In the average human experience, there are all too few even tiny moments of "fragmentary" happiness in a whole embodiment and, of course, such moments become dearly cherished memories in the later lives of those to whom they come. Now - certainly - it does not require an illumined genius to be able to realize that such a state of affairs is not now and never was the intention of a heavenly Father who is all love - and who, in himself, is such a tender and solicitous expression of that love as few unascended can understand. It matters not whether one be a conscious chela of the ascended host; whether one be a student of some metaphysical "school of thought"; whether one be of orthodox belief or whether one understands anything at all of the laws of the universe or not! Deep in the heart of everyone - within the blazingly beautiful threefold flame of life itself which is anchored there, there lives a focus of the God-virtue of happiness - because, being one of the virtues of the Godhead itself, the desire for happiness is inherent within all life. From our Temple of Truth at Crete, as our Brotherhood there convened recently around our Council Table, there has come forth the determination to make a supreme endeavor during this new year to flood forth into, through and around humanity, all the evolutions of earth still unascended and the actual substance of the planet itself, our feelings and enjoyment of the golden flame of God-happiness. Remember, dear hearts - this flame is already God-qualified happiness from our octave of expression and can never be requalified by the human! This flame shall do its perfect work! Consciously let it into your worlds every day! Surely every sincere chela of the ascended ones knows full well that it is their desire - as true messengers of God himself - to have all life (not only the human but elemental kingdom as well) share this feeling of happiness universally. Every lifestream (spiritually illumined or not) is a member of the family of God's love. The expressing of human qualities has a similar effect upon the beauty of life's divine pattern as does the ruffling of the feathers of a bird - the beauty of its design is distorted. However, when God-qualities are expressed, the energies are in alignment with truth and the beauty of the divine pattern is revealed. So, we of the ascended host neither acknowledge the reality of nor give our power of attention to the unfortunate human qualities which sometimes seem to possess mankind, making them act in such a way as to bring their mistakes to the attention of all, through the front pages of your newspapers. In our dealings with all men - conscious chelas as well as those who have not yet acknowledged our reality or our service - we are only cognizant of that immortal threefold flame of eternal truth within every heart - its beauty and happiness presently held as a prisoner within the "shell" of human personality. Did you ever think of how much glamour the passing of time has cast upon the lifestreams of those who today are considered to be and worshipped as "saints" and "sages"? If you think about it a moment, they were not always so - for, in their imperfect and unascended state of consciousness, perhaps at times they did that which would not have been attractive to you at all. I tell you the truth when I say that it is the great mercy of life which prevents each of you from being aware of every past embodiment you have had which did not always express truth! Those who would exploit mankind often choose to favor them by revealing to them some glory from previous lives - but it is not our desire to deceive anyone. We speak only truth! Now, should it not bring you happiness to know of a certainty that if these Great Ones to whom we have referred have attained their victory you can? Now, beloved chelas - those of you who today are endeavoring to follow the light and love for its own sake - will consciously divest yourselves of "human" purposes and will endeavor daily to lovingly cooperate with the admonishment of beloved Jesus, beloved John and all the Great Teachers of real truth all through the ages: "Love one another." If suddenly there should occur an expansion of your consciousness so that you would be able to see as we do, the numbers of lifestreams in the world around you who are calling to Deity for help, you would quickly and clearly understand the great need of eliminating from your world all the pettiness of human affairs - taking thought only of the opportunities of the cosmic moment which is at hand, to do your best. This "best" is to serve only the light which can and shall set all life here eternally free! Therefore, beloved of our hearts - you who would be "arms of our Presence" in the world of form - representing our freeing and forgiving love to all life, let not the day go by without at least one conscious endeavor to expand our happiness to all. Make at least one being smile and, for all you meet, make life seem worthwhile! So do you consciously expand "the light of the world." "I AM" - radiantly yours - Hilarion Note: Gracious Reader! The staff of The Lighthouse of Freedom decrees for you and yours a most God-victorious New Year in 1959 - the best you have ever known in every way. May we offer you a few lines which, repeated often as a prayer - will do much to make it so: ***** 1.1 Prayer for improvement ***** My very own beloved "I AM" Presence - With a brand New Year before me - Let me do my very best With all my God-abilities, To bring life peace and rest. So let me live and serve all That, at the close of day - The life in all is happier Because I passed that way! Vondir to you all! ****** Chapter 2 Great Divine Director - January 16, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 2 - Great Divine Director - January 16, 1959 Our beloved Great Divine Director speaks: Deep in the heart of the African jungle, it is quite possible that a very beautiful diamond would be little valued by the natives there. Of course, since attraction to light is inherent within the life of all men, such lifestreams might admire its flashing brilliance, but to them it would be of small practical value in their everyday living. However, in the more "civilized" marts of the world, such a gem would be of tremendous interest, admiration and value, as well as being much sought after. Now, so much more valuable than a mere diamond (which, after all, is but the condensation of certain elements of this world that there is really no good comparison) is the divine destiny of every man - that glorious ascension in the light! You see, in the case of the native in the jungle, he values a precious gem so little because of his ignorance concerning its worth. Just so, today, the masses of mankind live in the jungle of their own darkened consciousnesses - most of which are almost completely filled with their own discordant thought and feeling forms - these constantly being created by them through the qualified release of their own life which beats their hearts as it flows unceasingly from that glorious "I AM" Presence - the source of their very being. Therefore, to the average individual in embodiment here, encompassed about as he is by the solving of the so-called "problems" of daily living, the transcendent idea of his ultimate God-freedom from every "problem" - the ascension in the light - is of little more immediate value to him than (than twice in original) the diamond to the native in the jungle - simply because he does not yet accept its worth. Do you see? Mankind en masse on this planet today know not from whence they came, why they are here or where they are going. Can you even imagine then, beloved chelas, how fortunate you are to have been told of the goal of the ascension, having been given our help to enable you to accept its possibility - keeping that possibility ever before you - as well as showing you the ways and means by which you may attain it? Then, too, at any moment you may have the loving, ready and willing assistance of those who have already attained, to help you also to achieve your personal victory! I assure you that the ascension in the light is a goal so magnificent that such tremendously illumined lifestreams as the beloved Gautama, beloved Jesus - and, even before their time - the great Zarathustra and Enoch of old - could and did give all they were and had (heart, soul, mind and strength) to the pursuit and attainment of this goal, until they had made it their own. The ways and means they used to accomplish such a victory certainly are most worthy of the attention, close study and even emulation by the wisest men in embodiment on earth today! When mankind suffer a damaging wound or desire counsel concerning the state of their physical health, do they not inquire of their friends as to the name of a reputable physician? Then, because of their confidence in such an one, they accept his diagnosis of the situation and suggestions as to how it can be remedied. Then, would it not be the part of wisdom and discretion too for every lifestream in embodiment here today (all of whom need such assistance - spiritual and otherwise) to be open-minded enough at least to consider the aspects of truth which we have presented to the world - so clearly explained and even reasonably logical to the outer mind? Mankind should be willing to consider and then accept these gifts - considering them from the heart (which, incidentally, will reveal truth to one if he will allow it do so), rather than from just the outer intellectual consciousness. Remember always! Everything done by the ascended host has a definite purpose behind that activity and, somehow, there must be a balance made for the energies expended by them in any project - preferably, of course, from those blessed by them. Now, while we are so very grateful for your interest in our endeavors and that you are willing to become "cups" of our assistance to mankind by receiving our radiation each week as it pours to you through your reading of these "Pearls of Wisdom," surely you must understand that, in return therefore (from your "side of the veil") the law requires that you do your part. That "part" is to so live daily in this world of form as, shall we say, to become miniature foci of our light and love, endeavoring to make of your personal worlds miniature lighthouses to all men. This would expand the light and love of our Presence, right wherever you are! Such foci in the world of form are so much needed today, adding as it were to the quantity of our light released here. Then, as you progress in expanded consciousness and greater release of light's powers, it would add to its quality also. So, beloved ones, I know you see with me that those of mankind who have accepted the reality and assistance of the ascended host should not think, feel, say or do that which would be out of keeping with what the Great Ones represent. Our blessed chelas who are taking their initiations in the outer experience world today should endeavor constantly to bring their worlds into such divine order that our mastery shows forth through them - in their daily living - even as you would be required to do were you to be taking your training in the retreats of the Great White Brotherhood. We have answered your every call and have given you every assistance your worlds would accept. We know you do treasure these gifts from us and, in return, will endeavor to give us your conscious acceptance and use of our help, to the practical freeing of your own worlds and those of your fellow man - until you come "home" to us - "to go out no more"! The time of the "unmasking" of truth is at hand! No longer shall the knowledge of its beneficent laws be held within the secret retreats of the Great White Brotherhood. Centuries ago, in speaking prophetically of today, our beloved Jesus said: "That (wisdom) which is done (held) in secret shall be shouted from the housetops (in a later day!)" We are now in that day - when all mankind shall be compelled to know the truth of their own being and be made aware of their divine destiny - which is the attaining of the goal of their ascension in the light! "O thou light of the ascension! Thou wondrous goal - the knowledge of which is now being offered to all and the possibility of its attainment by even the least in the kingdom of unascended mankind - today! Thou first and highest principle of the instruction released by the Great White Lodge! Let the day come quickly when neither man, woman nor child shall be in ignorance of thy transcendent service." I bless you with the fullness of my love! The Great Divine Director _________________________________________________ Note: Gracious Reader - "The Golden Rule" is really the wisdom of the law! So, musing in the radiance of a "Lighthouse Beam," fuller wisdom says: "To fill my world with God-success This year - I can do nothing less Than love, forgive and all ways bless - And Bless and Bless and Bless - Everyone, everything, everywhere!" ****** Chapter 3 El Morya - January 23, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 3 - El Morya - January 23, 1959 Our beloved Morya speaks: Constant and rhythmic is the beat of your blessed hearts - a sustaining service to your daily existence here, I am sure! The outer (personality) consciousness of mankind - so limited in scope - pays little or no attention, most of the time, to this beneficent service of his own heart, which really is the foundation of his very being here. Many individuals seem not even to be interested in listening to those who would reveal such truth to them - preferring rather to remain unwilling to admit more light (knowledge) into the shadowed recesses of their consciousness. So - rhythmic and constant as is your own heartbeat have the ascended masters stood - all through the ages - releasing to the outer consciousness of humanity (wherever and whenever possible) gigantic light rays qualified by their love and wisdom. These they have used, shall we say, almost as "crow-bars" of light, to pry open the darkened recesses of human consciousness, so that it eventually would admit the purifying love and light of God's will. Now, you all know that, particularly in the heavily populated areas of the world, there are so-called "slums," where the people live in much privation and suffering. You know, too, that those lifestreams who are determined enough to remedy such conditions often give their entire lives to that end. Such lifestreams are honored and revered for their service by the constructively-minded among mankind - this "honoring" often taking place during the span of their "natural" lifetime here. Should not, therefore, those who seek to serve the spiritual needs of mankind from a pure heart and motive (ascended as well as unascended) be most highly esteemed by all life and their assistance accepted and graciously used? In and by such service these bring to man the greatest freeing, purifying power and divine order of divine love which exists anywhere in the universe! Of course we know very well that there are much more infinite and transcendent powers of the Godhead presently being released and used in greater and more scientific activities than the particular present services of the Great White Brotherhood to earth's evolutions. However, may I suggest to unascended mankind that, at this particular time of a Planet's need for purification and the healing of manifold distresses, Cosmic matters are a bit outside the province and concern of Earth's people! Today mankind are but touching the fringe of magnificent scientific discoveries and interesting manifestations thereof which, to unascended mankind, seem phenomenal. However - let me ask you! Does one begin the study of geometry before having mastered simple fractions? Believe me when I say that it is most important (particularly for you who have offered to represent us in the world of form as arms of our presence to alleviate as well as completely remove the causes of humanity's distresses) to concern yourselves with the solving of your personal "problems" and those of your fellowman - which limit and distress you and prevent your having the peace and abundant supply of all good, which is God's will for you! Under these circumstances, do you not think it wise to leave the more weighty cosmic "problems" of the universe to those of us who are wholly free from every human limitation, and, therefore, have become fitted wisely to direct the destiny of the universe? Gracious readers! May I very gently (and sweetly, too!) ask you to turn your attention to and direct all the energies you can in calls to your own beloved "I AM" Presence and to us for the use of the most powerful action of the violet transmuting flame to remove the causes and cores of the "human problems" of earth's evolutions now - when the opportunity for such service is so great. We of the ascended host are so vitally interested in freeing all life here from every limitation and distress and we know that you, as our loyal chelas, are likewise vitally interested in the same "project." Unascended mankind stand today upon the threshold of such tremendous opportunity to experience God-freedom as has not been known on earth since time immemorial. To assist them to grasp and use such opportunity, we welcome your loving cooperation in these days. Our ascended-master light shines through many constructive activities which are sincere in their motives and endeavors to illumine and raise mankind. That same light blazes very brightly indeed now through our new "Lighthouse of Freedom!" "I AM" - Your Cosmic Co-server (The ascended master) MORYA EL _________________________________________________ (This instruction comes to you through the loving courtesy of the ascended master Darjeeling (India) Council, of which all the ascended host are members!) NOTE: Gracious reader - another "Lighthouse Beam" for you! "While my gaze is riveted - `I AM' - on Thee `on high' - Still let my feet be planted firm On earth - as days go by! So let me live in balance true - Serving both earth and heaven - That I let flow thy gifts to me Giving - even as I'm given!" ****** Chapter 4 Maha Chohan - January 30, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 4 - Maha Chohan - January 30, 1959 Our Beloved Maha Chohan speaks: The constant repetition of past mistakes comes about because of old habits of thought, feeling, spoken word and deed (the patterns of which are sometimes quite deeply enmeshed in your etheric body (memory world), and create discord and unhappiness for you today. These are but the outpicturing again in the world of form of old destructive etheric records from the past - momentums of imperfection which have been. After having started the journey back "home" by entering "the path of light," even the most zealous of our chelas often finds himself (or herself) experiencing a seemingly more than ordinary amount of unpleasant experiences in their daily life. These are but the reactions of those destructive etheric records for, when spiritual ambitions mount and the soul aspires to become more God-like, the added energies of light so drawn into the chela's world (in answer to his calls) must pass through his etheric body, thus energizing these destructive etheric records there. Then these records begin to manifest to the chela as unhappy experiences - coming to his attention in this way so that he will make the necessary application to the sacred fire to purify and balance them. So does he have the merciful opportunity to "make things right." You see, the human qualities of irritation, resentment, fear and a host of others which have been "buried" within the etheric body - in so coming to the surface for redemption may become the bane of the chela's existence, threatening to destroy his harmony and the manifesting of the God-nobility of his true nature which he is presently endeavoring so earnestly to develop, with the assistance of his own Holy Christ Self anchored within his beating heart. Unless these restless energies are quickly brought under the God-control of the Holy Christ Self and then purified by the violet transmuting flame, they must express themselves - for this is a natural aspect of the cosmic law of divine justice. However, at all times our chelas have full and immediate access to their own beloved "I AM" Presence and to us of the ascended host who, at their call so to do, are so willing to help the chelas "harness" and control such energies. I am calling this to your attention this week, right now - in the early part of this year, I am decreeing for each of you who will consciously daily accept it into your worlds and outer experience a glorious Christ-expansion of the light from within your own heart - which light (just as a little water dropped upon a hot stove instantly will turn into steam) can and will transform shadowed energies into divine love and purity - bringing my feelings of comfort into your own world as well as into the worlds of all you contact. Press onward and forward to your cosmic victory - which victory of light is already spreading its luminous presence everywhere. Please accept my blessing to you today - my feeling of the comfort flame. Let it flood now into the cause and core of every discordant appearance in your world. Hold your personal peace and uninterrupted harmony and see what my flame will do for you - in a very short time! Blessings and Love - 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 host are members!) NOTE: Gracious readers - again our beloved ascended ones and the staff of "The Summit Lighthouse of Freedom" do most sincerely thank and bless you for your rhythmic love gifts which enable us to "keep on keeping on" releasing "The Pearls of Wisdom" to you each week. You see, that rhythmic release is so comforting - for the "bills" arrive quite rhythmically - as you know! In the name of our own beloved "I AM" Presence and yours - we call to our beloved Fortuna - Goddess of Wealth! Bless our gracious readers without limit with the limitless abundance of all good from your dear hands and heart - now and always! We consciously accept this manifest today - with full power! ****** Chapter 5 Djwal Kul - February 6, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 5 - Djwal Kul - February 6, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers Dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our beloved Djwal Kul speaks: In many an Oriental rice paddy there stand blessed ones with feet bared and immersed in the chilly waters, as they endeavor to render their service which enables at least some of the teeming millions of lifestreams there to have their daily (and so much needed!) bowl of rice. These who do so serve enjoy to the full the warmth and comfort of the sun upon their bodies, all the while enduring the discomfort of the sun upon their bodies, all the while enduring the discomfort of the chilly waters which numb their lower limbs as they work. Now, as the light and warmth of the sun comfort the worker in the rice fields, so do many basic and elemental Laws of Life which have been revealed and accepted from all the great religions and philosophies of the world enable the average mind and consciousness to find certain peace and contentment - just in the considering of the simple aspects of Deity - i.e., the concept of heaven, God and his Son, the Saints and the Angels. However, as the lifestream begins to reach out for a more complete understanding of real truth (which begins to reveal to the seeker the expanding knowledge of Divine Law, as well as revealing the limitlessness of the realms of heaven and those who abide there), some of that "first born" happiness and spiritual elation which came with the first finding of truth may seem to take flight. This widening panorama - the increasing knowledge of truth; the necessity of bringing one's world into line with the Divine Law of balance and the limitless expanse of the realms above the human - all of this seems at times to "overwhelm" the new student on "The Path." After such a stretching of his spiritual vision, he is inclined to long for the simple "bowl of rice" - the primary ideas of just God, heaven and the angels which may have comprised his original consciousness of Deity in this embodiment. Now, beloved and courageous chelas of the Ascended Masters of Wisdom! Just know that such an experience in consciousness often comes about before full mastery is attained by the chela. It indicates (to some degree at least) that the student, having severed many earthly ties, has not yet found heaven's anchorage! Therefore, such an one may become entangled in the "mooring lines" of his new-found freedom in truth and, perhaps, some confusions in thought and feeling seem to manifest. Of course, in all true Ascended Master Instruction (especially in that concerning the "I AM" Presence which has been so freely and abundantly released to all who will accept it by your beloved Saint Germain for about a quarter of a century now), there is always a complete and God-satisfactory remedy available for every human ill and unhappiness. The remedy here lies in a more constant and complete attunement with the light of the Christ within one's own heart for, when so many of the outer friendships of the human seem to "fall away," the new-found friendship of the outer self with that Inner "Divine One" must be cultivated and nourished by the frequent, rhythmic attention of the outer self thereto. Perhaps - before his ascension - the full meaning of all the various and confusing doctrines of this world may never be made completely clear to the student, and, while it may take quite a bit of persistent "calling" on the part of the chela to find the answer to every question - yet one thing is very sure - there can no unhappiness or confusions abide where dwell the God-qualities which are naturally radiated by the Christ. Among these, Patience, Forgiveness and Forgetfulness of every human mistake are the very heart and being of Divine Love (God himself!). These God-qualities, of course, are naturally inherent within the Christ nature of every man and radiate from the consciousness of every lifestream who will allow them so to do - whether that individual be in a high place; whether he be the average "man on the street" or whether he be a simple "coolie" or peasant. The cultivating by you of more and more Patience (not only with one's self but with others of evolving life), as well as endeavoring constantly to have an understanding heart and be a comfort to all life, will make you both gracious and graceful in your expressions of daily living. Then will you be most willing consciously to call for the violet fire to transmute the causes and cores of all mistakes of yourself and others. This merciful violet fire sets all free from the pressures of energy qualified with criticism, condemnation and judgment, which energies, otherwise, may continue to build around them until, many times, that pressure alone may compel a repetition of the same mistakes. After all, none unascended are yet perfected, and true introspection of self - together with the use of the violet fire - will remove the habit of "judging according to appearances" from the chela's world. Thus does the seeker gradually become more and more master of life through the anchorage of his greater and greater attunement with his own Holy Christ Self and the Ascended Host. Before closing this message to you today, let me refer briefly to a very beautiful aspect of the returning to earth of the Ascended Ones, in answer to the calls of those who accept their reality and assistance. These Great Ones always - without fail - express their sincere and intense gratitude to the Source of their life which gave them their Ascension. Such releases of Divine Gratitude from their blessed selves remains in earth's atmosphere as great foci of their perfected consciousness - magnificent thought and feeling forms of blazing light. Then, as is the nature of the Ascended Ones' life and light, these continue to expand and expand their perfection to all. Now, gracious reader, will you too earnestly endeavor to produce, release and expand the God-momentums of your own lifestreams - so that everywhere you move you leave a permanent blessing of your light here - for all to enjoy! "I AM" - Your Friend of Ever-expanding Light DJWAL KUL (Also known as "The Thibetan") _________________________________________________ (This instruction comes to you through the loving courtesy of the Ascended Masters' Darjeeling (India) Council of God's Will, of whom all the Ascended Host are members.) NOTE: Gracious readers: So very often has our beloved Morya explained so patiently that it is the will of God for you (and all his children) to have all good - including the abundant supply of money. So - why not accept and enjoy this bounty, since it is your own? Ask yourself: "What is the size of the `cup' of consciousness which I daily present to the fountain of wealth for filling? Is it a thimble or a barrel?" You may have either, you know - it is all up to you! Think about this - it is very important to your financial freedom! What do you consider as being "a lot of money"? To some it will be one amount - to others something more than that would be desirable. Daily ask your blessed Holy Christ Self to expand your consciousness to accept and receive all you can possibly use to increase life's beauty and comfort! Our love to you - all ways! - The Staff ****** Chapter 6 Jesus Christ - February 13, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 6 - Jesus Christ - February 13, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers Dedicated to Love's Service the World Around Our Beloved Ascended Master Jesus Speaks: Blessed hearts - My "modern-day disciples"! "(The) `I AM' (is) the Open door (to all good) Which no man can shut!" Just as two thousand years ago the first speaking forth and practical use of My "I AM" statements were full of (to the human - MIRACULOUS) power, which worked even practical wonders in and through My sincere disciples, so today again will my understanding and use of the Creative Word "I AM" free your worlds from everything of limitation - especially from the snares and pit-falls of a "closed" consciousness. While it is true (and advisable too) that the chela on the "The Path" must be very discriminating as to what he allows to enter his mind and world (for it surely will produce there after its kind!), yet, at the same time, the alert chela will keep his mind open always to new aspects of Truth, by which his vision and experience world are not only enlarged but "raised" as well. For instance, you know that no one can put anything into a closed fist. The individual of "closed" mind and consciousness (admitting perhaps just one facet of Truth therein) may be likened unto a small child who is desperately clutching a handful of pennies. He is trying not to lose a single one - refusing from his parent a handful of dollars which might be offered him - saying that his hands are already so full that he can scarcely hold all his possessions! Surely this analogy need no explanation! Mankind today find themselves in the midst of numerous and very unusual spiritual opportunities because of the bringing forth to the outer consciousness of men in the experience life here the Sacred Truths formerly held in the retreats of the Great White Brotherhood. The knowledge and practical use of the "I AM" as the creative Word of Divinity, the tube of light and violet transmuting flame is now permitted to go forth openly to the people. These have been offered to the masses of the people over a period of years now and our "Pearls of Wisdom" are one facet of such teachings to the people. Those who will carefully and prayerfully read and use such teachings are fortunate indeed. These earnest chelas will even "read between the lines," shall we say, thus "tuning into" the vibrations and consciousness of the particular master who may be releasing his (or her) God-wisdom to such an one. Then, he, in the quiet of his own heart and room, can have anchored into his being and world the momentums of God-perfection through the power of radiation. Now, of course, some unascended consciousnesses are farther advanced than others as to their understanding of our reality. Therefore, perhaps but a few are aware that, as any individual reads the words of an ascended being (which are the one's very Life!) that Being is instantly aware of such attention upon him and sends luminous presence of himself to stand in the aura of that chela, radiating to him as much as possible of the true meaning and God-intent of his words. Sometimes, according to the need and spiritual advancement of the chela concerned, the master himself stands in the aura of the chela. At this time, certain of mankind may not find it easy to accept and believe this, turning away from our words in unbelief as they say within themselves (even though they may not voice it): "How can the master Jesus speak to me today - when he left this world in the ascension centuries ago?" However, even though such lifestreams may not accept my teachings now (just as they did not accept them when I gave them through a physical body two thousand years ago!) yet, because of the nature of the "times," when the cosmic law has decreed that "Now is the day when the knowledge of the Lord (Law of God - "I AM") shall cover the earth ...." these same lifestreams will one day soon eagerly and with gratitude scan and endeavor to understand and apply every word of that which is being offered today. Therefore, as you read my words, do you not see the glorious opportunity which is yours now - the same as of "old" - when, by giving my words your attention, I can and do charge into you consciousness my own feeling and power of the truth of the "I AM." After all, did I not state so long ago - "It is the Father (the ever-present one - knowing neither time not space) that doeth the work?" Is it not strange that mankind, who so earnestly are endeavoring to conquer outer space and visit other stars - just by the simple use of their God-given free-will are able to limit the Ascended Host of Light in their blessing to mankind - when we desire only to flood forth our feelings of Victorious accomplishment to those who need it so much? Yet, such is the case! Beloved ones - you whose consciousness is illumined to the place where you can and do accept us and our blessings - keep the door of your consciousness ever open to the recognizing and receiving of the power of divine love - expressing it yourselves in every action of daily living. It is the power that sets you free from every oppression, giving you that joyous and masterful feeling of overcoming everything human, replacing it by all that is divine. Remember! The practical use of Divine Love can do the "humanly impossible." Some time ago one of my devotees wrote a book called "Love Can Open Prison Doors" and the daily practical use of Divine Love by him to that end did work that "miracle." Your attention is your life - which "Life" is the life of your very own God-Self, your Beloved "I AM" Presence flowing through you - that which gives you consciousness! Your attention turned to your own Beloved "I AM" Presence, as well as to the Ascended and Angelic Hosts, is the open door to your heart and world, through which we may pour our good of every description. Again - I say: "(The) `I AM' (is) the open door (to all Good) which no man can shut!" Lovingly I enfold you in My Victory of Light! (The Ascended Master) JESUS _________________________________________________ (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: Gracious reader! If you had a friend in physical embodiment who possessed great wealth and - mind you - was willing to share it all with you - how long would it take you to accept that gift? Well, two thousand years ago, our Beloved Jesus said: "... I have called you friends ..." and "all that the Father hath given unto me give I unto you ..." (St. John 15:15-16). Do you believe that? If you do - you will act upon it and prove it true - right now - today! Will you try? Let Beloved Jesus prove his words true - personally for you! ****** Chapter 7 Gautama - February 20, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 7 - Gautama - February 20, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers Dedicated to Love's Service the World around - Our Gracious and Beloved Gautama Speaks: The gift of memory is a blessed gift indeed from the all-knowing mind and heart of our loving Creator; yet how much gratitude arises from unascended mankind to the Source of all Life for that gift? Of course, we realize that, from the standpoint of mankind's experiences in the world of form, much of that which receives his almost constant attention would better be completely forgotten. Therefore, it is quite understandable to our illumined and therefore merciful consciousness that mankind should desire to escape from remembering the unhappiness caused by the shadows of human creation. The blessed God-gift of sleep is such a boon to the weary flesh, as well as to the mental and feeling worlds of any unascended lifestream for, if the consciousness is even temporarily freed from that which holds it bound to the earth and its unfortunate astral plane (the accumulation of human discord which surrounds it), the individual - going out in the etheric body while the physical form sleeps - is enabled to contact the higher realms of light above the earth. Thus, for at least a short period during each twenty-four hours does the lifestream experience some respite from the pressures and radiations of shadowed substance and energy. Such release and relief is particularly available to our conscious chelas on "the Path" who know of the ascended and angelic hosts and their ability (as well as loving willingness) to escort the soul - while the physical body rests - to those realms of light's perfection where they may renew their consciousness of truth - their unity with God! Within your own blessed etheric bodies (memory worlds) abides that God-gift of eternal divine memory - a most previous gem of light - much more valuable and precious than any jewel in the outer world. Therein is eternally registered the reality of you - that divinely majestic and exquisitely beautiful I AM Presence with which you had conscious unity in the beginning of your individualization - in all its God-freedom. This is the "immaculate concept" of you - that which is held for you by your own Holy Christ Self (the Silent Watcher of your individualized lifestream). It sustains that pattern of perfection as a mighty magnet which, when allowed so to do, will draw every electron of your lifestream back into God-perfection again - in the victory of your ascension. Now, beloved ones, will you please call often to your own beloved I AM Presence and to me to help you restore to your outer mind this eternal divine memory? Such a revelation of the beauty and full perfection of the real you would do so much to encourage you to use that violet transmuting flame constantly (with intensified specific intervals at least three times each day). Certainly this would help to fill your present days and those ahead with the joy and light of that Presence! Such perfection of your lifestream has manifested - therefore it can and shall manifest again! As you continue earnestly in your calling for it to appear - you must be answered! You must receive that for which you call - thus bringing you closer and closer, even in outer expression, to your light-pattern of perfection - in the Eternal Now. Let me also suggest here that you remember that all-important gift which you likewise have received from our Father of all Good - the gift of a "divine forgettery" (shall we call it?) - the "Sea of Forgetfulness" into which everything human should be daily cast. This is the graciously-given, limitless use of the violet transmuting flame which, simply by raising the vibratory action of everything It contacts, just silently, mercifully and gently (yet powerfully) lifts that substance into a vibration which manifests as Light - that Light from which and from whence it came. Is not God's way of mercy and forgiveness an easy way to set one's self free? Then, after having so used this violet fire for this service, ask your Holy Christ Self to help you close the door against ever remembering such unhappiness again, by removing the etheric records thereof from your etheric body (memory world). Ask that these be replaced by some good you desire made manifest - for instance, a replica of your own "immaculate concept." Will you try this? I shall be so happy to help you if you will. Consciously accept my gift of love to you today - my assistance to your bringing forth again into outer physical action, that blessed God-power of your lifestream - your eternal divine memory. Will each of you, gracious readers, do me the honor of reading this "Pearl" at least twice daily during this coming week? Thank you! Blessed be the name of that God-memory of Light's immortal perfection! "I AM" - Gautama ("The Lord of the World") _________________________________________________ Note: Gracious reader! Once again it is our joy and opportunity to acknowledge with sincere gratitude your kind generosity which is helping us to sustain and expand this service of the Ascended Ones to you and all life. All that you have given shall return into your hands and use, amplified without limit, as that which makes all the rest of your journey here easy, plain, successful and perfect at all times!

