-- . r - -----------------------------------W e recognize Thee O Sacred Presence; we

know that Thou art our solace and our stay.—Every-huiir _and~~minute we should manifest

Thy W ill in word and deed. Our souls are awakened by the Voice o f the Living God

within. Let the sweet cadence o f the Spirit Voice be heard above the din and strife of

mortal sense. Come ye heavenly hosts abide with us and with promptings true guide o’er

the dark and gruesome days. The Light o f the

Spirit illumines the night and immortal joys await us. “M y people are thy people,” saith

the Lord, so be it that thou should forsake

them not.

Blessed is Knowledge!Blessed is he who knows Truph!Thrice blessed is he who knows he knows!

And all blessed is he who knows he knows,

and is filled w ith Holy Love, and fills with

love the heart o f his brother who sees him,

hears or reads his teachings.Such a holy one spreads eternal Love,

Light, L ife, Truth, Peace and Bliss throughout

the world, aye, throughout the universe, for

he iB an eternal and universal teacher.Such a holy one never founds" a sect, but

stands out in his own pure light in all sects,

all religions.

The influence o f a holy man never ceases;

indeed, it increases from age to age.A Buddha, a Jesus, lives and grows forever

in the souls, hearts and minds o f men.These blessed Elder Brothers o f Love and

Compassion who come into perfect oneness with the Omniscient One teach the world how

to love and how to live, because they have through spiritual growth and unfoldment— through perfect love—become all-knowing men,

and know they know—the simple Truth.And they teach man that his goal is omni

science— to know that knowing which all is

known.These blessed Sons o f God teach that

through perfect love for the A ll we will come

into consciousness o f our oneness with God, the Omniscient One, and will know A ll; that man cannot reach freedom until he becomes Christed.

No man can act and live in true love and true justioe to his brothers (all men, all be ings) until he knows, through fervent and con stantly growing love for a ll; he must hold as his eternal theme the bringing about o f the universal and eternal Fatherhood of God and the universal and eternal Brotherhood o f man.

The blessed truth, or knowledge, that comes to the fervent and constant God-lover is: “ That which exists is One;” God is the A ll in A ll; Wc are all eternal children o f One Eter nal All-Father-Mother, ever moving onward,

forward and upward to one goal—All-knowl edge or Omniscience and infinite perfection.

This is that blessed truth knowing which all is known and through which we can only reach the blessed state o f Eternal Peace, Force, Power and Bliss—the superconscious

state.

The nearer omniscience a man is the greater

and wider is his love, and the greater his force

and power to render great and lasting help

to A ll.The more o f truth a man knows the more

he does his duty to his brother, and the more

| he can teach others to live in pure and holy

relations with their brothers, with the world and the universe.

The underlying principal truth o f all great

and lasting works is Truth itself; love, truth and knowledge (universal knowledge learned in

the University o f the individual soul) carry man to God and make him an eternal co-

worker with God.Sheer Truth will overcome all the petty and

false schemes o f life ; w ill teach us that each

being is an eternal child o f the eternal God; that no one is without redeeming virtue; that each has his own character, determined by what point on the Path o f Eternal Evolution

he is— in what degree of evolution he is work

ing.

W hat a great blessing it is for a man to know that he knows—that each ego, and all egos, are pressing on and evolving, by Divine Law, to one eternal radiant Centre— God.

W ith such blessed knowledge God becomes God, and all apparent confusion among men ceases; order comes out o f chaos and disorder,

and a perfect, orderly, eternal Plan is discov ered and all discordant notes in the grand

Symphony o f L ife are found to be only tem porary and incidental discords to the later Grand Performance—the Grand Harmony— which is to come in a while, after we all get through practicing and rehearsing.

The language of the Soul, as it comes through mortal, carnal or finite mind, is more or less weak and powerless to express the truth about God and our blessed Universe.

A holy man (a whole man) never spoke or wrote a word in which he did not put all his heart, all his soul and all his mind; the great God-lover breathes only Love.

