My phrasing of this would be: `Tis hope that constantly keeps our hearts sweet; `tis sweet, `tis sweet to hope for constancy. Yes, it is true that "you never miss the water till the well runs dry." {1} (Perhaps some of you have thought on this a little recently since our weekly release to you of the living water of our instruction has been delayed.) The constancy of an ever-flowing spring is a blessed comfort to the thirsty traveler. And every one of you has been given opportunity by the great Karmic Board and your own Lord of Love, your own individualized I AM Presence, to fill a place of divine service to life. Now, my constant hope is great, some think too great; for it is my hope that in every place where we see the requirement for a constant server, there will we find one of you. This activity is intended to practically assist the earnest seeker after Truth as well as the dedicated server thereof. It is a channel and way by which the higher hopes of heaven may be communicated to those of earth. It is also an invisible (to the human) temple of Light and Love from which we of the ascended host may release to you God-wisdom from above in a cooperative endeavor to assist you in reaching up to us and our Light through the veil of maya. Thus will our combined energies find firm anchorage in the human realm and thus can we help you and all who will heed our words to avoid many of the pitfalls of human experience. Such help from us lovingly accepted by you will speed your spiritual evolution so that you will avoid much suffering. So too shall we gather the sheaves of works well done into God's storehouse of Love, offering them as our combined gifts to the Lord of the harvest. When one extracts from a wounded animal a thorn which has been causing that life distress, certainly it is not necessary to instruct the beneficiary of your service in the art of surgery. However, when a conscious chela comes to us seeking relief and release from his human distresses, requesting help for his spiritual advancement and desiring to serve his own God Presence I AM and us, it becomes a necessary service and a great joy to us to give him of our wisdom. This wisdom, of course, was finally attained by us when before our ascension we victoriously passed through the fires of human suffering as well as through the rhythmic practice of sublime attunement with our God Source during countless periods of meditation and contemplation upon his glory which is revealed in the very starry heavens themselves. In this way, as we reveal to the chela the ways and means of our own attainment, the chela becomes fully equipped by such knowledge with the practical means to help himself and others. Now, sweet and gracious reader, dream on if you will of fanciful physical journeys to our feet, seeing yourselves encamped with a little band in some exotic place in Tibet or India where you expect to hear the great word of initiation which many men suppose will set them free from every burden, instantly and magically. However, I assure you that in reality when with a constant heart you camp with us right where you are - listening to our loving guidance which we daily reveal to ears that are attuned to the arisen host, as we express our love through you to your fellowman - your visits to our campfires will be much more real and practical in their blessings than would be the mere glamour of physical travel. Remember, wherever you are, I AM. As you know, even with the comfort of air-conditioning in modern conveyances, physical travel can be wearying to the body and spirit not yet illumined by the selfless torch of sincerity and constancy in service. I trust you will forgive the delays which have occurred in the sending of our instruction to you recently, and I know this did not mean that you discontinued your endeavors to perfect your "invisible" attunement with your own beloved I AM Presence and us. Only by holding firmly to the hand of God, your own I AM Presence, and the ascended host in times of Darkness as well as in times of Light can you ever find the way, the Middle Way, which the beloved Gautama lived. Walking this Middle Way, one does not become so humble that he is subservient nor so exalted that he becomes blasphemous. In practicing the living of the Middle Way will you find full solace; for it brings the God-comfort of peace as you consciously, by the use of the violet transmuting flame, still the voices of vain desires. From the Darjeeling and the Himalayan temples there come to you now protective and healing currents as well as the sweet fragrance of flowers and cedarwood. And last but not least, through our divine friendship comes this missive of goodwill, God's will, to you! Your Obedient Servant - MORYA EL Note: This blessing of the Ascended Masters' love is an expression of their desire to help you all the rest of your way Home. It is offered to you, gracious reader, as one who is sincerely interested in receiving such help. However, we who abide in this physical world and benefit from their service must bear the costs of paper, postage, and printing. As a grateful reader you are privileged to help in this regard according to the dictates of your own heart. According to cosmic law, which never changes, there must always be the balance of giving and receiving. And when a love gift is given to so assist in expanding the Masters' activities, the chela thus honorably balances his account with life. ****** Chapter 2 Beloved Saint Germain - August 22, 1958 - "I Offer You My Victorious Momentum of the Ages in the Use of the Freedom Flame" ****** Vol. 1 No. 2 - Beloved Saint Germain - August 22, 1958 THE SUMMIT LIGHTHOUSE OF FREEDOM Charges Forth Its Radiant Beams Which Manifest as PEARLS OF WISDOM To Our Gracious Readers, Dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - "I Offer You My Victorious Momentum of the Ages in the Use of the Freedom Flame" To All Who Embrace the Spirit of Non-Condemnation in Morya's Name, As you know, dear ladies and gentlemen, the various expressions of Life are infinite in their manifestations above and below. Unfortunately for all concerned, all too many of those which manifest in this appearance world are totally unlike their original divine pattern of perfection. It has been said that those who live in glass houses should throw no stones. {2} And yet since so very few unascended beings are wholly without fault or shadow of a discordant nature, do they not all alike live in glass houses and are they not all throwing stones, at least of thought and feeling, when they look disapprovingly upon another whose way of living seems foreign to the observer? For just a few moments here and now while I have your gracious attention upon me and my words, may I very gently reveal to you the Ascended Masters' feelings concerning all life, especially that which seems so completely bound by unhappy human creation? The burden and stigma of illegitimacy has fallen upon many a beautiful soul born into this world to those who have not taken the vows of wedlock and who thereby have had called down upon their beings the terrible scorn of a "righteous" society. Because of this, many of you have doubtless known of individuals who were actually ashamed of their own mother or perhaps of both parents. In the embodiment of Francis Bacon, I was born with this stigma. And there have been those who felt the beloved Jesus of Nazareth to have been improperly born in his last earth life, that is, according to their sense of rightness.{3} Now, gracious reader, let me here joyously assure you that no ascended being (lady master or gentleman of heaven's court) will ever point a finger at another with feelings of blame, disapproval, or scorn or ever even indicate to another by tone of voice which makes its hearers cringe that any individual from any expression of life is either lowborn or of a lower state of social equality than anyone else. Consider the ever-living words spoken concerning our beloved Mother Mary in the Magnificat which say, "He hath put down the mighty from their seats and exalted them of low degree."{4} Today there is a great need for more tolerant understanding and appreciation of, as well as sincere gratitude and reverence for, life itself (all of which is God's life, no matter in what form it may be expressing), not only among people in various walks of life but even among our own beloved chelas themselves. These virtues are particularly necessary to be personally cultivated now by those who offer themselves as "Lighthouse keepers" in this illumining activity of my illustrious and beloved brother El Morya. So I speak to you thus today in the hope that you will not only be interested in my words but that they will inspire you to daily cultivate more and more these Ascended Master virtues of perfection which you so admire in us. Such a personal cultivation of these virtues will prepare you much more quickly to receive a spiritual visit from myself and others of the ascended host, for thus would you make of your world a much more comfortable place into which we could enter as your divine guest or guests. For surely our chelas should not abide within an aura in which thoughts, feelings, spoken words, and deeds of cruelty, hurt to life, hard and unforgiving feelings are allowed to generate and live. Of course, all of us in our octave live only for the joy of serving life everywhere and setting it completely and eternally free from every shadow. We love to have you call us by name, for that assures us of your faith in our reality and our willing ability to accomplish that which you know needs to be done for the greater freedom of life. Be assured that we instantly answer every such call made in earnest sincerity to us in the name and authority of the source of all life, the beloved I AM Presence. Such calls give us greater freedom to act in your human world of affairs, for we must have your calls as our authority to act here. You see, we have victoriously passed through every human experience, finally obeying the divine command to "Come up higher! Here abide always and go out no more!" However, such calling into action of our power in supplication or decree is not nearly so efficacious in the drawing of our personal radiation of love into your worlds and those of others whom you wish to help as is the practicing in daily living of the supreme God-qualities of courtliness, gentleness, purity, and forgiving love. This way of life I endeavored to establish among the crowned heads of Europe and their courts some time ago, particularly in the court of France in the days when even after my ascension I worked from my home in Transylvania. O gracious reader, learn sincerely to reverence the very presence of Life right within your own beating heart, for it is really the living presence of Almighty God within you! This constancy of "practicing the presence of God," as that habit gathers momentum in your world and experience, will soon completely surround and actually seal you within an aura of grace, beauty, protection, wisdom, and the victorious power of Divine Love in all you undertake. These qualities will saturate all your activities, making your service acceptable to your own God Presence. Such a qualification of your own life, which you may make, will be lovingly stored by that Great God Presence within your causal body, which is the storehouse of the good works of your service of all ages. This abides around your beloved I AM Presence in its octave of expression. And into that octave you shall one day rise when you shall have purified, loved, and served enough. And that Presence will say to you: "It is finished! Come up higher!" Thus is the ascension individually attained. I am grateful indeed for your gratitude and reverence for my words to you today. They are given to you so lovingly and freely for your comfort, illumination, and peace. I AM the flame of freedom itself in action now in my Ascended Master estate, and I now offer to you the full-gathered momentum of my lifestream's victorious use of that flame all through the ages. Call that freedom flame, that violet transmuting flame, into action every day without fail and accept thereby all it can do for you. Add to its power all my feeling of its instantaneous action and full adequacy to fill every human need. Opportunity is now knocking at the door of your consciousness as I offer to you my victorious momentum of the ages in the use of the freedom flame. I offer it now so freely, so lovingly and hopefully, and remain Your Eternal Friend of changeless Love, Light, and Truth - The Ascended Master Saint Germain This instruction comes to you through the loving courtesy of the Ascended Masters' Darjeeling, India, Council. Note: Sincere and loving chelas often ask, "If the Ascended Masters are all of God's opulence, as we know they are, and never charge for their instruction, why is it necessary for me to give a love gift to sustain and expand their work? Why do they not supply this money themselves?" This is a good question, but we are sure you will all see the reason when we explain. Our beloved Serapis Bey gave us the answer to this some time ago, saying, "The cosmic law allows the Ascended Masters to give of their great love, illumination, healing power, etc., to the seeking chela as their gift from their side of Life, but it will not allow the Master to precipitate funds for the dissemination of these blessings in this octave. Since the Great Law of Life demands and holds perfect balance of all energies at all times, in the case of disseminating the Masters' instruction the balance is made by the chela in this octave when he gives of that which he has, just as the Master has first given of his gifts." Do you see? Therefore we know that everyone who benefits by the Ascended Master Light is so willing to give of that which he has, small though it may be, to further the service of God's will. ****** Chapter 3 Maha Chohan - August 29, 1958 - The Flame of the Holy Comforter ****** Vol. 1 No. 3 - Maha Chohan - August 29, 1958 THE SUMMIT LIGHTHOUSE OF FREEDOM Charges Forth Herewith Its Radiant Beams Which Manifest As "PEARLS OF WISDOM" To All Who Would Receive the Flame of the Holy Comforter, Fair indeed is the countenance of a small child, which still carries the imprint of the beautiful innocence of heaven. Now, this sweet innocence which is the consciousness of the babe in arms is a very natural gift to you from your own Holy Christ Self. This Christ Self of you is the one about whom the psalmist spoke when he said, "He that keepeth Israel [that which is real about you] shall neither slumber nor sleep."{5} This Divine Self of you stands as your guardian presence all through your many embodiments on this earth, during which you have manifested various expressions of personality. This Christ Self intensifies its interest and service to your outer self once you have become illumined enough to recognize and accept and begin to serve your own beloved I AM Presence. The I AM Presence is the Source of your being, whose life your Holy Christ Self is releasing to you every passing moment. It is this life that gives your physical heart the rhythm and energy of beating. When this Holy Christ Self (with the Father and the Holy Spirit) endowed you with the most precious of all God-gifts, life itself (for all life is the life of God Almighty, our heavenly Father), he gave you the kingly power of the actual Presence of God in you. With that gift came the boon of opportunity to expand your spiritual light through the use of a physical body on earth in which you could learn the God-way to live with others of his family and household. No one can give that which he does not have. Every gift that one gives is that which is a part of his world and is thus qualified with his nature. So since it is the nature of the Holy Christ Self to express heaven's nature, it holds the lovely patterns of innocence and sweetness for the lifestream it guards as well as those gentle qualities with which all newborn life comes into the world, causing men to comment so often upon the sweetness of childhood. However, even though possessed of this God-gift of beauty and innocence, as the little ego comes into a physical body and begins to make its mark upon the screen of life, how quickly is that sweet innocence marred and sometimes seems to disappear completely, only to be replaced by the thoughts, feelings, spoken words and deeds of personal possessiveness, harshness and disrespect. These qualities the little ego soon learns to express by watching the family with which it is associated and those who contact its little world and by absorbing the discordant radiation constantly thrown off by others into the atmosphere and into the environment in which the child lives. Then all the beauty, innocence and sweetness of the presence of God, which in the very early years were held about that little form by the very angels themselves, seem tossed to the winds. So quickly is heaven's birthright exchanged here for the comforts (questionable though the full meaning of that word used here may be) of the satisfactions and pleasures of the physical senses. The dominance of everyday living, which keeps the attention of the individual so much upon the things and needs of this world, so soon closes the door to the spirit of childhood and innocent consciousness. When such a change in the child consciousness takes place, as you all know, then certain of the unfortunate habits and accumulations of energy from past embodiments and past momentums of thought, feeling, spoken word and deed of that lifestream begin to bare their fangs, teeth and claws. When a lifestream stands before the great Karmic Board requesting physical embodiment, it is I who give holy consent and assent to each one to receive the grant of another physical embodiment on earth. Without such assent from myself and therewith the promise that into the physical form which they will inhabit I would breathe the very breath of Life, no physical form could possibly exist here and all incoming bodies would be stillborn. Is it not quite reasonable, then, and understandable, too, that I should be so interested and sincerely concerned about the protection and sustenance of the spiritual welfare of every soul I sponsor? Beloved ones, did you ever think of the tremendous gratitude each of you who is breathing the breath of Life in embodiment today should feel toward your own God Presence and those of the Great White Brotherhood who have made it possible for you to so experience life here at this very moment - particularly when in order to give you the grant of a body two others had to be denied and wait in the inner realms another whole year before obtaining a physical form to wear through which they could work out their karmas of the past? Think on this! In recent talks with the beloved Kuthumi, he and I have discussed the great need for, as well as ways and means of, keeping the sweet, innocent child-nature alive within the hearts of the incoming children and younger generation as they progress into the mature experiences of manhood and womanhood. Surely you all remember our beloved brother Jesus' statement, "Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven."