To All Who Have Eyes to See and Hearts to UnderstandOCM HYMNAL MUSIC AND SONGMusic and song have an important role in the spiritual and mystic life. They evoke spiritual aspiration and devotion from the individual and invoke mystic and spiritual powers from the higher realms. It is the object of this small collection to take advantage of the most beautiful and well-known words and tunes, and also of the currents of force from on high generated by their use by thousands of earnest seekers for hundreds of years. While the words used seem orthodox, yet if they are read in the light of their mystic interpretation they give evidence of true inspiration and spiritual realization, and reveal the deepest occultism and mysticism. One can become an occultist by acquiring occult knowledge through the intellect, but to become a Mystic requires the development of the heart qualities as well, which are attained through aspiration and devotion. Hence the emphasis we place upon the devotional side of our teachings.

The Teachings of The Order of Christian Mystics Awaken the Inner Life. THE LOVE OF RABIACCAA Tragedy in Five Acts. A most astounding prophecy. A thrilling tale of a pre-historic race, recovered psychically by the Authors. The legend is that ages ago, before the Mayas reached the zenith of their glory, there came to them a white child who had remarkable psychic and prophetic powers. She was said to have come from "over the mountains" and as the city was surrounded by inaccessible mountains which made communication with the outside world impossible, except through a secret pass known only to the priests, the appearance of such a child was considered miraculous. This white child was given into the care of the priests and attached to the Temple of the Sun where she was brought up in all the learning of the priesthood, and in time was made their High Priestess and was married to the king. Under guidance of her divine inspiration the nation grew and prospered to such an extent that it became the leader in learning, civilization and power. But at the death of the king the Priestess-queen was betrayed and murdered at the instigation of the king's sister who desired to inherit the throne. After the tragedy it was found that a miracle had taken place, for although the Priestess was stabbed to the heart, no blood had flowed. The priests then took charge of the body and claimed that it would remain in a state of suspended animation and perfect preservation until the Soul of the Priestess returned. During the centuries that have elapsed, the nation gradually declined until it is now composed of but a few insignificant tribes buried in the mysterious mountain fastnesses of Central America into which no white man has ever been permitted to penetrate. But the priests still declare that the Priestess-queen will some day return and restore the glory of the nation. Contents ACT I. The Battlements of the City. ACT II. The Shrine on the Mountainside. ACT III. The Crypt Beneath the Temple. ACT IV. The Love Philtre. ACT V. Scene I. The Rite of Naked Sword. Scene II. The Flaming Pyre, and the Prophecy.

ForewordThis little book comes to you, dear reader, as a messenger winged with the love of the Master Who would gather His children from the four winds.

The Teachings of The Order of Christian Mystics Awaken the Inner Life. THE DIVINE MOTHERThe most beautiful gem of the series. Today, as never before, a cry of heart-hunger goes up from a humanity which has waited so long for a real understanding of all that, age after age, it has accepted, has striven to live for, has died for, yet has not fully understood or received. This great hunger-cry is not a cry for physical things but is the fulfilment of the days so long foretold of old: "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord." To all such the Divine Mother comes holding in her outstretched arms the radiant form of Her Son, the Lord of Glory, the fruit of Her bringing forth. With the birth of Her Son in this New Age She brings to our remembrance all that has been told us, all that has been whispered to our hearts during the dark watches of the long night, all that the Light has revealed in the mystical depths of our consciousness. And in Her loving voice, soft as the whisper of a gentle air from heaven, She says: "Children, behold My Son " And She beckons to the heart-hungry and says: "Welcome to my feast. It is spread for all who will come and partake and live. For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world." Contents-The Divine Mother.-The Bringer Forth. -The Midnight Prayer.-The Waters of Life.-The Comforter.
