Those who are devoted to God should study the lives of mystics. They provide their readers with the primers of illumination.

Glamour: The Biggest Test of Discipleship (019-1 Sunday 2/7/1954)Flower teaches us about glamour and its pitfalls and illusions. How not to get trapped by others that use glamour for selfish means and how other religions also use this untruth. She goes into the areas of money, health, beauty an love and how glamour can entrap one in each value. She warns us that if we fall for glamour we eventually have to come back and start over from the start. Excerpts... |
Tests and How to Meet Them (003-1 Sunday 3/7/1954)Talk given in Los Angeles describes types of tests, how to meet them and reasons for spiritual testing. Determine each of four characteristics that are trying to be developed in us. Pray in order to meet this test and cause through our yearning for God a responsiveness and a new conditioning and develop a plan by which this problem can be transcended. Followed by 8 minutes of Q&A. Excerpts... |
The Value of Christian Retreats (008-2 Sunday 8/22/1954)Describes persons attracted to retreats. Lists character traits required for commitment to serve. Differentiates between prepared persons and those not yet ready. The highest retreats of today do combine the best powers and frequencies of all the rays, while keeping true to the motivation of their own distinctive outpouring. Excerpts... |
Every Man Is Responsible for His Standards (009-1 Sunday 8/29/1954)Flower reminds us about the importance of having a spiritual code or keynotes to live by. Every individual is like a sponge absorbing, but we must become ever more selective and assimilate only that which we choose, only that which discrimination tells us will give us healthier mental hygiene. As we practice the Christ's fullest teachings, our own moral code will continue to expand, and we will be a stronger crusader and pioneer and protector of the weak, the fearful, the downtrodden, or the attacked than if we were not living to the highest and fullest that we understood. And what we ask for ourselves we must ask with the same vigor for all. Excerpts... |
The Value of Newness (014-2 Sunday 12/26/1954)Flower speaks of the value of looking at ourselves, our relationships, and our lives in new ways, with new eyes. The beginning of a New Year lends itself to doing just that, and it is vital for our spiritual growth. Excerpts... |
The Art of Giving Oneself (016-1 Sunday 1/16/1955)In this talk on the importance of becoming more self-giving, Flower shares the need for us to strive in this way. She talks about the harmfulness of pride and ego. She stresses, 'Now wherever we find people troubled with pride, God is not worshipped. Proud people worship themselves, not God. And as long as pride exists in any iota or degree in any part of us, we are our most bitter enemy and nothing else can hurt us so much as this very diabolical force.' She uses Albert Schweitzer as an example of one is completely self-giving. Excerpts... |
Toward the Development of Creativity (017-1 Sunday 1/23/1955)We need to have more of the realization of the creativity powers which are inherent within us. The soul is the source of inspired ideas, in tune with the causal world - the reservoir of God's light, Godıs information, all the archetypes of the future and past. Excerpts... |
Women in the Year 1955 (024-2 Sunday 5/8/1955)Flower describes several examples of the pitfalls of the spiritual life that are most negative and destructive, contrasting them with correct motivation and search for Truth. Excerpts... |
The Spiritual Significance of Friendship (025-2 Sunday 6/5/1955)There are cosmic currents that heal, inspire, direct, bless or release our burdens. Our relationships depend on what we have within to give or receive. We must develop an open love and deep feelings for others in order to develop God-qualities. Our ability to love is an index of character. Excerpts... |
The Value of Group Consciousness (023-2 Sunday 6/12/1955)We should be interested in every cause that is just, in every cause that speaks for a greater good up to which mankind must climb. Since one person is limited in his means, in his mentality, in his strength, it takes many working together for mankind to know the great blessing that cooperation can bring. Excerpts... |
Keeping Spiritual Interests Creative (012-2 Sunday 8/21/1955)Expresses the importance of living one's life from the Kingdom. Flower describes ways we can practice and live our lives with spiritual creativity at the center keeping us focused on the Higher Kingdom of God's world. She explains how a person is not truly living his or her life as a Christian unless they are living in this way. Excerpts... |
The Grace of Thanksgiving (035-2 Sunday 11/20/1955)Inwardly and clairvoyantly, gratitude is seen as a vapor, orchid in color, a beautiful light lavender shade; it's fragrant. Intended to be grateful for our blessings which come to us by grace. Need to be ready for seeing the good of tests while they are here. Gratitude does not come until the soul is awake in us. Excerpts... |
Insights into the Nature of Obsession (036-2 Sunday 1/22/1956)Flower describes the darkness of obsessive emotions and characteristics and what we can do to avoid them and bring God Light into our lives. Excerpts... |
How Greatly Do We Value This Life? (046-2 Sunday 4/22/1956)Flower emphasizes the importance of valuing our time here on earth, and making the most of our lives. We have entered earth's life stream in order to be pressed by the limitations of time, into the exercise of our faculties, into greater and deeper and wiser growth, but we must cooperate every moment of our conscious time. Excerpts... |
Learning the Meaning of Acceptance (048-2 Sunday 9/9/1956)Life's highest lesson is constructive growth through positive acceptance. In this dimension, acceptance is our highest answer to God's will. The need to accept God's will, even though we don't understand it, is what is important. It's only when we trust a superior wisdom greater than our own, that we can with vision and faith and teachableness and flexibility, go forward. Excerpts... |
Growth in the Handling of Our Emotions (057-2 Sunday 9/23/1956)It is important for us to learn to control our emotions by choosing our thoughts and interpretations of others constructively. Excerpts... |
Let Us Love All (058-1 Sunday 9/30/1956)Those souls who are surcharged with the spaciousness and the inclusive consciousness of goodwill want to know and to understand and to love all. All of us, as we are traveling on the path to our Lord Christ, must recognize that we must move from the personal to the impersonal and from the impersonal to the universal. And we must move consciously, willingly and eagerly to open up our hearts. Excerpts... |
