Life and Teaching of the M-sters of the Far East
By Baird T. Spalding
Volume I
FORWARD: In presenting THE LIFE AND TEACHING OF THE
MA-TERS OF THE FAR EAST. I wish to state that I was
one of a research party of eleven persons that visited
the Far East in 1894. During our stay three and a half
years we contacted the Great Mas-ers of the Himalayas
who aided us in the translation of the records which
was of great assistance in our research work. They
permitted us to enter into their lives intimately and
we were thus able to see the actual working of the
great Law as demonstrated by them.
We call them Mast-rs which is merely our name for
them. One living the life described herein is entitled
to reverence and consideration as a Maste-. Records and
manuscripts our actual experience with the -asters were
preserved. Personally at that time I thought the world
was not ready for this message. I was an independent
member of the research party and I am now publi****ng my
notes under the title LIFE AND TEACHING OF THE M-STERS
OF THE FAR EAST with the thought that the reader may
accept or reject as he wishes. This book which will be
followed by others of the Sun series gives the first
year's experience of the expedition in relation to the
Mas-ers. It includes their teaching which was taken by
us stenographically at the time with their permission
and approved by them. The Mast-rs accept that Buddha
represents the Way to Enlightenment but they clearly
set forth that C-rist IS Enlightenment or a state of
consciousness for which we are all seeking the Ch-ist
light of every individual therefore the light of every
child that is born into the world.

Chapter I
We had been in India about two years doing regular
routine research work when I met the Mas-er known in
these writings as Emil.
While walking along a street in the city where we
were staying my attention was attracted to a crowd. I
saw the center of interest was one of the street
magicians or fakirs that are so common in that country.
As I stood there I noticed beside me an elderly man who
was not of the same caste as those about him. He looked
at me and asked if I had been long in India.
I replied 'About two years.' He asked 'Are you
English?' I answered.
'American.
'I was surprised and very much interested to find one
who spoke English. I asked him what he thought of the
performance then going on.
He answered. 'Oh it is a common occurrence in India.
These fellows are called fakirs magicians and
hypnotists. They are all the name implies but
underneath it all is a deeper s-iritual meaning that
few discern and good will come of it some day. It is
but the shadow of the thing from which it sprang. It
has caused a great deal of comment and those commenting
upon it seem never to have reached the true meaning for
there certainly is a truth underneath it all.
'Here we parted and I saw him only occasionally
during the next four months. Our expedition was
confronted by a problem which gave us a great deal of
trouble.
In the midst of our worries I again met Emil.
Immediately he asked what was bothering me and began
talking about our problem. I wondered at this for I
felt that none of our party had mentioned it outside of
our little circle.
His familiarity with the situation was such that I
felt the whole matter was known to him. He explained
that he had a certain insight into the affair and that
he would endeavor to help. Within a day or two the
matter was cleared up leaving us without a problem. We
wondered at this but with other things to occupy our
time so on forgot. Some other problems came up it
became a habit with me to talk them over with Emil. It
seemed that as soon as I discussed our troubles with
him they would cease to exist. My associates had met
and talked with Emil but I had said little to them
about him. By this time I had read a number of books on
Hindu lore selected by Emil and I was fully convinced
that he was one of the adepts. My curiosity was keenly
aroused and I was becoming more deeply interested each
day. One Sunday afternoon Emil and I were walking in a
field when he called my attention to a pigeon circling
overhead and casually remarked that the bird was
looking for him. He stood perfectly still and in a few
moments the bird alighted upon his outstretched arm.
He said the bird has a message from his brother in the
North. This proved to be a fellow-worker who had not
reached the attainment whereby he could communicate
directly so he took this means. We later found that the
Ma-ters are able to communicate with each other
instantly by thought transference or as they call it a
force much more subtle than either electricity or
wireless. I then began to ask questions and Emil
showed me that he was able to call the birds to him and
direct their flight while they were in the air that the
flowers and trees would nod to him that the wild
animals would come to him fearlessly. He parted two
jackals that were fighting over the body of a smaller
animal that they had killed and were feeding upon. When
he approached them they stopped fighting and put their
heads in his outstretched hands in perfect trust then
resumed their meal in quiet. He even gave me one of the
young wild creatures to hold in my hands. He then said
to me 'This is not the mortal self the self you see
that is able to do these things. It is a truer deeper
self. It is what you know as G-d Go- within me -od the
Omnipotent One working through me that does these
things. Of myself the mortal self I can do nothing. It
is only when I get rid of the outer entirely and let
the actual the I AM speak and work and let the great
Love of G-d come forth that I can do these things that
you have seen. When you let the Love of Go- pour
through you to all things nothing fears you and no harm
can befall you. 'Every day during this time I had
lessons with Emil. He would suddenly appear in my room
even if I had taken special care to lock the door
before retiring. At first his appearance at will
disturbed me but I soon saw that he took it for granted
that I understood. I became accustomed to his ways and
left my door open so that he could come and go as he
pleased. This confidence seemed to please him. I could
not understand all his teachings and I could not accept
them fully nor was I able with all I saw while in the
East to fully accept at the time. It required years of
meditation to bring me the realization of the deep
spi-itual meaning of these peoples' lives. Their work
is accomplished without ostentation and in perfect
childlike simplicity. They know the power of love to
protect them and they cultivate it until all nature is
in love with them and befriends them. Thousands of the
common people are k-lled annually by serpents and wild
animals yet these Mas-ers have so brought forth the
power of love in themselves that serpents and wild
animals do not injure them. They live at times in the
wildest jungles and sometimes lay their bodies down
before a village to protect it from the ravages of wild
animals and no harm befalls the village or themselves.
When occasion requires they walk on water go through
fire travel in the invisible and do many other things
that we have been accustomed to look upon as m-racles
performed only by one supposed in some way to possess
supernatural powers. There is a striking resemblance
between the life and teaching of Je--s of Nazareth and
those of these Mast-rs as exemplified in their daily
life. It has been thought impossible for man to derive
his daily supply directly from the Universal to
overcome d-ath and to perform the various so-called
mi-acles that J--us performed while on earth. The
Mast-rs prove that all these are their daily life. They
supply everything needed for their daily wants directly
from the Universal including food clothing and money.
They have so far overcome de-th that many of them now
living are over five hundred years of age as was
conclusively proved by their records.
There are comparatively few of these Maste-s in India
other cults seeming to be but offshoots of their
teaching. They realize their number is limited and that
only a few scholars can come to them. In the invisible
however they can reach almost unlimited numbers and it
seems to be the greater work of their lives to reach
out into the invisible and help all who are receptive
to their teaching.
The teaching of Emil laid the foundation for the work
which we were to take up years later in our third
expedition to these countries during which time we
lived with the Maste-s continuously for three and
one-half years traveled with them and observed their
daily lives and work throughout the Far East.
Chapter II
We arrived at Potal from where the expedition was to
start late in the afternoon of December 22 1894 and
found we were to start C-ristmas morning upon what was
to be the most memorable expedition of our whole lives.
I never shall forget the few words Emil said to us that
morning. These words were delivered in fluent English
although the speaker did not boast an English
education and he had never been out of the Far East.
He began by saying 'Tis Ch-istmas Morning to you I
suppose it is the day --sus of Nazareth the Christ was
born to you the thought must come that He was sent to
remit s-ns to you He must typify the Great Mediator
between you and your Go-.

There are a few m-sters in America. One who was a
ma-ter until his death was St. Germain. He was the
teacher of my teacher called Merele Fagot. St. Germain
in that physical body was called Michael and he was a
barber by trade in Oakland, Calif. He was a good
friend and provider for Sister Thedra. I asked Merele
if I might meet Michael and he asked Michael if that
would be OK. Michael said that No I couldn't meet him
in person because when you get too many friends and you
are trying to teach them then it gets to where your
mission becomes showed down so you can't accomplish
what you are trying to do. He said also that I could
get all the information that he would be able to teach
me from books.
Now on to the discussion from the book.
........................................................
........................................................
You seem to appeal to Je--s as a mediator between
you and your G-d who seems to be a stern and at times
an angry Go- sitting off somewhere in the place called
h-aven located where I do not know except it be in
man's consciousness. You seem to be able to reach -od
only through His less austere and more loving Son the
great and noble One whom we all call Blessed and whose
advent into the world this day commemorates. To us this
day means more to us this day not only means the advent
into this world of Jes-- the C-rist but also this birth
typifies the birth of Ch-ist in every human
consciousness. This Ch-istmas Day means the birth of
the Great Master and Teacher the Great Liberator of
mankind from material bondage and limitations. To us
this great s-ul came on earth to show more fully the
way to the real Go- the great Omnipotent Omnipresent
Omniscient One to show that -od is all Goodness all
Wisdom all Truth All in All. This Great Mas-er who came
to this world this day was sent to show more fully that
G-d not only dwells without us but within us that He
never is nor can be separated from us or any of His
creations that He is always a just and loving G-d that
He is all things knows all things knows all and is all
Truth. Had I the understanding of all men it is beyond
my power to express to you even in an humble way what
this H-ly Birth means to us. 'We are fully convinced
and we hope you also will see that this Great Mast-r
and Teacher came to us that we might have a fuller
understanding of life here on earth that all mortal
limitations are but man-made and in no other way should
they be interpreted. We know that this greatest of all
teachers came to show more fully that the Chr-st in Him
and through whom He did His mighty works is the same
Chri-t that lives in you in me and in all mankind that
we can by applying His teachings do all the works that
He did and greater works. We believe that J--us came to
show more fully that Go- is the one great and only
Cause of all things that Go- is All. 'You may have
heard it said that we believe --sus received his early
training among us. Perhaps some of us do believe. Let
that be as it is. Does it matter whether His training
came from among us or as a direct r-velation from -od
the one source where all things really exist? For when
an idea from G-d-mind has been contacted by one man and
sent out through the spoken word cannot one or all
again contact that thought in the Universal? Because
one has contacted the idea and sent it out it does not
follow that it is his particular possession. If he did
appropriate and hold it where would be room for
receiving? To receive more we must give out what we
have received. If we withhold what we receive
stagnation will follow and we will be like the wheel
that generates power from the water and suddenly of its
own volition begins to withhold the water which it is
using. It will soon find itself stifled with inert
water.
