Beloved Who Would Form the Diamond Heart of Mary and Morya -
The reverberations of the bells whose sweet and solemn tones gently stir the hearts of men continue to ring out a higher message of Love's own voice calling the sons of men to an eternal Angelus. And God's peace settles over cities, towns, and villages covering all with a gleaming mantle of splendid and holy light whose weaving waxes stronger with each passing year unto that perfect day when the perfection of Christ shall rule in every human heart.
This can be a reality when trust in God (as freedom's motto states, "In God We Trust") becomes the watchword of every man and woman who will firmly, wisely, lovingly reach out through the dense fog of human calamities toward the peace of spiritual calm. When called into action, this calm produces hallowed feelings of unity and the sweet whisper of Life's ever-new opportunities.
Beloved ones, peace and love are presently evasive to humanity, whose continuous generation of turbulence has delayed their perfection both personally and on a planetary scale. When these qualities reign in the heart, the beauty of human teamwork in loving cooperation with God will make men their own architects in the golden age.
To the end of maintaining world peace and love, I have spent countless hours before the magnificent organ in my home here at Shigatse, in Tibet, consciously uniting the love of my own heart with that omnipresent love of God which blazes through the entire cosmos and is the life-energy of every star in the vast starry sea of sky.
Drawing this universal energy into my own being in almost infinite quantities, I have created music of a sublime character, full of healing love rays, which magnetizes myriad lovely angel devas who travel joyfully on wings of song with my music. Seated at my organ, I consciously direct and radiate (broadcast) through my heart tender, uplifting and powerfully transforming strains to all who are bowed down with depression, sorrow, pain, and every enclosing material force.
As you well know, these conditions shut out the Christ Light and prevent God's healing peace from manifesting for my many little brothers - from those with weary, dust-covered frames to those anointed with sweet oils and such fragrant perfume as is reminiscent of the first Christmas with our special gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.1
Many dear hearts have wished one another a merry Christmas while others have thought about the need for an eternal Christmas which abides through the whole year. Know, blessed ones, that the Christ Mass, the tangible focus of invisible yet spiritual Light, or Christos, is ever within all men. As beloved John the apostle declared, "This is the Light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." Hence, this Light of great magnitude who is the Christ of every man shall one day be to all people the salvation of the earth.2
Every day increasing numbers of God's followers are beginning to understand his greater plan for them and can therefore more readily fathom the so-called mysteries of Christianity and other world religions. Thus, religious study is emerging from a mode of relative obscurity (full of mystery to many) to one of almost popular appeal among those willing to face the reality that tradition is no substitute for Truth and that general acceptance is not either.
The simple yet beautiful idea of each one's heart as a creche (cradle) into which the tiny Holy Christ Flame descends to abide and guide (as the "hidden man of the Heart,"3 i.e., the hidden manifestation of God) further reveals that the heart of man has focused within it God's Life on the human level (in the physical octave), making it truly a Holy Grail constantly brimming with the effulgence of divine love. When this Love is set free to flow unhampered by human thoughts and feelings, it will wash away every error, correct every adverse condition, and act with a healing resurgence of unlimited compassion.
Today some correctly perceive the role of beloved Jesus as the drama of every man's quest for Godhood. If people accept the negative idea that God requires human or divine sacrifice as a propitiation for world sin (karma) - whether they see the crucifixion as a vicarious atonement, retroactive, for their sins committed after the fact or they accept the idea that they, too, must undergo the agony of Gethsemane and Calvary - they ought to be compelled by the logic of their belief system to accept vicariously every positive expression of the Christ as well.
And thus, they ought rightly to prefer above all to ponder these words - "Thou art my beloved Son; this day have I begotten thee"4 - as also applicable to themselves and to their reality as sons of God.
I am certain that when men fully enter into the kingdom (consciousness) of God, they no longer have tears or a sorrowful heart but dwell continually in a state of listening grace where the positive love of the Holy Spirit for all creation is the only music heard in the heart or mind. In this great spiritual sensing, death is swallowed up in victory.5 On such as these does the complete meaning of God as synonymous with Good dawn as reality.
In lesson 8, I pointed out the dangers of selfish overconcern which keeps people bound to a round of self-condemnation. Blinded by preoccupation with self in any form, talent goes unused for God's glory while people ride the human merry-go-round, and opportunity for true God Self-realization is denied its rightful place. Wrapped in a napkin of selfish exclusiveness, those yielding to the impulses of self-love frequently deny themselves true freedom and justice.
Determining to have their own way apart from God's, they carve out a life of idolatry and pleasure, oblivious of the planetary needs or the fields white to the harvest6 of countless millions awaiting our message, praying for the chance to learn more of Truth and the cosmic purposes of Almighty God.
The greatest measure of spiritual and - I can rightly say - even material security is vouchsafed to those who turn to serve the Light; for one day, when least expected and wholly unannounced, all will see in fact that the Light is actually serving them!
