Spiritual Uplifting

Decoding the Lost Science of Prayer and Prophecy - Seventeen hundred years ago, key elements of our ancient heritage were lost, relegated to the esoteric traditions of mystery schools and sacred orders.

These rules are written for all disciples: Attend you to them. Before the eyes can see, they must be incapable of tears. Before the ear can hear, it must have lost its sensitiveness.

What's more, regarding His controlling influence, "and We are (involved in and) fully aware of (all aspects of) Our creation."