It is only when the water is allowed to flow freely
through that it is of value to the wheel to create
power. Just so with man. When he contacts Go-'s ideas
he must give them out in order to receive the benefit
from them. He must allow all to do the same that they
may grow and develop as he is growing. 'I am of the
opinion that what Je--s taught came to Him as a direct
re-elation from -od as it no doubt has come to our
great teachers.
Are not all things of G-d and whatever one human
being can do cannot all do? We believe you will be
convinced that Go- is ever willing and ready to reveal
Himself to all men as He has revealed Himself to Je--s
and others.
The only requisite necessary is for each one to be
willing to let -od come forth. We believe with all
sincerity that all are created equal that all men are
one man that the mighty works done by Jes--s can and
will be done by all. You will see there is nothing
mysterious about these works.
The mystery is only in man's mortal concept of them.
'We fully realize you have come to us with minds more
or less skeptical. We trust you will live with us and
know us as we really are. Our work and the results
accomplished we leave you to accept or reject as you
will.
'Chapter III
Emil sent us away with a few remarks in which he said
'You are about to start on your expedition with these
two men Jast and Neprow to accompany you. As you travel
it will take about five days to journey to your next
im****tant stopping place about ninety miles distant. I
will tarry here for a time because it will not be
necessary for me to consume that time to cover the
distance but I will be there to greet you. I wish to
ask that you leave one of your party here in order to
make observations and corroborate what may happen. In
this way time will be saved and he will be able to
join the expedition not later than ten days hence. We
simply ask him to watch and re****t what he sees.
'We started with Jast and Neprow in charge of the
expedition and I wish to say that more business-like
arrangements could not well be imagined. Every detail
was complete and swung into line with the rhythm and
precision of music. This harmony was maintained
throughout the entire expedition which lasted three and
half years.We arrived at the appointed village about
four o'clock of the fifth day and there was Emil to
greet us as he had agreed. Can you imagine our
amazement? We were quite certain we had come by the
only traveled route and by the swiftest mode of
locomotion in that country except as the couriers go.
They travel in relays and go night and day. Here was a
man well advanced in years as we thought and one we
felt would in nowise be able to negotiate a journey of
ninety miles in less time than it required us to do the
same yet here he was. Of course we all tried to ask
questions at once and were eager to hear. These were
his words,
'I said when you departed that I would be here to
greet you I am here. I wish to call your attention more
fully to the fact that man in his right domain is
limitless knows no limit of time or space. Man when he
knows himself is not obliged to toil wearily along for
five days to accomplish ninety miles. Man in his right
estate can accomplish any distance it matters not the
magnitude instantly. A moment ago I was in the village
from which you departed five days ago. What you saw as
my body still reposes there. Your associate whom you
left in that village will tell you that until a few
moments before four o'clock I conversed with him
stating that I would go to greet you as you would
arrive here about this hour. What you saw as my body is
still there and your associate still beholds it
although it is at present inactive. This was done
simply to show you that we are able to leave our bodies
and greet you at any appointed place at any specified
time. The two who accompanied you could have
accomplished the journey as I have. In this way you
will more readily realize that we are only ordinary
humans of the same source as you that there is no
mystery but that we have developed the powers given all
by the Father the Great Omnipotent One more fully than
you have.
My body will remain where it is until night then I
will bring it here and your associate will proceed on
his way here as you did arriving in due time.
After a day's rest we will journey to a small
village one day off where we will tarry one night then
return here and meet your associate to see what his
re****t will be. We will assemble this evening in the
lodge.
In the meantime farewell.'In the evening after we had
assembled Emil without opening the door suddenly
appeared in our midst and said 'You have seen me appear
in this room as you would say by magic. Let me say
there is no magic about it. Here is a simple experiment
which you can behold. You can see this consequently you
will believe. Kindly gather around so that you can see.
We have a small glass of water which one of your
number has just brought from the spring. You see that a
minute particle of ice is forming in the very center of
the water. You see it gather to itself particle by
particle more ice until now the whole of the water in
the glass is frozen. What has happened? I held the
central atoms of the water in the Universal until they
became formed or in other words I lowered their
vibrations until they became ice and all the other
particles formed around them until the whole has
become ice.

Here they explain how the people treated their
guide called Jast.
........................................................
........................................................
You can apply this to the little glass the tub the
pond the lake the sea the whole mass of the water of
the earth. What would happen? All would be frozen would
it not? To what purpose? None. You ask by what
authority. I say by using a perfect law. But in this
case to what end? Nothing as no good has been
accomplished or could be accomplished. Had I gone on
determined to carry this out fully what would have
happened? The reaction. To whom? To me. I know the law
and what I express returns to me as truly as I express
it.
Therefore I express only the good and the good
returns to me only as good. You can readily see that
had I persisted in the freezing the cold would have
reacted upon me long before I had accomplished the end
and I would in reaping the harvest of my desire have
been frozen.
Whereas if I express the good I reap the harvest of
my good eternally. 'My appearance in this room tonight
may be explained in this way. In the little room where
you left me I held my body in the Universal by raising
its vibrations and it returned to the Universal or as
we say returning it to the Universal where all
substance exists. Then through my I AM my C-rist
Consciousness I held my body in my mind until its
vibrations were lowered and it took form right here in
this room and you could see it. Wherein is there any
mystery? Am I not using the power or the law given me
by the Father through the Beloved Son? Is not this Son
you and I and all mankind?
Wherein lies the mystery? There is none. 'Consider
the faith represented by the mustard seed. It comes to
us from the Universal through the Ch-ist within which
has already been born within us all. As a minute speck
it enters through the Chr-st or superconscious mind the
place of receptivity within ourselves. Then it must be
carried to the mount or highest within ourselves the
very top of the head. It is held there. We must then
allow the H-ly S-irit to descend. Now comes the
admonition `Thou shalt love the L-rd thy G-d with all
thy heart with all thy so-l with all thy strength and
with all thy mind.' Think! Does the meaning come?
Heart sou- Strength Mind. Is there anything to do at
this point but to turn it all over to God the Holy
Spiri- the Whole-I-S-irit in action? This Ho-y Sp-rit
comes in many ways perhaps as tiny entities tapping
and seeking admittance. We must accept and allow this
Hol- Spi-it to come in and unite with the minute point
of light or seed of knowing and revolve around it and
adhere to it just as you saw the particles of ice
adhere to the central particle and it will grow in form
particle by particle circle by circle just as the ice
multiply and express that seed of knowing unti you are
able to say to the mountain of difficulties `Be thou
removed and cast into the sea' and it will be done.
Call this fourth dimension or what you wish we call it
-od in expression through the Chris- in us.
It is in this way the -hrist was born. Mary the Great
Mother perceived the ideal the ideal was held in mind
then conceived in the soil of her s-ul held for a time
there then brought forth or born as the perfect -hrist
Child the First Born the Only Begotten the Son of -od.
He was nourished and protected given the very best of
the mother watched over and cherished until He grew
from childhood into manhood. It is thus the Ch-ist
comes to all of us first as an ideal planted in the
soil of our sou- the central part where G-d isheld in
mind as the perfect ideal then brought forth or born as
the perfect Child the Ch-ist Con-ciousness. 'You who
have seen what has been accomplished here doubt your
own eyes. I do not blame you. I get the thought of
hypnotism from the minds of some. My brothers is there
one here who feels that he does not have the power to
exercise every G-d-given faculty that he has seen
brought forth tonight? Do you think for a moment that I
am in any way controlling your thought or vision? Do
you think that I could if I would cast a hypnotic
spell over any or all of you for did you not all see?
Is it not recorded in your own great Book that Je--s
entered a room with the doors closed? He just came in
as I have done. Do you think for a moment that Jes--
the Great M-ster and Teacher needed in any way to
hypnotize? He used His own -od-given power as I have
done tonight. Let me say that I have done nothing but
what each one of you can do. Not only you but every
child that is or has been born into this world or
universe has the same power to do just what you have
seen accomplished this night. I wish to get this
clearly before your minds. Let me also say that you are
individuals that you are not personalities that you are
free wills not automatons. J--us did not need to
hypnotize and we do not need to hypnotize. Doubt us all
you wish until you are fully satisfied as to our
honesty. Put the idea of hypnotism away for the time
or at least let it lie passive until you have gone
deeper into the work. All we ask is that you keep an
open mind.
Chapter IV
We entered the little village of about two hundred
inhabitants one-half hour before sunset and when it was
known that Jast was with us I believe every villager
old and young and every pet and domestic animal came to
greet us.
While we were the object of more or less curiosity it
was immediately noted that Jast was the center of
interest greeted by all with the utmost reverence.
After a few moments he said a word to the villagers
and all but a few returned to their usual duties. Jast
turned to us and asked if we wished to go with him
while the camp was being prepared for the night.

Here they find a body of a person protecting a
village.
........................................................
........................................................
Five of our party said they were tired after the
day's journey and wished to rest. The remainder of us
followed Jast and the handful of villagers toward the
far side of the clearing that surrounded the village.
After crossing the clearing we had gone but a short
distance into the jungle when we came upon the form of
a man lying upon the ground as though dead that was our
impression at first glance. A second glance however
showed that the repose suggested calm sleep rather than
death. We stood staring as though transfixed for we saw
that the figure lying on the ground was Jast. Suddenly
as Jast walked toward it the figure became animated and
rose to a standing position. As the figure and Jast
stood face to face for an instant there was no
mistaking the identity it was Jast. All saw that it was
he. The instantly the Jast we had known had disappeared
and there was but one figure standing before us. Of
course all this was accomplished in much less time than
it takes to tell and the wonder was that not one of us
questioned. The five who had been left behind at camp
came running without a signal from any of us. We
afterwards asked them why they came. The answers were
'We don't know. The first we knew we were all on our
feet and running to you. We simply do not know why we
did it. None of us recall any signal. We found
ourselves running in your direction before any of us
realized what we were doing. 'One of our number
remarked 'My eyes are opened so wide that I see far
beyond the vale of death and the wonders that stand
revealed are beyond conception.' Another said 'I see
the whole world overcoming death. How vividly the words
come back `The last enemy Death shall be overcome.' Is
not this the fulfillment of these words? What pigmies
are our mere intellects in comparison with this
gigantic but simple understanding and yet we have dared
to look upon ourselves as giants of intellect. Why we
are mere babes! I just begin to see the meaning of `Ye
must be born again.' How true the words! 'I leave the
reader to imagine our surprise or bewilderment. Here
was a man with whom we had been in daily contact and by
whom we had been served daily that was able to lay his
body down for the protection of others and go on and
serve so very efficiently. Could it do otherwise than
recall 'He that is greatest among you shall be servant
or shall serve.' I think there was not one among us but
from that moment lost all fear of d-ath. These people
are accustomed to laying a body down before a village
in the jungle of a country infested with marauding men
and animals and that village is as safe from the
ravages of men and animals as though it were in a
civilized country. It was very evident that Jast's body
had been lying where we found it for a considerable
time. The hair had grown long and bushy and in it were
the nests of a little bird peculiar to the country.
