Watch faithfully for "details." Seeking advice, as instructed, takes back force and darkness from another time so we can lift all past karma. Step out on faith, by Faith Unconquerable, in the full Faith of God. Move up in love, doing each task each hour in an increasing abundance of Love. Love shall fulfill all Law unto you.

Live valiantly by the Love of God which is Invincible. Live by Love and Strength which is Faith Unconquerable.

Your faith is only as great as the amount of self you have surrendered.

Every time you have a pain, breathe deeply, hold it, let Light move through the painful place and exhale. If you are going to become love, you can never stop loving. If you have a headache, love it. You rebuild the body through love. You heal through love, so you must move upstairs and love from there. You release Power through love. The more self you give up, the more you love, the more faith you have and the more miracles you perform.

Laws do not change. Substance is ever the same and ever-flowing. Power moves forth from the Dawn of Manifestation to the close of a Day of God, when all shall be folded into God once more.

We cannot blast evil from earth until evil opens fire against the Light. It may not be opened by Light. Light must be beneficent and always left to change everything into itself as healing. Only when evil seeks to conquer Light in ruthless ways, declaring itself to annihilation rather than be healed, can Light move forth and absorb evil and send it into the Abyss for its long, long pilgrimage of purification.

When you pray in thorough self-sacrifice, do not ask, Am I doing right? Am I doing wrong? These are statements of the self to the self.

For true Lenten sacrifice, think of Light only. Think of your Guards and Fathers only. Give no thought to self at any time. Be the true and faithful servant of Light. Let the Light be the judge. Let the Light do the thinking and let Love possess you. Then you shall find Power possessing, guiding and directing you.

I’ll never stop until I reach my "Dream Vision," my GOAL for all of US. It is opening up now.

Please think less of the pain. The largest thought behind your healing ideas is that you have pain. You have only perfection of bone, muscles, nerves and bloodstream. If you continue to praise pain, you’ll have more pain. "I am pure Spirit now."

Keep on with your therapy, not for pain but for health. Your mind is creating pain. You are close to God. You are living right. Come on up. You have nothing to do with pain. Let it sing while you stand and declare that Spirit, which earth cannot touch. It is already perfect and so shall manifest now. Your pain idea is part of the old illness idea. When you have forgotten how to use the word pain, Light shall suffuse your own body wholly and your conscious mind is absolutely clear. However, while you keep on carrying out pain ideas, some darkness is still underneath the surface. Cut out all the pain thoughts, even if you had them so bad the doctor had to give you medication. Declare freedom and heavenly perfection. This healing must come from and through your mental life. The subsoul keeps dictating pain until it takes it up, and Will and Desire then create it.

We must often speak to those whose resolve has weakened, persuading them to go through the "Fiery Furnace" again, so that they might hold all gains and make advance of Ascension. If we want to enter the open Gates of Supreme Glory, we must move up in Sacrifice and Rewards greater than we have room to receive. Each day we must advance in use of Love, Joy, Understanding for Ascension.

Therefore, be in an ever greater Sacrifice of self. There are many small selfishnesses still hindering you under the surface. Dig them out, lift them up. Be more giving of love, joy, understanding. Daily we must advance in the use of these for Ascension. Remember to rejoice and be glad hour upon hour, lest you miss the ‘High Mark’ by a hair’s breadth. One Realm gained is but to strengthen you for gaining the next higher Realm. Rejoice – seek for self to sacrifice – Release Power – Love Enough.

We aid the Father to hold earth in balance by our prayers. The Father can set many prophecies aside, allowing only enough to occur to finish all darkness and cleanse earth forever. Disobedience does partially tear down the lines here and there. However, there shall be no complete severing of any established lines. Pray in rejoicing and so release the greatly added Power the Father releases for our service.

Rebuild all molds of your desires clearly and perfectly, for the Substance you release shall return to you to fill them into visibility. Every desire, every dream of love shall be fulfilled unto you. Cherish that which you have unto greater awareness and tenderness. Love one another with an ascending love.

Secret Law of Joy: Serve God. Love man! Be happy and free, yet ever more responsible unto the Father. Law: Honor of God brings honor unto all earth Vows of Love.

