This little volume was written through inspiration. 
 
 And the writings which compose this volume were written 
 through the hand of this medium by inspiration at different 
 intervals with great velocity of speed and spiritual power. 
 
 They have been written with great hope to make the Bible 
 plain to many who are yet uncertain of this life and the laws 
 of God. 
 
 Therefore they are published with great sincerity in bring-

The Truth of Life 
 
 CHAPTER I 
 Synopsis of the Holy Bibla //, 
 
 We will give to you these writings concerning the Holy 
 Bible. The fact remains that the Bible was written and it con- 
 tains the facts and spiritual truths from Genesis to Revelations. 
 The Bible in many instances is real without giving it the spir- 
 itual standpoint of view and therefore it is read and passed by 
 as a book of fiction. That the Bible is authentic in the knowl- 
 edge of the world. The Bible has disappearance and reap- 
 pearance, assures us that some unseen power has preserved a 
 copy, so the records should not be lost to mankind; the spirit- 
 ual powers have a system through which they operate and are 
 able to bring this truth back for the good and welfare of man. 
 Do we not read in the early Biblical periods, the angels deliv- 
 ered the word jf God from the spiritual spheres unto the men- 
 tal focus of man's spiritual vision of that era. Man's under- 
 standing of God in that period was very limited, and so it is of 
 today; not many have the full understanding of the spiritual 
 powers, when the word of God was given unto the inspired 
 men of that day they were called prophets and seers. For 
 God had taken great care to choose his servants, as they had 
 to serve as leaders and rulers in the adjustment of his great 
 plan. 
 
 It must be remembered and understood that man's under- 
 standing of God's power was limited, consequently these men 
 were looked upon as great men as they understood the spirit- 
 ual power. As we are now in the beginning of this great book 
 and to many they do not have the full understanding of the 
 creating of Adam and Eve, this has been a great question in 
 many a one's mind. As they do not understand how man 
 can be created like God when he is not material in body. Man 
 was created in the image and likeness of God that is in soul. 
 Can you not conceive the idea? How easy it -was for God, 
 after creating the physical body of Adam to inspire that body 
 with his life. This body made of earth could become a living 
 animated man filled with the God life as God's life rules over 
 all. Therefore God is male and female in order to have a crea- 
 tive being to comply with the natural laws of earth. He cre- 
 ated the female as he did the male, which he did as stated in 
 Gen. 1-27 verse. So God created man in His own image, in 
 the image of God created he him male and female, created he 
 them. To create male and female was to multiply the people 
 
THE TRUTH OF LIFE 
 
 of earth as this earth was created for man and that man might 
 cultivate and improve the land. With man and this great re- 
 productive and creative plan gives to us the great spiritual 
 energy or force from God, the Creator, as we are in the image 
 of God thiv" force is used, so does it increase within the God- 
 head, And there will be no exhaustion in this force, but con- 
 ti'uMl renewal for as we go along in life and use this force the 
 more knowledge we bring out of this life, therefore we are 
 renewing our force and it gives an outlet to the great spirit- 
 ual energy from the God-head. This earth is only a planet and 
 only one of many little planets in God's universe. Think of 
 its magnitude, and yet God fills all space in all the planets in 
 his universe. As you understand this gives to us all a great 
 spiritual force from the God head to work fr^m. The creation 
 of Adam and Eve then began the intelligent awakening as liv- 
 ing thinking beings as God had created them in his own image 
 and likeness, they also had the intelligent thinking and were 
 increasing steadily into multitudes, and by their intelligence 
 they then saw the necessity of law and order. Where else 
 could they receive such advice from, unless from God? As 
 they were of the first generations, who could instruct! There 
 was no one before them but God, and they knew of his power. 
 God saw it necessary to teach his children, so they would know 
 of this great spiritual power, thus his selection of men whose 
 minds could be attuned to the spiritual vibration were at once 
 inspired, and their vision opened that they could see the power 
 f f God and the angels who brought the word of God. They 
 now knew of this great spiritual power, otherwise how could 
 the people know that these messages came from anywhere if 
 these men were not selected and their minds attuned to the 
 spiritual vibration? How were they to know of any other life 
 if not led and shown ? This pives us from the beginning pro- 
 phets. As God had required prophets, seers, teachers, and heal- 
 ers. God has brought this spiritual vibration to man on earth, 
 therefore there will be m exhausti~n, but a continual renewal. 
 This great book, the Holy Bible, is well named, as it 
 contains much of this life, it contains the key to unlock eter- 
 nal life to all mankind, but many doubting this life lose sight 
 of the key and oftimes prefer to think there is no God outside 
 of nature, he does not realize that every being in life has a 
 place to fill and each one has their own place to fill. We must 
 learn all cannot fill the same department in this great life, yet 
 every department in this preat life is of equal value in per- 
 fecting of the universe. Some are attuned to one kind of work 
 while another a different work to perform. God has intended 
 for all to go on and on and fill his place in this life as God 
 fits man to be useful in this life. And why doubt ye that som^ 
 have spiritual visions and can see and receive messages from 
 
THE TRUTH OF LIFE 
 
 God when this great reproduction and creative plan gives to 
 us the great spiritual energy and force from God. Why doubt 
 this any more than to doubt the inventor? Where does he get 
 his idea of how to invent something to be used by man? The 
 thought comes to him from somewhere, as he is living in one 
 department of this life and why not the thought to the seer 
 came from somewhere. We are all of the same life. We must 
 carefully study the Bible and take in consideration of the 
 means by which the Bible was given to mortal man centuries 
 ago should cause you to see the great truth revealed therein, 
 which can never be destroyed or obliterated from man's vision 
 of today no more than in the beginning as God intended for 
 this spiritual growth to go on and on as the earth became more 
 populated and that as the race becomes more spiritually awak- 
 ened they will see a greater view of the Bible and its authen- 
 ticity. If we study this great spiritual force with sincerity we 
 will find it proves the fundamental principles of life which sci- 
 ence alone can not prove. We must never lose sight of the 
 spiritual for without this spiritual force we have nothing but 
 an empty shell. When Adam was created there was nothing 
 but a shell until God inspired that body with his life that the 
 body could become a living animated man by recognizing this 
 spiritual power and you become an illuminated soul vibrating 
 with all that is Godlike and you will understand your relation 
 to God and to the universe, and with this understanding of the 
 spiritual power you will become capable of knowing still 
 greater things than these. 
 
 We will study carefully the Bible as we go along and we 
 find the Bible embraces all. We of today do not study our Bibles 
 from the spiritual standpoint and that is why we find many 
 who disbelieve in this spiritual power, and they do not under- 
 stand the fundamental principles of life. As God created 
 Adam and Eve, so did he create us, likewise we all take God's 
 life into our bodies and become a living animated man. The 
 spiritual powers have wonderful means and system through 
 which they operate for the good and welfare of man. Conse- 
 quently we must not lose sight of the great spiritual power if 
 we want to have an intelligent awakening as living, thinking 
 beings. Men of today can be selected for instructors if they 
 would live so their minds could be attuned to the spiritual vi- 
 bration. The fact remains that the Bible was written and it 
 contains historical facts and spiritual truths from the begin- 
 ning of the book to the end. 
 
CHAPTER II 
 God the Creator 
 
 God created heaven and earth, and the men of science have 
 tried to follow up the mode of life principles in order to solve 
 the problem of creation. Once it was convincing that the the- 
 ory of unfolding or solved preposterous bibljcal declaration 
 of creation in seven days, science took the smallest molecule 
 down to the lowest form of animal life to vegetable from the 
 atom, and from animal to man science has gone deep into the 
 mysteries of life, endeavoring to form a rational conclusion in 
 solving the problem of creation. He has discovered natural 
 law through each form and he endeavored to teach that from 
 molecule. Each form was of a higher type with man with his 
 reasoning faculty, but science can only go so far, for they 
 have not the full understanding of this life; with all of this 
 careful research and years of study they can not solve this great 
 problem, they can only go just so far and can proceed no fur- 
 ther. The unseen force behind the visible expressions, which 
 is the life energy, he is still perplexed to explain. Its source 
 and origin remain in the obscure. This is beyond scientist, as 
 God was the creator, but it is possible for the science to gain 
 knowledge concerning the natural law, as this belonging to 
 the world also through gravitation, vibration, and electricity 
 combined through atmospheres, he may learn to apply them 
 for the use and benefit of mankind. Man uses all this wonder- 
 ful power and after all they never have found out what is 
 back of these forces, as every one is so wonderfully constructed, 
 so perfect in operation, system working through system, does 
 this not prove that they are abiding in the law of attraction or 
 repulsion. With the two great forces in nature, like creative 
 and also destructive, also with life and decay, this is all of this 
 wonderful life forces which no man has had the spiritual power 
 to come forth and make plain this complication of life forces. 
 We have found that nature provides a wonderful storehouse 
 where we can draw from for our great supplies to carry 
 us on in life, wherein nothing is lost, and under the right assim- 
 ilation of chemicals . marvelous results are produced, but we 
 must understand the system in which to use these chemicals 
 so they will produce without a great loss. When this life force 
 departs from any form of life, decay at once sets into opera- 
 tion, but the life force returns to this nature's storehouse of 
 energy, to be used as the demand requires, when the atmo- 
 sphere again claims the elements, can you not understand in 
 a greater sense evolution may be a factor in natural law? 
 The two great forces, creative and destructive, and the using 
 over again the elements from decaying form in rebuilding other 
 modes of life so perfect in operation system working through 
 
