It conveyed the idea\u2014that the information to be given was of such a nature\u2014as could only be explained in person. I considered the extraordinary way in which the request had reached me, and yet felt an Inner Desire to respond to the call.\nIn a few days, I went to the address given, rang the bell, and in a moment the door was opened by a tall slender gentleman about forty years of age, with iron gray hair and gray eyes, who stood perhaps six feet one inch in height.\nI introduced myself, and he greeted me with a cordial, sincere hand shake which revealed unmistakably\u2014his was an absolutely true and dependable nature. His eyes were steady and fearless, and he gave one the impression\u2014that he possessed great reserve energy.\nI felt an unusual Inner harmony about him, and knew it could only mean the starting of a deep and wonderful friendship. He too seemed aware of an Inner something\u2014that made each of us feel attracted\nto the other. He asked me to come in, and be seated.\n\"You are here,\" he began, \"at my request, and I am deeply grateful, strange as it must have seemed to you. Your address was given me by one of whom I shall speak later. In explanation, I have this to say\u2014that I have made some very remarkable discoveries which I must ask you to accept on faith\u2014until I can take you with me, and prove their Truth and Reality to you.\n\"I was advised to get directly in touch with you personally\u2014as the only one to whom this should be revealed\u2014and with which I am concerned. For a starting point, I shall have to begin with things that occurred twenty years ago.\n\"At that time, I had a beautiful wife. Now, I know she had great Inner growth of which, however, I was not aware. A son was born\u2014whom we both idolized. For five years, our happiness was complete. Suddenly, without any warning or apparent reason\u2014the child disappeared.\n\"For many weeks, we searched and searched, and did everything humanly possible to find him, but to no avail. Finally, we gave up all hope. His mother never recovered from the shock and five months later\u2014passed on.\n\"She had made a strange request during the last few days of her life\u2014that her body be held in the vault for seven days\u2014after her passing and then cremated.\n[paragraph continues] It seemed rather peculiar to me\u2014for at no time had we ever discussed anything\u2014in regard to this subject. However, I complied with her wishes. Imagine my surprise five days after her funeral, when I received a call from the man in charge of the cemetery saying\u2014he had found the vault open that morning\u2014and the body gone. No clue to anything concerning the whole strange occurrence was ever discovered.\n\"Sixteen years later, I awakened one morning\u2014to find a letter\u2014upon the floor of my room\u2014addressed to me but with no postmark. I picked it up, opened it, and read the contents\u2014which left me mystified and incredulous. It read:\n\"'Your wife and son are living, well, and strong. Soon you will see them. Have patience until that time. Rejoice to know there is no death. At the appointed time\u2014directions will reach you in this manner\u2014which you are to follow\u2014implicitly. All depends upon your absolute silence. You shall see, and receive full explanation of all that has seemed so mysterious. Then\u2014you will understand why Truth is far stranger and more wonderful than fiction\u2014for even the most extraordinary fiction\u2014is but the record of a Truth\u2014that is somewhere in the universe.\n\"'Signed,\n\"'A Friend'\n\"My Friend, you can imagine my astonishment. At first\u2014I did not believe a word of it. The third evening after this\u2014I was sitting in front of my grate fire, when I heard my beloved wife's voice as clear and distinct\u2014as if she were in the room beside me, saying:\n\"'Robert, My Beloved\u2014I am alive and well, and our son is with me. We will be so happy, when you are with us again. Do not distrust the message. It is all true. You will be brought to us\u2014if you do not allow doubt to shut the door. I speak to you through the Sound Ray which you will one day learn to use.' I could stand the tension no longer\u2014and said:\n\"Show yourself to me, and I will believe.\" Instantly, the voice replied:\n\"'Wait a moment.' In about three minutes, a Brilliant Ray of Golden Light came into the room\u2014forming a tunnel, at the other end of which, stood my beautiful wife. It was she\u2014unmistakably.\n\"'Beloved,' she said, 'seeming miracles have taken place in the midst of your Life for years but because your attention has not been called in the right direction, we had to wait until this time. Trust the message that will come to you. Then\u2014you will come to us\u2014and I assure you a new world will open. To our great love there is no barrier.'\n\"Instantly\u2014the Light Ray vanished and with It the voice. My joy knew no bounds. I could no longer\ndoubt. I felt a relaxation, peace, and rest I had not known for years. Then\u2014came weeks of waiting which I now know was a preparation going on\u2014within me. At last the message, I longed for so much, came and with it a diagram and directions to be followed.