Beatitudes are nine different attitudes toward Law, Principle or God. Teachers work to form a balance between the intellectual approach, namely Wisdom, which comes forth to build the form under Divine Principle, and the devotional approach of Love or the Feminine Ray, which nourishes and sustains that which Wisdom or the Father puts into form. The intellectual approach worships God as Principle. The devotional approach worships God as Personality.

We must find a reason for the faith that is in us, a faith that nothing can conquer. Nine of the fifteen Lesser Mysteries are of the Father and six of the Mother. All Creative Mysteries are hidden in the Mysteries of the Mother. You must search for the six that deal with creative abilities on every plane.

You shall fulfill every Law of Life for your earth-mission. You are free! You meet the big tests in joy, in Unconquerable Faith and in delight.

Remember to remain ascended, surrendered to all the Power all the time! Let the Power use YOU! Let the Power DO the whole work! It can, you know. YOU are panoplied in the Power of the Almighty. You are o’ershadowed by the Wings of the Holy Ghost. YOU are upheld by the "Rainbow" Arms of Light.

The "key" through the Initiation of the burning sands of the desert is the "ability to surrender" of course. And you are really surrendering now. Keep this same surrender every hour in all that you DO, in all your ways to be possessed by the Master’s Power completely. We deserve Praise only for "giving up," surrendering.

To release the whole Power we must completely surrender the little self that we tend not to count. You must lift self up in all ways. Hasty darkness in thinking, though immediately lifted, is not good enough. There must be only thoughts of instant GOOD. You have been somewhat slack and indifferent about this – not realizing that there are no small things. Lift each dark thought, then determine to allow no more to use your faculties. This is your decision to make. No more entertaining of any manner of dark – small or large – thoughts, imaginings or petty self-feelings, about the world or another. Great is the reward above for such purified service.

Make a full sacrifice of all self. Your seeing and hearing are limited only by the thin veil of self, which your unfulfilled Vows of Sacrifice leave between earth and the Realms. You can rend this final veil by prayers of Love.

Remember, more purity in Power’s release is always needed. The greater the Power, the greater purity is demanded. Search for hidden self within even your best motives. Make certain no self-delusion remains to spread again in subtle ways.

There are still more tests and trials and temptations ahead, since no one seems able to give up all self at once. Rather, we torture ourselves by hanging onto worn-out ideas, prejudices and opinions which matter neither to God nor to the world, for no one ever misses them when we keep our Silence Golden.

If, with all our stumbling, bumbling lukewarmness we gain such glorious heights of revelation, what will we achieve under full sacrifice? I say to you that we could heal the world of men of honor overnight. I mean the ones who just "know not" and who fumble in their weaknesses, afraid to stand up and do and say the Christ-like things in their hearts. This we can do. It is my firm Conviction and more, my aim!

The time has come for each one to take of his or her share of the "Mantle of Messiahship," placed there by our Lord Jesus, when he said, "All the works I DO and greater shall YE DO."

SO, I say "we shall accept our full Responsibility and go forth to conquer and achieve!"

This is the toughest of all in tests, trials by fire and temptations and there are bloody temptations for the heart does bleed over the pulling out of the roots of self. Until the feet have been washed in the blood of the heart, no student is worthy to ascend.

Each one has won. What is left is for each to decide for herself or himself. If one is satisfied that one is privileged to stand still being good, holding all gains but going no further, the reaction for vowing and deliberately growing selfish and lukewarm is snappier with each degree. No one has gained 100 percent. Therefore, before us lay many lessons still called tests, trials and temptations. Self must move up. We have tortured ourselves by hanging onto worn-out ideas, opinions, prejudices, criticism of others, blame for anyone but ourselves, none of them mattering either to God or to the world of man. When we keep our Golden Silence, accepting all blame for everything touching us, never charging a debt to another, no one ever misses our voice or our words. Think – to have won so much despite all our lacks, our fumbling, stumbling and blundering bumbling around, what shall we do? When? Think of the heights of revelation, the Glory under our full sacrifice. We shall heal the world of men overnight. The ones now living under "honor" but so afraid to speak up for the right. This we can do. This we shall do.

The time has come for each one to put on his or her share of the mantle of Messiahship placed there by our Lord Jesus when he said, "All the works I do and greater shall ye do." So, I say we shall accept our full responsibility and go forth to achieve in his name, forgetting self, pressing on!

