Vacant is that consciousness unaware of the triune Essence of Immortality which contains the Universe. Balance is required in Man, for Balance is the Nature of God! The fleur-de-lis of Beloved Saint Germain symbolizes the balancing action of the triune Radiance of the Love, Wisdom, and Power of the Godhead. This wondrous Focus represents the Holy Christ Flame which is never out of the proportion of Perfection. Man's struggle for understanding is needless, for the balancing of the Threefold Flame within his own world opens the door to understanding, happiness, and peace. This balancing action is the opportunity offered, as it has always been, to mankind - but in an intensified way this year. With the release in the Grand Teton Conference on New Year's Eve of the thought-form for the Year 1963, mankind were given a very special action of the Cosmic and Ascended Masters Who are together bending every effort to secure real progress in Man, individually, and in the entire planetary order. That specific action is one of greater Balance in preparation for the coming changes and the stepped-up vibratory action first released in mighty power during the early Golden Age preparations. The thought-form for 1963 consists of three stars whose Radiance merges into one. The foundation is a blue star; superimposed upon it is a yellow star, and the pink star of Love is upon the yellow in the foreground - as close as the Love of God. These three overlap in a radiant Oneness and from their center Beloved Mighty Victory's Golden "V" rays out to the four cardinal points of the compass in a set of four two-pronged secret rays - these "V's" form the Roman numeral ten (X) posed upright and sideways. The outline of Beloved Saint Germain's Maltese Cross may also be visualized in the formation of these four rays. I AM told that the delays which occurred in the release of Beloved El Morya's Encyclical shall soon be terminated and that the Star of Brotherhood and Understanding, which at times has been dimly perceived by many an anxious heart, shall bring mounting courage and herald a day of Unity unparalleled upon Earth. Hasten Thee this day, O God of Love! The first requisite to Spiritual Understanding, of course, is the willingness to release the finite self from the hampering ties of allegiance to dead ritual and the straw image which, like a scarecrow, has kept the spectre of war and fear hovering over the White Fields of spiritual harvest - lest the Angels of Deliverance should set men Free! There is a parallel between individual Freedom from tyranny and the precious Liberty sought by the nations of the world for the blessed people thereof. To speed the day of deliverance, the battle for the minds and hearts of men must continue on all fronts until all men and nations are Free. The Beloved Lady of Heaven, Mother Mary, has kindly consented to act with Beloved El Morya to render a very wonderful Service to the students of the Spiritual Law released by The Great White Brotherhood through the Summit teachings. The purpose of this Service shall be to band them together and anchor their worlds in those Spiritual Values which are sterling in character and represent the very Nature of GOD IN ACTION! Those individuals who are ignorant of the Law may not only hold themselves back, but as they extend that error - base idolatry or worship of the transitory self into action among men, they also pervert the very purposes of Life upon Earth and maintain such a state of confusion as to decry progress. Spiritual aspirants cannot afford to follow the mass consciousness with its stultified ideas which have not enabled the Earth Star to Ascend in progress. They must, in honor, prefer the Christ both in one another and in themselves. Recalcitrant energies which have held men in bondage for so long have not ignored the righteous nor the seeker for Divinity. Often the snares of violent energies have encamped about the Lord's own Fields, seeking some weakness of breech through which to rush. This very year We of The Great White Lodge at Shamballa are dedicating Ourselves to the purpose of UNITY. This shall be manifest through the emulation of the Universal and Individual Victory over past error by the active Power of Love, guided by Wisdom, charged with that Power of God that overcomes the world's thought of error. Above all, may I admonish you not to personalize evil or "cast out" some individual in the role of serpent. Remember, the difference between the King's Son and the wandering mendicant is often no more than a thought within the heart! Certainly the distinction is not in outer raiment or evaluations. Yet the Crest Jewel of Discrimination, the Summit Wisdom that pours forth from the Ascended Masters and Christ-illumined intelligences of this lovely Sphere must be heeded. Too frequently individuals merely copy or imitate, as did the magicians at the court of Egypt in Moses' day; these cast down their rods saying, "See, we do the same thing." Those without skillful inner spiritual discernment may not see at first the essential difference in those who profess to be exalted channels of Our Radiance. These people may gaze at words alone and not detect the perfumed Radiance of the Ascended Masters - Those Whose every thought is the Will of God expressing the Wisdom of God and being the Love of God IN ACTION. Next week Beloved El Morya and Mother Mary shall reveal some of Their already postulated plans for the redemption, first, of the students of The Great White Brotherhood's teachings, in a wonderful fashion through the utilization of a common exercise of FAITH. This should stir everyone connected with this Activity for the next eight weeks during which Beloved Mother Mary and El Morya will direct a special concentration of Ascended Master Light and Love in preparation for further fulfilling Our Plan for the year. This We shall do gradually and many blessings are in store for the alert. "I AM" charged with HOPE! May the Beauty of each morning steal into your Heart with the warmth and Radiance of the Beloved One for His Beloved. "I AM" living in your Light, GAUTAMA, LORD OF THE WORLD ****** Chapter 2 Beloved El Morya and Mother Mary - January 11, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 2 - Beloved El Morya and Mother Mary - January 11, 1963 With the advent of Hope that the New Year brings, We advocate the harnessing of every ounce of pure Energy, the renewing of ancient covenants of honor and diligence, and the unfoldment of a supreme sense of oneness with Life! Our furrows must be plowed into the land with depth, the overturned earth must be freshly charged with the magnetism of the Spirit and that vitality which comprehends the Cosmic Push. How else shall the intelligent Elementals carry out the assigned Purpose - how else shall men lovingly coordinate with one another unless the magnetic pull, straight from God's Heart, elevate the substance of Immortality within the upright shaft of men's consciousness! Beloved Mother Mary, embodying as She does the Infinite Love of the Mother of the World, has accepted the responsibility with Me of undertaking a Service of directed prayer in a measure of concentration hitherto not even contemplated by mankind. It is Our wish to approach this program with the very thought of absolute success. She has insisted that I provide the first word; hence, while I offered to stand by while She sounded forth the keynote, She has lovingly asked in the sweetest way imaginable that I do the honors. This I do and praise the Blessed Lifestream that She is for Her indomitable Will to help every one of Heaven's Sons, including the many not yet aware of the Heavenly Nature, to the fullness of the Love of God in tangible, manifest action. To heed Her words, to take them to heart, is the very best part of wisdom, but it is not the words alone or even the instruction which is so magnificent, it is above all the blessing of Her wonderful momentum of the IMMACULATE CONCEPT which She has held and holds for every Son and Daughter of God. Her radiant Energy alone is enough, if harnessed, to Ascend each life stream that receives It and utilizes Its effulgence back to the Heart of God on the living beams of Its focused Purity. Beloved Mother Mary For centuries lamentations on the lack of world unity have troubled the hearts of men. Mounting criticism has even dared to attempt the defilement of the Immortal Image of God. Certainly the spoilers, whose perceptions are so finite, have never taken care to practice discrimination as to whom they made a target. Did they not use My Son as a gazingstalk? When no other was available, these have practiced self-condemnation and by this means they have weakened the bulwarks of Faith and Love in their own blessed orbit. It is My solemn wish this year to bring about a great freeing action for mankind. I have wished to do this for the whole world; but I AM, in perceptive wisdom, beginning with those precious lifestreams who understand The Great White Brotherhood's teachings in part and shall willingly offer themselves as co-servers with Us in redeeming the priceless energies of Life too often snared in the weak concepts of error within the minds and feelings of men. Beloved mankind of Earth, the true power of prayer has seldom been understood correctly for many reasons. First, men frequently know not what to ask for. Secondly, they do not maintain a sense of achievement when practicing the blessed act. When true prayer is utilized it is a chaliced offering to the very Heart of Heaven. Each word and petition, like a snowy white dove of Light, wings its way to the Heart of God. There it evokes the Fiery Light Rays of Divine Action which take infinite command of finite energies. The call always compels the answer and the answer descends to abide in the world of form, either accelerated or retarded according to mankind's acceptance or rejection of the outpouring answer. The words, "Not my will but Thine be done," are the exact fiat used by My Blessed Son Jesus in overcoming in advance the possibility of any human rejection of the answer of Heaven. It is no surrender of Hope, Beloved Ones, to submit yourselves thusly in a trusting manner to the infinite Wisdom of God. It is the radiance of true valor that chooses to honor God's Mind. Let us, then, for the next eight weeks dedicate ourselves to a Spiritual Novena of universal dimensions. Let us recognize some of the qualities of Christly character which need expansion and externalization among our chelas. Let us bypass the elements of negation and reinforce the positive qualities of Life in an automatic transmutation of all that is less than the pure Christ Energy. A preparatory treatment of negative conditions is permissible