Edna Lister ran for Secretary of Washington State on the Progressive Party ticket in 1948. Their Ticket ran second. Henry Wallace was the party’s Presidential candidate.

January 5, 1948

We advance as high, as far, as gloriously as we can serve in all petty details. Nothing is too small to do well, as the world should do it.


January 9, 1948

On 12th Night, we all reap our full Rewards of Service and we also open the keynote of our year, 1948 – to complete’ that which we have really only just begun well – yet, it can be completed, if we have enough strong and well-directed Desire of soul to finish our work this year. So, let’s dedicate ourselves anew to what must be done.

Hold Wallace high. He is our Hope. He is our Peace Vibration! He cannot deviate or "see" any darkness anywhere or in anyone. So, while we may have to wade through worse darkness to lift it, he must remain true to his ideals that all is perfect. He holds fast to the Peace Vibration.

We hold fast to the Overall Vibration of Light. Recognizing all error and darkness for what it is, and lifting it as we go. Trusting no one on earth beyond their present capacity to live, and using them to advance upon!


January 26, 1948

In love, there is never bondage. Love is an empathetic understanding, each for the other. In love, there is nothing but love and the greatest of all Laws is to love one another. Enough love, each for the other, will cover a multitude of sins, let alone each one’s pet corns. We must love more. We do not yet love our Master or our Father enough. Who is brave enough to follow love all the way?

I am now declaring that there is only love among us. Only love shall lift us higher, ever higher. We shall all let love lift us higher together. There can never be any separation or darkness where love as great as ours for each other lifts each burden into the Glory of the Light. Love shall fulfill or fill full. Love does the work through us.

Love is the only Ascension now and evermore. Love each another now and ever with a deathless and abiding love that casts out all dissension of darkness. Each loose all others to live life as God gives it to them. Let Him be the judge as to actions, as to debts contracted and as to the right or wrong of all. Let Him do the work through you unto His Glory. Let each go to Him in his own right, with each his hands clean and with his heart made pure. Let each care for his own.

Each pays his own debts to Law. Each lifts all others and declares them equal in grace.

From this point, our path is due North (Ascension). From now on we shall grow and expand together. We must remake our Vows to love each another more and more, which means to understand one another more and more.


February 10, 1948

Don’t chase youth. We grow up, not old! It’s fun, so don’t ruin it. Remember that youth is of the soul. Youth is the soul. The Crown of Service is SSS (Selfless Sacrificial Service) twined Ss around a cross of diamonds.

In learning to "see," just keep at it, pay attention to all details and set aside practice time for looking into the invisible.


February 13, 1948

God is good, all-powerful and mightier than anything which earth can ever produce. Therefore, I now have all for every need. Legacies shall now be released, salaries increased, positions shall be opened now.

We are earning the greatest thing the world has ever known. Keep holding fast to that. It shall come to pass. I know.


February 17, 1948

You have gone high on the Inner, marvelously high. Yet remember, this makes you ever more responsible. Above all else, responsible, above anything in the world, except our "Lord and Master," of course. So, be quiet, be sure before speaking, speak little, watch, watch, watch and Praise that it is here now. We must bring this to pass now. Enough praise, love, Joy, "let" and everyone has all dreams and decrees made visible. Isn’t it worth anything we can sacrifice of self? Anything?


February 19, 1948

You have attained your degree of Ascension by your own step by step attention to the mastering of small and earth-petty details. So shall you accomplish the full awakening and whirling of all lotus petals – by your own continued attention to details.

Attention to praise releases the most Power. Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise increases your soul’s Glory. Praise, which increases your Creative Powers, causes Creative Substance to speed up in its action. Thus, are miracles released.


February 27, 1948

"I AM and I have" freedom from all weakness, from all lack, from closed doors, from all delay, freedom from all darkness. I AM free. I have received now!

"I AM and I have" is our motto now – for whatever has been decreed by one and by all. Each one alone may use them as beginning each decree made during the day. Use the "five words" a million times a day!

Repeat together the five words only ("I AM and I have") "seven times seven" in rhythm to build Power.

Release it in this phrase: "The Power so built shall now finish all Ascension work on the outer."


