It would be impossible for me to explain how these talks were
given, for I would only be giving my opinion, which might be
incorrect; but I can tell you of the feelings I had.
For several months prior to giving these talks I would awaken
from my sleep at night hearing a voice apparently speaking to
I thought I was dreaming yet it was not a dream, it was a real
voice. Whether it was my own or another, I cannot say. The
peculiar thing was that I could hear this voice and reason what it
said at the same time.
After many of these experiences the voice said that special talks
would be given when the proper time arrived. The time did
arrive, and the voice spoke instructing that the talks would begin
on a certain night when those attending were all chosen. Thereafter
no one must be allowed in during the series of talks, and
these talks must be taken down in shorthand and recorded on a
wire recorder so that nothing would be lost.
When the night for those talks duly arrived I took my place in
the auditorium. I was quite concerned about what was going to
happen, when I felt as if 1,000 volts of electricity were passing
through me. I did not lose consciousness, although I became
aware of a magnificent power, a consciousness far above my own.
Yet we seemed to be linked together in some mysterious way,
which I cannot explain because I do not know.
Then I could hear my voice, yet it was different, speaking with
great authority, an authority of one who absolutely knew. I
listened very attentively to what was said and could understand
with a clarity that I never had before. The language was perfect,
without a flaw, without a hesitation. For a whole hour this went
I was amazed because I knew that no human brain could
duplicate such a feat, yet this feat was repeated each week for
fourteen weeks.
Only when I heard the talks on the wire recorder did I know
that something had taken place. I wondered, and I am still
7

wondering, about the wonder of it all. You can read for yourselves
what was said, and if it gives you the comfort and satisfaction
that it gave me and also those who had the privilege of
hearing these spoken words, then they have not been spoken in
vain.

Description given by Miss Bagot-Smith
A Transfiguration Experience Never To Be Forgotten
In the spring of 1948 a series of talks was given at ‘Escom House’
in Johannesburg, South Africa. To those who were chosen to hear
them, this was a unique and unforgettable experience. No one
who heard them could ever be the same again. They were hours
of the highest spiritual growth and understanding. It was as
though a veil were torn from our eyes and we could see clearly.
The veritable presence of the Master became so strong a reality to
us that it has never faded but grown in intensity and vividness.
And always, since that time, when we lift our minds to spiritual
things, suddenly we know the Master is beside us, the Power of
the Father is within and all is well.
It was not the actual words that made these lectures so amazing;
it was the way they were delivered. The words themselves
will ring in our memories forever, but the greatest Truth was
shown to us without words, and no description could ever convey
the tremendous force of the presence of the Master, and,
through Him, the Love of the Father – distinct evidence more
real than anything physical around us.
As the lecturer entered, he was the kindly, smiling man we all
knew so well. After a pause of silence, he seemed to breathe himself
out of his body in a sudden gasp, leaving it swaying and
without control. Then suddenly an amazing change took place: a
short, sharp intake of breath; and the very Master was present; in
the same body, but utterly different. We knew perfectly well that
the lecturer was still the man we had all known and respected for
years, but at the same time he was someone completely different.
The change was so startling that our benumbed senses could
scarcely credit it. But at the same time it was true, and we knew
it was true. The man before us now appeared unusually tall,
much taller than the lecturer himself. Words cannot tell the
9
Talks given through Dr MacDonald Bayne
strength of this astounding truth – but it was so. We were forced
to believe it beyond the evidence of our ordinary senses.
Here now before us was a man, commanding of aspect, austere
and of great authority, with brilliant eyes and an assurance of
power. Straight and tall He stood before us and with deep solemnity
He pronounced His regular greeting:
“My Peace I bring to you.”
As the speaker progressed and we became more understanding,
the greeting changed to “My Peace and my Love I bring to
you,” and later to “My Peace and my Blessings I bring to you.”
The blessing was given with the two first fingers of the right
hand raised in the manner of a king, and low our hearts bowed
before its majesty.
A quietness spread through the hall: a vibrating power like a
stream of warmth passed through our bodies, burning whatever
part was imperfect, and healing as it flowed.
As one talk followed the other, we could feel our own vibrations
raised and our understanding clarified and lifted to a plane
far beyond our everyday life. In dawning comprehension we listened
to truths greater than any we had ever heard; and yet – to
our wondering astonishment – we realized they were the same
statements we had heard and read since infancy. But only now
did we understand their meaning. Suddenly the lightning truth
flashed into our minds and at last we knew the power of what the
Master first said so many years ago. And then His truths became,
for us, Reality, part of our very being, to be held precious in a
golden silence from now on into eternity.