Vondir! - The Staff. ****** Chapter 8 Kuthumi - February 27, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 8 - Kuthumi - February 27, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers dedicated to Love's Service the World Around: Our Gracious and Beloved Kuthumi speaks: From time immemorial have the harrassed (and often bewildered!) consciousnesses of unascended mankind thought of, longed and prayed for a "utopia" upon this dear earth - an era of all-pervading Christ peace as the master Presence, authority and activity of all life evolving here! Such an outpicturing of God-perfection was manifest on earth in the beginning of her creation and, during the first two golden ages, was sustained and expanded as you have been told - so perfectly that all of those embodied here at that time (known as the "The Holy Innocents") completed their earthly journey and gained the victory of their ascension. Now, a great deal of that which men call "time" has elapsed since such perfection was extant here but, today has the great Cosmic Wheel turned to the place where such perfection must come to earth again, this planet recently having entered "The Seventh Age" (the new and permanent golden age). This "Age of Peace" is now coming in, regardless of all chaotic appearances and conflicts manifesting today, individually and collectively, whose effects bring such suffering to life. The transcendent blessings of this Seventh Age are being made possible for the earth and all her evolutions today mainly by the gift of the violet transmuting flame with its infinite power of merciful forgiveness and healing through transmutation. The constant use of that glorious, beneficent friend of unascended life here can bring only the most exquisite and soul-satisfying peace. You see, the desire for peace is naturally inherent within all life, for peace is one of the God-virtues and, while it seems to be such a gentle manifestation of Divine Love - yet is it one of the most powerful! When true peace is felt by any individual or group, that peace cannot be disturbed, for such true peace is that which beloved Jesus embodied and spoke of as "that which surpasses understanding of the (human) mind ..." The Cosmic Fiat has been sent forth from those who govern the spiritual destinies of this planet and from the sun itself: "The earth must emit more light!" and peace is one of the manifestations of light. To that end, therefore, the earth and all her evolutions are passing through a period of tremendous purification and the present conflicts which seem to abound everywhere between individuals as well as among nations are but the stirring up of old destructive etheric records of past enmities and shadowed substance, qualified with misunderstandings and violence from the past. These are brought forth for balancing and redemption and those among mankind who are so fortunate as to know how to transmute these into light again by the use of the violet transmuting flame now have opportunity to do so. With no desire whatsoever on my part to impose upon our gracious readers a feeling over-responsibility, let me say that once one knows of the law of the "I AM" and its tremendous gifts which can be called forth to bless life, the responsibility for such chelas to use them constantly is very great! Said the beloved Jesus: "If ye know these things - happy are ye if ye do them!" Remember? Now, this does not mean that anyone should become fanatical in any way in their use of the law - just sitting down somewhere all day long, endeavoring to apply it. No! All the while one is taking care of the things of this world which require his attention, the alert chela will be ever mindful of opportunities to use this violet flame (which opportunities present themselves every hour of the day); living, moving and having his being with that flame himself, as well as calling it into action in, through and around persons, places, conditions and things everywhere he is located or chooses to move. Then, when laying the physical body down for rest at night, even then the earnest chela will call to his Beloved "I AM" Presence and to beloved Archangel Michael, to clothe and seal his "finer" form within an armor of pure white Christ Light, with the Crystal Helmet upon his head, a Crystal Shield in the left hand and Sword of blue flame in the right hand, asking Lord Michael to take him out in his finer body to those persons, places, conditions and things he can free in the so-called "invisible" astral plane which surrounds the earth. Since all comes into manifestation from the unseen to the seen, the blessed chelas who do this night after night (such service often unknown to anyone but themselves and to us) are giving a tremendous release to life, preventing much distress from manifesting here - because the cause and core thereof was cut away by their Swords of blue flame and transmuted by the violet fire before it could outpicture here. Do you see? True wisdom always manifest perfect balance! You know that Golden Flame of Wisdom occupies the center position in the picturization of the three plumes of love, wisdom and power which comprise the immortal three-fold flame of eternal truth. It acts as does the fulcrum of a scale - holding in perfect balance on either side of its blazing presence - the blue plume of power (on the left) and the pink plume of Divine Love (on the right). This is because the energy of life (represented by the blue plume of power) is received thereby, as it flows into the heart from the Presence. Then, passing through the golden plume of wisdom (where it is given its divine direction for use) it is dispensed through the pink plume of Divine Love. Gracious reader! Do you ever find yourself in a quandary as to just what would be the perfect thing to do in many circumstances which arise in daily living? You who have accepted your own Beloved "I AM" Presence as the reality and source of your being are fortunate indeed, for you have but to turn to its gentle presence focused right within your beating heart and make your desires known there. Your answers must come - just as surely as you have a beating heart this moment. If you will be patient, letting your Holy Christ Self choose the perfect time of manifestation for you (in its wisdom), your answers will come - either through hearing, through reading the written word or, perhaps, through the voice of another - one who may know nothing of your need or the fact that he is being used as a channel to bless you. The Scriptures tell us that wisdom is "gentle, peaceable and easily entreated." Certainly there is no struggle in or to God - the Source of all wisdom. Beloved Jesus has said again and again: "Learn of me for my yoke is easy ...."; "Ask and ye shall receive ...."; then also have we been told by the Psalmist: "Be still (at peace) and know (the) `I AM' - God". As former Chohan (Lord) of Wisdom's Ray (second) I can tell you that there is no strain or struggle to the gaining of knowledge or wisdom (which is the right use ["righteousness"] of knowledge). Do you realize that in one flash of the Golden Flame of Illumination from the heart, head and hand of your own "I AM" Presence DIRECTLY? Prove it! Try this out! You may do me the honor of believing my words but, if you do not prove the truths we give you to be practical by your own use thereof, investing in them your own personal energies so that they become a part of your own experience - where is the permanent benefit to you? Beloved ones! True wisdom brings peace! True wisdom is the divine birthright of every lifestream and is yours for the asking! Would it not be a gracious gesture for you - each morning (even before arising) - after having acknowledged to your presence with gratitude the gift of its life for another day - to ask it to show you clearly just what - in its wisdom - is the perfect thing for you to do with that day? After all - is it not its own life you are using? Remember! We stand always ready and willing to help you hear the "still, small voice" of your own beloved God-Presence. To develop any latent power, one must begin and then keep on trying until mastery is gained! I remain - In Sincerity and Love Divine - Your Cosmic Teacher (The Ascended Master) KUTHUMI ****** Chapter 9 El Morya - March 6, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 9 - El Morya - March 6, 1959 Our beloved Morya speaks: Gracious readers and heart-friends of old! You know it to be true that everything comes from the invisible to the visible. Did not you, yourself, so come into this physical world? Everything begins with one - God-good - who is the source of all, and then one divine idea which stems from his consciousness. Then, since it is the very nature of life (God) to expand itself, that idea (by the magnetic power of divine love) begins to draw to itself more and more of that complementary substance - which may be already manifest as persons, places, conditions and things - as, in its own intelligence (being born of divine mind), it knows is essential to the sustaining and expanding of its own existence and fulfillment of its divine plan (reason for being). So, from one truth we glean another: "Great oaks from little acorns grow." Anything that is good cannot remain small and insignificant for too long in its service to life, for, as just stated above, the divine intelligence within any good idea will lovingly endeavor to move it forward to the fulfillment of its divine plan - which is perfection - all ways! Some of you who have been Bible students will remember the incident about those who were much disturbed by the (for that time) seemingly "radical" teachings of the beloved Jesus. Finally, one among them, wiser than the rest, bid them be at peace for, as he said: "If this man be of God - he will prosper ....". He felt (and rightly so) that the whole matter would resolve itself in real simplicity with a little patience and so it did! Now, is this not a self-evident Truth that all that is of God prospers? How could it be otherwise - since the cosmic fiat and "distress call" of humanity to the Great White Brotherhood is "The light of God never fails"? Then, if it "never fails" - it must prosper! One of the greatest reasons for the reality of this truth lies in the one-pointedness and singleness of vision of our creator and source of all - "I am of too pure eyes to behold iniquity (inequity; unbalance; light and shadow)!" Now, everything that exists must have a reason for being! Therefore, let us consider the reason for our "Pearls of Wisdom." Obviously, one of their reasons for being is to provide a channel for the rhythmic and close frequency of release (once every seven days) for ascended master instruction and intensified radiation of their light into the consciousness of our interested chelas in the world of form, simplified in expression enough so that even a child can understand it! I assure you, beloved of my heart, that we could release - even into worded expression - truth to you in such high-sounding phrases as few of mankind could understand, but what good would that do you? How practical would that be? There has been much "veiled" instruction on truth given to mankind in the past, but how many could understand and use its power for the freeing of their own worlds and those of others? Simplicity of presentation and clarity of understanding is the order of the day - so far as our present instruction is concerned and, if it has been noted that we repeat and repeat - do you realize that the average outer consciousness of unascended mankind has to hear a thing at least four times(!) before it registers clearly therein? Of course this is not always true of our chelas who have been using the violet flame for some years, because that flame does clear the mental body and brain structure of much shadowed effluvia which ordinarily would obstruct the clear reception of that which the individual hearers. Then, too, inasmuch as one never really knows a thing until it has become a part of his own world through experience, no one really knows that which he has not proven for himself. Honestly, now - beloved ones - have you really proven all the truths we have given you these many years? Then why not let us use that which we have, and, believe me, when that has been used, more wisdom will come forth and more of your desired manifestations will appear for, as has been said: "When the chela is ready - the master appears"! Nothing and no one can keep such a manifestation from that chela! We know that you desire practical manifestations of this truth which you have accepted and so these "Pearls of Wisdom" are meant not just to be "enjoyable" to you (although we sincerely hope they are that!) but they are intended to be actual "lessons in truth" which come to you regularly (like a "correspondence course," if you will), moving you ever forward into actual practical mastery of the substance and energy of your own worlds, which expanding light from you raises and helps all you contact. Our "Pearls of Wisdom" are a living activity which, like the great oak itself, has come forth from a very small "acorn," but which must be able to expand and thus sustain for themselves a permanent place. The "Tree of Life" is often spoken of in symbol, and, as you know, the tree expands itself from within its own seed, wherein is the perfect picture of its potential full expression. As it draws to itself that which is required to fulfill its destiny, in time it becomes not only a thing of beauty but a place of comfort for the birds who nest therein, and its "shade" is a comforting gift to the one who seeks shelter from the blazing noonday sun. So, beloved ones, thinking of our "Pearls" as a "Tree of Understanding" and considering each of our gracious readers as a living branch thereof, we are hoping that you will bring forth other branches (expand the number of present "Pearl" readers) - thus causing to appear upon our "tree" lovely "leaves and fruits" - tangible proof that the branches are accepting and using the life of that tree! Will you help us to bring into manifestation here not only faith in our words, but works well done, through the daily practicing of the laws of life which we have proven, for by the daily use of these same laws have we attained! May we count on you - each one - to help us make of our present "acorn"(!!) a mighty oak which shall endure for centuries yet to come? I know we can - and we do! This is God's will for "The Pearls of Wisdom." The "Tender of the Tree of God's Will" - "I AM" - Your Morya _________________________________________________ NOTE: Gracious reader! If the "Tree of Life" kept its life within itself and did not give it forth in expansion of its service to others, how long could it possibly exist? Just so, in the utilizing of every opportunity to give of yourself and substance to others to make life more beautiful and comfortable, do you expand your own light and hasten your eternal freedom from every human limitation! Vondir! ****** Chapter 10 Mother Mary - March 13, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 10 - Mother Mary - March 13, 1959 Our beloved Mother Mary speaks: On that first Palm Sunday, as my beloved son rode upon the humble colt through the streets of Jerusalem in the midst of those "hosannas" and waving palms, his entire being radiated the feeling of deep humility and yet gracious dignity. He was, indeed, the true representation of the God-mastery of all life - the living Presence of the Father of all! The outpicturing of true divine love which Jesus actually had become had made him a resistless magnet to draw the attention of even the outer consciousness of the multitudes to his light. These, caught up in the spirit of joyous gratitude and praise to God (which was his constant attitude toward life!) loosed all the energies at their command in the loud "Hosannas" and "Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord." Our Jesus' consciousness was that of complete oneness with his God and the radiation of that feeling from his very physical form was a magic quality which instantly lifted and raised the feelings of all the life he contacted, angelic, human and elemental as well. As he rode through the narrow streets of that ancient city in such peaceful God-control, no expression of studied pomp, pride or even self-satisfaction marred the natural beauty of his countenance which, as ever, remained fully composed, gentle and benign, in full command of the tremendous energies being released from those who thronged his way. For himself he accepted naught of the praise and adulation so released, but offered all to his beloved father of love. In all he did, Jesus obediently fulfilled his divine mission, even in the slightest detail. This triumphal entry into Jerusalem ("city of peace") was a part of that divine plan, revealing to all his unconquerable spirit as the living example of the all-powerful love of the Godhead - right here in this world of form. His example all men may follow - each one thus becoming his very own Christ-in-action. Of course, each one's personal victory is a very sacred thing to that one and, deep within the heart, the experiences by which that victory was attained are known to that one alone, because it was attained by the release of that one's own life. However, in the close connection with the beloved Jesus which was my honor and privilege (partly because I was his physical mother), I knew something of the tremendous strength, courage, power and many other God virtues which he had drawn from his source, through long hours of contemplation and application, to have made possible that day! The memories of that first Palm Sunday are as fresh and vibrant in my consciousness as though it had been yesterday. The mounting crescendoes of the voices of the people harmoniously blending together in praise to God as the happy procession moved on was thrilling indeed to me - it filled my soul, too, with deep and sincere gratitude - not only for his victory, but for the opportunity which was mine to be a part of that universal pageant of light. Beloved ones, you have heard it said that "a thing of beauty is a joy forever" and so it is! I say to you that everything of beauty endures forever - for all beauty expressed is God-in-action and can never cease to be! The outer physical forms in and from which that beauty manifests may disappear from the outer screen of life, but the etheric pattern (which is the divine idea and memory thereof) still abides in the akashic records. Now, today, since it is the very nature of divine love to give and, in the victory of the ascension having become the fullness of that divine love in action, I want to give you a very real gift. Will you now consciously accept from my own memory world into your own those same energies - qualified with the fervent, joyous feelings of those "hosannas" of that multitude on that first Palm Sunday? Many of these lifestreams are reembodied today and, with each recurring Easter Season, these are all conscious of that "lift" in their feelings as, each year, those memories are stirred again within their etheric bodies (memory worlds). They do not always realize the "cause" thereof, but just rejoice in its Presence. Many people of many different faiths have an impelling desire to attend some church service at Easter who otherwise do not enter a church at any other time of the year! Is this not a proof in itself of the "inner" magnetic pull of the soul to the happiness of the victorious accomplishments of just one outstanding lifestream? He, in the mastery of himself alone, became master over everything "human" for all time. In setting the example thereof and therefor, he became master of all life everywhere. Today, too, I am offering you again (and I do hope you will consciously accept my gift) my God-feeling and ability to hold for yourselves and others the perfect picture of your immaculate concept. That is the perfection of you which sees only as God sees! I am holding for you, too, the ability to remain humble and yet dignified in the manifest attainment of all your victories, as beloved Jesus did in his never allowing the outer self to claim the credit as being the "doer" - but always referring all praise and adulation of that which has been successfully accomplished back to the source of your being, whose very life you used as your own to attain those victories. Believe me, my children! Wise indeed it would be for you to develop and constantly let flow from you the virtue of praising and thanking God for his manifest goodnesses on every hand. Then, even as did the Presence of beloved Jesus naturally draw praise from the hearts, throats and feelings of the masses who received the blessing of his light - just so, in days to come, shall a like radiation from you (and from the multiplied examples of the living Christ which arise all over the world, as this light of the "I AM" instruction expands to and through all), draw forth from the hearts of all you contact the praise and gratitude to God for the manifestation of such Christ-accomplishment. At such time that song "Blessed is He that Cometh in the Name of the Lord" shall be sung of you and the many of like attainment, just as it was sung for him in that day so long ago, as earth's recordings go. Let the radiant flame of my grace and peace anchor into your etheric bodies now - today - and awaken in you all the feelings of joy and praise you have ever known in past ages, when your accomplishments of light were very great. Those memories live in you, even though buried deeply in the folds of your etheric garment. Let my gift to you today add to your endeavors now consciously to develop from within yourselves a greater and greater feeling of praise and gratitude to your Source. This greater gratitude will soon outpicture in many wonderful ways in your daily living, so that it will cause all life to be grateful you passed their way. Then the gratitude you so inspire in others for the peace and comfort you thus bring to life shall indeed "magnify your Lord" and make you, too, the victorious Christ-in-action as beloved Jesus was - and a healing Presence to all your radiation touches. During this Easter season, will you please give me your attention for just a few uninterrupted moments each day, so that I may make your feelings of joy as great as mine at your victorious entering into your "Jerusalem" - your "city of peace" - practically manifesting in your world as master of all things "human" - all ways! Forever yours in love - "I AM" Your Mother Mary ****** Chapter 11 Jesus Christ - March 20, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 11 - Jesus Christ - March 20, 1959 Our beloved ascended master Jesus speaks: "I AM the resurrection and the life of the full perfection of my divine plan fulfilled - now made manifest!" Beloved ones who today would follow in my footsteps along the path of "Christ-regeneration," I give you here the statement I used so very often - those words which enabled me to draw forth, sustain and expand from my own beloved "I AM" Presence, the power of its resurrection flame, which made me victor over so-called "death." My so-frequent contemplation upon and use of those words enabled me to generate the feeling of faith and confidence in my own Holy Christ Self within, until its expansion completely possessed all of my being and world, making me its self in action - all ways! As I repeat this statement to you today and as you read my words, if you will ask me so to do - I shall gladly give you my feelings of faith in that flame which, if you will accept and then expand by your rhythmic attention thereto, must give you the same victory they gave me! The law is wholly impersonal and, therefore, will answer everyone everywhere, just as it did me - if everyone will apply that law with full and loving cooperation as I did. Consciously accept my feelings of the truth of this statement - right now, today - and make them your own - using those words often every day, with deep sincerity. As you earnestly practice this, you will draw even your outer consciousness closer and closer into unity with your own beloved "I AM" Presence until, at times, even above the clamorous sounds of the work-a-day world, you can be raised to the place where you actually hear the sweet and gentle harmonies which fill the world of your "I AM" Presence - the hearing of which will bring you such peace! Ponder not upon the sorrowful aspects of any situation - for your attention held upon any person, place, condition or thing is allowing your very life - that very instant - to flow unreservedly into that upon which attention is fixed. Then, if that be distressing, since the Law of Life is a circle, whatever goes out from you must come back into you! Therefore, your life given to that which was sorrowful (in your own world, that of another or even of my so-called "trials") must return to you, qualified with that distress - plus all that that energy has gathered (which is like itself) until it returns to your world again. This is inescapable, for it is but the action of the law of magnetic attraction. Every year, so much unnecessary feelings of sympathy (which is "agreement with imperfection"), condemnation and actual despair have been generated and sent forth into the atmosphere of a world already too full of such shadowed vibrations because of mankind's attention upon the apparent injustices and sadness of "Holy Week" - between Palm Sunday and Easter - two victorious days of God-accomplishment! If only the victorious feelings of the mastery of Palm Sunday could have been held all through that blessed week culminating with the heavenly achievement of the resurrection on Easter Sunday! However, we do rejoice that there are those of you on earth who understand this truth today and, as you endeavor to live it yourselves and explain it to others in the expanding of our light, the attention of the people gradually will be removed from the sadness and suffering of "Holy Week" and, instead, be held upon the power of light to manifest love's eternal victory! Gracious readers - you who know of the merciful use of the violet transmuting flame could be so helpful were you to make the daily calls to your own beloved "I AM" Presence and to us (especially at this time of the year) for such a power of that violet fire as has never come to earth before, to sweep constantly through all destructive etheric records, especially those which have to do with "Holy Week" and the causes and cores of all its distressing memories, thus completely dissolving them forever. Ask that these be replaced by the joyous feelings of the truth of my revelation of the eternality of God's life - his gift to all - not only to me! So you can render such a wonderful service - truly giving your life for all men. Is not your life that with which you speak the words of your decrees and blessings? Then, "giving your life" does not necessarily mean the laying down of your body in so-called "death," you know! As the resurrection flame manifests so bountifully and magnificently throughout the nature kingdom, realize fully now that this flame is so able and most willing to render a like personal service for you! Ask it to bring forth from within yourself all that is good: The "newness of life," manifesting as a more youthful body, a more alert and "open" mind, happiness in your feelings and an abundant supply of money and every good thing in your affairs. So are you enabled much more quickly to fulfill your own "reason for being." Every living soul has such a divine plan to fulfill - some God-gift which his lifestream alone can give to life to increase its blessings. Try it! Try using that resurrection flame daily for thirty days - in earnest sincerity and in faith believing. See what it will do for you! Then expect the practical manifestations of this flame in your daily living. Today yours is a much easier path to victory than that which was mine to tread. In the conscious knowledge and use of the violet fire, you have opportunity quickly to transmute every shadow of your lifestream into "the light of God that cannot fail" to produce victorious accomplishment for you, as you remain faithful to the law of your being - "I AM." Always remember to speak that "word" only constructively - using the violet fire to transmute all past mistakes and, then, lovingly cooperating with that "still small voice within" (which is your Holy Christ Self living there), you, too, can arise from the tomb of human limitations to walk in the sunshine of God's garden of freedom and life everlasting! Your elder brother - Jesus - the Christ ****** Chapter 12 Maha Chohan - March 27, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 12 - Maha Chohan - March 27, 1959 Our gracious Maha Chohan speaks: The average individual often feels so very sure that in the planning of his daily, as well as future, living - it would be so helpful if, in some way, he could draw back that "curtain" which veils the future to him - thus allowing him to see clearly just what lies ahead. O, beloved ones! That "veil of mystery" is one of the greatest gifts to you of a merciful heavenly father of love for, since that life which has been lived and, therefore, lies behind you - having been qualified with both light and shadow through life's experiences; as well as that which lies ahead - depends so much upon each one's conscious and deliberate use of his God-given gift of free-will. Now, were that "curtain" to be drawn aside - even to some degree - of necessity there would have to be revealed both the light and shadow and, particularly where there is much of shadow lying dormant in many lifestreams (awaiting opportunity for balancing), certainly it would be of little encouragement to the soul to allow it to remember again in the present the apparent "failures" of the past or, looking ahead, to see that which will be required of the soul to balance them. Certain it is that - through the "veiling" of such unhappy experiences (some of which, in their day, may have been extremely distressing, each individual is thus protected from such remembering and is given a fresh "start" and opportunity - in each new embodiment - to try and try again. Finally, in a more illumined consciousness and amidst more conducive circumstances, the lifestream may arise in full mastery when again meeting such challenges as those which overcame him in the past. Of course, because for each lifestream its own Holy Christ Self is the "All-knowing-mind of God," that Holy Christ Self always sees and knows the "future probabilities" of its embodying outer self - seeing both the light and shadow which are "scheduled" (by karmic law) to appear (the "light" to manifest in that life as blessings to be enjoyed for previous good done and the shadows awaiting opportunity to manifest in the balancing of life's accounts) However, opportunity is always given to the embodying one to "make things right," through various contacts provided with persons, places, conditions and things which, if the soul is alert enough to accept and use, will make his way easier and move the soul forward into more and more light. Of course, as the outer self occupies each new physical body, the "bands of forgetfulness" form the "veil" which shuts out the past and future from outer consciousness. Truly does "hope spring eternal in the human heart ..." but not only is this so of the "human" heart but of ours as well! You see, as our love follows lifestreams through many embodiments - completely through to the ascension - our feeling of "hope" for constant God-success is radiated to each one just as fully as the law of that one's being will allow. Then, too, from the standpoint of the chela, himself - since perfection is the very essence of life itself and life being all-pervading, even that which is qualified with shadow has within itself a constant longing for and expectancy of the eventual manifestation of that perfect balance, beauty, happiness and abundance of all good which is perfection - in action! Without "hope," mankind would have no incentive ever to try again - nor would he believe in, desire or endeavor to use the resurrection flame which so rhythmically, dependably, obediently and magnificently expresses itself in visible, tangible action through the nature kingdom each spring. Even before his final earth-life as the "master of Galilee" (which he became in that embodiment), beloved Jesus had attained tremendous heights of God-illumination and mastery along many lines of life's expression. Wisely did he take full conscious advantage of the use of that resurrection flame for his own victory - thus proving to mankind the truth that it is meant for the individual and collective use of humanity, as well as for the elemental life which, through its use, produces so much of good for them. Today, with his loving assistance have you tremendous opportunity daily to call that flame forth through your own world and resurrect into outer expression your own individual Christ Self - in full power! Fortunate indeed are those of mankind who have been entrusted with this knowledge of the "I AM" and the use of the violet transmuting flame for, in such "Hope" did your Holy Christ Self provide these for your use at this time. So great are the manifestations of this violet fire when called into action that it causes "hope to spring eternal in the heart" of all who use it. As one continues in its use, his hope therein builds and builds until it becomes full faith and "faith" - you will remember "is the evidence of things not seen!" Beloved of our hearts. You who aspire to God-mastery - and quickly! - waste not "jewelled" moments of opportunity in vain, wishing to see ahead - to see that which might come about when, in your knowledge of the constructive use of the violet fire and God's "creative" name "I AM," you can make your future that which you desire it to be! Use! Use! Use! every available moment - when your attention is not required to be on the things of this world - to call forth in, through and around you and others this "gem of mercy" - the violet flame - thus transmuting into light every "potential" distress of your world before it can act." Make of yourselves the scintillating, all-powerful presence of "the holy amethyst" wherever you move - right here in this world of form. Remember, too, daily to use my gift to you of the comfort flame, for it but lives to keep you abundantly supplied with the gifts of God's own presence! In God's Comfort Flame now enfolding you - "I AM" Your Maha Chohan _________________________________________________ NOTE: Gracious reader! Upon the substance of money is imposed much of imperfection and shadow, which causes that substance discomfort. After all, money is intelligent - for is not God all substance and all there is? Therefore, if you were to take your wallet in hand at least once each day and give the following blessing to the money it holds, you would magnetize your world so that it would draw more money to you for - like all other parts of life - money loves to feel your blessing! - "My very own beloved "I AM" Presence bless this money and all money everywhere with this decree: Purify all money now by Violet Fire; Set if ever free from greed - impure desire, Charge it now with selfless love and joy and peace; Let it flow to bless all life with Cosmic Christ release! And in full faith, I consciously accept this done right now with full power!" (It is always best to repeat a decree 3 times when possible, thus calling into it the full power of the Holy Trinity. Do you see?) ****** Chapter 13 El Morya - April 3, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 13 - El Morya - April 3, 1959 Our beloved ascended master El Morya speaks: Gently, and yet with the full illumining power of the matchless divine love which is within our realm, do we speak to you today - dear ones - who are sincere seekers of that instruction which will enable you always to do God's will! All life is really seeking peace, comfort and happiness and all of these God-qualities are found to be just the natural expression of one's daily living as he yields the outer self to the Christ within. As one establishes the practice of daily listening to and for this voice (sometimes one may hear its directions in actual worded expression or, more often, through a