An Essay on
THE SECRET OF VICTORY
May I share with you
HUMAN AND SPIRITUAL TRUTHS
ONE MUST PUT INTO PRACTICE
IF OUR GOD-NATURE WOULD BE VICTORIOUS
OVER THE HUMAN WORLD OF MATTER,
PARTICULARLY
AS THESE TRUTHS PERTAIN TO OUR PERSONAL LIVES.
THERE ARE 'HUMAN PROBLEMS' THAT
MUST BE LEFT IN THE HANDS OF GOVERNMENTS AND GOD
THERE ARE OTHER SOCIAL PROBLEMS THAT ARE ALSO
TOO BIG FOR THE INDIVIDUAL,
PROBLEMS FOR WHICH WE CAN ONLY PRAY.
THERE IS HOWEVER MUCH WE ARE
RESPONSIBLE FOR DOING, BODY AND SOUL
WHICH IF WE SUCCEED
WILL GO A LONG WAY IN RESOLVING THE PROBLEMS
OF THIS PLANET.
THAT OF WHICH I SPEAK IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY
FOR 'GROWING OURSELVES', BODY AND SOUL
AND PERFECTING OUR OWN PERSONAL
SPHERES OF INTEREST.
WHAT FOLLOWS THEN ARE TRUTHS I HAVE FOUND TO BE
BASIC TO THE PROCESS OF GROWING,
BOTH AS A HUMAN BEING
BUT EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY
AS A SPIRITUAL BEING.
FIRST AND FOREMOST
I HAVE LEARNED
THAT THE ENERGY WE CALL LOVE,
PURE SELFLESS LOVE
MUST PREDOMINATE IN ALL WE DO,
BODY AND SOUL.
AND BE THE FOUNDATION FOR
ALL OUR THOUGHT, FEELING AND ACTION.
I HAVE LEARNED THAT
LOVE....CHRIST LOVE.... ALONE IS
THE SECRET OF VICTORY
OVER ALL PROBLEMS IN THIS PHYSICAL WORLD,
THE SECRET OF SPIRITUAL ILLUMINATION

Along the Way
I have learned that:
Beauty is manifested and maintained through Love.
That if something is not of the Light, then we must cover it with Light and go our way.
That only our God-Obedience and the exercise of human-self-control is the Pathway unto the Heights.
That The Divine must always precede and the human must always follow.
I have learned that:
If One is to be entrusted with more God-Power, it is to be for the Assistance of those in the outer world, who are making a brave and selfless fight for the High Ideals of Life to be maintained.
That we have to be Fearless if we are to be entrusted with the Greater Ascended Powers of Life, which then we must protect.
That whatever Christ Power one draws forth, belongs to the 'I AM' Presence of that one. And that That Power must never be used for anything except to fulfill the Divine Plan.
I have learned that:
If there is the slightest spark of feeling to 'lord it over' someone else, one must work to annihilate that feeling instantly and to seal the feelings against it forever.
To be careful of the feeling that some accomplishment was attained by one's own human efforts or that all was done by the Power we called forth. That is a trap of the human ego.
To remember in any accomplishment to give credit first to one's own 'I AM' Presence and then to the assisting Ascended Masters and Cosmic Beings and to any physical channel(s).
To know that pride is a very subtle thing and it is very selfish. And that deceitful things are done through pride.
That if there is jealousy in one's feelings, it must be rooted out.
I am learning:
That the Great Powers of Light do not come to mankind, except when one makes certain Conscious Effort and has sufficient Understanding of the Laws of Life, which are then applied to one's daily living.
That nothing but selfless Love will give us our Freedom. That we must make up our minds to be kind, constructive and become the Great Cosmic Christ Love of the Ascended Masters....or stop expecting Freedom.
That one must give every other Life Stream complete Freedom to do what that one might choose to do with no opinions, without the impulse to say something unkind.
To never let an unkind word be spoken nor an unkind feeling go forth.
Most importantly I am learning:
When confronted with a difficult situation, My Presence will fight my battles if I can hold my Peace.
That I Am more comfortable when I can hold my Peace.
That many times Victory is in holding the Silence and pouring Love to all concerned.
I am learning:
That Victory comes from within myself when I am Victorious over any human quality that might try to act through me. That no matter what is happening around me, there is no excuse for anything but Blessings to go forth from me.
I am learning:
To take my stand in Great Calm Mastery and using my God-Authority that 'my human has no Power' in my world....to allow the Christ Light within me to flow out to everything and everybody in the world about me.
That every moment of my waking consciousness needs to be a Song of Joy and of Victory and of Love and Blessing. That any destructive impulse that mars the Beauty of my Life must be dissolved and consumed.
That I must never miss the opportunity to help others Beautify their lives and surroundings by pouring out to them the Cosmic Love of my 'I AM' Presence and that of the Ascended and Angelic Host. It does not make any difference whose Life it is!
That I am working with God-Life in all I do. That Love flowing from me will meet no resistance. That all Life loves Harmony and Kindness....even the most ferocious animals in the jungle.
I am learning:
That mistakes cannot be corrected by more mistakes. That we can choose to let go of any destructive quality and feeling in our beings and worlds, including all destructive etheric records, and just put them in a Cosmic Violet Flame Incinerator, replacing them with the Flame of Cosmic Christ Forgiveness and Love.
And sealing everything in the Cosmic Flame of Victory, we can give that Flame full dominion in our lives forevermore.
I have learned to allow all feelings within me to sing a Song of Cosmic Love and Freedom Supreme for all mankind....Seeing the Cosmic Flame of Victory flooding over the whole country side....watching It sweep out every thing that is causing distress to any part of Life.
I have become aware that the people and the Planet have very great needs....so much so that every individual should want to help every other Life Stream ascend closer to the Heights.
To that end, I have shared these Ideas,
these Secrets of Victory,
as a Way of helping all become Victorious over all that
is less than Victory in this physical world,
Each individual becoming, in time, a
Sacred Flame of Cosmic Christ Victory and Love.
Which is Eternal Freedom to all Life.

And I am ever grateful to be reminded of These Great Truths. The Thoughts for this Essay came to me after reading Words of the Cosmic Being we know as Mighty Victory,
His Words were spoken through the
Beloved Messenger,