in order to clear the Altar of the dust of atmospheric contamination. The vacuum thus effected will not remain for long, however, upon the Blessed Ones, for in each one's consciousness, We will place there the best gifts for all the years to come - for an eternity of inhabitance in the world of Christ, the Son of all Light! The first object of our attention shall be the self. Blessed Ones, multitudes who are conscious of their own mistakes practice forms of self-condemnation which sometimes result in states of inflated egoism, intractability, and human unkindness. It is actually a struggle, Blessed Ones, for your brethren who seek human recognition for their achievements and then lament the gap between their aspirations and current achievements. Sometimes they fall into a tomb of materialism and blame Life for their shortcomings, limiting their censure to those whom they contact but deferring self-condemnation until those quiet moments of taking stock when they wrongly assess an excess of error in themselves and remain enthralled by feelings of despair, fear and torment - al self-imposed. This needless slaughter of Divine Opportunity may be washed away in a moment by a torrent of Divine Love through the recognition of God's Plan for each lifestream as the outpicturing of that Perfection at hand which, hour after hour, shines unto a more perfect day, appearing little by little until the unfolded radiance is altogether dauntless! Let everyone who loves The Great White Brotherhood and desires to serve with Me in this vigil of the New Year unite at the appointed hour designated by El Morya to call for the manifestation within all connected with The Brotherhood of the specific qualities We outline during the coming eight weeks. First We shall ask for the strengthening of FAITH within every one of Our students of the Light - not a strengthening of ordinary Faith, but specifically that Faith in God within that expands the Perfect Plan and wipes away every past mistake by forgiveness, enfolding the Perfection of each lifestream about him as a garment so saturated with Divine Love and Forgiveness enthroned upon an Altar of invulnerable Faith that the God in him shall not fail to make him Victorious in all he does! May the Love of God envelop you and seal you in His Radiance of Eternal Faith. - "I AM" MOTHER MARY Beloved El Morya At 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time, 6:00 p.m. Central Time, 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time and 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time, prayers for every reader of The Pearls of Wisdom and Studies in Alchemy and for every Keeper of the Flame shall be offered in a spirit of Pure Oneness. This week's effort shall be directed to increasing FAITH in God's Power within to take command and restore Victorious Harmony to all the Earth! EL MORYA ****** Chapter 3 Beloved El Morya and Mother Mary - January 18, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 3 - Beloved El Morya and Mother Mary - January 18, 1963 The finest achievements are forged in Hope! How loveless would the world seem without the simulated glory of Hope, for even an imitation of Hope is better than no hope at all. Cherish, then, the hopes of men; but adore above all the Hope of God. From this Hope is born the Reality from which is loomed the Eternal Perfection of the Most High from out the Great Central Sun. Beloved Ones whose services wind the mainsprings of Cosmic Endeavors among men, consider how marvelously one open door functions to enable the wonders of the future to be established in advance of the preordained date, thus shortening men's days of torment and blessing all mankind. Think of what blessings men already have in labor-saving devices which enable the wise to utilize the Radiance of the eternal hours in obtaining more of Heaven's Culture and Grace. The Individual, as an expression of good will among men, must not permit himself to be defamed or defiled by old ruts. By striving into the future, men eliminate the nests of ancient vultures whose eggs must not be permitted to hatch. The reins of reason - of Divine Reason - must be summoned and invoked as God-control over the magnificence of the future expanding from the dawn of today. Beloved Ones, mañana never comes with the hopeful, sweet vitality of blessedness except someone cherish the cup and guard the chaliced present. Of Hope I AM certain the world is at times bereft. Let It pour forth upon the Earth now in torrents. Let us diligently provide new avenues of Spiritual Adventure - not in some half-baked fantasy, but established out of the internal magnificence of the Sacred Fire! Throughout the world many hands of striving reach for Hope as for the Bread of Life. Let us, then, extend to Man a new and providential outpouring to stimulate the expansion of Maitreya's Banner until the Earth is covered with the Radiance of the Cosmic Christ. How shall Buddha, Mohammed, Saint Teresa, or the World Teachers prevail upon Man except by the Universal Concepts which transcend the narrowness of creed and person and exchange the tiny stream of presently realized glory for the snowy mantle of Cosmic Energy of the All-Christ? I AM invoking the best symbols, the Word becoming flesh as It outpictures through your Life the indomitable Victory of God among men. The wings of Victory soar through the consciousness; the crashing of the passing hour's beats the cymbals of forever, and the music of God's Harmony pervades the streaming Energy of today. So is Life established in the microcosm below as in the ethereal Perfection of the macrocosm above. Old things are passed away. Behold, all things become new in the Heart of your own Beloved "I AM" Presence. Hope, expand everywhere, for You are one of the three greatest blessings God has given to Man in order to draw into perfect balance the Threefold Flame of Love, Wisdom,and Power as Faith, Hope, and Charity! The Way ye know, for "I AM" the Way! EL MORYA Beloved Mother Mary Redeem your wasted conceptions formed in past ignorance of the perfect Law of Love. Establish a shrine of Truth wherever a tree of error has been wrongly planted. Accept the blessedness of Hope as a tangible Flame from the Heart of God, charged with the Divine Reality of Life and the Power to inspire men to love the right use of Opportunity. Many sincere students have longed to speak to Me in person or to hear the words of My lips, as did the three holy children at Fátima; yet the former, in their limiting concepts, have not made it possible for Me to speak directly to them because of the veil of illusion which they have so often strengthened daily. Beloved Ones, My Son so clearly stated the Law when He said, "Men do not gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles" (Matt. 7:16). So long as you imbibe from the world's fountain of partial truth, so long as you accept the verdict of the "hopeless" world, so long shall you feel the prick of thorny thistles and lament the blight of a fruitless harvest. Men must plant the positive virtue of God's own Hope daily if they would reap the fertile magnetism of Hope's Divine Concept! Surely, unless men reach into the Vineyard where the arbors of loveliness burgeon with natural fruit, they shall aimlessly encounter the erratic manifestation of sorrow mixed with fleeting joy. The Law cannot be broken, and yet many are not content to wait until the fullness of the time is come wherein the manifestation of desire occurs quite naturally. These ones become easily discouraged and weary in well doing. Let not your hearts be so troubled, Blessed Ones; your very belief in God is a Hope in itself and when that belief is magnified into a wonderful Faith, it is the LIVING POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION TO EVERYONE THAT BELIEVETH! Hope plays the better part, for It sustains the action of God's Power until the power of manifestation is released by the LOVE Ray - encouragement first becomes COURAGE and then the catalyst which releases into manifestation the Power of the Three times Three! Every word I speak here may not be understood by all at first, but I AM giving something for everyone, that the Lambs of God be fed, led beside the still waters and restored to the wonderful sense of Reality which always knows that Life is a Divine Intent, Purposed Reality at Its best. There shall they perceive that by the blessedness of Free Will all can rise to the equality estate of Divine Sonship under the shining wings of Almighty Righteousness. I shall appear this week manifesting as Hope in the waiting Hearts of men and I hope that you shall join Me in doing likewise. Men need the stimulation of renewed hopefulness and waiting upon the Perfection of God's Love to become a Reality within them, because they adorn that Reality with the Golden Perception of their Christ-Illumined minds. Let all unite in prayer that the Power of Hope be magnified without limit around the whole world and especially among the servers of the Light until Our cherished plans begin to take more wondrous form and the Temple of Light rises to enshrine the Hearts of men in one Hope. Peace be unto you. Lovingly "I AM" MOTHER MARY ****** Chapter 4 Beloved El Morya and Mother Mary - January 25, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 4 - Beloved El Morya and Mother Mary - January 25, 1963 The crystal clear Radiance of Charity enlivens all her lovers with the pink delight of Eternity. While temporal values fade and vanish, LOVE, as St. Paul declared of old, remains. After all, was it not LOVE that framed the worlds? Men of destiny, it is the eternal God-Intent to place within this Golden Frame of Reality, your Identity, the PERFECT PICTURE of Eternal Beauty and Loveliness! Men of the First Ray are depicted as somewhat harsh guardians whose power is abused in dominant ruling. Let Me enlighten all men with God's Immortal Law of Balance. When action is in balance, the Threefold Flame of Love, Wisdom, and Power draws from the White Fire Core, which contains all the colors of the spectrum, the required Love and Wisdom to make of the spearhead of Power a scalpel of Mercy! This instrument of Mercy then penetrates unwanted substance and mercifully cuts away the undesirable facets of human nature which have not responded to the ministrations of the Sacred Fire invoked by unascended mankind. The Quality of Mercy brings the blessedness of Freedom to that body of remaining substance, which then becomes amenable to the progressive action of the Holy Spirit as the blessed, eternal, Living Truth of God unveils the radiant wholeness of the Divine Man in all. I AM constantly made aware of the need for LOVE to be the cement of constancy which holds together