The mere anticipation of it gave me great joy, and I entered in with much enthusiasm. There came a refreshing, quickening sense, a thing I had never before known in my business experience.\nIn the course of its progress, I came into close personal contact with a man of very dominating character. His entire attitude in business was to gain his desire by force\u2014if intrigue failed or he was opposed in any way.\nHe believed only in the power of his own intellect and human will, and had neither knowledge of nor faith in\u2014anything else. At no time, did he hesitate to crush or ruin persons or things that stood in the way of his success, and used all means to gain his own selfish ends.\nI had met him some three years before the following experience took place\u2014and at that time had felt almost helpless in his presence\u2014so overpowering was the feeling of domination he continually sent out. Yet, I knew in spite of my own reaction to him\nthat his control over others was\u2014only force\u2014focused into the outer activity. I was somewhat disturbed, as I realized I would have to associate with him. Immediately, I sought a way to deal with him by application of the God-Law, when the \"Inner Voice\" said to me clearly:\n\"Why not let the 'Mighty God Within'\u2014take full charge and handle this condition? That 'Inner-Power' knows no domination, and is\u2014Always Invincible.\"\nI was immensely grateful, and completely released everything into \"Its\" management. I met this man with two others, and agreed to go with them to inspect a mining property in a distant state. I felt it to be a very valuable one. The owner was an elderly lady whose good husband had passed on by an accident in the mine some months before.\nHe had left things in a precarious condition, and our dominating friend had determined to buy the mine at his own price\u2014not an honest one. After a long trip by auto, we reached our destination about two o'clock the second day. We met the owner whom I realized was a blessed soul\u2014true and honorable.\nThen and there\u2014I took the determined stand that she should have a square deal, and receive full value for the property. She invited us to a lovely luncheon, and we proceeded to examine the mine. We went through the workings, tunnels, drifts, shafts and\nstopings. The more I watched, the more certain I became something was wrong. The very atmosphere seemed to breathe it to me.\nI was certain\u2014a rich strike had been made\u2014which had not been reported to the owner. I somehow knew the buyer had secretly placed one of the workmen on duty to watch for such an activity and that during the weeks of watching, he had gained the confidence of the superintendent. I realized at heart he was a good man but\u2014not awakened spiritually speaking.\nAs we stood talking to him, my God-Self disclosed fully what had occurred. A short time previously, as these two were on their inspection of the work, they had come to a spot where the shots had broken into the face of a tunnel leading directly into the heart of the mountain. The blast had broken into\u2014a very rich vein of gold bearing quartz. The superintendent was about to rush out, and report it to the owner, when the spying workman remarked:\n\"Wait! I know the man who is going to buy this mine. If you want to continue your present position, don't mention that strike. I'll see to it you not only stay here, as superintendent, but there'll be five thousand in it for you. The old lady'll get enough to keep her anyway,\" and the superintendent fearing the loss of his position had agreed.\nIn our examination of the mine, we came to the end of the main tunnel, and I felt strongly this was\nthe place, the rich strike had been made. It had been cleverly covered up and disguised as a loose formation where it was dangerous to work. Such was the report they had made to the woman who owned the mine. As I stood at this place talking with the others, my Inner Sight was opened, and I saw all that had taken place, the rich strike, the covering of it, the offer to the superintendent, and his acceptance. I was grateful to have my feeling verified\u2014but knew I must wait. We returned to the owner's residence, and negotiations began. The buyer opened the subject by saying:\n\"Mrs. Atherton, what do you expect for this property?\"\n\"I am holding it at two hundred fifty thousand dollars,\" she replied courteously and gently.\n\"Absurd!\" he shouted, \"preposterous, ridiculous. It is not worth half that amount.\" He carried on in this vein for some few moments, blustering as was his habit. It had worked many times before, and he was still following the old line of procedure. He argued and stormed and ended by saying:\n\"Mrs. Atherton, you are in a position\u2014where you must sell, I will be generous and give you\u2014a hundred and fifty thousand.