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!

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).
