 DEFINITION

Philosophy has been defined as the rove of

wisdom.
A systematicgeneralconceptionof principle as
appliedto
a_philosophyof life. The knowledge of the
causeof all
phenomenaboth of mind and matter.
cosmic philosophy embracesthe universe conceived
as an orderly and harmonious systemcomprete
in itserf.
our presentperception of mind and matter must
be
expanded to the realm of cause in order to understand
and take our place in the class room of everlasting
learning.
observation is our greatestteacherbut we must learn
to see the cause or the related purpose of all forms
or
manifestations.
Principle, or source of origin, and nature,slaws re-
main forever the same for they are immutable. Man,s
concept of the law expands as he desiresto know more
and more of his purposein relation to the cosmos.
our neighborson the sister planets of our solar sys-
tem came to the realization a long time ago that every
minutestparticle in the cosmos is inter-relatedwith every
other particle. Thereby in order to have even a small per-
ception of the purposeof life, each phasemust be studied
in relation to the whole. They shared a theory with all
who were interested and gradually theories grew into
facts as they explored further and further and unified ail

knowledge. world conflicting thought centersare springing up, each
professingitself the only dispenserof the absolutetruth
and man finds himself wondering just what is truth.
As long as man has been in existenceI supposehe
has sought for truth without recognizingit when he had
it firmly in his grasp.
Many generationsago when the Roman Empire was
at the height of her glory and the weight of her dom-
inance was felt by a host of people there arose in her
midst a master mind who said to those oppressed,"you
shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free."
And the people eager for deliverance,cried out, "The
truth! Give us the truth that we may be free!" They were
told the meaningof truth but they could not comprehend
and so we hear the echo of thosewords and of the billions
like them quivering down the ages with an insistent
appeal- "The truth! what is truth?"
r\nd for every such questioningvoice there is another
calling, "Follow me, I alonecan give you the real truth!"
And blindly the people follow, little knowing or under-

standing the purpose of life.
So to you of this present day - you who have ac-
quired much knowledge of many things, I ask, "What
is truth?"
Those who are idealistically inclined will answer, "ft
is reality!" And those who are founded upon a cold sci-
entific basis will answer, "Fact." Others will say that
truth is that which is opposed to untruth or is that which
is good. To those who gave the first'two answers I shall
say you are correct so far as you have gone but I shall
proceed to catch you in a net of your own weaving. The
latter answer that truth is that which is good is utterly
misconceivedand evasive.
Let us, therefore,get down to real analysis.Just what
is the truth about truth? You have said that it is Reality
and if I were to ask you to define reality you would be
compelled to admit that it is that which has actual exist-
ence, and yet you speak of the real and the unreal. You
have a set standard for Reality. Does not everything that
is known have apparent existence?How else should it
have become known?
What of those that say truth is fact - explaining
further that it is that which can be proven. Let me ask
you this - proven to whom and by what and for how
long? Again you must have a set standard of discrimina-
tion. Must it be proven by man's laws or theories that
have already been given recognition? Then you are
putting a limitation on truth. Must it be proven to all
people or only to one who is able to see beyond the
perception of his fellow-men?Proof can only go so far as

THE TRUTH ABOUT TRUTH
a man will accept and truth to each man is only that
which he has experiencedeither by mental realizationor
physical expression,and yet truth is universal.It is the
sum total of action. Every smallestquivering frequency
in the whole cosmosis truth - true becauseit perpetu-
ates action. I shall bring all of my statementsdown to a
perfectly logical, matter-of-factfoundation.
Most of the world's intoleranceis due to the miscon-
ception of truth. Men fight to death for their individual
conceptof it when a little wisdom would show them that
they are only a stepapart in the samehall of learning,but
d u e t o t h e f a c t t h a t e v e r y i n d i v i d u a l i n t e l l i g e n c eh a s a
slightly different degreeof understanding,truth to each
is slightly different.Intoleranceis a mark of ignorance,
for a developedintelligenceis able to view sequencesof
action that shows each separateaction to be relatively
true. And becauseall sidesof a question are understood
he is bound by none. This type of intelligencedoes not
condemn those who see only one phase of the whole

that follow the course of thought that the individual is
i n d u l g i n gi n .
Truth is action- the whole action of which every
part is true. Small truths lead into greatertruths anclone
small truth cast out as false can block the progressof a
civilization,as has beenshown by the historyof the past.
Becausemen do not understandthe meaningof truth
and are thereforeintolerant,therehasbeena spanof over
a thousandyears of scientificdarknessthat might lrave