\"\n\"I will consider it,\" she replied, so cowed by his attitude of domination and bluster\u2014that she began to accept his ideas and give in to his arrogant impudence.\n[paragraph continues] He saw her waver and immediately, began to high pressure the whole situation.\n\"I cannot wait,\" he went on, \"my time is valuable. You must decide at once or the deal is off.\"\nHe drew the papers from his pocket and placed them on the table. Mrs. Atherton looked about helplessly, and I shook my head\u2014no\u2014to her but she did not see me. The contract lay open, and she stepped across the room taking a chair at the table\u2014preparing to sign. I knew, if she were to be protected, I must act at once, and going to where she sat, I addressed our dominating friend.\n\"Just a moment, my good man,\" I said, \"you will pay this dear lady what her mine is worth\u2014or you are not going to get it.\" He turned his wrath upon me\u2014with several very pungent invectives and attempted the same tactics\u2014as usual.\n\"I'd like to know who is going to prevent me having the mine at\u2014my price?\" he retorted. I felt a surge of the\u2014Mighty God-Power Within\u2014come forth like an avalanche, keeping me unaffected by his tirade of vindictiveness, and I replied:\n\"God will prevent you.\"\nWith that answer, he burst out laughing. He carried on boisterously, cynically, insultingly. I waited calmly.\n\"You fool,\" he began again in another tirade of anger\u2014\"you prate about God. Not you nor God nor\nanything can stop me. I get what I go after, and I get it regardless. No one has ever stopped me yet.\" His arrogance seemed to have no limit, and he revealed himself\u2014mind and body\u2014but the victim of his emotions. His reason was unable to function, as is always the case under any uncontrolled feeling\u2014or it would have warned him to go no further\u2014with his insults.\nI felt the expansion of the God-Power\u2014again. 'This time it came stronger and stronger\u2014until in a tone like a clarion, the Mighty Inner-Voice of my God-Self revealed the Truth of the whole transaction\u2014and the deception at the mine.\n\"Mrs. Atherton,\" I said, \"there has been gross deceit practiced upon you. Your workmen made a rich strike. This man had a spy among them who has bribed your superintendent\u2014to remain silent concerning it.\" The superintendent and the others in the room went white and speechless, as my Inner-Self continued to expose their treachery. The prospective buyer seemed equal to any emergency, and interrupting me in his wild anger, shouted:\n\"You lie. I'll brain you for such interference.\" He lifted his steel cane and as I raised my hand to seize it\u2014a White Flame suddenly shot forth flashing\u2014full in his face. He dropped to the floor as if struck by lightning. Then My Mighty God-Self spoke again with All Authority of Eternity, Majestic, Powerful:\n\"Let no one in this room move\u2014until given permission.\" My outer self no longer me\u2014but \"God in Action\"\u2014stepped to where the man lay, and went on:\n\"Great Soul in this man\u2014I speak to you! Too long have you been held prisoner\u2014by his dominating personal self. Come forth\u2014now! Take command of his mind and body! Right the many deceptions he has practiced\u2014in the present life. Within the hour\u2014this strong outer human creation of discord and injustice\u2014which he has built up shall be consumed\u2014and never again\u2014shall it deceive or humanly dominate\u2014another of God's children. To the outer self, I say\u2014Awaken! In peace, love, kindliness, generosity and good will to all that lives.\"\nSlowly, the color began to come back into the man's face, and he opened his eyes in strange bewilderment. \"God in me\"\u2014still in charge, took him gently by the hand and putting an arm under his shoulder helped him to a large easy chair. Again, It commanded:\n\"My Brother\u2014look at me!\"\nAs he raised his eyes to mine, a tremor passed over his body, and in a voice scarcely audible said:\n\"Yes, I have seen. I understand\u2014how wrong I have been. God forgive me.\" He dropped his head in his hands and hid his face\u2014silent and ashamed. Tears began to drop through his fingers and he wept like a child.\n\"You will pay this dear lady, one million dollars,\" My God-Self continued, \"and give her a ten per cent interest in the mine beside\u2014for in the strike recently made is at least\u2014ten million in gold ore.\" With deep humility and a strange sweetness, he answered:\n\"Let it be done now.