(Ruth smelled the fragrance of the effulgence of one of the teachers, and we defined it as being this particular one and were discussing where he lived when he was on the earth, when came this answer): It does not matter that I was Chinese or Hindu, or that I lived in the place which is known as Central America or Maya; but that I served means more. These were incarnations which portrayed in their own time and in their own sense one who can be called Dratzel. That I may have been known also by other names means little, but that I am here with you means much more. Before leaving you to go to another section of this great Center, we will take you rapidly down the great corridor which divides this Seventh Section and forms a means for ingress and egress; it is more than just a corridor as you will see that it takes you quite a little while to walk from one side to the other, walking very rapidly. It could be easily a mile in width; you see that there are many thousands of souls who are moving rapidly back and forth through this great corridor. I will not say, moving upon the surface, because we do not travel on the surface as much as we simply travel. I hope that this method does not confuse you. Now, going down this great corridor I can point out numerous sections which are actually huge dimensions, in themselves, portraying to the students and to the teachers alike, the different dimensions of inspirational devotion which goes on through many innumerable evolutions of lives in the average individual’s span of existence. Here, in this Center, you will see the more modern of what is termed Catholicism which is presided over by such personages as Saint Francis of Assisi and various others who are learning and teaching the initiate in the various transpositional phases of Catholicism as it was in existence upon the earth.

Let us say, however, that none of the materialism which was portrayed by some of the priests or exponents of that period is portrayed here, but rather only in a relationship that it will mean a useful lesson for the future student in his evolution – to not participate in such materialism. As in all other great religions, Catholicism was, and still is, relegated to these materialistic influences from designing or conniving minds who would use any divine science for the purposes of self-exploitation and benefits. You might find other notable personages in the portrayal of that religion and the numerous branches of the various Protestant and reform religions which sprang from the revolt against what has been called the Holy Roman Empire; you will see these numerous priests, ministers, or bishops as they lived in their earth lives during the period of Reformation or until more recent times.

Across the corridors here you will see a great personage who is teaching in a Center or dimension which is devoted to Egyptology – a person named Hermes. There are many devotees of both ancient and modern Egypotology who are presiding in this dimension and are teaching the initiate as well as being taught by the higher Adepts who come into this Center, and so it is on down the corridor. We can mention here that this section or dimension is devoted to the past, the present and the future of Hinduism, and modern devotional lives in India and the surrounding countries of Thailand and Borneo are most dramatically displayed and kept alive – a functional order in this great Center.

Here, is another area in the ancient and modern Chinese religious systems in devotional capacities. It is most proper for me to say, at this moment, that the experience of inspirational devotion within oneself to the higher order is most cleansing and revitalizing if it is done most properly with the correct understanding and the knowledge that you are entering in and participating in the expression of God. It is your purpose in your evolution to find out this fact most dramatically, which is exploited in your numerous reincarnations, that you should never, at any time, separate yourself from the God Force or the God Expression within you. You should never set God aside and worship Him, but you should approach Him as He would have you approach Him in a living way. You are His child or His creation so that He may enter you fully and thus will you be cleansed and revitalized and be rebuilt. This is the purpose of all of these great Centers here in this most high plateau of UN.AR.I.U.S. – to instruct both the initiate and the Adept into the most proper functioning of the integration of this Life Force. As we proceed down this great corridor, we find all the old and most ancient orders of religions, theosophical, theological, or devotional cultures which have ever existed on your own present planet, plus many of those which are within your own influence from various other Celestial or astral planets which are swinging throughout these vast galaxies of what is sometimes most wrongly called space. So it is that I have been most happy that you have permitted me to enter your sanctuary and to conduct you in these explorations in whatever small capacity that I am capable, and I shall be most happy to serve in whatever way I may in the future. ~ God’s Blessings, Dratzel.
