This is an anthology of talks given to friends. The subject matter
is wide in scope, and is concerned with the spiritual life and its
recovery as a living power. All the themes are touched upon
elsewhere in the many books produced by the author.
This is the second of two volumes concerned with the infinite
spiritual realms to be found within us. These teachings restate the
traditional Christian message in a way which reveals its essential
spirituality and shows it to be universal in scope. The subject
matter is frequently Biblical in its terminology although the
message it reveals is cosmic in nature and applied to all life.
Here one will find many church events, festivals, practices and
history reinterpreted and shown to be earthly manifestations of
Divine events within the Soul. All of these manifestations are
resident within us as truths to be restored, for we learn that all
Souls have had many lives, and these truths, which are lodged in
our spiritual memory, may be recovered if we seek the life of which
they speak.
This is the first of two volumes dealing with the mystery of our
spiritual constitution, the approach to that mystery and the
description of Divine events within the Soul. We are told how our
spiritual constitution is mirrored in the physical form, its
wonderful organs and its realm of heart and mind -- even its
substances being an accommodated form of spiritual substance. Every
part of the physical vehicle corresponds to a higher function in
the spiritual vehicles through which we also live. So, in searching
for the inner reality, the Spirit or Life-stream, which is love in
its dual flow, is able to move with increasing freedom through the
substance of all our vehicles. Thus love becomes embodied in Life.
This is the mystery of which the Mass speaks, an inner reality, a
continuous process wherein the life of Love takes form.
Many book have been written on the life and work of the one known
as Jesus Christ, usually from an historical, biblical or academic
standpoint -- or a combination of these. This volume belongs in
another context, being an entirely mystical portrayal of that life.
In it we learn that the terms Jesus and Christ refer to no
individual, but rather to states of consciousness, Jesus being the
life of selfless love and Christ, the radiance which that life
brings. All Souls in such estates may truly bear these names, which
are impersonal, for that is what they have become in consciousness.
The chief sayings of the Master, known as Jesus Christ, are
presented here in a new version. This will be of deep interest to
seekers for spiritual truth. The author makes no claim to academic
authority, through this is nevertheless a work of great
scholarship. There are significant variations from traditional
texts, all of them consistent with the book's purpose, which it to
show that the Master's teaching revealed a way if life completely
pure, imbued with compassion for all creation and full of the
healing power of Divine Love. The sayings, however simple, are
profound, because they speak of eternal verities which have
correspondences within every soul, of whatever race of creed.
In this book are the teachings of many Testament prophets, other
than those of Isiah and Ezekiel which are represented in separate
volumes by the same author. These re-interpretations are brought
together from the many writings of the Reverend John Todd Ferrier.
Each prophecy concerns as aspect of the Divine, for the true
prophet is completely identified with the message to be given and
thus bears the name which it symbolises.
Ezekiel's messages concerns the spiritual history of the Planet,
its relationship to the Divine World and the process of its
restoration to its one-time pristine estate. The prophecy opens
with the transcendent vision from the Apocalypse wherein are beheld
the Four Living Ones and the Wheels within Wheels. In the
re-interpreted prophecy it is shown that the Apocalyptic vision
corresponds directly to the inner life of each Soul who seeks God,
by whatever name. It is to these Souls that Ezekiel speaks. They
are those of all races and creeds who seek to rekindle the Divine
visions within themselves. In the prophecy they are called Israel,
no earthly race, but men and women who recognised the Divine call,
and through many lives have followed ways of simplicity, purity and
compassion in services. They are the seekers of Truth in all things
and to them Ezekiel calls.
