Life

The Book of Enlightenment - A guide to a better life

Sunday 28th November 1937

Life a sphere of enlightenment the development of a seed controlled and governed by the gardeners our personal advisors for the progressive influence of flesh. In the sphere ye now recognise strange seeds unrecognised by the eyes that are privileged to understand that which dwells in the sphere of ones acceptance.

The very food that ye enjoy were your eyes and lips strangers to the taste and the likeness unrecognised unaccustomed to the flavour would sometimes be rejected and repulsed as undesirable. It is only that we have acquired the taste and recognise that which we see that impels us to understand many things that are apparently repulsive. You will meet as you advance towards the higher spheres of progression. It must be understood as man as you recognise today the likeness of yesterday is vastly changed we endeavour to collect the wisdom of the past. Your present stage and the development of the future are possible by the lessons learned and the progression achieved in the spheres of development and acceptance where the formation of mankind was totally different to that which ye now recognise as men. Be ye then prepared to meet the advisors of the past whose knowledge acquired through the spheral life of many thousands of years have surely gathered knowledge for the progressive evolution of material mankind. Science and professors of your day are but children in a material school who receive the inspirations that bring them the knowledge the acceptance of an idea the faculties to develop that idea controlled and governed by masters and professors who lived many thousands of years ago the beginning of that ye are wont to recognise as self.

Seeds of life seeds of wilful desire seeds of greed and selfishness as in the foods whose tastes we acquired let us recognise that progression and influence that brings to us the idea the desire the strength.

Are we accustomed to the taste do we enjoy our religion is it a task or is it a pleasure. A task if we wish to make it so for it is something strange. There lingers the doubt the lack of trust there lies the hesitation to comply for does it not interfere with the taste of that which we recognise as joy.

Our tastes differ as do our modes of acceptance those who live for God in the moments they can spare from the tastes of their desires live only to deceive themselves for the joys and the flavours of the love of God pass the hungry lips repulsed and unrecognised. Pause to realise seek and ye fail to find the security in thy sunshine of the past. God's Holy Influence offers to thy lips everlasting joy and life as a fruit strange to thy faith. A task is not enjoyment is not a pleasure. Let not the duties of thy office become a task or thy days as a soldier of God have finished. Ye who find pleasure in the garden of evil are privileged to partake of the food of plenty and sin to later regret the pains and anguish in the hours of realisation when today comes the dawn of truth that the food that tempted ye to stray from the path and the truth of God's Holy Influence an influence unrecognised by many. Ye toil and ye struggle ye fight and ye work to possess what ye covet whence the friendly hand of God offers to your lips free from strife the very thing that ye so desire in a form a guise or a shape that ye fail to recognise as a fruit, a pleasure but prefer to accept it as a task.

So endeth the first lesson of life.