{6} This statement embodies real truth. Now, naturally every sincere and loving parent will want to educate his child in the wisest way possible, fitting him to fill the best possible place among his fellowmen, enabling him to live a rich, full and happy life. So in this way is the outer consciousness cared for and expanded. But what about the soul? When I look upon young people and see the physical body growing straight and tall while the spirit within remains small and shrunken, it is always a cause of regret to me, one which quite naturally, however, is mitigated in part at least by my knowing the inner perfection of the Presence of God within each one, that glorious victorious threefold flame of eternal Truth within. Of course, I know for a certainty that one sweet day the Holy Christ Self within that flame will be given opportunity to announce its presence; and within one split second, as you sometimes say, can that Christ Self arise within the expanding threefold flame and take complete possession of that outer ego, hold dominion there and expand perfection from that moment henceforth in the fulfillment of the divine plan of that lifestream. Now, turning my attention to you, gracious reader, to you who are full-grown physically, may I say that I would so love to fan the flame of the Holy Spirit into a blazing fire in, through and around you, restoring eternal youth and beauty to these very forms which you wear, regardless of your present accumulation of years which men call age. You see, as you fulfill your part of the divine plan by endeavoring to help others expand their light and be free from human distresses, the Great Law permits me to help you. Such help is the releasing of my very nature of loving comfort to you, which contains every God-gift of perfection, of which eternal youth and beauty are a part. To give such help is my reason for being, and my joyous desire to assist you. The glorious God Presence who created me has given me this service to render, and as a humble servant of the Most High it is my joy to obey. Now, without the conscious cooperation of your good selves I must live only in the hope that someday, somehow, I shall have opportunity to give you my help. However, when you do consciously cooperate with the Law of Life and make the call directly to me, calling me by name and asking me to help you expand your soul-light, it is impossible for me to fail to answer you! Right here and now, put from your minds even the thought that I either could or would fail you! Of course, since you are as yet unascended I cannot promise you that because you do so call to me, a wholly free and ascended being, your call will instantly and forever relieve you of ever again experiencing unpleasantness. Tests of the strength of your light must come to you through certain daily experiences, but pass them victoriously by calling forth the Light both of your own beloved I AM Presence and of ourselves. The Great Law will permit us to help you by holding the faith for you in the reality and power of your own God Presence until you can obtain your own personal anchorage in that I AM Presence. With our conscious help you can pass your tests much more quickly and victoriously than you could alone. Thus you will shorten the days of your human distresses. Now to those of you who really believe in the reality of my Presence I speak: Let us now prove to the world at large, to all who look upon you, that eternal youth and beauty are the natural and practical manifestations of the Great Law of Life. Let me fan the sacred fire within each of you into a living flame which will produce through you here and now these qualities which you so desire. Give me daily opportunity so to do by calling to me for this purpose. In some I see that the dying embers of this sacred fire cause them to fear the appearances of distress which come with advancing age. Now let me awaken in you the eternal beauty and perfection of your own God-nature, that of everlasting Life. For by the gathered momentums of your daily calls to me to this end, you can build around yourselves the Flame of the Holy Comforter. Then you may be my arms of comfort to another, perhaps one whose face is unfamiliar outwardly to you but yet is very fondly familiar to us and to the Holy Christ Self of all! Hopefully awaiting your call to me - I AM The Maha Chohan the embodiment of the Holy Spirit to this earth, This instruction comes to you through the loving courtesy of the Ascended Masters' Darjeeling, India, Council. ****** Chapter 4 El Morya - September 5, 1958 - A Simple Daily Call to Me for Your Divine Plan ****** Vol. 1 No. 4 - El Morya - September 5, 1958 THE SUMMIT LIGHTHOUSE OF FREEDOM Charges Forth Herewith Its Radiant Beams Which Manifest As "PEARLS OF WISDOM" A Simple Daily Call to Me for Your Divine Plan To the Hare and the Tortoises Who Get There - May You All Win in the Next Round! The slogan "slow but sure" certainly is not always true, for comparatively few lifestreams unascended quickly respond to a need for action at just the moment it is needed; and it seems to take them time to make up their minds to serve a cause, even though that cause be a very good one. Then sometimes even more time is consumed in getting ready to serve, getting the affairs of their world in order so that they may proceed to the doing of the task at hand. Then there are the people who are always beginning something, always wishing and hoping for success in their undertakings but never seeming to be able to summon into sufficiently powerful action the will required to stay with and complete the desired service. The attention of such people is too much fixed upon the appearance world and its ever-changing forms. Therefore without someone being aware of the existence of those God-ideas which would give greater assistance to mankind from our octave, and without someone placing his attention upon them in order to bring them into fulfillment, those magnificent patterns of perfection which could bring such help and comfort to mankind remain in our octave as but holy "thoughtforms" of light. These thoughtforms are God-ideas of things and conditions which are awaiting externalization in this world of form, waiting until some interested lifestream seizes the divinely qualified energy embodied therein and breathes the love of God into it by a living demand and act of faith to bring it into the outer, visibly and tangibly manifest here. I AM the Chohan (Lord) of the First Ray and my activity concerns the bringing into visible, tangible, and practical manifestation right here the will of Good for the planet earth and all her evolutions. Believe me, dear hearts, when I say that most people who hear of me for the first time (and, alas, some who have heard of me many times!) regard me as some mystical being in a fairy tale who for fancy's sake alone they hope exists. However, in their hearts they secretly question my reality. Now, many of you know that I am a real, living, vibrant being of Divine Love and Light who when in embodiment in similar situations to yours today, before my ascension, once faced the same kinds of conditions and feelings of joy and sorrow which some of you are facing. When I finally made my ascension into the realm of the ascended host (in 1898), that victory was accomplished only after I had fully repaid all my karmic debts to life through service rendered by drawing forth the full purity and power of my own beloved I AM Presence. This I AM Presence is the only Light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world and it is the Beloved One who lights everyone's way all the way "Home" to the realms of eternal Life. This fulfillment of all my long-awaited hopes came about only after I had consciously united myself with that ever-loving and enfolding God Presence which I AM. When such a union of my inner and outer consciousness took place in the victory of my ascension, it did not mean that I ceased to be. Rather, my consciousness merged completely with my own God Self. Thus I attained my eternal liberation from all things human in its boundlessness of Divine Love, Wisdom, and Power. This divine being of Light and Love of which I have now become a part - and which I AM - radiates forth constant grace and much silent help to this entire planet and all its evolutions, of which you are presently a part. Although invisible to the physical sight of unascended mankind, I am indeed a divine friend to all life, one wholly free from all human limitations and distresses. These I learned victoriously to master while here in embodiment by the use of the selfsame laws which you are being taught today. Now, if you will accept it, I constantly offer loving help to all, particularly to everyone who will consciously accept my reality and call to me. Would you like to have my loving and willing help to enable you, too, to be free more quickly from everything human and to be able to abide in this realm with me, beloved Saint Germain, Jesus, and many, many more of your divine friends and loved ones of the past? Then make a simple daily call to me in the name of your own beloved I AM Presence - and be faithful in the daily giving thereof - asking me to help you externalize right here in your daily living your own individual divine plan, which is the will of God for you. Such calls, faithfully offered up, will open the doors of your world wider and wider each day to a bit of heaven manifesting in your world and thus increase the scope of your loving service to all. Thus will you be giving obedience to that part of the cosmic law which is so powerfully expressed in the Lord's Prayer as "Thy will be done on earth." Your decree could be something like this: Beloved Mighty Victorious Presence of God I AM in me and beloved Ascended Master Morya, help me and all sons and daughters of God today and always to so live and bless Life that we easily, quickly, and perfectly fulfill the Divine Plan of our lifestreams, - which is the doing of God's holy will. I consciously and gratefully accept your assistance to this end. If you will make this call for yourself and your own world, you can and will be freed from the disease of delay, the regretful procrastination of the human. Then, because all Life is one, as a few lifestreams begin to make the call and faithfully continue so to do, the radiance of their faith will expand and expand until more and more lifestreams will avail themselves of this tremendous help now being offered. Mankind are living in times when unusual opportunities for their freedom are at hand. Wise is he who takes full advantage. Hopefully awaiting your daily calls, I remain - Your obedient servant - EL MORYA KHAN This instruction comes to you through the loving courtesy of the Ascended Masters' Darjeeling, India, Council. Food for thought from Edwin Markham's poem: "Go! Give to the poor sweet Charity's bread - For living is giving" - the Angel said. "O - must I be giving again and again?" (the weary, wondering answer came!) "O, no!" said the Angel piercing me through - "Just give 'til the Master stops giving to you!" ****** Chapter 5 Mother Mary - September 12, 1958 - Your Attention upon Us Is an Open Door ****** Vol. 1 No. 5 - Mother Mary - September 12, 1958 THE SUMMIT LIGHTHOUSE OF FREEDOM Charges Forth Herewith Its Radiant Beams Which Manifest As "PEARLS OF WISDOM" To Our Gracious Readers, Dedicated to Love's Service the World Around: Your Attention upon Us Is an Open Door We offer you this week a very precious release from our beloved Mary, Mother of Jesus, who will flood your worlds with her loving help for your every need if you will but give her a few minutes of your attention - faithfully, mind you - at about the same time each day. My Beloved Children Who Are So Dear to My Heart, The worded expression "so dear to my heart" can but very dimly describe the God-Love I feel for every one of you and all of earth's children. That Divine Love is an actual luminous essence and tangible substance which I can and shall flood in, through and around you, if you will accept it, to make all the rest of your earthly way so much easier and happier. You see, your attention upon us is an open door to us through which our Light and Love may enter your consciousness. Without this open door we can do but little for you. As you know, I am a God Mother to the people of earth; and so, as all good mothers do, I constantly endeavor to teach my children the God-way of life by impressing upon the consciousness of all who will give me the opportunity the importance of acknowledging, developing and expressing that personal, as well as impersonal, Divine Love of God to their fellowman in all their activities. Only thus can their human miseries cease to torment them; for those miseries are but the constant recoil of their thoughts, feelings, spoken words and acts previously sent forth which have been less than love. My earnest hopes to see all evolving upon this dear earth eternally united in the feeling of Divine Love have often been seemingly dashed to pieces. Yet those appearances have been, are now and ever shall be completely without power to affect the immaculate concept of perfection which I hold for earth's people and which I myself have actually become through my ascension. As long as there is one unascended lifestream belonging to earth's evolutions, the flame of my vigil shall burn and I shall pray that the hearts of mankind everywhere will open wider to the flow and expansion of that glorious feeling of the love of Almighty God. For this Divine Love and the feeling thereof is actually anchored within them through the threefold flame, giving them their very life. Such an acceptance of the presence and expansion of God's love by the children of the Light would allow more of my grace to flow through them in the daily expressions of their outer selves. Everyone who will hold a regular vigil with me throughout the night of distressing human appearances will help me to form a sanctuary of Divine Love right here in earth's atmosphere. The radiation of this sanctuary will be very, very effective in removing the causes and cores of physical pain and human suffering of every kind the world around. Remember, Elijah's solitary prayer caused the withholding of rain for three years over an entire land, and later the prophet's prayer brought the refreshing downpour of rain upon that parched ground. {7} Will you help me in my endeavors to expand this blessing of Divine Love to all life here? Will you faithfully pray with me, decreeing daily that our beloved heavenly Father will release all that is necessary to bring the quick awakening to mankind that only Divine Love can perfect their worlds. When they make Divine Love the foundation of all their activities it will stop the constant karmic recoil of their own life's energies that they have sent forth as human feelings of anger, irritation, resentment and other forms of hatred, whose names are legion. You see, the Law of Life is a circle. And that which is sent out must come back to the sender, always with accumulated energy. This is an unchangeable law of the universe and one which so few people are willing to accept: "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap"!{8} Do you know the true definition of Divine Love? It is personal and impersonal friendship and universal, yet individual, kindness expressed all ways to all life. My beloved Saint Germain (who in the time of our beloved Jesus was in embodiment as Joseph) is in these latter days of the age of Pisces powerfully charging forth into, through and around the earth and its people his violet transmuting flame - his heart flame of forgiveness and mercy. This flame when invoked by you will purify and refresh the parched and barren ground of human consciousness. My beloved ones, do you know that knowledge unused passes from the mind? Therefore may I offer the very gentle suggestion that you endeavor to read these precious Pearls of Wisdom at least once every day of the week you receive them, also endeavoring to incorporate their instruction into all you do. Just to intellectually enjoy them is pleasant, of course, but it is not enough if you are to get from them the real blessings of discipleship through the Sacred Heart of Jesus which we intend for you. I know that when you understand just how much we can do for you, each one of you will cooperate with us in our earnest desire for your quick freedom. Dear heart-children, your heavenly God Parents now see in you the manifestation of God's perfect Love; and as you faithfully endeavor to release and expand that Love to your fellowman, you shall one day become the fullness of that Love in your ascension, even as we have. May that day come quickly! Radiantly yours, I AM The Ascended Lady Master Mother Mary This instruction comes to you through the loving courtesy of the Ascended Masters' Darjeeling, India, Council. Note: Gracious reader, will you please accept the loving, sincere gratitude of every one of our (as yet) small staff of the Lighthouse of Freedom for your interest in and quick expansion of the Light of God that never fails. Thank you for accepting our humble endeavors with such gratitude and grace. Your many expressions of gratitude encourage us to keep on keeping on, endeavoring to be of greater service to your Light, of which we are your humble servants. The Lighthouse Staff.

Gentle Heart-Children Moving Toward the Example of the Masterful Christ Self in Action, May you soon learn the gentle art of beholding in all things the mighty God Presence which I AM instead of gazing spellbound at the fabric of life until you have lost sight of the Great God Source. It is this Presence that spreads the comfort of God-illumination over everything and makes known especially to kind hearts the hidden things of Life that are concealed from the seemingly wise and falsely prudent but are revealed to the pure in heart. There is a secret touchstone of power by which the very elements themselves - the air, the water, the earth, and the fire - can be commanded. Now I am only hinting at this secret of Nature's alchemy but in the seventh age this mighty God-power shall be revealed to those who will look to their Source for all things. Ladies and gentlemen, your Presence is the God-control of every situation, but the selfish tyrant of the human ego has through pride and foolishness wrested from man his natural birthright of God-Self control through God-harmony. I AM therefore calling in God's holy name for the quick restoration to each one of you of the God-free estate which you knew before the world was. Then shall you be giving the full God-control of your being to the victorious Light itself. This is the rightful, lawful return to your own God Presence I AM of Life's (God's) dominion over your soul. This Presence is the Master of all energy flowing forth from you, assuring you God-victory in all you do. When every living soul enthrones the immortal threefold flame within his heart, Truth shall walk the earth. Then will it truly be said: Not I, but the "I AM" liveth in me, radiating forth its limitless Light everywhere to expand the borders of God's kingdom until mankind's destructive tendencies no longer appear on the screen of life. In that day the seventh age will be at its zenith, the sun of Aquarius blazing at its noonday. Then the twin hands of the living God, which are Life and Light, propelled by the energies of his heart (which themselves are Love) shall complete their acts of grace as Mercy and Justice, nobly manifesting through the gifts of the violet fire. Then shall the I AM Presence bestow upon the brow of each one of you a crown of brilliant gold equal to our own. You shall wear this crown eternally side by side with the Ascended Masters of God's court. The time has come for the noble and judicious use of the Light to be revealed both scientifically and spiritually to the sons and daughters of God so that a quick outer manifestation of universal God-Freedom may occur right here in this physical appearance world. Then shall you no longer be expressing the consciousness of children, babes in the woods (of human creation), but you will be a true example of the masterful Christ Self in outer physical action! Such an example will cause men and women who are presently enamored of the glamour of the outer appearance world to turn to the Almighty, the loving, ever-living Presence of their own God Self which I AM - Graciously expressing this Light all ways - Your Ascended Master Saint Germain This instruction comes to you through the loving courtesy of the Ascended Masters' Darjeeling, India, Council, of whom all the Ascended Masters are members. Formula for Supply: "Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days." Eccl. 11:1 Bread cast upon the waters shall return.