the bricks of individual servers and makes of the whole a wall of invulnerability against the tyrannical, discordant, and erratic attacks of human fear and hate creations. The Power of God unto salvation becomes victorious in Man through the Power of LOVE Itself. Unless the response to God's Love is equalized according to the individual's capacity to respond, other forces of misqualified energy may enclose the student and rush in with the blindness of shadow, falsely rationalized as righteousness, which can never equal the VICTORY OF TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS IN ACTION! Men must clarify Truth for themselves through the Purity of their own Divine Presence, the Mighty Inrushing "I AM" Presence, Whose Radiance pours through the silver cord as the snowy Light of Eternal LOVE seeking expression in Man's own octave. Let men be alert and awake, for as long as they are competitive, ego-centered, and move in the mainstream of old human momentums, they cannot express the fullness of the LOVE and Perfection God intends. Candidates for Heaven ought to be the near PERFECT examples, which men of lesser capacity seem to require in order to give them the stimulation of confidence in an invisible Deity, Whose very Life they use moment by moment. LOVE is encouraging and strengthening. So few understand themselves to be products of Divine Love and they seem to prefer the synthetic and ephemeral aspects of human values. Those mundane value's have been paraded on the screen of history for millenniums without significantly altering the mass consciousness. The Magnetism of Divine LOVE inrushing to the Heart Center of a Christed Being is accepted and adored, magnified and assimilated, until it goes forth amplified with God's Intent as healing, understanding service among men. Each such a server of the Eternal Cause makes his imprint upon the sands of time, and the gradual ascent becomes a trek to the untrammeled heights of Victory. Yet the dwellers below are ever in the thoughts of the Ascended Masters, Who have pledged to set them Free! Every advanced chela who longs to walk and talk with Us personally ought to know that the surest way of being invited to do so lies in following Our admonishments. Remember, We do not invite the merely curious or investigative to sit by our fireside, who probe the Universe in order to tell of their adventures. We welcome those whose Hope in God is as pure as their inward Spirit. These seek diligently for a good they already know exists and in which they believe - HOPE for and as ETERNAL CHRIST CHARITY: This seek to achieve in action! The sum total of an existence dedicated to Eternal Reality is God. The lesser values do not die; they are simply exchanged for more realistic and eternal purposes. The same is true of Wisdom and Faith, for when Wisdom obtains access to the fountainhead of all knowledge and applies that knowledge, it has accomplished Its purposes in form and ascends into the Intelligence that framed It. When FAITH obtains the welcome boon of SIGHT, It has exchanged its compassed route for a journey's end - chart and navigation are then unnecessary. So long as men require guidance and aid, We stand ready to communicate. The Pearls of Wisdom are presently employed as a means of uniting hearts to invoke from the Godhead the best spiritual gifts. The GIFT OF LOVE as God knows LOVE is the best Gift of all. And so, let us seek that LOVE of God for one another as a fulfilled FAITH that removes mountains of adversity and adorns the plan with its shining Perfection. EL MORYA Beloved Mother Mary How complete is Light. No darkness is in It! How perfect is LOVE, only God is in It! How wonderful is Life, shining with the Sun of Righteousness. As We gaze at the shining splendor of Eternal Reality, as We abide in the blessedness of Immortality, how We long to raise the consciousness of all men into the breathing awareness of Eternal Truth! Beloved Raphael, My Precious Consort, has again and again asked the Great Cosmic Light for a dispensation whereby I might offer more assistance to mankind to accelerate their awareness of Pure Truth, cut wholly free from the musty concepts of the ages. The riverbeds of human thought are cut deeply into the granite of history and memory; the feelings, vain and noble, flow through their appointed channels of human thought and emotion. To alter ideas deeply engrained within men is not even the province of God, Who ordained men with free will, nor does this task rest in the initiative of an Ascended Being or an unascended server. Yet the alteration can be achieved, for the longings of men's hearts are for Pure Truth and they shall ultimately open the door themselves. Long does the journey seem back to God's Heart for the confused and struggling masses, yet We must all relate Our Hopes for them to the Eternal Wisdom of God Who endowed men with Free Will and permitted the seeming struggles of Life in order to crown men with a more perfect attainment of Selfhood. The masterpiece of Divine Creation that is Man must be given opportunity to find by seeking, to learn by doing, and to reach up by hoping. The Cosmic Councils, which did not grant every appeal of My Blessed Raphael, pointed out the cosmic history of other evolutions as proof of the Victorious Life when they were permitted the Freedom to find their way - sometimes by losing It. My Son declared that he who seeks to save his Life shall lose It and he who loses It for My sake or the Kingdom of Heaven's sake shall find It again. Nothing is ever truly lost, but much can be needlessly delayed. Beloved Ones, it is by LOVING, by truly LOVING, that men find their Life again. When the night is darkest, when the way seems loneliest, when the mistakes of a lifetime seem to be the plagues of Heavenly wrath, BE NOT DISMAYED! Be of good cheer under the most adverse circumstance, for the LOVE of God shatters the thought forms of human creation and endows men with a unifying action that makes each achievement of another a VICTORY for Self. Every task well done is a step toward Heaven for all men, and the LOVE that served those of Us now Ascended will sustain you for your shining hour - if you will keep the FAITH, HOPE, AND CHARITY that expands the Threefold Flame of LOVE, WISDOM AND POWER within you until all of your thoughts, energies, and aspirations are lifted up in your blessed eyes, which search the eternal hills of knowing only for GOOD. May LOVE be expanded without limit this week in all LIFE! Your Mother, MARY ****** Chapter 5 Beloved El Morya and Mother Mary - February 1, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 5 - Beloved El Morya and Mother Mary - February 1, 1963 El Morya: The heart is ever warmed by friendship when that friendship is sincere, kindly, and constant. Men need the sustaining blessing of spiritual friendship, whether they think they do or not. It is a generic statement found in the first book of the Pentateuch: "It is not good that man should be alone" (Gen. 2:18). The Beloved Master Jesus said, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13). The story of Damon and Pythias historically records the meaning of great friendship. We are the Friends of all those who revere God's Will, Intelligence, and Loving Presence. Yet, the encouragement of spiritual friendship between unascended beings is a method of magnifying Divine Love among men and assisting thereby the expansion of the Kingdom of Heaven upon Earth. Surely men and women ought to be made aware of the need to keep their friendships on a spiritual basis so that entangling alliances are not formed to strangle the noble aspects of the Soul's progressive journey into Reality. I AM certain that the media of true friendship need not expose the individual, who offers his loving attention, to the repulse of cruel and egocentric individuals who will spurn the proffered offering as a method of bolstering a sagging ego. But if such exposure occurs, it need not be a drag upon the energies and feelings as long as individuals are aware of the treachery of the carnal mind, without personalizing its vibrations. Keep yourself free as you offer your friendship by calling unto the Friend of all friends, God, to seal your offer of friendly assistance in the loving Protection of His own Great Heart Flame of Cosmic Friendship. Needless to say, spiritual friendship can be above all human idiosyncrasies and idolatry; and it is then spiritual indeed. Harmony, natural appreciation, study of the Great Cosmic Law, mutual prayer pacts, and service rendered jointly to others are invaluable in expanding the Light within the Souls of men. Facing the problems of the world together is often easier than going it alone. Therefore, I AM strongly advocating that Our chelas take "under their wings" one or more individuals with whom they can Journey along the road that leads to their mutual Freedom. The only danger here lies in "cliques" whereby competition and false protection is exercised, contrary to the Law of Love and playing one spiritual team against another. Each inter-group relationship should be based on Ascended Master Friendship which always serves first for the good of all and then the group, lastly for the personal self. Returning to the idea of true friendship and how successful it can make and keep any endeavor, I want to indicate that friendship can be marital between husband and wife, lovers seeking the most Beloved ONE of all, between brothers and sisters, spiritual companions, and between neighbors and casual acquaintances. This true friendship, like any endeavor, must be nourished by some attention, planted, watered, cared for and harvested. Every possible embellishment is permissible as long as the Great Law of Love and kindness is satisfied and the words, "Thou shalt love the Lord Thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength ... and thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself," are remembered (Mark 12:30,31). I wish now that all might expand the bonds of divine friendship in winning many to the Light of the Ascended Masters. May you maintain full Protection for your efforts by skillfully consulting your Own Beloved Holy Christ Self and Mighty "I AM" God Presence as you pursue the Path of Spiritual Discipleship and Friendship with God and Man 'neath the skies of Heaven and the bounds of time. Eternal blessings, "I AM" EL MORYA Beloved Mother Mary How beautiful is the pathway that leads to spiritual Knighthood. I recall well the record of the search for the Holy Grail, for truly many of Us participated both at inner and outer levels in this magnificent pageant and drama of the fullness of Divine Manhood. Chivalry is not dead today, as every VIRTUE IS DIVINE and