Sixth Communion

Communion With the Angel of Life


1

p: The Sixth Communion is with the Angel of Life, she who gives strength and vigor to mortals.

2

c: Look, if the wax is not pure, how then can the candle give a steady flame? And if the body is not full of Life, how can the Light of the Creator shine through that one?

3

p: Go, then, toward the high-growing trees, and before one of them which is beautiful, high-growing and mighty, consider these words: "Hail, O good, living tree, made by the Creator! ’Surely we are each filled with that Life which comes from above, which fills all things." Then will the River of Life flow between you and your sister the tree, and health of the body, swiftness of foot, quick hearing of the ears, strength of the arms, and the eyesight of the eagle can be yours.

4

Such is the Communion with the Angel of Life, holy messenger of the Earthly Mother.

5

a: Jesus says: "I have come that they might have Life, and that they might have it more abundantly."

6

c: Show us, O Lord, the mysteries of the higher life in communion with you.

7

p: Be not ungrateful to your Creator, for he has given you Life.

8

Seek not the Law only in your scriptures, for the Law is Life, whereas, the scriptures are only words.

9

I tell you truly, Moses received not the greater Law from the Gods in writing, but through the living word.

10

a: The Law is living word, of living Gods, to living prophets, for living mortals.

11

p: In everything that has life is the Law written.

12

It is found in the grass, in the trees, in the rivers, in the mountains, in the birds of heaven, in the forest creatures, and in the fishes of the sea, but it is found chiefly in yourselves.

13

c: All living things are nearer to the Gods than the scriptures, which are without Life.

14

The Gods so made Life, and all living things, that they might, by the Ever-living word, teach the principles of the Heavenly Father and the Earthly Mother to mortals.

15

p: The Gods confined not the words of the Law to the pages of books, but in your heart, and in your spirit, are they written.

16

Search the Light within, for the Law is written in your breath, your blood, your bone, your flesh, your eyes, your ears, and in every part of your body.

17

c: The words of the Law are present in the air, in the water, in the earth, in the plants, in the sunbeams, in the depths, and in the heights.

18

p: All these speak to you of the Law, that you may understand the tongue, and the will, of the Living Gods.

19

c: The scriptures are the works of mortals, showing forth the inspiration of the Almighty, but Life, and all its hosts, are the work of the Gods.

20

p: First, O Great Creator, you did create the heavenly hosts, and you did reveal the heavenly laws.

21

c: You gave us understanding from your own mind, and you made our bodies to live.

22

a: We are grateful, Heavenly Father, for all your manifold gifts of life, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, for the precious things put forth by the moon, for the great things of the ancient mountains, for the precious things of the Everlasting hills, and for the precious things of the earth.

23

We are grateful, Heavenly Father, for the vigor of health—health of the body, quickness of mind, with swiftness of foot, quick hearing of the ears, strength of the arms, and eyesight of the eagle.

24

For all the manifold gifts of Life, we do glory in the Fire of Life, through the Father, the holy Light of Ahman, which reveals the Heavenly Order.

25

We do worship in the Fire, the Light from above, that Fire which is in the House of the Lord, flowing thence to the Children of Light.

26

p: Behold, now, the Child of Light, who communes with the Angel of Life; see how his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the muscles of his chest.

27

He moves his legs like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together.

28

His bones are as tubes of brass; his limbs are like bars of iron.

29

c: He eats of the table of the Earthly Mother; the grass of the field, and the waters of the stream, do nourish him; surely the mountains bring him forth food.

30

p: Blessed is his strength and beauty, for he does serve the Law.

31

A sanctuary of the Holy Spirit is the body in which the Fire of Life burns with Eternal Light.

32

a: We thank you, Heavenly Father, for you have put us at a source of running streams, at a living spring in a land of drought, watering an Eternal Garden of Wonders, in which grows the Tree of Life, mystery of mysteries, growing Everlasting branches for Eternal planting, to sink their roots into the stream of Life, which flows from an Eternal Source.
