As I See God

June 1, 1958

II Samuel 22:29-33, Philippians 4:19 & I John 1:1-10

You are my lamp, O Lord. The Lord shall enlighten my darkness. For by You I can run against a troop, by my God I can leap over a wall. As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is proven. He is a shield to all who trust in Him. For who is God, except the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God? God is my strength and power and He makes my way perfect.
II Samuel 22:29-33

God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of Life – the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us – that which we have seen and heard, we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. And these things we write to you that your joy may be full. This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is Light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the Light, as He is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.
I John 1:1-10

I John 1 reveals a formula for clarity of Imagination. Our life results depend on how we use our divine faculty of Imagination, which sets the keynote of our emotional life. Running wild and uncontrolled, Imagination can be devastating, for it may become a source of secret fear, dread and doubt. Imagination controlled, directed and turned upward as Vision, draws everything else with it. That is the Law.

How we use Imagination is a matter of choice. We may not use Power but we are free to use Imagination as much as we desire. Imagination is a creative faculty we are meant to use. Uncontrolled Imagination can build ugly pictures, but we can control Imagination to build beautiful pictures. Miracles result when we move out of the way and pray.

We must differentiate between Godlike, God-wise analysis and human rationalization to control imagination. Analysis means to undo or to loosen, to resolve something complex into its simple elements. Rationalization is applying the faculty of Reason to physical laws to understand information about people or situations. Criticism and condemnation are the greatest corrupting factors in rationalization, which focuses on pride, self-pity, and imagines "enemies" to blame, criticize and condemn. Most people call their rationalization analysis, but analysis imagines no dark emotions or suspicion. Awareness of God and high religious ideals recede to a pinpoint under rationalization, leaving only the negatives of old ideas. New ideas from the River of Life are left for someone else to imagine, act on and take credit for doing.

All ideas start bare, like the branches of a tree in winter. Increasing light causes the sap to rise and nourish the buds hidden in the tree, seen only in Imagination. Agents of Light are out there, waiting to help us bring our ideas to pass. Our ideas will open over night, like buds on a maple tree when enough Light as the life of God fills us. Attend to this one factor in controlling and directing Imagination, study and ponder it. Make sure you use pure analysis, undiluted with self. Criticism and condemnation are the offspring of rationalization. Listen to how others "analyze" people or events, and you’ll see how many rationalize from a very human viewpoint.

"God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory." First we see God as the Source of all supply, we conform to Law at every level, and finally we perform as Creators, using Imagination as Vision. Now, each must work out his own salvation. We don’t "tempt the Lord" by resting in Imagination or expecting God to take care of our conformance and performance for us. Two halves make up the proposition of working out our salvation. No one can get anywhere without working to attain his goal. So, we must accept the fact that we must do our share of the job, which includes plenty of good, old fashioned hard work, then open the way for God to supply our needs.

How do you see God? How great an inheritance do you envision He has waiting for you? How great is He as your Source of supply? Do you want to "make do" with an earth pension? The degree of riches you inherit will follow the breadth of your Vision of God’s Glory. See Him as your fabulously rich Father, ready to lavish the bounty of His kingdom upon you. All is of God, for God is all. Everything you handle, monumental or insignificant, is part of God. Our feet represent understanding. Do yours have corns and bunions? Treat your spiritual corns by believing in God’s pattern for perfect understanding.

Science has reported countless miracles of restored function for eyes, ears, hearts and limbs. Growths have disappeared because those who wanted the miracles had the Vision to see themselves as perfect. All you do is pray that the desire body becomes visible. John said, "God will light your way." Step into the Light and leave the stumbling blocks behind. Imagination concocts them, so stop dragging them with you. Where is your loyalty centered? God must be first. You need not sit in the mud with old friends. Love them and let them stay where they are while you ascend.

Righteousness is application of our highest Vision. Unrighteousness, which is the real enemy, lets Imagination run wild to build deceptive pictures and betray us. Confess your error in direction. Admit you’ve been in the dark, and just step into the Light as you would enter a room. What will I do first with my new Vision? What have I done about my unborn miracles? Do I starve or nourish my miracles? You really "boil" your miracles if delay peeves you. God’s Love, Substance, Power and Light fill our molds when we lift them for Substance to fill. Divine Mind is the incubator of miracles. Hold to your Vision and it will grow. Nourish your miracles to keep them abounding.

Love your enemies and neighbors. People say, "I gave him a piece of my mind," which is literally true. You divide, scatter and give your lifesparks away when you cast your thoughts or tongue on another, and "freeze" your crystallized lifesparks to them. Say, "Let Light dissolve this. Let my lifesparks return to my body" if you leave your body at night and return in the morning worse than before. Be sure to follow your request with "This is good."

"You are my lamp, O Lord. The Lord shall enlighten my darkness." Accept the lamp of Law and ascend to let Light finish the job. "For by You I can run against a troop, by my God I can leap over a wall." We all walk through troops of evil and come out safely on the other side. "As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is proven. He is a shield to all who trust in Him. For who is God, except the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God? God is my strength and power and He makes my way perfect."

Picture your home as a radiant sun center of lifesparks whirling clockwise, and God will heal everyone who touches your door. See each person as encased in a Sphere of Light. See God as your life. Walk with Him until your feet grow wings. Just walk up to Him and lift your hands. He is your Father who pours love upon you. See God as glad to serve you according to your soul’s Imagination.

Be obedient, accept Light as your glory, and let it do the work because you see God as He is.

