They are those whose natural thinking and conception of life are higher and beyond the average.

- [Tree of Life – Level 2, Lesson 1: Symbolism 5](https://holyorderofmans.org/tree-of-life-fire-level-2/tree-of-life-level-2-lesson-1-symbolism-5/) - The break-through of consciousness for people was the fire.

- [Tree of Life – Level 2, Lesson 1: Symbolism 3](https://holyorderofmans.org/tree-of-life-fire-level-2/tree-of-life-level-2-lesson-1-symbolism-3/) - We have been able (through our past lessons in symbolism) to see and know that all things which manifest have two principles, or two different polarities. Like the poles of a magnet, there is a positive and a negative pole. In form, we see this literally.
- [Tree of Life – Level 2, Lesson 1: Symbolism 2](https://holyorderofmans.org/tree-of-life-fire-level-2/tree-of-life-level-2-lesson-1-symbolism-2/) - Everything in nature — in God's world — is and does function by and through certain few basic laws.

For, it is meant to be a science, and not a philosophical religion as is commonly called religion. It is, and does, conform with the teachings of the basic world religions. It is the word and essence of all the Great Religious teachings.
- [Tree of Life – Level 2, Lesson 7: The Way 5](https://holyorderofmans.org/tree-of-life-fire-level-2/tree-of-life-level-2-lesson-7-the-way-5/) - Due to the myriad of teachings of what is generally called the afterlife of man, which in reality is only the continuance of life and the fact that we do not wish to take issue with anybody's dogma. We are going to approach this subject of Heaven and Hell by giving to you the various schools of thought in saying they are right or wrong and then on the final lessons of this subject, we will teach you what our experience has taught us, and in certain things make positive declarations in accordance with the Christian way.
- [Tree of Life – Level 2, Lesson 7: The Way 4](https://holyorderofmans.org/tree-of-life-fire-level-2/tree-of-life-level-2-lesson-7-the-way-4/) - Man, even at this stage of development, is always looking for something for him to cogitate upon.

- [Tree of Life – Level 2, Lesson 7: The Way 1](https://holyorderofmans.org/tree-of-life-fire-level-2/tree-of-life-level-2-lesson-7-the-way-1/) - Jesus Christ, the great avatar and Master, who in our New Testament is spoken of as the Lord of earth, said: "I am the way, the truth, and the life." This is probably one of the most profound and all encompassing statements of our time.
- [Tree of Life – Level 2, Lesson 6: Epigenesis 2](https://holyorderofmans.org/tree-of-life-fire-level-2/tree-of-life-level-2-lesson-6-epigenesis-2/) - Peter said, in 1:13 of his first letter in the New Testament, "The grace that is to brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ." In I Peter 4:10, he asked the people that they use whatever gifts they may have received in service to one another like good stewards dispensing the Grace of God in its varied forms. It is in this way that this Grace is a gift which God bestows in one way or another, each according as He sees fit.
- [Tree of Life – Level 2, Lesson 6: Epigenesis 1](https://holyorderofmans.org/tree-of-life-fire-level-2/tree-of-life-level-2-lesson-6-epigenesis-1/) - Epigenesis is a word which covers a great group of things which play a tremendous part in our life, but many of these things happen and are not observed. In the Christian Bible, it is called the work of faith and knowing. It is the twin forces of action working through epigenesis. In Nature, we see it in the progressive growth and development of plants as it cycles seasonally. We see it in the increasing speed of movement in a tornado and its reappearance in another place.
- [Tree of Life – Level 2, Lesson 5: The Law 9](https://holyorderofmans.org/tree-of-life-fire-level-2/tree-of-life-level-2-lesson-5-the-law-9/) - Psychic Phenomena and Immortality. "Psyche" means soul, the not Spirit-ism, and psychic phenomena are the phenomena of the soul. The soul, as we already have seen, is, really, the subjective part of us, that which we call the Spiritual sight. Immortality means to the average person that man shall persist after the experience of physical death, retaining a full recollection of himself and the ability to recognize others.
- [Tree of Life – Level 2, Lesson 5: The Law 8](https://holyorderofmans.org/tree-of-life-fire-level-2/tree-of-life-level-2-lesson-5-the-law-8/) - What is a mystic? A mystic is not a mysterious person, but he is one who has a deep inner sense of Life and Unity with the Whole. He is one who intuitively perceives Truth and who, without mental process, arrives at Spiritual Realization, or a state of self-realization.
- [Tree of Life – Level 2, Lesson 5: The Law 7](https://holyorderofmans.org/tree-of-life-fire-level-2/tree-of-life-level-2-lesson-5-the-law-7/) - The Spiritual Healing through Mind is based entirely upon the reality that we are surrounded by a Universal Mind, into which we think. This Mind, in its original state, fills all space with Its Presence. It is in man, as well as outside of him.
