The image of concentration

The Book of Enlightenment - A guide to a better life

Saturday 31st July 1937

Be it an image of clay stone wood or a picture an image of concentration to inspire to uplift to cast into the darkness of destruction an image of Power of life of death to give and to take as we desire determination and concentration. It has been spoken many times that the mind doth controleth the flesh uplifting the flesh condemning the flesh thus achieving the desire of thy intentions through determination. Thus I see portrayed before me a picture of simple loveliness to whom many pray and kneel in silent admiration a disciple of the past a disciple whose work has never been forgotten whose work is yet unfinished, a Power of God to whom ye will kneel in prayer. Those who truly doth comply shall not pray in vain for is it not an image a picture worthy of prayer. That it shall not be forgotten that in thy determination and concentration is at all but a clarion call to the controlling forces who wouldst accompany thy desires within the spheres of thy desires for one must sin to realise the sting of darkness and pain ere we realise the wisdom of compliance. Sin in actions or deed or thought the pangs of realisation to thee and the forces within thy sphere of acceptance a lesson but with regrets a lesson bringing the desire of progression.

Let us build within our minds another picture to achieve to conquer that which we have undertaken a journey of enlightenment in search of truth. If the power of concentration be but an image of clay then thou can condemn to death that which is thy intention. Thy concentration on the Image can uplift. 'Tis as thou desire. Thy thoughts are contaminated or cleansed in accordance with thine own sentiments and life. Thy material acceptance of such is the power of determination to control and to give and take as is thy desire in the cause of progression. Let thine and thy desires be desires worthy of the progression that thou dost seek to find.

Yea kneel in prayer whenever thou so desire. Let thy material mind concentrate upon the image or upon the picture of Christ our Lord for in the face of Saintly Holiness there shines the light of encouragement a Cleansing light an uplifting light. Let thy material mind be pure and clear. Let thy intentions be worthy of the Cause thou dost follow in the hour of need and darkness the vision of the Holy Face of God and the son of God a child whose fingers must oftimes be burned ere the wisdom to comply and obey the governing force of its parent a lesson well learned accepted as truth.

Ye who have advanced beyond the control of thy parents are thus guided by the forces of the spheres in which it is thy desire to travel casting aside parental warnings of those who dwell in the spheres of the higher forces.

It is apparent that the power of controlled concentration is a Power far surpassing thine own knowledge of its strength. 'Tis the Power which recall those within the spheres of thine own desires a Power to use for a cause of enlightenment a Power that is the creation of upliftment a Power that will lead to the Higher Spheres or plunge ye into the darkened Spheres of Hell.
