ALL THE WAY A Handbook for Those who have entered the Path and have determined to walk all the Way with Christ to the Heights of the Ascension r Annie Rix Militz Puhthked by The Maitik Mind Publishing Co, I.oa Angelea, California 3y Google &£ 3y Google 497972 3y Google ^nzd by Google Foreword THOSE who have made up their minds to go on to the Ascension, taking all the steps essential to that attainment, should read each chapter and verse carefully and prayer- fully. For there is a teaching for each Candi- date which is beneath the words and unwritten and, to catch that instruction, there must be a conscious openness to the TEACHER WITHIN. The writing of this Handbook on ALL THE Way has not been by subject or by any fixed order that human intellect might dictate, but on the contrary. For each chapter was writ- ten as the substance came to me with apparent repetitions, and some disconnected and irrele- vant presentations, because of leaving the con- struction wholly to the Spirit that guides the Candidate into all the truth that belongs to achieving the Christ goal. The paragraphs are numbered as well as the chapters for convenience in referring to specific instruction, God grant that many will be led to com- mune with themselves and, by the power of their own great Self, determine to reach the Heights. Any communication from you, dear Reader, as to your experiences and aspirations as well as obstacles in the Path upon which Google your feet shall henceforth walk, will be wel- come and held in sacred confidence. Let us ever remember that none could make this attainment in his own strength. It is God that walks the Way in us and is our Almighty Power to attain the Heights. To him only belongs the glory.

If any man come to me and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him. Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him witk twenty thousandt Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an embassage, and desiretk conditions of peace. So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. — Luke 14:25-33. rt£ VERYONE who is contemplating HfT going forward in the Christ Life to r** its glorious ultimate must begin to v- consider all that it means. It means all for All. 2 Therefore Jesus presents it very strongly, that unless you can, in seeking to do the will Google 12' '•'•'•'•', All the Way and work of Christ, be indifferent to relatives, even to the one who has been dearest, and indifferent to your own life, you cannot follow the Master to the heights. 3 Holding to one's possessions, to one's pleasures, to one's duty to relatives, has kept many an earnest heart from making the attain- ment — the price, "all that he hath," has been kept back. 4 He who sets out upon the Way of the Christ begins to lay the foundation of a Tower, which is the new body, the incorruptible body in which he can achieve the Ascension. To build upon that foundation a finished struc- ture, he must have every stone of the Christ doctrine, alert to reject none lest he miss "the head of the corner," and therefore find himself among the many who shall strive to enter in and shall not be able, 5 This Walk with God means a conscious- ness in the outer (the body) and a conscious- ness within (the character). The king, your aspiring self, must consider whether it has the equipment to fight the carnal self that seems so strong. And if there seems something lacking one must either fight like David about to meet Goliath, casting oneself wholly upon God, or must take the whole message of the Christ of non-resistance and "agreeing with thine adversary," not warring at all but win- ning over evil with good. ^nzd by Google All the Way 13 6 The Christ Way is bearing your cross instead of rebelling and fighting it. The car- nal self seems to cross the self that is aspiring to be one with the true Self. The old, violent way was to fight it, beating and otherwise punishing it unmercifully — the crucifixion that ended in death of the body. But Jesus was crucified literally once for all people, and we who follow him to the Ascension now "take up (elevate) our cross and follow" him. 7 So also other things that humiliate, per- secute and torment one are crosses, not to be fought nor run away from, but to be lifted as Moses lifted the brazen serpent in the wilder- ness under the Lord's direction, and it healed all those who had been bitten by serpents, when they obediently "looked up" to it. 8 Every relative, friend or other person- ality must be secondary to the Life. The measure of one's freedom from relatives and other people is indicated by the amount of disturbance that is made within us by the con- templation of their disapproval or misunder- standing of us, or their loss through defection, treachery or death. Can we still realize the immortal Life of them and ourselves? Do we continue to hold our peace and trust the Best in them? Let go I Give up! Loosen every chain. 9 "Who is my mother, or my brethren? Whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, my sister, and my mother," .Google 14 All the Way (Mark 3:33-35). "And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven," (Matt. 23:9). 10 "If any man come to me and hate not his . . ." (Luke 14:26) ; the word "hate" is not a good translation of the Greek word which means "to love less." For these relatives are our "neighbors" whom we are enjoined to love as ourselves, the Second Commandment, which "is like unto the First." The significance is this, that when it comes to a choice, and we take our love for, or duty to, our relatives instead of the Way which is plainly to follow some direction of the Christ, then we cannot follow him all the Way. 11 Duty, even what seems a most sacred duty, must not interfere. Nothing was more binding in the heart of a filial Hebrew than to observe the last sacred rites in the burial of a parent. Yet the Master commanded one of his followers to "Let the dead bury their dead, but go thou and preach the kingdom of God," (Luke 9:59, 60). 