- [Tree of Life – Level 2, Lesson 5: The Law 6](https://holyorderofmans.org/tree-of-life-fire-level-2/tree-of-life-level-2-lesson-5-the-law-6/) - Mental Healing. In healing another or yourself, repeat this: "God is All. There is only One Power, Intelligence and Consciousness in the Universe — only One Presence. Now, that One Presence cannot change. There is nothing for It to change into but Itself. It is changeless and It is my Life now. It is in me now."
- [Tree of Life – Level 2, Lesson 5: The Law 5](https://holyorderofmans.org/tree-of-life-fire-level-2/tree-of-life-level-2-lesson-5-the-law-5/) - Healing physical diseases through the power of right thinking rests entirely on the theory that we are surrounded by an Infinite Mind, which has within its memory the Word spoken by the Creator, which will always motivate the three great powers of the God force through the triune Law, bringing forms of matter into manifestation on the Earth plane.
- [Tree of Life – Level 2, Lesson 5: The Law 4](https://holyorderofmans.org/tree-of-life-fire-level-2/tree-of-life-level-2-lesson-5-the-law-4/) - Man is in a rush to attain material wealth and has closed his eyes and ears to all the things which he says are not sound, logical, and scientifically based facts. Right here let me ask you how much do you see, really how much do you see, really how much of the physical world do you see with your two eyes? How much do you accomplish with and of your own strength? Let us see what the Bible says about this law.
- [Tree of Life – Level 2, Lesson 5: The Law 3](https://holyorderofmans.org/tree-of-life-fire-level-2/tree-of-life-level-2-lesson-5-the-law-3/) - Man became an individual the day he discovered he could think, plan, and execute. Before that he had been an Instinctive Man, possessed of an Inner Something, or Life, which is God in Man, or the idea of God working through Man, for the substance of God is all that is. But man is an individual, using all his powers to build up a great "civilization," felt there was something missing — something greater than what he could see or could manifest.
- [Tree of Life – Level 2, Lesson 5: The Law 2](https://holyorderofmans.org/tree-of-life-fire-level-2/tree-of-life-level-2-lesson-5-the-law-2/) - The Law and the Way It Works. The things which we are going to lay down as laws, as the Law, are not our teachings, are not special revelations of the Holy Order of MANS. They are really the culmination of all revelations, in a sense, out of the hoary mist of Time, of ages past.
- [Tree of Life – Level 2, Lesson 5: The Law 1](https://holyorderofmans.org/tree-of-life-fire-level-2/tree-of-life-level-2-lesson-5-the-law-1/) - The Creator of the Law. More and more, we realize that revelation must keep faith with reason — that religion must stand arm in arm with the law. Both the law of the trinity and the laws of science must stand as shadows of one another's perfections, so that within the network of this exactitude, intuition may spread its wings into the unknown realms through which the average individual might call flight and fancy.
- [The Five Vows](https://holyorderofmans.org/second-level-study-plan/the-five-vows/) - Vows are the most important part of an aspirant’s spiritual path because they bring him or her into the direct experience of the personality of God.
- [World Priest](https://holyorderofmans.org/advanced-activity/world-priest/) - The Priesthood is a solar initiation. As such, it is independent of any earthly organization or institution. And its range of function is unlimited in terms of vocation, unfettered by worldly expectations of the priestly role in society.
- [Tree of Life – Level 2, Lesson 3: Power 3](https://holyorderofmans.org/tree-of-life-fire-level-2/tree-of-life-level-2-lesson-3-power-3/) - Man – in his seeking for greater power, a higher life, and the guarantee of infinite knowledge – goes through many books and legends in his quest. On the other hand, the greater part of the outer world – the material world – feels that it has the source of all power in the release of atoms and electrons by their control. But all these things are minute compared to the power and force contained in the invisible atom.
- [Tree of Life – Level 2, Lesson 3: Power 2](https://holyorderofmans.org/tree-of-life-fire-level-2/tree-of-life-level-2-lesson-3-power-2/) - The Nature of Energy which produces Power. The Sun — the visible manifestation of an invisible center - is the source of all energy. From the Sun, there radiates into the surrounding space the primary energy of Nature. This energy is of a dual nature: (+) and (-), male and female. This energy has the characteristic of a wave, and it produces a vibratory condition wherever it strikes.
- [Tree of Life – Level 2, Lesson 3: Power 1](https://holyorderofmans.org/tree-of-life-fire-level-2/tree-of-life-level-2-lesson-3-power-1/) - These are the factors which have to do with the unlimited power of man. Power is the capacity to act physically. Webster's definition is "physical force, or energy."
- [Tree of Life – Level 2, Lesson 2: Communication 3](https://holyorderofmans.org/tree-of-life-fire-level-2/tree-of-life-level-2-lesson-2-communication-3/) - This week we are going to see that there is yet another kind of communication and that this is a method of reaching the Great Creative Force of the World, or This Solar System. This is really Cosmic Telepathy of Scientific Prayer.