 Cosmic PhilosoPhY
higher standardof human expression.
"You shall know the truth and the truth shall make
you free." And the truth is that all things are true - tlug
in a relative sense, I grant You,- relative to all other
parts, but until men recognizeand give due consideration
to the Cause of all actions they will never be free' Only
in uniting our efforts, acknowledginga common purpose
can we bring civilization to a unified state of under-
standing and progress.
Truth is like a great picture puzzle- a mosaic, as it
were, and each man's individual expressionis a part of
the total composition. The mature individual realizeslife
as a successionof duties to be performed. Becausethere
are diversified concepts of life does not mean that only
one can be correct. No, all are true. Whatever is con-
ceived in the mind of man is true to him for the moment
just as every act of nature is true whether it be of creation
or disintegration. Man's ideas may be used unwisely
becausehe has not enough knowledge to use them con-
structively in relation to other truths, but that does not
mean that the results establisha fact'
judge
our purpose in life, then, is not to personally
between the true and the untrue but to so coordinate our
own being with nature that we may unite the knowledge
of Cause and Effect.

THE MAGNIFICENT PERCEPTTON
PRELUDE
The roll of the tides and the waves and the rising and
setting of suns, the whirling of atoms and worlds are all
tuned to the cosmic Plan yet are subject to time and to
space.
Time is the instrument used to measure the move-
ment of Beings- the element action createsin its path
from the formless to the formed. In Eternity always you
are, but in time you're unstable,inconstant.
Sit here at the center of all and look out on your flux
of expression.As the moon to the vision of man passes
through all the various phases yet remains still an orb
complete without change or point of division, So you
through your phases shall pass; mortal eyes shall see
change and division yet you are a circle complete -
you're endless,eternal, abiding
Look forth from these eternal heights, from the heart
of your
unified being; look down towards the plains of
desire where your destiny finds its fulfillment. Look
closely and firmly perceive that the break which you one
time envisionedis nothing but mortal illusion; that there
is but the unified whole.
Always you are One, you are All, as a centralized
point of Being. Undying, unchanging- the Conscious-

ness, Cause, and the Action - sy6lving, transmuting a
form to a unified state of awareness.
From action to action you pass like a great shuttle
weaving new patterns - on the loom of Eternity weaving
^ pattern of beauty called Life. The fine silver thread
which you use is Cosmic Consciousness,binding together
each stitch in true lines of perfection; creating in patient
evolvement the unified Love Mantle of All. Each thought
and each consciousemotion weaves the Pattern of exact
direction, in time uniting the parts and the Allness,
absorbing the All in the One.
THE WORD
In the beginning there was but the Word: no mortal
mind can know the Word in full for it contains all knowl-
edge and all Power, and only that which is Itself the
Word can know or understandpotentially. But through a
mighty action the Word was imaged into primal form; in
form so fine that only Cause could know its attributes or
view its being. It incarnated through the whole of sub-
stanceand impregnated all matter with Its presencetill in
the place of a tremendous void there grew the second or
the form-creation.
Virgin was this creation in the image of the Word,
and filled with all the power of pure wholeness,for it was
but one great united form, the body of Cosmic Cause
whom we in reverencehave called "The Word'"
Throughout all space the Word reverberated;It set in
motion all the Primal Essence until the whole span of
6
THE MAGNIFICENT PERCEPTION
Infinity swayedto the Heart-beatof the Mighty Oneness.
Rhythm on rhythm rose and fell in one great undivided
harmony, for deep within the bosom of the Word there
surged the wondrous Love Song of Creation.
Greater and greater the Heart of Space was stirred
until at last the Song was breathedinto a living thing.
Each motion as an elemental tone within the mighty
symphonyand every tiny particle of substancewas tuned
into accord with every other unit in all space.And thus
the impulse of Cosmic Will becamea law that ne'er can
broken be within the scope of everlastingaction. (This
Law involvesthe principle of true affinity.)
Were it possiblefor any of the Cosmic vibrations to
unite contrary to this Primal Law and causea discord in
the mighty paeon their span of such expressionwould be
contained within one moment's quivering vibration, for
discord cannot last within the Whole whose very fact of
being rests upon the immutable law of harmony. There
is no loss of equilibrium within the scope of Cosmic
Rhythm that shall not be again absorbedand reunited
into Wholeness.For nothing can break the Melody that
has forever throbbed within the Heart of That which is,
ftself, Infinity.
Creation as a whole makes up the song that rises and
falls in its impassionedcadence,expressingin the glory
of calm Silence all that the Word has been, is, and shall
be; voicing with soundlesssounds and formless beauty
the pulsing force that blends and inter-blendsinto new
rhythrns. The Breath of the All-Creative Intelligence is
sent forth in peaceful, silent tones of consciousnessand

