Self Deceit

The Book of Enlightenment - A guide to a better life

Saturday 30th October 1937

Ye who be within thy self deceived deceiveth only thyself if thou dost undermine thine own intelligence.

Let us not waste those precious moments in idle resistance lying unto ourselves against our better judgement when one could help oneself to rise to much higher spheres if we but had the determination to proclaim that which lies dormant within our true concept of God's Holy Forces. Thy mind is the foundation of thy activities thus do not let thy mind falsely portray thy actual self for thou dost but waste and will regret the precious moments that would have lifted ye had ye but profited by the inspirations of thy innermost self. A force for God a force for thy brothers portrayest the true acceptance of what thou art.

Ye who are spiritual and are gathered together as in a school of enlightenment are in a position of realisation thou hast cast aside all thy earthly omissions and are now prepared to journey to the higher Spheres. Aspire to rise as in the material thou live and thy actions and thy deeds lift thee as is proclaimed by thy acceptance.

Thou hast realised the foolishness of self deception thou hast realised the joys of activity thus recognising the controlling Power of God. Look upon thy material shell as sins that thou hast cast aside. Ye who now possess the pure influence of progression soil not spoil not that which ye now treasure show thy gratefulness to the Powers that be by casting aside the temptation of self preservation for that which is thine to enjoy is a gift from the Powers. Turn not aside those that are worthy at all times use thy Power in the work that thy acceptance of the light brought to thee during thy sojourn in the darkness of realisation.

Thus ye who now realise that the Power thou dost possess can bring upliftment or the darkness of realisation akin to thy acceptance with the knowledge of the truth which was borne unto thee whilst thou slumbered in the darkness.

Go ye forth and use thy Power as a guiding influence to those who enact a lie within themselves. Bring thy influence and the strength that will be granted unto thee to break down the stubborn resistance. Create the incentive within everyone that thou dost contact to speak the truth within one self for in truth when one is not intoxicated with the blinded contaminated selfish tuition whose foundation is greed. Accepteth within the truth of ones foundation the Influence of God.

Sinner thou dost deceive thyself as in thy dreams thou dost portray in accordance with that which is thy desire and is thy translation. Dream not for as in a dream 'tis of thine own seeking as in the material mind disturbed and unbalanced one dost dream oftimes foolishly but intelligently adapted to suit thine own acceptance of that which is thy desire to be.

A dream materially is but the acceptance of the material inspiration. Ye who live to be guided materially must suffer the bruises of misunderstanding for those who dost travel in the darkness guided not spiritually but materially or selfishly.

Let us face the tasks that lie before us and realise it is but a journey in preparation for the entry to the path of glory. Allow God's Holy Influence to supersede thine own inclinations say unto thyself I am the clay that supporteth the flower I am preparing for the garden of God which into my care he has given. Those guiding influences that watch o'er my activities are better fitted to understand that which in my weakness I dost fail.

Put thy faith and thy trust in the Power of God defy all influences materially or spiritually to interfere with thy determination to succeed in thy endeavours to please thy God.

Thus the object of the words I have spoken and in the future to be written and proclaimed amidst the gatherings that will assemble in the future must realise the foolishness of self deception.
