Product Description

The Venerable One is an initiatory book in which Ann Ree Colton shares the knowledge she received under the loving tutelage of the Venerable One, a holy Master Bodhisattva guru who works mediatively with the angels, Nature, and the inward Masters who initiate man. Ann Ree first encountered the Venerable One in the Great Sierras where she sat on a riverbank in King's Canyon, California. This benign Being walked across the river toward her, and on that day and in times to come, would open to her the Book of Nature. A rich treasury of the author's initiatory understanding, The Venerable One covers such topics as the spiritual functionings of mountains, trees, Nature Spirits, and the elements; the mediative work of the disciple in the city; and initiation within the Masters' Medallion.

From the Inside Flap
The Venerable One is a holy Master Bodhisattva guru who works mediatively with the angels, Nature and the inward Masters to initiate man. He works with all dedicated initiates, disciples, and chelas to prepare them to become co-atom to the Lord Jesus.

The Venerable One - also known in the Higher Worlds as the Father Jupiter - was formerly Diogenes in the time of the Grecian philosophers. He now dwells within the First Heaven with other sacred and holy Beings. The Venerable One is sometimes seen by the disciple in daytime spiritual experience, or in night-flight and dream life. He appears as a benign Being with a glistening white beard - and he holds a white staff. The disciple is aware of his love; he is also aware of an instantaneous reproving and discipline within the holy circumference or Medallion of the Venerable One.

In this initiatory book, the way of the Path is made plain.

About the Author
Ann Ree Colton was born in Atlanta, Georgia on August 17, 1898. Beginning in early childhood, her life bore testimony to her extraordinary spiritual gifts and aptitudes. She began her life as a spiritual teacher in her twenties, and served as a teacher of the higher life for over sixty years. Her spiritual aptitudes were many: she was a prophet, clairvoyant, cosmos disciple, spiritual teacher and healer, author of 23 books on spiritual subjects, lecturer, counselor, creative artisan, and an adept articulate in the inner mysteries.

Ann Ree's teaching and life exemplify the versatile gifts available to the spiritual initiate under Christ. Her legacy includes not only the memory of her magnificently gracious spirit, her personal spiritual attainments, books, and creations, but a path or method known as the system of Niscience, through which sincere seekers on the Path may also recover and increase the treasures of their souls. Ann Ree co-founded the Ann Ree Colton Foundation of Niscience, Inc. with her husband, Jonathan Murro. She passed from the physical world on June 28, 1984.

Ann Ree Colton represented a prototype ahead of her time, a prototype versatile in the gifts of the Spirit, who manifested the inner and outer marriages of East and West, masculine and feminine, science and religion, the practical and the spiritual.

Each tree singeth a note. When the songs of the tress are combined with the wind, this maketh higher harmonies, soothing the souls of men. There are joyous trees, and there are tree sorrow-bearers, such as the pine. Small pines play music to the sound of sensitive heartstrings. Large pines vibrate to the deeper bass clefs of pain.

Mysteries concealed in the familiar
This is one of the most beautifully written books I have read.

The author tells of the deep miracles concealed in Nature hidden from profane eyes; of the profound mysteries glossed over and ignored because of our habituation to the familiar. If we were to actually listen to the voice of Nature with sensitivity and intuition, we are told, we would hear lessons as fine as in any opus spoken with words. Ann Ree Colton wrote, "The smallest cognition of Nature openeth the fiery chain of universal becoming."

Among the many things she tells of are the role of the seasons, spiritual radiations from mountains, correspondences between thoughts and trees, the role of poisonous plants relieving the earth of poisonous emotions, how snow purifies our sight and promotes an intangible agreement between peoples. Another section of the book explains the forces that herd men together in cities, and how tall buildings play a role similar to trees in elevating our vision and aspirations.

I haven't seen anything comparable written in any other book.
