The Material Shell

The Book of Enlightenment - A guide to a better life

Saturday 21st August 1937

In dissecting ones material self we are bound to realise that we are part of many component parts each life giving life unto life. That which we have recognised as self individual self becomes but a portion of many. Each and every portion controlled and governed by the Great Unseen Forces of God and God's Holy Influence. So ye that have wont to recognise ye as individual now realise that thou art but a part of thousands of millions of lives enclosed within a material shell, each and everyone only recognising their own individual existence. A Material shell germinated in the beginning, lives to be germinated without end. The objective of bringing this realisation to the minds of the material kind is to banish the fear of that which thou hast never possessed individual life accompanied by the fear of death (in directing ones material self).

Changes in thy modes of development may temporarily disorganise thine assembly but with the realisation that the changes are irreversible as in the flowers and fruits and other material within thy surroundings that thine eyes have been accustomed to the various changes and thereby recognising them as such and necessary for the ripening of the fruits.

With the realisation that thou within thee are but seeds governed and controlled as is the flowers and each stage brings ye nearer to the goal of perfection.

Why then dost thou fear the advancement towards thy progression - is it thy sins or art thou ashamed of the care that thou hast given unto the component parts within thee that comprises a body that thou hast termed self.

Art thou afraid of thy God?

Rejoice at thy delivery into the Higher circles of God's accepting influences. That is a question that will make it necessary for many hours thought.
