Virtue Lights the Way

Virtue Lights the Way

'A New Heaven and A New Earth; for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
'And I, John, saw the Holy City and the New Jerusalem coming down from GOD out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband!
'And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the Tabernacle of GOD is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and GOD Himself shall be with them, and be their GOD!"
Rev. 21:1-2


(FATHER speaks as follows:)

PEACE EVERYONE! Here we all are again; just one eternal day, one eternal time, and yet it is as though it is again -- as though it is a different time when that Message was given. Nevertheless, in the CHRIST Consciousness there is one eternal day, for there is no night there, where CHRIST alone reigns. The Light of this Understanding - - you could say the Light of His Understanding -- will light up the dark pathways wheresoever you are and will turn darkness into bright noon light and wheresoever this Understanding is in evidence the Light never goes out! Then, if the Light does not go out, there is no night there, hence the Light of this Understanding has come to go no more. All doubts and fears must go, all sighs and tears must go, but this Light of Understanding as was given by John in his revelationic prediction, even so re-establish I the same in your consideration! Aren't you glad!

John saw a New Heaven and the New Earth. It was the New Heaven and the New Earth taking place in your suppositional heaven, for that heaven you had been reading about and talking about according to the versions of men, was merely an imagination and the very GOD of Peace, of Whom you imagined you loved so well, was merely a suppositional God according to the versions of men. Therefore, in John's revelationic prediction he declared he

'saw a New Heaven and a New Earth; for the first heaven and the first earth are passed away!'
'I, John," declared he, "saw the Holy City and the New Jerusalem, coming down from GOD out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.'


This was a reality, for it was made real, tangible and practical when GOD tangibilated the fondest imagination of His religiously converted who believed in that imaginary heaven, by bringing it down into materialization into the material world of ours. Can you not see the mystery?

For this cause it is a privilege to realize, that which has been a supposition, all of your fondest imaginations are brought into your recognition and into the conscious realization of men that those things you imagined by your lack of understanding can be made real for the benefit and for the redemption of mankind. Aren't you glad!

You have imagined many things; things were imagined until they were brought into actuality. Every architect, he must draw from his imagination something, to be a real architect, and if he is a true architect he will draw forth that which is in his positive conviction although it is merely a supposition, an imagination in the beginning. But when he draws it out in blue-print he lays the foundation mentally and spiritually that it may be established, as it may be termed. The master mechanical, material builder can take the form and build it thereby. When it is brought into actuality and made a reality, it is no longer imagination, but a living reality, for it has been materially manifested -- it has been tangibilated and brought out of the imaginary realm into the conscious recognition of the children of men because you had not been inspired with him.

You can see a house when it is built. You know what it is, but until then you do not know definitely what it is so long as it is in the imaginary world of expression, so long as it is in the scientific world or world of science, whichever, to be discerned from a scientific point of view. Until it is brought into outer expression and materially manifested to you, if you are not somewhat of an architect, it is not a reality; but when you see it made real, tangible and practical for the benefit of housing yourself and your family, there and then you know definitely that imagination is no longer merely a supposition but a living reality. It is made real, it is tangible, it is practical, for that was the mystery for which you had been seeking, to bring into actuality your fondest imagination, something for your comfort and for your convenience. Can you not see the mystery?

All Christianity; not only the Christian world of religion, but all of the world of religion, has been seeking something from heaven. They all have imagined many things very desirable but the thing was not made real until you could recognize that which had been surmised as a living reality when it was brought down from the imaginary realm, made real, tangible and practical.

By this we have a Righteous Government! By this we have every desirable blessing! I take your supposition and bring it into your recognition by bringing them into the conscious mentality of the children of men, by bringing them into outer expression through materializing that which you had visualized. Can you not see the mystery?

How dare you visualize anything if you do not desire that thing that was a mystery to be made plain, for someone can make the thing plain that was a mystery by your suppositional, superstitious version! Can you not see the mystery?

Then I will bring the mystery, as you hear ME say, out from the mythological world and no longer allow it to be a mystery but allow it to be a reality because GOD tangibilate's it, materializes it and brings it into outer expression, causing it to be observable by all mankind to be living reality, although you first merely imagined it! Can you not see the mystery?

You have been praying and talking about heaven long enough, and keeping your minds in some mythological world of expression through your superstition, failing to realize, your fondest imagination through your superstition, can become to be a living reality because GOD Himself was made Real, Tangible and Practical! Wherein HE was once invisible HE visibilated Himself and made Himself Flesh and dwelt among us, as one said,

'that we might behold His Glory as the glory of the only begotten of the Father, full of Grace and of Truth!'


By this you can see and know just what you should do.

Come out from that superstitious, mythological, imaginary world. Come into the realization of things! Bring all of your energy, your mentality and your ambition down from the mythological heaven to the material plane! Did Jesus not preach you to pray and to ask GOD your FATHER to let His Kingdom come and His Will be done on earth? His Kingdom according to the versions of men has been in a suppositional heaven. That imaginary heaven could not bring forth the desirable results. For this cause you have been taught to pray to let

'Your Kingdom come and Your Will be done",


oh, LORD,

'on earth as it is in heaven!'


Can you not see the mystery?

Now the Kingdom has truly come! I AM bringing all the Attributes, the Characteristics, the Disposition, the Nature and the Spirit and the Mind of the Almighty down from the mythological heaven, from your fondest imagination to your conscious recognition and the realization of millions! Then we are all in heaven!