\n\"I saw this would lead me into the high mountains southeast of Tucson, Arizona. I made preparation to go at once, saying to my friends I was going to do a little prospecting. I took a horse and pack animal, finding very little discomfort and no difficulty in following the directions given. If I could have gone as the crow flies, I would easily have covered the distance in two days.\n\"Just before sundown of the third day, I came to a blind canyon and would have passed it unnoticed, if it had not been for the diagram. I had just made camp, when it became dark. I rolled up in my blankets and soon dropped off to sleep, dreaming most vividly\u2014of waking in the morning and seeing a young man\u2014standing near by\u2014looking at me.\n\"When I did awaken, to my astonishment\u2014there stood the young man in Real Life\u2014looking at me intently. He greeted me with a beautiful smile\u2014saying:\n\"'My Friend, you are expected to follow me.' I noticed, he had my things in readiness and turning without further discussion, led the way toward the head of the canyon. After about an hour, we came\nto a stop because of a cliff that seemed to close the way before us.\n\"He turned, placed his hands upon the rock, and pressed against it. A section of the wall\u2014perhaps ten by twelve feet\u2014moved in to a depth of about one foot\u2014and then slid to one side. We entered a tunnel that centuries ago\u2014must have been the bed of an underground water-course. My companion closed the entrance behind us and, as we turned to go forward, a Soft Radiance spread everywhere\u2014so we could see quite clearly. I was astonished at all I saw but I remembered the admonition I had received in my instruction\u2014'to be silent.'\n\"We continued in the tunnel for more than an hour, and finally came to a massive metal door. This opened slowly at my companion's touch. He stood aside, and waited for me to pass through. I stepped out into the bright sunlight, almost breathless with delight at the beauty of the scene before me. Ahead of us, lay a valley of surpassing loveliness\u2014about a hundred acres in extent.\n\"'My Friend,' said the young man, 'you have returned home after a long absence\u2014all of which you shall soon understand.' He then led the way to a beautiful building, near the foot of a sheer cliff at the upper end of the valley. As we came nearer, I could see many kinds of fruit and vegetables growing in abundance, among them oranges, dates, English\nwalnuts, and pecans. A beautiful waterfall poured over the cliff\u2014making a limpid pool at its base. The building was a massive one, and looked as though it had stood there for centuries.\n\"We had almost reached it, when a beautiful woman in white appeared at the entrance. We came nearer\u2014and my beloved wife\u2014stood before us\u2014more beautiful than ever. In another instant, I held her in my arms, and after all the agony I had been through in those years\u2014it was almost more than I could stand. She turned, putting her arm, around the young man who had brought me, and said:\n\"'Robert, this is our son.'\n\"'Son!' was all I could say, so nearly was I overcome by my emotions.\n\"He stepped forward, put his arms around both of us, and we three\u2014stood there for a moment in deepest love and gratitude\u2014happy once more. I suddenly realized it was sixteen years since he had disappeared, and by now he must be twenty-one. He answered my thought, by saying:\n\"'Yes Father, I am twenty-one. Tomorrow is my birthday.'\n\"'How can you read my thought so readily?'\n\"'O, that is a very ordinary and easy thing for us. It is all quite natural, when you understand how to do it and really\u2014quite simple,' he replied.\n\"'Come,' he continued, 'you must be hungry. Let\nus have something to eat.' With their arms around me, we entered the ancient building. The interior was finished in pink marble and white onyx. I was shown to a beautiful room where the morning sun flooded everything with its glorious radiance. I refreshed myself, and found a suit of white flannel\u2014had been provided for me. I tried it on, and it fitted perfectly. This surprised me but again I remembered the admonition 'to be silent.' I went downstairs, and was presented to\u2014a striking looking gentleman\u2014about my own height with large, dark, piercing eyes.\n\"'Father,' said my son, 'this is our Beloved Master, Eriel. He is the one\u2014who saved the lives of both Mother and me\u2014and has trained us all these years\u2014until you could be prepared to join us here. It was he\u2014who sent you the message and directions to come\u2014because the time had arrived for your definite training to begin.'\n\"We entered the dining-room which was magnificent, and I could not refrain from expressing my admiration. It had been placed at the south-east corner of the building on the main floor and was flooded with sunshine morning and afternoon. The walls were made of heavily carved walnut and the beamed ceiling, inlaid between the beams with motifs in hexagonal design. A solid piece of walnut at least two inches thick resting on an ornately carved pedestal, served as a table and looked as if it were\nthousands of years old. We took our places around it, and presently a slender youth entered. My son introduced him by saying:\n\"'This is our Brother, Fun Wey, whom Our Master brought from China, when he was an infant at a time\u2014his Life was about to be taken. He is from a very ancient Chinese family, and is able to do many wonderful things. He has always wished to serve us, and we are privileged and happy to call him\u2014Brother. He is one of the most joyous natures I have ever known.'