Are you pure from idle words, from finding blame in others? The Light does not make you critical. It can only bring up your hidden ruthlessness to show itself to the world as what it is. If you are guilty of speaking it, you shall see in all others what you are expressing from the self and from your soul. Light is Light.

Watch yourself closely that you do not invest your life in others. Let your investiture of others be in universal love, done with abundant abandonment that is a state of being. When you look around and ask how help is being accepted, you are investing your life substance and these people become anchored. This is a lack of full acceptance that Faith is Unconquerable.

The rule shall be: More prayers, thinking only of God, and no thoughts of self. More Prayers of Rejoicing with no thoughts of self. More Faith Unconquerable with no allowance of time, effort, substance or power for the little self.

Your daily life is your Temple and your religion. Who can separate his faith from his actions, or his beliefs from his occupation?

Three Windows of the Soul: WWW, Waiting for the Lord in the High Place, Watching the Light for your answer, and Working to carry it out. You hear, see and execute. You can’t live in the past, you can’t live in the future. You can live only now, which is eternal.

Acceptance relates to the speed in the operation of lifting. Comparison is dangerous, for it produces negativity and self-pity. "I haven’t done well because." Give up the "because." When you see negativity in a person, you fail to accept Christ as your model.

Criticism is a contraction of consciousness. Moving up in love expands consciousness. When you descend in consciousness and criticize, you pay the other fellow’s debts. The whole nation is paying McCarthy’s debts. Everyone is being used for a purpose. Have just as much compassion for the healthy big shot as for one who has trouble.

Get ready for the competition of joining the race with the best and strongest. Fear of competition is self. Competition is good when you ascend to God. Acceptance means that you recognize that you are bathed in the River of Life. No matter what the circumstance, it is your choice to accept the wealth of God’s substance by opening your door wide, just a crack or closing it out. Accept your full responsibility as an heir of God. Do you want to be a 24-hour-a-day ascending Creator god, eight hours or what?

As we grow in Grace (meaning that our vibration is raised), as we understand more about God, our Supreme Creator and about His universes (we call it Ascension), we actually raise the vibration of the cells of our physical bodies. We really own seven bodies right now, and we live in them all the time.

The outer body is composed of cells and molecules. Inside the molecules are the atoms. Inside them are the electrons. In this occult work we use these terms for them: Cells form the outer physical body. Molecules compose the desire body, the seat of emotions and desire and the chakra centers. Atoms, which compose the mental body, are used for thought inside the brain cells, the seat of the lotus centers. Electrons compose the fire body or what we call the vehicle of the soul – you!

When we go through a new initiation, which is only leaving more of the little self behind forever, we actually change bodies. Every time we express a Godlike quality of soul instead of a self-desire, a bit of the outer oily substance falls off and we draw the lifesparks into the next higher body. So, from the atomic mental body a few lifesparks are indrawn and incorporated into the soul itself, a few from the molecular desire body are indrawn into the mental body and best of all, a few from the organs of the physical body are indrawn to the desire body.

Now nothing peculiar or weird happens to the physical body or its appearance. It looks just the same but as this process of Ascension goes on, one day we are walking around in a beautiful light, glorious higher vibrating body which is forever after immune to all physical diseases. Isn’t this wonderful?

I love my Father so much because He has planned it this way. You needed a new heart, so you are put where you can be quiet enough to let them build it over, no another physical one but by in-drawing sparks of life, making the new outer heart really into the substance of the desire body.

This is what our Master Jesus did for thirty years, so that he was already living in a mental body of atomic substance when they crucified him. The only thing they had to do was to drain the bloodstream and the soul of him could call the atomic-electronic substance left in form to be enfolded into his fire body by raising the vibration.

Now, make no mistake. You are not taking off for 100 years. You have too much to do. But you could have been very ill with something worse. God has His arms around you and His protection is sure. Your whole physical body is being raised in vibration while you are still. And you can, by obedience to Law, all you know, one day live in your desire body or if you choose the King’s Laws, you can ascend here in the flesh until your body is a mental body. Think of it. All these billions of atoms inside the physical shell waiting to be "charged" with celestial atomic power. What a storage battery of strength you can become.

We use Mind as thinking, and when it is negative, we separate Power and Substance. When one explodes in anger, the Fathers use this point of force to absorb darkness. The point strikes and you lift the rest. The heat of the Love of God explodes evil!

If we don’t have a miracle, it means we don’t believe we will! A miracle builds up faith and as it builds, the miracles come.