These birds had built their nests reared their young
and the young had flown away thus giving unmistakable
evidence of the time the body had been in that position
and inactive. These birds are very timid and will
abandon their nests at the slightest disturbance. This
shows the great love and trust of the little birds.
Chapter V
We were up at sunrise the next morning and that day
returned to the village where we had left our outfit.
We arrived at the village just before dark and pitched
our camp under a great banyan tree. The next morning
Emil greeted us and we all began asking questions. He
said 'I do not wonder at your questions and I will
gladly answer all that I can at this time leaving
others until you have gone further into our work. In
talking to you as I am you fully realize that I am
using your language to convey to you the one great
underlying principle of our belief. 'When all know the
Truth and it is rightly interpreted truly is it not one
and all from the same source? Are we not all one with
the universal mind substance G-d? Are we not all one
great family? Is not every child everyone born no
matter the caste or creed a member of this great
family? 'You ask if we believe de-th is avoidable. Let
me answer in the words of the Siddha: `The human body
is built up from the individual cell like the bodies of
plants and animals whom we love to call younger and
less evolved brothers. The individual cell is a minute
microscopic unit of the body. By a process of growth
and division repeated many times this minute nucleus of
a cell-unit results at last in a complete human being
built up of almost countless millions of cells. These
body cells specialize for certain different functions
but they retain in the main the characteristics of the
individual cell whence they arose. This individual cell
may be looked upon as the torch bearer of animate life.
It p***** on from generation to generation the latent
fires of God the vitality of all living beings with an
unbroken ancestry reaching back to the time when life
first appeared on this planet.' This individual cell
has the property of unlimited youth. But what about the
group cells called the body? The group cells arose from
the individual cell repeated many times retaining its
individual characteristics one of which is the latent
fire of life or Eternal Youth. The group cells or body
function as guardian of the individual cell only during
the short span of life as you know it now. 'The most
ancient of our teachers by inspirational means
perceived the truth of the fundamental unity of life
reactions in plant and animal. We can well imagine
these teachers beneath the spreading banyan addressing
their pupils as follows: `Look at this giant tree. The
vital process going on in our brother this tree and in
ourselves is fundamentally the same. Behold the leaves
and the buds at the tips of the oldest banyan how young
they are young as the seed from which the giant sprang
into life.
The life reactions of plant and man being alike man
can certainly profit by the experience of the plant. As
the leaves and buds at the tips of the branches of the
oldest banyan are as young as the seed whence it sprang
even so the group cells in man forming his body need
not gradually lose their vitality and die but may grow
young and evergreen as the ovum or individual cell
itself. Indeed there is no reason why your body should
not grow as young and vital as the vital seed from
which it sprang. The ever-spreading banyan always a
symbol of everlasting life does not die except through
accident. No natural law of decay no old age process
seems to exist within the banyan tree to affect
injuriously the vital energy of its cells. The same is
true of the human form divine. 'There is no natural law
of death or decay for man except through accident. No
inevitable old age process exists within his body or
group cells nothing that can gradually paralyze the
individual. Death is then an avoidable accident.
Disease is above all dis-ease absence of ease or Santi
sweet joyous peace of the spirit reflected through the
mind in the body. Senile decay which is the common
experience of man is but an expression that covers his
ignorance of cause certain d-sease conditions of mind
and body. Even accidents are preventable by appropriate
mental attitude. Says the Siddha: `The tone of the body
may be so preserved that it may naturally resist with
ease infectious and other disease like plague and
influenza.' The Siddha may swallow germs and never
develop disease at all.'Remember that youth is God's
seed of love planted in the human form divine. Indeed
youth is the divinity within man youth is the life
spiritual the life beautiful. It is only life that
lives and loves the one life eternal. Age is
unspiritual mortal ugly unreal. Fear thoughts pain
thoughts and grief thoughts create the ugliness called
old age. Joyous thoughts love thoughts and ideal
thoughts create the beauty called youth. Age is but a
shell within which lies the gem of reality the jewel of
youth. 'Practice acquiring the consciousness of
childhood. Visualize the Divine Child within. Before
falling asleep suggest to your consciousness `I now
realize that there is within me a spiritual joy-body
ever young ever beautiful. I have beautiful sp-ritual
mind eyes nose mouth skin the body of the Divine
Infant which now tonight is perfect.' Repeat this
affirmation and meditate upon it quietly while falling
asleep. Upon rising in the morning suggest to yourself
aloud `Well dear (addressing yourself by name) there is
a divine alchemist within.' By the s-iritual power of
these affirmations during the night a transmutation
takes place and the unfolding from within the Sp-rit
has saturated this spir-tual body and spiritual temple.
The inner alchemist has caused de-d and worn-out cells
to fall and the gold of new skin to appear with
perpetual health and loveliness. Truly divine Love in
demonstration is eternal youth. The d-vine alchemist is
within my temple constantly coining new and beautiful
baby cells. The spirit of youth is within my temple
this human form divine and all is well. Om Santi!
Santi! Santi! (Peace! Peace! Peace!) 'Learn to smile in
the sweet way of a child. A smile from the soul is
spiritual relaxation. A real smile is a thing of true
beauty the artistic work of the `Inner Ruler Immortal.'
It is well to affirm think a kind thought for all the
world. May all the world be happy and blest. Affirm
before taking up the work for the day Within me there
is a perfect form the form Di-ine.

the teaching of Siddha. They are the oldest teachers
known and their teaching antedates all his story by
thousands of years. They went about teaching the people
and showing them the better way of life even before man
knew the simple arts of civilization. It is from their
teaching that the system of rulers sprang. But these
rulers soon wandered away from the realization that it
was G-d expressing through them. Thinking it was
themselves the personal who were doing the work they
lost sight of the sp-ritual and brought forth the
personal or material forgetting that all comes from the
one source Go-. These rulers' personal concepts gave
rise to the great separations in belief and the wide
diversity of thought. This is our concept of the Tower
of Babel.
The Siddha have preserved throughout the ages the
true inspirational methods of -od expressing through
mankind and through all His creations realizing that
G-d is All and that it is Go- manifesting through all.
They have never deviated from this teaching. Thus they
have preserved the great fundamental Truth.
'Chapter VI
The man we had left in the village to observe Emil
joined us here and re****ted that he had conversed with
Emil until nearly four o'clock of the day he was to
keep his appointment with us. Then Emil said he was
about to keep his appointment. His body immediately
became inactive and reposed upon the couch as though
asleep. It was in this position until about seven
o'clock in the evening when it gradually became more
indistinct and disappeared. It was at this time in the
evening that Emil came to us in the lodge at the little
village. We had made a number of short trips from our
headquarters with either Jast or Neprow accompanying us
and in every instance they had shown their sterling
qualities and worth. On one of these trips Emil Jast
and Neprow accompanied us to a village where a temple
called The Silence Temple The Temple Not Made By Hands
is located. This village contains the temple and the
houses of the attendants and is located on the former
site of a village that had been nearly destroyed by the
ravages of wild animals and pestilence. We were told
that the M-sters visited this spot and found a few
inhabitants left of about three thousand population.
They ministered to them and the ravages of the wild
animals and pestilence ceased. The few villagers vowed
that if they were spared they would from that time on
devote their lives to Go- serving Him in any way He
chose. The Mas-ers left and when they returned later
they found the temple erected and attendants in charge.
The temple is very beautiful situated on an elevation
overlooking a wide expanse of country. It is about six
thousand years old is made of white marble and has
never needed repairs as a piece chipped off replaces
itself as was proven by members of our party. Emil said
'This is called the Temple of Silence the Place of
Power. Silence is power for when we reach the place of
silence in mind we have reached the place of power the
place where all is one the one power Go-. `Be still and
know that I am -od.' Diffused power is noise.
Concentrated power is silence. When through
concentration (drawing to a center) we have brought all
of our forces into one point of force we have contacted
God in silence we are one with Him and hence one with
all power. This is the heritage of man. `I and the
Father are one.' There is but one way to be one with
the power of God and that is consciously to contact
God. This cannot be done in the without for God
manifests from within. `The L-rd is in His h-ly temple
let all the earth keep silent before Him.' Only as we
turn from the without to the silence of the within can
we hope to make conscious union with -od. We will
realize that His power is for us to use and we will use
it at all times. Then we will know that we are one with
His power. 'Then will humanity be understood. Man will
learn to let go of self-delusions and vanities. He will
realize his ignorance and littleness. Then will he be
prepared to learn. He will realize that the proud
cannot be taught. He will know that only the humble can
perceive the Truth. His feet will feel the firm rock
he will no longer stumble he will be poised in
decision.'To realize that G-d is the only power
substance and intelligence may be confusing at first.
But when man does realize the true nature of Go- and
brings Him forth into active expression he will use
this power at all times. He will know that he
consciously contacts His power at all times when he
eats when he runs when he breathes or when he does the
great work before him. Man has not learned to do the
greater works of -od because he has not realized the
greatness of G-d's power and has not known that Go-'s
power is for man's use. '-od does not hear us through
our loud and vain repetitions nor our much speaking.
We must seek G-d through the C-rist within the
invisible connection which we have within ourselves.
