THE RESURRECTION
“…I, If I Be Lifted Up, Shall Draw All Men Unto Me.”
OUR GROUP was in the stillness; a stillness that made us One. We all had attained to the same realization. After the meditation our leader asked each one what she had received.
One had been impressed with the words, “I, If I be lifted up, shall draw all men unto me.”
Another saw streamers of color passing through the earth to and fro, weaving in and out, changing, transmuting and regenerating all personalities and conditions.
Another saw a healing Angel working with the multitude, with beautiful music accompanying It.
The following was my own experience, and because it was a representation of universal truth, it seemed to apply to all of humanity, so I am sending it to you knowing the great encouragement it will be to others.
Immediately I stilled my mind a beautiful Cross of Light of huge proportions completely covered a great desert-place. The setting sun cast its colors upon the Cross as though in benediction, but at its setting the Cross radiated a white light tinged with violet.
From all directions came many people, our group among them, clad in beautiful, filmy garments of a substance not of earth. We all wore burnooses over our heads of the same substance.
We prostrated ourselves, eyes upon the Cross, arms outspread in complete surrender, open channels through which the Christ Power might flow. The act was one of sacrifice as well as surrender, the sacrifice of personality.
Then the Cross rose upright, ascended into the air until the foot of it was over the top of the earth or the north pole. It then took the form of the Christ, not a picture of Jesus as a bearded man, but a Great Being which I was told is called the Heavenly Man.
An intense radiance, due to the soft, life-giving light of which the Being was composed, enveloped all, swallowed up everything or absorbed it into Itself.
After the absorption of all the disciples into the Great One, It, the Christ Being merged into the earth through the top or the north, and then It seemed to lift and hold it up, Its outstretched arms and hands acting as its supports.
The fires of Hell rose around Its feet in swirling spirals of flame, to be immediately transmuted into spiritual power when the flame reached the heart of the Christ or Love.
Those at the feet of the Christ were unharmed by the flames, but they were purified and their understanding became perfect. The disciples composing the Heart of the Christ were conscious of the flames surrounding those at the feet just for the purpose of radiating love, strength and understanding to them.
The disciples forming the great arms reached out to all the centers of the earth, giving their support, strength, and protection.
Those who had been swallowed up spoke with a “Great Voice,” words of Wisdom always working with the Love from the heart. There was a decided current of Love going from the heart to the throat, and one from the throat to the heart, forming a complete circuit within the Being, giving Its Words enormous power for good.
These words, always living, vibrating Light, are everlasting. They are the awakened souls serving Christ throughout the universe, whether manifesting in bodies or without bodies.
Through the top of the head of the Heavenly Man poured a continuous current of Spiritual Light, the ruling principle of the universe, the God-Head or the Divine Will.
The earth of land and water was transformed into a globe of scintillating Light, which had been the Great Being, made up of all the lesser Beings who had entered It.
After the perfection of the earth, I was conscious of the “City Foursquare,” with beautiful white structures, schools, colleges, laboratories, etc., all formed to serve humanity.
I found myself in a laboratory working by the side of my husband, he contributing all of the knowledge he had acquired through his conscious mind, and I allowing my inner impressions to guide us both, giving us a perfect understanding of that which we were investigating. Many other husbands and wives were working together in the same way. Great inventions were perfected. In the schools an entirely new system of instruction was in operation. The children were taught how to draw knowledge and constructive ideas from the Inner Self.
We were all giving of our selves, without a thought of gain, securely housed in this Globe of Light, while without raged battle, greed and death. We knew the victory would be certain. We were conscious of being a part of the Great White Brotherhood of Christ.
I feel this experience is an accurate account of what is taking place throughout the earth at the present time.—L. F.

THE GREAT REBIRTH
I ALONE AM! I alone AM!
Through all the numberless ages,
I ALONE AM!
I alone AM! I alone AM!
Know This, when turbulence rages:
I ALONE AM!
Now I send MY Great Thought-Army over all the world,
Go, Beloved, carry high MY Shining Flag unfurled!
Wear the Armor of the Light,
Crystal-clear and dazzling bright!
Wield the Mighty Sword of Flame!
Glorify MY Holy Name!
NOW against the seeming power of darkness I AM hurled!
I alone AM! I alone AM!
In every atom of the earth,
I ALONE AM!
I alone AM! I alone AM!
In all I AM the Great Rebirth!
I ALONE AM!
—Margaret Blandy Mitchell