Being True to Ourselves (058-2 Sunday 10/7/1956)If you could think of persons in this world who had inspired you the most individually and directly I wonder if the definition of the quality that came to you most strongly was not one of goodwill. Those souls that are surcharged with the spaciousness and the inclusive consciousness of goodwill have learned many lessons. They dwell in areas of width that so many people never know anything about until they themselves want to know and to understand and to love all. Excerpts... |
The Refreshing Powers of Reverence (059-1 Sunday 10/21/1956)Reminds us how important it is to practice reverence in our daily lives in order to draw closer to God. When reverence is present it takes everything in us, every atom in us, up to God and surcharges these atoms with the regenerative power. When we live our lives in genuine reverence we are no longer living for ourselves, but for others. Describes the qualities that express reverence and shares many examples of individuals' experiences. Excerpts... |
The Use of Experience and Vision (061-2 Sunday 1/6/1957)Man would prefer that the world be perfect with no illness, pain or discord. We must not question God's Divine Plan but work with the life He has given us to refine and improve ourselves. Excerpts... |
What We Need to Polish in Greater Exercise of Our Use of Christian Truths (063-1 Sunday 3/17/1957)Flower explores the greater mysteries of Christ's teachings, focusing on the Holy Spirit and our need to call upon this great power to help us overcome ourselves. The Holy Spirit has a distinct function, and we are so much poorer for lack of exercising its qualities. She gives details and examples for each purpose of the Holy Spirit to help us understand each one further. She also expresses the importance of living in the present moment. Excerpts... |
Man's Three Great Needs (078-1 Sunday 11/3/1957)Flower reveals the three tasks we should be practicing to achieve our purpose for being on this earth. They are quite simple in theory, but very difficult for most of us to achieve in the outer world. Even if we believe in putting God first in our lives, most of us relegate the Divine to an inferior position. She says we should take the words printed on the U.S. currency, 'In God we trust,' and let that trust come alive. Excerpts... |
Highlights of Character Analysis (077-2 Sunday 1/19/1958)Flower shares insights on studying one's character through physical appearance as well as behavior. Much of the resource for this talk was taken from ancient Chinese studies, Dr. Byrd Whittell, and Manly Hall. She also talks about how hobbies reflect character. The purpose of this sharing is to enlighten us to those around us as well as to have a deeper understanding of ourselves. Excerpts... |
Spiritual Discipleship Retreat (3 of 9): Other Aspects of God (091-1 Sunday 6/22/1958)The Spirit of Truth is a very best means of our approach to the Eternal God and to learn of God. So many times we stand in the way of truth because we do not wish to listen intuitionally. It requires so much effort, only that of sincerity, but it does require us to still ourselves so truly that we can know that we can receive and experience a baptism of the Spirit of Truth. Excerpts... |
What Lies Behind Illness (087-2 Sunday 6/29/1958)There are with the exception of accidents, three general causes of illness. They are bacteria, degeneration, and stress. Functional disorders arise out of situational or environmental or work problems, or our relationship to our work situation or our family situation or the world at large. Out of the situational maladjustments come the disorders including headaches, colds, colitis, stomach upsets, and any number of conditions. Summarizes studies by Dr. Robert Collier Page on stress illnesses in the workplace. Excerpts... |
According to Thy Faith (089-2 Sunday 7/6/1958)Faith teaches us to stand at ease and restfully while God is working out all the answers in a way perhaps beyond our comprehension and our expectation, and in a much more interesting manner than we would idealize. Through sharing several examples of individuals, Flower describes what living in faith means. As we give our thoughts only believing one pointedly to the good side, we shall see that faith is creative and productive thought. And never have we any right to think in any other way Excerpts... |
Spiritual Discipleship Retreat (6 of 9) (092-2 Sunday 7/20/1958)We don't need to postpone our eternity because our eternity is now, and the soul, which has never left its threshold, can bring about the experience of Divine nowness if we cause the mind, emotions, energies, and physical form to be creatively subservient to that Holy One within each one. Excerpts... |
Faith for the Healing of the World (099-1 Sunday 10/26/1958)People are returning to church in large numbers because they are realizing that God is their only hope. The mission of our Lord in regard to helping man to be whole is being refounded ever more widely and clearly. Excerpts... |
The Heart of Thanksgiving (102-1 Sunday 11/23/1958)Thanksgiving is a gift of grace to us. It has the qualities which the developed Christian must express if he is to know the gift of enlightenment. Saying thank you to God is not a day by day and hourly event. We should never accept or take blessing from the Eternal without having a moment of saying thank you God. Excerpts... |
The Positive Life (106-2 Sunday 3/1/1959)Flower describes the Christ Ideal. She tells us that it is not enough to believe in a Deity, but we must strive to know God. She says that religion should make a difference, so much a difference that Christians should be known as Christians even though their names might not be known. They should express something, be far more tolerant, far more inspired and joyous and interested and outgoing and self-giving than are those who merely assent to God's Presence. Through descriptions and examples she guides us to follow the way of Christian Mysticism and reminds us that everyone who claims to love God has the great challenge to prove it by his or her living. Excerpts... |
Life's Unfinished Business (109-1 Sunday 4/19/1959)We know the weaknesses we have brought forward and in our reflection period each night we should review the day looking at what we have contributed to the past, the present and the future so we can unfold and develop our potentials. Flower describes a book on intuition that says if we want steadiness and self-control we must release self-indulgence. The intuitional faculty transcends the intellectual one and as we transcend and transform, we evolve, drop what binds us and come into a state of receptivity. Once we receive intuitions and they work out constructively, we begin to have a foothold in the world of God's Light and to more fully trust intuition. Excerpts... |