As God Sees Me

June 8, 1958 outline

Hebrews 5, John 14:12-14, II Corinthians 6:16
II Corinthians 3:18 & I Peter 4:10-11

Every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. He can have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also subject to weakness. And no man takes this honor to himself but he who is called by God, just as Aaron was. So also Christ did not glorify himself to become High Priest but it was He who said to him, "You are my Son, today have I begotten you." As He also says in another place, "You are a priest forever according to the Order of Melchizedek." Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong cries and tears to Him who was able to save him from death and was heard because of his godly fear, though he was a Son, yet he learned obedience by the things which he suffered. And having been perfected, he became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him, called by God as High Priest according the Order of Melchizedek, of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing you are dull of hearing. Though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not strong meat. For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. Strong meat belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Hebrews 5

Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in me, the works that I do he will do also, and greater works than these will he do, because I go to my Father. And whatever you ask in my name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.
John 14:12-14

What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God; as God has said, "I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people."
II Corinthians 6:16

We all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
II Corinthians 3:18

As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies.
I Peter 4:10-11

Science has revolutionized our world: Steamships, railroads, buses, cars, airplanes. From doing our laundry on rock in the stream, we’ve moved through scrubbing boards and hand-wringers to electric washers and spin-dryers. We’ve moved from spring-houses and wells with buckets to refrigerators, deep freezers and running water. Yet humanity still repudiates the Light, repudiates responsibility, refuses to be his brother’s keeper! In all this, man denies God.

This chapter of Hebrews is unusual in that it mentions the "Order of Melchizedek." Who was, or is, Melchizedek? The first three verses of Hebrews 7 says, "For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all, first being translated ‘king of righteousness,’ and then also King of Salem, meaning ‘king of peace,’ without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life but made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually." He is the form taken on by the Supreme Father when He walk earth, which is His Domain. His form is like the Son of God.

How can we find out how God sees us? "For God so loved the world." God must have loved us, we who are His Creations, and He must love us still, despite our creations!

This chapter tells us how we should look to God. Every high priest is "ordained for men," and is supposed to offer sacrifices for self, and for others. He does not honor himself. God honored Jesus by appointing him to the Order of Melchizedek. He earned this appointment by his obedience.

Peter’s Letter says that everyone has received a gift, the gift of Love. We are supposed to minister to each another from our gift as good stewards, and to speak as an oracle, to glorify God. These are the "first principles of the oracles of God."

An oracle is a mysterious advisor, an infallible guide who speaks by divine inspiration or revelation. In ancient days, an oracle spoke from the veiled Mercy Seat in the Holy of Holies among the Israelites. Oracles spoke from behind a pillar or though an image in the sanctuaries at Eleusis and Dodona in Greece.

An oracle can’t live on "milk," which is too weak, but needs "strong meat." Verse fourteen says, "Strong meat belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil." The "senses" refer to mental faculties, such as Logic, Reason, Discrimination, Discretion and Discernment. This is how we become "good stewards of the manifold grace of God."

God sees us through three great stages of Ascension. First is the Son of Man, the "seeking" stage, where we ask, seek and knock, which gains us: "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in me, the works that I do he will do also, and greater works than these will he do, because I go to my Father. And whatever you ask in my name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in my name, I will do it." This is the stage of Rebirth.

Second is the Son of God stage. "You are the temple of the living God; as God has said, ‘I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.’" This is the stage of Resurrection of the old.

Third is the Creator stage of Ascension. "Beloved, now are we children of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be." In this stage, we are becoming.

Everyone receives the gift. Peter’s Letter says, "If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies." Yet we must decide whether our ministry is God and us, or God as us. We are to be "good stewards" of our gift, and the Letter to Hebrews adds that we must "offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins" and "have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also subject to weakness."

Here we learn something: Nonresistance is "forgiveness in action." The instant this Power of Nonresistance flows through us, we feel nonresistant. We can’t be bothered to find faults or become irritated. When the great Law of Nonresistance goes into action, forgiveness takes over. Forgiveness is to "give for," and we give our gift of Love. Love forgives! Pride can’t "forget," but holds onto resentment.

Love, flowing forth under the Principle of Nonresistance, sweeps all before it, melts ice, dissolves lumps, absorbs darkness, bends swords into circles, and turns bullets aside. Nothing is left but Love. Nonresistance is born of Love enough.

We must put God first, until we know that God is with us! "I will dwell in them, and walk in them. I will be their God, and they shall be my people" means God walks as us!

Take stock tonight and every night. Do I forgive? Is Love flowing forth? Or, do I hunt the bomb-shelter of self, evade responsibility. Does life scare me? Do I dig in farther because I feel unloved?

How does God see me? However I look or I act! He has to see me at a glance, unsmiling, pouting and dull, or happy and radiant. How does God feel when He looks at me? Do I make Him feel comfortable, happy? Am I strong enough to dare, to live, to declare God first? Can He dwell in me? Can He walk in me? Do I declare darkness or Light?! I can’t have both ice and steam. I must decide.

How does God see me? He pays no attention to my frown. He sees me as He created me, in His image and likeness, never wavering, never ceasing, holding me fast. He sees me as His perfect Creator because He knows I have no place else to go but up. There is nothing else for me to do but to go up. Love conquers anything. Love flows without ceasing. Free running water eventually purifies the muddiest stream, so "We all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord."

Looking up, I am refined and beautiful. God sees me becoming His Glory, as I see a perfect rose, open to the beauty of the sky and sun. I am reborn, resurrected, and ascended!