When the Father within is w-r****pped in Sp-rit and
Truth He hears the calls of that s-ul which sincerely
opens to Him. The one who makes the connection with the
Father in s-cret will feel the power flowing through
him as the fulfillment of every desire. For he that
sees the Father in the se-ret place of his own so-l and
there abides him the Father will reward openly. How
often Je--s disclosed his individual contact with the
Father. See how He constantly held Himself in conscious
communication with Go- within. See how He talked with
Him as though He were personally present. See how
powerful this sec-et inner relation made Him. He
recognized that G-d does not speak in the fire the
earthquake or the great wind but in the still small
voice the still small voice deep in our own sou-s.
'When man learns this he will become poised. He will
learn to think things through. Old ideas will drop
away new ideas will be adjusted. He will soon find the
ease and efficiency of system. He will learn at last to
take all the questions that perplex him into this
silent hour. There he may not solve them but he will
become familiar with them. Then he will not need to go
hurrying and battling through the day and feel that his
purpose has been defeated. 'If man would come to know
the greater stranger himself let him enter his own
closet and shut the door. There he will find his most
dangerous enemy and there will he learn to ma-ter him.
He will find his true self. There will he find his
truest friend his wisest teacher his safest adviser
himself. There will he find the altar upon which G-d is
the undying fire the source of all goodness all
strength all power himself. He will know that Go- is in
the deepest part of the silence. He will find that
within himself abides the H-ly of H-lies. He will feel
and know that his every desire is in G-d's mind and is
therefore -od's desire. He will feel and know the
closeness of the relation****p of Go- and man the Father
and the Son. He will realize that only in consciousness
has there been any separation of these which have
seemed two just as his spi-it and his body have seemed
to be two but which in reality are one.' Go- fills both
h-aven and earth. It was this great r-velation that
came to Jacob in the silence. He had slept on the stone
of materiality. In a great burst of d-vine i-lumination
he saw the outer is but the out-pressing or expression
of the image held within. So impressed was he by this
that he called out `Surely the Lo-d (or law) is in this
place (the earth or body) and I knew it not. This is
none other but the house of -od and this is the gate to
he-ven.' Man will realize as Jacob did that the real
gate to hea-en is through his own consciousness.' It is
this `ladder' of consciousness revealed in a vision to
Jacob which each of us must climb before we can enter
that silent sec-et place of the Most High and find that
we are in the very center of every created thing one
with all things visible and invisible in and of the
Omnipresence. In Jacob's vision he was shown the ladder
reaching from earth to hea-en. He saw the a-gels of G-d
descending and ascending upon it Go-'s ideas descending
from Spi-it to form and ascending again. It was the
same re-elation that came to J--us when the `hea-ens
were opened unto him' and he saw the wonderful law of
expression whereby ideas conceived in the di-ine Mind
come forth into expression and manifest as form. So
perfectly was this law of expression revealed to the
Mast-r that at once he saw all form may be transformed
or changed in form through a change of consciousness in
regard to it. His first temptation was to change the
form of stones to that of bread to satisfy personal
hunger but with the revelation of this law of
expression came the true understanding that stones as
well as all other visible forms have come forth from
the Universal Mind Substance G-d and are in themselves
true expressions of divine Mind and all things desired
(not formed) are still in this Universal Mind Substance
ready to be created or brought forth to fill every
desire.

More From Out Of The East. July 13, 2008.
This should be called "From Out Of East", Part 7, but
we'll call it "More From Out Of The East" Part 1. This
comes from the books or volumns called "Life And
Teachings of the Ma-ters Of The Far East".
Here we are told how to manifest bread.
........................................................
........................................................
Thus the need for bread but showed that the substance
with which to create bread or any other needed thing is
at hand without limitation and bread can be created
from this substance just as well as stones can be
created therefrom. Every good desire man has is G-d's
desire therefore there is an unlimited supply in the
Universal Go- Substance all about us to fill every
desire. All we need do is to learn to use what -od has
already created for us and this He wills to have us do
that we may be free from every limitation and thus be
`abundantly free.' 'When Je--s said `I am the door' He
meant that the I AM in each s-ul is the door through
which the life power and substance of the great I AM
which is G-d comes forth into expression through the
individual. This I AM has but one mode of expression
and that is through idea thought word and act. This I
AM G-d Being which is power substance intelligence is
given form by consciousness and for this reason the
Master said `According to your faith be it unto you'
and `All things are possible to them that believe.'
'Now we see that -od is within the s-ul as power
substance and intelligence or in s-iritual terms wisdom
love and truth and is brought out into form or
expression through consciousness. The consciousness
which is in the infinite mind of Go- and in man is
determined by the concept or belief that is held in
mind. It is the belief in separation from Sp-rit that
has caused our forms to age and d-e. When we see that
Spi-it is all and that form is constantly being
expressed from Spir-t then shall we understand that
that which is born of or brought out of Spiri- is
-pirit.
'The next great truth to be revealed through this
consciousness is that each individual being a concept
of the d-vine Mind is held in that Mind as a perfect
idea. Not one of us has to conceive himself. We have
been perfectly conceived and are always held in the
perfect mind of G-d as perfect beings. By having this
realization brought to our consciousness we can contact
the di-ine Mind and so reconceive what Go- has already
conceived for us. This is what Jes-- called being `born
again.' It is the great gift the silence has to offer
us for by contacting the G-d-mind we can think with
G-d-mind and know ourselves as we are in reality rather
than as we have thought ourselves to be.
We contact -od-mind through true thought and so bring
forth a true expression whereas in the past perhaps
through untrue thought we have brought forth an untrue
expression. But whether the form be perfect or
imperfect the Being of the form is perfect G-d-power
substance and intelligence. It is not the Being of the
form that we wish to change but the form that Being has
assumed. This is to be done through the renewing of the
mind or through the change from the imperfect to the
perfect concept from the thought of man to the thought
of Go-. How im****tant then to find -od to contact Him
to be One with Him and to bring Him forth into
expression. How equally im****tant is the silence or the
stilling of the personal mind that the G-d-mind in all
its splendor may illumine the consciousness. When it
does then we shall understand how `the sun of
righteousness (right-use-ness) shall rise with h-aling
in his wings.' The mind of -od floods consciousness as
sun****ne floods a darkened room. The infusion of the
Universal Mind into the personal mind is like the
entrance of the vastness of the outside air into the
impurity of that which has long been held in some close
compartment. It stands alone supreme and we realize
that we are to build but one temple. The Temple of the
Living Go- is the blending of the greater with the
lesser through which the lesser becomes one with the
greater. The impurity was caused by the separation of
the lesser from the greater. The purity is caused by
their union so that no longer is there a greater and a
lesser but just the one good whole pure air. Even so
must we know that -od is One and all things visible and
invisible are One with Him. It is separation from Him
that has caused sin sickness poverty and d-ath. It is
union with Him that causes one to become a whole Being
or to become conscious of being whole. 'The separation
from unity is the descent of the a-gels on the ladder
of consciousness. The return to unity is the ascent of
the an-els upon the ladder. The descent is good for
unity then becomes expressed in diversity but in
diversity there need be no concept of separation.
That which is diversity has been misconceived from
the personal or external viewpoint to be separation.
The great work for each so-l is to lift the personal
viewpoint to such heights in consciousness that it
becomes one with the whole. When all can `meet with one
accord in one place' that place in consciousness where
it is understood that all things visible and invisible
have their origin in the one Go- then we stand upon the
Mount of Transfiguration. At first we see Je--s and
with Him Moses and Elias or Law and Prophecy and the
Christ (the power within man to know -od) and we think
to build three temples but the deeper meaning comes. We
are given to realize the immortality of man and to know
that divinity is never lost that Di-ine man is
d-athless eternal. Then Moses the Law and Elias the
Prophecy disappear and the Christ stands alone supreme
and we realize that we have to build but one temple the
Temple of the Living G-d within our very selves. Then
the H-ly S-irit fills the consciousness and the sense
delusions of s-n sickness poverty and de-th become no
more. This is the great purpose of the silence. 'This
temple from which you may chip a piece and the scar
will be instantly healed but typifies the temple of our
body of which J--us spoke the temple not made by hands
eternal in the heavens which we are to bring forth here
on earth.
'Chapter VII
Thursday morning the sun rose clear and beautiful
but instead of pu****ng on as we had expected we were
told that we would wait where we were until the trails
had dried and the rivers had receded so we could
proceed more comfortably.
We were all fearful lest our provisions should be
exhausted and one of our party voiced this fear. Emil
who had charge of the whole outfit came to us and said
'You need not fear. Does not G-d take care of all His
creatures both great and small and are we not His
creatures? You will see that here I have a few kernels
of corn or corn seed. I will plant them.
By this act I have definitely said that I want corn.
I have formed corn in my mind. I have fulfilled the law
and in due season it will come forth. Is it necessary
for us to await the long arduous process that Nature in
her slow growth and unfoldment will take in order to
grow corn? If so we would be obliged to wait a long
hard time to obtain it. Why not use a higher or more
perfect law given us by the Father to produce it? All
that is required is to become quiet and visualize or
idealize corn and we have corn cured ready for use. If
you doubt it you can gather it grind it into meal then
make it into bread.' There before us was corn grown and
cured so that we did gather it and grind it and
afterwards made it into bread. Then Emil went on to say
'This you have seen and believe but why not use a more
perfect law and bring forth a more perfect thing or
exactly what you want, bread. You will see by using
this more perfect or as you would say more subtle law I
am able to bring forth exactly what I need, bread.'
And as we stood there spellbound a large loaf of
bread was in his hands nor did the supply stop until
there were forty loaves upon the table before us placed
there apparently by Emil himself. He remarked 'You see
there is sufficient for all if not sufficient more can
be supplied until there is enough and to spare.' We all
ate the bread and pronounced it good. Emil continued
'When --sus at Galilee asked Philip `Whence shall we
buy bread?' He did this to try him for within Himself
He knew full well there was no necessity to buy the
bread needed to feed the assembled multitude nor to
secure it through the material market then in
existence.