March 21, 1948

The Joy vibration will open the way for the memory cells to register what we learn over there at night.

No man may stay down when any other one shall move upward in Ascension and carry that one in his arms and heart. Love never fails! Joy pays the greatest Honor unto God.

Let Law conquer through you. Look to the Master always, wait a moment and he will increase the Power through you to all good. Release Power where you are to your full quota of service. Hold your soul-consciousness fast always, under all conditions. Every effort toward this will be counted as gain, credits and rewards for effort in Love and time will be given to you.


March 26, 1948

You have made your own present hardships for yourselves in past lives. You are foolish enough to make more now by many and diverse ways of thinking, feeling and imagining. Yet, you can win easily by becoming all diligence, all Honor of God, by continued complete surrender of self.

Remember, though you make a complete surrender each day, each further day that completeness is higher, greater, nobler. Therefore, continue to make each day’s complete surrender ever greater. So shall you ascend.

This, then, is your choice: How long shall I take for the complete releasing of the Power – my share for Earth lifting – into the world? Shall I take the whole year, playing, resting and pampering the "little self," or shall I accomplish this by Ascension Thursday?

New Ascension Vow

By the noble effort of the Love I bear my God, by the perfection of mine own release of the Power of Love, by the Faithfulness of my heart and my mind to the love of God, by the Compassion of the Mother Love through me upon my duties, my service and my lifting, by my fervor and my Joy, so shall I be aid in the fulfillment of all our so-great desires. I am now Vowed and rededicate and reconsecrate my life anew to be used by my Father. So shall I look up for the strength to fulfill my Vows. Amen.


April 27, 1948

I now arise and go into my Father’s House. I go into the Room of Light that was created in the beginning. I now ascend from the depths of self to become the Servant of All Power. I now ascend from the pit of self to become the Servant of All Light. I am Light. This is my platform, my state of being.

First, praise. Second, lift all individuals and the world. Third, "Let the Power go forth to fulfill, overcome or create." Close with Praise of the Father.


May 3, 1948

1. Have you used sharp reproofs on another? By word, writing or thinking it in your heart?

2. Have you blamed another? If so, you are the guilty one, fully responsible for the whole debt. For, if one sins, all are equally responsible for the debt. If one is blamed, all are equally blamed. All pay the debt.

3. Has anyone spoken in secret about another? If so, all are guilty of equal lack of compassion, of understanding and of love of God.

4. Has anyone justified his own actions? If so, all are equally guilty of excuses made to the self, for the self. There is no prayer of self-justification. It does not ascend.

5. Has anyone doubted the Master? If you have held one doubt against any other, you have held it against him.

If you break one small Law, all are broken. The Lord may not depend upon broken reeds, or on leaking vessels. He may not build upon one who cannot assume full responsibility for all.


May 5, 1948

1. Have you assumed full responsibility one for another?

If one sins, so do all equally share that sin, all are equally diluting Power.

2. Has anyone held blame against another?

All are equally at fault until each one assumes the full Glory of responsibility for lifting.

3. Has one done anything in secret of lack of compassion for another?

One may do so in secret but the debt is paid by all and the sin is grave, for the others know not why they are being chastised, and at times do so blame.

4. Have you loved enough?

Enough love is today’s hours well-filled, this moment and every moment burning with zeal and fervor to release full Power of Love in which is no self.

5. Have you full desire to ascend?


May 13, 1948

The Law of Dalliance

"Putting Off the Overcoming of Self"

To give a full, complete and understandable picture of the "Law of Dalliance," as we must apply it for the overcoming and Ascension of the "self" (subsoul) to the High Place, I use as an example the application of the Law as it was applied to my own "Disobedience of Orders."

Five years ago it was given to me to stop using sugar in my coffee, and it was also given what the results would be, from giving up and overcoming this or any habit, which is injurious to the body, mind or soul, and interferes with the Ascension of the self to the High Place (the high point of full surrender).

During the past five years I have been "going to give it up." In other words, I have been toying with the idea of giving it up. Giving it up a little at a time, putting it off to tomorrow, but tomorrow never comes, meaning I have been dallying with the Law of Giving UP.