As God Sees Me

June 8, 1958

Hebrews 5, John 14:12-14, II Corinthians 6:16
II Corinthians 3:18 & I Peter 4:10-11

We all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
II Corinthians 3:18

Science has revolutionized the world as we knew it only fifty years ago. From steamships to satellites is a long step. From rocks in the stream to spin-dry washers is another long step. All this and many more familiar marvels have come from the world of science and technology.

Despite these wonders, many selfishly repudiate their responsibility and the Brotherhood of Man, saying they are not their brother’s keepers, while others are proud of their agnosticism. Yet, we are ascending. Desire for Ascension fills humanity’s heart as much as it does the scientific world. We must accept that the doubled healing and Ascension Power, among those who love God, is the way to lead humanity home again.

This text in Hebrews is unusual, but compare it with the first chapters of the Gospel and Letter of John. That which is made is created from that which is usable. John loved God as Principle and Personality, and was balanced. Personality is just as important as Principle. The Letter to Hebrews presents God as Personality. Paul presents the responsibilities of the office of a high priest. God calls one from among men to become a priest, and he must make a sacrifice of himself first, before he can direct others to God. Every priest accepts offerings from others and gives in return gifts of love and guidance.

Melchizedek was not created, but precipitated a body to walk among men. The name means "King of Righteousness," and invokes Power. "I am He who was never born. I am He who shall never die. I am He who is your Supreme Father in form. The Supreme Father covers all space, but I speak for the All." Melchizedek was chosen to represent Divine Personality and take on visible form. We enter the Order of Melchizedek when we stand on truth. This chapter outlines how we should stand and act while remembering that God always sees us.

"As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God." These are the duties of ministering as a priest. Peter says everyone has received a gift. Each ministers as he or she has received the gift. You are your own oracle when you stand on truth and dare to speak it. The Mysteries came from the Holy of Holies, through the High Priest in the Jewish Temple. At Delphi, the oracle’s voice issued from a statue to remove earthly personality from the message. They hid the oracle so people would find it easier to speak to her. People will always criticize you for how you look, walk, talk.

"You ought to be teachers." The text says, "be teachers." ‘B’ is the Creative Fire. ‘E’ is the Mother of Earth. An oracle operates under Divine Inspiration and can unfold the Mysteries. Half the world’s priests, ministers and rabbis hear a Voice in the silence. Listen to discern the sense of each word you hear. You never slip back to self when you obey Law and practice Principle. Yet many hit a wall of self and return to the "milk" of Personality instead of loving enough to eat the "strong meat" of Principle.

God must see me through three stages as a Son of Man, a Son of God and, finally, as a Creator in His image and likeness of glory. Everyone progresses through these stages automatically. The Son of Man seeks the truth, which is the Rebirth. The Son of God is a doer who seeks to act as Christ, which is Resurrection. Then we become Creators and the Father says, "Ye are gods."

We enter the Son of Man stage with a certain degree of intellectual intelligence. Some accept God as a remote intellectual concept, a Supreme Being, a guiding Principle. They "know it all" or can explain it to themselves. Others believe in a Father, kindly or stern, giving or withholding, who does or doesn’t answer their prayers, and they’re never sure why. These ideas of God are only half of the equation. Our view of God expands as we grow and learn more about Him. God as Principle is my state of being, no matter how I see myself. God as Personality eternally sees me as I am.

"He who believes in me, the works that I do he will do also, and greater works than these will he do, because I go to my Father." Jesus, the Son of Man, went to the Father so that we might do the "greater works." We are doing greater works today than yesterday, in all ways. Look at our advances in medicine, science and communications. Eliminate the "I can’t do that" attitude. You can. Every time you step up, act as if you were doing still greater works. How can I find the ability to do the greater works? "Ask and you shall receive." Idle words are your biggest obstacle to success. Yet even if you remove "I can’t," your "I’ll try" will still stand in the way. Stop trying and do. You repeat the same old thing until you finally bite your tongue, which is progress!

"What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said, ‘I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God and they shall be my people.’" The Sons and Daughters of God are seekers who live by the superconscious "I AM" to become Christed Ones. You remain Christed while you stay wed to God in a Marriage of the Lamb [the mating of Desire and Will], but get a divorce if you descend.

You become the temple of the living God after the second Marriage, the mating of Wisdom and Love. Saying "I am God" is just egotism, not spiritual consciousness. You are the temple of the living God. "I will live in them" means God sends more and newer Power through you. "I will walk among them" means God wants us to accept that He moves with us. He never meant us to think that the part of Him that uses us as an oracle is as great as Melchizedek. We are not the totality of God, but portions. Creators are members of the Order of Melchizedek, the Order of Love backed by Wisdom. "I stand under the sponsorship of Power Supreme and am taken from the world completely. As a Creator, I walk softly and speak gently." Our tone of voice changes, the rasping harshness, the dictatorial tone disappears. We are up in consciousness, above the world’s "noise," and just don’t bother with petty affairs or mix in the fury around us.

Science lifts us despite ourselves. Just so must we lift our families, but they may not like it. As Love possesses you, it grips you in the clutches of Power. Arms of Light surround you and fill you full of Light until you’ll finally lose the need to tell others what is right. Each has received the gift of nonresistance, the greatest power in the world. The Law of Nonresistance is forgiveness in action. Forgiveness has become a trite expression. Love always forgives, but pride never forgets because it won’t let us love enough. Pride is deep, consumes the space love needs, and unless we lift it, love has no channel to use, nor have we true fellowship in the Order of Melchizedek.