There are a few m-sters in America. One who was a
ma-ter until his death was St. Germain. He was the
teacher of my teacher called Merele Fagot. St. Germain
in that physical body was called Michael and he was a
barber by trade in Oakland, Calif. He was a good
friend and provider for Sister Thedra. I asked Merele
if I might meet Michael and he asked Michael if that
would be OK. Michael said that No I couldn't meet him
in person because when you get too many friends and you
are trying to teach them then it gets to where your
mission becomes showed down so you can't accomplish
what you are trying to do. He said also that I could
get all the information that he would be able to teach
me from books.
Now on to the discussion from the book.
........................................................
........................................................
You seem to appeal to Je--s as a mediator between
you and your G-d who seems to be a stern and at times
an angry Go- sitting off somewhere in the place called
h-aven located where I do not know except it be in
man's consciousness. You seem to be able to reach -od
only through His less austere and more loving Son the
great and noble One whom we all call Blessed and whose
advent into the world this day commemorates. To us this
day means more to us this day not only means the advent
into this world of Jes-- the C-rist but also this birth
typifies the birth of Ch-ist in every human
consciousness. This Ch-istmas Day means the birth of
the Great Master and Teacher the Great Liberator of
mankind from material bondage and limitations. To us
this great s-ul came on earth to show more fully the
way to the real Go- the great Omnipotent Omnipresent
Omniscient One to show that -od is all Goodness all
Wisdom all Truth All in All. This Great Mas-er who came
to this world this day was sent to show more fully that
G-d not only dwells without us but within us that He
never is nor can be separated from us or any of His
creations that He is always a just and loving G-d that
He is all things knows all things knows all and is all
Truth. Had I the understanding of all men it is beyond
my power to express to you even in an humble way what
this H-ly Birth means to us. 'We are fully convinced
and we hope you also will see that this Great Mast-r
and Teacher came to us that we might have a fuller
understanding of life here on earth that all mortal
limitations are but man-made and in no other way should
they be interpreted. We know that this greatest of all
teachers came to show more fully that the Chr-st in Him
and through whom He did His mighty works is the same
Chri-t that lives in you in me and in all mankind that
we can by applying His teachings do all the works that
He did and greater works. We believe that J--us came to
show more fully that Go- is the one great and only
Cause of all things that Go- is All. 'You may have
heard it said that we believe --sus received his early
training among us. Perhaps some of us do believe. Let
that be as it is. Does it matter whether His training
came from among us or as a direct r-velation from -od
the one source where all things really exist? For when
an idea from G-d-mind has been contacted by one man and
sent out through the spoken word cannot one or all
again contact that thought in the Universal? Because
one has contacted the idea and sent it out it does not
follow that it is his particular possession. If he did
appropriate and hold it where would be room for
receiving? To receive more we must give out what we
have received. If we withhold what we receive
stagnation will follow and we will be like the wheel
that generates power from the water and suddenly of its
own volition begins to withhold the water which it is
using. It will soon find itself stifled with inert
water.
It is only when the water is allowed to flow freely
through that it is of value to the wheel to create
power. Just so with man. When he contacts Go-'s ideas
he must give them out in order to receive the benefit
from them. He must allow all to do the same that they
may grow and develop as he is growing. 'I am of the
opinion that what Je--s taught came to Him as a direct
re-elation from -od as it no doubt has come to our
great teachers.
Are not all things of G-d and whatever one human
being can do cannot all do? We believe you will be
convinced that Go- is ever willing and ready to reveal
Himself to all men as He has revealed Himself to Je--s
and others.
The only requisite necessary is for each one to be
willing to let -od come forth. We believe with all
sincerity that all are created equal that all men are
one man that the mighty works done by Jes--s can and
will be done by all. You will see there is nothing
mysterious about these works.
The mystery is only in man's mortal concept of them.
'We fully realize you have come to us with minds more
or less skeptical. We trust you will live with us and
know us as we really are. Our work and the results
accomplished we leave you to accept or reject as you
will.
'Chapter III
Emil sent us away with a few remarks in which he said
'You are about to start on your expedition with these
two men Jast and Neprow to accompany you. As you travel
it will take about five days to journey to your next
im****tant stopping place about ninety miles distant. I
will tarry here for a time because it will not be
necessary for me to consume that time to cover the
distance but I will be there to greet you. I wish to
ask that you leave one of your party here in order to
make observations and corroborate what may happen. In
this way time will be saved and he will be able to
join the expedition not later than ten days hence. We
simply ask him to watch and re****t what he sees.
'We started with Jast and Neprow in charge of the
expedition and I wish to say that more business-like
arrangements could not well be imagined. Every detail
was complete and swung into line with the rhythm and
precision of music. This harmony was maintained
throughout the entire expedition which lasted three and
half years.We arrived at the appointed village about
four o'clock of the fifth day and there was Emil to
greet us as he had agreed. Can you imagine our
amazement? We were quite certain we had come by the
only traveled route and by the swiftest mode of
locomotion in that country except as the couriers go.
They travel in relays and go night and day. Here was a
man well advanced in years as we thought and one we
felt would in nowise be able to negotiate a journey of
ninety miles in less time than it required us to do the
same yet here he was. Of course we all tried to ask
questions at once and were eager to hear. These were
his words,
'I said when you departed that I would be here to
greet you I am here. I wish to call your attention more
fully to the fact that man in his right domain is
limitless knows no limit of time or space. Man when he
knows himself is not obliged to toil wearily along for
five days to accomplish ninety miles. Man in his right
estate can accomplish any distance it matters not the
magnitude instantly. A moment ago I was in the village
from which you departed five days ago. What you saw as
my body still reposes there. Your associate whom you
left in that village will tell you that until a few
moments before four o'clock I conversed with him
stating that I would go to greet you as you would
arrive here about this hour. What you saw as my body is
still there and your associate still beholds it
although it is at present inactive. This was done
simply to show you that we are able to leave our bodies
and greet you at any appointed place at any specified
time. The two who accompanied you could have
accomplished the journey as I have. In this way you
will more readily realize that we are only ordinary
humans of the same source as you that there is no
mystery but that we have developed the powers given all
by the Father the Great Omnipotent One more fully than
you have.
My body will remain where it is until night then I
will bring it here and your associate will proceed on
his way here as you did arriving in due time.
After a day's rest we will journey to a small
village one day off where we will tarry one night then
return here and meet your associate to see what his
re****t will be. We will assemble this evening in the
lodge.
In the meantime farewell.'In the evening after we had
assembled Emil without opening the door suddenly
appeared in our midst and said 'You have seen me appear
in this room as you would say by magic. Let me say
there is no magic about it. Here is a simple experiment
which you can behold. You can see this consequently you
will believe. Kindly gather around so that you can see.
We have a small glass of water which one of your
number has just brought from the spring. You see that a
minute particle of ice is forming in the very center of
the water. You see it gather to itself particle by
particle more ice until now the whole of the water in
the glass is frozen. What has happened? I held the
central atoms of the water in the Universal until they
became formed or in other words I lowered their
vibrations until they became ice and all the other
particles formed around them until the whole has
become ice.

Here they explain how the people treated their
guide called Jast.
........................................................
........................................................
You can apply this to the little glass the tub the
pond the lake the sea the whole mass of the water of
the earth. What would happen? All would be frozen would
it not? To what purpose? None. You ask by what
authority. I say by using a perfect law. But in this
case to what end? Nothing as no good has been
accomplished or could be accomplished. Had I gone on
determined to carry this out fully what would have
happened? The reaction. To whom? To me. I know the law
and what I express returns to me as truly as I express
it.
Therefore I express only the good and the good
returns to me only as good. You can readily see that
had I persisted in the freezing the cold would have
reacted upon me long before I had accomplished the end
and I would in reaping the harvest of my desire have
been frozen.
Whereas if I express the good I reap the harvest of
my good eternally. 'My appearance in this room tonight
may be explained in this way. In the little room where
you left me I held my body in the Universal by raising
its vibrations and it returned to the Universal or as
we say returning it to the Universal where all
substance exists. Then through my I AM my C-rist
Consciousness I held my body in my mind until its
vibrations were lowered and it took form right here in
this room and you could see it. Wherein is there any
mystery? Am I not using the power or the law given me
by the Father through the Beloved Son? Is not this Son
you and I and all mankind?
Wherein lies the mystery? There is none. 'Consider
the faith represented by the mustard seed. It comes to
us from the Universal through the Ch-ist within which
has already been born within us all. As a minute speck
it enters through the Chr-st or superconscious mind the
place of receptivity within ourselves. Then it must be
carried to the mount or highest within ourselves the
very top of the head. It is held there. We must then
allow the H-ly S-irit to descend. Now comes the
admonition `Thou shalt love the L-rd thy G-d with all
thy heart with all thy so-l with all thy strength and
with all thy mind.' Think! Does the meaning come?
Heart sou- Strength Mind. Is there anything to do at
this point but to turn it all over to God the Holy
Spiri- the Whole-I-S-irit in action? This Ho-y Sp-rit
comes in many ways perhaps as tiny entities tapping
and seeking admittance. We must accept and allow this
Hol- Spi-it to come in and unite with the minute point
of light or seed of knowing and revolve around it and
adhere to it just as you saw the particles of ice
adhere to the central particle and it will grow in form
particle by particle circle by circle just as the ice
multiply and express that seed of knowing unti you are
able to say to the mountain of difficulties `Be thou
removed and cast into the sea' and it will be done.
Call this fourth dimension or what you wish we call it
-od in expression through the Chris- in us.
It is in this way the -hrist was born. Mary the Great
Mother perceived the ideal the ideal was held in mind
then conceived in the soil of her s-ul held for a time
there then brought forth or born as the perfect -hrist
Child the First Born the Only Begotten the Son of -od.
He was nourished and protected given the very best of
the mother watched over and cherished until He grew
from childhood into manhood. It is thus the Ch-ist
comes to all of us first as an ideal planted in the
soil of our sou- the central part where G-d isheld in
mind as the perfect ideal then brought forth or born as
the perfect Child the Ch-ist Con-ciousness. 'You who
have seen what has been accomplished here doubt your
own eyes. I do not blame you. I get the thought of
hypnotism from the minds of some. My brothers is there
one here who feels that he does not have the power to
exercise every G-d-given faculty that he has seen
brought forth tonight? Do you think for a moment that I
am in any way controlling your thought or vision? Do
you think that I could if I would cast a hypnotic
spell over any or all of you for did you not all see?