12 Not even sentiment shall enter in, not old observances of the ceremonies and habits that connect one with the former relationships shall interfere with the direct call to go for- ward in this upward Way. 13 Another follower of Jesus wished to turn back, to ceremoniously bid his people ^nzd by Google All the Way 15 farewell, thus making himself liable to their influence and placing a stumblingblock in his way. To him Jesus replies: "No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the king- dom of God," (Luke 9:62). 14 "Go thou and preach the kingdom of God," is the word to all who are learning there is but one business in life, our heavenly Fath- er's business. "Wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?" (Luke 2:49). 15 "Labour not for the meat that perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto ever- lasting life" (John 6:27), and he called his disciples from their fish nets and they dropped them where they were and followed him. He said to Matthew, the publican, as he sat at the money-changer's table, "Follow me," and he rose then and there and left his table as it was, and followed him. 16 No earthly business must stand in the way when the Master calls, even though that business be one's very life. No cares of the household should keep one from sitting at the Master's feet and serving him in the way he would be served, in ministering Truth to a hungry world. 17 We remember Jesus' rebuke of the fret- ful and complaining Martha, burdened with much serving, when she would take Mary away from listening to the message of Truth: ■ Google 16 All the Way "Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: but one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her," (Luke 10:38-42). 18 There is but one work for those who are walking the earthly road for the last time, and the sooner and the fuller such enter into this work of teaching the nations the Christ life, the more quickly they will advance in the heavenly Way and finish all earth's sorrows and hardships. 19 Meditation upon Jesus' words as our very own establishes the state of mind that will outpicture in the most direct and easiest way, the means and method of external accom- plishment: "To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice," (John 18:37). "I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh when no man can work," (John 9:4). "Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest. Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest." "The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the Google All the Way 17 harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest," {John 4:35 and Luke 10:2). "My Father worketh hitherto and I work," (John 5:17). "Take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you," (Matt. 10:19, 20). "The words that I speak unto you, I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works," (John 14:10). "My meat is to do the will of him that sent me and to finish his work," (John 4:34). "It is finished," (John 19:30). 20 And the work which Christ has given you to do? Six directions were given to the original twelve with the injunction that they were to teach others to do all that he had told them to do: "Go ye therefore and teach all nations . . . teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you," (Matt. 28:19, 20). The six directions are (Matt. 10:7, 8) : 1 Go, preach, saying, The kingdom of of heaven is at hand. 2 Heal the sick. 3 Cleanse the lepers. 4 Raise the dead. 5 Cast out devils. 6 Freely ye have received, freely give. . Google 18 All the Way 21 The direction "Freely give" is espe- cially stressed by the Master. For each one that enters the Way must learn early that God alone is our support and the means of our supply, and that all that we do should be with- out a thought of compensation from those benefited. 22 This going forth into the highways and byways of the world without thought of whereby we shall be fed, clothed or housed is a splendid adventure more fraught with sur- prises and marvellous achievements than those of the knights of old, whether Crusaders or mere adventurers. 23 We need no backing but the Holy Spirit, none to call us and ordain us but the Voice of Jesus Christ within us. And God will make our word and our work, good. 24 In all ways we loosen our minds from dependence upon worldly methods for our support and from looking to personalities to supply us or uphold us. We free ourselves from looking to our own work, whether spir- itual or material, as our means of supply. 25 All attachment to money ceases with those who walk the Way; every one holding himself ready, no matter how great or how small or how precious his possessions may be, to "sell that ye have and give alms." Such a state of mind provides a perpetual wealth, "bags that wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not," (Luke 12:33). All the Way 19 26 We cannot be divided in our thoughts, feelings and works between worldly things and methods and those of the Spirit, one or the other will suffer neglect and we shall make a success of neither. "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body what ye shall put on," (Matt. 6:24, 25). 