Compliance
The Book of Enlightenment - A guide to a better life
Sunday 22nd September 1935
The material mind like the breeze that fans the sphere of thy material flame sometimes bringing relief sometimes bringing to the material discomfort agony. Uncontrolled breezes uncontrolled minds.
A further explanation makes it necessary to turn to the more elementary section of our work of investigation and enlightenment to enable us to more fully understand that which ye so desire to understand. Ye like children whose knowledge is but limited oftimes are apt to misconstrue the real meaning of the words brought to ye through thy lack of elementary knowledge.
It is essential my material friends that ye shall realise the necessity of compliance endeavouring not to build or misconstrue with thy material minds the Words brought to thee. Be patient! Listen! Be tolerant and judge ye not that which as yet ye do not understand.
Material dost thou realise that thou wert permitted to exist to live before thou wert born. Strange words, strange words inconceivable to the material mind.
Let us return back to the garden of progression here we may find an explanation, let us go further to thine material gardens. There we observe the seeds of flowers the seeds of fruit being carefully planted carefully tended by various material gardeners with the attention and tender care, the choicest of various soils. Now we observe the results of our material people. Seeds planted in Mother earth unable to receive the necessary light are wont to perish and die. Other seeds thus planted in suitable soil and given the light attention and care yet fail to meet thy desires.
Now we gaze upon a garden amazed at the splendour and strength that every seed planted therein should blossom forth far surpassing our very own expectations.
Ye my material friends like a seed ye are planted the chosen seed, sometimes planted at random in fertile soil sometimes with care.
That my friends is an elementary stage that is deemed necessary that we shall turn to our endeavours to check the breezes of thine own material misconceptions of the Work and the Words brought to ye.
Realise the controlling forces of mankind these forces ye as yet have not journeyed far enough to fully understand let not the breezes of thine own material mind interfere with thine own progression, let not thy feet wander to strange paths follow closely the guiding forces that endeavour to lead ye safely to truth knowledge and enlightenment.
Marriage a material inclination governed by desirable or undesirable forces of wisdom forces without wisdom. Ye ask how the material recognise and realises the difference between these forces. That friends of the material plane is the progressive work which ye are now endeavouring to understand.
The gardener is God the attendants are God's Council. Ye are the desire ye are the soil ye are the possessor of the seed of material evolution. Ye are the soil barren or fertile as ye understand the soil of thy plane so ye shall find among ye soils and the necessity of understanding the seeds the necessary soil the necessary attention to produce results in the garden of flowers. But ye understandeth not the seed essential, the soil necessary for thine own personal development.
An example that the material mind may better understand the words that thou hast written this day therein ye shall find the lesson of understanding.
The gardener who understood and produced the results desired the gardener who understood not and was disappointed with the results.
This subject my material friends will take many years of study to fully understand so I will endeavour to briefly explain in as few words as possible relying on your own material wisdom to better understand.
Ye realise that a medium is a receptive source of controlling influences. Ye are all mediums sensitive in small or large degrees. Ye are all endeavouring to become more sensitive to the predominating controlling forces of material mankind. Material mankind is a desire promoted by a controlling force attended by a governing controlling force a gardener if you will producing flowers of splendour flowers so undesired, why undesired? Because the material receptive minds were better governed by a predominating force than the lonely gardener's force or likened unto the lesson brought unto thee thou then realise one gardener who understood didst produce many whilst the one who understood not did produce none.
Learn ye my friends to receive thy knowledge from those who understand. Realise the Voice of One amongst the Voices of many is but one small voice the Voice of God.
Thus thou now realise the seed did live ere the seed was planted, planted with a definite purpose controlled by a force oftimes oppressed discarding the controlling force by the interrupting breezes ever predominate in the material surrounding life is not produced from death, life is not born from a dead seed therefore the seed must be living before it is planted.
Marriage is sometimes but not often enough born in Heaven. What is Heaven, dost thou know thou art in Heaven. Dost thou understand the language of Heaven. Art thou sure that thine unaccustomed ears received the small but true voice of Heaven or the thunder of the forces of hell. This is thy progressive work.
The seed if not planted at random but with the care and knowledge of the Controlling Forces will produce flowers of splendour.
Listen and understand thine own Controlling Forces.
