HEALING AT A DISTANCE“And He sent His word and healed them."

“ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men."—John 1:1-5.

The power of the Word is mighty to make alive whether spoken by God, or the Christ, or by anyone who has the consciousness that “he is the Temple of the Living God and the Spirit of the Almighty dwell- eth in Him."

God in us is Omnipotent Love and Power, ever mak­ing for peace, harmony, life, abundance and illumina­tion in every living soul.

Healing treatments to bring permanent results must go beyond mere suggestion. The SOUL must be awakened through the CREATIVE WORD and be re­newed by a baptism of the Waters of Life.

New Thought FundamentalsOD created the universe and after Tie made it, we are told

lie called it "good." because of this statement there are many among advanced thinkers who hold that God fin­

ished his perfect creation in the beginning of time, and that all we have t o do is to realize this perfection and it will manifest /or us. This may he true in a sense, but it takes a gradual growth in consciousness for the world t o get this realization.

God is continually creating, ami .slowly manifesting that perfection which lie saw or visioned in the beginning. Look among your friends: look upon the world around you; then look upon yourself. Do you consider yourself a finished prod net? God forbid! Or do you look at any of those around you as having ceased to grow mentally and spiritually? On the contrary, all are striving to better their conditions. Who among us can even imagine a *4alc of perfection in this lim­ited earth consciousness?

We are set here to evolve: to continually manifest the higher vision of tlu>M‘ who have trodden the Path before us, and praises he to God we are shown only a bit of advancement at a time. If we were suddenlv shown a picture of what we are to become, say a million years hence, most of us would be discouraged, but. we. are onfy expected to take one step at a time, hut with the highest vision, we now have constantly in view.

If God had made us perfect, would TTc have implanted this divine urge in the human soul? Why this continual striving to he better, to make others better and to make this world a better place to live in? Perfection is beyond our present concep

tioti on this plane, but the earth is so tiny a spot in God's uni­verse it is certainly not expected that we attain the highest perfection here. We cannot comprehend the immensity of God’s universe. We have just been reading about the mighty planet Betelgeuse, in the great constellation of Orion. This star is the lower of the two stars above the belt and sword, and really constitutes the head of Orion. It is said to have a diameter of 260,000,000 miles, and is as large as the orbit of Mars. It is 27,000.000 times larger than our Sun, and it* fakes 150 “light years’" for its light to reach us; that is, its light, traveling at the rate of 186,000 miles a second, takes 150 years to reach the earth. Who can comprehend God's uni­verse? No wonder the psalmist looking up at the s k y ex­claimed: "What is man that thou are mindful of him and the son of man that thou visitest him?”

Jesus said, “ In my leather’s house are many mansions,” and there are many planes or planets which we will evolve to as our minds and vision sufficiently expand to relate us to those planes.

God vizuali/es and creates a thing perfect, or in its per­fected state, but it lakes time for that thing itself to manifest the (iod-visiouecl perfection, be it man or tree. To illustrate: ( «od may create a seed, and vision and speak the Creative-Word that from that seed shall spring a mighty redwood tree, hut it takes time for the seed to germinate, sprout, tlowcr and mature, finally creating of itself more and more of its kind.

So God may vision man in a perfected state, blit it takes eons of evolution to bring that picture into manifestation.

('.od created this universe by thought: all its glory, beauty and immensity is God-created; and everything God has created has the creative germ within itself. From the mineral or lowest form of life, which manifests the powers of attraction, colics ion and repulsion, up through vegetable and animal life which, can reproduce their kind, and still up the scale to the human, we are co-creators with God. liven the great planets in the

skies have the power to throw off great masses which in time make satellites revolving about them.

All this immensity was created by the thought-energy and vizualizalion of God, and God has made all his creation co-cre- ative so there is no limit to its expansion, which is continually going on. \Ye can sec this in even the smallest forms of life and when evolution reaches the vegetable stage we can see it still more creative as all plants have the power of producing -millions of their kind, and these are continually combining to form new species.

Man is unquestionably co-creative with God, and immeas­urably more creative than the evolutionary stages which pre­ceded him on this earth plane.

Christ said: “Ye arc one with God the Father,** therefore we must be creators with Him, and we are continually build­ing and creating better as our mental and spiritual vision expands. An architect may plan a house, but as he begins work on his plan, inspiration will come to him to perfect here and there, until his completed house stands before him, very different from the first mental picture which came to him when he started the house, and even then he is not satisfied when it is completed, for he secs ways always where it might be improved. An artist also may see a picture mentally, and when he comes to put it on canvas, will brush out infinitely more than he has painted in, in order that he may even approach the ideal he visioned.

All God creates is good, and all we create is good in God’s eyes, because He sees it is better than something we have created in the past. A little child may be given a modelling set and try to mould a horse or dog, and it will look good to us, and w e will praise the child for the effort it has made, and call it. “good,” but we know and have faith that the child will create something better another day, when it gets a little higher vision, and so J believe God looks upon the creations of His earthly children. IJe has planted in us the seed of perfection, and He rejoices to see it gradually becoming manifest. Time

does not bother God; it is only we of the smaller vision who get fussed up because someone is a week doing that which we think they should do in a day, or a year doing that which should be done in a month.

