HABIT
Corona Class Lesson 34
Call
"Builded Together for an Habitation of God"

     Sojourners of Earth Seeking Inter-Soul Relationships and Dimensions -

     Foremost among the problems men need to solve for themselves is that of the power of habits of negative action.

     Let no one's heart be troubled because he has long endured banal habits; let none feel a sense of absolute frustration or loneliness concerning the overcoming of these unwanted conditions. I AM the compassionate Christ anchored above each lifestream, longing to pour the full momentum of my assistance into every waiting consciousness chaliced in the attitude of receptivity.

     Beloved ones, you do not walk alone. It is ever foolhardy to insist upon solving your own problems without calling to us for aid. It is equally unwise to feel that once the call for assistance is sincerely offered, heaven will deny the earnest petitioner any pure desire of the soul for more light and grace to manifest the God-intended designs of immortal Life!

     You are my disciples in the Word when you daily demonstrate the Law of the Word. The circle of your oneness - two of you or more united in prayer - establishes the polarity of Alpha and Omega necessary for the precipitation of the light and will of God in the physical octave. Thus, the oft-quoted verses from Matthew, which I did indeed speak to my own, are a scientific formula of the Paraclete for disciples of the universal Christ in all planes of Matter and all systems of worlds:

     " ... If two of you shall agree on earth [in the Matter universe] as touching any thing [person, place, condition, circumstance, problem, or plan - past, present, or future] that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father [the Mighty I AM Presence] which is in heaven [in the Spirit universe]. For where two or three are gathered together in my name - I AM THAT I AM Jesus the Christ - there am I [there is the I AM Presence of me] in the midst of them."1

     Remember: The call does compel the answer. If you ask the Father for bread, he will not give you a stone2 - for the alchemy of the Holy Spirit is precise. But if you ask and receive not, search your soul and seek the good habit of God's will, that the kingdom without fulfill the blueprint (will) of the kingdom within.3

     You have heard it said that one day is with the LORD as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.4 Blessed ones, so is the consciousness of the Almighty Creator and Father of all: his consciousness is yours if you will but drink in the fullness of all that it represents.

     I am eternally grateful for the counsel and love given me so generously by my blessed mother, Mary. I am grateful for the love of the angelic hosts and the dear Maha Chohan, for the allegiance and devotion of Lord Maitreya and all of the brothers in white whose consciousness of the purity of God was given to me long ago in answer to my call.

     Enhanced by the loveliness of inter-soul relationships and dimensions, my mission two thousand years ago belonged to the fulfillment of the universal Christ consciousness in the heart's love of many who assembled around me, drawn by the magnetism of the Holy Spirit and the sweet yearning to see the perfection of God manifest upon earth.

     Today, when the hearts of many are disturbed by seemingly imponderable problems and unbearable weights of world and individual karma, I urge that habits of hopelessness and depression be forsaken and that momentums of thought and feeling which generate despair and feed the alliance of animalistic magnetism be shunned.

     Look upward instead to the starry field of heaven and enter into a calm spirit of knowing that in the awesome expanse of God there is the ever-present watchfulness of eternal Love! That blessed Presence (whose will is implemented by myriad angel hearts) waits to serve the needs of earth and each brother or sister seeker who would find his way among the shadows of the night, among the densities of all sorts of contrived oppositions to Truth, among the vain and unruly conversations of men which brutally waste the eternal energy without ever so much as freeing or blessing one solitary precious lifestream!

     "I AM the immortal consciousness of Truth. I AM that Christ Truth which affirms the power of Light and Light's intelligent energy to establish in my world, mind, and affairs the perfection of permanent Good!"

     Hold this consciousness. Decree and determine in your heart that all discordant and base habits shall come under the power of Christ-domination. Thus shall the Light continue to expand in the citadel of your being, raising you up and healing you from all unwanted conditions that have ever troubled your heart!

     Beloved Kuthumi and I have noted current trends among the youth to become subject to the nefarious influences of dope and licentiousness. In their search for soul freedom and in their ignorance of spiritual law, they do despite to their souls. The devils have piped their tune and the children of this generation, throwing caution to the winds, are engaging in most dangerous practices without moral restraint or respect either for their bodies or for the sacred energies of their chakras which they do violate by these unbridled activities.

     We are well aware that the many are not inclined to observe the sanctity of holy orders. This we have not asked. But we do offer our hand to every child of God seeking freedom from unwanted conditions of sensual habit and addictions of the flesh which corrupt the spirit. Know they not that the temple of God is holy, which temple they are, and must not be defiled?5 Well, "Tell them!" for thereby peace and joy shall abound in your daily living as God intends, and many shall be freed - by my Spirit working through you - from the terrible guilt, the condemnation of self and brother, and the arrogant demons of alienation (from God, from family, from society) currently indulged.