Sometimes people unknowingly forsake the guidance, temporarily, of their own God Presence I AM, hoping to find in some other phase of life's complex experiences and educational offerings the assistance they require to overcome their problems and get ahead. I say in absolute God Truth, your own God Presence is the fullness of all that you desire. And should you weary of hearing this, your own Christ-intelligence will try to reach you and lovingly say, "Be still, and know that I AM God."7
You see, your Presence wants to help you to do all things well. Therefore it directs you through your Christ Self to silence mere human qualities and to develop that vital quality of listening grace where, in love's meditation upon God, you diligently seek to know and be his will and wisdom in action. Precious ones, if you would overcome as the saints have done, not vain effort or undue strain but the practice of a gentle submission is the requirement whereby you welcome the gift of heavenly virtue - responding always to the heavenly constraint of the gentle Presence, whose guidance is unfailing when your desire for Truth is uncompromising.
Everyone persisting in selfish error stands out in bas-relief, as did Lot's wife (who became a pillar of salt), as an example of misplaced human attention. Instead, lift up your eyes to the hills, as the people Israel have chanted for thousands of years: "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD ... the I AM THAT I AM, who is my Light, my Beloved, my I AM Presence"8 - never late and never in short measure, regardless of human concepts; for the Divine Helper is an agent of cosmic law and must perforce answer the all-compelling call of souls in distress.
Beloved Morya and other Masters of the Great White Brotherhood are desirous of creating a worldwide spiritual unity through the activity of The Summit Lighthouse. Naturally, the opposition will try to defeat our very purpose, which is all for the Light. However, the Light of God shall not fail! (That is why Micah, the angel of the LORD, the blessed Angel of Unity, recently stood tangibly on the platform of the Washington National Cathedral.)
Therefore, the truehearted - our blessed, most determined chelas - will readily understand the need for loyalty to a cause and to a purpose. Likewise they will understand with clear intentions, a correct perspective, and common sense the need for group decrees for the protection of the fulfillment of this goal.
The Darjeeling Council is sponsoring the activity of The Summit Lighthouse to be a great clearinghouse of light, a haven of refuge in future days for all who love the Christ Light and are able to see the need for such a central agency holding within its framework the dedicated services and purity of the Order of the Diamond Heart. You see, a heart is universally needed as a focus through which to channel energy to any body or group effort. This is true from the Great Central Sun down to the centrosome of a cell or the nucleus of an atom.
Therefore, you will understand why the light rays of this diamond heart of planetary dimensions are to be under the direction of the blessed Mother Mary and the Chohan of the First Ray, El Morya, whose purpose it is to bring about as speedily as possible the edicts of those angels who under divine guidance long ago chorused, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."9
Those who understand the need for an organization to serve as a framework or structure through which the Ascended Masters and their chelas can function, those who can also understand that some organizations once under our guidance have suffered from the hardening of their spiritual arteries and are no longer entirely useful to us, will then lovingly and joyously give their obedience to the Light and will offer themselves to be the backbone, the heart, and the radiance of our purpose to externalize the Christ Light and to teach all peoples how to do likewise - especially those who seek and want the whole Truth. Thus, our diamond heart will be God-chosen and it shall manifest to the benefit of all.
Teachers who will honor the Christ 365 days a year will by and by see shining down the avenue of the years a blazing sun of Love's wisdom radiating large and beautiful through the trees of life. True-blue chelas of the will of God who have taken up the path of the Second Ray of Illumination in order to fill the urgent need of the hour to be teachers of Jesus' calling unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel10 and Judah will be personally crowned with the rays of the Corona Class.
When our lessons are meditated upon by you (from the first through the forty-eighth), they will give you such insight and in-depth understanding of the path of individual Christhood as The White Lodge11 deems essential to your victory in this life and to the opening of heaven's door thereby unto the multitudes through the blessed Summit Lighthouse.
Taking the completed work as a manual in hand for study and reference as you first try on, then wear with dignity and compassion the mantle of the ministering servant, you will have a solid foundation of knowledge and a cornerstone of justice to assist you to be both wise and effective in helping us guide and direct the spiritual affairs of God's children. By your conscious cooperation with us, we shall together lead all children of God to greater planes of advancement, soul progress, and personal development free of the pitfalls of the past.
With the holy Christmas season drawing nigh as this is being written, I trust you will recall that we have often referred to your calling amongst God's people. You are indeed called to represent the ascended host and the Darjeeling Council to the many; and therefore, you ought to apply to El Morya for training that you might perform this service in wisdom's way. Most men are no more familiar with us than they are with the angels! With all due charity, teach them the way of the Ascended Masters.
Blessed ones, through your Holy Christ Self (by ample adoration poured out to the Beloved as "the only begotten of God,"12 i.e., the only part of you created solely by God, in contrast to your human consciousness), you ought to seek diligently to externalize the treasures of Higher Consciousness upon earth, knowing that you will thereby draw forth the identical benedictions and ministrations of the angels as blessed Jesus did and as every Ascended Master has done in his final embodiment on earth.
Then men will see your good works;13 for the light of your aura glowing in strength like Jesus' aura will draw to itself, by the power and radiance of God's love poured out without limit upon the whole cosmos, those spiritual realities which took tangible form long ago one wondrous night in Bethlehem of Judaea, and which today - this day - await rebirth in you!
O angels of God, our holy brothers, bless all children of the Light and especially our readers. Bless all seekers for Truth and especially all doers of Good who shall bring Peace to this loving earth.