Build, yourself, with the larger vision, and look upon that which others are building in the same light, and you will pro­nounce it good. But God pity the man or woman who looks ui)ou himself as a finished product. A finished perfect product has readied a stage of stagnation, neither going forward or. backward. There would be no incentive to live, no incentive to die, no incentive to give a helping hand, tor what would be the use if you considered everything and everyone perfect now. There would be no incentive to learn or to stir ourselves to any action. All one could do in the perfected state would be to dream in blissful content, motionless, and expressionless, like the unconscious baby soul in the mother’s womb. Strive ye rather “to be perfect as your Bather in Heaven is perfect,” and so fulfil the teaching of Christ.

“God l l w i t y h t and the universe was wrought.” is the funda­mental idea in Xew Thought. God thought and the universe was wrought and we have therefore through this God-mind which is in us, the power to create our own universe. But we must think as God thinks in order to do this, and gradually it is being revealed to us I w re God thinks.

This idea of creating what wo desire, by our thought-force, is embodied in Xew Thought, Christian Science, Theosophy and other advanced cults, not to speak of Psychology which the scientists now recognize. The modern books on this sub­ject have been written mostly in the past fifty years; although a few date back through centuries, as there are always some prophet-souls on earth in advance of the race. We find glimpses of this philosophy also in the most ancient of the oriental philosophies, showing that the greatest souls who have come to earth to enlighten men, have understood and used these principles now being brought forth under the misnomer “New Thought.” The only sense in which it is New Thought

5

T h e A q u a r i a n A g e

is in the fact that it is in advance of the race consciousness, but coming more rapidly forward now that we have entered the New Age.

Jesus the Christ was the greatest religious teacher who has come to earth, and his message is filled with this New-Old Thought, to t h o s e zo h o h a v e v i s io n in i n t e r p r e t a t i o n . lie has told us unmistakably “The Kingdom of Heaven is within you,” and to make this teaching imperative He commanded his dis­ciples “As ye go, preach, saying, the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” Matthew 10:7. And to the multitude he said, “ Repent for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17.

To the majority on this plane the Kingdom still seems far off. but it is because they have misunderstood this statement of the Christ and sought the Kingdom, “far off/’ not looking within where the Father dwcllcth.

Every man, woman and child has the power to create by his thought and action a paradise of his own, and bring into manifestation the Kingdom within, not forgetting however to show others this inward path also. For no man can live in the Kingdom alone, and we will never find it a perfectly flawless Kingdom until the last child of God finds his Kingdom within. There is one great Truth to realize and that is this: Those who help others to find the way, more quickly come into the joy of the Kingdom, finding it as the Master said, close al hand.

Treatment for Self-HealingGeorge B. Brownell

■pc ERE is a treatment that will be effective in many cases if the patient will persevere faithfully in carrying out the instructions given. Upon the harmless looking little word

“if” will depend success or failure. Jt is a hard matter to get people to change life-long habits of thinking and living; it is easier to “drift with the tide" or move in the old ruts. It means effort and concentration to build a new channel, but after it is built it is as easy to move in it as it; was in the old and the results are always soul-satisfying and infinitely worth while.

Til health is due to the breaking of some law, and the les­sening of our vital resistance. One desiring health should, if possible, search out the cause of their trouble and conquer it or live above it, for as long as it operates its shadow will be cast in the body. We can usually trace inharmony in the body to some abnormal practice or slate of mind, such as worry, fear, overwork, ovcrindulgence along some line, overeating, wrong combinations of food and too rich foods or too many kinds at one meal, and other causes.

When we live in harmony with Divine Uaw we shall always he healthy, happy, strong; bright in intellect, and keep the wisdom and knowledge that we acquire. We must live from the highest within us—the Kingdom of I leaven and its Right­eousness—listen to the voice of the soul—and then we shall he led into green pastures and beside still waters, and all these things that we desire, light of countenance, joy of spirit, power to serve, shall be ours in overflowing measure.

This treatment will bring an influx of vitality to the whole system and stimulate to greater activity the eliminating organs particularly. The healing forces in the soul can he directed bv our thought to any part affected. Healing is always the result of power from Uod, co-operating with the power within.

Always before treating get quiet and centered for a few moments and then look up in thought or prayer to the highest, the Christ of Cod, the Great Healer of Mankind, and ask His blessings upon your efforts. The law is “Ask and it shall be given unto you,” for that establishes the connection between you and the Source of all Power. The Christ Realm—the Realm of Penediciion—is organized on the plan of love and service, and no prayer ever thought or uttered but is responded to and answered to the fullest as the conditions will permit. We may not see any tangible evidences immediately, but some deeper blessing has come and in due season we shall reap the harvest if we faint not.

“Now to Him who hv the action of His power within us can do all things, ave PAR MORE THAN \YE EVER ASK OR IMAGINE, to Ilim be glory. Eph. 3-20.

