As renaissance men and women, we use our creative abilities and talents, those that God has vouchsafed unto us long ago and those which we have developed over many life- times to engender this new-age, or new-era, consciousness. The new-era consciousness involves sacred brother/sisterhood, divine love, holy friendships between all peoples. It involves theosophia, which is divine wisdom manifesting through our hearts and minds through the heart-mind connection. It involves co-creativity with God, because we see ourselves as fully Self-realized sons and daughters involved in heaven’s affairs, drawing heaven into earth; manifesting, through those gifts of the Spirit, aspects of the heaven world in the etheric planes, which already exist and which we are consciously seeking to precipitate upon earth through our work, through our service, through all that we do, think, feel, say and accomplish, by God’s grace.

We are renaissance men and women by God’s grace and only by God’s grace. Of ourselves, we can do nothing.¹³ Yet through God’s will and God’s strength, which strengthens us, we can accomplish anything that we set our hearts and minds to, in accord with God’s holy will.
