Upwards through all the ages, with never any descent, Man pursues still the glorious

march which shall eventuate in making him one with the Father —more than man

finite—Man infinite! Angelic!

Hope springs eternal in the human breast―

Man never is, but always to be blest―

The soul, uneasy, and confin'd from home,

Rests and expatiates in a life to come.

DEATH IS AS NATURAL AS BIRTH

Death is simply one beneficent stage of nature―

A beneficent measure controlled by Divine Providence―

God’s great ordinance―

Universal and inevitable and natural.

All death in nature is birth, and in death itself, the exaltation of life appears visibly!

There is no destructive principle in nature, for nature throughout is clear, unclouded

life.


Death is the ladder by which my spiritual vision rises to a new life and a new nature.

THE SUM OF KARMA

Action and reaction are equal.

That which a man sows he shall reap is a law of the universe—

The pathway to the spirit realms leads a person to the locality where he can reap

what he has sowed, or feel the presence of his own acts.

Phylos, my brother, there is no man or woman but hath in some past as well as

present life done grievous evil to one or more fellow beings, man or animal.

Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he reap. And our Father hath ordained that in

life, subsequent to the one witnessing the greater sins, he that did them must also

requite them. Must do so by setting against the evil counterbalancing good. Not else

shall anyone come into the Kingdom. This is the law of karma.

―Sohma, son of Mol Lang, to Phylos, the Thibetan

This late 1960s photograph shows a seated, listless child, who was among many kwashiorkor cases found in Nigerian relief

camps during the Nigerian –Biafran war. Kwashiorkor is a disease brought on due to a severe dietary protein deficiency, and

thinning hair, anaemia, a potbelly, and shiny skin. A large number of relief camps were established for nutrition assessment and

feeding operations for the local villagers around the war zone―Dr Lyle Conrad―Centres for Disease Control and Prevention,

Karma is the Christ law saying, Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.

Earth is a letter in a sevenfold alphabet;

The stellar universe is but one book;

Yet besides this book,

The library of the Creator is of endless number.

The human race is but a letter in the Divine Library of Being.


Karma is penalty for evil doing, and it is the law of God; it knows no abatement of

payment, accepts no vicarious price, but is faithful gaoler over that prison which is

life-action; whoso is cast therein shall not come out until every farthing is paid.

Beware, then, of doing wrong, for thou must bear the penalty, only thou. Verily, life is

long enough to make payment; it is better to have none to make!

We go now to a view of the truth that the spirit came from the Father, and returneth

to Him after it hath fulfilled the law and the prophets; it liveth in the worlds of cause a

short span, but in those of effect a long span, for passivity is to activity as about

eighty to one, and the lives are many, strung like beads on the one cord of the

individual ego.

Lastly, the ego coming from the Father hath no sex; it is not man, neither woman, but

sexless. When it entereth upon life it becometh double, so that in the earth there is a

man and there is a woman, and though the bodies and the animal souls and the

human souls be different in the twain, yet behold, their spirit is one and the same.

Now sometimes the two, being of one spirit, are also husband and wife. Yet more

often, they are not, for the age of harmony is not yet at hand. But it is of such

singleness of spirit that the Bible saith, What God hath joined, let no man put

asunder. There is no man who could, if he would, so sunder. But that saying is not of

the carnal marriage, but of the spirit unit only. And the latter hath no lust. But when

the twain shall, after the millions of years which lie between the non-esoteric

Christian and Nirvana, come to know all the law of life, then will the union be as it

was before the separation. Thou canst not really comprehend the truth now, but

when thou shalt at last be done with earth life, thou wilt then recall it and know. And

knowing it, thou wilt then tell the world of it. But not now. Now is this true―Mates in

the Lord cannot know each other as such until they both will to live after the rule of

His Highway. And the latter hath nothing carnal. Straight is the Gate and narrow is

the Way that leadeth unto Life, and few there be that find it. Until they find it they find

not each other; neither release from incarnation in the flesh.

The spirit is a mirror that reflects inward emotions—

The world should learn this important fact—

Licentiousness, selfishness, and wrongdoing may be indulged in to that extent that

the spirit becomes darkened and dwarfed thereby, and when its transit to Spirit life is

effected, its true character is revealed.

A seed, if planted in a darkened room where the genial sunshine is never allowed toenter, though watered and tended with scrupulous care, only presents a skeleton, asit were, of what it would have been had it been allowed free access to the illuminatedatmosphere.