IIRRE is only one way that I can justify the death of an infant, and that is on the basis of Reincarnation, and that a Karmic debt had to be paid. The doctrine teaches

that by the death of the body in infancy, or early childhood, a past debt for sin, or some great wrong in a former incarnation is the more quickly eliminated, and that in such cases an incom­ing Ego quickly reincarnates in another body, and possibly in the same family. Life in the body is where experience and knowledge are gained, and it does not seem to me that God would be just in foreordaining certain children to an almost sure death of their new body, in infancy, if that was the only body of flesh and blood they were to ever possess, 'flic star map, or Figure of the Heavens, at birth, does inevitably fix the physical status and duration of life, especially with chil­dren, and if the very vibrations and natural laws that were operating over us at birth tend to fix the nature, diseases, and destiny for one life on earth, there must be a just reason for death in infancy. Some children, on the other hand, are born at times when the heavenly bodies are so harmoniously con- liguraled that vitality and dural ion of life are endowed, and it is considered in metaphysical and occult circles that the child born at a fortunate lime in nature, with a good temperament and prospect of health and duration of life, has been so born, as a reward for past good living, and spiritual attainment. All people may be born with equal rights before the law, but that is the only instance in which they are born equal. As to their bodies, mental possibilities, talents, prospects and general en­dowments, no two people are born alike in the same Age or Kra, for a period of almost 2f>.000 years must elapse before the configuration, angles, vibrations, and influences in and

T h e A q u a r i a n A g e

among the heavenly bodies will be back to their same positions, and status, to produce like conditions; a like temperament and body as once existed in a past Age.

Personally, I am not in a position to verify the truth of the doctrine of Reincarnation, but it looks reasonable, and the only philosophical explanation 1 can find to account for the inequali­ties among people and their varied fates on Earth. 1 do not believe that reincarnation has to be a fact, or a necessity, after people become enlightened, experienced and spiritually ad­vanced, but for those who have lived wrong, been criminals, murderers, thieves, liars; those who have lived wholly in their lower and sensuous minds; for those who are Earth-bound, and who, as yet, iind little to interest them on the other side of death; for such, reincarnation must be a necessity.

Reincarnation is hinted at in the Bible in several places, but this doctrine is an Oriental doctrine, and the Christ, in insti­tuting Christianity did not dwell much, if any, upon the neces­sity of Reincarnation, as so generally believed in by the Budd­hists, Hindoos and others, but rather taught that this present life is a crucial time with everyone, when, by right living, right thinking, by the new birth, by overcoming sin. tempta­tion, and the world and thus becoming a new creature, the general aim and purpose of life on Earth could be accom- lished in the one life at hand, and a stale of spiritual bliss and reward obtained after death, thus making reincarnation no longer necessary. The doctrines and ideals to be attained in life, and the moral and ethical codes of living, acting, and thinking, were made so high, and so advanced in the system, which the Christ instituted, known as Christianity, that, if they could be lived up to and made an inherent part in the essential character of each Ego, there would be no desire for further reincarnation in the life and evolution of such a spirit, unless life on earth again was desired from some high motive, as to be a Teacher or Helper of humanity on its upward path to the goal of attainment and perfection.

The old doctrine that “W’liatsoever a man soweth, that shall11

Tin-: Aquarian Ar.iiho also reap,” is a law of Nature in any sphere of life or ac­tion, and certain effects will always follow certain causes in the ordinary course of events. If you are earth-bound, and at present absorbed with material and worldly things; if you are living a life of sin, debauchery and wickedness, you are sow­ing a certain kind of seed that will inevitably reap a similar harvest sometime and somewhere, but it is apt to be on Earth. “For he that soweth to his flesh shall of th e f l e s h reap corrup­tion" (Cral. 6:8). People can have a Hell here on Earth, as well as a I leaven, in my younger days I used to live in con­stant fear of the hereafter, and the Fire and Brimstone doc­trine was ever held as a threat over mv head for wrong doing bv the Church. AIv study of Astrology, and the occult has led me to believe that the Bible writers had in mind the ulti­mate idea of reincarnation, as the one great source of punish ment and further experience, until all penalties were paid, and the final stage of evolution of the Ego was reached until earth life, as such, ultimately becomes a burden, and is no longer desired, and the needed lessons arc learned and the Ego, or Spirit, prefers the higher spiritual environment beyond the grave, i don’t know how many bodies l may have had in the past, or how many lives I may have lived, but what I have seen and learned in this present life has been sufficient to satisfy my desire for mere earth life, as such, except to live for and be a servant of humanity; and show others the upward wav, and when I get on the "Other Side" the next time I think 1 will stay there, and know how to <»ay there, and not he linger ing around in the lower strata of the astral plane, hunting for other earth parents, a time and place, and with a desire to rein­carnate. There are regions on Beyond that 1 want to explore in which T am more interested now than Earth life.

The Star map at birth practically shows the stage of your evolution, and what kind of a past you have had, and when you give an Astrologer your full birth data, as the year, month, day, hour, moment and place of birth, from which he can erect the figure of the Heavens for the time of your birth, you

12

T iik A ooakian Am-have given him the secrets of your sun! so that he knows your tendencies; and the trend of your mind, whether it be down to the sensuous, or up, to the spiritual; and although you might deny your evil traits, you cannot hide them from the Astrol­oger, who is educated in the laws of the science. The Star map, however, only shows how you were horn and the founda­tion upon which you are to build a superstructure. You can rise above the evils of your map, and transcend them by knowl­edge of yourself, by will-power, and spiritual regeneration, so* that the evils will not constantly rule you, but as long as you live in this same body on earth you will have your inborn evils to contend with, although they may not predominate and rule you. lhit once you have gained the mastery and have learned to rule your stars, so that none of the evils of your nature, no longer are a pleasure, you are well on the road to Initiation; perfection and Adcptsliip.

