Father in Heaven, a Son of God, come to possess thee and to be One with thee henceforth.

When thou growest strong enough to bear it ye will then know that thy Father and I and thou art One in Christ—the Great Love, and that God is All that we are.

==== THE PATH ====
(A Vision)

By Peter Lion

’Twas a ladder I saw
\\ Erected, to draw
\\ My thoughts toward the life above.
\\ As I gazed, there appeared
\\ On each stanchion upreared
\\ This word—in big letters—LOVE.

Then a voice cried “Attend!
\\ Ye who would ascend
\\ This ladder, must each pay the price.
\\ Note well then ye brave!”
\\ And there flashed on each stave
\\ In big letters, “SACRIFICE.”

I replied “O friend stay!
\\ Tell me an easier way.
\\ To climb this means pain, grief and loss.”
\\ Then transcendently bright,
\\ There burst on my sight
\\ A vision of Christ on the cross.

O speechless rebuke
\\ Was his agonized look.
\\ List! “Father, Thy will, not My own.”
\\ Then the ladder returned.
\\ And this lesson I learned,
\\ BY THE CROSS IS THE PATH
\\ TO THE CROWN.
\\ —From The Aquarian Age.