If we could see the gibbering creations made of people’s words, we would behave. When it all hits at once for us to draw it up, we whirl and call it "nerves."

Criticism adulterates the Love of God. To give u p self, to look into the face of death and say, "You are good and you are life," you must be positive. It is good as far as it has come. It just needs to be gooder! "Father, it was failure on my part, and I assume the blame. I ask for a blessing on this venture, and make it blessed."

Love enough fulfills the Law. We cannot fail if we are selfless. We must give up self. There is no loss, only gain! We cannot love enough. There is no separation in God. There is only the Power of God. We must zip ourselves up in Light.

You are building well, and strong. At night, see the place to build on the morrow. See each whirling as a center of Light. Enfold all in whirling mists of glory. In the morning, cast an eye over things and see that they are whirling centers of Light. Form a Sphere of Light about your loved ones and those with whom you work, for angelic hosts to move forward in Laws of Glory and move out the unchangeable and unconquered, and to replace anyone who has left.

Declare all things good! Each thing of earth is becoming good to dig evil out if its cellar. It is good and very good. Stand steadfast in release of Power. No line of Light the Elect have been given, and hold up, can be broken!

I now rise up to my beloved Father Supreme through His Son, my Lord, to remain one with my Begotten Father forever and forever! I am free! All thoughts of the physical body are subconscious dictatorship! All thoughts of limitation are the subconscious trying to control! All lack of planning is subconscious! All disobedience to Law is the "traitor within the gates" trying to take over. All stepping aside and disobedience to Neophyte Laws, and Laws of body-building are giving in to subconscious mind.

Speak the word for creation, for prosperity, for health, for eyes and for specific things. Expect plenty! See it. Make all positive statements for it. Approach it with a wash tub, not a tin cup. For prosperity, make the declaration and believe that you have it. Act as if. Sweetly, firmly and finally discipline self. Pray and make treatments in the Silence. We have so much of our spiritual and mental lives to cleanse. Keep the lines in your hands.

Dr. Thomas P. Boyd’s statement, "God is formless," began Edna Miriam in her search of the realms. She knew that God had to be able to assume form to have Personality and Wisdom.

One comes closer to God and stands in the center of the Light. It looks flat and slopes down on all sides. Never let anything unbalance you. Stand and wait until the situation rights itself. Those who can ascend must ascend. It takes faithfulness. You dare not sink back. Declare all good because God makes it and them good.

Half of us remains "over there" always. Every time we gain something here, we become more awake over there. No matter what, it is good. "I declare all my creations good. I declare everything I touch is good. I declare everything good."

The feminine must guard the masculine. The masculine must protect the feminine. Dwell upon the beauties, not upon the confusions. Any word could shake the body. You have made a newborn creation with your Oversouls, now become more intimate with it.

Happiness is such a wonderful thing. Joyousness adds to it. Seek to be in joy always, an active joy! Shout, "I rejoice" in the bathroom when turning on the water. Each of you has full power and a growing desire to ratify your Vows.

The exaltation of the Elect is inevitable. Some will have deep regrets that they did not stand steadfast in the heat of the day. God exalts those who have stood. Let your own Oversouls release Power that sends you forth to overcome and conquer self. Your Great Guards are with you. Nothing can resist the Power of Love.

God needs our prayers of lifting. We have had delays. Those who complain the loudest are those who have added the least to the pool of Power to bring the good to pass. Edna Miriam is still looking for twenty-four who will pray day and night while expressing no negativity and seeing no darkness!

It is all a matter of mind and heart. Power is released for anything possible and powerful. The strength of physical bodies is given, it inflates the atoms; it hurts and you back off. This creates delays. Ask, ascend and take it!

We laid aside our pearls of Wisdom on the way down into involution, and our tears created earth’s "mud." Now we are ascending on evolution, and wonder "why" we must filthy ourselves in the mud, which is only to pick up our precious pearls. Look at each person as though he has a gift to give you.

Genesis says that the Lord walks in the garden in the "cool of the day," which is our proof that the Father walks on earth. An Oracle’s faculties are not built in one lifetime, though they may be lost in only one.