I have felt it necessary in this article to dwell somewhat at length ii|ion the doctrine of Reincarnation, as it seems to be a vital doctrine, and one of the basic and fundamental laws hack of Astrology, to explain the difference in the star maps of people, and why some are born with a weak body and fated to an early death; while others are horn with strong, healthy bodies, and naturally destined to a long, pro>pernus and useful life. People who have been criminals in the past are usually born criminals now, and they will always reincarnate as crim­inals until they get tired of the business, or some one points <*ut their weakness, and they become self-conscious of it, and determine by an act of the will to be different in the future, and also receive the help of the Higher Powers to live right. Tf you are not able to compter now, and live right in this present life, you arc, by your own actions now building and formulat­ing the plan, and the kind of a body von will have in the next incarnation, and also the kind of a life you will live, and your future bodies will be as you predetermine them. If you want a healthy body, and one that will live and give you good serv­ice, then do not abuse the body you now have, and give it over

U

T he Aquarian Age

to gluttony, debauchery, and sensuality, for you are now shap­ing your next star map, so that the Astrologer who might ex­amine it in a later age would know the kind of a life you have lived in your present body. It is never too late to change your ways and rise to such high ideals and living right now in this present life, and it lies in your power to make your next map a good one, and one that will show physical, mental and spiritual power if you desire to reincarnate to help humanity, br for other reasons, or for needed experience to further round out your character. Also remember that it is the character you end up with in this life that will do much to determine your future destiny. I am now ready in my next article to take up the interpretation of the star map from the standpoint of health and disease.

[751OMEWHERE I heard a story that almost parallels the 1^=1 story of the Prodigal Son with its beautiful lesson of

Divine Providence, showing how the Father hath every soul in his loving care.

This young man, like many others, felt the lure of the big world beyond, and so he asked his father for the portion of goods that fell to his lot and started off on his long journey.

He left behind him the comforts of home, friends, and wise council, and made his way into a far country. Hut the father was a wise man and realizing that the son might come to want, secretly sewed some precious jewels into the folds of his rohe, so that the young man might find them in the hour of need, when his substance was spent, and thus he enabled to return to his Father’s house.

The young man wandered on, spending his substance in worldliness and vanity until his last farthing was gone, and he began to realize the meaning of want. Then he began to think and reason and compare. Hunger began to press upon him. He sought employment only to he turned away. Finally in this sore dilemma, almost beside himself, he began to pound his breast as people do in great trouble, as if they would pound nut of the soul a solution to their problem. In doing this his hand hit upon something hard in the folds of his garment, and searching to see what it could be, he found the hidden treasure, which enabled him to make his way back again to the shelter and guiding hand of a wise and loving father. It is a beautiful lesson of the way God provides and cares for us, and it only does faint justice, to the reality. Tt shows that the Divine Presence is ever with us, and in us, and the solution to every problem, the power to master, the wisdom and love to rise ahove every limitation is ever at hand. That Presence is ever

15

Tmi Aquarian Ac.Hwith us no matter how far we may roam from its Kingdom of Love and Power.

In the story of the Prodigal Son we read that when the young man was returning and was still a great way off, the father saw him and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. The father was watching for him and saw him while he was a far way off. This is a beautiful lesson, dear soul of Divine Mercy and goodness. Some times we do not learn our lessons in the light, and then darkness enfolds us, and out of the dark­ness we grope our way to the light and learn to appreciate the blessings that come in the light.

Note, that in the state of mind the young man was in, the father could not help him. It was only as pain and darkness entered in that he began to look above or within for help, and turning his hack upon the transitory and the vain, he opened his being to the father’s blessings.

Let us realize that “As our days so shall our strength he,” and that no problem or difficulty can arise or confront us, but what Divine Love and Wisdom can solve, and no burden so great hut the Great Purden Hearer can lift. No matter what our condition, there is always a remedy, always a Power super­ior to it that will respond through our faith, to our earnest appeal.

God’s Sworn Covenant with King DavidIiy W illia m A le x a n d e r R e d d in g

C r ip p le ( 'reek , ( o lo .

Y N my articles, ahead of this one, I have stated that God intends to bring the ancient King David back to earth and make him the establisher of the new Dispensation

that is soon to come onto this earth. And, as the subject is new and unheard of, the evidence about it must be brought from every direction. Therefore, a b r i e f history of David will help the world into an understanding of the subject.

David was the youngest son in the family. When he was a young boy he had to herd his father’s sheep. He had seven older brothers.

God wanted a man to act as King over the Twelve Tribes of Israel. God had the man already picked out, hut nobody knew it. So God told the prophet Samuel to go to l ’cthlehem and kill a heifer and offer up a sacrifice unto the Lord and invite David’s father to the sacrifice, so the people, round about, would not suspicion what was going on. They would just think that the usual religious ceremony was being per­formed. They would never suspicion that a king was to be found and anointed; but God told Samuel to be sure to have David’s father at the sacrifice. So Samuel did as the Lord directed. The heifer was killed and the sacrifice was made, and David’s father was there; and Samuel said to him to bring his sons before Samuel, one at a time. So the oldest son (David’s oldest brother') was brought before Samuel, but Samuel shook his head and said, “This is not the right one.” So the next son was brought before Samuel, but he shook his head and said, “This is not the right one.” So the next son was brought, but Samuel said, “This is not the right one.” They kept on bringing the sons up till seven had passed be­fore Samuel; but a ll of them were rejected. Then Samuel