God sees us in His original image and likeness of glory when Love uses us. We must minister the same way to one another. The Law says, "love your enemies." Do you hunt a bomb shelter of self and hide when you are afraid? You’ll find you have no enemies when you ascend. Clean up self, ascend and become a priest. Soul Ascension is being fully inspired at your highest point in consciousness, which is also your greatest weakness because you are apt to lose awareness of how far you have climbed, how much you have gained, how much you have to lose.

What does God see when He looks at you? Do you pout, or are you cheerful? God sees us as we are, dull, cloudy with self, or radiant with His glory. God loves us despite all this and always sees us in His image and likeness of glory. "God so loved the world that He sent His Only Begotten Son." He must have loved us dearly to send His Son, and loves us still, despite our petty childishness. Do you want others to love you because of, or in spite of what you do and say?

God points to the lotus atop the heart center and sees us as beautiful flowers. He says, "Come to me, child. You are a temple of the living God. I will live in you." He will never desert us, and always sees us as fulfilling our mission – to love enough. You have no enemies when you love enough. We fulfill part of our goal when we see darkness only to lift it, and succeed when we declare everything good.

"Now we see through a glass, darkly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then shall I know even as also I am known." We behold God as in a mirror. To know what God looks like, we must know what to see in the glass. What we see in others is our reflection in their glass. We can look in the mirror and never see the "prunes" we really are. "Father, here is your temple. Cleanse it. Purify it. Make it whole." We must walk and speak as ascending Creator gods, dwelling in the temple, where we see the radiance the Glory of God. You begin to appear as God made you, your face a mask of Light. Let love shine from your eyes. See if you can see the Light radiating.

From glory unto glory, God sees you as He created you in the beginning. He waits and watches for us to reach upward and shine as irresistible glory before the world. Lumps and growths will disappear when enough of God’s Elect let His beauties appear. Someday our faces will be flowers of beauty. We are going home, and we must accept this fact.

As I See the World

June 15, 1958 outline

Matthew 5:1-12

And seeing the multitudes, he went up on a mountain, and when he was seated his disciples came to him. Then he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you, when they revile and persecute you, and shall say all kinds of evil against you falsely for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:1-12

The Beatitudes are the Nine Lesser Mysteries, from "one," the individual, to "nine," the Brotherhood of Man. They deal with our nine attitudes to assume as our outlook on the world, nine ways in which we "see" the world. Each has his own personal world.

Life is a game that we all must play, and the Beatitudes illustrate nine ways to play the game. We must choose what character we want to play, which is an individual choice. Then we must learn our part. If we choose the Christed Way part, these Beatitudes will make us letter-perfect in the role.

Without making a choice, man lives in a three-dimensional wold, only one step up from being a creature. Until he chooses, he is living just between the creature world and the Son of Man world.

Choosing our character sets a keynote of life. These Be-Attitudes set a conduct pattern of gentle manners, a way of life, fitting whatever part we choose. They become our expression of God, and can become God seeing the world as us!

Remember, when Jesus taught, pride ruled the upper classes, who made a great display of their wealth and possessions. They prayed on street corners, so others could see how pious they were. "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." To this, we could add "Blessed are the poor in pride of spirit and the possession of things." The first surrender of pride in self is giving up "things." This wakens our first conscious need to give something up for the miracle answer to prayer. Everything belongs to God! I use all He gives me, all that I earn and all that comes as a gift-miracle through prayer. The keynote is "I accept" in this first step up from the third to the fourth dimension of prayer, "letting" Power use me, counting on the invisible, "believing to see."

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." Mourning is grief and sorrow, but can become self-pity and stagnation in a vale of tears and illusion. At sometime, we have all wandered around, up and down, in a sea of our own tears, seeing no way out, our wing always draggled in the mist furnished by our tears. This Beatitude deals with the mystery of giving up possession of all personality, even my own, or that which I see as belonging to me. Jesus taught this as, "What is that to you? Follow me," and as, "Loose him, and let him go." The keynote is "I arise." I move up out of the vale of tears, fevers and headaches. I enter the fifth dimension of freedom from grief and self-pity. The mystery is the secret first engagement or betrothal of Desire and Will, which bring the first freedom from bondage to the little self.

"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." The keynote is "I forgive" seventy times seven times in a day. I give up enemies and adversaries. I open my mind and heart to become a seeker, a searcher, and move into the sixth dimension, where I become a balanced Creator. This makes me a burning flame of desire, a magnet of attraction. I move under the greatest of all Creative Laws, active, aggressive Nonresistance, which creates a circle of protection. "I love you" creates my private "magic circle," which nothing may enter.

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled." When you "hunger and thirst," every cell is crying out to love God until the craving to know God has consumed you. The keynote is "I forget" the past, seventy times seven times in a day, dragging no anchor of the past. Instead, I "get for." Get what? At this first Marriage of the Lamb, I have lifted subsoul to become one with egoic soul, opening the Oversoul "I AM" center in the head. I move into the seventh dimension as a Son of God, having transmuted Desire and Will into Intuition and Illumination until I become a Priest of the Order of Melchizedek.

"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy." The keynote is "Compassion." In this fifth Beatitude, we find freedom to love, are no longer afraid of love or of what others say. We "just" love. Here we step into the eighth dimension of Power, balanced on our Rod of Power, our Divine Axis, our Center of Being. We sing to see the world as a joyous place! The secret mystery is that Compassion absorbs doubt, fear and dread, until we finally learn what true Love really is.