So, by not keeping faith with this one request to give up something which would be good for me to do, I am guilty of breaking the "one Law," which then breaks "all Laws." I am guilty then of holding back progress on the lifting and overcoming of the self (subsoul). Therefore, delays are created by individual or collective willfulness in dallying with Orders on giving up self!

The time to give up is now! The way to give up is instant recognition, instant acceptance, instant surrender, instant lifting into the Light, which opens instantly the "payment of debt" and the "becoming of the new."

The Law of Dalliance applies to all details in all things and in all ways, conscious or subconscious. The subconscious is the seat of treachery, which is the dilly-dallier.

The Law of Dalliance is now given so that all can search his or her mind and soul on all details, Orders, whether of "thought," of "action" or of the "spoken word" and give up now the self for the full Ascension of the self (subsoul) unto the High Place (complete surrender) and become the Law. There is only a greased pole between the top and the bottom of the ladder.

"In unity there is strength." "United, we stand, divided, we fall." United in thought, united in action, united on love, united in all things in all ways, then and only then will God fully express Himself through us to bring to pass His Kingdom on Earth.


May 20, 1948

Law on Criticism

1. To criticize another is self-exaltation.

2. When one criticizes another, that other receives promotion under Law – double the equivalent of what one would have received had he "lifted the other." (This is why the "enemy" prospers. "Every kick is a boost." The Law compensates for our criticism.)

3. Continued criticism closes Gates to the one so indulging. Once the Gates are closed, they can be opened only under Law, and this process is a long and tedious way.


June 3, 1948

At good periods where time passes quickly, Light is released and it is so bright that it melts down and cleanses the remnants of one incarnation. Then another incarnation comes and, saints and sinners alike, we are tempted on pride, intolerance, seeking rewards. When we take an Initiation and claim 60 percent success, 40 percent is left.

An "infant" incarnation is sweet and pure. Yet when one comes where bigotry, etc., took place, it comes with the egoic soul who brings all this with it. When this old idea of self comes, it brings all the old debt for payment. It hounds us mentally and physically. This has nothing to do with our goodness. When this comes up, we are united, or we fall into darkness. The only time we know this is in it is when it smells loud enough and we know this is it!

Each day, in every way, lift self into the Light and lift the remnants of all self to come to the light to be dissolved daily. The Power to overcome is given daily. We have surrendered the self of today, this incarnation’s conscious self. However, the Power is greater than ever and it’s going to make us pestiferously super selfish. Then lifting more greatly than before is necessary. We feel our lowest point is greater during Easter and Ascension Thursday. More self-pity.

When you love your enemies, the time comes when they become your footstools. One who is in sympathy with another’s bitterness will sicken of the criticism. Then they can be trained.

Utopia hasn’t worked because it was based on sharing things. All shared the little they had and no one had enough.

There is no limit to the portion of the Holy Ghost that can come to you; the only limit is your lifting. The more Power released through one, the higher one’s destiny, the worse a negative word is. Consequently, the reprimand is greater to the one misusing one word than to another who speaks negatively all day. Play if you must but remember the price. Your price is absolute strict self-discipline. Reach out with your arms and lift any negative slips. The rewards are greater than you can bear.

There must be one person to see total and complete perfection always. You have wavered and wobbled about. What have you gained? You have no past. It is lifted. Declare it. "The past is good, and very good." Hold yourself free from the world so that your spoken word shall stand. From now on, reactions shall come quickly. The reaction shall be pain to the body. Lift it immediately to a cloud.


June 5, 1948

One must make a sacrifice for healing or a miracle for another. Make the other fellow feel big about giving a gift, and prepare the way for him to give! When one is "out of body" due to illness, he could "go out" on another’s point of resentment.

When one sees how little one knows, one makes room for the Almighty. You cannot put self between the covers of a book without practicing the Law you have learned. Your mind is so crammed with the Truth you have learned that you forget the details. Study only the Master’s work and the Laws given now. If you go to another book, you lower your vibration before you have established it unshakably.