THE TRUTH OF LIFE 
 
 system, all abiding by this life law. The same great creative 
 power is used in constructing your bodies, as we all come from 
 this great life force. It matters not what it is, for in all forms 
 of life there is a constant giving and receiving of renewed en- 
 ergy. The physical body is constantly throwing off refuse, 
 consequently this body must draw to it a new supply from 
 somewhere, therefore can you not conceive how it is possible 
 that life is evolutionary in the life force? But this does not 
 cause a direct or distinct growth, for the refuse thrown off this 
 physical body must be replaced by a new supply. This body 
 could not retain this life did it not draw fr^m this nature's 
 storehouse. The Biblical explanation of creation could not be 
 more perfect, but it may be beyond your understanding, and 
 perhaps not, as time is measured, d^es it not explain how the 
 earth first was without form, and it was thus until it was b~rn 
 from some other system. The earth bore no individual form, it 
 remained space until the earth took the right magnetic posi- 
 tion to receive light from the sun, and when ^nce on its right 
 path, it gradually drew together all necessary elements to form 
 this earth, and it produced wonderful eruptions, causing and 
 r-reatincr bodies of water. The operation of this eruption pro- 
 duced the heights and levels of earth. This creation all had to 
 abide by natural law inherent, by abiding by this natural law 
 it gradually produced f^rms "f life. This ear^h was without 
 living beings until the time came for a thinking being to in- 
 habit and insist the perfection of your wonderful world. God 
 created human beings and all living creatures of earth. 
 
 We read that the Bible declares that God said: Let the 
 waters brine forth abundantly the moving creatures that hath 
 life, and the fowl that may fly above the earth in the open 
 firmament of heaven. This is the point we must acknowledge 
 that behind all is God, f^r he is the supreme power, or in 
 other words, the life force unsolvable by man. We will admit 
 God's operation may be ascertained the law through which he 
 manifests, but not God of himself. As we go further into this 
 creation we find man was created in the imasre and likeness 
 of God. Read I. Gen 26 to 31 verse 2 Gen. 7th verse. We 
 learn the trinity created in man in part the s^ul, spirit and 
 mortal man these three combined makes three in one. Also 
 the Godhead consists of the trinity, God the father, the son and 
 the Holy Ghost ; this is three in one. This form the supreme 
 power. The Holy Ghost is the overruling soul of the universe 
 and this is the all creative bein<r as it is masculine and femi- 
 nine. The father is spirit which is our life. The son is God 
 manifest in form. This is why God created man in the image 
 and likeness of him, the son, known as Christ, was manifest in 
 form that he may come in touch with his children in form oi 
 earth. This brings you one with the father, for the father and 
 
10 THE TRUTH OF LIFE 
 
 I are one. Therefore your inheritance by birth, as the father 
 and I are one. This brings us created in the image of God. 
 We are each born as an individual, being soul with mortal man. 
 Each and every individual being comes with a limitless in- 
 heritance to God's universe. 
 
 Do you meditate over the magnitude, the grandeur as you 
 should to think of an eternal life with God? m You should 
 awaken your being to the all loving wise creator, who inher- 
 ited you to God's universe that his children of earth might 
 know him more closely and also gave form through Christ 
 that they might realize more obvious of his loving care over 
 all, and Jesus was a physical man on earth. He came to repre- 
 sent God and to give a representative life and character to 
 live up to that this generation and generations to come, that 
 ye may enter into the Kingdom of heaven. Gd has found it 
 necessary to manifest at previous ages according to intel- 
 lectual of the age, but. as the spiritual age began to grow 
 then is when Christ came to lead the way, for Christ knew it 
 will be the only guide for ages upon ages for man to accom- 
 plish the full understanding of the God life that rules this 
 world and in worlds to ccme and so on in other worlds. Man 
 will understand that it is God's love and law that reigns 
 throughout the universe. Therefore you are created in the 
 image of God, you are the reflection in the material, the ex- 
 ternal world. Now that you are of the spiritual being you 
 will be on the interior or the spiritual sphere. As you awaken 
 more and more to this spiritual power you will learn to draw 
 from the God head, the storehouse of energy that nature has 
 provided for you, as all power, all truth, all love, lies there in, 
 and by learning to draw from this great life force you will 
 become more Christ like. If the men of science would learn to 
 follow up the mode of life principles, in the spiritual way they 
 would come in touch with this great life force which would 
 bring much wisdom to them in many facts that they are still 
 perplexed to explain. As the father and I are one you can 
 come in touch with this all supreme power if you learn to 
 draw from the God head, your being expands and you are capa- 
 ble of knowing all these things for your s^ul vibrates with all 
 that is God-like. 
 
CHAPTER. HI 
 
 The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost Are*One 
 The Bible speaks of the father, the son and the Holy 
 Ghost, but not many in reading this understand it to be as 
 one being. Man was created in the image and likeness of God. 
 Now that man was created in the image and likeness of God 
 you can more readily understand the explanation showing 
 man to be composed of three parts, yet all one. the soul, spirit 
 and the physical body. The soul is something you can not see ; 
 it represents the inner life force ; while the spirit is the individ- 
 uality which takes form to the soul, and is the individuality 
 expressing itself through the personality of the mortal or phy- 
 sical bod}\ This you understand, is three in one. which forms 
 the human being, and when the spirit frees itself from the 
 physical body it then becomes the direct body of the soul, but 
 this change does not come without changing form, for as the < 
 s^iil deveL ps in understanding then does the spiritual form 
 become much more radiant, thus the change it is destined to, 
 which you distinguish as a new birth yet without decay, as this 
 physical body must decay, for this body is born from the earth 
 plane, there are millions of planets that are so dwarfed that 
 they scarcely can be named intelligent beings. Altho the soul 
 spark of God's life is there, it is these planets whom your 
 writers try to explain, by expressing their thoughts in perplex- 
 ing and confusing words, such as astral cosmic and elementary. 
 It is useless to confuse the mind with such ideas, as no 
 living being on earth can explain reasonably in language what 
 is beyond this world. You must learn to reason out all things 
 for yourself and endeavor to rise superior to all conditions 
 which would have a degrading tendency towards your life. If 
 you do not rise superior to all conditions it will cause you to 
 become dwarfed on entering the spiritual realm. You must 
 live so the soul is not hindered from growth. If the soul is 
 hindered in growth then the spirit is similarly effected and 
 becomes dull instead of growing bright in its own light. The 
 spirit must grow or consequently it can only partially express 
 itself, sometimes to almost lose consciousness. You are all 
 beings on earth and you must receive a physical and material 
 experience. With this material experience you grow or be- 
 come dull, for the object of life on earth and other mode of 
 vibration which pertains to physical existence, is for the spir- 
 itual growth on earth. There may be a difference in physical 
 appearance, but the experience necessary is similar. What is 
 termed spirit life is the same unto all. After having discarded 
 the material body, spirit spheres are all around about you 
 everywhere, consequently there is no limit to space. The spirit- 
 ual world is a wonderful world but you must understand it is 
 not a body; it is an atmosphere, yet more solid and more real 
 
