CYCLE FIVE

1. JOY THROUGH TRUTH. The power of God (the Holy Spirit) leads to the glory of Heaven ... as surely as truth leads to joy. For God is truth, and Heaven is joy. The truth of divine doing (in meditation techniques), and the joy of supreme being (in the calmness/lightness of universal spirit). God is the power (of divine doing) which lifts the personal self/spirit towards the universal self/spirit of supreme being, whose plateau of heavenly joy is the glorious fulfilment of truth.

2. THE GOD-SELF. It is not I who meditates but God in me, the 'will to glory' through truth which lifts me above my phenomenal self and gives to my spiritual self the wings of divine resolve upon which to fly to my heavenly destination in perfect union with the supreme being of universal joy.

3. BEYOND GOD. I am the Holy Spirit of Heaven when my spirit is in harmony with the supreme spirit whose heavenly lightness lifts it above all that is not universal. In becoming the Holy Spirit of Heaven I pass beyond God (the Holy Spirit) to Heaven itself, which is the resolution of all divinity. For Heaven transcends God ... as glory transcends power, or joy transcends truth. Thus he who attains to Heaven no longer believes in God; for he has passed beyond the power of truth to the glory of joy, wherein his spirit is absorbed in graceful identification with the universal spirit of supreme being. God is the divine means to the heavenly end, the cultural power that leads to the universal glory, the truthful technique that makes possible a joyful release into the supreme salvation of Eternal Life.

4. HEAVEN. There can be no Eternal Life without God, but neither is there Eternal Life with God. He who enters Eternity has left God behind in the divine wake of his heavenly ascent. God saves from the World, but, ultimately, Heaven saves from God, whose divine flap is but a powerful means to the graceful perfection of a being supreme.
