The Mirror of Reflection
The Book of Enlightenment - A guide to a better life
Saturday 30th July 1938
As in your material sphere it is recognised in the spiritual that compliance, obedience, attention to the smallest details attention must be paid. Yea it is the small things in life spiritually and materially that are often forgotten and neglected. It is from the small things that we are wont to gather the strength for our mighty endeavours. Ye who would travel far must attention pay to every detail large or small or by the neglect or disobedience to harmonise in accordance with instructions given from time to time, ye but retard your own progression.
I gaze with seeing eyes upon those akin to thy material sphere to whom obedience and compliance is a pleasure not a task something to be remembered and never forgotten. Ye must learn to realise ye enter the sacred presence of the Sphere of God's Holy Presence - nearer to God to thee - far nearer than ye as yet have had the privilege to reach and ye fail to remember that silence is desirable prior to the approach of the influences that we so desire. Thoughtlessness neglect disobedience, ye who would travel through the School of Knowledge must learn to comply in the smallest detail materially not only spiritually, daily hourly. Each moment. Your material life is very short indeed your endeavours your victories take but a moment and yet in that moment ye who fail to comply but retard your own progression. It is idle talk to think in terms of material flesh it is sad to realise ye talk in terms of greed ye who desire to profit from the words of God to sell unto the masses the knowledge ye would possess shall linger in the darkness until ye realise that compliance and obedience to thy God will bring the true fruits the sustenance to thy hungry lips not all thy material gold and all thy material struggles for the possession that thy neighbour has amassed through the turmoil and greed, God forsaketh not the true and faithful.
Thy feet have not yet suffered the pangs and thorns, if there be among ye that cannot bear the strain to support those who bear the pain, open thine eyes and look into the past tabulate thine own omissions and thy duties and tasks.
Look into the Mirror of Reflection thine own reflection.
Care for the Soul and not thy bodies build for thyself an image that will reflect a credit to thee and thy God and help those who are weakened by the struggle through the darkness and failed to comply, build within ye a wall of strength a strength unshatterable, build a determination to fulfil the conditions through the moments of life that ye are called upon as a duty to God to accomplish ere ye are fitted to gaze in contentment at thine own reflections and saw therein a vision purified and clean saying unto ye here am I my soul born within the flesh with the correcting influences with the strength and determination with the acceptance of thy faith in the Holy Influences of thy God.
Ye who would shine as a flower of beauty clean and pure need not the guise of an angel and need not the shelter of a Temple go ye through the material realm the sphere in which ye now dwell, build within the portals of thy material self the correction so necessary and yet so absent fully explained in the many versions to you as a body.
I gaze upon the many Spiritual Spheres in the Sphere very near to the Sphere of thy present enlightenment and there I see and recognise a growing flower of obedience. I see those who have arisen from many darkened hours, each hour of darkness equivalent to the whole of thy material life then realise the necessity of the small body of thy circle that must rapidly expand.
By a small omission of compliance ye condemn the millions of kindred spirits, souls to a prolonged darkness when but a moment of life material life can raise those that are stricken to the garden of light and everlasting life, through thine own simple endeavours to realise the small task that God has asked you as a unit as a body to perform. In return thou art promised the protection of the Influence of God and if thy lips remain unmoistened it is that thy head has turned away from the life giving waters that God has placed within thy reach. Thence thou must realise thy thirst is but as ye desire. If thou fail to comply fail to recognise the duties of compliance if thou dost fail to fulfil thy duties to God.
Will ye in justice to thy fellow materialists demand of God that which thy brother have failed to receive, art then to be privileged to enjoy the fruit of the garden of protection when thou hast failed to protect those souls who struggle in the darkness awaiting the words of enlightenment.
