whose glory you may now enter into My Kingdom through the Gate of Love Eternal, which never closes. Drink, all of you; quench your thirst from the Fountain of Abundance, whose water is Life Everlasting, which you will find in the heart of the City. Eat of the fruit from the Tree of Overcoming, which each of you have now won, and be satisfied. Dwell therein and work therein, in My Kingdom; for I am your Guide and Teacher.”

The many became as One, entering in through the Golden Gate, leaving the darkness outside, forgotten as a dream of the night. As we entered the City our sheaves were taken from us by unseen hands, and in a very short time the grain was falling like rain; instantly on reaching the ground it sprouted, grew and became ripened grain again, which a company of people, led by the Master, cut with long scythes of Light.

Then we saw White Birds come and gather up the grain and drop it in mills, where it was ground into flour and then was made into bread, which were all told to eat. As we were eating, a very large black bird hovered above us. No one seemed to fear, as in silence we ate our bread.

Then the Voice said, “Stand up, look up; that the Light of your newly ascended Consciousness may destroy the darkness which hovers over the world.”

As we all stood and looked up, a brilliant Light emanated from us, completely dissipating the shadow. Sitting down again, as we continued our feast of the Bread of Understanding, soft music and the voices of unseen singers were heard; and other voices breathed these words: “The Morning Star is risen from the tomb of Night.”
