To Master Self Is To Master Life
excerpts from pages 248-250

God Is the One True Reality behind Every Form

There are so many things to learn, aren't there! So many object lessons. But these things are seen only by those who have an eye and heart to see. Everywhere we look, we can see God and His will at work. There is nothing in life that can't teach us if we seek oneness with Him. Who is He anyway! I often use the words "it is so simple" to drive home a point. Because life is simple! Remove all of today's unnecessary modern contrivances, and you have the world as He intended. That is not to say the modern world with its sophisticated inventions is evil. But instead of being grateful and realizing the eternal force behind such genius, man marvels at the invention and his inventiveness and misses the true reality behind all life. This is a great, great sadness to the Creator.

To give and give and yet be ignored is too much for anyone.  Remove yourself from the world and go back to simplicity. If you want a meaningful day, spend it gazing upon and studying a flower. Put all other earthly cares and distractions aside. Don't try to be philosophical or think highly of yourself, but let life from one flower flow to you and then grasp its greatness and its true origin! In one flower is all the truth of life. Here is God in earthly solid form!   It is very sad that man sees only the form and not the Creator behind the form. It is by our daily interaction with creation, including other human beings, that we are to realize the Author behind all of life.  All forms in this physical world are an outward manifestation of the inner divine intelligence and love of God. If we carefully study life around us, we can easily discern that there is a beautiful, intelligent, caring, highly organized, just, and loving Being who brought all of life into existence.

Positive Karma and God's Love For His Creation

All is a gift of God which He unselfishly shares with us. He is no Father who simply wants worship. What is worship after all! Is it not our genuine expression of love and gratitude to the Parent who gave us life! Is this so wrong! Should we not be grateful and express our worship of God--at least by an expression of thanks within our hearts! Our love is all that He desires from us. Nothing more! He owns everything, so there is nothing we can give to Him that is not already His. The only thing we can give to Him that He does not own is our love.

Love is not a bouquet of flowers, or an altar covered with fine linen and burning candles. It is not money. Love is what we feel in our hearts when we are humble and grateful to God or anyone. And all outward efforts to give love are but forms through which to demonstrate or express our love. But they are not the love itself.

Out of Innocent Love God Created All for All

Because God is love He knows nothing but giving. It is not in his nature to withhold love any more than water can exist without wetness or light without heat or night without day. God created everything for us. All is given freely to man.  It is hard for materialistic man to see this reality. It is hard for  man who always seeks a return for his investment to believe God  wouldn't. They fail to see LOVE. Love in its highest expression escapes them. And so He goes on looking and looking for those who truly love and appreciate love for love's sake, nothing more, nothing less!Behind each flower is an energy that keeps it sustained, alive, vital. That energy is unseen by unevolved man. Behind every form is this Life Force, more real, definitely transcendent, and containing absolute love. God is behind every form. Only when man is raised back to Eden, can he begin to know.   Still, without ceasing, this Force does not relinquish its purpose. It pours forth tirelessly and returns to its source. God basks in the beauty of all that He has made out of Himself, with few to share His love or His joy in all of this.

There is a revolution going on--it cannot be stopped. And it shall have its way. This love, and He as its origin and He behind all forms, even man, will be clearly known. It is that time. He has advanced forward minute by minute through those whom He has ordained to win the war of love. He is the creator and possessor of all love. He is winning step by step with love. The cumulative sowing is springing forth in the fields of history at this moment, and the earth shall be overrun with this abundance. It cannot, will not, be stopped. Love is on a rampage, growing like energy out of control, and will leave no one untouched in its path as it spreads, thank God, prolifically everywhere. "My word shall not go forth unfruitful. All that I have prophesied and promised will be fulfilled!"

For one to come through this way on this topic which is the topic of topics, one must have been there, or be on the way. This has been the search for those prepared for this day to be used by Him for the highest truth and the highest love. Cultivation of such an age with such souls has taken eons. But the hybrid is here now! The crop is waiting to be harvested. And those who are ready and waiting will know and respond. This is just the beginning ....