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." We shall see God as God sees us. God has made us in His image and likeness, and His pattern for us is balanced Love and Wisdom. The heroine in Marie Corelli’s inspired novel, "The Life Everlasting," transmuted her Desire and Will into Love and Wisdom. When she balanced her Love and Wisdom, she could draw to her a rose blooming against a wall near her window, desiring to inhale its perfume. The keynote is "honor," which requires purity of heart and mind, Desire (emotions), Imagination and Thinking, and purity of purpose, which includes our plans, molds and creations. In the ninth dimension we find the Brotherhood of Man. The mystery unveiled in this Beatitude is that we see God in everyone, everything, everywhere.

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God." Peacemakers are pacemakers for the world. The keynote is "responsibility." The Priest [number seven, seventh Beatitude] aggressively works for active peace, at the center of every storm or whirlwind, but remaining calm at the Center of Power. Lifting the five outer senses, we synthesize them into one great faculty of apperception, which is the secret of becoming immovable and untouchable. In this, the tenth dimension of a spiritualized individuality, we never take in, but always give out.

"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." All Power is yours to use for ruling your kingdom of heaven. Do you like yours now? What are you doing about it? The keynote of this Beatitude is "I assume all blame" to lift, not as mine, but as God’s. Your kingdom follows you! You are its pattern. In this eighth Beatitude, you are the servant of all Power, achieving "emancipation" by unfolding the mystery of tying your earth to your heaven. The eleventh dimension opens high mastery of self through righteousness of Vision.

"Blessed are you, when they revile and persecute you, and shall say all kinds of evil against you falsely for my sake." Our choices, when we walk the Way of the Christ, are to be a brother to all, to lift the influence and effects of evil, declare the good, and balance the scales twenty-four hours a day "for my sake," because you love me enough. This is the twelfth dimension of perfection of our outlook upon our world. We become like a mirror, and reflect others’ darkness, which they credit to us! We must keep our mirror spotlessly clean in the twelfth dimension, which is the same as the Thirty-third Degree of the Via Christa. The keynote is "balance," in which we make a whole pattern. The secret of the Creator is to relate to and to integrate everything.

"Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven." "I rejoice, and am glad! I see my world as perfect." In the game of life, which is like a play, events do not always allow us to rehearse our part. Yet we must have some basic cues on when to enter the stage, and know how to act. The nine Beatitudes are these cues for our "part." Our "prompter" is Joy. Only by choosing, only by holding fast, only through rejoicing are we triumphant and victorious.

As I See the World

June 15, 1958

Matthew 5:1-12

The Beatitudes are really attitudes toward life. The way you express the Beatitudes reveals your outlook on life, how you see your world. Beatitudes set a keynote of gentle manners before the world, and illustrate nine ways to play the game of life. Action is the keynote of the Christ-life, and gentle manners are not passive. You must live, and though you may run away, you can’t escape life. Finally you must choose the character you wish to express as a keynote for life, or you can’t progress from life’s physical dimensions. Choose the birthright Jesus portrayed in the Beatitudes as your character. Live a Christed life, and you’ll express such character.

"Seeing the multitudes, [Jesus] went up on a mountain and when he was seated, his disciples came to him. Then he opened his mouth and taught them." We inhabit three-dimensional space: Height, width and depth, but these dimensions are too earthy to use here. The fourth dimension is metaphysical, where Power opens the pineal gland to Illumination. Jesus saw the multitudes by applying the Law of Observation as Logic, Reason, Discrimination, Discretion and Discernment. He "went up" to a higher state of consciousness, the sixth dimension of Intuition, to bring the Father’s Message through for the multitudes. He agreed with God, adjusted to man and spoke when the right vibration was "set." We agree with Power, and adjust to others and outer conditions.

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Being "poor in spirit" has nothing to do with poverty. To understand this, we must consider the time when Jesus lived. The upper class ruled arrogantly by pride of place and education. Jesus never stopped preaching against pride. You can be proud but you may not have pride. You are too proud if you boast. Blessed are the poor in pride of possession. "I accept" is the keynote. "All I have comes from God. I may use all that He gives me, but I don’t own or possess it." God places no limit on the Love He gives you to use. You forget the hurtful words or actions when you truly forgive. Creature consciousness is three-dimensional only. We enter a new heaven on the first step from the creature stage to the fourth dimension. We ascend to the first "I AM" center, the heart, where we unfold all Mysteries through prayer.

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." Mourning does not include stagnant self-pity. Each, through his tears of self-pity, creates his own veil of tears. Tears dampen your wings and create headaches that wreck your aura and rust it full of holes. This is the fifth dimension of science where you can create form. Five is the number of the soul’s freedom to lift and be free of the little self. "I arise" is the keynote. Stand in the Light of the Comforter and ascend one step higher to the freedom dimension. With the first complete mating of Desire and Will, you are freed from mourning. The mystery is that God gives all personalities freedom of choice. Whatever you are, creature or Creator, your personality makes you mourn. Give up possession of "self," arise and let the Light of life possess you.

"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth" If I inherit the earth, I inherit everything on it, light and dark. Meekness does not mean passively letting others rule you. Meekness is nonresistance, the most actively aggressive Power the world knows. The Master’s nonresistance is permeating the world today. Active nonresistance isn’t irritating and we, who love God, may not destroy peace. Our keynote is, "I forgive and resist nothing. I give something of God to all who come to me. I draw about me a magic circle of nonresistance as I enter the sixth dimension and touch the fringes of what a Creator is." The third Beatitude is in the sixth dimension. Many descended Creator gods dwell in the sixth dimension and may create life, but only the Supreme Father can create a living soul. Three plus six gives the perfect number, nine. You can’t have the magic circle without the nine. While you are learning to be a Creator, say, "Darling, I love you where you are," and nothing may enter unless from above.