\" He requested his men this time, instead of ordering them as was his former habit, to draw up the papers\u2014as had been directed. Mrs. Atherton and he both signed\u2014completing the transaction.\nI turned to the others in the room, and realized from the expression on their faces all of them had been so lifted in consciousness\u2014they had seen beyond the human veil\u2014each of them saying:\n\"Never, so help me God, will I ever attempt to deceive or do wrong to my fellow man again.\" They had been raised to fully recognize and accept the God-Self within\u2014every one.\nIt was late afternoon, when this occurrence took place. Mrs. Atherton extended a cordial invitation to remain as her guests over night, and accompany her to Phoenix in the morning\u2014for the recording of the papers for the sale. After dinner that night, we gathered in the big living room before a large open fire-place. Everyone sincerely sought more understanding of the\u2014Great Cosmic Laws of Life.\nThey asked\u2014how it happened I had come into this\nkind of knowledge, and I told them of the Master Saint Germain and the way I had met him. I related some of my experiences on Mount Shasta, and how in the course of our conversation in regard\u2014to the Great Cosmic Law\u2014he had said:\n\"My Son, the Great Cosmic Law does not discriminate any more than does the multiplication table, if one makes a mistake in its application\u2014or electricity, when one, who is ignorant of the\u2014Law\u2014governing its use, tries to direct its force\u2014without knowledge of the way to control it.\n\"The Great Immutable Decrees\u2014which forever keep order in the Infinite Realm of manifested Life\u2014are all based upon the 'One Great Principle of Creation'\u2014LOVE. That is the Heart\u2014the Source of All, and the very Hub upon which\u2014existence in form takes place.\n\"Love is Harmony\u2014and without it in the beginning of a form\u2014that form could not come into existence at all. Love is the co-hesive Power of the Universe, and without it\u2014a Universe could not be.\n\"In your scientific world, Love expresses itself, as the attractive force between the electrons. It is the directive Intelligence which Wills them into form\u2014the Power which keeps them whirling around a central core\u2014and the Breath within the core\u2014that draws them to it. The same thing is true of each vortex of force\u2014everywhere in creation.\n\"A central core and the electrons whirling around it form an atom. This core of Love is to the atom\u2014what the magnetic pole is to the earth\u2014and what the spine is to the human body. Without a central core or Heart Center\u2014there is only the unformed\u2014Universal Light\u2014the electrons filling Infinity and whirling around the\u2014Great Central Sun.\n\"The electron is Pure Spirit or 'Light' of God. It remains forever Uncontaminated and Perfect. It is\u2014Eternally Self-sustained, Indestructible, Self-luminous and Intelligent. If it were not, it could not and would not obey 'The Law'\u2014the directing activity of Love. It is Immortal, Ever-Pure, Intelligent Light-Energy, and the only Real True Substance out of which everything in the Universe is made\u2014The Eternally Perfect 'Life-Essence' of God.\n\"Inter-stellar space is filled with this pure 'Light-Essence.' It is not dark and in chaos, as has been the ignorant, limited concept of puny human intellects. This Great Sea of Universal Light\u2014that exists everywhere throughout Infinity\u2014is constantly being drawn into form, and given a quality of one kind or another, according to the way the electrons are held around a central point or core by\u2014Love.\n\"The number\u2014of electrons which combine with each other\u2014in a specific atom\u2014is the result of and determined by\u2014conscious thought. The rate\u2014at which they whirl around the central core\u2014is the\nresult of and determined by\u2014feeling. The intensity\u2014of the drawing and whirling motion within the central core is the\u2014'Breath of God' and therefore, the most\u2014Concentrated Activity of Divine Love. Speaking in scientific terms it would be called\u2014centripetal force. These are the determining factors\u2014which make the quality\u2014of an atom.\n\"Thus, you will see the atom is an entity\u2014a living, breathing thing\u2014created or brought into existence by the\u2014Breath and Love of God\u2014through the\u2014Will of Self-Conscious Intelligence. In this way, the 'Word is made flesh.' The machinery\u2014that Self-Conscious Intelligence uses to accomplish this manifestation of its Being\u2014is thought and feeling.