THERE IS NO DEATH
BelovedGreat Divine Director
("Voiceof theI AM,,,@July1936)

Beloved.Ones, conveyeverywhereyou go-where you can

have harmonious ears-that there is no death. Never did suctr
a thing exist in the history of the world, for only the distortion
of mankind's ideas has clouded the intellect, until human be-
ings have imagined all kinds of things. Time after time, the
Great Light is revealing to mankind-there is no deatht rhe
individual who has passedon has but changed garments, asyou
do in the winter and.summer-chang.d g"rrrr-.rrtswhich gives
them greater Freedom. what a beautifui thing, Dear Heartsr
Yet the tragedy and sorrow in the misunderstanding of this
Mighty Truth is appalling. The most beautiful thing on the

276 (LessonSeven)
face of the Earth is the release of mankind into those other
garments of a finer quality, so the individual might rise and
be free from discord for awhile. Oh, do nor ever again let the
thought of death discourage you, nor the passing of someone.
In that change of garments, think of it as a change into the
Higher Garments of Light-which should be the GreatestJoy
to every human being in the world.

Beloved.Archangel Michael
("Voice of the I AM,"a January 1939)
.[sEECOLOR PTCTUREr3]
You might say to Me, "Well, how doesit come about that
I am here?" Becauseyou choseto come herel Life did not force
you to come. Your Higher Mental Body, which stands above
your human form, is the Director of your life energy, and
chooseswhen and where you shall go. your puny forms which
sometimesfeel so important, what do they do when Life chooses
to withdraw?
You know, Beloved Ones, as well as I do, when a human
form lies helplessbefore you in so-called death, the Life has
withdrawn. All the faculties were there and still are, but why
do those faculties not act? Becausethat body was compelled
to have Life within it in order to act through itt There is not
a human being who can deny it. Therefore, never let the human
feel important before the Presenceof Life, but compel it to stay
humble enough so the Power of Life may find harmony of ac-
tion through that human form to produce perfection, hold Its
Dominion, and spread Its Mighty Radiance everywhere.

 Beloved Mighty Victory
("Voice of the I AM," September1938)
[sEECOLORPTCTURE l0]
The Chart which the Messengers have shows clearly and
powerfully the reason for these Great Laws, why they are true,
and what becomes of mankind's Life when so-called death takes
command of the physical form.
I say to you, Beloved Friends of America, awaken and
understand the Power of your own Lifet You can if you want
to! There is nothing to hold you from it except human con-
cepts! . . .
Unfortunately, people refuse to understand the simplest
of the Laws of Life-that what they sow, they reapl When the
individual sends out destructive feeling, it does not matter from
what cause, he is charging and filling his world with destruc-
tion which will one day destroy his physical body. I tell you,
Friends of America, in no uncertain terms tonight, that the in-
dividual these days who insists on pouring forth destructive feel-
ing will find himself very quickly losing his physical body,
because of the Great Power of the Cosmic Light which is now
releasing-intensifying the power of the energy to act within
the bodies of mankind. Then, too late will they seethe arrogance
and ignorance of the intellect.
The intellect is a wondrous servant when obedient to the
Heart; but taking its accumulation from the appearance world
as the Authority of Life is far from the Truth. Accepting the
intellect's information as the Authority of Life is what has shut
away from humanity all these many centuries the Presence and
Power of Light. No longer will the intellect be able to shut away
from the individual the Power of Light and Its Understanding,
which is within every human Heart.

 THE ASCENSION
BelovedMrs. G. W. Ballard
("Voice of the "I AM,,,a May 1936)

The Students should as often as possibre give conscious

recognition, praise, and thanks for the Attainment of their own
Ascension.
When one awakensin the morning, he can give praise and
thanks that he is one day nearer to his Ascension. He can form
the habit of qualifying all the energy in his being and world
with the victory of his Ascension; for the more recognition he
can give It, the quicker will he attain It.
He can say often, ', ,Mighty I AM presencet'Take com_
plete possession of my being and world- nowlprepare me, and
see that I make my Ascension as soon as possibiet" This will
open the way for greater Assistance to be given him.
All should understand that when one his made his Ascen-
sion, he becomes a wholly perfect Being of such Beauty and
Radiance that all who contact him realize that he is superior
in every way to all o-therbeings. He is no longer subject io ury
of the limitations of the outer world; for he has tt e-rru use of
the Power of Precipitation, can take his body anywhere he
desiresinstantly, transcendstime and space,and is such an out-
pouring of Light, Love, and peace, that all who contact Him
instantly that He is a God Being manifesting Marverous
\"oy
Perfection in every way.
At the moment of the Ascension, the Light from the in_
dividual's own Electronic Body releasesthrough the physicar
flesh body so powerfully that the vibratory actioi of the ptrysicat
is increased to a rate in which no imperfection can ..girr.r.
Then, the discords and imperfections simply melt int"o the
Perfection of the Light, which is the pure substance from the

