    23.1  Prayer to Portia

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!
