The Adonai and Spirit of God Indwelling (Summer Pilgrimage Retreat 3 of 3) (005-2 Sunday 6/27/1954)From here on we want to learn all that we can about the Holy triad because healing will flow from the awareness of the divine powers that are resident within. Discusses esoteric teachings regarding our seven-fold bodies and the hierarchy of God's inner kingdoms. Excerpts... |
The Heart of Christmas (036-1 Sunday 12/25/1955)The more we worship Christ, the more He dominates the center of our consciousness, because we choose to be Christ-led, Christ-centered. The gift we give Him each year is our self; deepened, widened, opened more receptively, made more sympathetic, made more appreciative to His vast and eternal ministry. Excerpts... |
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... |
Studies in Greatness (1 of 3) (129-1 Sunday 5/15/1960)Flower describes the high moral character that signifies greatness and steps needed to achieve self-mastery. She speaks of self-surrender, spiritualizing of the will and the mountain of one's overcoming in order to be a more open channel for God to use and influence. She explores the lives and testings of some of the individuals who achieved greatness including St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Francis of Assisi, Blaise Pascal and Pearl Buck. Excerpts... |
Studies in Greatness (2 of 3) (129-2 Sunday 5/22/1960)Speaking of true greatness as 'moral greatness' which rises out of self-conquest, Flower laments the moral 'littleness' of Goethe and Rousseau and praises the spiritual greatness of Emanuel Swedenborg and William James. She describes the life of Swedenborg, a genuine fifth ray seer, not a mystic, detailing his evolving clairvoyance and exclusive devotion to spiritual studies in later life. She talks of one of Swedenborg's champions, William James, a thinker and philosopher who put intuition above reason and Spirit beyond intuition, as being on his way to becoming a seer of the type of Swedenborg. Excerpts... |
Studies in Greatness (3 of 3) (130-1 Sunday 5/29/1960)In this third talk on 'greatness', Flower explains that before our evolution is finished, each of us must attain the spiritualizing of the will and self-surrender that characterizes true greatness. This talk focuses on the illumined Initiate of Light Emanual Swedenborg, his growing clairvoyance, his ability to tune into the inner worlds with full waking consciousness, his description of three main groupings in the inner world and his willingness to reveal to mankind the inner experience to which we will all graduate. 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... |
Occult Factors at Work in Prayer (138-2 Sunday 10/16/1960)Flower focuses on the two main reasons we pray–our need for God and our adoration for God. Flower explains why and how we should improve our prayer work. She describes what happens esoterically when prayers are said and how the Hierarchy aids our prayers. There are different types of prayers–prayers for healing, for upliftment, for attunement. They are too numerous to count. She uses Bible verses to support the importance of prayer and gives personal accounts of how prayers are answered. Excerpts... |
Benefits from the Life of Saint Patrick (218-1 Sunday 3/17/1963)Flower brings to light the way the Hierarchy chooses its ambassadors to man on earth, choosing some because of their gifts and others through channeling. St. Patrick, who was kidnapped and brought to Ireland as a young man, was probably chosen because that area of the world needed Christianizing. He established three hundred and sixty churches. Alfred the Great in the ninth century was likely chosen for the purpose of unifying England which he did so well that many other kings turned their reigns over to him. Louis the Ninth demonstrated that a monarch could live purely and consecratedly. He participated in the Crusades and became known as the 'Mediator of Europe' giving advice that was always just. 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... |
Power Transformers (290-2 Sunday 10/10/1965)Biographical information on various remarkable people. Thomas Paine, a 4th degree initiate, much maligned genius with many talents and interests who greatly helped American revolution. Thomas Jefferson was remarkable, close to mastership, with many varied talents and author of much of the Declaration of Independence. Henry Ford was another transformer, in a practical sense. Gives examples of ordinary people as power transformers. The essence of Christianity itself is to see where we may serve, to see how Christ can use us to lighten the load of someone else. Excerpts... |
The Masters of Wisdom and Their Work (316-1 Sunday 10/23/1966)This talk by Flower A. Newhouse offers descriptions, functions and responsibilities of Masters and Lords. She even touches on our future evolution toward Logoshood. This is an intimate talk where Flower shares personally how she receives guidance from the Great Ones as well as the Lord Christ's appearance to her in the mountains. Excerpts... |
The One God and the Meanings of the Other Gods (352-2 Sunday 2/18/1968)Gods of ancient times are actually higher beings. There is one Supreme God, but there are other great intelligences to whom early men gave the term God. They are used by the One Great God to carry out His purposes. Early man realized that there was a Hierarchy of just souls made pure in God and that there were many branches to this stream of life force that sustained creation. There are great evolved beings who are above the rulers of the ocean, the rulers of the air and fire and water. These are the tremendous Tija. The early Grecian, Romans, Babylonians, and Persians and all of the people of those earlier times were really speaking of true intelligences. 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. There are major festivals in which Masters, Lords and Logi meet to celebrate and to hold a baptism for this solar system that we can scarcely comprehend. In year 2000 will be a tremendous gathering of the Great Ones who inaugurate new seed ideas to feed the Aquarian age. Includes descriptions of, creativity of, and friendships between masters and the requirements if we would learn first-hand from masters. Excerpts... |

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.
The life and writings of Flower A. Newhouse are those of a Christian mystic, and her insights into the inner realms of life provide us with a path to wholeness that she called "Living the Life." These teachings are not doctrine, but a practical guide to the direct, immediate experience of God. Flower's mission was also to reawaken humanity to the reality of angels, a work she began with her first book in 1937, and added to in many published writings and in recorded lectures.
