If you try to imitate a schol- ar, a philosopher, even a hero, a saint or an initiate, you will certain- ly receive some small particles of their virtue., and qualities but never aS many or as pure as those you receive if your mode! is the sun. “The image of perfection is the sun and if you adopt our nearest star as your model — if, like the sun, you think of nothing but bringing light, warmth and life to al! crea- tures — then you will really work your own transformation. “For even if you never acquire alt the light, warmth and life of the sun, the desire to do so is sufficient to project you into heavenly regions where you can really perform won- ders. ; “This desire to communicate light, warmth and life to other crea- tures will make you, yourself, more luminous, more loving and more alive.” D.H. Lawrence wrote a poem, Conscience: “Conscience is sun- awareness and our deep instinct not to go aguinst the sun.” .

May the heart centre be lumi- nous and alive. Accept no centre that has become dull, feeble, soiled and inactive. Clean up! Free, clear, and heal! Look at all those that you accepted as guides in the past. Examine them, one after the other, with the question, “Are you as luminous as the sun? No? OK, out you go! And you, are you as warm as the sun? No? You, too; out!” ~ Once you have cleansed, bring in the sun, install, and when our nearest star is truly present, real and alive in you, then you will see what you are capable of! When the sun arrives all your inhabitants will feel that their leader has come home. ALL SIGNS As of July 10. we were 2,000 days away from the year 2000. Go figure.