retains the permanent charge placed there by God's own Hand. Appearances so belie the Mighty Truth of Life in the human octave, and yet, in the stillness of the Silence within the blessed hearts of men, the Voice of God speaks in accents strong, amplifying every virtue there. It is out of the Virtues of God within men that the substance of spiritual friendship is drawn, magnetized into tiny threads of service at first and then woven into magnificent garments of Light. How beautiful then is the bond of this friendship, and what wonderful acts can be performed by those who renew the ancient covenants of true Brotherhood. Christianity was made a force for service to the Earth by means of the early Christian Bond, composed of the blessed teachings and practices instituted by My Son, Jesus, and adhered to in Christly charity by our early practitioners of Christian wisdom. Today, after two thousand years, the simple and basic truths of the Great Cosmic Law taught in the Christian mysteries are covered over by a layer of dark cloth woven of human concepts and mental turmoils whose perversions of the Divine Way are legion. A return to the simple ritual of pure friendship, unconditioned by expectation of human reward, will obtain for everyone that divine abundance which is mankind's natural birthright. All things in Heaven and Earth are given into the hand of the MANifestation of GOD, and without God there is not and cannot be permanent manifestation! Seldom do men pause to realize that Love must have an object upon which to lavish Its affection. Too many blindly idolize themselves and merely project this image to another without ever knowing the depth of the precious Christly wisdom which may be enclosed within the heart of a friend. The safety of Life is, as Saint Germain has declared, "in the Great Attention of mankind upon their Source." When friendship is made the object of increasing the flow of sustained Christ Radiance, many men will have the transfiguring experiences upon the mountaintop. The Summit of Divine Friendship will unite the Peter's and the John's, but it will also magnetize the Love of Ascended Beings such as Moses and Elias. Thus will the garments of men be whitened into Purity by the terrific and internal Magnificence of Friendship with God in Man. I remain the advocate of Holy Family Unity, Spiritual Brotherhood, and Compassionate Intercession. Your Mother, MARY ****** Chapter 6 Beloved El Morya and Mother Mary - February 8, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 6 - Beloved El Morya and Mother Mary - February 8, 1963 El Morya: The wonders of Love transform the most savage intent, purify motives, exalt action and manifest ultimate Mastership for all those whose Hearts' "open door" makes possible the powerful inflowing tide of Heavenly Transformation. "I AM" constantly alert to the Mighty God Power of Change, which sweetly, powerfully, and joyously enters into the stillness of the human heart to tame vicious human propensities and to ordain man in the use of those expanding qualities which radiate from the Heart of God and which are innumerable, wonderful, and awe-inspiring. Those Who have the power to read the karmic record of a lifestream and thus to clearly determine the progress of each individual are able to perceive the marvelous effects of the Spirit of Life when active in man - called into action by the released pressure of mankind's own willing acceptance of the transmuting graces of Heaven. Let no one suppose that the Great Masters Who serve mankind through the many avenues of The Great White Brotherhood ever interfere with the "free will" of man. Even when man is ignorant, We do not do so, except to the extent of warning, in some cases challenging, and in a few special cases, where the Protection of God's endeavors is concerned, taking militant direct counteraction for the sake of humanity and the preservation of Freedom. The latter was done, for example, by Beloved Saint Germain when He warned a certain military officer of the consequences which would ensue were he to take a specific contemplated action against America. Saint Germain had the interest and protection of millions of Freedom-loving American people in mind when He took this permissible step to interfere with this questionable use of free will by this individual who was a tool of sinister energies. You see, Beloved Ones, there is an automatic Power of Protection which the Light gives to every chela of the Sacred Fire whose pure Heart seeks only to serve the Cause of Liberty and to revere the purposes of an Infinite God. Let no one fancy himself outside the bounds of the Law, "free" to go on indefinitely acting in a destructive manner without the firm Hand of Heaven eventually staying that destructive action which uses him. Students should recognize that unascended beings are frequently at war with themselves in the sense that human momentums come to grips with Divine Purposes directly within the forcefield of their own identity (See Gen. 32:24-30). As in the case of Jacob who warred with his lower nature and attained thereby a greater realization of his true Selfhood (IS-REAL), so it is inevitable that change occur as the result of the struggle to be God-like, for the personal status quo cannot remain static through the "Peniel" experience. Like a tug of war, there is a to-and-fro motion; one side may pull man over the line for a while and then the other. Sincere disciples cannot be distressed by the seemingly endless struggle. In calm determination, see the Victory of all Good within your worlds over every lesser momentum, known or unknown, within or without! Do not sense struggle, but maintain PEACE! The Peace you sense must be the Peace of exaltation which knows - as does an elevator operator who watches the lights indicating the passing floors - that you are going UP! If the opposite be the case, men must push the emergency button to invoke the Light of God that does not fail and reverse their course by Christ Command until the necessary change is underway once again. The feeling of satisfaction is good concerning a deed well done, but it must be ever borne in mind that the "hum" of the Universe, the "music of the spheres", and the constant outpouring of Love and Light from the Great Central Sun to the entire Cosmos indicates a never-ending, ceaseless stream of intelligently organized and serviceable energy, called into action to build, construct, vivify, heal and illumine mankind by and through the Ascended Masters, the emissaries of God's Divine Wisdom. Men must be willing to accept necessary changes above temporary satisfactions and, in a never-ending search, widen their horizons through God's Illumination, directly perceived by the exalted thoughts and meditations of their own hearts! The character of another may be admired, even the change of another's history may be emulated, but there is no substitute for the vital action of the Holy Spirit in changing in man all that requires change and polishing in him all that needs a higher lustre, with the full brightness of TRANSMUTATIVE LOVE. The years, like a caravan, roll onward. Some have journeyed long and some find the sights and sounds of passing, alluring to their senses. Let all find inward delight in the Power of God to CHANGE man and to raise every Son into that Captive Freedom where the Will of God that beckons men onward is revered. The consummation of human history is the rolling up of the Scroll of the First Heaven and the First Earth (Rev. 21:1) and the birth or awakened conscious knowing of the Divine Man already existent within the thought matrix of God. The essence of the Soul of the Divine Man is the Divine Sense which reveals Truth to men as God in action within their thoughts and feelings. This Divine Gnosis is the brightness of the Soul, the perfume of the Heavenly Rose, arisen once again to see Him The God Self -as He really is! (I John 3:1-3) "I AM" the constant Server of the Divine Intent made manifest in you as God's Will. It is my fervent wish this week to see the Power of Light effect CHANGE and TRANSMUTATION wherever needed, that God's Will may be done upon Earth even as it is in Heaven. Grateful "I AM" to serve you, EL MORYA Beloved Mother Mary: It was a delightful day whenever I noted some particular God-Quality which I wished to manifest in the boy Jesus blossoming in full flower within His gifted world. O, I knew full well that the buds were there, that the Flame upon his Heart's altar was kindled from on High, and that He willed to do whatever would be revealed to Him as the Father's Will. Yet, I could not escape delight in seeing the unfoldment of each tiny change, effectively readying Him for the arduous days ahead. Likewise, I wait with patience and love the unfoldment of that wonderful Life Radiance that beats your Hearts, O Chelas of The Brotherhood Sublime; I wait for each one, I wait for all men to be as Free as Beloved Jesus became. I hold for all Life the Sacred Immaculate Concept. The Eternal Momentums externalized by God Beings Who have entered the world of form in like manner to all humanity, only to overcome all human tendencies by God's Power to Change, are still available to mankind because these Eternal Momentums, once externalized, remain forever within the reach of those who follow in Their footsteps. Men and women today can have the gracious and unlimited assistance which We once manifested in Our personal journeys toward attainment. This, Our Grace, We freely give to those who ask it. Dear Hearts, We dwell and abide within the Heart of Perfection and can draw unlimited quantities of Universal Love directly from God; but the Mighty Momentums We have already drawn forth in Our long journeys toward the Ascension is made available today to those who seek to tread the same Path We once walked. How willing We are to share these blessings with you can be easily determined if you will but persist in asking Us for the use of this Mighty Spiritual Reservoir until you become wholly aware that your own Beings have contacted the Radiance We pour forth instantly when called upon. The realization of this action may be quickly noted by many, but it does flow forth to all men, even to those not yet awakened who still have Faith and Hope enough to make the call. Beloved El Morya, Our Knight Champion of old,{1} whose knights of the "round table" sought to express in that cycle the balance of Divine Equality, joins Me in ordered service to amplify the Power of TRANSFIGURING CHANGE upon the mountaintops of Spiritual Seeking throughout the coming week. May the Illumined Spirit of the Loving Christ girdle the globe around with transfiguring Light! Graciously, "I AM" MOTHER MARY ****** Chapter 7 Beloved