The great God-lover who comes to oneness with the Omniscient One is always full o f his theme— LOVE, universal and eternal love.

The glory and love of his God iB so great that it covers all things; from the smallest atom to the greatest and most distant stars (suns), and from the one cell organism to com plex man, and the bright angels, and the arch

angels, and the seraphim—all are covered with

the glory and love o f God.

So immeasurable is the glory and love o f the All-Father-Mother that there is no place, no space, no being, no thing that it toucheth

not.Knowing and living this grand truth the

holy seers and sages and prophets come to

know that God is really the A ll in All, and that A ll is good; no great Master ever lived,

or ever w ill live, who did not or will not teach and live non-resistance o f “evil,” and by so living will have the great and mighty power

I of God within him, and will, in a while, over come all evil; sooner or later, the Christ-truth

about non-resistance w ill bring the Kingdom on earth; here and now is the place and time

for the Kingdom to be established.

The blessed Christ liveth for ever and ever

and never faileth; it is only the finite sees the Infinite as finite; only the impotent and weak and ignorant who see God as impotent and not omnipotent; only the closed, cramped and una

wakened minds who say omniscience for man is impossible— that man cannot, is not, to CQgir,

prehend God; it is only the bound and earth- attached mind that says man will not reach angelhood here and now and by his psychic or soul powers be practically omnipresent.

Man creates a mental picture o f God, and these concepts o f God are just as many as there are men; a man can never rise superior

to his concepts of God.So, our knowledge of God (Love, Truth,

Light and L ife ) determines exactly our knowl

edge o f life, and places us on the exact plane o f action, in this eternal Life and Evolution, where we belong: An angry, ignorant andblundering man has an angry and ignorant or blundering God; a good and wise man has a good and wise God; a seer, sage, an adept, has an all-powerful God, an omnipotent God; a Buddha, a Jesus or any truly Christed-man has a great God of only Love, Mercy, Peace, Om nipresence, Omniscience and Omnipotence.

I t is scientifically true as well as spiritually true that as man really knows God, and is freed from the illusions o f Dualism, Dogma and Tradition, to that very extent he is healthful, strong, peaceful, forceful, purpose ful, blissful, progressive and prosperous.

Each age recognizes and realizes a greater and better God, so each age is more blessed in progress, prosperity and happiness; has less o f the poison o f doubt, fear, pessimism and fanaticism. This is the eternal Law o f Evolu tion— o f improvement and progress.

True, there appears to be much o f cruelty, harshness and injustice in the World, born o f •ignoranoe, selfishness, fear, doubt, pessimism and fanaticism, but it is nothing compared to

Through the pain and self-denials O f oar lives and daily tasks;

W e are building as we onward, Travel op the winds to Light;

W e are sowing here a harvest.That we reaj^sith all our might.

W e are wemWg, winding, upward. To heav* ' y glorious heights.

W e are eaarang there a shadow,And are placing here a light;

We are building, broader, grander For the soul’s immortal flight.

So let peace and joy be foremost, W ith a willing heart to do,

Let each thought, motive, action, Bear the Spirit’s impress, true.

CHARITY“ Every good act is charity; your smiling in your brother’s

face is charity ; an exhortation of your fellow-man to virtuous

deeds is equal to alms-giving; your putting a wanderer in the

right road is charity; your assisting the blind is charity ; your

removing stones and thorns and other obstructions from the

road is charity; your giving water to the thirsty is charity.

A man’s true wealth hereafter is the good that he does in this

world to his fellow-man.”

T H E EVO LU TIO N OF A GOD.

In the fo llow ing article there are thought]

presented that have not been taught before!

that I am aware of. A s the plan was evolved]

through m y consciousness it gave the impres

sion that i t was truth. I t told a story from

beginning to end, w ithout any missing links,

and i t brought a feeling o f jo y and a con

sciousness o f power such as 1 had never known

before.

