fully acquainted with this Self, have been richly rewarded by finding the promises of the Teachings perfectly fulfilled.

In the Teachings was shown that the Divine Self is variously known also as God in man, as the Holy Spirit of God, as the Christ within, as Jesus Christ, as the Light which lighteth every man, as the Comforter, as the Higher Self, and as a Son of God; that these terms are synonymous as used and all mean the Divine Spirit of man which gives him life and which is his true consciousness and nature and is beyond the comprehension of merely mortal mind.

But it is also clearly shown that the sole mission of this Divine Spirit, which as a Son of God is the Higher or Real Self of man descended into human expression, is to redeem man’s mortal consciousness and lift it into oneness with His Divine Consciousness. For humanity’s consciousness is but the consciousness of all the Sons of God’s lower nature, given birth in a former world period before the earth was, and these Sons of God alone are responsible for and must redeem that consciousness. The earth is but the realm in Cosmic Consciousness to which the mass consciousness of humanity has unfolded and through which it is now passing on its return journey to the Sons of God’s Consciousness in the Sun, Their Celestial Home. The full explanation and purpose of this will be found in the Impersonal Teachings.

Our purpose in recounting these facts is to bring out clearly the part that the Sons of God are playing in the destiny of what we know as humanity. From these facts can be seen that the Sons of God are not only responsible for all that humanity is and does, but They are the Source of its guidance and also must be the Source of the Impersonal Teachings, and of all Teachings that point men’s minds to Them and to God Whom They represent on earth. And remember God has never left His children, from the earliest childhood of the race, without Teachings given to them through His Sons of God.

Consider now with us what this means—how it pertains to you who are reading these words. You have a Higher Self who must be one of these Sons of God, and Who is the Source of your life, consciousness and nature—Who is all that you are; for you have no life or consciousness that is not His. Your mortal mind thinks itself separate from Him, when how could it be separate when His Consciousness is all that your mind is? Likewise
