The whirling of the mind
must be stilled .

The thoughts that arrange
the molecules of
the mirror of consciousness
need the calmness
of a still pool
that we may be able
to see clearly .

F or centuries mankind have had dangled before them the baubles and trinkets of life. Swinging before our gaze, their hypnotic effect has confused and diffused our sense of direction so that the meaning of Love is lost in the strange phantasmagoria of the world whirl.

Let us, then, still our minds, the mirror in which God is reflected.

Though we had never seen beforeif this were our first day on earth and we had come in with the full-blown consciousness of our present momentin order to see the face of God, we would still require a clear mirror. For it is we, the individual, who must perceive God.

It is not enough that his Spirit is omnipresent in the world. He is everywhere. But we do not necessarily perceive him in the wind that blows nor in the temperature changes that affect the weather. Nor do we see God in the faces of those whom we meet, for our attention goes to the outer appearance, the overlay of error that requires transmutation.

T here are many hearts hungering and thirsting after righteousness. And it is the will of Christ that they should be filled. Who will fill them? Where are the shepherds who will feed the sheep?shepherds who see themselves as the L ORDS instruments, through whom he will answer the soul longings of his children.

Yes, the command Feed my sheep tells us that God expects us to do that which he, by the divine Law and the divine Will, has reserved for his servant-Sons and their disciples.

Feed my sheep. The very words and the imploring of the Master tell us we are needed by the L ORD above to care for his own here below. Because we are so loved, we are sparked with the desire to serve as mediators of the Word, to be positioned in an orderly hierarchy of offices ordained for the performance of specific duties and responsibilities within the Body of God that are vital to the Holy Spirits intercession.

Listen, now, to the apostle Paul as he recounts Jesus teaching to him on the mystery of Christs Universal Body: For as the body is one and hath many members and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.

For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free, and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.

Now ye are the Body of Christ, and members in particular.

And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?

Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?

But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.

And that more excellent way is Charitythe Self-givingness of Love itself. Therefore in Charitys flame we see the disciples as intermediaries between Christ and the sweet children of the Light who hunger and thirst after righteousness and must be filled day by day by the co-workers and co-servants of the Brotherhood.

And Charity herself, the beloved complement of Archangel Chamuel, is the heavenly handmaid of our labor of Love. Through her compassionate, all-knowing eyes we perceive that as man hungers for his daily bread, so his soul thirsts for the one thing that can quench his thirst: the spiritual graces that are here and everywhere reflected in and beyond the world order.

We see them hiding in the sunbeams and just behind the rainbow in the sky. In the play of light and shadow in the clouds. In the dancing of wind and wave upon the sea and in the rolling of the waters undulating with the earth currents. Through the golden wheat and the blue-green grasses, as they bow to the dominion of the hierarchs of the elements.