very gentle feeling as to what do do) - one can soon become absolutely infallibly guided by his own Christ Self. If one will learn to listen to the "voice of the heart" each day and then obey the directions of that voice, it will assist such a one to live in a state of sustained peace, happiness and general well-being. Now the state of your own world and the condition of your personal health and affairs manifests in outer physical expression through the screen of your own mind and emotions. How is this so? Well, your life (the very light-essence of God himself) is constantly pouring into your heart-flame through the silver cord from the heart of your own beloved "I AM" Presence. This substance in itself is absolutely pure, electronic light-essence which, but a moment ago was experiencing and expanding perfection as it beat the heart of your own "I AM" Presence (your individualized God-Self). As that life (light-essence) pours into your world from above, it touches first your emotional body (feeling world) where - since it is instantly obedient substance - it fills the "feeling forms" which you have created there. These are not only thus sustained but expanded also and radiate forth after their kind. The same is true of the mental body as that light essence continues to flow into the "thought-forms" which you have created there - filling those forms which have been created by your past and present habits of thinking! It sustains and expands those forms there. Then that life essence continues to flow into the etheric body with like activity and that which remains (as each body takes some of that essence - one being held within the other like the children's blocks which fit inside each other) the physical form is sustained as the outpicturing of the thoughts and feelings above mentioned, as well, of course, as one's spoken words and deeds (which, after all, are motivated by those same thoughts and feelings); also by the memories of the etheric body (memory world). This latter has sometimes been called the "sub-conscious". This is one reason why individuals in the same family look so different and have different temperaments - although coming from the same parents, eating the same food and breathing the same atmosphere. Each one's individual pattern is held in the "invisible" (to the physical sight). You see, having so long forgotten the truth of its being, the outer consciousness of man has lost its way in the maze of human mistakes and has forgotten even the reason for its being here. Having so neglected its source, it naturally does not look back to it - all wisdom - to receive more and more of its light (life) to be able to see the plan it should follow to enable it to fulfill its reason for being. When that is finished, the individual returns "home," having completed the circle of his existence here by ascending from the earth as he descended to it upon taking embodiment here long ago. Quite naturally, without the constant (or even periodic!) illumination from its source of light, this outer consciousness has become extremely limited and impure in its expressions and warped in its comprehensions and understanding of God-life and things as they really are! Thus by lack of acknowledgment of and attention to the light of God, the outer mind has shut itself away from the "sun of righteousness" (right-use-ness of the law of life) and, abiding in darkness, often knows not where to turn to be relieved of his distresses. Light itself is at least one of the greatest comforts of existence - for who can be comfortable, happy or at peace in darkness? In the darkness and confusion of the outer mind and feelings are all manner of sorrow and distress generated. Now, as we keep repeating over and over again to you from time to time - with all the power of our faith and conviction - the will of God for you is good! The aforementioned darkness and its attendant distresses created by mankind for themselves are not the will of God - either for the individual or for any part of God's creation. We of the ascended host know that will, for we have become its reality and live in a constant state of its outpouring and outpicturing of such beauty, abundance and perfection of every kind as no unascended being can possibly imagine. However, every one of us in the ascended state once passed through the "realm of maya" (human creation) as you are doing today. How did we attain this state of eternal bliss in which we live? By the complete purification of every electron, cell and atom of our beings and worlds, for purity is light and naught but light (eternal purity and perfection) can abide where we are! It has been said that "purity is the cornerstone of the universe" - whether it be your own personal "universe" - (so far as the personality is concerned your physical, etheric, mental and emotional bodies - for your other three bodies - Holy Christ Self, causal and electronic bodies are now and always have been wholly pure and perfect). Now - right here in your mundane world of affairs, just for greater comfort and sanitary protection, many, many people bathe their physical bodies every day; keep their clothing spotless; keep their homes in order and immaculately clean; wash their cars and means of transportation; keep windshields clean, etc. All of this is done - not only for the sake of appearance, but because it is a real protection to themselves, their loved ones and their possessions. But - all of this "washing" and "cleansing" of which we speak here has been for visible tangible things. Who is willing to daily "wash" his consciousness - his thoughts, feelings, spoken words and deeds, by the rhythmic use of the violet transmuting flame - using that merciful substance of Almighty God with unfailing constancy, calling to have removed the causes and cores of all impurity, until everything in his world radiates again its original purity and light-essence which had been "covered over" by the discord. When such "washing" of the "invisible" world is faithfully done, then is the individual able to see and know "the God of things as they are"! Then will he want to pattern his world again after that perfection - the "immaculate concept" which God holds of each one's entire being. Beloved Mother Mary speaks of this so often and, since she has such a tremendous momentum in her world of the victorious use of holding to this God-concept, any who desires her help along this line may have it for the asking. Holding faithfully to this picture of God-perfection must be practiced for one's self and others - especially when persons, places, conditions and things of this world are manifesting disorder and imperfection to the physical senses. Dear chelas! Each of you must develop this practice of holding the "immaculate concept" for yourselves, each other and the world at large. There is no other way to bring about permanent perfection here. Truth (which is the will of God for you) must be held immovable in your consciousness, until its light has cleared away every human shadow. Only so can the full victory of your eternal freedom become manifest for you. Why is this so? Because your attention is the open door from your world through which you charge your own life energy into any person, place, condition or thing and, by holding to this "immaculate concept," do you not see that you are thus charging your constantly flowing life into God's truth and will? Thus you feed, sustain and expand it, until it actually comes into outer physical action and makes all of your life the truth which you really are! So do you manifest God's will of good - which is your true being - for all to see. This is the perfection you once "knew and had with the Father before the world was" - in the beginning of your individualization in light - even before coming here. I AM a most humble servant of God's holy will and, to all who will hold the faith and love it enough to stay with it until manifest victory is attained, I offer the fullness of my victorious power of accomplishment - all that I have and have become - to help you manifest the truth (even as I have) that the will of God is good for you. It is the actual ascension of your human form into the light of itself - (as Jesus so ascended) out of everything human into all that is divine. Eternal and changeless is my tremendous love for you and all I have is yours for the taking! Your "Morya" (The ascended master "Morya El") _________________________________________________ NOTE: A wise one has said: "It isn't the dime that buys the pie - it is letting go of the dime that buys the pie!" A pie is a sweet delicacy which "tops off" a good meal. Besides the "good meal" which you now possess, i.e., your daily supply of food and comfort, would you like to have more of that good - a "pie" of added supply and comfort? Then let go of just some of what you now have - call it an "investment" if you will - and let it go forth to bless others and return to you with interest. Remember, everything that goes forth from you - by cosmic law must return to you - always with accumulated energy! God bless you for being interested in the expansion of the ascended masters' words and works in these days, helping others to have a part in that which you enjoy. ****** Chapter 14 El Morya - April 10, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 14 - El Morya - April 10, 1959 Our beloved Morya El speaks: As one who has attained his complete and eternal ascension in the light and, may I say, by such attainment having trod every step of the way you beloved ones are now going - experiencing every thought and feeling created by the pressures of human problems - I am quite able to help you to know the certainty of your own personal victorious accomplishment as you determinedly and steadfastly refuse to yield your victory to the shadows! Your beloved Saint Germain said years ago: "Never give up! Hang on to your beloved `I AM' Presence - if it is only by an eyebrow!" You know, one of the greatest differences between the unascended consciousness and ours is that the human often "gives up" under pressure - while we never do! Having once decided upon a plan or course of action, we stay right with it until it is victoriously accomplished - no matter how long it takes! In our constant, loving and careful watch over the chelas' daily progress, we sometimes hear those who, when passing through trials which seem very severe to them (and not feeling so sure of their "outer" ability to hold on to the "Presence") earnestly call: "My very own beloved `I AM' Presence! You hold on to me! Make and keep me victorious here!" O blessed ones - if you could see the instantly enfolding light-rays going forth like lightning from your "I AM" Presence in answer to your call - how your heart would rejoice! One day - you shall so see! Now, there is a point of human reaction to problems which I would like to bring to your attention here and that is the feelings of rebellion that sometimes arise against the necessity of having to balance one's affairs and "make things right." You have been told - and rightly so - that all rebellion is rebellion against God! How could it possibly be otherwise - since God is all there is? Please think this through! Of course, none of our faithful chelas who understand the law of life as taught to them by us will ever entertain for a single moment any feeling of blame against God for the unpleasantness and discomfort of conditions through which he may be passing. You know that God's will for you and all his creation is the most exquisite perfection of every description - greater even than the outer consciousness could ever imagine! Besides, he did not create the conditions of distress which you are experiencing! However, he has prepared for and released to you the knowledge and use of that heavenly violet transmuting flame, so that you might return to the state of his peace and well-being - which is his will for you! This is offered you, dear hearts, without money and without price - none is too poor or unable to use it - as long as he has self-conscious being! Therefore, that which is unhappy and uncomfortable is the manifesting result in your world today of some discordant cause set up in the past - either consciously or unconsciously by the one who is experiencing its return for redemption now. Either one has created that cause himself, or he has allowed someone else to impose it upon his world, because of insufficient protection called forth by him. So, regardless of conditions of less than perfection which seem to appear on your screen of life today, let us know that these are but transitory! Nothing is eternal but all of God! Therefore, let us calmly take these situations in hand and say: "My very own beloved `I AM' Presence! `I AM' the ascended masters' law of forgiveness, forgetfulness and transmuting flame of everything imperfect here. You draw and hold my attention upon you and blaze that violet fire up, in, through and around the cause and core of this whole appearance. Transmute all into your blazing light of perfection and let only your good will manifest to and through me now and all ways!" Try to rid your worlds of the feelings of blame toward anyone, anywhere for anything. Instead, use that much of your life to "make things right." Thus do you speed up your victorious Christ accomplishment! I know! You God-friend for all eternity - "I AM" - Morya El ****** Chapter 15 El Morya - April 17, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 15 - El Morya - April 17, 1959 Our beloved Morya speaks: Dear and good friends: Sincere feelings of praise and gratitude to our Father-Mother God, released from the heart of anyone, create wide open doors into the realms of all good, through which may continually flow that which is God's good will, in practical, physical manifestation for all. Now, all of life (animate or inanimate) - in the human or elemental kingdoms - enjoys the hope of visible, tangible fulfillment which spring brings - for its magical "electric" currents of new life pass completely through all the substance of the planet and its evolutions - as well as through its atmosphere. Fortunate indeed is the beautiful bird life which can and does praise the good God in lovely song. However, outside of the bird life, for the most part the kingdom of nature has no voice or melody of praise to offer - just expressing in quiet beauty and the greatest perfection it can, that which will turn men's hearts in grateful divine love to the giver of life everywhere. Then, too, how much more fortunate than the elemental kingdom (and even the bird life thereof) is God's highest creation - man - originally created in the image and likeness of his Great Self? Therefore, from within the heart of man can there spring forth such sincere and joyous praise and thanks in song or worded expression; yet how many daily take the definite time and energy so to do? Do you know that one of the most glorious daily manifestations of the ascended host is the releasing of their sincere feelings of praise and gratitude to their Source - just for the gift of life itself? Do you know that even we, who lovingly endeavor to free the earth, rejoice with her and her evolutions, even at the beauty of a springtime such as you are enjoying today. Just last Sunday, our Brotherhood at Darjeeling gathered in the lovely council room of our retreat and there joined our voices in grateful words and song to a gracious Father of love and his divine messengers. Particularly in this instance did we direct our grateful love to the magnificent being - Amaryllis - Goddess of Spring. Long and glorious - patient and constant has been her service to this dear "star" and even the "works of her hands" - in gratitude for her love, endeavor to express their adoration by producing the greatest possible beauty of perfection in form, color and fragrance. So always does love beget more love. All increases only after its kind! Said the great Shakespeare: "If you have not a virtue - assume it!" Therefore, if yours is not the nature of one to whom the expressing of sincere gratitude comes easily, try to develop this ability. In the privacy of your own soul and room, daily try to express sincere feelings of gratitude to your God for all the good you now have. Then, as surely as you keep this up, more must come to you! To many, writing a thing down is much easier for them than the speaking of words; so, if that is easier for you to do, try that method of creating and loosing from within yourself the feelings of a thankful heart to your maker. Such a practice will make all the rest of your way "home" much happier; also, it will shorten the journey considerably. Of course, need I add here that you are always most welcome to ask us for our feelings of any God-virtue and we shall be glad to give them to you! Let the majesty and glory of our feelings of sincere gratitude of the ages to and for life flood in, through and around your entire beings and worlds - limitlessly increase - every time you think of me! I would have it so for you - for I love you! Always victorious in the light - "I AM" - your Morya ****** Chapter 16 El Morya - April 24, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 16 - El Morya - April 24, 1959 Our beloved Morya speaks: My lovely ones! In last week's "Pearl" we spoke to you of sincere feelings and so this letter to you is something of a sequel thereto. A most beloved Guru of mine once said long ago that: "The one God-virtue absolutely essential to one who aspires to be eternally free is that of absolutely pure sincerity of motive." When that is present and allowed constantly to act through any lifestream, the individual so aspiring to mastery will not do any intentional wrong - and all unintentional mistakes easily can be transmuted back into the pristine purity of light by the use of the violet transmuting flame. So, beloved ones, with all the love of my heart and desire for your quick freedom and mastery, let me stress here the importance of expressing real sincerity in all you do! Nightly, before entering sleep, make a sincere and unbiased inventory of the events of your day and the use of your life therein. Search your world to see how much of the true Christ you represented to others - some manifestation of comforting help that made them feel and know that you had a connection with us - God-limitless love and power of accomplishment - These not only always ready, but most ably willing to be their friends also - helping them to be free. Could you see as we do the expressions on the faces of those who daily call to God as they hope him to be - a greater power than their own - for help at the same time knowing something of their feelings of anxiety which hopes for some answer to their calls - I know it would create in you a most sincere determination to let nothing whatsoever interfere with your uninterrupted harmony which keeps you connected with all the good of your God and ourselves. I know you would realize much more, too, the value of the knowledge of your permanent connection with your "I AM" Presence anchored within you and with us - as your elder brothers of light and full Christ-attainment! Will you do this for us, dear hearts of light? Will you who have received our assistance for so long now endeavor to so use such blessings - letting them flow through you to others - that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven? Surely none who love us will want to do otherwise! None will want this instruction just for himself alone! "Others" is one of the "watchwords" of the Ascended Host. Years ago, when the one in charge of a great international spiritual movement was given the gift of a free round-the-world broadcast that she might send her Christmas message to the outposts of that activity in every land, do you know what she chose as her entire speech? Although given the free time for the delivering of her message - she spoke but one word - "Others." Oh, think for a moment with me! Did not our love first attract you to us, then should not our love through you attract many to this light also - this light which is really their own and ours too? So gradually does unity of purpose become physically manifest - right here in the world of form; the bonds of love grow stronger; the bonds of faith more sturdy and hope releases its golden glory like a new star - blazing through the night of human consciousness, that God's will alone shall manifest its shining splendor for you and all mankind - now and all ways! Your constant traveling companion I would be - all the rest of your way "home." El Morya Khan (Vondir!) ****** Chapter 17 El Morya - May 1, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 17 - El Morya - May 1, 1959 Our beloved Morya speaks: We of the ascended host seldom advocate the practice of "looking backward," especially to past embodiments, nor do we direct the attention of our chelas to such etheric records unless there can be drawn therefrom that which will bring either needed warnings to avoid certain "pitfalls" of shadow, or to give great encouragement which will help to bring about present-day victories. This is because, through the student's attention (which is his life) directed to these past lives, both the good as well as unhappy experiences thereof are enlivened again. You see, through turning one's attention to them, he feeds his presently flowing stream of life into them and makes them live again - today! Thus are they resurrected into manifestation and reproduce after their kind. Of course, everything good is eternal, for it is God-in-action; therefore the good can be safely remembered - all ways. Now, when the ascension is completed, every electron belonging to the lifestream has been wholly purified, cause, effect, memory - so that naught but the good remains. You see, everyone is expressing today - (in appearance and personality) - the sum total of all he has been in past embodiments, good or otherwise, and the affairs of his world, as well as his associations, are manifesting the "fruits" thereof. If those expressions and manifestations are not yet the fullness of all the good you would like them to be, the remedy therefor is simple. With a grateful heart for the gift of God's instantaneous forgiveness and forgetfulness of everything "human," call on the law of forgiveness for the mistakes of the past and, faithfully every day, use the violet transmuting flame to purify the energies used therein. Then, determinedly fixing the attention upon one's own "I AM" Presence (anchored through the Holy Christ Self within one's beating heart), he should call it forth daily - completely to possess, control and rule him and his world, producing in, for and through him only that which will fulfill his divine plan (reason for being). The "appearances" of ourselves and our worlds today are the result of our past use of life. They can be changed into the perfection of God's will - if the student is determined enough to let them be so! Beloved ones, you know that the law is: "One becomes that to which he gives his attention." Well, if one is not wholly free today, then it must follow that his attention has not been fixed upon real freedom - else he would now be free. Is that not logical? If one truly wants freedom, he must consciously place his attention where freedom is - and hold it there until he draws it from its "home" (which is the ascended masters' realm) into the unascended realm where he abides. There is much talk about freedom everywhere these days and all life is demanding it on every hand. However, when all on earth finally do enjoy all "four freedoms" - will that set all life really free here? No! Living freedom is the state of consciousness which only those who abide in the realms of light enjoy - occupying a body of pure light which, through the power of levitation, goes here or there at one's will - instantly obedient to the slightest direction of thought and feeling; the powers of precipitation and etherealization (bringing instantly from the universal that which is desired - or returning that substance immediately thereto as soon as it has served its purpose); infinite ability and opportunity to know everything one wishes to know and to explore the depths of divine mind anywhere in the universe at will; the desire and ability to bring into being, sustain and expand without limit, such beauty and perfection of form and substance as can only ever come from the Godhead himself; to receive and express only feelings of purest love all ways; never to know or experience separation from that which one loves; to be surrounded always and only by that which never wilts, fades or "grows less" but continues ever to increase in beauty all the time; to live in an atmosphere of eternal peace, exquisite fragrance and beautiful music. Would you too not like to live forever in such a world? Of course you would - for it is "home" for you, too, and while these few words but touch the mere "fringe" of the reality of true freedom, yet the most extravagant worded description would not do it justice believe me! Do you not see, then, why we say: "Look ever forward to this which you shall one day be and have - for eternity?" Most of the human habit of "looking back" but wastes time and energy. Take from past unhappy experiences whatever lessons can be learned therefrom - then forget the rest! Come up higher to where we abide! Turn your attention to us as often as you can - for we are trustworthy friends of light who will never mislead nor forsake you. "I AM" your guardian of love - Morya ****** Chapter 18 Mighty Victory - May 8, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 18 - Beloved Mighty Victory - May 8, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers Dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our Beloved Cosmic Being Victory Speaks: "In the beginning was the Word ... and that Word was God ... and without that Word was not anything made that was made!" (Gospel of John 1:1) The Word referred to here is God's most holy and sacred name "I AM" - in general so carelessly and thoughtlessly used in conversation of all kinds by the populace of this dear earth, particularly the English-speaking people. The Word "I AM" as it appears in English today carries within it the full creative power of the Godhead and, as such, is used by all of us in our octave, as well as everywhere else in the universe. That Word (God's name) can never have its vibratory action changed by translation into any other language for "Je suis," "Ich bin" or any other combination of sounds which mean "I AM" do not carry the same creative activity of God-power as does "I AM" in English today. There will come the day when those faithful chelas of our beloved Saint Germain and Morya El who, by selfless service to life, have earned the privilege of entering the Royal Teton Retreat in the Wyoming Rockies. Then, in the beautiful "Record Room" which is there, they will be able to see for themselves the use of this Word in the history of past civilizations, written upon sheets of gold which have been rolled on golden spindles. Although they may not be able to read the language of the script, they will easily be able to distinguish the Word "I AM" - for it will stand out as being the name used to specify Deity - even in those ancient times. Then is not the knowledge and use of the Word "I AM" indispensable to your eternal victory of the ascension - since it is the open door back into the heart of your Creator? "I AM" the very embodiment of all the God-power of victory, those feelings which will enable you to overcome every human appearance, instead of allowing that appearance to "overcome" you, no matter how formidable that appearance or group of them may be. Today I bring to each of you who will accept it the substance of my victory - that golden flame which contains within it my living feeling of victorious accomplishment in all you do. This is a very real and tangible gift! Whenever you need victorious accomplishment over anything, remember that I AM in the universe and that I AM no farther away from you than your own heartbeat. You see, the light which beats your very heart is God's life and therefore a very real part of that victory which "I AM". Therefore, whenever confronted by any set of circumstances which portends less than God-success for you, may I suggest that you make the following call: "My very own beloved `I AM' Presence and beloved Mighty Victory! I consciously and determinedly refuse acceptance into my feelings or any other part of my world of anything but God-victory - right here and now! In reality, that victory I AM! My very life is that victory! Mighty Victory! Flood my entire being and world with your feelings thereof, which compel victorious accomplishment for me! Help me to fully accept it as being real and true even before it appears for me in outer manifestation." Try me out and keep on calling until you have given me sufficient opportunity to make you the Victory "I AM"! We know full well that for the unascended it is so easy for him to yield his world to the pull of the senses and limiting appearances, for that is the "way of the world" in which he lives. All unascended consciousness is one even as our Ascended Master consciousness is one in our octave. That is why, especially in these changing days, as the life of the entire universe is spiraling upward in its return to the Godhead from whence it came, we must have at least some of the life from those embodied upon your "star" consciously claiming victory in order to be able to anchor and expand that God-virtue here. Victory! Victory! Victory! must be claimed in all they do until claiming victory becomes a fixed and unalterable habit with them. Help to this end I am particularly well prepared, ready and most lovingly willing to give at any moment, day or night! Without the help of the ascended and angelic hosts today, mankind do not get too far in the way of achieving permanent victory in their worlds and affairs. Of course, by sheer willpower alone, many individuals accomplish much but they usually arise to a certain height and then, for one reason or another, seem not able to hold on to that which they have so laboriously acquired. This often occurs because of the setting in of the limitations of advancing years and, as their energies recede, so does their will-to-do and, therefore, power to accomplish. With my feelings of victory firmly and joyously anchored in your worlds such could not happen, for then, with my help, your God-success is eternally sustained and ever expanding. My feelings can never be requalified by the human. From everlasting to everlasting "I AM" the victory of all life everywhere! My power ever increases as the ages roll. Accept me and my help, beloved ones, for I live but to expand God-victory. Be my friend, even as "I AM" yours and let me, through your victories, draw to myself more and more friends on earth. Let me make your world a living example of what my power of victory can do for all. Come along with me! The best is yet to be! You cannot yet imagine what I can do with victory! In Love Divine, which is all Victory, "I AM", Your Victory Manifest Now! _________________________________________________ (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.) ****** Chapter 19 Maha Chohan - May 15, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 19 - The Beloved Maha Chohan - May 15, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers Dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our Beloved Maha Chohan Speaks: Our Beloved Maha Chohan Speaks: "Behold! I make all thing new ..."{1} What heart does not thrill to the sound of those words, particularly the hearts of those whose physical bodies have served them long and well through many a period of making things right, which activities are the opportunities offered by embodiment here! As the years pass and (according to the acceptance of "race consciousness") take their toll of the outer forms of men, how the flame of hope blazes within each breast at the thought of enjoying youth and beauty, vigor and vitality again even though the individual may enjoy such respite from the human only in the realms above between embodiments, until his whole lifestream is set completely free! Truly is newness of life the ever-present hope of the soul. Beginnings are very fascinating to the outer self and easily draw and hold its attention. While in good things this is commendable in itself, yet the danger here lies in allowing one's attention ever to be held only upon the new beginnings, never carrying anything completely through to victorious accomplishment. Carefully to investigate and discriminately to choose for one's self the new beginning of that course of study or action which will best help one fulfill his divine plan and that to which he can give the best of himself and his talents is wise indeed. Then patiently and determinedly staying with that project, in season and out of season, when one feels like it as well as when he does not is to make of one's self and world a focus of self-mastery and skill, beauty of production, and perfection of service. All of these not only bring tremendous satisfaction and happiness to the individual but gratitude and blessing from his God and his fellowman. The beginning of each new day brings fresh energies and enthusiasms (especially in the young) to do one's best, to concentrate and learn much more easily. Of course, this is because the physical energies follow the rising tides of life and Light which start at daybreak and steadily mount until they culminate in a great floodtide of Light at high noon. Then, too, new things coming into one's world break the monotony of thought and feeling created by the treadmill existence of the human consciousness, which sameness of routine has come about through his forgetfulness of his Source. As you all know, much happiness is often found by the individual who is able to change his scenery, either traveling to some unfamiliar place or by re-ordering and re-decorating his present environment. Of course, this constant seeking here and there for something new is simply the outer manifestation of the inner longing of the soul for its permanent connection with its own beloved God Self, who in truth constantly makes (and keeps) all things new! Now, the Holy Christ Self of each lifestream (never far away but anchored within each beating heart and so ever available to assist the outer self {personality}, "without money and without price") is really the Holy Spirit of that one's individualization. It is ever the dispenser of the newness of life to and through the outer form. Its very nature is continually to radiate forth the gifts and graces of each particular lifestream, which constructive activities are always within its keeping and flow forth into outer manifestation at its command. In our worded expression of love to you today through this Pearl with all our emphasis upon the newness of life, I feel quite sure that our gracious reader both thinks and feels that our urging them to turn often within to the Holy Christ Self is anything but new! However, we find it necessary often to stress this particular phase of the Law to our earnest chelas because for so many ages it has been the habit of mankind to turn away from the within and seek the without quite diligently. So, beloved ones, I bring to you today the comfort of Truth concerning your own blessed Holy Christ Self. That is the real you. Accept it as such! Then establishing the practice of so doing, experience the gradual but sure and steadily mounting joy in living and the newness of life which will be yours in so doing. I AM the comfort flame of eternity, ever new!

Note: Gracious reader, may we offer a daily decree to assist one to lovingly cooperate with the above? "My very own beloved Holy Christ Self, living right within my beating heart, in the name of my beloved I AM Presence, I now call you into action here and now. Possess, control, and rule this outer self of me and my world. Make me the constant newness of life and Divine Love which you are and so help me raise my fellowman as well. I love you, bless you, and thank you with all I AM and have for all you have ever done for me and for answering this, my call! I consciously accept and expect this call made manifest for me right now!"

