"Those who are devoted to God should study the lives of mystics. They provide their readers with the primers of illumination." –Flower A. Newhouse, "The Quest"
Lectures by Flower A. Newhouse
From Services recorded from 1950-1990
Here is a complete list of recorded lectures given by Rev. Flower A. Newhouse on a selected topic between 1950 and 1990. The life and writings of Flower A. Newhouse are those of a Christian mystic, and her insights into the inner realms of life provide us with a path to wholeness that she called "Living the Life." These teachings are not doctrine, but a practical guide to the direct, immediate experience of God. Flower's mission was also to reawaken humanity to the reality of angels, a work she began with her first book in 1937, and added to in many published writings and in recorded lectures.
Michaelmas: Feast of the Angels (010-1 9/26/1954)Rejoice and give reverence to God that there is an order that is with Him purely, and loyally, that are able, willing, and desirous of companioning us on our path. Flower quotes widely from the Book of Enoch and intersperses the quotes with her own words. |
The Angelic Shining Hosts (010-2 9/29/1954)Discusses many Orders of Angels and describes representatives of ranks in these orders. You should never feel lonely, neglected, fearful, defeated when you remember that there are the Shining Ones, watching with keen interest and a great desire to help-to raise you, to stimulate you into contact with your own supernal inner resources. |
The Kingdom of the Shining Ones (020-2 12/4/1955)Flower describes the great love and caring of these higher beings and all the benefits Angels bring to mankind and the planet. She shares examples of Angels as found in the Bible and other forms of literature. She shares experiences she and others have had first hand with these magnificent and Holy Ones. But most of all, she brings the reality of these high Presences to the forefront of our consciousness. |
Michaelmas Feast of the Angels (030-2 9/25/1955)Focuses on the importance of Angel awareness to Christians. Urges us to acknowledge the Angels at all times, not just at high occasions such as Michaelmas and Christmas, but in our daily lives. Cites several passages in the Bible where Angels are referenced and shares of great souls who were aware of Angel Presences, and world religions that honor the Angels. |
Michaelmas Program including a ceremony depicting the Holy Fire of Cleansing on the Inner Planes of Mount Cook (744a1 9/25/1981) |
Michaelmas Program including a Pageant Celebrating the Angelic Hosts and an Angel Pledge Ritual (848a1 9/27/1985) |

Christward Principles
The Living Christ is the Lord of angels and of men and the model of our own becoming. His service is the broadcasting of the Divine Christ Spirit, the light of redemption. His influence awakens in us the Christing of our own natures.
Christian Mysticism is simply a method of reverence and devotion to God. It is a path of attainment which leads to the Divine Reality - to first-hand knowing of God. The mystical path stresses the way of Divine union with God through illumination.
The Way of Discipleship is a way of drawing ever closer to the Divine Presence. It is a voluntary surrender of the entire self to the service of God. It pays great attention to spiritual realities and goals inspiring us toward inner growth.
Meditation and Prayer are the disciplines that most directly draw us Godward and into the inner worlds. During these moments, we consciously purify ourselves of worldly or personal preoccupations and center ourselves wholly upon consciousness of God.
The Angelic Kingdom consists of beings created by God. They, like mankind, press toward the goal of perfection and union with the Supreme Spirit. Angels are purer and more spiritual than man. Their very spirituality readily makes them mediators between Heaven and Earth.
Nature provides healing and enlightenment. When wisely trod, the path to God through nature employs every faculty inherent in man. In nature, beauty shines in all its pristine essence before us. It is for us to newly discover and translate this beauty to our spirits and our senses.