27 Of the two masters God is the one and money is the other. To try to serve both results in being indifferent to God ("hating the One") and worshipping money or giving it power and respect ("loving the other") or on the other hand, to try to serve both God and money, will be to attempt to live the spir- itual life ("hold to the One") and to have such a contempt for money ("despise the other") as to be impractical in demonstrating prosperity. 28 The only way is to give all power, all thought, all respect and all place to God and let money follow that true consciousness as its natural shadow. So shall you be "seeking first the kingdom of God and his righteous- ness" and seeing "all these things" after which the worldly people seek "added unto you," (Matt. 6:33). ^nzd by Google II Behold 1 skew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: far the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy vietoryf The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the taw. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, un- ' moveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, for as much as ye know that your labour is not vain in the Lord.— I Cor. 15:51-58. 1 The Way of the Christ is called in Isaiah 35:8, "The way of holiness." The prophet declares that "the unclean shall not pass over it but it shall be for those," that is, whoever enters that path of regeneration begins to be clean with his first step and, in order to pro- gress ("pass over it") he must grow cleaner with every step. Denized by Google All the Way 21 2 Health is one of the requisites of the Candidate: every cell that has been liable to corruption must be cleansed of all such ten- dency and become, in form and substance, absolutely without corruption. 3 Therefore an education of complete purity begins in the feeling and thinking na- ture. Every lustful thought is arrested in- stantly. "You are none of mine," said one faithful student who began to see that the unwelcome suggestions coming to him did not originate with him. And the thoughts receded like the voice of a dream. 4 Every involuntary response in the body to a lustful suggestion is arrested, while com- munion begins silently with the Holy One within, our incorruptible Self. 5 Such an inner work begins the cleansing of the cells of the body. Whatever appear- ance of corruption may then force itself upon one's notice must be treated as though it were the whole body, rising from the dead. 6 A faithful demonstration with a single cell, is the uplifting (raising up or resurrec- tion) of all the cells — the whole body. There- fore walk honestly, in purity and in strength, from one incorruptible expression to another, until this whole body is "clothed upon with our house which is from heaven," (2 Cor. 5:2). 7 Perpetual youth is another requisite of those who are Candidates for the Christ at- Google 22 All the Way tainment. "His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth," (Job 33:25). 8 It matters not how many years may seem to have accumulated, let the Candidate but become young in heart and mind through re- membering that the True Self is ever youthful (even while it is the Ancient of Days) and thereupon the body will begin to show re- newal, and the whole being be filled with interest, enthusiasm, joy and strength. 9 It is promised that those who serve their God-Self shall renew their strength (Is. 40:31) ; they shall know no weariness; they shall cast their burdens upon the Lord; they shall not fail nor faint nor lose courage, but they "shall renew their youth like the eagle's" (the phoenix) ; and all these things are looked for in this Path of wisdom. 10 For the Way of the Christ is a joyous road wherein all the world's pleasures return to their innocence, purity and full zest. "They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away," (Is. 35:10). For Christ's way is truly the path of Wisdom, of whom it is written, "Her ways are ways of pleasantness and all her paths are peace," (Prov. 3:17). 1 1 Take every tear as a sign that some of the old life remains, and begin to purge the memory of its gloomy pictures and imagina- Google All the Way 23 tions; heal the feelings of false sensitiveness, self-pity and the sense of the reality of the wrongs and griefs of mortality. Tenderness and sweet sympathy and compassion are Christ powers that act most perfectly when free from the weakness of tears. 12 The Way of Christ is all joy and all that walk it should walk in peace and happi- ness, adhering as faithfully to these expres- sions of the true Life, as the ancient religion- ists held to morality and goodness. 13 "In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death" (Prov. 12:28) and all meditation upon death is finished. There is no looking forward to it as a release, nor is there any fear of death and what will follow. 