Great Power is released when anyone touches any inner Mystery. If the work is being forced without proper release of Love and the taking on of full responsibility, we can see just how terrible the reaction of misused Power must be. For it is misused unless tiny, petty details are being watched, idle words lifted, enough praise, prayer and love are going forth every minute to make certain that the Power is going forth uncolored by self.

1.	Instantly lift everything that comes to us into the Light, as a constant, steady habit.
2.	Constantly express (be) Joy.
3.	Constantly express (be) Love to fulfill the Law.
4.	Constantly express (be) praise, gratefulness and thankfulness.
5.	Constantly express (be) a living torch of Unconquerable Faith – walk with God all the time.
6.	Keep desires at a White Point of Heat.
7.	Constantly express (be) tolerant of all – religions, points of view and ways of life, realizing that everyone is right in the place where he stands at the present time, and we are all from the same Source.
8.	Instantaneous acceptance of Law, no questioning, no deviating, no "whys, ifs or cant’s."
9.	Never sit in the High Seat of Judgment to pass judgment upon another – only God can judge.
10.	Watch critical attitudes.
11.	Watch condemnatory attitudes.
12.	Make your body a fitting dwelling place for your Soul. Build the body into God’s perfect Temple, an age 35 body.

We may be praying for someone or some condition even before being asked but it works better when someone puts up a line. In a problem situation, whatever comes after we have done our full best as love, that shall we accept. We must do our work in love, no doubts, no self. Let outsiders be our soul-sharpening knives to cut all darkness asunder from each.

Remember, when karma is over, when Initiations are finished, we move on higher. Nothing lasts forever. We must do our work well, so that there can be no doubt in our minds. An earned joy is the greater when it comes.

To choose when the choice means a very great sacrifice, rather than to ask for Orders, gives the greatest credits of advance. Edna Miriam never knows why the Masters do not let her in on their secrets. "I can only write as it is given me and ask no questions." Sometimes the Orders contradict previous Orders, an Initiation for instant obedience for the receiver. Only the very high Queens can ‘take it’ and still believe. There is always a great behind-the-scenes reason for anything which savors in the least of contradiction.

"I am now Become Responsible for all my own earth life. The spot I occupy now I have made for myself. The work I do now is as a servant of God.

All that comes to me is my very own, either Light or Dark, it has been Created by me for myself by my own use or misuse of Life, Light, Power, Mind and Substance. That which I do not like or enjoy, I have Created. From this hour forth, I shall live life by Love alone and let God do His perfect work as me."

We must be sure our love is great enough to stand firm upon justice. Love shall bring us through the waters of self safely.

As healing moves forth in body and affairs, it may take time but move it will, because love draws forth from the hidden places that which has been buried for ages. Once we accept full responsibility in life, we start upward.

Study in zeal and fervency St. Matthew 22:32-40: But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, "Master, which is the great commandment in the law?" Jesus said unto him, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."

Pray for Light upon these two Laws. Use them. The "works" you perform are the "proof" of your obedience to the "first commandment"– "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." The giving of love is the practical application of all Law. You pay your karmic debts by obeying this commandment.

"Love thy neighbor as thyself" refers to confidence in one’s own ability. Give your neighbor the same credit you give yourself. This is putting the Golden Rule to work.

Ponder on Love. Make your lives perfection in the Release of Love. Find other love-ideas. Study our Declaration of Unquenchable Love. Make it your goal in daily living. This is your full Ascension work. Love until you become Unquenchable Love.

God is Love. Love is "the end, as well as the beginning." The unity of love is a complete circle, which leads back home. All must be enfolded, according to God’s great Plan, through love.

Devotion is constant, mindful service. Love is "giving," not "getting" and "feeds upon itself." There should be no "interest" sought in love.

Self-pity is corroding. It is either self, or true love. If it is true love, it has no self-pity in it. No effort is too great. All is absolute choice, never force.

Watch idle words. Watch self-pity. Watch – there is no part time for the present moment, only to prepare for the future. Watch arrogance.

Our Guards build the right pictures before our eyes to help us desire to conquer self. We all have to do more scraping of the old self, as we must do all this earth life. To say, "I have more work to do on self and I shall keep on digging," is the right answer.

Be in the deeps of love, yet be in the heights of overcoming all that remains of self. When given Orders, it’s legal to seek advice as to the how, but never to ask to change the Orders. Do not seek to have the cup pass from thee.

The more Life you use, the more need to draw upon Life for your service, work, study and prayers, the more shall be released through you. You shall be alight and alive, glorious and free, alert and quickened with Glory.

Have no fears, no doubts. Do that "next thing next" and the Father shall o’ershadow you unto all illumination, all strength, physical and all mental capacities. Show full willingness to do the impossible. You are a Leader-in-Training. How hard can you work to advance to a position of full responsibility, incapable of mistakes through use of an unwieldy, unbridled tongue, so close to God that it shall be impossible to blunder in His Service? You can do anything you can imagine yourself as doing.