Cosmic Philosophy
in the womb of illimitable space each new creation stirs
with quickened life and becomesanother true note in the
endlessSong of Action.
Out of Cosmic Cause are worlds and planets whirled
into existence;out of such formless beauty has evolved
form upon form until at last there came one form so per-
fect in its geometric pattern that it possessedthe possi-
bilities of understanding Cause. And so into this form
was poured the Breath which speaksthe rhythm of crea-
tion into being, and it was given power to perceivd all
existence; and it was also blessed with power to name
that which before had been but nameless.
And this creation, highest of them all, was known as
Man, born out of That which has no ending; given
dominion, consciousnessand love and power over all the
lesser things. But he descendedinto depths of sleep, be-
came unconscious of the vaster kingdoms, forgetful of
the Glory that existsand dreamed,instead,into existence,
the changingimage of mortalitY.
oh, son of God and son of Man, lift up all things
within your sight; let your heart make known that which

affinity, the great magnetic principle of attraction, and all
that therein grows and multiplies is of the one and only
Cosmic Power.
Each form that with our mortal eyeswe view is but a
point of action in the whole - a minute bit of elemental
substancemoving to ever changing patterns and designs;
impelled and impregnatedwith all-abiding consciousness.
There is no tiniest unit in the Whole that does not bend
an ear to the Law which Fathers it and causesit to be.
And all that we perceivewith mortal eyesand know with
our consciousnessis but the effectiveimage of the Cause
Intelligence, which formless is, yet causes forms to be;
which knows no limitations and no bonds yet creates
transient dense conditions that move and change within
the bosom of incomprehensibleEternity.
And every unit in the whole of Being, each atom and
each spark of consciousnessreveals without a mark of
limitation, if we but seek its heart, the perfect image of
Infinity. And each of the little passing points of action
which we in earthly terms have labelled time, speak
within the moment of their being the fullnessof Eternity.
Just as the drop of water from the ocean reveals the
character of that from which it came; and every sunbeam
traveling through space reflects the composition of the
sun and revibratesthe image of that orb in all of the glory
of its full expression.
We, as children of the Cosmos,are in the processof
reflecting the understandingof our Source. All action is
the echo of the Word as It passesthrough the vast arcades
of space,and in lts passingcreatestime and form.
9
 Cosmic Philosophy
We must open our eyes of consciousnessand view in
all Its magnitude and beauty, the living, breathing image
of the Word.
THE NAME
The Word is changeless,whole and complete. The
Name personifies the Word - divides Its vastnessinto
many parts, gives place and form to each and every part
and power of utterance in an auditory state.The whirling
mass of substancecalled the Earth is to the mortal ears a
mighty name, for on its surface humankind evolves and
learns a tongue with which to speak the Name of That
which in Itself is nameless,yet Earth shall change and
pass away in Time, to reunite within the Cosmos. The
Word has always been, will always be, the Name has a
beginning and an ending.
The Word has never given forth a Name and never
shall, for in such act would lose its endlessand eternal
state of Being. But Man, to whom free-will and power
was given, who slumbers deep and dreams his mortal
dreams, has in his waking moments labelled action and
given name to consciousnessand form. His eyes at first
were dim with mortal slumber; he saw but vaguely
through the mist of sleep, and only felt the coarsest of
frequenciesthat shaped the holy substanceinto form, but
those he named so he might build a memory of parts to
guide his future waking states, for only by such means
can he evolve to recognition of Cosmic Allness.
lo
THE MAGNIFICENT PERCEPTION
Little by little man's awarenessof that which he en-
countersexpands,and clearer grows his vision till at last
his consciousawarenessbeholds the transcendentCause
behind the Name.
Out of the Primal Essencehas come forth, charged
with the Power of the Word, the manifestedutteranceof
Cause.The planets,worlds,the moon, the starsand suns,
the leafing trees, the song bird and the rain, the beasts,
the crawling reptilesand the dew, each in its own tongue
expresses the Word. But man has given unto eacha Name
and it is there that his attentionlies. Manifestationhas
become his God and he has placed the Name above the
Word, which namelessis and silentand unseenyet causes
all the namedthingsto be.
RELATIVITY
Matter manifests as an effect of the Cause impulse
that rises from the Word. As a pebble dropped in the
center of a still pool will send an impulse through the
whole clear mass and stir its farthest boundaries into
motion, so was the Primal Substancecausedto vibrate by
the Cosmic Impulse. And as the nearest wavelets are
finer than those at the ultimate extreme so is the sub-
stanceclose to the heart of Creation finer than that upon
the outer edge.Each impulse of the Word that has mani-
festedin the realmsof matter has evolvedinto its formed
state of being through a primal motion or centralized
impulse,out of which grew a heaviermotion, swellingto