While on earth, we adapt ourselves for a particular place in the spirit realms—

The pathway to the spirit realms leads a person to the locality where he can reap

what he has sowed or feel the presence of his own acts.

That which a man sows he shall reap is a law of the universe!

Action and reaction are equal. If we render anyone's life desolate; if we make him

wretched and miserable, the action and reaction will be equal and we will receive in

the desolation experienced in our own person just what we meted out to him. The

natural tendency of our selfishness is to paralyse and contract the spirit until it

becomes a mere pigmy in dimension, rendering its appearance more hideous

[deformed and darkened spiritual body] than it otherwise would have been.

Impress on the children of earth this fact, that whatsoever they sow they shall

reap and you will do more to moralise and refine them than in any other way. The

outer covering of the soul of the indwelling conscious self is composed exactly of

such material as the sphere to which it gravitates. While on earth, your physical

organisation is evolved from the various elements and connected therewith is the

indwelling spirit. Acts of licentiousness, intense selfishness, and a life in the purlieus

of vice modify the character and texture of the latter and prepare it for a sphere

corresponding with the life led here [Spiritual World].

I say emphatically that every truly honest work or act of charity that cheers a

THE SEVENFOLD CHARACTER OF OUR NATURES

Man is a composite being, having seven principles, viz., the I AM, or ego; the spirit

body; the human soul; the animal soul; the astral reflection of the two lowest

principles, by name, vital force and the earthly body thereby animated. Thus far, I

regret to say, the mass of mankind is not developed much beyond its animal soul; a

minority have the human soul shining forth, but only occult adepts have the Sixth or

spirit body developed, while none of whom the world knows except Jesus and

Buddha are perfect in the Spirit of the Father.

By the way, what is the mundane idea of God? You say that God is omnipotent,

omnipresent, eternal. Very good. But the earthly idea of these things is very narrow.

Conceptions can never rise higher than their source, hence, God is, although a noble

ideal, not nearly so great to the world as He is to Hesperus. Do you say that I am

inconsistent, denying my own high claims for Man and that I am virtually negativing

the statement that conceptions can rise to the level of their source? I reply that the

Father limits the height of the source. What do I mean? I mean that He speaks to the

partially developed human soul on the earth plane from the level of human principle

in Himself, but from no higher plane. Hence, the terrene conception of Him is that ofa perfect Person, all-powerful, ubiquitous, eternal, but a person; whereas He is

impersonal. But to the Hesperian, God speaks of Himself and His works from the

level of Spirit, which is above soul; it is the level of the Oversoul of Emerson. I hope

you will study that statement, for nothing I have said means more, is more important

in all this book.

Behold, Phylos! If I have but the seed, the herb shall come forth after its kind. But if I

do not have the seed, my poor, human soul wisdom could not make that herb grow.

Having seed, I can bring God's Viviant Fire to aid its germination—see! It sprouts,

and again watch it—it grows visibly.

I was astonished to see, mounting up as fast as evening shadows lengthen, green

tendrils and buds unfolding even as the flowers of primula spring forth, flowers,

blossoming, blossomed; seed scarps forming, formed, and the matured fruit hanging

in clusters in the radiant flame of the Vita Mundi, as high as my head from the

ground, where erst there had been but vacant soil. And this girl, who declared herself

not a grown woman, exercising such magic as this and thinking it only ordinary! This

was an inherent power of the Human Principle, my friends, and will be common to

you also when you become developed in the Human. Earthly man is yet only in the

initial of his humanity in a few favoured cases, but is very largely in his animality.

Most of mankind is merely animal, not human, save by courtesy. Yet the dawn of the

glorious new era is at hand, and in its fullness of days, Christ shall come again to it

and enter into the hearts of his own, and it shall be the Father that shall enter, and by

Messiah. Be yet then prepared for the coming of the Spirit, for no man knoweth the

day nor hour thereof.

My friend, it is the soul that is chained, not the body of man. Unchain thy souls, oh,

brethren, and seek to know the things of heaven, of the high life with God, and all

things else shall be added unto you, yea, even to the ability to explore the stars in

person.


I need not say thoughts are things, for all things are thoughts. Even a stone is a

thought concept of the Eternal Spirit, and the stone seen by ordinary eyes is but the

externalisation of the idea.

THE SPIRIT HOME

But where do we go? I inquired.

