The Garden

The Book of Enlightenment - A guide to a better life

Sunday 18th August 1935

The gardener who oft produces many things from the soil of the material garden planting the seeds with loving care collecting the fruit and the flowers produced thereby destroying as he desires that which a few moments ago he watched and cared for so tenderly. Collecting for the needs of the requirements of the soil at various stages of growth.

How likened unto the material garden is thy material self, the Powers of God thy gardener planting ye the fruitful seeds of material existence gathering as he desires as he requires the fruits developed or unmatured to meet the requirements of the Power of God. Ye whose material mind is wont to stray far in the desire for knowledge is likened unto the weed the unruly weed out of control of the gardeners care.

Now thy straying footsteps has led thy feet upon the journey that thou dost not fully understand.

Come ye back my children to the garden of progression stray ye not, know that ye are a seed of material a material seed 'tis desirable that ye remain known as a seed for to lose thy personality at the commencement of thy progression would retard thy progress.

Personality, every seed planted by the Powers of God shall possess an individuality not as thou would have desired but a personality, personal perfume a voice a material deformity, a smile, a footstep, a mannerism, a movement, an action. A personality for thy knowledge and for the knowledge of those whose material intellect can conceive nothing other than a material personality then thou shalt enter that sphere as is thy desire. A sphere within the understanding of thy desire there thou shalt recognise that personality is as thou desire.

Personality is a Power granted ye by the Grace of Power God, a characteristic a force creating that personality until thy wisdom has created a desire for truth and light ye shall retain thy personality. Aye ye whose eyes are accustomed to recognise thy material friends shall again be permitted to materialise spiritually and materially but momentarily otherwise the lack of knowledge the lack of truth would not be recognised by those who do not understand.

Therefore it is necessary that in thine infancy thou shalt retain thy personality to the material but to the spiritual shall come the knowledge of a predominating Power that shall grant to thee the wisdom of a desire to journey beyond this sphere of personality.

Ye the fruits the flowers of God's wonderful creation have but commenced to live once it is thy desire to think that thou are about to die. Thy seeds are not planted for material existence but to become a flower of usefulness a flower of creation not just with a desire of controlling and governing forces upon this material plane.

Ye shall journey to a land of Power and wisdom a material land that lies beyond thy knowledge with wisdom far surpassing thine own, but first thou must learn to realise that thou art but a portion of the wisdom necessary that is required for the completion of a great desire.

It is well that ye material recognise personality for thy material brain it is impossible its seeds so weak and un matured to understand that which thine eyes and thy material faculties are unaccustomed to understand so ye may retain the desire to retain thy personality for thereby it shall be easy for thee to tread the path until the Light of wisdom and desire travel beyond thy spheres to amass the knowledge and truth.

Come ye my friends let us return to the material garden where thy material knowledge dost permit ye to understand a garden produced and cared for by thine own material self as it is with pride and satisfaction upon that which thy attention has produced there thou shalt find amongst the fruit and flowers many undesirable flowers that retard the development and growth that ye so desire for is it not thy intention to produce only what is desirable. Friends be not an undesirable production lest ye like the flower of the material gardener cast aside unwanted undesired so that that is desired shall blossom and flourish. Know ye, ye be all welcome to become blossoms, the pride of a gardener the Power the Supreme Power of God.

The Almighty Force seeking compliance attention and the desire to receive and understand the governing forces so necessary for the splendour of thy Spiritual blossom.

Pray ye my friends that the strength and wisdom may be granted ye that ye may better understand the necessary influences essential for thine own personal development and progression.

Pray ye for the knowledge and to truly understand the meaning of the language in which the words are spoken for it is known by the words that hast been written that thou shall understand that which ye so desire to understand with the strength of thine own wisdom.

Ye that understandeth personality yet unable to recognise the personality of the Force of Power shalt therefore be permitted to recognise personality until the wisdom of thou desires are developed sufficiently to realise something akin but deeper than personality.