Father-Mother principle of the Cosmos.
As far as we know consciousness had no beginning
and will have no ending for it seemsto be all in all, the
Alpha and Omega, and is made up of the Trinity; first the
power; second, the intelligence; and third, the created
form. John tells s5 -'(lp the beginning was the Word
and the Word was with God and the Word is God.' What
is a word? Is it not a thought expressed?And does not
thought depend upon consciousnessfor it's being? Then
we must admit that "in the beginning was consciousness
and the consciousness was with God and consciousness is
God." Out of consciousness,again, proceeded thought so
"in the beginningwas thought and thought was with God
and thought is God." And thought becoming expressed
returns us in proper sequenceto the Word which is with
God and is God. (Cosmic Cause) The incarnation of
these three through action brings forth manifestation
which is concreterealizationin form of that which exists
always in consciousness.
Everything from the mineral to the Cause kingdom
is changed, moment by moment, by the everlastingactiv-
ity of consciousness.It is the avenue of progress; the
stream of life ladened with ideas which drop into the

The growth of earth and the growth of man is the

itself, is composed of consciousness. All things of the

CONSCIOUS AND SUB.CONSCIOUS MIND
There has been, and is, widespread misunderstanding
regarding the status and function of the subconscious
mind. This lack of knowledge has caused many people
to get lost in mysteries which are of no value to human-
kind. There are books and teachings regarding the sub-
ject, which we find by research to be wrong. We know
that the so-calledconscious mind, which is the intellect
that we use daily to govern our normal activities, is very

CONSCIOUS AND SUB-CONSCIOUS MIND
the sensemind executesthe impressionperfectly,so that
it may partake of the experienceof right action. Just as a
teacher would tell a child to do somethingin a certain
way and the child did not do it, but made a mistake,if the
teachershould allow the child to go on that way, would
it ever know the right way of doing that which it was told
to do? No. Therefore the teacher,in order that the child
may know the right way, insiststhat it be done over and
over until it is done right and by so doing the child has
the practical experienceof how it is done.
To bring ourselvesinto a broader state of conscious
awarenesswe must transfer the controls from the sense
mind to the All Knowing consciousness; and by so doing
we transform the body into its natural state. The con-
sciousthoughtsthat we entertainin our mind draws like
conditions unto us. If we wish to expand in conscious
awarenessof that which we really are we must place the
past conditions which have already served us in their
proper place, and progressinto the vast understandingof
a limitless being.
Knowing what we are, we then have to hold fast to
that which we want and eliminate from the conscious
sensemind that which we do not want. we are bound to
get resultsif that which we want is the right thing for us
to have at that time. otherwise we will get what we need
at the proper time.
But man must have faith and confidencein the work-
ings of the eternal law; if he has any doubt he will block
the condition from appearing. A doubt as small as a
mustard seed will keep it from him, but should he have