El Morya and Mother Mary - February 15, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 7 - Beloved El Morya and Mother Mary - February 15, 1963 Brotherhood is manifest in the twining of human energies around the Heart of God, fired into shining bands of Golden Understanding and forged by Illumination's Golden Flame. Brotherhood: How like a mirage you have seemed to men! Whatever the attitudes which have divided men in the past, these will continue to divide them until a higher state of attunement with God, Self, and Man is reached. As a caterpillar sheds its cocoon, so must men leave behind outgrown encumbrances and divisive factors. It is not sufficient for a few good men to champion the Causes of Brotherhood, albeit Heaven knows their energies are needed! The garlands of the Spiritual Principle of Brotherhood must be cherished by all nations, by all people, and actively honored by men of every organized religion. It was due to the lack of Christian Brotherhood in action that communism was spawned upon the world scene. It will be the institution of a genuine and penetrating Faith that crosses the lines of religious idealism, dogma, creed and class distinction which will prove to be the universally needed solvent to vitalize and magnify the expansion of World Brotherhood. Problems facing the world community are identical to those which challenge city and state governments, although chauvinism and separatism are magnified and more complicated in the larger community. The world scene is also blighted by areas of superstition and ignorance, whose taboos hinder progress and impede the establishment of wells of understanding. To launch a spiritual attack against impersonal, entrenched divisions is permissible through the effort of united prayer to exalt once again the original Spirit of Christian Brotherhood. It is for this service that We look to the Chelas of The Great Brotherhood at the seven o'clock (EST) vigil during the coming week. Men must always guard against personalizing their own conduct or accepting as personal the wrong behavior of another. Beloved Ones, many people who possess little conscious understanding of their own tendencies to use a "defense mechanism" to preserve their cherished human citadel nevertheless resort to such old psychological defenses which have been the forte of the crafty for centuries. Among their ruses is the process of "assumption" whereby they anticipate a negative response and, in the very act of repelling it, they determine, by another's reaction, whether or not the defense was really needed at all. An example may be drawn from life in the attitude of those who stand with a "chip on their shoulder" ready to rise in behalf of some zealously guarded personal belief or idiosyncrasy. When their challenge is accepted they think their belligerence was justifiable in the first place. When their harshness is repelled with the "soft answer that turneth away wrath" (Prov. 15:l), they often become most conciliatory. Their sole purpose was a method of determining another's thoughts or course of action for or against what they have conceived as their identity and set up as the law of their sphere of influence. When men pick up every gauntlet that is cast down, whether thoughtlessly or intentionally, they frequently close the door against understanding and true Brotherhood. At moments calling for quick decision and Ascended Master God-Control, it is well to remember the Psalmist's words: "Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain" (Ps. 76:10). While all such factors of human nature may be understood by the illumined Chela, the Faith of that Chela must ever stand in the Radiance of that Brotherhood, which flows from the Unity of the Presence of God in Life rather than from mere human idealism. The idols of men and kings have often led mankind astray, for all standards set by human idealism rather than by Divine Ideals engender the necessity to judge in order to sustain the "right" action of those personal and limiting concepts of what "ought" and "ought not" to be. When judgment is exercised, whether righteously or erroneously, it often is symptomatic of the following complex human equation: Most men presently in embodiment have been victims, in either the present or the past, of some degree of personal sin or error of omission or commission. Honest men find it difficult to speak out as strongly as they might against the error of those who are performing the same mistakes they themselves have made in the past. Dishonest men take full advantage of the lofty post of Judge in order to sit in the "seat of the scornful" while lifting themselves by unjust human imagination to a false position which will one day be righted by the tipping of the Karmic Scales into balance. The truly wise leave all Judgment to God and pursue Brotherhood as a Spiritual Ideal, ever holding the concept of Discipleship and the Ascension into Perfection, while keeping the door to true Brotherhood open. Such as these compassionately recognize all men as climbing step by step the rungs of the ladder of attainment and, although they may dwell temporarily upon the different heights to which they have attained, the wise foretell the Day of their ultimate Victory above the stages and steps of all human concepts and hold for their brother-pilgrims the Immaculate Concept of Perfect Christ Discrimination. The Brotherhood of Man, when under the Fatherhood of God, is a true rock of Gibraltar to the Planet Earth. All that betrays this Brotherhood is each man's own betrayer; all that aids this Brotherhood is cooperative Love for the Saviour of the world. "Lord, when saw I thee an hungered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw I thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? When saw I thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? ... Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me" (Matt. 25:37-40). Vondir, Champions of Right! EL MORYA Beloved Mother Mary Human concepts have been long in developing and, once developed, they have been rigidly perpetuated. Each succeeding generation carries forward the "torch" of human custom and knowledge by feeding them with their attention. It is wonderful then that the state of the world, such as it is, remains as good as it is. Notwithstanding, Beloved Ones, Life can be better, O so much better, and few who read this can imagine - even in their extended imaginations - just how glorious all things can really be. Yet the present needs of the world must be met in the Holy Name of Progress! Were the whole world to face a famine, pestilence, or a natural catastrophe, the hearts, heads and hands of the planet would stand together, shoulder to shoulder in mutual defense of all untoward conditions. When such problems would be met and dissipated, men would quickly forget their Unity and return to old animosities. Why is this so true? Beloved Ones, men suffer mainly from aloneness and a feeling of separateness, upheld by the fatal need to preserve the false sense of life which does not even give them a fraction of the beauty their Souls deserve. The "Golden Lamp" of Spiritual Education is the crying need of the hour. Almost every possible avenue for spiritual education is presently choked by biased secular and sectarian concepts and methods. Dogmatic interpretations are persistently held paramount over Brotherhood; the age-old ignorances of men are carefully preserved and made palatable to contemporary man by new disguises in defiance of Progress in Understanding. Amidst this frightful delaying action which deprives men of the Kingdom of Heaven, the militant and entrenched evils of humanity arise, garbed in robes of social righteousness; these promise the captives of their own lies a "form" of liberty while leading them further into the abyss of materialism and those shameful tyrannies whose very tenets are but a parody on true Liberty! That Love, for which My Son served and through which He hoped to unite the Sons of men, is the strongest possible Power to unite the Sons and Daughters of Heaven today in the true understanding that it is Spiritual Brotherhood, the union of unascended men and women with Us and with God, that will bring forth Peace on Earth. No mere physical union, be it compounded by the world's most brilliant social scientists, can equal or compare with the blueprint of Cosmic Glory engraved by the Hand of God within each human heart as Immortal Life in Self-sustaining action! When the wonders of Resurrection in consciousness are experienced by all men, even as they were by My Son Jesus, they too shall say, "I AM the Light of the world," and so will it be. Each Son and Daughter of Heaven who occupies himself in being about the Father's business is an ally of the Carpenter of Nazareth who will come to equal Sonship while showing and teaching all men the most wonderful Way through which everyone may achieve world Unity and Brotherhood. Columbus,{2} too, bore Christ to the New World and now the New World must return to the fold of that Love in Christ which makes one World Brotherhood whose combined essences in effect inculcate in man's society the Order and Grace of the Hierarchy of Heaven! Safe, then, are the Sons and Daughters in the everlasting arms of the Father-Mother God. Venturing forth from the hallowed Mansions of God above, they come to Earth bearing Peace and Healing to the nations. May I say of Thee, "Of such are Ye"? I remain forever your Mother, MARY ****** Chapter 8 El Morya and Mother Mary - February 22, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 8 - El Morya and Mother Mary - February 22, 1963 El Morya: The Illumination, Beloved Chelas, is more than just a flow of knowledge or precepts into the minds or hearts of men. It is the application of that Gnosis, Light and Grace to understanding action and Brotherhood! To know and still not to do is far more gross than to merely be ignorant; yet the impetus of Divine Love continually spurs mankind on both to know and to do. While the vagaries of men's carnal nature play upon the screen of life with a will-o'-the-wisp action, resembling a display of the aurora borealis and entertaining the human mind with a constant inconstancy of earthly expression, "I AM" certain that the devout and eternal Mercy of God awaits the awakening of man to the Truth of his internally magnificent Divine Nature. Here in Our Citadel of Friendship and Good Will at Darjeeling, the Brotherhood gathers around shining council tables whose polished surfaces reflect the benign countenances of those whom I shall call the world's truly great. Illustrious men are these, playing and destined to play major roles in freeing mankind from every human misery. These