Each word fell deliberately, with never a moment of hesitation,
almost like drops of water or jewels falling one after another into
the pool of silence deep around us. Each sentence was of perfect
construction, spoken effortlessly and with no pause for thought.
Gradually we came to know quite simply and without wonder
that we were not the only people present. Among us were those
10
Talks given through Dr MacDonald Bayne
whom we loved, who had passed on ahead; while beyond them,
in ever-widening circles, ranged thousands of higher entities.
The Master would address us all together and then, in regard to
the deeper things of life, we would be given just what each could
grasp. We in earthly bodies were addressed as, “You of mortal
sense”, while the Master would raise His eyes and speak directly to
those who had lately passed on, as to minds who had gained in
breadth of perception, who now knew the joy of a plane more spiritual
and lovely and infinitely free. And then in awe we listened
while the Master spoke to those who had more nearly approached
His highest perfection. High above us we felt them, and far behind
us, row upon row; but no one moved or turned a head as our eyes
were held by the Master. Our bodies had long since faded from our
senses – they were simply in abeyance, glued into immobility, as it
were, and it would take a definite effort to move them in any way.
The Master would bless us each in tum, first us ‘of mortal
sense’, and then the Spirits advanced so high above us – and His
voice would warm to their greater perception. In us He perceived
a rooted sense of separation, in them a unity that was a relief and
joy to Him. How small we felt – how utterly unworthy! – tiny,
lowly people, almost infants, reaching up uncomprehending
hands to what was still a mystery. But gradually we grew in the
stature of our own minds and our own self-respect. In daily life
we found ourselves leading where before we had stepped diffidently
back – our voice came with unexpected assurance and
authority. We too seemed to grow taller and to tread more lightly,
as if the spirit-self were growing stronger than the physical self.
Some of us saw glorious colors behind the lecturer – waves
of purple and gold so glowing that it almost hurt the eyes. To
some a slantwise cross was visible, to some a thick shaft of brilliant
white light pouring into the top of his head, while many saw
the long red-gold hair and beard, and heavenly music and bells
were heard in the background as he spoke.
It became increasingly clear to us that the Master had come to
give us His age-old message: “I come to show you the Father.”
11
Talks given through Dr MacDonald Bayne
How often we had heard it before, but with blinded senses.
Now we began to understand.
We learnt of the Master Jesus, Himself a man as we were,
highly sensitive, developed, perceiving, aware, as we were not, of
the wonder of the Christ within, the Son of the Living God. He
and the Christ and His Father were one Being. Of Himself He
could do nothing; but, identified with the Christ, one with the
Father, He could do all things and have dominion over all things.
As the talks commenced, His voice was always grave and austere,
as from a distance, sure and firm as a great leader speaking
to followers searching for knowledge. But, as He talked, His voice
warmed to us, His eyes shone with lovingness and delight in our
response and our understanding of His Spirit.
The listeners grew more and more numerous. And now and
then, in speaking of the Father, He would be overcome with His
own emotion of the love so aroused. His voice would fade away
and, entirely forgetful of us, suddenly He would so lose Himself
in the Love of the Father that it was as though an actual Being
was between us. He spoke to one much nearer than we were –
to someone so close as to be ‘nearer than breathing’. He would
stand wrapped in the glory of the Godhead. He would murmur
directly to His Father. Sometimes we heard the words, “Father I
love Thee, I love Thee, and I love those that Thou hast given me
– Thy children. I thank Thee for them.” In the pause, His face
was lit with a love of ineffable tenderness: a light of pure ecstasy
transfigured His features, almost blinding in its intensity – our
eyes could not bear the brilliance that shone from His face. It was
as though He had entered into some holy Temple of Love such as
we could not comprehend. In awe we gazed – the presence of
the Father so strong, so tangible, so vivid, as to be far more real
than the people around us. They faded; He was there, strong,
powerful, in glory beyond glory.
And we too began to know the Father – an actively loving
Being, no mere passive Godhead but a Father, powerful in guidance,
in achieving all the Son could wish, a loving Father with
12
Talks given through Dr MacDonald Bayne
arms around Him, sheltering Him in an ecstasy of peace.
