He said, "Where I am, there ye may be also," meaning that we may attain the same state of consciousness.

Greeting

T were late in the month to wish our readers a Happy New Year. Then, too, the mere wishing would hardly fill the measure of our greetings to you. We would rather know for you:

Happy are ye, not because of new years, but rather because eternities of newness await you.

Because there is nothing that is, or was, or evermore shall be that is denied you.

Because the portals of All-Possibilty await your knock.

Because the love that never faileth wooes you, and the Life without beginning of days or ends of years lives in your veins.

Because the Wisdom that builded the Universe and the Substance out of which worlds are made respond to your lightest word.

Because you are not John Smith or Mary Jones, as the years represent you, but you are sons and daughters of the Most High, and as such we welcome you to this realm of consciousness where "time shall be no more," and the tabernacle of God is with man.