\n\"Destructive thought and discordant feeling so rearrange the ratio and rate of speed of the electrons\u2014within the atom\u2014that the duration of the Breath of God\u2014within the pole\u2014is changed. The duration of the Breath\u2014is decreed by the Will of the Consciousness\u2014using that particular kind of atom. If that Conscious Directing Will is withdrawn\u2014the electrons lose their polarity\u2014and fly apart seeking their way back\u2014Intelligently mind you\u2014to the 'Great Central Sun' re-polarizing themselves. There they receive Love only\u2014the Breath of God is never-ending\u2014and Order\u2014the First Law\u2014is Eternally maintained.\n\"Some scientists have claimed and taught that planets collide in space. No such thing is possible. To\ndo so\u2014would be to throw the entire scheme of Creation into chaos. It really is fortunate indeed\u2014that the 'Mighty Laws of God' are not limited\u2014to the opinions\u2014of some of the children of earth. It does not matter what any scientist\u2014mundane or otherwise thinks\u2014God-Creation\u2014is ever moving forward\u2014and expressing more and more\u2014Perfection.\n\"The constructive thought and harmonious feeling within a human mind and body are the Activities of Love and Order. These permit\u2014the Perfect Ratio and Speed of the electrons within the atom to remain permanent, and thus, they stay polarized at their particular point in the Universe, as long as the duration of the\u2014Breath of God\u2014within their core\u2014is held steady by the Will\u2014of the Directing Self-Conscious Intelligence using the body in which they exist. In this way, the quality of Perfection and the maintenance of Life in a human body is\u2014always\u2014under the conscious control of the Will of the individual occupying it. The Will of the Individual is Supreme\u2014over his temple\u2014and even in cases of accident\u2014no one leaves his body-temple\u2014until he wills to do so. Very often pain in the body, fear, uncertainty, and many other things influence the personality to change its decisions concerning what it has willed in the past\u2014but everything that happens to the body\u2014is and will always be\u2014under the control of the individual's free will.\n\"To understand the above explanation\u2014concerning the electron and the conscious control the individual has\u2014through his thought and feeling\u2014to govern the atomic structure of his own body\u2014is to understand the\u2014One Principle Governing\u2014form throughout Infinity. When man will make the effort to prove this to himself\u2014or within his own atomic flesh-body\u2014he will then proceed to Master Himself. When he has done\u2014that\u2014all else in the Universe is his\u2014willing co-worker\u2014to accomplish whatsoever he wills\u2014through Love.\n\"Whoever makes himself\u2014willingly obedient\u2014unto the 'Law of Love,' has\u2014Perfection in his mind and world\u2014Permanently maintained. Unto him and him alone does\u2014All Authority and Mastery\u2014belong. He\u2014Only\u2014has the right to Rule because he has first learned\u2014to obey. When he has\u2014obtained obedience\u2014from the atomic structure within his own mind and body\u2014all atomic structure outside of his mind and body will\u2014obey him also.\n\"Thus, mankind through thought and feeling has the power\u2014each individual Within himself\u2014to rise to the Highest or sink to the lowest. Each one alone\u2014determines his own pathway\u2014of experience. By conscious control of his attention\u2014as to what he allows his mind to accept\u2014he can walk and talk with God\u2014Face to Face\u2014or looking away from God, become lower than the animals, sinking his human\nconsciousness into\u2014oblivion. In the latter case\u2014the God-Flame Within him\u2014then withdraws from its human habitation. After aeons of time, it tries a human journey once again\u2014into the world of physical matter, until\u2014final victory\u2014is accomplished consciously\u2014and of its own Free-Will.\"\n\"I told them of the limitless possibilities which Saint Germain had shown me were before mankind for accomplishment, whenever they are willing to accept The Great God\u2014'Presence Within' every Individual\u2014as the directing and accomplishing power. The buyer of the mine asked me why I used the word\u2014acceptance\u2014so often, and I recalled the words Saint Germain had used in explaining it to me, for he said:\n\"Even in the outer activity of your Life, if you purchase a thing or are offered something marvelous and perfect, if you do not\u2014accept\u2014it, it would be impossible for you to use\u2014or have the benefit from it. So it is\u2014with the 'Great God-Presence' Within us. Unless, we\u2014accept\u2014that our Life is God-Life\u2014and that all power and energy we have with which to do anything is God-Power\u2014and God-Energy\u2014how can we have\u2014GOD-Qualities and accomplishment\u2014in our world?