One of the greatestbits of wisdom ever given to man
by the outstandingphilosophersof all agesis composed
of two words: "Know thyself."That one assignmenthas
kept the seekersof knowledgehard at work for billions
of years,and it will still be a supremeadmonitiona bil-
lion years hence.It is an eternalstudy, for man himself
is eternal. In that one statementthe philosophershave
taken in the whole of the Cosmos.
The desirewithin all men to understandthemselves is
increasing tremendously.Theory upon theory has been
advancedin the endeavorto throw somenew light on the
subject. Of late years we have heard a great deal con-
cerning the senseman,and the control of the sensesas a
meansof living above conditionsand environments,yet
we are still strugglingunder a misconceptionconcerning
them.
We have looked upon ourselvesas a five sensebeing
possessing the attributesof sight, hearing, taste, smell,
and feelingor touch. We havedrifted along idly content-
ing ourselveswith this analysisof our makeup, but re-
cently we have becomequite curious to know just how
thesesenseswork and what they are. In our seekingwe
have run our craft upon a rock. We have been unable to
account for certain elementsof action which we have
encounteredin our daily livesand so to relievethe tension

of this uncertainty some of our most learned theorists
have endowedus with a sixth sense.To this added sense
has been attributed all the phenomenathat have been
unexplainablein the five senseman. In fact there have
been those who have sought to add a seventhsense.The
mortal mind seems to have a faculty for complicating
that which is very simple and therebycreatingconfusion
insteadof understanding.
If you have acceptedthe theory of the sixth senseyou
will no doubt be surprisedby the statementwhich I am
about to make, but as one of the great Chinesesageshas
expressedit - "The truth that we least wish to hear is
that which it would be to our advantageto know-"
The purposeof this lessonis to show you by meansof
practical analysisthat man is not the possessorof the
five sensesbut is actually a four sensebeing. This, we
realize may be more difficult for you to accept than the
belief in the sixth sense,for we as mortalscan more easily
accept that which we feel adds to, rather than subtracts
from that which we think we have. However, this sub-
traction, as you will find, is not in the natureof releasing
somethingas a loss, but as the processof gaining some-
thing much greater.
Let uS, therefore, analyzethe senseman. You have
believedthat man is endowedwith five avenuesof expres-
sion - sight, hearing, taste, smell and feeling. Each of
theseattributesis supposedto have the ability to act inde-
pendentlyof the others.We can closeour eyesand hear,
taste and smell. It is possibleto decipherbetweensweet

question. we can certainly tell the differencebetweena
bit of garlic and a rose without using the senseof sight,
sound or taste.So it is possibleto prove that four of our
sensesdo work independentlyof each other. But now let
us remove that which is known as the fifth sense;let us
depriveman of feeling.what is the immediareresult?The
t result is a stateof unconsciousnessi the four other senses
have ceasedto function, even though the organs of sense

themselves,are still existing in the body. The eyes,nose,
palate and ears are uninjured yet they do not see,smell,
taste or hear. Apparently thesesensescannot, then, work
tP. independentlyof feeling. Does this not prove that feeling
is not a sense,but the consciouspower which gives sen-
sation to the senses?
+ Each senseis able to operate independentlyof the
other sensesonly so long as it is supportedby the life

active being, knowing joy and sorrow, peace and pain,
and altogethervery much alive. The feelingis indestruct-
ible. It is the eternal, the everlastingintelligence.The
destructionof the body cannot destroythe feeling, which
is consciousness.It is like the electricity which flows
t through the wiresto the bulb to producelight. If the bulb

is destroyedthe electricity cannot produce light through
it, but the electricityis not destroyed.On the other hand,
if the electricityis withdrawn it mattersnot how good the

stand one we must understand the other; they are the two
ends of one pole. Fear is the lower expression so let us
begin with an analysisof it and work upward to faith.
If we analyze fear we will find it to be produced by a
state of wondering in regard to our support and safety. In
most every case fear is focalized about one'S personal

How often quoted is the expressionof the Christ, ..[f
ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed ye shall say to
this mountain, remove henceto yonder place, and it shall
remove; and nothing shall be impossibleto you." * This
statementhas been used to show how little faith is neces-
sary to bring forth manifestation. Notice, however, that
the words are not "faith as great as a grain of mustard
seed" but "faith as a grain of mustard seed." Not the
quantity of faith but the quality of faith is called to note
in this statement. Let us study the consciousnessof the
mustard seed. Is it ever overcome with fear in regard to
its personal existence?what causesit to grow? Is it not
the conscious impulse force within it which promotes it
into action? The seedknows nothing but this urge within
itself which causesit to expand, burst its shell and pro-
ceed upward into the light. tt does not seek to resist this
force of natural growth nor does it wonder if it is right to
act in this manner. It acts unquestioningly according to
the law or principle of its purpose. It does not look to
effects- neither to man, to earth, water, or sun. It ex-
pands into a mature bush because the forces within it
command it into such growth.
At this point you will, of course, soy, "But the seed
could not grow without the support of the earth, air,
water and sun." This is true, but as the seed obeys the
command of the Cosmic or Cause intelligence all neces-
sary elementsunite to bring it forth. The seedis not com-