Giving Thanks with Praise (120-1 Sunday 11/22/1959)At Thanksgiving there are many who remember the author of life and the benefactor who has given them everything of good they have ever received. Only the deepest and most evolved intellect that has the wisdom to be thankful. Gratitude is a skill which needs to be developed and exercised. Nine tenths of what we receive as great gifts out of the grace of God. Ingratitude is revealed through a spirit of complaining and fault finding and discontent and grumbling. Story of a trip to New York when the Newhouse family all counted their blessings. Gratitude is accompanied by this sense of divine wonder. As we say these thanks, it occurs to us we live in a perpetually working miracle. Includes story of A.J. Cronin giving the thank you therapy to patients. Excerpts... |
Wholeness As an Ideal and Objective (123-1 Sunday 1/31/1960)We are taught by our Lord Christ that we were born or rather we were created before we were born on earth. In this inner creation we were made perfect. We also recognize that in being created Divine, we have nothing to do with our own Divinity, we gave no work to it, no development, we paid no price for it, it was a great gift. We must think not only from the standpoint of one incarnation, we think from the standpoint and vastness of eternity itself. Discussion of reincarnation. Excerpts... |
Spiritual Purposefulness (126-2 Sunday 3/13/1960)Explores the importance of having spiritual purposefulness or aims in our striving to be closer to God. Consider the means we are using to grow into the stature that the Christ has prepared for us. Faith always is powerful and is the one of the qualities to use, but it must be creative, it must be kept fresh and one must be adaptive to find ever new means to use to bring about the goal, the intention of our own inner transformation, and our achieving what the message of Lent tells us we can--the purification, the rising, the going through the way of the cross and coming out on the other side unselfed. Excerpts... |
The Baffling Problem of Evil (127-2 Sunday 5/1/1960)How many of us believe in evil? It is a good question to ask because there are many occasions wherein we will confront this type of testing, the testing of evil and if we just neglect it or ignore it we will be the more and the better prey to such a power. There are two kinds of Christians, one is that type who knows vaguely in the background of his mind that evil does exist, but he is doing his best not to be a part of it and so for him it has no direct bearing upon his thought or his life. The other Christian, and usually the metaphysical Christian does not believe in evil. He thinks that evil is an illusion and that there is nothing of this type of power. Always do we find that evil makes its prey of those who disregard it completely, particularly of those who do not believe in it at all. For that reason we should know something about this problem. Excerpts... |
Studies in Progress (1 of 4): Progress through Challenge (130-2 Sunday 6/5/1960)This first talk in a series on human progress begins by reminding us how important it is to live in the present. Don't count what you are going to be according to your futuristic hopes and dreams. Live in today. The present moment is the only moment in which you will ever live in any dimension and therefore, telescope all that you know in this moment at hand. She goes on to review humankind's progress from barbarians to the modern age with its emphasis on intellectualism and our individual part in humanity's goal of world unity and peace. Using Albert Schweitzer as an example, she says, 'you and I are expected to remember these two things every day, every moment: I need to achieve spiritual enlightenment and unfoldment through reverence, and at the same time give myself largely and willingly and joyously to others, while I help the world achieve more peace and more unity.' Excerpts... |
Studies in Progress (2 of 4): Progress through Faith (131-1 Sunday 6/12/1960)Faith is self-commitment which depends on God's sufficiency, not man's self-reliance. Lew Ayres, former actor, went on faith around the world filming world faiths. Examples of George Muller's work building an orphanage. Example of a progressive school in Pacific Palisades that teaches pre-school children and their parents to recognize that through spiritual faith their relationship can be more beautiful. Lessons Flower learned from her Korean-American children. The best gift parents can give their children is a background in which character can develop. We must practice faith in overcoming bad habits. Examples of tithing and success that followed. Excerpts... |
Studies in Progress (3 of 4): Progress through Grace (131-2 Sunday 6/19/1960)The Spirit of Grace, the fourth Aspect of God, is essential to humanity's progress. The Spirit of Grace does not work through nations, but through people and even animals. Divine Grace can overcome the limitation, the eccentricities, and the egotism in men's hearts to bring about the unification and the protection of this world. The work of this Spirit is needed now more than ever to assure the continuation of humanity on earth. Examples of how the Spirit of Grace works through others are given as follows: St. Benedict, founder of the Benedictine Monks; St. Paul, Bernardo Jines, founder of a school for homeless boys in Lima, Peru; a dog named Peril; a chef who was cured at Lourdes. The best channels of Grace practice self-sacrifice, self-surrender, self-giving and love in action. We can be instruments of Grace by praying for the world to be saved by Grace. Excerpts... |
Studies in Progress (4 of 4): Progress through Karma and Dharma (132-1 Sunday 6/26/1960)Flower explains the law of Karma and how it is applied in the continuity of life. She also explains the meaning of Dharma, 'the right selection of the best means for canceling out unpleasantness.' She gives examples of both karma and dharma at work in different person's lives. She also lists several well-known individuals who believe in reincarnation or the continuity of life. Excerpts... |
