rejoices to learn that the God-Spirit is forever within him and that the holy Breath of God breathes him.

When man learns this, it is his privilege to seek for the Path, which leads to Love and devotion until he finds himself so emancipated from the thraldom of carnality that he perceives his nearness to, yes, At-onement with, the Father.

Jesus Christ, when speaking unto the awakened and quickened man, said, "I and the Father are one, but the Father is greater than I." He also said, "The Father within me, He doeth the works." When the veil of mystery is rent in twain, man can see the oneness of God and the inseparableness of man,-God's manifestation, from God.

Thus we see that there is a Oneness, a Wholeness, which is a mystery beyond the carnal man's concept. In the gloom and darkness of the garden, when Jesus moved into the cold carnal current of death, He seemed for a short time to lose His realization of His At-onement with the Father and He cried out, "My God! My God! Why hast thou forsaken me?" but, in an instant the Christ became the Master and He exclaimed, "Father, not my will but thine, be done." The adversary is ever ready to turn the devotee from the clear recognition of the Truth of his Being; but the Christ is ever alert to rebuke and cast out the illusive adversary. The Christ is man's inheritance. It is the individualized manifestation of God, expressed in man. The carnal mind is the counterfeit of the Christ-Mind.

The carnal mind and body of man are to be redeemed, transmuted, into the Real man; and those who are awake and prepared to hear the sounding note, the vibration of which will raise the vibration of the mind and body from the vibrations of earth to the vibrations of Spirit, these will become conscious sons of God.

The light which is now flashing clear and bright over the earth is, "Awake, thou that sleepeth;" arise, cast

away the grave-clothes of the past and press forward unto the prize of the high-calling, in Jesus Christ, the glorified, God-Conscious Son of the Living God.

CHAPTER XV

THE LABYRINTH OF GOD'S GLORY.

S man walks onward upon the Christ-Path, which is the Path the initiated have trod, guided by the Christ, he approaches mystery after mystery and pauses before them until, through prayer and devotion, he gains sufficient insight to solve them and pass on; and man, as he traverses the labyrinth of God's Glory, becomes so translucent, that he is a part of the glory of God and moves onward upon the mystic Path, vibrating with and radiating the glory of God.

We read in olden times that the glory of God became so great that it filled the ark, the tabernacle and the court. This was a glimpse of the Glory of God. A Soul, feeling the glory of God, exclaimed, "The glory of God shall fill the earth, as the waters cover the sea. The Glory of God is one of the mysteries of God.

As man moves onward he catches a glimpse, now and then, of this glory; but he is unable to retain it, as it requires the fully awakened and Christ-filled man to traverse the Labyrinth of God's glory. Stage after stage must be passed and initiations take place, ere the initiate is permitted to enter the glory of God, which is far beyond the conception of the newly-awakened one.

God, our Father-Mother, has never left mankind without guidance, it matters not in what stage of evolution they are, though the finite intelligence knows not the requirements of each stage of evolution. Man, "The image and likeness of God," does not evolve, but remains perfect, as God created him, through all stages

of evolution. Then we see that it is the carnal, or counterfeit, man which evolves.

When man learns the Truth of his Being, and that he is inseparable from God, he will have passed from the stage of evolution and will walk in the Glory of God; but the labyrinth of God's glory is so mystical and magical, that man moves forward in the maze thereof, ever entranced by the White Light of the Glory; and, so enchanting is the White Light of Life and the golden glow of Love, that man walks the mystical Path through the Eternality of Eternity and grows not weary, nor sighs; because Love, Life and the Glory of God are there.

When man shall scale the heights and move along the mystic Path in God's glory, all regrets, disappointments and anticipations have disappeared from his mind; his carnal mind, the mind of earth, having been consumed and merged into the Christ Mind, as nothing but that which is redeemed can enter upon that degree of the Path.

The Glory of God is so great, that none but the initiate can abide in its glory. O, the glory, the mystery of God! Who can understand it? None, but the one who has traversed the Path from his awakening from the carnal sleep and has passed the initiations until he has arrived at the initiation which is called the glory initiation. It is that which transcends all other steps which the initiate has taken.

In using the term initiate, we are referring to the disciples of Jesus Christ and all devotees of Truth. No man can awaken from a sound sleep of, perhaps ages, into a full recognition of all that has transpired while he slept; so, no man can awaken from the slumber of carnality into the "glorious liberty of the Son of God" at a bound. As man, rung by rung, ascends the ladder of fame, so man, step by step, moves forward upon the mystic Path, that Path which has been called Sacred

by all the Holy men who have traveled upon it through the earth's existence.

When man arrives at the initiation known as the Glory Initiation, he has passed away from the wheel of life, carnal life, known as birth and death, and is a master; and, according to his desire, so it is with him, if he remains age after age in the labyrinth of God's Glory and lingers long in the enchanted nooks of the maze of Glory; or, if he soon returns to earth as a messenger to mankind, that they, too, may be instructed so they can enter upon the Sacred Path.

If the self-will has been entirely merged into the Will of the Father, man will have no desire except to do the bidding of the Father. This is a higher degree of initiation than the one in which is the man who enters the initiation with even a little of the self-will lingering in his mind.

The Glory of God is deep and mysterious. It moved before the Hebrew children as a cloud by day and a pillar of Fire at night. The Glory of God filled the upper room in Jerusalem where the disciples were met together, as with a rushing mighty wind; and tongues of flame expressed it. If man has been initiated into the Glory of God, he will recognize this glory at all times and in all places; yea, in the busy marts of the great city, as well as in the mountain solitude, and in the barren desert as on the great deep.

The Glory of God is as Omnipresent as God. Who can think of the presence of God and not remember His Glory Man sees the dark and lowering cloud and hears the rumbling of the thunder as it reverberates through the canyons and low hills; and, as the rumbling is lost in the distance, who does not remember the greatness of God? and, as the rain refreshes the earth, causing grass and flowers to spring forth, who, save the man who is sound asleep, can pass carelessly along and not permit these expressions of greatness to re