 individual's own "Mighty I AM presence."
Where the physical body has red blood in the veins, ar the
moment of Ascension, it becomes a Liquid, Golden t,ight,

ing Its Radiance through the flesh until the Rays of G'rcren
Light fill the aura.
The Light within the Heart then begins to expand and in.
tensify until It fills the whole body and pours out to some
distance around the body. The gravity pull of Earth can no
longer affect it; the body rises into the atmosphere and followr
the thought, going instantly wherever the individual desires.
As an airplane propeller, when its speed is increased, gen.
erates enough Power to overcome the gravity pull of Earth, so
does the increase of Light in the flesh body generate the same
kind of Power to lift the body into the atmosphere. The Light
in the body is that Power, and over It nothing on Earth has
control.
It is all so natural, so normal, so majestic, so joyous, so
self-evident, and so satisfactory, that when the Law of Its Ac-
complishment is explained to mankind, there is nothing to
longer resist the Mighty Truth and Law of Life which It ist

THE VICTORY OF THE ASCENSION

BelovedMrs. G. W. Ballard
("Voiceof the I AM,"a March, 1940)

The Ascended Masters have said, regarding the Ascension,

that the Law of Life demands a certain amount of self-effort-or
giving from the physical side of existence. This response
from
the human to the Dhrine is absolutely necessaryzf Their Assist-
ance to the indiuidual is to be released.
That proportion, which is at least one-third of the energy

282 (LessonSeven)
 and substance which Life demands, must come from this
physical world-in order to fulfill the Law of Life's perfection
in the next Octave above the physical.
Many people through the cenruriespast have accomplished
the Victory of the Ascension by tremendous service to Life in
many embodiments; but in the embodiment in which the Vic-
tory was completed, each person was given this exact Ascended
Master Understanding of the Great Creative Words of Life-
"I AM"l
Each one was taught by some Ascended Master in private
before the final work of raising the flesh structure was com-
pleted. Sometimesfor days, weeks,months, or yearsbefore the
completion takes place, the Higher Mental Body and the As-
cended Mastersgiving Their Radiation draw the purified Sub-
stance from the physical flesh structure gradually up into the
Higher Mental Body.
Then, when the final withdrawing of the Light-which is
the Energy of Life in the physical body-takes place, the etheric
body withdraws from the physical body. What remains of the
flesh is but the atomic structure, or chemicalsof Earth in which
the discord of human feeling has registered its qualities. The
etheric body is composedof theftnesf of the physicarsubstance
of Earth, and in it are the records of all earthly experiences
from all embodiments.
When the Ascension takes place, or when one is being
prepared for the Ascension,the discordant conditions which
the outer world calls illnessonly register in the atomic struc-
ture of that individual's body, becausethe AscendedMasters
consume all records of discord from this physical world in the
etheric body of the one who is to accomplish the Ascension.
In casesof illness where the individual is to be given the
Ascension,the AscendedMasters do not allow the discord.of

