Where are you? What are you? What is your purpose?
These things are in the hearts of all men. We were created by the mind of the Creator of all things. From endless ages before coming here many types of life existed on this earth, mostly vegetable and marine life, and then through endless ages of evolution - MAN - but man that was different from the rest.
The first men were natural people, they knew from whence they came, in the sense that they knew that their minds could not create anything of the things around them, and yet all was there for their use. Being natural and having no great knowledge and wisdom, such as we have to-day, they knew the source from where they originated, the power of love and Goodness that had provided them with all things.
These were our Fathers. To most they would seem ignorant, childish in their ways, simple in their beliefs, but they had wisdom which we have lost. These men and women knew that to live life to the full, to live and be happy they must obey the laws, and the laws were the laws of God.
These were the Abeles of the world, the tillers of the soil, the keepers of the flocks, the happy ones of the world. All men to them were brothers. The need of brothers became the first law of consideration, if one was sick it was the duty of the others to feed, and care for him, to till his fields, mind his sheep, then the Great Creator of all things gave unto this wonderful creature Man, he gave the last gift of all - the right to think and create, and to use our own powers to contact not only God but also his brothers.
The Cains of the world, those whose thoughts are twisted, have made this world in which we live to-day, and this to which we have progressed, and that from which we came, are as wide apart as the difference between each one of us, and the Sun. The Creator gave unto mankind the earth - that upon which we dwell. We are the people of this world, and do we own the earth? No. The trees which bear our fruits, these were given unto man, but unless we buy them in the markets, where are the fruits and trees that we own? - The fields to till, the corn with which to make our bread? Very few own the fields these days.
We have many comforts. All these things mankind has fashioned for himself. This problem is, to enjoy any of these "comforts" we must buy them - and these things in this world of ours, who own them?
Those begotten of Cain
God gave the world to all peoples. The law of God is Harmony and Brotherhood, so even with the education systems of our modern society, if man truly obeys the laws of God, those who have money will count it their greatest duty to seek out those who have not, so that they may share the comforts they enjoy, with all his brothers and sisters.
We are born of all sorts of parents, physically. Yet, two children from the same family will vary in their minds from birth. Why is this? Is it that the gift of god is unequal? Or is it this; those whose minds may be brilliant have travelled this road before. They, and the intelligence of man never dies, but with the spark of God within him, it moves with him and is him, and the more he journeys through this place, the greater the wisdom of earth, for the intelligence, although it has no memories, it has the impressions of all its lives within it, and so the mind of such a one who has travelled much will be advanced beyond his brother; but within that intelligence the body has the same measure of the essence of Good, or the powers of Good, as within he who has lower intelligence.
So it will be argued that the one who has travelled much, and has knowledge within his mind, should be entitled to use his great knowledge. Yes, this is so, and with the use of this knowledge he builds for himself greater comforts, an easier life, and also he breeds for himself selfishness. When you have things you wish to retain them. Then he comes to the end of this life of his, his body dies, and he leaves this wealth of his behind. Frequently, in the winning of this wealth he has scarred his own soul, his intelligence.
When we die we must judge ourselves, for it is ourselves that mark our intelligence with all the things we do, and it is fitting in the fulfilment of the law
"As you sow, so shall you reap".
Those who sow into their intelligence discords and disharmonies must reap the sorrows of them. This is your life, then the God within you, having judged the record of your intelligence, finds it bad or good, or not so good as it should be, and for a time you will seek knowledge until your soul says to you again " Travel abroad to right the errors"... and you come again.
I do not believe all those people who hold positions of wealth have gained them selfishly. No. Many are rewards for lives of service lived before. For this is the test of the man or woman, that which they have done in previous lives, when they had no position and wealth, when they had nothing but still lived good lives by giving to their brothers help and service. This is the test for them - with all the gifts of wealth and position, can they do the same ?
Let us just see quickly and clearly the laws which govern mankind. We all have the use of our minds, we all have intelligence. It requires but little for us to realise this, but not one of us with our finite minds can create anything. Yet all things are there. We are stationed in the cosmos, the plane, our universe, our world. Various planets in their courses, orbiting around the Sun, the stars, the winds, the air we breathe, our lungs with which we breathe it. The capillaries in our lungs which pass it into our blood stream, to our heart, and our heart that sends it through your body to return again to the lungs, out into the air it goes.
Order - law and order.
The order of atoms and their construction, you know that it is according to the vibrations, or as scientists would say - the construction of the atom - so it does appear to you and, yet again, nothing is still, all forces are ever changing, never still, obeying unquestionably, the laws of God. Harmonizing with those of its fellows, those to whom it is like. This attraction of like for like is the law of God, obeyed by all things, except by mankind.

Harmony, the subject of which many grow weary ..
Harmony, the being of all things, and to each other that which the other must know, brotherhood, the two woven indissolubly, always together.
Harmony - the movement of the particles of an atom within an atom, the movement of atoms around each other, each particle of the atom supporting another particle of an atom, and each attracted atom doing its share in this work of co-ordination and harmony.
Water, light, and colour, all things weave into harmonious elements. To most the earth is an element, but what is an element? Those who speak of the earth as an element, what is an element? How solid is this earth? From when and where came this earth?
Our earth, its gases and vapours brought into harmony, cooled by the action of other gases, the harmonies within the gases being drawn tighter and tighter, closer and closer, until they support our bodies, because the atoms in our bodies are of like construction. Yet to most the earth is solid. We walk upon this thing called earth. It is good, but it is not solid. How can we be solid?
For what are we?
Mainly water, and we wouldn't call water solid, even in our world. It is true the waters in our bodies flow along channels, veins and arteries, and these our bodies must continually build or the cells will not hold the water, and the force which gives us life would kill our bodies. The other things of which we are composed - oxides, irons, they are not solid, irons, nor are oxides, little bits of sulphur, all these things are gases and change atomic formations.
All the experiences of the earth are within each of us. Within us, is the force which no other thing possesses - the light of Good. The light and force, the mind that we call god, it is within each and everyone of us. Privileged beyond all other things upon the earth, privileged to decide the course of our lives, within the limits of our physical laws, privileged to decree within our minds to deny the God within us, or according to our point of view, to obey or disobey our conscience, privileged alone among the creatures and substances of the earth, to disobey the law of harmony. Privileged to starve our children (as we do), to penalise our brothers, to corrupt his markets, destroy his creatures, hold him in chains. Privileged are we to do these things, and we do.
Centuries upon centuries of wrong thinking, of bad teachings, of mis-use by priests of the gospels of our teachers, by selfishness and cruelties which have been bred within our physical bodies, they are errors of the past. All these help to make us what we are.
These two thousand years which have passed have been 2,000 years of wars. Pisces the fishes, always showing opposition to each other, or pulling against each other, the age of darkness. The age in which mankind has denied the truth. The teachings of brotherhood and harmony. The age when mankind has moved forward along the paths of science, discovered things of great amazement, and then discovering they were of no moment. Forever discovering fresh truths, proving old truths to be ficticious.
"Keep to the Path, you will come to no harm". This is the law. Keep to the Path, but step off the Path, step off the Path of Harmony, disturb the way across the marsh, and those who travel after you, and you yourself, will know of the marsh. This is our choice so far brothers and sisters.