manded to push through the ground in the cold winter
months nor does it seek to grow without that urge from
within. It waits patiently till it feels that the rime for
growth has come. What would happen if the seed ques-
tioned the urge to grow as man questionsnew ideas of a
broader conception of life that try to impress themselves
upon his mind? As the seed by not resisting the urge
grows into a beautiful bush, so man, likewise, may be
assuredthat if an idea or desirearisesthat is impersonal,
it is there for a purpose and if acted upon will produce
beneficial results. A desire can be kept from manifesting
only through the eftort of the personal will in resisting
action. For the thought or desire is the actual Cause
which fathers the outward conditions.
The developmentof faith in man is the growth out of
the personality into the impersonal expansion of aware-
ness;from effect to the causeback of all effects.
There is no such thing as absolute unbelief; there is
only a growth from the lesser faith to the greater faith.
As the teacher Zoroaster explained, "Evil is but un-
ripened good." Likewise, fear is but undeveloped faith.
Man has come from Cause Intelligence to the world of
effects; his mortal sensemind lost the memory of Cosmic
Cause and he is now in the processof reestablishinghim-
self; he is on his way back to onenesswith the Principle
where selfishnesswith all of its innumerable effects is
dissolved. It is through the recognition and realization of
Cause that faith is stabilized.
Why do we have perfect confidencethat the sun will
rise each day? Have you ever known a man rising each

morning, hours before dawn, to sit wringing his hands in
tense anxiety over the prospect of eternal darkness?No,
we have no such fear, and the primal reason that we do
not doubt in this caseis becausethe action of the suns and
planets is greaterthan our mortal mind can conceive and
therefore we leave such actions entirely in the hands of
the All-Knowing Principle which understandsand per-
petrates all action. In this case we realize our personal
insufficiencyand so do not concern ourselvesby exerting
mortal effort in regard to it. We simply allow it to take
place.
Do we worry that the rivers will start flowing up hill,
or drop a weight and hold our breath that it might rise
again, or throw a ball into the air and doubt that it will
return to earth? No, for again we know the principle
governing such action.
Our lack of fear is not due to our confidencein mat-
ter but our inherent faith in the principle supporting and
controlling matter. I say inherent becauseCosmic Cause
which producesfaith is within every one. It is closer than
hands and feet and whether or not we as mortals openly
admit its existence we do realize it or we would not be
conscious,living beings.
It behooves us then to study Principle instead of
focusing all of our attention upon the effects of Principle
(sourceof origin). When we direct our attention towards
that inner guiding force we become fully awake and feel
the inter-relationship of all life. There has never been a
time when one released the personal ego to this inner
force that he has not seen some immediate result of

EMOTIONAL BALANCE
As we all know there is a great unrest all over the
world. The conditions existing in the national, home, and
personal life all display quite clearly the loss of equi-
librium which now exists. Each individual feels the need
for security and the people of the earth are demanding
something that will bring about more stable conditions.
The desire for equality and balance and sorne feeling of
assurance have caused some people to return to the
churches and many to follow the teacherswho professto
know all of the answersconcerning the new dispensation.
Unfortunately there are extremely few individuals who
are equipped with this type of knowledge.
We find that students who have studied under one
teacher or another are very confusedand living in a state
of dissatisfaction concerning the world they must call
home. They are looking to the day when they will be
privileged to become the inhabitant of another planet.
They can see no beauty in this woild, being conscious
only of the pain and misery which exists.
Teacher and students have made the mistake of sep-
arating heaven and earth and so have been carried from
one false balance to another. The impersonal man will
unite heaven and earth; will incorporate idealism and
practicality; will bring the peace and beauty of the celes-
tial into the concrete materialism of the earth. Anyone

world will find it no easierin another world. The Father,
by whose breath we live, has but one Law that governs
all things.He createdthis planet as He createdall others,
and the sameprincipledirectsits action. All worlds in the