The Inner Side of Loneliness (134-2 Sunday 7/31/1960)Addressing those who suffer from loneliness, Flower makes a distinction between feeling lonely and of being alone or having time to one's self. One can be solitary without feeling lonely. In fact, some of the greatest mystics have been solitary figures in that at times they would withdraw into purposeful aloneness. And all of us need that kind of aloneness in order to be well, in order to be creative, and in order to formulate plans intelligently and such, but this repeated isolation and withdrawal from people is another matter, and its springs are within or rise out of negativity. Flower indicates that loneliness mainly grows out of an improper direction of our feelings and gives instruction on how to climb out of our feelings of loneliness. Above all, she stresses the importance of seeking a stronger relationship with God. Excerpts... |
Esoteric Aspects of Progress (140-2 Sunday 11/13/1960)Flower shares with us the importance of making spiritual progress in this lifetime. She says the worst thing we can do is become complacent about inner progress. She gives examples of various individuals, some who chose positively and some negatively, to pursue spiritual growth in their lives. Each of us has our own need to make progress, to gain consecutive day-by-day, hour-by-hour growth in that we must not fail. If the struggling is hard, peace will come. Peace as we realize that we are being lifted and we are being freed and we are gaining new insights and outlooks and freedoms. Excerpts... |
Thanksgiving and Gratitude (141-1 Sunday 11/20/1960)This Thanksgiving talk gets right to the point. We should be living in gratitude each day, from one moment to the next. Flower emphasizes that lack of gratitude brings severe karmic consequences. We need to not only remember to say 'thank you' from our hearts to those around us with every opportunity that arises, but we should remember to thank God daily for all of the blessings we tend to take for granted. Excerpts... |
The Conquest of Small Temptations (145-1 Sunday 1/29/1961)Temptation arises from the darkness. There is a side of life still unevolved, still primevally dark, and it is this side, which belongs to also the animalistic side of man, and has a linkage or correspondence with the carnal nature of every person, that it is forever endeavoring to pull man down, and resists all advances in consciousness, in behavior, in expression, all movements and endeavors that are upward lifting. This same type of darkness within us is that expression that makes us feel that things are a little bit too hard, that we have earned a rest, that we don't need to make sufficient effort. Excerpts... |
Relation between Evolution and Regeneration (154-2 Sunday 6/18/1961)Attaining spiritual realization is our supreme need and our highest gift if we can achieve it in this lifetime. Flower asks us to ponder where he or she can look for guidance in achieving this goal. She refers to the words in the Bible; various Christian religions, including Christian Science beliefs as well as Catholicism; and ultimately, urges us to seek higher knowledge that lifts us to a new level of spiritual exploration. One in which spiritual evolution will reveal the revelations of deeper teachings. She tells us that each of us can behold the gifts of divinity, if we are willing to make the journey. Excerpts... |
Drawing Closer to God Retreat (3 of 3) (158-1 Sunday 8/27/1961)Flower stresses our golden precepts: first; to realize Divinity or God; second, to realize God's Divine presence within us; third, to live attuned to our Lord's way; and fourth, to fulfill all the Christian rules. Explains need to overcome faintheartedness, halfheartedness, lack of commitment to Christ. We are living less than our Christianity unless we make eternity the background of our Christian worship. Emphasizes striving for continual overcoming. Gives examples of raising children in awareness of great Christian powers. Begins with dedication of carillon bells. Excerpts... |
There Must Be Victory over Evil (164-2 Sunday 11/12/1961)Flower talks about the evils of communism, and about challenges to Questhaven from a neighbor and the water district. We know that whenever we confront an individual or group, or in an ideology such as communism, what we must do. Evil cannot stand truth. Truth is its opponent. Truth is forever victorious. Excerpts... |
Thanksgiving Enriches the Grateful Heart (165-1 Sunday 11/19/1961)Thanksgiving is a season of preparation, it is a start of holy season. There should be a continual thanksgiving in our hearts always. Where there is gratitude, there is love, kindliness, thanksgiving, sincerity and the result is happiness. All virtues are like jewels. Recounts a story by Maurice Metterlink and a story of children taken to the inner worlds who return with gratitude for the ordinary in their lives. Story of Dr. Ray Charles Jarmon, a radio preacher in Los Angeles, who participated in medical studies of LSD. Discussion of his observations during those experiments. Whenever anyone is grateful, the most beautiful blue, almost purplish, rises out of his aura, that is crystal clear. There is also perfume. Angels would tell you that after the worship of God, gratitude is the most important aspect of character to develop. Excerpts... |
Christ's Life Drama and its Relationship to our Growth (167-1 Sunday 12/17/1961)Flower discusses the life of Jesus, who born on earth in order to lead us into those great archetypal developments for which we have been prepared. Shares insights from Carl Jung with discussion of archetypes. To Carl Jung, God was not knowable. He was experienced as a reality through the intuitional nature. They always changed names of disciples to something finer and better than their personality or historical names. Jesus came a Master, He left a Lord. The last of His Lordship degree was being able to come back after death to prove that there was another side to life. Excerpts... |
Experiences on the Human Path (169-1 Sunday 12/31/1961)Our purpose is our need for God Our life work is to know God better and more deeply and consistently every day. Tests recur to see whether we are strong enough to to press on, to have a greater load to carry as our privilege in Christ's great Cause Our speech has to be more differentiated, more full of discernment, more perceptive, more true to spirit. We've got to be true to spiritual reality all the way through. Taking care of people, even difficult ones, is not only an individual gift to them, but it is a giving to the great stream of humanity. God makes us channels of grace for many other individuals, and that the more we can serve as channels of grace, the more blessed we are, in the way God intended us to be. Excerpts... |