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled." Righteousness is your highest point of Vision. When you express your zenith of devotion, you hunger and thirst for God. "I forget" is the keynote. You surrender when you hunger and thirst to be one with God, until you forget every enemy and adversary. You make the second Marriage of the Lamb, mate Wisdom and Love, and become a Priest of Melchizedek in the seventh dimension. The fourth Beatitude is in the seventh dimension. Seven plus four totals eleven, the number of the first mastery.

"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy." Complete compassion is Wisdom and Love expressing as perfect balance. Mercy is an aspect of Mother-God’s Love. Justice is an aspect of Father-God’s Wisdom. We must dispense balanced justice through poise, Wisdom, Love, compassion and mercy. The fifth Beatitude and the eighth dimension combine to equal the perfect thirteen, which is freedom to follow the Christ. As we tie our earth to heaven, we enter the eighth dimension on God’s limitless Power. The secret is complete freedom from dread, fear, doubt, anxiety and confusion. Freedom must be based on this.

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." The keynote is "honor above all." The ladder is purity of heart, mind and purpose. As you purify your heart and emotions, you become purity of mind and heart. You fulfill your purpose and plan when you use no idle words, create no dark mental pictures, but live by honor and see only God. The ninth dimension is the pure Brotherhood of Man under the Fatherhood of God. Each step is a great initiation. The secret is that God is all and is in all. The sixth Beatitude and the ninth dimension total fifteen, the honor of the Father and Mother.

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God." A peacemaker is a pacemaker, but he must follow someone who has already blazed the trail. Pacemakers give up self and learn not to be annoyed. Responsibility is the keynote as you hold your poise on the Rod of Power, for the magic circle breaks if you let confusion absorb it. You shall have opened hearts when you become as "little children." The seventh Beatitude in the tenth dimension is perfected personality under the Priest. Ten is a spiritualized individual on earth. Seven plus ten totals eight, the number tying earth to heaven, which is at-one-ment. You live in the tower room of prayer, stand immovable and untouchable, God-conscious from morning to night in the storm’s calm center. The serenity and beauty of this magic circle lifts and comforts, and you see your world to lift. The place of Golden Silence is always at the center. You occupy a calm spot observing as a Creator.

"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." The kingdom of heaven is that calm center in a world of doubt. The keynote is "I assume" all blame for everything around me, for God’s sake. God must first have it to make it right, so we return it to the Father as a gift. We lift everything dark so that He can do something about it. All Power uses me to tie earth to heaven. My kingdom is bright, but others may not like it or want it, so I must assume blame and lift. The eighth Beatitude is in the eleventh dimension, mastery through emancipation from self. High mastery is righteousness, living up to your highest Vision of God.

"Blessed are you when they shall revile and persecute you and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for my sake." Love and Wisdom in balance is the keynote. Wisdom as will holds itself to this consciousness, but only desire sublimated to Love will bring you balance. The mystery is to interrelate every phase of life in balance with love, tie earth to heaven, and feel the interrelationship of all truth. The twelfth dimension is the capstone. You ascend in balance to stand on the hub of Ezekiel’s Wheel and see the world as God would see it – as Substance we must return to soul, as darkness we must lift to Light.

"Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Declare: "I rejoice and am glad because I know God. Love’s magic circle surrounds and protects me. I know perfection will be the grand finale. I will become perfect by assuming the character that will lead me and play the game of life as a Christed One. I choose a keynote of gentle manners before the world and open my eyes and ears to revelation."

Look at your world and see the hidden beauty and glory. Use your creative tools to make this a world you want to see.

As the World Sees Me

June 22, 1958 outline

I Corinthians 13

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels but have not love, I am become as sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor and though I give my body to be burned but have not love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up, does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly but then face to face. Now I know in part but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
I Corinthians 13

The Laws of Moses strictly followed Divine Principle. He taught of God as a rigid disciplinarian on the masculine Wisdom Ray. The Laws of Jesus taught and followed God as a Personality. He spoke of Him as God, but pictured Him as a Father, kind, loving, beneficent and forgiving. They accused him of being effeminate because he opened the Mother Aspect of God, the feminine vibration, which emancipated women.

The Laws of Moses set their followers’ faces in lines of inflexible rigidity. Jesus’ Laws left his followers’ faces mobile and flexible. Yet to show the world the face of Jesus, we must use the Laws of Moses in the most rigid self-discipline.

This week’s Saturday Evening Post carried the seventh article in a series called "Adventures in Mind," by Paul Tillich of Harvard University. He said, "Religion is a dimension of depth," which man has lost under his intoxication in speeding forward without limits into space and time. And while he changes his world, he changes himself. Everything he encounters becomes a tool, but so do we. A tool for what? We have no answer.

Rushing forward, horizontally, man has lost the meaning of the "symbols" of religion. As "historical stories," they lose all their power, because we can’t explain them on the horizontal level. So, after rigid discipline, what must we do? We must "LET" this intimate Father of Jesus pour His Love through us from the "vertical depths."

To analyze this chapter of Corinthians, we use "love" instead of "charity." The dictionary defines charity as "seeing good in all," which is seeing God everywhere. Only through Love can we ever do this.

Let us use three ideas for climbing back into our "Dimension of Depth," which includes the fourth and fifth dimensions. First, we must accept our inheritance from above. Second, we must have a personal plan of life and code of ethics. Finally, we must have action. We must "BE AT IT," [as in Beatitude].

What is my inheritance? "Though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains but have not love, I am nothing." The "gift of prophecy" is the ability to pray and set aside destruction. To "understand all mysteries" is to stand under the Light, confident and trusting. "All knowledge" is always having an ever-ready answer. "All faith" is Faith Unconquerable, where nothing is impossible.

