Vol. 6 No. 34 - Beloved Sophia, Goddess of Wisdom - August 23, 1963

     Wisdom is justified by Her children. Think ye, O, mankind, that the mark of CAIN would ever have been placed upon the brow of Man had Love held sway over vanity and envy? Think how Love, as a feeling of Infinite, all-encompassing Wisdom, enfolds the Sons who guard against the intrusion of every repulsive human vice. How ridiculous was the first vibratory sensation of hatred between man and man. All were born of the same Flame, entertained the same hope, and had the self-same glorious Opportunity of spiritual unfoldment. However, the contagion of mental and emotional disease is very great, and one person of discord infected thousands until, like a wildfire across the prairie, the sea of humanity roared in dissension as a wilderness of fear and frustration.

     " ... He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." (John 8: 7) IMMORTAL WORDS, rendering complex karmic matters wholly simple and stopping the attitude of human viciousness and condemnation. How unfortunate it is that the balance of human reason is not endowed with more understanding! To the present hour, in the name of religion and Faith, men retain hatreds of those who are as Just or even purer than themselves. Like carrion crows they hover to devour those they ought to love and, making merchandise of one another's woes, they flood the courts of the world with the most unholy forms of spiritual treason.

     Of what value is Wisdom unless It pierce the gloom of error and blaze forth through the limiting density of human consciousness that Holy Compassion which heals the crooked limbs of men's vanity and enables them to walk the Path of Virtue? Wisdom is not intended to exalt the ego or set brother over brother; Wisdom is not intended to make men masters over other men. Wisdom is, pure and simple, a Beacon pointing the way to the fruits of fulfillment.

     Men pursue Wisdom in order to attain advantage, to be thought wise and out of avid curiosity about Life, but the "pure in heart" see Wisdom as a means to find their Great Divine Source. All pursuit of knowledge ought to swallow up lesser aims, else knowledge becomes a canker, eating away the fabric of Selfhood and destroying that which loving Wisdom exists to preserve. In no ivory-towered citadel of self-glorification, but upon bowed knees of humility, the Initiate worships at the mighty Fountain of Theo-Sophia, striving to wash away the dust of the road and experience a baptism of Divine Grace.

     As one chosen to conclude the Mighty releases of the Ladies of Heaven speaking in this series of Letters, I wish to close with an affirmation of delight that may be retained by you throughout your life, helping you on to greater understanding and Victory:

     Come all who love Life,
Drink deep at Wisdom's fount;
But let your draught be utilized
In climbing Victory's mount.
 

     Come all who love Life,
Seek Holy Wisdom pure;
Let sweet attunement with God alone
Make everyone secure.
 

     Come, all who love Life
Cast off all vanity;
With hands of gentle grace stretched out
Let every man be Free.

     To hasten your Christhood, My Blessing I bestow,

SOPHIA (Goddess of Wisdom)