Is it not recorded in your own great Book that Je--s
entered a room with the doors closed? He just came in
as I have done. Do you think for a moment that Jes--
the Great M-ster and Teacher needed in any way to
hypnotize? He used His own -od-given power as I have
done tonight. Let me say that I have done nothing but
what each one of you can do. Not only you but every
child that is or has been born into this world or
universe has the same power to do just what you have
seen accomplished this night. I wish to get this
clearly before your minds. Let me also say that you are
individuals that you are not personalities that you are
free wills not automatons. J--us did not need to
hypnotize and we do not need to hypnotize. Doubt us all
you wish until you are fully satisfied as to our
honesty. Put the idea of hypnotism away for the time
or at least let it lie passive until you have gone
deeper into the work. All we ask is that you keep an
open mind.
Chapter IV
We entered the little village of about two hundred
inhabitants one-half hour before sunset and when it was
known that Jast was with us I believe every villager
old and young and every pet and domestic animal came to
greet us.
While we were the object of more or less curiosity it
was immediately noted that Jast was the center of
interest greeted by all with the utmost reverence.
After a few moments he said a word to the villagers
and all but a few returned to their usual duties. Jast
turned to us and asked if we wished to go with him
while the camp was being prepared for the night.

Here they find a body of a person protecting a
village.
........................................................
........................................................
Five of our party said they were tired after the
day's journey and wished to rest. The remainder of us
followed Jast and the handful of villagers toward the
far side of the clearing that surrounded the village.
After crossing the clearing we had gone but a short
distance into the jungle when we came upon the form of
a man lying upon the ground as though dead that was our
impression at first glance. A second glance however
showed that the repose suggested calm sleep rather than
death. We stood staring as though transfixed for we saw
that the figure lying on the ground was Jast. Suddenly
as Jast walked toward it the figure became animated and
rose to a standing position. As the figure and Jast
stood face to face for an instant there was no
mistaking the identity it was Jast. All saw that it was
he. The instantly the Jast we had known had disappeared
and there was but one figure standing before us. Of
course all this was accomplished in much less time than
it takes to tell and the wonder was that not one of us
questioned. The five who had been left behind at camp
came running without a signal from any of us. We
afterwards asked them why they came. The answers were
'We don't know. The first we knew we were all on our
feet and running to you. We simply do not know why we
did it. None of us recall any signal. We found
ourselves running in your direction before any of us
realized what we were doing. 'One of our number
remarked 'My eyes are opened so wide that I see far
beyond the vale of death and the wonders that stand
revealed are beyond conception.' Another said 'I see
the whole world overcoming death. How vividly the words
come back `The last enemy Death shall be overcome.' Is
not this the fulfillment of these words? What pigmies
are our mere intellects in comparison with this
gigantic but simple understanding and yet we have dared
to look upon ourselves as giants of intellect. Why we
are mere babes! I just begin to see the meaning of `Ye
must be born again.' How true the words! 'I leave the
reader to imagine our surprise or bewilderment. Here
was a man with whom we had been in daily contact and by
whom we had been served daily that was able to lay his
body down for the protection of others and go on and
serve so very efficiently. Could it do otherwise than
recall 'He that is greatest among you shall be servant
or shall serve.' I think there was not one among us but
from that moment lost all fear of d-ath. These people
are accustomed to laying a body down before a village
in the jungle of a country infested with marauding men
and animals and that village is as safe from the
ravages of men and animals as though it were in a
civilized country. It was very evident that Jast's body
had been lying where we found it for a considerable
time. The hair had grown long and bushy and in it were
the nests of a little bird peculiar to the country.
These birds had built their nests reared their young
and the young had flown away thus giving unmistakable
evidence of the time the body had been in that position
and inactive. These birds are very timid and will
abandon their nests at the slightest disturbance. This
shows the great love and trust of the little birds.
Chapter V
We were up at sunrise the next morning and that day
returned to the village where we had left our outfit.
We arrived at the village just before dark and pitched
our camp under a great banyan tree. The next morning
Emil greeted us and we all began asking questions. He
said 'I do not wonder at your questions and I will
gladly answer all that I can at this time leaving
others until you have gone further into our work. In
talking to you as I am you fully realize that I am
using your language to convey to you the one great
underlying principle of our belief. 'When all know the
Truth and it is rightly interpreted truly is it not one
and all from the same source? Are we not all one with
the universal mind substance G-d? Are we not all one
great family? Is not every child everyone born no
matter the caste or creed a member of this great
family? 'You ask if we believe de-th is avoidable. Let
me answer in the words of the Siddha: `The human body
is built up from the individual cell like the bodies of
plants and animals whom we love to call younger and
less evolved brothers. The individual cell is a minute
microscopic unit of the body. By a process of growth
and division repeated many times this minute nucleus of
a cell-unit results at last in a complete human being
built up of almost countless millions of cells. These
body cells specialize for certain different functions
but they retain in the main the characteristics of the
individual cell whence they arose. This individual cell
may be looked upon as the torch bearer of animate life.
It p***** on from generation to generation the latent
fires of God the vitality of all living beings with an
unbroken ancestry reaching back to the time when life
first appeared on this planet.' This individual cell
has the property of unlimited youth. But what about the
group cells called the body? The group cells arose from
the individual cell repeated many times retaining its
individual characteristics one of which is the latent
fire of life or Eternal Youth. The group cells or body
function as guardian of the individual cell only during
the short span of life as you know it now. 'The most
ancient of our teachers by inspirational means
perceived the truth of the fundamental unity of life
reactions in plant and animal. We can well imagine
these teachers beneath the spreading banyan addressing
their pupils as follows: `Look at this giant tree. The
vital process going on in our brother this tree and in
ourselves is fundamentally the same. Behold the leaves
and the buds at the tips of the oldest banyan how young
they are young as the seed from which the giant sprang
into life.
The life reactions of plant and man being alike man
can certainly profit by the experience of the plant. As
the leaves and buds at the tips of the branches of the
oldest banyan are as young as the seed whence it sprang
even so the group cells in man forming his body need
not gradually lose their vitality and die but may grow
young and evergreen as the ovum or individual cell
itself. Indeed there is no reason why your body should
not grow as young and vital as the vital seed from
which it sprang. The ever-spreading banyan always a
symbol of everlasting life does not die except through
accident. No natural law of decay no old age process
seems to exist within the banyan tree to affect
injuriously the vital energy of its cells. The same is
true of the human form divine. 'There is no natural law
of death or decay for man except through accident. No
inevitable old age process exists within his body or
group cells nothing that can gradually paralyze the
individual. Death is then an avoidable accident.
Disease is above all dis-ease absence of ease or Santi
sweet joyous peace of the spirit reflected through the
mind in the body. Senile decay which is the common
experience of man is but an expression that covers his
ignorance of cause certain d-sease conditions of mind
and body. Even accidents are preventable by appropriate
mental attitude. Says the Siddha: `The tone of the body
may be so preserved that it may naturally resist with
ease infectious and other disease like plague and
influenza.' The Siddha may swallow germs and never
develop disease at all.'Remember that youth is God's
seed of love planted in the human form divine. Indeed
youth is the divinity within man youth is the life
spiritual the life beautiful. It is only life that
lives and loves the one life eternal. Age is
unspiritual mortal ugly unreal. Fear thoughts pain
thoughts and grief thoughts create the ugliness called
old age. Joyous thoughts love thoughts and ideal
thoughts create the beauty called youth. Age is but a
shell within which lies the gem of reality the jewel of
youth. 'Practice acquiring the consciousness of
childhood. Visualize the Divine Child within. Before
falling asleep suggest to your consciousness `I now
realize that there is within me a spiritual joy-body
ever young ever beautiful. I have beautiful sp-ritual
mind eyes nose mouth skin the body of the Divine
Infant which now tonight is perfect.' Repeat this
affirmation and meditate upon it quietly while falling
asleep. Upon rising in the morning suggest to yourself
aloud `Well dear (addressing yourself by name) there is
a divine alchemist within.' By the s-iritual power of
these affirmations during the night a transmutation
takes place and the unfolding from within the Sp-rit
has saturated this spir-tual body and spiritual temple.
The inner alchemist has caused de-d and worn-out cells
to fall and the gold of new skin to appear with
perpetual health and loveliness. Truly divine Love in
demonstration is eternal youth. The d-vine alchemist is
within my temple constantly coining new and beautiful
baby cells. The spirit of youth is within my temple
this human form divine and all is well. Om Santi!
Santi! Santi! (Peace! Peace! Peace!) 'Learn to smile in
the sweet way of a child. A smile from the soul is
spiritual relaxation. A real smile is a thing of true
beauty the artistic work of the `Inner Ruler Immortal.'
It is well to affirm think a kind thought for all the
world. May all the world be happy and blest. Affirm
before taking up the work for the day Within me there
is a perfect form the form Di-ine.

the teaching of Siddha. They are the oldest teachers
known and their teaching antedates all his story by
thousands of years. They went about teaching the people
and showing them the better way of life even before man
knew the simple arts of civilization. It is from their
teaching that the system of rulers sprang. But these
rulers soon wandered away from the realization that it
was G-d expressing through them. Thinking it was
themselves the personal who were doing the work they
lost sight of the sp-ritual and brought forth the
personal or material forgetting that all comes from the
one source Go-. These rulers' personal concepts gave
rise to the great separations in belief and the wide
diversity of thought. This is our concept of the Tower
of Babel.
The Siddha have preserved throughout the ages the
true inspirational methods of -od expressing through
mankind and through all His creations realizing that
G-d is All and that it is Go- manifesting through all.
They have never deviated from this teaching. Thus they
have preserved the great fundamental Truth.
