"Arise, Shine! for Thy Light Is Come"

     Beloved Who Walk in the Light As I AM in the Light -

     In the midst of man's preparation for entrance into his cosmic victory and the state of life God intends all to enjoy and to have, I am confident that sincere souls will understand the need for faith, the need for persistence, or constancy, and the need for devotion combined with intense gratitude.

     My own manifestation of the eternal radiance upon the mountaintop was but a prelude to the victory of my ascension. Blessed ones, the drama of Good Friday, the hours in the tomb, and the resurrection1 were made comparatively lighter because of the blessing of the transfiguration. I hope that having accepted the reality of this initiation in my life's history, you will see its possibilities in your own life and will make it a part of your history, too.

     It is a perfectly natural spiritual manifestation - as simple and sweet as the sunshine itself. It is quite effortless, for once you get the full realization of just what your own Mighty I AM God Presence can actually do for you, you just stand back and let the Presence act in your world as it is wont to do.

     Then, when you call to your own dear God Presence, you will sense God's interest in you as your own heavenly Father - even as I did - and you will know, first of all, that God wants to transfigure you. Being convinced that this is so will help you journey from the consciousness of possibility to the state of realization.

     Let no man tell you otherwise, for I know and have experienced these glorious transitions from human thought to divine reality. When I say, "Lo, I AM with you alway," I speak from eternal realms of existence where I am still able to reach out and contact your own world of thought and feeling.

     Blessed ones, did I not say that every plant which my Father did not plant must be rooted up?2 This is the meaning of the change that takes place when God's light glorifies you. You see, no matter how much glory we of the ascended hosts may sense or absorb, the only way for you to enter completely into a state of God-victory as we did is through the conscious way which I AM - in other words, the "I AM" Way! This puts each individual squarely before the door of his own beloved Holy Christ Self that he may knock and be admitted.3

     Being itself is the "AM" of existence, my beloved. But in order for you (the "I" individualized) to enter in, you must become the "I" of the "I AM" and experience for yourself the wonders of the glory of God. Do you see, blessed ones? Oh, do meditate on this point of the Law!

     Let your whole being become, therefore, increasingly conscious of God's great light! Be conscious that his light is a reality all around you at all times and that it is the reality of existence.

     Sense that you can contact the Light and that it can contact you. Sense that it is the life-force in every budding flower, every sweet scent, every ray of sunshine, every feeling of hope in the human heart. Sense that it is the eternal bond between heart and heart, that it is the avenue of Ascended Master communication, that it is the light of thousands of suns shining in their strength. Sense that God can - by the power of making himself large or small, by the power of the "I AM" - put all of this radiance of himself into every cell of you and into your whole being!

     Call for the intensification of the cosmic flame of the transfiguration and for the amplification of your faith in it. Be constant in your application. And then, with heartfelt devotion and gratitude, await the sudden expansion of the perfect love and light that casts out all fear.4

     Welcome into your lifestream with open arms and grateful heart the flow of God's light without limit until, like me, you abide in God's arms of transfiguring mercy where you always know the full meaning of God-freedom which all of you should share - and one day shall!

     All blessings of the cosmic dawn to you!

Your
Jesus the Christ
