                        The Ancient Mystical White Brotherhood After the Order of Melchizedek
                          This book is written in the old ways as the author is an incarnated
                                     member of the Brotherhood, which BTW, also contains
                                       female members such as Quan Yin and White Tara!

While man lives in his physical body he is often given over to strange notions.  (That is the denser side
of matter, so called.)     Man never becomes perfectly free from the astral shell, which he builds for him-
self, out of every thought, word and deed while he occupies his time in the physical world.    The astral
shell conveys him after his transition.   Man in his rebellion clings to many of these peculiar and strange
notions, contrary to Truth;  therefore, it necessitates incarnations, birth after birth (name it as you will) until
at last man becomes free from all material superstitions and on the road where he will discard all
mental obstructions.   Then he will be weaving together the threads he gathered in the shuttle across
the loom of life, for he will be finishing the pattern of his life's record.

The Ancient Mystical Brotherhood teaches that man of earth should not aspire to rank, station, prestige
or power.   All mankind should seek the one great asset, which is humility.  Unselfishness and love shall
reign supreme without discrimination.

When men of earth shall see other men of earth as spiritual beings there need never be any fear of
the future.   Even though man may be in tatters and rags, or perchance clothed in garments of wealth;
yellow, black or brown of skin;  it is not the outer appearance in which man shall be interested, it is
the Inner spiritual being, the Christ power working through that physical body which should occupy and
hold his attention.

There are many men and women walking along the highway of life in shabby or ragged attire.  They have
faces and hands soiled from toil but their hearts are clean and pure.  Conversely, there are those whose
bodies are in silks and satins and know not that they are in Truth equal to the beggars;  because their
hearts are not clean and pure.   Remember and never forget, they are all spiritual beings, children of the
Living God.   Therefore, let there be no discrimination.

Ever remember and bear in mind that members of the Ancient Mystical White Brotherhood are always
creators of Good Will, harmony and love, never strife nor deception, being advocates of the living,
radiant light of Divine Love.   They always encourage the noblest attributes in others and they frequently
strive to inspire man toward perfecting the spiritual growth, by applying the understanding he has and
appropritating its resulting wisdom in his consciousness.

Quite frequently the question is raised as to the reference of the word "White" Brotherhood.  That reference
has nothing to do with the color of the skin or to any race.   It does indiciate the radiance of the spiritual
color of the soul (its AURA).   It indicates the pureness of the love expressed by the soul's divinity.
The Divine wears many colored bodies.   It is the Heart which must be "White" or pure and not what we
hear as "Black hearted" or corrupt, no matter what the color of the skin may be;  white or some other color.

In God there is no separation.  Since God is both male and female in principle and principle is sexless,
God expresses the divine nature of both male and female.   The Council is also a part of God, you know,
and it also makes no discrimination.  There are female Masters just as there are male. The male members
are referred to as Fraters and the female members are Sorors.  In the etheric planes of life all members
are recognized as Fraters, meaning brothers;  for in the realm of pure consciousness of spirit, the recognition
is as equals in all attributes.  It is written in the Holy Writ, " They neither marry nor are given to marriage. "
(Matt. 22:30).

There is a sacred duty the Sorors render to Mothershood on earth;  it is what is frequently referred to as
the Nature's Mothering principle of life, that principle which sustains, nourishes and lovingly protects.
The Sorors lovingly grant this service and one of the greatest tasks is in the watching over the young mothers
during the gestation and the final coming forth of the body of the babe.  Also another one of the tasks among
women collaborators is to minister unto the children and youth in the many organizations, institutions and
hospitals of the physical plane of life.   They are always there to give aid and assistance.

The Master Jesus said, " I go to prepare a place for you, that where I am, there you may also be. "
They have a place prepared.  Each one whom they call and who has chosen to follow the call is precious to
the Council.   There is a path of direction for each one.  If it were not so, there would be no calling of man to
come up higher to serve the Father's Mansion, the Universe.  

Man cannot serve until there is a necessity for service.  As the necessity arises each one that they have called
stands ready to answer the summons.  Spread the love of God wherever you can.  Whatever you do, do it lovingly.
Love is the greatest Power in the Universe.   Thus many experiences of life appear as what man calls miracles.
Love sent forth brought about the seeming miracles.