Those using the Faith of God and the Love of God only, without selfish interpretations, have sent forth enough invisible Light and Power of God to create into outer visibility that which must appear. Those who have elected to stand and demonstrate over physical needs (Edna Miriam has not so done), are having difficulties. They have not released enough Power to make the demonstration 100 percent! Their prayers give only 20 percent of a demonstration. Then they have recourse to doctors and physicians. To the one who comes back fully and asks his brothers to add their prayers to his, to him there can be a miraculous healing. A thousand or a hundred thousand together is better to pray for one than for any to pray alone to demonstrate. Being unwilling to share with another is selfish. It is putting oneself on a material level with the Publicans, who have no reward for their demonstrations. They want all the outer credits, but have no healing.

There are certain places where no evil can exist. If individuals insist on making them evil, they will fall because of the low vibration. When priests of a temple use the devotional substance of their people to gain more power, the pillars of the temple will fall in, because they pull them down! Dictators who try to scare the common people only force those people closer to God and greater faith, as they expose themselves to Light.

We establish lines of Light to all places of subversive manifestation and on wrong uses, and focus it where it is needed. Power-Light expresses through you, and it returns, redoubled, as all "added things" and miracles. If you would have it thus, then do not say, "I accomplished this," but "The Father has used me." This is a greater expression because it sends back instantly, in one great Light, the equivalent of all your past prayer power and the Light you have sent forth. Declare it "good," and it comes rolling back as compound interest accrued to you. Law is inevitable in its action, and is under the control of one who says, "Not I, but the Father, His Light goes forth to do the work. In that Light is His greatness performed through me. Your Power, which I call through me is thoroughly inevitable and irresistible in its power to increase." So it is.

To be an ensample of the Living God, hold fast to that which you have gained. Let no negative best you. Let no negative cling to you. The only way you can keep negatives away is to declare the Light. You can create anything you can imagine in the invisible to protect yourself, your house, your loves ones and the world. When you declare that the Living God is impregnating the houses of evil, you are declaring good upon earth. Good shall prevail, and evil shall fall from the planet, divine in the beginning, and ending divine.

Those who must see to believe shall see, but they shall award no credits in Heaven for them. With sharp knives God trims the trees of laggards, doubters and disbelievers. Your Tree of Life shall bear much after the blossoming and fruiting of your faith and love during the whole year. Each month shall be a glorious success, and each month an Ascension.

Forever is a flexible term that includes the duration of your current experience. Forever can be an hour, a day or however long it takes.

A Master Adept can heal only Sons and Daughters of Man. Such Adepts are ascending to be endowed with the Living Soul. Christed consciousness is moving into Master Adepts to heal the Children of Men. The Elect can be healed, but only if they hold to their high state from the time of the healing. The process of Ascension for the Elect is to hold the high point; if they lose it, the illness comes back. To become a Creator, you must hold healing. Edna Miriam has few followers because she teaches the Path of Ascension and self-healing, which is pulling the soul from the quicksands of self.

As you ascend in consciousness, you slough physical lifesparks that are indrawn, and you become wealthy, healthy and joyous. God is only 35. How happy are you? Are you satisfied? The world is hungry, looking for proof of the Glory of God. The rabbis, priests and ministers are but human.

Does it not seem silly to become involved in earth matters that pass away? Hurts – no one can hold a soaring soul while dwelling on emotional hurts. The higher you soar, the more evil comes before you because you stir up the murk with Light. Rejoice that it is lifted!

The world is seeking an ideal of womanhood. Saintly men are not an enticement.

To relieve tension, let go of the voluntary muscles. "I, the ego, have control over them and they cannot be touched involuntarily. I now assume control of my voluntary nerves and muscles." Say "Father, move in with your quiet strength, calmness, serenity, poise and divine smoothness of Power. Take over every nerve and muscle of my body."

Lord, give me faith and confidence and please, a twinkle in my eye. And every morning I will say, "There’s something happy on the way and God sends love to me." I know I have Light enough for the next step, which is all I can use at that moment. This is my day of fulfilled completed miracles. Principle is the absolute, universal, unchangeable, inevitable, immutable foundation upon which all universes are based and established. Use Logic, Reason, Discretion, Discrimination and Discernment.

God does not make a disintegrator like Senator Joe McCarthy, but He uses them for good. The Father uses everyone who curses to raise evil from earth. Like attracts like, so even the Communists, who curse our government, are in turn used to lift darkness from earth.

