The Inner Life

THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | APRIL 1933

back and try to redeem myself. I, who wore royal purple, shall be glad to wear cast off clothes; my hands that were soft and white shall be scarred and toil worn from scouring and cleaning; my false pride shall be expiated with a long life of service and humiliation. False pride is one of the most agonizing debts one has to pay.

I come, because from Faith (the name given one of the members), I draw faith in God and humanity; Hope (the name given another member) has shown that light in the distance; and Amaranth (the name given the third member) raised me in pity and compassion when I fell.

Yes, Anthony brought me to all your meetings; not servant now, but my beloved Teacher. I want you to know how you have helped me and that soon I shall be born (again) in a humble home with hardly enough covering for my body—in this town, on this side of the water. My father will be a drunkard, and my mother immoral. Only thus may I come back that I may redeem myself.

My sisters, know from me who shall pay and has paid for this knowledge, that when you deem a thing beneath you, that is what the Law has put in your way to do.

Q. May we be permitted to help you when you come here?

Marah. Not unless the Law puts you in my path. I claim nothing another babe thus born cannot claim.

Q. Wouldn’t you have the subconscious knowledge, thus making you a wonderful soul?

Marah. In time—but when I don the physical, I have the old walls of self to overcome and break down. I shall with suffering and humiliation win through.

Q. When will you be coming to earth?
