Like a hidden treasure returning to the light, this long-forgotten chapter of Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East reaches us today as a gift of remembrance.

It reminds us that Truth never disappears; it simply waits until our hearts are ready to receive it.

May these words awaken within us the memory of our divine nature, our unity with the Infinite, and the eternal love that embraces us in every breath.

The Lost Chapter – Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East

After we had seated ourselves comfortably, Jesus continued the conversation:

“When we stand united with the sum of all intelligence, when we identify ourselves as a real part of this intelligence, and know with certainty that this is the Great Principle, God, we soon become aware that all the intelligence of the entire cosmic universe is working with us.

We quickly realize as well that the intelligence of every great genius, as well as the tiny mentality of the cell within the body, is working with us in perfect harmony and accord.

We are openly allied with the great intelligent cosmic spirit.

Indeed, we are that great spirit; we are the consciousness of the universe.

The moment we feel this truth, nothing can keep us from divinity.

From this universal consciousness we may draw all knowledge; we know that we may know all, without study or reasoning process, not going from lesson to lesson nor point to point.

Lessons are needed only to bring us to the attitude in which we can step forward into this thought.

Then we become complete and inclusive of all thought.

There is a full current of motivating thought that is irresistible, and we know that nothing can turn us aside from true accomplishment.

We are with the whole; thus, we act irresistibly with the whole.

No condition can prevent our accomplishment.

A drop of water is weak only when it is removed from the ocean; place it back, and it is as powerful as the whole ocean.

Whether or not we like or believe this idea matters not.

It is intelligent law, and we are that great reality.

The sum of all Truth is the Great Principle, God.

From eternity to eternity, whether we think it a great truth or a small truth, each true word, thought, or spoken, is part of the Great Truth, the Great Whole, the Universal Truth — and we are that vast reality.

When we realize this unity and stand absolutely with Truth, then we have the whole support of Truth, and our irresistibility is increased.

It is the force of the ocean returning to the wave that gives the wave its power; this is God-force, of which man is part.

The sum of all Love is the Great Principle, God.

It is the sum of every affection, every fervent emotion, every loving thought, look, word, or act.

Every love, drawn great or small, sublime or humble, makes the Infinite One of active Love, and nothing is too great for us.

As we love generously, we have the full ocean of cosmic Love with us.

That which seems the least calculated is the greatest, extending into absolute perfection; thus, the entire universe of Love is consciously with us.

There is no greater power on earth or in heaven than pure Love.

The earth becomes heaven; heaven is the true home of humanity.

In conclusion, the sum of every condition, every form, every being, is the Infinite One Cosmic Principle, God — whether individuals, worlds, planets, stars, atoms, electrons, or the tiniest particles.

All together form the Infinite Whole: whose body is the universe, whose mind is cosmic intelligence, whose soul is cosmic love.

Woven together in one whole, their bodies, minds, and souls are bound with the cohesive force of love; yet each functions in eternal individual identity, moving freely in its own orbit and octave of harmony, drawn and held by the Love of this universe of harmony.

We constitute this great Being which nothing can oppose.

It is composed of every unit of humanity as well as of every unit of the universe.

If one part of a unit excludes itself from the whole, it makes no difference to the living Principle, but it makes a great difference to the unit.

The ocean is unconscious of the displacement of the drop, but the drop is very conscious of the ocean when it returns or reunites with it.

It is not enough for us to say that we are near the Great Cosmic Principle, God.

We must know with certainty that we are one with, in, and of, and wholly amalgamated with the Principle; that we cannot be separated or independent from God, the Principle.

Thus, we work with the principle of power that is all power.

It is the law that in the principle we live, move, and have our being.

So, when we wish to come in contact with God, we do not think of something far away or difficult to attain.

We need only know that God is as much within us as all around us, and that we are wholly included in God; that we are consciously in the presence of God, present in God, and acting with full power.”

The Lost Chapter – Part II

“In the beginning, man was created in the image and likeness of God.

That likeness is not a body with eyes, ears, nose, mouth, hands, and feet, nor with physical organs or functions.

That image and likeness was, and is, the soul — the consciousness of the universe, the real ego of man.

It is the only begotten Son of God, the Father, the great Principle, the Universal Cause.

From this Source, man drew his entire supply for body and soul.