said, “Are these all the sons you have?” The old father (David’s father) said, “No, I have another young boy, but he is out on the prairie herding the sheep.” Samuel said, “Bring the boy in and have him pass before me.” So they hurried out to the herd of sheep and brought the young David in and had him pass before Samuel. And God said to Samuel, “This is the man 1 have chosen; arise and anoint the boy with oil as the man I want to be king over Israel.” So Samuel arose and anointed the boy David. And the spirit of the Lord came onto David from that hour, and he was the anointed king over Israel. See the account of it set forth in the sixteenth chap­ter of First Samuel. Notice how quietly it was all fixed up so as to make it secret and not let the people know what was going on. And notice that God told Samuel to be sure to have Jesse (David's father) there. God knew that he had picked on Jesse’s youngest boy (David) to be king over Israel; but no one but God knew this. Even Samuel was not per­mitted to know it. This is why all the sons had to pass .be­fore Samuel so he could get the hint as to which son was the right one. The Lord would not tell Samuel which one was the right one till the right one would pass before Samuel. It would have been easy for God to tell Samuel to go and anoint that David boy, out there with the sheep; but God would not do it that way. He made them go through with a long trial performance with all of the other sons first. And God would reject every one of them till they came to the boy David. This teaches the world a lesson about God is not a respecter of persons. The world chews on this statement c o n t in u a l l y . They say, “ G o d i s n o r e s p e c t e r o f p e r s o n s ! ' They find this statement in the Bible and they harp on it c o n t i n u a l l y without knowing what it means. It does not mean at all what people t h i n k it does. This case of rejecting all of David’s older brothers (seven of them) and choosing David, «the last one, shows that God i s a respecter of persons and don’t treat all people alike. This principle is shown in Abraham’s case, too. Why pick out Abraham as a special man for a special purpose t

Tin* Aquarian Age

Why did not God pick out e v e r y b o d y and make a ll of them into Abrahams? Why select just one man and pay no atten­tion to all other men around Abraham? And why did God pick out Noah and his family and put them into the ark and save t h e m from the flood and let all o t h e r people go down? “God is no respecter of persons/’ you say. He treats all alike, you say. And why did Christ pick out just twelve men to act as Apostles and let all o t h e r men alone? Why not make all men Apostles, as God is no respecter of persons, you say.' And why did God choose Isaac to be the Elect seed and leave all of Abraham’s other sons untouched? God is no respecter of persons, you say. Why select just one son as a specialty and leave all the o t h e r sons of Abraham untouched? Abra­ham had several other sons besides Isaac. Why not make a ll of them the Elect seed? Why select the man Jesus to be the Christ and the establisher of the New Age? Why not let e v e r y b o d y he the Christ? God is no respecter of persons, you say. W hy select Jeremiah to be a special prophet to do a special work? Why not let e v e r y b o d y be it? God is no re­specter of persons, you say. Anti, yet, God selected Jeremiah before he was born. See Jeremiah 1 :5. Plow can you get around these cases and many others set forth in the Bible? Why did God select Moses before he was born and hide him away from the officers who were going around killing babies? Other babies were not hidden out to protect them. God is no respecter of persons, you say; so why did God fix a plan to save Moses from the killing officers while o t h e r babies were left to the slaughter? What can you say to these things? Why did God select Joseph as a specialty and leave eleven other brothers untouched? Why not select a l l of them and treat all alike? Why make Joseph the Ruler over Egypt and force all the other eleven brothers to come under Joseph and eat out of his hand! Why not treat all alike, as God is no respecter of persons, you say. I could mention many more cases in the Bible to show that God is a respecter of persons. Christ says, “There shall be two women grinding at a mill,

19

T he Aquarian A g e

o n e will be selected and the other one left.” Why not select both, as God is no respecter of persons, you say. And Christ says, “There shall be two in a bed, o n e will be selected and the other one left.” Why not select both and treat them all alike? How can you answer these things?

Now take up David’s case and go on further with it. After he was anointed, that day, as King, God made a speech about it. Here is what God said:

N o w , t h e r e f o r e , s a y u n t o m y s e r v a n t D a v id , I t o o k t h e e f r o m t h e s h e e p c o t e f r o m f o l l o w i n g th e s h e e p , t o h e r u le r o v e r m y p e o p le I s r a e l , a n d I w a s w i t h t h e e w i t h e r s o e v e r t h o u w e n t e s t , a n d T, th e L o r d , h a v e c u t o f f a l l t h in e e n e m i e s o u t o f t h y s ig h t a n d h a v e m a d e t h e e a g r e a t n a m e l ik e t h e n a m e o f g r e a t m e n o f e a r th .— I I S a m u e l 7 : 8 , 9 .

This is God’s f i r s t speech to David, telling him the situa­tion. Then, afterward, God made a n o t h e r and still s t r o n g e r statement to David and s w o r e to it, which means that the statement was to stand forever and n e v e r come to an end. Whenever God s i v e a r s to a thing it means that it is to go on forever and never come to an end. Rut when God does or s a y s a thing and don’t swear to it lie iulends that it shall last for a time only and then q u i t . This is an important point to remember, as a f e w things in the Bible are sworn to by God, which means that they are p e r m a n e n t and arc to go on forever; while many other things in the Bible arc n o t sworn to, therefore, they are for a t i m e only, and then they are to quit. 'Phis is a great point for everybody to remember, as people t h i n k that whatever G o d says is permanent and goes on for­ever. Not always so. It depends on whether God has s i v o r n to it or not. This point must always he noticed; and St. Paul discusses it in the seventh chapter of Hebrews, about the Aaron Priesthood. Paul says it was not a permanent thing and it came to its end because it was not sworn to by God. There­fore, God never intended for the Aaron Priesthood to go on forever. It was for a t i m e only. Therefore,* God did not s r v e a r to it. See Paul's discussion of it in Hebrews 7, com­mencing at verse 11. Paul says the Priests came on and died and o th e r s took their place because they were made Priests