(LessonSeven) 283
 physical suffering to leave its record in the etheric body; for
They do not allow such a record to be left in the individual's
Life Stream. In raisdnginto the Ascension,all recordsof discord
from all embodiments are foreuer consumedfrom the entire
Life Stream of the person uho is to Ascend. Life only permits
Perfection to exist in the AscendedMasters'Octave, and that
is the next Activity of Life above the human.
When the physical body'is cremated, thefire consumesthe
qualities of discord,which haae been imposed on the flesh, or
earthly substance;but eueryonehas to haue the Assistanceof
the AscendedMasters to consumethe recordsof imperfection
in the etheric body, and that is uhy the Useof the Violet Con-
suming Flamefrom the Higher Mental Body and the Ascended
Masters has been giuen the "I AM" Studentsand mankind, to
help eaeryoneconsurnethe records of all his past mistakes.
Everyoneon Earth who will call to the "Mighty I AM Pres-
ence" and the AscendedMastersto use that Inner, Purifying
Action of the Fire Element, which is the Violet Consuming
Flame, can be set free from all mistakes and distress of this
world. If he will harmonize his feeling and give obedience to
the Law of his own Life, he can have his Ascensionin this em-
bodiment at the close of his otherwise earthly span.
In the caseof Cardinal Bonzano. the work of His Ascen-
sion was completed during the Eucharistic Congressin Chicago,
but the final withdrawing of His Etheric Body did not take place
until somemonths later. Yet He made the Ascension,and that
is the Truth, regardlessof whether ignorant minds understand
this Law or notl
The Inner Work of Mr. Ballard's Ascensionwas completed
in Honolulu in 1936, but His Etheric Body did not withdraw
until December 29, 1939. That is why our Beloved Ascended
Master Saint Germain and the other AscendedMasterssaid so

284 (LessonSeven)
 repeatedlythat His Body was not like the bodiesof the resr of
mankind, eventhough to the appearanceworld He seemed.like
other people.
Becauseignorant, doubting people do not und.erstandthese
Mighty Inner Laws and Activities of Life as the Ascend.ed
Mastersdo, and as They have taught us, doesnot change the
Truth, Reality, Mrghty Cosmic power and Victory of His Ar..rr_
sion and never willt
The Mighty Proof of His Ascension,and the proof of the
Tremendous cosmic Power He now wields is the hundreds and
thousandsof InstantaneousAnswersto the calls of the ,,I AM"
students all over the world-which are being released
everywhere to all who are making those calls in love to Him
and in obedience to Life.
As our Belovedsaint Germain's cosmic
euality is Freedom
to mankind, our BelovedDaddy's cosmic
euality to this Earth
is obedience. His whole Victory of Life, in carrying forth this
Light of the "I AM" for the Freedom of America utta man-
kind, is one mighty keynote of Illumined obedience ro"uHis own
"Mighty I AM Presence"and the AscendedMasters-which
ac-
complished His Eternal Freedom.
so with all the Love and Gratitude of our Life Streams,
we alsopour out our Hearts to our own "Mighty I AM presence"
and to Him in Loving, Illumined Obedience forevert

THE NEW DISPENSATION

Beloved Saint Germain
("Voice of the I AM,,,a December l93g)

Beloved children of the Light, I want you to seeand feel

the Reward which Life has chosento give to certain ind.ividuals

(LessonSeven) 285
 whosestream of Life permits. In all agespast, the Ascension
could only be made by taking the purified physical body into
the Higher Mental Body, as the Messengerhas explained to you.
Through the Intercessionof the Goddessof Light, the God.d.ess
of Liberty and the Mighty Victory-who went to Sanat
Kumara-a Gift of Love is being offered ro the mankind of
Earth.
It mearu this: there will be certain onesamong the Students
for whom, at the time of passing,not orherwisebeing able to
complete the Ascension in this embodiment, the purified
Fssenceof the physical body will be drawn into the etheric body.
In this way they will be permitted to make the Ascensionwhile
the outer structure, the discord of the human form remains here.
That Assistanceis the most magnificent thing ever offered to
mankind by Life.

Beloved Great Divine Director

("Voice of the I AM,',a February 1939)
[sEE COLOR PTCTURE12]
Today, in accepting the vast power and Freedom through
the new Dispensation for your Ascension, I ask you, Beloved
Ones, please do not look upon this idly. Do not think It is just
someone's imagination. It is a reality; and remember, those who
accept our Assistance and do enter into the Ascension will never
in Eternity return to this dense sphere of Earth. They will func-
tion forever in their Purified, Perfected Bodies-as we are d.o-
ing today!
Think of itl This is not said to make you feel bad, but to
make you feel charged with the Current of Energy which is con-
tained in My Words. Some of you were with Me at the time,
so long ago, when I went forward and you chose to give your