Teachableness: The Art of the Spirit (174-1 Sunday 2/4/1962)Learning depends upon teachableness. Flower stresses the importance of our being willing to change and grow by being teachable. Through several examples of individuals who significantly changed their outlook on life and their circumstances, by being open to trying a new approach, we are taught that we should change our approach as well. If we can raise our thoughts, then through holy enthusiasm, through teachableness, through creativeness, we will have a doubling and an expanded consequence of pleasure and of goodness in our own experiences, and for that we should be most grateful and we should be most eager to anticipate it, to welcome it, and to move towards it. Excerpts... |
The Heart's Symbolic Function (174-2 Sunday 2/11/1962)Flower states that by being more awakened to the superphysical aspects of the heart we may come into greater control of this wondrous center. Some individuals experience heart awakenings during their lifetime, and some are born with their heart centers already functioning. Describes the heart chakra from physical and superphysical standpoints, including the heart center on astral, mental and soul levels. Explains that it is important as we progress in our Christian experience that we love others as well as those souls in the inner kingdoms, and in doing so our hearts shall be lifted. As ones heart is lifted upward, the hearts spiritual counterparts on each level vibrate at higher and higher levels, creating greater color in every body, as well as size of heart center. Indicates that there are 714 references to the heart in the Bible, New and Old Testaments. Quotes several of these, and recommends anyone who experiences difficulty with their heart, to read and use them in their life. Excerpts... |
Winter's Value to the Soul (180-1 Sunday 3/25/1962)Flower discusses symbolic meanings of the seasons and expands upon winter's lessons, both from an outer and an inner standpoint. Mentions Gladys Taber and Thoreau as naturalists who loved and learned much from winter. Describes winter's testings and challenges physically, psychologically and spiritually; indicates how we are to react to these from a spiritual viewpoint. Excerpts... |
Adventures in Faith Class (15 of 20): The Esoteric Value of Creative Faith (186-2 Sunday 5/20/1962)Flower describes attributes and requirements of faith, giving specific insights as to how best to pray and envision for various needs. Discusses health, protection, and world conditions. Describes prayer archetypes, the Garden of Prayer, help being given by souls in the inner worlds in aiding prayer work. Concludes with audience questions and answers. Excerpts... |
How to Meet Tests (190-1 Sunday 6/10/1962)When going through trying times in our lives, Flower tells us that remembering God is our control center and is the most important thing we learn. Our tests are to prove to us whether or not we have been sufficiently, not only instructed, but grounded in what we have learned in our dedication of God. She gives specific examples of what we can do to help us through difficult times or testings in our lives, and to learn from these experiences. Excerpts... |
The Value of Creative Faith (204-1 Sunday 10/21/1962)This talk was given at a church in New York and is on the subject of faith. Flower says that we can never have enough faith and faith must be intensified at every degree of our unfoldment, and when it is then we can walk freely and knowingly and joyously with God. She further explores how we can deepen our faith through our daily living, prayer work, and relationships with others. She concludes the talk by reminding us that through faith we are not limited by our circumstances. Excerpts... |
Applying Universal Consciousness (211-1 Sunday 1/6/1963)We are forever at work on the permanent structure of our own divine unfoldment. Work is involved when we choose to move forward. Higher states of consciousness indwell us inherently. Our whole evolutionary period should move from personal consciousness to universal consciousness. Goodness is primary and superior to truth. Truth is secondary and full of methods and theories, goodness is wisdom attained. Examples of goodness such as the good Samaritan; a Welch minister who saved a lamb; and a Japanese farmer saving a village are given. Universal consciousness changes us in regard to our spiritual will. Will is superior to theories of truth. Excerpts... |
The Necessary Cultivation of Tranquility (224-2 Sunday 6/2/1963)An inspiring talk on striving for inner peace. At the kernel of every soul that lives in this dimension and in God's country is a center where God is, and all peace rests upon this center and man's abiding within it. To have peace we should really think of a sunburst as from within us, raying out its flashing points of light into our entire aura, and we should stand still in the mystery and the wonder of that flashing of the star of our God Self. And whenever we are inclined to be the most disturbed, we should stop and practice this attunement to the star of our inner being. Excerpts... |
Let Us Have a Rule for Our Lives (227-2 Sunday 7/21/1963)It has become very clear to us that each one who has achieved anything spiritually had a rule for his life. He may not always have shared it, but it was there, and it spoke through his discipline, through his consecration, through his great purposefulness. Until we have life rules, we are wasting and neglecting to a large extent our possibilities. Excerpts... |
The Magic of Giving Thanks (236-2 Sunday 11/24/1963)Discussion of the first Thanksgiving and how it came to be a legal holiday. Now people have many reasons for being thankful, but it should not take a certain day a year to remind them of their blessings. Gratitude has a healing quality. If we could see clairvoyantly we would notice that our thoughts changed from flat thought forms of a neutral or beige color, which is a nondescript form of thinking, to thinking in terms of beautiful rounded thought forms which suddenly burst their rounded form and became like flaming pyramids of orchid colors and these colorful forms would travel swiftly into the great light of God. Excerpts... |
Why We Are Here (237-2 Sunday 12/8/1963)Flower describes why we have an earthly existence and what our reason for being is. Simply put, we are here to recognize the Divine within each of us. She uses the analogy to our own human growth and evolvement of the lowly acorn and its unfoldment to becoming the mighty oak tree. She reminds us that our earthly home is only temporary and our true home is with God. This we should never forget. Excerpts... |
Psychic Conditions We Must Overcome (242-1 Sunday 2/16/1964)We possess seven senses, two of which are affiliated with the inner side of our beings. Inner unfoldment of higher traits was given to the disciples. Flower referenced the book Realms of the Living Dead. Augusta Curtis shared with Flower meeting with an aviator who just lost his life in battle. Flower discusses the unwise use of an ouija board.

