DETACHMENT FROM THE PHYSICAL WORLD

"Now is the time," He no less significantly remarks in another of
these Tablets, "for you to divest yourselves of the garment of attachment
to this world that perisheth, to be wholly severed from the physical
world, become heavenly angels, and travel to these countries. I swear by
Him besides Whom there is none other God that each one of you will
become an Isráfíl of Life, and will blow the Breath of Life into the souls
of others." And lastly this glorious promise in another of those immortal
Tablets: "Should success crown your enterprise, America will assuredly
evolve into a center from which waves of spiritual power will emanate,
and the throne of the Kingdom of God, will, in the plenitude of its
majesty and glory, be firmly established."

In one of the earliest Tablets addressed by Him to the American
believers these equally significant words have been penned: "If ye be
truly united, if ye agree to promote that which is the essential purpose,
and to show forth an all-unifying love, I swear by Him Who causeth
the seed to split and the breeze to waft, so great a light will shine forth
from your faces as to reach the highest heavens, the fame of your glory
will be noised abroad, the evidences of your preeminence will spread
throughout all regions, your power will penetrate the realities of all
things, your aims and purposes will exert their influence upon the great
and mighty nations, your spirits will encompass the whole world of
being, and ye will discover yourselves to be kings in the dominions of
the Kingdom, and attired with the glorious crowns of the invisible
Realm, and become the marshals of the army of peace, and princes of
the forces of light, and stars shining from the horizon of perfection, and
brilliant lamps shedding their radiance upon men."