Read the Bible, the Prophets, occult work that is thorough is good – Marie Corelli’s works, "Dweller on Two Planets," "The Brother of the Third Degree." The Laws are more important. When an extraneous vibration is brought in, it is too much reading and no study. "The Mental Highway" is abstract logic and reason. For balance, study Boyd’s lessons in the Healing Christ. Use our College literature for study, and use fiction for relaxation.

As you strive, you get results and the little self does not drag you back. It becomes a Joy to conquer because you release self-pity and resentment under the surface. Keep on. Hold. There is no excuse for sinking, and there has never been.

The mode of application of Law is for you to choose, dictatorial or given in love. You can destroy all you have built with but a single "I." It is your sample of where you have gone. All others think they are as good as you, and the lower they know they are on the scale, the more offense they take. Say instead, "It has been given thus. Law demands this or that of us, but God gives us free choice. Choosing the right is wise."

God watches in amazement to see where self can go. The greater the Illumination, the less the nosiness, the slower the finger on the button.


June 10, 1948

Read Chapter 5 of I Thessalonians, paying special attention: This is your Prayer of Faith.

"But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.

For when they say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing. And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, and to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves. Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all. See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil. Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it. Brethren, pray for us. Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss. I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen."

Each day, choose one verse to pray about. So continue until August 10th. By this procedure, you put yourself in line with the Almighty Power of the Prophets. Do not begin, then see how fast you can end!

If you stay on a cloud and keep your fingers out of earth’s pies, the time will come when you will walk through and people will be healed. This cannot grow over night. This does not mean getting smug and virtuous. You must honor that position in dignity and giving Joy and Comprehension for all the world! It is either great enough to work for, or it isn’t.

In this Age, we must be in the world. In the past, priests did this alone, apart. You may feel that you are little, being pushed around, but what does it matter, if you achieve the great thing? It is a dangerous process, and many have lost their bodies in trying to ascend.

A closed crown lotus is like a chimney closed to Santa Claus. When there is a cover on top of the fireplace chimney, there are smudge and filth underneath, and it all smells! When you close the crown lotus, the same thing happens. When you put up your arms and really pray, the crown opens, a suction draft descends that is so powerful, you could destroy yourself. This ritual is so strong that you could not stand the Power that hits your hearts unless your draft damper is open. You create this draft by looking up.

In this life you came to lift all organs, with the desire body as an exact counterpart of the physical. In the mental body there are no organs at all, just whirling centers of Light, lotus centers in the heart of every organ, dozens and dozens of centers where physical organs are. In the Ascension of the body, you are creating organs in the mental body of atomic substance, where the centers of Light are. The fire body has just a glow in the solar plexus, throat, and a star in the head. You breathe the lifesparks into the chakra centers.

When you are in prayer and draw upon the chimney, you draw lifesparks into the mental body, to fill that vacuum for perfection. You draw lifesparks from the outer body into the desire body – physical cells into the desire body molecules, into the mental body atoms, into the fire body electrons. So you draw lifesparks from the physical heart, from the cellular structure of the heart, to create a new desire heart.


June 15, 1948

Keep your eyes on the Light. Nothing can drag you down except earth desires. Edna Miriam knows instantly if a line sags. There can be no slack anywhere.

Sometimes modifying your definition of honor to fit the other fellow’s capacity is necessary.

You are a corporation of Work Unlimited. Service is your key word.

When a baby is angry, you mother it. Treat your loved ones as newborns. "Now look. This is quite enough. Let’s go on amiably." This is all you need to make a stand.

Lifting is the only payment you can make for world debts, and this is your sacrifice. You can make it so easily. Move around the clock, lifting. Begin with hands east and west, and stand on the meridian line. [9:00 to 3:00.] Two hours later, move down into the next sign [10:00 to 4:00]. Lift all karma in that sign, and all those incarnated in that sign. Never descend on what the signs bring. This is universal work. Pray before doing this. Then say, "Fill me with Thy Holy Ghost. Send me forth cleansed and purified, lifted and lifting, crowned, armored and shod with Glory. So let it be with all who pray. Thank You, Father. It is finished. Amen."