In this he was conscious of the body as the spiritual body of Christ, the only begotten of God, in which he was created.

In this he was conscious that the body was filled with every attribute, function, and quality of God.

It was the Christ, the Son of God, the image and likeness of God the Father complete.

This is the temple of God, wherein God is holy temple.

The only begotten Son, the Christ, was, and is, the spiritual nucleus within, around which the body was formed, and the body was complete and perfect from the beginning.

In this spiritual nucleus, man stood forth, the Christ of God’s creation.

Then man was given free will and full dominion over every form and every condition.

He held this dominion as long as he remained in contact with the Principle, God.

As he lived true to that image and likeness, he drew directly from the spiritual, the Father, the Principle, God, the source of all creation.

He did not need any other help, for he was complete in God.

The moment he turned from that direct contact, the moment he sought any other source, he began to fall.

He fell by his own will, not by any command of God.

He was still the Son of God, created in the image and likeness of God, and he still had dominion; but when he separated himself in consciousness, he began to misuse that dominion.

He began to build conditions of which he had no need, to create forms that were not like God, and these became limitations.

These conditions were not imposed upon him by God, for God never changes.

They were the outgrowth of his own misuse of his God-given power.

Thus he fell into limitation, into sin, disease, discord, and death.

These are but the creations of man, and they have no existence in God.

The moment man realizes this, the moment he looks again to the Source and lives true to that image and likeness, these false creations will disappear.

They will dissolve as mist before the morning sun.

Then man will stand forth once more as the Christ, the Son of God, free, perfect, and eternal, as he was in the beginning.”

The Lost Chapter – Part III

“When man once more realizes his dominion, when he consciously unites again with the Source, the Father, the Principle, God, and lives true to that image and likeness, then he is free.

He is no longer bound by conditions, no longer limited by forms of his own making.

He lives above sin, disease, discord, and death.

He lives in the freedom of the Sons of God.

In this consciousness, man sees that all things are possible.

He knows that the power of God is within him, working through him, and acting with full power.

He realizes that he is one with God, that he is in the Father and the Father in him.

He knows that he is not only with Christ, but that he is the Christ, the only begotten Son of God, the image and likeness of God made manifest.

In this realization, man no longer seeks outside himself.

He knows that the kingdom of God is within, that the Christ is within, that the Spirit is within.

He looks not to man, nor to conditions, nor to anything external.

He looks within, to the Source, and finds there the fullness of all things.

This is the resurrection and the life.

This is the truth that makes man free.

This is the light that lighted every man that cometh into the world.

This is the Christ of God revealed in man.

And as man knows this truth, he manifests it.

He brings it forth into expression.

He shows forth the works of God.

He heals the sick, he raises the dead, he casts out devils, he preaches the glad tidings to the poor.

He does the works that Jesus did, and greater works shall he do, because he goes to the Father, the Source, the Principle, God.

Then man sees that death is but the outgrowth of his own thoughts, the result of his separation from God.

He sees that life is eternal, that he is immortal, that he is free, perfect, and complete now and forever.

He knows that he is one with all life, one with all love, one with all power, one with all wisdom, one with all substance.

He knows that he is in the Kingdom of Heaven here and now, and that this Kingdom is all around him and within him.”

The Lost Chapter – Part IV

“When man knows this, he knows that the body is not material, but spiritual; not physical, but divine; not mortal, but immortal; not corruptible, but incorruptible.

He sees that it is the temple of God, the dwelling place of the Most High, the habitation of the Spirit, the house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

He knows that it is the body of Christ, the Son of God, the image and likeness of God made manifest.

In this realization, the body is transformed.

It puts on immortality, it puts on incorruption, it puts on divinity.

It is glorified with the glory of God.

It shines with the light of Spirit.

It radiates the love of God.

It becomes the instrument through which God manifests Himself to the world.

Then man sees that he is not separate from God, not separate from life, not separate from love, not separate from power, not separate from wisdom, not separate from substance.

He knows that he is one with God, one with life, one with love, one with power, one with wisdom, one with substance.

He knows that he is the Christ of God, the Son of God, the image and likeness of God made manifest.

In this realization, man reigns.

He has dominion.

He rules all things.

He is the master of every condition, the lord of every form.

He speaks the word, and it is done.

He commands, and it stands fast.