A love shone through His presence, embracing all of us, impartially,
universally, forcing us to realize the Truth as a Truth real
beyond anything that could be touched or seen – the Truth of the
presence of God, a loving, active, positive, dynamic Father, a
silent partner, at our shoulder always, a God who travelled home
with us, came in at the gate with us, protecting us so that evermore
no fear would enter into our homes or lives. The Love of the
Father became an unmistakable reality. No words of the Master
gave us that realization; it was His own intense, burning, joyful
love of the Father that forced this knowledge upon us. And
because of this belonging to the Father, the Son was filled with a
peace and a glory of happiness that was eternal and infinite.
And as He ascended again to His Father, He called us His disciples
and He left us with His assurance:
“My Peace, and my Love, my Blessings, I leave with you to
remain with you.”
At the time, we felt that that was the end, and we longed for
the wonder of the talks over again. But twice more He came, with
a space of several months between.
At these times He spoke differently, bidding us search our
hearts to see how much we had progressed along the path of
Love that He had shown us. He asked us: “Is your faith so great
that now you too could walk upon the water?” And again, “Does
your love for the Father order all your thoughts and deeds?” “Do
you live in Love to the exclusion of all else?”
How deeply shamed we felt at the little we had done, and how
unworthy we knew ourselves to be of the honor of His coming.
* * * * *
The speaker continues to lecture week by week, and often the
Master, quite visibly, takes over his body for an amazing moment,
13
Talks given through Dr MacDonald Bayne
just at the end to give us His solemn blessing. The transfiguration
is complete, with gown, face, beard and hair showing through the
brilliant light around him:
“My Love and my Peace remain with you.”
So, in daily life, we know that the Master is beside us, and reverently
we tread the Earth, we whom He called His disciples,
with the sure knowledge, in our hearts, of the undying Christ,
alive and present in the world today.
Mrs. Patterson says:
“Words are inadequate to express what I saw and felt when our
Master spoke to us through the Doctor. For a few seconds I was
aware of a silence, unlike anything I have ever experienced; it
seemed that I was suddenly transported into another world. Then
I saw the whole outline of the Doctor’s body change; his face took
on quite a different expression and beams of light radiated from
him. The face of the Master showed up clearly.
The auditorium was charged with Power and Light.
At the time I did not realize it, but a great change took place
within myself. I was left with a deep feeling of security in a
Living Christ, which is everything to me.”
Mrs. Gilbert, a medium who has travelled the world, states:
“I have been a medium for over thirty years, but I have never
witnessed anything like I saw with the transfiguration of the
Master. The light that shone from Him was so great that I had to
close my eyes. I have never heard music so clearly before. The
auditorium was filled with those who had gone on before us.
What joy it was to listen to the voice that was clear, distinct, without
a flaw or an error, for over an hour. No human being could be
capable of such oratory.”
14
Talks given through Dr MacDonald Bayne
Misses S.A. and E.A. Arnott say:
“The greatest thing in our lives has happened – that the
Master showed Himself. His face clearly shone forth, bright blue
eyes, with reddish auburn beard and hair down to His shoulders.
The light that shone from Him was more than our eyes could
stand. Then we got accustomed to the brilliant light and could
watch every movement. It was a thrilling experience we will
never forget. His words were perfectly formed and not a pause or
a mistake did He make for over an hour. It was this that amazed
us most. The form of the Doctor grew a few inches as the Master
overshadowed him. This was the first experience we ever had in
transfiguration, although we had heard much about it.”
Mr. A. Thomas states:
“I am a most practical and critical person, being an engineer. I
was always doubtful about what others saw and heard, and
although I have read much on the subject of mediumship I was
not convinced. But when I saw with my own eyes a light so bright
that I had to close them – for it was some time before I could
accustom my sight to the brilliance – then to see the face that is
so familiar in many pictures of the Master, I was convinced that it
was true. The Master’s voice and speech were more than perfect.
It is doubtful if any human being could perform such oratory.
Although the Doctor is a good speaker I know he could not
perform such a feat. My wife and her mother attended these talks
and they also saw and heard the same as I did.”
All present have testified in one way or another to the wonderful
experiences they had during these talks by the Master.

Talk 1
I Am The Resurrection And The Life –
The Love Of God
I am myself Resurrection and Life, he who believes in me will live even if
he dies, and no one who lives and believes in me will ever die.
- God is Love and Love is God, yet no one knows what It is
– we only know that It is. Perhaps you have been theorizing –
never do this! You must let the Truth unfold without suggestions
from outside, and you must not come to a conclusion, for this
closes the avenue to Truth.
- Love is the center of the whole Universe, and from this
center a continuous flow of Love flows through every soul and
through everything that lives. Through flowers, through animals,
through human beings and angels, this same Love flows continuously
from Its Central Font, forever expressing Itself in Its true
nature.