God is the sum tota l o f 'a l l there is, acting

as a single intelligence, and having inherent

within itse lf the powers o f involution and

evolution. Evolution is organization. Involu

tion is disorganization.

The ego is an immortal, self-existent part,

a perfect miniature o f the whole. So that

God’s involution is the involution o f the ego

into ‘ ‘ lire mist.” U is evolution is the evolu

tion o f the ego back to individuality. Human

intelligence must conceive o f a starting point,

so science accepts the atom as that pointJ

A ll atoms o f one ego belong to each other, by

the law o f their affinity. And a ll atomet have

two powers; that is, attraction and vibration.

A ttraction in its highest form is soul, and

vibration is known to us as energy or force.

A ll atoms are o f equal power, but when

tw o atoms in affin ity are drawn into cohesion

a prim itive organization is formed and the

power o f the atom is doubled. Now , the or

ganization is strong and attracts to itself an

atom not in affin ity w ith itself. Here discord

arises and discord is death to the organization.

So the atoms disorganize to reorganize on a

higher plane. For they retain the power they

have gained.

This is the first death and the first mani

festation o f unlove.

Even here the organization had nothing only

what it attracted to itself. I f i t had been

all-wise it would not have attracted the third

atom, but what not to do had to be learned

by experience.

When these atoms reorganize, w ith others

ci their own that ate o f a lower rate o f v i

bration, we have a complex organization. As

the. complexity increases the organization does

not die immediately, but building and tearing

down is going on in the same organism. W e

begin to die as soon as we begin to live, and

the whole must disorganize some time unless

n change can be made.

When some rates o f vibration have so in

creased os to be invisible to the eye the soul

is formed; but bear in mind it is still the

same organization. A t some point (and the

human soul is undoubtedly that point) part

o f the organization lias reached perfection.

That is, through experience it has learned all

wisdom. Never more w ill i t attract that

which is not its own, consequently i t w ill not disorganize any more unless it does so

at w ill. This is the spirit. Here is what we

recognize as im m ortality, and here is perfect

love, perfect wisdom, perfect power. This is

the God o f the conscious man.Just as the seed o f the plant containing the

most highly evolved part o f the plant that is visible to the eye, is the lost to disintegrate,

and beoomes the source o f reorganization of plant, the higher parts having passed on, so

the soul ity the last o f the perishable, invisible

organization to disintegrate, and the rate o f

vibration i t has attained is the prophecy o f

its next organization. This is the karma o f

the Buddhist, and the “ Destiny that shapes

our end,” o f which the poet tells us; and

from these facts arises the doctrine o f “ the

reincarnation o f the soul” and “ the resurrec

tion o f the body.” Our glimpses into this

soul realm is where we get our psychic phe

nomena.

W ith the ordinary individual this higher,

immortal self merely shines down upon him,

as it were, entering but little into his con

scious life, because o f his non-recognition o f

its presence. But when the w hole organization

comes to that plane where the person feels

this higher presence as part o f himself there

is a new birth. A conscious God is bom on

earth. He has gone through the mineral, veg

etable and animal kingdoms, has been through

the period o f manhood, and now the infancy

o f godhood has begun.

The practical reader exclaims, “ Yes, this is

very pretty and very interesting, but o f what

use is it to me?”“ Knowledge is power,” and man’s highest

power must come from knowing the law of

his being. Here is one o f the practical things I

that this knowing w ill lead up to.You w ill agree that to know it and to live

it would be more than could be valued in

gold and silver. I t would be the announce

ment that the God was becoming powerful in

the flesh.Would you know how to live in perfect har

mony with the world? Would you avoid the

discords and' bickerings w ith your fellows,

which really bring more o f annoyance and pain

than any other cause? Would you avoid per

secution? W ould you realize so much o f

peace that you could lay down and sleep se

curely, although surrounded by savages? Then

listen 1 The w ay is simple i f you w ill but

heed.Recognize not evil.