The choice is yours, for the acts of today bring the
rewards of tomorrow. Enjoyable rewards will come to
those who are living according to the laws set in motion
by Cause Intelligence- giving honor to the All-Creative
Principle of Life, and such honor does not incorporate
the characteristicsof emotionalismor self hypnotism.
Religion and so-called spiritual teachings have not,
in most cases,.brought true realization to the heart of
humanity. Some of these organizations practice rituals
and affirmations which produce a temporary intoxication
during the performance of the rites but tend towards a
tremendous "let down" after the service has been com-
pleted. Most of the individualsattending,upon returning
to their worldly pursuits revert to the old ways where the
survival of the fittest attitude takes over, and man con-
tinues to take advantageof his brother instead of being
his brother's keeper. In the religious sanctuary the indi-
vidual feelsthat he would help any one accordingto their
needs and where hate had been, there arises an emotion
that is interpreted as love, but outside of the sanctuary

RELAXATI O N
lethargy which may be interpreted as relaxation but such
a condition is no more than the eftect produced by loss of
equilibrium which lowers the frequency of the body cells
and puts them in a state of partial coma. Such a condition
is to be avoided for it is actually destructive.Relaxation
does not include the creation of a rnental vacuum or the
cessationof action. It is the means by which the mortal
consciousnessreleasesitself to the greater action of the
cosmos and therefore should not and cannot produce a
dormant condition in any part of the body. If a person
is not aware of a finer and more intense activity tak-
ing place within his being he can assure himself that
he is not relaxed but has merely dropped into a state of
indifference.
A person may quiet the body through a form of
self-hypnosis, but this is not relaxation, for it destroysthe
free action of the body elements. The body is composed
of tiny cells in each of which there is a spark of potential
energy capable of unlimited radiation. This spark or
nucleus within each cell is the animating energy of the
body, but becausethe particles surrounding this central
force are generally held in the tense state they act as bar-
riers or resistersto the energy within. when this tense
condition is releasedthe outer substancecomposing each
cell becomesreceptiveto the energy at its center and is set
into a higher frequency through the action of the inter-
penetrating force.
Relaxation reduces the friction within the body by
eliminating the resistanceof one cell-form to another.
For
instance, if a large number of fish were placed in

small bowl there would be constant friction due to the
inevitable contact between them, and the action of each
would be retarded because of the congested condition
existing within the bowl; but if thesesame fish were re-
leased into a large pool they would swim about easily
without interferencewith one another.They would be in
a position to use the potential energy which they possess.
The cells in the body act in the same manner and it is the
mortal sensemind which must releasethem for free exe-
cution of their purpose.
The average individual does not realize how com-
pletely he is bound and limited by his own opinions.
Tensenessis wholly a condition caused by the personal
ego; posseSsiveness,greed, fear, Covetousness and self de-
siresall produce a set and unyieldingcondition within the
body. The person who is of a very positive nature finds
relaxation a most difficult accomplishment,for relaxation
consistsof releasementand non-resistance. It is a natural
stateof being which should be maintained all times but
at
cannot be held by one who is absorbed in self interest
only.

c o n t e n dw i t h o n e a r t h
Man is capable of expressingthe fullnessof life but
he must become non-resistantto cosmic energy if he
would have it expressthrough him. He has lost the true
course of action by exalting the personalego; he has cre-
ated the habit of believing that all accomplishmentis
brought about through the exertion of personaleffort. He
fatigues himself unnecessarilyby trying to force condi-
tions which will come about perfectlyin a natural way if
allowed to do so. Much energy is wasted becauseof per-
sonal dominance. It is difficult for the mortal to under-
stand that impersonalnon-resistance allows a free flow of
energy,that in peacethere is more intenseactivity than in
friction. Man has become so aware of the coarser fre-
quenciesthat he cannot realize action in its finer, more
quiet and peaceful state. One who does live the non-
resistant,receptive attitude has found the highway of
true happiness,for he knows no fatigue, no pain, DO
disappointment.
The idea that one must becomestrenuousin outward
action or must display an appearanceof great personal
effort in order to accomplishoutstandingthings is a false
belief. The person who reaches the greatest heights of

understand them. Man has limited himself to one phase
of life and has closed the door upon the vastnessof the
Cosmos.This is due to the fact that he has given recogni-
tion only to the mortal senseswhich gain their impres-
sions from outer things. He expects to hear only thoie
sounds that are coarseenough to affect the physical organ
of hearing and so he loses the ability to interpret the
cosmic language as a whole. And what is this cosmic
language?It is consciousfeeling - the voice that speaks
through every form arid which, therefore, unites All into
an inseparableunit. There is nothing in the cosmosthat
cannot speak to man with the voice of consciousfeeling
and there is not one thing that cannot understandthat
language.It speaksas clearly through the smallestthing
as it does through the greatest.
You are related to everything in the cosmos. The
language of consciousnessis spoken by all, and if you
will be continuously aware of this fact the time will come
when you will understandevery living thing. The leaves