- Love is the affinity in the minerals; Love is the essence in
the flowers; Love is expressed in the animal nature. In man Love
is expressed in affection, and, when fully realized, the whole
being is filled with It and, every cell in the body becomes vitalized.
- There is no other Power in the world but Love; It is the only
true Power in Heaven and on Earth, for It is eternal and ever present
everywhere. The outer will pass away, but Love shall forever
be, for It is the Omnipresence of God.
- Theorizing on Love is but a mental aspect of It. To theorize
on what Love is, is to lose Its power. You are the Creation of the
Infinite Life, which is Love; and Love expresses Itself in Its true
nature when understood and realized in this way.
- All great souls upon the earth are expressing this Love in
different ways in different parts of the world.
- Suggestions come from outside – but you cannot understand
the Truth from suggestions that arise from outside yourselves.
Therefore do not come to any conclusion in regard
16
I am the Resurrection and the Life
to the Truth, for the Truth is unfathomable and eternal I am
ever-present, expressing myself in my Divine Nature, which is
eternal
- You must accept this, yet you must not come to conclusions
of what It is, or what It is not.
- Remember, this mighty power is waiting to unfold in you;
you are the vehicle prepared by It; your soul is the vehicle through
which It will flow. To be conscious of this is the secret of the
God-man.
- What is space? You are now learning the rapidity of
thought transference, which is between you and the mind which
is influencing you. These thoughts know nothing of distance.
- Nathaniel asked, “Whence do you know me?” “Even
before Philip called you, while you were under the fig tree, I saw
you. Truly I say to all of you that from now on you will see the
Heavens opened and the angels of God ascending and descending
to the Son of Man.”
- You have already witnessed this Truth. All are angels in the
making; you are born angels, the angelic birth exists in you. This
is the Love of God. Some angels now existing are those who once
lived on one planet or another.
- The whole Universe is one complete whole, expressing the
Divine nature of Love. Love is the holy cohesive quality, the only
power that can sustain all things, and is bringing about Its own
perfection.
- There is never anything wrong where Love exists, for It is
complete in Itself.
- There is nothing that can interfere with the current of pure
thought directed from Life, for really there is no distance; the only
necessity is a condition of receptivity.
- It is now possible to receive this wonderful gift of the
Father that is being poured out eternally. You can experience It for
yourselves by opening yourselves up to It. You do not receive It
from the external; only know that It is eagerly waiting to express
Itself from the very center of your being.
17
I am the Resurrection and the Life
- You must become consciously aware of It, and, when you
are consciously aware of It, then you will experience It in every
cell of your body, in your surroundings, in your friends, in your
business place, your home – all can be filled with It. And there
is nothing that can withstand It. It is so solid in Its nature that It
interpenetrates every single particle of substance that exists in the
Universe. It supports the whole Universe, and It gives breath and
life: “I am the Life and Love.”
- All your thoughts of Love and Healing sent out even without
any special direction are caught up in the stream, and they
help All Remember, nothing is lost in this world of thought
charged with Love.
- Space is a wrong idea; it belongs to separation, but in
Reality there is no separation.
- Let your hearts and minds rest undisturbed in the realization
of the Omnipresence of God. Even the child will come to
know that there is no space or distance, for you all dwell in God
and there is absolutely nothing outside God.
- By my own experiences I have found that the flesh changes
through the conscious awareness of the Divine Essence of Love.
It is the Power that creates all things and attracts everything
to It.
- For God, who made the world and all things therein, and
who is the Lord of Heaven and Earth, does not dwell in temples
made with hands; neither is He ministered unto by human hands,
nor is He in need of anything; for it is He who gave Life and
breath to all men.
- And He has made of one blood all nations for to dwell on
the face of the Earth, so that they should seek and search after
God and find Him by means of His Love and His Creations.
- He is not far from anyone of you. For in Him all live and
move and have their being, and, as some of your wise men have
said, II all are His kindred”. Yes, when you have seen me you have
seen the Father.
- There is no mystery about these words when you thoroughly
18
I am the Resurrection and the Life
understand them. The mystery disappears when they are understood.
- There cannot be one particle of substance that is not of God.
Every particle in the whole Universe must be of God, for it is God
alone who is expressing Himself; and I and the Father are one,
there is no separation between us.
- Now therefore, man, being of the family of God, is not
bound to worship resemblances made of gold or silver or stone
shaped by the skill and knowledge of man into resemblances of
the Deity. Yet, when men heard of the resurrection of the dead,
they mocked.