As you enjoy the comfort of its soft, mellow rays and their illumination of everything around you - the goodness, beauty and blessings that surround you as well as the appearances of obstacles on your path that you yourself have created - is it not strange that some people do not instantly recognize that this flaming energy is God himself in action? This Great God Presence, the Source of all, expresses himself through his many divine messengers; and two of these are beloved Helios and Vesta, God and Goddess of your physical sun. These radiant beings, twin flames of God's love, are the source of all light radiating out in space to every planet of your system and beyond. The nature of these beings is, of course, the fullness of God's love and wisdom, and their will is wholly to do only his will, expanding his magnificence everywhere. It is my great joy and honor to serve these God-manifestations of the sun. Today I am speaking in the name of Almighty God from the radiant fire of the very sun itself, announcing to all humanity (for I AM Gabriel, the Archangel of Annunciation) that more and more of God's Divine Love is to be expressed through the high towers of this lighthouse activity and The Summit Lighthouse, even as the ascended and angelic hosts are expressing that Love today. I, Gabriel, stand daily in the presence of Almighty God himself, there to absorb the fullness of his Light, Love, Wisdom and Power and every God-gift and perfection. This Light then radiates out from me wherever I move and to whomever I direct my attention. You know without my telling you that earth's shadows flee before the light; therefore the very presence of my Light is the Master of all substance and energy everywhere I AM. As you sincerely contemplate the presence of any ascended being, who in that very ascension has become Light itself (for instance the luminous presence of beloved Jesus), you can behold radiant Light-energy as visible, tangible light rays flowing forth from every cell of their Ascended Master form. Such a luminous radiation we observed around beloved Mary even before her ascension, although, of course, to a lesser degree. This luminosity in the aura about her made it easy for me to appear to her and to give her the assistance of my radiation as I confirmed to her the coming of Jesus, whom she was to bring forth in a flesh form as a part of the fulfillment of her divine plan. I am speaking these words to you today from the Altar of Light to this world in the very heart of the sun itself, charging them forth with the full power thereof in the hope that those lifestreams on earth who really love the Light will not only understand my words but also my reason for releasing them. It is to offer my loving help to each one who has unshakable faith in the presence of God within and who by active service to his fellowman in faith and love will give me the opportunity to announce to him his own I AM Victory. Such selfless service to God through service to his fellowman will draw into, through and around him the radiant Light from his own I AM Presence and the ascended host, the selfsame Light which illumined our beloved Jesus, Mary and others of the Great White Brotherhood, even before their ascension. What even one can do and has done, all can do! If those who have gone before have externalized self-luminosity through their flesh forms, any and all can reproduce this manifestation in and through themselves by the same devotion and dedication to Life that was expressed by the holy ones. As the Greater Light from above is drawn into the flesh form through the heart, the Light instantly expands and continues to expand more and more in every cell of even the flesh body. This magnificent living Light will shine forth first through the heart, the sun of the physical form, then it will illumine the head, and then it will shine forth from the hands for all to see and to love. Then will there be stirred up within the worlds of those who witness this Light a desire to imitate the glory through themselves. Is it not written that on the mount of transfiguration Jesus' countenance shone as the sun at noonday?{9} This self-luminosity of the physical form is possible for every sincere student on the Path even before the ascension takes place, especially in these days when the willing assistance of the entire Great White Brotherhood is available to all. You know that I am also, with Uriel, the Archangel of the Resurrection; and if you will call to me and ask me to help you achieve this illumination of your bodies, I can help you to resurrect that which you once knew and had with the Father before the world was. When such a victorious accomplishment has been manifested by you, I shall appear to you visibly and tangibly saying, "I am Gabriel the Archangel, giving your expanding Light the tremendous impetus of my own and announcing to you your eternal freedom and victory in the Light!" On wings of Light, Love and Hope I AM Archangel Gabriel This instruction comes to you through the loving courtesy of the Ascended Masters' Darjeeling, India, Council of God's Will, of which all the Ascended Masters are members. ****** Chapter 8 Maha Chohan - October 3, 1958 - Comforting Presence of the Holy Spirit ****** Vol. 1 No. 8 - Maha Chohan - October 3, 1958 THE SUMMIT LIGHTHOUSE OF FREEDOM Charges Forth Herewith Its Radiant Beams Which Manifest As "PEARLS OF WISDOM" Our beloved Maha Chohan honors us this week with a lovely- worded blessing from his great heart of divine comfort. Accept his golden-pink flame as you read, gracious reader, letting it completely saturate your entire being and world. My Blessed Friends of Light Who Would Know the Comforting Presence of the Holy Spirit, In dignity and poise divine on that day centuries ago did the beloved Christopher Columbus, today the Ascended Master Saint Germain, stand at the helm of his ship, the Santa Maria. The captain named it for the beloved Mary, Mother of Jesus, in memory of those holy Judean days when he (as Joseph) had so lovingly watched over those precious lifestreams, particularly during their flight into Egypt where they sought freedom and sanctuary from Herod's wrath. Now, in the time of his need these same beloved ones, Jesus and Mother Mary, who long since had ascended, watched over him as in the embodiment of Columbus he stood dauntless against tremendous obstacles, sent to find new trade routes to the East, yet determined in his spirit to reach the land where his hope of a free world would find physical birth in future years. Sustained by an inner conviction which lighted his heart, that conviction that his project was in fulfillment of a part of God's great divine plan, and sustained as well by the radiation of the beloved Jesus, Mary, and myself, this blessed lifestream held steadfast to God not only through the storms of the elements but through the shadows of human creation which attempted to divert his attention from his divine goal. Added to the dangers of travel by sea in those days, especially in the none too seaworthy ship he commanded, was the mutiny of his crew, whose ungoverned fear, greed, and selfishness would have appalled and overcome most men, for it threatened the success of his entire enterprise. However, by his constant holding to a high faith in attunement with his own beloved I AM Presence and the comforting presence of my Holy Spirit anchored right within his beating heart, he consciously expanded through his outer self the pure love of his own divinity, regardless of outer appearances. Thus he won the day and his overwhelming victory was made manifest for an entire world to witness. Yet even though his immediate victory was thus achieved, it yet required another day and other lifestreams to bring into manifestation in that new world which he had discovered at least some of the freedom which he knew God intended for it. Up to the time of this successful voyage by Christopher Columbus, this vision of a free world had had secret and holy shelter within the heart of Columbus alone, so far as the unascended of this world were concerned. Now, building upon the foundation of this gift of the unascended lifestream of Columbus, there is given unto the men and women of America today the opportunity sincerely to pray in faith and work in constancy, patience, and determination to protect, sustain, and expand the God-security of eternal freedom through the release of Divine Love, which it is the destiny for true Americans everywhere to express. So, as Christopher Columbus, your beloved Saint Germain gave his very life to serve and bless all mankind with God's good through the fulfillment of his divine plan. Today, ascended and eternally free in our realms of light, he continues to work with unascended sons and daughters of Light in this octave, endeavoring to lift them to the pinnacle of divine freedom through the recognition and acknowledgment that the outpouring of the feelings of Divine Love will bring eternal freedom in the Light not only to your land of America but to all this dear earth and all her evolutions individually and collectively. This acknowledgment and use of the light of Divine Love as the Master Presence over all substance and energy is a treasure of God's heart and of your own. When put into constant, joyous practice by one and all, it will bring more quickly the full blessings from the Ascended Masters' octave into this physical appearance world, especially to those who aspire to divine manhood and womanhood in the Christ expressed right here and now. Beloved children of my comfort flame, on this auspicious day, October 12, 1958, will you join your energies with mine and those of the ascended host so that a glorious gift from God himself may be acknowledged not only by us and earth's people but by the life within every cell and atom of the planet itself in the most sincere and intense feeling of gratitude. This day is indeed one of cosmic import to the entire system, similar to that about which beloved Jesus spoke in his day of victory, "If these had held their peace, the very stones of earth would have cried out." After this date, October 12, 1958, more of the subtle cosmic energies of perfection from the sun itself will be able to pulsate through the atmosphere and substance of earth, causing all life here to take on more of the freedom of life and light from the sun. Gradually this will step up the vibrations of the earth nearer to those of the other planets in our solar system; and after this date it will be easier for you to decree, too, as well as to bring forth the quicker manifestations of your decrees. This will make the entire planet much more receptive to the feeling of God's Divine Love, which is heaven's grace and make it easier for the people express those feelings to all life. I speak now to your Holy Christ Self and to your own individual threefold flame of eternal Truth within your heart. I call for the increase of size and power of this threefold flame within you. On your part this will require the daily giving of at least a little time and attention to the expanding of this flame through your outer form, the blue plume of faith, the golden plume of illumination, and the pink plume of divine love. Visualize these brilliantly blazing plumes of fire rising like a mighty geyser of light, passing out through your flesh body and the atmosphere about it. The expansion of your own threefold flame brings you closer and closer to your own eternal freedom, your ascension. Now in the name and power of the gracious Goddess of Opportunity do I bless you, sincerely hoping that each of you who reads these words will consciously accept the opportunities we offer in the fullness of the love in which they are given. Then when the feast day of Thanksgiving arrives may we all gather together in the spirit of divine gratitude, ascended and unascended alike, at the festive board of Almighty God, expressing true feelings of gratitude supreme for his bountiful outpouring, this time not only for the gifts of the current year, as is usually done, but now for this added cosmic gift to the earth and to our beloved Saint Germain, who is the king of the seventh age and whose reign shall hold sway for the next two thousand years. I bless you eternally with the healing, illumining, and supplying love of my comfort flame. Maha Chohan This instruction comes to you through the loving courtesy of the Ascended Masters' council of God's will at Darjeeling, India, of which all the Ascended Masters are members. Note: The great ones have said that the feeling of sincere and intense gratitude expressed to God for anything of good one enjoys is the wide open door to his receiving more of that good. Therefore in order to expand our finances and their abundant flow into our worlds, it would be well to take one's purse in hand every morning before starting the activities of the day and consciously thank your own beloved I AM Presence and beloved Maha Chohan, through whom flows all the energies from the sun to this earth, for the money and good you now have, asking at the same time for the constant increase thereof. It is God's holy will that you should have it. Then use it freely, knowing that more will flow to you as you lovingly cooperate with the law of holding uninterrupted harmony in your feelings. It is worth trying, for it works!

However, I am offering you here a phase of God's Divine Law which, if one will joyously co-operate with it, will enable anyone to more quickly mitigate his or her own distressing karmas as he, in mercy, helps others to do likewise. It is true that the Karmic Law is very exacting and always returns to each lifestream every "jot and tittle" of energy sent out by that one - constructive or otherwise - and ALWAYS WITH ACCUMULATED ENERGY! "Like attracts like," and so that energy, as it completes its circle of expression, gathers to itself more of its kind. Then, like a mighty boomerang, it returns to the one who sent it forth. Since God Himself is the Creator of all there is and, as such, therefore is IN all there is, the God-virtue of Mercy is always present - ready and willing to release the balm of its comfort to all who will accept it. Now, there are those living here who claim to understand and obey God's Law of Life - living "righteously" - and claiming that they are quite aware of the exactitude of that Law. Yet, some of these same lifestreams are quite undisturbed when they see a brother fall under the weight of his own destructive karmas, assuming the attitude of "He made his bed - let him lie in it!" Does such a one think he or she can possibly escape the retribution to him or her which must come from such an un-God-like and merciless consciousness? You will recall that when the Good Samaritan became aware of the needy traveller upon his way, he did not "pass by on the other side" as did some others. This good man actually paused on his way, leaving his means of conveyance and temporarily interrupting the course of his own journey and personal interests, to give the most PRACTICAL service he could to a brother in need. It is one thing to be able to teach the Law and its exactitude (which keeps life in balanced expression), but it is a far more advanced teaching of that same Law to point out and stress the unfailing mercy of God as one of the beautiful manifestations of His Grace! This week, I am directing to you, Our Gracious Readers of the Summit Lighthouse, a radiant beam of My light which carries within it a very gentle but wise suggestion that each one might begin to think about how he or she may manifest more and more of the God-virtue of MERCY in his thoughts, feelings, spoken words and actions toward others. It is always so easy to draw conclusions about another's person, speech or conduct and to say: "That is a violation of the Law." However, since all embodying here have often violated that same Law at one time or another (and, if still unascended, may be presently doing so, too!) it is far more gracious and merciful to make the call to the (seemingly) erring one's "I AM" Presence (anchored right within that one's beating heart) and say: "Beloved `I AM' Presence of that one! BLAZE oceans of Violet Fire in, through and around him and his world. Transmute those shadows into your great light - then sustain and expand that light all ways. Illumine him! Set him free NOW and KEEP him free all ways!" Gracious Reader! It is our sincere hope that you will quickly come to know the true feeling of the quality of MERCY as embodied by the lovely Ascended Lady Master Kwan Yin. Once you really know what that feeling is, you will be quite aware that each one of you frequently has been a recipient of the MERCY of God, expressed MANY TIMES through His Divine Messengers - the Ascended and Angelic Hosts. Then, too, will you be much more ready and willing to give from your own world that MERCY to all life! Of a surety, I know that those of you who will begin this practice of giving and expanding MERCY to all life will receive from the Lord of the World Himself (Our Gracious Gautama) His priceless gift of God-peace - a gift which will give you such tremendous assistance to do God's Will each day. Precious hearts! From this Tower of The Lighthouse, I am flooding to each of you this week MY feelings of MERCY, of JOY and of COMFORT and I am sure that each of you will benefit tremendously from the instruction given if you will make conscious endeavor to lovingly co-operate with this phase of the Law. Our "Pearl" this week is really an iridescent one - a "Pearl of Great Price," containing within itself all the colors (Virtues) of the entire Seven Rays - for ALL of the Rays embody the gentle and yet all-powerful manifestation of LIVING MERCY, which is so much a part of that God-expression - Divine Grace. "I AM" the Keeper of the Victory of God's Will for You - El Morya Khan-Vondir! "Khan" means "Lord" or "ruler" and "Vondir" (pronounced von-deer, with accent on second syllable) means "God bless and keep and speed you on your way." (This instruction comes to you through the loving courtesy of the Ascended Masters' Darjeeling (India) Council of God's Will, of which ALL the Ascended Host are Members.) NOTE: Our Staff of "THE SUMMIT LIGHTHOUSE" wish to sincerely thank every one of our generous Gracious Readers for their loving co- operation in helping us to expand our mailing list so quickly. Your gifts shall return into your hands and use, amplified without limit at our call, visible and tangible, as a glad, free gift of love. We so decree it in the Name and Authority of our own Beloved "I AM" Presence! God bless you with the QUICK fulfillment of this call! ****** Chapter 10 El Morya - October 17, 1958 - The Practical, Invincible Power of Light's Protection ****** Vol. 1 No. 10 - El Morya - October 17, 1958 THE SUMMIT LIGHTHOUSE OF FREEDOM Charges Forth Herewith Its Radiant Beams Which Manifest As "PEARLS OF WISDOM" To Our Gracious Readers Dedicated to Love's Service the World Around: The Practical, Invincible Power of Light's Protection To You Who Understand the Need for God's Protection and Would Call It Forth on Behalf of God's Children Invincible God-protection - God's pure Light - consciously called forth around persons, places, conditions and things that are constructive and therefore in accord with the will of God for all his creations is really a great necessity today, especially for those who serve our Light. The average person in embodiment today is not consciously aware of the forms of destructively qualified astral substance that float in the lower atmosphere of earth and almost completely fill it. This is particularly true of the lower sphere, which is closest to the planet, in which unascended mankind live, move and have their being at least all of their waking hours, which is about two-thirds of the twenty-four-hour day. When we speak of the need for invincible protection, we are quite aware that because they cannot see things as clearly as we do, often the wisdom of God is as foolishness to men{10} - even as the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.{11} The counterpart manifestations of mankind's thoughts and feelings are invisible to their physical sight, particularly as these radiate out from the physical form and lower bodies of incarnate lifestreams either gently or not so gently. Therefore mankind do not see the necessity for spiritual protection from "thought-forms" and "feeling-forms." Sometimes, and all too often, these mental or astral forms are sent forth in sudden and violent lightninglike charges of anger, condemnation and artful accusation; then there is the gross sense of personal injustice ("He done me wrong!") that begets resentment and the desire for restitution or revenge. Impatience and abuses of power are also sent forth, then fear and doubt and all those shadings of human emotion which unfortunately express as less than Divine Love (and their name is legion). Yet even in the midst of this troubled sea, mankind do not cognize the necessity for the spiritual protection afforded by the heavenly hosts. Through mankind's release, waking or sleeping, of discordant thoughts, feelings, spoken words and deeds, this effluvia continues to be thrown off from the minds, auras and astral bodies of the race into the earth's atmosphere twenty-four hours a day. Because of the low vibrations of these thoughts and feelings, whose energies actually congeal into forms that can be seen by clairvoyants around people and places, they cause distress at some time or another to everyone on earth! Such thought and feeling energies, whether they are released consciously or unconsciously, will not simply evaporate: they remain as a record in the memory (etheric) body and as misqualified substance that is a karmic liability to the sender and a grievous burden to the receiver. This discordant energy must then be lived through, worked through with or without real resolution; or by the grace of God it can be consciously transmuted by those who understand our God as "a consuming fire"{12} and will call forth the violet flame of mercy and compassion from the altars of heaven to transmute all wrongs given or received. A few of mankind have been consciously calling forth the violet fire of the Holy Spirit in selfless service over the last twenty-five years, and therefore your dear earth is being daily purified of layers upon layers of discordant human creation which for so long has prevented the will of God for the Lightbearers on the planet from coming into manifestation. Beloved ones, by way of taking personal responsibility for his own individual protection, every sincere student on the Path must of necessity learn to call forth his tube of light. This protection must extend to his four lower bodies (physical, etheric, mental and emotional), which interpenetrate each other so that what affects one affects all. But is each one of you receiving the maximum blessing of the protective power of your tube of light? The protection of the tube of light is real! It is a gift of great love and mercy from your beloved Mighty I AM Presence to protect you not only from "the terror by night" (general destruction present in the atmosphere of earth and in the collective unconscious that your outer self is not aware of) but also from "the arrow that flieth by day"{13} (sharp, critical, impatient, belittling statements, cursings, foul language or selfish releases which may even be projected directly at you by students of the Law who have not as yet brought their own thoughts, feelings or speaking habits under God's control). Now, the Great Arcturus, Elohim of violet fire, and the Mighty Zadkiel, Archangel of that mercy flame, have both suggested that you never allow such misqualified energies to be personalized even though they be driven deliberately against you. They have asked that you use every such experience as an opportunity to transmute all discordant vibrations into the pure white light by blazing the violet fire through them and then calling for pure God-harmony to be sent back and anchored in the world of the offending individual, to establish and maintain that God-control that shall prevent their ever repeating this unfortunate mistake. So can such unhappy occurrences be consciously turned into miracles of help to the erring one. After all, is it not written, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God"?