The Temptations of the Flesh

The Book of Enlightenment - A guide to a better life

Saturday 20th August 1938

From the pains ye endure gathered and built within thine own material acceptance whilst thou dwell in the darkness of misunderstanding.

It is with satisfaction as I gaze into the ages that are past to realise that thou art akin to those whose endeavours and desires were as thine own now recognised with the experience thus gained we are able to foresee the coming disaster of thine own foolishness.

Thus we recommend for your acceptance a speedy preparation to enable thy kindred brethren to be supported and protected in the hour of need disaster, grief, pain, self inflicted gathered in unison in darkness. It is a lesson that brings pain and realisation. Let us recognise the uselessness of our struggles recognise that which is as ever has been. Let us then in a final struggle put forth our strength and our knowledge and at least attempt to rise in the cause of the evolution. Canst thou not see in the mirrors of the past thine actions of today are but the reflections of the sins of yesterday and the sins of greed that led to destruction.

Those that in thy sphere did dwell in the ages of the past thou art likened unto the insect attracted by a flame a light that thou understood not will scorch thy wings. Ye who in the past did heed not as in the present the clarion call that would rise ye from the everlasting turmoil of unenlightenment. Ye who have suffered and pains thou hast borne canst thou not realise the infertile lessons that thou hast endured. Seeds of agony repeated and repeatedly suffered and in thy blindness again the flame of destruction attracts thy greed and mind for hast thou not the wisdom to recognise that which is other than the flesh for in thy vanity whilst thou still wallow in the slime of darkness and unenlightenment. As sheep thou art led but thy leader is thyself and thy greed thy stubbornness to recognise others than self that which ye see and fail to recognise the truth that which is the governing power of the flesh as is the sun the winds and the rain the life of the fruit and the soil. Yea material I gaze upon thy struggling stubbornness to save thyself for I see in thy blindness many have failed to recognise that which is self, failed to realise the Power of God. More concerned with the Power of Gold, the power of the comfort of the flesh and yet ye see those with gold in abundance who fail to taste the splendours of the fruit the joys of a gift from God.

Awake ye then my obstinate friends cast aside the temptations of the flesh and learn to understand the joys of progression learn to recognise and realise that Knowledge is Power everlasting life a life protected thriving in the garden of God's Holy Influence.

Like sheep to destruction ye who are in the flesh that thou art wont to recognise to idealise then realise that it is but flesh for the moment. Tomorrow it withers casteth aside objectionable undesirable there to wither and decay to separate into the realisation of that which is and ever has been a component of many.

What then my friends in the useless endeavours ever attracted by the flame of the flesh and materialism canst thou hope to find other than death a life of wilfulness and greed and pain, yours as ye desire yours for a moment of material existence. Then darkness alone in a sphere akin to a sphere of your own acceptance not the sphere you desire but a sphere that ye are accustomed to desire. Your desires are registered in the eyes of God by thine actions and thine endeavours whilst thou didst dwell in the material flesh that thou didst love so well. There thou shalt learn from the sufferings of thine own foolishness to recognise the advisability to follow the guiding Influence of that wonderful Power that ye will then recognise in awakening is and ever has been for thine eyes and thine own acceptance and thy desire to follow.

The flame has led thee to believe yea let us live in the joys of our desires for tomorrow life may have passed and in thy blindness thou who hast not the knowledge has yet to seek ere ye can find that which is life and there the reincarnation.

Yea as material as ye are wont to recognise in the sphere that ye are privileged for the moment to exist the object of our endeavours is to bring before your eyes a vision of the progression and advancement of material of the past. But ye who are in search of progression must recognise a Higher Sphere of Power a Power of God an influence that governs the planet the source of inspiration. Ye in thy slumbers ye dream of that which is thy desire but as thy mind awakens to the realisation of slumber not along thy journey towards the light and the Power of Life and that which controlleth life.

Open wide thine eyes and thine ears and listen for the enlightenment, the fruit thou shall partaketh has been gathered from the gardens of progression.

Why linger in the pool of slime re-enacting as in a circle recognised as such a circle governed and controlled accepted from a source of darkness and misunderstanding preaching unto others that poison that was spoken unto ye. Ye but condemneth that which is to be to the sins and pains thou hast been wont to endure. Thou dost condemn in the beginning. Thus the necessity of the realisation to search for the enlightenment that will lead to the progression the upliftment of those that are to follow. There are many who have passed into the darkness of uncertainty. Many likened unto ye. Yea more than sufficient to preach to inspire unto those forces of material flesh the inspirations akin to the Knowledge and the desires ye now possess.

But ye who seek the Light and the Power of God are few and teachers of the truth of everlasting life are few and urgently desired.

We fish as in a pool of darkness to find ye who will react to the sensitive vibrations of the Sphere of Evolution. Let us band together with determination to build a mighty army, Soldiers of God a power to guide and govern to bring unto the masses the necessity to pause and to realise that they live but in the beginning and as thy live that which is must die and that which is the Spirit continues to live but in the darkness of their own desires as desired in the flesh.

Ye who would march forward to a life of joy and better understanding, material moments are precious moments, moments that are as seeds, seeds of brightness or seeds of darkness controlled by the acceptance governed by that which is but a desire. Strengthen thy desire search for the knowledge and the truth that will drive to ye a path unpolluted by the cycle of the majority a soldier of determination. Live not for today but for tomorrow ever striving to fight the temptation of the winds that will lead to the flame of the cycle of hell. Yea ye cast thy soul as thou did in the flesh, the pains ye bear are but lessons of realisation the knowledge that thou hast yet to learn, that is and ever has been the Power of the determination to strive to endeavour to follow the inspiration and guiding influence of our God Our Father our heavenly Father.

Ease the burdens and the struggles of those who labour unceasingly in their endeavours to bring to you the knowledge the inspiration to divert thy footsteps from thy everlasting transgression.

Canst thou visualise the splendour of a garden yea a material garden a garden developed governed under the influence of better understanding. The knowledge of the necessity of living for material life spiritual life each year each day each hour a life that brings to us the joys of progression the realisation of the necessity to love to help to ease the burden to open the eyes of those in darkness. Canst thou not feel the warmth of the joy of those whom thou hast served and saved the necessity of enduring the discomfort akin to thine own.

Let us rise let us lead turn not thy face back o'er the planes of darkness of greed. Search ye for the Light and ye who pray shall receive that which ye are worthy to receive. Save thine own soul from the agony of repeated endurance of the pains of thine own wilfulness.

It is with this purpose that we bring to ye the words of truth the words of knowledge everlasting life and live ye today and live ye for the strength and determination to progress to tomorrow.

So endeth for the moment the lesson.
