A young maiden who knew not of her godhood, while
traveling through the dark of night in a far country, saw a brilliant light
in the distance. Suddenly, the light was right before her and she beheld
a great dragon breathing a beautiful and glorious flame from his mouth. So
magnificent was the flame, and so great was her curiosity that she was not
afraid, but longed to understand the beauty of the flame.
Then , the dragon spoke. "Come hither , O sparkling young goddess.
Satisfy your curiosity. It is the Word of the First Prince within you that
causes you to be fascinated with the fire from this dragon's mouth. Draw
closer, if you dare, and gaze boldly, and deeply into my mouth. Then,
I will depart from you. But remember the vision you see in the fire of the
dragon's breath. Hold it forever in a secret, special place, nigh unto your
heart. On the morrow's morn, go into the village with the rising of the sun
and tell not a soul of the vision you shall behold. For if you reveal
the secret of the vision in the dragon's breath, you will bring certain
destruction upon the villagers. Now, let me warn you. If you look deeply
and forthrightly into the fire of the dragon's breath for too long, you may
be transformed into a dragon such as I."
The young goddess stepped bravely forward , ignoring
the dragon's warning. She peered into the mouth of the dragon and her whole
body shuddered at the glorious vision she beheld. She basked in the
light of understanding, which radiated from the flaming vision, until
tears of joy flowed abundantly down her cheeks. The dragon chuckled
and departed from her, as he promised.
As the young maiden watched the dragon depart, she heard
him say, "Remember. Tell not a soul of the vision I have shared with you."
The maiden smiled as she realized that the dragon's warning
had been in vain. She laughed aloud, ".....be turned into a dragon, indeed....
What nonsense!"
The next morning, when the young maiden entered into
the village square, all the villagers rushed out to see her. Before any one
of them could get a word out, her heart became overwhelmed with the power
of the vision she had seen in the fire of the dragon's breath. Her mouth
became so full that her lips burst apart and she began to speak of the great
vision she had beheld.
"Last night I chanced to encounter a great dragon who
breathed a magnificent and glorious flame from his mouth. When I looked
into the fire, I beheld a most beautious vision. I saw two wheels rotating
around the axis of the heart of all mankind. And the first wheel came
out of the mouth of the First Prince and was the Word of the First Prince.
It shone like the very light of heaven and was the foundation of the Body
of Christ, the sweet Second Prince. The second wheel came out of the mouth
of the first wheel and was the word of the Second Prince. Then the
spokes of the second wheel aligned with the spokes of the first wheel. The
combined light of the two wheels increased to such a brilliance , it healed
the hearts of all the citizens of the world. The revelation was of such splendor,
it brought tears running down my face..."
The villagers had gathered very closely about the young
maiden, looking straight and deeply into her mouth, with astonishment and
awe. Suddenly the maiden saw all the villagers fall dead as if burned by
fire. She blinked , and when she opened her eyes, all the villagers had arisen
with a newness of spirit. And to her amazement some of them had been
transformed into dragons and were breathing fire upon the faces of the
others.
The greatest shock came, however, when she happened to glance
into the pool at the edge of the square and discovered that she, herself,
had been transformed into a dragon all along. At once, she remembered
that the dragon she met, chuckled as he departed from her on that fated night.
Then she, too, chuckled as she realized the mighty power of the vision
of The Wheel In The Middle Of A Wheel , in the fire of the dragon's
breath.

Here, in this moment, meet the The Second Principle of
Consciousness, the Christ.
It is the Second Prince incarnate within you. It is the Word or Self-thought
of the Father, made manifest through the reflective law of the Holy Ghost.
It is that self-conscious awareness which is peering out through your
eyes to behold the world around you. It is the "I" within your "me"
and your "my". It is the self that is reading these words right now. This
consciousness with which you perceive the existence of all things in Life,
is the Second Prince, called Christ. It is not the flesh body, but the spirit
within the flesh body. Christ is not confined to the personage of Jesus ,
but is a fundamental element of the triunital consciousness incarnate within
all humankind.
Now, within the Trinity of our individual being, we
exist as a spherical center of self-conscious awareness, the c-o-s-c-a.
All self-conscious thought, within triunital individuality, occurs
in the cosca. Within the cosca, there exists two self-conscious thinkers,
creating patterns by which the sub-conscious Third Prince takes shape,
as form within our experience, that is, within our bodies and the body of
our affairs. These are the First and Second Princes, called the Father
and the Son, Christ. They are the co-creative team within the cosca. The
Third Prince transmutes Itself into our experiences according to the images
within the thoughts of these two self-conscious thinkers. These two centers
of self-conscious awareness co-exist within one another in mutual permeation,
and the Second Prince, Christ, can be seen figuratively as a wheel in the
middle of a wheel.
At the center of the cosca is the Word of the First Prince,
the first self-conscious thinker. That coscal center, within which is the
Word of the Father Prince, is the primary centerpoint of the cosca.
Also at the center of the cosca, is the word of the Second
Prince. That coscal center, which is the word of the Second Prince, is the
secondary centerpoint of the cosca.
Each human entity, each Christ Child, is figuratively
a wheel in the middle of wheel. The first wheel emanates from the Word of
the Father and the second wheel emanates from the word of the Given Christ
individual. The centers of the wheels represent the centers of self-conscious
thought/word. Altogether, the spoke of each wheel represent the presence
of the Holy Ghost working along definite lines of relative action, as it
materializes into experience at the rim of the wheel. The rim of the wheel
represents the total body of experience of any given Christ Child, or human
entity. The points where the spokes touch the rim of each wheel represent
specific experiences in the body and the body of affairs revolving around
the given Christ individual. The Word of the Father, that is, His thoughts
of Himself and His thoughts of any particular Christ individual, constitute
the center of the first wheel, and is the pattern by which the spokes of
the first wheel radiate to touch the rim. By grace, part of the
first wheel contains perfected patterns for the manifestation of our needs
and desires. Because of instability in our system of thinking, the spokes
of the second wheel can be out of alignment with the spokes of the first
wheel, our thoughts of ourselves being out of alignment with the Father's
thoughts of us. Doubt, fear, misinterpretations of Truth, lack of spiritual
understanding and general negative thinking account for the instability and
misalignment of the second wheel spokes.
In moments of affirmative meditations and affirmative
contemplations, in conscious agreement with, and thereby, duplication of,
the Word of the Father, we can bring the spokes of the second wheel into
alignment with the spokes of the first wheel. By identifying ourselves with
a selected aspect of the Word of the Father, we can bring a specific spoke
of the Second wheel into alignment with the spoke of the first wheel
representative of the selected aspect. By identifying ourselves with the
whole of the Word of the Father, we bring all of the spokes of the second
wheel into alignment with the corresponding spokes of the first wheel.
This brings the quickening of the manifestation, as experience
at the rim of the wheel, of the perfected patterns established unto
us by the Word of the Father, glory to the Father.
