Funeral Ceremony

Lovingly dedicated to my sister, mother and all Souls entering the Light, or G.L.E. as known to Masons . . . light merges into Light, life to Life, as under Law soul absorbing . . . into Oversoul. And more than flesh and blood, Love reigns supreme through the very Heart of God. The Law of Attraction sweeping all within its wake, for which, at decisions hour deaths great illusion is dispelled. Where indeed we utter at-one, with the Christ : I / and my Father / are One. That whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. It is here, that the sons of God within ourselves attract, to Life returning unto the Heart. It is thus, we celebrate a soul, a son of God returning unto its own. Let us then strengthen attraction of soul, to Oversoul. Let us change, with her, all sense of separation not because the body is weak, but because the Spirit is willing : For we know : that the sons of men are one, and we are one with them. Let all men love. Let love prevail.

Commentary
The poem presupposes the existence of an orderly universe governed by an Absolute Boundless Condition and the various Laws it is governed by. One such law, the great Law of Attraction according to the Guides of the race governs not only the very big as the solar system and humanity but also the very small, the individual human unit. For the latter this includes the process of death. The reason for this, noted by a Tibetan Master is that the atoms not only of the human physical body but also of the emotional and mental vehicles return, via such power or law of attraction to their great resolving reservoirs or source, relatively soon after the time of death: a law equally applying to the Soul, whom on its own plane ever realizes it is one, with all souls and so identifying more fully (without lower hindering vehicles) as a result of this process, with the Oversoul. Through the treading of the spiritual Path of greatest resistance as its sometimes called (discipleship and initiation) the final perfecting/refining stages of the lower vehicles is attained. Collectively this is called under Christian phraseology the establishing of the Kingdom of God on earth. Today the new discipleship is a science. Not merely based on faith, but on rules, laws and principles for which Those Who have trod this way before us have mastered and suggest, for younger aspirants willing and ready for this particular challenging opportunity to likewise tread, and attain. Also under such Path there is an immense science of correspondences which interprets God to man. Through study for example of the various analogies and comparisons as the Heart of God correlating to the Law of Attraction and likewise to the further principle and law of Love as much the Son (the second or Love) aspect of the Trinity the greater fusions and syntheses for which each man forms an interrelated part at least potentially can be interpreted and understood with far deeper and comprehensive insight. Though time of course for the assimilation of the necessary teachings (new or recapitulated where available from earlier lives,) needs equally to be considered. Three main pillars of the Path include study, service and meditation. The new discipleship training necessitates a duly well-stocked lower mental body, or concrete mind. For this vehicle is the great bridging vehicle for allowing initial and due contact with the true Thinker, the Soul, and for interpreting the latters light of Wisdom or Insight and as a consequence for putting such, to good use, through a life of practical service for humanity and the Plan. We attract, what we radiate or invoke. As the physical and emotional vehicles are refined alongside the lower mental and its inclination to serving as the analytical integrating agent it sums up those necessary wherewithals for evoking the higher. The general mystical-spiritual or -religious path however is still the way for many not ready for the more vigorous mental-and-spiritual esoteric path, even so, still fulfilling an essential part in the divine process. Needless to say humanity is also very much in the equation for solving her own problems. Thinking only the elite, the esoteric or deeply spiritual folk hold all solutions to world problems is a vast mistake. Humanity is moving on to coordinating more of her mental vehicle and thereby, as the great bridging agent holding an unparalleled opportunity with that, which is above. The key to humanitys upliftment and enlightenment lies in the genuine realization of where each is focused, (or within which vehicle) and the needed educational tools applied for uplifting and enlightening such a focused orientation up to, the next rung or vehicle until the top of the ladder is reached.

Those oriented within lower emotional desires and physical instincts need to be taught how to uplift and enlighten their focus up to higher emotional goals and aims. Those oriented in a more cultured emotional and a little of the lower mental need to move towards such fullness of the intellect as the great integrating or bridging agent between, the Personality and the Soul, or, through the broader correspondence between Humanity and the Spiritual Hierarchy of Light we might otherwise call, of Enlightened Human Beings.1 The next step or rung not merely that of perfection but of a universe based on the principle of Hierarchy, (or hierarchical Hylozoism2 for all is life: from the tiniest of atoms to impenetrable infinity) must needs equally be sown into the fertile soil or methodology upon which the next higher vehicle can grow and flourish. From another angle each cell or hierarchical system is composed of energy or light. All therefore is energy or light at one rarefied level or another. It is only a matter of teaching students to teach themselves the whys or wherefores for penetrating the current (vehicle) barrier to more growth, where the true goal to education enlightenment may be seen flowering upon the earth: pending of course right application and utilisation is added, to right realisation. Through sharing the creative nature of the Soul (which often emerges through challenging opportunities or crises) may all the sooner our co-Creator responsibilities with the Oversoul, the overseeing Creator, be established. Isolated uncoordinated efforts cannot uplift a material society or one lost in the abyss of moral relativism.3 A New World, a New Age and a New Humanity are all on their way. Humanity holds her own destiny. The scales are not entirely tipped until we engage the Adjudicators hands and feet for reversing a selfish materialism onto the Lighted Way embodying that lighted Kingdom of Souls, within ourselves. Those Who have traveled a little further upon the Path than the average the Guides of the race indicate that death is not the end. It is merely a doorway in to LIFE. On the other side prior to further rebirth for the majority greater freedom is also afforded along with added learning on the Way. But in the world of form, the rules and guidelines are already distributed worldwide. It remains but for us to strengthen the circulation and to adding our further creative livingness or deeper insight into the equation that others might see, and so tread, its livingness. In this light, the spirit of the poem is offered to aid quashing humanitys fears and misconceptions concerning death, and through the enunciation of the fact to the immortality of Life, or Spirit besides the eternal nature or progress of the Soul. The same note is profoundly and beautifully summed up, in that Ancient Hindu Mantram: Lead us O Lord, from darkness to Light, from the unreal to the Real, from death to Immortality.

Further names for this higher group include, the Communion of Saints, Those just men made perfect, the liberated (Buddhist) Sangha, (Hindu) Rishis and (Chinese) Lohans amongst others. 2 The philosophy that everything within the universe is alive or that nothing is inanimate (or without soul). 3 The theory which declares all or even no morality systems, as equally valid.