- Understand that the great Truth of the Omnipresence, the
Omnipotence, and the Omniscience of God, is complete. Know
that it is He who lives, and He alone lives, in every living thing
because He created all of them and He could not live apart from
His Creations, for He is omnipresent.
- If His Creations were in any way separated from Him, He
could not be infinite in nature, He could not be complete in
Himself. Every Creation was created with the fundamental principle
of Love harmonizing every action, bringing into manifestation
His Divine Nature. And when man becomes aware of
this Truth, then shall man create in himself the reflection of that
perfect Divinity which will bring about his Heaven on Earth.
- And they mocked because they heard of the resurrection of
the dead. Yet how could there be anything dead in the living
Universe? How could there be anything dead in the Eternal
Living God? Admittedly there is change taking place everywhere,
but there is nothing dead in that change; every particle is a living
particle which changes from one form to another. What ignorant
man sees is death; what the enlightened man sees is the action of
Life. Ignorant man does not understand the law of transition
from one state to another; therefore man creates in his own mind
the illusion he calls death.
- Not one particle of the whole Universe is dead; every
particle is alive, existing in God. Every particle, even in its process
19
I am the Resurrection and the Life
of change, is a living expression of Life. And the fundamental
principle under it all is the power of Love flowing from the
Central Font of Love to Its smallest Creations.
- Your sense-mind would cloud or hide the vision, the vision
of the completeness of that which is Divine in nature.
- But now you are in the secret place of the most High, and
He shall wipe away all tears from your eyes, and there shall be no
more death, neither shall there be any more pain, for the former
things pass away.
- “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end; I will
give freely of the fountain of living water to him who is athirst. I
am in myself the beginning and the end. I am He whom the
prophets have spoken of, I am the Lord, the Christ that dwells in
each and everyone of you, and there is no separation between us;
yet you have placed me so far away beyond your reach.”
- In your own minds you have thought me unattainable, yet
I am living in the secret chambers of your hearts urging you continuously
to recognize me.
- This is the Christ that is born in the human family, the
Christ that is born in every babe. It is the Christ that is eternal and
lives after so-called death. It is the Christ in you that shall live
forever.
- Even as the rivers flow out and refresh the earth, so can you
release that stream of Eternal Life into the outer. The unseen
Spiritual Substance is alone substantial and is the only Reality
that can be expressed in your personal life now.
- Your consciousness is the reflection of It; your consciousness
in the material or physical is the reflection of this Eternal Life
expressing Itself; and as you become more aware of It, It becomes
more real to you.
- The brain, the nervous system, and the flesh of the body
become filled with It. It raises the vibration of your mind to a
state beyond your earthly existence. Yes, in time It will transform
the body to make it that perfect instrument, for the Divine in
nature is the only Reality.
20
I am the Resurrection and the Life
- Use every opportunity to express that which you know. Let
your love flow out and bless every brother, every sister, so that all
your divisions will be swept away by the ocean of Love welling
up in human hearts and lives. When you bless a brother and a
sister with this love, in and out of your own being flows the
Christ Life and Love.
- Do not in any way disregard the Truths that are written in
the New Testament. If you express that which is true, you will
also become true. Your true nature is Divine: let this nature
become yours now, because now is Eternity, every moment of Life
is now. Therefore remember not the past, nor be anxious for the
future; the future is taken care of, by you living now.
- You must all come to the understanding of the Omnipresence
that fills all space, knows nothing of past or future but is eternally
present – the same yesterday, today and forever.
- When you begin to know that all time is the present you
cease to “long”, you cease to long for things to come, and a great
strain drops from you. How many of you are straining today?
Because you are not living in the Omnipresence that is omnipresent.
You live in a past and a future and miss the glorious
expression of the Divine Life now.
- Peace will come into your souls; things that troubled you
before will no longer beset you. You will not be burdened with
the things of the world because you will know that all that is
mine is thine.
- Spirit is all power, and directs all things; but if you stand on
the outside looking in, then there is no possibility of your ever
partaking of the feast spread before you; but if you will come
inside, you can partake of the feast now and there will never be
any other time but now.
- When you gain this understanding, you eager souls – who
feel that you must accomplish so much in a given time – will
come to know that Love and service are pleasure and rest.
- These words seem strange to you at first because you do
not understand them. To rest in the Lord means to be always with
21
I am the Resurrection and the Life
the Lord; and as the Lord is the supreme expression of the
Almighty, knowing this, there is no fear, there is no doubt, and
Life becomes a joy.