{14} Gracious readers, may we very gently and yet quite firmly impress upon each of you this week the imperative need for you to call forth round about you from your Mighty I AM Presence a tube of pure, scintillating electronic light substance, which is the essence of your beloved Presence. Visualize this tube of white light as a shaft of radiant, glistening substance directed from the hands of your Presence as a steellike cylinder, its walls having a depth of at least three feet and extending from your heart center for a radius of about nine feet, surrounding you with its God-protection of blazing light. This tube of light is instantly formed at your call! It acts as a sieve to keep from entering your world the denser vibrations of shadowed human thought and feeling substance, which may be in the atmosphere around you in which you live and move or which may be consciously driven at you. Now, this is important. If the individual calling forth this tube of light were to hold absolute, invincible harmony within his thought and feeling world inside that tube of light for just forty-eight hours continuously, he could positively keep screened out of his world all distressing experiences and vibrations of unhappiness. He would be able to move in the harmonious atmosphere of his own individualized God Presence, which would then radiate naturally from his Holy Christ Self. I have seen this done in India many times by unascended masters who attained a great deal of what would be considered phenomenal power. These masters have been known to draw this tube of light about them so perfectly, although it may be invisible to the physical sight of the average person, that they could stand calmly poised before another who was aiming directly at them with an elephant rifle, which as you know takes large bullets. I have heard such an unascended master command the one aiming the rifle to fire at him, and I have seen the bullet instantly fall to the ground upon contacting the tube of light, the bullet as flat as a ten-cent piece of your money! Such is the practical, invincible power of Light's protection. Not I alone but thousands of visitors to India have seen this done. Sometimes the onlookers are just curious tourists, not necessarily conscious students of the Law of Life. Dear hearts who love us and who are endeavoring to do God's will to the best of your ability, I ask you to call daily, faithfully and confidently to your Mighty I AM Presence to secure this tube of electronic light substance about you. And since it takes but a moment to make the call and visualize the perfect focus of its blazing protection, it would be well to repeat your call three times a day at rhythmic intervals (morning, noon and night). Then, of course, one must endeavor to express full faith in the invincibility of this Light-essence to do its perfect work of protecting the one who has called it forth or the one for whom it has been called forth. For when calling forth the tube of light for oneself, one can and should naturally call it forth for one's family members and all children of the Light in need. As a matter of fact, parents have a tremendous opportunity to call this invincible God-protection around their children each day, at least until each child has been taught to call forth his own personal protection for himself and does so regularly. Remember, a child's mind is often much more receptive to Light and its manifestations than that of an adult; for it has not been so long since the children have come from the realms of Light, where such instruction is known to be true. Beloved ones, no matter how great the spiritual light within or around any unascended lifestream becomes, until the ascension is attained this need for the invincible protection of the tube of light cannot be overemphasized. You must never neglect or dispense with your personal call for your tube of light, even when you are in the presence of another who may be considered to have very great light. No one should consider that he of himself is completely protected against human disturbances while he walks the byways of earth in an unillumined flesh form, especially in these days of such chaos and confusion in the outer world. O beloved ones, once you have confidently called forth this tube of light around you (and around those for whom you have called it forth), trust it to do its perfect work. Expect that what you have called for will manifest by the power of your Mighty I AM Presence multiplied by your vision and your faith in God's law, which ordains this protection for his own. Be sure to do your part to hold uninterrupted harmony inside that tube of light within your thoughts, feelings, spoken words and deeds, keeping your motives always pure, honest, earnest and sincere to serve and expand only the Light and Love of God everywhere. Now, why does the cosmic law demand uninterrupted harmony from the individual who desires this invincible protection from the tube of light? Is it just an arbitrary demand? No! There is a perfectly logical and scientific reason for it. You see, until this tube of light has been allowed to remain absolutely undisturbed from within for at least forty-eight hours so that it can assume its full strength, it is as delicate and as gossamer as a chiffon veil! However, if this light substance is allowed to set, just as liquid gelatin takes the form of the mold into which it has been poured, the tube of light becomes absolutely impenetrable to anything unlike itself that would seek entrée into the individual's world from without. Therefore, should any angry, impatient or violent thought, feeling or spoken word be released or acted upon by the lifestream who has called forth this tube of light, that sharp and lightninglike thought-form of shadow (in very dark, dull and lifeless colors) will charge through that tube of light, tearing it open from within, just as if one were to throw a sharp knife through a chiffon veil. Do you see? Therefore the loving mercy of the Law admonishes the student for his own good to constantly control his aggressive energies if he would have the perfect protection that he needs and desires. From now on let us all firmly resolve (and we shall help you to do this if you will ask us) to be as conscious of this tube of light as we are of our own heartbeat. One does not see it, yet one knows it is there sustaining his body's life. Feel the presence and security of this tube of light about you all ways, and as you grow in grace, so will you grow in faith and confidence in its presence there. Thus you will keep your world in a constant state of greater readiness and ability to serve us as an arm of our presence, consciously or otherwise. For many times we walk by your side and use your lifestream as a focus for the outpouring of our Light, giving assistance through you to all the life you contact. Of this your outer self may know nothing. If you are sincerely endeavoring to serve us, you do become a focus of our presence in action wherever you move. I AM the obedient servant of your Light, El Morya Khan - Vondir! This instruction comes to you through the loving courtesy of the Ascended Masters' Darjeeling, India, Council of God's Will, of which all the Ascended Masters are members. ****** Chapter 11 El Morya - October 24, 1958 - See Your Own Beloved I AM Presence Face to Face ****** Vol. 1 No. 11 - El Morya - October 24, 1958 THE SUMMIT LIGHTHOUSE OF FREEDOM Charges Forth Herewith Its Radiant Beams Which Manifest As "PEARLS OF WISDOM" To Our Gracious Readers Dedicated to Love's Service the World Around: See Your Own Beloved I AM Presence Face to Face My blessed chelas - truly sons and daughters of the Christ flame - here and now accept the comfort and assurance of the truth I bring you, that once you have consciously and determinedly entered upon the spiritual path, henceforth you are never alone! There is always one or more of us standing guard over you through our Electronic Presence stationed at your side; or we may assign an angelic guard to watch with you and to keep you and your loved ones in all your ways. We who are endeavoring to help you gain your freedom from every binding karmic condition periodically look over your worlds to ascertain what more we can do to hasten your deliverance from the shackles of the human consciousness. At such times it is our greatest desire for you to receive some grant or dispensation from the great Karmic Board that would enable you to see your own beloved I AM Presence face to face in all its Godlike majesty and effulgent glory. Of course we are wholly God-free beings in our own realm and right; yet we are absolutely, willingly and joyously obedient to the Great Cosmic Law as well as to the law of your own free will and karma, trusting completely and resting serenely in its wisdom at all times. However, we know that if for just one fleeting moment you were to be able to see your own beloved I AM Presence face to face, this experience would help you O so much on your spiritual journey. Ever thereafter the memory of the Divine Image smiling upon you with such unspeakable love would help you sustain a most buoyant and joyous enthusiasm to "keep on keeping on." Know, then, that by revisiting in your mind's eye the loving face of your Presence, that Divine Love's impetus in your endeavors will quickly and completely purify your four lower bodies, your thoughts and feelings, and your affairs. Know that by Divine Love's alchemy this will take place as you engage in an even more intensive use of the violet transmuting flame than you have ever engaged in before. And know that when you have used that violet flame enough, the glory and the magnificence of Divine Love's I AM Presence can no longer be hidden from you - even from your physical sight. When Moses asked the LORD to show him the glory of his Presence, the LORD said: "I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD , 'I AM THAT I AM,' before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy, but Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live."{15} Unascended mankind have not understood this statement. It is a mystery that I hereby reveal: No man shall see God and live - as man. For once man has seen the glory of the LORD face to face, he can no longer live as mortal man. Transformed by his vision of the LORD in the glory of the I AM THAT I AM, he must henceforth live as the God he has seen in man-ifestation. Having seen the LORD's Image and Likeness, he is re-created after that Image and Likeness. The God-man has displaced the hu-man, or the "hewn-man" - that man that was "made of the dust of the ground."{16} For his karma's sake, Moses, in the outer, was not allowed to see God face to face; for the LORD answered him and said: "Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock. ... And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen."{17} Nevertheless, when Moses came down the mount Sinai the second time with two tables of testimony in his hand, he was not aware that "the skin of his face shone while he talked with the LORD."{18} And Aaron and the children of Israel were afraid to come near; wherefore Moses put a veil on his face while he spoke with them. But when he went in before the LORD to speak with him he took off the veil. And so it was that though he himself was not permitted to see God's glory, this glory shone upon him as a testimony of the LORD's Mighty I AM Presence to all the people. And they believed on Moses as the Messenger of the LORD; for they saw the LORD's glory, not face to face but reflected upon the face of Moses. So much for the dispensation of Moses: "And the glory of the LORD shone upon him. ..." But with the coming of Jesus Christ and the Piscean dispensation the door to the I AM Presence was opened to the children of God. The Father sent his Son, the Only Begotten of the I AM THAT I AM to be the Blessed Mediator between the plane of his absolute perfection and the plane of imperfection to which his errant children had descended. As you know, this Blessed Mediator is your Beloved Holy Christ Self, whose advent Jeremiah foretold when he called him THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Through this Universal Christ, individualized and personified as the Teacher and Friend, Guardian and Guide of every child of God, the glory of the LORD may now be seen face to face. For the Holy Christ Self is the Only Begotten (Son) of the I AM THAT I AM, truly the glory of the LORD, in whose face the supplicant beholds the face of God. And the word of the Blessed Mediator to each seeking soul who would look up into God's face is: "I AM the Open Door to your Mighty I AM Presence which no man can shut!" Thus, since God sent his Son into the world, that through him the world might be saved, thousands of unascended lifestreams yet bearing their karma as Moses did, even many who were unaware of their own I AM Presence, at some split second when (even unknowingly) they made a certain attunement with their Holy Christ Self, that Presence has been visible to them for just a moment. Often they thought the Presence to be some angelic messenger, delivering a blessing of illumination, protection, warning, or whatever the Holy Christ Self deemed necessary at the time. And the fullness of such a blessing might not even manifest in their outer experience-world until some later date. Now, this glimpse of the I AM Presence may have seemed to the outer self a happenstance, although it really was not. Everything in our realm as well as in yours works according to cosmic law. If there be an effect, there must be a cause to have produced it. In this instance the effect, the sight of their own Beloved God Self, was a gift of grace that they had earned somewhere in some way. In the case of an awakened or fully enlightened chela, however, the appearance visibly and tangibly of his I AM Presence will not be just an isolated manifestation. Once the God-conscious chela has arrived at that purified state where he can see his Presence face to face, by spiritual attainment rather than as a gift or grace, then he will be able to see the Presence at will and by cosmic law the sight thereof can never be shut off from him again. I know that you now see much more clearly than ever before how desirable and rewarding to you is your constant, grateful, and joyous use of the violet transmuting flame. For at any moment of any hour of any day when you shall have purified yourselves enough and when the attunement between you and your Holy Christ Self is in accord, your lovely, radiant I AM Presence will reveal itself to you. Do you not think that the Father longs to reveal his Presence to you, loving you as he does above all else and all others? The Light of God's Presence is an all-powerful magnet to draw your attention to itself. And through your attention the Presence then draws all of the energies which you have used and misused throughout the centuries of your embodiments here on earth into the sacred fire for transmutation. Therefore, persevere in your conscious purification of those misqualified energies by the violet flame so that your sendings to your Presence will glorify his name I AM THAT I AM. Remember the words of beloved Saint Paul, now the Ascended Master Hilarion: "Be not weary in well doing: for in due season ye shall reap, if ye faint not."{19} In your daily application of the Word in prayer, affirmation and decree, as you send your sincere love and gratitude to your I AM Presence for life's opportunities, ask the Father to reveal himself to you in your full waking consciousness. And the Father will answer you according to his cycles and he will hasten your experience of a personal victory. May I gently suggest, dear chela, that you give to this ritual some definite daily attention this week. This joyous manifestation will increase your faith no end and multiply all the good in your world. And as an additional help, try to manifest in your daily living at least one of the Godly virtues of your Beloved I AM Presence as expressed and demonstrated to you by your Holy Christ Self, virtues such as divine patience, mercy, justice, kindness, generosity, strength in the Light, etc. Also, try blessing your friends and all whom you meet with a special manifestation of the Blessed Mediator each day and thus expand the Light of the I AM THAT I AM in the world everywhere you go. Then at the close of your day humbly enjoy reviewing the visions of the faces you have brightened with your smile, the hearts you have lifted, and the karmic loads you have lightened. I say "humbly" because it is your lovely I AM Presence who has rendered this service through the Holy Christ Self through you! Make it a point each day to transmute the mistakes of yesterday by good works and words of comfort and cheer - charged with the violet flame you so intensely invoke. Make it a point to consciously expand more and more of the Light of your Presence by using the day's allotment of energy to magnify your LORD and multiply your works and words by the threefold flame of your Holy Christ Self anchored within your heart. By this deliberate action know, chelas of the will of God, that you are gradually but surely making the radiance and the reality of your I AM Presence both seen and felt in this physical appearance world. Then one day not only shall you be able to see that Presence at will but you will actually have become its very God-perfection for eternity in the victory of your ascension! Beloved Immaculata, Silent Watcher of the earth, will help you to achieve this goal if you will ask her. She is so willing (as we all are) to answer your every call for more Light and more of God's perfection. I know that the very possibility of seeing your Presence face to face, which I have set before you this week, will bring a tremendous lift to your spirit. And I, who love you with an intensity that no unascended being can understand, await your calls - always first to your beloved I AM Presence and then to us - so that I may joyously help you to manifest God's will for you. Your Morya This instruction comes to you through the loving courtesy of the Ascended Masters' Darjeeling, India, Council of God's Will, of which all the ascended host are members. Formulas for supply: Not only is it the will of your own beloved I AM Presence that you should behold God face to face, but it is also the will of your Divine Source that you possess God's limitless abundance of every good thing (including money) and use it to expand Christ-perfection everywhere on earth. So if you will accept this law and if you are willing to do something about it, take the following I AM affirmation of beloved Jesus and use it three times each day, at approximately the same times, repeating it for five full uninterrupted minutes without taking your attention from your Mighty I AM Presence: "I AM! I AM! I AM! the Resurrection and the Life of my finances!" Repeat this mantra nine times and then seal it with the acceptance given once: "Now made manifest in my hands and use today!" As you repeat this for five minutes, visualize in your hands the desired abundance or the amount of money you need. Keep up this exercise in full faith in the Light of God that never fails until you get results. Be certain that you submit your request to the will of God, that your motive is only to serve and bless all life, and that you are also willing to go to work to do your part to precipitate your own supply. "The LORD [the Mighty I AM Presence] helps those who help themselves." ****** Chapter 12 El Morya - October 31, 1958 - Bringing in the Sheaves of a Bountiful Harvest ****** Vol. 1 No. 12 - El Morya - October 31, 1958 THE SUMMIT LIGHTHOUSE OF FREEDOM Charges Forth Herewith Its Radiant Beams Which Manifest As "PEARLS OF WISDOM" To Our Gracious Readers Dedicated to Love's Service the World Around: Bringing in the Sheaves of a Bountiful Harvest As the colorful and blessed Thanksgiving season approaches, the attention of all in our realm as well as in yours turns in joyous expectancy to bringing in the sheaves of a bountiful harvest. In the springtime when the farmer tills the field