'Chapter VI
The man we had left in the village to observe Emil
joined us here and re****ted that he had conversed with
Emil until nearly four o'clock of the day he was to
keep his appointment with us. Then Emil said he was
about to keep his appointment. His body immediately
became inactive and reposed upon the couch as though
asleep. It was in this position until about seven
o'clock in the evening when it gradually became more
indistinct and disappeared. It was at this time in the
evening that Emil came to us in the lodge at the little
village. We had made a number of short trips from our
headquarters with either Jast or Neprow accompanying us
and in every instance they had shown their sterling
qualities and worth. On one of these trips Emil Jast
and Neprow accompanied us to a village where a temple
called The Silence Temple The Temple Not Made By Hands
is located. This village contains the temple and the
houses of the attendants and is located on the former
site of a village that had been nearly destroyed by the
ravages of wild animals and pestilence. We were told
that the M-sters visited this spot and found a few
inhabitants left of about three thousand population.
They ministered to them and the ravages of the wild
animals and pestilence ceased. The few villagers vowed
that if they were spared they would from that time on
devote their lives to Go- serving Him in any way He
chose. The Mas-ers left and when they returned later
they found the temple erected and attendants in charge.
The temple is very beautiful situated on an elevation
overlooking a wide expanse of country. It is about six
thousand years old is made of white marble and has
never needed repairs as a piece chipped off replaces
itself as was proven by members of our party. Emil said
'This is called the Temple of Silence the Place of
Power. Silence is power for when we reach the place of
silence in mind we have reached the place of power the
place where all is one the one power Go-. `Be still and
know that I am -od.' Diffused power is noise.
Concentrated power is silence. When through
concentration (drawing to a center) we have brought all
of our forces into one point of force we have contacted
God in silence we are one with Him and hence one with
all power. This is the heritage of man. `I and the
Father are one.' There is but one way to be one with
the power of God and that is consciously to contact
God. This cannot be done in the without for God
manifests from within. `The L-rd is in His h-ly temple
let all the earth keep silent before Him.' Only as we
turn from the without to the silence of the within can
we hope to make conscious union with -od. We will
realize that His power is for us to use and we will use
it at all times. Then we will know that we are one with
His power. 'Then will humanity be understood. Man will
learn to let go of self-delusions and vanities. He will
realize his ignorance and littleness. Then will he be
prepared to learn. He will realize that the proud
cannot be taught. He will know that only the humble can
perceive the Truth. His feet will feel the firm rock
he will no longer stumble he will be poised in
decision.'To realize that G-d is the only power
substance and intelligence may be confusing at first.
But when man does realize the true nature of Go- and
brings Him forth into active expression he will use
this power at all times. He will know that he
consciously contacts His power at all times when he
eats when he runs when he breathes or when he does the
great work before him. Man has not learned to do the
greater works of -od because he has not realized the
greatness of G-d's power and has not known that Go-'s
power is for man's use. '-od does not hear us through
our loud and vain repetitions nor our much speaking.
We must seek G-d through the C-rist within the
invisible connection which we have within ourselves.
When the Father within is w-r****pped in Sp-rit and
Truth He hears the calls of that s-ul which sincerely
opens to Him. The one who makes the connection with the
Father in s-cret will feel the power flowing through
him as the fulfillment of every desire. For he that
sees the Father in the se-ret place of his own so-l and
there abides him the Father will reward openly. How
often Je--s disclosed his individual contact with the
Father. See how He constantly held Himself in conscious
communication with Go- within. See how He talked with
Him as though He were personally present. See how
powerful this sec-et inner relation made Him. He
recognized that G-d does not speak in the fire the
earthquake or the great wind but in the still small
voice the still small voice deep in our own sou-s.
'When man learns this he will become poised. He will
learn to think things through. Old ideas will drop
away new ideas will be adjusted. He will soon find the
ease and efficiency of system. He will learn at last to
take all the questions that perplex him into this
silent hour. There he may not solve them but he will
become familiar with them. Then he will not need to go
hurrying and battling through the day and feel that his
purpose has been defeated. 'If man would come to know
the greater stranger himself let him enter his own
closet and shut the door. There he will find his most
dangerous enemy and there will he learn to ma-ter him.
He will find his true self. There will he find his
truest friend his wisest teacher his safest adviser
himself. There will he find the altar upon which G-d is
the undying fire the source of all goodness all
strength all power himself. He will know that Go- is in
the deepest part of the silence. He will find that
within himself abides the H-ly of H-lies. He will feel
and know that his every desire is in G-d's mind and is
therefore -od's desire. He will feel and know the
closeness of the relation****p of Go- and man the Father
and the Son. He will realize that only in consciousness
has there been any separation of these which have
seemed two just as his spi-it and his body have seemed
to be two but which in reality are one.' Go- fills both
h-aven and earth. It was this great r-velation that
came to Jacob in the silence. He had slept on the stone
of materiality. In a great burst of d-vine i-lumination
he saw the outer is but the out-pressing or expression
of the image held within. So impressed was he by this
that he called out `Surely the Lo-d (or law) is in this
place (the earth or body) and I knew it not. This is
none other but the house of -od and this is the gate to
he-ven.' Man will realize as Jacob did that the real
gate to hea-en is through his own consciousness.' It is
this `ladder' of consciousness revealed in a vision to
Jacob which each of us must climb before we can enter
that silent sec-et place of the Most High and find that
we are in the very center of every created thing one
with all things visible and invisible in and of the
Omnipresence. In Jacob's vision he was shown the ladder
reaching from earth to hea-en. He saw the a-gels of G-d
descending and ascending upon it Go-'s ideas descending
from Spi-it to form and ascending again. It was the
same re-elation that came to J--us when the `hea-ens
were opened unto him' and he saw the wonderful law of
expression whereby ideas conceived in the di-ine Mind
come forth into expression and manifest as form. So
perfectly was this law of expression revealed to the
Mast-r that at once he saw all form may be transformed
or changed in form through a change of consciousness in
regard to it. His first temptation was to change the
form of stones to that of bread to satisfy personal
hunger but with the revelation of this law of
expression came the true understanding that stones as
well as all other visible forms have come forth from
the Universal Mind Substance G-d and are in themselves
true expressions of divine Mind and all things desired
(not formed) are still in this Universal Mind Substance
ready to be created or brought forth to fill every
desire.

This should be called "From Out Of East", Part 7, but
we'll call it "More From Out Of The East" Part 1. This
comes from the books or volumns called "Life And
Teachings of the Ma-ters Of The Far East".
Here we are told how to manifest bread.
........................................................
........................................................
Thus the need for bread but showed that the substance
with which to create bread or any other needed thing is
at hand without limitation and bread can be created
from this substance just as well as stones can be
created therefrom. Every good desire man has is G-d's
desire therefore there is an unlimited supply in the
Universal Go- Substance all about us to fill every
desire. All we need do is to learn to use what -od has
already created for us and this He wills to have us do
that we may be free from every limitation and thus be
`abundantly free.' 'When Je--s said `I am the door' He
meant that the I AM in each s-ul is the door through
which the life power and substance of the great I AM
which is G-d comes forth into expression through the
individual. This I AM has but one mode of expression
and that is through idea thought word and act. This I
AM G-d Being which is power substance intelligence is
given form by consciousness and for this reason the
Master said `According to your faith be it unto you'
and `All things are possible to them that believe.'
'Now we see that -od is within the s-ul as power
substance and intelligence or in s-iritual terms wisdom
love and truth and is brought out into form or
expression through consciousness. The consciousness
which is in the infinite mind of Go- and in man is
determined by the concept or belief that is held in
mind. It is the belief in separation from Sp-rit that
has caused our forms to age and d-e. When we see that
Spi-it is all and that form is constantly being
expressed from Spir-t then shall we understand that
that which is born of or brought out of Spiri- is
-pirit.
'The next great truth to be revealed through this
consciousness is that each individual being a concept
of the d-vine Mind is held in that Mind as a perfect
idea. Not one of us has to conceive himself. We have
been perfectly conceived and are always held in the
perfect mind of G-d as perfect beings. By having this
realization brought to our consciousness we can contact
the di-ine Mind and so reconceive what Go- has already
conceived for us. This is what Jes-- called being `born
again.' It is the great gift the silence has to offer
us for by contacting the G-d-mind we can think with
G-d-mind and know ourselves as we are in reality rather
than as we have thought ourselves to be.
We contact -od-mind through true thought and so bring
forth a true expression whereas in the past perhaps
through untrue thought we have brought forth an untrue
expression. But whether the form be perfect or
imperfect the Being of the form is perfect G-d-power
substance and intelligence. It is not the Being of the
form that we wish to change but the form that Being has
assumed. This is to be done through the renewing of the
mind or through the change from the imperfect to the
perfect concept from the thought of man to the thought
of Go-. How im****tant then to find -od to contact Him
to be One with Him and to bring Him forth into
expression. How equally im****tant is the silence or the
stilling of the personal mind that the G-d-mind in all
its splendor may illumine the consciousness. When it
does then we shall understand how `the sun of
righteousness (right-use-ness) shall rise with h-aling
in his wings.' The mind of -od floods consciousness as
sun****ne floods a darkened room. The infusion of the
Universal Mind into the personal mind is like the
entrance of the vastness of the outside air into the
impurity of that which has long been held in some close
compartment. It stands alone supreme and we realize
that we are to build but one temple. The Temple of the
Living Go- is the blending of the greater with the
lesser through which the lesser becomes one with the
greater. The impurity was caused by the separation of
the lesser from the greater. The purity is caused by
their union so that no longer is there a greater and a
lesser but just the one good whole pure air. Even so
must we know that -od is One and all things visible and
invisible are One with Him. It is separation from Him
that has caused sin sickness poverty and d-ath. It is
union with Him that causes one to become a whole Being
or to become conscious of being whole. 'The separation
from unity is the descent of the a-gels on the ladder
of consciousness. The return to unity is the ascent of
the an-els upon the ladder. The descent is good for
unity then becomes expressed in diversity but in
diversity there need be no concept of separation.
That which is diversity has been misconceived from
the personal or external viewpoint to be separation.