Alchemy and Its Relationship to Man (244-2 Sunday 3/22/1964)There is a relationship between alchemy and Lent, because Lent refers to the Christing of the self. Symbology of salt, sulfur and mercury in relation to our growth. Excerpts... |
The Great Path and How We Are Related to It (245-2 Sunday 4/5/1964)Regarding the purpose of life, Flower tells us that man incarnates on earth in order to find God here. She then recounts various states and conditions of human evolution along the upward Path, including testings or minor initiations of the four elements. Discusses alchemical transformations of the spirit, then describes qualities of each of the major degrees of initiation. Concludes with audience questions and answers. Excerpts... |
In Another Person's Shoes (252-2 Sunday 6/28/1964)Through several examples, including personal ones, Flower shares with us that in order for us to have spiritual love for humanity and the creatures we must have compassion and empathy, and that we should always be helpful to right a wrong situation. Right needs defense no matter for who it is, and we should do what we can to safeguard right and bring justice into action, into activity once again. She goes on to say, that wherever we find sadness or something wrong, we are responsible because it was brought to our attention to do something to correct the situation. Excerpts... |
Having a Secret Formula for Life (256-2 Sunday 8/9/1964)Flower teaches that we need a formula for our lives, something to spur us on to higher levels of consciousness. She also speaks of making medallions showing in symbols of our formula or credo. She gives many examples of successful people who have had a code or credo for their lives giving them purpose to achieve. Excerpts... |
Importance of the Spiritual in Living Retreat Class (3 of 3): Spirituality in Modern Life (258-2 Sunday 8/16/1964) |
Thanksgiving as a Sacrament (265-1 Sunday 11/22/1964)Flower and another speaker alternate in listing all the things for which they and the congregation are grateful. Excerpts... |
The Esoteric Side of the Taking and Keeping of Promises (271-2 Sunday 2/7/1965)Flower first speaks about the importance of keeping one's word. She describes esoterically what occurs when we make a promise or pledge to ourselves, someone or something else. She tells us that those who are insincere have karmic consequences. Flower then shares spiritual impressions from different music numbers that a group of listeners responded to. Flower shares her own impressions along with those of the group. The talk concludes with a led meditation that pledges the participant to God. Excerpts... |
The Esoteric Side of Freeing Oneself from Creating New Karma (272-2 Sunday 2/21/1965)To be free of adverse karma we must work to overcome ourselves, desire to understand and grow from life's lessons and a desire to be part of the new. Flower described ways that we create new karma, rather than freeing it. Examples are given of ways to change negative habits into positive ones. Our present conditions are a result of our past actions. To end karma we must work out the old and not create it. Description of major and minor karma, and dharma. Cruelty to persons or animals brings disastrous circumstances. Spiritual healing and karma. New mental and astral bodies are created each lifetime. Excerpts... |
Eliminating Self-Centeredness (273-1 Sunday 2/28/1965)Flower explains the restricting growth self-centeredness causes us in our personal evolution. Anyone who is selfish is a child who has not grown up into spiritual maturity. Flower shares examples of individuals who exemplified love and unselfishness. Love only wants to raise, to lift, and to help, love is kind and just. Love is gratitude in expression. Love is of God, and being of God it will bless the receiver as well as the possessor of this wondrous current. Let us remember all the days of our lives that we are to love, not as our personality self wants to love, not even as our higher self desires to love, but as our Lord loves. Excerpts... |
The Thirty-Three Steps to Spiritual Maturity (274-2 Sunday 3/28/1965)Includes excellent guidelines for helping one formulate his or her life rules. Flower lists and describes each of the thirty-three steps toward spiritual maturity. The first twenty-eight are positive qualities to strive for, while the last five are negatives we need to let go of. These thirty-three steps will help us to grow, to unfold, and to become a living antennae. And when we do you may be sure that every cost we have paid all the way up to this moment have been worth the terrific expense for even a few moments of the blissful encounter of a great spiritual reality, a true break through into illumination. Excerpts... |
The Thirty-Three Steps to Spiritual Maturity (in LA) (280-2 Sunday 6/6/1965)Includes excellent guidelines for helping one formulate his or her life rules. Flower lists and describes each of the thirty-three steps toward spiritual maturity. The first twenty-eight are positive qualities to strive for, while the last five are negatives we need to let go of. These thirty-three steps will help us to grow, to unfold, and to become a living antennae. And when we do you may be sure that every cost we have paid all the way up to this moment have been worth the terrific expense for even a few moments of the blissful encounter of a great spiritual reality, a true break through into illumination. (Same talk as 274-2, but given in LA.) Excerpts... |
Dwell in Living Time (283-2 Sunday 7/11/1965)Living cannot be improved unless we give spiritual attention to time. When we do that, then we make no more mistakes in calculating time unwisely or in wasting it or in being heedless of its vast privilege. God's gift to us is eternal life and that eternal life should begin right now in living time because it is a foretaste of our own immortality. And it brings us in alignment with the inner worlds, which we should know even before we enter them. It gives us the consciousness that makes us worthy to go home to God when we are ready. Excerpts... |
