"We should train ourselves not to become engrossed in any of the thoughts continuously arising in our mind. Our consciousness is like a vast ocean with plenty of space for thoughts and emotions to swim about and we should not allow our attention to be distracted by any of them."
-Lama Thubten Yeshe

"Know, also, that the angel of Love is present in the blades of grass, for love is in the giving, and great is the love given to the Daughters and Sons of Light by the tender blades of grass. For I tell you truly, the Stream of Life runs through every living thing, and all that lives, bathes in the Holy Stream of Life.

And when the Daughter or Son of Light touches with love the blades of grass, so do the blades of grass return his love, and lead him to the Stream of Life where he may find life everlasting. And this love never exhausts itself, for its source is in the Stream of Life which flows into the Eternal Sea, and no matter how far does the Son of Man stray from his Earthly Mother and his Heavenly Father, the touch of the blades of grass will always bring a message from the angel of Love; and his feet shall bathe again in the Holy Stream of Life.

"Lo, it is the angel of Wisdom that governs the movement of the planets, the circle of the seasons, and the orderly growth of all living things. So does the angel of Wisdom ordain the communion of the Sons of Light with the Stream of Life, through the tender blades of grass. For I tell you truly, your body is holy, because it bathes in the Stream of Life, which is Eternal Order

"Touch the blades of grass, Daughters and Sons of Light, and touch the angel of Eternal Life. For if you look with the eyes of the spirit, you will truly see that the grass is eternal. Now it is young and tender, with the brightness of the newborn babe. Soon it will be tall and gracious, as the sapling tree with its first fruits. Then it will yellow with age, and bow its head in patience, as lies the field after the harvest. Finally, it will wither, for the small earthen pot cannot contain the full lifespan of the wheat. But it does not die, for the brown leaves return to the angel of Earth, and she holds the plant in her arms and bids it sleep, and all the angels work within the faded leaves and lo, they are changed and do not die but rise again in another guise. And so do the Sons of Light never see death, but find themselves changed and risen to everlasting Life.

"And so does the angel of Work never sleep, but sends the roots of the wheat deep into the angel of Earth, that the shoots of tender green may overcome death and the reign of Satan. For life is movement, and the angel of Work is never still, even does he labor without ceasing in the vineyard of the Lord. Close your eyes when you touch the grass, Daughters and Sons of Light, but fall not asleep, for to touch the Stream of Life is to touch the eternal rhythm of the everlasting kingdoms, and to bathe in the Stream of Life is to feel more and more the power of the angel of Work within you, creating on earth the kingdom of Heaven.

"Peace is -the gift of the Stream of Life to the Sons of Light. Wherefore do we always greet each other, 'Peace be with you. Even so does the grass greet your body with the kiss of Peace. I tell you truly, Peace is not just the absence of war, for very quickly can the peaceful river turn into a raging torrent, and the same waves that lull the boat can quickly break it to pieces against the rocks. So does violence lie in wait for the Sons of Man, when they keep not the vigil of Peace. Touch the blades of grass, and thereby touch the Stream of Life. Therein you will find Peace, the Peace built with the power of all the angels. Even so with that Peace will the rays of Holy Light cast out all darkness.

"When the Daughters and Sons of Light are one with the Stream of Life, then will the power of the blades of grass guide them to the everlasting kingdom of the Heavenly Father. And you shall know more of those mysteries which is not yet time for you to hear. For there are other Holy Streams in the everlasting kingdoms; I tell you truly, the heavenly kingdoms are crossed and crossed again by streams of golden light, arching far beyond the dome of the sky and having no end. And the Sons of Light shall travel by these streams for ever, knowing not death, guided by the eternal love of the Heavenly Father. And I tell you truly, all these mysteries are contained in the humble grass, when you touch it with tenderness and open your heart to the angel of Life within.

"Gather, then, the grains of wheat and plant them in small earthen pots; and every day with glad heart commune with the angels, that they may guide you to the Holy Stream of Life, and you may bring back from its eternal source comfort and strength for the Sons of Men. For I tell you truly, all that you learn, all that your eyes of the spirit see, all that your cars of the spirit hear, all this is as a hollow reed in the wind if you do not send forth a message of truth and light to the Daughters and Sons of Men. For by the fruit do we know the worth of the tree. And to love is to teach without end, without ceasing. For so were your fathers taught of old, even our Father Enoch. Go now, and peace be with you."

