Recorded Lectures by Flower A. Newhouse

The Courts of the Faithful (098-2 Sunday 11/9/1958)

Most important trait for those who love God is the quality of faithfulness to God. Mystics have to explain things in such a way that the heart understands. They have robust righteousness, indomitable integrity, unflinching, uncompromising in what they consider to be right. They demonstrate self-commitment of utter humility. Mystics are full of the romance of beauty. Extensive info on Evelyn Underhill and William James. Excerpts...

Characteristics of Initiates (106-1 Sunday 2/1/1959)

Flower discusses many of the spiritual giants who have been among us. We can best understand these souls if we realize that they too have been human, but have evolved slowly and purposefully and meaningly into the hierarchal places to which they were appointed by the Divine decider of all things. Qualities required of initiates include simplicity, self-surrender, humility, reverence, courage, generosity, lifting. Initiates avoid excess, maintain balance, avoid spiritual absorption and selfishness. Enlightened ones come in with fresh interpretation of Truth. True initiates have no egotism, no superiority to force on others, but does hold true to what he knows, and will defend that, even against death. Excerpts...

The Path of the Masters (116-1 Sunday 8/23/1959)

Discusses the existence and the service of the great hierarchy of perfected beings. You need not have direct contact with them to become aware of them. You need only to be sensitively alert and receptive, and desirous of knowing truth. Masters can reveal to us what we are in the process of becoming. These great souls have all the virtues of character raised to its highest strength. They have a strength of being and of self-command that is excelled by no one of a lesser degree. Many persons believe in spiritual truths and realities, but they stand at the fringes because they don't want to surrender the ego of selfish freedom. Someday all of us will reach the utter sincerity, that complete self-giving, that strength of trustworthiness, that will enable us to be a receiver of instruction. When a master comes to the degree of masterhood, he has outgrown earth. Excerpts...

The Reality of the Christ (121-1 Sunday 12/13/1959)

Emmanuel means God with us and it refers to the spiritual title given to this soul who also bore the name of Jesus when he became spiritually of age and took upon Himself the mantle of the Christ. We should call Him by the spiritual title. Our Lord was human, but He more quickly had the power of excellence, that supreme ability to surrender himself, and to give himself to that which is higher than anyone else that has evolved through the earth. There are many perfected souls; that option is open to all, and all are evolving toward it. Before the Lord Emmanuel, the Lord Maitreya was the Christ of our planet. Our Lord is the supreme officiant of humanity. Reading of Flower's favorite excerpts from the Gospel According to Thomas. Past lives of Jesus as Joshua, David, and Ikhnaton. Jesus as Lord and Master. Excerpts...

Realizing the Importance of Masters (137-1 Sunday 9/18/1960)

There are many levels of intelligence and spiritual unfoldment represented amongst humanity and all its peoples. There have been souls who have risen from the earth's training, who have reached the first flowering, the great budding of wholeness as it pertains to this dimension. They are the perfected sons and daughters of life. We know that Osiris, Ikhnaton, and our Lord Christ, the Buddha, Lao Tzu. Confucius, Pythagoras, Quetzcoatl and many others have achieved a masterhood of intelligence, of character, of spiritual development, of mastery over their physical vehicles. When you see a Holy One, you will never be content until you yourself are complete. Excerpts...

The Communion of the Holy Assembly (155-1 Sunday 6/25/1961)

The Reverend Flower Newhouse speaks of the more advanced orders of life which serve God and are yearning to be contacted by us and of our need to stretch our souls toward them to climb in consciousness. Explaining that Christianity has borrowed traditions from the older Jewish faith including from the esoteric portion of the Kabbalah called the Zohar, she discusses the advanced orders of Angels, Adepts, Masters and the Ancient of Days and Silent Watcher which are equivalent to the Logi. Excerpts...

The Staff of the Illumined (221-2 Sunday 4/21/1963)

Perfected souls came with powerful inspiration. Their words have been recorded down to our present day. They have a message for us which shall outlast this planet's lifetime. When we consider what a soul undergoes in the journey of evolution through this human way, we know that the human career begins at the stage of individualization. There is a long vast journey of growth and unfoldment, and then at last the first degree of initiation, or rebirth, is achieved. When this stage comes, man becomes a part of a larger order. He becomes a member of the Great White Brotherhood, and he serves no longer his own unfoldment, but the development of the world. Then there is a later stage, of the fifth initiation, when the human evolution ceases, and the superhuman evolution begins. Excerpts...

God Within and God Unfolded (234-1 Sunday 10/20/1963)

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...

Hail to Those Who have Achieved Mastership (397-1 Sunday 8/3/1969)

Masters choose one of these areas of service: to help humanity; to become divine couriers between earth and the Solar Logos and help prepare other planets for life in future; or enter into Nirvana for total contemplation, meditation and prayer.
