AWAKENING (1)
"I
am the way, the truth, and the life" said Jesus.
All
religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. The aspirations of
every individual directed through his life basically are the ennobling of man
regardless of his profession.
They
lift him up to a better physical existence and experience and slowly but surely
lead him toward the reality of what is so frequently said, "Man, know
thyself."
It
is by no means a measure of chance that our present educational system in
schools has developed out of the ancient mystery schools and that sciences were
first known by the old mystics and teachers.
It
would be much to man's greater development if both churches and universities
insofar as they might live up to their true function, should seek to prepare man
to fit him to stand on his two feet as a counterpart of the great creative mind
and power.
As
man looks at his brother he sees those special persons who stand out in the
ranks of humanity as having something that the rest of the masses do not
possess.
It
is the calmness of this man that is the one thing that attracts people to them
along with the possession of that firm but gentle attitude -- they each one of
them know themselves, and the power they possess.
Some
of the teachers were called mystics and some were called just philosophers, but
there was something these men had that seemed to endow them with spiritual
abilities that other men did not have.
This
apparent difference was not an inequality of God's doing but they had earned
this endowment by their working with the law and order of things, and abiding by
the laws of creation.
Actually
these men were so close to nature and themselves that they were, in reality,
natural scientists.
Then
we have the lamas, the priests, the disciples, and let us not forget the
Apostles of our Lord and Master. All
were alike except they had made up their minds that the way of attaining and
manifesting the perfection of their deity was of greater importance than
anything else in their life.
They had come to the great realization that only when they were able to
find God or the understanding of the great creative intelligence would they be
able to help their one thousand and one brothers in the world which had not come
to that point of awakening.
The
Holy Order of MANS and its teachings takes the mystery out of the mysteries in
this new age and have already added to it the sciences of the outer material
world and the Christian mysteries taught by our Lord Jesus Christ, Buddha, and
many others.
Thus
it is that the Holy Order of MANS with its insight and direct revelation of our
Master Jesus Christ, not only teaches but practices as esoteric brothers and
have realized the reality of these teachings at a level or state of
consciousness and vibration which brings to light the commandments in their
reality and a consciousness of the one WAY or universality of all peoples' soul
growth.
The
awakening to the reality of the "Way" makes it possible for them to
function without dogma, without creed, regardless in what group, what church, or
what mystical group in the body of Christ exists that they are working in,
because they revert to the infinite information of the Self and the Law of God
which directs one regardless of his position on the golden stairway.
It
is through his becoming acquainted with and knowing how to use the tools God
gave him that he is able to work with any and all people and he senses and sees
existence of the greater light.
He
is somehow conscious of the Way which is the ultimate path of attainment which
you must travel to peace so that all the world may have peace.
This
is the Way traveled by the great ones. On
this path you find no differentiation in race, creed, or color.
It is long and becomes very narrow the further one travels along it.
It is also very satisfying; it brings the inner peace and security
regardless of the turmoil and strife around you.
The
Holy Order of MANS has no new philosophy, except to unite ourselves with all men
as it is their only wish and striving to put these tools of the great Creator
into the hands of each brother on earth and work with the great White
Brotherhood in bringing the earth in its entirety into the light of the
Christos.
To
be a real brother in the Holy Order of MANS is to be under the direct guidance
of the great teacher; its striving is to understand his brother, not just
agreeing to be sociable or at peace with him.
One
of the first commandments, if you wish to follow or put your foot on this Way,
is don't try to convert a man to your philosophy or religion, but try to
understand his philosophy or religion; but to do, to do, all things in service
for your brother that will help to raise him to your own level of appreciation
of God.
Remember
man only learns to know himself by knowing the Creator he lives in, working with
it, walking the face of the earth and among all people without fear or want and
in joy and gladness, thus only can we serve God and man alike.
Remember
that it takes a brave man to be an individual and work in the body of Christ to
live his Way. Grow with him, grow
with us in this Age of beauty and share the glory of the Christos returned to
earth. It takes a brave heart to
attain his Godhood.
For
man consciously started on the path of involution into dense matter and is now
evolving out of dense matter to attain his mastership and Godhood.
Set your face to the Sun
Never Run
Use spear of Mind

To stop what negativity has wrought
Be a "Brother"
Help another.
The
most important thing that could ever come into a spiritual person's life is the
awakening of the Soul.
Let
us before going on see what Webster's New World Dictionary has to say about the
meaning of the word "awakening":
"A waking up, an arousing or reviving, as of impulses or
religions."
Since
a revival is indicated, something must be there which was awake but now sleeps.
Let
us search the scriptures on this subject: Mark
4:38. "They awoke Jesus and
said unto him, Master, don't you care that we are drowning?"
This is the awaking of fear. Jesus
rebuked them for their unbelief.
In
Luke 9:32, we find the awaking to the Glory of God. "But Peter and his
companions had been overcome by sleep, and it was as they struggled in
wakefulness that they saw the Glory of Jesus and the two men standing with
him."
It
is in awakening to the fact that all around mass mind is asleep, and that it has
lulled us into sleep, that we are righteously angered into awaking enough to see
the Glory of Jesus, which is the Glory of the Father.
Jesus reflects the Father's Glory.
In
John 11:11 --
Jesus states that he is going to awaken Lazarus.
"Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going to wake him
up." We need to be awakened to
the Christ.