- [Tree of Life – Level 2, Lesson 2: Communication 2](https://holyorderofmans.org/tree-of-life-fire-level-2/tree-of-life-level-2-lesson-2-communication-2/) - In this world and between Worlds, we have a problem of communication. If there exists a problem of communication, it makes it doubly hard to have peace, because people who do not understand their neighbor certainly do not feel safe to relay their thoughts and know they agree.
- [Tree of Life – Level 2, Lesson 2: Communication 1](https://holyorderofmans.org/tree-of-life-fire-level-2/tree-of-life-level-2-lesson-2-communication-1/) - The word communication is a very interesting one. It is the connecting link between the past life experience and the existing lives we are now living — as individuals, as races, as nations, and, most of all, as the expressions of the Great Master Creator!

You will notice that these many spiritual sounds will not disturb you or come clearly to you during the hours when you are busy and active, for there must be a certain degree of relaxation to make the spiritual hearing function properly.
- [Developing the Pineal Body](https://holyorderofmans.org/advanced-activity-meditations-spiritual-exercises-part-1/developing-the-pineal-body/) - The result of this exercise, if practiced as directed, will be a clearing up of the functioning of the nose in its breathing, a checking of any colds in the head, a development of the sensitive nature of the nerves in the nose to where you will detect odors more easily, and it will also clear up the ears and make the hearing better.
- [Developing Thyroid](https://holyorderofmans.org/advanced-activity-meditations-spiritual-exercises-part-1/developing-thyroid/) - As the thyroid gland improves its functioning, the aura becomes larger and stronger, and personal magnetism is one of the first impressive elements that strangers notice in such a person. For this reason, I will give you a number of secret methods whereby you can cause your thy­roid gland to come to your aid and to help you in many ways.
- [Development of Thyroid Gland](https://holyorderofmans.org/advanced-activity-meditations-spiritual-exercises-part-1/development-of-thyroid-gland/) - The feet of man on the earth tread on a small space, but going on to where he has not trod before, he traverses a great distance easily; so his knowledge is small, but going on to what he does not already know, he comes to know what is meant by Heaven.
- [God Realization](https://holyorderofmans.org/advanced-activity-meditations-spiritual-exercises-part-1/god-realization/) - The mind should be filled as much as possible with thoughts of the coming into the body of a God power that has not been there before. For this reason, the reading of any light fiction books or the going to the theatre, and seeing plays, or the reading of newspapers with all of their sordid reports should be avoided.
- [Heart Exercise](https://holyorderofmans.org/advanced-activity-meditations-spiritual-exercises-part-1/heart-exercise/) - This exercise will give you more vitality and so-called “pep” than anything you have ever tried. You will notice before the day is over that your memory and your intuition are keener and more sensitive.
- [Inner Guidance](https://holyorderofmans.org/advanced-activity-meditations-spiritual-exercises-part-1/inner-guidance/) - Note during the day how many times you have inclinations or impulses to do certain things, even in the choice of food, books to read, newspapers selected, and so forth, or plays or motion pictures to view, or friends to call upon.
- [Let Go](https://holyorderofmans.org/advanced-activity-meditations-spiritual-exercises-part-1/let-go/) - The purpose of this is to cleanse the threefold man as well as the aura of all thought forms and habit patterns which might interfere in the Work or be of harm to the individual.
- [Letting Go](https://holyorderofmans.org/advanced-activity-meditations-spiritual-exercises-part-1/letting-go/) - If we have any desires that are evil, they are a result of our own wrong understanding and wrong attunement with conditions around us and not of any evil spirit within us. The more we attune ourselves with the higher and beautiful things of life, the less the sordid or unbeautiful will appeal. Temptations to yield to the negative things will not come to the one who is highly attuned, and he will not have to attempt to suppress the desire.
- [Morning Meditation for Seven Days](https://holyorderofmans.org/advanced-activity-meditations-spiritual-exercises-part-1/morning-meditation-for-seven-days/) - To find happiness, where it should be found, is the source of all good; and the source of all evil is to find to where it should not be found. So, let us start the day with “I wish to be happy, I accept happiness of this day.” Let us also see the goal where happiness is found and the means to find it.
- [Physical Balance 2](https://holyorderofmans.org/advanced-activity-meditations-spiritual-exercises-part-1/physical-balance-2/) - The heat in this exercise from the hands, when applied to the body of another or yourself for healing purposes rouses the vitality of the blood cells.
- [Physical Balance 3](https://holyorderofmans.org/advanced-activity-meditations-spiritual-exercises-part-1/physical-balance-3/) - Two simple steps to bring more life-force into the blood.
- [Physical Balance 5 — Glands and Blood Pressure](https://holyorderofmans.org/advanced-activity-meditations-spiritual-exercises-part-1/physical-balance-5-glands-and-blood-pressure/) - The suggested use of this exercise is twice a day — morning and night, upon rising and retiring.