286 (LessonSeven)
 attention to the things of the world. Now, once again we meet-
to go forward again together.
The Greatest,the Mightiest of arl the power of und,erstand,-
angis this one point. To think that through so many hundreds
of centuries, you have played with the things of the outer worldt
In My choice to go forward in the perfection which was ours
then, I have gone on into this Great, Glorious Dominion and
Authority ov.erLife, which makesit possiblefor Me to now give
you the Assistancetoday.
Pleasesee what Almighty progress has been mad.e since
those children came to chanand.a'sHome in India with your
Messenger. Think of itt rhere were a few who received that
Great Blessing.Today, thousandsand thousandswithin your
America are being prepared for a similar thingt
Do you not seewhat your cals and what Berovedsaint
Germain has meant to the world in bringing forth this under-
standing of Life which has made all of this possible?Do you
think for one minute, if you had not made the earnest,sincere
call to the Presenceof Life, your "Mighty I AM presence"and
to IJs, that thesethings could have been done? It would have
been impossible,becauseyou would not havemade the necessary
preparationt
While you do not know all you are doing in the outer ac_
tivity of your life, I say it is there; otherwise I would not be here
today, giving you this Opportunity and rendering this Service
which you could scarcelyestimare. The fact is, It ii being d.one,
which showsyou have glven the obedience and preparation for
It. In your Full Acceptance of this, and in noi allowing your
mind or feeling to waver by the suggestions of som-eone's
unbelief, you will hold steadyin this Mighty Blessingand ser-
vice which is offered you-to go forward continuously in that
Mighty Expansion

(LessonSeven) 287
 Thousands among the Students who would otherwise
pass
through the change calred death within five years
will Ascend
into their Eternal Freedomt
I say to all of you who come to that point where you
would
passthrough the change, say to your people
and give the firm
command, that your bodies,or the shelrwhich retains
visibre
of your body, remain on ice
frefrigeration] for three days, then
be cremated, and that no one touch thosebodies
for embalming.
Already in three different instances,thosewho have
_ made
the change, which others, not understanding,
thought was so_
called death, have made the Ascension.In each
instancethere
has not been one particle of Life remaining in
the cels or struc-
ture of the flesh that remained behind-*rri.r, is

evidence of the Truth that they have mad.e the

UNDERSTANDING THE ASCENSION

BelovedMrs. G. W. Ballard
("Voice of the I AM,',@ November l94l)

Beloved "r AM" students and Group LeaderstIt

is quite
imperative that all under this Radiation understand
clearry the
Action of the Fire Element in regard to the Ascension-both
under the old and new Dispensations;and in particular
regard-
ing BelovedJesus',our Beloved Messenger's,
and David I-fryJt
Ascensions.
Under both Dispensations, the purifying of the
atomic
strucrure of the physical body is done by the
use of the Fire
Element' In every Ascension, only the purified
substance of
the physical body can be drawn into the Ascended
Masters,oc-
tave of Life, becauseno impurity can exist
in the Rate of

288 (LessonSeven)
 Vibration which is the Ascended.Masrers' octave
of Lightr
In the Activity of BelovedJesus'Ascension,during the
time
His physical body lay in the tomb, the facurties of "His
outer
consciousness were drawn into His Higher Mental Body; and
from within Its Light and substar.., H. poured the Flame
of
His own Life stream from His Higher Mental Body's
Heart,
Head, and Hands into rhe flesh srructure of His physical
body.
At the same time, the Great Divine Director also po,rred.
the
Flame from His Heart and the Ascended.Master oltave
upon
BelovedJesus'flesh structure.
The Great Divine Director drew the cosmic Ltght Ray from
His octave to clothe Reloved
Jesusin the Flame rt. *u, using
from His own Higher Mental Body. He held It protected
and
undisturbed by the vibratory acrion of the atmJsphere
of this
Earth, until all the Points of Light in the flesh body were
drawn
into His Higher Mental Bod.y.
when this Raisingwascompreted,BelovedJesuscame forth
from the tomb on Easter Morning in His HighJr Mental
Bod.y.
The proof of that is, He said to BelovedMury, ,,Touch Me
not,
for I am not yet Ascendedt"
He lived in His Higher Mental Bod.yuntil the moment
of
His Ascension.when He did Ascend,,the Beloved Great
Divine
Director, the other AscendedMasterswho assisted,together
with
the Angelic Host, projected the Great Ray of Light fiom Their
Octave to enfold BelovedJesus'HigherMental nodv while
He
was Ascending. The Action within the Light Ray was rike
a
Mighty Magnet, clothing the substanceof His Higher
Mental
Body as It rose into Their octave of Light. There-He entered.
into His own Electronic Body of the "Mighty I AM presence,,,
in which He lives forever; and from wntn He still pours
His
cosmic Light Rays to the Earth to d.o for eveiy human
-Gr.eat
being who calls to Him whatever He knows is required.

