FORWARD
The following will be excerpts from the first letter written by Annalee to one of her friends, September 10, 1949, after a period of silence of approximately three years.
My darling,
I must get in touch with you at once. It is most urgent. I have been instructed to gather up my loved ones, that now is the time for them to be gathered into this great and marvelous work: The great unspeakable blessings that the Lord had for me have been poured out without measure—. It will take volumes to tell you all, but first I must locate you.
This book (volume I of Ye Are Gods – a smaller volume) has gone forth like a fflame of glory to the honest and true in every country. Now has come forth volume II of YE ARE GODS.· It is like nothing else ever written. For months the very light of it would almost blind me if I so much as turned my thought toward it. I was positive that I could never write it. I doubted if any human being could. It contains the laws of the Millennial Day, and is breathtaking in its glory. Then one morning about seven weeks ago I was awakened early and commanded to get up and write it. And though I had been so positive I could never write it, the words and the scripture flowed through my mind like light and almost seemed to place themselves upon the pages in a rhythm of living glory, and I watered it with my tears. The veil rolled back and I stood an the brink of eternity with one foot lifted ready to step through, while the past, the present and the future blended in a panorama of glory that was beyond anything my mind had before dreamed of.
As I stood with one foot lifted, ready to step across, I was told that I was to wait and gather up my loved ones. And though I have been in contact with none of my friends or loved ones for a period of nearly two years, yet in most miraculous ways those I love have been getting in contact with me. The threads of love are reaching across the years and the miles—and Reason and I in breathtaking wonder exclaim continually, “Oh, it is so beautiful! And it is: Only now we know and understand what it is all about, and our hearts are a continual melody of love and light. For it is like nothing else on earth.
I wanted so bad to take you with me but that became impossible as you became too engrossed in gathering your red glass beads.
I have never felt so humble in my life, nor so filled with love –and with my SOUL filled with the vision of light I say, if you are interested, let me share these things with you.
Reason and I both send our love from the highway of the stars.
Forever and forever yours,
Annalee
PERSONAL GLIMPSES
Before I came to Buffalo, oh, a year or so before, I used to look at my books and know that I was going to leave, and that I would not be able to take them with me, and that anything I wanted out of them I would have to get into my mind and being. And now I know that shortly every book and record I have in my possession will be left behind, that whatever I take with me must be carried in the cells of my mind and my body. It sort of gives one that famished feeling which bears get late in the autumn before they hibernate. They are never ravenous when they come out in the Spring, but as they seek to store food for the winter ahead. Well, that is me at the present time. I am almost trying to memorize every important passage of scripture we posses–and as one advances along this highway, they each become more and more important. I have to enlarge my capacity to consume and to digest mentally and spiritually every needed morsel for the future–and then I know that the Holy Spirit will bring it forth when I need it.
It is all so wonderful. I am so filled with joy and gladness and rejoicing that it seems that the whole universe is becoming a melody of light and glory, and as though my own love was lifting me out into it. How great God has been to us to give us blessings so great.
Thanksgiving (1951) Reason and I sat down as soon as we got out of bed and each began writing down the list of our deepest gratitudes. After we had each finished two full pages we compared them and they were almost identical, just worded differently.
And now before I go running away with all this singing joy in my soul I want to tell you something that you might be interested in. Remember our first attempted Christmas gift, and how far it fell short? Then last year I offered as my sift this singing song of ecstasy, promising never to lose it for a minute if possible. It has been such a source of strength to me, and has seemed to open the very windows of heaven during this last year. There were moments when I did not live up to it–but never more than an hour at a time did there come even a shadow of a vibration over me that was not pure glory–and then it was a wane little flickering fear as to what the authorities would do when this new book is released, for it is tremendous and the impact of it will truly be like an arrow, violently shot from a bow, as the writer of the Odes of Solomon described it. But even the great responsibility of gains beyond the orthodox teachings can no longer send the tiniest breath of a shadow across my mind now–and it seems that life has become glorified in pure light.
I used to grieve over the responsibility of this work for I felt so sure that if the authorities could not see or accept it then it was I who had been led astray. And I felt that if I had failed, or been deceived I would be willing to crawl across this entire continent on my hands and knees to seek forgiveness and to try and undo what I had sent forth in that first small work. I would kneel for hours pleading with the lord to let me know wherein I had erred, or failed. Then came the answer and I could never again doubt, nor be dismayed or concerned, for if I had it would have been the unpardonable sin.
I was asked, “Annalee, is it wickedness to believe in the words that Christ taught, The Sermon the Mount, the mercy and power of being able to forgive evil, the great two commandments, the perfecting of love, the vision of perfection? Are these things truth or error? And what is the price you are willing to pay for TRUTH? Can you give up conformity for it? Can you stand alone against the world for it?” And I knew that even my soul would be a small price to pay for Truth. And it no longer mattered who believed and who didn’t.
I am standing quite breathless upon the threshold of the New Year–for it is the year of fulfillment (1952). Continually more and more marvelous things are happening. And more and more people are coming to us, asking what it is we have, most of them perfect strangers. A woman came Friday to the house, saying she felt that she just had to talk to me for when I passed her it was like being surrounded with music and light. Imagine?
If only I could just send you my letter files and let you read the miraculous things which are recorded in them–letters from people on the verge of suicide, those given up by doctors, those so hopeless and in such despair they desire only to die, and then these books came into their hands, and as they begin to apply these higher teachings the darkness lifts and their letters become a melody of living light and glory. It is a miracle end a wonder continually, the power of this Light as it begins to grow in the hearts and souls of men.