Well perhaps,but what would it profit us to go back and

ancient civilizationsdid not heed the words of wisdom
that were given to them, and that is true. Lemuria,Atlan-

points of interest you may find in them. My friends from I

on their planet at presenthavelived upon the earth.
In the cosmic book of memory, often referred to as

Out of the Book of Memory, which the scriprurestell

Lemuria, that mysterious land which sank beneath the f
dark watersof the Pacific Ocean.
Lemuria was a vast continent which included most of
the islands of the Pacific- Hawaii, the Easter Islands, ,l

groups. These islandswere at one time the highest moun-

one time a civilized part of the world; her people were
highly cultured and possessedadvanced knowledge of
cause and effects.They lived not for self but for the All,
recognizingeach form as the expresserof Cosmic Intelli-
g"n"". gain individual knew himself as a servant of the
universal force. They went about their duties in a peaceful
manner without thought of one man being greater than
another, of of one piece of work being more important
than the rest. No jealousy or greed existed among them
- [-srnurian land was the home of one happy family
where discord was unknown and equality reigned.
The Lemurians were of the brown race and their

for worship as they were a monument of beauty dedicated
to the All-Power whom they servedin their daily actions.
For these ancient people needed no temple in which to
worship - they recognized the All-Being dwelling in
themselvesand in every form of life upon the earth. rn"i,
idealism in the beginning was the virtue of God which
was meant to be expressedin man, and becauseof this
idealism they were bestowed with powers unknown to
man today. The Lemurians did not abuse or misuse the
Iaws of nature and while they were building up their
empire it was an actual heaven upon earth. But like
practically all civilizations they had their downfall in
time. virtue became lost in greed and selfishness,and
towards the end of their existencethey were no different
than the present civilization. At last nature took a hand
and sunk the land beneaththe waters of the pacific ocean.
The Golden Age of the Lemurians rastedfor approxi-
mately three thousand years. During this time they were
in contact with Egypt and in fact all of the Asiatic coun-
tries but it was not until the fourth of the thousand year
periods that their country was invaded by self-seeking
individuals from other parts of the world. At that time
there were people who came from the territory that is now
known as Greece and Rome and settled in Lemuria.
These people were of the lighter races;they won the con-
fidence of the Lemurians, intermarried with them and
gradually perverted the pure thought of the happy people.
This foreign element slowly took upon themselvesthe
rulership of Lemuria. They were hard, fearful rulers and
greedy for wealth and power. They began to show favor-

 Cosmic Philosophy
itism and to instill in the minds of the Lemurians the
thought of inequality. Where the people had once served
each other for the love of action they were now forced to
serve to enrich and empower the few. They learned the
meaning of rebellion and selfishnessand greed those
things which had never before found place among them.
They learned to follow the example of their rulers and
work for self instead of the All. They closed themselves
to the guidance of their creator and turned into the mor-
tal channel of expression.
This went on for several hundred years until at last
the forces of nature demanded payment for their unbal-
anced conditions - the payment of suffering. They were
given warnings of their future destruction if they contin-
ued in their unbalanced state but they heededthem not,
so the elements turned against them. The earth became
unsteadybeneath their feet; tidal wavesswept their shores
and eventually a steady trembling took hold of the entire
Lemurian country. For approximately seven months the
earthquakes continued and gradually the land began to
sink. The waters rushed in and covered the one-time
Heavenly kingdom and another civilization was lost."
The earthquakes and the sinking of the continent
were due to natural causes.A shift or change of the sur-
face of the earth comes at certain intervals,but the people
of Lemuria had become so emersed in the mortal world
of effectsthat they paid no attention to the warningsgiven
by nature. Had they been alerted to these signs they
could have moved to safer territory.