12 THE TRUTH OF LIFE 
 
 than the planet earth. As the earth can be shattered and reduced 
 to nothing, but never the space of limitless activity as this space 
 is endless and indestructible, this space consisting of spheres 
 each in its own vibration from fine to finer through all eter- 
 nity. Can you not readily perceive how there are different 
 spheres for spirits vibrate? As each individual lives their 
 own life and as they develop their life they are placed accord- 
 ing to their fitness in these spiritual spheres. -We read in S. 
 John, 14 Chapter, 2 verse: In my father's house are many man- 
 sions; the mansions are beheld in the different spheres in 
 heaven. These spheres all receive their directing forces, power 
 and energy from the center sphere which is the Godhead and 
 it is so intensely bright and glorified that none can compre- 
 hend its glory until perfect. This is the center of all life 
 which throws out its rays to all spheres and there is no limit or 
 boundary, the reason is that these multitudinous rays pene- 
 trate and reach every sphere and every atom of life. This is 
 what causes vibration and every force in life. All along these 
 endless rays are different rates of vibration and electricity 
 performing their special operations in moulding system upon 
 system in their special atmosphere for the maintenance and 
 individual forms of life. This includes the life of every living 
 creature, or vegetable and mineral, for all has this life force 
 within it. It would decay had it not. You could all receive an 
 understanding of God's wonderful magnitude. However, you 
 can know of God within your being and then you would be- 
 come God conscious, and you would then live to higher things, 
 which would fit you for a higher sphere. You will also read in 
 S. John, 14 Chapter, 26 verse : But the comforter, which is the 
 Holy Ghost whom the father will send in my name, he shall 
 teach you all things to your remembrance. Whatsoever I have 
 said unto you." Does this not make plain to you that the God- 
 head consists of three in one, God the father, the son, and the 
 Holy Ghost. There is much you can do in beautifying the soul 
 of man, for the mortal man can fill his life with the God life 
 and become a glorified being, that his spirit may shine in radi- 
 ance through the eyes, which will reflect the divine rays of 
 Christ's love to greet all in life's pathway, by living a Christ 
 life makes the face an object of beauty as you have lived with- 
 in the intensely bright and glorified rays of life, thus prepar- 
 ing you for a place in the father's house, for God has told us 
 so. He said and if I go and prepare a place for you, I will 
 come again and receive you unto myself that where I am 
 there ye may be also. This proves that the soul represents the 
 inner life force that the father and I are one, the father, the 
 son, and the Holy Ghost, thus three in one. Therefore mortal 
 man can fill his life with the God life. 
 
CHAPTER IV 
 Facts of Jesus' Birth and His Life on Earth 
 
 Jesus' birth has always remained a mystery in the minds 
 of many people. No other subject has caused so great a com- 
 ment, or difference of opinion, individually, as this concerning 
 the physical birth of Jesus. Many declare this fact an impos- 
 sibility, that nature never operates in contradiction of her 
 steadfast laws and have man believing in reincarnation. He 
 can see the possibility of a soul returning to earth and going 
 through the natural process of gestation in order to secure a 
 physical body, wherein to cloth the spirit for another earthly 
 life of activity among men, while others, through the means 
 of the Holy Bible, accept the word of God, and believe through 
 faith in the genuineness of the writers of that period, the 
 Christians accept this as God's power and his law in life, from 
 the natural scientist's opinion we find that he argues of possi- 
 bilities in life only through means of natural law. This takes 
 us very deep into this subject. You may ask what is natural 
 law ? Do you understand what creates the power to operate 
 through nature ? You surely know some force must work 
 through law and system. You say what is it? Does it not 
 seem possible that nature must have some intelligence to di- 
 rect her force into the operation of producing natural effects. 
 Xow intelligence cannot produce an intelligent effect. Why 
 is it science has gone thus far, but can go no further? As 
 scientist is now satisfied with nature's law of cause and ef- 
 fect, therefore come as it may through evolution or the law 
 of gravity he is self satisfied, and yet he has not answered 
 these questions outside of the material standpoint of view. 
 
 There are many who believe in reincarnation and they 
 are satisfied to believe in the re-embodiment of the soul in 
 flesh. This they are not able to find any proof whatsoever. 
 They have found nothing even from the Bible, to give them 
 assurance of their belief. It is merely philosophizing and 
 deceiving the mind through mystifying teaching's from ancient 
 Hinduism. They have gained no definite knowledge through 
 what they call their reasonable conclusions. There are many 
 who have a greater understanding of life and they are Chris- 
 tians who turn to the Bible for their guidance and proof. The 
 birth of Jesus has been written out so plain in the Bible that 
 he believes it to be the truth. And the word of God the Chris- 
 tians also believe that Jesus gained his entrance into physical 
 form through immaculate conception of the Virgin Mary. They 
 believe Jesus, the son of God, being born through the gesta- 
 tion of the Virgin Mary by immaculate conception. Can you 
 not reason out this immaculate conception? As God has power 
 over all things, can he not make it a spotless conception which 
 
14 THE TRUTH OF LIFE 
 
 overshadowed Mary by the Holy Ghost, claiming it to mean a 
 morally spotless, St. Luke I. Chapter 35 verse, and the angels 
 answered and said unto her, the Holy Ghost shall come upon 
 thee and the power of the highest shall overshadow thee; 
 therefore also that holy things which shall be born of thee 
 shall be called the Son of God. 
 
 You will also read in previous chapter how God operates 
 by means of a perfect plan from the center to the without of 
 endless activity. As God is the supreme power nothing is too 
 great for him and he rules all life. This is where he found it 
 necessary for a personality so he could come closer to the 
 conscientiousness of man's understanding, as man was drifting 
 from this truth. He also saw the necessity of Jesus being born 
 in order that man could grasp the idea of God through form. 
 Man's great failing is, he must have some tangible evidence 
 before his mind can grasp or he will believe in what has been 
 told him in the Bible. When evidence is presented, man is 
 prone to disbelieve or doubt this is due to intellectual reason- 
 ing and not awakening the spiritual knowledge of the divine 
 life and its possibilities beyond the limitation of mortal con- 
 ception regarding the God life, which reasons alone can not 
 explain. You all know and must admit that there is an over- 
 ruling power named God, who is the life force of the uni- 
 verse. Does it not look reasonable that he understands what is 
 most needed and how to comply with necessities? Would he 
 not have knowledge of the perfect law, and power to use and 
 operate as he sees fit ? As God is the creative life, and having- 
 intelligence and personality, therefore he is wisdom, love and 
 truth ; he has the power in directing, moulding and creating all 
 forms of life ; through this intelligence is the force which pro- 
 duces results ; these results you conceive in your mind and be- 
 hold them thorugh the physical means of the vision of the eyes. 
 God saw that the time had come on earth when a greater spir- 
 itual awakening was necessary to guide the people upward to 
 higher ideals through life, and to do this God must come in 
 personal contact with the people of earth that they might 
 have the express evidence by which their physical eyes could 
 see, and their ears could hear the truth, otherwise the people 
 of earth would never believe that the all supreme power was 
 God. And as you must know God works through system for 
 how could everything be so perfectly done if he did not. God 
 chose his angel to appear to John the Baptist, and told them 
 that one would follow who would not baptize with water, but 
 the baptism would be of the Holy Ghost. The prophecy also 
 came to the wise men concerning the birth of Jesus, thus giv- 
 ing to them the truth. You can not doubt this, for many refer- 
 ences are given in the Bible leading up to the birth of Jesus 
 through the Virgin Mary. It is through God's chosen angels 
 
THE TRUTH OF LIFE 
 
 that his word is carried to man. He has used this means of in- 
 structing the people from the beginning of the world up to 
 the birth of Jesus, the crucifixion of Jesus, and unto the pres- 
 ent day. As God works through system and this being a law 
 in the sphere of unseen force of communication this intelligent, 
 life is therefore open to all states of spirits. You will read in 
 the Bible to try the spirits if of good purpose or of evil motive, 
 consequently the Bible has given you this warning. You really 
 understand that God took various ways and means through 
 different men to give his word and law unto the children of 
 earth. Do you not know that God is the creative force through 
 life? Realize then the power. Can not he create of himself 
 by the Holy Ghost, and Mary know not a man? For the spirit 
 is not of flesh. You understand that although the spirit en- 
 tered Mary, God knew it would be necessary to abide by na- 
 ture's law and receive a natural physical birth, for had not 
 the birth of his son been in a physical form he could not come 
 among man, for God wanted his son to come among man, as one 
 with them, not one of them, for he was of the Holy Ghost. 
 Again turn to Luke, 1st Chapter, 34 and 35 verses: Then 
 said Mary unto the angel, how shall this be, seeing I know 
 not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, the 
 Holy Ghost shall come upon thee and the power of the High- 
 est shall overshadow thee, therefore also that holy thing 
 which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. 
 Concentrate a moment on this: shall be called the son of God. 
 You may turn to the Chapter en the Father, the son and the 
 Holy Ghost ; this endeavors to prove that the three are in one. 
 Xow again to, shall be called the Son of God ; does this not 
 conform to the intelligence of man that men could' feel the 
 relationship of Jesus through the physical birth, now that 
 men are born by means of physical birth, man must also die a 
 physical death. Man being born of flesh he must also suffer 
 as man in the flesh suffered. But man has been taught the 
 spiritual life and their relation to God the creator. He also 
 taught man the spiritual life after physical death. He proves 
 the spiritual law of life to be greater than the natural law. 
 This spiritual law is of eternal. Man is in the natural world of 
 death and decay ; he is here for a short period to perf onn 
 his duties on earth and then a change, or in other words, a 
 process of changing from one form of life into another. When 
 the spirit leaves the physical form it passes through this 
 change called death. After passing through this change you 
 are a spiritual being now of all life eternity and know of no 
 more decay as the physical form is left on earth, for dust thou 
 art and unto dust shalt thou return. Jesus taught to the people 
 while on earth the results of a good life or of an evil life. He 
 came direct from the God head to man with the spiritual rays 
 
