| Notes | From rear cover: 'When shadows cross your path, remember they are but shadows, not reality. When clouds obscure the sun, remember they are but clouds. When beset by trial and difficulty, remember these are but birds of passage that will continue their flight when they have rested for a short while. The knowledge that you all possess is more priceless than all the treasures of the world of matter. We do not bring you gold or silver, diamonds or precious jewels. Rather do we seek to bring the priceless jewels of the spirit, the greatest treasures that you can have. Prize them. Put them in a setting of love and realise that these are the gifts the Great Spirit bestows on you with loving care and divine affection. Look up always, not down. Realise that the mighty and majestic power which brought you into being and breathed into you the life-giving essence of its own spirit will uphold and sustain you day by day. Difficulties, obstacles, handicaps - these are the trials of the soul. And when it conquers them all, it rises stronger, more purified, deepened in intensity and more highly evolved. Do you think that the latent powers of the soul, infinite in their possibilities of expression, could realise themselves without difficulty and pain, without shadow, without sorrow, and without suffering and misery? Of course not. The joy and the laughter can only be enjoyed to the full when once you have drained the cup of sorrow to the dregs, for as low as you can fall in the scale of life so correspondingly you can rise. The more you have tasted and experienced that which seems the shadow of earthly life, the more you will appreciate, because of it, the greater joys of the sunshine. All the experiences of human life are part of the great scheme. Those experiences which you like least of all - the sadness, the bitterness, the tears, the disappointments, the suffering and the pain - these are very valuable for your souls. But you cannot realise that at the time. It is only when you can look back on the whole and not judge by the part, that you can get a clear picture of the values of life. Through all you adversities the character is tried. Through tears and sorrow the soul is strengthened. |
