HEAVENLY SPRINGTIME

A symbol signifying the Individuality rising joyously from the causal body to progress on the celestial journey to heights of glory inconceivable The Ego has in this case passed through the present cycle and attained Liberation and Union on the higher mental plane for from that point is the true beginning of the Real Life

O Heavenly Springtime I have come into Thee I have eaten my sacramental cakes I have power over the sacrificial portions of my beasts and birds the feathered fowl of the light are given unto me for I have followed the Gods when the Divine forms come Book of the Dead Ch CX trans M W Blackden

The Divine Life is entered into and the growth of the true Self is now apprehended and perceived to be the supreme fact of universal life The food of the Gods has been eaten in the attainment of the Ideals in Wisdom and Love and so spiritual power is acquired which renders sacrifice asceticism self denial or any form of self abnegation or irksomeness not only unnecessary but impossible The aspirations which formerly led to these necessary but contractive limitations now yield their fruit for the rising Self within has fulfilled his ideals and been true to them

It seems to me that the very essence of the life eternal consists in the fact that it involves perfect self expression without the sense of lack hindrance or defeat The life eternal the life that God lives and is is the life in which fullness of power fullness of joy and fullness of self knowledge preclude any possibility of subjection to the limitations which in this world are the cause of our trouble and compel us to choose between one form of gratification and another We want not to have to think about giving up this and resisting that we want to be able to live as the trees and birds live fulfilling our appointed tasks with perfect ease and harmony and without the danger of going wrong anywhere Now that I say is the life eternal the goal of all our strivings the life that in Christ we shall come to share with God And you can see for yourselves at once that it must be a life in which considerations of right and wrong no longer hold good they are gone transcended swallowed up in the joy of being and doing exactly what we want and God wants without the intrusion of any discordant factor R J Campbell Serm The Non moral Aspects of Religion