If twenty-four would pray daily for two years, war and violence would end. Such prayer means giving up all self. The indifference of the world’s "good" people releases more darkness than anything else. The prayers of the millions lighten earth like helium gas. Prayer produces Light; Light raises the planet. Our prayers ascend and they lighten earth. The higher earth rises, the more we see. We release greater Power now than in Jesus’ time. "Greater works than these shall you do."

Our Bible is the spiritual revelation of Light. The pyramid is the measured revelation of Light. Metaphysics deals with primary Laws and Principles restated for lesser daily use. Adepts believe that God created Laws to be used. We believe that God created us for Law to use.

Declare all good and very good, even before you seek the Kingdom of Heaven. We cannot cleanse evil until Light releases it from the very rocks.

The end of fear is the beginning of Wisdom. Fear and Wisdom are like twins, dark and light. The Light from above is causing invisible substance in the sky to become visible material substance. They are explained in the papers as vapor trails, but they are instruments of form upon which Light moves forth.

The 7th Vial of Wrath has been poured out to atone for misusing Law, and it is returning as spiritual debt throughout the world.

Discretion, Discrimination and Discernment move into action as evil approaches. If you have consecrated yourself to service and desire to do something about a situation, you may find yourself saying something to someone suddenly. This is how the Light puts in a wedge. Then you ascend on it and declare it good instantly, though it seems fuzzy at the time. Resist the subsoul’s urge to provide a personal rationalization.

I would urge you to be steadfast in seeking to overcome self. It is a joy once you decide not to be hurt, not to demand credits for selfless service, but to take your credits in Heaven as seeing and hearing. You can do this. For a heroic soul, it takes a heroic struggle to overcome the taints of self, of the earth.

The "wrath of God" is karma. You can recognize "evil" as darkness. You need not see it, just feel it coming. Immediately say, "Take this, Father," for protection. Lift the source of evil when you feel it, before you see it. Opinions and prejudices are the "stinkers" of this Age, and we flare up because of them. Yesterday’s ideals and visions become today’s opinions and prejudices, unless we add tomorrow’s ideals and visions to today. The minute ideals and visions crystallize, they become opinions and prejudices.

The twelve centers are over the physical glands and plexus centers. The chakras of the molecular desire body look like spinning wheels. Some have three colors, or reactions, some have five. They overlay the seven centers, represented by the seven churches. The atomic mental body has 44 lotus centers. Only those who understand and practice in-drawing the lifesparks can you build the fire body, which the Oversoul moves into and purifies. The only way to form the sun centers is to give up self. You may not poison the fire body, even a tiny bit. Law won’t allow you to make it gray. You go through the Gates, or not.

Truth is something you have to accept and become. You don’t "try" to become it. You become the Law right now! It’s like being on the Mount of Transfiguration. You can’t beg it, buy it or borrow it. You must become it.

Other metaphysicians have always said that Edna Miriam gave too much in her lectures, while they saved it up for more classes. Edna Miriam always knew that every time she emptied her pitcher on her feet that more would be added.

Edna Miriam’s choice has always been for the inner. She came to earth with no consciousness of her soul records, where she came from or why she was here. This has always been the challenge of evil: The one who comes must know nothing, heavenly contact must be cut off completely. Yet we must still prove that we could return to Heaven and come back to earth.

Although Edna Miriam did not know this, a line of Light was always moving up before her, and she followed it to the Throne. She always saw it, and she could climb. She saw cities but didn’t know where they were. Finally she climbed to the Throne of the Mercy Seat. "I knew that when that line stopped, I would be at my Source."

At age twelve she knew that "greater works than these shall ye do" means Transfiguration. The body has to be ascended, for Gethsemane, Crucifixion, Resurrection and Ascension still lie ahead. Churches talk about "taking up the cross." Metaphysicians talk about Resurrection. Jesus said that Ascension is the necessity, but people expect to do the greater works without ascending the body.

December 5, 1925, Edna Miriam decided she would believe nothing but what came from the Master’s lips. Since then, Edna Miriam has touched nothing but Ascension. Edna Miriam started campaigning with Dr. Boyd January 9, 1927, and has never stopped submitting to inner initiation since. Edna Miriam could always "see," and knew she was working at night. At age twelve she accepted Jesus the Christ as her own Lord, and no other. She knew her only protection would be to climb under his robe.

