the various cults, as nothing counts here except the pass-word, and that is the Christ-consciousness. When man has this, he does not need to announce to the people that he has attained unto those heights, because all men with whom he comes in touch knows he has drunk from the Christ-cup. That nectar which man finds in the Christ-cup fills man with humility, tolerance, gentleness and brotherly kindness, and these radiate from him in smiles of cheer to his fellow man as he sees him carrying burdens of care,-in a word of encouragement to the discouraged one, in a genial welcome to the stranger, and in a prayer for those in affliction and distress. When man drinks the nectar, which is in the cup of the Christ-mind and Heart, he walks upon the Highway of our God. Walking upon this Highway which lieth throughout the length and breadth of Paradise, man laughingly lives in God's Law and understandingly abides in the living Presence of the Father. No clouds cast even a fringe of their presence there, for the sunlight of God shines there, and it is so bright, strong and clear that nothing can mar its brilliancy; and no discord can enter that Paradise of Beauty, Light, Glory and Peace;-no, not one discordant note can strike in all that Sublime Vastness. The harmonious vibrations fill all the land of Paradise and man walks upon the Highway of our God, which he finds there. Mortal man! Thou who art still asleep in the dream of the carnal illusion, thou canst never walk upon the Highway of our God until thou awakest from the AdamSlumber. Arise! and search out that Highway; then gain understanding as to how to enter its greatening splendor. All men will sometime awaken from the sleep of carnality, which the first Adam plunged man into, and walk in that Light which Jesus came to earth to bring and teach and let shine. God, our Infinite Father, did not cause creation to come forth into manifestation, the universes and systems of universes to abound, that only a few men might be redeemed from the Adam-illusion, but that all men may; and not only that, but that all men may be saved and stand again in Paradise in the Presence of the Father, who then is as Real to the Conscious Son of God as man is real to another in the natural life. To live in that land and walk upon the Highway of our God, man is quickened into the reality of the Eternality of himself, the universe and the Infinite, seeing All as he walks upon the Highway of our God. JESUS J CHAPTER XXIV CHRIST THE WAY-SHOWER. THE ESUS CHRIST is our Elder Brother. He is the Soul which has become conscious of its Sonship; become conscious that He and the Father are one. He trod the path of Earth. He met, solved and mastered all problems to which humanity is heir in the carnal law. He, being the Conscious Son of God in conscious expression, knew whereof He spake when He spoke to the Sea and a calm took the place of the raging storm. He knew whereof He spake when He spoke the word and the dead arose. He knew whereof He spake when He cast the evil spirits out from those who were deaf and dumb. He knew whereof He spake when He prayed that prayer by which the loaves and fishes became manifest and the multitudes were fed. He knew whereof He acted when He walked upon the water. Jesus Christ was the Conscious Son of God; He was the Divine man in expression here upon earth, that man may see and know what a man can be and express, when he knows God as He is and knows man in his Reality. Jesus Christ walked the earth among the peoples of the earth and proved Himself a master over every obstacle which He encountered for Himself and for those who called upon Him for help. He left His teachings clear, so that man when he has the Christ born within him can learn the way; therefore, He is called the Way-Shower. He is the Way-Shower only to those who have the Christ born within them and are sufficiently awakened to the grand verities of the Truth, to perceive that man must become a conscious son of God here on this earth; that now is the time that with the understanding clearenough they may know that they now are individual manifestations of God, Who is the reality of their being; and whose work is to bring the individuality of His Being into manifestation in man's consciousness. When the Divine man (the Real of every man) becomes evident, personality is absorbed by individuality. What is the difference between the personality of man and the individuality! Personality is that which is the expression of the carnal mind; it is the mortal man and subject to the carnal laws which act in and through humanity. As long as man believes that the personality is himself, he does not know and understand his individuality, which is his Real-Self and the Divine-Man which God created. The Divine Man, the Real Self of each and every man, stands today as it has stood all down the ages since that day in the dawn of which man became an individualized manifestation of the Living God. The Divine Man of each man has never been born and never will die. Birth and Death have no power to contaminate it; neither disease nor pain have any power or influence over it. As long as man lives in the personal concept only, he is in the law of carnality. The physical form is conceived in the generation period; the infant is born, grows from infancy to manhood and old age. Man as long as he lives in the understanding and belief that the personality is himself (being under the carnal law, by and through his beliefs) passes from birth to death and back to birth in one continuous round; it is as a tread-mill, continually acting, but not moving forward. Jesus Christ came with a message. When that message is understood by the man, awakened sufficiently to seek until the Christ is born within him, he learns, if he follows the Way-Shower, the Master, that he, too, can step aside from the Wheel of Birth and Death. If man is Divine in his Real Being which God created, then truly sometime, somewhere, that Divinity, that "Divine Spark" will prevail and become the dominant man. When the Divine Man becomes the dominant man, he then lives in his individuality; the personal man, which was subject to disease, pain, discord and death, having disappeared, being merged into individuality; and individuality is the Divine Man, perfect in form and statue, with the Mind of God working through him and the Breath of God breathing him. The man whom God created is Divine and perfect. Jesus Christ walked among men in the Divine Consciousness and expression. When any other Soul is thoroughly awakened and has the Christ born within him, he may see and behold what man really is and in what degree of Divinity he can attain, expressing it here on the earth. Jesus Christ did His works and taught His message, that man may see the possibility for all. If man desires to remain in the carnal slumber, after he is aroused, he will continue as other men who are living in the carnal concept and are ruled by the carnal law. He will suffer pain and permit a little pain to control him and a cold wind to throw him into sickness, which may force him, the Divine, the Real Self, to withdraw from the physical body; but he has gained nothing, because he passes out from the physical personality in the belief in carnality and, when he returns |