As you accept truth and don’t fight anything, the Oversoul awakens. Your Oversoul kneels, conscious before the Thrones. Any slightest "I" of earth can cause it to sleep again. The greatest o’ershadowing is when your Oversoul touches you for an instant.


June 17, 1948

Advice is one thing, but interpretation is another. To apply it wisely is another thing.

The Law is, Ask in my name, believing. Is the Law to apply for one year great enough for the next year? Are one day’s changes in consciousness great enough for tomorrow?


July 1, 1948

If an egoic soul uses the new information coming through with force, it propels back clouds of karma almost more than the egoic soul can bear. If a teacher gives information for self-aggrandizement, he wears out the body and a veil drops. It is one reason that mediums’ bodies grow ugly and heavy and they often go out with heart failure because they are not careful enough about the information they give.

The difficulty with the occult searcher is that he starts to disprove. The basis of relativity is that no matter how straight a line is, it always ends as a circle. When the occult student uses every principle of science, they will balance him.

You inhale the Substance of the Holy Breath with your Name and Number as you look up and inhale. If you send it forth as clouds of black, separated from One into three (Mind, Power and Substance) it collects all like itself and returns as a karmic load. When you get hit or bang yourself, you are taking back the karmic force of the Power you misused.

We will never have complete equality, but all have the equal right to advance. The Mysteries of Heaven are open to all who seek and knock. The Gate is always open to an individual but it may be closed to a Life Wave. It is your privilege to make a sacrifice of self to hold open the Gates for someone to enter.


July 5, 1948

"I put you on an altar" is a mystical expression of "I give you to God." Use this declaration for illness of any kind. Hold your hands out, and palms up. Four Guards are there to lift the desire body three feet above the physical. Light pours into it from on high; then the desire body is healed.

When you lift your hands with your fingers apart, it closes the shutters at the navel chakra. Lift your arms high in a half-circle, palms facing yourself to be a chalice. To release Power, turn palms forward. Hands crossed over your breast denotes invocation of the Master. When you enfold yourself in a pink cloud and zipper yourself up at night it holds in all good vitality.

Love fulfills the Law and takes you through everything.


July 15, 1948

None of us has gone high enough. We must release more Substance of Love. We are unwilling to make a Vow to not look back, but are looking back all day. Letting self dominate soul is stupid.

We have done well, but must do better. Not many are able or willing to stand selflessly. Stand in the highest place. Do not delve into any darkness. Our release of Power determines what we must reap.

You are using the Mind of God when you are up in consciousness and standing in the Light. When you are down, you are of the minds of men, wandering in the vales of illusion.


July 17, 1948

When one has a dual personality, half the egoic soul descends to be with the subsoul and the other half remains with the Oversoul. The more often they descend, the more the egoic soul enters the subsoul opinions and prejudices and all that is negative possesses the individual. Soul substance is destroyed and insanity finally results.


July 26, 1948

Hold your high point, gained through sacrifice of self against all comers, against all darkness, against most of all, self. Beware, one act of selfishness would tear down all you have built to date. Hold, at any price or cost to self.

You have delayed yourself in bondage by self pity under duress. This time you will win. You will conquer self, the whole of it. Pay no attention to others, who are rabid, rebellious people, who do not like seeing you happy. You cannot resign from this position. You must hold it in utter loyalty, and crucifixion of self to the last dying gasp.

You are well able to hold this point. The time for seeing darkness is past. You no longer need to consider darkness except where there is a need to lift it. The Power we release is never to be colored with criticism. Do not allow a prejudice of your own to interfere with the Light to go through.

Carry on with Laws. Carry with your living. No playing with lesser forces. No time for playing with anything than the greatest. Stand and know that all is well.

The only time the Light can use you is when you completely sacrifice self. There is work to be done that has never been done in the past. So you will go forward now, and you will hold the faith. You will do your best as you have.