20

T he Aquarian Age

without an oath. And, finally, the whole thing quit because it was never intended to be a permanent priesthood. Hut Paul says the Mclchisadcc Priesthood was sworn to and is to go on forever; and God made Jesus Christ a Priest after the order of Melchisadec and not of the Aaron Priesthood. They were widely different. The Aaron Priesthood was for a time only and was not sworn to by God. Hut the Melchisadec Priesthood was to stand forever, therefore God swore to it; and Jesus Christ was made a Priest of the Melchisadec kimh This oath of God attached to things is an important point to watch so we can see what things are intended by God to be permanent and what things are intended to be for a time only and then quit. 'Phis oath matter is the important point to watch. Jesus was sworn to as a Priest of the Melchisadec kind. This makes Jesus stand forever as such a Priest. He is never to come to an end because lie is sworn to by God. liere is the inm-hound oath of Cod making Jesus a Melchis­adec Priest forever:

H O D ' S O A T H O X J E S I ' ST h e l ,o r d s w e a r s a n d w il l n o t r e p e n t n o r t a k e it hark, T h o u ( J e s u s )

art made* a P r ie s t f o r e v e r a f t e r th e o r d e r o f M e lc h is a d e c .— H e b r e w s7 :2 1 .

So this oath of God puts Jesus into the Melchisadec Priest­hood forever. No end to it because of the oath attached to it. Hut the Aaron kind of priesthood was not sworn to by God. therefore it came to an end and quit long ago.

Abraham was sworn to as the leather of an Klcct Nation called Israel; therefore it is to go on forever. Abrahams fatherhood is to stand forever. ft was a permanent thing. ■\nd this is why the old Israelite Nation is to come on again as the Elect Nation. It is a thing that has no end. It never dies or quits because it is sworn to bv Cod. And this is stated positively by Jeremiah as follows;

T h u s s a i t h t h e H u r d , P e a r n o t . O . in> s e n a n t J a c o b , n o r h e d is m a y e d , O I s r a e l , f o r ] w il l s a v e t h e e fr o m a f a r a n d th v s e e d fr o m a ll la n d s , a n d I s r a e l s h a l l r e tu r n ( t o P a l e s t i n e ) a n d s h a l l h e q u ie t a n d

This tells it. All o t h e r nations are to go clown and quit, but Israel is to go on f o r e v e r , because Gocl swore to it to Abra­ham. Abraham's fatherhood is never to come to an end be­cause God s w o r e to it. And this point is stated again, in dif­ferent words, by the Prophet Amos, as follows:

H e a r t h e w o r d t h a t t h e L o r d s p e a k e t h o f y o u , O I s r a e l . Y o u only h a v e T k n o w n , o f a l l th e f a m i l ie s o f th e e a r th .— A m o s 3 : 1 , 2.

Do you see the oath of God sticking fast to the family of Israel? God says, here, “I have not made myself known to anv other family or race of people but fsrael.” TIow do the people explain this away when they are saying that God is no respecter of persons? Why should Gocl pick out just one family or race and stick to them and let all other people go down? How do you explain this away? God says here that of all the families of the earth lie has known none but Isreal; and He says that He intends to make a full end of all other nations and races, but 1 h; 1 1 He will n o t w a k e a full end of Israel. What are you goitig to do with these iron statements? I am pushing this iron doctrine onto the world because G o d has said it and has made, it known to m e; and 1 le has made me His [Messenger to lay it before the world that Israel is to come on again and stand forever, as the Kingdom of God on earth, with David as the King. And that Jerusalem shall be the Capital of the world; and Palestine is to be raised up out of its desolated condition and is to bloom and blossom as the rose: and Jerusalem is commanded to “rise, shine and put on your beautiful garments, () Jerusalem, for your Light of God shall come.” You see what is set to come onto Palestine be cause God s w o r e to the land that it should be a place for Abra­ham’s seed forever, 'flic iron oatli of God sticks fast to the land, forever. And the oath of God sticks fast to Abraham forever. And the iron oath of God sticks fast to Jesus as a Priest of the Melchisadee kind forever. And God swore t<>

22

T im.; Aouakiax Ac.iiKing David that he should he God’s first-born to inherit the kingship of earth forever. God said David should be consid­ered as God’s first-born child so he could inherit the kingship according to the ancient law that made the oldest son the in­heritor of the throne always. This law is still in full swing all over Europe. The oldest son always inherits the throne. This is why God swore to David that h e should be considered God's oldest son so as to inherit the earth throne forever. # And God swore that David should always be a king higher than the o t h e r kings of earth. And St. Paul understood this subject about the elect family of Israel, and that t h e y are to he God’s leaders and rulers and teachers and be God's repre­sentatives in every way. And Paul wrote it all (nit for us, but the world has never caught one idea of the understanding of it. Paul says Israel is to get every thing in God’s plan. And this is exactly what [ am teaching; and L have, the whole Bible backing me up in the teaching. Now hear Paul tell it just as I teach it:

P A U I / S S T A T E M E N T1 c o u ld w is h m y s e l f a c c u r s e d fo r m y b r e th r e n , m y k in m u c h a f t e r