Oh, it is a privilege to realize you could never, can and will never go above the sky! Not a one of you will ever go above the sky. You need not think you will go there when you die, for you will not get there! Not a one of your mothers nor fathers nor sisters nor brothers nor any of your relatives have ever gone above the sky, for the sky is nowhere and is nothing but everywhere where there is nothing upwards! Can you not see the mystery? Look upward, and wheresoever you see vacant space, matters not how high you may go, you will merely see the sky, but you will never get there! Aren't you glad!

Then I have taken your minds from that superstitional, imaginary heaven and I have taken your thoughts away from that imaginary sky, for it is only an imagination according to the mortal version and according to your human vision that you can see physically from a physical point of view. You see something as if though it is something, but it is nothing! Aren't you glad!

Then I say, you need not try to go up in the sky, for you will never get there! You had just as well to bring all of your energy, your ambition, your mind and your attention, your love and your devotion on the Principle, on the Infinite, on this state of consciousness and bring it into actuality, the state of consciousness, and allow this state of consciousness, the CHRIST Consciousness, to function for you. The CHRIST Consciousness is preparing many beautiful places for you. Aren't you glad!

Truly might have the CHRIST Consciousness said,

'If I go not away the Comforter will not come!'


Aren't you glad!

'But if I go and prepare a place for you I will come again and receive you unto Myself, that where I AM, there may ye be also!'


I have come again and I AM right down here below! Aren't you glad!

Then I say, it is a privilege to live in such a recognition where your conscious recognition of GOD'S Presence is a Living Reality! It is verified by the tangibilization and the personification of His Presence. That is the mystery! Aren't you glad! When you bring all of your powers and all of your energy, all of your mind and all of your attention, all of your love and all of your devotion and correct it, or correct yourselves with it in the Positive state of consciousness as being the CHRIST Consciousness and allow the CHRIST Consciousness to function for you, matters will be adjusted satisfactorily and you will live on earth in heaven!

By this we shall have a Righteous Government! Aren't you glad! There are so many Blessings you cannot think about them all! They go into infinitude, the end you cannot vision but you can enjoy as many as you are receiving!

Then I say, live it and give Praise and Thanks for the Blessings but cease to look up in the sky for heaven! You will never get there! NOW TELL THEM I SAID IT! Tell all who may criticize My Statement, I said you will never get to heaven in that suppositional heaven you have been thinking about, for it was only a supposition, only an imaginal heaven -- it was not a reality!

When you bring all of your energy, your mentality, your ambition, your mind and your attention to the earth plane and use it constructively and evangelically, why, there and then by letting this Mind be in you that was also in CHRIST JESUS, things will work harmoniously for you. You will get harmonious results for all you say and for all you do, the same as you had surmised you would get in heaven when you got there. Aren't you glad! Then I say, live in this recognition, and when this is done, the heaven of which I AM preparing, the CHRIST Consciousness among this people, will adjust matters satisfactorily for you and people will live whole-heartedly, soberly, righteously and Godly in this present world according to the Epistle as it has been declared. Aren't you glad!

You will not look any longer to go to heaven, for your ambition and your mind and your attention will be concentrated on the Fundamental, and being conscious of the Fundamental being ever-present, you will not have any need to go to heaven for GOD is with you now, henceforth and forever! Aren't you glad!

Then I say, live in this recognition, build upon this Foundation, be substantiated in Faith and unshaken in confidence and lo, I will be with you now, henceforth and forever! I mean in this advanced Light of Spiritual Understanding that will light up your dark pathway of misunderstanding and will give you your Real Emancipation from all superstition, from all misunderstanding and from all of the delusions of the polluted world from when you came. Aren't you glad!

I need not say more, for I AM speaking in Deeds, I AM speaking in Actions, I AM speaking My Mysteries in My actuated Words of expression and I AM causing men to walk in My Statutes automatically!

Then I say, it is better to be put forth into expression psychologically, mentally and spiritually and through mental telepathy, so they can get it effectively, than for ME to tell you Personally, for it is better revealed than told. If I tell you Personally you may think I AM trying to put something over on you, but if I tell you through mental telepathy, through the Spirit mentally, spiritually and psychologically, why, then you know it is GOD telling you! Can you not see the Mystery?

Take these thoughts to consideration; build upon this Foundation and I will reveal more and more daily as you allow ME to, and the mystery of GOD will be more distinctly revealed to you and you will be able to see ME as I AM, also tell the story, saved by Grace! I thank you.

PEACE EVERYONE! That little thought I just conveyed a moment ago, there may be a question in the consideration of some of My hearers whether the statement is true or not, when I said, you will never go to heaven above the sky. What said Jesus concerning the mystery? I speak unto you as unto Christians, yea, as unto Christendom. Jesus said,

'No man has ascended up to heaven but He that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which art in heaven.'


The Son of man Who was and Who is in heaven; He Himself did not go up to heaven neither came down from heaven according to the superstitions and imaginations of the superstitious! Can you not see the mystery?

'No man has ascended up to heaven but He that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven!'


These are Gospel quotations and as to believers in the Gospel especially I quote:

'No man has ascended up there but HE that came down, even the Son of Man!'


Then I say, you need not think you can go up there, for up there is limitless space, and yet you will not get to the sky if you go and go a million years at the rate of one hundred and eighty-six thousand miles per second!

You can start from here at the rate of One Hundred and Eighty-six Thousand Miles per second if you could; you could go only in that direction or in that pace of speed and be going One Million Years, yea, One Billion Years, unless you run in collision or collide with some other planet, you would still find space, limitless and empty space continually, and would not get to the sky!

Now tell any wise man, any astronomer or any man of science or any one of the religious world, I said it! If they desire to criticize it now, let them try to measure arms with ME! I thank you.