And Jesus held forth the little pot with the blades of young grass, as if in blessing, and walked toward the sun-filled hills, along the shore of the river, as was the custom of all the Brothers. And the others followed, each holding to him the words of Jesus, as it were a precious jewel within his breast.

Prosperity

Money is a force. It is the result and expression of work.

It is a concentrated symbol of energy, and power in life.

All forms of strength--intelligence, hard work, social position, skill, organization--lend themselves for conversion into money--and money can be used to attract and mobilize these capacities for any work.

This power of money has long made it an object of suspicion among spiritual seekers fearful of being corrupted and distracted by the material attractions and social prestige which money can bring. Yet, if those seeking a higher life spurn this great power, it only leaves it to others with a less noble and generous outlook and aspiration. Money is a power to be won over and put at the service of Truth.

Like all other powers in the universe, money is a power of the Divine Consciousness and it's true role is to serve the will of that higher consciousness in the world, to foster the spiritual evolution of the world toward a divine fulfillment and perfection. Material prosperity is a pre-condition of the full divine flowering on earth.

Like all other forces in the universe, money obeys certain universal laws or principles. By understanding those laws and acting appropriately, we obtain the power to attract money to us. Here are a few life priciples that you can use to attract money.

1. ATTENTION: It is a basic law of life that all things respond to attention and money is no exception. One gives attention to things by handling them carefully and responsibly. The beest way to give attention to things by handling them carefully and responsibly. The best way to give attention to money is to account for it very accurately and promptly. Keeping accurate and up-to-date accounts of money is a powerful mechanism for attracting more of it. It sounds easy enough, but it is amazing how many individuals, companies, and especially governments (!) which suffer from a shortage of money do not follow this simple principle. Their accounts are always way behind and full of inaccuracies. They do not know who owes them money and who they owe. Money just seems to avoid them. One small business owner balanced 8 months of back bank statements in a weekend and received $5000 from nowhere the next day. Bring your personal or business accounts fully and acurately up to date and watch the flow of money.


2. DEBT: Normally people are much more concerned about what is due to them than about what is due by them to others. But, life is a flow of energy which makes no such distinctions. Like water flowing into a reservvoir, there must be a proper outlet at the other end--otherwise the flow eventually stops. Very often those who suffer from money problems have borrowed in the past and forgotten to repay, even when they had the opportunity. Be as careful and prompt in paying debts as in collecting what is owed to you and the flow of money will continue non-stop.

3. CLEANLINESS: The simplest and yet most dramatic mans of attracting money is to improve the level of physical cleanliness in the home or business. Many a family and company have followed this one simple practice and seen money come unexpectedly rushing toward them. Now matter how clean a place may be, efforts to raise the level of cleanliness will evoke an immediate response from life. Cleanliness is even powerful when it is combined with orderliness. To keep material things in a neat and orderly fashion is to show them a higher level of attention.

4. HARMONY: To establish peaceful, harmonious and cheerful relationships between people creates a very positive atmosphere which attracts money to it.

5. ENERGY: Prosperity is overflowing material abundance. It is made possible by an abundance of physical and nervous energy which is expressed in hard, skillful and well-organized work. Anything which increases the quantity and quality of our energy increases our capacity to attract money. Anything that wastes or dissipates our energy acts in the opposite manner.

6. SOFT SPEECH: Speech is an expression of life energy. We expend a tremendous amount of nervous enregy in speech--much more than is needed to accurately communicate our thoughts at home or at work. One of the most powerful means for attracting money is to reduce the loudness of speaking and the amount of speaking. When we control our speech by speaking softly, we bring our own life energies and our own lives under greater control.

You have been telling the people that this is the Eleventh Hour.
Now you must go back and tell the people that this is The Hour.

Here are the things that must be considered:

Where are you living?
What are you doing?
What are your relationships?
Are you in right relation?
Where is your water?
Know our garden.
It is time to speak your Truth.
Create your community.
Be good to each other.
And do not look outside yourself for the leader.

This could be a good time!

There is a river flowing now very fast.
It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid.
They will try to hold on to the shore.
They will feel like they are being torn apart, and they will suffer greatly.

Know the river has its destination.
The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off toward the middle of
the river,
keep our eyes open, and our heads above the water.

See who is there with you and celebrate.

At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally, least of all
ourselves!
For the moment we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.

The time of the lonely wolf is over.
Gather yourselves!

Banish the word struggle from your attitude and vocabulary.

All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.

We are the ones we have been waiting for.