In 1922, Edna Miriam worked with seven girls selling stockings in the shoe department at the White House department store in San Francisco. They pulled orders and restocked for twenty-two salesmen, and within two hours the department was a mass of confusion. The assistant manager ran through six girls in three months because the work was so tough. She made two cents on a dollar sale, and took home checks for $159.00. After seven months of this, she knew she had completed her training in alertness, acceptance and obedience, and said "I can fold more stockings than they can dump on me." That was the training she has applied with every troublemaker: She decided she could button her lip, say nothing and outlast twenty-two of them! She said, "Do your worst, and Love wins." Edna Miriam knew no one could do anything that she couldn’t out-wait, out-love or undo.

In October 1936, Edna Miriam prayed, "Please Father, open the Gates through someone else. If no one else comes along, I will do it." The Gates were opened for her because she obeyed and began to see and knew "under Orders" that she had climbed. Edna Miriam prayed and sacrificed and with each of her experiences, she was enticed to remain, but she had become accustomed to ascending in the Light.

You cannot be sharp spoken or out of order. You cannot then say "I" this or that, to make you more effective. You are not it, but God is the Power.

Yesterday’s ideal becomes today’s opinions and prejudices unless you reach out and add tomorrow’s new ideals to today. Unless you walk softly and speak gently in business, you give offense on the right and left. Then others put up barriers to prevent you from progressing.

The masses who have followed evil now fill prisons and asylums. "The least in the kingdom" has misused Law so much that they have little or no mind left.

The trick of successful living is to live by love and not the lower emotions. It is a matter of personal choice. Give up self. Fulfill all Law in the Light. Trust in the Light. Ignore the darkness of the world. Declare for good. Depend upon God.

It is better to see a little and interpret wisely. You have experienced a cross-vibration of criticism and condemnation. When you feel it coming, lift it and declare it good. Stand. Such people will always be coming in. Speak and stand and lift. Use the Faith and the Love of God, and use enough of both, enough of both.

After you grasp the first idea, stand by and wait for Orders. Don’t rush out and look for the change, or you cut the Vibration. A minister cannot speak, act or do anything they wouldn’t do on a pulpit when preaching.

Edna Miriam told about a Catholic woman whose husband spit on a crucifix and her. Edna Miriam had her go to the church and light twelve candles to the Saints, then kneel at the chancel rail and pray only to Jesus, believing the twelve Saints were praying with her. Edna Miriam said, "He’ll run out of spit before you run out of prayers!" The miracle followed.

A real capitalist puts his own money into something for income, but financiers finagle our money. We must have justice for working-class people but whether he is a minimum wage worker or an executive, he shall get what he is worth.

When you complete the first 144 steps of Ascension, you meet an angel with a flaming sword. You can go no further if you have felt cheated. Those who have tried to kill desire are frozen and so must return to earth.

Speak the word and the Father does the work. We never speak negative thoughts, only positive knowing and declaring. Be steadfast, agree with your adversaries, and call all good. Don’t leave one opening or the magnetic wall of Light won’t hold.

Edna Miriam heard a speaker Sunday who spoke on fear. She says karmic fear is rising in the world for lifting.

Go to sleep with atomic substance moving through and sizzling. It will renew your body whether you have a few or many hours sleep. Set your subconscious to breathe atomic substance while you sleep.

Put a two-foot thick door of Light in the doorway for protection. Put crosses of Light on the doors and windows, inside and out. Put a line of fire all around the room or building and declare it consuming walls of fire. Make the windows pure Light. Put a ball of fire over the locks.

To extend your vision above, think of something and extend your vision up to it. You do something by moving up. It is a mental arrangement, a point of seeing with the all-seeing eye, the imaginative faculty. We can turn the imagination faculty down or up. You waste 90 percent of the energy you create in your body by using the imaginative faculty for silly things. When you extend your imaginative faculty for good, you can accomplish anything. Read "The Art of Thinking," which is about abstract or picture thinking. You harness imagination and build a picture of what you plan. This is what must be done to see beyond the veil. For true vision, turn your camera up.

Pray yourself into the Golden Silence. The length of time it takes you is according to the degree of your burning desire. Seeing and hearing is a matter of practice. How far does your vision extend? With extended vision you move into some spaceless, timeless dimension. You have no sense of space or of time passing, you are there. You must rise and not be earth-bound. Focus your eyes on the Light. The less self-conscious you are, the farther you can see. You get tangled in phenomena when you listen for something.