Just notice how strong and how very e x c l u s i v e this is for the Israel family. It says Israel is God's adopted family. They get the a d o p t io n , Paul says. And he says they get a l l the covenants of God. And Israel is to do all the s e r v i c e of God. They do the religious work and attend to all the service or work of God on this earth. And Paul says Israel gets all the promises of God. Just t h i n k of this sweeping statement. It covers every thing. It says Israel gets every thing and is to do all the service of God on this earth. Xo o th e r race is in it a t a ll . No other family gets any of the promises of God because Israel gets all tbe promises of God. And it don’t mean any “s p i r i t u a l Israel,” as people want to make it out that anybody who believes in God is a spiritual Israel whether they have any of Israel blood in them or not. No. It don’t mean

2 3

T r ii- : A o i w r i a n A r .ic

;in\ tiling but actual flesh and blood Israel. And St. Paul presses this point on us by saying that he is talking about his ‘‘k i n s m e n a f t e r t h e f l e s h who are genuine Israelites. Paul clinches this point by saying “my kinsmen after the flesh who are Israelites/' And he says they get it a l l . Nobody else gets anything. Go back and read Paul's statement over and over and see how perfectly clinching he makes it. It will s h o c k the world to see and realize what Paul says on this point. The world has never seen it, and refuses to believe it when I teach it. The world always jumps up on its hind feet and comes at me with froth in its mouth and flings into my face the old thread-bare phrase that “God is no respecter of per sons," and, therefore lie chooses all people alike. Hut the cases I am introducing here clearly upset all such ideas. And this statement of Paul's is the iron clincher that the flesh and blood Israel are to get it a ll. And God says "Though \ will make a full end of all o t h e r nations and races, L will n o t make a full end of thee, O Israel; but 1 will save thee and return thee to your home-land of Palestine, and ye shall be quiet and nobody can make you afraid." Sec Jeremiah o0: 10, 11. It is a n o t h e r iron clincher like Paul's clincher; and l could go on and on with iron clinchers on this point. Look at St. John's statement, lie saw visions and heard the Voice of God speak ing, and this is what John heard out of the mouth of God:

A n d T h e a r d th e n u m b e r d ia l w e r e .w<rV(/ u n t o ( b id , a h u n d r e d an d f o r t y - f o u r t h o u s a n d o f th e twelve ! t i V n f I s r a e l . - - R e v e l a t io n 7 :4 .

And John goes on to name the twelve tribes. And he sa\s that twelve thousand are to come out of each literal tribe. No “spiritual Israel” about it, but the genuine flesh and blood Israel. Why so? Because God s w o r e to it to Abraham. That oath of God always sticks fast, forever. No end to it. Remember this point when I introduce the oath of God put on King David.con's SWORN COVENANT MADE WITH KINO DAVID AliOUT 1050 U.C.

Notice the positive points in this iron covenant. It says that God will heat down David’s foes and that enemies shall not exact off of David. That the covenant shall stand fast on David forever and never be altered nor changed. That God has sworn by His holiness, never to lie to David nor fail in f lis promises. Of course not, as God never lies. That God intends to exalt David. That David is anointed to he the es- tablisher of the new Dispensation. Thai God has made David 1 tis first-born, which means that David is to inherit the King­dom of this earth, just as the first-horn son always inherits the throne in luirope. This custom is still going on in all European countries. This is why God words it up this way, that David is to he considered as the first-born son so lie can inherit the earth throne. And it says that David is to he higher than the kings of earth, which means that he is to be o v e r other kings. This is confirmed by the Prophet Isaiah, who says that God has ordained David to call the new, elect nation together, and that o t h e r nations shall come under David. See Isaiah 55:3-6. And sec Jeremiah 30:9, which says that the people shall serve David their King, whom God will raise up

unto them. And Hosea 1:11 says the people are to appoint themselves “One Head,” and several prophecies tell w h o the “ O n e H e a d '1 is to be. They say it is to be David.

This whole David subject is carefully laid out, all through the Bible, and God is now fixing to bring it to pass. And this is the s o l e and o n l y cause of the present upheavals, all over the world. It is God turning things around so the New Dis­pensation can come on; and no amount of political fixing can change things, as God is pushing His plans right through, and all who stand in the way will be run over and swept down.

A PROPHECYA vision of the future arises. I see a world where thrones

have crumbled and where kings are dust. The aristocracy of idleness has perished from the earth.

I see a world without a slave. Man at last is free. Nature's forces have by science been enslaved. Lightning and light, wind and waves, frost and flame, and all the subtle powers of the earth and air are the tireless toilers for the human race.

I sec a world at peace, adorned with every form of art, with music’s myriad voices thrilled, while lips are rich with words of love and tru th; a world in which no exile sighs, no prisoner mourns; a world on which the gibbet’s shadow does not fall: a world where labor reaps its full reward, where work ami worth go hand in hand.

I see a world without the beggar's outstretched palm, the miser’s heartless, stony stafe, the piteous wail of want, the livid lips of lies, the cruel eyes of scorn.

I sec a race without disease of flesh or byiin—shapely and fair, married harmony of form and function—and, as I look, life lengthens, joy deepens, love canopies the earth; and over all in the great dome shines the eternal star of faith.— R o h e r l I n g e r s o l l .

The Science of Names and NumbersBy OrcEixa Rexi-ord, B. S c.

