According to this awareness, we are the arbiters of this manifest destiny and how we use our minds dictates the energetic expression of the conditions we constantly face. We raise our thoughts into the Word of Life and transform every element of our affairs into the Grace of Christ. Honest individuals recognize in themselves the progressive steps from barbaric ignorance to civilized education and this self realization encourages us to pursue with diligence the Higher Calling of GOD in Christ within. We are in a constant state of orbital growth that spirals our Souls upward into the Paradise realms where we put our requests into the Hands of Jesus and His Saints. IAM certain that every Soul which desires to climb the Hill of Higher Attainment to reach the pinnacle of human achievement in the body will receive with gratitude and sanctity the sharpness of the Christ Mind with all Its Clarity to understand, uplift, heal, exalt, bless and edify. We then say with Jesus "IAM the Healing Shadow, fulfilling bodies, minds and conditions, whenever and wherever needful".
Like Peter, who held the Word and Experienced the Speech of Angels, we do likewise by GOD's Name, by GOD' s Power, by GOD's Will. Each rung of Jacob's Ladder we climb is a balancing stair where we may bask in the Truth in the Light of Angels. Each step is another transition from the known to the unknown that becomes known. It is natural to progress in this Way. Jacob's servitude for Rachel was 21 years of growth in honor, respect, desire, diligence, persistence, and Inner Prayer. His Ladder are steps from the finite world of manifest destiny to the Infinite World of All Encompassing Deity. We interpret his rise to receive a New Name from GOD as indicative of climbing the Ladder of Angel Abilities and mental fortitude to Achieve His Eternal Quest for Emancipation, on Earth as it is in Heaven.
A sobering explanation or note of warning is to instill in all, a deep abiding reverence for GOD. In reality, this Holy Respect engenders within all relatives of Christ, the Great Law of Love which expresses through each one the fullest respect and adoration for the Wisdom which so wonderfully made all creation.
You said in your heart, I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of GOD, I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of the assembly in the far north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will make myself like the Most High - you are brought down to sheol... Isaiah 14:13, 14, 16
Root yourself in trust that Almighty GOD is able to bestow upon each one every good and necessary talent contributing to the fulfillment of GOD's Divine Plan. Applying oneself in prayer and supplication or as invocations and affirmations called decrees, made in the Name of Jesus to GOD for the freeing of self into immortal liberty - bear the fruit of an active yet peaceful progress in GOD Mind. Personal attitudes are adjusted. Thought and feeling patterns are modeled after the noble designs of Jesus, Angels and Saints. The individual makes Truth Spiritual progress. One's first loyalty is to the Holy Trinity and to those of like mind. Above all, the purposes and uses of Life must be obediently practiced and the understanding of Christ will be harvested.
"Go and learn what that means, I will have mercy and will (choose) not sacrifice."Matthew 9:14
When the purposes of heaven are truly understood, man will welcome the morning star and receive each new day with joy. Each one is called to lay treasures in heaven, creating Temples of Holiness that will abide the Eternal World of Bliss. Every good deed done while in the body is recorded to one's credit. GOD is absolutely just. The Universe is absolutely just. "Ask GOD the ordinances of Justice" Isaiah 58:2.
Jesus said "forgive" - GOD is Merciful. Each one must be an example of Christic Integrity. Die with Christ in the expectation that you will live with Christ. Through friendship with the servants of GOD and man, the compassionate, spiritual individual learns to utilize the great spiritual flow of elemental life in nature and finds in the Presence of the Holy Spirit a cooperation with nature which formerly he did not even dream existed.
The Father WHO created the paradise of GOD referred to in Genesis is now perceived to be in fact the Creator of all loveliness. The sylphs of the air, the undines of the sea, the fiery salamanders of the flame and the gnomes of the earth are recognized as elemental spirits created to assist that ONE Father in bringing forth a kingdom of Supreme loveliness and beauty. Look upon the blessed earth with the grandeur of its rolling plains, its fertile valleys, and its mountain ranges, gaze upon the crystalline mirrors of its lakes and flowing streams, interlacing the terrain and conveying the water element in channels of varying depth, mankind and feel the reverent wonder. Within the heart of the desert cactus is a secret whereby the arid areas of the world can indeed be made to blossom as the rose and produce all manner of fruits and vegetables with far less moisture than is presently required.
The planetary veins and arteries conveying the tireless energy of the Eternal ONE from place to place upon the spinning globe of the world, the blue dome of the sky with the golden sun disk to warm and revivify ADM, the silent night with the crystal moon and diadems of stars like the Pleiades - all of these are flooded with a sense of unity which pervades all things. This Unity is felt with greater meaning in the depths of the heart of the individual who is completely attuned to GOD.
These valleys and hills, these diadems of stars and far reaches of space are a part of Self. Equanimity is all of them and in them all. IAM calmly active, IAM actively calm. With this sense of ever present wonder, ADM is able to perform the feats of the Just Ones of old. Mortal sense of restriction pass away, and all things are become new. Copyright A.