16 THE TRUTH OF LIFE 
 
 of life. You will read in the Bible when referring to Jesus it 
 always refers to Jesus as being a physical man, but where 
 Christ is referred to notice at once you are taken to God. From 
 the sense derived from the writing the disciples wanted to 
 live the life of Christ teachings, and they knew the difference 
 between God and the physical man, because they had their 
 spiritual vision opened, and the power was giy-en unto them. 
 The same is open unto you of today. Just as soon as you de- 
 sire to live Christlike the spiritual door is opened wide and 
 you may enter into the Kingdom of God. You then become 
 God conscious. It matters not, man and women are both the 
 same in God's life. By becoming God conscious you then are 
 illumined by this ray of light which Jesus brought to man, 
 consequently you receive the comfort and you know whereof 
 you speak. There would be no other way for you to know 
 only through the spiritual senses, and as you live and become 
 awakened so does your spiritual vision widen. This at one time 
 may have seemed impossible to your mind, but as you live the 
 Christ teachings it becomes possible and a reality so it is with 
 the birth of Christ through the Virgin Mary. It is a possibility 
 and it is real. You can not judge God's power through mortal 
 vision and reason. You can not live mortal and judge spiritual. 
 You must enter into the spiritual to know of spiritual things, 
 this is why so many do not understand the birth of Jesus 
 through the Virgin Mary. They do not realize that God is 
 the creative force through life and this is of the spiritual pow- 
 er not of mortal man ; when you once become awakened to the 
 spiritual sense of life you will then become awakened to the 
 truth that there is nothing impossible in the sight of God. 
 Ponder a moment and think, is the birth of Jesus born through 
 the Holy Ghost, impossible, any more than the creation of this 
 earth. It all come through the all supreme power which rules 
 all things. Live more in spiritual things and know of spir- 
 itual things, for the angel said unto them, fear not, for behold 
 I bring you good tidings of great joy. 
 
CHAPTER V 
 Every Human Race Worships God 
 
 Is it not a fundamental fact through all history that all 
 religions have tendencies toward the elevation of mankind, it 
 matters not what religion it is or what nation it is. Although 
 much elaboration in quoting great authors could be written 
 upon this proposed subject, it is not the intention to convey the 
 literal expressions from other minds. All may be historical 
 facts, whether from the Christian Bible or from ancient India 
 regarding the teachings of spiritual leaders ; the thought is sim- 
 ply to teach that the region known as the Oriental teachings, 
 such as India, Japan, Persian, Egypt, or China; these Oriental 
 teachings were all clothed by a shroud of mystery better known 
 as mysticism. We could carry you into this subject more deep- 
 ly, but it is not necessary as you can gain all such knowledge 
 by referring to the great books in the public libraries. Much 
 reference could be given as illustration from especial leaders 
 of early ages. As you give these different religions a thought 
 you will be brought to a better understanding concerning the 
 teachings of ancient religions and illustrations from them, and 
 show the advantage of the Christian religion that has been 
 gained over all other religious teachings. 
 
 It is known as a fact through all history that all religious 
 have a tendency towards the elevation of all mankind, even 
 to the heathen, as you may class those people ; they have their 
 way of expressing their thoughts, although it may appear very 
 crude to you in comparison to the intelligence of the twentieth 
 century; but these ancient people held the same meaning and 
 feeling within their spiritual consciousness. Their religion has 
 a tendency toward the elevation, or in other words, from error, 
 on and upwards unto perfection from mortal unto the immor- 
 tal, or material to the spiritual. All religions have the same 
 tendency. As man has recognized that he could not have come 
 from nothing, he knows today as in the past ages that of him- 
 self alone he could not exist. One and all have their sense of a 
 greater spiritual life, even the cannibal was not totally without 
 spiritual conception, although he did eat the flesh of human 
 beings, the devouring of his own kind does not prove total spir- 
 itual depravity. He gazed with wonder and reverential fear at 
 the sun, moon, and stars, and all that nature portrays; he did 
 not have the fluent language to express his feelings, the sensa- 
 tion of geatness of all that his eyes could behold was there and 
 in his crude way he worshipped something which he felt was 
 beyond him as you all readily understand that the cannibal 
 have not book learning, so you see this something that he was 
 worshiping was not that which he obtained through study from 
 the thought of great thinkers expressed in books. Yet they 
 
18 THE TRUTH OF LIFE 
 
 were conscious of some great power within and without to some 
 degree even regardless of education. It is not always educated 
 men who recognize this God life, from this stage of human be- 
 ings with no book knowledge have arisen the intelligent race, 
 for they worked out this life problem in a way of their own. 
 The cannibal was not the first to exist, but they were isolated 
 and away from all intelligent thinkers and educated men, yet 
 this wonderful spark of celestial being was within these beings, 
 as every human race has had a spiritual leader who has been 
 able to serve the power of explaining of God though they were 
 weak and worshiped images, yet they endeavored to carry the 
 people of his nation unto spiritual freedom. It was great dif- 
 ficulty after misapprehension, and after once established in the 
 mind and passed on through generations, it is very difficult to 
 put an end to idol worshiping for man of today is not totally a 
 free spiritual mind being. The Christian errrr gave births to 
 a religion freed from man created gods unto the glorious under- 
 standing of one God the father. This came through the teach- 
 ings of Jesus Christ. You also have the teachings of Ancient 
 India or Egypt. We find among those people a desire to rise 
 to a greater spiritual understanding and many of these teach- 
 ings still clothe their thoughts and feelings, and aspirations into 
 moulded forms of Gods. These people are far enough advanced 
 in thought that when their minds could soar upward towards 
 a conception of a greater spiritual life and yet their minds must 
 have the thought in the form of an image. This is done to 
 bring near the minds eyes that there is a supreme power far 
 greater than themselves. The image worshiping was the begin- 
 ning of mental slavery. Man did not understand this God life 
 so he created images to convey to his mind the interpretation* 
 of the God he desired to worship. 
 
 You will learn this was the beginning of enslaving, mysti- 
 fying the mind of the people, which had a very marked tend- 
 ency of degeneracy to the spiritual part of man. You can carry 
 this down through all ages, even unto this day. As there w T as 
 not much advancement in the spiritual part of men, God saw it 
 necessary to come in some way to his people and free them 
 from the slavery of the worship of images and priests or rulers 
 of kingdoms, and to do this Jesus was sent at that time to give 
 unto the world the real truth of God's life and to show the 
 Direct way unto God, without means through images or human 
 agencies. We have learned that Christ taught the way to God 
 through prayer. We have been lead to know God by spiritual 
 consciousness in direct communion. Christ taught the differ- 
 ence between darkness and the light. He may have used other 
 means to illustrate his thoughts, but we have never been told 
 that he used images to convey his meaning; never did he mys- 
 tify his followers with strange delusions in pointing the way 
 
THE TRUTH OF LIFE 
 
 to God. Jesus did appreciate nature, but he never referred to 
 nature as God the father. Jesus taught us that God was in all 
 and through all and that was beyond all that human eyes could 
 behold was God, and he also taught that the Kingdom of God 
 was within. You were not taught that you could not do what 
 Jesus did if you follow the true life. Jesus said, even greater 
 things than these can ye do. The life of Jesus was simple in 
 every way. He lived this life to show you that it was not such 
 a task to live a God life. And yet Jesus did this wonderful 
 healing and teaching. People marveled at the things which 
 he performed in healing because of his simple life. His life was 
 not false and mystifying doings. He taught the people that his 
 power came from Gcd and no other source. As Jesus knew of 
 his power and was positive of his religion this gave him greater 
 power, but many times he felt he was weak in his power and 
 would go up into the mountains to pray for greater strength, 
 that he might fulfill his mission while on earth. This should 
 be the great purpose of all lives, as you each must fulfill your 
 mission on earth and you must have the knowledge of greater 
 source than of yourself to draw the necessary power to aid you 
 in fulfillment of your mission on earth. When you once become 
 conscious of this indestructible fountain in God and to know 
 that you can draw all power to you, for your life's mission, 
 then you no more have any fear of this great life, for you be- 
 come strong in God's life and in the Christ's love, for it is only 
 then when you realize your mission on earth, because the great- 
 est desire of your earthly life is to become God conscious and 
 you are awakened from the slavery of the darkened ages unto 
 the light of eternal day. Christ left the light for you to see 
 and there has been no greater light than that which Christ has 
 left. Xot even yet has the light been truly seen, but by the 
 liberation of idols and personal worship, the light of Christ is 
 becoming clearer and clearer into the minds of the awakened 
 spiritual consciousness. You that have become awakened to 
 this Christ light know that for generations to come, that light 
 will be the only one to lighten the paths of the children of earth. 
 As you become more and more conscious of this Christ light, 
 you realize that the spiritual growth is slow all because the 
 errors of the past have had such deep roots, but as all have wor- 
 shiped to the best of their knowledge God has all patience and 
 knows no destruction, but realizes all will eventually see the 
 light and live eternally in his life of everlasting peace and un- 
 derstanding. man of man, arise : and cast aside the fetters 
 which have enslaved your mind, and learn the way into the 
 freedom of God's life which is not of bondage, but of freedom 
 and everlasting life. This life is indestructible. Will ye not 
 know of the love which Christ represented to you, full of for- 
 giveness to all who are in the dark, learn to know of this light 
 and be ye also a savior of men while on this earth? 
 