(LessonSeven) 289
 While BelovedJesus'physical body was in the tomb, the
Flames from His Heart, Head and Hands, which He poured
into it from His Higher Mental Body, dissolvedthe atomic struc-
ture of His flesh body, and returned the substancearound the
Points of Light back into the Universal Substancein the at-
mosphere of Earth.
In our Beloved MessengerMr. Ballard's Ascension,or that
of anyone under this Radiation who accomplishesthe Ascen-
sion under the New Dispensation, the same Activity takes
place-with the exception that the flesh structure which is
cremated is returned into the Universal by the action of the
physical fire. The Forces of the other elements, in a slightly
slower action than that which Beloved Jesus and the Divine
Director used, were purified by His own Life's Flame and the
Cosmic Light Ray which the Great Divine Director used. This
is why BelovedJesussaid, "What I have done, a// men shall
do; and even greater things than these shall ye do!"
In the Ascensionof BlessedDavid Lloyd, the Liquid Light
which was precipitated into the Crystal Cup that came into our
Beloved Messenger'shand was a Concentration of the Electronic
Light Substancefrom our Beloved Messenger'sHigher Mental
Body and Beloved Saint Germain.
When Beloved David Lloyd drank It, the Vibratory Ac-
tion of His flesh body was increasedvery rapidly; and It began
the Activity of drawing the electrons, or Points of Light in His
flesh, up into His Higher Mental Body, as It began to enfold
His physical body.
When the Crystal Cup was offered the secondtime, as soon
asHe drank the Liquid Light Substance,It increasedthe Rate
of Vibration of His flesh body to the speed where the gravity
pull of Earth could no longer affect it; and He began to rise
from the ground as the amount of Electronic Force increased

290 (LessonSeven)
 in the cells of His body. It being an Action of the Fire Element,
It consumed the substance around the Points of Light in His
flesh, and His body began to rise from the Earth by the Power
of His Higher Mental Body. As It increasedIts Light through
His flesh, all records of age and imperfection were consumed,
and the Substanceof His Higher Mental Body and fts Garments
enfolded Him.
The Great Light Rays from the Ascended Masters and
Angelic Host who were assistingHim to Ascend enfolded His
Higher Mental Body, and through Their Greater Power, drew
Him into Their Octave of Light-where He, like BelovedJesus
and Our Beloved Messenger,entered into His own Electronic
Body of the "Mighty I AM Presence"-Eternally Free, and
Master forever over all substance and energy of this worldl
The Vibratory Action of the Electronic Force in David
Lloyd's Higher Mental Body while Ascending and that of an
airplane propeller when its speed is increased are exactly the
same. When the Rate of Vibration in His Body reached a cer-
tain speed, the Body arose and became invisible. When an
airplane propeller's speedreachesa certain rate of vibration,
it becomesinvisible, and the airplane risesinto the air; and when
it goes fast enotigh, becomes invisible to physical sight.
The Action of the Law of Energy and Vibration is the same
in each case,and the solid substanceof the airplane propeller
becomeswholly invisible. So is the Substanceof the Higher Men-
tal Body of everyone while Ascendingl
In the caseof BelovedDavid Lloyd's Ascension,His physical
clothing was so charged with the Flame from His Higher Men-
tal Body that.I/s Substancebecamewholly purified, and there-
fore Self-Luminous to physical sight.
The Ascensionis absolutelyand eternally real, true, prac-
tical, sane,sound, sensible,and balanced; and must be attained

(LessonSeven) 291
sometime, somewhere,by every human being who ever came
into this world or ever will. It is the Law of Lifet It is the True
and Highest worship of God. It is the spiritual Education of
Life and reveals to us the Greater power of Life in the nexr
octave. It must be accomplishedfrom this physical world. It
is the Great Eternal command and Divine plan of Life, and
all mankind together cannot change It. It is the Irrevocable
Fiat of Eternal Perfection for all.

