There is another, an Invisible Sun, of which our sun is but the symbol. No man can look on the Invisible Sun and remain mortal.

This is the Christ, who saves from ignorance and death him who primarily accepts and finally realizes the Light.

Harold W. Percival
Through continued effort each of us will at last reach the golgotha of suffering and be crucified between the matter of the turbulent underworld and the glories of the over-world.

At certain moments in the lives of an individual there wells up from within a conscious expansion of consciousness… In a breath, in a flash, in an instant of time, time ceases and this interior world opens out from within.

From one who is conscious of this Consciousness we may have the true Christmas gift—if this is what we seek. The Christmas Presence is the entrance leading to the undying eternal life. This Presence may come while we are still in shadow-land. It will awaken the sleeper from his dreams and enable him to be unafraid of the surrounding shadows. Knowing the shadows to be shadows, he is not afraid when they would seem to enfold and overwhelm him.

Cycles

Harold W. Percival
There are two Paths: the Path of Form and the Path of Consciousness. These are the only paths. Only one can be chosen. No one can travel both. All must choose in time, none can refuse.

Christ

Harold W. Percival
After first seeing the light and feeling the power and hearing the voice, one will not at once pass into the realm of soul. He will live many lives on earth, and in each life will walk silently and unknown over the path of forms until his selfless action shall cause the realm of soul again to open out from within when he will again receive the selfless love, the living power, and the silent wisdom. Then he will follow the deathless ones who have travelled before on the deathless path of Consciousness.

Harold W. Percival
This is the Message we would bring: the strength to free the mind from ignorance, prejudice, and deceit; the Courage to seek the truth in every form; the Love to bear each other's burdens; the Peace that comes to a freed mind, an Opened Heart; and the Consciousness of an undying life.

Brotherhood

Harold W. Percival
Form is now God …Who dares renounce allegiance to the God? Who knows and dares and wills, can dethrone the false god, and use it to diviner ends; unshackle the captive; claim his divine inheritance; and begin the path that leads to the All-one-ness of Consciousness.