“ Oh,” you say, “ Mr. A . is doing bad things

all the time. How can I help recognizing a

fact when I see it? ”Yes, Mr. A . is living on a low intellectual

plane, and you are aware o f it. Here is the

way you w ill regard him; you w ill say to

him, “ M y friend, you are all right. You are a creature o f evolution and are manifesting just

as much good as your present organization

can recognize. I regard a ll your acts with the

tolerance w ith which a mother would regard

her young child. More than that, I know there

' is a higher self in you. You could not be

human i f i t were otherwise. There are rates

o f vibration o f which you are not conscious.

I am conscious o f them and I w ill hold to the

recognition o f them for you.”

I f you live this all the time Mr. A . w ill

present to you the possibilities o f his higher

nature. But don’t wait until a burglar enters

your house before you begin to practice it.

Here i& the philosophy o f what takes place.

Man ranging horn body to spirit, presents

many different rates o f vibration. W e w ill

compare him to a musical instrument o f many

tones; you can get any tone from the instru

ment that it is capable o f producing. But i f

you strike “ C” a ll the time it w ill be to you

as though no other tone was possible. W e will

suppose you want “G” vibrations. Then don’t

strike “ C.” That’s all. Simple enough, isn’t

it? Of course, you knew “ C” was there, but

yoif were not interested in it ; you were inter

ested only in “ G.” The recognition you hold

the man in is the key you strike.

Now go one step farther. Mr. A . is accus

tomed to recognizing only “ C” vibrations both

in himself and in you. He is conscious o f

nothing else. He w ill strike “ C” and it w ill

be natural for you to respond to his recogni

tion.

But no. You know more o f the law. I f

you are sending higher vibrations, his w ill

never reaches you, yours being stronger.

Would you like more evidence than logic? Then turn to history fo r a corroboration in

actual experience. How think you W illiam

Penn and his peaceful friends lived fo r sev

enty years with the Indians o f Pennsylvania,

holding the love o f those crude savages all

the while?

Look a t Thomas Paine. When he, by the light o f the spirit, saw and wrote the future

o f the United States, he sounded a high note

o f vibration, and was useful, beloved and hon

ored. That work taight be called the fire that

relighted the tgrch o f liberty, which the pes simism th a t^ ro se from hardships had well-

nigh extinguished. Look at him again. He

goes to Stance, and becoming imbued with

6 Th b Myst ic Maqazins

thought of a lower rate o f vibration, lid wrote the “Age o f Reason.” Did it tear down evil ?

Not a bit o f it. What did it doT I t brought scorn and persecution upon him and degrada

tion and death upon his body.W alt Whitman was one of the noblest souls

that ever trod this planet. He understood this law and taught it. 'But when the country was torn by strife he went upon the battle-1 field, engaged in his work o f mercy. But he almost naturally fell into the vibration o f the spirit o f conflict, and sang of it. For this ho

spent years o f pain and poverty.And so it has always been with the world’s

teachers and reformers. When they fought 'e v il they were crushed by it, and it was only

because they lived and proclaimed Good that they became great.

“ I say unto you that ye resist not evil” was certainly one of the wisest rules laid down for man’s benefit.—E. H. H. in Freedom.

THE RIGHTEOUS MAN.

There are times in the life o f every man

who takes his stand on high moral principles when his faith in, and knowledge of, those principles is tested to the uttermost and the

way in which he comes out o f the fiery trial decides as to whether he has sufficient strength to live as a man of Truth, and join the com pany o f the free, or shall still remain a slave

failure, and poverty, and shame, and disgrace. As the poet further says o f this Law—

“The heart o f i t is Love, the end o f it“ Is peace and consummation sweet—obey.”

The man who, fearing the loss o f present pleasures or material comforts, denies the Truth within him, con be injured, and robbed, and degraded, and trampled upon, because he has first injured, and robbed, and degraded, and trampled upon his own nobler self; but the man of steadfast virtue, o f unblemished integrity, cannot be subject to such conditions because he has denied the craven self within

him and has taken refuge in the Truth. I t isi not the scourge and the chains which make a man a slave, but the fact that heais a slave.

