“We are depending on your Light to raise you still higher, and instead of seeking or staying at the level you are in now, rather raise your Ideals of Perfection and attain to the Greater Victory.
Then you may be a Raising Power for the mass of mankind’s feelings through their attention, because when your Light reaches a certain point, your body begins to outpicture the greater youth and beauty, and you have more and more opulence.
When your magnificent “I AM” Music comes forth, and your “I AM” Temples, they will have such beauty as will astonish mankind, being far in advance of anything you have in outer buildings today. Then mankind’s attention will be upon you all! They eyes of the world will be upon you, and that is your opportunity.
While much of this will be from curiosity, yet a great deal of it will be Life’s natural drawing to the Light, which automatically raises everything up and into Itself, to become Its Purity and Perfection.
Therefore, yield not to any of the suggestions of the outer world, nor take on any of the habits of slovenly personal tendency or the degraded appearances which have been so rampant in the outer world today.
Rather seek the Higher Standards of Refinement. Be their Greatest Culture and kindly consideration of everyone among whom you move; for then will your Radiance draw forth from within them, the Refinement and Habits of the Higher Mental Bodies, instead of the coarseness of the personal appetites.
We are depending on this, and it is necessary that I remind you of it tonight because the deliberate attempt is being made through many channels to lower the standards of this Nation, especially by drafting women into war.
It is to lower every ideal that heretofore has been the strength of the Nation; and unless the Purity, Refinement, Honesty, Culture, Power, and Victory of Light are held as the Inflexible Standard of a certain proportion of the people, if there is not the Light that holds them and pulls them up, then there is the pull downward, which drags them into disaster.”
Mighty Victory