and sows the seed, expecting the warm sun and gentle rain to do their perfect work, all is done in the hope of reaping an abundant harvest from that which has been sown. Not only in your world of form is seed sown and a harvest reaped but also in that of every individualized intelligence in the great cosmos, including those of us of the ascended host who work with unascended mankind. For we are constantly engaged in the preparation of consciousness individually and en masse to receive the seeds (divine ideas) which if accepted, allowed to take root and grow, being nourished by the rhythmic attention and gratitude of the receivers, will bring forth a mighty harvest of practical God-blessings manifesting in the daily lives of all. Now, as surely as there has always been a springtime, so will there always be a harvest time. These are the natural manifestations of cause and effect. Even so, every cause brings forth after its kind, - producing an effect according to the type and amount of seed which is sown. Therefore, beloved chelas, look well to the daily sowings of your seed - thoughts, feelings, spoken words, and deeds which go forth from you - for these are the creative processes of your world. The seed that goes forth from you, planted, as it were, may be tiny and, being out of your physical sight, may soon be forgotten (as is the thoughtless, impatient or ungrateful word or gesture). However, as you so well know, everything sent forth, remembered or not, must always return to its sender - and always with accumulated energy after its kind. For like attracts like. That is the Law. We of the ascended host are quite familiar with the outer mind of mankind, which often tires of the sameness of things and wants something new. At the same time, that outer mind demands sameness in other respects, deriving great comfort therefrom. For instance, does one ever tire of looking upon a great field of waving grain ready for harvest? Does one tire of looking upon the orchards of rosy-cheeked and golden apples in the Northwest or the orange-colored pumpkins in the East and graceful ears of corn in the Midwest? Do mankind not expect the same general form, substance, color and flavor to be present in the same type of food every year? Some among mankind are truly grateful for these gifts of the Nature kingdom, and others take them very much for granted. All should learn how to express real gratitude for the gifts of God that supply sustenance for their bodies, thus giving them opportunity to express their talents among their fellowmen in service to life. Now, as we render our spiritual service to mankind, the outer self, or carnal mind, of the chelas sometimes takes exception to our teaching method whereby we regularly repeat certain fundamentals of the Law that they have heard so often. Well, if we do, it is because the chelas have as yet not grasped their full meaning and efficacy; they have not put them into practice as an applied science, "with signs following," nor made them a working part of their worlds. For the test of this knowledge is not in the hearing but in the doing. The Law requires the development of a certain soul-mastery, a familiarity with its precepts, which become working principles, before the chelas may be given a higher instruction. Thus, when the hearers of the word become the doers, the Law is satisfied and the advanced teachings in alchemy cannot be withheld from the sincere and selfless servant. You see, the wisdom of the Holy Christ Self determines when the lifestream is ready for more instruction and just what each one should have. On the other hand the outer mind always likes to hear something new and different, - the latest release from our octave, the latest world news, or even the latest local gossip - anything that will attract and hold its flitting attention for a moment and capture the imagination. Certainly mankind or the chelas are not to be chided for this, for here below, variety is the spice of life, providing respite from the treadmill of karmic existence, which binds their time and energy to an uninteresting monotony. Loving you more than you can as yet understand, we would so enjoy giving you what makes you happy; but when your Holy Christ Self prescribes a certain course of study for you, that is what we must and do give. For we are always lovingly cooperative with and for your Good (God). Be at peace all ways! Trust our great wisdom, which is God's, and rest in our loving, tender care of and for you. We are quite trustworthy, for we know the way Home, having trod the entire path before you, and victoriously too! We are giving you the spiritual manna day by day, which if accepted and used will adequately fill the exact needs of the moment. Remember, we are even more willing to give you God's good than you are sometimes either ready or willing to receive it. Therefore know that just as soon as you are ready for higher teachings and manifestations of cosmic law, they cannot be withheld from you, even for one second. When the chela is ready the Master does appear! It is the Law. As you know, great changes are taking place in, through and around the earth. With the multiplication of violet flame decrees of the students the world around, the alchemy of change for the better will continue. As the vibratory rate of the planet itself is now continually being stepped up through your calls, so must there be a corresponding increase of vibration in every cell and atom of the bodies of mankind, the Nature kingdom, and all that is a part of the earth's evolutions at this time. To bring this about, especially in the physical bodies of mankind, the type of food they eat will have to be changed, being made lighter and containing those vital elements which a refined physical body holding the light of higher octaves will need to harmoniously express here below. This food is already prepared in our octave and it will be lowered into physical manifestation on earth through the Nature kingdom when the need arises. You see, all good manifests in God's good time. Patience is its own reward. In the meantime, the balanced diet based on grains, vegetables and food from the sea that has been known in the Far East for centuries may suffice many a chela on the path of the ascension. My lovely ones growing firm, straight and tall in the expansion of your own Light's perfection and becoming truly giants in the strength, courage and power of Divine Love, you have reached your present advancements because of your acceptance of our humble help, the harvest of our individual worlds offered to you so freely in God's name. Your victory is certain as you continue to walk in the Light of your own beloved I AM Presence, for this Light is the Light of God that cannot fail! Just keep on endeavoring to "practice the Presence" every waking hour and leave the showing of the way to us. Since you have become a part of ourselves on earth and an arm of our Presence, as it were, yet serving among mankind, we know that your patience will hold out for a while until the greatest of mankind's spiritual needs will have been met. Then shall we welcome you Home with such joy-Home, to go out no more. God bless you now with his will manifesting for you and yours, all ways! Your obedient Brother of Light - Morya El This instruction comes to you through the loving courtesy of the Ascended Masters' Darjeeling, India, Council of God's Will, of which all the ascended host are members. Note: In the foregoing we are again reminded of the law of the circle: Everything sent forth always returns to its sender, and always with accumulated energy. Would you, then, increase the good that you already have? If so, keep it invested in service to some other part of life, whether that good be energy, talents, money, or whatever you have to give that would bless life. Let your good flow! Set it free! Then as it returns to you it must set you free with a greater increase of itself.

A happy, confident approach to any situation, even what appears to be quite a serious one, is of tremendous assistance to all concerned in bringing about a divinely just and satisfactory resolution thereof. To possess a good sense of humor is to be greatly blessed; but if you are not so naturally blessed, you can always call to any of us and we shall be oh, so grateful for that call which will enable us to give you the sense of humor that is so much a part of the consciousness of the ascended host. Unaccountability is a word that does not apply to man's use of God's life. Everyone is always accountable to the cosmic law for the release of his energy (life) through his thought, feeling, spoken word and deed. Of course Divine Love is the master presence and authority of the entire universe, and its law supersedes all others. However, as applied to those who will not use that Law of Love, the karmic law by its very nature must return to its sender the energy sent forth qualified by human shadow, and always gathering more of its kind with accumulated energy of the same qualification. At times retribution for the misuses of God's life follows like a swift arrow that action which set the cause in motion and produces the effect of returning karma. The chalice of the heart is the generative point in man from which the gentle, Godlike feelings of Divine Love emanate; and these feelings qualify the thoughts, spoken words, and actions of each lifestream. You see, feelings account for the greatest percentage of man's qualification of his daily allotment of energy - about 90 percent; whereas thought uses only about 10 percent. As the individual release his feelings from his heart and solar plexus, often as on swift wings, they travel around the world fulfilling the law of the circle, and they never fail to return to their source! Therefore, watch the feelings you allow to pass through your lifestream. For they are even more important than your thoughts. It is easy to test this truth. For instance, if there is a difference between your thoughts and your feelings, most of the time your feelings will win out, because they represent the greater pressure of energy that is acting. Do you see? So while standing watchful guard over your feelings, be sure to restrain the unhappy mood; and as quickly as you are aware of its presence, turn your attention to something pleasant in your surroundings or, better still, to one of us, and thus change that mood instantly from that which distresses you to that which gives you Light and its joyous expression. So, to bring you divine illumination that emanates from above the stars and is sent from my heart to yours with a twinkle! again I say - Let the twinkle of mirth Abound on earth! For joy is one of the virtues of Divine Love; and joy and mirth are vibrations that in your application of the Law assist you to attain much more quickly your daily as well as your ultimate victory. Such victory I AM expressing - all ways! Lovingly, Morya (The Ascended Master Morya El) This instruction comes to you through the loving courtesy of the Ascended Masters' Darjeeling, India, Council of God's Will, of which all the ascended host are members. Note: Our beloved Ascended Master Morya, as well as the staff of the Summit Lighthouse of Freedom, sincerely thanks you for promptly seizing the opportunities offered you to help sustain and expand the humble service of the Pearls of Wisdom at this time. Consciously expect and accept beloved Morya's blessings to you and yours which will manifest perhaps in ways that you do not know of at this moment. Just know that as you have made yourselves a part of his expanded endeavor to free all life here on earth, so you have become a very real part of his heart. And his tremendous love cannot ever fail you in any way! We love you all. ****** Chapter 14 Maha Chohan - November 14, 1958 - A Floodtide of Divine Love, Light and Illumination Encompassing the Earth ****** Vol. 1 No. 14 - Maha Chohan - November 14, 1958 THE SUMMIT LIGHTHOUSE OF FREEDOM Charges Forth Herewith Its Radiant Beams Which Manifest As "PEARLS OF WISDOM" To Our Gracious Readers Dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our Beloved Maha Chohan Speaks: A Floodtide of Divine Love, Light and Illumination Encompassing the Earth O Thou Glorious, Majestic, All-Loving and yet All-Powerful Source of All Life, Thou Great Divine Intelligence manifesting to all through many rays, we thank Thee eternally for being and for being that gracious love that sustains us in thy everlasting joy! Beloved ones, in these days the golden flame of illumination from God's heart is growing brighter and brighter as it floods forth to this dear earth and her evolutions. It but remains for all, particularly those who are students of the I AM Law of Life, to open the door of their consciousnesses completely to that masterful Presence which can and will harmonize their individual and collective worlds so as to make inharmony impossible of all manifestation. Gracious reader! Now awaken to and become consciously aware of the mighty vibrations of the Holy Spirit as it constantly floods forth its rays of comfort to all life everywhere. There is an actual floodtide of Divine Love and Light encompassing the earth at this time, and this tide is mounting higher and higher, sweeping the whole world around. The floodtide of illumination of which we speak is an activity of Divine Love. Therefore it means that the infinite Presence of the great intelligence who is the Creator of all has increased the cosmic tempo of his activities throughout the universe as well as upon this planet earth. So, we may say that this floodtide of God's Light is a tidal wave of Divine Love, and its beneficent manifestations are sweeping the planet round in preparation for the coming of an age of great beauty and perfection. The full manifestation of this age, however, can only come as you faithfully and lovingly call it forth from the I AM Presence in cooperation with the loving and all-powerful assistance of the Holy Spirit and the ascended host, all of whom serve earth and her evolutions constantly by the use of the sacred fire of purity. In its various manifestations, this fire of purification removes the causes and cores of the shadows of imperfection that have been imposed upon life by human consciousness. When these shadows are removed life is allowed to express its natural perfection. Now let your thoughts, feelings, spoken words and actions daily express the confidence of knowing that God is not only in his heavenly realms but, beloved, that he actually abides within every cell and atom of your being - that he lives as an intensified focus of his Light right within your very beating heart! And let the whole world know that you know it, by your example! For this Light-focus within your heart, as you well know, is the threefold flame of Power, Wisdom and Love that is sustained by your Holy Christ Self. The expansion of this Light through your outer form shall make all things right within your world. And this shall be your witness to the truth of Ascended Master law in action. Particularly during this week will you give me your attention, at about the same time each day, so that I may be able to flood into your being and world my feelings of comfort, peace, and divine confidence in the invincible, ever-present goodness of God, which in days to come shall be an anchor of my love and power within you. I want you to have the blessing of knowing, as do all the ascended ones, that one with God, your Mighty I AM Presence, you cannot be moved or disturbed in any way by destructive appearances, which really have no power except the power you give to them by feeding them your life through your attention upon them! In truth, there is no power other than God, the beloved I AM Presence! Know this - and be free! I AM forever lovingly Your Maha Chohan This instruction comes to you through the loving courtesy of the Ascended Masters' Darjeeling, India, Council of God's Will, of which all the Ascended Masters are members. Note: Gracious reader, in these usually busy days everyone is looking for a short cut to gain their purpose or destination in life. Therefore, efficient folks like to hear only the important facts about things; and the following is one of the most important to all unascended beings. It is this: Contrary to the outer-world idea, it is much more important, and vitally so, to give than it is to receive. Everyone, from the Godhead to the lowliest creature, must give first before he can receive. Did not God first give a decree for Light to appear - "Let there be Light!" - before it could or did? Think this through! Remember, the first thing you did when you were born was to give the sacred breath God gave you to the atmosphere around you. If you had withheld the gift of that breath to life, what would have happened to you? Certainly you would have forfeited the opportunity of a lifetime. "It is more blessed to give than to receive ..." - the Master of Galilee. ****** Chapter 15 Mother Mary - November 21, 1958 - Your Age-Old and Yet Ageless Heart Friends ****** Vol. 1 No. 15 - Mother Mary - November 21, 1958 THE SUMMIT LIGHTHOUSE OF FREEDOM Charges Forth Herewith Its Radiant Beams Which Manifest As "PEARLS OF WISDOM" To Our Gracious Readers Dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Your Age-Old and Yet Ageless Heart Friends It has been well said, "Man's extremity is God's opportunity." When the human has spoken its last word upon any subject or situation and it willingly turns its attention to the beloved I AM Presence anchored in the divine spark right within its heart, it is not only the beginning of wisdom but it is also the correct attitude to be maintained by the student-disciple. The wonders of Life's spiritual bounty are not always as visible and tangible to your physical sight as those which are made manifest in physical form all about you. In these particularly opportune days one of the greatest of Life's bounties is your privilege and ability to receive from us such tremendous assistance as will lead you happily and speedily in your progress on life's way. Although ascended and perhaps still invisible to your outer sight, we are very real! We are your age-old and yet ageless heart friends. So if at times you seem to feel lonely, remember us! Know that for you to but think upon our names and thereby turn your attention toward us opens the door of your world to us and lets us in. Did you ever think of the word alone as being a contraction of two words, all one? While your attention is upon us, you are really not alone but all one with us, for your attention so connects you with us. The feeling of loneliness, then, may be felt from the old refrain of our love calling to you, endeavoring to gain your attention so that we may bless you through the channels you thereby open to and from our world. Do you know that many times during the day when you just happen to think of us it is because we are really thinking of you? We call to you from the shores of the infinite, which sometimes seem so far away and yet are so near - right where you are! You see, the appearance world, even with its glitter and myriad attractions that pull upon the senses, is also a pall upon those senses. As a consequence a hunger for communion with us sometimes arises within the heart and feeling world, for such communion brings to the soul our feelings of God-peace and rest. Beloved of my heart, it would be oh, so wise for you to learn how to make the seeming adversities of life serve your good. Therefore, when the temptation to allow self-pity appears in your consciousness, reverse that feeling and instead let yourself express gratitude and adoration to and for your own beloved I AM Presence and the crystal cord of your lifestream whereby God's light flows from the heart of the Father into your own. The crystal cord is your lifeline of Divine Love, Light and Life that keeps you connected with heaven's realms. Through the crystal cord God's life flows constantly to your heart; and it can, if you will allow it, keep you in tune with the infinite, your own God Self, and thus teach you the real meaning of Divine Love. Think! But a moment ago those tiny electrons of pure God-light that flow over your crystal cord (whose constant flow enables you to have continuity of consciousness) came from the very heart flame of your beloved I AM Presence, where they knew naught but happiness, freedom, beauty, and good of every kind. During the times when our beloved Jesus was away from the circle of our household, I became more and more aware of the wonderful magic of the power of Divine Love that eternally connects the hearts of all of God's sons and daughters on earth. Back and forth, over and through Love's divine connection, thoughts and feelings of blessing can and do flow to each other even though the physical forms may be many miles apart. To pure Divine Love there is no barrier of either time or space anywhere in the universe. One day as the consciousness of unascended beings expands into greater and greater Light, they will be able to communicate silently with each other, making themselves clearly understood heart to heart as though they were speaking aloud. Through the fires of the heart we often communicate in this manner with others of the ascended host across the vast reaches of our realm. We do not always use worded expressions. In our octave, where naught else manifests but God's pure Light and Love, as we desire to communicate with each other, the light of our hearts simply flashes forth, containing within it our thoughts and feelings. Our message is instantly picked up by the one to whom we send it, who may then respond in kind. This is a most satisfactory means of communication, for there can never be any misunderstanding of meaning or uncertainty of desire. To each and every pilgrim on his Homeward way I offer the comforting staff of my love and personal friendship. I am your Cosmic Mother, and the love from my heart encircles your own with a beautiful, delicate, yet strong filigree band of golden light. Thus you become more and more one with me and with my love even as I AM one with the Great and Glorious I AM Presence - the supreme hierophant of the greatest brotherhood of all: the Great White Brotherhood!