CHAPTER VI 
 The Future Concerning God, and Life's Mystery 
 
 The future holds much for man if he only would grasp this 
 great truth of this life's. It does not remain such a mystery 
 if you would only search for more wisdom in this life from the 
 beginning of the period of man and through all ages. There 
 have been religious tendencies up to the present time, and many 
 forms of religion and creeds, many ideas of doctrines, concern- 
 ing God and life 's mystery, have sprung from the religion with- 
 in man. Each idea claiming to contain a clearer insight. Yet 
 there is man of today just as perplexed in endeavoring to de- 
 scribe accurately God as he was in the remotest ages, but as 
 generation after generation comes man is being more intelli- 
 gent beings to realize that all these various creeds and dogmas 
 and isms are but drops of water in the mighty sea. When man 
 lays all creeds aside and becomes sincere and searches deeply 
 he will discover the great creation of his own being, (consisting 
 of body, spirit, and soul) , that there is a wonderful intelligence 
 operating and directing its life and source of existence. He 
 will then look upon the natural surroundings, and he will then 
 behold another expression of this wonderful manifestation of 
 intelligence. The more he beholds of this life's beauty still 
 more wonderful everything appears to him because he now re- 
 alizes there is a power outside of himself, and this power oper- 
 ates all forms of life and the law by which life expresses itself y 
 as he finds the creation of his own being, he now knows that 
 the creation could not have sprung- from itself alone. Men of 
 science have endeavored to explain life, but thus far have failed 
 in analysis of its original source. Science can define the com- 
 positions and relate data to some degree of natural life pertain- 
 ing to this world, and have given some idea of distance in space 
 between planets. This all is very helpful, enabling man to grasp 
 some idea of the immensity of space in this world and yet 
 there is much more beyond man, but with science help it all 
 leads the careful student to appreciate a creative plan, for, if 
 such were not the case all would be confused and disorder, but 
 this brings the mind to grasp the idea of a creator, and by 
 grasping this idea the mind must aspire to some power far 
 greater than the entire universe, which is called God, and that 
 God has all power and wisdom to direct that which is created, 
 and with this understanding man can form a conclusion of the 
 relation between man and his creator. Man does not need to 
 live in doubt concerning the God life, he can turn to the Bible, 
 containing all of the writings and prophecies and find there 
 the word of God, telling of the creation and of its purpose for 
 man. Why do men not believe these writings? Can you not 
 believe the writings of the Bible ? Surely you must if you rea- 
 
THE TRUTH OF LIFE 21 
 
 son carefully, and are sincere in this life you now live. The 
 Bible, you will find, contains fo~d for your entire earthly exist- 
 ence. It must not all be taken in material facts, but when read 
 and spiritually digested, it prepares yen for your spiritual life 
 with God, and to enjoy God's glory we must read this good 
 book and start our heavenly "life on earth. No works of litera- 
 ture, no matter from what translation, can give as much food 
 to the soul as the simple pure life, as tausrht by Jesus. Xo re- 
 ligion can give a greater example to follow than the life of 
 Christ and his word to live by. The time had come when man 
 needed a spiritual awakening. The creator knew what 
 was needed and for this reason Jesus came among 
 men. Jesus gave the life required to attain unto the 
 understanding of man's relations to God the father, and yet 
 many men fancy they discovered an easier way, but the more 
 they twist these teachings of Christ the more entangled be- 
 come the thoughts of men, and by trying to find an easier 
 way they become farther and farther away from this Christ 
 life. You take a rock and throw it out in the mighty sea and 
 watch the circles around the spot where the rock had been 
 tossed and you will notice that there are many circles around 
 where the rock had sunk each circle getting further and fur- 
 ther away from the center and at last they lose their power 
 and can not be seen, leaving clearly the one way undisturbed 
 from any emotion. This is like man-made creeds, they are 
 drifting away from the great center of this life force, thus 
 the condition of spiritual affairs of today so many ways all 
 supposing to be a more direct way with the understanding of 
 God. 
 
 The man of the future will discover the one simple true 
 way and that is to live the Christ life in every department of 
 his existence. When man walk in this true life then will pov- 
 erty be no more, the riches will be for all, not to a few, and 
 crime will be past. This will brine: all to be the Christ man in 
 all. It will be man to man, all of one great army of soldiers, 
 marching with peace the world over. All will be of one reli- 
 gion, one language and one people. This Christ life will seem 
 more sweeter and m^re glorious, because you have become 
 awakened and the spiritual nature has been aroused, and you 
 have become God's children, and you can prepare the way 
 for those yet unborn to follow in the footsteps of real heroes, 
 those who dare to live a Christ life and be living examples cf 
 his truth. They will also pense all of the beauty in which he 
 lives. When mortal man lives in his material senses, they do 
 not see or realize the splendor all around them waiting for 
 man to discover it for himself. As this grandeur is all around 
 you waiting for man to recognize it, so is God all around you. 
 
22 THE TRUTH OF LIFE 
 
 waiting for man to discover God within his soul consciousness. 
 When you become conscious of this Christ life and live it, it 
 will help man of the future to become more God conscious and 
 will recognize God and his relation to all life ; and when man 
 knows this truth this will bring peace on earth, good will to- 
 ward man, and the world will become more beautiful to all 
 for having lived this life on earth. 
 
 By living a good life it supplies a reasoning force and gives 
 also understanding of love and justice which is the highest ex- 
 pression of God's law or life to man, differing from the animal 
 life in a very marked degree. When man has an understand- 
 ing of life and lives it, this is the ideal man by means of the 
 Christ life. We will drift back to the human birth, which is 
 somewhat of a mystery, surrounded by intelligence unseen by 
 man only through the result that a living babe has been born 
 by means of natural law. Man realizes that human birth is the 
 greatest of God's creations, because it gives intelligence to 
 live and act through that physical form. As man develops in 
 body so does he develop in spiritual thought, he has some un- 
 derstanding of life in some form, but he does not become in- 
 terested enough in the life he lives to grow to a Christ life, 
 which the highest expression of God's law, or life to man, dif- 
 fering from the animal life. Mineral and vegetable life, 
 having no reasoning or thinking capacities are then of a lower 
 order. This brings their vibrations to a much less rate than 
 is necessary for other forms in life. Man must learn to know 
 that the human life vibrates to the highest and most sensitive 
 of all God's creations. Man is created in the likeness of God 
 and the human life vibrates to the highest because man is soul ; 
 but while this soul has its dwelling within a human body it 
 has to comply with natural law, and vibrate to the vibrations 
 necessary for the existence of the human body. Whatever 
 vibrations you dwell in here on earth, so at death of the body, 
 then the soul vibrates to a greatly increased activity, it takes 
 its flight to that sphere in life where it is attracted to by the 
 same vibrations that you lived in on earth. All souls do not 
 enter into the same sphere in the spiritual life. The soul or the 
 spirit's vibrations in one instance are all alike, but the differ- 
 ence in vibrations depends upon the spiritual growth that a 
 soul has developed during its earthly life, while temporarily 
 using the human body; consequently, at death the spirit takes 
 its flight and enters its own sphere of activity. We will carry 
 man little deeper into God and his life 's mystery, for man must 
 not think they can live a reckless life on earth and at death 
 their soul shall enter the highest sphere ; it depends upon the 
 spiritual growth that a soul has developed during its earthly 
 life ; but as you advance and develop in this Christ life on earth 
 you will take your place in the advanced sphere in God's King- 
 
THE TRUTH OF LIFE 23 
 
 dom. A spirit can not belong to a higher sphere and desire 
 to live in a lower one and use the same vibrations from the 
 higher into the lower sphere, although theacpirit can at will re- 
 main in a lower sphere if it desires, thus the spirit must adjust, 
 or accept the conditions of that sphere and become one of its 
 law, and abide by its atmosphere. The spirit that is not ad- 
 vanced and is of the lower sphere cannot go of its freedom 
 into the higher spiritual spheres, but a higher spirit can go 
 into the lower spheres for a brief period without changing the 
 vibrations permanently unless the spirit desires to remain, then 
 the spirit must comply with law. The same is on earth ; you of 
 a Christ life can go and work with those who do not recognize 
 the life they live in, but you can not live the life with them in 
 the lower elements and still hold the higher power of progress 
 within yourself, for it must be one or the other, so it is in the 
 spiritual world. We can go down and tell them to arise and 
 come forth to their God, which lifts them to a higher sphere if 
 they care to do so. 
 