In Everything Give Thanks (292-2 Sunday 11/21/1965)If we are grateful, we open spiritually. We are much more sensitive and responsive or receptive to the great glories that pour forth esoterically through the Christmas season. Thanksgiving is a period in which we recapitulate, reappraise and reexpress the many things for which we are grateful. It cleanses the feelings and makes them pure and God-aligned, and brings us into condition for enlightenment. Since our nation is the cradle of the new race, America is an archetype in its highest aspirations of those qualities which we all bless. On Thanksgiving day, we repeat the summarizing of that which our soul knows to have been good for us. The more we are grateful for shelter, for the joy of our loved family, for beauty, the more we appreciate those things, without being unduly attached to them, the more we will attract still more abundantly and ever better quality will come to us. Excerpts... |
Man's Purpose in Life (301-1 Sunday 3/13/1966)This talk is very specific in what our purpose in life is–to be more God conscious, more God aware. Flower gives examples of how we can live our lives more purposely. She also explains the difference between a spiritual purpose and a personal mission, since people often confuse the two. She shares her personal as well as others' experiences that illustrate living life with spiritual purpose, and presents that purpose in nine parts. Excerpts... |
Now Is the Time (309-2 Sunday 7/17/1966)Reverend Newhouse explains vertical versus passing time and the rewards of using vertical time throughout our daily lives. Reverend Newhouse persuades us that now is the time to practice vertical time and be attuned to God. Excerpts... |
Thanksgiving's Transforming Power (318-1 Sunday 11/20/1966)Thanksgiving opens the gates to the holy season of Christmas. Gratitude is the quality which reveals the beginning of greatness. In the inner planes, those who are perfected watch for these qualifications. First, gratitude, second, humility, and third, love. Keeping a gratitude journal helps us become more appreciative. Self-centeredness is an enemy of gratitude and greatness. Thanksgiving is transforming because it keeps us in the attitude of touching that which is holy and being immersed in it and blessed by it. Excerpts... |
To Be a Good Disciple (321-2 Sunday 1/15/1967)Flower explains why each individual should be striving for self-mastery by becoming a good disciple of the Lord Christ. She outlines the qualifications needed to achieve this and follows up with several individual examples of those who are true disciples and overcame their personality selves. Strive to become disciples. You will find the real disciples, always the hard-working ones in any work or cause. Strive yourselves to be that kind of disciple, and when you are all the truths that you need to know will come to you easily and with greater inspiration and from higher resources than ever in your wildest hopes you thought might happen to you. Excerpts... |
The Dweller on the Threshold (324-1 Sunday 2/19/1967)Reverend Newhouse explains the dweller's identity, how it subverts our best intentions and how we should go about rising above it on our path to God. She reminds us that the sufferings of the now are not to be compared with the glory which is to be revealed to us. Say that to yourself when you are tried by your own tendency to be fearful, or jealous, or suspicious, or worrisome. Excerpts... |
The Glorious Necessity of Balance (329-2 Sunday 5/21/1967)In this insightful talk, we are given ideals to strive toward that will help us achieve balance in our lives. This is not only important for our physical existence here on earth, but as Flower explains, 'The great Masters, those who are perfected men and women, will accept no pupil who is not balanced, and this is because an individual who is balanced has control on every level in which he is interested. For that reason, then, we need interest and achievement on every level of our seven-fold nature, so that we may be able to be at peace and at home on the different planes of consciousness as we precipitate in this wonderful mystery of balance.' Excerpts... |
Gratitude A Quality of Spiritual Maturity (342-2 Sunday 11/19/1967)Before we celebrate the initiation of rebirth and regeneration or our Lord's holy birth in us, we know the cleansing and the benediction of gratitude. Our Lord always prefaced his requests by giving thanks before he spoke for the good that he sought. Give thanks before something happens to you, and live in the expectancy and the wonder of that for which you ask and that very likely which you need. Prayers would not have any importance, any power in them, unless they have been prefaced by this feeling of gratefulness. Giving thanks is an absolute spiritual necessity for us. The constant rhythm of gratitude causes the circulation of the powers of the Soul and the Adonai to seep into and penetrate our personality selves. Excerpts... |
The Scalpel of Decision (344-1 Sunday 11/26/1967)We are continually faced with new decisions and our Higher Selves urge us to go into new areas of consciousness and live more highly. The practice of humility and self-surrender help us achieve higher consciousness. Flower explains nether, primal and summa states of consciousness. Excerpts... |
Values to Be Derived from Power Tides and Cycles (350-2 Sunday 2/4/1968)Explains God's cycles of occurrence, regularity, and alternation, according to the Law of periodicity. Outlines the cycles in a day, the 52-day cycles of the year, and the seven-year cycle, . Emphasizes the best use of these cycles and tides, during the hours of our days and days of our lifetime. Excerpts... |
Mankind's Great Goal (357-2 Sunday 3/31/1968)Flower reveals that the goal of mankind is to know the source of his origin through illumination. She describes in great detail the five life waves of humanity on this earth, which began several millions of years ago, much longer than science has claimed. We are currently in the fifth wave, which alone began about 18 million years ago. She explains how each wave has advanced to the next and that through it all we have but one purpose, and that is to be reconnected to God in full consciousness through illumination. Excerpts... |
The Quality of Mercy and How to Apply It (367-1 Sunday 7/21/1968)At least ninety percent of all that blesses us is from the Spirit of Grace. A small percentage comes from what we have earned. Spirit of Grace is a great reservoir of Divine stored energy that is wholly related to and dedicated to Divine mercy and the dispensing of grace throughout the cosmos; under the dispensation of and guidance of a woman Lord called a Regina. God's givingness flows to us from the source of grace, more than from any other source. Spirit of Grace alone will give without demanding any cost whatsoever. Must not ask for grace for ourselves; only for others. We need to be channels of grace, toward ourselves and to others; younger souls who need someone to help. Small things as important as big things. Flower shares how important it is to love and care for animals. Excerpts... |