Take heart - beloved ones! The so-called "dead" you honor today have not died in vain for, in the permanent golden age into which the earth and all her evolutions are now entering, there shall be no more war - no! nor even memory of it - for there is coming here the reign of eternal peace. Truly, America was designed from our octave and given so much assistance from there to be "the land of the free. ..."! Now, every nation and its people are dear to our hearts - for all are some expression of God's Life and His Life is the only Life there is. Each nation has a divine plan of its own to fulfill and, according to their divine destinies, the various nations of the world represent the various parts of the earth's body." Therefore, in the new age, the land of India shall represent the "head" of such an "earth body" and the land of America the "heart." Take notice, please, that the name "India" begins with the letter "I" and "America" with "Am." Is this not significant? The land of America - in the main so little understood by most of the dear lifestreams she shelters - is of far more importance to all life on this planet than most imagine. America is a land somewhat different from others - for she has gathered to her bosom many from every land who love freedom. Since that particular virtue is the one I personally embody (and is my "reason for being"), these individuals are particularly dear to my heart. Is not America considered to be "the melting pot" of the world? You will remember the words "Conceived in Liberty. ..." which appear in the "Gettysburg Address" spoken so eloquently by the beloved Abraham Lincoln nearly a century ago. Privileged was I to have inspired the words of that address. Therefore, designed from our octave also was the idea of placing the great Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor - that open door to your great land. The radiating light and flame of divine love from the gracious Goddess of Liberty through that statue (whose "likeness" it is) is a much more powerful protection to your Eastern seaboard and entire nation than any unascended being has any idea. As a gigantic focus of true Mother-love, illumination and protective power, that statue is shown holding in its left arm a book and in its right hand a torch. Why this particular symbology? Also - why are those God-inspired words of blessed Emma Lazarus inscribed upon the statue's base: "Give me your tired - your poor - Your huddled masses - yearning to breathe free. ... I lift My lamp beside the Golden Door!" Surely no one thinks these words to express mere sentimentality; they convey very real meaning to all who will think upon them. What is real liberty? It is opportunity to use life constructively and so fulfill one's divine plan (or "reason for being"). The word "liberty" comes from "libra" which means "book" and the book held in the left arm of the Statue of Liberty represents "the book which contains the Law of Life." The torch, of course, represents illumination, by means of which all who live in America and all who enter therein from elsewhere may be enabled not only to read - but completely to understand and apply the Law of Life - I AM - which understanding and loving co-operation therewith brings true freedom! Many are the love shrines and foci of the accumulated energies of lifestreams who, in the past, have loved liberty and freedom more than life itself in many lands - sacrificing their all for them. To our beloved chelas in every land we say - "Be ever grateful - even as we of the ascended host are - for everyone and every activity in your land which has brought and is now bringing greater light and liberty to your people." We mention America in this Pearl today because of her divine destiny - that for which she was created - to be the heart of the world in the permanent golden age which is quite rapidly opening before all. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty! Therefore, a strong and grateful love for one's country (not only his native land but also for his "adopted" nation) and a fervently determined desire to have them well-governed and invincibly protected at all times should not be considered as belonging only to a specified few who are able to dedicate their entire time and energies thereto. Our loyal chelas will do all they can to this end - making at least one daily call to us and like calls should also go forth from every beating heart who lives, moves and has his (or her) being within the spacious borders of this dear land. Will you give us of your life for this purpose that we may have the authority necessary to be given from your octave - to enable us to act for you? Your manifest Freedom - I AM - Saint Germain (The Ascended Master) _________________________________________________ Note: Gracious reader! May we offer a suggested decree for daily use? "Beloved `I AM' Presence - I think thee for my birth Into that lovely nation Which has been `home' for me on earth." "Now be that land America - Or elsewhere on earth's sod; I call through her Love's violet fire To raise her now to God." "Give Cosmic Light's protection To all that's good and true; Hold Freedom there inviolate - Let God's Will govern too!" "Hold for her and her people Eternal Peace to reign; Until for every nation Light governs there again!" ****** Chapter 21 Gautama Buddha - May 29, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 21 - Gautama Buddha - May 29, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers, Dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our Beloved Gautama Speaks: In memory of my final physical birth (in the month of May) upon this earth which I so dearly love, I bring you here a special release of permanent blessing to you and your worlds - the feelings of my peace and full gathered momentums of perfection which I gathered during my long sojourn in the unascended state. These shall act for you like a mighty magnet of divine love, drawing you ever onward and onward and upward - into your personal victory in the light! From the perfection of divine love and light did all life here originally come forth and thereto, one day, shall it all return. So has each of us truthfully told you, over and over again, We know - but - has that truth become real to you? Do you really believe it to be the divine destiny - not only of yourself - but of your fellowman and have you consciously begun your journey thither? If you do and have, then you will diligently set about to rid your consciousness of all sense of "separateness" and "bigotry" concerning life's expressions and, as you do so, divine wisdom will assist you by giving you its discriminating intelligence - always to ascertain "the fitness of things". This keeps all in divine order. Thus wise were those who first embodied upon this planet - the era spoken of as "The Garden of Eden" which really means "The Garden of Wisdom". Unfortunately for mankind, much of the instruction brought here in the past by the great avatars and divine teachers have had imposed upon them "human" concepts; so much so that many of their teachings serve today rather to divide men's hearts than to unite them. When those teachings were originally expounded, brotherly love was not only advocated therein, but actually expressed in their daily living by those who accepted those teachings - with and among each other - in all cases. This unity of brotherly love the beloved Jesus symbolized at "The Last Supper" when he offered his disciples the one cup from which all drank. Certainly this same truth did I declare to all my disciples in presenting to them a "Way of Life" in my "Eightfold Path" of righteousness. Loving one's neighbor as himself and serving his brother's needs as faithfully as he would his own, brings about a most wonderful consciousness of oneness with God by serving his life expressing through another - unconditionally, everywhere! Today, as many of the unascended of mankind are beginning to look with great hope to the Great White Brotherhood to produce here permanent peace and perfection, we, from our octave, also look with equal (if not greater!) hope to the beloved I AM Presence of you and all mankind to bring about that state of consciousness in each one of full receptivity of feeling for that which we can and so much want to give. We look also for devoted chelas who will ever keep open their inner ear - listening for directions from the Holy Christ Self within - that blessed being through whom we often speak to your outer selves. "As above - so below". If the "here" of earth is ever to become like the "there" of our realms, unascended mankind shall have to have poured through their feeling worlds our feeling of divine friendship with all of life. Only with such a consciousness expressed one to the other can the practical manifestation of eternal world peace be attained. Please do not look to another to draw forth these feelings from us - just let each one personally feel the joyous opportunity so to do. Ask us to give you our feelings for all life and then earnestly endeavor to practice that divine understanding and tolerance for others - not allowing the outer self to so quickly criticize, condemn or even have an opinion. Your beloved Saint Germain has given you great wisdom when he has asked you to think, feel and say (concerning others): "There is only God in action in that individual - and with the "human" I am not concerned". Even as I humbly serve in my present exalted office of "The Lord of the World," still I AM Your Brother of Light and Comrade Always - Gautama _________________________________________________ ***** 21.1 Prayer to Gautama ***** Note: We lovingly offer the decree below for your daily use: "Beloved great Gautama - (In the name of my I AM) - I ask thee for thy feeling Of God-love for every man. I ask for understanding And the gift of tolerance too; That I may help - not hinder - The good folks try to do. I ask thee for thy blessing Of peace that has withstood All `human' strife for ages - Bringing now Christ brotherhood! Beloved great Gautama - Flood all thy love through me; And through all life evolving here To set it quickly free!" ****** Chapter 22 Mother Mary - June 5, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 22 - Mother Mary - June 5, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers, dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our beloved Mother Mary speaks - So tremendously grateful am I today for the opportunity afforded me by the Great Cosmic Law to bring to you - individually - my feeling of such protective, encouraging and sustaining love as cannot possibly be understood by the unascended of mankind. Within the golden-pink flaming substance of Divine Love with which I am flooding your worlds as you read these words is my sincere and intense desire to see our worlds illumined and brought into Divine order; your bodies well, strong and youthful in appearance and, in general, my love desires for you all of that which makes your every breath a happiness and gratitude for life. "How can such a delightful state of consciousness be achieved?" you ask. First of all, by claiming it as your own - your Divine birthright (which it truly is!), with an absolute conviction and knowing that such is God's will for you - to be and to have. Then, certain of this truth - where is the power, influence or ability in this world to prevent its actual outpicturing for you? Think on this! Now, how does one claim this perfection which, according to outer appearances does not seem yet to appear? Again - I must refer you to the constant practice of turning one's attention to the Holy Christ Self within his beating heart, which Holy Christ Self is the immaculate concept of each one's own true being. As you so well know (and I do hope you never tire of hearing it) - I can give you rather specific help here for the holding of the immaculate concept for every electron of life belonging to this planet earth is my particular specialization of service to the Great White Brotherhood. "One-pointedness" is absolutely essential to the gathering of momentums of power and the development of this God-virtue by me in many, many embodiments before my ascension - was the preparation required to be able to be entrusted with the tremendous responsibility of forming the Sacred Hearts of the humanity of an entire planet. "One-pointedness" and "simplicity" are not too dissimilar and it has been said that simplicity is the keynote of understanding. I say to you today that the accretion of knowledge (which is often considered to be "education" in the outer world today) expressed in complexity of idea and word may be honored by many of the people of this world but such intellectual accretions certainly have not brought the world much freedom from strife or the enjoyment of permanent peace - without which not even the outer personal consciousness can continue to function indefinitely. Let me say to you today in the deepest love I can release, that the simplicity of just being one's self is a very wonderful way to begin the perfecting of one's world. Many times the personality endeavors to build a concept around itself which it would like others to accept as true concerning it, or in a desire to advance its own interests it copies the "virtues" of another. In such endeavors the individual really creates a consciousness of unreality, for, by copying another, the individual is certainly not expressing either himself or the other person. He is merely copying that which he sees and thinks the other one to be. Do you see? So, to copy another is but impeding one's own spiritual progress. Therefore, it is never really wise nor necessary for one lifestream to copy another, because there are not two lifestreams - or even the Divine plans thereof - created by God to be exactly alike anywhere in infinity. Each one has a magnificent God-given "Individuality" and at least one priceless gift to offer life - which gift no one else can possibly give! However, as often happens, if there begins to stir within the personality a deep desire to improve and perfect itself, instead of copying another lifestream, let it look to and copy the constructive way of life of the Christ within. Let it start its perfecting process by emulating the expression of the God-qualities of Divine Love, forgiveness, patience, poise, gratitude, generosity and so on - those qualities which every one knows to be the nature of the Christ, until the outer and inner selves become so close that one's own individual outpicturing of perfection just naturally "show through." So, beloved ones, your God-success is of supreme importance to us - for we have but one desire for you - to see you become your own perfection! Let me help you to this end - and remember! I always come at your call! A Builder of Sacred Hearts "I AM" - Your Cosmic Mother Mary (Mother of Jesus) ****** Chapter 23 Portia - June 12, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 23 - Portia - June 12, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our beloved Portia (Goddess of Justice and Opportunity) speaks: How happy I am to have been invited to speak today to our loyal and faithful chelas who presently are forming the foundation of that blessed "Lighthouse of Freedom" activity! In this, my very first message to you in "The Pearl of Wisdom," I wish to bring you as much as I can of my feeling of the comfort, joy, gratitude and peace which is within the virtue of divine justice. As you know, divine justice and God-freedom are quite inseparable and so it is indeed the grateful joy of my lifestream to be the Divine Complement of my adored and adorable "Francis" (which name means "Freedom" and by which he is known at Inner levels), but better known to his chelas in the world of form as "Saint Germain" (which name means "Holy Brother" and is so symbolical of the one who has given so much of himself to the bringing forth, sustaining and expanding on earth world brotherhood, uniting the Christ natures of all everywhere). May I very kindly and yet truthfully say that it is really not within the understanding of an unascended being to be able either to cognize intellectually or feel emotionally the depths and breadths of our love for all of God's creation - and more particularly for each of you who has given so much of that which makes up your physical existence here - your time, attention, energy and financial substance - into the "Cause of Freedom." For the eternal victory of this "cause" on earth your beloved Saint Germain really "lives, moves and has his being." His steadfast consecration to this purpose all through the ages has been and still is almost unbelievable - even to us - and it is most beautiful to behold! Now, beloved Gracious Readers - I have just told you of my (and our) combined love for you - individually and collectively. Therefore, whenever you think of me as "Portia - Goddess of Justice," will you let my love draw you very close to me, thus dissolving from your world all fear of divine justice? You know "Perfect Love casts out fear" and I would like us to be close heart - friends - if you are willing. Now, divine justice is not too popular a subject and, as a matter of fact, the presence of neither the Goddess of Purity nor myself is too much called for or sought after among mankind. Our lovely sister of light Kuan Yin (Goddess of Mercy) is called into action here much more often than we, for mercy makes one feel so comfortable and brings a sweet sense of forgiveness and release. This of course is because of the feeling within it of the freeing power of the violet transmuting flame. O, beloved ones, mankind are so bent on having justice for themselves, but how many are anxiously willing to give justice to life? And where should justice be given first? Should it not be given to the most important being in the Universe to each lifestream - his own beloved "I AM" Presence, the Source of his life? Has it been really just - for ages, mind you - for that outer self so boldly to abscond with the energies of that Presence (which are its very own life) - then carelessly to use that life as though it were the most common and easily obtained thing in existence? The average individual imposes upon this glorious God-life just "hit or miss" anything and everything that discordant outer self desires to think, feel, say or do. Blessed chelas - that life which so freely floods into your bodies minds and worlds every second of every day -(waking or sleeping!) - is God's own pure and perfect light-essence, by the use of which he creates all the manifestations of perfection; the mighty cosmos (just a little of which you can see in the starry skies at night) being but an infinitesimal part of his great scheme of creation - which is without beginning and without end! Now, do you not think that one day there must be an accounting for the waste of this most precious gift of the Godhead - life itself? It must be so! Then - the inconsistency of it! When that outer self is somehow or other interfered with in the attaining of its desires or when some of its substance and possessions are claimed by another - what a stir and hub-bub goes up from the "human" and how the prayers begin to arise: "Oh God! Give us divine justice here!" Especially among those who have not as yet begun personal purification of their worlds, the "conscience" (that "still, small voice within") sometimes gently reminds them that perhaps they have not been divinely just to life and they know and feel within themselves that sometime, somewhere, somehow - all things must be made right. Therefore, the average individual would rather not get too close to one who embodies divine justice -(the perfect balance of life) and would rather not have the subject brought too often to their attention. So long as the pressures of retribution are not bearing down upon them at the moment, they prefer to live on, day after day, in the "false paradise" of thinking that perhaps that "day of Judgment" may never come!!! Alas! Such can never be the case - for, while the law is most beneficent, yet it is also most exact and, although I know it is small comfort to so inform mankind, yet I would not be their true friend if I did not tell them so. Now, I said above that divine justice and God-freedom are inseparable and I might say, too - their combined service is indispensable to all life! Do you realize that if full justice were meted out to every lifestream, compelling every jot and tittle of thought, feeling, spoken word and deed to be perfectly balanced in the "eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth" style, that the process would be interminable and, really, no flesh would ever be "saved." It is the glorious grace and forgiving love of the merciful freedom flame (violet flame) that speeds up the balancing process for each one who will be wise and grateful enough to call it into action to blaze up constantly in, through and around him and his world - as well as through the beings and worlds of all he contacts and all belonging to earth's evolutions still unascended, of which he, himself, is as yet a part. So, beloved of our hearts - in our "Pearl of the week" we would so love to create within your dear hearts and feeling worlds an ardent desire always to give divine justice to your own beloved "I AM" Presence by so living each day that its energies of perfection are not constantly requalified by your outer self with that which is unbecoming to those who represent us in the world of form. More and more and more of the violet transmuting flame will enable you to do this and be assured that our beloved Saint Germain and myself are ever ready and, oh, so lovingly willing to hear your slightest call for help and answer it instantly! To the mercy of my beloved do I now commend you for, remember, it was he who once again brought divine justice into your worlds to bless you! Justly proud of your attainment thus far - "I AM" (The Ascended Lady Master) Portia - Goddess of Justice _________________________________________________ ***** 23.1 Prayer to Portia ***** NOTE: We offer you, gracious readers, a suggested decree for daily use: In the name and authority of my own beloved "I AM" Presence, I make this call: O Portia - lovely Portia! Now weigh me in your scales - And help me give love's balance To God's light that never fails. That lovely "I AM" Presence Whose light gives only good - O help me use its priceless gifts As my Holy Christ Self would. Let me give justice first to life - Then it must come to me! Let me express thy balance true - In faith, in hope, in charity! And when at last my course is run And the last wrong's been made right - I'll praise you - Portia - Francis too - As I ascend in light! ****** Chapter 24 Beloved Kuan Yin - June 19, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 24 - Beloved Kuan Yin - June 19, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers Dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our Exquisitely Lovely Lady of Mercy, Kuan Yin, Speaks: Dearly beloved heart-friends of mine, for practical use let me anchor into your worlds today, through the open door of your attention upon me as you read my words, my feelings of that peaceful, gentle patience with all of life. Of course, that includes your own sometimes "troublesome outer self," which still requires your patient, determined and constant use of violet fire to bring it into the dominion of Light. You will agree with me, I know, when I say that with even your own outer self you do get a bit out of patience when, through its age-old habits of thought, feeling, spoken word and action, it does not always instantly cooperate with your more spiritual plan of living. Now, the feelings of irritation, fear or anger really do no permanent good in making things right; instead, they nearly always aggravate the condition and all connected with it in any way. For those who know not the way of deliverance from such distresses, the Great Law is very merciful when such discord is not quickly transmuted into light. However, I tell you truth when I say that for those of our blessed chelas who do know of the merciful violet flame and have had thousands of proofs of its efficacy and unfailing help, the law of the very being of such a one will hold him responsible for the use of that which he knows and for his staying with it until the desired manifestation of perfection appears. Remember, it would even be better for one not to know the law at all than to know it and then not endeavor to obey it to the best of his ability. Beloved ones, this violet transmuting flame is the full power of God in action to wipe out the causes and cores of all human mistakes, regardless of how, when, where, why or by whom they were made. Its light and flame never fail to act instantly at your call. The only appearance of delay or failure there can ever be anywhere is for the vacillating outer self of the unascended to give up too easily and too soon. Keeping everlastingly at it brings success. You know, light manifests instantly for all of us! Now, why does light manifest instantly for us and seem to require time and patience on your part to await its manifestation in your worlds? Because, beloved ones, we have become its own purity and perfection, and in our personal worlds (as well as in our realm of life) there is naught of human shadow to obstruct or delay its instantaneous manifestations. Do you see? At your earnest calls light answers you instantly and goes direct (for it is intelligent substance) to the person, place, condition and thing to whom and to which it has been directed in the world of form. However, there it sometimes meets with the dense, solidified, heavy and slowly vibrating substance of discordantly qualified energy around the one in need, this shadowed substance acting like a shield (as it were) against the light until the light has had opportunity to dissolve the obstruction. Do you see? Especially when one begins his journey Home upon the path of Light, one must be very patient with himself and with others until he has transmuted the already gathered momentums of shadows of the past and reversed his age-old habits of thought, feeling, spoken word and deed which continue to make more shadows now. Surely this is logical and understandable, too. Sometimes the chelas are inclined to be quite patient with themselves but intolerant of others and this, without my saying so, is not quite the right attitude to be maintained. Now, this violet transmuting flame consciously called into action does actually dissolve (like water dissolves salt) those unfortunate condensations of distorted form created by the "human" but, again, the speed and intensity of its action depends largely upon the feelings of earnest sincerity, faith and loving gratitude in the consciousness of the one calling it forth. Then, too, since the violet fire is actually God's memory of perfection, it does more than just dissolve those forms. It actually sublimates (refines by fire) and then transmutes into the pure light-essence from whence it first came forth all that shadowed energy, returning it to the sun for repolarization. Gentle, yet tremendously positive, determined and persistent is the nature of God-patience, which is one of the many virtues contained within the flame of mercy from on high. For centuries before my ascension I so dearly loved and developed the virtue of mercy until I became the embodiment of that quality myself. Within mercy are also faith (knowing the inevitability of perfection made manifest); hope (holding to the immaculate concept until it appears); and charity (that love which will never let go of the loved one or the needs thereof until eternal perfection manifests all ways). Enough God-patience is always victorious over everything human. Perhaps some of you remember the story of the patient mother of one who, in his youth, surely appeared lost to the Church so far as his soul was concerned, for he had allowed himself to entertain all sorts of depravity. His loving mother, in gentle abiding patience, prayed for him daily, rhythmically, several times a day (and this unremittingly) for thirty years. Then one day, just while walking through the marketplace of his city at high noon, suddenly he stopped and, looking up, he stood for some time as though transfixed. From that moment on he was completely changed in nature, for his Christ Self had answered his mother's prayers and taken its command. That man so lived the balance of that embodiment that he later became "sainted" by the Church and is known today as Saint Augustine. As heart-friends and true companions of the ascended host on earth, should not all our beloved chelas endeavor now practically and daily to express the most loving patience with those human appearances as yet not transmuted in and around themselves and each other? I can help you to do this if you want my help! Call directly to me whenever those human feelings would express through you and ask me to give you my feelings of loving, patient mercy toward them. I will give it to you if you will try to feel it. Then hold the vision of divine mastery for yourself and others until that mastery does manifest. Let us make you a perfect outpouring and outpicturing of our gentle patience with all life. We are never any farther away from you than your own heartbeat and we answer your every call. Believe that, for it is true! The Gentle Patience of Almighty God, I AM Your Sister Divine, Kuan Yin (Goddess of Mercy) ****** Chapter 25 Goddess of Liberty - June 26, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 25 - Goddess of Liberty - June 26, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our Stately, Lovely and Most Loving Goddess of Liberty speaks: Beloved chelas of our gracious Saint Germain - so very dear to my heart are you who have served his cause of freedom so nobly and well in this physical appearance world these many years. As very shortly the attention of millions of living souls within your borders will turn to the rhythmic annual observance of your national Independence day, I sincerely congratulate you and all men who have within their hearts a deep and reverent feeling of selfless love for their native land. In the words of one of your God-inspired poets: "Breathes there a man with soul so dead Who never to himself hath said: 'This is my own - my native land!"? Such a lifestream with love of country deeply ingrained within him will always endeavor to hold its standards high-being a credit to its God-virtues and principles all ways. Such a one will always conduct himself and his affairs in such a manner as to make his nation respected, protected, loved and admired - all ways. After all, is not every nation just an aggregate of individual lifestreams? You know how easily the activities of even one often can seriously affect the many! As we consider for a moment the subject of "rhythms," I know you are very grateful with us for the orderly "rhythms of life". Each time the "wheel of the year" turns, bringing the remembrance of your sacred heritage of liberty and freedom here (purchased at such great cost by the lives of others!), it is a manifestation of the great progression of life's perfection - ever moving onward and upward - spiral-like-higher and higher, and there is no ultimate to its soaring. Let us just think for a moment, them of the forward-moving progression of events which have blessed your America since that first Independence day in 1776. Think of the advances here in education, medicine, science, industry and commerce - besides those in transportation, illumination, entertainment, inventions and along every line of mankind's interest and activities. Then has not the freedom so earnestly acclaimed by individual and nation on July 4, 1776 expanded tremendously - and has it not even inspired other lands to copy the exact words of your "Constitution" and governmental forms? Surely you do not think this to be just "happenstance", do you? Nothing "just happens", you know. Everything that manifests does so as the result of a previous cause or causes sent forth - and there is never any exception to this truth! Frankly, America's God-success in every way has been due - first and foremost - to the tireless, selfless, loving service of your beloved Saint Germain who - as you know - has often spoken of the land of America as his "sweetheart". So dearly does he love this land and her destiny - which is to be "The heart of Freedom" to the entire world. Of course as Columbus, discovered the existence of your western continent, in his determination to prove the world round. Most of you already know that Saint Germain represents the God-father of your great nation and my lifestream is privileged to serve with him as the God-mother thereof. You see, although unknown and "invisible" to the outer sight and consciousness of unascended mankind, every nation has a guardian spirit - one or more of the ascended or angelic host, who watch over and guard the divine plan and best interests of that nation, endeavoring always to hold its peace and loving cooperation with all the rest. Of course, when the use of human free-will enters in, certain recalcitrant natures among mankind may use that free-will destructively - to compel that into manifestation which is neither liberty nor freedom and therefore not God's divine plan. Then the God-destiny of perfection for that nation and its people may be somewhat delayed - but God's light is always victorious always has been, is now and ever shall be! Nothing is ever really important or eternal but all of God! If you will keep this truth ever before the outer consciousness, it will save you many an anxious moment and many a "heart-break" as you sometimes say. Now, from the above you can see just a little of the tender solicitude of God's ever-present love and watchful care for the welfare of his creations and that no planet and its evolutions are ever just "flung out into space to fend for themselves", but are given every possible help to develop and expand the original perfection in which they first came forth from his heart, head and hand. Sometimes, in looking over this dear nation which, despite all the needed changes today to make it completely free is still the only altar of freedom left on earth where this much of that God-virtue is enjoyed, we see the limitations binding the people: i.e., race consciousness of age, disease and so-called "death"; the acceptance of lack and poverty; manifestations of selfishness by those who have much of this world's goods, "lording it over" those who (to human appearances) have not - and all the attendant miseries to body, mind and soul which these bring. Of course, these have nothing whatsoever to do with God-freedom, which should be manifesting in all its glory in your land - then radiating out to fill and bless every land on earth! The words "Sweet land of liberty" in your song do not apply just to America - for this whole earth shall one day be the "Sweet land of liberty" - all her people living in the peace and happiness of Christ Brotherhood for all eternity. Remember always, beloved of my heart that to desire independence - personally and as a nation is good! However - remember this too! One can never be wholly independent - until that one is in - dependent! Do you see? Until one completely surrenders to his "I AM" Presence within - allowing that Holy Christ Self there to direct his ways, guide and guard his activities and supply him with the abundance of every good thing, such a one must depend upon persons, places, conditions and things and, therefore, has not yet declared his own independence day! Think this through! Use! Use! Use! that violet transmuting flame - heart flame of freedom - until your bodies, minds, worlds and affairs are an example of its freedom - right here in this world. Be an outpost, outpouring and outpicturing of "the light of God that never fails" to produce perfection everywhere it is called into action. Just be yourself - natural, happy, loving and forgiving - a friend to all. Then shall others want to be what you are! You have my full God-liberty so to do and thus shall you come to know real and eternal freedom too! A Cosmic Mother of Light to all - "I AM" - Your Goddess of Liberty ****** Chapter 26 Saint Germain - July 3, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 26 - Saint Germain - July 3, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers Dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our Most Gracious Ascended Master Friend and Brother of Light - Saint Germain - Speaks: Good and faithful friends of the freedom flame, let us think together now about courtesy - one of the most delightful, joy-filling and comforting qualities of the expression of my glorious seventh ray and flame of mercy and compassion to and for all life. While among the unascended of today it may sometimes seem as though courtesy and gallantry (as expressed in the past - even upon this earth), now belong to vanishing customs - yet I say to those of you who long for those "olden days" - take heart! With the coming in now of the golden age (which my seventh age and flame are making possible here), there shall be not only a revival but a permanent returning into the daily lives of mankind of the gentle code of ethics and way of life which makes of every man a "gentle man" (a word which, by the way, is of my own "coining") and of every woman a real "lady." So far has the attention of modern society been allowed to wander from the refinements and "niceties" of God-culture and behavior one to the other, that it is sometimes thought to be a mark of a bit of weakness or "foppishness" for one to be a "gentleman" and to go out of one's way to be courteous, considerate and thoughtful of the welfare and comfort of others. Oh, dear ones! One day mankind shall be able to see for themselves that we speak truth when we say that, in our octave, the Ascended Lady Masters are everything the true word "lady" implies. Their beauty of appearance, demeanor and service to life are extremely graceful and most courteous; yet could you see them in action - wielding tremendous powers of light with such ease and efficacy, it would be quite unbelievable to your outer consciousness. The pure happiness and God-satisfaction of loving friendship and companionship which is enjoyed by and with these "ladies of heaven" fills our realms with just the sheer joy of being. Most dearly do we all love each other - in full God-purity in every way - for we live only to expand light's perfection everywhere! At all times we are enthusiastically desirous of helping one another to create, sustain and expand Light's blessings (either in our realm or the world of form - whatever and wherever such projects might be). Therefore, even as we become aware of the thought of another who might desire our help, often that help is joyously offered - even before it is requested! One day this same code of "loving living" shall be made manifest on this dear earth - even as it is in heaven. Such is the will of the Father for all to enjoy! Now, let us consider for a moment the real