The Fear of Life

The Book of Enlightenment - A guide to a better life

Thursday 25th February 1937

Fear of life. As soldiers the pain thou art called to bear is of thine own seeking. Couldst thou but trust in God and the Powers of God and see the light through the darkness of thy material errors thy material thoughts and doubts and fears plainly portray thy spiritual omissions to understand the guiding influence of God our Saviour. In thy material doubt thou art wont to enlarge upon the material troubles and trials thou art permitted. Fears material fears why should the true believers in the Power of God house the fears of a material existence canst thou not realise that in the past that many of the material expectations vanish ere they did materialise. Thus thy fears were without foundation just a troubled mind. In the guiding controlling influence in the spheres of acceptance cast aside fear throw aside the worries. Build ye a strength reinforced by the armour of God and the Power of God. Thy faith and trust will annul the fear of mankind. Ye who trust in God and live in accordance to God treadeth not on the thorny path but whose feet are protected by the petals of the blossoms it is as you desire if ye chose the thorns and cast aside the helping influences of those around ye the pain is thine and of thine own seeking but those who so desire may enjoy the fragrance of the flowers of the garden of God whose blossoms are stripped of the piercing thorns. So simple so true but so hard for the material mind to realise, materialism and selfishism. Self first and the Power of God as a pastime, canst thou hope to mature as a blossom with a sting of wilfulness thou art to plunge into the thorns of misunderstanding thou art permitted to bravely write those who fear the material agonies of that which may be or may not be but cast aside their faith in God by the acceptance of the thoughts of darkness and lower spheres thus casting aside with a force undesirable their faith and trust in God. Oh materials the energy expended in promoting the agony of material suffering by thine own wilfulness to plunge into darkness among the stinging thorns that penetrate thy soul realise thou art but portraying thy weakness in thy faith in God.