The Prime Importance of Humility (374-2 Sunday 11/10/1968)We've only one thing to be and that is humble, because we are unfinished. Flower reminds us that we humans are a work in progress, and even in our accomplishments we cannot take credit for it is only because the Divine God Indwelling that we make any progress at all. Flower shares many examples and persons exemplifying humility in the first half of this talk. The second half is given by Dr. Stephen Isaac, who shares the psychological understanding and impact of this great quality. Excerpts... |
The Glory of Harvest (375-2 Sunday 11/24/1968)The best of the year is saved for the last. We are cleansed through gratitude. Gratitude is one of the chief characteristics and requirements of illumination. The other two are love and humility. A man of faith is grateful and that is why he attracts grace to himself. It is because faith which is the blending of many other qualities, puts him into attunement and realization, enables an individual to be open and receptive and teachable, and joyous. We should give thanks for our testings. Begin and end the day with a prayer of thanksgiving. Gratitude is the memory of the heart. Excerpts... |
The Three Paths to Union with God (379-2 Sunday 1/19/1969)Three different ways to God are examined. Reverend Newhouse explains the drawbacks and strengths of each of these paths: the path of service; the path of the intellect; and the path of devotion or love. Each of us belongs to one of these ways quite naturally. However as we advance we begin to take on the white light of truth so that the qualities of the other ways, even those that are outside of the three we mentioned, and we become a composite of all those ways of development by which men are led to Divine union. Excerpts... |
Love is Christ's Pathway (514-1 Sunday 9/17/1972)Love that will sustain and see us through every testing is spiritual love. Example of couple with marital problems; advised that they once had love; now they could come to love again. Several years later, they had achieved spiritual love. Need to realize that in marriage is our opportunity, beginning with the governing of our relationships nearest at hand, and blessing them with the might of spiritual love. There is where we find our own transformations. Love for children and animals as well. Gives examples of her children, raccoons in mountains, and family dogs. Love, true love, never faileth. It does not fail one's marriage partner, one's child, one's friend, or anyone. Excerpts... |
We Can Be Transformed (550-2 Sunday 3/3/1974)Lent ushers us into a new grade and is the season of Soul examination. Reference to Lot's wife turning into a pillar of salt because she looked back. Flower tells of her former heart condition and how she transcended it. Overcoming traits like selfishness require us to die to them; just praying isn't enough. Flower describes the experiences of Starr Daily and others that transformed their lives. Speaks of Phillips Brooks. Excerpts... |
The Meaning of Open-Key Periods (561-2 Sunday 8/11/1974)This talk describes the purpose of open-key periods in our lives. These periods are times in our life when we seem to have little purpose or direction, where no one else is guiding or directing us and we have only our inner selves to turn to. Flower gives specific examples of what can happen during these times and what we can do to get through them successfully. Excerpts... |
Simplicity: The Goal of Wisdom (700-1 Sunday 1/13/1980)Flower indicates the keynote for 1980 is simplicity. We need to face simplicity, learn to be disciplined by it and be prepared for these changes that will be required. Simplicity requires adaptability and discipline. Excerpts... |
Holy Expectancy: Living the Life (752a1 Wednesday 1/13/1982)Flower discusses importance of living the life. The three aspects of Christ's teachings to practice are gathering of spiritual knowledge, improvement of our devotions, and living the life. Flower explains how knowledge becomes wisdom; her use of a journal and scrapbook. Discusses ways to improve our devotion; importance of balancing both hemispheres of the brain. This Wednesday night talk is followed by questions and answers. Flower describes the difference between psychology, metaphysics, esoteric and mystical Christianity. Excerpts... |
Be Alive All Your Life (766-1 Sunday 7/25/1982)Reverend Newhouse describes how to live a spiritual, purposeful life. She gives examples of people with difficulties and how they over came them. It takes depth to know that we are linked to a Divine Purpose. And that purpose is to function in us as living time and we are to be alive in it and not passive while we are here. We are to accomplish, we are to unfold, and develop the Divine inherent potentials which we possess. Excerpts... |
Meet Problems Wisely with Faith (785-2 Sunday 5/1/1983)This talk reminds us how we must continually work on our faith, so that it can always be attuned to God and His will for us. When we face a problem we don't know what God's wish for us is. His wish might be entirely different to our own. Flower gives several examples of faith resulting in wondrous outcomes for individuals, using quite a few from the writings of Emily Gardner Neal, a former newspaper reporter, who went into churches to work with miraculous healings. Flower reminds us, that if you don't like your life exactly as it is, you can have it improved. All you need do is to be in contact with God to trust Him to teach you how to be the receiver of the good for which you ask. Excerpts... |
The Adventure of Truth (925-2 Sunday 9/11/1988)This talk encourages us to live our lives always centered in truth and striving to better ourselves. Flower encourages us not to be satisfied with one level of truth at any time in our life. Keep on moving upward. She gives examples of ways in which we can apply ourselves in our daily lives, in relationships, in our chores, with our pets, and out in nature. Excerpts... |

Christward Principles
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 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.
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.
Reincarnation is the realization that life is a school, striving to awaken and quicken the Divinity within us, striving to bring man from primitive stages of unfoldment to that of greater and more glorious awareness.