Slander, accusation and malice cannot a f fect the righteous man, nor call from him any bitter response, nor does he need to go about to defend himself and prove his innocence. His innocence and integrity alone are a sufficient answer to all that hatred may attempt against

him. Nor can he ever be subdued by the forces o f darkness, having subdued by those forces within himself; but he turns all evil

things to good account—out o f the darkness he brings light, out o f hatred love, out of dishonor honor; and slanders, envies and mis-1 representations only serve to make more

bright the jewel o f Truth within him, and to glorify his high and holy destiny.

Let the man o f Truth rejoice and be gladand tk hireling to the cruel taskmaster, Self.Such times o f trial generally assume the I when he is severely tried; let him be thank-

form o f a temptation to do a wrong thing ful that he has been given an opportunity of and continue in comfort and prosperity, or to I proving his loyalty to the noble principles

stand by what is right and accept proverty which he has espoused; and let him think—and failure, and so powerful is the trial that, ‘Now is the hour o f holy opportunity! Now to the tempted one, it plainly appears on the is the day o f triumph for Truth! Though Iface o f things as though i f he chooses the 1 lose the whole world I will not desert the

wrong his material success will be assured for right!” So thinking, he will return good for the remainder o f his life, but i f he does what evil, and will think compassionately o f the

wrong-doer.

The slanderer, the back-biter and the wrong doer may seem to succeed for a time,* but the Law of Justice prevails; the man o f integrity may seem to fa il for a time, but he is invin cible, and in none of the world, visible or in visible, can there be forged a weapon that shall prevail against him.—James Allen.

FROM THE SILENCE.

“ Be Y e Perfect.”

Matt. 5 :48.

The soul that would perfected be and holy Must ever dwell in consciousness o f God*

Yielding its little w ill unto his w holly,"

Be free from* all desires o f the sod,Must fill its cup of life to overflowing

W ith love for every creature great and small, Giving as doth the sun in its bestowing,

That freely gives its light and warmth to all. I t must remember from the Mount o f Vision

To bring its inspiration to the vale.Be ever mindful o f its heavenly mission,

To speak the word o f life, that cannot fail. Abide so' near the fount o f life most holy,

It will absorb and shed abroad its glory.Lura Brower.

THE LAW OF FINANCIAL SUCCESS

Bt e d w a k d e . b e a u

What the most o f u want is all round success, but we must remember that no one can be an all round success without FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE. 5o matter how much good a person may want to do, he is handicapped by a lack o f money. A ll the air-castles he has built; all the beautiful plans be has created; all the cherished desires to do good go unfulfilled because there is no money to complete them.

But these air-castles can become real buildings; these plans can become realities: these great desires can be lnU> filled. The question is, "How to do i t f "

The writer has placed this information in the book, " T h e L a w o p F in a n c ia l Suc c e s s .” In it be states the LAW. shows bow to get in harmony with it, and then gives specific Instructions for keeping in the closest possible touch with the powers that be in the WORLD OF FINANCE. I t is no magic potion to be swallowed with wonderful re sults, but ie a plain stating o f the LAW , so that all who ran may read and THEN ACT. And he who act# w ill win suc cess, because he is following the LAW that has been laid down from time immemorial.

T h e Mys t ic Mag az ine TThe Eternal and Universal Brotherhood of Mystics

We ask you, dear brother or sister to come into fellowship with 11s. A ll are our brothers and sisters and no matter what your religion is, whether you are an agnostic, a

sceptic, or an atheist, or what your nationality is, we know you are an eternal child of God, and an eternal brother or sister, and we want to have you join our blessed) Brotherhood, and come into the radiant Light of Universal Truth and Love. W e can help you, in the work o f The Eternal and Universal Brotherhood of Mystics, to gain Peace,

Power, Harmony and Perfect Health of Mind and Body.