God-ordained deliverers are veritable inspirers of all those leaders of governments and heads of state whose constructive natures invite them to pray in preference to preying upon the already overly chastised souls of men. Would to God the faces mirrored in Our splendid shining table tops could be made visible to men and women who possess the power to read physiognomy accurately! "I AM" certain, then, that a multitude of individuals would have their very hearts moved to respond even more diligently to Our call for more action, more light, and more understanding in all types of human relationships. "I AM" daily moved by these blessed Beings who assemble here. I do not tire of perceiving in their eyes the Light of God that does not fail, shining in a more perfect way through the light rays of their Love tangibly rayed out unto the ends of the Earth. I do not cease to rejoice in the thoughts of their hearts and the ideas of their minds which seek constantly to illumine every human problem, to alleviate each distress, and to exalt the world, the individual, and the Earth into the fullness of all God intends each one to be. Illumination must be approached with care, for it is well known that when a moth approaches the flame too closely, its singed wings further hinder its safety in aerial navigation. Those who would approach the Flame of Divine Illumination ought to do so with gratitude for the privilege of becoming auditors of Our words, thoughts, and expressions which are specifically designed to meet the requirements of the hour. Let none study them merely for the sake of intellectual blandishments, but let all welcome the Opportunity which Our present instruction is conferring upon the children of the Earth: namely, the choice role of acting the part of a Living Christ. The ministries of service to men, even the descent of avatars, are not governed by stereotypes, although men have frequently created set images of how a Master should look. Remember that the individual is always privileged to express Christhood in the fullness of Godly Illumination without in any way resembling a previous avatar as to the outer mode of expression or appearance. Each precious manifestation of The Christ in man holds the unique privilege of selfhood as a magnificent, divergent expression of God in manifold form. As the Psalmist declared, "Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me" (Ps. 139:7-10). To permit full Freedom to another is to welcome God in many disguises and brings the one so doing the blessing of an outpoured anointing which God has given into the keeping of another devotee of His unfailing Light. Many do not know that everyone upon Earth who is a Son of God and all in whom is resident the Spirit of Life possess the ability of conferring a blessing which can be a mighty assistance to the recipient. Men prefer to think themselves sufficient unto themselves. It is such ignorance that We would banish in order to shed upon all the fullness of the multiplied and still multiplying graces of Heaven as rayed out through the wondrous Divinity of each lifestream. Such appreciation as I have noted is valedictory! So many have become careless in their regard of others that they flaunt their brothers and sisters to one side, toppling thereby their own towers of common reason and erecting in place thereof an idol of self worship on every hill of a defrauding Babel. God in everyone is the conferring Potentate, yet those so unfortunate as to deny Him banish themselves from the courts of Reality. Our message of Understanding on Illumination and Illumined Brotherhood is intended to bestow upon all the priceless gift of knowing how to mine the gold that is within other children of the Sun with whom you come in contact. Barren indeed would be the people of Earth without the continual flow of ships that ply the marts of commerce, bearing the rare spices, herbs, ornaments and products of one continent to another. How necessary, then, is the commodity of Understanding; how necessary that nations should establish schools in which degrees in Brotherhood are awarded as the result of classic study! How shall the world ever attain Unity and Compassioned Peace if Understanding does not become magnified by those who cherish Brotherhood enough to sacrifice, if necessary, some portion of their own selfhood in order to externalize among men a required facet that will make up the central theme of Illumined Understanding in action. Life understood is more easily lived. Man when understood is more easily loved with relish; God when understood is the elevation of Self. Caught up on clouds of Glory, men find it difficult to recall the struggle to achieve. Let them now summon the energy to overcome the presently seeming barren life saturated with the sole element of self consciousness. Let them plunge rather into the sea of humanity and swim with the lifeline of Brotherhood in tow so that all nations may excel in understanding One another even as do all people. The zeal of the Lord covers the Earth, blessing attuned minds with Illumined Brotherhood in expressed action. Fervently "I AM" MORYA Beloved Mother Mary Cradling the whole of civilization within My Consciousness, I continue to hold the Immaculate Concept for all. Let none think this is either vague or unrealistic, for Truth endures and God's Will is true Divine Love in action. If any panacea exists for the healing of international ills, that panacea exists in the Hearts of Heaven. If any transforming action is to be established upon Earth, that action will be in the transferring of Heaven's understanding concepts to the Earth. I urge that each one participating in attunement with Us throughout this week act as a focus of Healing Love to expand the Light of Illumined Brotherhood throughout the Earth. This Light must become for each one a Beacon of surrounding Love whose Light Rays, in emulation of Our own Love, tangibly pour forth the breath of renewing, resurrecting, flaming Compassion in determined action. "I AM" amplifying the Power of Light upon Earth, stepping up the action of Illumination by the Power of Heaven's own Heart and sealing all Life within the Flame of My own thoughts of Unity. Ever the Mother of all, MARY ****** Chapter 9 El Morya - March 1, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 9 - El Morya - March 1, 1963 The Grail of the immaculate concept is the fount of healing for the earth. The search of each heart for fulfillment, for perfection and for reintegration with the Eternal One must be consummated in the passion of the Christ to heal the ills of a suffering and groaning earth. It requires only a minute act of love to set into motion within the human heart the mighty determination of heaven which fulfills in the great universe the expanded fiats of divine love and the longing which plays upon the resonant strings of the heart that, in truly loving, never forgets! How can men to whom so much has been delivered, to whom opportunity has beckoned so gloriously, fail to pursue the High Road leading to the attainment of the Power of Heaven to heal and exalt one another in the fullness of love? This is a moot question which God answers by loving more, and to which man responds in an undefined understanding of that love, never equivocated but equated in right action. While the mounting population roars its ephemeral disapproval and approval of human conduct, the divine fiat thunders from the heights of the eternal presence, hovering over each heart "cupped" to receive its blessing. In showers of healing love, often unperceived at a given moment, the divine mandate spells out the emancipation proclamation to the human soul who seeks to serve a cause, a nation, or a living divine principle. God disposes free men from the need of human approval, makes them taught by inward truth, and lovingly bestows upon the seeker who is undaunted the fullness of the inner law of healing. Mere physical healing is palliative; like opiate in the hands of a skillful physician, it keeps the senses unaware of the manifesting effects and their causes, but it does not effect a final cure. True spiritual healing takes into account the causative wounds of the psyche of man imposed by life in response to the law of the circle. Its purpose is to instill in men a just sense of balance which trusts in the mighty God Self to provide the fullness of Salvation to the patient by reason of that forgiving love which takes dominion over all outer manifestation and raises that manifestation to its purest expression. To heal without bestowing understanding is an act of divine mercy in which many indulge without the censure of heaven. The healing given with illumined understanding concerning the cause and core of the dis-ease enables the one healed to go forth and "sin no more." The Christ established the mission of healing the nations (" ... and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations"{3}) and of healing men from every dis-ease of body, mind and soul. This mission remains the responsibility of each follower of the Ascended Masters who is willing to engage his energies to establish and sustain causes outside of himself which will go forth into the world to create a climate of hope everywhere. Those who would practice spiritual healing must make certain that they understand the Great Law if they are performing healing without being requested to do so or for an individual who in no way manifests interest in self-help. In such cases the responsibility for this action is magnetized back to the world of the one performing the healing, thereby making him responsible for some time to come for the lifestream to whom he renders the service. This does not mean, beloved ones, that men should draw fear from my statement and elect not to pursue this path of service. After all, God has entrusted men with being their brother's keepers and he has entrusted each lifestream on earth with being a keeper of the flaming radiance called life within himself as well, to qualify it with every good intent and magnify and bless life daily with all the good which the individual can possibly draw into manifestation. Nevertheless, it can be understood that although God does not act arbitrarily, man has the free will to do so. No matter what the evidence may appear to be, God always heals when called upon; but it is strictly the responsibility of man to consciously and persistently invoke the flame of healing truth until the outer manifestation patterns the immaculate concept held. The law of resurrection and regeneration is as fixed as the morning star. It will transfigure every disciple who has the courage, patience, and faith to invoke it until the whole man is made whole. It is not necessary to respond to each need for healing observed, for some individuals are learning lessons which can be terminated only when there is a fulfillment of the Law's requirement. However, for your own protection and the elevation of the consciousness of the needy, the immaculate concept, no thought less than perfection, should be held at all times. Thus the matrix for ultimate healing is intact and will fortify and illumine mankind when, through their own free will, they choose to embody, in the fullness of faith, all good that is the divine intent for their lifestreams. When attempting a virtual alchemical transmutation in the world of another, the law of balance as it is applied in healing must be observed. The requirement that Christly discrimination be exercised by the healer is made in order that the disciple's precious concentrated momentum of spiritual energy be not dissipated upon fallow, unhallowed ground. When Jesus sojourned among unbelievers "he did not many mighty works there ..."