\n\"As Sons of God, we are commanded to choose\u2014whom we shall serve, the Mighty 'Presence' of God Within us\u2014or the outer human self. The\ngratification of the outer human appetites and sense demands\u2014has one and only one result\u2014misery, degradation, and destruction.\n\"All Constructive Desire is really the God-Self Within\u2014pushing Perfection forward\u2014into the use and enjoyment of the outer self. The Great Energy of Life\u2014is flowing through us constantly. If we direct It to constructive accomplishment\u2014It brings joy and happiness. If directed to sense gratification, there cannot be anything but misery as a result because it is all the action of\u2014Law\u2014an Impersonal Life-Energy.\n\"Keep before the outer activity of your mind the constant reminder that you are 'Life'\u2014'God in Action' in you and your world. The personal self is continually claiming things and power of its own\u2014when the very Energy by which it exists\u2014is loaned it\u2014by the God-Self. The outer personal human activity does not even own\u2014its skin. The very atoms of its body are loaned to it\u2014by the 'Supreme God-Presence' from the Great Sea of Universal Substance.\n\"Train yourself to return all power and authority to the 'Great Glorious God-Flame' which is your 'Real Self' and the 'Source' from which you have always received every good thing.\" We talked until two o'clock in the morning, and then, I had to suggest\u2014we retire. No one wanted to sleep but I said to them:\n\"You will sleep in the arms of God,\" and the next\nmorning, they were surprised to realize how quickly they had dropped off to sleep.\nWe were up at seven, and on our way to Phoenix. The recording was completed, and I explained I must leave\u2014as my work with them was finished for the time being. They were all deeply grateful and anxious to know more. I promised to keep in touch with them and give further help, as the Master Saint Germain should direct. As I was leaving the buyer of the mine turned to me, and said:\n\"I don't care what anyone thinks of me\u2014I want to embrace you\u2014and thank you from the bottom of my heart\u2014for saving me from the ruin of my outer self\u2014and for revealing the 'Great Light.' I bowed my head in deep humility, and replied:\n\"Thank God\u2014I am but the channel. God alone is the Great 'Presence' and Power\u2014that does all things well.\" Mrs Atherton turned to me and expressed her feeling:\n\"I do praise and thank the God in you\u2014for the Mighty Protecting 'Presence,' and never in my Life shall I cease to thank God and you\u2014for the\u2014Light\u2014this experience has brought us all.\n\"I feel certain we shall all meet again,\" I replied and bidding everyone, good-bye, turned my face once more toward Mount Shasta\u2014arriving at my lodge the evening of the second day.\nTwo weeks later, I felt a strong impulse to make\none more trip to my trysting place\u2014with the Master Saint Germain. I started at four in the morning, and reached the edge of the dense timber about nine.\nThe plaintive cry of my panther friend came to my ears\u2014before I had gone twenty paces into the woods. I answered quickly. In a moment he came bounding to my side with all the welcome of an old time friend, and we proceeded onward to our meeting-place.\nI noticed the panther was very restless, and acted as if laboring under some inner agitation. This was most unusual\u2014for he had always been very quiet, when in my presence. I patted and stroked the beautiful head but it made\u2014no difference. I sat down and we ate lunch.\n\"Come on old boy,\" I said as we finished, \"let's go for a walk.\" He gave me a long steady look, the most pathetic expression I have ever seen. I could not understand it.\nWe had gone some distance, when we came to a cliff about fifteen feet high at the top of which\u2014hung a projecting rock. Something caused me to look at the panther. The expression in his eyes was wild and fierce. I sensed a sort of tension in the atmosphere but did not realize\u2014what it was. I walked on a few paces farther, and felt a\u2014chill pass over me. Looking up suddenly, I saw a mountain lion crouched\u2014ready to spring. The next instant\u2014it leaped toward me. I\nthrew myself against the cliff\u2014and the lion landed beyond\u2014where I had stood. Like a flash of lightning\u2014the panther sprang and the two locked in mortal combat.