14 "I AM the Door" and "I Am the Life," says the Christ, therefore Life is the Door and not death. Every Candidate should press on ardently to the Door of the Christ Life to pass quickly to the powers of the Ascension. For none can serve God and humanity ; so effectually and efficiently as those who are free to function with their whole being upon any, and all, planes, a power in which Jesus Christ dwells now who, describing that state, de- clared "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth," (Matt. 28:18). '15 "But some doubt," questioning their ibility to reach the goal. Let them then seek .Google 24 All the Way to live the long life, even the patriarchal age, and use each year with all faithfulness to sur- mount unbelief and let God work out his own divine desire concerning them. 16 More than anything else, seek to be infused with the divine breath called the Holy Spirit. This is the baptism that brings about all things. It is the instantaneous and uni- versal working of the whole of Heaven in Man. 17 Prayer is the one supreme instrument given to man by God for all attainment. "Pray without ceasing." "Watch and pray always." "This Spirit itself maketh intercession for us." 18 Prayer is the Word of God. It is God speaking to God. It is the Breath of God that is back of our physical breath, and when we are alert in consciousness of prayer or breath- ing from God, if our physical breath were suspended, we would continue life in this physical form through the Soul-breath until the physical breath should again be free. 19 "Tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem" — abide in spiritual and moral form and true- ness, "until ye be endued with power from on high," (Luke 24:52). "Then returned they unto Jerusalem" and "all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication" (Acts 1 :12, 14) "and when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place, and suddenly there came a sound D^d by Google All the Way 25 from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost," (Acts 2:1 to 4). "If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him." 20 Forty days had the disciples communed with the resurrected Jesus Christ, upon the "things pertaining to the kingdom of God," (Acts 1 :3), and then they witnessed his "taking up." And, following his command, they stayed close in Jerusalem abiding and praying with one accord for ten days, and on the Fiftieth Day after the Passover week (from the day of the Resurrection) the same bap- tism descended upon the disciples that came upon Jesus as he went up out of the water- baptism of John the Baptist, (Mark 1:10, 11). Meditate upon this initiation of those who walk all the way with Christ, and pray and commune with the Spirit and wait on the Lord until you know yourself "endued with power from on high." 3y Google Ill They which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. — Luke 20:35. Behold the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. —Matt. 25 :6. Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burn- ing; and ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their Lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and tnocteth, they may open unto him imme- diately.— Luke 12:35, 36. And the Spirit and the bride say. Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. — Rev. 22:17. All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it. — Matt. 19:11, 12. Strive to enter in at the strait gate; for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. — Luke 13:24. I am the Way.— John 14:6. / am the Door.— John 10:7, 9. By me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out and find pasture. — John 10:9. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. — Matt. 7:13, 14. ^nzd by Google All the Way 27 To htm that overcometh will I grant to sit with me on my throne. . ■ . Behold I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it. — Rev. 3:21, 8. 1 Ability to make the Heights, living to, and in, the New Age and overcoming death, is especially indicated by one's freedom from the thought of marriage and turning wholly from marrying or being given in marriage. 2 All expectancy of happiness through finding a mate on the earth must be turned to Christ, as the one spiritual Bridegroom, to God, as the one Husband. "Thy maker is thy husband," (Is. 54:5). 3 In the regeneration, every woman is to the candidate, his Mother or Sister, every man, her Father or Brother, and these relationships are with the Christ within each. 4 The union with the Universal is realized through giving the closest relationship, that human beings can have, to God, Christ and the Holy Spirit, finding the Bridegroom in these, likewise the Bride. 5 The portals of immortality are opened only to Virginity, which is first a conscious- ness, completed by the outer form of being sealed unto the Lord. 6 The heart and mind receive the seal when all one's generative powers are turned from flesh use and carnal pleasure. Then the psychical nature is sealed from astral imposi- Google 28 All the Way tion, as we read in Ezekiel 9:4 ("the mark," according to Tertullian was X tne Tau Cross) and Rev. 7:3. "Sealed in their foreheads" is more literally, in the top of the head, where we are psychically open, as a babe is physically open, until the Master of Regeneration has sealed us, as fruit is sealed with wax and so protected from the fermentation of corruption and death. 7 Then follows the sealing of the body as in a virgin state, so that the physical skin hermetically (so called because of the magic of Hermes or Thoth, god of thought) seals the whole body from the intrusion of death and decomposition. "And after my skin hath compassed this body, in my flesh I shall see God* [immortality]," Job 19:26 — Young's Translation combined with A. V. 8 While one appears to be in a sensual world, in order not to be "of it" there must be a perpetual alertness not to be seduced by the false suggestions of one's own old nature or by false prophets who do not accept Jesus Christ. 9 For more candidates have fallen by the wayside, who were near to their goal, by a false attitude as to sex than by any other error. Theirs is the failure of David, who through the weakness of sex desire became "a man of blood," causing the death of Bathsheba's hus- band, and so he could not build the house of i Vol. VIII, ptgt so of ^nzd by Google All the Way 29 the Lord, that is, his immortal body on the earth. 