The Task
The Book of Enlightenment - A guide to a better life
Sunday 1st March 1936
It must be realised that during your researchive endeavours to penetrate the spheres beyond thy material mind must be subjected to many changes, many moods of acceptance and rejection in accordance with the influences predominating during the passages through the spheres in which thou must travel.
Thus the necessity of a permanent record of the journey to enable you from time to time to recall to your disturbed mental state that which thou hast left behind.
For it is well to remember the various stages of enlightenment to recall to thy memory the childhood days of interest in this work.
Forget ye not the concessions granted from time to time be they large or small and still remain. It is understood and registered by the controlling forces responsible for thy guidance that the work of the moment is but a silent preparation for that which is to be. Again I remind you of the necessity of tolerance obedience and faith. Compliance until the end. Be not dissatisfied with the silence that surrounds thee but prepare for the journey of enlightenment.
Realise that patience is akin to tolerance so it may be as well to add patience to our list of necessities in silent preparation for the journey. Each must laboriously support their burden each has been assigned a task which ye must patiently fulfil if ye also desire to accompany those who do desire. 'Tis well to understand many things ere ye are permitted to step into the darkness of the night.
It is easy for to say that which is necessary for you to do but it is hard very hard for you t comply in the manner that is necessary.
Realise then that which I would bring to your receptive wisdom not only must you comply but you must do so in accordance with your own material desires.
Force applied directed or uncontrolled each word brings to the material minds various conceptions various meanings in accordance to the sphere of acceptance.
Let us endeavour to understand a little more about Force. There are various forms of Force the most predominant is created within the obstinate material mind, there are condemning forces, that my friends is the acceptance of forces of lower orders, agreeable easily influenced and easily misused. It has its purpose, that purpose has been explained the incentive to receive and create sometimes to contaminate the material intelligence. These forces are the creation of many branches of Power but the root of the majority is personal greed and selfishness, it is a creation why the necessity of such a creation. It is a deep dark silent subject that which we can dwell but a moment but to briefly outline that which is necessary for you to understand. In your material surroundings you have seen how a discord can be created to the advantage of the creator for a discontented mind a greedy selfish mind is an easy mind to lead and govern and control by forces possessing not the full power of God.
These words are the words of truth thou art wise to realise the wisdom of tolerance and compliance. Allow ye not the seeds of discord to create within the powerful material mind that cloak of darkness. Thou who cast thine eyes to the Higher Forces of God must not permit such influences to darken thy path towards the light by the acceptance of such a thought.
Whilst we dwell upon the subject of Forces governed and controlled allow me the privilege of confirming a few verbal instructions that have been spoken of lightly this day. Forces applied and misapplied through the lack of understanding. Let me as your Spiritual Advisor confirm the remarks of the medium. It shall be written that at all times no personal direct thoughts shall be applied to the medium or that which represents the medium. Realise thy power when combined is a force from which Power is gathered and when directed wrongly is an obstruction when misapplied through lack of knowledge it is better for it not to be applied.
The medium at the present moment is but flesh and as a person no longer exists. The control of the mediums faculties are at all times subjected to the Influences of the controlling forces and by diverting the source of supply from whence we gather power you retard the influence necessary for support.
How to apply is of more importance as the source of power and force it is necessary that such forces shall at all times be governed within your circle, concentrate one with another. Should any disturbance affect the balance it is immediately recognised in the actions of the medium.
Concern yourselves with the task that you as a body have undertaken to fulfil each silently endeavouring to give power force and strength to thy neighbour within the circle hoping that thy neighbour will have the power force and strength to concentrate within thy selves to prevent diverting and thy feet from stumbling.
Forget the medium there is no medium ye are the source of supply we are the source of acceptance if it be not there our power is weakened.
Should a noise of such strength disturb thy mental balance that must be counterbalanced within thyself. When thou have controlled this tendency then thou will be permitted to travel. Endeavour to understand it is necessary to allow the material world to roll by caring not what happens for have ye not faith in the protecting influence around thee. Have ye not as a body enough support sufficient force that is required to keep the medium in a state of suspension. Worldly strife should be of little importance when you must give ere you receive. It is well to acquaint thyself with the various noises and disturbances possible for nothing will affect the medium if it does not affect you. What does it matter what people think if thou hast faith. Faith and trust is a Power of strength, strength in the face of death if necessary.
Faith trust compliance patience is necessary. It is well to accept the instructions as given, it is well to recognise the advisability of not proceeding alone in a land you are unacquainted with travel ye not ahead of the instructions. Abide by the teachings of those that bring to you the instructions necessary for your progression and who will also enlighten from time to time in accordance to the sphere of your own intelligence. The word sphere seems to create even now a different conception of what I would portray but for the moment matters not. Step by step ye shall climb when we have conquered that which is the key to success at all times compliance tolerance it will be easy for us to understand.
Time will not permit the necessary forces to speak further and avail myself of the privileges that have been granted to the medium receptive powers.
Judge ye not the sins of thy neighbours for it be not thy privilege to recognise the sphere of thy neighbours acceptance. Sin has not as yet been defined it can only be applied in accordance with that sphere in which thy progression permits ye to dwell. Sin is an influence a necessity. It may sound strange but if you pause to think forces control sin forces divert the original material intentions. One of the reasons have been given but it is one of many ye sin deliberately knowing thou dost sin. Transgressing rejecting the controlling influences that would guide thy footsteps in sin indeed for thou hast promised the Heavenly Controlling Forces to travel upwards ever upwards in search of the Light returning not unaffected by the obstructive breezes. It is sin to return sin in the eyes of God a lie in the eyes of God for thou didst speak the words and the words did bring to you the possession of strength a sacred possession to the road of Power.
To cast aside such Power such Force is to cast it into the face of those who granted ye the concession to doubt the source of inspiration is the root of sin.
The Forces of God the Forces of the Supreme Council of God be but a Force of a chosen few but a Force of Power and Strength whose silent endeavours is to bring light, wisdom and truth to the majority whose retarding influences are ever predominant, ever active ever multiplying day by day. Oh Disciples of Power may ye be granted the strength and wisdom to trust and comply faithfully without regret without expectations complying with the instructions that we impart to thee.
May the Lord and the Power of the Controlling Forces give ye the necessary strength to silently but determinedly to carry the burden ye have undertaken to support.
May your material determination be reinforced with the desire to bring to the masses the verbal instructions that have been brought to you so that those that do not understand shall be privileged to see the wisdom of that great organisation that silently fight the material opposition and the spiritual misuse bringing to the masses material and spiritual the true light and the necessity of compliance.
The words are easily spoken deeds are hard to apply it is wisely written that deeds count more than words.
At this period it is not necessary for you to judge that which is sin. The Lord God condemns not those who do not understand sin is in accordance with thine own understanding. God is a just God an understanding God each is judged accordingly.
You as a body are attempting to deal with Higher Forces and favourably but your lack of understanding is due to your own mental acceptance. A standard will be given you and you will be asked to live in accordance with that. It is necessary to discard your own thoughts so as to enable the Forces to guide you and we will travel quickly.