SYMBOLISM OF NUMBERSC o n t in u e d

'Plic circle and the line together make the figure nine, the • reverse of six. Here wc find the circle pierced by the upreach- ing creative power. At nine the cycle is complete and man, One, reaches upward again into the void, to enter another plane, and take there again his nine degrees. 1 Fere at nine the completed circle is stopped by the up-pointing one. As at five, there is here call for decision.

The gravitation of the down-sweep, the friendliness of the path which his own feet have made smooth, the call of the accustomed and the known, the fears of the vastness and the unknown, all combine to swing man downward along the al­ready trodden path of the cycle he has completed. And here, if he miss the import of his summons, here if he fail of the co-operation he must give, then his degrading is more terrible than at five, for he carries down with him the knowledge from iho temple, and the stored-up powers of eight. Here man cither lifts above limitation, or hangs himself in the noose of lus own making.

From this point, at nine, at the zenith, consciousness may l<»i»k both ways. The up-reaching self becomes detached from the forms and the concerns of the cycle finished, and when this detachment is fully accomplished man finds himself rising at his own zenith, there to begin at the higher, one, and make his journey again.

At nine, there is not only danger of down-swing, but there is danger of a stop, a balancing and a resting, instead of an swering to the new inrush of power and swinging up. Zero at the left of one is meaningless, and so all the values of the com­pleted circle «are meaningless if they come to rest at the place

Tine Aquarian- Ac.kof the starting to the left of the One, to merge into the values of the One of the transversed cycle. Only in passing one, nine finds itself at ten. The completed circle is beyond the One of the start. The potentialities of that One arc augmented, and it lifts and the new spiral is reached.

So consciousness slips the noose of the old round and the new Adam, One, stands again at the top of his path.

The completeness of nine is indicated in many curious ways mathematically, as, for instance, no matter how often added to itself or how multiplied, the sum of its eight digits remains nine. Nine, taken three times, is twenty-seven; seven, plu> two, are nine. Twelve nines are one hundred and eight; eight and naught and one are nine. Nine is the square of three, or represents completeness on all three planes. Man thus satisfies divine consciousness on all three planes and so completes his cycle.

Nine is sacred because from it divinity emerges; four and one and four. Perfection and completeness in the material and the physical o f t h i s c y c le and deity between, up-reaching into its still undifferentiated void. 4 -fl -J-4.

As at five, here is indicated change, a passing from one order to another. While at five, the swing to and fro in expe rience, accomplished at last a new unity, so here standing at the apex, universality is accomplished. The three trinities in eluded in nine suggested the ancient mythology of the Three Graces, Three Kates, Three Kurics. The Nine Muses nf tin* Greeks attend the completed artists. Nature speaks her solemn endorsement of the symbology her priests have taken from her teaching, in the light' of the altars they have tended and still forever tend. The sacred spark of eternal spirit comes to completed incarnation in the nine months cradling of tin* womb, emerging into conscious life, a One. a new Adam h> again traverse nine degrees of development and la* again cast forth from the womb of material experience into a newly con scions round.

When nine is attained, humanity has become universal28

T iiK Aquarian Ack,Human love lifts to merge with the divine, the impersonal. Desires and individual will translate into the law and order by which the cosmos swings. The candidate for the final or ninth initiation of ancient sacred orders was taught that fear menaced him. That every conquered evil here roused again to bar his entrance. Kear is fundamentally a sense of limitation, and at nine it attacks man, because here lie arrives at the wall of himself, at that wall through which he long ago forced open­ing. All the potential of that self is satisfied, its limit reached. I1 1 coming to this wall, man faces limitation unless bv new illumination of will he escapes it. Here he arrives at aj* handoned temple; its iron doors arc closed, and the altars of its refuge cannot be reached. He must realize that his journey has kindled the fires of his own soul and, turning there, seek the sacred flame and by its light see his lifting pathway trans­cend limitation.

We live in a three dimensional world—length, breadth and depth enclose us. Past, present and future limit us. Birth, life and death complete us. Yet, these three threes of limita-, lion are resolved into the freedom of the unenclosed vastness of space, the forever widening circle of eternity and the trans­lation forever of death into new form of life. The square then of limitation is freedom, Nine.

Ten is combination of zero and one. Mathematically, zero here enters into its function of combination with the nine digits. That symbology on which the science of Numbers is based finds the complete circle here combined with the straight line. That line which first developed within the circle has now at­tained separateness and individuality and stands free of the enclosing limitation. So standing, it takes new value. The bisecting line has riven the circle, which has fallen away even as the cotyledons fall away from the uprising stem. The circle which stands besides the perfected One is that of the new void, into which the One penetrates. Here indeed is symbolized the creative act, for the completed One is hut a channel for the uprush of eternal creative principle into the void. There

T his A quarian A giSin that womb of the undifferentiated is received the fecundat­ing spark of life, the projection of the spirit from the old forms from which it escapes. Again, the scintilla, with which we dealt in the beginning of our study, the dot in the circle, the nucleus, the foetus of which will be new birth

It has been the purpose of this chapter briefly to suggest the origin of the science by tracing its relationship to mathematics. Mathematics and the Science of Numbers are both established upon the laws of geometry. We have intended at the same time to suggest the phenomena of nature as the source and demonstration of symbology. The. fundamental fact of vibra­tion has been stated, and its potency to build, tear down and influence has been briefly indicated as the power that operates through numbers. The completer meanings of numbers ap­plied in the Science of Numbers is yet to be made clear, but all arc built upon the symbologies here indicated.