Ye have been chosen as a clarion of the Influence from whence shall come words of Truth and words of Truth are few when compared to the false prophets and the false words exaggerated by thy material teachers. Realise the vast assembly of such teachers who are in abundance through the material sphere preaching to the masses preaching to the lower spheres words of exaggeration misunderstood words that can bring no foundation for proof. Here as a small body of many such bodies ye are asked to build within this body strength determination compliance building an unshatterable faith in thy God powerful and strong. The energy to supply the demands of the small however small must be exacting. Build thy determination so as not to disappoint thy Teachers for thou then but disappoint thyself. These words that have been written shall reflect as thou gaze upon thine actions and recall to thee the necessity if ye would drink the wine and have the fruits of satisfaction. Neglect not to reach forth thy hand but let thine hand be the determination to fulfil not as a task please not as a duty but an act of love. Ye are not asked to remove thy sandals or thy garments to tread the thorny path or face the bitter winds or the blinding sun but to show thy faith, from time to time asked to perform a necessary exercise. If a task is given unto ye do not slumber or rest for a moment or day remember thy duties to God and the necessity for compliance for thine own progress and enlightenment it is for thine own for ye who disobey slumber towards death and when death approaches and agony threatens thy material assembly that beautiful soul that created the desire within thine heart to protect and prolong thy soul the beautiful structure so called self. Neglect not thy duties. In thy selfishness to dissect the words of truth that many times have brought unto ye the truth that the soul has developed.
It is true too true that thy material greed oftimes are wont to cast into the spheres of darkness the flower of thy soul through the worship of the flesh. Canst thou not recognise and realise the necessity of the beauties of the Influence of God. Dost thou discredit the Presence of God. Oftimes thou art wont to accept but many times thou art forgetful of the presence of the Powers that guide thee and thine through the pitfalls. Yes ye are asked to carry a burden perhaps more than thy neighbour or the neighbours neighbour but thou hast asked for that privilege. Thou has prayed for that privilege. Dost thou desire that God shall see the regret in thy soul for the privilege that he granted unto ye or is it that ye desire to return to the privilege of darkness.
Ye who desire to worship the flesh and thus cast to the darkness thy soul ye may return but ye who care to accept the faith and the trust in the Power of God then tarry not in thy intentions to build within thee a wall of determination to fulfil and comply for hast it not been spoken that should your feet stray but for a moment from the path of righteousness the path of progress that thy wings shall be scorched by the retarding influence of thine own acceptance. Turn not thy face o'er the path thou hast left behind look forward with renewed strength to the path of light. There ye will find the jewel of preservation the strength that ye seek and ye that seek shall not fail to find. The Power of God that bringst thy material food and energy to live shall bring ye the necessary sustenance in accordance with thine own endeavours to comply. Ye are fed as ye feed and care for the souls in thy care who are condemned to the darkness awaiting thy words of welcome that can only be given unto thou souls through the determination of thine own progressive endeavours. If you condemn it is not just that ye condemn thine own Oh my friends would you have us lift thy soul from the darkness whence ye have failed to lift with compliance the many souls that ye may have saved.
Ye are not looking for medals for bravery ye are but building strength a privilege that millions before ye had not the pleasure to receive. Ye cast aside the jewel ye cast aside the life that will far surpass the splendours of your material world cast aside the thoughts of death it existeth not. There you will find the solidity in the sphere in which ye dwell. Ye are privileged to inhale the perfume of the flowers of splendour and enjoy the sunshine of the fields of splendour.
The words brought to ye from the lands of love words that bring to your material and spiritual ear a welcome calling ye to obey the words of God that thy soul will not be condemned as thy brothers. We pray for thine own soul for thine own (comfort) to see the necessity of increasing daily thy endeavours to comply. Then my friend as before I have spoken ye will amass the healing strength that will soothe thy wounds and the wounds of many material aye and many spiritual who have faith in God an unshatterable faith not the faith of a moment a faith in God and ye have a Power that nothing can destroy but if ye have faith weakened by the retarding influence of material desire can ye thy lips moisten by thine own material strength unsupported by the Power.
If thou cast aside the Influence of God where dost thou hope to find the nourishment required by the soul. Ye who have failed to give to the souls in darkness can ye hope to receive that which has not been given. It is not selfishness. Ye have risen with the knowledge of Power the various Powers akin to thine own who have from time to time assisted ye in thy desire to understand.
Yea I speak from the Council of Power and I ask ye to build within thy material and spiritual self not as a task but as a loving desire a desire to help those in darkness with the realisation that those in darkness will have risen to the light ere it is thy privilege to leave thy material sphere.
Then ye that have assisted in the enlightenment and lifting to higher spheres we will be there to welcome ye and show ye the light of Heaven.