- Only when you are burdened with the cares of the world is
there sorrow. Lift up your hearts and rejoice in the fact that your
Father knoweth what you are in need of and has prepared everything
for you; the table is already set. You can come into the feast
now if you will, and partake of all that you are capable of; the
only thing that is necessary is your capacity to receive.
- You will renew your energies and unfold wider avenues for
further experience, with a sense of peace and quiet that comes
from that which does not consider time or space as an essential
factor; for It knows no time or space, being ever-present and
eternal.
- To live in the spiritual is to live in Reality, not spasmodically
and in limits. How can there be any time or space in
Infinity? Know that you live in the Mind of God that fills all
space, for there is nowhere where It is not.
- If you truly know that you are the Christ of God that exists
eternally and is ever-present, the animating and Creative Power
within the mind, then there can be no time or space.
- You can reach the state where there is no time or space and
enter into the completeness of the Lord thy God, that dwells in
your soul; the Lord is the only Power there is. I am the Lord.
- “Love” is the eternal ever-present and glorious Life now,
which is a rest and a joy, a satisfaction too full to make you look
backward or forward when you know that Love is the ever present
Life now. The soul who has realized this moves in the
sufficiency of the Presence, that is ever active in the present and
never in the past or future.
- Think over this carefully, so that your joy may be full.
“I am” the ever-present Love. It was this Love that I saw so
clearly. I knew that God was Love, and to be His Son, then I must
be Love also. I found there could be nothing else for me but Love,
and no matter what was done to me, I still knew that I must
22
I am the Resurrection and the Life
remain the Son of God, the ever-present perfect LOVE that knew
no past or future, no sin or death.
- “Lazarus come forth,” was to speak from the Spiritual
plane, realizing only the ever-present Life. If you can understand
these words, you will realize the Life that is eternal and ever present.
You can also speak the Word, if your consciousness can
grasp the Reality of It; and what you speak shall manifest because
it is created in the now.
- You are affected by suggestions that come from without,
suggested by the conditions surrounding you; you believe in
death and decay; but in Reality there is no death nor decay, there
is only change, and this is Life. If you could see this ever-present
Life behind all change and become consciously aware of It, then I
say that every particle of your whole body would be filled with It.
- “I am” the Lord, “I” change not. Open your eyes and see
within yourselves this mighty Truth.
- You can be just as much of God as you are prepared to
manifest. Christ, the Son of God, in the heart of humanity reaches
out to man, urging him to awaken to his Divine Consciousness:
for the Christ in each and everyone is alive forever. There is
eternal peace in the heart as you recognize this Truth.
- “I am the Lord thy God. I am one with the Father, the Father
and I are never apart, we are always working together in you.”
- The seven acts of Christ become actual to you now, at this
moment, instead of belonging to a past period. The Christ experiences
the birth of life in the temple that is not made with hands.
- The symbol of the divine child in the arms of Mary, the
Mother, is but the symbol of the Christ being born in every babe.
The Father is individualized in each and everyone, thus manifesting
the birth of Christ the Eternal Son of God into earthly life.
- Look around you and look at each other and say, “Whence
did you come?” Only the Father knoweth.
- The anointing is the consecrating of the life to God. Then
cometh the awakening of the Christ in the temple that is made by
God alone.
23
I am the Resurrection and the Life
- According to your realization the Christ manifests in you:
so do you consecrate your life to God.
- Then comes the temptation. Temptation was in the world
for Christ to overcome: “I have overcome the world.”
- The crucifixion means that everyone is crucified. All must pass
through their own gates of Gethsemane; some pass through it one
way, some another. Thus you are purified through your experience.
- The greatest of all experiences was that I could lay down
my life through the crucifixion to take it up again, not for my own
benefit but for the benefit of all who live. ” … And those who
believeth in me will never die,” for they have already found the
secret of Eternal Life.
- Then comes the resurrection, the resurrection of the soul
out of this mortal body. The Christ is the spirit of God manifesting
in the flesh; the ascension is the true recognition of this
Reality, the true realization of the Eternal Christ.
- The Christ is in you, and nothing can avail from without;
the evolution of the one Soul exalts the whole Race, that they may
all be one.
- The complete understanding of time as the only present
factor, with neither past nor future, would remove false ideas and
inherited ills. Only the good that man does has any vitality. Then
cease to uphold the working-out of ignorance and sin, and things
of the past.
- Most people’s minds are overburdened with the power of
sin. The ignorance in the world and the sin in the world are all
they can see. You cannot see the Christ through ignorance and
sin. You can only see the Christ through the Love of God; the
complete and perfect expression of the Father of Love is His Son,
who lives forever in the present.
