The Inner Life

THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | OCTOBER 1934

widened and I was soon enabled to see hundreds of miles to the ends of the earth; in fact I could see the sky and all of the earth melt into a wide bowl. As I watched my vision seemed so clear I could see flanking entirely around the earth a vast army of men in white armour, bare and shining, white helmets, white flashing swords, and all on pure white horses with flowing manes and tails, standing flank to flank—no space between, entirely surrounding the world. They seemingly stood waiting to command to close in on the world. We stood in our peaceful enclosure in the center into which the white robed ones of the earth were to come.

Then suddenly I realized that my Teacher was WITHIN ME all the time, for I could not see him any more (He used always to appear as a Lover, but of late seems to be my inner Self, or another part of me Who is very loving and is teaching and drawing me to Him).

Your being in that enclosure with your Beloved, waiting for the coming of the Great Army of Light, is the present attitude of all our Brothers in Christ here in the flesh today. Of course the Beloved was the Great Love that you felt pouring through into your consciousness from the Christ within, your own Divine Self, but which your mind outpictured first as without, and then, because of Its Power, finally merging you into Its Consciousness.

Your Teacher getting you to look to the horizon and beyond was to show you how, by thus persisting in looking toward the “beyond,” space will be annihilated and you will in time see through into another world—the world of spirit.

EASTER Sunday morning while lying in bed listening to the Sunrise Services in the Park over the radio, I was meditating upon the words of the sermon, when a large white ball of light seemed to form at the farther end of the room. This ball of light was glistening white, and out of it emerged a woman in the form of an Angel, her wings hanging down to the floor. She too was dressed in pure, glistening white, and when she reached the head of my bed, she circled once around the bed, and then from out the white ball came two lines of angel faces (not full forms, just faces), and these two lines joined with the large ball of light to make a circle over me. Then there came also from the same ball of glistening white the Master Jesus, Who walked right into the circle of the Angels and looked at me with a being loving glance that spoke more plainly than words of His deep love. Need I say that it made me very happy and that I shall never forget His look?

The Angels and the Lord Jesus Christ, who came to you Easter morning must have been a very wonderful sight and it must have proved to you that you were indeed surrounded by His Love and that His Angels were ever keeping watch over you. Know this and hold to it, and no matter what happens or appears to trouble in the outer, trust all to it, and you will never have sorrow or trouble.