July 27, 1948

In Cleveland, on the third Monday, Edna Miriam was given the reason why one can see God so much and still walk into a room and find dissonance and a cross-vibration. When a great revelation comes through, it means that Edna Miriam takes back a certain amount of force in some part of her physical body. For example, she slipped on a golf ball in Kentucky years ago. She had a fall in San Francisco in the 30s. She fell on the stairs in Buffalo, which lifted the North Gate. In Cleveland, she slipped on the stairs, cut her knee to the bone and slashed her elbow. She saw a black, funnel-shaped sack above the building, a heavy, shimmering bag of force. It happened July 20, as Power was being released for the political conventions.


July 28, 1948

You have done a magnificent job, but it is not enough! You have no right to entertain personal grief. Do you understand? The Law is to bear and to forbear! This means to stand in love multiplied to an earthly degree, while bearing each other’s burdens. Bearing means to lift the burden of the world. Forbearing means to bear for another. Think of the Power that you can release between now and August 10th!

What uncovers darkness? Light. Pure Light uncovers all darkness and treachery. Do you believe that God is powerful enough to let the greed of materialism destroy itself? Will you stop taking time from God’s work for your petty selves, and get on your course and ride to Glory? Permit not one consideration of darkness. Don’t you think that is a Glory you can well achieve for the Father? Don’t you want to bring Him this gift? Act as if you had it! To be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect is to lift as your only response. Move up!

You say that your Master does not reprimand. Read the 23rd and 24th chapters of Matthew and think again! He is the Begotten Son of God.


July 30, 1948

Figure-eight treatment: Pray first – your prayers should always be a love message to your Father. Think this figure-eight treatment before zipping yourself in Light. Afterward say,

"In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, let my body be a living oblation and sacrifice before the altar. I declare that every force in my body that I have misused is completely sublimated under the kiss of the serpent. (The Kiss of the Serpent burns out the silver cord and it rolls back into the neuronic soul records.) I declare a sublimation in which there is no darkness. I declare that my body will be completely renewed and all centers revitalized. I am the High Priestess of my Temple. Depart from me all ye forces which seek to disturb the harmony of my life. I drop a curtain of light between me and thee. In the name of Love, it is finished."

We have one incarnation in which to scoff, an incarnation to sit and think about it, an incarnation to hear about it, to think about it a good deal, talk about it and force everyone else to become it. Then your path is open to become a seeker after Law with full Illumination, the stage where you say, "What am I doing wrong?" After you have gained it, there is no possibility of denial.


September 6, 1948

Some people say that they have nothing to forgive another for, since they never held anything against them in the first place. Yet they often have not given up their lingering resentment underneath, all of the old stuff is still there, just retiring to await another opportunity to pounce out and destroy. Pray that they "see" that they must sacrifice what they have covered up. They consciously believe that are good. Therefore, there is nothing to lift! Their reasoning.


September 25, 1948

God never lets go, never lets down, always lifts up!


September 26, 1948

We can’t lift anything until it comes out into the open. Then we can lift it up!

The next time someone talks about long another’s prayers last, mention "rationing" God! He releases Power through every word spoken. If our Mind is on the Light, we won’t know outer time! Each is supposed to be looking for an Altar! Trying to "see" and "hear" and not listening to someone’s outer words. Words must bore God! Except that spoken words are the only way He has to release Power to save earth.

We must burn out dross! Not just a mouth-word sacrifice, but a scalding, burning repentance for unwise speech and actions.


September 30, 1948

When you ask "why" about another, or feel self-righteous for being somewhat greater in strength, you immediately place yourself below the one who is guilty of missing the White Point of Heat.

It is a sign of losing sight of the Light when you make critical remarks about another. See to it that you are critical of yourself and lift any other, and hold him blameless before God, lest in judging, you pay his debt.


December 1, 1948

When you dishonor the Father, you have a foggy mentality.

Look up, praise the Father, serve Him through every duty. Accept responsibilities. Don’t give up, no matter how tired you are. That is the "temptation in the wilderness" – to sleep because self wants no responsibilities. You have the choice of being a Creator god or a toadstool. Don’t be a toadstool. Do it – or regress.

You can’t give up your divine heritage. You cannot resign from being an ascending Creator god. Some use up their soul substance through gossip, etc. – and have just enough energy for half the day!

