EC: Yes, we have those relations with the Association of
National Investigators, and the various contemplated fields
of endeavor as respecting education or the educational phase
of its work. As has been given, this is one - or the
greatest scope of the work of the Association, for the
ensample as may be given and as may be lived in the lives of
individuals who may contact same is the greatest scope, the
greatest field of endeavor. There must, however, be those
first principles as set forth by the Association. [GD's
note: See previous advice under [
254] series in re A.U. In
the 1960's indexing program the A.U. rdgs. from
12/13/29
forward were moved out of the [
254] series to become 2087-1
through
2087-7. For previous info. study index under [
254]
series in re A.U.] This shall be kept first and foremost in
the heart and minds of each and every individual. Not as a
tenet to blind the eyes of any. Not merely as a catch-phrase
that may influence the lives of individuals seeking to find a
way of expressing their individual selves concerning the
things that are awakened in the heart and soul of an
individual; but rather as a living motto in the hearts, in
the lives, in the daily manifestations of each and every
individual, whether this be the truckman, the gardener, the
instructor, the pupil, or he that would head such an endeavor
- but let it ever be "That We May Make Manifest OUR Love, MY
Love, ALL Love, for God and Man" [This quote was an expansion
of the original motto or creed for "the work" given in
254-42
on
7/15/28: THAT WE MAY MAKE MANIFEST THE LOVE OF GOD AND
MAN. In
254-42, Par. 10 and Par. 17-A, MHB had expanded it
as above to "Our Love" in his Introductory Booklet on A.N.I.
Then 2087-1 on
12/13/29 phrased it back to him adding to his
"Our Love", the additional words "My Love, All Love, for
God"]. That we may know our relations with our fellowman, to
do good, that we may make manifest God's love for man. THIS
shall ever be the criterion, the basic force, for any such
endeavor - and with this there needs be little fear of the
success as may be attained, or little fear of the character
of the position such an institution, such an assemblage, may
hold in the hearts and minds of people everywhere. Taking
that as may be found in every clime, every cism [schism],
every ism, that IS truth, and so prepare same that it may
find the answer in the hearts and minds of those that seek to
know what THEY, THEMSELVES, may do to make this experience,
this present manifestation of life in the individual entity,
and making it more worthwhile by DOING SOMETHING for the
other fellow. In such an undertaking there needs be little
fear but what there will be some influences that will tend
to hamper, to interfere, to bring doubt, to cause
consternation in many places; yet will each individual that
associates him or herself with such an [will] undertaking,
so ground themselves first in that same tenet, so sanctify
their lives, their endeavors, their hearts, their abilities,
their lives to such, it, their life, will be made worthwhile
- for there is the promise given, "He that abides in me shall
NOT want," and there has never been seen the seed of him that
trusteth in God BEGGING for bread. The Truth is the bread of
life, even as is found in Him that made life MANIFEST in the
material world, and in that SPIRIT, in HIS spirit, as He made
manifest the love of God toward man, so may those who would
teach - whether the teaching be that of shoveling dirt,
raising cabbage, extracting square root, or making drinks, be
done with that purpose "That I MAY MAKE MANIFEST My Love, MY
Concept, of the God that I trust with my soul" [See original
motto wording 254-42]. THEN, the Association will blossom as
the rose, and the good WILL not be evil spoken of. Ill will
comes from selfishness, and IS OF Him that would hinder - the
devil.
In the ways that is [are] set, these may bring that as is
sought, in an educational way and manner. Not a tenet, as
a tenet - but that tenet given that, LIVED IN the life, will
bring the better knowledge of man's passing through THIS
material plane. Behold the harvest is ready, the laborers
have ever been few - yet he that takes this yoke upon himself
and looketh back, or is tempted of the flesh, or of the eye,
or of position and fame, and FALLETH - is worse than if he
had NOT taken hold; for, even as it was said, "Better had he
never been born, or that the millstone was hanged about his
neck and he was cast in the depths of the sea" - for "He that
maketh one of my little ones to err, becomes a stumbling
block to many". But, lift up thine eyes unto the holy
mount, and gain from that as may be experienced in the heart
of self, that association OF self with the Spirit that is
shed abroad in that lowly sentence "That We May Make MANIFEST
OUR Love for God and Man" [paraphrasing of original motto
given in
254-42, Par. 17-A,
7/15/28]. The time is ready.
Who will harken? Who will make ready, that the light may
shine unto the dark places? The time is at hand. MAKE
ready. Ready for questions.
(Q) Should Dr. Wm. Moseley Brown assume the responsibility
of directing it in collaboration with the other members of
our Educational Committee and the members of the Association?
(A) Will Dr. Wm. Moseley Brown make himself the channel
for such as has just been given, then DEDICATE his life,
his heart, his ABILITIES, those of the talents as have been
GIVEN him, to the service of man in understanding THAT
relationship. The abilities are there. The talents are
there. Will he make them one with that necessary for the
proper understanding and relationship, then DO so.
(Q) Can Dr. Brown render better service to humanity by
following some other line of work, at the same time
maintaining his advisory relationship to the Association,
or should he devote his full time to the Association's
educational work?
(A) THAT must be determined in the heart and soul of Dr.
Brown. A house divided against itself CANNOT stand. Ye
cannot serve God and mammon. Ye are either for or AGAINST
me, saith the Lord - for "This day, as of old, there is set
before thee good and evil. Choose THOU whom ye will serve".
(Q) Is the present an auspicious time for the establishment
of the university?
(A) The time is at hand. The harvest is ready. Begin.
Commence. Understanding that, to succeed, it must be builded
upon that as given. We are through.

