“May you go forth in peace, light and love, and where you go in the light of love and in the shadow of peace, upon the mountain or in the valley, there will I be. Though you go unto the farthest corner of the world, if you but call my name, there will I stand with you. And unto the deepest ocean, there, if you think of me, will I be by your side, for He has promised and I have pledged.” (02/09/74)
“You are not body. You are not mind. You are soul and spirit. Those who seek often are hindered along the pathway by not realizing the true reality of their existence as a spirit and rather think of themselves as mind operating in body. But you are not this. The body is given as a blessing to bear the soul in the earth walk that it might learn.” (03/24/71)
“There is nothing to go forward to if you are unwilling to help build it in the present and for the future.” (10/17/09)
“Each challenge met, each trail overcome, adds strength to the soul.” (05/0 3/86)
“Remember, the Father has put a rainbow in every cloud, and with the light it can be seen.” (06/06/09)
“When you learn acceptability of all things, you cannot help but love all things.” (06/21/71)
“The Great Error and the greatest error that man can perpetuate, is believing that another can bear your pain, bear your suffering, bear your responsibility for you.” (08/24/74)
“In His image were you formed, and then you created the image of the divine according to your conception, according to your ability to see.” (10/21/06)
“The greatest power that we have is that potential that is never utilized.” (05/08/10)
“We are given many gifts of the spirit, but that of love for the other is that that is called the highest.” (11/14/70)
If we would see a mountain before us, one can go around it; one can go up it, to go, perhaps over it. There are many mountains in life, some that seem attainable, some that seem impossible. But all are possible if we climb in faith. (01/18/03)
“We come to appreciate that which is higher by recognizing all that has been to us a footstool.” (03/29/03)
“The progression of the soul depends upon the moment that is at hand, not on that that will come later and not on that that has been, for that that has been in the past cannot be again in the future. There cannot be the returning and there cannot be the going forward, for we live in the eternal moment of now.” (11/14/70)
“You cannot accomplish or manifest anything divine using material means, material beliefs, material concepts, material tools or accessories — or any other fantasy / superstition.” (Date Not Available)

“Each and everything that happens to you and to others comes forth for specific reasons, to teach specific lessons to specific souls asking for these lessons to be revealed within and manifested without. (04/13/71)
“That that we would aspire to is exactly that which we are strong enough to accomplish.” (10/14/09)
“Each thought and word and deed is as a stone cast in a pool that is still. The ripples of each stone reach all shores.” (02/11/72)

TaPa Prayers - THE GREAT INVOCATION
THE GREAT INVOCATION
From the point of Light within the Mind of God
Let light stream forth into the minds of men.
Let Light descend on Earth.
From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let love stream forth into the hearts of men.
May Christ return to Earth.
From the center where the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide the little wills of men —
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.
From the center which we call the race of men
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out.
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.
Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.
TAPA’S MESSAGE ON THE LORD’S PRAYER
© 1972 Timothy L. Smith
OUR FATHER
Our Father, our Mother,
our life itself,
O cosmic Force delivering,
Conjuring,
bequeathing
All Deity, the Most High.
WHO ART IN HEAVEN
That dwellest above the spheres of the lowly
but enters to touch the hearts of the saddened;
that’s haven is far above the spheres of interference,
beyond illusion,
beyond the fields of illusive thinking,
beyond the meadow
where walks man’s negativity.
HALLOWED BE THY NAME
Honored is the call that is the Word,
oh Inner Deity,
that sounds as the Om
in the ear of the hearer.
Great is the call that is the Word
that is Thy name;
and may It reach each
as surely as may and must It reach my soul.
THY KINGDOM COME
May the peace fulfill
within the heart of the highest.
May the sight held within the eyes
of that that sees for the Deity
enter into blessing that I might see.
May that that is be but my eyes
to share it in this place.
That of Your might, may it be my protection;
that of Your kingdom, my homeland.
If my eyes are weak,
bathe them with tears that I might see.
THY WILL BE DONE
That that You desire in my mission, in my way
allow it to be shown as fulfilled;
for surely will I struggle
and do I now.
In me may it be fulfilled
that in others it might be fulfilled
as they see it within me.
UPON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN
Where I stand upon my level of consciousness
and soul edification here in the lowest
may the highest make its presence known.
GIVE US THIS DAY
Lend the opportunity
that one that was silent
might now at seeing be seen.
The day is the opportunity
so lo, may I have it abundantly for once;
and with it the way
to use the opportunity.
OUR DAILY BREAD
The knowledge (is this) that feeds the soul,
as the bread is the staple
and feeds the body.
FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS AS WE FORGIVE THOSE THAT TRESPASS AGAINST US
Take, wound,
that I might be teaching those
that are to be taught
and taught by those that teach
The way, the word, the light and the truth.
For as I have transgressed, show me
that never again that path walk I.
And I will show those that transgress against me
the path they are walking on,
and give them the opportunity
to no longer hurt me
but to bless me as I bless them.
AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL
Tempt not the soul, o Lord.
Let the body be burned and cast aside as ashes.
Let the mind be thrown into tribute.
Tempt the body and the mind that I might learn,
but not the soul;
for the soul is a part of the Om.
FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM
All belongs to the I AM
and the I AM is,
has been,
and shall be.
I was; allow me Father to return
for weary I am,
weak I am,
and desiring to unite again I am.
Thus let me be I AM.
AND THE POWER
Give me strength that I might show
and give me knowledge and energy
that I might return
upon the wings of the lighted falcon
to be the I AM.
AND THE GLORY
Shine in me, Light of all years,
that others might see a glow
and question how I came by it.
FOREVER
Now and till I return may it be;
and if fulfilled in me
then may others draw
from the fulfillment.