\nNo words can describe the terror of the struggle\u2014that followed. They screamed, rolled, tore, and clawed each other. The lion was considerably heavier, and it seemed for a time, as if it would gain the advantage. However, the panther was the faster moving of the two, and finally broke away. There was just an instant's pause until it saw a chance, and then with one spring landed on the lion's back, and fastened its teeth\u2014just behind the ears.\nThe panther's grip was like steel, and after a few seconds of rolling and twisting, the lion's struggles grew weaker. Finally they ceased altogether. The panther came reeling toward me\u2014his side terribly torn. He looked up at me all the fierceness gone from his eyes\u2014and his energy ebbing fast. There passed an expression of contentment over the face, and suddenly\u2014giving a plaintive cry\u2014he fell over dead at my feet.\nI stood motionless, and wept silently at the loss of my friend\u2014for I had become almost as attached to him as to a human companion. The next instant, I looked up, and beside me stood\u2014Saint Germain.\n\"My Beloved Brother, be not sad or dismayed,\" he said, \"your contact with the panther had so\nquickened its consciousness\u2014that it could no longer remain in that present body, and the Great Cosmic Law\u2014demanded from it some service\u2014to you. This it gave in love by saving your life. All is truly well.\" He touched the thumb of his right hand to my forehead.\n\"Be at peace,\" he continued, as the feeling of grief left me, and I felt completely relieved. \"The Great Cosmic Law is unerring. We cannot receive without giving, and we cannot give without receiving. Thus, the Great Balance of Life is maintained.\n\"I congratulate you sincerely on the service rendered at the mine, and your serenity during the occurrence. All concerned with that transaction\u2014will\u2014become great helpers to humanity.\n\"Soon, you will be called upon to render a far greater service\u2014than any you have given so far. In it, remember always it is God's Power and Intelligence acting, and your mind and body\u2014only the channel. Until you meet with this experience, meditate constantly upon the 'Limitless Power of God' which can express through you at\u2014any time.\"\nI asked him what the Ascended Master's attitude is in regard to the many channels through whom partial Truth is given forth, and he replied:\n\"There are many sincere channels. Some have more understanding than others. All are God's children serving to the best of their ability with the\nunderstanding they have at present. We may not judge anyone\u2014but we must\u2014know and see only God\u2014expressing in all. Our endeavor is to bless all activity\u2014wherever it is. We see the 'Inner-Light' radiating through such activities, and this makes it impossible for us to be mistaken\u2014as to whether they\u2014are or are not\u2014giving forth Truth.\n\"It is the same with individuals. Those\u2014who offer their service in the Name of the Ascended Jesus Christ\u2014will always receive more\u2014than ordinary sustaining power.\" We had walked some distance, when he said:\n\"Come, I will accompany you home. Place your arm about my shoulder.\" I did so and felt my body lifted from the ground. In a few moments more, I was in my room at the lodge with Saint Germain standing beside me\u2014smiling at my surprise.\n\"Meet me in seven days,\" he said, \"at our appointed place for then\u2014we will finish our work in this part of the country.\" He smiled, bowed graciously, and slowly faded from sight. The last thing that remained visible\u2014as he gradually disappeared\u2014were his marvelous, beautiful eyes\u2014smiling back at me.\nAs I meditated each day upon the \"Great God-Presence Within,\" for my coming service, I realized more and more\u2014how important it is\u2014to keep the attention focused upon \"That Presence Only\"\u2014no\nmatter what appearances seem to indicate\u2014in order to keep any outer condition\u2014from affecting me. In one of Saint Germain's conversations, he had stressed particularly the all importance of keeping my outer self harmonious, and in regard to this had said:\n\"My Son, you cannot realize\u2014how very great is the necessity\u2014for harmony in the outer self\u2014if the Fulness of the Inner Perfection and Power\u2014is to be expressed\u2014in your outer life. The importance of keeping a Feeling of peace, love, and serenity in the\u2014personal self\u2014cannot be emphasized too strongly\u2014for when this is done the \"Mighty God-Presence Within\" can act\u2014without limit\u2014in an instant.