The Tragedy of Life

The Book of Enlightenment - A guide to a better life

Wednesday 27th April 1938

The tragedy of life the failure to understand to realise and recognise the necessity of protection development and progression. Life is born lives and dies destroyed.

Cast thine eyes o'er the fertile fields of the gardens of materialism. Here as in the gardens the many gardens that thy material eyes are so accustomed to admire again we recognise the beauties of the flowers the trees that are grown therein it is akin to thine own material sphere for there thou hast realised that the flowers of today but wither and tomorrow decay upon the soil that gave them the breath of life, there to return the seed whose blossoms of splendour have tasted the joys of an unaccustomed sphere. Hast thou realised that in the culture of flowers forced into development forced to blossom ere it was the intention of nature that the soul of such was lacking in the splendour that those whose development under the skilful tuition nourished by the care of God oftimes a thing of beauty without a soul, lacking in the perfume of splendour lacking in the necessary life invigorating sap that God intended to provide. Let us realise that we in a sphere recognised by you a material sphere are akin to the garden thus described developed and matured through the influences of forces that understandeth not the language of progression the necessity of progression the necessity of evolution hence in our strongest moments forced in a garden we develop and blossom without a name without a perfume without the life giving sap to wither and die to return to the soil in the flesh leaving behind a forsaken soul a soul in darkness a soul without knowledge a soul seeking to find the material in which to build the foundation in which to develop the flower of perfection the flower of God's desire in a flesh and thus we realise the necessity of endeavouring to understand that which is necessary to understand. Ye who live for today discarding the development for tomorrow recognise the advisability to strengthen your determination to comply and complete that force ye are today not to leave thy soul in a sphere of uncertainty in a sphere of doubt a sphere of an unfinished product for that which ye are intended to be must be ere ye are allowed to journey on the journey of enlightenment.

Light thy way let thy star shine ere the darkness overtakes thee. By compliance thy incentive to progress and quickly mature and understand that which is necessary for ye to understand, thou must lighten thy burden thy task of thy future development and progression in the Spheres of better understanding.

We who have been privileged to gather the knowledge from words that you have written realise the wisdom and the necessity for haste for is this not thy first realisation of a sphere of solidity. Ye who are wont and there are many who worship the flesh and neglect the soul but cast thine own self into the pit of undeveloped souls. Soul is but a term that thine own material lips has given unto thy self, it is thy self thy spiritual soul that is the hidden flower and the weed as the weeds of thy material gardens are the soil returning to the soil. Let us recognise only the soul thus endeavouring to build and to beautify the flower that to you is known as such. This soul this self that sooneth shake the dust of the material soil from their splendid petals blossoms of beauty to become planted, transplanted into a sphere or garden of better understanding. Thy soul will then find rest in a harbour of love as solid just as real as the sphere which ye have grown to recognise as the one the only sphere of solidity. Here in a sphere in which ye now dwell in the moments of progression an infant in development the moments are very short. It is wisdom to make the most of the sunshine given to develop in the first or fourth stages of evolution, development of that which God intended ye to thus we must protect our infantile growth that is as ye are today protect and develop the necessary determination to comply to fulfil our duties to God for as I have been privileged to describe the tragedies that are visible where ere thine eyes doth care to gaze. Tragedies created by the lack of spiritual knowledge by the overwhelming determination to resist the sunshine of enlightenment to be come scorched and withered under the influence of ages of darkness. 'Tis well to realise that many too many undeveloped souls or unenlightened flowers have for ages succumbed to the temptations of idleness lacking the determination realising not the necessity for such understanding heeding not the warning voices of the ever present Angels of God, Angels of Mercy. The word angel is a material version of a Soul that has travelled far beyond and risen to the Kingdom of God enjoying the Power of God. It is sad to realise in the infantile mind thou has failed to recognise or to realise the vast growth and preparation that is necessary ere such a Soul is cleansed a perfect flower welcomed to such a Sphere. Too oft it is spoken "as we are today tomorrow we ascend or descend". It is true but untrue that we ascend to the Throne of God in our undeveloped unenlightened unstrengthened growth.

Thus the necessity of strengthening thy endeavours and thy determination to rise swiftly out of the gloom of this tragedy of material misconception.

Ye shall find what ye desire to find in that which is written, thine own protection and development by strengthening thine own desires thou assist those in the darkness those in doubt. But thou dost protect thy nakedness in a cloak of progression in the spheres of progression splendour and evolution and there thou shalt find the joys the beauty of the work of those so valuable moments that thou didst fail to recognise and failed to give thine own protection so well deserved compensated by thine own development and determination.

I the Voice of Power return having sown a seed on fertile soil.
