The Search for Knowledge

The Book of Enlightenment - A guide to a better life

"Material life is but a moment…"

Cast not reflections upon thy neighbour or thy neighbour's house.

As ye sow so shall ye also reap, but let ye understand the fruit of the soil is governed by the Powers.

Cast thine eyes around my material friends, see the things that Power has done and the things left undone. In thy desire and search for knowledge thou shalt become wise and understand many things. He that searcheth shall find. Breach not thy neighbour]'s faith, if he desires to seek not, show him the light but do not drive him along the way.

Friends of the material plane thou hast been given the faculties that are distributed in various degrees according to the desire of Power. Learn to develop your faculties and encourage those that are to follow.

The light shall be given only to those who seek and are desirous of finding the truth. Thou shalt not be driven, thy understanding shall come with thy desire for enlightenment. Looking around my friends ye see the weak, those lacking in intellect, the mentally deficient. You wonder why? Blame not the Powers my friends, or thy parents, look to thy selves.

Thou hast been given the brains to develop. Thou hast work to do for the benefit and upliftment of material life. If thou rest by the wayside thy work is still unaccomplished, that work must at sometime be completed. This is a material world of progression. Ye each have a past. Leave ye not undone what ye ought to have done, for what thou hast to do thou will surely finish. If not on this plane then you must continue under the guidance of your Spiritual Advisors after your spiritual power has left the material flesh.

Lighten thy way by enlightening thy mind. Let thy thoughts be tender, researchive and progressive. March on my friends turn not. The light is clear faith, perseverance, tolerance, all seeds as reward will burst forth in splendour.

Your balanced material mind and body work more in unison, you share your strength so that each and everyone shall have an equal portion, learn to love and trust and progress side by side. Let your desire and ambition grow with the determination to fulfil the requirements of the Supreme Power.

Ye know my friends thy material bodies are reserved for the upliftment and enlightenment of material kind. A childish mind must be developed for the tasks of material life it is about to tread. So must the material mind be developed, exercised and given food for thought if not it remains the mind of a little child.

I return to you this evening to thank you for thy trusting faith. May that sturdy stride and pace never, never weaken. Your journey then will be short and sweet, sweetness comes with enlightenment, taking away the thought of personal spirit, bringing in its place a beautiful power controlled and governed by the Almighty Supreme Power whose justice we cannot doubt, the Power that controls life, material life, and your spiritual vibrations. The Power that controls all life of the soil and the surrounding life that is desirous of your upliftment and enlightenment of all earthly bodies.

Be thankful ye my friends that ye be no longer left in the darkness. The Power will grant thee thy reward when thou hast accomplished the tasks that ye in this room have been chosen to fulfil. Regret not the omission of thy earthly pleasures for thy stay on earth. The material earth is but a moment of time, thy earthly joys are very brief when compared with the wonderful joys of Spiritual power and advancement in the garden of eternal rest, beneath the soft warm sunshine of pleasure, the garden of love and peace.

There can be no peace, no rest until the work that has been allotted to the material bodies of your earthly sphere have been completed.

Remember my warning, material life is but a moment. You must accomplish a lot in a moment. If you leave undone what thou should have done, ye cannot hope to accomplish the task that has been given to you in a moment in a land where moments are long, very long.

So ye understand in a land of short moments, thou canst accomplish much in much less time than ye can in the land where moments are long. Understand thy darkness is short or long according to the work that ye have accomplished in the material moment.