1. What is love? Self-love or soul-love? 2. Where do you find love? 3. How does it work? 4. Why do you need love? The key is the difference between self-love and soul-love. God dared to send forth His Son because He knew He could draw him back. That he would be whole and complete again when the Day of Manifestation was over. He dared to send us forth with free will because God always had control. When you stand in Unquenchable Love and Unconquerable Faith of God, you always have control. Yet if you use Power, which is using force, you could wither the fig tree. Say, "Here I am Father. Let Power go forth," then stand. First you visualize what must be perfect. Let perfection do the work. Your mind would only cloud the perfect outcome.

Forgiveness has three steps: 1. I forgive, which is a self-love. 2. Father, forgive them. 3. Father, forgive me.

Success consists of continuity in expression. Our highest points of glory come from transmuted weaknesses. Production is what we are. Distribution is what we do. "I am equipped to create. I am equipped to conquer."

We dare not make demands of another. Even in training children we pay a debt on a demand. Law works inevitably to build situations of experience in which we may learn our lessons and pay our debts with interest when we dare make demands upon another. This happens whether the other fellow knows it or not. Pride is the cause.

Mothers must train their children. When we train the world also, they will dig this from their own hearts. We have hereditary characteristics in the two cells of life. When we pass them on, it is our debt in training that child. In sacrificing and love, we pay or cover the child’s present debt. They always pay surplus credits to the mother and store them in a special place for the children, if the mother does not ask for the special credits from the children. Those credits form arms of Light that reach down to protect the child when it goes into the world.

Anything we lift to be healed is a sight draft on Power. The woman felt Jesus’ Power, knew it would heal her and touched his robe. He felt the shock as the Power moved through and said, "I feel the virtue has left me." Jesus did not destroy the fig tree because it was fertile, but because it was barren. He said "get thee behind me, Satan," not because he wanted to be rid of darkness, but because he knew you can let it push you into the Light.

Just because your families grow ears like a donkey, you need not grow the tail.

The first conscious memory is just a beginning in a self-analysis. If you are really honest, you will dig out the cause.

The lightest word we speak has more Power than ten years’ worth of words or our prayers twenty years ago. The same Power goes through if the words are gray or black. The main thing is to face you. Ask yourself where you are going. What is your goal? Your flame of desire is your future resource. You are a producer, distributor and sales agent. Production is what you are. Distribution is what you do.

I AM is the perfect goal. I AM is perfect enough to reach any goal. You cannot straddle the abyss. Decide which of you is going, I AM or little me. They stuff us with Law like turkeys. Now it is time to digest and manifest them. It is a matter of facing self in the mirror, not kidding yourself when you say I did or said it because I was not myself. You lie. You were your little self. True, you were not I AM.

You can break anyone of the habit of fury with just a look. See the furious one as a rare animal during fury and just look, lift and look. Ask for the flames of the Holy Ghost to descend and possess you. Like a jelly fish with just two brain cells, you can be resentful but lifting just one brain cell can conquer.

What does "God first" mean? It is constant awareness of God’s presence. Love God first. Declaring it good is enough. Seek God’s approval. Throw your arms up and say, "I AM Joy." Who is going to write your letter, I AM, or little me? Who is going to answer the door or the telephone? Who is getting out of bed this morning? Decide just before going to sleep about who is running your life. You had better say "I accept" before you answer "I AM." This is a recipe for I AM ascending you. Joy is a Power vibration upon which Love moves to create.

Personal habits are all right if they are wise for you and do not interfere with anyone else.

"I am expecting $1,000 bills from God knows where. Every cent I pay out is the beginning of my next $1,000."

A man’s home is his castle. The world honors and respects this right and treats a man with respect and dignity in his castle. Even when a man has broken the Law, the Law itself knocks on the door of his castle. Anyone who disregards Law dishonors God, is playing with God, breaking the Law and is arrogant. Only Light lifts, heals and closes out darkness. When someone pays you a compliment, say, "Father, give the giver double."

Stop withholding. There is that which withholds unto poverty, and that which gives unto wealth.

Put anything incomplete on the Altar at night. Go over the past day’s work, lifting everything undone. This gives you the energy to keep going. Stand in the Heart of Fire, looking into His eyes and releasing Power.