meaning of the word courtesy. It implies that which one would only do or say in "court" - in the presence of the king or ruling personage. So, when one examines the "fabric" of courtesy and the nature thereof, it becomes quite apparent to even a casual observer that that "fabric" has been loomed in heaven and should be transported to earth - here to be fashioned into the most transcendent garments (consciousness) of heaven's charm and worn by all in the world of form. Should it not be true that all of those who serve our cause of the expanding seventh ray express our God-quality of courtesy in daily living? I know you will agree with me that they should. Is this so very difficult to do, when you know of your own individualized, all-loving and all-powerful Presence of God, I AM - whose very life - just a moment ago - was beating its own heart? However, because of its tremendous love for you, it freely, joyously and constantly releases part of its very life which forms your "silver cord" - the conveyor into your world of the life of your God-source - anchoring it within your beating heart to give your physical body life. Is it not very fortunate for all that the wisdom of God thus made it impossible for any to be separated from that Source? Such a thing could never be - the only separation that seems to manifest is in the consciousness of the one who has forgotten the truth of his being. Today, remembering now that that Presence is there, should one not always live so that he only says and does that which he would say and do in the presence of his own blazing light-self? That would make such a one the most courteous of all beings - not only to us but to all the life he ever contacted. Thus facing the light of one's own Presence in thought and feeling, such a one could not possibly concentrate his attention upon the faults and shadows in others' worlds - thereby intensifying and expanding them and, eventually, drawing those same errors into his own experience. Even though such errors are unmistakably apparent to him, such a one would say: "My very own beloved I AM Presence! Just as I have your beautiful Presence of divine Love as my eternal source, guide and supplier of everything I shall ever require for my eternal victory, so that other individual (or group of them) also has such an all-loving being of perfection as his (or their) Source. Therefore, I accept their Christ Self as the only acting Presence there and now call it into action to make all things right. With the human I am not concerned!" O, dear hearts! Forgiveness and mercy are such real parts of courtesy and, in outer mind alone, one never knows what pressures of shadow are being endured by another - the outer mind knows only that which it sees or hears acting through that one. When another seems to be discourteous to you - take no offense! In so taking none, you will give none - either to your own life, to us or to another unascended. That one who is so disturbing to your outer self is simply another part of life like unto your own which, wise or ignorant, is seeking to find its proper place and expression - perhaps much less equipped with the light of divine wisdom than yourself. Since all life is destined to arrive one day at the same goal - then your brother's life is "bound for the same port" as your own; although his ship may be taking a different course than yours. To hold such an attitude toward others will make it much easier for you always to express our courteous feelings to others, whether you think it to be deserved there or not. Try this one-pointed way of life - consistently and persistently - always endeavoring to be sufficiently patient with yourself and others until this new trend of thought, feeling, speech and deed has had ample time and opportunity to take hold. Then it will just naturally manifest itself for and through you! I AM the eternal manifestation of God's courtesy to all! (The Ascended Master) Saint Germain ***** 26.1 Prayer to the lovely I AM Presence ***** Note: Gracious reader! Again we joyously offer a decree for your use: "My lovely I AM Presence - Make me thy love divine! Let me express to all of life The courtesy that's thine! Let me not live for self alone - But comfort give to others; For the life in one is the life in all - And this makes all men brothers! So - as great Nature's freedom Let's each plant fulfill its plan - And, growing side by side - give Their varied gifts to man - Then let me - beautiful I AM - (All the rest of the way I go!) - Express thy grace and courtesy, That freedom all may know!" ****** Chapter 27 El Morya - July 10, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 27 - El Morya - July 10, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers dedicated to Love's Service the Word Around - Our Gracious and beloved Morya El speaks: Loving so greatly - as we do - the God consciousness of happiness (which all ascended beings have wholly become!), our feeling of reverence for all life keep us constant in seeking out ways and means by which we may reach the outer minds of unascended mankind in order that we may be able to show them how to transmute into that happiness which we enjoy the causes and cores in their worlds of that which manifests as exactly the opposite. Of course, we always hold inviolate in our minds that immaculate concept (God-image) of the divine plan we are fulfilling in whatever project we serve. So, when working with mankind (in whose realm human shadows sometimes attempt to interfere with or delay the manifestations of perfection), we give absolutely no power of any kind to such shadows but, wherever possible - when the great law will permit it - we simply pass the violet transmuting flame through that shadowed substance and raise it into pure light. I say "wherever possible" advisedly here because, at times, the great law may demand that the unascended chelas with whom we are serving must personally transmute such shadows, particularly if they are of their own making - either in the past or present. Do you see? It is merciful indeed that most destructive karmas may be transmuted into light by the use of that beautiful violet transmuting flame on a "wholesale" scale - but there are nearly always a few in each lifestream which must be balanced "person to person" by those concerned therewith. In such instances, there are important lessons to be learned by each one so involved. Now, under no circumstances do we ever interfere with the free will of any lifestream and in no way is any service to us or our cause ever compulsory. All such service must be offered and given willingly and joyously by the chela. You will notice that I said "joyously," for that which is done in a sense of "duty" or a sort of "lifeless routine" and not in the spirit of happy gratitude for opportunity to serve cannot be used by us. Such service would be composed of shadowed energies and we only ever use light - the only substance which completely manifests, sustains and expands true perfection! Of course, because of human limitations - physical tire and sense of strain - sometimes the most worthy of chelas does cast upon his service to us some shadow; but this we are nearly always allowed first to purify and then to use. The great law is most merciful and always allows the chelas ample time and opportunity to reorient their habits of thought, feeling, spoken word and deed of the ages. When this is completed in anyone's world, the Holy Christ Self is then in complete and eternal command and there can be no more mistakes of any kind made. Now, after the ascension, each lifestream so victorious is given a certain length of time to adjust his consciousness to that of his own "I AM" Presence which he has then become, as well as to his new environment, associations, etc. Then, when the law sees that such a one is ready for the next step (for perpetual motion is the law of all energy and there is never any static in our realm), such a one is then offered a choice. He may either proceed upward into the realm of nirvana (where he ever continues to arise in the consciousness of greater and greater perfection in and of divine love); or, in his now-perfected state of consciousness (the use and powers thereof being of such great assistance to help the unascended to reach his height also), he is given opportunity to postpone his journey into nirvana, as many of us have done who love to serve and raise mankind. Thus he would abide in our realm and serve with us, at least until earth is wholly free. Even here, everyone is wholly God-free to make whatever choice he desires and there is never any feeling or even suggestion of disappointment to the great law or to any of us if such a one does not choose to so serve, preferring to go on with further personal development. But, oh, the joy that is felt by us when "new recruits" are added to our numbers; for each one brings with him (or her) a different gathered momentum of God-virtues and combinations thereof - having qualified his own life individually and in varied ways all through the course of his many embodiments. Now, this service which we offer to give to mankind is a wholly selfless one of real divine love and, when we do offer so to serve, there are no special dispensations or favors granted us by the great law. We simply take on the task "as is" - slow and tedious though it may later seem to be and, almost always (except in the case of our own conscious chelas) - we really serve "unknown, unhonored and unsung," as you so often say! Of course we never serve or do anything for reward or "credit" - for we live always and only for the joy of raising all life. However, the "credit" for that which is of merit and productive of much betterment for the people is taken by those embodied ones through whom the outer service is given and such lifestreams, as a rule, do not even suspect that we exist! Their inspiration and ability to create, manifest, sustain and expand their service in the world of form may belong almost wholly to the ascended one! We are just grateful that such activities do expand "the light of the world" and continue impersonally to live our motto: "We begin; we persevere - and we win!" Now, in your present consciousness, do you not sometimes feel a little "hurt" or "slighted" when, with a heart full of love and desire to help another - you offer that one some of our wisdom which you have proven for yourselves, only to have it spurned, ridiculed or just refused? This happened simply because - at that moment - the light of the needy one was so encased in the shadows of his distresses that he could not spiritually "see" as clearly as you do. Since we see with true inner sight, it makes it easier for us to be patient and understanding. We know that the heart of every one is so good and that that heart really wants the light. Disappointment is never allowed in our realm and so - if mankind spurn our offer of the proven wisdom of the centuries, we just temporarily discontinue further endeavors there and watch carefully for a better opportunity next time to connect directly with the Holy Christ Self. That lovely one is our true friend and yours, too - that one will never fail us! So, my lovely ones! Never for the fraction of a second allow your precious minds or hearts to entertain any notion whatsoever that the ascended masters ever scold you; are ever displeased with, disappointed in or disapproving of you, individually or collectively! No ascended master possibly could create, entertain or express such feelings. We never blame, criticize or condemn you in any way! No matter how many mistakes you seem still to make - to quickly get up and try again is the fulfillment of the law for you. Remember! No one ever "fails" unless he wants to - for one can always get up one more time than he falls down! Then keep on trying and calling for our help and you, too, shall be living our motto: "I begin - I persevere and I win!" _________________________________________________ NOTE: Another suggested decree for use by our gracious readers: "In the name of my own beloved "I AM" Presence - I decree: O Morya - gracious Morya! You are my friend divine! Knowing the will of God for me - Help me my world refine! Make me God-faith in action And love's protection too; Let me remember it's God's life I use in all I do! Make me sweet mercy's presence Of the violet flame and ray; Let me live truth and purity - And walk in wisdom's way! And then, to help my brother - By the proofs of law I know - Let me - in ministration - Light the way all men should go!" ****** Chapter 28 Jesus - July 17, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 28 - Jesus - July 17, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers, dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our Most beloved Ascended Master Jesus speaks: Especially among the whirling energies of the mankind who live in the busy western world of today, there are but very few who ever take the time or get quiet enough to cognize or even believe in the presence and service of those transcendent God-friends of life - the angelic host. These beautiful beings serve on all seven of the rays of the Godhead to earth and embody the very essence - as well as all the virtues - of divine love itself. They are ever alert and always instantly ready to go into action - whenever and wherever called forth; whether that call comes from our realm or from yours, from those who do know of these beings, accept their reality and call for their help - help that is needed right here - practically - in the physical appearance world. One day, when all the doubts and fears of the personality consciousness have been cleared away, all three of the evolutions belonging to the earth shall know each other well again. Then shall they all be able to walk, talk and serve together in loving cooperation, for so they did in the beginning of mankind's embodiment here and so it was intended to remain. However, because of the slowing-up and therefore lowering of the vibratory action of mankind's forms and their attendant five outer senses (which came about through discordant use of his creative faculties - thought, feeling, spoken word and deed), they were unable longer to cognize the lovely forms of light worn by the angelic hosts or the elementals. The beings in both of these kingdoms - the elemental and angelic - are quite as real as the physical bodies of humanity and they both have taken the vow of absolute obedience to mankind. The elementals have offered to serve man's physical needs and the angels to serve his spiritual requirements. O, beloved ones! None of us who are ascended today could possibly have gained that victory without the assistance of the angelic host. Personally, I had tremendous help from them during those periods of strenuous trial which enabled me to be victorious in each instance. As many of you know, my beloved mother was (and of course still is!) the Archeiai (Divine Complement) of the Great Archangel Raphael - which made her a constant focus for the presence and activities of the angels. So, even from birth in my final embodiment here, I enjoyed the radiating help of the angels, even though, in those days, they were not always visible to my physical sight. Now, particularly speaking to those of you who are so vitally interested in the gaining of your ascension at the close of this embodiment, I assure you that this is possible of accomplishment for many. Believe me when I say that the ascension is no ordinary achievement of any lifestream and truly requires the assistance - not only of those already ascended (those who have gone before and know the way) - but of the angelic host also! The very radiation of these beings into one's world is of more help to any unascended lifestream on "The path of Light" than mere words can convey. Call them about you daily - beloved ones - accepting them to be just as real and of service to you as the clothing you wear! In the name and authority of your own beloved "I AM" Presence, call for legions of the angels of violet fire and its beneficent transmuting power constantly to abide in, through and around your world and intensify that flame for you. Call for angels of faith to abide with you - if you need more of that quality - they to keep alive within you those feelings of faith which will fulfill your calls. These will keep your faith uninterfered with by human doubts and that wavering consciousness which delays your manifestations so often. Call for limitless legions of the healing angels to come and abide with those whom you know need that service - especially directing these to go into all hospitals, mental institutions, prisons and all foci of mankind's need. You see, over every hospital and focus of the manifestations of mankind's discord everywhere in the world, there abides at least one great angel deva of healing who, incidentally, is responsible for at least ninety percent of all the healings which take place in such institutions. From those of us particularly interested in the healing of mankind's physical and mental distresses comes tremendous blessing and much honor to those in the medical and nursing professions who serve to the very best of their abilities - making the conditions whereby the bodies and minds of the people may be balanced and made comfortable again. However, surely everyone knows that only God and his messengers can do the actual healing and, too, much depends upon the loving cooperation of the patient in this regard. Beloved ones! You have no friends among the unascended who are as lovingly faithful to you and your needs as are the angels of light and love. They never even expect from you a return to themselves for that which they give and ask only for more opportunity to serve. Enough attention from anyone to these great angels and constant endeavor to live in their ways of divine love, peace and gratitude for opportunity to expand God's light will enable them to become visible and tangible to the physical sight. Then you will have full proof of all I have told you today - and more!

Christian Soldiers" is, in reality, anything but militant in its original purpose, for this melody is one of those played by "The Music of the Spheres," from the combined musical tones released by each of the planets belonging to the same system as the earth. As each planet spins in its orbit, it releases into space its cosmic tone and the musical key-note of the planet earth is "F" below "middle C." Certainly there is naught but God-peace that can and does express in the Great Cosmos about you everywhere. Many years ago, a rather insignificant parish priest of the Catholic Church - during some moments of quietude and spiritual contemplation - "tuned in" to what is known as "The Inner Realms" and, hearing this lovely melody, wrote it down for posterity to enjoy. Let us assure our gracious readers that there is no such thing as war, conflict or strife of any kind known anywhere except upon your planet earth and in her atmosphere. For that reason, as some of you know, has the "ring-pass-not" of blue flame been placed around earth's atmosphere some distance out - a protective wall made of the actual living bodies of those who serve as legions of blue flame. These are tangible, breathing, highly intelligent beings of great light who joyously and willingly stand constant guard - allowing none of the discords of earth to get out of her atmosphere to despoil any other part of life. At the same time, they draw here and admit to the earth and her atmosphere everyone and everything possible to assist in her quicker purification. One day, as the permanent golden age proceeds into greater and greater perfection, the need for this "ring-pass-not" of angelic protection shall be no more and the earth shall be radiating her light into the Universe - together with her cosmic musical tone. Until recently this tone was vibrating below its perfect pitch - sounding quite flat. However, as the vibrations of the earth are being quickened by a more general and intensive acceptance and use of the violet transmuting flame, the musical tone of the earth is being raised to its perfect pitch and there shall it be maintained forever. Now, there is never any need for the protection of armor in our octave, where all is eternal peace! However, when the shadows began to appear upon earth - growing more and more formidable as time went on - the angelic legions from our realm (and even the ascended masters when serving in and through the astral plane) donned an armor of blazing white light as protection against the human effluvia. As time went on, certain of mankind (with keener inner perception and sight than others) were able to see the angelic legions in their armor of light substance which, to "human" eyes looked like metal. So, as men went into battle against each other, they began to copy and wear these suits of armor - making them of the substances of this world. Now, martial-type music belongs primarily to the activities and beings of the first ray, although sometimes used by those who serve on the fourth and fifth rays - these three expressing a more dynamic type of service than the other four of the seven rays. Its use stirs up the living energies within the body, mind and soul of all who hear it and produces a great lift in consciousness. In military activities, one of its uses has been to draw more energy into the outer self by causing the "silver cord" from the heart of the "I AM" Presence into the physical heart to expand. Thus do those greater currents of pure, scintillating life rush into the physical and then out into the four lower bodies. So, used before going into battle, martial music releases more energy to the soldier to use in conflict. By my very nature I have always so loved peace and as St. Francis of Assissi, I earnestly extolled that virtue. Through those feelings of sustained peace, I was enabled to hold that uninterrupted attunement with God which enabled his light to flow through me - producing thereby many so-called "miracles." As had been said, there are really no such thing as `miracles' - for these are simply God's ways, uninterfered with by man. In these days when the greater perfection of the golden age is just beginning to express, I urge our lovely chelas to believe us when we say that there is great need for even hourly vigilance by unascended mankind to hold the peace! This can be done more easily by the chela's being conscious many times a day of what may be called "The Armor of the Spirit (of peace - which is light!)" - referring here to the invincible tube of light protection. This fends off the shadowed vibrations of distress which abide within the atmosphere in which our chelas must continue to move at the present time. Within this perfect tube of light - peace alone can reign - but - remember! Eternal vigilance is the price thereof! Let us suggest that it would be well for all of our chelas - whether (in this embodiment) they are of an impulsive and very energetic nature or not! - daily to call for the removal from their worlds of all destructive etheric records - particularly the causes and cores of all violence (or tendencies thereto); that energy to be purified by the violet fire and transmuted into the feelings of the God-peace of the Holy Christ Self. The fiat of this age is "Light's Victory for all". This can be achieved by all of our sincere chelas who are daily moving forward into more and more light - not in a spirit of opposition to persons, places, conditions or things, but a confident acceptance of the supreme power of light over everything human. Then -"onward - Christ-like victors" - unto your eternal victory. "I AM" - Your Gentle Brother of Light and Cosmic Teacher - (The Ascended Master) Kuthumi _________________________________________________ NOTE: A suggested decree for our gracious readers: In the name and authority of my own beloved `I AM' Presence, I speak directly to the beloved Kuthumi - Sweet and gentle brother - Teacher - master - friend! Keep your peaceful feelings Flooding mine to the end Of all my earthly journey - 'Til my victory's won Keep me ever constant To the task I have begun. By ever-blazing violet fire Remove the cause and core Of violence and conflict Transmute them evermore Into that golden flame of peace Which, taking full command - Illumines, heals and raises me Into God's `promised land'." ****** Chapter 30 El Morya - July 31, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 30 - El Morya - July 31, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers, dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our Beloved Ascended Master Morya speaks: Today I bring to you my feeling of true Divine Love and an understanding heart - ever so grateful for even the slightest endeavor made by each of you to accept our reality, understand our suggested instruction and motive for offering it - which, of course, is always and only for the purpose of lifting and raising you and your worlds out of everything human into all that is divine. This perfect state of being all of us have become and shall enjoy for all of eternity - never to be interfered with by anything less. So vitally interested are we in the spiritual progress of each one and so patiently hopeful we are, too - that a part of our consciousness is ever watchfully waiting to catch the attention of every blessed one - for that attention is an invitation to us to blaze our light into the world of the student. Remember! While it is impossible for each one to qualify with human imperfection that constantly flowing, pure, scintillating light from the heart of his or her own "I AM" Presence - (forming his "silver cord") - yet that which comes into his world from us can never be re-qualified by anything human! That continues ever to expand it own perfection (from our octave) in the student's world - like "leaven in the loaf." This is an important point to consider and accept! Now, of course, the master always chooses the student - never the reverse! There is a difference between just a "student" of the truth and a "chela" thereof. This latter word we use in the Orient to signify one who is wholly dedicated - within and without - to the service of the light and full, loving, joyous cooperation with the ascended masters' desires and requests. Such a one's whole life is dedicated here on earth to the doing of the masters' will and the furthering of his "cause." Such a one has proven himself to be dependable to the master and one who will neither intentionally or otherwise waste the master's energies nor neglect his service. It is a real spiritual honor to be called "my chela" by an ascended one and, at some point on each one's path, as one "keeps on keeping on," he eventually becomes an "accepted chela" by one or more of the ascended host who - because of previous association and co-operative service, has established a certain "rapport" of "inner" consciousness with such a one; or the progressing student may be assigned to one of the great ones for assistance by the great law. Now, periodically, there is a gathering together at Darjeeling of some of us so vitally interested at this time in the freeing of this dear planet to look over the tremendous amount of spiritual radiation, instruction and activity which has gone forth from our octave within a certain prescribed length of time and how much of such gifts have been consciously accepted, taken up, used and expanded to the greater purification, illumination, freedom and happiness of the people and all earth's evolution. You see, "Knowledge unused passes from the mind" and, if certain assistance is freely and lovingly given over a certain period of time and then either ignored or neglected by the students, then, by Cosmic Law, such further assistance must be withheld for a time until "the field is more ready and able to accept and root the seed." Do you see? That which has already been given and has not been used to create more blessing must be balanced by those of us who offered it in good faith and hope - individually or collectively - by our giving some added blessing to life somewhere which will expand its perfection. Sometimes it requires our going even to another star to give such a balancing blessing! So, you can see that every bit of light and love we release from our octave must produce greater perfection somewhere - whether it is produced in the exact place to which it is originally sent or not! Concerning the literal oceans of our light and love which have been flooded forth voluminously since the first coming forth of beloved Saint Germain's "I AM" instruction some twenty-five years ago, you will remember beloved Jesus' statement of so long ago: "If ye know these things - happy are ye if ye do them!" Let me now paraphrase that a bit and say: "Unless ye do these things (use in daily living the God-light we offer so freely) - ye do not really know them!" You see, in such a case, they would not as yet have become an active part of your own life. Do you see? So, perhaps it would be well for each sincere and earnest one to write the words (in their own handwriting or printing): "Unless ye do these things - ye do not know them." Write (or print) this upon a small white card and tuck it into one of the corners of your personal mirror in your room. Thus, at least several times a day, this gentle reminder of one's responsibility to the law for the use (and thus expansion) of its blessings will be kept before the outer consciousness. Now, the ascended masters rarely definitely prophesy future activities - even those under their command - especially when working with the unascended. Why? Because no one - ascended or unascended - ever knows what the human consciousness will do under any given set of circumstances until after it has done it! Therefore, we do plan ahead as much as we can and never work without a plan - for that would not be working in divine order. So, we would like to try a little experiment for the rest of the year. As always, we shall endeavor to bring you that which we see you most require for your steady, onward progress in the light. However, at this juncture, may I very gently but earnestly warn each one against allowing any feelings whatsoever of apathy, lethargy or the slightest feeling of disinterest to arise in your feelings toward the light and its activities. These feelings always and often present themselves somewhere along the path of the most sincere chela but must be consciously and determinedly handled by him - changed into feelings of God-enthusiasm for the light by the use of the violet transmuting flame at his command. Therefore, it is likely that my humble self shall be writing the weekly "Pearls" for the rest of the year - with the exception of one each month, which one the beloved Saint Germain has kindly agreed to take on. These may be reviews of points previously given but not yet used by you and which need further "pinpointing" to your consciousness; or they may contain a bit more advanced knowledge - more of which shall surely come as quickly as that is used which has already been given! My Love and Light shall never fail you! "I AM" - Your Dependable - (Ascended Master) Morya El ****** Chapter 31 El Morya - August 7, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 31 - El Morya - August 7, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers, dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our beloved Ascended Master Morya El speaks: Because God's Holy name "I AM" is the very hub - not only of the Universe of which you now know but of all Universes extant beyond the ken of mortal mind and of all yet to be - that name is truth itself and has become the ever-living word. Through millions of years since earth's beginning, during various periods from time to time of greater illumination to the people, have the glory and power of the word "I AM" been extolled; its beauty praised; its law revealed to the people and all that they needed lovingly to co-operate with those laws was offered as free as air to any and all who would listen and obey. After a certain density of human shadows had appeared, many times such instruction became available only to the very few because of the lack of educational advantages to the masses. Then, as time went on and mankind subtly desired to conceal his real intents from his fellows, the various languages coming into use set up further barriers to the receiving by the people of the God-assistance they required. Therefore, those less fortunate were obliged to accept the translations and interpretations from a privileged few who - sometimes deliberately and sometimes not - placed their own limited concepts upon that which they received as truth. Then, too, there were often very long periods of time during which the Great Cosmic Law did not permit any "new" or specific "current" illumination to be thrown upon the needs of the people. So, hoping but yet somewhat uncertain, the sincere of heart in every age earnestly prayed to the God which they knew (deep within their hearts) existed somewhere in the Universe and, to the best of their (sometimes little) abilities, they endeavored to make themselves worthy to have their prayers answered; their fears dissolved; their bodies healed; their needs supplied and their protection assured; then, when this life was over, they hoped for a reservation in the "realms of the blest" which, while they did not understand it fully - something within them told them they would there find eternal life. This ever-living hope no one and no thing has ever been able to quench, for it is the mighty sacred fire which none can put out! Now, have you thought about it at all - beloved ones - this almost magical assistance our gracious ones are receiving in the release from our octave every seven days of our proven wisdom, love and light? Remember! For most of you, our instruction comes to you in your own language - thereby no meaning being lost or screened by translation. Every seven days there is a fresh surge of our victorious feelings, encouragement and power of accomplishment flooding into your worlds, together with our wholly constructive feelings of gratitude, faith, hope, love, peace, patience, constancy, forgiveness ... whatever is the needed God-quality of your world to keep you progressing on the path of light that leads you "home" to us. Mind you - this is all offered you without a definite set price therefor - so that it is never out of reach to anyone who really wants it! O beloved ones! Consider these "pearls" as just such! Consider them as being much more valuable to you than the actual price of the gem itself - for that could and probably would soon be spent and even that which was purchased by it "used up," as you say. These "Pearls" are vital, living messages of hope, comfort, illumination and freedom for you - eternally sustained in your world - if you want them so to be! Try to read each one through every day of the week it reaches you. You can, you know - if you want to enough! Suppose that, at the end of some specific week, we were to offer you some valuable, tangible gift of this world which you greatly desired - were you to read the weekly "Pearl" every day! Would you not put forth every endeavor to "win" that reward? I think so! Then, can you not give us this little cooperation just for love itself - as well as because it would do more for your spiritual progress in tangible and even visible ways, than you can possibly know at this moment? Only about ten per cent of the blessings received from the service of "the Pearls" is in the reading thereof. While your attention is upon our words - we are flooding light's perfection from our worlds into yours! Precious friends of light you really are - right here in their physical appearance world! By your rhythmic and faithful attention to us and our words, you make yourselves open doors and channels for our light and assistance to flow not only to but through you into the worlds of those around you. Ever-present when you want me - and so able and lovingly willing to be a most Practical Friend in every-day living - "I AM" (The Ascended Master) Morya El ****** Chapter 32 El Morya - August 14, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 32 - El Morya - August 14, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers, dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our beloved Ascended Master Morya El speaks: "Facing the light, there are no shadows on my pathway ... ." from the very moment wherein the newborn infant draws into his little form his very first breath - such a one becomes a living being - facing the light of day in this physical world for the first time. From that moment on - more and more apparent as the years proceed - does that individual's daily experience life compel him to "face" persons, places, conditions or things. That which he "sees" there (and therefore accepts as truth concerning them) determines the course of the flow of his very life! With this "facing" comes the compulsion of choice - for one may see only God-in-action everywhere (which is truth and light), or one may see (and thereby sustain and intensify by the adding of his own life into it through his attention) God's pure light covered over by the mistakes and shadows of human creation. Wise indeed (and most obedient too!) is the student upon the path who deliberately determines to "see through" those human discordant appearances to the core of God-light which must of necessity abide within them to allow them to exist at all - for God is all there is - in reality - he is all that is eternal. Your beloved Jesus once said: "Nothing is really important but all of God!" So, contrary to the popular belief that "opportunity knocks but once" - from the moment that little one takes his first breath, opportunity (in the guise of persons, places, conditions and things) comes to and often passes by that one in a constant "parade" and, concerning them, he must make his choice as to what effect they are to have upon his individual life. "My very own beloved `I AM' Presence and Holy Christ Self! All through today and every day - you take complete, immediate and eternal command and control of my attention, vision and power of qualification! Rivet them upon thee and manage all my outer activities forever! Guide me quickly into all truth and see I always `face the light' in everyone, everything, everywhere - confidently knowing that naught but light has any power to sustain or expand itself!" Dearly beloved of our hearts! Each of you has expressed so often to us - (in silent communications wherein we speak heart to heart! - as well as in audible decree) your earnest desire to be eternally free as we are from the limitations of this world. Then - to so attain that victory - of course you must do as we did - become absolutely one-pointed in all your thinking, feeling, speaking and doing -"facing the light" in every one and every situation by which you are confronted - refusing longer to fear (and thereby give your own life's power to) that which is not of light - and therefore not of God. At the same time, in the name and authority of