Secrets of Material Life

The Book of Enlightenment - A guide to a better life

Saturday 29th January 1938

Secrets of material life, 'tis perhaps as well that material existence is concealed from many. It is necessary that a chosen few shall secure the knowledge that is hidden from the vast majority. With the realisation and the recognition of the ruling active forces that assist in the control and evolution of material kind, there breaks the light and the knowledge of Power that plays an active and predominant role in the material existence. It is well to know in the beginning that man and material destroyeth himself by his own greed and selfishness. I have heard ye mention Tibet. It was my privilege during my sojourn upon the material plane to retire in the land that to you is named Tibet long before the wonders that ye speak of existed and it is my privilege to return to you from the Council of Power to bring to you the knowledge that I in days long gone by brought to Tibet. I teach those that are faithful and true and whose faith and trust is in the Power of God unshatterable by the storms of materialism.

The secret of strength mental and physical control is simple so simple so small as to pass unnoticed, unrecognised. But the smallest Power must begin with a seed and that seed is determination. So you are well advised to practice without cessation Determination Large or small beginning in infancy, growing day by day year by year determined to follow regardless of the obstructions of the material world. The instructions brought to you by the sources of Power.

Let us analyse the material faculty or mind ones material strength is grown and developed by determination ones compliance in the face of starvation by determination and one can die if so determined, determined to exist to live gathering the sustenance of life from the source of supply of your material activity, your controlling guiding influence. It is hard for the unbeliever to recognise a fact, but let us look into the mind of an unbeliever, low acceptance greed of their own desires. Water, water I crave water, I must have water, I will have water, the agonising demands of one dying of thirst. Could he but close his eyes and cry "Oh God in you I trust, friend of the influences I obey. I close mine eyes and for a sleep I pray let my mind blank remain until the help you will bring unto me will come. I sleep in a trance water I do not desire, I rest in the arms of God until ye do desire".

So he sleepeth he that trusts in God. Thus journey ye forth to him that desires. If he still desires his lips will be moistened by Gods Holy Influence and should his faith be strong he shall not require drink he shall return o'er the desert, his limbs mechanically propelled by his friends. This requires strength and determination.

Let us endeavour to analyse the material mind of today. Doubt and selfishness we must trust but we are afraid, afraid to trust, and in our weakness we disobey and tremble to disappear like the dust.

Ye can be that which ye are determined to be. Determination not wilfulness is the key. Determination to obey without hesitation.

Your own material mind is uncontrolled when you reject the influences that would guide ye through the thorny paths leave you to your desires ye are afraid worried. The mind controls the body and your physical strength. Ye have with your acceptance or rejection a vast accumulation of mental force at your disposal. Learn then to gather the fruits that have ripened in the generations of the past learn to trust in the wisdom and the guidance of those that have matured and added to their knowledge and their vast store of Power over many years of material activity.

Ere this circle is strong and equally balanced we have a necessary operation to perform as painful as your mind recognised in the future every night you will be asked to insert a small lancet in the middle finger of each others hand and into the finger and hand of each of your members shall join in the stream that shall flow from one to the other. How to join in the strength and determination this is best told unto you by your own Spiritual Advisors who are well versed in the appliance of such. One should remember that determination is not wilfulness 'tis but the compliance with everlasting faith and trust without question without reward the Work of God. All this and many things akin have been told unto ye through the words that you have written. Recognise that which is and has been written as the undeniable truth and the Words of God. Follow without question in trust. One does not die until ones faculties and strength is destroyed by the acceptance of ones own desire. One can live and not eat could ye have faith and trust in the sustaining Power of Gods Influence. One can shelter from the rain snow and wind in the faith and trust in God. One can live though the Knife of the enemy though the knife of the enemy pierce the flesh and the heart for cannot it be sealed and healed by the Holy Influences of God, is not pain that of thine own acceptance.

What brings you pleasure in the mind of another is accepted as a misery.

Have faith and trust in the influences that guide thee and live a long and useful life.
