Veil

No other land has been the homeland of such mighty men of thought as grace your scrolls of fame.13. A host of sturdy giants of philosophy, of poetry, of science, and of art, were born upon the soil of Greece, and rocked to manhood in your cradle of pure thought.14. I come not here to speak of science, of philosophy, or art; of these you are the world's best masters now.15. But all your high accomplishments are but stepping stones to worlds beyond the realm of sense; are but illusive shadows flitting on the walls of time.16. But I would tell you of a life beyond, within; a real life that cannot pass away.17. In science and philosophy there is no power strong enough to fit a soul to recognise itself, or to commune with God.18. I would not stay the flow of your great streams of thought; but I would turn them to the channels of the soul.19. Unaided by the Spirit-breath, the work of intellection tends to solve the problems of the things we see, and nothing more.20. The senses were ordained to bring into the mind mere pictures of the things that pass away; they do not deal with real things; they do not comprehend eternal law.21. But man has something in his soul, a something that will tear the veil apart that he may see the world of real things.22. We call this something, spirit consciousness; it sleeps in every soul, and cannot be awakened till the Holy Breath becomes a welcome guest.23. This Holy Breath knocks at the door of every soul, but cannot enter in until the will of man throws wide the door.24. There is no power in intellect to turn the key; philosophy and science both have toiled to get a glimpse behind the veil; but they have failed.25. The secret spring that throws ajar the door of soul is touched by nothing else than purity in life, by prayer and holy thought.26. Return, O mystic stream of Grecian thought, and mingle your clear waters with the flood of Spirit-life; and then the spirit consciousness will sleep no more, and man will know, and God will bless.27. When Jesus had thus said he stepped aside.

The rulers heard the story of the hermit of the hills.12. And they sent couriers forth to talk with him that they might know about the coming king; but they could find him not.13. And after certain days he came again into the market place, and all the city came to hear him speak; he said:14. Be not disturbed, you rulers of the state; the coming king is no antagonist; he seeks no place on any earthly throne.15. He comes the Prince of Peace, the king of righteousness and love; his kingdom is within the soul.16. The eyes of men shall see it not and none can enter but the pure in heart.17. Prepare, O Israel, prepare to meet your king.18. Again the hermit disappeared; the people strove to follow him, but he had drawn a veil about his form and men could see him not.19. A Jewish feast day came; Jerusalem was filled with Jews and proselytes from every part of Palestine, and John stood in the temple court and said,20. Prepare, O Israel, prepare to meet your king.21. Lo, you have lived in sin; the poor cry in your streets, and you regard them not.22. Your neighbours, who are they?

and my brothers, who are they?16. And then he spoke a word aside unto the foreign masters and the twelve; he said,17. Behold, men recognise their mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers here in flesh; but when the veil is rent and men walk in the realms of soul,18. The tender lines of love that bind the groups of fleshly kin in families will fade away.19. Not that the love for anyone will be the less; but men will see in all the motherhood, the fatherhood, the sisterhood, the brotherhood of man.20. The family groups of earth will all be lost in universal love and fellowship divine.21. Then to the multitudes he said, Whoever lives the life and does the will of God is child of God and is my mother, father, sister, friend.22. And then he went aside to speak to mother and his other kindred in the flesh.23. But he saw more than these.

1. And Jesus taught the multitudes; and while he spoke a man stood forth and said,2. Rabboni, hear my plea: My father died and left a large estate; my brother seized it all, and now refuses me my share.3. I pray that you will bid him do the right, and give what is mine.4. And Jesus said, I am not come to be a judge in such affairs; I am no henchman of the court.5. God sent me not to force a man to do the right.6. In every man there is a sense of right; but many men regard it not.7. The fumes that rise from selfishness have formed a crust about their sense of right that veils their inner light, so that they cannot comprehend nor recognise the rights of other men.8. This veil you cannot tear away by force of arms, and there is naught that can dissolve this crust but knowledge and love of God.9. While men are in the mire, the skies seem far away; when men are on the mountain top, the skies are near, and they can almost touch the stars.10. Then Jesus turned and to the twelve he said, Behold the many in the mire of carnal life!11. The leaven of truth will change the miry clay to solid rock, and men can walk and find the path that leads up to the mountain top.12. You cannot haste; but you can scatter forth this leaven with a generous hand.13. When men have learned the truth that bears upon its face the law of right, then they will haste to every man his dues.14. Then to the people Jesus said, Take heed, and covet not.