 To live an ideal man by means of the Christ life, you must 
 live and do as Christ did. Christ realized that in order to have 
 success in his life's purpose, he must not l^se sight of God. He 
 worked only by means of spiritual forces or law. He knew that 
 it was useless to go to material means for power to reach the 
 suffering humanity. He always led the way to God, for help 
 and comfort, thus endeavoring to use the mental vibrations of 
 the people with the spiritual. There will be no ideal man as 
 long as they prefer to see only the material side of life. Here 
 is where they lose their spiritual growth. There is much talk- 
 ing of God among people; but talking alone will never make 
 you God conscious. To know God the awakening must come 
 from within your being, then you are in touch with the vibra- 
 tions leading upward to God. You then become conscious of 
 God through his law, and become conscious of Christ through 
 his love. This conception of truth develops the ideal man to 
 the most perfect stage in his mortal life and induces through 
 his effort and aspirations to know of God creating a greater 
 mental and spiritual rate of vibration in the development of 
 his soul. You will then behold the necessity of the influence 
 of Christ's life to awakened being. You will find recorded in 
 the Bible, that the life of Christ is certainly an inspiration to 
 the thinking man. Christ taught the lesson to overcome temp- 
 tations and the gaining of self mastery through efforts to live 
 the pure life, and showing you the added spiritual power of 
 God and the recompense. Christ lived a simple and clean life, 
 but mingled with all classes, and administered his service _wher- 
 ever required, under the right conditions. You will now ask 
 what were these conditions? They were simply through spir- 
 itual laws, and that law was faith in God. You may ask why 
 
24 THE TRUTH OF LIFE 
 
 was it necessary to have faith? Because having faith in God 
 awakened the vibration necessary in that person to come 
 into right communion with spiritual law, in order to be healed 
 or cleansed from sin. Christ understood that in order to have 
 success in his life purpose he could not lose sight of God. When 
 you become sincere in trying to live the Christ life this attunes 
 your aspirations to the higher rate of vibration in the spiritual 
 life. You then come in touch with those higher- souls and an- 
 gels who live in the God vibration. When y~u realize this 
 truth, thus enabling you to become more spiritually awak- 
 ened to the more beautiful in life you will then know real hap- 
 piness in this life and you become more active, and you will 
 always be ready to assist those who desire assistance, for your 
 only desire now is to elevate yourself and your fellow man, 
 for you have become conscious of the never-ceasing activity in 
 life. As God's life vibrates within you and Christ's love dwells 
 within your soul. These tw T o sreat forces make the ideal man 
 by means of the Christ life, therefore you shall never make a 
 mistake by following in his footsteps, f~r every time you make 
 one step in his footsteps this leads you one step higher on the 
 ladder of spiritual growth, for. every step higher means eternal 
 life, but man that do not try to follow the Christ life he takes 
 one step backward which means' stagnation t^ the spiritual part 
 of man, and when you become awakened to this truth it is just 
 so much more to the climbed pgain, and each time you take a 
 step backward it becomes harder and harder *" gain a glimpse 
 of the spiritual life, as every err~r you make means darkness 
 and when walking in the d^rl- t^e >*yes became weak to the 
 light and you do not care t^ look at the light and you again 
 turn to the dark for you imagine that the dark is better for 
 your eyes. This shows that you have lost si<?ht of this life you 
 now are living in. 0. man, where are your eyes that you can 
 not behold this beauty in a spiritual way and the light which 
 Christ left here for man to see, which gives its rays unto the 
 greater life of peace and joy, this greater life is not hard to 
 gain it is only overcoming of low desires, created falsely by 
 mortal error. Open your eyes to the light and have them grow 
 strong in the light and see God in all glory, for he gives you 
 the freedom to come into the greater life of everlasting joy. 
 God closes the p~ate to no one, unless he chooses to close it by 
 living a life of sin. Christ has taught you that temptation is a 
 mighty power, but it loses in the end, for sin must die and 
 spiritual live eternally. Man of earth, why choose the life of 
 error, which causes destruction and darkness, when you could 
 choose the light unto life eternal. You are only placed here 
 for a short sojourn on earth, and you have been placed here 
 for one orreat purpose and value, that you may enter into the 
 spiritual spheres. You will then rejoice at the great victory 
 
THE TRUTH OF LIFE 25 
 
 over all evil influences, instead of being stupid in this great 
 life and yielding to evil, thus causing you upon your entrance 
 into the spiritual world in darkness, where you can not behold 
 the beautiful rays of light as it will hurt your eyes. So follow 
 the life of Christ even if y<~u be alone. If all man would try 
 to do this the outcome would be the Christ man, in all God and 
 life's mystery would not be a hard problem to solve for the 
 way would be open unto you. Rise and be not afraid to follow 
 the life of Christ and live an ideal man by means of a Christ 
 life. 
 
CHAPTER VII 
 The Ascension or Descension of Life 
 
 There are two 'ways in life 's walk, by which man may 
 choose the way he 'desires to travel. The ascension is to climb 
 the ladder unto Jife, and descension is to descend down the lad- 
 der into degradation of character. So life is composed of two 
 ladders. To climb means effort, and to fall means non-resist- 
 ance or easy traveling. This is man 's life on earth. Some men 
 choose fto live the real Christ life. This, you understand, re- 
 quires effort, simply because you withdraw from the sham of 
 the worldly, and enter into the soul conscious life which takes 
 you upward on life's ladder into the God life which enables 
 you to grow stronger and stronger into this spiritual truth. To 
 live the real life you must become strong and be able to re- 
 sist criticism of those who do not know the way to become 
 strong, you must be true to yourself. You must be fearless to 
 live for truth sake ; you must do unto others as you would have 
 them do unto you. Be patient with your fellowmen. Be true 
 unto each other. Learn to understand each other. Take noth- 
 ing from another which does not belong to you. Recognize the 
 law of justice with all, as unto yourself that you may grow 
 more into the greater consciousness of life. Do not allow your- 
 self to become engulfed in the stream of graft, greed arid 
 jealousy, but keep your eyes open that you may see God and 
 have his life reflected into your soul, that you may become 
 Christ-like. These establishes a character which are the attri- 
 butes of your soul. These will be before your vision like mir- 
 rored on your entrance into the next sphere of life in the spirit- 
 ual world. It matters not which ladder of life you choose, your 
 life journey on earth will be before you in the spirit world. So 
 let the ladder of life be placed on solid rock so when you start 
 your life 's climb, that the foundation will not crumble from un- 
 der the ladder, this means destruction. So live this life that 
 you may grow more into the greater consciousness of life. 
 
 There are some who prefer to take life easy. They drift 
 along their life's journey with the tide, or to the modern sway 
 of life. They like to feel that they are popular. Consequently 
 they drift away from God and allow themselves to be carried 
 by the social whirl to be like other people, and to be recog- 
 nized as they think "somebody". How easy to build a founda- 
 tion in your life that will not stand for you have taken an easy 
 way to travel in your life. This means of existence is the be- 
 ginning of descension in human life. When once y^u endeavor 
 to live a life of mockery, for when you simply live like someone 
 else, just to be in the lead, you are descending the ladder into 
 degradation of character and you demoralize your spiritual self 
 or soul ; you are becoming blind to God, for you are being car- 
 