- [Physical Balance 5 – Comments](https://holyorderofmans.org/advanced-activity-meditations-spiritual-exercises-part-1/physical-balance-5-comments/) - All of the lessons of the preceding months contained knowledge that would assist in awakening and regenerating the self as an entire body, but in order that certain cen­ters may be quickened and enlivened to a degree that would keep them well balanced with the rest of the spiritual body, it is necessary to consider these specialized areas and give this particular attention.
- [Method of Meditation & Procedure of Illumination](https://holyorderofmans.org/introductory-spiritual-exercises/method-of-meditation-procedure-of-illumination/) - You will work on illumination in the following manner, aside from their concentration exercises. You must know the following and use it at least three times a week.
- [Tree of Life – Fire Lesson](https://holyorderofmans.org/tree-of-life-fire-level-2/tree-of-life-fire-lesson/) - Without the existence of fire there would be no material composition in the universe. To appreciate this statement thoroughly we must first analyze and agree upon what we mean by the term fire. We do not necessarily mean the violent chemical action that attends the combustion of the ingredients of fuel with the oxygen in the air, for this condition is only resultant after a primary state of heat is in existence.
- [Suggested Reading List – Second Level Study Plan](https://holyorderofmans.org/second-level-study-plan/suggested-reading-list-second-level-study-plan/) - Suggested reading list of books and materials to enhance and complement the materials in the Second Level Study Plan.
- [Self-Realization](https://holyorderofmans.org/initiations/self-realization/) - Once you have received the initiation of Illumination and you have seen the Light of Christ in your body, you will begin to sense that the light you’re seeing comes from somewhere inside you. If you look for the source of the light, you will start to see it. And you will discover that it is, in fact, the real you...
- [Minister-Priest Ordination](https://holyorderofmans.org/initiations/minister-priest-ordination/) - There comes a point on everyone’s spiritual journey when it becomes obvious that God has something for you to do. Fortunately, since God is within us, that “something” is already calling to us.
- [Illumination](https://holyorderofmans.org/initiations/illumination/) - Light is the power of life made visible. The life you feel in your body is the Light of Christ. The initiation of Illumination reveals this light to your conscious awareness.
- [Baptism](https://holyorderofmans.org/initiations/baptism/) - The sacrament of Baptism is the first step towards receiving and accepting the Light of Christ. It dedicates the individual to the Way and prepares him or her to be brought into the Light of Christ.
- [Developing Spiritual Sight](https://holyorderofmans.org/second-level-study-plan-meditations/developing-spiritual-sight/) - In previous lessons something was said about a specific area of the brain which is concerned in spirit­ual manifestations. Now we wish to carry this awakening a little further, or perhaps to its complete and ultimate degree of activity.
- [Developing Spiritual Faculties 2](https://holyorderofmans.org/second-level-study-plan-meditations/developing-spiritual-faculties-2/) - During your meditation periods, while sitting comfortably relaxed in a dark room, try to concentrate your mind power toward some point in the room and try to form, not a cloud or mass of anything, but a few flickers of light composed of electrons which you will create from the spirit essence.
- [Developing Spiritual Faculties 1](https://holyorderofmans.org/second-level-study-plan-meditations/developing-spiritual-faculties-1/) - The following is an experiment that you will find interesting and profitable.
- [Developing Contact with Self 2](https://holyorderofmans.org/second-level-study-plan-meditations/developing-contact-with-self-2/) - There is another law for your further consideration and study. There are certain mysteries which are held as sacred mysteries in life, or in the spiritual world, which man ultimately cannot solve and understand. The greatest of all mysteries is that of God’s consciousness in man.
- [Developing Contact With Self 1](https://holyorderofmans.org/second-level-study-plan-meditations/developing-contact-with-self-1/) - Each time you try this exercise you will become more fascinated with it. You will know when you are doing it correctly if you find at the end of your concentration period that you have heard or noticed nothing around you of an objective nature, that you lost all sense of the room and place in which you were sitting, and seemed to be in another world entirely.
- [Cosmic Consciousness 2](https://holyorderofmans.org/second-level-study-plan-meditations/cosmic-consciousness-2/) - The more we dwell upon any thought, the more our whole mind and consciousness becomes attuned with that thought and similar ones.
- [Cosmic Consciousness 1](https://holyorderofmans.org/second-level-study-plan-meditations/cosmic-consciousness-1/) - Once we begin to blend in our consciousness the consciousness of the East and the West, the North and the South, and of the ancient and the modern, we will become universally attuned with the Cosmic.
- [Gift of Light to the Planet Earth](https://holyorderofmans.org/second-level-study-plan-meditations/gift-of-light-to-the-planet-earth/) - As a gift to our planet, do the following visualization...