And it is best that even God should veil his face and seem to hear us not.26. As I am pattern unto you, so you are patterns for the human race.

No man comes unto God but by the Christ.9. The kingdom of the Christ will come; yea, some of you who hear me now will not pass through the gates of death until you see the kingdom come in power.10. For seven days the master and the twelve remained in Cæsarea-Philippi.11. Then Jesus, taking Peter, James and John, went forth unto a mountain top to pray.12. And as he prayed a brilliant light appeared; his form became as radiant as a precious stone;13. His face shone like the sun; his garments seemed as white as snow; the son of man became the son of God.14. He was transfigured that the men of earth might see the possibilities of man.15. When first the glory came the three disciples were asleep; a master touched their eyes and said, Awake and see the glory of the Lord.16. And they awoke, and saw the glory of the Lord; and more, they saw the glory of the heavenly world, for they beheld two men from thence stand forth beside the Lord.17. And Peter asked the master who awakened them, Who are these men who stand beside the Lord?18. The master said, These men are Moses and Elijah, who are come that you may know that heaven and earth are one; that masters there and masters here are one.19. The veil that separates the worlds is but an ether veil.

For those who purify their hearts by faith the veil is rolled aside, and they can see and know that death is an illusive thing.20. And Peter said, Praise God!

As man I could not speak the words of Holy Breath; and then my Father testifies for me.9. The lawyer said, Where does your father live?10. And Jesus said, You know me not or you would know my Father, and if you knew the Father you would know the son, because the Father and the son are one.11. I go my way and you shall find me not; for where I go you cannot come, because you do not know the way.12. You cannot find the way because your hearts are gross, your ears are dull, your eyes are closed.13. The light of life cannot shine through the murky veil that you have drawn about your hearts.14. You do not know the Christ and if the Christ be not within the heart there is no light.15. I come to manifest the Christ to men and you receive me not, and you will dwell in darkness and in the shadow of the grave till you believe the words I speak.16. But you will vilify the son of man, and lift him up and laugh to see him die.17. But then a little light will come and you will know that I am what I am.18. The people did not comprehend the meaning of the words he spoke.19. And then he spoke unto the people who believed in him and said, If you abide in Christ, and Christ abide in you, and if you keep my words within your heart,20. You are the way, you are disciples in the way, and you shall know what is the truth, and truth shall make you free.21. And still the people did not understand; they said, We are the seed of Abraham and are already free; we never were the slaves of any man; why do you say, We shall be free?22. And Jesus said, Do you not know that every one committing sin is slave of sin?

for he has called the pure in heart of every clime to sit with him upon the throne of power!12. All hail, the rending veil!

1. The morning of the Wednesday of the week was come, and Jesus with the twelve went out to Olivet to pray; and they were lost in prayer for seven hours.2. Then Jesus called the twelve close to his side and said, This day the curtain parts and we will step beyond the veil into the secret courts of God.3. And Jesus opened up to them the meaning of the hidden way, and of the Holy Breath, and of the light that cannot fail.4. He told them all about the Book of Life, the Rolls of Graphael, the Book of God's Remembrance where all the thoughts and words of men are written down.5. He did not speak aloud to them; he told the secrets of the masters in an undertone, and when he spoke the name of God there was a silence in the courts of heaven for half an hour, for angels spoke with bated breath.6. And Jesus said, These things may not be spoken out aloud; they never may be written down; they are the messages of Silenceland; they are the Breathings of the inner heart of God.7. And then the master taught the twelve the lessons they should teach to other men.