And from the very depths of a grateful heart each one is giving sincere praise and thanks to his Father-Mother God, I AM, for his gracious goodness. For surely his blessings have been abundantly released to all who through the open door of faith have allowed that goodness to appear, visibly and tangibly in their worlds. In this consciousness of grateful adoration to the Great God Source, would it not be well to consider how tiny were the seeds planted that produced the fruit of the field you now enjoy and how small was the measure of seed planted in comparison to the mountainous harvest so apparent? You see, the very nature of the life-force, whether in the Nature kingdom or expressed through God's offspring, is to expand and ever expand. And the unerring laws of life that govern all manifestation see to it that from within the seed itself is brought forth that which will reproduce after its kind. Even before his ascension, while living among mankind in a flesh body, beloved Jesus brought to the people's attention the law of ever-increasing abundance. This law is God's desire for all his creation, within whose beating hearts his very own Life, Light, and Love are anchored through that precious threefold flame. As the beloved Jesus demonstrated - in the most practical way possible - the truth of the glorious I AM Presence and the power it conveys to each one to manifest God in action, even as he did, well could he say: "I AM come that ye might have life and that ye might have it more abundantly!"{20} It is, of course, universal law that the I AM is the supreme Source of all Good and the constant, ever-expanding manifestation of that Good - everywhere. This law of the constant expansion of Life is impersonal and so it applies to all manifestations whether they be good or evil. Thus the seed from a weed is just as productive and capable of reproducing itself as is the kernel of wheat, for each produces after its own kind, or pattern. Therefore, as you survey the harvest of your words and works today, that harvest clearly reveals either the feast or famine of daily deeds or none. And remember, next year's harvest or tomorrow's is completely dependent on today's plan and planting - of preparation and acts well done or not at all. My chelas must be honest, earnest and sincere so that they will deliberately and intelligently plan their daily lives, planting only the seeds of thought, feeling, spoken word, and deed that will enable them to do God's will. This they must do in the full consciousness and absolute confidence that the same exact and exacting law of increase is working for you, as it ever works in Nature. Remember, your beloved I AM Presence is the Light of God that cannot fail! Therefore the appearances of failure can come about only because of the chela's disregard of the promptings of the still, small voice of the Holy Christ Self within, who anchors the flame of the gracious I AM Presence within his heart. Failure can come about as well from the chela's neglect to utilize fully his own God-given resources and opportunities to serve, which are actually limitless. This law of Life's increasing power is universal and indisputable. Therefore it merely remains for all mankind, and particularly my chelas, to so daily consecrate their individual lives to God (Good) and to the doing of his will (to expand that Good) that they can and will easily and gratefully accept every experience as a manifestation of the bounteous goodness of that I AM Presence. In so doing they will soon come to realize that the beloved I AM Presence is even more desirous of giving to them all of its good than the chelas are desirous of receiving it. When a lifestream is wholly consecrated to the doing of God's will, he knows from deep within himself, as Paul preached concerning the unfailing purpose of God to the early Christians in Rome: All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:28-31 Since all life is one and therefore each lifestream is a definite and distinct ray of Divine Love and Light from the Father of all (the all-loving I AM Presence), then everyone has equal opportunity to draw forth and develop from that God Flame anchored within his heart anything and everything he desires with which to bless life. When my chelas do this consciously in the name of the I AM Presence, their every endeavor permanently expands the threefold flame within their hearts. This expansion of the God Flame by right effort and right mindfulness, peace and good cheer is the will of God for all of his offspring. Such expansion hastens the chela's eternal release from every human distress, which God certainly never intended to be! Victorious accomplishment crowns the endeavors of the harvester who best plans and plants his field of consciousness. Keep joyously in your consciousness every waking hour that your very reason for being is to accept and fulfill your own beautiful and perfect divine plan. The ability to do so - easily, quickly, and perfectly - is your own God-given birthright. Through the most glorious graciousness and infinite freedom of God's love, you have received the opportunity to fulfill your God-plan. Now in faith and constancy give yourselves to the accomplishment thereof, with alertness and sobriety, taking advantage of every opportunity afforded you. Be assured that I have prepared for this Summit Lighthouse activity many releases of God-Light and -Life that will delight the hearts of all who will accept them. Such gifts from our realm are being made possible through the loving assistance and cooperation of those who make up that magnificent order of Divine Love known to you as the Great White Brotherhood, all of whom are supporting your beloved Saint Germain and me in these days. From the windows of my retreat here in Darjeeling I have a beautiful view of the scintillating Himalayan snows upon the crests of the majestic peaks nearby; and yet because of the temperate climate, it is possible to view the parade of the four seasons through the year. And so, as I look out upon the beauties of Nature that surround my lovely home on every side, I often think of you, individually and collectively, as you experience Nature's variation of expression, climatic or otherwise. Do you know that it is easier for you to tune in to my consciousness than it is for you to tune in to your radio or television set? You see, to connect with me you have but to turn your attention to me from wherever you are. Is that not simple and easy of accomplishment? So as the coming months will give my gracious readers more time to spend indoors, I trust that you will fully utilize winter's opportunity to study these beneficent laws and crystal-clear truths that we have been presenting to you, as Paul also admonished: "Study to show thyself approved unto God ..."{21} Ask God each day that, for that day, only the divine plan of your lifestream will manifest; then by turning your attention to him, learn from God how you can easily and quickly fulfill that divine plan. Just think what an activity of cosmic purpose is expressed each year by the tiny seed in its own setting. Can you not do at least as much, having through the threefold flame anchored right within your beating heart all of God that is required for you to produce this victory as your harvest of the hours and lifetimes spent in his service? May your own beloved, beautiful I AM Presence illumine you quickly, each one, as to the real meaning of the will of God that I AM in action all ways! EL MORYA KHAN (The Ascended Master Morya El) Vondir! This instruction comes to you through the loving courtesy of the Ascended Masters' Darjeeling, India, Retreat of God's Will, of which all the ascended host are members. Formulas for Supply: Gracious reader, did you ever give much thought to the God-idea of tithing? It is a very wonderful way to systematically increase one's good. The command was given to us by the LORD through his prophet Malachi: "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it." And unto us who are faithful the promise is also given: "And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts."{22} ****** Chapter 17 Godfre - December 5, 1958 - Associate with the Ascended Masters Before Your Ascension ****** Vol. 1 No. 17 - Godfre - December 5, 1958 THE SUMMIT LIGHTHOUSE OF FREEDOM Charges Forth Herewith Its Radiant Beams Which Manifest As "PEARLS OF WISDOM" To Our Gracious Readers Dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our Beloved Ascended Master Godfre Speaks: Associate with the Ascended Masters Before Your Ascension I am grateful indeed for this opportunity to speak to all our gracious readers of the lovely Pearls of Wisdom, those very precious lifestreams who knew and loved me before my ascension as well as those who may be meeting me now for the first time. I bring to you all the loving greetings and blessings of the ascended host, which they release into your worlds through their light rays directed to you as you read these my words. I am constantly privileged to associate and serve with this glorious ascended host. We are planning, by a tremendous release of their God-Love and Light such as your outer consciousness can scarcely imagine, a most wonderful Christmas season of blessing for you and all mankind this year. This service will assist in more quickly bringing about permanent peace on earth and the feeling of goodwill (God's will) one to the other - everywhere! Our beloved Saint Germain has served for many, many centuries, before and since his ascension, to promote the outer manifestation of this feeling of Christ brotherhood among men. From the etheric city that I am presently serving in with certain members of the Great White Brotherhood, we are releasing specialized rays of comfort, peace and healing for the wounds of this dear planet and her evolutions. It is such a joyous experience to be able to see, as the result of your decrees, the instantaneous manifestations of perfection brought about by the light rays we send forth to do your and our bidding, knowing that that Light of God cannot fail! While you are yet unascended, your lovely spirits still encased in the heavier garments of flesh, I know it is more difficult for you than it is for us to feel the full glory and power of the ascended ones. Of course, this is because the humanly shadowed thoughts and feelings of fear, frustrated desires, and often bodily pain and other distresses surround the outer self and disturb the peace and poise of your being. These prevent much of your enjoyment of the abundant life that is your divine right to experience from coming into manifestation. Besides, these human conditions and conditionings take a heavy toll on your energies by drawing and holding your attention to them. If you allow them, they live in your world off of your life, for they really have no world or life or power of volition of their own! Then, too, the beautiful, instantaneous service of the violet fire is not so apparent to you as it is to us when you call it into dynamic action to permanently transmute that which is human to make way for that which is divine. However, if you will "keep on keeping on," as beloved Saint Germain says, in your sincere endeavor to understand and practice the use of this merciful violet fire, you really can rise very quickly in consciousness to a state of being where you can see, hear, and associate with the ascended ones long before your actual ascension takes place. If you really desire this accomplishment enough to hold uninterrupted harmony in your feelings, we can help you to this end. For I had such experiences before my own victory was attained. O dear hearts, could you but know that each of you is constantly held within an aura of our personal God-protection and loving care! If you consciously realize and accept this gift of our love by turning your attention to us every so often during the day, we can cause it to act more readily and powerfully for you. There are times when I sincerely wish the great cosmic law would allow us to remove the veil of unbelief from all mankind by permitting them to have even one glimpse of the magnificent Ascended Masters and angelic realms of Light, which are so real - the exquisite colors, soul-stirring melodies, and joyous expressions of pure Divine Love that manifest there. Were each lifestream to be able to see such God-splendor even once, it should satisfy that one's consciousness for all eternity that the will of God for all is good and that in the acceptance of and loving cooperation with his will they can be safe at last from every human bondage. Believe me when I say to you from personal experience that the truly indescribable perfection that we enjoy is worth every effort you have ever made to serve the Light in the appearance world; it is worth every so-called sacrifice of the human you have ever made or ever will make to attain your eternal victory. Keep yourselves in tune with your own beloved I AM Presence and with us, maintaining a consciousness of Divine Love and harmony at all times. Do not allow your attention to be side-tracked by the manifestations of this world, by the threatening and discordant appearances of error. I tell you that one day those individuals who create discord or consciously allow it to express in their worlds shall truly regret it, especially those who profess to love and serve the Light. Such individuals will spend many an hour earnestly calling on the law of forgiveness; but it may be in the etheric retreats after they have missed the opportunity to make their ascension following their soul's transition from this earth life. Regardless of the name of the activity through which our unascended Messengers may be serving us to the best of their ability in the world of form, those who, unfortunately, spread gossip and discord about our best servants will some day find the tremendous momentums of Light and Love from these lifestreams to be a mighty guiding beacon to show them the way Home. Thus does the Law act, finally returning all the sheep to the one Shepherd, the glorious I AM Presence. Often the greatest Lights of this world are completely unknown to most of the humanity they so selflessly serve, their service often going unrecognized until long after they have gone to their heavenly reward. There is really no need for you to experience distress of any kind because of the progression and expansion of God's Light within you or the world when from time to time it becomes necessary for the ascended hosts to widen both the borders of God's kingdom and the channels he provides to sustain such service through you. One day all shall see and know Truth as we do and they shall see that the threefold flame of Divine Love, Wisdom and Power, each plume having given its specific service, will have blended together to manifest the oneness of the source of that flame - the white light. Within the last twenty-five years the Great White Brotherhood has endeavored to activate and release the blue plume of the law, the faith and the God-power, perfection and protection through the Messengers, the dictations and the students of the I AM Activity, which beloved Saint Germain brought to the attention of mankind, giving me and beloved Lotus the opportunity to serve therein. Was it not the logic of the Logos itself to first bring forth the blue plume in order to lay a strong foundation in the will of God, precept by precept? Next came the widening of the scope of that service through the dispensation of the Bridge to Freedom, whose purpose through its Messenger was to expand the golden plume of illumination by releasing much wisdom of the Law that had never come to earth before. As the threefold flame now completes its circle of divine service through the action of God's forgiving love in that which is yet to come forth in the services and Christ-teachings of the Lighthouse of Freedom, all shall see and understand the quite natural and orderly sequence of these three expressions of the I AM knowledge. Now I say, Beloved Mighty I AM Presence of all unascended lifestreams! Let this blazing threefold flame expand within every heart, taking its dominion in, through, and around the entire consciousness, being and world of all children of the Light, fulfilling its divine purpose of absorbing completely (and transmuting as it absorbs) into its eternal, unfailing Light - the human consciousness of limitation. Always your Ascended Master friend and ever-loving brother of Light, I AM GODFRE RAY KING (The Ascended Master Daddy Ballard) This instruction comes to you through the loving courtesy of the Ascended Masters' Darjeeling, India, council of which all the ascended host are members. Formulas for Supply: Referring to the idea of tithing mentioned last week, we all understood it to mean the putting aside rhythmically (daily, weekly, etc.) of at least ten percent of one's income, to be applied to the sustaining and expanding of some avenue or channel of God's Light, Love, and Truth. Is this such a strange or unusual thing to do? At this time of harvest, does not the wise and successful farmer choose from his crops a certain amount of the very best seed that he may use it for his next rhythmic planting? To return rhythmically to the Giver of all life that which will multiply and expand his blessings throughout his creation brings tremendous increase after its kind. Do you not enjoy receiving your supply rhythmically? "[Rhythmically and] freely ye have received; [rhythmically and] freely give!" Jesus.