- [Concentration 4 - Will Power Using Drops of Oil](https://holyorderofmans.org/second-level-study-plan-meditations/concentration-4-will-power-using-drops-of-oil/) - The purpose of this exercise is to provide proof of the fact that in the act of concentration there is a very definite force being exerted and that substance will be moved.
- [Concentration 3 - Ears](https://holyorderofmans.org/second-level-study-plan-meditations/concentration-3-ears/) - Through concentration we develop hearing to a point where it will be more sensitive than it is naturally, although a person with the ability to hear spiritually is really a normal person.
- [Concentration 2 – Mirror and Colors](https://holyorderofmans.org/second-level-study-plan-meditations/concentration-2-mirror-and-colors/) - This is a demonstration of the power of the vibration of thought and its control of matter which is basically light.
- [Concentration 1 – Thyroid and Aura](https://holyorderofmans.org/second-level-study-plan-meditations/concentration-1-thyroid-and-aura/) - Practice this first experiment in the use of the thyroid gland for tuning and toning your aura. This will be the first step in building up your aura in attunement with the Cosmic.
- [Concentration – Letting Go](https://holyorderofmans.org/second-level-study-plan-meditations/concentration-letting-go/) - Meditate upon the various paths you have trodden since your childhood, and think of the path that you are now on.
- [Concentration – Visualization with 10 Dots](https://holyorderofmans.org/second-level-study-plan-meditations/concentration-visualization-with-10-dots/) - There was one test for visualizing used by the ancients that we can readily adopt today, and it is a good plan for us to spend this week in a practice of this method, slightly modified.
- [Communication 3 – Visualize What You Want](https://holyorderofmans.org/second-level-study-plan-meditations/communication-3-visualize-what-you-want/) - After you read the instructions through, forget the rules and follow your own inclinations, remembering that thinking of rules and laws will prevent your success.
- [Communication 2 – Candle and Mirror](https://holyorderofmans.org/second-level-study-plan-meditations/communication-2-candle-and-mirror/) - Arrange a lighted candle in front of a mirror, while you have the other lights extinguished. The room should be dark so that the one candle gives all the light there is in the room.
- [Communication 1 – Convey a Thought](https://holyorderofmans.org/second-level-study-plan-meditations/communication-1-convey-a-thought/) - This can be used as spiritual telegraphy.
- [Chamber of Meditation](https://holyorderofmans.org/second-level-study-plan-meditations/chamber-of-meditation/) - Here we come to a very ancient symbol: the circle with a dot in its center. It is a symbol of the Universe, with its sun, a symbol of centra­lized power, a symbol of the primitive cell in all living matter and of atomic structure in the elements.
- [Creating A Home Altar](https://holyorderofmans.org/beginning-study-plan/creating-a-home-altar/) - A home altar is a very simple thing. It can be a small table with a clean white cloth placed over the top. When you have a problem in your thinking, your emotions, or with your health, or just something that is bothering you—a feeling—go to your altar, kneel before it.
- [Sacraments – A Brief Summary](https://holyorderofmans.org/beginning-study-plan/sacraments-a-brief-summary/) - Sacraments are tools used by ordained priests to bring recipients to a more purified and ennobled conscious life through the grace of God. They were created to form a bridge between ourselves and our Creator in order to move the creative powers of the Nameless One.
- [Sacraments – Mass of the Christos](https://holyorderofmans.org/sacraments/sacraments-mass-of-the-christos/) - The Holy Order of MANS has been given a great blessing in this New Age by receiving the Mass of the Christos through revelation from Jesus Christ. An ordained priest guides a student towards receiving the Christ light. When this Light is sufficiently evident in the student’s body, the priest seals this Light within it through this sacramental action.
- [Sacraments – Healing Mass of Mary](https://holyorderofmans.org/sacraments/sacraments-healing-mass-of-mary/) - In the Healing Mass of Mary, we invoke our Blessed Mother’s presence as a passageway between her and the Master Jesus so that a person who is requesting a healing can be made whole. This is accomplished by the power of God, through His Son, and facilitated by the Holy Spirit, which carries the love of God to the one to be healed.
- [Sacraments – Communion](https://holyorderofmans.org/sacraments/sacraments-communion/) - The Word made flesh is the central fact of the life of the Cosmos, and the sacrament of Communion is the central act of Christian life. It is the wonderful reality of the great Being in whom we live, move, and have our being.
- [Sacraments – Baptism](https://holyorderofmans.org/sacraments/sacraments-baptism/) - The three fundamental steps on the universal path of initiation that all people must travel in this day are Baptism, Illumination, and Self-Realization. The sacrament of Baptism is the first step towards receiving and accepting the Light of Christ. It dedicates the individual to the Way and prepares him or her to be brought into the Light of Christ.
- [Sacraments – Marriage](https://holyorderofmans.org/sacraments/sacraments-marriage/) - The sacrament of marriage is the action that introduces the sacramental character of the Divine pattern into the marriage of a man and a woman. It consecrates, or makes holy, the union of male and female in the sight of God.