As long as you remain loyal and harmonious to the Great Light,

31, 1939. He was given His Ascensionunder the New Dispen-

the
Ascended Masters' Instruction of the "r AM"-which He gave
under the Direction of our Beloved Ascended Master saint
Germain. He is Glorious beyond word.s to describet His Love
and Light are Limitless, and He pours Them to all for
the
Freedom of America and all mankind..
May the whole world accept and use the Truth He brought
and the Victory He can now give to all who will apply
this
Mighty Law of the "I AM," and be Free foreverl
The attention of the world now will turn to the entire
"I AM" student Body, and because of Beloved Daddy's
Ascen-
sion, there will be the desire in many to know more about
the
Ascension. we ask the "Beloved Mighty I AM" of each one
to
illumine him or her with the Fuil Ascended Masters'
con-
sciousnessand Illumination of this Mighty victory, and
make
everyone know the Full Truth of this Law!
A year ago, the Great Divine Director said a Dispensation
had been given from the Great centrar sun to accomplish
something on this Earth which had never before been done.
It was to withdrau all purified, Essencefrom the physical
struc-
ture and raise it into the Higher Mentar Bod,y, ori thr r:Iigher
Mental Body rise again into the Electronic Bod.y. Through
this
Dispensation, it will permit hundreds of thousands at thi-s
time
to make the Ascension who otherwise wourd have to come back
for another embodiment.
That Dispensation was given to step up the vibratory action
of this planet and to release into the Ascended Masters'octave
a certain group of the individuals from our Earth who are
the
Designers of the civilization which is to come forth here in
the
future. You, the "I AM" students are that Groupt All who
are
intensely sincere, call to the "Mighty I AM presence" for
their
Ascension, make their Application, and call to the Ascended

(LessonSeven) 295
Mastersfor Their Assistance,will be given Assistance-as you
give obedience to the Light and hold your feeling harmonious.
Under the old Dispensation, the individual had to purify
and illumine the atomic structure of the phpical body and raise
it out of the atmosphere of Earth. Becauseof the Onrushing
Action of the Cosmic Light, many are at the stage where they
understand the Law of the "I AM" enough to make the Call;
and the Ascended Masters are ready to give the Assistance;yet
they have not had time enough to draw the Intensity of Light
required into the flesh body-because the Power of Light in
the Calls had to be given and usedfor the Protection of America.
Therefore, they have not had time enough to concentrate their
attention upon the purifying and perfecting of the physical body
beyond a certain point. However, becausethey have rendered
Serviceto the many in America and the world, the Great Law
has given the Dispensation by which they could still attain the
Ascension in this embodimentl .

 BELOVED DAVID LLOYD'S EXPERIENCE
OF THE ASCENSION
(UnaeiledMysteries,Volume I, Chapter 8)

On the morning of the seventh day, I left my lodge at four

o'clock, and reached our meeting place at ten-thirty. I sat down
on a log to wait with a feeling of wonderful exhilaration, which
I knew to be the result of my meditation. I was so deep within
the contemplation of my God Self, I did not hear anyone ap-
proaching until a voice spoke to me.
I looked up, and saw an old man with white hair and
beard, whom I thought at first sight was an old prospector,
although his clothing was too clean for that occupation. As he
came up to me and held out his hand, that too confirmed my
feeling-he was not a laboring man. We exchanged greetings,
chatted for a few moments on generalities; then he turned to
me and said:
"My friend, I would like to tell you a story. It won't take
long. I haven't told it to anyone for a long time. I would like
to try once more."
By that time, I began to have a feeling of intense interest.
It occurred to me he might be thirsty; and as I reached for a
cup to get him a drink from the spring by which we stood, a
Crystal Cup formed within my hand-like the one Saint
Germain had held out to me several times. The old man looked
up, and with eyes riii.ri.rg and excited, almost shouted.,
"It is he! It is het"
I did not know what to do, so I insisted he drink. As I
looked within the Cup, I saw It was filled with the same Clear,
Sparkling Liquid the Master had given me. The old man
grasped It eagerly, and with an intense expression of the deepesr