- I am the Son of God through Love. So also must you
become the sons and daughters of God through Love. In no other
way can you become true sons and daughters of God.
- You are born sons and daughters of God because Christ the
Spirit of God is in you. When Christ is realized you will know
24
I am the Resurrection and the Life
yourself to be. Then the flood of Love flows through the heart that
understands; this is beyond the conception of any human soul
that has not yet awakened.
- In your physical sense you make both good and evil seem
of equal power. This is but theorizing with mortal sense, it is not
the truth of Reality.
- In God there is neither good nor evil: God is the complete
perfect expression now. If you say that the omnipresent God is
good and that evil exists also, then your reason is at fault – how
can evil exist in the omnipresent good?
- Your misconceptions cause you to believe that evil exists.
Do not theories, but allow the Love of God to express Itself
through you; and you will find that that which makes you fear,
that which hinders your true expression, will dissolve away into
nothingness – where it belongs. Think, and you will see that it is
in your own mind that you are creating fear and evil; for it does
not and cannot exist in the Omnipresence of God.
- Love is the only reality and is ever present; then realize that
this Ever-present is Eternity, free from all conditions.
- Darkness is but the absence of light. When your hearts are
full of Love there can be no darkness in the soul, for Love is the
Light of the world. Truth is the search for the Light of the world;
“Love” is the first Cause, and when you find this Truth you have
found everything. As Love casteth out fear, so does Love cast out
all that is contrary to the true nature.
- Fear is a thought-power generated by the self through lack
of understanding and has the temporary effect of interrupting the
flow of Life through the soul and body.
- Would you fear if you knew that you were the Lord? Would
you fear if you knew that the Christ was your Real Self? Would
you fear if you knew that God alone existed and it was He who
was expressing Himself, and that you, His Creation, could never
be separated from Him?
- Look to the Cross and see what lesson it brings you. Would
you deny the Father, even though you were scourged and crucified
25
I am the Resurrection and the Life
with nails through hands and feet? Your only strength lies in Him
who is with you always, who created you like unto Himself –
LOVE.
- Fear has the effect of changing the body through clericalization;
but to overcome these conditions you apply the antidote
of Love, the only permanent power in the Universe.
- Every thought, every movement, every action has a chemical
change upon the body. You are continuously changing your
body structure through fear and anxiety; this is inharmony. But
Love is harmony and healing for soul and body.
- Love is the power that overcomes all things and is working
through all Nature. God is expressing Himself, sustaining the
body, the temple not made with hands.
- When you let go of your fears you will find that your
God-nature will bring back the normal state of the body, which is
harmony.
- Nothing has been brought into being except through the
Christ. As John said, the Word was with God and the Word was
God, and the Word was made flesh; and only through that Word
did everything come into being. I am that Word, I am the Word of
God, I am the Life, I am the Lord.
- See clearly this truth in yourselves, knowing that that
which is possible to me is also possible to you if you will believe
in me.
- Peace and calm will come into your hearts when you know
that you are passing through all the stages of the Christ from the
birth to the Ascension.
- Love is Power and Life’s true expression. Love pours forth
from Its fountain in one continuous stream and is the only Power
there really is.
- Love is the Life Energy passing through the body. Love is a
passion of great power in the heart. Love is the protective agency
in every living soul. Love flows through all planes of being; Love
is the foundation of all Divine action and is the salvation of the
Race.
26
I am the Resurrection and the Life
- When you realize that this Love is within yourselves, then
the mighty Power grows from within you. No Power comes from
without.
- Love pours forth from Its Source in one continuous stream
and is the only Real Power there is; the soul, and body, are sustained
by It.
- It is the rapture in the heart, the protector of the soul and
body. All Divine action is based upon the Love of God.
- All are subject to the Divine; the more you know this, the
more like God you become. All are subject to the same power, for
there is no other power but the Power of the Infinite Living Life.
Therefore the Omnipresence of His Divine Nature is a Reality.
- Love is the only Power that exists in the whole Universe:
everything responds to It. Flowers, animals, humans and angels
all respond to Love’s adoration.
- Love being God, It must be the greatest power there is.
Love harmonizes everything. Love cannot be separate from anything
in Nature, for It is the cause behind all true manifestation,
and will remain when all other conditions are removed.
- Do not think that the Father has left you when you find
yourself in distress. He is making you more perfect, a more
perfect instrument through which He can manifest His Creative
Power.
- Ignorance has no principle in itself, just as error has no
principle. Mathematics has a principle, but error can have none;
for when the error is corrected it disappears, therefore you learn
that ignorance and error have no power of their own.
