Far from human imagination is the wondrous consciousness of celestial bliss! It is, however, the mercy of God that draws mankind from the humdrum daily affairs of the mass mind and exalts the senses themselves so as to bless the one so raised with divine awareness. How truly the heart of most men yearns for the fullness of its divine freedom - yet paradoxically continues to seek elsewhere on earth for it. As a Cosmic Mother, it becomes my natural concern to inspire all the dear souls on earth, reminding them also of the precious gifts which the Father has prepared and holds in store for all who trust him enough to believe in and invoke his mercy!
At first the idea of trust as a prerequisite to receive the grace of mercy may seem a little farfetched to some, yet I guarantee to all that the greater trust one has, the more easily the mercy of God is obtained and can act in one's world. You see, the character of God (the Mighty "I AM" Presence) is universal and embodies all the lovely qualities of the Godhead which have served to enamor the saints down through the ages. Among these, mercy is but one blessed quality, and on earth today it is sorely needed wherever the karma is gross and wherever the sense of trust is either slight or wavering. The fact is that wavering feelings (or lack of trust) act so as to prevent the full aspect of God's mercy from springing into action to assist the one requiring it!
Sometimes individuals feel that their conduct or thoughts have offended us or the Godhead. The sinister side of life usually attempts to tempt or unseat the disciple at such times. We therefore lovingly advocate that all our chelas obtain now and daily "by request" (by asking their own God Presence for it) a very real sense of divine trust. In times of personal and world peril such as presently face all of mankind - poised as they are on the brink of world evolution (of the spirit), or world revolution of the so-called godless forces of materialism - this quality of mercy is needed more than ever!
Fortunately, those who seek God-happiness will find it in the will of God - and those who do the will of God will naturally find God-happiness therein! Simplicity of phrasing is needed here to give all our devotees a real sense of our meaning. You see, the inner motive of all who love the Light is identical - the life plan may vary - the karma may vary; the daily situations encountered may vary from one lifestream to another, but all receive benefit from the balm of mercy! Hence, although the universe thrives on love and "loves mercy," the one who would benefit most must take action in thought to stand out from beneath the "shade of mere personality" even of self - looking into the sunshine of God's merciful face! I assure all of you that God knows not evil - your Mighty "I AM Presence" knows not so-called evil - neither can see in you aught but perfection. Therefore, the great laws of karma move into action without bias, dispensing fairness to all impartially in accordance with law - or justice - whose blindness (Justice is reputed proverbially blind) only signifies that the Godhead sees no evil in creation here - acting with closed eyes while inner eyes envision only loveliness so as to maintain only the good in action!
When my Son Jesus declared so lovingly on the Judean hillsides that "except ye become as little children ye can in nowise enter in" - it was a truth which endures to the present. Little children do not usually doubt with the callousness peculiar to so-called adults. (Unless of course they have been cruelly and wrongly mistreated ... and even then there is so much more malleability of spirit in the very young whose doors of receptivity are kept open toward faith in heaven - toward the sun and stars!)
Childlike trust is never wrong! No degree of sophistication can ever replace the spiritual values of life or the great power of trust to release mercy's balm to individuals or the world. Inner knowing, loving certainty and a sense of "nearness" to God such as beloved Jesus had is a priceless aid! Emulate him, then, if you will - emulate any of heaven's sons or daughters - but in God's name fear not to be one of his "little ones."
We can help raise you - your own Presence will do it - but it is human effluvia and human terror that will pull down toward the degradations of the outer world's shadow. The mercy of God nullifies the force of gravity active in human creation - the pull of the senses and the degradation of the mass mind! Then, when free to seek the mind of the saints - the lovely Ascended Master state - do not hesitate to do so by rising consciously with all Boldness! I AM your Cosmic Mother - as much interested in each one of you who loves your own God Presence and feels your divine kinship with us as I am in beloved Jesus! This is not unnatural - but very natural. Therefore, I advocate a like sense of unity with us. Think of us as your neighbors, your friends, and your loved ones - for so we are! Then will the expanding power of God within you seek to magnify the Lord in you and in all life, and you will be exalted by the Most High.
The mercy of the Lord endureth forever. Let all who look to God know the truth of this, for no wisdom - esoteric or secular - can ever change that or make ineffective the blessed mercies of God. I tell you truly, the mercy of God shall usher in the golden age! Not that all men merit this by their deeds, but because love always responds to the calls of the few as well as the many. Thus shall the earth be made free to enjoy the magnificent golden days to come! Then shall the olive branches of eternal peace wave over all the earth because God liveth in all, as in you! O, men and women of living destiny - I AM your Cosmic Mother! I urge then the invocation of the "spirit of mercy" over all the earth by a perpetual novena to the God of mercy, by a spirit of thanksgiving that shall sweep the earth free of fear - free of doubt, and receptive to all that is benign and helpful.
