The Awakening Tiger
"Humanity is taking a forward step from the cradle stories of the former generations, and their creations are no longer of any avail to the arisen individuality and spiritual discernment of the consciousness of the generation that is fast approaching. Delusions, traditions, and superstitions are nearing the end. It is also true of the civilization which they established. The old idols are good enough for the infantile consciousness that is nearing an impasse. Their delusion has caused their undoing as they are proved to be only cradle stories woven by master craft of priesthood and preceptor, to lull into false sleep the crying infants of an evolving race. Those who saw farther afield did not cry and thus were not lulled to sleep.
Most of them saw that the cradle stories were not true and many stepped boldly forth to erase the untruth; as they saw directly through to the Absolute, that which has always existed, and which has always been seen and known and contacted directly by a portion of mankind. From this portion, there will arise a new and more vitalizing consciousness, fully awake and ready to erase the idols that man has set up for his fellow man to follow and make room for the new ideals which are as old as creation's dawn.These will demand of those who teach, lead or inspire the race consciousness that they shall do it from a plane of actual living contact, so high that there can be no mistake or contradiction, and on a plane of interpretation that is so simple that it cannot be misunderstood.
The awakening tiger of higher intelligence and spirituality will refuse to sleep again, as it is already ravaged with the fragments of the past and disappointed with the torture of misplaced confidence. It will demand a stronger and more vital thought with instructions based upon Truth itself.The multitudes are now listening, over the heads of the past centuries with their creed bound traditions, to the old, old message that to the newly born is working its unfoldment into the hearts and lives of mankind. This new old message is the clarion call that is heard above the changing voices of creed bound priesthood. It is louder than the voice of battle; it is louder and clearer than the muffled contradictions of financial, industrail, political, and religious lies.