- The Prophet wrote in Proverbs, “My son, eat this honey
because it is good, and this honeycomb which is sweet to thy
taste; so shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul, when
thou hast found it; then there shalt be reward and thy expectations
shall not be cut off.”
- Love is the secret balm that all can use, the learned and the
untutored, the wise and the foolish. It speaks all languages, and
It is the soul’s heaven of rest.
27
I am the Resurrection and the Life
- The position you hold in the world means nothing. What
means most to you is your capacity to receive and give Divine
Love, the true expression of God Himself.
- God is Spirit, and Spirit is Life; Life is Love; and Love is the
vital force in all things; It is the harmony in all things; then we
must worship in Love if we would attain a consciousness of God.
- Idols and images are but symbols in the mind and we gain
little from them; we must realize the Love of God. Christ is the
Spirit of God, and has been given all power in Heaven and Earth
through Love.
- People are mystified by the healings that took place two
thousand years ago, but there is very little difference in the healings
that take place in your midst today; the only difference is the
fact that it may be a different personality used. But it is the same
Christ that heals.
- The Real is the Principle of Love. God made the Universe
by pure thought, positive and creative, which is the expression of
His Nature, “Love”. Then Love is the union between God and
mankind. This Divine Energy is the eternal link that holds us fast
to Him who made us in His own image and likeness.
- So mankind becomes the vehicle for the expression of Love,
and this is the true science of Living.
- As we gaze upon the Fountain of Love, God’s nature
becomes our nature. What I see the Father do, I do likewise. It is
no longer strange to you now, that my thoughts become the healing
power that changes the ether of disease and death to that of
Health and Life.
- By the power of the holy thought your bodies will also be
changed from carnal flesh to spirit form.
- All are sons and daughters of God by birth, and all become
sons and daughters of God through understanding and Love.
There is nothing so great in the heart of man as the expression of
his Christ nature: there is no greater power in all the world. By
Love I heal, by Love I live.
- Through true understanding the Truth is revealed – that
28
I am the Resurrection and the Life
we are all sons and daughters of God; and from this point alone
you become a greater civilization upon the Earth.
- The Love of God through the Christ must dwell in each
and every one of you. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His
righteousness, and everything else shall be added unto you.
- And when you pray, believe you have received that which
you have asked for, and ye shall have it. When you ask, ask in the
Mind of God; it is then established in the Spirit, and what is established
in the Spirit must come forth in form, provided you make
yourself receptive to it through understanding Faith.
- You shall all gain your inheritance, even in the darkness
that surrounds you; for the Light that lighteth the world is within
yourselves and can never be extinguished.
- We are all joint heirs to all that is God’s when we attain to
an understanding heart full of Love. “Son, thou art ever with me;
all that is Mine is Thine.”
- Through my lips, to unawakened Earth comes the Trumpet
of Truth. The Lord thy God is One Lord, and this is the Infinite
Spirit within all mankind.
- I am the Light of the world; he who follows me will never
walk in darkness; he will enjoy the Light of Life.
- The Pharisees said, “You are testifying to yourself; your
evidence is not valid.” Is it not the same today?
- I replied to them, “Though I do testify to myself, my evidence
is valid, because I know where I have come from and where I am
going to – whereas you do not know where I have come from or
where I am going to. You judge by the outside. I judge no one;
and though I do judge, my judgement is true, because I am not by
myself – there is myself and the Father who sent me.”
29
I am the Resurrection and the Life
PEACE AND LOVE BE WITH YOU
o Eternal Father of Love, we rejoice in Thy Presence.
We know Thou art with us always, and we can never be apart from Thee.
We are expressing Thy Life and Love.
Thou didst send me into this world to prepare others for that which is to come.
And they shall become Thy angels to administer to others Thy Love.
This is the joy of Life; let this joy be theirs, as it is mine for ever and ever.
Make it their watchword in the morning, noon and night, so that they shall
always be at peace.
Even if ignorance darkens the light of Thy Presence, help them see the Divine
Truth:
“[ am the Lord; I have been given power and dominion over all things.”
Thy Peace [ leave with them, for Thy Peace is eternal, and as they seek It so
shall they find It.
Amen
(The Scribe’s Remarks:
This was the first talk to us by the Master. Those present were
amazed beyond words, for most had never before seen a transfiguration.
A shaft of light shone from above, lighting up the
auditorium, and the face of the Master was clearly seen; and
those who witnessed it were different henceforth.)