My plan is my way of life, my keynote of life. It includes a vivid Imagination, and a burning Desire. Under the Laws of Jesus, I must base my plan in Love, I must give Imagination a right pattern to hold, and a goal out there ahead. Every step and each hour becomes a part of that plan and goal. I must vitalize and quicken my plan by dreaming of it, daydreaming about it and studying for it.

I can’t waver or let self interfere. You hear people say, "I’ve just had the heart taken out of me," or "I’ve just been put on a spot!" What spot? Were you pushed or did you choose it? Who put you on it? God, Law, people or yourself? No one can move us once we are determined to put everything we are, everything we have, into every small task. Nothing can touch us when we fill every hour with love. Self is the heaviest burden anyone can carry.

Our action then must be sweet, firm and final to defend our stand, and to hold to our choice. Our words must be sweet, having a definite compassionate consideration for the one to whom we speak. Our words must be so firm and brisk that they cannot be set aside or overlooked. They must contain such an honor and loyalty, while being so reasonable, because they are founded in so deep a conviction of Truth that the very tone of voice will carry an unanswerable, unalterable finality.

Hear the Code that Paul left us, the Code of the Dimension of Height-Depth into which Jesus’ teachings lead us to rigid self-discipline: "Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up, does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity but rejoices in the truth."

"Love suffers long and is kind." Love forgives seventy times seven times in a day, and forgets the offense by covering it in love. "Love does not envy," but wants only its very own. Love "waits upon the Lord," and thanks God for the delay or the detour. "Love does not parade itself," but remains in the Golden Silence. Love is not "puffed up" because it takes no pride in the self. Love does not "behave rudely" because it avoids the appearance of evil. Love does not "seek its own," but seeks first the kingdom of God’s righteousness, while waiting for all else to be added. Love is not "easily provoked," since it stands on the axis of Power. Love "thinks no evil," since it knows that all is good. Love "rejoices in the truth" because it has Unconquerable Faith that Love always wins!

As I use these Laws of Love for self-discipline, I see God, face to Face. His Glory blinds me.

What does the world see as it sees me, face to face? An office manager once greeted his staff, saying, "Good morning! Are you happy?" They answered, "Yes!" Then he asked, "Well, why not let your face know about it?"

So, we accept and "let" that part of our inheritance pour through us as Love to nourish and sustain us, to keep us alive and alert to remember our plan, which holds our pattern before us in vivid Imagination while we go into action. Then the world may see us filled with Life and Light, for we have "found our life," never again to lose it. Others see us as free, tall, walking on tiptoes, reaching for the stars. They see us walking in the strength of God’s Strength. They see us enfolded in the love of God’s Love. The world sees our expression of our Code of Depth-Height Dimension before the world – filled with the glory of God’s Glory, a soul radiant, brilliant, triumphant, victorious!

I Corinthians 13

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I have become as sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.

I Corinthians 13

The seventh article in a glorious series, "Adventures in Mind," by Paul Tillich of Harvard, is in this week’s Saturday Evening Post. It explains religion as the "dimension of depth" and says that our nation has lost depth under its intoxication with speeding forward without limits into time and space. As we change ourselves, we change our world. Everything we encounter becomes a tool, but so do we. The question is, a tool for what? We have no answer. Tillich says we live in a horizontal age, going back and forth, having lost our ability to go any other way. We have lost the meaning of religious symbols. Early church stories lose their power as symbols when interpreted "historically" on the horizontal plane. The world can’t understand their diluted meaning. We opened the worldly vibration of intellectualism about religious symbolism that our colleges are teaching today when we explained them to agnostic minds. We must redefine our symbols as we should have accepted them originally.

Religion expresses our desires, and is our code of ethics, a plan for living together in perfect peace. The Principle of Desire fuels the Creative Impulse of life itself, which shows on our faces. "Deadly bores" have little life. One who is interested in life is just brilliant with animation. We will never reach the goal unless we add Imagination and Desire to our plan.

Mosaic Law is a horizontal code because it follows Principle and reflects the masculine aspect of God as Wisdom expressing throughout the breadth of Creation. Moses spoke of God as a strict disciplinarian, and taught the Law as a rigid code for outer action that we couldn’t modify or change to suit individual tastes. Moses taught symbols, but the interpretation became rigid.

Jesus lived and taught in the dimension of height and he gave us many symbols and a vertical code of Law for the inner world. Jesus taught Laws to follow God as Personality, a kind, loving, beneficent and forgiving Father, and he opened the vibration of Love, the feminine aspect of God as Mother. For this, they accused him of blasphemy and of being weak. He modified truth to simple symbols like the grain of the field, birds, trees and flowers. One who lives by these simple Laws has a mobile, joyous expression. Interpretation of Law according to Principle sets the face in rigid lines, reveals inflexibility, and the danger of using the force of self-will always comes with it. Yet, we may not set aside the rigidity of Mosaic Law because we can’t reach the heights or show the world a loving face without the most rigid self-discipline. Laws form the path back to God, and it takes holding not to slip backward. After we practice rigid self-discipline, we ascend to the heights of glory and let our intimate Father pour Love through us from the vertical heights. We may not force others to do anything, but can encourage and entice them to self-discipline. As we use self-discipline, God’s Power uses us.

The Beatitudes that Jesus taught in the Sermon on the Mount form a code of being. Beatitudes are attitudes of being, but no code is any good unless we act on it. We must "BE AT IT" with the Tau cross (T) of Ascension, which reveals the dimension of height. The Beatitudes’ nine aspects of Love encompass our Code of Ethics.