10 Keep "oil for your lamps" by conserv- ing your creative powers, increasing in knowl- edge and in other ways "laying up treasures in heaven"; so shall you be a "wise virgin," ready for the cosmic consciousness when it shall descend upon you. 11 "Gird up your loins" by refraining from loose speech and habits and ways respect- ing sexual matters, yet "quit you like men" who are virile and free and a law unto them- selves. 12 By this fine culture, all the senses grow very refined, alert, delicate and sensitive, so that one hears instantly the gentle knock of the True Self (the Bridegroom) and opens the Door to him immediately. 13 All are being called to this Perfect Life, and he who hears the call should not hesitate to call others as he sees they will listen. But no one is to be pressed to walk all the Way, for only those can enter the path to remain who have the inner urge. All shall be taught of God (John 6:45) eventually, and step upon the great Way. We can invite them to live this life but only God in them can respond to, and accept, this invitation. 14 Those who are able to enter the virgin life and there abide, are divided into three classes, according to Jesus (Matt. 19:12) : (1) Google 30 All the Way Those who from birth have been able to con- trol their sex desire; (2) Those who have continued in the virgin life because circum- stances have compelled it. It is as though there had been a secret understanding with their guardian angels, that he or she should be kept from lawless or even lawful carnal intercourse, because the desire to go all the Way would be greater. 15 The third class are those who may have lost their virginity through earthly marriaee, or through ignorant license, or through assault. But when they learn that, to go all the Way they must become as a little child, or youths and maidens whose virginity is inviolate, then their hearts are given to the pure Christ life, and God works with them to deliver them finally from all external temptation and carnal approach. 16 With all the zeal in you, seek to go into the Way by the Absolute Truth and per- fect obedience to the Christ. Many are trying to enter into this complete bliss, but only those will succeed who co-operate absolutely with Jesus Christ. 17 For Jesus Christ is the only one who has walked all the Way to translation in the sight of men. Enoch walked with God and pleased God and so was translated, but he took his secret with him. Therefore Jesus is the Way to be translated. ^nzd by Google All the Way 31 18 But the Ascension is more than transla- tion. Enoch and Elijah were translated into the heavenly realm, but they know not the Way to be translated back into the earthly realm, but this was what Jesus accomplished. "By me if any man enter in he shall be saved and go in and out. I am the Door." 19 The Gate and the Way are so narrow that only one can walk that Way, and only one can enter that Gate or Door. That one is the Christ and to enter that Gate and not be chal- lenged by the Porter (the Cherubims, Gen. 3:24; "To him [the Christ] the porter openeth," John 10:3) we must be able to give the password, "I am the Christ." 20 All mortality is in the broad road that leads to death and destruction. Back and forth, round and round they wander, yet the straight and narrow road runs right through and across the broad way, as the straight line runs through the serpentine "S" in the dollar mark. And any moment the wanderer can enter the Way if he will, "How far is it to Heaven? Not very far my friend ; A single, hearty step Will all your journey end." 21 All roads may lead to Rome but only one road leads to Heaven.

All the intelligence we have is God shining through. All the beauty is God-pres- ence. All the skill, bravery, strength, wit, talent, genius, are from the Christ-self, and nothing comes from our human self. 1 1 Watch that no comparisons rise in your thoughts and so begin to voice through your lips, between yourself and others, such as "I would never do that." 12 Ordinary boasting, the spiritual know how to avoid, but the subtle tributes to one's human position, name, ability, etc. — all, one must learn to repudiate, and this silently, lest even this act draw forth further expressions to be overcome.

Do not run away from your problems. Walk up to them and make yourself one with them through prayer and conscious co-operation with Christ, your yoke-fellow. 16 Be skillful so as not to antagonize oth- ers with your goody-goodness. Let not your good make others feel evil. 17 Let not your unselfishness hide from you the common forms of selfishness that rise from our beliefs in what are "our rights" and what "is due us." Watch self-congratu- lation upon "getting the best" of another, also the resentment and "blues" when another gets an advantage over you. 18 Not "What is there in it for me?" but "How can I serve another?"

Can you lose any- thing in reality? If you think you can, then lose it this moment in Christ. Let it go. Loose it. 21 Loose from your mind every sense of loss and be free. Then you'll find the reality of what you prize abiding with you forever and taking form after form. 22 Be fearless before public opinion. Be rightly indifferent to what "they say," so long as you know you are being true to your prin- ciples. 23 When you discover yourself thinking how you can please the ear of man and call forth his praise, fly to your heavenly Father, seeking his pleasure, to be honored only by him. Herein lies a secret of enlarging one's faith and power to believe. 24 Be finished with titles and the desire to be a leader, or to excel others in anything.

