The Inner Life
THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | FEBRUARY 1936
whose consciousness is centered in the soul—no longer in the mind, and lighted by Divine Love.
All who are in that Consciousness are wholly one with their Brothers in Christ and dwell in the Heavenly Jerusalem. They are those who comprise the General Assembly, the Church of the First Born, and are the spirits of Just Men made Perfect. In other words, this assembly of Christed Souls constitute the Order of Melchizedek, which is ruled over by Jesus Christ, Who as King-Priest, is King of Righteousness, also King of Salem, which means King of Peace, and Who was a High Priest forever of this Sacred Order.
You who read and who have been lifted up in consciousness to where you see the glory of the Christ Life, and now nothing less than that will ever satisfy your soul;
You who are no longer seeking Masters or other Teachers, and never will be content until you are wholly One with your Divine Self, conscious as a Son of God, and doing the work you came here to do;
You who have already found and are being daily taught by the Loving Christ within, who live in His Presence, and allow Love often to possess and wholly use you;
Know that you are potential members of and are being prepared for admittance into the Order of Melchizedek.
But remember what that means and all that it entails and includes; it means the complete crucifixion of self, the ability to meet every trial and test no matter what it be, even as Jesus did, and to rise at will into your true consciousness as a Son of God and to work from there when the need arises.
In that consciousness you will in time become conscious of your Brothers in Christ, the fellow members of your Order, and you will work as One with Them. In that consciousness, nothing you need to know or to have will be withheld from you, for all that is necessary is to desire to know or to have, to focus your mind on the thought of it, and the knowing and the having will flow into your mind as a memory recalled—and it will be so to you.
In that consciousness likewise all power is yours, for you need but to start to do anything and the power will flow to you from within enabling you to do it perfectly.