These lovely words are engraved in the stone over a doorway of the Union Station post office in Washington, D.C. How wonderfully descriptive they are of the transcendent services of postal departments all over the world, wherever mankind enjoy the blessings of such service. As Chohan of the First Ray it is at least a part of my very reason for being to direct and protect - whenever and wherever possible (for, you know, mankind have free will) - the governments of the world and those who serve them; also to sustain and expand goodwill, God's will, to all. My beloved unascended chelas who are embodied here at this time I know will wholly agree with me when I say that goodwill is needed everywhere on the planet earth today! Therefore, being so vitally interested in every department of governmental activities, is it not but natural that I should desire to give this particular channel of public blessing my personal radiation, especially at this Christmas season, when they have such added opportunity actually to assist in expanding the light of the world? First of all, I now personally bless with the sustaining radiation of my divine Light and love all the constructively qualified energies of those whose minds received and accepted the inspiration of the above words, then recorded them for others to enjoy. This blessing I also charge into the lifestreams of those workmen who engraved those words upon the stone, wherever all those lifestreams may be today. This gift I also expand so that it becomes a permanent God-blessing to all who serve the postal departments throughout the world. Into these words I also charge Ascended Master understanding from our octave that they may be able to illumine all mankind much more quickly concerning the oneness of all life. For Life itself is God in action everywhere! Such a consciousness of unity allows the release into your world of the treasures of heaven from ours and brings about the healing of the wounds of hate, thus increasing mankind's good and common wealth, which is God's will (goodwill) for all. Now, in connection with our Pearls of Wisdom, which have recently become so much a part of the blessings carried by the postal service everywhere, taking the first line of the above words - "Messenger of sympathy and love": Let us consider our Pearls as messengers of compassion (which we know to be a much better word to use than sympathy, which by its very composition means "with suffering"). Truly do human beings who live within the darkness of their own shadows need the radiation into their worlds of our feelings of Divine Love and compassion - and such blessings only we can give! Only by this help from our octave can such assistance come to the earth. For do you not see that we of the ascended host actually have become that Love ourselves - through our victorious accomplishment of the ascension, which is the divine goal for all life and the reason for all physical embodiment? "Servant of parted friends": In their rhythmic weekly release our Pearls enable all our gracious readers to keep in constant, current touch not only with us and our loving assistance to them, but these little Pearls of Wisdom also bind together all such lifestreams who seem to be separated physically from each other by the miles. (Of course, there is never a separation in the consciousness of Divine Love anywhere in the universe!) In this way there is builded a greater awareness in each individual of the truth that we are all one in our common bond of loving interest and service to life. Such a consciousness also allows us to release to all life here our practical help as tangible comfort and constant watchful care of and to all who will accept us and our companionship. For once you have accepted the reality of your own beloved I AM Presence and us, you are never alone but are all one with God again! Mankind's conscious acceptance of us also gives us the opportunity to release from our side of the veil the wisdom and authority which enables us all to build together the permanent golden age for this earth. "Bond of the scattered family": Presently our Pearls are being sent to blessed lifestreams all over the world, not only all across the United States and Canada but to Mexico, Europe, Africa, Australia, and many other places. Thus they act as a living bond to my scattered family of goodwill and carry my personal radiation of the quickening vibrations of God's will anchoring and expanding hope, faith, strength, courage, and power to accomplish everywhere they go. "Enlarger of the common life": Bear in mind here too if you will, please, that to my personal blessing to our chelas through the Pearls there is added the personal assistance and blessing of my own divine master, the Great Divine Director, those of the mighty Elohim Hercules, as well as those of the beloved Archangel Michael. Around each copy of these Pearls these great beings establish a part of their radiation of living fire, which contains their consciousness of mastery. You might be amazed at times were you to be able to see how this radiation often changes the most seemingly barren life to a more productive one, one which is of greater service to all the life it contacts. Just so do our little Pearls going forth each week through the channels of the postal service bless and expand the humble offerings of service from the lives of many "common" people in those channels, making thereof a divinely ordered service of great magnitude, although the lifestreams so blessed may be wholly unaware that they are either receiving such a gift or are such an important part of our divine and eternal scheme of things. So in thinking of the postal department in the light of the Christmas season, just think of the thousands and thousands of delight-bringing packages and envelopes which will be physically handled, carried, and delivered by these "enlargers of the common life" who carry our words to you. Just think of the many children's eyes which will shine at the opening of packages as well as the comfort and gladness which expands everywhere at this season because mankind's thoughts and feelings go forth in love from heart to heart. So should it be every day of the year! Beloved chelas, have you any idea just how much goodwill you could and should constantly expand not only at Christmas but all through the year, which would actually expand the light of the world? This can be done by your consciously charging all your incoming and outgoing mail with a blessing of God's goodwill to all, asking me and all those who serve upon my ray to add our blessings to yours, commanding that our flame and consciousness of the purifying power of Divine Love shall instantly and constantly transmute every shadow in their entire beings and worlds, replacing it by that invincible Christ Light, an anchorage of which abides within every beating heart and makes of every illumined one a true lighthouse of freedom. Before closing I would call your attention to the lovely birds who were first created for use by the Ascended Masters as their messengers of Divine Love and grace. To this day there are those still interested in the carrier, or homing, pigeon, which in the past was often used to carry messages from one to another. Even today there are those who, as a hobby, enjoy experimenting with the intelligence, speed, endurance, accuracy, and ability of these birds to render such service. You will remember that Noah sent forth a dove from the ark; and when it returned there again bearing in its mouth the olive branch{23}, which is symbolical of peace, it brought the rejoicing of hope to their hearts. One of the living signs of the permanent golden age to the earth will be the olive branches of peace, surrounding a white dove representing purity and comfort, this dove descending in Light. When you see this sign in outer physical manifestation in the world of form, you will know then that enough peace and goodwill is manifesting on earth to herald the more evident manifestations of the permanent golden age, into which we have just entered. In that day shall the knowledge of the Lord (law of God, goodwill for all) cover the earth as the waters cover the sea{24}. Until then we of the ascended and angelic host most joyously continue to assist the earth and all her evolutions, wherever and whenever possible - flooding forth the fullness of our divine love, comfort, and wisdom to all, but particularly to you, our gracious readers and family of Light unascended, for you do accept us and our gifts. We know that by divine law your and our combined activities shall enable our dear earth eventually to become a beautiful, blazing home of Light, one of the lovely mansions of the Father's house{25}, at last occupying her rightful place and service in the solar system. Even though the earth is one of the smaller of the planets of her system, yet in her purified state can she manifest such blessings as did the little town of Bethlehem, into whose care was given the most precious of God's gifts - the living Christ. Here on this earth shall this precious gift be honored and received by all, for that living Christ is the I AM, the Light of the world! Ever-living Christmas blessings to you all - EL MORYA KHAN - Vondir!

No. 19 - Saint Germain - December 19, 1958 Communion with the Three Wise Men and the Sealing of the Chelas in Saint Germain's Purple Fiery Heart by Saint Germain "Merge Consciousness with that of the Three Wise Men" To our gracious readers dedicated to love's service to the World Around - Our Beloved Saint Germain Speaks Most lovingly do I greet your dear spirits as they meet with mine in the turning of your attention (which is your life) to my words herein. With my own I bring you the loving greetings of all the ascended ones who are serving with us in the freeing of your dear earth today. These greetings are not just words but take the form of an actual release of our life-essence into your individual worlds; they are the vital fires of our Divine Love and the gathered momentums of some specialized God-virtue of perfection that enabled us to achieve our personal ascension in the Light. As one of those so privileged to have been a part of that first Christmas, I turn my thoughts, as that season returns each year, to the old, old and yet ever-new pageant of that God-event: the birth of the Christ Child. The true Christmas story, however, is far more than a mere pageant. It always brings a vibrant, ever-living exaltation of spirit to any and all who will humbly and gratefully take a few moments to fix their attention upon the realization of its symbology; for the Christmas story must one day take place for every one of the presently unascended children of Light of earth. Christmas, and each succeeding celebration of the Christ Mass, is the conscious release of the Christ-nature of and through the supplicant into visible, tangible expression within the heart. Allowing the Christ-self to radiate its full power of masterful Divine Love through the outer form and consciousness (personality), the soul, one with that Christ-self, lifts and raises all it contacts. Thus is the Word, the I AM THAT I AM, become flesh, and thus it does dwell among us!{26} It is particularly important that you allow this Christ-release, that is most powerfully accessible at winter solstice, to be made manifest in your lives, beloved chelas, even as it is fundamental that by the continuous daily use of the violet transmuting flame you keep on keeping on in the purifying of your worlds until that Holy Christ Self (abiding within the immortal threefold flame of Truth within your beating heart) stands forth visible and tangible to all who look upon you. Then shall you be known by your works, as was the beloved Jesus, and not by words alone{27}. Then shall your outer self become a divine magnet to draw into our light whom you can so mightly assist. The Three Wise Men - all of whom are now ascended: Melchior, beloved Morya; Balthazar, beloved Kuthumi; and Caspar, beloved Djwal Kul, better known perhaps as "the Tibetan" - were those illumined lifestreams who followed the still, small voice within, the promptings of their Inner Christ Presence. This divine wisdom drew them, each one, from their comfortable and accustomed abodes in various parts of the Orient to embark upon a solitary journey through dangerous and bandit-infested mountain passes and lonely desert wastes until they converged at the same place at the same (right) time. They came not only to pay loving homage to beloved Jesus, who was to become the King of kings - that is, the key to the incarnation of the Word who is God - of the Piscean age but also to give certain necessary spiritual radiations which were to bless the Holy Family at that and a later time. Although the Wise Men brought their costly as well as symbolical physical gifts, far more important were their gifts of subtle and unseen radiations which they, as masterful instruments, delivered from God on high to our newborn Son, the radiations of the Holy Trinity - and of Faith, Hope and Charity. In addition they bestowed upon him the full-gathered momentums of the Good of their own causal bodies, which they then freely offered to the Christ, Jesus (i.e., the Holy Christ Self of Jesus) - that he might later use in his magnificent ministry to all life. The enigmatical star of the East was a focus of the Light of beloved Jesus' own I AM Presence, which manifested at his birth as a star made visible to the sight of those on earth. It acknowledged the coming of Jesus' lifestream into physical embodiment, thus allowing his tremendously illumined consciousness to blaze its Light into the hearts and minds and souls of all the evolutions of this world. As that Light increased ever more powerfully throughout his early years and then expanded with Christic intensity through his glorious ministry, it permanently raised not only mankind and the elemental life evolving here but even the atomic substance of the planet itself into a better and more en-Light-ened way of life. It is an axiom of cosmic law that one becomes that upon which his attention is fixed. Knowing this, let our conscious chelas be willing to give a little time each day, especially during the Christmas season, to the contemplation not only of the coming of Jesus' lifestream into the world but also to the coming of those selfless, faith-filled and willingly obedient sponsors of the Christ Child in him and all Sons of God, the Magi. In so doing let our chelas in such union of thought and feeling, their eyes fixed one-pointedly upon the star of their own beloved I AM Presence, actually merge their consciousness with that of the ascended Jesus Christ and the Three Wise Men now ascended. This communion with the saints will do much to hasten the eternal victory of each one who is willing to enter their wise dominion of consciousness applied to daily affairs. Today I am calling to our beloved Holy Amethyst, twin flame of beloved Zadkiel, Archangel of the violet fire, to flood your entire beings and worlds now and all ways with her feeling of that forgiving, healing love which is the very nature of the violet fire itself which she truly embodies. Moreover, today my own beloved Portia, Goddess of Justice, and I seal each one of you within a beautiful and sizeable focus of our purple fiery heart, the thoughtform and symbol of our heart chakras which we often use when assisting our chelas. You may abide in this purifying, protective focus of the auric emanations of our masterful love until the victory of your ascension is complete. Living therein, you will experience more and more divine justice in your worlds, enhanced by your daily violet flame decrees transmuting the karma of all injustice, and you will enjoy complete freedom from the unjust, hence unnecessary, distresses of the human consciousness. Thus shall your way be made easier, happier and much more God-successful in all you undertake. Stop right here and just for a moment try to feel the reality of these gifts which we have given you today and which are yours for all eternity. For they shall surely tangibly manifest for you whenever your outer self will fully accept them. These gifts are as real as life itself and far more precious than any things of this world you might receive. Besides, as you claim them, our gifts, which are of the eternal Spirit, shall remain with you forever to expand and expand and expand! Consciously call forth, acknowledge, affirm and acclaim this purple fiery heart and visualize it around yourself as well as around all whom you think of or contact. Abide there in our comforting violet flame of Cosmic Christ Peace and that complete trust and rest which comes with the realization of the omnipresence of Divine Love watching over you and yours every hour not only at Christmas but all through the years to come. I AM your ever-present and unfailing friend of the ages - The Ascended Master Saint Germain This instruction comes to you through the loving courtesy of the Ascended Masters' Darjeeling, India, Retreat of God's Will, of which all the Ascended Masters are members. Beloved and Gracious Reader: At this dear season of the year We're grateful for your presence here, Helping us expand on earth The Light in all, as their Christ-birth. And as we give to all the others (Friends, associates, parents, brothers) Let's not forget our gift to give To Him - who showed us how to live! Our gratitude to Him is shown By his God-Truth which we've made known To all the rest of the sons of men That living so, they shall be free again! A very Merry Christmas to you all - from our staff! ****** Chapter 20 Jesus Christ - Christmas 1958 - My Gift to You of My Own Understanding of Life and Its Victorious Consciousness ****** Vol. 1 No. 20 - Jesus Christ - Christmas 1958 THE SUMMIT LIGHTHOUSE OF FREEDOM Charges Forth Herewith Its Radiant Beams Which Manifest As "PEARLS OF WISDOM" To Our Gracious Readers Dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our Beloved Jesus Speaks: My Gift to You of My Own Understanding of Life and Its Victorious Consciousness Blessed Hearts of Love, My personal Christmas gift to you this year is my own understanding of Life and its victorious consciousness. This, of course, is the supreme power of the Godhead that overcomes all appearances and conditions of this world. It is God's will for you, and certainly my earnest desire, that you too should possess this God-understanding, this God-consciousness, of your true being. The comparatively simple life experienced by your forefathers has given way today to a much more complex organization, called by some "modern" society. Most scientists and teachers as well as the scholars of the day believe that life on earth has changed greatly, especially during the last few decades. And so it would appear to the outer-sense consciousness of mankind. Now let us see if this is really so! Right here and now I ask you to still your outer self, becoming as quiet as you can in body, mind, and feelings. Then direct your attention to my All-Light form (i.e., the Electronic Presence of the Master), which I place in the atmosphere above you even as you read my words. Do me the honor of letting me give to you my own victorious consciousness over everything of this world and my feelings of joy in so doing. If you will really do this you will begin to realize what I mean when I say that nothing in this world has really changed insofar as its inherent nature is concerned. You will also realize the exact meaning within this gem of truth: The I AM is the same yesterday and today and forever. The inherent meaning is continuity of being through the Presence of God with us throughout all time and space and eternity. Therefore you, too, can say, "The I AM THAT I AM of me, my own Great God Self, is the same yesterday and today and forever: therefore the I AM that I am here below (the Real Me who I AM, as Above, so below) being the soul sent forth as the reflection of that Great God Self, is also the same yesterday and today and forever. And when my soul is become the bride of my Holy Christ Self in the alchemical marriage, then it will be said of me, as it is said of my Elder Brother: `Jesus Christ, the same yesterday and today and forever!' " Some of you are familiar with the working of the iris of the eye; just as the shutter of a camera admits more or less light to register on the film, so the iris expands to admit more light to the retina. Now, has anything really changed by the mere opening and closing of a shutter, or the iris, to