     The human habit of censure - after the party is over and the death of a friend or idol by an overdose of drugs sobers the carefree - is not the cure for a malaise of the soul nor for the desire to escape from the responsibilities of karma. It will take more than a moment of remorse to free the soul from the power of enslaving habits reinforced by denizens of the underworld. (Make no mistake, I kid you not!) Yet those who are bound while claiming they are free assume a form of self-righteousness which is powerless to transform them or to cut them free from the real problems of emotional and mental control which they must face sooner or later, though this, too, they deny.

     To return to the fold of infinite Love is to find the ready hand of divine assistance which will enable the chela not only to rise above unwanted conditions to their complete transmutation, but also to put to good use God's energy formerly dissipated in a round of senseless self-indulgence. Leaving off the insidious practice of condemning society, parents, or an inequitable materialistic civilization, the revolutionaries of the Spirit express God's unlimited freedom in the building of a new world and a new age based on the Higher Consciousness of the Christ of each individual.

     Let the habitual habit of positive affirmation of the Good, and the effective denial of the works of the iniquitous, generate a momentum of God's power within the soul to overcome all self-induced bondage. Let praise of the Holy One of God - your own beloved Christ Self - in an exalted and wonderful manner to the glory of the Almighty and the blessing of this generation be the key to necessary change in man and society!

     Beloved ones, there is much that needs to be developed among the ministering servants of the nature and habit of the Good Samaritan.6 It is the building into character of charitable qualities that strengthens our trained teachers to hold such attention upon the Great God Source as to draw down the universal intelligence of the I AM that will enlighten and enliven them with a charge of the Father's great love. Then effortless victory shall be theirs solely because they are saturated with the eternal joy and radiance of knowing that the light of God dispels the darkness and shadows of all human ignorance with the greater purity of Himself.

     How futile it is to let a lack of grace deter you from outpicturing the fullness of the light already given you. Grace is a quality of the heart of Christ containing all mercy and forgiveness, love and light. Contrary to the accepted doctrine that grace comes only from myself, you yourself can increase the grace flowing through your heart center (chakra) from your Holy Christ Self. This you accomplish by various loving means, including the multiplication (expansion and refinement) of talents given into your hand instead of burying them in the napkin of despair.

     These talents are, in fact, your past momentums of good habit built up in previous lives of service to the God of Truth. Each talent is a developed genius acquired by hard work and diligence to the duty of unfolding the soul's inner potential.

     Your talents, presently in your hands, are the fruits of former striving and accomplishment plucked from your Tree of Life by your I AM Presence and released from your causal body for your further good use and increase as you shepherd my own flock in this life. Talents exercised produce tangible grace which you may share with all friends of light. Do this with a magnanimous heart and the habit of goodwill and you will find your freedom from all grief and mourning, despondency and a sense of littleness or fearfulness.

     You are beloved, whether fully aware of it or not, and I am certain that each one of you who will read these words and look up at me right now and call for my light will feel me standing within your room in my Electronic Presence radiating my light and blessing you with the precious anointing of spiritual assistance and my Christ-victory which overcomes the world.

     Beloved ones, be of good cheer! Because I have overcome the world, you can hope to do so, too. For you also are one with the Father and myself as you embrace the Life within you which is God, the Mighty I AM Presence, in obedient action everywhere toward all hearts.

     Your expansion of your faith in the Divine Being where you are will prove of inestimable value in attaining your victory. If you believe that you can draw forth from God the desired qualities of Life, I tell you they are yours already. It is doubt that dilutes the essence of manifestation until it is so dim as to be unrecognizable.

     You need to (1) Shut out unwanted thoughts and conditions from your world firmly, (2) Call forth the protection of your tube of light faithfully, (3) Use the violet fire of freedom daily, and (4) Call for the protection of heaven, the radiance and the power of the Archangels and Ascended Masters constantly - without fail. No matter what men may declare to the contrary, without the assistance of many of these wonderful beings of Light, I would never have been successful in my own mission!

     Surely, then, if it was needful for me to have cosmic assistance from the Great Ones - with all the previous training and assistance I had been given at inner levels of life (for I came forth from God and descended from heavenly places) - you, too, should feel the need to call it forth.

     Some have continued to call forth love and light without seeing any tangible results or very little fruits for their labors. Let them look within motive, heart, and akashic records for fortitude. If motive be pure and heart be pure, then they will see in the records that the answer has been given, for the call always compels the answer!

     Never in the annals of heaven's contacts with earth has any reasonable or lawful request, sincerely made, been denied. Those occasions when it has seemed so have always been governed by inner laws and heavenly reasons known to the Karmic Board. No cause for alarm exists in this universe. It is fearfully and divinely made;7 its form, dimension, and guiding intelligence are God's love in action.

     With the coming dawn, I am certain you will find that the vain shadows of the night of human reason shall have passed away. All things shall be made new under the power of habitual good established within the seeking heart as the kingdom of heaven, which is even now within you!

     Ask what thou wilt and my Father will give it thee. Call to me, and I will answer you.

     Lovingly, I AM

Jesus the Christ