{4} Christly discrimination in healing obeys the mandates of karmic law through a higher law of love than that which manifests as human sympathy. By practicing this discrimination one's powerhouse of spiritual reserves is ready to respond instantly to the call of a brother. For when an individual requests assistance, every Ascended Being and every chela of the Great Ones should be willing and able to respond on the instant with alacrity to render transcendent service in the name of God and mercy's blessed ray - the call compels the answer. The healing arts are directly under the blessed, skillful attention of beloved Hilarion and I do not presume to invade his domain except to touch upon those aspects of healing which apply to the release of human thought and feeling into the chalice of the will to do, and the protection and faith of that blessed will of God. Now, however, the need remains for complete healing of the planet earth and of all people thereof. Beloved Mother Mary and myself desire to see a renewed release of mighty healing action upon earth that shall cleanse men from the folly of human design, improve their outlook and make of them instruments through which shall flow an unprecedented action of healing Christ love. To this we dedicate our future - to the mastery, skill, and consummate love which becomes the healing hands of the radiance of God's will assuaging every vestige of mankind's grief and showing them the way to behold life in joy, discovering by spiritual curiosity the unlimited wonders behind the ever receding vision of the future's parting veils. I AM good will in transcendence always, EL MORYA ***** 9.1 Mother Mary - March 1, 1963 ***** Vol. 6 No. 9 - Mother Mary - March 1, 1963 Our beloved Morya has so adroitly revealed in his release that it is the will of God incarnate which erases shadow and strengthens glory. It is, therefore, my fondest hope, little ones, that you will love his vision enough to emulate it and to follow the commandment given by beloved Jesus to his disciples, "Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give."{5} The earth, lovely in springtime, retains its glories through all the seasons, but without the transformation effected by the tiny elementals it would be a barren world indeed. Likewise, without the action of those of us who shoulder still the responsibility for the spiritual education of the world by the power of our vision, attention, and love, men would have a lesser portion of spiritual food, which they require as nourishment and grace for their expanding consciousness. A mother who spends hours in the kitchen preparing food for those she loves does so for reasons far afield from self-glory. There is an action of the sacred fire in each dedicated hearthside feast where the homespun realities of life are born and nurtured by countless mothers the world around. This never-ending stream of devotion is little understood by the mass consciousness and yet it must be reckoned with today even in a vague sense by the social scientists and educators of the world and those who would set a higher standard for humanity. For the ritual of healing is centered in the heart of selfless service dedicated to the expression of the highest portion of good of which the individual is capable - no matter what the task, employment or office, whether performed by elemental, man, or Ascended Master. I AM urging the chelas to swell the mounting tide of prayer rising to God for release of the secret rays of healing to the earth. These shall sweep aside forever the human cause and core of all failure, lack, and despair, and establish in the social world by God's own laws of externalization those methods of permanent healing which makes it possible for the world to retain from generation to generation those blessings which are wholesome and necessary to bring forth and maintain the kingdom of heaven among men and nations. The return to God is inevitable, but must the world pass through the continuing crucible of fiery trial when the flames of love and freedom, in vital assistance to the earth, can invoke in men those responses to the call of heaven which enable each man to be the Saviour of his own world as was my son, beloved Jesus? Extending mercy's healing to all, the individual is able to remain seated on a lotus of pure peace, radiating to all the blessedness of wholeness. To all men I say, "Be thou made whole!" I AM always your Mother, MARY ****** Chapter 10 Beloved Mighty Hercules - March 8, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 10 - Beloved Mighty Hercules - March 8, 1963 O Man, climb Thou the Golden Stairway of Opportunity today. Tarry not in the vibratory actions which senselessly bruise the Soul's Matrix of Perfection. The whole world, as a shining Concept, revolves in the Healing Rays of Beloved Helios and Vesta, absorbing daily the chlorophyll-green Radiance of renewed vitality. It is folly not to be wise. It is folly not to progress in the Unfailing Light of God; and it is a waste of the precious Energies of God to lose the Victory of a strong momentum upward. Strike while the iron of purpose is hot, concentrate the Divine Idea of Perfection in the Chalice of the present moment, and come up over the discord of the earth, earthy, to the glorious Magnetism of Spiritual Unity and Friendship with God, your own Mighty "I AM" Presence. Now, while your attention is upon Me, I choose to draw close to you with the feeling of the full momentum of the First Ray of Power that moves mountains of adversity from your life and correlates your Identity with the Ideal Image of God. He who wills to enter into the very Heart of the Creative Pattern no longer needs to relate his Selfhood to past manifestations of failure or imperfection. One who abides in the Perfect Mind of God is willing to shed karmic apprehensions and feelings of adversity for the purpose of creating anew in accord with the happiness which must manifest by Cosmic Law whenever the full Power of God is called into action. Far too long have mankind tried in vain to ferry their own loads. Struggle could have been eased long ago by proper heed to the descending Avatars and World Saviours. The thorn of human skepticism has kept men enthralled in the fear of fraud to their own hurt. Beloved Ones, simply because some men have practiced deceit is no reason to impute it to the Ascended Hosts or to those unascended servers whose every thought is cooperation with God to free the blessed Earth from the chains of the material senses - the veritable deceivers who have bound Man to so many versions of unhappiness, attempting to distract the attention from the One Great God Source. Beloved El Morya and Mother Mary have offered Their precious Energies now for many weeks in an attempt to give a special blessing to every chela of Divine Truth who is able to receive it. This blessing has been transmitted to the world at large whenever possible. Now the Hierarchy desires to make known a further purpose involved in Their Outpouring. Many faithfully kept the vigil weekly, while some were only partially diligent. To the end of total amplification by the full Power of the Three-times-Three, The Hierarchy hereby authorizes the continuation of the eight-week prayer and meditation simultaneously throughout the world at 7:00 p.m. Washington, D.C. time. The cycle shall be given twice during the next sixteen weeks, commencing with the week of March 17. A list of prayer and meditation subjects is attached in order to afford all who are receiving this material the Opportunity to cooperate in expanding the scope of benefits to unascended mankind. By the time the third cycle commences "I AM" confident the amplified power will be truly "Herculean" in nature for at that juncture "I AM" authorized to balance by thrice whatsoever energy has already been offered by the students in this endeavor. I trust El Morya shall be pleased and that Mother Mary shall rejoice in the Grace received by Earth's children in the Name of The Ascended Jesus Christ through this mounting momentum of ordered service. Some do not realize how coordinated the ventures of Heaven are, how perfectly balanced Our every endeavor for each sincere chela is. Well, Blessed Ones, let Me encourage you to practice spiritual exercise faithfully even when results may not seem to be immediately forthcoming. If you are at all familiar with some of the histories of the Ascended Masters and even of the Elohim, you will lovingly ponder with Illumined Understanding how Faith, Hope, and Charity have played a great part in the very formation of Life at every level of Cosmic achievement. Blessed people of Earth, feel from the Heart of an Elohim the infinite Patience and Love of God Who speeds vibrations of God-success into every constructive undertaking of the Light and empowers Man with the fullness of the Divine Push. Man may organize his actions thereby and cooperate with the perfect release into manifestation of the blessings held securely in the very Heart of each one's own Mighty "I AM" Presence. Why men reject, emotionally or intellectually, Divine Tenets of Illimitable Truth may seem an enigma even to themselves, but such attitudes of unfounded resistance amounting to bigotry must be rooted out in the name of spiritual progress. Self-imposed, human law can always be nullified or canceled by the creators thereof, and in its place the dazzling Faith of illumined action may be invoked. As the call compels the answer, a speedy end to internal dichotomies can be had by direct appeal to God for more Light. This is best evoked in the feeling of uncompromising Faith and the awareness of the truth that Divine Love and Intelligence are transcendental and therefore