\n\"Among the things for breakfast were luscious strawberries with delicious date and nut cakes. We went into the large living-room and the Master Eriel said to me:\n\"'At the time your beloved wife\u2014who is your Twin Ray\u2014would have passed on, I saw an opportunity to give certain assistance\u2014which would enable her to reach the Ascended State\u2014and thus have much greater freedom and wider capacity for service. It was my great privilege and joy to give that assistance.\n\"'I opened the casket\u2014restored her to conscious action\u2014and enabled her to raise the body. It had already reached a point of high attenuation\u2014because her desire for the \"Light\" was very great. It was her intense adoration to and longing for the \"Light\" that made possible her Ascension. I explained this to her the day you thought she had passed on.\n\"'All three of you were children of mine in an embodiment\u2014of long ago. A great love was generated then\u2014which has lasted through the centuries. Her deep love made possible\u2014the assistance and raising\u2014that has been accomplished at this time.\n\"'Your son\u2014who was stolen with the intention of being held for ransom\u2014was brought to this canyon. The two concerned with his kidnapping began to quarrel, and one\u2014planned to take the child's Life.\n\"'I appeared before them\u2014and took him. They were paralyzed by their own fear\u2014and neither ever recovered. Both passed on a few weeks later. If one deliberately takes the life of another human being\u2014or determines mentally to take it\u2014he has set a cause into motion that will surely take his own.\n\"'A feeling or desire\u2014for the death of another person\u2014will do the same thing\u2014for it goes forth to the person, and then begins its return journey to the one who sent it out. Many times individuals allow resentment against injustice to flash forth, with an intense feeling to rid the world of a certain individual. This is a\u2014subtle form\u2014of the thought of death\u2014and to the one who sends it out\u2014it must return.\n\"'Many, many people bring about their own dissolution\u2014by this very subtle activity of the human self\u2014for no one ever escapes this \"Immutable Law.\" There are many phases of Its reaction\u2014and it is because humanity indulges\u2014in such thoughts and feelings\u2014\nthat the race as a whole\u2014has been experiencing the dissolution of body after body.\n\"'The number of mankind\u2014that pass out through physical violence\u2014is infinitesimal\u2014compared to the deaths brought about\u2014by these subtle activities\u2014of thought, feeling, and the spoken word. The human race has been killing itself off\u2014for thousands of years in this subtle way\u2014because it will not learn \"The Law of Life\" and obey It.\n\"'There is only One Law of Life, and that is \"Love.\" The Self-Conscious, thinking individual who will not or does not\u2014obey that\u2014Eternal Beneficent Decree\u2014cannot and will not retain the physical body\u2014because all that is not Love\u2014dissolves form and it matters not\u2014whether it be thought, word, feeling or deed\u2014intentional or unintentional\u2014the 'Law' acts\u2014regardless. Thoughts, feelings, words, and deeds are each but so much force acting\u2014and eternally move in an orbit of their own.\n\"'If man knew\u2014he never ceases creating even for an instant\u2014he would realize, through the \"Presence\" of God within himself\u2014he could purify his miscreations\u2014and thus be free from his own limitations.\n\"'He spins a cocoon of human discord around himself\u2014and goes to sleep within it forgetting\u2014at least for a time, that if he can build it, he can also\u2014break through. By using the Wings of his Soul\u2014Adoration and Determination\u2014he can break through his\nself-created darkness. Then, he lives once more at the\u2014Center of his Being\u2014in the \"Light\" and Freedom of his \"God-Self.\"\n\"'However, in the activity of you and your beloved family, or shall I say my beloved family, the cloud that has seemed to hold so much of sorrow is now turned inside out and reveals its glorious golden lining. You have now come within the\u2014Radiant Splendor of the \"Light\"\u2014from which you will never again recede.\n\"'In most cases, if human beings knew the wonderful things that are sometimes planned for them, they would unknowingly prevent the approach of this greater good. You have been invited here, not only to join your loved ones, but to receive\u2014definite instruction\u2014concerning the existence, use, and direction of the Mighty God-Power\u2014latent within you. When you understand how to release and control It, anything will be possible for you.