- [Sacraments – Last Rites or Writ of Upsilon](https://holyorderofmans.org/sacraments/last-rites-writ-of-upsilon/) - Called in some churches "extreme unction," this sacrament is the last performed in a person's earthly life and is for the preparation of the transition of the soul from this world to the next. The rite used by the Holy Order of MANS is called the Writ of Upsilon.
- [Sacraments – Confession](https://holyorderofmans.org/sacraments/sacraments-confession/) - Confession is basically a very simple thing. It involves letting go and giving over one's sins to God. Sin is merely a name for the incorrect use of the great creative law of God. This law is the nature of our own being and function. The right use of this law brings happiness, peace, fulfillment, and realization. Wrong use of the law breeds pain, suffering, and confusion.
- [Bible Study – New Testament & Genesis](https://holyorderofmans.org/beginning-study-plan/bible-study-new-testament-genesis/) - You will be reading the four Gospels in the New Testament and the first three chapters of Genesis (the story of Creation) in the Old Testament. After you read each chapter, rewrite in a journal the essence of what is being said in your own words.
- [Immunization Exercise](https://holyorderofmans.org/introductory-spiritual-exercises/immunization-exercise/) - These exercises will contribute much to the improvement of your physical body. The effect upon the blood alone is a very wonderful thing.
- [The Candle Exercise](https://holyorderofmans.org/introductory-spiritual-exercises/the-candle-exercise/) - The Candle Exercise is really quite simple. It’s best if you use quality candles, but any candle will do, if that’s all you have.
- [Concentration – Will Power](https://holyorderofmans.org/introductory-spiritual-exercises/concentration-will-power/) - The purpose of this exercise is to direct your will power to different parts of your body.
- [Concentration – Ears](https://holyorderofmans.org/introductory-spiritual-exercises/concentration-ears/) - It is possible through exercises and concentration to develop your spiritual ears to a point where they will be more sensitive than they now are. The first and most important step in this process is to concentrate on your ears while sitting in meditation or concentration at home.
- [Concentration – Developing Aura](https://holyorderofmans.org/introductory-spiritual-exercises/concentration-developing-aura/) - This exercise helps with developing the aura.
- [Physical Balance 1](https://holyorderofmans.org/introductory-spiritual-exercises/physical-balance-1/) - It must be understood that relaxation and balance are of paramount importance in the work of developing the individual as he or she reaches toward the Illumination of the Christ Light and the Realization of God-Self. This exercise should be done each night and may be done in conjunction with or after the concentration exercises before retiring.
- [Visualization 2](https://holyorderofmans.org/introductory-spiritual-exercises/visualization-2/) - This exercise builds on the Visualization 1 — Auric Egg Exercise.
- [Visualization 1 - Auric Egg Exercise](https://holyorderofmans.org/introductory-spiritual-exercises/visualization-1-auric-egg-exercise/) - The purpose of this exercise is for you to become not only acquainted with the use of visualization and your own imaging of objects and light but also to bring you into a position where you are totally surrounded by the Christ Light.
- [Visualization - Beginning](https://holyorderofmans.org/introductory-spiritual-exercises/visualization-beginning/) - Visualization—seeing with the mind’s eye—is a process of imagery. Mastering visualization is important to your success in performing the egg of light exercises.
- [Retrospection Exercise](https://holyorderofmans.org/introductory-spiritual-exercises/retrospection-exercise/) - A prayer / reflection exercise to do each night as you’re lying in bed preparing to go to sleep.
- [Orange Concentration Exercise](https://holyorderofmans.org/introductory-spiritual-exercises/orange-concentration-exercise/) - The Orange Exercise is a simple concentration exercise, which is more than 4,000 years old.

## Sermons

- [Healing II](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/healing-ii/) - Lessons One and Two of the healing course that we had last night shows us one specific thing that I want you to try and get an understanding of. Because it’s a reality that whatever man experiences and goes through, as he goes through evolution with his spiritual being, he is also going through evolution with his physical being.
- [Flesh Body and Organs](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/flesh-body-and-organs/) - We're studying the rather schematic and sketchy outline of the organs of the body. Those who are not acquainted with our method of study, we follow through from the spiritual side of things, on through the physical and the tools of man. This is why we study the vehicle of man.
- [Man, His Function: Brotherhood](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/man-his-function-brotherhood/) - I'm going to talk tonight on a subject of (brotherhood?). There are—and I'm not referring to this person here. I am referring specifically to each one of you as individuals, and to that which you are referred to in the first chapter of Genesis, as being created in the image of the Creator, or God or Allah or whatever you want to call it, or IT rather, I should say.
- [Preparing for Initiation](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/preparing-for-initiation/) - This is a summary of the last seven weeks or what would have been covered under the subject of Preparation for Initiation.