If you can’t sleep – look – give UP completely. Surrender, or there is a kickback. When there is a kickback, you are holding out on the Father. Look for the Gardens or Lake of Purity. "Seek first the kingdom of heaven and all else shall be added." What is all else? It is the desire of your heart.

God releases more Power through your personal Stars than you use. I would like to ask you ‘why’ you are always ‘why’ing? Why does it make you so weary and tired when God is always putting so much Power in your Stars? (Someone said it made mental weariness. She said she was so tired that her tired ached). Is it so wearying?

Releasing Power day by day will make you stronger and more beautiful, not more weak. You can imagine you are weak – flirt and philander with weakness – but you are still growing stronger. Get this for all time – you cannot resign from heaven! You can deliberately let go, retrogress, lose your bodies and someday have a new identity – but you cannot resign from God’s Kingdom. If you are now an ascending Creator god – you cannot lose your soul except through deliberate retrogression. So, why not stop flirting with the idea?

You will never be thoroughly happy in an ascending body until you are lifted physically to the point of Glory! Until you look up and love God enough so the vibrations of your physical body can stand the Power of your own divine Oversoul when it moves in and possesses the vehicle.

Christ is alive. He is in touch with earth. This is his Second Coming. There was no place in Bethlehem. Did it say he would be born again? You are bringing immortality to earth by living it, tying your earth to Heaven.

A Letter About Resenting Being Unjustly Blamed

Someone there has to begin to see them all as perfect. Who?

At present, my own love, the Master’s love is torn down by everyone’s doubts, suspicions, vain repetitions of others darkness. When oh! When? Who, oh! Who? We are going to have perfection in this. If I have to SEE it all above, still we are going to have it.

When anyone misses the mark, grows weary of soul and lets self take over, avoids not the appearance of evil, and in so a thing becomes a stumbling block for another, who is to blame for all results? If you refuse to accept your own debts, I must accept the guilt as more sacrificial delay!

Now we all know that everyone else is doing wrong from the outer! How will God ever get Terra perfect if we pick the pin feathers off again and again and leave everyone raw and bleeding? They are wicked, evil, wrong! SO WHAT? Decide whose side you want to be on and then stick. You can’t speak of others as devils and be perfect yourselves. YOU become what you think, vision, feel about others! This IS LAW. Stop feeling righteous at any time and get to work on becoming all your vows.

Why talk about evil when there is so much of God left unsaid? I’ve had to spend two days lifting the confusion. It is lifted. You are, too. Stay UP. You can’t and still be holding blame against anyone. Only by seeing them all perfect can WE be perfect ourselves. You have been mistreated. You been misused. SO WHAT? What do you want to be famous for? You shall receive all you have coming ten thousandfold. God never takes from. He adds. And so He shall. But you have to give UP wanting, or even caring about anyone to give you understanding. This is your Initiation of full exaltation and YOU are going to make it or you’ll lose all the rest of your pin feathers and I’ll DO the plucking. Get UP and for God’s dear sake, stay UP long enough for US to bring the others out of this evil.

I love you above all love. BE YE Christed Ones NOW. Declare these soul impoverished ones are perfect. They can’t hold you from your own, now or ever. You are free!

Give UP everything that you think you have given UP all over again. Give UP all thought of darkness everywhere. Present a full statement to the whole Group to be read if they like. Make it as impersonal as God is impersonal but with no thought of being perfect. Be un-self-conscious. Do it for God, not to explain or justify or excuse or exalt self. You have done your best. Say so. Plan to do better next time. You are not perfect yet! You shall in doing this pick UP all dropped stitches, tie in all loose ends that now keep you from passing your high Initiations. You shall become all your desires.

Lift this devilish critical attitude that you’ve allowed to take possession of you. As long as you keep going over darkness you’ll be delayed with me! Remember? I have to keep darkness from my Groups. Every time you think of any, I have to pick it UP!

They crucified Jesus. You whine, complain and feel noble when you are crucified. Make a ladder of their acts to reach the Supreme! How do they treat me? Flout the Master’s Orders. Accuse me of making them up! Again I say, SO WHAT? Who can stop the Power when I am totally surrendered to God and declare it GOOD? Who? What if others hate you? They are busy hating me! Do you want to stand beside me, or don’t you? You are, you know.