\n\"'Your loved ones used the Light and Sound Rays in communicating with you. This knowledge with its power will be explained, and you too shall be enabled to operate them\u2014consciously and at will. You feel deeply, and when that characteristic is consciously governed, there will come an Awareness of the Mighty God-Power\u2014that stands ready to be released\u2014at any instant.\n\"'You are to remain here for six weeks of training.\nand then return to the outer world\u2014to use\u2014the understanding you have received. Come again, at any time for you are now one of us.'\n\"I can never put in words\u2014what those six weeks meant to me. To become aware of my own ability to use the instruction and application of such wisdom astonished me. Soon, I began to gain a confidence in myself\u2014that made everything much easier. What seems so mysterious and unusual to the human\u2014I found natural and normal\u2014to this Stupendous 'Inner-Presence.'\n\"I had to realize that I was\u2014Truly\u2014the Son of God. As a Son of the\u2014Source of all Good\u2014the Limitless Wisdom-Energy obeyed my conscious direction, and when I directed it\u2014as does a Master\u2014produced results instantly. As I gained confidence in my own ability to use the 'Great Law,' the fulfillment naturally became more and more rapid. I marvel yet\u2014at the Ever-pouring Fountain of Love and Wisdom that streamed forth from this\u2014Great Master. We love him with a deep devotion\u2014greater than any love that could ever exist between parent and child\u2014for the Love Tie formed by the giving of Spiritual Understanding is Eternal, and far deeper than any love generated through human experience\u2014no matter how beautiful and strong it may be. He often said to us:\n\"'If you will make yourselves\u2014an Eternal Fountain\nof Divine Love\u2014pouring it forth into every place your thought goes, you will become such a Magnet for All Good\u2014that you will have to call for help to dispense it. Peace and Calmness of Soul release a power\u2014which compels obedience\u2014of the outer mind. This must be\u2014claimed\u2014with authority. Our home here in this Secret Valley has been used for over four thousand years.'\n\"One day, after giving a remarkable discourse on 'God's Ownership,' he looked at me very intently, and suggested we take a walk. He led the way to the opposite side of the valley from which we had entered. Near the south wall, and running parallel with it from east to west, was a ridge beginning at the ground, rising to about seven feet in height, extending about two thousand feet in length, and then descending to the ground again. As we came closer, I saw it was a vein of white quartz. The Master Eriel stepped to where the vein came to the ground and kicked a piece loose with his foot. I saw it was\u2014immensely rich\u2014in gold. My human love for gold attempted to surge forth but the 'Inner-Presence' instantly checked it, and with a smile the Master remarked:\n\"'That is well done. Now, I have work to do in Europe and must leave you for the present.' He smiled, and was gone instantly. It was the first time\u2014he had shown the Full Dominion he possessed, and\nthe things\u2014he was able to do in this manner. Immediately\u2014my son became visible\u2014in exactly the same spot\u2014where Eriel had been standing the instant before and laughed heartily at my surprise.\n\"'Mother and I,' he said, 'can take our bodies with us\u2014wherever we choose in the same way. Do not be surprised. It is a\u2014Natural Law\u2014and\u2014only seems strange and unusual\u2014because you are not using it\u2014as yet. It really is no more extraordinary\u2014than the telephone would have been\u2014to the people of the Middle Ages. If they had known the \"Law\" of its construction, they could have used it then\u2014just as well as we of this century.'\n\"Since that visit to my family in the Secret Valley, I have been there seven times. The last time, I returned to the outer world\u2014the Master gave me your address\u2014which accounts for my asking you to come here. He extends the invitation for you\u2014to return with me.\"\nMy host suddenly realized he had been talking several hours, and begged indulgence for taxing my patience. I told him the experiences were so fascinating, and I had been so intensely interested that time was non-existent, so far as I was concerned. I accepted and was deeply grateful\u2014for the Master Eriel's invitation to visit them, and said so frankly. A moment later, a tall young man came into the room.\n\"Let me present our Brother, Fun Wey,\" said my\nhost, introducing him, and in the most perfect English, he replied:\n\"My Brother\u2014with the Heart of Light\u2014has journeyed far. My heart leaps in ecstasy and joy. My soul feels your Serenity and Radiance.\" Addressing my host directly, he continued.\n\"Knowing you were busy, I am here to serve you.\"\n\"It will give us great pleasure to have you break bread with us,\" said my friend turning to me, and together we passed into the dining room. Our dinner was delicious, and when finished my host again resumed his conversation\u2014relating many of his personal experiences with Eriel. They were remarkable indeed\u2014that is speaking from the human side of our consciousness only\u2014but from the standpoint of our\u2014Divinity\u2014all was and is\u2014Supremely Natural.