\n\"The continual Outpouring of a Feeling of Peace and Divine Love to every person and everything unconditionally\u2014no matter whether you think it be deserved or not\u2014is the Magic Key\u2014that unlocks the door and\u2014releases instantly\u2014this 'Tremendous Inner God-Power.' Fortunate indeed is\u2014he\u2014who has learned this 'Law' for\u2014he then seeks to\u2014BE\u2014All Peace and Love. Without It\u2014humanity has nothing good, and\u2014with It\u2014they have all things 'Perfect.' Harmony is the Keynote\u2014the 'One Great Law of Life.' Upon It rests\u2014All Perfect Manifestation\u2014and without It all form disintegrates and returns into the Great Sea of Universal Light.\"\nThe following seven days, I spent much time in\nmeditation. I felt a greater and greater peace growing within me\u2014until by the sixth day, it seemed as if my entire consciousness were like a great calm sea.\nOn the morning of the seventh day, I left my lodge at four o'clock and reached our meeting place at ten thirty. I sat down on a log to wait with a feeling of wonderful exhilaration\u2014which I knew to be the result of my meditation. I was so deep within the contemplation of my God Self\u2014I did not hear anyone approaching\u2014until a voice spoke to me.\nI looked up, and saw an old man with white hair and beard, whom I thought at first sight, was an old prospector, although his clothing was too clean for that occupation. As he came up to me and held out his hand, that too confirmed my feeling\u2014he was not a laboring man. We exchanged greetings, chatted for a few moments on generalities, then he turned to me, and said:\n\"My Friend, I would like to tell you a story. It won't take long. I haven't told it to anyone for a long time. I would like to try once more.\nBy that time I began to have a feeling of intense interest. It occurred to me he might be thirsty, and as I reached for a cup to get him a drink\u2014from the spring by which we stood\u2014a crystal cup formed within my hand\u2014like the one Saint Germain had held out to me several times. The old man looked up and with eyes shining and excited, almost shouted:\n\"It is he! It is he!\"\nI did not know what to do, so I insisted\u2014he drink. As I looked within the cup, I saw it was filled with the same clear\u2014Sparkling Liquid\u2014the Master had given me. The old man grasped it eagerly, and\u2014with an intense expression of the deepest gratitude I have ever seen\u2014drank the contents. He immediately became very calm and quiet\u2014but with it all a deep, intense sincerity. I asked him again to tell me the story, and he began by saying:\n\"My father was a British officer stationed in the Punjab of India where we made our home. When I was sixteen, he financed a friend who went to South Africa\u2014to try his luck in the diamond mines, but my father never heard from him afterward.\n\"The year I was twenty, a tall handsome stranger, a man of great wisdom, visited my father at our home. He had come to bring a message from father's friend.\n\"'I bring you news,' he explained, 'from the friend whom you financed four years ago. He met with great success on that venture\u2014in fact became very wealthy. He has recently passed on at the mines, and left no relatives. His entire fortune has been left to you and in case of your passing\u2014it is to go to your son. If you desire, I will take charge of the matter and have it transferred\u2014at once.'\n\"'I cannot leave India at the present time,' my father replied, 'for I am on government duty here. I\nappreciate greatly your offer to take care of the matter for me.' I was standing nearby during their conversation, and when they had completed arrangements the stranger turned to me.\n\"'My son,' he said, 'when you find the man who will offer you a\u2014crystal cup of Sparkling Liquid\u2014you will have met the one\u2014who can assist you in raising the body. I cannot tell you more than this, except that you will find him\u2014on a great mountain in North America. This may seem vague to you now but\u2014it is all I can say.'\n\"The stranger left, and a month later my father, who had ridden out to adjust certain government matters with the natives, was shot, and passed on before he could be brought home. I was an only son, and after another month, mother and I prepared for our return to England. Just before we left the same stranger came again, and said he was ready to transfer father's fortune to me. I explained, father had been shot.\n\"'Yes,' the stranger replied, 'when I left two months ago, I knew your father would pass on before my return. I have arranged for the fortune to be transferred to you, or rather to the Bank of England\u2014for you. Here is money you may wish to use on the journey home, also the papers of transfer, and the credentials you will need at the bank. Present them, and you will receive custody of your wealth. Much\nof it is in diamonds of the first quality.' I thanked him, and offered to pay for his services and kindness but he replied:\n\"'Your kind intent is greatly appreciated but that is\u2014already adjusted. I will be happy to accompany you to the steamer at Bombay.'