Must everyone give you credits? Where do you want your credits? Let GO! Lift UP! Stay UP!

You are only as great as your number of hours of seeing the Light! Check on yourself. YOU are free!

I love you with an Almighty Love now and forever. Stand with me and declare perfection in all, through all. Does this all include evil ones? YES. You are my very Beloved, always. You can be all Love to all else.

All my heart. Edna Miriam

Excerpt From a Letter

Do you think God will see me starving? I’m earning mine under delays caused by the darkness of my own people! Not by the world! I can’t lose anything that is mine. God can send me new people to serve. Far be it from me to hold onto my past. I’m earning all our futures NOW! And, I’ve never been SO happy before! I love YOU!

Please, oh! Please we are in the Light, of the Light, for the Light, and how can we be both Light and dark? You have to leave off Light to become critical, suspicious. Just know that everyone else is into lifting his own evil or he isn’t. What can be done when another doesn’t want to lift his? Only Light can aid him. This is once more ABC’s! Why make me spend so much time on it?

This Group is going to stand in Light and that’s that!

I loved your letter. It shows such real growth. I’ve always known that your place was the very hard one to advance through! But to advance under such material conditions is to build as solidly as a rock. This is yours forever. You can’t lose you know, when you bank "with" and "on" God.


December 9, 1948

Each has made sacrifice according to his own ability of desire. Each serves upon that Altar to which his sacrifice of self allows him to be lifted. All have rights to advance.

Some are serving altars of darkness upon earth. Some are ascending to heights above all glory. See to your sacrifices of self to make certain that you do not serve before any altar of darkness.

Are you suspicious of anyone? Are you critical of anyone? Are you in doubt? Have you forsaken your first love for any darkness of the little self? Have you kept High Vows made to sacrifice the little self? Are you in pure Joy? Are you pure Light? Are you pure Love?

Where there is darkness, there is no Light. Where there is suspicion and doubt, there is no Light. One must be Light, or one is dark. Choose now. One choice is not enough. It does not last long. "Choose each day whom thou wilt serve," Light or dark.


December 13, 1948

Let each seek in his heart deeply, lest some forgotten and buried negative thing might limit his own gifts. You will earn that gifting magnificently if you scrape the platter clean. Of what use is it to know Law, unless one cleanses the platter of self.

There is but one Law, the Law of Light. No one is in ignorance of the Law of Light. Light covers darkness always. Light covers the transgressions of all others. Light, being Love, fulfills all the promises.

Do you think a part-time Love of Light shall be adequate in your own day of tribulation? Do you think to escape the Law of Light? No one who has learned that Light is the only Law can cover any thought, word or deed for long. For the just and the unjust, it is now the same. Keep the Light moving forth. Speak no word anytime that you do not desire the world to know. No man or woman, high or low, upon Earth can again hide a whisper. Eventually everyone shall know it, for no one can keep it secret when the Power of Love from above opens it up.

Light is Light forever. This is my Creed: Light uncovers our good. Light gives us legacies beyond our dreams. Light enables us to do double, beyond last year’s effort. God is still there. He is greater than 10,000,000 man-ideas of darkness. God still works everything together for good. I’m still on God’s side. (Where are you?) Love still fulfills all Law! Faith still moves mountains FOR ME! (What about YOU?) God has never failed me. I shall never fail Him. He has delayed things to allow the dead leaves to fall off! To be able to prune away the ones who would cause trouble in our Paradise! Therefore, the sooner we love enough, the sooner all shall be released. Enough Love shall bring to pass all our Dream-Desires and our Promises.

Perfect love casts out not only fear, but all doubts as well in the minds and hearts of everyone.


December 25, 1948

There is no easy way to lift such a heavy share of earth’s darkness as we do it. It is a Via Dolorosa in very truth, though we walk it gallantly, gloriously and gladly! The hurts, the meanness, the darkness is always there. I’ve just had two things in widely spaced Groups that could have torn asunder everything I’ve built for years. I’m on the knees of my heart because the others have held strongly as one.
