort as God does work his purposes in man, there will come about an architecture of the Spirit whereby the nobility of soul will build new temples of righteousness upon a solid foundation of perfect order. How else shall the plan be executed?
Every electron has a trajectory of purpose, and the arch of triumph is the victory of faith in the soul. Unless men believe that they can do a specific act, and, indeed, every act that the law requires that they must do, as an act of faith in order to produce their own doorway to freedom, they will be unable to cope with the long, entrenched, historical destinies of the present world order.
Christendom reeks with the witchcraft of old records that have been sustained against the golden dawn of infinite purpose that presages a golden age. How, then, shall we build the new unless the old be self-destructing? But men have not neglected old evils; they have nourished them as Romulus and Remus were nourished upon the paps of a wolf, and the glories of worldly pomp have been enshrined against the magnificence of the living Christ.
Yet, He liveth, and He will ultimately triumph over the destinies of men. He comes not to interfere with man's free will, but to educate and lead that free will away from the malignant forces that have for thousands of years executed almost complete dominance over the world order.
As we lead men in the vanguard of righteousness, as we prepare for the victory of this moment and of those moments to come, it is in that supreme consciousness that the patterns of destiny that God has held in his great heart of faith for mankind shall be executed. This shall be done because the noble and great men of old, who have ascended into the octaves of light, are able to act as captains of the Lord's hosts in this day and age to do battle with those forces of evil that have now for far too long remained entrenched.
Therefore, there is hope in heaven that the fruit of this age may not prove to be a golden apple filled with the bitterness of ash. It is our hope in this time of testing and striving by mankind that the fan that is in the hand of God will be perceived as the measurements of the heart - that the heart will be perceived as the seat of consciousness where repudiation of darkness can occur and the light can be invoked as the Shekinah glory upon the ark of the covenant of old.1
It is the will of God to thrust from man the poisoned cup which he himself has created and to give to the earth a communion cup of universality which will show to each individual monad that his strength lies in union. Without union and the cosmic purposes from whence true union sprang, men would indeed be divergent in both thought and act. When union with light is recognized for what it can do for men, a convergence of ideas will create a confluence of spiritual power and energy, a reservoir of strength in which all who are engaged in the battle for the light may renew themselves.
I stand together with my hosts of light today in an ever-intensifying effort for and on behalf of the children of this planet to secure for them and for their posterity that special blend of righteousness and justice that cannot be moved or swerved from its course.
When the going seems to be difficult and contact with our octaves of light somewhat infrequent, remember that just as the sun is always shining behind clouds or horizon, so the power of our legions of light is ever in action, renewing day by day our allegiance to Christ's purposes for the illumination of mankind, and striving to free the earth from the old hates which men in their ignorance have perpetuated.
We cannot do it alone, for the influences of mankind's own thoughts and feelings upon their children, upon their neighbors, and upon the earth itself is very great. The holy cause in which we are jointly engaged requires the enlistment of many sons of light to help in the battle to sweep the earth free of the hordes of shadow that have created so much sorrow and pain for this beautiful planet, whose very eyes are washed with tears of regret that the karmic circle must often return to the unrighteous the fruit of their sowings.
Yet the righteous shall shine as the sun in his strength; for in these hours, when brother is set against brother by deliberate maldesign, the supremacy of the law of faith and divine love asserts itself again and again, bolstering the purposes of our diversified band and creating a new climate of hope for those whose hearts can respond to it.
God is not mocked. Life is not mocked. You need not be mocked, for out of great faith is born great strength. Out of great strength comes the recognition of the need for attunement with our Temple of Faith at Banff.
As you hum a victory tune, think of me - for I AM near you, even at the door of your heart, my energies yours.
