The Material Surroundings
The Book of Enlightenment - A guide to a better life
Sunday 3rd November 1935
Ye who journey across the planes of material darkness accompanied by doubt and misunderstanding rest thy tired soul thy blistering feet realise the foolishness of thy journey realise aye even the worm of the soil burrows into the earth for a purpose finding at will if it so desires the moisture necessary for its sustenance a lowly worm with a definite desire a knowledge an understanding of that which is necessary for its survival.
Journey not blindly but with a definite intention. Where oh where dost thy weary feet lead ye to wander my friends. Dost thou belittle thy intentions lower than the intentions of the worm. Experience and knowledge is the material answer, how unthinkingly how blindly thou hast accepted thy experience thy knowledge. Were I or the Powers higher than I to ask thee for thy confirmation for thy knowledge or the Powers that permitted ye the faculties that permitted ye to enjoy thy material activity thy definite confirmation of the Powers of God. In thine idleness in thine accustomed mannerism thou would reply the Force of God is enjoyed by many. The Powers of Hell predominate over the majority. How canst thou lie to thy God to deceive thy brother for they are the words of uncertainty words unaccompanied by actual experience, for thou possesseth not experience.
The majority desire not experience relying on the acceptance of the words of those who likened unto thy selves fail to understand who likened unto ye journey far o'er the darkened planes of material misunderstanding unable to realise Force or misconstruing the source of Force the impelling Force of nature.
Ye my scribes shall return to the words of wisdom and truth brought to ye by another Force other than the present Force that is permitted to address you. Realise the necessity of combination of such Force. In that which thou hast written has been spoken of how the material has o'er the planes of darkness plane of desert sands where previous footsteps are soon destroyed leaving not the footprints of those that have gone before leaving ye as materials uncertain of the direction of the path that leads towards knowledge. Thou surely must with the little material knowledge with the little material wisdom that thou dost possess realise that the time has arrived when thou must call thy material brethren into council. Let thy council desire to know thy brothers intention search ye well each in turn for the foundation of that brothers knowledge.
Cast aside thine own material security ye liken thy brother have travelled far in darkness for thou didst knoweth not whence thou didst journey. Realise ye art lost unfitted to advise to govern to control to lead thy material brother who is tired and weary by the wayside like thyself to a destination unknown. Dost brothers of the council thy material council know with certainty can they prove to the council the investigating council whence thou dost travel so energetically to whence thou dost rush scampering onwards ever onwards endeavouring to find what?
Some will say we pray to God and pray to the Power of God. God will not forsake those who believe for what thy pray for. Pray not with thy tongue let thy inward desires be thy prayers speak ye not of that which ye understandeth not ere like sheep others in material darkness will follow following blindly a leader unfit without the confirmation leading ever leading towards misunderstanding.
Thou wilt enjoy the darkness death where is thy sting a prayer thou knowest not apparently thou knowest not thy material council realise not that among ye, ye believeth governing controlling masses leading onwards towards an unknown destination. Pause realise the wisdom of knowledge true confirmation facts listen with an unbiased mind to the words of wisdom of every member every brethren that is permitted to bask in the warmth of thy council of fire. Move ye not ere thou dost scorch thy wings thy material frame until thou hast assured thy material self that those who desire to believe who bring the knowledge speak to ye with true confirmation of that which they with wisdom bring the knowledge without fear of contradiction. Then rise from the council and journey forth with controlled footsteps with a definite intention knowing whence and why thou dost desire to journey. Chose thy leader thy material guide with careful thought. Chose ye not blindly chose ye not by appearance by the surroundings by the cloak of splendour for the wealth the material wealth possessed. Remember it is written the most beautiful flower is often found in the darkness amidst the slime, there its perfume its splendour bursting forth bringing joy, light and pleasure amidst the darkness the filth and the mire. Let that be thy lesson my material friends liken thy leader unto the flower. Realise the council the governing council liken unto thyself knowing not with certainty with truth the direction the foundation the purpose the facts of thy material journey.
Children of God children of the Power of God unable to recognise the Force of God desiring not to understand relying upon uncertainty something without foundation. Following into darkness call it Hell for Hell is unknown for thy lack of desire to understand.
Ye who have journeyed far and grasped so little of the fruits of thy journey surely must have acquired sufficient wisdom to realise there are more paths than one realises. All material paths lead ye to death so called death. Ye surely will have realised in many of the wanderings thou hast travelled long with weary steps to an unknown destination finding not what thou didst seek recognising the fruits of thy travel and the knowledge thou did acquire, but what knowledge? The knowledge to realise the uselessness of thy journey. Wouldst thou tempt thy material brother to travel those weary planes suffering tired feet receiving in return an unsatisfactory conclusion as to the worth of that journey.
Each of ye of the council who are permitted to travel and realise that they are strong and powerful enough to say I may be powerful I may possess the strength and material knowledge but I possess not the knowledge of the governing forces. I possess not the knowledge sufficient to lead ye o'er the planes of darkness towards the Power of God. Aye likened unto my father and my fathers father. I speak of the powers of Force for which I personally am unable to confirm but I pray in my weakness my spiritual weakness to understand the governing forces that will bring ye the Light of God.
Condemn ye not that which thou dost not understand. Listen with an unbiased mind to the wisdom and truth of those who like ye have wandered o'er the planes of darkness therein to realise the truth that the journeys were the journeys in vain.
Let us become material forces forget ye the spiritual gaze ye at the activities, the material wisdom of thy brethren. Knowledge without confirmation no proof no facts desiring not facts. Ye have leaders of greed and power who desire to possess without the desire to share to help to assist a desire to condemn a desire for material splendour. Oh yes even the leaders of thy so called religions oftimes bask in splendour surrounded by ease and luxuries while the sheep in the fold wither in agony. Leaders whose desire as a disciple of God is to enjoy the comforts of material luxury.
Ye disciples who pride in thy vanity thy selves on the knowledge of thine own material wisdom follow like sheep such leaders desiring greed and luxury in the face of material agony.
The Voice of Power brings you words of truth without desire for gain.
In this material summary as we gaze upon the material surroundings we surely realise the predominancy the majority whose one desire is luxury superiority eventually expiring at the end of material existence bringing to them the realisation of what? Darkness and misunderstanding but still grasping for knowledge and truth still desiring a material life leading them to Hell if you wish but not to Heaven.
Material percentage would proclaim with surity 90% of the governing influences are influences of misunderstanding.
Occasionally one is permitted to wander unknowingly to stumble towards the light and thereby acquire the knowledge the truth the warmth the splendour and security of God. Could ye all be permitted to stumble towards the light.
Realise then that 90% of those who travel the material journey eyes blinded knowing not to whence thy did journey who journeyed in vain still desire knowledge at the expiration of material activity still grasping a compelling force a force without the knowledge of truth a force an overwhelming force a force obstructing the Force of God.
Ye who knoweth not the direction and whence thou wilt be permitted to see the light are well advised to listen and to use thy material wisdom as to the advisability of the acceptance of Force the controlling Force material and spiritual that thou dost accept. Chose thy Leader with the care and wisdom if thou would save thy tired feet and wouldst not journey in vain.
One leader speaks to ye with uncertainty without the confirmation of facts, the other comes forth humbly and says Brothers materially and spiritually I have seen the path the light the shortest path follow me with the desire to comply and thou shalt also be permitted to see as I have seen the worthlessness of the present journey.
Follow me my friends I will lead ye to truth and Power the Governing Force that thine own material desires have striven in vain to find.