THE TRUTH OF LIFE 27 
 
 Tied away by the material glitter of a false life, one step down- 
 ward makes it much easier for the next step lower. Man real- 
 izes the fact in or<fer to keep up this struggle to be unnatural, 
 he must become selfish, also untruthful totimself and his asso- 
 ciates. He is living and representing himself what he really 
 is not, so he sins one sin after another, from little unto larger 
 acts creeps into his life of false pretenses; this leads him to 
 become indifferent to his real life or spiritual nature and pre- 
 fers to live the mortal life of the flesh. When he awakenes up 
 to the fact of his real life he finds himself at the foot of this 
 ladder and beholds that everything is dark and gloomy in the 
 outlook of his life. He will then realize the wasted energy and 
 in his despair he wishes to die. He does not realize the fact 
 that his conditions after death is no better than when on earth 
 for he has not lived to make them better. Just think what it 
 means to you, the entrance to the greater life. After death 
 then ccmes a greater realization of life. You will not realize 
 your wasted energy, for your acts through life presents them- 
 selves more keenly and alive to you. You will then behold the 
 real life you lived while on earth, for death is a mirror which 
 reflects the true likeness of yourself. I wish I could bring this 
 as a picture before the eyes of every living humanity of earth, 
 that they could know the consequences of their life on earth 
 are reflected in the mirror of death. I think that man would 
 endeavor to look more to Christ and live the true life rather 
 than follow the life of recklessness. The majority would rather 
 climb the ladder into eternal glory, even if it required effort 
 at first, rather than to live a mortal life rf the flesh to only 
 gratify passion for a few years, and then become a worthless 
 being and a dishonor to God. 0, ye men and women of earth, 
 waken up the true life within and learn to know thy God and 
 become souls of worthy men and women of good character, fear- 
 less to live a true life regardless of the petty critisisms of those 
 who understand not, by thyself always and remember it is 
 those who dare to live the true life, that sets the example unto 
 others. It is those who fear not what the public say and live 
 as Christ did, to be just and l~yal to their higher selves who 
 are the lights in God's world to lead the way, when you become 
 troubled go by yourself and pray that your vision will become 
 stronger to enable you to continue your mission on earth and 
 thy glory shall be yours. Christ lived and suffered through the 
 misunderstanding of the people, but he never lost sight of God. 
 Note the example his life left for men. He taught the glory of 
 the pure life and the victory won. Seek to know each other 
 and bring harmony into your souls and climb the lad- 
 der unto life together as you become stronger, it en- 
 ables you to climb higher and higher, and by living a 
 true life with yourself you will feel grateful when you see your- 
 
28 THE TRUTH OF LIFE 
 
 self in the mirror of death that you have reflected a soul that is 
 born from earth unto life with the rays of God's glory with 
 it, and all together all may enter into the Kingdom of heaven 
 and be honor to God and know what it me^is to live a life on 
 earth well spent. Make your life 's ladder one of ascension and 
 reap of this wonderful glory, instead of descension and gain 
 nothing, but loose much, for as ye live so shall ye be. 
 
CHAPTER VIII 
 The Spiritual Spheres 
 
 The world you live in is quite large indeed. And yet you 
 do not know the immense space that is all around you. This 
 is the spiritual sphere and your eyes can not behold the beauty 
 of this space. Why? Because you have not become spiritual. 
 This comes after y^u have lived your life on earth and have 
 taken up your new life in the spiritual spheres. You, of earth, 
 cannot leave your earthly home and come and dwell with those 
 of the spiritual world, so it is in the spiritual world, those of 
 the lower spheres cannot come up into the higher spheres, for 
 all souls do not vibrate in the same spiritual spheres here in 
 the spiritual world no more than you all vibrate in the same 
 thought on earth and yet the vibrations in one instance are all 
 alike, but some has developed this life and live a higher life than 
 those that do not give this life a thought, consequently, at death 
 you enter this spiritual sphere as you lived on earth, and you 
 must accept the conditions of that sphere and become one of its 
 law. and abide by its atmosphere until you have advanced to a 
 higher sphere, and so on all through eternity, if you wish to 
 navigate the air. then you must abide by law and take on 
 means of navigation, before you can ascend and sail in the earth 
 atmosphere, and these means are of material construction to 
 hold your body, that you might be passed through the air at 
 certain heights above the ground. 
 
 You may ask why is it necessary to have material convey- 
 ance that you might sail in the atmosphere ? Simply that your 
 body does not move to the same rate of vibration as the atmo- 
 sphere of the earth. You may think that every thing is still, 
 but nothing is still, while it may appear so to your eyes. All 
 life is vibration or motion, ceaseless and tireless, and you do 
 not know it. Yet everything is in activity in some form or an- 
 other. And as you try to live a spiritual life the more sensitive 
 you become to the finer forces in life, the greater are your vi- 
 brations. Yes. I will say the more you become awakened to the 
 spiritual life while in the material world ; and you realize the 
 fact that you are alive arid know that the spiritual is in all 
 forms or expressions of life, because you are watchful to the 
 greater law of life. You see and understand the indestructible 
 force named life of God and as you become conscious of God 
 through his law there can you become conscious of Christ 
 through his love. This we must learn to know in the spiritual 
 world as well as on earth if we ever expect to share the srlory 
 God has in store for us all. It is just as much of a necessity to 
 live in the higher spheres on earth as it is in spiritual world, 
 for all is in one life and of one life. This brings up all one with 
 God. We of the spiritual spheres can not come to earth and 
 
30 THE TRUTH OF LIFE 
 
 remain here long and live in the law of the higher spheres of 
 the spiritual law if we choose to remain near earth. We must 
 abide by the law which is of that sphere, but we are permitted 
 to come down to earth for a very short period to fill a mission 
 that God has granted for us to do, but we of the higher sphere 
 can not come down to the ones of earth of the lower realms on 
 earth, the one must live a life of truth and as uear a Christ- 
 life as their understanding has taken them into this life on 
 earth, those of the lower spheres in the spiritual world come to 
 their kind of the lower spheres of . the earth and they remain 
 very close to earth at all times, for they have not learned to 
 open the door of their soul and let the God light shine, and 
 until they have learned of the true being of their life they 
 will remain in darkness, fr-r all souls do not vibrate in the 
 same spiritual spheres and therefore we can not mingle togeth- 
 er and abide by the same law, for God's law rules all his glory 
 and to live in his glory we must abide by his law. Try your 
 utmost while on earth to live and abide by God's law and this 
 will help your soul's journey homeward in the spiritual spheres 
 and to find the mansion prepared for thee. This will be the 
 outcome of a good life to the higher spiritual spheres. Can you 
 not look around you on earth and see many who do not give 
 one thought of their life to their heavenly home? And you 
 say, 0, man, where art thou that you do not recognize one 
 thing of this life as the God life and his life within yourself. 
 His has been lead by the mighty power of temptation, but loses 
 in the end, for error must die, and spirituality lives eternally. 
 We will carry you a little further into this spiritual life by 
 means of a good life from mortal to the spiritual sphere. Has 
 it ever entered your consciousness that you have a similar 
 choice within your life, as to the way you desire to travel, mor- 
 ally and spiritually? You live the moral life before you can 
 reach the spiritual unfoldment of your character. Do you not 
 see many more morally good men and women than spiritually 
 unfolded characters. Not many people understand the vast 
 difference between a moral man or a spiritual man. Take for 
 instance an illustration suggests itself as the difference be- 
 tween a rosebud and the full-blown rose of perfection and 
 fragrance. So it is the vast difference between mortal man 
 and a spiritual man. A man may be a good moral man and 
 yet not be God conscious. There is a tendency in such a life 
 to yield to temptations. He may feel he has been sincere in 
 thinking there is a God, or that Christ lived, but with all the 
 thinking will never make him God-conscious ; he must feel the 
 God Christ life within his soul; this sense of feeling at once 
 awakens and quickens the most sacred impulse to live a pure 
 life. When thus you sense this feeling you are protected 
 against temptation and sin, and as you live near God you rise 
 
THE TRUTH OF LIFE 31 
 
 above temptation and you become that much more illumined 
 within your being with the light that Christ referred to when 
 he said: "I am the light". And do you not know this glorious 
 light is the spiritual life that makes you more and more beau- 
 tiful. This light can not help but express itself through the 
 eyes of your physical body. And your soul become more beau- 
 tiful and thus preparing you for the time for your soul's jour- 
 ney homeward in the spiritual sphere. This is in accordance 
 to your earthly life and is the outcome in my father's house 
 are many mansions I go to prepare a place for thee. "I am 
 the light and the way, to lead you unto the father." What 
 more can man wish than these glorious promises? Does man 
 riot know when he yields to temptations, even through nature's 
 law of transgression that he only creates misery by choosing 
 that route he must suffer for his mistakes for every being can 
 be moral : and every beine knows right from wrong even a 
 child's intuitive proves this: Man has been placed here with 
 his own life, and he has no one over him. He is given life t > 
 choose from the biddings of his own conscience, the lower life 
 or the higher. Man has his won problem to work out and if he 
 prefers to close the door and shut out God's voice known as 
 conscience and blind his eyes to the light, and trying to think 
 that he is the possessor of his soul and can do as he pleases 
 about his way of living, endeavoring to feel there is no higher 
 power than of himself, and by living within these thoughts he 
 does not advance very far mentally or spiritually, but he must 
 travel the long, long road towards the end, which comes to all. 
 Death or life as your choice. I do not mean eternal death, for 
 life never dies, but a death like stagnation which may taV^ 
 years and years to overcome. And to overcome this stagnation 
 you must be willing to open the door that the God life may 
 enter. If not, you can not escape from your destination; if 
 not in mortal life yu must be awakened in the spiritual 
 spheres. You would think man could be more careful in chos- 
 ing the long route to travel that they would not come to death 
 sta^nati^n and loose the light and glory of the spiritual life. 
 There is much in a man 's life that seems to fascinate your imag- 
 ination which leads you to the downward steps, and yet you 
 realize that you are on the wrong road, and yet to turn back 
 you say seems cowardly. So you go on and on, but when you 
 realize your mistake, you should stop, for in reality it is not 
 turning back, for when you are conscious of error and you 
 correct it. and this brings you a step forward, instead of one 
 step downward. When the spiritual part of your desires to 
 rule never feel timid, for fear of criticism from your so-called 
 friends, of the downward life, the one called friend is on who 
 will clasp you by the hand and rejoice at your victory of turn- 
 ing back into the right road and when yni once overcome this 
 
32 THE TRUTH OF LIFE 
 
 great error in your life you will never entertain fear of mortal 
 man and stop at man's criticism, but you will walk firmly in 
 the light that Christ gave to you. With your eyes open wide 
 and no more will you fear of going in the wrong path and you 
 will ever be ready to assist those who need you and by assisting 
 others just so much more richly are you assisted in becoming 
 God conscious, thus the outcome of a good life from mortal to 
 the spiritual sphere, and you will smile with God and live in 
 his eternal life for the victory you have won. 
 
