The Strength to Endure

The Book of Enlightenment - A guide to a better life

Friday 1st January 1937

Thy strength to endure. A material prize. Thy burdens that thou art ordained to carry can be lightened and endured when thy faith in the controlling Forces of Power is un shattered. Friends of the material plane who are wont to endeavour to penetrate the veil of the great beyond without the necessary receptive ability that brings to you the realisation of the impossibility of such a journey without the knowledge of the influence and the Power of the Influence that waiteth with silent patience until thou hast by thy faith and thy knowledge fitted thyself for the journey of thy desire. Step by step word by word the truth of thine insignificant self dost penetrate slowly thy material mind. 'Tis well spoken he who applauds thine own success and endeavours robs thy guiding influence of the labours of good intentions. Whenst thou can realise that thou art but the seeds of power, small, guided and tended and governed at all times by those whose powers far surpasses thine own intelligence whence thou canst praise the powers and not thyself then and then only will thine eyes penetrate the clouds of darkness in thy selfish vanity in thy progression. Trust in God and the Powers of God ye who applaud thine own endeavours.

Thy strength is my strength. Could thou but realise the true meaning of those words. How easily wouldst thou penetrate the darkness to the light of thy desire. Thy strength is my strength. Let us analyse the meaning of the words the words of the Powers of God.

Thy strength to cast aside thine own importance. Thy strength to realise the Power of God. Thy strength to cast aside material temptations. Thy strength to rely upon the guiding influences at thy disposal. Thy faith in God and the Power of God would enable me and the other influences of God to approach ye in a language ye could not fail to understand for dost thou not realise whilst thou dost desire to remain wrapped and enshrouded in thine own importance thou dost dwell in a sphere of darkness.

Lend thy ears open thine eyes that the realisation may penetrate and with the acceptance of thy duties and thy faith to fulfil the obligations that is thine to thy God. Allow those, the influences that guide thee the privileges to lighten the burden that is thine.

The strength without thy faith is like the waters in a vessel broken. Faith trust in God the Power of God. Ye who suffer the material agonies ease thy burden by thy faith and compliance not with thy voice but with thine own intentions thus raising thy material standards to a higher sphere of acceptance as thou so desire so shall thou raise in accordance with thy strength to trust in the higher Influences in thine own sphere of desire.