admit more light? Surely not! So it is when there is an opening of the shutter of your consciousness; you permit yourself to now behold what was there all the time, simply waiting for your decision to open your eyes and see by the greater light you allow into field of vision. Take electricity, for example; it is but one channel, shall we say, for the release of God's energy. Once it was "rediscovered" in this century (as it had been used in other times), once it was accepted and used, it became and still is a blessing to your "modern" world. However, electricity has always been. And the fact that for many centuries mankind were unaware of its existence does not mean that electricity ceased to be, nor does it mean that the scientific principles governing its use have ever changed. However, when electricity was harnessed for mankind's use, in most cases appearances in the physical world did change for the better because people had a more illumined sense of their surroundings. Then, too, has not the gift of electricity shed more light upon the world? And along with it has not the mind become more enlightened? You see, one's attention has much to do with the expansion of consciousness. One's awareness of life corresponds to the focus of one's attention and upon who and what that attention is fixed. One may enter a garden and, being interested in a single rose, he may fix his attention so powerfully on that rose that he will see nothing else; whereas another may enter the garden and see it all at a glance taking in the whole rather than a part by the mere adjustment of the lens of the eye and mind. Thus the attention - what one wants to know or doesn't want to know - determines what one sees in life. Thus it is my victorious consciousness and feeling about Life that I desire so much to give you today. I would have you have it for your constant practical use until you attain your own soul's ascension into the Light of the I AM THAT I AM. This is the same victorious consciousness and feeling I used in my final incarnation of the Word whereby I overcame the world! And just such a victorious overcoming as was mine is the divine destiny of every lifestream belonging to earth's evolutions still unascended. Therefore, regardless of present appearances to the contrary, please believe me when I say that this victory is possible for everyone! And it is much more than merely possible for you, beloved ones, who are reading my words and who have the opportunity of consciously accepting the radiation of my Light, which I shall continue to release through this worded matrix to all who will ever read my message. "Be still and know that I AM God" and that the I AM of me - the same yesterday and today and forever - is able to raise each one to his own Christ Self, crying, "Abba, Father." This Light that I pour through my words into the waiting chalice of your attention is my very Life, my very Consciousness! Take, eat, for this is my Body and my Blood. And thus I, Jesus, serve Holy Communion to my own. Inasmuch as I have ascended to the heart of the Master Presence of All Life (as you, too, shall one day do if you set your sights upon ascension's goal), if you accept this Master Presence that I have become and if you will accept it with my victorious consciousness and feeling that I impart to you now, you will begin to realize the promises of God for your lifestream each and every day of the rest of your life - for I, Jesus, decree it so. Following your initial acceptance of the Master Presence of all Life that I AM, you must give a few moments of acknowledgment daily, wherein you reconfirm your acceptance, by your own victorious consciousness and feeling, of my Master Presence with you. Then claim that Presence as your own with these powerful words that I shall affirm with you: By the victorious consciousness and feeling of the Ascended Master Jesus Christ and my own beloved Holy Christ Self, I AM the Resurrection and the Life of the Master Presence of All Life within me! And I AM giving conscious acceptance of the Light of Jesus the Christ, which is his very Life and Consciousness and which my Elder Brother is pouring into my waiting chalice now! And I accept all that HE IS, and all that I AM, yesterday and today and forever, fulfilled in my victorious overcoming - my soul's ascension in the Light of the I AM THAT I AM! If you will do this each day as you love all life free through my Sacred Heart, I, Jesus, promise you that my Light will constantly expand in, through and around your entire consciousness, being, and world until it has made you like me, the Master Presence of All Life. "Know ye not that a little leaven [of the Bread of Life] leaveneth the whole lump?" Remember always that the way of Victory and the way of Life is the way of the I AM! And I, Jesus, declare unto you that I AM that Way, that Truth and that Life, for I am that I AM! And so you shall be. I decree it. You see, the I AM is the individualized God Presence of each lifestream. And that I AM Presence is the Victory by its very nature! The Presence can never know anything but that Victory. For the I AM is of too pure eyes to behold or to contain iniquity (inequity or imbalance). And so your eternal victory is already yours, it always has been, and always shall be - the same yesterday and today and forever! For it is your divine birthright! It is that which you really are! The Real You has never changed! Your human appearances have changed as you have made your entrances and your exits on the stage of life, and your expressions have altered from day to day but the Truth of your Immortal God-Free Being remains the same. Therefore your victory is not something for which you need laboriously strive; for now you have the application of the merciful violet transmuting flame, which has been given to you so freely and lovingly (through the sponsorship of Saint Germain) for your limitless use, "without money and without price." Today by the grace of the violet flame, that is always ready and willing to serve you at your earnest call, you have a much easier road to travel back Home than many others who trod the spiritual path before you have had. Now you can be free from your karma so much more quickly if you will continue daily to purify your worlds to the best of your ability by the use of the violet flame. Then be sure to direct your energies constructively as you release them through thought, feeling, spoken word and deed; and hold to the understanding and the acceptance that my victorious consciousness and feeling is really yours. It is God's will for you that you have this glad, free gift of the full-gathered momentum of my victory. Therefore accept it right now for the restoration of your world to the original pattern of your perfect being, which is the Victory; for the I AM of you and of everyone who will so accept it is that Victory. The Father, the I AM THAT I AM, never changes! How strange it is that unascended mankind find this principle of victory and of the soul's victorious overcoming too simple, either to understand or to accept. Victory is simply being. Therefore the Victory of being is allowing your I AM Presence in its full perfection (remember, the Light of your I AM Presence is pouring into your outer form through the crystal cord with every heartbeat) to express God's Victory here below, untouched by the misconceptions and shadowed thoughts and feelings of your outer self. That outer self as a rule does not cognize the Truth but builds its concepts and opinions from the impressions it receives, which in turn are registered in the etheric body (the memory world). Victory, I say again, is simply being that which I AM and that which you really are! Believe with me and know that you can express the holiness (whole- "I"-ness) of your own "I" AM Presence. Is this not simple? But it is so powerful. For many a Christmas on this dear earth how very much have Christians overlooked this present possibility for individual Christ victory! Recently, in speaking about our Summit Lighthouse activity, someone spoke of the "rays" from our Lighthouse as being the "raise," or the "raising" of all life. That is exactly what this activity is meant to be - a raising of the consciousness of all life upon this dear earth into its God-destiny. Only God's Life, Light and Love are eternal. As has been said so often, these three are synonymous. And all three are the manifestation of Christ Truth within you. Therefore, if only Divine Truth is released by those who serve The Summit Lighthouse and if that service is given in Divine Love, then by cosmic law the expanding, multiplying power of the angels will increase this activity not only in numbers but also in Light's magnitude until it becomes a real Ascended Master channel for limitless good to flow to all the world. Then will the Lighthouse be seen by all, even as we see it now, "a city set on a hill, that cannot be hid ..." Let us say here that the hill represents the Rock of Truth upon which The Summit Lighthouse is founded; and the light rays that pour forth from its tower of faith are the Love-emanations of the Presence of God that deliver the healing Truth to all life. We judge by the effectiveness of a work, not by its size, particularly in its beginning. This Summit Lighthouse activity offers its blessings freely to all. Those who at this time seem unable to understand either its purpose or its message as well as those who will not accept its service - all receive its blessings freely given. And those whose love of self exceeds their love of divine harmony and of loving cooperation with our Messenger and staff to fulfill the Darjeeling Council's divine plan for the organization are likewise blessed. Now let me bless you and your world by flooding the atmosphere around you with the purifying and peace-giving fragrance of the rose (which symbolizes the chela on the Path) and with the fragrance of pine (which is the powerful essence of the Guru's protective substance). As I bless you, our gracious readers, as your attention is upon me today, I also expand this gift of my loving solicitude for your victory and freedom in the Light to reach the worlds of all souls of Light this Christmastide and throughout the new year. I AM your Elder Brother of Light, Ascended Master Jesus This instruction comes to you through the loving courtesy of the Ascended Masters' Darjeeling Council, of which all the Ascended Masters are members. ****** Chapter 21 Gautama Buddha - 12:01 A.M. - New Years 1959 - A Pure White Page in Your Book of Life ****** Vol. 1 No. 21 - Gautama Buddha - 12:01 A.M. - New Years 1959 A Pure White Page in Your Book of Life Our beloved Gautama speaks: Symbolizing the past year as though it had been a giant lighted candle which now, at the close of 1958, has transmuted most of its substance into the light it has radiated, I know that each of you, beloved chelas, is already looking hopefully toward the newly-lighted "candle" of the year 1959. As this New Year dawns, its new "candle" will be lighted by the Great Lord of Life from the flame of the "old" upon his sacred altar. As the flame of his divine fire of love early that day touches the wick (representing "hope") of the new "candle," that flame will reveal a pure white page in your book of life, as well as in those personal books of life of every lifestream embodied here! To all who are willing to accept the vision, this lighted page of the coming New Year offers every living soul new opportunities of divine love and hope, freely permitting each one to make thereof a "cornucopia-like" expansion of joy and peace in the practical use of all God's good, or, just the reverse - imposing upon those sheets of pure light-essence the shadows of discord which produce distress of mind, body, emotions, and affairs. Of course, we all understand that the cause of all human distress primarily comes about through the thoughtless and discordant use of life; through the release of thought, feeling, spoken Word and deed, as well as by the careless use of God's name - the creative Word "I AM." At the very beginning of this year, when hope's vision of health, happiness, and abundance of all good is obediently and expectantly awaiting fulfillment for each one, accept as being active for you now my decree - given with the loving confidence of the ascended host in the quick fulfillment thereof, that this year may practically bring into outer manifestation for each one all of the dreams, aspirations and constructive desires - especially for those of mankind who care enough about the welfare of the masses to serve our "Cause" - endeavoring to love life free from the many unfortunate impositions of distress which it has endured so long. From Shamballa, in the glory of this majestic dawn of 1959 (which is so full of promise for God's will to manifest to, for and through all men), I salute (and thereby permanently expand) your very own Christ-light. As the temple bells ring out this New Year's Day from our City of Light (Shamballa - over the Gobi Desert) their message is the joyful revealing to all the earth of the Father's gift of divine forgiveness! His forgiveness is not only a giving of the light-substance of his love in the place of all human shadows, but a complete forgetfulness of those shadows as well. As you have been told, at the close of each year between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day, the mercy of the Great Cosmic Law always allows a certain tremendous "mass" purification of earth's evolutions and atmosphere - the transmuting of all unintentional mistakes made during the past year. This is a "mass" forgiveness - freely offered and permitted, irrespective of mankind's conscious call therefor. In this way is so much energy set free which, unintentionally, had been imprisoned in discord - thus enabling the New Year to have a fresh beginning, with much greater opportunity for the quicker fulfillment of God's great plan of perfection. Is it not written: "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God ..." and is it not also written: "My grace (the use of the violet fire) is sufficient for thee ..."? Beloved ones, you who now desire to be radiant beams from the immortally beautiful lighthouse of freedom's divine friendship to earth's evolutions, accept my gift to you today - for it is real! It is a literal flooding forth into your world from mine of the golden substance of my feelings of God-peace. This will quiet your worlds of all the chaos of the human - if you will accept it rhythmically each day. Then, expanding that golden substance out through your worlds into the worlds of all mankind, through the earth and its atmosphere (for all life is one) - my peace shall first still and then transmute the energies of those restless and unhappy "forces," the radiations from which create a pressure of attempted opposition to light's service and its constant expansion. As you know, if allowed to remain and expand in the world of form, the radiations of such shadowed "forces" do much to delay, at least, the flowering of life's divinity from the bud thereof - which "budding divinity" abides within each beating heart. This "flower" is the lotus of God's pure love which should be allowed to reveal and express itself right here in your outer world of form, through the consciousness of those who have allowed themselves to be illumined thereby. You see, dear hearts - there is only one way of life - God's way - the "Way of (the) I AM" - walking the path of love in the light thereof. This is the true "middle way" - the perfect balance at all times of the expressions of the "inner spirit" and its outer expression, keeping the attention ever upon the fulfillment of one's divine plan. In my day I found the wisdom and the manifestations of perfection which are produced by this "walking of the middle way." This "Way" I walked, as, later, did the beloved Jesus and, of course, did all the ascended host who now permanently abide in our realms of light. As present Lord of the World, from the beautiful etheric city where I abide (Shamballa - City of Light) this New Year's Day I make the sincere call to the Holy Christ Selves of all belonging to earth's evolutions still unascended - in or out of embodiment: especially to those unascended brothers and sisters of the light who are our conscious chelas, serving the Great White Brotherhood in the world of form. I call your individual Holy Christ Selves to bring about from the outer self (personality) a re-dedication and re-consecration of your gracious gift of love and loyalty to the light and its "cause" of world freedom; daily expressing all through this year as the alert grasping of every opportunity which presents itself, through which the conscious knowledge of our reality, love and willingness to help can be expanded to the masses of the people. Such true consecration (without mental or emotional reservations of or for the self) enables us actually to form a body of Christ-light (God-in-action) made up of the life energies of our chelas - right here in the physical appearance world - such as has never been known upon this planet in thousands of years. This we need to be able quickly to perform the Christ-work of producing in outer physical manifestation - the seemingly "miraculous" healings of mind, body, and affairs. Such victorious accomplishments would create a mighty God-magnet of his invincible love which would draw the attention of all life here back to its own God-perfection again. May this glorious (and as yet untouched) New Year of 1959 bring about a transcendent illumination of God love and insatiable desire for his peace to all nations, so that our blessed Saint Germain may be able practically to show forth the glory of his freedom and, in answer to my constant call - establish God-peace in permanent possession of all the earth - therein, thereon and in its atmosphere! In the name of the Great White Brotherhood, accept today the simplicity but great reality of this message to you and let our love freely flow through you - thus manifesting God's will of all good to all the world. Lovingly - "I AM" Gautama ***** 21.1 Peace on earth ***** NOTE: Gracious readers - "PEACE ON EARTH ..." We've closed the gate on '58 - Now let it take its rest; All purified by violet fire - By recording angels blest. And as the light of '59 Comes shimmering into view - We vow to do the best we can To give it service true! One thing so needful is that each Shall hold his personal peace; For then shall reign Christ Brotherhood And wars forever cease! ***** Bibliography ***** [1] Volume 1, Number 2, footnote 2. Stigma of illegitimacy. Although Francis Bacon was raised the foster son of Sir Nicholas and Lady Anne Bacon, he was the unacknowledged son of Queen Elizabeth I and Robert Dudley, Lord Leicester, and was born four months after a secret wedding ceremony. Bacon, the author of the Shakespearian plays, revealed his true life story in ciphers he embedded in the original printings of the plays. Two systems of decoding these ciphers were discovered by cryptographer Dr. Orville W. Owen and Mrs. Elizabeth Wells Gallup in the 1890s. There have also been doubts about Jesus' birth. Assuming the accuracy of the report in Matthew that Mary was with child after she and Joseph were betrothed but before their marriage, prevailing customs of the day would not make that such an unusual situation. Betrothal at the time of Jesus legally effected a marital relationship as attested to in both the Old Testament and the Talmud. It was sealed when the husband-to-be paid the future bride's father or guardian a "bride price" as compensation for his loss. Thereafter she was in his power and considered him her "Baal," i.e., lord, master, husband. The betrothal could only be repudiated by a bill of divorce. If the woman lay with another man it was considered adultery. If the man died, the woman was considered a widow and subject to the levirate. Thus marriage and betrothal carried similar rights and responsibilities. Intimate relations by betrothed couples were not prohibited in Jewish scriptures. The Mishnah and the Talmud indicate that Palestinian Judaism showed considerable tolerance towards prenuptial unions in the era of the New Testament, and children conceived as a result were not stigmatized as "illegitimate" (William E. Phipps, Was Jesus Married? [New York: Harper & Row, 1970], pp. 39-40). =============================================================================== **** Footnotes: **** {1} "When the well's dry, we know the worth of water."
