CONTAINING quotations from our replies to those writing us for help in their Spiritual problems. Each day at 12 o’clock noon, we take the names of those asking for such help in the Silence of the Spirit, and “Speak the Word” for them. Many hundreds have testified to receiving the blessings of such ministry.

YOUR KIND letter received, and because of your earnest desire for light on the subject of God and the Soul, we will try to help you surmount the difficulty that seemingly stands in the way.

First, we would like to have you read the article entitled THE HIERARCHY OF POWERS in our September INNER LIFE, which will show you that while there is one Absolute Being Whom we call God, there are many lesser Divine Beings Who are Gods to the Universes or Solar Systems which They rule, and Who include in Their Consciousness all things and beings that are a part of Their Systems or Universes, in such a way that they can truly say, “In Him we move and have our being.”

Therefore, the God of our Solar System, Who is in very truth God to us, actually a Divine Being so sublime in His great Wisdom, Love, and Power, that all humanity, as well as those who have evolved beyond humanity, are ever striving to come into conscious Oneness with Him. For we are His creations and must some day be redeemed by Him, until there is no more sense of separation, but all are truly One in Him. Some day in a far distant aeon, He likewise will become One with His Father God, a far Greater Being in some vaster System beyond our comprehension.

We need only look up into the heavens at night and see the infinite number of stars, planets, suns and universes, to realize the magnitude of Divine Consciousness and all the wondrous mansions in the Heavenly Kingdom of the many Gods and lesser Gods that must be a part of the Absolute Consciousness. This would then explain to you, how we, as human souls, are on our return journey to our Father’s Home—the Consciousness of Him Whose outer semblance is our Sun; and will also perhaps enable you to see that there are those souls that have preceded us in far earlier eons and have attained to the exalted stage of Sons of God—have actually become One in Consciousness with our Father God, and who, when that stage is reached, are required to go back and redeem their past mistakes in their former world period.

Try to realize that there is no difference between a Son of God, a Son of Mind, and the Higher Self. They are all the same Ray of God, or His Holy Spirit, Whose Light is the light which Lighteth every man in the world. In other words, the Higher Self of every man is one of these Rays of God, and is actually One with God, participating always in His Consciousness, having perfect One of His Wisdom, Love, and Power for the redeeming of all on this planet earth.