Love does fulfill the Law. Love does open all doors. Love does supply all of us with an earning place now. Love does give us the key. Love is the door wide open to success. Love is the way of life. Faith is all-conquering when backed by Love of God. So love, love, love is our watch word and our sustenance and our barrier-melter, where all else is melted, dissolved and Light reigns King. We go forward, upward.

Dullness comes from too much physical rest. Open yourself to Light, Life, Glory from Above. Mental work opens brain cell doors to full Light. Rest UP at night. Lift UP when in Class or Study.

There is no "lesser" or "greater," except in the ability "to accept" and "to surrender" all of self. Time and time alone spent in sacrifice of self will place anyone in the vast Realms, where Chronological Age is held supreme.

"The Lord (Law) has already worked all things together for our good. I accept. I receive now." Add this to daily words of praise: "This is His salvation for us and the whole world. He has already heard all our prayers and they are now fulfilled in full! Our Faith is Unconquerable now. Our spoken words are now made fast in the outer."

To some, the Light of soul is always strong and they always know when their Light grows dim. Where one does not know of dimming Light, then how can that one be fully responsible? The few truly strong are always responsible for the weak and unknowledgeable ones, yet they receive much credit in Heaven.

We were told to go over the Laws given in Yellow Pine – go back to details – more necessary now than ever. Remember, "If it is not good for all people at all times, it is not good for me at any time." We were reprimanded over kitchen details, reminded that we could not rule planets if we could let one detail slip.

We have no time to ‘slip’ over details. There is no small thing – we must be up, ready to be used at all times.

There is no little thing! We must have honor, loyalty, dependability. We must be balanced – no carelessness – no indifference for both make for dry rot! Do not live under the skull – live from above, where we can see in all directions. "Open the Door and let God move through you."

We cannot pay a debt with anything that will involve another individual – or anything that will keep us from releasing Power.

The seat of Desire is in the solar plexus; the seat of Will is in the center of consciousness in the head. When Will sinks to the seat of Desire, the individual lives his life in its lower aspect, with no will power for anything else. When the subconscious mind is cleansed, it moves up as subsoul and mates with Will in the head. When this mating takes place, Will becomes Illumination with its seat in the pineal gland and desire becomes the seat of Intuition in the pituitary gland. This is known as the first Marriage of the Lamb. The Light is then released through the Higher Creative Center onto the nerve ganglia known as the optic thalamus, which is called the Mystic Eye.

This mating of Will and Desire opens the three Windows of the Soul. The Holy Breath as the White Light of the Christ moves through the middle window, which is the Window of the Mother and mingles with its Blue Ray. The Red Ray functions through the right window and the Yellow Ray functions through the left window.

There are 32 sets of nerves, which move up the spine, cross over at the base of the skull, move through the pons and into the midbrain, forming nerve ganglia in the midbrain, which is the seat of the akashic [soul] records of past lives. These nerves then move from the midbrain and up through the convolutions of the brain becoming the nerve centers in the brain, each with a phosphorescent tip that bursts into a Flame of Glory when touched by the White Light of the Christ, forming the flaming petals of the 1,000-petaled lotus, which we call a halo.

A group of nerves from the midbrain form a large band of nerves and cross over directly under the Windows of the Soul, the pineal and pituitary glands to form the optic nerve. The crossover point becomes the center mentioned earlier as the optic thalamus or seat of the All-Seeing or Mystic Eye. From this, the White Light of the Christ shines out through the forehead into the etheric substance about the individual. This Light is the "Spirit of the Lord, which goeth before to make clear and easy the way."

After the first Marriage of the Lamb, the Oversoul begins to descend as the three in one, finally moving in and taking possession of the seat of the Higher Creative Center, the pineal and pituitary glands and rules the body. The Higher Creative Center of the fire body of the Oversoul is a five-pointed blue star whose heart is a small yellow six-pointed star. The lower points of the five-pointed star are the protectors of the pineal and pituitary creative center. The upper points have rays that protect the lotus petals so they do not have to close.

The Light from your own Star shines down through this five-pointed blue star and the six-pointed yellow star as Super Vision, giving complete freedom of all the spheres, circles and realms. When the Oversoul stays in the body, there is nothing but health, strength, radiance; Spirit is beautiful within and without, the individual becomes a Christed One.

In this equipment, we are supposed to live as a God. Everything God has in the universe is in this body. We are the microcosm of the macrocosm and like the whole.

Under Law, when any soul leaves to incarnate of choice, even for the saving of a world, that Place is accounted open to the first one who is able to return in perfection. Howbeit, every time there is a challenge to the one who has sacrificed the Place, the challenger must then do double in service. In this way are the ones who descend for service protected so that they may win back their Places once more.

Joy is that quality that sings in your heart and throbs through you.
