Strange the Ways of God

The Book of Enlightenment - A guide to a better life

Sunday 5th December 1937

Strange are the ways of God. Hast thou not realised that which to thee is but a change a season winds and rain sunshine and snow each governing and controlling the gardens of thy material soil bringing life and death year by year to the beauties of the flowers that blossom therein. Autumn the leaves the flowers that dost wither and die but to multiply for its seeds are scattered o'er the prepared fertile soil thence the blossom enshrouds thy garden intensified of life there found death then life the everlasting multiplication of life if not wilfully destroyed. Many of the strange things and the knowledge of worlds beyond the evolution of the seed not the flesh as in the seed we seek to find the strength and progression from the flesh planted in the garden prepared worthy of evolution and progression that are worthy to appease our God. Thy material flowers are life as is thy flesh thy flesh is as the soil the soil is life for each and every component formed therein live in a sphere of evolution of their own acceptance thus we journey to realise that material is a tree a flower but a portion of many an assembly in a lower sphere of progression. Ye who are visited by forces recognised by the Power of God who understand the desires of God in contact with the various forces of enlightenment each and every force is a worker in the desire that Gods Will be done. There are breezes of flame that are the enemies of God unintelligent that are retarding the work of the guiding forces. The opposing force is necessary for thy strength and materialism to portray thy weakness. It is true thou art surrounded by the foe of self and the desires of self. How strong is thy determination to fight and retard the tempting influences that leads thy steps from the influence of God's protecting sunshine. Ye who recognise not the language of inspiration live but in a world of darkness an unenlightened world of self. Ye who recognise but self supporteth the growth of selfish seeds within thy care seeds that are scattered to bring destruction unto the flowers that struggle in their endeavours to reach the world of enlightenment. Realise that the instrument of thought is sharper than the spear of destruction. It is as were ye to take and burn the beauties with a sword of flame whence thou dost pollute and contaminate the soil within thy care, thou dost destroy a garden of God. Then my friends let us gather and cherish our little gardens that there shall be gathered the seeds of beauty and strength that the flowers produced shall rise on wings of joy freed from the toils of greed.

Gather together your gardens tender with care for there thou dost produce a soul compiled by the influences of many who didst dwell with the soil of thine own material self, recognise that which ye know as self never and never will exist. Thy complete enmassed assembly may take shape and form recognised by material eyes but the eyes of thine enlightened brethren can penetrate beyond that blanket of deception. Ye who are but the soils described in a material garden thy material shell is but sands on thy shores unto the eyes and the Power that visited unto ye are but as the soil the sands of the desert thy sands that produce a flower a soul a flower worthy of acceptance or a weed to be rejected. The petals of thy soul may be withered and torn but there we find a seed desired or a seed of contamination to be destroyed. There are those who read the lines thus written will desire to find and misunderstand the word destroyed. Destroyed is thy term within thy material understanding but destroyed to live and progress after the darkness of realisation, destroyed to find another mothering soil that will tender and care for the unwanted weed to produce a flower to appease thy God. Each germal soil within itself is a garden of progression and evolution sensitive to the influence of control as thy material self is sensitive of Higher Forces within the sphere of thy acceptance. Ye who labour in God's garden of evolution and progression of the Power of God labour in the cause and upliftment and progression, should ye err from the ways of righteousness and stray towards the path of burning flame. Canst thou in thy selfish greed drag those willing helpers towards the flame of destruction those who have suffered not in vain to reach the garden of spiritual understanding for your enlightenment and those who understand.

I advise ye to read frequently that which ye have written and live not for thyself but for thy soul to care for and love the garden that is the producer of the flowers that are controlled and governed by thine own material power in turn that is governed by spheres higher and lower in accordance to thine own acceptance.

A necessity not for a moment not for a day but for always to collect the sunshine of cleanliness of material mind body and flesh that is the garden that is thy privilege to possess. Canst thou show with pride to thy God to the friends of God thy garden of beauty or a garden of weeds. Life materially within the Sphere of thy knowledge is self naught beyond self is recognised that which is yours. Self is but the beginning of a Force a Power that will be accepted or rejected in the cause of evolution and progression in the final garden of love. There are outcasts in thy material soil the insects the worms who many despise when found therein dost thou desire to be as such in the garden of God or dost thou desire to be a flower in the eyes of sunshine in the garden of God. It is for thee my friends and for thee alone to accept or reject. Cry ye not in agony in thy pain in the darkness but as the worm in the soil of thy material garden thou must endure that which is the sphere of thine own desire. Let me and the forces that gather around from the Sphere of the Council of God bring ye the sunshine that will produce the desire for ye to enter the garden worthy of the acceptance of Forces beyond thy control.