- [Acceptance of the Teachings of Our Lord (The Purpose of the Order)](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/acceptance-of-the-teachings-of-our-lord-the-purpose-of-the-order/) - I want it to be made clear that this order stands for exactly what it portrays to stand for. And let me read to you something which I believe could be well adopted by many orders of the earth and many churches of the earth. And this is the daily Prayer of the Brothers, or the striving of the order
- [This is the Way HOOM](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/this-is-the-way-hoom/) - I'm going to talk about this because I've heard so many people talk about it in various ways for a long time, and no one seems to truly understand what we're talking about. And that is a passage in the Bible that says, "I am the Way."
- [Seeking and Seeing the Truth](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/seeking-and-seeing-the-truth/) - Tonight I'm going to talk about those of us who approach and are approaching the time mentioned in the Testament as the coming of the new world, the new earth and the new heaven, as it is put.
- [Initiation](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/initiation/) - This lesson tonight is really going to be a lecture on the ways of man in this solar system, and a little bit of the understanding of initiation.
- [Obedience through Love of Jesus: Charity](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/obedience-through-love-of-jesus-charity/) - One of the things that has come to me this morning, or has been with me, is probably one of the most important things. While we use the objective of what we've been talking about, of heaven and hell, as it carries on and over into the other world, we don't want to get locked up in philosophy to the point that we forget the reality that we have to deal with here. And that reality is what Paul spoke about when he talked about charity.
- [Light](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/light/) - And now about the series of lessons we are starting, they are the highest lessons of this order. They are simple lessons, somewhat childish, and you will note from reading them that they are intended to be read by those students wishing to attend, wishing to attain their rightful place amongst those who are the leaders of the world. You must keep that in mind when you read them, for they may seem strange.
- [Stewards of the Mysteries of God](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/stewards-of-the-mysteries-of-god/) - This morning I was able to take my text from the 4th chapter of I Corinthians. Because as it was given unto me I saw the great need we had of this in the Order. Because of our great flux and moving and the little time sometimes we had to prepare ourselves and to be with one another before we went into the field. And it appeals and it also applies to many.
- [Second Sunday in Advent — Pearl of Great Price (Advent II)](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/second-sunday-in-advent-pearl-of-great-price/) - This morning I will take my text from Matthew the 3rd chapter. 1). "In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, 2.) And saying, Repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 3). For it was he of whom it was said by the prophet Isaiah, The voice which cries in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, and make his paths straight."
- [Live in One World](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/live-in-one-world/) - Good morning. I want to give you this morning one little quotation out of the Testament in the 11th chapter of Acts. This may settle a lot of the controversy about the Teachers of the Order. For there is much that is said. It will also, incidentally, show how that another church whom recognized Peter can have a reason for recognizing him. Regardless of whether they are of the same profession or not.
- [Overcoming the Emotions](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/overcoming-the-emotions/) - This morning I'm going to break a barrier, so to speak. I'm going to talk from Revelations for it is that time and it is time that we reveal certain things.
- [True Knowledge/True Action](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/true-knowledge-true-action/) - This morning this sermon is from I Corinthians the 8th chapter, and the principal part of it is in the later text.
- [Omniscience of God in Man](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/omniscience-of-god-in-man/) - This morning I'm going to take a text which doesn't exactly speak of what I'm going to speak about. But it is the sum and substance of that which I am going to speak about. And that is the omniscience of man.
- ["Teaching How" John 6: 1 - 7](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/teaching-how-john-6-1-7/) - This is particularly appropriate at this time, for this is the fourth Sunday of Lent. It is the halfway mark of our Lord's journey toward the crucifixion and toward the resurrection. It is the time in which we stop to rest and take tally as he did. He tried to. And take a tally of what is happening, what we have gained and to prepare our self for that time and that day of the resurrection.
- [Jesus: Gift Unto Us](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/jesus-gift-unto-us/) - My text, which isn't going to be too much in reference to what I am going to speak on, as I hear it now. For we are going to follow the path of our Lord Jesus all the way to Calvary in these days and weeks. And I heartily hope that many of us may take upon ourselves that cross in the reality of the Spirit as it really is.
- [Sermon: I Peter 4](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/sermon-i-peter-4/) - This morning when I was looking for a sermon, a very interesting and most profound thing came to me. Out of First Peter and the 4th chapter: "Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same thought. For whomsoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin; 2) So as to live for the rest of time in the flesh no longer by human passions but by the will of God."
- [Sermon to Rev. Cohen, S.J.](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/sermon-to-rev-cohen-s-j/) - I am going to dedicate this sermon to a brother in the service of God, the Rev. Harold F. Cohen, Chaplain of the University of Loyola in New Orleans. He wrote to me concerning their new movement and what they call charismatic or the Pentecostal approach of the Roman Catholic Church.