REPORTS
1/13/30 Mr. Thomas B. Brown's letter to EC:
"...Concerning the University, there is need for such an
institution as we had in mind and while it would have been
best to have started with but a few teachers who knew of
our purpose and a very few students, and to have builded
from that start and as a foundation for a larger institution.
The present institution to my way of thinking isn't as we
anticipated, through no fault of any particular person.
However, looking at in philosophically, the experience will
be beneficial to all and from this experience a greater
institution will spring forth in not too distant a
future..."
2/15/30 See
2087-2 in re. Atlantic University.
2/23/30 He wrote: "...I called on Professor Frank D. Slutz
yesterday. He was leaving for Chicago and couldn't give me
much time. I told him that we wanted to leave to posterity a
system whereby the minds of children could be trained to be
turned within and acquire wisdom or knowledge through this
development of their intuitive faculties. I said the method
of this could best be laid out by those in charge and I would
recommend that after talking to Franklin Bradley and others
interested in this, he could take a trip down to Va. Beach
and see the plans. I told him very little other than that
we wanted to be of service in a better educational
system...leaving to Dr. Wm. Moseley Brown the presentation
of plan and other details in re Dr. Slutz joining A.U.
faculty..."

THE IDEAL OF ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY [Quote from 2087-1]
This shall be kept first and foremost in the heart and
mind of each and every individual.
Not as a tenet to blind the eyes of any.
Not merely as a catch-phrase
that may influence the lives of individuals
seeking to find
a way of expressing their individual selves
concerning the things
that are awakened in the heart and soul
of an individual;
but rather as a living motto
in the hearts,
in the lives,
in the daily manifestations
of each and every individual,
whether this be the truckman,
the gardener,
the instructor,
the pupil,
or he that would head such an endeavour -
but let it ever be
That We
May Make Manifest
OUR Love
MY Love
ALL Love
for God and Man.
That we may know
our relations with our fellow man,
to do good,
that we may make manifest God's love for man.
THIS shall ever be the criterion,
the basic force,
for any such endeavour -
and with this
there needs be little fear

or little fear
of the character of the position such an institution,
such an assemblage,

and minds
of people
everywhere.
(In your meditations and prayers for Atlantic University,
please hold in the light this Seal and the affirmation in
this reading.)

A.U.] and Jim Baker [A.R.E. Congress Delegate from B.C.]
to A.R.E. 1977 Congress Delegates in re:
GROUP VI - (7) EDUCATION ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY
Action Proposals:
1) Consciousness-Raising.
That the members of this Congress and all of the A.R.E.
membership convenant together, to concentrate on, meditate
on, dream about, think about, and pray for the Atlantic
University Seal and Affirmation, to focus the energies of
the Creative Forces available to each of us, in order to
manifest Atlantic University, so that it may truly represent
that which it is capable of becoming, as an instrument of
service. Before next Congress, this process should be
communicated through the A.R.E. Journal, the A.R.E. News,
the Association of Learning Newsletter, (Friends of Atlantic
University), so the whole A.R.E. membership can focus on
energizing and supporting Atlantic University.
2) Implementation.
That an Atlantic University Steering Committee be formed,
composed of A.R.E. members from all walks of life, "...The
truckman, the gardener, the instructor, the pupil, or he
that would head such an endeavor...", (2087-1), whose primary
A.R.E. committment would be to Atlantic University throughout
their membership on this committee. The purpose of this
committee would be to lovingly and carefully guide, with
decency and order, the unfoldment of Atlantic University,
incorporating and being responsive to the contributions
resulting from proposal number one. The members of this
committee will be selected from a pool of volunteers, by the
President and Executive Director of Atlantic University.
Suggestions:
1) That an ongoing space in the A.R.E. Journal be devoted to
dissemination of information about Atlantic University, in a
similar way to that for the A.R.E. Clinic.
2) That a newsletter for the same purpose be initiated for
those specifically interested in Atlantic University, the
Association of Learning, (Friends of Atlantic University).
3) That the Steering Committee summarize and coordinate
contributions of all kinds, spiritual, mental, and physical:
dreams, visions, meditations, ideals, ideas, books, funding,
donated time, equipment, etc., resulting from the above
actions, and communicate with A.R.E. members through the
Atlantic University channels.
4) That an annual report on Atlantic University progress be
made at each Congress.
5) That a permanent Atlantic University exhibit be maintained
in the A.R.E. library.
6) That the Steering Committee produce a list of potential
adjunct faculty available to Atlantic University.
7) That an acting secretary coordinate the material until
such time as a Steering Committee is formed.
8) That Atlantic University continue to expand the existing
program of introducing courses, some for credit, through
experimental college programs to be presented between summer,
spring, and winter sessions.
9) That necessary activities to obtain accreditation for
Atlantic University be continued.
10) That development be continued of a separate brochure
that would describe the ideals, purposes, plans, and
personnel for Atlantic University based on excerpts from
the work readings concerning Atlantic University.
