Vol. 5 No. 37 - Paul the Venetian - September 14, 1962

     O, wondrous dawn of Beauty and Peace spreading o'er the world from the fountain of the Infinite! How roseate is Thy majesty, the magnificence of Love touching from the Greater World, the Higher Reality, the Aureole of Light within each heart! Let the floodgates of Heaven's mighty tide be opened; let the dams of human constructions of men's hardened hearts break before the mounting pressures of Life calling for a harvest of Souls!

     How long, blessed people, do you think Almighty God has waited to see the arrogance of proud spirits bow down to acknowledge His wonder within themselves. They do not concede or know His Nature and it is frequently as though they resent the helpfulness of His hands, and yet He continues to minister to as much of their need as they will receive!

     Years ago, when entertaining the Blessed Being known as the Goddess of Liberty Who dedicated My humble Chateau for God, She said to Me when taking Her leave, "One day the service We do will be appreciated by many more than at present among mankind. It is like the worth of your paintings, Beloved Brother Paul, when you were embodied as Paolo Veronese, they had little value by comparison to their worth today. It is as though a man's true worth is perceived after his passing from the screen of life and yet-because We do not pass-We must continually serve the needs of mankind and can never accept or be conditioned by their thoughts.

     "One day they will all be happy to be conditioned by the greatness of their own Spiritual Nature and will seek it with renewed ardor. We can never enjoy Nirvana and the full peace of Heaven until Our Brothers of the lost sheep are safely nestled within the Mighty protection of the Father's Heart. Our Service to the Earth must continue and We must prepare many to follow in Our footsteps so that when the Great Law of Initiation speaks unto Us, 'Come higher,' others will be ready to take Our place in raising their brothers. You will find no difficulty, My Brother, in having people appreciate Your service of Love but to find one whose heart's chalice can compare with Your own is yet another thing."

     These intimate words have stirred and inspired Me in those quiet times when, not showing loving souls through My Retreat, I have contemplated the richness of Universal Love which has freed Me from a body prison and kept within Me the Immortal Blessing of a Living Consciousness, of a breathing awareness of the transcendence of Spiritual Life. When you, too, arrive as I did in the Octaves of Light you will be ever grateful for each rosebud of Love and Truth which you have garnered and nourished upon Earth. You will know that the miracle of seeing God in Man and Nature is a wonderful preparation for expanding your Spiritual Light as you rise to Our treasured Octave.

     Men have thought of the Ascension as the attainment of all, and surely it is the brave beginning of Victory, the reward of faithful service and the fullness of God's gift to man; but wondrous though it may be, It is but a step on the Infinite ladder of Cosmic Love and Opportunity for service. I want to nurture within you, Beloved Ones of the Eternal Path, the need to fulfill your simple day-to-day destiny and that well! "How can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Well, Dear Ones, I will tell you: Simply because a very wonderful gift was first put into Nazareth!

     If men do not get out of Life what they want it is truly because they did not put into it what they wanted. It is never too late, as long as there is Life there is Hope. The fairest flower-whether in bud or the fullness of bloom-bears the perfumed essence of Immortality. Within the scattered seed is a perennial satisfaction, Creation rising from Creation in crescendos of loveliness. To be any part of this glory of Life is wonderful. Each year thousands upon your planet exit from Life by opening themselves to the despondent vibrations of the suicide entity. Opportunity to aid these people may be forthcoming ere long, and wonderful ways of binding up the wounds of the world are being promulgated in Our Councils.

     Let Us all together now express Our gratitude for all that Life can bring: for satisfactions hidden and revealed, for harvest, and season, for flower and fruit, for hope and fulfillment, and above all let Us keep saturated with the essence of that LIGHT which never fails in seed-time, harvest-time, winter or summer to meet the many needs of all in Our Octave and yours, and as ladder steps rises here and there revealing a glimpse of that priceless glory and beauty which shall yet be!

     Your Brother's Keeper-

PAUL THE VENETIAN