Though one have a correct belief, a faith that works miracles, a morality unimpeachable, a name for greatest philan- thropy, yet if Love is not complete the at- tainment will not be made. 2 This Love is a gift of God and it rests in us as the presence of our heavenly Father. By faith in it and prayer for it, this Love is uncovered and expresses itself to perfection. 3 It draws no line with anyone.

Progress comes when opposition presses us out of our smug contentment with mediocrity. 8 Those who are degenerating can do good to those who are good to them. But re- generation means doing good to those who know us not, who cannot make any return even to the extent of expressing appreciation. 9 All things are from the Lord, and if there be any opposition take it as from the Lord and all sting will be gone — peace only reigns. 10 Remember that all belongs to all and in giving, you are but passing one's own along Google 42 All the Way to him. In such giving there is no loss. Who gives to the Lord, gains. 11 It is written, Thou shalt lend to many, but borrow from none. Who lends to the Christ without thought of return shall be de- livered from imposition. 12 Take from your mind and heart all opposition, resentment, resistance and revenge, and the Way will become smooth so that you will walk it as upon winged feet. 13 If you can draw into your life a law- suit make nothing of it. Trust the Spirit to defend you and if judgment goes against you, let not a ripple disturb your peace. Rather, run out to meet the demand upon you by giv- ing more than is demanded. All these things are finished in mind. 14 What is well done in mind may never — if, to the world, not desirable — take place outwardly.

Let no thought place limitation upon your forgiving power. 21 Let your forgiveness be more than a sentiment; see it as Power, the dynamo that dispels the darkness by replacing it with the light of Truth. 22 Who judges not according to appear- ance, judges not at all. For appearances are the combination of good and evil. Seeing no evil we have nothing to judge. 23 Condemnation is death — a mental ston- ing that in the end slays the slayer, therefore in the Way of Life there is no condemnation, because in the Way of Life there is no death. 3y Google VI No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.

Its works last forever. 20 The Holy Breath and the Love Fire open your interior senses of seeing and hear- ing and your prophetic sense. 21 Waiting for the Holy Spirit to de- velop these, saves the devotee visions and ex- periences that are undesirable.

And as One Being only can he attain immortality in the flesh and the Ascension. 2 Jesus Christ demonstrated his identity with God and with Man, therefore his is the mind and the heart that thinks and feels truly. 3 Man is making the same achievement, thinks the same thoughts and feels the same feelings. 4 Therefore to cross the portals of Eden, or go through the Door of the Ascension, Man must go as Jesus Christ. 5 The name Jesus Christ is the password; to him that says, "I am Jesus Christ," the sen- tinel says, "He knows, let him pass." 6 But if he has not the "wedding gar- ment," (Matt. 22:11, 12) the body prepared for the heavenly consciousness, he cannot re- main, but is presently back in the ordinary thinking.

The appearance of becoming Christ is only in the flesh, the realm of demonstration. 1 1 God and Christ are the same. Jesus proved this, and the one who merges himself into Jesus Christ will prove the same truth. 12 Making the union with Jesus Christ is the beginning of unity with all humanity, whereby each is brought to his Father's house, fruits of the heavenly vine. 13 No other Master ever rose to the heights that Jesus achieved, therefore there is none can instruct us in that Way but Jesus. Other Masters may carry us far, but we aban- don them for Christ when we aspire to our Godhood while yet in the flesh. 14 All things are possible to the Christ consciousness, and all that such devotees may wish comes to pass while they put their wish into the form of prayer. 60 All the Way 15 Only God in you can reveal the truth that you are Christ 16 There is but one God and there is but one Man and he is the God-man, the reality of every human form. 17 Eat and drink the words of Jesus Christ, that have been passed down to us through inspirational memory, and as a spe- cial gift of God to his beloved world. 18 He who meditates upon Jesus' words, turning them over and over in mind; using them as his own; studying to get to the es- sence or spirit of them, will receive new thoughts every day, revelations and inspira- tions of untold value, making a life of infinite satisfaction. 19 Every tiny cell of your body thinks and can say, "I am." Every one must eventu- ally say, "I am Jesus Christ" in order to show forth the body of immortality. 20 Who loses his individuality in Jesus Christ will truly find it, and he who tries to maintain a separate individuality will fail. 21 Paul became great in the measure that he put on Jesus Christ. 22 To hide your life in Jesus Christ so that none can see you for the light of your Soul, is to find your name written in heaven ; and you yourself chosen by God to live, here and now, the immortal life, and be among those to usher in The New Age.
