IN THE BEGINNING God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."1
It is to this point that we would return in order to reveal the tenderness of the eternal will, for the light shone in the darkness and the darkness comprehended it not.2
It is, then, to comprehension that we dedicate our closing release in this series on the will of God.
Thought is buoyant, but whose thought is more buoyant - man's or God's? If man thinks God's thoughts, are they ineffective because he is man?
The affection of the will is its raison d'être. A will without affection is a nonentity. The natural affection of God for the creation is apparent within the creation, for the fire of creation is the affection of the will of God.
The ability to affect Matter and Spirit simultaneously is the prerogative of the divine will which, in a lower harmonic range, is observed in part by evolving men.
The laws of containment which govern time cycles and the enlargement of space involve the spreading apart of divine ideas from the center point unto the circumference of manifestation.
The tenderness of divine love refuses to yield itself to a moment of sympathy; for such indulgence would deny immortal opportunities, and it is even questionable that it would satisfy temporary thirst. Yet the mercy of the law is functional and practical, and man is never deprived of grace by submission to the will of God.
The grace that is sufficient for every day3 is extracted from the universe by an act of will when that will concerns itself with glorifying God through outer manifestation and purpose.
The will of man is not capable of expanding self or substance, but dedication to the supreme purpose invokes the will that moves mountains.
Man can do the will of God without knowing it, but by being conscious of himself as a part of the will of God he is able to fulfill his destiny in a more sublime way.
The talents and opportunities of life are given to man as stepping-stones toward spiritual achievement, and spiritual achievement is the only goal that is real, hence worthwhile. Eternal life can best be enjoyed spiritually, for "flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God."4
The form maker, who is the form breaker, can also be the form remaker. No loss can occur when one serves the eternal will, for the revelation of the will of God shows the seeker the abundant face of reality.
One glimpse has been sufficient for many avatars who were thereby exalted out of the socket of contemporary worldliness into positions of universal service and love.
The greatest boon comes to those who surrender willingly with or without understanding, but always in the confidence of a faith that observes the universe and its myriad wonders and grasps with the simplicity of a child the reality of universal science.
Known by any name, God is still the Creator-Father of all life and his will bears the fashion of acceptance by all of the emissaries of heaven.
Every active power by which the universe is sustained and managed in the light of cosmic justice comes forth from him, and every spirit that he has created returns to him.
Each spirit is intended to be made like unto him, hence in his image. Any lesser dominion is the having of "other gods before me."5
Therefore, the holy will appears as the fullness of the swaddling garment of the Divine Man, the Son of Righteousness, with which the children of the sun must be clothed.
Stand now to release thyself from the darkness that is in thee6 and face the luminous orb of the Central Sun from whence all creation sprang.
Mindful of his will for good and of his power to extend that will, realize that he is able to extend thy consciousness from its present state - to pick it up, to exalt it, and to draw it into himself by the magnetism of his grace - here and now, prior to thy release from sense consciousness.
Realize that he that keepeth all that is real7 about thee, having received thee momentarily unto himself, is also able to return thee to the present moment unaffected adversely but mightily affected inwardly by a fuller measure of the understanding of his will.
Realize that the will of God can best be known by a spiritual experience. Desire, then, that experience. Desire to reach outwardly toward the Godhead in the Great Central Sun galaxy.
At the same time as thou art reaching inwardly to the implanting of the divine seed within thyself, it is the will to live within thyself that must unite with the will to live as God lives.
This is the divine will within the heart of the Central Sun. This thou must understand and be united with.
If this be accomplished but once consciously, thy life shall ever thereafter be affected by an innate knowing, recorded within, of that which is the will of God. The phantoms and the ghosts that formerly made thee a stranger at the court of heaven will no longer hold power over thee as they once did.
But man's reunion with the Sun can only be accomplished by an act of God. It is a cosmic event which can occur in the world of the individual only when he has proven himself ready for it.
I am a cosmic teacher, and I choose to appear to those who are able to see me with their spiritual eyes, to those who understand that my prime concern is the union of the heart of hearts within man with the Heart of Hearts within God.
For me to provide descriptive passages of these wonders and to record them on paper would in no way compare to the glorious experience that can occur as you rise through the trackless air and far-flung reaches of space into a realization of the will of God that penetrates all substance and all nature.
You must be able to go deeply within, for not in outer accoutrements of name or fame or even in worldly intellect does man find the keys that will transport him to these higher reaches.
We caution that great care must be exercised in this matter, for truly we are not concerned with the developing in men and women of untutored or unguided psychic experience. We want this form of communion to be a rarity rather than a daily practice.
It is something one should try no more often than once a year in just this manner, with the exception of those who have been mightily prepared by advanced training. For them there will unfold the necessary direction which will assist them in having vital experiences to guide them in their solar evolution.
You must understand that the will of God is a sacred adventure.
I have said it thusly for a reason, for the average individual considers an encounter with the will of God a remote possibility. He prays to have the will of God made known to him, but he does not understand that he can have an a priori glimpse of that will while yet in mortal form.
He does not realize that the will that sees can also be seized, in part, as a treasure-house of consciousness and carried back into the domain of the life within. There the great lodestone of truth acts as a divine revelator to reveal to each man from deep within his own heart what the will of God really is.
Above all, let him understand always that, complex and all-embracing though it may be, the will of God can always be reduced to the common denominator of love, life, and light.