He says to the sick, Be healed — and they are healed.

He says to the dead, arise — and they arise.

He says to the storm, be still — and it is still.

He says to the mountain, Be removed — and it is removed.

For he knows that the power of God is within him, working through him, and acting with full power.”

The Lost Chapter – Part V

“As we awaken to this inheritance, we awaken to the beauty and purity of the eternal message: that our bodies are forever beautiful, pure, and perfect.

They are always the glorious, divine spiritual bodies—the true temples of God.

This awakening convinces us that our bodies have never fallen from this high realm.

It was only a human concept that we believed they had descended.

As soon as this thought is released, our body is restored to its true divine inheritance.

The fragrance of a warm summer evening spreads through all of nature, and our bodies begin to shine with this radiance.

Soon, pure rays of white light appear within our bodies; they are enflamed by this light, and this gentle yet brilliant living light permeates the clear atmosphere around us like white-gold vapor.

This light steadily increases until it covers and imbues everything around us.

Bathed in this radiance, a pure crystal white light emerges, sparkling with brilliance greater than the purest diamond, yet emanating from our luminous, radiant, and beautiful bodies.

Here we stand together upon the holy Mount of Transfiguration, our bodies radiant, glowing, fully immersed in divine life.

The Son of Man has become the Christ of God, and the Kingdom of God is once more among humanity—more essential now because others have accepted and brought the Kingdom into full dominion.

The light of the Kingdom of God grows stronger with acceptance.

This is the true body humanity has always had and possesses fully today.

Such a body has always existed and will always exist.

It is a body so luminous that no germ of old age or weakness can find place within it.

It is a body so alive that it cannot die. Such a body may be crucified a thousand times and, through such crucifixions, emerge ever more triumphant.

Such a body stands forth as the divine master of every situation.

Such a body is eternally resurrected. This is the message of the New Age for you—the same message that appeared as the New Age message two thousand years ago.

It is the same today as it was then; it is the resurrection of the message of the old age.

This message was spoken thousands of centuries ago in such simple language that even babies could understand it.

The message is that man, of his own free will, will leave the kingdom made by human hands and evolve into the Kingdom of God.

The Son of Man must realize His divinity, manifest this divinity in His body and affairs, and become the Christ of God in the Kingdom of God.

“Do you not know that you are gods?”

Know within yourself that the Kingdom of God is the most natural thing in the world.

Indeed, if man abides in Christ, he is a new creation.

It is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom and to every man passed into Him.

When asked ‘When?’ the answer is always: when the outward is as the inward, when the great oak sleeping in the acorn awakens within the whole acorn before the tree can grow.

“Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, nor has it entered the heart of man what God has prepared for those who love Him.”

God knows that within the grand structure of the universe, there is a splendid place for every human being, and each has his own individual place.

The structure can only hold because each is in the right place.

Does this message not lighten each one’s burden and adorn every countenance with a smile—even those who think their work is like dumb cattle being driven?

So I tell you, you are a specially designed creation, you have a particular mission, you have a light to give, a work to do that no one else can give or accomplish; and if you open your heart, mind, and soul fully to Spirit, you will learn from Him in your own heart.

There you will realize that your own Father speaks to you.

No matter your fanciful or careless thoughts, you will find that your Father loves you with devotion and tenderness the instant you turn toward the Inner God.

The anointing you have from God remains within you, and you do not need the teaching of any man. Is this not a resurrection beyond the old thought?

It is not necessary for any man to instruct you. It is only necessary to receive the anointing of God that has always been within you.

You may accept other aids from brothers, but you are always guided and taught from within; the truth is there for you, and you will find it.

This truth always teaches that humanity is a complete accord—not merely a unity, but a great harmony; and combined with God, it is the great One. Humanity is more than a brotherhood.

It is One Man, just as a vine and its branches are one vine.

No part or unit can be separated from the whole.

The prayer of Christ is: “that all may be one.”

“What you have done to the least of my children, you have done to Me.” Now you know Christ, through whom the entire family in heaven and on earth is called.

The truth is: “All is One.” One spirit, one body, the Great Lord Body of all humanity.

The Great Love, Light, and Life of God unite this body into one complete whole.”

With gratitude, for the uplifting teachings you offered us.

Wherever you are, may God bless you.
