You have wandered far and wide and you have seen with your physical eye the beauteous and glorious things of nature, and you appreciate and thank God for this world of yours which is undoubtedly a very beautiful place.
But again we tell you that all these things were created for man, because men in the very essence of the Father. And it is with great joy that we come to you who are ready and waiting for our coming. And we say unto you that all the beauty that this world of yours han to offer is nothing in comparison to the beauty which you have created through your endeavour to live aright and to tune in to reality, to truth, and to love. And this which you have taken unto yourself, through your own endeavours, through your own experiences, is something far greater and far more powerful, than anything you have yet known, anything you have heard or seen.
And you will be able to lead others from the dark places, even as you stand and admire all the beauteous things of nature on your plane, and you are filled at these same times with love and appreciation, and you thank God from the bottom of your heart for these natural and lovely things. The time will come when you will come face to face with those of God's children who you have led, through your pure thinking, through your hard life, through your faith and your prayers. You will meet those who through these Spiritual things, you have led from the darkness into the light.
And they will be as grateful for that light and love which you have set before them, as you are for the things which you thank your Father for.
And we would remind you that nothing is new under the sun, and that all these things have always been for those who would but search for them. If you would have the beautiful panorama, if you would see that laid out before you which is green and lush and lovely, then you must climb, then you must make the effort to reach that vantage point on which you can stand to survey the beauteous things around you. And if you would bring up from the very depths those who have not sought, or perhaps for a thousand different reasons, have not been able to find. Then you have to climb up, as it were, to the Spiritual heights and raise your whole being to that vantage point in Spirit, to a higher state of mind, so that you can Look upend around and see the truth, so that you can understand why there must be clouds and darkness betimes, and the cruel frosts, and the darker side of nature, of the elements of nature. So must you realise that the bitter experiences of the past, the frightening episodes in your lives, the things which you felt you could not overcome.
And yet you stand now, as a mountaineer, high up, and can look down upon the clouds, can look down on the valley beneath, and see all things clearly. So can you, on this higher level of being, this higher state of mind, look down and round about you, and realise that that crag down below, that experience which seemed to torture you so at the time, was but & stepping stone to the higher places to the higher places of your mind.
And so we repeat, that all things upon the Earth, all the beautiful and lovely things are but a reflection of the true and of the real. And the things in your mind which create, which bring forth good and lovely thoughts, are treasures, are of great beauty and of great power. And even as the gentle rain brings forth fruits and flowers, so do these higher thoughts bring forth in other minds, light.
You help people to forget darkness, you heal and bring comfort and the day will come, the time will come, when you will stretch forth your hands to reach these who would have stayed in the darker places, whose minds would have remained infertile, unproductive, if these Spiritual thoughts of yours had not found an entry.
And so we ask you to look about you and to see that which your Father has created for your pleasure upon the Earth, and remembering at all times that it is but a reflection. And that if you can see beauty, and create beauty, and appreciate beauty, then shalt thou see with clear Spiritual vision the pure and lovely things of the Spirit.
And we would remind you that for many, many years, for past ages, which you have forgotten, we have known each other and worked together for this very end. That you shall be in a body of flesh and yet the Spirit shall be free to soar above that place where your body must remain. And to reach the highest peaks, and to see and understand the things which other eyes do not even look for. And it is this longing which has beset you in times past, for the higher, for the better, for the purer, that made you feel that you so belonged in the high places of the Earth's plane. When you rested upon the mountain side, and you felt your soul soar to other spheres of light and love. It is because you had attained the physical climb, you had reached a point of almost perfection upon the Earth's plane, but you know in your heart there were other spheres, other places, especially for you, right there in your own mind. And we thank God that you were not satisfied with just the physical beauty but you desired that of the Spirit that you climbed not only the high places in your beloved part of the Earth world, but that you set yourself the task of climbing and leaving the reflection and finding the true and the real.
And now the time has come when you can sit in your humble Earthly abode, away from the mountains, may from the lakes, and yet feel a beauty, a serenity in your own heart. You can stand upon the peaks of your mind and see with clear vision those in the valley below who need your help, your advice and your vision, and your quiet understanding. Surely you have made the journey, surely you are satisfied, not only with what you have attained through the physical body but also through the mind, through the Spirit and even now there are several Earth people who, before you pass on, will realise and try to take the same path. And each one of these little ones who listen to your words of wisdom will also shine in their own time and lift up, into the higher states of mind those who would never have found the foothold.
Mary, I wait for you. But I am not impatient. For all eternity is before us. And even we, dear child, my ward and charge, have much to learn. But we will learn it, we will discover it, together. Be at peace.
This transcript uses Mary's own lifelong love of mountains as its central, personal image, given a direct spiritual counterpart: earthly climbing, the physical effort of reaching a vantage point where "clouds and darkness" below become visible and understood from above, mirrors exactly the inner climb toward a higher state of mind, where past suffering and fear likewise resolve into "but a stepping stone to the higher places." The transcript is explicit this isn't a loose metaphor but a genuine reflection — physical mountains valued specifically because they trained the same longing that eventually turned inward.
Its central claim is that this physical longing for high, quiet places was never separate from the spiritual search — it's named as the same desire wearing an earlier form: "it is this longing which has beset you in times past, for the higher, for the better, for the purer, that made you feel that you so belonged in the high places." Reaching a literal mountain's peak becomes, in retrospect, training for reaching the peak of one's own mind — one preparing directly for the other rather than merely resembling it.
Its promise for what remains of Mary's life addresses physical limitation without denying it: though confined now to "your humble Earthly abode, away from the mountains, away from the lakes," the same clear vantage point remains fully available inwardly — "you can stand upon the peaks of your mind and see... those in the valley below who need your help." The mountain hasn't been lost; only its physical form has, the seeing itself undiminished.
Its closing note is unusually personal and unhurried: "I wait for you. But I am not impatient. For all eternity is before us" — no urgency toward the ending, and a quiet admission that the guide, too, has "much to learn," the whole relationship framed as ongoing discovery shared between two, rather than a finished teacher instructing a finished pupil.
