“If you are a member of some order, think of the change of feelings that took place when you became a member, and observe also those that are active members of some of these orders, and you will be made to realize what that spirit of brotherly friendship means. This brotherly friendship should be realized in a greater measure when you have entered into covenant with Yahveh Elohim and have been consciously accepted as a member. This spirit of brotherly friendship should be cultivated and should be kept in mind.
When cultivating it, do not forget that while they are your Brethren, they are your elder Brothers, and that you are but a child. They are Masters and your teachers; therefore, they should be held in greatest reverence. You should try to realize also that the greatness, the grandeur, the God-power and all the wonderful attributes that you have heretofore attributed to God, are embodied in this wondrous Brotherhood and expressed through them.
When you realize these facts in all their greatness, the things of the world will sink into insignificance; all relationships of an earthly existence will appear of very little importance. The petty evils that have harassed you in the past will seem so ridiculous that you will be lifted above them all, and placed upon a plane of consciousness, so superior to anything that you have ever known, that you will then realize what the Lord meant when he said, “Be ye therefore perfect even as your Father in heaven is perfect”; then you will know what it means to ask and to receive; for you will not ask of your Brethren, Yahveh Elohim, anything that you can do for yourself. If you should feel the need of wisdom, of power, of knowledge, or of any material thing, then you can go to the Father, Yahveh Elohim, who is truly your Father as well as your Brethren, and make known your wants, and they will be granted immediately.
Suppose you have a message for the enlightenment or salvation of a person or a people, wisdom will cause you to realize that you cannot grasp the innermost needs of that people perfectly, neither is the human mind capable of correctly forming the thought so as to meet the requirements of the occasion, therefore it is well, under such circumstances, to call on Yahveh Elohim as on a loving faithful brother, for wisdom, knowledge and power, that you may lead the person, or people to a knowledge of the truth, then go forward fearlessly; and you will always find that the angel of the Lord will be present with you, and that wisdom, knowledge, and power, so far transcending your own, will be manifested through you, that your admiration, your deepest gratitude and affection will be called forth.
Remember the words of the Psalmist, “He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.” The foregoing is a suggestion and only a suggestion, a truth so far as it goes, for your mind to take hold of, to think about, and to desire earnestly to know and to realize. If we have succeeded in turning your face in the right direction, then we can say with perfect confidence, Go forward, knowing that the angel of Yahveh will ever be near you, and an Infinite Fountain of knowledge and wisdom will ever be accessible to you.”