We go where the weary find rest, and the conflicting antagonisms of human society

disturb no more. We go where the pure will never become vitiated with wrongs, and

where rivers of light roll on, refreshing the mind forever. We go where nature is

understood, and her laws obeyed. We go where truth is wisdom, and where no

mockery of duty answers the call of need. We go where we wish, and when we go,

we will not cease to remember that our return will be cheered with music, vibrating in

harmony with human redemption from the whirlpool of angry waters. We will not tarry

among the wrongs and evils of a mourning world, but we will visit a wonder away

from human cares, where order and harmony are appreciated, and spirits

concentrate on admiring and glorifying the Ruler of unnumbered worlds. There is a

world you have not seen, a music you have not heard, a joy you have not

experienced, where the storm of contention neither lashes against its shore nor the

groans of distress reach the borders of my spirit home.

THE VOICE

To stand—is to have confidence. To hear —is to have opened the door of thy soul.

To see—is to have attained perception of My Works. To speak—is to have gotten

the power of helping others. To have conquered desire—is to have acquired control

of self. To have self-knowledge—is to have come unto Me, whence thou art able to

impartially view the personal man that was thyself. To have seen thy soul in its

bloom To have self-knowledge—is to have come unto Me, whence thou art able

impartially view the personal man that was thyself. To have seen thy soul in its

bloom—is to have had a momentary glimpse of that transfiguration which shall

eventually make thee more than Man.

Stand aside in the coming battle, and though thou fightest, be not thou the warrior.

Look for Me, and let Me fight in thee. Obey My orders for battle. Obey Me as if I were

thyself. My orders thy desires—for I am thyself, for I am thyself, yet infinitely more

than thee. Look for Me, lest in the fever of battle thou pass Me. I will not know thee if

thou knowest not Me. If thy cry come to Me, lo! I will fight in thee and will fill the void

in thee. Then shalt thou be unwearied. Without Me thou shalt fall; with Me thou canst

not fall, for I am the Spirit.

Listen now to the song of life in thy heart. Do not say It is not there. Listen deeper.

This song is in every breast; it may be obscure, yet it is there. Not the most wretched

outcast but it is in him, for all are children of the Father, which is I. Listen to My Song,

for while thou art yet but man, I shall not speak continually, and thy strength must

sometimes be in memory of Me.

— A Being of Good to Phylos the Thibetan




THE GREAT, UNIVERSAL KARMA

How little humanity on Earth knows that it is thus guided. Yet our Father gives it to

His occult children to lead their lesser brethren, just as He gave it to Jesus—one of

the Sons of Light, higher than any other, who was an incarnation of the Christ.

Perhaps human acts were not, are not, guided individually, as a rule, although

exceptions exist. But just as shot, running in grooves, is checked by the leaden

pellets before and behind, so the acts of one man depend on the acts of others;

these on others still until finally it appears that the mass is influenced in the whole,

and every individual in the mass has his or her acts unconsciously controlled by what

are termed circumstances—fates—adverse or propitious—inexorable, the grooves in

which they run. That is to say, humanity is ordered in its action by what may be

named the Universal Karma. So long as men grope in the dark, ignorant of occult

laws, so long must they produce this inexorable karma. It is fate, self-made, running

from life to life, incarnation after incarnation, unavoidable, for it is born of the

infraction of the laws of the Creator.

The great religious movements, wars, and the fields of commerce all, furnish

experiences for mankind. Do some seem cruel, evil? Yet each is a part of the

scheme of the Creator, each is a tool in the hands of His ministers, and all teach that

except a man, as part of the Eternal Whole, works for that Whole, subduing the

selfish animal in himself, he can in no wise come to the Father.

Except by My Path, says the Saviour.

―Phylos the Thibetan

Whatsoever is asked of the Father in the Christ's name, that shall He grant.

But consider that asking in the name of the Christ is asking for the things of His

Kingdom.

With the gift of these things all lesser things shall be added—food, raiment, and all

else the body hath need for. This is hard for the natural mind to comprehend. He will

not let thee perish though thou die of hunger.

Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. This is karma and the law, and

every jot of it must be fulfilled. The man is a creature of many incarnations, each

earth life one personality, strung on the unbreakable string of his egoic Individuality,

which reacheth from everlasting to everlasting, from the East unto the West.