your "I AM" Presence, consistently and persistently command and compel the light within that person, place, condition or thing to blaze - sustaining and expanding such perfection forever! This must be done, dear hearts - if one wants to become God-like (as the ascended ones are!). He or she must use every possible opportunity to seek out, recognize and determinedly call forth light - as the only presence and power acting anywhere! In this way, one can make his day, his body, mind, world, and affairs exactly what he wants them to be - if he wants to enough! All of us now ascended did it - and if one can do it - all can! "Keeping everlastingly at it brings success - and such God-success is eternally sustained, all-powerfully active and ever-expanding!" Would you care to begin this practice every blessed morning - before leaving your room? Would you care to experiment with the use of the decree above given, for just thirty days - never missing once the giving of your outer self into the keeping of your God-presence? Certainly there is nothing difficult about it - and it costs you nothing of this world's goods. Try it! Then shall you be able in answer to the daily challenge: "Choose ye this day whom ye will serve ... ." joyously and truthfully to say: "As for me and my house - we shall serve the Lord (the law of life -`I AM'!)" "Face the light" and move forward steadily - upward and onward - into more and more of its health, happiness, abundance, peace, freedom and victory of every description. Of such is the kingdom of heaven! Here is where you belong - and such a God-being you truly are! I Love you! Ever ready to help you seize and use God-opportunity -"I AM" - your very own (Ascended Master) Morya El _________________________________________________ NOTE: A suggested decree for our gracious readers who would like to use it: "In the name of my own beloved `I AM' Presence - I decree: O Morya! Keep me facing light In all I do each day - Keep me one-pointed in desire To think and feel and say That which alone expands the light Illumining the way For those who follow after me That they go not astray. There is but one to whom I owe Th' allegiance of my love; For all I am or have came forth From its great heart above. Ascended Master friend of light - (Who knows God's will for me!) O - leave me never! Keep me Facing light - eternally!" ****** Chapter 33 El Morya - August 21, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 33 - El Morya - August 21, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers, dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our blessed Ascended Master Morya speaks: To give full freedom to the manifesting of God's will of perfection to all his creations, there must be the loving cooperation with divine law and order, which prescribes a definite time and place for everyone and everything - and then all kept in that perfect place, acting at the perfect time and in the perfect way. There is a time for action and a time for rest; a time for speech and a time for silence; a time for planting and a time for patient waiting - after which appears the reaping of a harvest of victorious accomplishment. Once one has entered upon the conscious path of mastery and God-victory over all human appearances, he is wise indeed who adopts a calm, joyous attitude of "trust and obey" - at least as much of the law as he has been given; for such a consciousness will take him much more easily and quickly through those "becalmed" periods of experience when the outer self - as yet not quite fully convinced of the infallibility of the truth of its being - wants to see more physical manifestation of progress than seems currently to appear. So, having walked the way of earth as you are doing today, we know something, too, of those long, tedious periods of experience in one's spiritual life when "nothing seems to happen." Day after day passes by in pretty even routine - applications are made and tasks accomplished but, certainly, all for which one is calling is not manifesting fast enough to suit that outer self, for "it" says: "Why doesn't this manifest? I have called and called and called!" Ah, beloved ones, many of these times when you feel so alone and that all the glorious manifestations of this light of which we speak may be for others but not for you - at just such times you might be amazed could you see the amount of assistance you are receiving personally - the protection, faith, constancy and hope being projected into your worlds from our realms, either by some of the ascended ones or by their angel messengers who are carrying out their loving and solicitous commands for your well-being. These are the days when one walks by faith more than by sight. These are the days when one is required to believe in the word of the master when he says that taking a certain course of application, definite desired results must be achieved! Then, of course, there always come the happier times when calls seem to be answered quickly and easily - and these are welcome oases of fulfillment along the road back "home". Once the sincere student has placed his feet upon the pathway of light in the conscious knowledge and use of God's Holy name "I AM," that one is never again alone! From the moment of acceptance of the outer self of the truth of his being, the Holy Christ Self of the one "neither slumbers nor sleeps," but stands constant watchful guard and care over that outer self, until the journey of that lifestream is completed. For speedier victorious accomplishment and manifestations of perfection, we can only say from our own experience: "Never tire of purifying your world by the use of that magnificent and beneficent friend of all ages and all life - that violet transmuting flame!" Keep your attention upon it while using it and, without tension or strain of any kind - mentally see and intensely feel the transmuting of every limitation of your world into light. Then see the pure white light within every cell expand to meet the light in the cells around it - that light in each cell permanently expanding and taking complete possession of the outer form and one's whole world. Hold that picture for a minute or two before closing the violet-flame application. "Begin! Persevere! and you must win!" There is no other way! Believe us - for we know! Your own Victorious life and light "I AM" (The Ascended Master) Morya El _________________________________________________ NOTE: Another suggested decree for our gracious readers: "In the name of my own beloved `I AM' Presence, I make this call: Dear Morya - help me! Make me feel Your gratitude to life For myriad opportunities To bring peace out of strife. With the help of your dear watchful care Let me my world improve Make me your gracious dignity - (Yet humble) where'er I move! Give me your understanding heart That sees deep down within Each blessed soul a silent cry For love to enter in. O Morya! Thank you for your love And patient service too! Let naught but God's own will be done By me - as it is by you!" ***** 33.1 Saint Germain - August 21, 1959 ***** Vol. 2 No. 33A - Saint Germain - August 21, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers Dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our Beloved Ascended Master Saint Germain Speaks: Magnificent indeed is beloved Morya's summer and fall school which he is conducting through the Pearls of Wisdom at this time, and each one of you are blessed indeed who do pay special attention to each point or principle as it is presented. You will find interesting the fact that each of our conscious chelas have resting upon their head a "crown of golden light" wherein a place is provided for the setting of spiritual jewels of divine grace and light to be a very real part of their spiritual adornment. Now, each Pearl of Wisdom which you apply or use in your daily life is placed in a delicate band of this lovely crown which you wear. Each Pearl is an iridescent center of love and light containing a self-luminosity as a gift from your own God Presence. In the center of the crown is a place for a large and truly magnificent diamond whose light and brilliance is the will of God itself made manifest in you. Now, blessed ones, each of the seven rays has its own place in your crown and as you anchor and outpicture the virtues of that particular ray, so does your crown become more radiant, more lovely and more the outpicturing of heavenly loveliness which you are right now as I behold you! When beloved Morya said, "Unless ye do these things - ye do not know them" it was to keep you more and more conscious of the light to which you aspire. You see, blessed ones, it is the light which brought you into physical embodiment and it is the light which will carry you over the sea of shadow of human creation to our "shore" where today in consciousness you may wear - and rightly so - the "crown" of joy, happiness and dominion over everything human. In childlike simplicity the teachings we offer are to free your worlds today, so that right now your own Holy Christ Self can place on you the adornment of your God-given "crown of life" forevermore! Morya has stressed the doing of good will, and I am sure you will be ever mindful that the Presence is the only power that can act. Rather than rely on outer advices, you will often find the urge to go directly to your own God Presence, as it leads you to express in daily living more of God's goodness, love and brotherhood. You will feel the will to forgive self and others in greater degree and the wish to be like the ladies and gentlemen of heaven's court, of which I feel so honored to be a part. We deem it likewise an honor to have you take our offered hand of divine assistance. Therefore today I say: To every lady I offer my hand, and beloved Mother Mary offers hers to every gentleman. The God-purity we offer will do nothing but make you better and more fitting candidates for heaven's lovely courts. Will you give us your hands, while your hearts go out to your God-Presence - the Presence of life right within your beating hearts? I will hold on, if you will. Blessing without end, (The Ascended Master) Saint Germain _________________________________________________ Notice - For technical reasons it was not possible to get this Pearl to you last week, and in such cases it will be sent the following week. You may label last week's 33B and this one as you see is 33A. In a way this is a bonus offering of the Ascended Masters' words which we know you will value having. ****** Chapter 34 Saint Germain - August 28, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 34 - Saint Germain - August 28, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers Dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our Beloved Ascended Master Saint Germain Speaks: Symbolical indeed it is of the dawning Christ Brotherhood in the consciousness of those of the "New World" (as the Western continent has often been called in the past), that those brave souls who have given it their very life to produce liberty of action, and freedom for life to pursue the manifestations of happiness, should have set aside one day each year in order to draw and center the attention of its people upon the importance of cooperative service - man to man. This they have called "Labor Day," and good it is indeed that such an acknowledgment of appreciation and gratitude has been evinced by mankind for the release of the qualified energies of each other. However, could I have but one opportune suggestion here, I might gently observe that, since mankind's energies do not originate either within or by himself but simply flow through him from his Creator, perhaps the observance of this holiday in the Western world should humbly and joyously be allowed to include a gentle, grateful worship of the Father of All - the Source of that life which makes all service possible. At present, this holiday is mostly observed in a "secular" way - the time seized upon for the wresting from it as much physical enjoyment as possible, because it is the last holiday of the summer season. Certainly not by the masses is there much quiet contemplation, adoration or gratitude expressed to and for "Him from Whom all blessings flow." Perhaps this should be so, since "holiday" really means "a holy (whole I) day." Beloved ones! There is really no such state of affairs as God and man! The truth is that there is God in man - for God is life itself and, therefore, man without God (life) would have no existence whatsoever. Then, too, there is no division between "secular" and "divine" life or living - really - there is only one life and that is God-in-action. This is truth - and what otherwise appears (as has been explained so often) - is simply the result of mankind's forgetfulness and therefore unawareness of the truth of his own reality and source. As a consequence, through the use of his own free-will choice, he is constantly imposing upon the ever-flowing substance of his own life that which he thinks and cognizes by the five outer senses to be true - through thought, feeling, spoken word and deed of the personality consciousness. The word "labor" has been defined as being "a certain release of energy used to accomplish a definite purpose". This carries our thought, then, beyond the idea of just "physical labor" - (the exertion of muscle, nerve and sinew), for a great deal of energy not only can be but actually is released through one's mental processes, as well as through the spoken word. Remember always that the focus of the power-center of the body is at the back of the throat where the tongue is hung-proving that originally, God intended man to be able to precipitate direct from the Universal that which he required - first by forming the thought-pattern thereof in his mind; filling it full with joyous, grateful, constructive feeling and then commanding it into outer manifestation by the power of the spoken word. As a matter of fact, it has been proven scientifically many times that a lecturer or teacher can and does release more physical energy (his own life) in one hour's talk than does one physically digging a ditch, over an eight-hour period. Therefore, it would be so much appreciated by my humble self if each of our earnest chelas would daily ask me to charge into his or her consciousness my Ascended Master feeling of true appreciation for cooperative service - for that is the essence of my consciousness of Christ Brotherhood - the one good God expressing individually through all to produce collective perfection! In such a consciousness there is never "capitalism" versus "labor," for one is as important to the end result as the other. Necessary is he indeed who has and is willing to release the "wherewithal" to supply that which the worker needs to manifest his skills; necessary, too, are the buoyant enthusiasms of the "mediator" (salesman or advertiser) between finished product and "consumer" - never forgetting those patient lifestreams who do the tedious and perhaps less interesting (to some at least) "accounting" to keep in divine order the substance and energies concerned. Surely everyone sees that one is quite as essential as the other - in his own way - and the desire on the part of each for the highest good of all would indeed hasten the millennium of that so-much-coveted "peace on earth - good-will to all men." The day the masses of mankind achieve the understanding that it is far more important to be concerned about the energies which go forth from their worlds than in that which they are constantly striving to draw into them - the resistance and rebellion against their daily "serving" will be no more. With the going of this unfortunate state of consciousness shall go also the causes and cores of more dis-ease - physically, mentally, emotionally and financially - than anyone unascended possibly can know today. Certainly the attitude of our earnest chelas toward their daily service will ever be that of the Master himself - who knows that the very first Law of Life is to give of itself - for giving is really living. Surely that which is not first sent forth cannot be returned - and that which is sent forth does return - always with more of its kind - just as surely as there is a sun in the heavens. John Ruskin once expressed a great truth when he said: "It is not nearly so important what a man gets for the service he gives - as what he becomes by it!" Let me help you more quickly become my freedom, by giving me your daily call to charge into your outer service my feeling and substance of victorious violet fire, which does bring and hold all into divine order through divine love - on contact! The freedom flame in action for you - "I AM" (The Ascended Master) Saint Germain ****** Chapter 35 El Morya - September 4, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 35 - El Morya - September 4, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers, dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our Gracious and Beloved Morya El speaks: When the feelings of reverence which you feel for us and our shining band can be transferred consciously by you to those parts of life who presently dwell in the shadow of self-created discordant conditions, and for them you can bear a love equal to that which you so joyously and easily give to us of the Ascended Host, you will have moved mountains by your faith, erased well-seasoned barriers to your progress and entered into a union with us as God in action! I, Morya, Lord of Love's First Ray, say to all mankind (men who are kind!) - it is the sense of separation from God, or even one another, which furnishes material for mental shadows or so-called depressions. The cure is simple - it lies in the good feeling of unity with all that lives - by the power of love divine say and feel daily our Father! (Jesus advocated this in preference to even my Father and used it in the Lord's prayer.) To practice the golden rule ("Do unto others as you would have them do unto you") seems quite simple when the words are merely thought or spoken, but most of our conscious chelas have found that it requires constant and steadfast discipline of the mind until this golden rule (which is so much an expression of the wisdom flame within your Holy Christ Self) becomes also a natural gracious act of even your outer self! Often you have written or spoken to me at any hour of the day or night - sometimes calling for me to step through the veil, visible and tangible to your physical sight. This I AM ever so willing to do, but the requirement of Divine Law and Love must be fulfilled. Most of you know that our rate of vibration is very high (when measured by human comparisons), so to reach our octave is, while seemingly simple for some, more difficult for others. Remember always the words of my brother Saint Germain -"It is the Presence that is the do-er"! Therefore, in your wish to be closer to my octave, I urge the development of God-likeness, humility and courage to practice perfection at all times - making your mark of love for God and all mankind a telling one! Thus your vibratory rate shall be raised like unto a mountain of light. Once again I beckon you onward, knowing that each step is an upward one, which - not seeming very high at the time - is nonetheless steadfastly raising you in spiritual stature, until one day the consciousness you now have may seem like an "outworn garment" as you transmute it daily into more and more loveliness in the realm of light and love eternal - our abode - and the dwelling place of peace from whence we send rays of Holy Wisdom, playing on the harvest fields of temporal human thraldom. Your Elder Brother (The Ascended Master) Morya El ****** Chapter 36 El Morya - September 11, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 36 - El Morya - September 11, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our Gracious and beloved Morya El speaks: "I AM" the Presence of the Great Divine Silence, producing always in your world that heavenly feeling of peace, and attunement with your own God-source which will make and keep you victorious above every human circumstance and experience. My chelas remember well the old maxim -"Silence is Golden" - and I AM sure will always try to practice keeping silent when silence is wisest and best - and yet not fearing to speak when speech is needed to comfort and bless some other part of life, or when a sincere questioner seeks the answer to a besetting problem which may be facing the questing one. I AM ever so sure, too, that most of our chelas know that there are trials and experiences which come sometimes expectedly and many times unexpectedly into the worlds of many of the children of men. It is so gratifying to be able to feel at our level that trustworthy chelas are both willing and able to be "arms of our Presence" and to help smooth the pathway for those around them who may be in need - thus performing the very acts of mercy which we so joyously indulged in before our ascension. The acts of mercy we graciously performed were part of "light's burden" as referred to by the loving Christ - when he said, "My burden (that which I carry) is light (I AM keeper of God's goodwill for my brother)." Then too, most of you know that these lifestreams referred to as the saints in the days of the early church down to the present time have been unusually devoted to serving their fellowmen. The spirit of love and the inner fortitude manifested by these blessed ones came as a result of their attunement with their own God Presence "I AM" - which is spoken of by many spiritual teachers as "entering into the great silence." Through stilling the outer self and fixing your attention only on your God Presence, you too can right now today enter the communion of the saints, ascended masters, and angelic and ascended hosts. The quietness of silence may seem to you at first almost an emptiness, and should be vacated of human consciousness, the attention being fixed on the Presence, whose radiant light, divine love and abundant life pulsate with infinite rapidity in the deep stillness of God - where life seems almost a hush. Whenever the great silence is referred to, there is another facet ever so valuable to the advanced chela. This is keeping of a "personal silence" - as blessed Jesus advocated. As a result of deep spiritual attunement, often most intimate glimpses are afforded the lifestream by the Presence (Christ within) of so-called "master plan" which that blessed individual is given to work out in the world of form. In this case the admonishment "Tell no man" could well be applied. The hidden law reads so clearly -"To know, to do, and to be silent"! One of the lovely characteristics we all love, I am sure, about Mary, the Mother of Jesus, is that she kept these things and pondered them in her heart! Through adoration to the Holy Spirit - that radiant spark of "grace" which you receive from our Lord the Maha Chohan at physical birth - many of you are adding to your talents and your "grace" - for which I AM most grateful! It is a joy to behold how in the face of every adversity you continue to radiate out our light, causing us to remark joyfully to one another in our ascended realm -"truly `I AM' the light of the world"! The Lord is in his Holy Temple, let all the earth keep silent before him! The Administrator of ever-new joy manifesting in you as a deeper entering into the silence, which I AM - Ever your Morya (The Ascended Master) _________________________________________________ NOTE: Gracious Reader, we joyously offer a decree by beloved Morya for your use - "My lovely `I AM' Presence Thy silence I adore To feel thy love around me Is comfort more and more No need to speak or tell it My life will ever prove `I AM' the God control within Expressing where I move. Keep firm my faith In thy great love, in Silence or in noise, for One with thee is ecstasy `I AM' life's daily joys!" ****** Chapter 37 El Morya - September 18, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 37 - El Morya - September 18, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our Gracious and beloved Morya El speaks: Well I recall how, before my ascension, the day would seem to pass so swiftly by, as if each one was borne on wings, and then, anon, seem to move as slowly as the proverbial "Molasses in January." You see, I am most familiar with human experiences which you face daily. I am sure that most of our chelas have taken note that happy hours seem to pass more rapidly, while those less pleasing may drag in a feeling of endless monotony. At times an expected joy seems far distant even when it is just around the corner awaiting manifestation in answer to your expectant call! Blessed ones, when all seems "change," and nothing constant, here in this world of form, and you long intensely for the manifestation of some awaited blessing, think upon our feeling of God-happiness which is so beautifully manifest in the ascended octave. All is God here, and all is perfection, including that perfect feeling of happiness which manifests so naturally in a light-filled consciousness! Accept the moments when life seems temporarily to "pall" on the senses as "signals for action," and swiftly shun the depressive human moods, replacing them by the feeling that the arms of your own God Presence are wrapped right around you, sealing you in all the God-happiness at its command! I well understand your heart's longing for constancy, whether in your attunement with the Presence, with us, or in the instantaneous answer to your calls to heaven for divine assistance. Surely you know that he who has said, "Before they call I will answer" cannot fail to answer you, but it remains for you to constantly accept all the good which your Presence is, and is constantly raying forth into your worlds. I know that your heart's longings can only be satisfied by all of God. You see, there is a milestone on the spiritual path which when the constant seeker reaches, such a one can then replace faith by knowledge, casting their anchor through the so-called "vale of tears," through the passing scenes of daily life, into such a state of oneness with their own God Presence, "I AM," that when the "high experience" of the attunement is temporarily passed from their attention and they return to the outer world of thought, they so do refreshed richly in spirit, strengthened immeasurably in mind and body, and better able to meet the challenges of daily experience as the ascended masters do! Knowing full well that those of you who are my new-found chelas and those who have followed for many a year will desire equally to pass this milestone of which I speak, I urge persistent constancy in demanding of the Presence of God the fullness of all of the beauty which it is! Be satisfied with nothing less, accept no substitute or counterfeit for the Glory of the "I AM" Presence and you will not be disappointed. As Saint Germain has told you, "In the fullness of the Presence is all that you desire"! When embodied as Thomas Moore and during the writing of that ballad which the unascended of mankind continue today to honor so graciously, my thoughts then were upon the changes all about me ... . "Believe me if all those endearing young charms which I gaze on so fondly today, were to fade by tomorrow and fleet in my arms, like fairy gifts fading away; thou wouldst still be adored as this moment thou art, let thy loveliness fade as it will, and around the dear ruin each wish of my heart will entwine itself verdantly still"! Today, right now, I am sharing with you my own thoughts in connection therewith, for in simile the message is clear, speaking from my heart: as I gaze at the rapt loveliness of life at its best in the unascended realm, aware that it is full of change, my attention rests on thee, my lovely "I AM" Presence, whom I still adore in the midst of all this change! For if this temporal loveliness which comes from thee fades away through human acceptance of limitation and misuse of energy, then I will continue to rejoice in thee, for around the "dear ruin" (which the human can make), the love, mind and power of the Christ will combine in wisdom's way to restore in me all the perfection I once knew before misqualification occurred - and I shall be once again an expression of the original freshness of my own first love - which "I AM" still! Feeling a greater love for you than perhaps you can know while still unascended, I trust that a greater faith shall be yours today right now concerning your own ability to be a constant light in the world by the acceptance of the constant pressure of the light of God which never, never fails! I AM the light which pierces every shadow and carries a sustaining constancy for you - Your Morya (The Ascended Master Morya El) ****** Chapter 38 Saint Germain - September 25, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 38 - Saint Germain - September 25, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers Dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our Most Gracious Ascended Master Friend and Brother of Light - Saint Germain - Speaks: In the fourth century before the advent of Jesus the Christ, there lived in Syracuse, in the land of Sicily, two friends whose names were Damon and Phintias (called by some Pythias). These men, as many of you know, were students of the Pythagorean school, and both of them were consequently philosophers, or lovers of divine wisdom, as such was the intent of the headmaster, to inculcate into each student the deeper meaning of divine wisdom which is far beyond the power of words alone to describe. The proof that this great love was both real and practical, enhancing by its power their earthly friendship, was found on the occasion when Phintias was condemned to die. For Damon offered his own life as a hostage for his friend! That the words spoken much later by Jesus apply to all time is clearly evident, for there in the example of Damon and Pythias is the example from life "that greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friend!" Now, beloved ones, let no man think that because he loves God, that in itself is sufficient and that whenever it pleases him he may open the door of his feeling world to any kind of human emotion toward his brother with impunity! Living as you do in an age of some peril yet surrounded by the living Light of the golden age now manifesting embryonically in the affairs of mankind, it behooves all of our chelas or would-be chelas no matter how advanced they may feel themselves to be to never fail (as God does not fail to do) to adhere to the fundamental principles and laws of divine Life, not the least of which is divine friendship. Have you thought about it, how the world is so full of people and yet for some of these you are the only door opening into a higher world? Amidst the glorious goal of self-attainment and in the evolution of the spiritual nature one of the greatest opportunities lies in accepting the responsibility of helping another soul seeking the way. And remember, it is no different for you than for us, who, although we have attained, continue to pour out our Light and love in cosmic service to the Christ Light of every man! It is love that opens the door, and it is love that keeps the door open for true friendship, once two lifestreams are brought together by divine law. For of a truth, no one is without someone to love, though some seem to have too many and others not enough! Of course, no one can ever take another's friendship, for it must always be lovingly given! It follows, as the day the night, that it must be lovingly received as well! To spurn the proffered friendship of another, if it be given in deepest sincerity and especially where such a one is pursuing the spiritual path, is a universal breech, which has deterred many an individual from entering more fully into their own freedom. Often apparently small and insignificant matters (insignificant to the human or outer self) carry great cosmic weight when applied by the lever of universal law. It is true that karmic relationships made thus in one life often await further opportunity for balance to another lifetime. Many times so termed "instant dislike" (even mild dislike is really hatred) or even "instant love" carries over into the present from past karmic ties awaiting fulfillment. However, every student of Truth should know that life does not afford an individual embodiment solely for the sake of taking vengeance (vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord (the Law) but rather to forgive. Thus is today defined as further opportunity to make things right by Light! To enter more fully into right relationships with all life, the sincere student must not pass by the manifold opportunities each day can bring when the calls to the Presence are for only Divine Love to do its perfect work of balancing. Speaking of passing opportunities, I know of one case in which an individual turned down a needy lady upon a street corner, where she stood begging for a small pittance. The one who passed on carelessly was a gentleman of some means, and the lady in a previous embodiment had bestowed upon him great love; yet certain aspects of her own karma had placed her temporarily in an apparently destitute state where she felt compelled to beg, and the one who passed by never knew she had once been his own dearest mother! While the chronology of true friendships is very long, many of which having never been dramatized remain unknown, unhonored, and unsung, there are others with which mankind are more familiar: Abraham was called a "friend of God" and the friendship of Elijah and Elias is well remembered. Readers of the New Testament have often been thrilled by the thought of John the Beloved leaning on beloved Jesus' shoulder in a gesture of his own divine friendship for the Master. The inspiration derived from many of these friendships has been productive of much good for not only the lifestreams themselves but for all mankind who have taken the time to pause and consider. I would like to mention also that beloved Morya's and Kuthumi's great love for each other prompted them, as many of you know, to build their homes in the Orient very close to each other. We of the ascended host realize full well that our disciples cannot "open the door," as it were, to permit every individual they meet to rush into the very sanctuary of their being; but the hospitality of the outer court can be so gracious that the Law of Love is fulfilled. As time passes with its varied experiences, a further determination can be made by these same individuals, when a richer and more complete friendship may be established. When you work harmoniously and in harness, as it were, with another lifestream, in the bonds of human and divine friendships, even the human can be touched by the sacred fire of transmutation so that all friendship ultimately becomes a heavenly one. Under such blessed conditions you add to your own momentums many of the virtues and blessings of the other one. (No one possesses all the talents in the same measure, and so the enrichment that comes through pure and true friendships is of God and very beautiful to behold even from our octave.) Surely no one truly enjoys discordant manifestations between individuals or peoples (blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God!). Thus I tell you it is well to examine your own state of consciousness concerning this vital subject; for in the golden age, whose beginning rays are making themselves visible, you will behold in action more and more divine love and friendship, which will result in that loving cooperation upon which the foundations of heaven are builded. So doing, you will have manifold occasions for gratitude to your own beloved I AM Presence forever! I AM offering to you the assistance only we can give from day to day as you make yourselves more receptive to the Light and refuse absolutely acceptance of the shadows! All the Darjeeling Council stand ready and willing to be to you true Ascended Master friends of Light indeed. So stand to this earth as representatives of our love, to you! In the bonds of light and divine friendship, I AM (The Ascended Master) SAINT GERMAIN ****** Chapter 39 El Morya - October 2, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 39 - El Morya - October 2, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our Gracious and beloved Morya El speaks: O, if only the mankind of earth knew the great enfolding love which God feels for every child of his creation, wheresoever that one may be physically located upon this broad expansive planet! Often as men think upon this great whirling sphere with its myriad creations of nature and its temporal creations of mankind, it seems ever so difficult for them to understand God's great love - which though so very real does not always seem to appear to their outer senses! Oftentimes individuals who embrace the spiritual path find it easy to accept the teaching that God loves every nation and its people, but meanwhile certain erstwhile feelings seek to intrude themselves into the consciousness of the students, and when the time to test the principles which they profess to believe in comes, there is found expressing in them a negative feeling toward this or that person, place, condition or thing which is completely foreign to the teaching they have accepted as true. Certainly, an entering into the fullness of God would do nothing but promote an intense love and understanding of the many diversities present in mankind and nature. Then, too, the law of transmutation (simply put - the law of change) is inherent in all life, raising it more and more into the immaculate divine concept in which God created it! Among the more recent changes in world affairs has come the advent of an energy-propelled device passing through the seeming trackless span of space reaching from earth to moon - and plunging that object onto that rocky but reflectively luminous sphere which has so long provided inspiration and beauty to the mankind of earth, as well as the control of the marvelous balance of the ebb and flow of the tides themselves! I AM sure that many of our chelas whose thoughts have hitherto been concerned with the more immediate problems in their own world (which is wise indeed and ought not be neglected either) are, however, giving more than just a passing thought to new cosmic possibilities. The idea of man form this earth traveling in space creates greater awareness to many more people that beings from other systems of worlds - or elsewhere in this solar system - may have long traveled Cosmic highways physically or otherwise. It should stimulate great interest in the consciousness of more skeptical individuals concerning the anecdotes recounted by those unascended who certify to their own personal experiences in meeting some of these lifestreams from other planets or stars! Then too, recognizing the scientific and spiritual achievements of these beings, the thinking lifestream even while yet unascended here realizes that a higher degree of advancement and civilization must exist elsewhere in the Universe, and such a one