CHAPTER IX 
 This Life Could Be a Peaceful One 
 
 Our lives on earth need not be one of sorrow and gloom 
 if you only understood the peaceful life that surrounds you at 
 all times, the peaceful life is like unto a great calm body of 
 water, whose surface is smooth and beautiful, reflecting all 
 nature's charms. Yet how easy can the calmness be changed 
 into ripples, with just one little stone being thrown into this 
 immense body of water causing numberless ripples or vibra- 
 tions. The ripples goes on and on until it has spent its force 
 and becomes one with this calm body of water again. Just 
 so it is with an unbalanced human life. A man may look ever 
 so happy and be undisturbed and all is peaceful with him and 
 you would think this man would not let anything come in and 
 break this peaceful life of his. And yet with some little dis- 
 turbance, which may be so small, which may enter either 
 through his own mistake or else some annoyance caused by an- 
 other person, he at once sets into motion feelings of confusion 
 and his peaceful life at once becomes disturbance, anger, jeal- 
 ousy or other wise according to the emotion evoked. Does this 
 not prove an unbalanced inward condition, or the opposite 
 from a well poised being? Does this not prove that he is not 
 yet of the peaceful life. Man has so accustomed himself to 
 consult with reasons, which often jumps at conclusions coldly 
 and blindly, very frequently creating a self-satisfied explana- 
 tion to the one involved. Man must learn how to consult his 
 spiritual brain, but man has not learned how, consequently 
 this organ has been largely neglected and overlooked, for there 
 is so little real spirituality in the life of mankind. When 
 peaceful life, or, in other words, when mortals awaken to 
 real man, the one who is the dynamic force within the body 
 and which is locked to the body at the center, wherein is con- 
 tained the real life and most sensitive brain belonging to the 
 real man the spiritual self-c^nsciou^. this organ the brain has 
 become dead to the spiritual life and it must be awakened and 
 brought into operation before he can become a spiritual con- 
 scious being and as you become awakened to your real beinar 
 yon will then know as the spirit is linked to the center of your 
 body, just so are you linked to God, the center of life. Can 
 you not see where all should be a peaceful life ? Then can you 
 not readily perceive how necessary it is to awaken this spiritual 
 brain in your body in order for you to become God-conscious 
 within your being and the more peaceful you become because 
 the spiritual brain is far more stronger than the head brains. 
 as the spiritual brain is the ruler, so much of your so-called 
 trouble, such as anger, jealousy, hate, which unbalances the 
 inward condition. Thus the cause for so much of the lower 
 
34 THE TRUTH OF LIFE 
 
 attitudes within man predominating today as in the past, be- 
 cause he does not exercise the spiritual brain, known as the 
 solar plexus. It has been kept in subjection and the head al- 
 lowed to rule you can not expect to go on through your life un 
 earth under such conditions and have, a peaceful life before 
 you. Man must awaken up to the realization of attuning him- 
 self to God and adjustment of himself to the spiritual law in 
 life, thus placing himself in the vibration which creates peace- 
 ful conditions. You cannot escape peaceful conditions, for 
 life is full of vibrations, whether conscious of their existence 
 or not, you must come in touch of this vibration, then do you 
 really begin to live to understand and to create an inward 
 peaceful life which surely will reflect and radiate peace which 
 cannot easily be disturbed, by man of earth, for you have be- 
 come one with this peaceful life, and you know of this won- 
 derful strength, for your strength comes from the interior, and 
 never from the exterior, and if you give this one thought you 
 will observe this in natural law all through life. Everything 
 in life draws from the real force. Everything that comes forth 
 from the ground draws from this life force, for instance, the 
 branches of the trees do not draw their nourishment from the 
 bark of the tree. No ; the roots spreads out into the earth and 
 draws the elements necessary and supply the huge trunk, and 
 all the branches draw from the trunk of the tree. We can 
 place man on the same base with a tree, for man draws or at- 
 tracts to his being all of the necessary elements for the sus- 
 tenance of the body, and gives to the body that life force which 
 makes it alive and enables it to operate in all the diverse duties 
 pertaining to the physical life of man. The material draws 
 material sustenance, while the soul draws from the life f^rce. 
 Your soul draws all vibrations necessary for its nourishment 
 to the spirit, while the spirit operates through your physical 
 body, consequently you can understand how the spirit is linked 
 to the soul. Everything in life draws fr^m this one force, thus 
 the soul then must draw from God. the real force, its life, an d 
 this one force is the same nly in decree, according to your de- 
 mand. You may say, can everything draw fr^m this one life- 
 force and it never exhausts? No; the more this life-force is 
 used or drawn from the greater the supply, because it is crea- 
 tive. In trying to bring the truth to you of this great life- 
 force and trying to explain that the inner supplies the outer 
 expression or form of life, to enjoy and live this peaceful life 
 endeavor to use the inner soul brain to its fullness, this re- 
 requires calmness, deliberation, negativeness in solving all per- 
 plexities, in other words, learn to <ro into silence and learn 
 to know thy real self. To know thyself, you would never allow 
 anger or impatience to govern you, no matter the circumstances 
 involved. When you feel that anger is going to govern you, at 
 
THE TRUTH OF LIFE 35 
 
 once wait, and calm yourself, and quietly go by yourself and 
 meditate, think of the great center of all life, and let this force 
 rule you, by so doing think of the great possibilities before 
 you. There is nothing to gain in going backward, always push 
 ahead in your achievement. You have never seen life go back. 
 God is forever going on and on; if he did not then man could 
 eventually climb up to him and then there would be an end. 
 So you must go on and on as there is no ending then there must 
 be eternal progression. To stand still while you are on earth 
 would be lifeless. As life is all activity or vibration, in some 
 form or another, you can not stand still in this life. To stand 
 still you would become like stagnant water which is not refed 
 with fresh water and becomes infected with germs of low vi- 
 brations. To enjoy all the beauty around you, you must keep 
 the soul alive with a fresh influx of the God-life ; this enables 
 the spirit to act freely, keenly and wisely, creating a healthful 
 and lovely human body for the spirit to express itself through 
 in all of its beauty and spiritual splendor. Could you grasp the 
 full meaning of all God's teachings, you would never feel dis- 
 couraged, no matter what comes into your life to become dis- 
 couraged is like unto the stagnant water. Your life is then 
 open to germs of disease and low vibrations and you lose hold 
 of your grip on the real things of life, for how could you live 
 a peaceful life and be discouraged? Do you not know that 
 the mind becomes befogged and your vision dull and you lose 
 opportunities all around you ? Always look to God with a new 
 hope then can you "greet one another with a kiss of charity 
 and peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus." 1 Peter, 
 5 Chapter, 14 verse. When man becomes more and more to 
 the understanding of their inner life they can go forth and do 
 for their fellow man and help many to come into this peaceful 
 life and be one with the universe, and walk hand in hand with 
 each other in peace and thus bring better conditions into the 
 world. This should be man's life work here on earth instead of 
 being discouraged with life and feel that God has not intended 
 for them to enjoy their life, when man learns to look at the 
 bright side of life and endeavors under all conditions to keep 
 a calm repose, and by so doing you are the conqueror and the 
 master of your dominion, and when you learn to be master, 
 then do you attract new forces, and you cannot help but create 
 new conditions, far more superior to your old conditions. And 
 this should give new strength to never lose courage in this 
 great work before you. Go forth and be fearless, be brave, 
 and never lose sight of the center of all life. God, greet your 
 fellow man with a peaceful love thought for all humanity and 
 see if life does not seem sweeter to you than ever before, for 
 you have now learned the God-life within vour own soul. Amen.