- [Christmas 1972](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/christmas-1972/) - Reading from Christmas Service
- [Blessed Mother](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/blessed-mother/) - I am going to take for my text this morning, a text which I cannot prove that it was written for this purpose, but to me it has a great bearing upon our work and our lives at this time. And it is from the 2nd Epistle of John
- [Ascension](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/ascension/) - If you’ll get used to a little bit of cold, hard philosophy, we’re going to do a little on the ascension tonight so that you can get comparative reactions of these two events.
- [Arise and Take the Child](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/arise-and-take-the-child/) - I go through this every Christmas, experiencing the sorrows that our Master experiences. I take my text today out of the 2nd chapter of Matthew and the 20th verse. As we are approaching that time of celebration of our Lord we today also are approaching the reality of this. For the new heaven and the new earth is being born.
- [Acceptance of Reality](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/acceptance-of-reality/) - I take the text from the 16th chapter of Luke and the 13th verse. "If ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own. 13) No servant can serve two masters: for either he hates one and loves the other or he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon too." This is out of the 12th and 13th verses of the 6th chapter of Luke.
- [Already Given](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/already-given/) - I'm going to take my text this morning out of Galatians 3. And I'm going to call it, the text has a bearing on the subject, but it's an indirect bearing and I'm telling you this so that you may get the coordination of it.
- [The Mind](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/the-mind/) - This night I'm going to talk to you about mind, but I'm going to talk to you about mind as a useful thing and not an abstract something which you apparently do not understand many times.
- [Self: Assumption, Comprehension, Realization](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/self-assumption-comprehension-realization/) - Tonight we're going to talk about God and His creation and what you, as an individual, can do about it, the things which we learn and the things which we can use.
- [The Third Degree](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/the-third-degree/) - Tonight we are going to talk on the third degree. Now this third degree—if you were to talk to a Mason of the Masonic order, he would tell you it was the final degree of the blue lodge, and this degree—in the first three degrees of any initiatory school and in the first three degrees of earth's solar experiences are taught all of the wisdom that exists.
- [The Bitter Cup](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/the-bitter-cup/) - Good morning. As Jesus so came to us and experienced the great initiations that we might be brought into his Life, so also did he experience these that the fulfillment of the pattern of the Host and those things which had been prophesied would also be fulfilled. For in this he gave unto the world those things which were necessary as time moved on.
- [The Mystical Life of Jesus vs. Logic](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/the-mystical-life-of-jesus-vs-logic/) - You know, there are many going out into the field and certain things have arisen in our life, in our training. There are many who would seek to block the reality. I'm going to talk on the Mystic Jesus, the great reality as it really is.
- [Become as a Little Child](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/become-as-a-little-child/) - This first seven verses of the 18th chapter of Matthew certainly answers a great many things. I could go into quite a number of these attributes that Jesus has summed up here in just those seven verses. Practically all, in fact all of the beginning teachings of this Order and he has summed up the prerequisites that are necessary for attainment. He has summed up the answer to a number of our great controversies today very decidedly and doesn't give any room for questions.
- [The Kingdom of God](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/the-kingdom-of-god/) - This morning I'm going to talk to you something about the kingdom of God. A subject which has been very much debated, a subject which is not spoken of very much. And I take my text out of the 12th Chapter of Luke, verse 32.
- [Be Born Again](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/be-born-again/) - This morning, as we are approaching the realities of Easter and the realities of our Master Jesus, I'm going to take my text from John 3.
- [The Awakening](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/the-awakening/) - Tonight I'm going to talk about the awakening, along with the other things that happen. To man, this is perhaps the most important moment of his entire cycle of many lives. Most people do not understand what the awakening is.
- [Confidence in the Law](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/confidence-in-the-law/) - In the Law — we have gone into many ramifications of its use, and the Word. We've talked quite a bit about the Word, but there are some things which we haven't gone into very deeply, and one of those things is faith.
- [The Law: Lesson 5, Parts 2 & 3](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/the-law-lesson-5-parts-2-3/) - In our last lesson we spoke of being. Now we wish to pave the way so that you may understand the nature of God in relation to the Law and its use, the nature of God, of man and of being in perfect harmonious whole, the perfect God, the perfect man, the perfect being.
- [Initiation and Rituals](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/initiation-and-rituals/) - Click on headphones icon to listen to audio Transcript Lecture by Father Paul Tape 814 (For the teachers: not a class. It was being read.) One hears the term initiation and one immediately thinks of some individual going into the high mountains of Tibet, or seeking something in the Himalayas somewhere, or perhaps into
- [New Students and Letting Go – wrong title](https://holyorderofmans.org/the-sermons/new-students-and-letting-go-wrong-title/) - Special Lecture by Dr. E. W. Blighton, January 20, 1971 (Order tape 704) — wrong tape# Don’t know as I need a light ... leave it anyway. I’m going to talk to you about something tonight that I haven’t talked with you about the subject in almost two years, and that is the new
