Canons 41-60

John's Revelations

​​​​​The Way of Joy - The Enlightenment

Canon 41.  God's Warmth

One appearance of God is that of a warm and supportive essence.  

It is difficult to adequately emphasize the awakening and warmth that attach themselves to the vision - radiating in varied gold and silver rays.  God fits well in the action as the source of caring and joy in interaction with humanity.

Canon 42.  The Human Soul

​

The human soul is in the center-most part of the universe and is unique to mankind.  This glorious humanity, created by God shortly after the creation itself, serves as a mirror for the very essence of God.

Canon 43.  The Great Split

In the fullness of time a split occurred caused by a negative element inherent in the nature of mankind.

Canon 44.  Restoration into the Wholeness of God

It is time, in the fullness of time, amidst the confusion and destruction, to restore mankind to the full embrace of God, the Highest Power.

Canon 45.  Action

The return to the original relation between God and man is imperative and now.  Too much damage has been eroded into the fabric of existence.

Canon 46.  What to do

As humankind is a microcosm of the total universe's macrocosm, we turn to ourselves and the program put forward in this text.  We turn to the stages of restoration for ourselves and the existence of mankind.  We take our place once again as children of God.

Canon 47.  The Sheer Delight in God

If we could reach to the center of goodness, beauty, and joy, we would reach the sheer delight in God.

Canon 48.  Merit of Organized Religion

The merit of organized religion is seen in the extent each can bring one into contact with God.

Canon 49.  Magnificence of Earth

Considering the vastness of the universe it would seem unlikely that earth is significant.  To the great contrary, it is the center - God's fulfillment of His dearest wish.  It is the model for the Universe.

Canon 50.  Manifestation of God

To the extent that there is manifestation there is manifestation of God.  God is present in all beings - human, animal, plant life, and mineral.  There is no limit.  Yet God is as close to us as our very breathing.

Canon 51.  Enlightenment, Man and God

Everything we do must bring us closer to God.  When we are filled with merit we are at the threshold of enlightenment.

Canon 52.  The Joy of Right Action

The sheer joy of right action is sufficient in itself.

Canon 53.  Planet Earth as Habitat

For the sake of the humans the care of the planet earth must be diligently and carefully maintained.

Canon 54.  Divine Intent

Throughout the path of our creation we have been provided masters, divine guides, to lead us into the way of the Highest Power.  We have in part fallen from their example and teachings.  Now is the time to gather their way, unite our way and add the divine grace and intimacy that will mantle us to the origin of our beings - the joining of our human souls in completeness with God as was the divine intent from the beginning of beginnings.

Canon 55.  Earth and God

When earth and God meet and join they bring about the wonder of wonder.  They bring about the Universe as it is meant to be.  Nothing can stop the miracle.

Canon 56.  The Peace of God

The peace of God is the inheritance of humanity and the pattern for the Universe.  It is intimate and unlimited.

Canon 57.  Live in the Present

All action and thought must be centered upon the present moment so that the past and future do not distract from the vital present.  To live in the present is a great gift to and from the Supreme Being.

Canon 58.  Example for the Universe

The peace and flow of the earth as promoted by humanity serves as the example for the Universe.  The Universe in turn brings peace to the soul.

Canon 59.  Peace of Self

The wholeness of peace in the self blends the same throughout the Universe.

Canon 60.  Physical and Spiritual

All of the physical contains elements of the Universe.  Among all parts harmony and lightness are particularly important.