The Twelve Degrees o f this blessed Mystic Order are very simple and easily compre

hended. Working these degrees alone in your own home during leisure hours is a blessed work, and is inspiring and uplifting. I t w ill give you great peace, strength and power.

The requirements for membership are:

(1) The study of The Mystic Text Book, it being the official and authorized text book >f the Order. The price o f The Mystic Text Book is one dollar, and the profits on same

help to pay the expenses o f the Brotherhood and our work which amounts to a consider

able sum.

So, beloved, to have your name entered on the Eternal Sacred Roll o f the Brotherhood and receive the Twelve Degrees, (one sent every thirty days), you are required to order

The Mystic Text Book and send One Dollar to help pay expense o f mailing, etc., $2.00 in

all. I f you already have a copy o f The Mystic Text Book then you need send only $1.00.Great blessings have come to members o f our Brotherhood and it is a blessed privilege

you have of coming into this order.

. Know the Great Power there is in being one of a band of Aspiring and Powerful Souls

with but one aspiration, one ideal,—of bringing into the world more love, more peace, more good w ill, more wisdom, more tolerance, more freedom, more progress, more health, and

more success.

The work of the Brotherhood will do for you that which i t has done for hundreds o f

others, and you will receive the indescribable joy and blessings o f living the Mystic life,

which is the life of Peace, Harmony and Melody.

Father that is all Love and tenderly merciful

to all o f His children.

"Let the thought come to every one o f us

that we are commended to a sinless life, and by that is meant that we are to put ourselves in right relations to the universe, to truth, and to mankind; for sinlessness is just that. Let us go to work to bring it to pass that there

shall be no evil in the world which we can prevent, whether it be evil in our own hearts, in the streets of our city, or in the lanes and highways o f our country. That is a task

beside which the picking o f oakum and the stepping on the treadmill is the mere task of

a child. For we cannot go on promising to the

men o f our day and generation a heaven be yond the sky, or threaten them with a hell

beyond this life, while we make no effort to :reate a heaven here on earth and while we

let hells burn with all their fires in our very

midst. Sinlessness in our own lives, sinless- ness in all other lives, through the mighty power o f our own transformation—this is the

work that Christ has set us to do.”

Clairvoyants see what others cannot, and the proof that they do see the so-called “un seen” is that in all ages and all places men

and women of the highest purity and repute) have uniformly seen exactly the same things.)

And mark this, these clear-seeing seers have

in nd wise been active in trying to make any one believe what they saw. A real Seer only[ suggests, in love, how others can come in union or at-one-ment with God, knowing that all

will, sooner or later, under the Divine Law of Evolution, come into oneness and have the power o f clear-seeing and dear-hearing—the power to see and hear angelB. By spiritual

growth we get these psychic powers in their highest degrees and ini no other wav.

nition and realization o f our eternal oneness

with the All.

W e have bliss and eternal Freedom when we cease to “bicker,” "argue,” criticise, censure,

judge and condemn— when we love all with

such universal love that we have no inclina

t io n nor desire to meddle with their God-given

right to think, reason and act as they please.

_|Let today open our minds to new views,!

new methods, new friends, and new thought; this is the way to progress, prosperity and

happiness. A man who is afraid o f a new idea does not cut much figure as a factor In

the growth, expansion and progress o f these blessed days.

Death is only change— always for the bet

ter; the soul is eternally progressive. A t the I poor thinking, passing from the body we do not cease our activities. That religion that does not mini mize or destroy our fear o f death is false.

Spiritualism is doing a grand work in demon strating to men that at the transition called “ death” the soul merely passes on to a new and higher and brighter plane o f action in

the Spirit World.

Great seers, sages and prophets in all ages conversed with spirits and angels. Today, more than ever, “ clairvoyants and dairaudi- ents under certain conditions see and converse with those dwellers that tread the evergreen)
