Withhold not, then, this Thanksgiving season. Withhold not, from thy mighty heart flame, from thy mighty I AM Presence, all that is due in God’s name. For the act of tithing does give you the tie to the mighty God Presence. When one-tenth of thy substance is consecrated to the fulfillment of God’s kingdom upon earth, you yourself are a part of that kingdom. And the balance of gold, ten percent of your lifestream, is held in that balance of the entire universal City Foursquare.
And so, the ancient ritual of giving unto God one-tenth of thy portion is simply giving unto him one-tenth of thy being, and that being placed in his hands gives you the added momentum of precipitating greater and greater substance. And so some among you have observed the great rewards you have received, in the past, in tithing.
Remember that the laws were given by Moses for the fulfilling of the divine covenant. The covenant is the promise, the contract between the Father and the son, in which the Father says, “I will give thee all that I have if thou, in return, will give unto me a portion of thyself and thy consecrated will to the fulfilling of my plan.”
God always keeps his part of the contract, beloved ones. But mankind do bargain for more than they are entitled to, and thereby they lose all. For they seek not first the kingdom of God that is within in order to obtain all these things.1 But they seek first the things, and thereby they do not gain the things or the kingdom.
It is so easy, precious ones, to rise in the stature of an ascended being, to walk the earth as an ascended one yet unascended. If only you will give up your fears—fears of lack, fears concerning security—and place your hand in the hand of Almighty God.
Some of you have considered the life of one who has called herself the Peace Pilgrim.2 She stands today as a living example of how the Father feeds and clothes those who place their life in his hands and go forward to do his bidding. However small, however lowly or great, the man upon earth who places his hand in the hand of God, he is never wanting.
You cannot want, because God has promised unto you the fullness of his presence. Place your hand in his, then. Give unto God and you will find that your cup runneth over, as David of old said, “My cup runneth over.”3 For the shepherd kings have known throughout their stay upon this earth that to be a king and a priest unto God is to acknowledge him in all thy ways. Acknowledge him in all thy ways and he shall protect thy path.
It is so simple, precious ones, that mankind would tend to think my dissertation this day on supply as somewhat childish. But did not Jesus say, “Except ye become as a little child, ye cannot enter the kingdom”?4
All of the involved economics, the money systems of the world, where have they led mankind but to the brink of self-destruction. The toppling towers of the financial world are as the beasts of Babylon. They sow confusion, they reap the whirlwind. And they take from mankind not only their physical supply but their spiritual well-being, their moral understanding, their memory of Divine Selfhood.
For where have the moral codes gone this day? They have flown out the window, just as the mighty nutriments of nature placed in the substance of the earth have been taken from mankind through the processing of food.
Supply, precious ones, comes to mankind on all levels. The essence of white fire and the sacred fire is needed by each lifestream in all of his lower bodies, not just physically. The mental body requires the nourishment of the green ray of truth. The etheric body requires the nourishment of truth to correct the records of wrong sowings. The emotions need the quieting effect of God’s truth. And the physical body must be saturated, too, by that golden pink glow-ray, the flame of resurrection and the sevenfold radiance of the mighty power of creation.
The Gods of supply, the seven mighty Elohim (the builders of form) do nourish mankind’s physical forms and their lower vehicles each day. You may call to them, then, to assist you in this process, and you may also call to the mighty Cosmic Christ for the balancing of the threefold flame. For by the imbalance retained within you, the flow of supply is also distorted within the four lower vehicles.
There would be no need for so-called elixirs composed in the human laboratories of life for the preventing of old age if mankind would only learn the key—the key that unlocks the doors of heaven, that realigns the four vehicles, so that as a mighty sieve, a mighty conveyor of life, the flow, the mighty flow of being, can descend, then, and illumine each room of thy temple, each room of that mighty mansion which you are, with the effulgence of light, which is your source of life and being.
Because supply is so needed in the physical level, it requires decrees from the physical level, beloved ones. The imminence of the golden age side by side with the imminence of planetary destruction means that you must, in this hour, make calls for the expansion by the white-fire core, the expansion by the golden flame and by the green flame of precipitation—into the hands and minds and beings of these messengers of light and of this activity—of all that is required for the fulfillment of the divine plan.
It is up to you, beloved ones, and it is up to mankind to say this hour what their will is concerning the fate of the planet. It is in your hands, precious ones. By your determinations, by your deliberations, by your decrees and by your acts, so will the Lords of Karma know what the fate of the earth shall be.
You look up to heaven for the signs of the times. But I say to you, to know the coming of the time and the hour of the Son of man, God also looks to the earth. God looks below and says, “What is the creation doing? The handiwork which I have made, how is it outpicturing the divine image?” And so heaven waits.
But the hour is coming, the midnight hour, when the lamps will be tested and the Lords, the Lords of the Flame, will walk the streets of the earth in search of the honest heart. They will look as of old, as they looked in the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, for ten good and righteous men.5
The Lords will descend at that hour of midnight and they will look to see who is keeping the watch, the watch upon the wall of life. And they will ask, “Watchman, what of the night?”6 And they will wait for the answer, “All is well.” And when that is forthcoming in truth, in purity and in victory from the heart of the earth, you will see such sweeping changes upon this earth as to defy the imagination.
For the golden age will truly come forth and manifest in the physical octaves, even as you are surprised to see the fashions change and the times move forward. You do not know how, in the twinkling of an eye, God himself can stand forth upon the face of the earth and change men’s consciousness because some have stood to guard the way of the Tree of Life and have kept the light and fire burning within the heart.
O Cyclopea, All-Seeing Eye of creation, reveal the divine vision to these children of my heart! Show them this day the vision of the Holy City and what can happen when they pray. Inspire them, O Mighty Cyclopea, on behalf of our Father. Together with the healing angels of Raphael’s band, descend, we pray, with thy healing ray this day.
For I, Fortuna, Goddess of Supply, have lifted up my heart unto the very throne of thrones. And I have knelt this day, on behalf of the mankind of earth, to invoke the chlorophyll green for the purification by the power of truth—the sword of truth that cleaves asunder and sets apart right from wrong in the hearts of men. I have petitioned the Almighty and I stand with the Lords of white fire for the bestowal of every divine grace and opportunity unto this race of men, that they might fulfill their plan.
Reach up, O precious ones! Stand to receive the holy gifts which the Father proffers unto you this day. [Audience stands.] For this is the day of Christmas for you—the day when the Christ comes, the day when the Christ is reborn within you. And you can receive every gift which he brings for the coming of the Son of God upon earth. Clothed with riches and honor means to everyone so dedicated a greater outpouring of light than they have ever known.
I, Fortuna, salute you in the name of cosmic abundance. And by the power of purity of vision of the mighty Virgin Holy One, I say, all things can and shall be thine in the name of the Holy Spirit, who pervades and permeates the entire cosmos with the breath of life.

2. Peace Pilgrim, Mildred Lisette Norman Ryder (1908-1981), walked for more than 28 years, covering over 25,000 miles, spreading the message of peace. She crossed the United States seven times and also went to nearby countries. Traveling penniless, with only a few necessities in her pockets, she walked until given shelter and fasted until given food, and both were almost always provided.