If, then, your Lord and master kneel and wash your feet, should you not wash each other's feet and thus show forth your willingness to serve?23. You know these things, and if you do them, blessed thrice are you.24. And then he said, This is an hour when I can truly praise the name of God, for I have greatly wished to eat with you this feast before I pass the veil;25. For I will eat it not again until anew I eat it with you in the kingdom of our Father-God.26. And then they sung the Hebrew song of praise that Jews were wont to sing before the feast.27. And then they ate the pasch and as they ate, the master said, Behold, for one of you will turn away this night and will betray me into wicked hands.28. And the disciples were amazed at what he said; they looked into each other's face in wonderment; they all exclaimed, Lord, is it I?29. And Peter said to John, who sat beside the Lord, To whom does he refer?30. And John put forth his hand and touched the master's hand and said, Which one of us is so depraved as to betray his Lord?31. And Judas said, Lord, is it I?32. And Jesus said, He is the one who now has put his hand with mine into the dish.

Last night I saw it all in vision far too vivid to be set aside as idle dream.46. I saw this man walk on the waters of the sea; I heard him speak and calm an angry storm; I saw him flying with the wings of light;47. I saw Jerusalem in blood; I saw the statues of the Cæsars fall; I saw a veil before the sun, and day was dark as night.48. The earth on which I stood was shaken like a reed before the wind.

And with a spear he pierced his heart and it was done; the son of man was dead.11. And then the earth was shocked again; the city of Jerusalem rocked to and fro; the hills were rent and tombs were opened up;12. And people thought they saw the dead arise and walk the streets.13. The temple quivered and the veil between the sanctuary and the Holy Place was rent in twain, and consternation reigned through all the place.14. The Roman guard who watched the body on the cross exclaimed, This surely was the son of God who died.15. And then the people hurried down from Calvary.

1. The fact that Jesus had arisen from the dead was not denied by many of the rulers of the Jews.2. And Pilate gave an order that the followers of the Nazarene be not molested in their worship any place in his domain.3. The day of Pentecost was near at hand and every one was looking for a manifest of Spirit power.4. Now, in Jerusalem the eleven had met to choose a man to fill the place of Judas who betrayed his Lord.5. And Peter said, the Lord called to this ministry twelve men as twelve foundation stones on which the Christine temple should be built.6. This Judas who betrayed his Lord, has gone to his own place beyond the veil.7. Of him the prophet wrote: His habitation shall be desolate; no man shall dwell therein; his office let another take.8. From those who have accompanied us from Gigal, where the harbinger baptised, until this day, shall one be chosen to complete the number twelve, to fill the place from which our brother by transgression fell.9. And then the eleven spent a long, long time in prayer, and when they cast their lots, Matthias, from the valley of the Nile, was chosen for the place.10. Matthias was an Israelite indeed; but he was learned in all the wisdom of Egyptian schools, and he had taught the mysteries of Mizraim in Jericho.11. He was among the first to greet the harbinger; among the first to recognise the Nazarene as Christ, the son of God;12. He had been with the Christine band in all their journeys in the land of Galilee, Judea and Samaria.13. A messenger was sent who found Matthias, and he came and joined the eleven, and for a time the twelve were lost in silent prayer.14. The Christines who had come from Galilee and places in Judea, about six score, were there, and Peter told them of Matthias, and how, by lot, he had been chosen an apostle of the Lord.15. The Christines all were glad and praised the name of God; and Miriam sung a song of praise.16. These are the names of the apostles of the Lord; Peter, john and James; Philip, Andrew and Nathaniel;17. Thomas, James the son of Alpheus and Simon Zelotes; Matthew, Jude, the son of Alpheus and Matthias.

The shielding of your DNA, “the veil” as it is called, has allowed you to work through your evolution once again from a different viewpoint, without the ability to misuse your powers as happened in the time of Atlantis and Lemuria.