becomes ever so concerned with the perfection of his own spiritual nature, so as to be a fitting candidate for "higher experiences" in these blessed days of Saint Germain's Golden Age when the passing parade of opportunities offer much more than in the shadowed days gone by. I AM aware that some of Our chelas are perhaps puzzled by the success of the Soviet government in the material sciences and cultural creativity, headed as it is by so-called Communistic influences which mankind in many quarters have come to regard as such an anathema. Dear ones, ye believe in God Who loves and directs America wherever and whenever she and her people will incline their ears to hear His voice, but I am likewise sure you know that every Nation without exception has within its borders myriad souls who are equally His children, and as He hears the prayers of their people, none of whom are foreign to Him, He answers them according to their own faith even as He does you. The selfsame HOPES with which you surround yourselves are all about them in these days. The violet fire has cut free men of every nation, and now, blessed ones, continual assistance is being rendered mankind to cause all men to be aware of their cosmic citizenship. In fact, among the services of the Great White Brotherhood there is a special branch concerned with the Spiritual education of man, which is devoted to this specific service. The consciousness naturally expands unless interfered with. For example, it reaches from self to family and neighborhood, from city to nation, from nation to international understanding and ultimately to more and more Cosmic understanding. Since October 12th of last year, many new and hitherto practically impossible achievements by the mankind of all nations are now a shining possibility, ushering in an entirely new era of cooperation which may not only propel man into the reaches of cosmic space, but, even more important to this lovely earth, will raise the mankind of earth into greater and greater states of freedom, freedom from pain and disease; from the ravages of old age, from economic distress, travel restrictions, racial and religious discrimination, national and international misunderstandings, and every other condition which binds and has bound mankind to those circumstances which cause distress of mind and feeling! Let no one feel that they as individuals or America as a nation shall lose by gestures of goodwill made in God's name! ALL is but a sharing of the expansion of freedom for all the world, as its undulations of light beam out from America's shores! The Ascended Host knows that contributions sincerely made to the Cause of Peace and harmony are not in vain! After all, they are living decrees, and sometime somewhere must bear fruit in freedom's Name and Purpose! People born abroad feel the same love and devotion for their national origins as Americans do for their own, and certainly if the harmony God wants is to manifest in this world and be universally accepted, an example must be set by someone. While I HOPE Americans will do this, I look with equal HOPE for its manifestation elsewhere the world around. The rising tide of Cosmic light and its increased brilliancy must perform Its raising action! Freedom's light must girdle this planet around with love, and although true that the blessed land of America has cradled the Divine Manchild of freedom from her conception, yet in maturity he belongs to the ages and evolutions of all nations, kindreds and tongues! The cultural exchanges which shall manifest in the brave new world now facing every man, woman and child of this evolution make possible now in this very Age, a new world of the kind that has stirred the hearts of every mystic and spiritual teacher through the annals of time. Our hope is for an era when the cooperation of the Ascended Hosts and the unascended can become more and more a tangible reality. We seek to wipe away even the evidences of past mistakes until through mercy's love on a still brighter day the full play of cosmic evolution shall make of all life here one - one family of nations, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all! You are so fortunate to be presently embodied on this Blessed Earth, for yours is the opportunity of the ages - not just to be "links" in a Cosmic chain, but to be present when the First and Seventh Ray activities join to complete the Cosmic circle of God's Master Plan. Then are you not ever so blessed to have Our Personal Assistance which formerly was only given in the retreats after long preparation? Today, We continue right now to radiate out to you our love and light, so that from you, as arms of Our Presence, may that love go out to all men - deeper than any ocean, higher than any rocket can penetrate and wider than even mercy's arms! As the currents of the new age step up their tempo, you shall move forward in faith, peace and love, becoming less and less disturbed by the appearances which in every age have raged around the Chosen, for all you behold but provides more completely the truth of all Saint Germain has told you! This you shall see for yourself, for as each day dawns the Caravan of Civilization rolls onward to discovery after discovery - men as Pioneers of eternity - arm in arm, heart to heart, shall revel in the wonderful discoveries of love and freedom which are all GOD, being projected on a "magic screen" of Light (every atom being full of tiny points of divine light - electrons) as the eternal drama of the ages moves thus to one glorious fulfillment after another, decay of the mouldy past giving way to the kingdom of light and glory of that which has been , presently is and is yet to come! Your Spiritual Comrade, I AM MORYA EL ****** Chapter 40 El Morya - October 9, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 40 - El Morya - October 9, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers, Dedicated to love's Service The World Around - Our Beloved Ascended Master Morya Speaks: THEY HAVE LEFT UNSTAINED WHAT THERE THEY FOUND - FREEDOM TO WORSHIP GOD.{2} So reads the markings on a bronze plaque at Provincetown, Massachusetts, to commemorate the hallowed ground where the early Pilgrims first set foot on the land of America after a long and tedious journey on the blessed Mayflower. Here in the New World they were seeking the freedom to worship according to the dictates of their own conscience, which is ever the true voice of the I AM Presence speaking in and to each human heart. There were journeys previous to this crossing, some less and perhaps some more spectacular; but none more dramatized as representative of that "spirit of seeking freedom," such as the early Pilgrims so beautifully outpictured as they planted deeply their roots in the land of America. To make this great country what it is today required vast preparation, some unknown and some well known. Beloved Saint Germain labored ceaselessly to prepare this nation for its destiny in his embodiment as Christopher Columbus (Christopher or "Christ bearer") when from the decks of the Santa Maria he surveyed the newly discovered (newly to the Western known world) land of America and claimed it in the name of his queen, to the outer, Queen Isabella, but in his heart it was Mary, ever Santa Maria, the Queen of Heaven, in whose name and spirit he claimed all this living verdure. Further, it was in the name of the Son of Mary - the ever-living Christ of every man, who so clearly uttered these words, "I AM the Light of the world"{3} and whom Saint John declared is the Light of every man{4} - that he raised high the standard of the Maltese cross, which today is the acknowledged symbol of Saint Germain himself, symbolizing as it does his devotion to the cause of freedom, for which in divine harmony Mary, Jesus, and Joseph (Saint Germain) served so long before in Galilee and Nazareth. The part the Ascended Masters played in the founding of the original American heritage is little known to the masses today because it is not made a part of either the religious or secular history of America, so well named as it is, land of the free. Now, blessed ones, the greatest honor you can ever pay to Saint Germain is to hold high the torch of freedom in your personal world, calling unto him daily with the `magic wand' of your full attention to direct into the affairs of this nation (America) and all men of every land that God-inspired direction and spiritual radiation of freedom's forgiving love, including the full power to overcome all enemies at home and abroad, within the personal world or without, all by the perfection of the Presence itself! You see, all freedom is and was a gift from the Presence. For no one can ever take from God the freedom which he, God, is! Thus to keep yourself unstained from a sense or feeling of human condemnation or a feeling of rebellion or resentment, you must anchor your attention in the pure breath of freedom which belongs to your very own God Self, which is your life. Then you must blaze the violet fire through the human creation, changing it to divine Light and love. Always call for the Presence to protect America and all nations so all may drink freely of the cup of liquid Light which the nation America is to be to the whole world (America is the heart and India is the head of the world today, but every nation has its own vital function to make of the whole a loving, beautiful planetary body to honor its Creator). Thus, when you call forth the perfection of all nations rather than amplify the negative qualities of any, you are blazing forth a blessing by releasing the power of your own God Presence to bless all men with the unstained breath of freedom, which, while embodied in Saint Germain, he longs to bestow upon every man who will but lovingly accept it right now today. Now, those stalwart men who braved the elements and trusted in God, who rules both wind and wave, to carry their frail ships to America's shores whether in Columbus' day or later on were all part of humanity, whose search for freedom is the epic of all time, teaching by its example that the holy Light of freedom is a fire which cannot ever be extinguished! By these examples know that it was Light which framed your Constitution, O America, and it is this which makes it so cherished today as an instrument of liberty to all nations! It guarantees, too, religious freedom to all, even to those so bigoted as to refuse it to others. (Yet interesting perhaps is the thought that some of these same individuals have often sought refuge behind the very Constitution, the spirit of which they inwardly spurn.) Your life today, blessed chelas, is a journey still. And the meanings of the past, so full of examples of the kinder emotions, in which we are indeed interested, can by its pages from the book of memory inspire you today to accept the cup of our words and radiation so that drinking deeply of the fount of holy wisdom - not by mere reading alone but by absorbing our God-feeling and divine illumination lying just behind the seeming veil of our words - may make clear to you that God, who watches every sparrow's flight with loving care and who admires the flashing magnificence of the eagle, always provides the comfort of his presence in the most blessed and helpful way just when it is needed most. The meaning of America is clear to every sincere student of the Law of Life who, loving the I AM Presence with all his or her heart, will take time to meditate upon it. For true Americans are those who love and practice freedom regardless of their national origin or location on this planet. I, Morya, declare, may the walls of light continue their expansion, to seal their protective canopy around the shores of this nation and all nations, keeping the shadow of war from the door of all mankind. May the meaning of one God and the great spirit of divine unity become more and more clear to all. As we honor Saint Germain on Columbus Day this year, try to envision the lovers of freedom who are united with you. There you will find, whether all are conscious of one another or not, the legions of the violet flame, the hospitalers of the New Jerusalem - those sincere Masonic consistories (of which Saint Germain is the true sovereign grand master); and with justice, equality, and love, those blessed Knights of Columbus (which twain are really twin arms destined to serve when the divine ultimate is revealed as arms of freedom and justice, which shall not perish from the earth). We love you, Saint Germain! I AM in divine simplicity and purest love 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. ****** Chapter 41 Morya - October 16, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 41 - Morya - October 16, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers, Dedicated to love's Service the World Around - Our Beloved Ascended Master Morya Speaks: In the sixth century, dwellers in the city of Basrah, in the land now known as Persia, were often startled at the sight of a woman walking the streets carrying a pitcher of water in one hand, and a flaming firebrand in the other, all the while fervently proclaiming, "I will throw fire into heaven, and water into hades, in order to destroy these two veils and take them away from the eyes of men: for, if men worship God for fear of hades, he shall be consumed therein; and if he worship him in hope of heaven - he shall be excluded therefrom - but the ones who shall worship God for his own sake only, and the sake of God's eternal beauty, shall have passed beyond these two veils ... into God's presence itself"! Beloved ones, how clear and sweet in her day was the message of Rabia, for that was her name. In a very real sense her message remains a timely one today, showing as it does the power that lies like a gift in your hands when you use your attention to adore the immaculate concept which the Presence is, and thus escape the manifold hallucinations of human creation. Through attunement with your own God Presence "I AM" you will find clear understanding that the identity of that so-called God Presence itself - and the expressed term "image and likeness of God" is one and the same. This divine likeness he, God, intends all men to manifest right here and now, today, sustaining, renewing and transforming every man by the glory of that one's own electronic God Presence - the "I AM" light dwelling in each human heart as a focus of the Presence. As you accept the full measure of divine understanding which the Presence wants to bestow upon you - and welcome with joy the flow of the golden healing oil of divine intelligence, comfort and healing as it drops like gentle rain from the hands of your own "I AM" Presence with infinite mercy, you will clearly see as we do that the presence beholds only the perfection of each part of the entire creation, and that this divine vision - sustained by God himself is the immaculate concept lying beyond the veil of human appearance and thought. Now, every ascended being had to recognize their own God-perfection (no one can do this for another), and it is this perception of perfection expanding in ever-living light substance that will enable you to do what we have done and escape completely from the viselike grip of the appearance world. Too long have imperfections moulded men in "lesser" human concepts. The old habits of the mind must give way to a new persistence in holding the attention on heaven's own God-obedient light substance which always knows the perfect thing to do. As you reach up to your Presence for more and more of God, it will be of great benefit if you always try to be conscious that the expression "the Presence of God, `I AM' in you" refers solely to God; for the "I AM" is ever only all of God. When the term "made in his image and likeness" was used in the ancient writings - it referred to the "I AM", in whose pattern (or image) man was created as a God-free being, which is the selfsame thought or divine conception which he, God, still holds for the creation of his own heart. In order to derive the greatest benefit from the immaculate concept, I AM lovingly directing that you think of yourself as knowing that "I AM" the perfect goal for which God is fitting me daily! Remove from your consciousness self-condemnation for past mistakes you have made - they are over and past; avoid repetitions as you move forward in the light. You belong to God and he wants to claim his own. Therefore, always hold this immaculate concept for yourself! Practice, too, holding an immaculate concept for all others of the children of men (so often those who do find fault with others need the same correction themselves). We always hold the concept of perfection for each of our chelas, although we are aware of their limitation and always know just what is needed there. Beloved ones, did you ever realize the great spiritual benefit to be obtained by the practice (in addition to holding the immaculate concept for yourself and others) of holding an immaculate concept of God? Men often worship a God made in their own image, do you see? Then, too, it is vital that our chelas be ever conscious of the goodness of God and that their own "I AM" Presence always knows the right thing to do each day. One should guard against feelings of rebellion, which are always born of ignorance. The real purpose in holding an immaculate concept of God is to fulfill the law of reciprocity by lovingly and willingly doing for God that which he has so long done for you - completing the law of the circle. As you do this you will find flowing into your world daily a greater portion of his love, his light and his life, even as we do. Welcome - greater abundance of heaven's grace! I wish you God-success in anchoring a unified trinity of existence (self, others and God) in an immaculate concept, an integrated wholeness that holds all that is in arms of unfailing light! Persistently so doing, you will find breaking forth into your own world the reality of a wider field of consciousness wherein you will see and retain an abundantly lovely vision of God in man, in the universe, and in you. "I AM" progressively guiding you, Morya El Vondir! (God bless you 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: Gracious Reader: The following is given by beloved Morya for your use - "In the name of my own beloved `I AM' Presence, I decree: My heart is now on fire `I AM' the light of God No fear or doubt can hold me Or chain me to the sod. `I AM' the pulse of heaven's love The song of victory The truth that never can be hid The word that sets men free! Immaculate concept ever true O keep me keeping on Till victory in light's full view Seals all - with `well done'!" ****** Chapter 42 Saint Germain and Mother Mary - October 23, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 42 - Saint Germain and Mother Mary - October 23, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers, Dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our Beloved Saint Germain and Beloved Mother Mary Speak: (Saint Germain) "Eye am" the eye of God. Though all seeing, "I AM" of too pure eyes to behold ought but perfection! Within this statement the sincere student will find a spiritual treasure. You see, the I of the I AM can well be considered as the "eye" or instrument of spiritual vision which sees only correctly that which God is and has created in one immaculate conception. This conception sprang from its source, the creative heart of being, which is the AM of the I AM. (Both I and am are, of course, one.) Now, the physical organ of sight merely flashes the reflected image it "sees" on its own retina (which momentarily retains that image) to the brain, where it is made intelligible sight to the consciousness. Consider beloved Ascended Master Jesus' statement "If thine eye be single thy whole body shall be full of light!" If the ego or "I" of the human be transformed to become the "eye" of God instead, which only has the capacity to perceive all good, how could the body, mind, world, or affairs of the student reflect anything but perfection? Know, therefore, that "eye am" the vision of divine perfection now made manifest everywhere! All your human misconceptions, the discordant, critical, fearful, doubting, and disturbing expressions, must disappear from that consciousness that persists in holding the single-eyed vision of not I and God, but I AM the Lord thy God, whose perfect joy is the pattern for every child of my heart and thy heart also wherein I AM dwelling, anchored there as the magnificent threefold unfed flame of Love, Wisdom, and Power that takes dominion, produces perfection, and is itself a Christ focus that is the Light of the world! When I was embodied as the prophet Samuel (being the national God Father of America, some know and some do not that I am Uncle Sam) my mother, Hannah, taught me to answer the voice of the I AM Presence saying, "Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth." Beloved ones, the one who serves God as I then did is really no servant but a Son, and in the glory of the I AM, the created ray (individualization) becomes one with its own I AM Presence, or its true Source! Now such is the beauty and confidence of divine unity shared by every Ascended Master, which today, right now, I am sharing with you, most gracious one, whose eyes should only see the glory that was, is, and is yet to come forth! I AM ever your SAINT GERMAIN ____________________________ ***** 42.1 Beloved Mother Mary ***** Sons and Daughters of My Own Heart, The memory of what blessed Morya wrote last week on the immaculate concept and beloved Saint Germain's words today should linger permanently like the perfume from an immortelle in your memory! How can I add to their gracious offering? Yet they have both asked me to write you on the immaculate concept of God purity and so I briefly shall. You may or may not know that your physical eyes tell a great story about your individualization with its many past experiences. The military expression "eyes right" is one of the few military expressions that has always intrigued me when contacting the many soldiers who have called upon me. It is very good taken as a command from the Presence to persist in seeing only right and Truth! Dear ones, everything you have ever beheld tells its story as it was recorded in your eyes, for most of you know that much can be revealed by looking into the eyes of another. Would it not be well therefore for us to engage ourselves in a cooperative service for the purification of each chela's own world? Give me your attention daily, and as you stand before your own mirror, call and ask me to purify all your past perceptions of imperfection. Then, after your call, see your eyes as I do, as blessed orbs of luminous beauty, veritable "windows of the soul" through which God can gaze joyfully upon all his creation, and see the perfection that Light has placed there right behind the screen of appearances. Vest all men with heaven's holy orders, for what you see in others appears more readily in yourselves. And this that you do for them, each one, is done for me. As the cosmic Law permits, I shall call directly to your own beloved I AM Presence, which sees in secret; and the Presence, you may be sure, shall reward you openly by the gift of clearer vision, both physical, mental, and spiritual. The transmutation of your threefold vision will so enhance the power thereof that those seeing you will perceive God, the I AM Presence, shining in your eyes. And by this perception the grace of God shall flow to them also (which oft occurred, according to legend, in the lives of many of the saints), thus transforming those on whom you fix your gaze from glory to glory as the power of God expands its grace to flash forth the greater Light of the All-Seeing Eye directly from your own I AM Presence. Ever your Cosmic Mother, MARY (The Ascended Master Mother Mary) _________________________________________________ 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: Another suggested decree for use by our gracious readers: (From beloved Morya El) In the name of my own beloved I AM Presence, I decree: O "I AM Eye" within my soul, Help me to see like thee; May I behold the perfect plan Whose power sets all free! No double vision fills my sight, The way is pure and clear; I AM the viewer of the Light, The Christ of all appears! I AM the eye that God does use To see the plan divine; Right here on earth his way I choose, His concept I make mine! O loving Christ, thou living Light, Help me to keep thy trust; I AM thy concept ever right So see like thee I must! ****** Chapter 43 El Morya - October 30, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 43 - El Morya - October 30, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers, Dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our Beloved Ascended Master Morya Speaks: The tangible reality the physical appearance form, with all its seeming solidarity presents to human sight, gives rise to speculation on the part of unascended mankind whenever the conscious life passes out from the body temple, leaving that form, which but a moment before was so active in many cases, very vacant and inanimate appearing, and whose tangibility is now questionable indeed. You see, with the loosing of the very lovely silver cord (the usually invisible-to-human-sight connection between the Presence and the form which it controls), the tie to that physical form is broken. And it often seems to those who are considered to be left behind, regardless of their spiritual or intellectual attainments, that it is not quite clear just what has taken place. Knowing something of the uncertainty which surrounds this subject where some of the unascended chelas are concerned, and especially those not so fortunate as to have had the instruction of the I AM Law of Life as some of you have, I am releasing further light on these matters in my next two letters, which should prove a comfort to each one of you. Inasmuch as what could well be called almost medieval confusion and traditional hodgepodge (I use one of your own idioms here, for it easily conveys to you my thought) surrounds both the subject of the soul's passing and Halloween, and further, as human attention seems drawn to the astral realm more than usual on Halloween, I am seeking to release mankind from all morbid states of consciousness so that the pure, uncontaminated will of God can flow through as Love's gracious answer to relieve all human fear and discordant ideas in connection with these subjects, which have wrought so much chaos and unhappiness in human affairs through the centuries. I am sure you will welcome my comments, which, although on a subject partially distasteful to both Master and chela, are wholly constructive, designed to give a clearer understanding and confer thereby a blessing of great comfort to the entire race of mankind, linked together as you are in a world of action and reaction to one another's thoughts and conduct. Now, the blessed evening respectively called by men All-Hallows' Eve, All Souls' Eve, or Halloween (also, All Holy Eve) has become anything but holy. For besides human thrill-seeking, deliberate creation of fear, and fanciful speculation of a most bizarre character in many cases, men have filled their consciousness and world (including influences upon the children's tender minds) with images of witches and hobgoblins of a most hideous type resembling nothing quite so realistically as the lower astral realm, into which quagmire the dregs of human thought are collected until transmuted by violet fire - certainly not a desirable consciousness for any unascended being, child, or adult. I am requesting this Pearl be sent you a day or two early in order to enlist the services of as many of you as possible who desire to serve the spiritual needs of mankind and the causes championed by the Great White Lodge and the Darjeeling Council. This All Holy Eve (October 31) and in every year to come until the appearance of true perfection manifests in connection with Halloween, I am sure you will lovingly decree, sing, pray, and invoke the presence of the angelic and ascended hosts, calling for the purification of the earth, its atmosphere, the fire element and water by the full power of the violet transmuting flame of freedom's forgiving love to remove the causes and cores of all fear connected with Halloween each year and the passing of the soul from mortal form every day of the year. Call too for the transmutation of all human discordant creations, all inharmonious artistic creations, all fantasy creations of a shadowed nature and for their instantaneous replacement by the wholesome vibratory action of our octave of Ascended Master light-substance! Someday, then, the children of the world will go forth happily that holy evening in commemoration of the harvest season of all souls to honor God and the angelic hosts, wearing these far more lovely creations which are so well within the present artistic abilities and conceptions of mankind to create. I hope some of you may present this idea in good taste to mankind, not necessarily as coming from us but perhaps from those of you who seem more tangible to them. This will give both the vested commercial interests and religious circles of influence opportunity through free will to clean up the unwholesome aspects of Halloween, thus cooperating with beloved Mother Mary, the blessed Master Saint Germain, and the ascended host to produce and sustain a very different artistic keynote for this occasion which will be in keeping with the golden-age and the teachings now made manifest. Of particular interest: Lord Michael, the blessed Archangel, will serve the full 24-hour period on Halloween so that as the earth revolves, every land and its peoples will have the full protection which his radiation brings and which he so lovingly offers the unascended of mankind in answer to your sincere calls. You may be sure that his sword of blue flame will transmute all that the cosmic law will allow of the foolishly misqualified energy which mankind have long used in traditional error on this day. May it increase its enfolding, transmuting power as our legions of Light move forward to victory! I feel your marvelously expanding love for mankind and your wish to be ever more closely associated with us in all we do and your willingness to take on, as it were, what might be termed some of the less desirable tasks which are usually unknown, unhonored, and unsung by the multitude. Therefore, I am offering you opportunity now to rise united to the occasion. And thus shall the Lord of the World, our beloved brother Gautama, be blest by the harvested results of more freedom and light to our sweet earth and every blessed potential Christ thereon every day of the whole year. Your friend of Light and champion of eternal Good, I AM 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: Gracious reader, may we offer a decree which you may care to use: My very own beloved Presence of God, I AM, in me, beloved Ascended Master Jesus Christ, beloved Mother Mary, Kuan Yin, Archangel Michael and all the Archangels; blessed Morya El, Saint Germain and Portia and all members of the angelic and ascended host: We most lovingly call forth in God's name, I AM, the full power of the violet transmuting flame of forgiving love for the mankind of earth to remove the causes and cores of all human foolishness connected in any way with Halloween - Transmute, transmute, transmute all into Light and the electronic God-power of the ascended host. Replace it all with the most lovely, inspirational, God-uplifting forms of angelic beauty that have ever graced this planet, and keep this action of the violet fire building in momentum until the last trace of human discord is changed into perfection! What I call forth for my own world I call forth for all others, eternally sustained, all powerfully active, and world engulfing until all are ascended and free.

Box 1155, Washington 13, D.C. ****** Chapter 44 El Morya - November 6, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 44 - El Morya - November 6, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers Dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our Gracious and Beloved Morya El Speaks: Cultures vary as do philosophical and religious viewpoints among the unascended. Now, an interesting one is the traditional Oriental custom practiced in some countries of the Far East where groups come together to mourn and weep at the birth of a child, and gather to laugh and rejoice at the change called death, which they see as liberation from suffering. Obviously, life which is God was never intended to be in any wise unhappy, and so it would never be except for violations of cosmic or universal Law by unascended beings dwelling in the appearance world. Now, the Law always acts wholly impartially despite appearances to the contrary, and, I would add, is usually most merciful. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy - one of the Beatitudes of blessed Jesus, our brother. Be it so, perfect balance is the divine expression and declares it unwise to weep at either life's beginning or when the last chapter is written. After all, God's Book of life is itself an everlasting one. In his transmuting abilities, in our faith in the light and the author of existence and joyfulness, let us ever rejoice! I am sure you think me well qualified to know something of the sufferings experienced by human consciousness. Embodied in many places as I was before my ascension, I know from personal experience almost the whole span of mundane life, geographical, political, and religious - from the teeming land of the mystic East with its ceaseless struggles, its changing but very ancient culture, to the more active (at times mechanical, yet considered hectic by many) life of the Occident. It becomes a personal misfortune when any lifestream does not see the beauty of life's daily opportunities which are often hidden, even as a very narrow mountain pass behind which lies a magnificent divine future. Men often shun life and seek to escape its seeming ceaseless struggles, feeling that such questionable escape would give them liberation. Now, we know this is never true, for the mere shuffling off of this mortal form imparts no virtue to anyone that they did not already possess. So, do you see, the grace and goodness of God must be consciously called forth directly from your own Presence and lived in the alchemy of life right here and now! You win your victory here, and age or innocence, youth or wisdom, strength or weakness, lack or abundance have nothing to do with that! Is not God the supply of everything good and gracious? Is anything impossible to the Presence of God I AM? You can and must win your victory here where we obtained ours, conquering fear through the power of love! I say and I know his grace is sufficient for thee as for me it was! May I correct any feeling in your thinking pertaining to the action of karma upon all who vacate the body temple. As before stated, all life is God. Consciousness is an ever-flowing stream coming directly from the Source and Presence of God through your own Higher Mental Body and is the life of God rushing in all its sparkling purity down that lovely silver cord which it composes to where it bestows upon you, among other qualities, the gift of self-awareness by which all other things are made knowledgeable to you. Now, the purposes of the Father are identical insofar as opportunity or intent, and he respects no human personality above another, imparting grace to all forever. Each one is intended to be a full expression of the unfailing Light of God - a sun of the Presence. One of the gifts of the Presence is the use of divine wisdom, which was intended to speak through the human intellect (in-telling of knowledge and truth). It became a dangerous thing when individuals concentrated solely on the power vested in them as the right to choose and lost sight of the responsibility to choose the right! So, subtle shadows obscured the plan which God is still daily revealing as his will to those whose ears long to hear, and whose eyes yearn to see in true humility (honoring the Presence as the doer), the glory (glow-ray) which shines from above! Whenever energy is misused by the mass mind of mankind it creates by universal Law a record in the astral realm (that closest to earth) where it is fed daily by all the discordant feelings and wrong thinking of men on earth. It is easy to see that this composes a rather extensive and poisonous residue which adversely affects all who contact it. It can be a trap to those who possess undue human obstinacy, for when these pass from the body they sometimes refuse the help offered by the angels and the helpers of the Christ and are then left face to face with the unhappy effects and causes of their own human creation remaining untransmuted, and sometimes, too, portions of the mass creation until such a time as they accept the guidance of divine beings sent in mercy, or the residue they have created dissipates by natural law. Now, the services rendered by Saint Germain's legions of Light have, it is true, relieved so much of this pressure that seldom do individuals remain long in this atmosphere. For this we thank the student body whose calls will, we know, give us the authority to act and seek the complete removal of all discord until the earth is wholly free. The advanced and careful student will see here an explanation of Jesus' parable concerning the rich man and Lazarus and the gulf fixed between them. Surely you know that God could not or would not himself create any place of torture to harm any part of life either in the appearance world or beyond it. His creation is all glory, and it is but human effects from which you must escape in the ultimate goal of your own ascension and the full divine freedom it brings. Yield not one particle of your energy to fear. Did not God say perfect love casts out all fear? Would it not then be most wise to accept that perfect love which desires only good for each part of himself which was sent forth in love that it might return home to him in love? Right now, today, I am lifting all who will accept it to our level of consciousness where you may contact the angels of the Resurrection Flame and the Ascension Flame, changing even your physical appearance and giving you entrance, while your physical bodies sleep, into those temples and schools of beauty where face to face you can behold the Light and love which we are, acting to prepare each one of you for a closer association with the ascended host and conferring our blessing even upon your loved ones - the blessed freedom and protection of Light and its goal, the ever wonderful, ever transcendent, yet untold wonders of all eternity with the Presence of God which I AM daily revealing. Ever your own MORYA EL _________________________________________________ NOTE: Gracious Readers: The Summit Lighthouse offers you here a song by the Ascended Master Morya El - "I AM" Whole (Tune: Holy, Holy, Holy) I AM, I AM, I AM Wonderful and whole-I Loving and adoring Thy blessed name I AM.