298 (LessonSeven)
gratitude I have ever seen, drank the contents. He immediately
became very calm and quiet, but with it all a deep, intense sin-
cerity. I asked him again to tell me the story, and he began
by saying:
"My father was a British officer stationed in the Punjab
of India, where we made our home. When I was sixteen, he
financed a friend who went to South Africa to try his luck in
the diamond mines, but my father never heard from him
afterward.
"The year I was twenty, a tall, handsome stranger, a man
of great Wisdom, visited my father at our home. He had come to
bring a message from Father's friend.
" 'I bring you news,' He explained, 'from the friend whom
you financed four years ago. He met with great successon that
venture-in fact, became very wealthy. He has recently passed
on at the mines, and left no relatives. His entire fortune has
been left to you; and in case of your passing, it is to go to your
son. If you desire, I will take charge of the matter and have
it transferred at once.'
" 'I cannot leave India at the present time,' my father
replied, 'for I am on government duty here. I appreciate greatly
your offer to take care of the matter for me.' I was standing
nearby during their conversation, and when they had completed
arrangements, the Stranger turned to me.
" 'My son,'He said, 'when you find the man who will offer
you a Crystal Cup of Sparkling Liquid, you will have met the
one who can assist you in raising the body. I cannot tell you
more than this, except that you will find him on a great moun-
tain in North America. This may seem vague to you now, but
it is all I can say.'
"The Stranger left; and a month later, my father, who had
ridden out to adjust certain government matters with the

(LessonSeven) 299
 natives, was shot, and passedon before he could
be brought
home. I wasan only son, and after another month,
mother and
I prepared for our return to England. before
Just we left, the
same Stranger came again, and said HL was ready
to transfer
Father's fortune to me. I explained Father had
ieen shot.
" 'Yes,'the stranger replied, 'when I
left two months ago,
I knew your father would passon before my return.
I have ar-
ranged for the fortune to be transferred to you,
or rather to
the Bank of England for you. Here is money you
may wish to
use on the journey home-also the papers of transfer
and the
credentialsyou will need at the bank. present them,
and you
will receivecustodyof your wealth. Much of it is in
diamonds
of the first quality.' I thanked Him and offered.to pay
for His
services,but He replied:
" 'Your kind intent is greatly appreciated,
but that is
already adjusted. I will be happy ro accompany
you to the
steamerat Bombay.'
"The trip revearedto me His Great wisdom,
- and beside
Him I felt like an infant. I know now that He
enveloped me
in a Radiation which has stayedwith me throughout
th. y.urr.
He arranged for transportation, accompaniedus
to the boat,
and His last Words to me were:
"'Remember-the ,,CrystalC.rp." Seek,
and you shall
find.'
"After a most wonderful voyage,we arrived
at Southamp_
ton, went on to London, and presentedmy credentials
to the
Bank of England. The official to whom I presented
them
remarked, " 'Yes,we were expecting you today.
Here are your
bank and check books.'
"I looked at them to seehow much my fortune
amounted.

been placed to my credit. Five years later my

 on. I transferred one-half of my wealth to a bank in New york
and began the search for 'the man with the Crystal Cup.'
"I can never repeat the disappointments, the trials, the sor-
row I have been through; but in the face of everything, somehow
I could never give up. The thing which seemsso strange to me
is, while I have grown old in outer appearanc€,ry energyand
strength are as great as ever-sometimes I think greater than
in my fullest youth.
"In years,I am seventy.Today I just wanted to follow this
trail, and praise God, I have found you. My desirewas so great
it was almost irresistible."
"But my good man," I asked, "what am I to do for you?"
"You will know," he replied, "for I know I have made no
mistake. In the Heart of this majestic mountain is a Great
Power. I feel It. Ask God to show you what to do.,'
Sudd.enly I felt the Mighty God power surging forth so
strong It almost lifted me from the ground. Making the sign
Saint Germain had taught me, I called to God for Light, and
raising my hand in salutation said:
"Mighty God in man and the UniverselWe seekThy Lightt
We seek Thy Wisdomt We seek Thy Powert Let Thy Will be
done in and for this my Brother-who has sought and found
me to do for him I know not what. Thou knowestt Manifest
Thy Will through my mind and body, and let whatever is to
be done for this Brother-Thy Son-come fortht"
As my hand came down, it held the Crystal Cup filled with
Living Liquid Light. I offered it to him, and my Mighty God
Self spoke again.
"Drink without fear. Thy search is ended.',
He drank the contents without a moment's hesitation. I
steppedforward quickly and took both his hands in mine. Slowly
and steadily, every vestige of age disappeared from him, and