\nSuddenly, a Ray of Light\u2014or rather a Tube of Light\u2014came into the room, and from the conversation I knew it was my host's Twin Ray speaking. In a moment, the Ray was directed to me, and he said:\n\"Beloved, allow me to present the Brother\u2014whom our Master Eriel has requested I meet.\"\nI saw his Twin Ray, and heard her as clearly\u2014as if she stood in the room beside us. This way of communicating is a wonderfully happy experience, and\u2014it is possible\u2014to so condense \"Light\" as to form a Tube in which Sound and Vision can be conveyed. It was as Real\u2014as a search-light.\nMy host insisted that I make his home mine\u2014until the day of our departure into the mountains. We started before daylight the seventh day after our meeting, and it was one of the most memorable experiences of my Life up to that time. All he had told me proved to be true\u2014in the minutest detail.\nOur arrival at the Secret Valley was a most joyous event, and our happiness was very great. I met my host's Twin Ray and their son, and was then shown over the ancient building\u2014where so many students had received the True Understanding of the Laws of Being\u2014and attained their Eternal Freedom.\nIt was a marvelous sensation\u2014to stand where the Great God-Power had been focused for so many centuries, and\u2014the Ascended Masters had made a retreat\u2014for some of their work. I sat contemplating the blessings the students had received\u2014who were privileged to come there, when the Master Eriel addressed me.\n\"My Son,\" he began, \"you are nearing wonderful liberation. Hold close to the continuous acceptance of your own indwelling 'Master-Presence,' and you will have just cause for great rejoicing.\" He extended his right hand, and\u2014the veil between the visible and invisible\u2014was drawn aside.\n\"I want you to see,\" he continued, \"as we who have Ascended\u2014The Sublime and Majestic Activity of Our World. Here, we continually bear witness, as\n[paragraph continues] Sons of God, because there is no longer doubt, fear, or imperfection within us.\" I shall always remember the joy and privilege that was mine during the days I spent with those wonderful people.\n\"Every day,\" said Eriel, \"you shall witness the use of the\u2014Light and Sound Rays\u2014that annihilate time and space, and which mankind is destined to use in the near future\u2014as naturally as they now use the telephone. This is one of the most Stupendous Activities the individual may learn how to direct. A Light Ray can be drawn and controlled\u2014so it may be used as a pencil\u2014to write upon metal\u2014or in the sky, and the writing\u2014remain visible\u2014as long as the one directing\u2014desires.\n\"When the student is strong enough\u2014to stand against the opinions of the world of ignorance\u2014then he or she is ready\u2014to bear witness to the\u2014Marvels of the Individual Activities of God\u2014manifested by the Ascended Masters.\n\"Until he can do this\u2014the power in suggestion and the radiation of doubt from others will disturb him intermittently\u2014to such an extent\u2014that he many times gives up the quest for Truth. Interruption to the steady flow of instruction\u2014is\u2014discord. Discord is the wedge\u2014and subtle way\u2014by which the sinister force on this earth\u2014enters the outer activity of a student\u2014who has determined to face\u2014'The Light.'\n\"Such activity is very subtle\u2014because it is a feeling,\nand creeps in upon one before he is\u2014really aware\u2014of its existence. It is persistent beyond belief\u2014and the growth is so insidious\u2014that one does not realize what has been done\u2014until the momentum is already under way.\n\"This feeling begins\u2014as a slight doubt. A doubt need only be\u2014felt\u2014two or three times, until it becomes\u2014distrust. Distrust\u2014whirls a time or two in the emotional body\u2014and becomes suspicion\u2014and suspicion is self-destruction.\n\"Remember this my son, as you return again to the outer world, and you will find it a safeguard\u2014that will carry you through every experience in Life\u2014keeping you untouched by discord. If one sends out suspicion, he\u2014will\u2014be suspected, for every one has in his world just exactly\u2014that\u2014which he puts into it, and this 'Eternal Irrevocable Decree' exists throughout the Universe. All impulses of consciousness\u2014travel back to the central point\u2014that sent them out\u2014not even an atom escapes.\n\"The Real student of 'Light' faces 'The Light'\u2014sends it before him\u2014sees its Enfolding Radiance\u2014everywhere he moves, and adores 'It'\u2014constantly. From the doubts, fears, suspicion, and ignorance of the human mind, he turns away, and knows\u2014only 'The Light.' This is His Source\u2014His True-Self.\"\nWith these parting words, Eriel bade me farewell, and I returned to the daily routine of my outer life.","title":"Unveiled Mysteries: Chapter VII.