The great work for each so-l is to lift the personal
viewpoint to such heights in consciousness that it
becomes one with the whole. When all can `meet with one
accord in one place' that place in consciousness where
it is understood that all things visible and invisible
have their origin in the one Go- then we stand upon the
Mount of Transfiguration. At first we see Je--s and
with Him Moses and Elias or Law and Prophecy and the
Christ (the power within man to know -od) and we think
to build three temples but the deeper meaning comes. We
are given to realize the immortality of man and to know
that divinity is never lost that Di-ine man is
d-athless eternal. Then Moses the Law and Elias the
Prophecy disappear and the Christ stands alone supreme
and we realize that we have to build but one temple the
Temple of the Living G-d within our very selves. Then
the H-ly S-irit fills the consciousness and the sense
delusions of s-n sickness poverty and de-th become no
more. This is the great purpose of the silence. 'This
temple from which you may chip a piece and the scar
will be instantly healed but typifies the temple of our
body of which J--us spoke the temple not made by hands
eternal in the heavens which we are to bring forth here
on earth.
'Chapter VII
Thursday morning the sun rose clear and beautiful
but instead of pu****ng on as we had expected we were
told that we would wait where we were until the trails
had dried and the rivers had receded so we could
proceed more comfortably.
We were all fearful lest our provisions should be
exhausted and one of our party voiced this fear. Emil
who had charge of the whole outfit came to us and said
'You need not fear. Does not G-d take care of all His
creatures both great and small and are we not His
creatures? You will see that here I have a few kernels
of corn or corn seed. I will plant them.
By this act I have definitely said that I want corn.
I have formed corn in my mind. I have fulfilled the law
and in due season it will come forth. Is it necessary
for us to await the long arduous process that Nature in
her slow growth and unfoldment will take in order to
grow corn? If so we would be obliged to wait a long
hard time to obtain it. Why not use a higher or more
perfect law given us by the Father to produce it? All
that is required is to become quiet and visualize or
idealize corn and we have corn cured ready for use. If
you doubt it you can gather it grind it into meal then
make it into bread.' There before us was corn grown and
cured so that we did gather it and grind it and
afterwards made it into bread. Then Emil went on to say
'This you have seen and believe but why not use a more
perfect law and bring forth a more perfect thing or
exactly what you want, bread. You will see by using
this more perfect or as you would say more subtle law I
am able to bring forth exactly what I need, bread.'
And as we stood there spellbound a large loaf of
bread was in his hands nor did the supply stop until
there were forty loaves upon the table before us placed
there apparently by Emil himself. He remarked 'You see
there is sufficient for all if not sufficient more can
be supplied until there is enough and to spare.' We all
ate the bread and pronounced it good. Emil continued
'When --sus at Galilee asked Philip `Whence shall we
buy bread?' He did this to try him for within Himself
He knew full well there was no necessity to buy the
bread needed to feed the assembled multitude nor to
secure it through the material market then in
existence.

........................................................

He saw the op****tunity to prove to His disciples the
power of bread leavened or increased by the S-irit. How
often man in the mortal concept thinks as did Philip!
He was calculating as human consciousness is
calculating today from the visible supply on hand
thinking he had only so much bread or so much supply or
so much money with which to buy. Je--s recognized that
the one in C-rist Consciousness knows no limitation. He
then in Ch-ist Consciousness looked to G-d as the
source and creator of all and gave thanks for the power
and substance right at hand to fill every want. He then
broke and distributed through His disciples to those in
outer need until the need was supplied and there
remained twelve baskets over. J--us never depended on
the over-supply of another to fill His need nor the
need of another but He taught that our supply is right
at hand in Universal Substance where all supply exists
and all we need do is to create it or bring it forth.
Just so when Elisha multiplied the widow's oil. He did
not apply to someone having an over-abundance of oil
for had he done this the supply would have been
limited. He contacted the Universal and the only limit
to the supply was that all the vessels were filled. The
supply could have flowed on until this day had there
been vessels to receive it. 'This is not hypnotism.
None of you feel that you are in any way under a
hypnotic spell. Let me say that the only hypnotism is
the selfhypnotism of believing that each and every one
can not do the perfect works of G-d and create the
desired condition or thing. For is not the need itself
the desire to create? Instead of unfolding and creating
as Go- wills us to create you fold up in your little
shells and say `I can't' and you hypnotize yourselves
into actually believing that you are separate entities
apart from -od. You simply fall short of your perfect
creation or expression. You do not let G-d express
perfectly through you as it is His desire to do. Did
not Je--s the Great M-ster say `The works that I do ye
shall do also and greater works than these shall ye
do'? Was it not Je--s' true mission here on earth to
show that we as sons of Go- or man in his true estate
can create as perfectly and as harmoniously as Go-
does? When Je--s commanded the blind man to bathe
his eyes in the pool of Siloam was not this intended to
open the eyes of all? All were to see that Jes-- was
sent by the Father to show us that the Father intended
us to create exactly as He creates all are to do the
perfect work as J--us did by recognizing the Ch-ist in
himself and in all. 'I can go one step further. This
loaf I just received and held in my hand is consumed as
though burned by fire. What happened? I misused the
perfect law that brought forth my conception and
consumed that which I brought forth because of my
misuse or not using rightly or righteously the perfect
law which is as exact as music or mathematics or any
other so-called natural law. If I persisted in the
misuse of the perfect law it would consume not only
that which I create but would consume me the creator.
'Is the bread really destroyed? We will admit the form
is changed for in place of the loaf we have a small
amount of dust or ashes. Has it not in reality been
returned to the Universal Substance from which it
sprang? Is it not now in unmanifest form waiting to be
brought again into manifestation? Is this not the way
with all forms that go from our sight either by fire or
decay or in any other way? Do they not return to the
Universal Substance G-d from which they sprang? Is this
not the meaning of `What descends from he-ven must
ascend into hea-en'?'
A short time ago you saw ice formed without any
apparent cause as you perhaps think of it. Let me say
that that is the same as creating the bread. I can use
the law to obtain ice as well as bread just as long as
I use either as a benefit to mankind or as long as I am
working in living accord with the law or expressing as
God wishes all to express. It is good for all to make
bread or ice or any and all things desired and all must
press on to the stage at which they can do these
things. Can you not see that by using the highest law
the absolute law of -od you may bring forth that which
you need or conceive in mind as your highest idea and
thus please Go- more fully by manifesting more fully
knowing as Jes-- did that we are perfect Sons of Go-?
'Does not this suggest freedom from commercial bondage
as well as all other bondage? As I see it the
commercial bondage will in a few years become the
greatest bondage of all.
If it goes on at the rate it is now progressing it
will dominate man so-l and body and it cannot do
otherwise than consume itself and those that are
interested in it. There is no question but that the
first inception of commercialism was on a high
spir-tual plane but materialism was allowed to creep in
until the very power used to create is the power that
will consume just as the very power used to create will
always consume if not used rightly. Is not the pressing
of commercialism and limitations upon us crowding us on
to see that we must come up over or overcome these
conditions? Is not this done by simply realizing that
we are to do the perfect works of G-d to raise our
consciousness to the Ch-ist Co-sciousness? Is not this
what --sus taught us here on earth? Does not His whole
life exemplify this? 'My dear brothers do you not see
that in the beginning there was the Word and the Word
was with Go-? At this time everything to be formed
later was in unmanifest form in the Universal Mind
Substance or as expressed by some in chaos. This word
in the original was actuality. This word chaos is
misinterpreted to mean a turbulent or w-rring state
instead of the deep spi-itual state of actuality
always awaiting a definite creative spoken word through
which it can spring forth into manifest form. 'When Go-
principle desired to bring forth the world out of
Universal Mind Substance -od was quiet and
contemplative. In other words G-d saw an ideal world He
held in mind that substance of which the world was to
be formed a sufficient time to lower its vibration then
He spoke the Word and the world was formed or as we
might say Go- visualized a mental pattern or mold into
which could flow the substance needed to make the world
and it came forth a perfect form built upon the pattern
which was held in consciousness. 'All these things
might have been thought of by -od Infinite Power. He
might have wished during an indefinite time that they
were formed and made visible. Had not the definite
spoken word been put forth into the formless ether
nothing would have been created or brought forth into
visible form. In order to establish in visible results
the thought and desires of even an Infinite Omnipotent
Creator and bring orderly forms out of actuality it
took the definite positive `Let there be.' So must we
take the definite step. '-od is holding the ideal
perfect world in mind in every detail and it is bound
to come forth as a he-ven or perfect home where all His
children, all His creatures and all His creations may
dwell in peace and harmony. This is the perfect world
that G-d saw in the beginning and the one He is
thinking into existence right now and the time of its
manifestation lies in our acceptance of it. When we can
come to the one place and know that we are all one one
man and know that we are all members of Go-'s body as
much as one member of our body is a part of the whole
body then we are in and of -od's kingdom hea-en here on
earth now. 'To make this manifest realize that there is
nothing material in hea-en. All is spi-itual. Realize
that heav-n is a perfect state of consciousness a
perfect world here on earth now and all we need to do
is to accept it. It is here all about us waiting for us
to open the inner eye. Through that eye our bodies
shall be made light the light which is neither of the
sun nor moon but of the Father and the Father is right
here in the very innermost part of our being.
We must sufficiently realize that there is nothing
material that all is s-iritual. Then we must think of
that wonderful G-d-given spi-itual world which is right
here now if we can realize it. 'Do you not see that Go-
crated all in this way? Did not -od first become quiet
and contemplative and see the light? Then He said `Let
there be light' and it was so. In the same way He said
`Let there be a firmament' and it was so and likewise
with other creations He held each form or ideal
steadfast in consciousness then spoke the word and
the ideal was brought forth. Just so with man. Go- said
`Let us make man in Our image after Our likeness and
give him dominion over all.' -od all good created all
things good man the greatest and last with full
dominion over all. Then man saw only good and all was
good until man separated himself from G-d and saw
duality or two. Then he by his thought created two one
good and the other the opposite for if there were two
they would be opposite good and e-il. Thus ev-l came
through man's perfect power to express or bring forth
that which he gazed upon. If man had not seen evi- -vil
would have been given no power of expression.
Only the good would have been expressed and we would
be as perfect as Go- sees us today. Would not he-ven
always have been on earth as -od sees it and as we
must all see it to make it manifest? --sus had a
perfect right to say that He came from heav-n for did
not all come from heave- the great Universal Mind
Substance?
