four, FORWARD:                   

    In the Universal Essential, all good subsists in conscious readiness. This fine force the skill of demonstration in itself; therefore, whoever looks directly  toward it, instead toward instruments and methods, must make a draught upon It for deftness and skill of  in bringing to pass goodks of whatever kind  he/she chooses. It is conscious ownership of all things and, therefore,whoever looks straight to it for his provisions must, if looking by the understanding of his mind and not by his physical endeavors,  find that he draws upon it for plenty. He cannot help bringing his sustenance from it when he understands it as Sustenance  H.B. JEFFERY, continued:
   "He that hath bountiful eyes shall be blessed". He who beholds the bountifulness of God shall have what he sees, for there is no limitation in God. His bountifulness
 is inexhaustible and constant; His ways and means, innumerable. God is all the
Substance there is. The inexhaustible Substance is at your service, yet unchanging.
 It meets every claim made upon It and every aid sought It ministers to. "And all
 things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive".  When you
are working, it is the Spirit, Mind, God, working. So man’s work is always successful, for it is God’s work, perfect and divine. Acknowledgment of the fact makes you more ready and open channel for good.  
     IT HAS BEEN DECLARED and well proved that every letter, every word, and  every name has within itself a certain potentiality and power which–when that letter, word, and name is spoken–goes forth as vibratory force and is registered in the others. Not only is it recorded in the others, but first it is felt throughout the whole body of him/her who speaks it. We have long been taught that our every word is  recorded in our body. The enlightened of all ages have declared this to be so. But Humankind has been reluctant to accept this is true  Our words become flesh and  well among us.  One of old said:  "By thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned". Knowing the great law of the word, he spoke “as one having authority”.  If every name has a power peculiar to itself, the greatest of  all  names must necessarily have involved mystically within itself the greatest of all  names is sounded.  There is a name “far above all principality, and power”—a name which the sacred Scriptures say, "Every tongue shall confess". It is the Name of the Only Begotten of  God: JESUS CHRIST.
      "I am the Lord that healeth thee. Fear thou not, for I am with thee; be not dismayed, for I am God:  yea, I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee. Behold, thou art made whole".  Sacred Scripture. God is Spirit. He has made man in His own image and likeness. So man is a  spiritual being.  Man forever lives and moves and has his being from God and in God, the one Source and Creator of all that is. There is no material man.The man whom God created is spiritual, not material There is no material
world. The world which God created is also spiritual, not material God’s  OMNIPRESENCE, is the controlling Principle of all being. Man is governed by  God. God is the Father of man’s life. He is man’s indwelling Spirit which is all purity  and holiness.  There is no material life. Life is of God. All life is spiritual, not material.
            
   
     The mystery of Jesus, His true Nature and Being, is known to very few. Yet it is He, Jesus Christ, that is the Foundation of Christianity. The Rock upon which Christianity was built is the Fact that Jesus was God. He was not a man. He was not flesh, though He took upon Himself the form of flesh. Peter perceived this Truth that Jesus was God. "And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed are thou Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And  I say also unto thee, That thou are Peter, and upon this rock (this Truth of Me which has been revealed unto thee) I will  build my church; and the gates of hell shall not pevail against it". It was Simon, a man like ourselves, who received the understanding  that Jesus Christ was the Son of the Living God; and this understanding transformed his vacillating nature forthwith to one transformed his vacillating nature forthwith to  one of strength and firm-ness. Thereupon, with the change of his nature, his name was changed to Peter. You will never see God until you can see Jesus; for it is Jesus who reveals the Nature of God the Father—the Deity which is the Initiator, the Prime Mover, without beginning, yet the beginning of all else. “Christ means anointed, empowered, exercising power. It means God in action. Christ is God’s Word in activity as Man. Through Jesus the potential energy of the God-Man-Idea became kinetic and fully expressed. Jesus was fully God to the height and depth and breadth of God’s Will as Man.
                                   

      IN THE first words of that model Prayer which was given to us by the Master we see His clear perception and thorough understanding of the unity of life, especially human life. And throughout His teachings we find Him always declaring the great truth that all men are brothers, offspring of a common Father. Indeed, this truth is the most prominent feature of the Gospel (the Good Tidings) which Jesus commanded to be preached to every creature in All the world: “All ye are brethren….For one is your Father.”  An established understanding of this basic kinship is one of the foundation stones of that temple “not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.” So one of the first
lessons required in true mysticism is to apprehend the full meaning of universal            brotherhood; and the very first step that everyone must  take in “living the life” is
to accept the fact of the spiritual unity of all being as the fundamental principle
of existence.  The very first word, “Our,” contains a wondrous depth of meaning
which it would be well for us to ponder. It at once lifts us into the spiritual unity. It breaks down all barriers of race and creed, and it places us all—the saint as well as the sinner, the scholar as well as the savage—on the equal footing of children acknowledging one Father, "who is above all, and through all,  and in you all", and on whom we all depend for our life and being.            
                                       
           
      The devout and religious down through the centuries and throughout the world have accepted the Scriptural statement that “God is love”; and that therefore he that has love has God. We see further, that, if God is All-in-all, all love is God; and this must be understood and accepted by the world. Love may appear untrue, false, adulterated, selfish, and unclean. Nevertheless Love is God and must ever be recognized as God, if man is to know God and eternally abide in Him. "He that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him". We may say that we believe this; but in order to KNOW it, we must  constantly let our thoughts dwell on God and endeavor to understand Love in all its phases of expression. By doing this we shall perceive Love as the Divine  Impulse impelling all activity; we shall begin to realize that Love is the Principle of all harmony and coordination. 
    The recognition and realization of Love’s presence will destroy in our consciousness the sense of conflict and misunderstanding. Inasmuch as we see Love to be God, and God to be Love, we are quickened with the sense of being alive, and we then realize that Love is Life. All life comes from God, “seeing He giveth to all life, and breath, and all things”; and thus Love is  the great creative power.  But through God, Love, creates and gives life, God Himself  is UNCREATED; and those who imagine that they can create love, or cause it to be manifest by their efforts of will or show of personal appearance, do deceive themselves with their misconception of  love as charm and enchantment.