Today’s text contains seven steps of Love in Action. To analyze I Corinthians 13, we read "love" instead of "charity." The dictionary says charity is "seeing good in all things," and this means seeing God everywhere, which we can do only through love.

We take three steps in climbing to our dimension of height, which encompasses the fourth and fifth dimensions. First, we must accept our inheritance from above. Second, we must have a definite personal plan of life, a code of ethics. Third, we must act. No two people can live under the same code: Each must work out his or her personal code of acceptance, ethics and action. These are three ways to help the world to discipline self.

What is your inheritance? "Though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains but have not love, I am nothing." To prophesy is to use your physical senses as inner faculties to detect something coming. You can pray and set aside destruction, which is divine protection. To "understand all mysteries" means to stand confident and trusting under the Light that shines in every dark place.

"All knowledge" is an ever-ready answer that comes from observation, the ability to stand and apply Logic, Reason, Discretion, Discrimination and Discernment in your life. We tune in Divine Mind for the answers we need. We can’t find tomorrow’s answer in yesterday, but receive today’s answer when we say, "This is good." Pray for the right answer at the right time, and declare that all that comes is good. "All knowledge" is knowing how to do the right thing. "All faith" is immovable, unconquerable and cannot fail. Nothing is impossible to "all faith" when you know the secret, to stand under the Light and unfold the heavenly Mysteries.

A plan is a way, a keynote of life. According to the Laws Jesus taught, we must base our plan on love, and two essential factors, a vivid Imagination and a burning Desire. Imagination builds the picture of your goal, and you must give it the right pattern. This finishes living in the horizontal dimension since your Imagination must be on a cloud. Keep your Vision of Beauty and Glory unsullied in the dimension of height. Keep your ideals above this world.

You’ll attract the world to hear the message if you have a real twenty-four-hour interest in heaven. Each hour becomes a part of that plan, a step toward that goal. We must vitalize and quicken our plan, dream of it, daydream about it, study for it without wavering or letting self interfere. The "little me" says, "I’ve lost heart," or "I’ve been put on a spot." What spot? Were you pushed, or did you choose it? Who put you on the spot? God? Law? Another or yourself? No one can move us once we decide to put everything we have into each small task, and fill our hours with love.

Self is the heaviest burden anyone can carry. Everyone has a high degree of idle word action, all too often our biggest waste of soul substance. Bite your tongue when irritated, or you pay the other fellow’s debts, too. We use three modes of action for perfect speech: Sweetly, firmly and finally – the only way to hold to your choice and defend your standpoint without being shoved off by self. Decide where you want to live! Meet every ugliness that words can produce with a sweet, firm tone, and words that carry definite compassionate consideration. You use nothing but sweetness when you speak with compassion.

Watch the tone of your voice. A saccharine tone reveals a desire to make everyone conform to your way, or may cover a revenge motive. Most marital difficulties arise from tone of voice. Criticism descends to the horizontal dimension, but you have no enemies when you ascend. Your words must be so firm and brisk that others can’t ignore or set them aside, yet so filled with Honor and Loyalty to God, founded in such a deep conviction of Truth that they are reasonable. Your tone is firm and final if you love at this height. Just stand and say that you have no intention of complying with an impossible request, sweetly, firmly and finally.

"Love suffers long and is kind" means love forgives seventy times seven. To "suffer" means to "let." Longsuffering means forgiving until you forget the offense. You can’t forgive until you forget. "Love does not envy" means to go around obstacles to reach the goal. Most people regard detours as delays but detours can be the "way of the Lord." Delays sometimes save lives. Ask God to give the other fellow what you want for yourself, and rejoice when his miracle comes before yours.

"Love does not parade itself" means don’t talk about yourself or blow your own horn. You leave others with nothing good to say about you if you are always busy boasting. "Love is not puffed up" means love has no pride of self, yet arrogance inflates to fill all available space and leaves no room for anything good. "Love does not behave rudely" means we must avoid all appearance of evil. Should you slip, hang a veil of Light from the Source to wipe it from the other fellow’s memory. "Love does not seek its own, is not easily provoked" means we must stand in poise without using words harshly, which covers "pushiness."

"Love thinks no evil" but knows that God is all good and is evenly present and available everywhere. "Love does not rejoice in iniquity but rejoices in the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." Finally, "Love never fails" means that love always wins, which is the code for the high dimension. As I use these Laws of Love for self-discipline, I see God face to Face, and His glory blinds me to the world.

What does the world see as it sees me? Let your face know how happy you are. Let the world see Joy in your face. If you stand under the Light just once, it will show. Accept and let your inheritance pour through as love to nourish and sustain, to keep you alive and alert to remember your plan. Use the right words. Let vivid Imagination hold the Vision of your plan’s pattern and point your way to the goal as you act. Let the Love of God pour through, and Desire to ascend into the high dimension.

The world sees me as filled with life and Light because I have Light and have "found my life," never again to lose it. The world sees me free, tall, with winged, dancing feet, reaching for the stars because I am happy, strong and shining with glory. The world sees me walking in the strength of God’s strength, enfolded in the love of God’s Love, filled with the glory of God’s Glory. I am a soul, radiant, brilliant, triumphant and victorious! The world sees in me an expression of the Code of Love, my high dimension of glory before the world.

The horizontal world may not follow us to the heights now but it will someday. The River of Life flows to God and from Him. Even those who hate us are going – they may not like it but they are going. When we look brilliant and shining, the world will see us as we really are. The secret is to climb high enough. Let’s go!