\n\"The trip revealed to me his great wisdom and beside him\u2014I felt like an infant. I know now\u2014he enveloped me in a Radiation which has stayed with me\u2014throughout the years. He arranged for transportation, accompanied us to the boat, and his last words to me were:\n\"'Remember\u2014the \"Crystal Cup.\" Seek and you shall find.'\n\"After a most wonderful voyage, we arrived at Southampton\u2014went on to London, and presented my credentials to the Bank of England. The official to whom I presented them remarked:\n\"'Yes, we were expecting you today. Here are your bank and checking books.'\n\"I looked at them to see how much my fortune amounted to and was amazed to learn\u2014a hundred thousand pounds\u2014had been placed to my credit. Five years later, my mother passed on. I transferred one half of my wealth to a bank in New York and began the search for 'the man with the Crystal Cup.'\n\"I can never repeat the disappointments, the trials,\nthe sorrow I have been through but in the face of everything, somehow\u2014I could never give up. The thing which seems so strange to me is\u2014while I have grown old in outer appearance, my energy and strength are as great as ever\u2014sometimes I think greater\u2014than in my fullest youth.\n\"In years, I am seventy. Today, I just wanted to follow this trail, and praise God I have found you. My desire was so great\u2014it was almost irresistible.\"\n\"But my good man,\" I asked, \"what am I to do for you?\"\n\"You will know,\" he replied, \"for I know I have made no mistake. In the heart of this majestic mountain is a Great Power. I feel it. Ask God\u2014to show you what to do.\"\nSuddenly, I felt the \"Mighty God-Power\" surging forth so strong\u2014it almost lifted me from the ground. Making the sign\u2014Saint Germain had taught me, I called to God for \"Light\" and raising my hand in salutation said:\n\"Mighty God in man and the Universe! We seek Thy Light! We seek Thy Wisdom! We seek Thy Power! Let Thy Will be done in and for this, My Brother, who has sought and found me to do for him\u2014I know not what. Thou knowest! Manifest Thy Will through my mind and body, and let what ever is to be done for this Brother\u2014Thy Son\u2014come forth.\"\nAs my hand came down, it held the\u2014Crystal Cup\u2014\nfilled with \"Living Liquid-Light.\" I offered it to him, and my\u2014Mighty God-Self spoke\u2014again.\n\"Drink without fear. Thy search is ended.\"\nHe drank the contents without a moment's hesitation. I stepped forward quickly\u2014and took both his hands in mine. Slowly and steadily\u2014every vestige of age\u2014disappeared from him, and the God in me continued:\n\"Behold! Thou art forever Free from all earthly limitation. Ascend now\u2014unto the 'Ascended Host of Light'\u2014who await Thee.\"\nVery slowly, he began to rise from the ground, and as he did so, his human garments disappeared, and he became clothed in raiment of Glistening White. I let go his hands. Then in a voice of deepest Love, he said:\n\"I shall return to thee\u2014Beloved Brother. Well shalt thou be repaid for this\u2014Transcendent Service. Thou wert the\u2014only one\u2014through whom\u2014this\u2014could be done for me. Some day, thou shalt see why,\" and with a happy smile, he disappeared on\u2014a Radiant Pathway of \"Light.\"\nAs the Mighty God-Power Within me receded, I was so astounded\u2014I fell on my knees and offered the deepest prayer of my Life in grateful humility and praise for the\u2014privilege\u2014of giving such service.\nI rose and the Master Saint Germain received me into his wondrous embrace.\n\"My Beloved Brother!\" he said, \"I am greatly pleased. Noble and faithful was your attendance upon the Great God Within you. Beautifully did you receive your Mighty 'God in Action.' I do indeed congratulate you. You will ever be held within Our Embrace, even though outwardly you may not always be aware of it.\n\"You have become a worthy 'Messenger' of the Great White Brotherhood and the Ascended Host. Hold close to your\u2014Mighty God Self. Thus, you will ever be ready for service\u2014wherever and for whatever\u2014is required. My Love enfolds you\u2014until we meet again. I will keep you informed.\"\nSlowly, I wended my way back to the lodge, every step praise and gratitude to the \"One Mighty God\" that molds us all into \"Eternal Perfection.\"","title":"Unveiled Mysteries: Chapter VIII.