Remember the time my hand was burned so terribly on the electric iron, and how it was healed in one night–and the time I told you about. when I had made up my mind to enjoy my sinus—and the result? Well all it was just contacting this super-consciousness, or this great Spiritual force of Light and power. Now I know lust how to do it, and just what it is. And when one learns to abide in that light, they are truly abiding in god and He is abiding in them, and there is nothing that can hurt thee. Pain becomes a thing that can no longer exist for that person. Can you understand? Please try hard. Not with a great tenseness, but with a relaxed stillness of inner joy. This great power has always been with us. It is ours. It always has been.
You mentioned that sacred symbol of seven. Seven has always had a special place in my life. I was born on the seventh day of the seventh month. I was the seventh child in my family—and have seven letters in my name. From the time I was a little girl I have always felt that there was a definite meaning behind those sevens. And especially in this seventh year of never ending struggle to fulfill the teachings as they were unfolded.
I went out into the hills and pleaded with God to let me understand His Will and was told that if Reason and I would marry and live the law of chastity for a year we would receive the love that passeth understanding. It was just a year later that this work was placed in our laps–this great work that purifies and perfects love–love so divine, so glorious and so eternal it can heal a world, and melt the stones. Yes, we did receive that love, and the law of chastity has become a part of our lives. How good God has been to us. That first year we spent much of our nights on our knees and in tears, so great was our love for each other, but for God, for the world, for all mankind; and the promise has been fulfilled beyond anything I could possibly have dreamed of at the time it was given.
We have traveled such a long ways since that winter of intense training. I don’t think either my mind or my soul has ever let go for one instant since this was placed so definitely in our hands. It has been something so real that I have never been able to let go of it. It has been there every waking moment–a living, growing challenge. It has been so much bigger than I, so far beyond my feebleness and inability to comprehend and cope with in times past, but a thing that had to be lived and proved and made into tangible reality. I stand with my head bowed and such a feeling of reverence and awe in my soul that only tears can express.
Reason, bless his dear heart, it wasn’t until he came back here the last time and mortgaged his life for several years ahead to have this work published that it became a part of him also. It would come and go in his life, but it was never a steady thing until he gave of himself–and for these last four years he too has held to it without ever wavering for a moment. He has been wonderful! The light-mindedness has been so far left behind that it is almost impossible to recall those moments. His true sense of humor, his joy in existence has increased. His depth of understanding and his love are so much a part of him that never an instant are they lacking. He has learned to stand like a rock, firm and true, and a joy to work with. These great truths bring out the great strength of one’s soul and it is truly as though they were a new creature. Once or twice I tried to tell you that I could look beyond the outside and look into Reason’s soul, and it was so wonderful. He has completely fulfilled every expectation and has practically turned himself inside out for now the outside is like I know the inside to be. One has but to look at him to feel that they are viewing the realm beyond the pearly gates is peace and quiet and power and goodness and infinite love. We have never taken much time to enjoy each other. We have both been so absorbed in comprehending and fulfilling these laws, in training our minds and soul to glorify God, but I feel that he was called and ordained to help establish this work. it has been such a great joy to travel together. It had to be this way.
In Reason’s blessing he was told that he had chosen me to be his mate in the pre-existence–and that during the millennium we would have a family. The time is so close. This little while ahead will soon end. Yes, Reason has been the most wonderful partner in this work. He has sacrificed and labored and taken odd jobs on the side and drudged to put this work out and never in these four and one half years has he ever complained. In the beginning we often went hungry to meet the payment and he loved
it. It seemed like the tougher it got the more he rejoiced in it. Months during the coldest parts of the winter he would walk the two or three miles to work because he didn’t have bus fare. He has been like a Superman from the moment he finally got a good hold upon this work. He has been magnificent.
When he was a boy, Reason used to study the promises made in Revelations. They opened his heart and started him searching for truth and light and caused him to walk out of the Presbyterian Church when he was only 16 years old–sent him around the world and brought us together when he was prepared to fulfill these higher laws.
I know exactly how you feel about meeting with those who have no understanding of this great light and whose lives are empty and meaningless. One of the great teachers taught, “one cannot reach the heights if he carries an excess burden of many acquaintances.” These who do not see and understand must be left behind, since it is impossible to take them with us at the present time–but always there is the prayer in my heart that we might later go back and gather them up–at least those who desire to come with us.
For many years I have separated myself from those who do not speak my language. Reason, bless his heart, did not understand that at first. He wanted me to mix with his friends, to visit much and often with his folks. It was an utter waste of time. Before too long he began to understand. The only meeting ground at that time was for me to step down to their frivolous level of thinking for if I had tried for even one moment to lift them to mine, they would have resented it terribly. So our visits were rare, short and filled with love. Now they are beginning to come to us and ask what it is we have that they haven’t got. We finally gave them copies of these books and they have not only studied them, but have passed them out to their friends. Lately there have been so many outsiders who have come to us to teach them.
Yes, I am afraid that those who step out into this Light are resented by all who cannot see it. We cannot possibly take those with us who will not come. And though I stood alone to give my life with my whole family bowing their heads in my shame, as they would consider it, yet I would have to go on. And who knows but by our going on we may be able to take them all with us before it is finished.
Before long these great truths will fully come to light. I have been studying about them since I was a child. When in high school I used to refuse to go on dates and picnics so I could stay home and curl up on my bed and study the ancient records of the Old Testament–the genealogies–the time schedules–the movements of people and the background of the world. I have stood before it in awed breathlessness–and have always felt that someday the full knowledge would be revealed.
What a glorious world we live upon. How marvelous it is. And what a great privilege it is to be able to belong to it. I’ve always rejoiced that I was permitted to come to Earth instead of some other planet.
