Funeral Ceremony Lovingly dedicated to my sister, mother and all Soulsentering the Light, or G.L.E. as known to Masons

. . . light merges into Light,life to Life, as under Law

soul absorbing . . .into Oversoul.

And more than flesh and blood,Love reigns supreme

through the very Heart of God.

The Law of Attraction sweeping allwithin its wake, for which, at decisions hour

deaths great illusionis dispelled.

Where indeedwe utter at-one, with the Christ :

I / and my Father / are One.

That whatsoever ye shall ask in my name,that will I do, that the Father

may be glorifiedin the Son.

It is here, that the sons of Godwithin ourselves attract,

to Life returningunto the Heart.

It is thus, we celebratea soul, a son of God

returning unto its own.

Let us then strengthenattraction of soul, to Oversoul. Let us

change, with her, all sense of separation not becausethe body is weak, but because the Spirit is willing :

For we know : that the sons of men are one,and we are one with them.

Let all men love.Let love prevail.

Commentary

The poem presupposes the existence of an orderly universe governed by an AbsoluteBoundless Condition and the various Laws it is governed by. One such law, the great Lawof Attraction according to the Guides of the race governs not only the very big as thesolar system and humanity but also the very small, the individual human unit. For the

latter this includes the process of death. The reason for this, noted by a Tibetan Master isthat the atoms not only of the human physical body but also of the emotional and mentalvehicles return, via such power or law of attraction to their great resolving reservoirs orsource, relatively soon after the time of death: a law equally applying to the Soul, whomon its own plane ever realizes it is one, with all souls and so identifying more fully(without lower hindering vehicles) as a result of this process, with the Oversoul. Throughthe treading of the spiritual Path of greatest resistance as its sometimes called(discipleship and initiation) the final perfecting/refining stages of the lower vehicles isattained. Collectively this is called under Christian phraseology the establishing of theKingdom of God on earth. Today the new discipleship is a science. Not merely based onfaith, but on rules, laws and principles for which Those Who have trod this way before ushave mastered and suggest, for younger aspirants willing and ready for this particularchallenging opportunity to likewise tread, and attain.

Also under such Path there is an immense science of correspondences which interpretsGod to man. Through study for example of the various analogies and comparisons as theHeart of God correlating to the Law of Attraction and likewise to the further principle andlaw of Love as much the Son (the second or Love) aspect of the Trinity the greaterfusions and syntheses for which each man forms an interrelated part at least potentially can be interpreted and understood with far deeper and comprehensive insight. Thoughtime of course for the assimilation of the necessary teachings (new or recapitulated whereavailable from earlier lives,) needs equally to be considered.

Three main pillars of the Path include study, service and meditation. The new discipleshiptraining necessitates a duly well-stocked lower mental body, or concrete mind. For thisvehicle is the great bridging vehicle for allowing initial and due contact with the trueThinker, the Soul, and for interpreting the latters light of Wisdom or Insight and as aconsequence for putting such, to good use, through a life of practical service for humanityand the Plan. We attract, what we radiate or invoke. As the physical and emotionalvehicles are refined alongside the lower mental and its inclination to serving as theanalytical integrating agent it sums up those necessary wherewithals for evoking thehigher. The general mystical -spiritual or -religious path however is still the way for manynot ready for the more vigorous mental-and-spiritual esoteric path, even so, stillfulfilling an essential part in the divine process.

Needless to say humanity is also very much in the equation for solving her own problems.Thinking only the elite, the esoteric or deeply spiritual folk hold all solutions to worldproblems is a vast mistake. Humanity is moving on to coordinating more of her mentalvehicle and thereby, as the great bridging agent holding an unparalleled opportunity with that, which is above. The key to humanitys upliftment and enlightenment lies in thegenuine realization of where each is focused, (or within which vehicle) and the needededucational tools applied for uplifting and enlightening such a focused orientation up to,the next rung or vehicle until the top of the ladder is reached.

Those oriented within lower emotional desires and physical instincts need to be taughthow to uplift and enlighten their focus up to higher emotional goals and aims. Thoseoriented in a more cultured emotional and a little of the lower mental need to movetowards such fullness of the intellect as the great integrating or bridging agent between,the Personality and the Soul, or, through the broader correspondence between Humanityand the Spiritual Hierarchy of Light we might otherwise call, of Enlightened HumanBeings. 1 The next step or rung not merely that of perfection but of a universe based on theprinciple of Hierarchy, (or hierarchical Hylozoism 2 for all is life: from the tiniestof atoms to impenetrable infinity) must needs equally be sown into the fertile soil ormethodology upon which the next higher vehicle can grow and flourish. From anotherangle each cell or hierarchical system is composed of energy or light. All therefore isenergy or light at one rarefied level or another. It is only a matter of teaching students toteach themselves the whys or wherefores for penetrating the current (vehicle) barrier tomore growth, where the true goal to education enlightenment may be seen floweringupon the earth: pending of course right application and utilisation is added, to rightrealisation.

Through sharing the creative nature of the Soul (which often emerges through challenging

opportunities or crises) may all the sooner our co-Creator responsibilities with theOversoul, the overseeing Creator, be established. Isolated uncoordinated efforts cannotuplift a material society or one lost in the abyss of moral relativism. 3 A New World, aNew Age and a New Humanity are all on their way. Humanity holds her own destiny.The scales are not entirely tipped until we engage the Adjudicators hands and feet forreversing a selfish materialism onto the Lighted Way embodying that lighted Kingdom of Souls, within ourselves. Those Who have traveled a little further upon the Path than theaverage the Guides of the race indicate that death is not the end. It is merely adoorway in to L IFE . On the other side prior to further rebirth for the majority greaterfreedom is also afforded along with added learning on the Way .

But in the world of form, the rules and guidelines are already distributed worldwide. Itremains but for us to strengthen the circulation and to adding our further creativelivingness or deeper insight into the equation that others might see, and so tread, itslivingness.

In this light, the spirit of the poem is offered to aid quashing humanitys fears andmisconceptions concerning death, and through the enunciation of the fact to theimmortality of Life , or Spirit besides the eternal nature or progress of the Soul . The samenote is profoundly and beautifully summed up, in that Ancient Hindu Mantram :

Lead us O Lord, from darkness to Light,from the unreal to the Real,from death to Immortality.

1 Further names for this higher group include, the Communion of Saints, Those just men made perfect, theliberated (Buddhist) Sangha, (Hindu) Rishis and (Chinese) Lohans amongst others.2 The philosophy that everything within the universe is alive or that nothing is inanimate (or without soul).3 The theory which declares all or even no morality systems, as equally valid.
