65. Be an Aeolian harp to M's breath. 66. Only later will you realize how gently and lovingly I strive to shorten your journey in the assigned sphere of action. 67. I will grant you the power to lead men's spirits to God. 69. My work permits not frailty; what is sent by Me, take without hesitance. 70. Do not shun friends. In My Name you can enlighten them. Sow the wisdom sent unto you. 71. Expound My Words--I send listeners. Know that by the shortest path I lead you toward knowledge, labor and bliss. I pass among them and they regard Me not. 72. Christ's spirit breathes across the desert of life. Like a spring It wears Its way thru solid rock. In the milky firmament It radiates myriad light; It rises up in flower stem. 73. Erect Thy Altar, O Lord, in our garden. 75. Be strong--your illusions destroy your health, but if you have faith in Me, know you are guarded by M's care and shield. A steep ascent is always difficult. Transcending fate requires fortitude. 78. Naught occurs by accident. 82-3. Your destiny is to bring the inextinguishable Light to ardent hearts. Easy is destruction, but you must build wisely. Know to spread happiness--condemn not. 86-8. True calmness of spirit is tested by daily life's trifles. Know to defend M as I defend you. Realize the ties that bind you to your Guide and naught unworthy will approach you. Love! Discern! Strike evil! My blessings be with you. 91. Sharpen your arrows of energy to one point. One can conceive an electric spark. 92. In the universe all things are but reflection of the divine, in a spark of light the divine plays. Light unto you! 93. Suppress the imperfections of your spirit, and ascend with the sense of spiritual freedom. Be firm in your assertion of inherent joy, and the thread of the path will not break. 95. The needed strength to follow Me is bestowed upon you. Fight in My Name and love will dwell with you. The promise is fulfilled in its cycle. Keep your flame vibrant--I teach. 96. Behold the song celestial. The Teacher is with you every moment of your creative labor. Realize and demonstrate. 97. The spiritual dynamo must act in harmony, then My Currents flow uninterruptedly. Fluctuation of aura causes intermittent waves, constancy of aura assures harmony. The candleflame gives light to all, but smothered under an irritant drop it flickers and must be set aright. 98. Knowledge helps one to avoid danger. The fearless apostle! 99. Mist enfolds the mountain base but the summit is ever bathed in the sun's glory. 100. 15 years must elapse before the result of the flame shows, but light-sparks manifest ere then. 101. Cautious judgment but fosters My Cause. Gather a few who elect and carefully obliterate the calumnies of the unprepared ones. 102. Bliss has departed from many who have rejected it. 103-4. Every event to you is the unfolding page. God knows all realms. 105-6. The unity of nations will come thru battle. Fight wisely now, for Our enemies are also yours. Short is the teaching about men, but long is its comprehension. Show might in battle. I send you My love and strength. And the curtain is torn asunder, the Unknown is revealed. Universal events are interwove with men's lives, and the strings resound complexly; this should not terrify but wing the warriors on. 107. The Teacher adorns your days with laurel and refreshes you with His healing aromas. 108. Fear not inaction; the air is tense and the fiery cross of love covers your battlefield, the song of harmony resounds. Blessed are these who evoke the assaults of the evil ones, attesting the fight for Me. 109. Wonders are manifest in life. Open your eyes, perceive. 110. Not always does the eye perceive the sun's ray, yet does the sun ever warm the Earth. Love's warmth is lavished upon you, your spirit understands not barrenness of soul. 111. Let the unworthy depart. The Plan of the rise of the new race is wisely designed. 112. M fills your being with calm strength. When the stillness of harmony is upon you, the force of the arrows increases. Comprehend the salutary light from the Teacher. 113. Austerly begin the great task. The light of My Banner blesses you and leads you on the path to manifest My Truth. Know to begin--the Teacher knows to send you His shield. I foresee the happy outcome from the fulfillment of My Command. With the seal of Solomon I attest--I gave, I give, I shall give. 114. Be vigilant. My ring seals the happiness of those who spread My Teaching. 116. Men are obdurate on the path to Light. Darkness is more pleasing to moles' eyes, but love and knowledge conquer all. Smile at the difficulties upon your path. I attest, you may conquer! 117. My children, you are unaware of the battle raging round about. But fear not, O heart, you will conquer.