I am sure most of you are aware that in an endeavor such as The Summit Lighthouse, sponsored as it is by the ascended host, wherein we seek to serve the needs of a considerable number of individuals who are scattered across the body of the planet, with sometimes wide variations in their personal development, training, and mundane as well as spiritual understanding, that it is ever so necessary in responding to the somewhat checkered requests we receive to cover subjects herein at times which may seem to some as elementary (at first appearance) and then again a bit out of reach in part to others. To each and all I ask for your patience and understanding until such a time as all of you can as a unit approach the very summit of that personal advancement which is possible for those still unascended, and thus humbly stand on the mountaintop, a fitting candidate for your own ascension in Light! Meanwhile, I am considering the individual by using a most practical approach the present "summit" of each one, in such a manner as to eventually omit no one of my gracious family of readers. From my viewpoint today, together you collectively resemble somewhat a very lovely Himalayan mountain range of snow capped peaks (symbolical of Cosmic Christ purity), some towering over the others, it is true, but all reflecting beautifully the light of infinite Love in parental enfoldment as it seeks to guide the children of its heart ... . Thus is born consideration for one another and your common needs rather than just the thought about each one's own. So too you come to a richer understanding of the service required of an Ascended Master, who must have an outreach that will try to enfold all. Now, the contrast is the human characteristics which stem from fear and hasty judgments. These frequently lead to ill-tempered bickering over insignificant matters including attention paid to the letter of the Law while the spirit thereof is flaunted in the desecration of inharmony. Such was never intended to be in any Ascended Master activity or service of Light. Therefore you will applaud the following reminder of the blessed words of Cyclopea (the Elohim representing the All-Seeing Eye of God), who said that no human being who did not control his feeling would ever control his own thought. Will you make the effort for the sake of my service for mankind to do this, one and all? You can if you will try, for I am helping you right now today. We intend The Summit Lighthouse to ever be a conscious outpost of the unity of Ascended Master love and Light which the Presence beams out continually to all! Thus is this endeavor a means of releasing to a wider range of consciousness even through language barriers the messages of our current endeavors for mankind. Daily we weave through the medium of the Pearls strands of Divine Love and Ascended-Master Light-substance as the shuttle of our attention and your own moves on wings of the Spirit back and forth from one octave to another. The hum of its activity is constant and if you listen you may hear the "song of our striving" for unity amidst all human chaos so that hearing, you may acknowledge and love this song of Ascended Master striving and that it does become to you daily a greater reality as we move forward to cooperate in deed and Truth! Just this morning beloved Kuthumi said to me, "I never tire of considering the infinite mercy that watched over us before our ascension, rescuing us many times from the fleshpots of the world when we were literally wallowing in the misery of our self-made degradation and self-pity, some even facing the second death, but because of the love of beings unascended and ascended alike, and the prayers for our souls, we were changed, even as the mankind of earth are today, to become Ascended Masters and Saints of God's kingdom of love without end!" Well might all contemplate the mercy that creates and endows man with free will and then lovingly directs his prodigal feet homeward. Now, some years ago Kuthumi and I jointly sponsored and secured a dispensation to permit some measure of communication between humanity on earth and those who had passed on for the express purposes of granting comfort, and increasing the faith of mankind in eternal Life which still remains to many unascended beings so much a mystery. It was never the will of God nor our intention to have that opportunity aborted into a "Pandora's box" (the fable of the box which Pandora was forbidden to open and which when opened by her disobedience released winged troubles the world around) of undesirable spiritualistic activities by which, in some cases, vicious astral entities were released upon mankind, finding fertile camping ground in the discordant worlds of those unprotected by the tube of light and its understanding - or those who were unable or unwilling to exercise conscious control of the energy life gave them. I know our chelas will not find difficult the understanding that losing the physical body neither adds to one's virtue nor subtracts therefrom. You will rejoice too in the knowledge that the schools of the Ascended Masters at inner levels open many classes for those in lower as well as higher states of consciousness, in order to give each one who fails to make their ascension in one embodiment the opportunity to do so in the merciful future embodiment which providence provides. I am sure that each of you want for yourselves and your loved ones the best life has to offer whether in our octave or yours. You can, I am sure, see that the purification of each individual lifestream by violet fire in the lovely violet fire temples is a blessing of infinite good and is a release from that portion of the astral realm where mere communications with the human octave would be desired. Beloved ones, when you send a child off to school should it not be with a free mind that it might fully absorb the lessons to be learned? Would it be wise to trouble that one with home problems? When loved ones make a vacation journey in the schoolrooms of everlasting life would it not be well to leave their minds uncluttered with the daily happenings at home? Just give them your love and faith! Those of you who do wish to communicate can always do so by asking the Father to convey your love to that one gone ahead, and I know of no case where an angel was not dispatched on wings swifter than lightning to deliver the blessing! However, the most reliable advices on spiritual matters are obtained from those of us of the ascended host, for we have traveled every step of the way! We know truth and have won thereby our victory. Communion with the Saints is not forbidden, it is encouraged! But, let no one seek to impede or hinder those who are seeking to prepare for higher service in the kingdom by entering our Ascended Master schools - free and bless them all. Let them return to earth in a new embodiment without conscious attachments to the troubles of the past, and therefore be mercifully bereft of a memory of much of that past which would be cause for any unhappiness. Bless all who come and all who go, for it is never surrender or loss, but ever victory and gain to God, who calls upon light to raise and intensify the action of good which he ever beholds expressing as the Christ Light of every one. Do you see? With the friendship of God, the Mighty I AM Presence (which Abraham had) and our own, everything good can happen to you! The keeper of your Christ confidence and its eternal flame of comfort, I AM 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: Gracious reader: We offer here an appropriate poem just received from our beloved Ascended Master Serapis Bey: Unity's Victory No tie ever made to be broken No love ever given in vain No heart alone in the shadows No sorrow is permanent pain! I AM God's comfort so constant I AM love's victory of right, I AM purity's holy communion That will evermore all unite! No separation to endure - all appearing severed, is secure! Within the spirit of union bright I AM one all-ways in God's own light! ****** Chapter 46 Saint Germain - November 20, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 46 - Saint Germain - November 20, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers, Dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our Most Gracious Ascended Master Friend and Brother of Light - Saint Germain Speaks: Blessed ones - when the first Thanksgiving Day was instituted in the land of America it was a direct precipitation of eternal and infinite gratitude into the human heart by the Holy Spirit called forth by love of freedom and the embryonic fulfilling of portions of freedom's dream in the lives of those early Pilgrims. To celebrate such an occasion was but a spontaneous outbreaking or overflowing of the inner cup of gratitude and joy in the devout hearts of those early but hardy Pilgrim fathers. This feeling of gratefulness seemed to surround them as though literally shining forth from rocks and rills and every templed hill! The friendship of the blessed Massasoit and others of the Indian bands whose devotion to freedom made them so sympathetic to the aims of the Pilgrims, expanded in their feelings until not in word alone, but in deed as well they could say and feel "brother"! You see, that first Thanksgiving was memorable not only in the annals of America, but also in world history, for it clearly shows the power of gratitude (thank-full-feelings) in creating a climate of abundance where all can live in world brotherhood. This mini-drama acted in New England and at Plymouth should serve to inspire all who live today that its re-enactment on a world scale is today, by reason of advanced lines of communication blessed as it is by speed (symbolized by the figure of the winged God Mercury), a greater possibility than ever heretofore! The purification of that communication system of the world is now being undertaken and you, too, can help! When as Francis Bacon (one of my many embodiments) I wrote Novus Organum, it too was a milestone on the path to world harmony and peace everlasting! Now, if you observe the Great Seal of the United States on which is emblazoned (notice my word "in-blaze-on" which refers to the use of fire) the inscription "Novus Ordo Seclorum", meaning "The New Order of the Ages has begun," then does it not appear to you that this nation was indeed conceived in liberty as a new order of the ages? Has it not been faith in God (in God we trust) that built and sustained this nation through her every crisis? Ought not men everywhere be thankful this Thanksgiving Day that they are entering a new era when truth is coming to light and being "proclaimed from the housetops," so that infamy may hand its head and steal away from the minds of America's youth who need so much guidance of the right kind? The recent television exposes are but the surfacing of human dross and a prelude to the purification of much of the world's communications systems! Think of this purification as a divinely intended reality! Those who have long been fomenters of dissension, personally profiting thereby (as did the early renegades who sold muskets to the Indians and then stirred up their feelings and further inflamed their hearts with hatred) have but violated the Law of God, receiving the mark of Cain in their forehead as haters of their brother. I tell you today the sinister force that has caused wars and dissensions is no friend to man and greed and materialism are not friends to America. God has supplied far more than enough wealth for all in the world to share his abundance and it is only human greed that keeps it from fully manifesting! Fulfill the law of brotherhood - all can if they but will! Among the wonders of the Constitution of this nation, America, are her guarantees of religious freedom which, among other blessings, must be preserved! Your thankfulness as expressed on Thanksgiving Day was instituted as a safeguard, so that the majority of the people would not forget their benefits, but would at least build a yearly momentum to keep alive the cycle of God's continual bestowing of his blessings upon all - for there are spiritual laws which make gratitude essential - to continue to receive one must give! You who are chelas of the ascended host know the importance of not only annual but daily thanks, but I tell you truly - hourly and momentary thanks are even more effective! Pay happy allegiance to God - the Mighty I AM Presence - it takes nothing from you and brings all his good to you! Amplify your thanks and the spirit thereof without limit for nothing exists to so stir the essence of the very spirit of life, light and love (which is God) as praise and thanks. Recall how that biblical history depicts the children of Israel shouting, singing and dancing - making thus a joyful noise unto the Lord - as their thanks for his many blessings. This served as a divine catalyst to release into their worlds the universal cornucopia of abundance upon them and will do so today, right now for all who can pray "Our Father," thou wondrous light, give us all daily bread. Let no one, man, woman or child, lack the communion with thee which gives them daily spiritual manna - O Father thy kingdom come! Knowing you will rejoice with me in anticipation of the day when all nations can sit down in peace in that kingdom, and further, that I can count on you to do your part, I am blessing you this Thanksgiving and always, in the name of the ascended Jesus Christ who is through me (all ascended beings are one) breaking again the loaf of the young child to feed the multitude. Yes, God supplies abundant life to all willing to receive him! For this and our many blessings (we have one another's loving cooperation - on earth you are our hands and feet, above and within we bless and guide you, as do all Ascended Master friends), I am sure we are cooperatively thankful from day unto day! I AM gratefully your friend of ageless wisdom Saint Germain (The Ascended Master) Note: Gracious reader! If you but knew the good cheer your letters have brought to us there would be no need to say thank you, but we do! Your loving gifts which you have made month after month in conscious awareness of the need to rhythmically meet the weekly cost of supplies in an expanding activity, have made the continuation of this service possible. For your thoughtfulness and generosity we thank you one and all. God bless you! The Staff ****** Chapter 47 El Morya - November 27, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 47 - El Morya - November 27, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers, Dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our Beloved Ascended Master Morya Speaks: Have you ever listened closely to cathedral chimes as their welcome vibrations pass through the seeming still night air? Have you wondered just what there was of comfort in the peal of the bells - or why they inspired you to a more joyous feeling? Here in India where the temple bells are likewise enjoyed by arhat and mendicant alike, many of the great sages refer to the tones of the bell as an expression of the OM vibration - which rhymes so well with home. Now this is no accident for where the home is there is the heart also! If you heart, my good friends and chelas, seeks the treasures of heaven it will naturally and spontaneously respond to heaven's bells of joy! Know also without fail I AM is your eternal OM (home)! Jesus the Christ, now beloved and ascended, dwelled always in this consciousness of which I speak. He was undisturbed by the outer turmoil which raged around him, and you will recall he often said "I AM the way;" "I AM the light;" "I AM the good shepherd;" "I AM in the Father;" "I AM in you" - "I AM with you unto the end" - and many other differently phrased statements, some of which were never recorded by unascended beings, concerning the I AM Presence which beats your heart - which also beat his sacred heart! In that dramatic scene where the soldiers sought to take him he simply asked, "Whom seek ye?" - "Jesus of Nazareth," they replied; "I am he"! He said - and the account clearly records that when he had said "I am he," they all went backwards and fell to the ground! This shows the power of the I AM - use it wisely beloved, for only the human will fall to the ground before the Christ Light which is your true guide or illuminator. Let your devotion for the radiant Christ increase this season! As the bells sing out let them ever recall for you a vision of his luminous Presence in loving remembrance of him who is indeed wonderful, the prince of peace and the everlasting Father! All this is anchored in your heart right now beloved. In the son of the bells let your heart continually sing praises to the ever-watchful peace-command Presence which passeth all human understanding! Lo - I AM always eternal Christ peace abiding within you - El Morya (The Ascended Master Morya El) _________________________________________________ Note: Beloved Ones - "Forget not his many blessings"! So many have expressed to us their love for the "Pearls of the Ascended Masters' wisdom," calling them truly priceless. Some seem to forget that in this world of form bills must be paid in November as well as in May, and that we have no visible means of support except your love gifts! We wonder if you have noticed how very little reference has been made to finances at the close of the Pearls? We hope each one of our gracious friends of light do include us in their calls for personal prosperity, as we include each one of you - and so will not forget to remember to forget not his many blessings! Thank you one and all for all you have done! God bless you! The Staff ****** Chapter 48 Archangel Gabriel - December 4, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 48 - Archangel Gabriel - December 4, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers Dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Beloved Archangel Gabriel Speaks: "Lo that holy one that shall be born of thee shall be called the `Sun' of God?" So spoke I to Mary the Blessed Virgin, chosen for her own God purity to be the cup into which God poured forth the pure essence of his own divinity, changing even the physical form of that vessel into a chalice of living but eternal virtue! Blessed spirits - I can have no other but a divine concept of each and every lifestream - but unfortunately for them, many unascended beings seem to find difficult the acceptance of the Great Law of God which respects no man's person, bestowing an equal grace on all whenever they are ready to receive it! Think you that Jesus and Mary were selected because God respected their outer persons above all others who dwelt in the land of Judea? Nay, beloved children of earth - these blessed flaming spirits (Jesus and Mary) so zealously affirmed their own divinity and the sun or radiance of whole I AM light of the Presence that wherever they moved - at inner levels it was like the Presence of a burning star! On earth the pages of history to the present day flame with the glory of their lifestreams, and although mute to most earthly ears countless multitudes at inner levels compose anthems of such exquisite beauty and tone to their memory and eternal service to life as to fill with delight the angels of heaven - who have sung and heard some magnificent arias I tell you! Each Christmas season when so much of the attention of mankind is on the angelic host, enabling us to draw nigh to them, we cannot but send out our own God blessed feeling of gratitude and praise for that gift of life and consciousness which we have - which enables us to act with lightning speed to inspire and comfort the mankind of earth. Do not think for a moment we do not even walk among you - the service of the Ascended Master friends you love and the service of the angels is very great indeed - farther reaching than most men or women do realize while still unascended. Accept this my letter to you as a token of sacred memory from the heart chronicles of an archangel in memory of my annunciation to the blessed Mother (for each Christmas season at inner levels we re-enact that blessed scene, beaming the inspiration thereof through earth's atmospheres), and let it recall to your own memory that the Christ of God is universally loved everywhere because he is love! This is your true nature also, which you can today amplify without limit until retaining our God feelings of happiness the annunciation event will stir your spirits and revive your sometimes tired bodies until in oneness with your I AM Presence and the angelic host you too can behold God in Christ in you as a reality perceived equally clearly by you as though seen through the eyes of an angel! The season's peace and blessings upon you - I AM - Archangel Gabriel ****** Chapter 49 Archangel Raphael - December 11, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 49 - Archangel Raphael - December 11, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers Dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Beloved Archangel Raphael speaks: Hail, spirit of celestial music! I am that heavenly harmony which fills all the air and ever and always brings that good feeling of radiant and purposeful life into your feeling world and to all who bid me well-come! What would the Christmas season be without the glory of harmony drawn and magnetized by beautiful music? Without these melodic tones of love how much less real would the meaning of that great even seem - particularly to your outer consciousness? The angels who love so well to be recognized by you, smile with radiant joy whenever you invoke their attention - or speak within the seeming silent recesses of your heart to them! Like a shaft of light piercing the veil in a dusty room their smile will come to warm each receptive heart, charging the feeling world with a soft magic - like touch and awakening the inner sight to the reality of angelic colors composed of living light rays expanded into the beauty of heaven! In benevolent grace which is the angelic nature, they smile also - though unseen and unrecognized by the outer being - upon men who doubt or deny their existence. As one of their number I know of their tireless love and service first hand! The creation of the beautiful birds is an angelic accomplishment directed by the Ascended Masters and nature abounds with angelic services! The builders of form who guide the seeming shapeless clouds in the air give form, size and color to the holly berries and the mistletoe; create the essences of the pine and the fragrances of your perfumes chemicalized as they are in nature's own flasks and floral laboratories. In fact, all that is good and beautiful receives ministration from some angelic level under God as his messengers of sometimes fiery service. Our part in the operation of the cosmos is not small! The great swelling angelic chorus that appeared in the skies over Judea to the shepherds two thousand years ago has presently multiplied by countless numbers and the intensified efforts we so gladly make of bringing joy to the world are a very real part of your own soul (the soul of all life). O, my lovely ones, how the daily tensions do screen from you so many so-called invisible treasures! How pleased, nevertheless, we are that the world scale of harmony, peace and good will has been tipped ever so slightly and is being divinely inclined to balance still further! Continue the good work, your prayers, your calls and your decrees. So many of the blessed children of earth, so vaguely familiar with our realm today, were once part of the angelic evolutions! Your glory shall return to your consciousness in due time - I declare it in God's love and name! Your immortal destiny is all about you (as a vessel out on the sea floats majestically surrounded everywhere by water); in the increased or stepped-up vibratory action of your world and affairs by your own God Presence (the I AM in you) lies salvation - life so full, so abundant, so effortless by comparison to denser spheres that the outer seems but the unreal or counterfeit! (Actually - it is only the embryonic evolutionary being presently dwelling in a segment of eternity called time where it is in the state of be-coming the reality which it already is at inner levels!) The Christ or Christos (the Light or Sun of God) was a gift from the Father's Presence through the Mother of the World - your own cosmic Mother. Individually or collectively you are a hallowed vessel of divinity - equal in destiny then with all the sons of the flame of the sacred fire! It is for you to accept that and be free, giving that Presence the authority in your world to transmute the human and raise you into your ascension. Then, in the glory of your own ascension you may someday ask to be included in the annual aerial concert with the many wandering bands of angels and move with them through the earth's atmosphere each Christmas season to assist the unascended remaining and so help complete the raising of Freedom's Star! Is it not a joyful thought - dear ones - to your heart as well as mine? I am so full of the glory of divine music that I hope you too will listen for those greater harmonies from above - listening also with joy to the best mundane selections of the musical works we have inspired upon the so-call master musicians of earth through the years. Truly these God-attuned men were kindred spirits who were always one of us even while walking the ways of earth and wearing garments of flesh. Blessed Ascended Master Jesus will himself bless the earth this year with the greatest release of victory's power that has ever been outpoured since he first drew breath that holy evening so long ago! Then as now he was ever enfolded in both beloved Mary's and his own Presence hearts' light of love divine (all love excelling). Did you know that with every breath you breathe today you take in at least two billion atoms which once were breathed by blessed Jesus long ago in Palestine? You see, we too are just that close to you and I AM rejoicing that we are as near as your Presence, ever ministering to you at your call - for so is the service of the angels and archangels to ever enfold and minister unto you and to all mankind as we did so long ago for beloved Jesus and Mary! I forever remain and I AM your friend of perfect divine harmony - whether expressing in tone, the color of rainbow rays or the feelings of engulfing love! Sincere ones - listen to my message this year as always, for I AM calling to you from out the mounting victorious chorus to which we bid you come also in due time - O celestial spirit of harmony pervade all things now - prevail with the Christ message - Christmas and forever! Archangel Raphael _________________________________________________ (Gracious Readers - The Darjeeling Council through their loving courtesy bring you the message of beloved Archangel Raphael and the poem which follows from the Ascended Master Hilarion.) Thought of Joy Angels through the skies a-light Fill my soul with peace Harmonies of radiant spheres Bring me Christ release. Melody is love alone Love is harmony All so pure, so good and kind Ever reigns in me! I AM born anew with Christ Mary's arms encircle me I AM filled a-fresh with light This is my own nativity! - The Ascended Master Hilarion ****** Chapter 50 Jesus - December 18, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 50 - Jesus - December 18, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers, Dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our Beloved Ascended Master Jesus Speaks: I am so grateful for the light and love released by beloved Archangel Gabriel and beloved Archangel Raphael through the Pearls of Wisdom the past two weeks. The love and blessings they have charged into your world should prove ever so helpful in preparing your consciousness to receive a full measure of the grace your own God Presence wants to give you this blessed season. Hail beloved Michael, Jophiel, Chamuel, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel and Zadkiel - archangels of the light - how grateful I am for each one of you and for all the angelic hosts to the tiniest cherub who make up the entire angelic evolution! How full of rejoicing I am that those of you who so often serve to protect my blessed unascended chelas through the entire year, can end each year of service with a joyful and exultant participation in that choir of divine concord where the message of exultation becomes an energy to raise all men of good will through the magnetic power of heaven's love! Your acceptance, my present day disciples, of the current service of the angelic hosts to all life including your own is so necessary in anchoring the many faceted angelic services to this sweet earth's unascended octave where its efficacy in facing all humanly created conditions can be easily proved if you will hold fast that heavenly life line that connects you to your own God Presence I AM! Among its many blessings is the peace you will receive as the angels assist you in quieting the whirls of vibratory action that result when even a stray disturbance passes momentarily through a tiny rent in your tube of Ascended Master light protection. Often these angels of the sacred fire hold back as if with their own hands the outer riptides of human consciousness which seek to ride into your world - thus cushioning and absorbing the shock you would otherwise feel and transmuting much of human discord. O angelic band - love each one of these my little ones, enfold them now and ever in greater and greater Ascended Master light perfection and protection by the power of God whose majesty and Master Presence of love I AM! Now you have heard it said, "The morning stars sang together for joy" at my birth in Bethlehem, and so it was and still is in those celestial realms from whence I am come! I now call upon the Father who art in heaven to send my very own luminous Presence of Ascended Master light substance to you right now while you read these my words and place your attention upon me! He who ever and always grants all that for which I ask will respond to my request on the instant! Therefore, accept my presence and feel my arms of light surrounding you to bring you my own God feeling of comfort and peace! The peace of love, life and light blazing everywhere this holy night - which threefold flame enfolds and hallows all things! As your very own elder brother, I call again to our Father and ask that the peace of the Presence shall insulate you from all outer disturbing conditions so as to admit nothing into your world but the celestial harmony of our spheres of light this season and ever more! Pay no attention to human discord which always can be known as it bears a disturbing vibratory action. The attention of unascended mankind is turned to the heavens a great deal more during the Christmas season than at any other time of the year, and so as modern Magi I am sure you will continue to look for the birth of Christ everywhere in all hearts! As each planetary body or star emits its own musical note which harmonizes so magnificently with other heavenly bodies as to be called by many "the music of the spheres" - so the statement that "the stars sang together for joy" is ever so true you see. Harmony is the law of the spheres, which law reigns victoriously through the entire planetary chain of your solar system and out through the entire cosmos as well! I say unto you that all space is hallowed by the joy of the Lord himself. The song of the Lord whose melody is peace and love is omnipresent (everywhere I AM present); and so by divine unity centered in a busy diversity the Father worketh hitherto continually and I work for the continual blessing of all life here! The events which preceded my own nativity as Jesus of Nazareth and the grand drama of that holy night have continued century after century to thrill mankind anew, to delight the hearts of the very young as well as those blessed ones who have longer worn the garments of flesh. To those who have responded to the joyous message of peace on earth - good will to men - it would seem almost as though a heavenly conspiracy were in action wherein light itself is given voice in the realm of the unascended, making a harmonious rhapsody out of the blending of the whole event from the song of the angels to my first tiny infant cry! Beloved Mary often said I remained tiny for so short a time and so quickly stood ready for my mission that she could scarce realize it when I first begun my earthly ministry! The years were so short to all of us and there seemed so little to fan the flame of what was to become Christianity or another divine impulse to lead men heavenward! Even in your own life my blessed ones, you can perhaps see how the swiftly flying years soon place upon a child the mold of a man and as each one resumes their progress (with each new embodiment), gently placing the spiritual mantle of grace over the karmic girdle which all have forged from the good and evil sowings of their own past, they move into that action which the Holy Christ Self directs, becoming caught up in a whirl of events where each life can work out its own salvation in the best way possible until it finds its own immortal destiny - swift or slow though it may seem to the outer consciousness. Use each God-given moment as though it were a jewel of liquid light shining with heavenly opportunity, so that by your God-purified service it congeals to the form of Ascended Master perfection and is then placed by gentle obedience in the crown of universal goodwill to honor the glory of all the suns of light! May the circlet of beloved Mary's and Saint Germain's hearts love and light of freedom enfold you and all you hold dear with the expanding grace of life's perfection until the spirit of the youthful chela stands in the glory of its eternal Christhood - an ascended God-free being of immortal victory! My own - before your ascension takes place the sacred flame of love will leap for joy on your own heart's altar, and then shalt thou know the most glorious meaning of these words, Thou shalt love the Lord Thy God (I AM) with all thy heart (thy portion of the Father's kingdom centered in thee) and then loving thy neighbor shall be easier by far - as thy neighbor puts on Christ and becomes also every thyself! (Thy true self is God.) You too are carpenters and builders of Nazareth plying your craft in many a clime and place far from Judean fields, widening the borders of the kingdom to externalize our grand architect's plan, but never far from the watchful and loving care I give - for to the present day I AM the Good Shepherd! Accept my blessing now and ever, knowing that the best gift for all life on earth will be and is an eternal Christmas without end - circling the round of the whole year with its arms of light as I now enfold you with my love. I AM your Jesus the Christ (The Ascended Master Jesus Christ) ****** Chapter 51 Kuthumi - December 25, 1959 ****** Vol. 2 No. 51 - Kuthumi - December 25, 1959 To Our Gracious Readers Dedicated to Love's Service the World Around - Our Beloved Ascended Master Kuthumi speaks: Beloved God-Free Friends - "Lord make me an instrument of Thy Peace" - so I petitioned long ago when embodied as Saint Francis of Assisi, the friend of the birds, earth, sky, and all that is! It is unfortunate but true that in the many recorded writings which endure to the present day on the pages of your earth's many books are numerous conflicting statements of both a religious and secular nature. Since the query of Pilate "What is truth?" (which stood before him in physical form in the incarnation of beloved Jesus) men have continued to seek for more light and understanding, hoping in the midst of confusion that they might find some key which would lead them to a more conscious unity and greater amicability. Jesus wisely declared "If the light (of wisdom in this case) which is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness"! If, blessed seekers after wisdom, you care to examine this one passage you can by stretching the mind possibly observe at least two different meanings here - one seeming to imply that if your wisdom be error it will ensnare you in greater error; another meaning appears a possible eulogy of light itself, declaring that is the truth or light of wisdom in your mind be considered error or shadow (because it is really light and cannot ever be anything else) it is great even though encased in humanly misqualified but temporal shadow! The propensity of men to condemn other unascended beings simply because of a variation of scriptural interpretation or disagreement concerning a given meaning is a weakness of first magnitude usually less desirable by far than even an error of interpretation would be! Better love move where truth mingles with error than where a knowledge of the Law operates without love and compassion. "Lord make me an instrument of Thy Peace" - to gently lead the many factions of thy children to that peace where they can sit down together and harmonize their many common blessings and agreements. As they learn to purify their good intentions with grateful hearts - leaving judgment and justice to "God the Mighty I AM Presence" and the Karmic Board (who were appointed by reason of wisdom and experience to serve the Great Cosmic Law) unity will come and true wisdom be made known through loving cooperation. Thus will the various unascended endeavors of the Great White Lodge be able to function in more complete harmony and efficacy, externalizing more and more light to direct the race of mankind to their immortal destiny - the peace God intends for this world of infinite love! Surely you know that a dazzling light of complete or absolute maximum intensity would lack contrast, and thus be formless and without variation. Hence God's obedient light substance was endowed with specific charges of infinite intelligence to hold and magnetize a fixed vibratory rate which would control its manifest expression of size, form, color or whatever characteristics it seeks to express. The colors in a beautiful painting or in nature itself from white (which is a blend of all colors) down through the whole range of shade (of the light) from gray tones to the brighter colors of the rainbow compose an expansive spectrum - a cornucopia of enchanting variety! What would life mean without the great blessing of varying expressions? Speaking of variety, I am gazing for a moment upon the lengthy historical tapestry of this earth. Among its early records is the story of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, symbolizing the potential inversion of divine perfection by mankind. The dangers of permitting the mind to indulge in such inversion (which is shadow) were pointed out as forbidden fruit and so it is still! The statement, "There is nothing but God acting here" is synonymous with "God's in his heaven, all it right with the world" ... and so should it be, but through inversion of truth error is born and the shadows of discord then cover the simple joy of living. The need men feel to classify persons, places, conditions or things as good or evil is nothing but human nonsense as every Ascended Master knows. You know life is good (God)! The love cosmos is your Father's house. The gentle rain, the dew, the blessed earth and the fruits thereof; the air you breath, the waters with which you bathe to purify the outer form - and which you drink to purify the inner parts of that physical form; the fire of your heart which speeds life through that form; the fire which warms your food and homes, blessing you with abounding inspiration to love one another even as God loves you - all these are life - are good - are God. O teach men, teach Christ's little ones that truth! Yes, all truth! Not for conflict - there has been enough of that - show them that evil does not exist except as e(veil) which covers the shining face of the light! Behold God (Good) everywhere and be immortal - I AM the Tree of Life, the formless one ever projecting light rays into the form in accordance with the blueprint or pattern in my own spirit of cosmic fire! The purpose and the plan are simple in the one - complexity is born in its outpicturing through the many, but the confusion is at rest or peace when the attention is stilled or centered on the Presence of God I AM in you! Again I say, "Lord make me an instrument of Thy Cosmic Peace!" Restore to men the vision of life's daily loveliness - show them the true worth of living! As dear Morya has said so often - "The past is prologue"! "Where there is no vision the people perish", declare the Prophet of old, and right now today you who would without fail be friends and chelas of the Ascended Masters - remember to hold the vision of life's loveliness and be a true friend to life as you practice in the grand art of molding and fashioning a man - you! Behold the goodness, the divine potential in you, and seek the wisdom to draw and focus that marvelous life plan which your own Presence holds for your lifestream - which perfection is all around you waiting manifestation. You can, as many of the saints have done, focus this flame of divinity close about you so that wherever you move it is the vitality of the living Christ in action! O, how your Presence longs to bestow that grace upon you! You will never be deceived then by those who seek to spread discord while claiming kinship with the Ascended Masters. In the name of divine wisdom when will people learn to love? Love rejoices to hear, see and feel good everywhere - hold fast to that! Only words of kindness and love that can help men win their victory and their own ascension ought to be spoken. The power of God is unfailing in its raising purifying action to set men free. The wisdom that always knows the right thing to do and the love that understands without condemnation when human beings fail or fall short of the mark is of God. Remember as each one of you sincerely direct your own kingdoms in righteousness that I AM the power of contrast but never of shadow - for the light ever shines through. The light of your own I AM Presence will carry you to your eternal victory. This is holy wisdom with which gentle spirit I enfold you - Your cosmic teacher, I AM Kuthumi (The Ascended Master Kuthumi) _________________________________________________ O day of holy gladness When I AM guiding youth Who humbly lean upon the staff Of life's eternal truth. The hope that lives in everyone Is like a sunbeam from the sun The truth that nevermore shall fail Is like the Sacramental Grail! Let all men drink the cup of life And finding freedom from the strife Lift grateful hearts to God once more And gently knock on heaven's door! - KH =============================================================================== **** Footnotes: **** {1} Rev. 21:5 {2} "They have left unstained."