No telescope will ever reveal human life on Venus; not that it is not there, but its

forms are of the One Substance effected by a range of force rendering them

imperceptible to earthly eyes. You will not think the air any less material, or electricity

any less real because your eyes cannot perceive them. Your eyes are very limited in

their visual range; if the One Substance vibrates more or less rapidly than an

exceedingly small length of time, producing correspondingly minute force

wavelengths, your eyes cannot cognise such vibrations. It is the same with your ears

and hearing. If your eyes and ears were not thus limited, you would see every sound,

and hear every sunbeam. Every rainbow would be vocal, while heat, which now you

only feel, would furnish an amazing wealth of sound and vision. But so long as you

fancy that because you have eyes you can see all that there is to be seen and that

your ears hear all that is worth hearing, so long you will depend on these organs,

and gain that sort of false ideas of the Universe which must arise from entire

ignorance of all except the tiny bit of creation you occupy. So long, too, will you

depend on the telescope to reveal truths about other worlds; you will hunt for

evidence of human life on the nearer planets, but you will never find any until you

cease to expect that matter will reveal soul; it cannot do it, for the finite cannot reveal

infinity. Turn it about; ask of the soul revealment of itself and of matter also, and all

worlds will draw near to you, show their teeming vitality of life, and all nature will

uncover such treasures as the hungry soul of science has never found before.





A Jicarilla Man, 1904, Edward S. Curtis

Now, in the soul realm, if a human being is content with the gradual, easy pitch of the

Godward ascending plane of pure daily life, daily temptations to work in error, and

too often fall, progress upward will be slow, but very sure. But, on the contrary, if

eager to learn rapidly, it must meet in a few hours all the crushing force of

temptations to err and to sin which the ordinary man meets distributed through many,

many incarnations, covering ages, aye, aeonian time. In the one case, the Father

giveth sufficient of the daily bread of strength unto men to enable them to progress

very slowly, but with certitude. GOD-CHRIST in thee can alone win this struggle.

There is but one Guide; follow and win; follow not, and fail. It is a new conception to

thee to learn there is an animating ego, a world spirit, inmateriated in each star, each

planet, every stellar body, just as there is an individual soul in each human, animal or

plant body. Yet this is true. True also it is that the spirits of men will progress; will

face the supreme ordeal, and, if they pass victorious, will enter that long rest,

heaven, devachan—call it as thou wilt—Nirvana. But that is not the end, for life had a

beginning—it hath also an end. And the perfect human ego emerging eventually

from Nirvana, that long devachan of all the incarnations, emerges not as Man; it

does not live, but It is, and Its post-viviant existence is a state of Being which no

human mind could understand, except inferentially it do so through the knowledge

that that state is to Life as the senior to the junior. But ere then is the trial of

transfiguration; if we fail, then that is the second death, for it cometh not until the

essaying soul be perfect, and be ready to leave the pupaceous state of Human Life,

to be judged according to [its] works for Him who made it.




I wish thee to observe also this—that if thou thinkest the judgment day, when

according to its works thy soul is arraigned by thy spirit, which is God in thee, if thou

thinkest that because that day may be in remote aeons ere it come, and therefore

thou hast ample time to lag, to err, I counsel thee it is a fatal mistake. For if at the

great trial any man fail it is because, day by day, as the lives were run, he neglected

his chances, either by omission or commission. Then shall such suffer the second

death, be cast into the lake of fire—in other words, their Spirit will depart from the

soul and go unto the Father, while the soul will be gathered into the sum of force —

the Fire element—that which is sum of all lesser force forms, out of which springeth

life, heat, and vibration. But this will not be until the erring one hath passed from his

soul into his spirit. So the second death is not of the sinner; it is the cutting off of all

his, or her, spoiled work, and a chance to begin again, to build better; our Father

damneth not His child, but only the imperfect work, the sinning soul.

—Sohma, son of Mol Lang, to Phylos, the Thibetan

Use all things as abusing none. Drugs, as drugs; food, as not gluttonously; drinks, as

not bibulously; society, as a study; marriage, as a Way, but continency, as His

Highway. The most of our race must go on the lower path, for the Cliffbrow Way is

too dizzy; none can walk it, save He holds their hands, and few there be that will to

let Him, for desires tempt them. But they that refuse that Life now, how shall they find

it again? They will not, and so shall cease with the world. Being in the middle of its

sojourn upon the Earth, the race is half through an experience of life that hath

engaged it for a period of time too vast for thy real comprehension.

—Phyris, Mol Lang’s daughter, to Phylos, the Thibetan
