Saturday Mid-Day contemplation:
On the Sabbath, I seek
peace with the kingdom of our Heavenly Father;
for truly, the Son of Man is only born of his father by seed and of his mother
by the body, that he may find his true inheritance and know at last that he is
the Son of the King.
"The Heavenly Father
is the One Law, who fashioned the stars, the sun, the light and the darkness,
and the Holy Law within our souls. Everywhere is he, and there is nowhere he is
not. All in our understanding, and all we know not, all is governed by the Law.
The falling of leaves, the flow of rivers, the music of insects at night, all
these are ruled by the Law.
"In our Heavenly
Father's realm there are many mansions, and many are the hidden things you
cannot know of yet. I tell you truly, the kingdom of our Heavenly Father is
vast, so vast that no man can know its limits, for there are none. Yet the whole
of his kingdom may be found in the smallest drop of dew on a wild flower, or in
the scent of newly-cut grass in the fields under the summer sun. Truly, there
are no words to describe the kingdom of the Heavenly Father.
"Glorious, indeed, is
the inheritance of the Son of Man, for to hirn only is it given to enter the
Stream of Life which leads him to the kingdom of his Heavenly Father. But first
he must seek and find peace with his body, with his thoughts, with his feelings,
with the Sons of Men, with holy knowledge, and with the kingdom of the Earthly
Mother. For I tell you truly, this is the vessel which will carry the Son of Man
on the Stream of Life to his Heavenly Father. He must have peace that is
sevenfold before he can know the one peace which surpasses understanding, even
that of his Heavenly Father.
After this manner,
therefore, I pray to our Heavenly Father, when the sun is high at midday:
'Our Father who art in heaven, send to all the Sons of Men your angel of Peace;
and send to your kingdom, our Heavenly Father, your angel of Eternal Life, that
we may soar beyond the stars and live for ever."