eternally progressive in ordered Grace. Let Me advocate that men do not accept weakness as part of their true Selfhood. The Power of God is Salvation to those who believe in the right action of that Power, in Its inherent Intent to bless them forever and in Its wonderful manifest Perfection. If, then, self-imposed law is a hindrance to the expression of Perfection, would it not be wise for each one to examine his own heart, to search his mind and inner nature to see what debris must be cleared away so that the full Power of God can flow through him? Why blame others, why blame The Hierarchy or your own Divine Self for the untransmuted error in your world? Do not thus add to your karmic load, but rather accept the blessing of Freedom forever. We love you and stand ready to add Our assistance to that released by every Ascended Master for the freeing of the Planet and for the blessing of each Son and Daughter in whom abides the Spirit of Eternal Liberty. "I AM" THE WILL AND "I AM" THE POWER TO DO ALL THAT MUST BE DONE TO WIN MY ETERNAL FREEDOM: TO ACCEPT ALL THAT MUST BE ACCEPTED, AND TO RELEASE ALL NEGATION INTO THE FIERY HEART OF GOD TO BE TRANSMUTED AND REPOLARIZED BY THE FLAME OF COSMIC PURITY AND PERFECTION! "I AM" locked in the Heart of your Divine Strength, HERCULES Elohim of The First Ray ****** Chapter 11 Beloved Saint Germain - March 15, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 11 - Beloved Saint Germain - March 15, 1963 The willingness of Man to cooperate with his own Mighty "I AM" Presence places him in a category of extreme usefulness to The Hierarchy, enabling those Spiritual Beings charged with the responsibility for governing the flow of Spiritual Energy to this Planet to release a more abundant supply to them. However, although cooperation and attitude be excellent, wherever elements of prejudice and limitation exist in consciousness, they act to impede the flow of Cosmic Energy. Blessed Ones, a simple Law is found to be acting here which draws its analogy in nature: If a water course be clogged with jagged rock, branches, or debris, this accumulation serves to dam up, slow down, and control the rate of the stream's flow. Release the consciousness from all forms of prejudice, subtle or bold, and watch the increase of Spiritual Energy flowing into your life. Mankind are often prone to seek understanding of the so-called mysteries of Life. Dear Hearts, the "key" to every mystery is to be found in the Heart of your own God Presence. To contact the Presence of God you must place your attention upon that Blessed Presence, and through attunement find the answer that you seek. You must not give up if you do not immediately sense a release of Divine Grace into your world. Be willing to accept a simple answer to Life's problems and do not insist upon humanly complicating your life by introducing unnecessary complexity into your world. It is true that great intricacy does exist and that mankind are endowed with wonderful powers of comprehension, enabling them to understand most advanced scientific data. But Beloved Ones, if the Planet is to be healed of its manifold delusions, someone must be willing to translate these advanced laws of nature and theology in order that men with less illumined minds or with a lesser degree of education may find understanding within the context of their present state of comprehension. Many sincere seekers desire unfoldment of their Divine Nature, while other individuals desire to be channels to assist them in securing much needed instruction on spiritual matters, I AM most hopeful that in this present day the world will lack neither able instructors nor perceptive students of the Divine Law. The future of humanity is dependent not upon mere secular knowledge, scientific postulations, or intellectual attainment, but upon moral and spiritual elevation. No society can or has ever long endured which has been dependent upon materialistic achievement for its sustained progress. The millions of Earth, like sheep, await Spiritual Comfort, honesty of intent, manifest Christly Illumination, and the Blessing of Universal Peace. I AM confident that the students of this Light of the Ascended Masters, recognizing the needs of humanity, shall willingly arrange their personal affairs in order to fit the mold of the Divine Plan of service calculated to be of greatest value to the Blessed Hierarchy and to mankind. Unless this be done, how can the body of Spiritual Savants, devoted to serving and dispensing the LIGHT multiply at a rate great enough to meet the demands of AN AWAKENING, GOLDEN-AGE HUMANITY? I ask you this question! Tantamount to a draft for spiritual service, I AM urging the many lovers of Freedom to prepare for the forthcoming release of advanced knowledge and direction which will better prepare you to GIVE as well as to RECEIVE Our Blessing. The whole world awaits the Blessing of the Sunrise of Divine Reality released from their own Mighty "I AM" Presence, This Blessed Presence stands willing and waiting to give the fullness of Ascended Master Love and Light to bring all Life into the orbit of progress sustained by Divinely Ordered Service. I remain for The Holy Cause, your Devoted Brother, SAINT GERMAIN ****** Chapter 12 Beloved Chananda - March 22, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 12 - Beloved Chananda - March 22, 1963 Spiritually exalting experiences have far reaching effects, wonderful to behold in the lives of those who are so fortunate as to have them. Every perceptive individual ought not to neglect the pursuit of Inner Glory for the intrigues of the ephemeral and changing world. The Great White Brotherhood is ever concerned with the development in the individual of excellence and proficiency in the mastery of Spiritual Arts and Graces. Now, so-called "reading" of past embodiments, consisting of the delving into the past or ancient etheric records has afforded some individuals a measure of happiness, inasmuch as it has appeared to them to be useful in understanding themselves and working out their own negative karma (the return to mankind of error or misqualified energy, sent out in the past, for purification and release by its own creator, according to the Law of the Circle) and obtaining a better understanding of the seeming injustices of Life. Now, Beloved Ones interested solely in obtaining Truth, let Me point out that outside of a few specially gifted, unascended teachers and the Blessed Ascended Masters such as Saint Germain, great inaccuracy often exists in such readings. For these may be derived from the personal maya or delusion of the "reader" or, more unfortunate still, they may stem from those unwholesome psychic states which have far too long been the degradation of the people of Earth. The fact that many wonderful and sincere people either engage or believe in such practices frequently leads many devoted chelas into psychic pitfalls which eventually result in much unhappiness. Most people do act innocently enough in these matters, often being of the caliber to have a great love for the Masters of Wisdom and The Brotherhood. However, it is most unfortunate that the seeking of the more sensational aspects of the invisible world frequently appeals to people, for by reason of this appeal for the unusual, inherent in human nature, a penchant for erroneous and dangerous probings of the "unknown" has been woven into the fabric of mankind's Divine Search. The Great Masters always employ care and discrimination in releasing information to the chelas about themselves, desiring to offer only encouragement, guidance, and blessings poured out without limit. It is never Our intention to draw the shadowed enclosures of the past into the consciousness of the sincere student of today who will ultimately balance all karmic matters in the safety and Protection of the Mighty Retreats of Light and under the guidance of one or more of the Great Masters of this Supreme Brotherhood of Servers. Spiritual leaders who are qualified to read the akashic records of the past should be unusually discrete in the dispensing of such information to mankind. Now, while it is not Our intent to discourage this practice in toto or to in any way discredit individuals or organizations who advocate such practices, it is Our wish to alert the sincere chela to the dangers which may be inherent in such readings unless they are governed by extraordinary care. We would thus afford LIGHT'S PROTECTION to the Lambs of God who innocently proceed to open "Pandora' s box" and unleash destructive energy into their blessed worlds, quite unknowingly. Those of you who have requested information on this subject can be directed here and now to be very careful not to completely reorientate your lives solely upon the basis of life readings, for the information which may be obtained therefrom is never any substitute for the guidance of your own MIGHTY "I AM" PRESENCE. Before just acceptance of each orderly scrap of information released into your consciousness is made, it should be placed in the "weighing scales" of Divine Justice anchored in the Heart of your own Mighty God Self. Such application to the God Self of individual Being will afford men and women of today the complete pattern required for VICTORY over all wrong conditions, past or present, and bring them to the full LIGHT of the only Reality in all Eternity, already manifesting in the Sacred Fire abiding within their Hearts. If past etheric records be stirred up, they sometimes release a sea of energy whose turgid waters temporarily black out the Radiance of Happiness which should naturally manifest in the Hearts of those chelas who are devoted to the Unfailing Light of their own Divine Self. Honestly, Beloved Ones, do you really feel the need to know of some evil deed which you may one day have performed before you discovered the wonder of doing better? Would it not be best to seek to discover how you can assist your fellow men in need in the present hour, and serve thereby to amend any and all mistakes of the past? I AM certain that every honest Heart who will turn to the God within for the answer will agree with Our Indian Council that this is so! It is not Our wish to decry all spiritual reading of the akashic records, for there are times when qualified individuals can perform a real service for men which will help them to better understand how to rise above their karma and understand the Great Laws of Life. However, We are specifically interested in having the sincere chelas develop enough God Discrimination that they will not be swayed by every voice that crieth, "Lord, Lord ..." On the contrary, Beloved Ones, be alert to try the spirits to see that they are of the GREATER LIGHT OF ILLUMINED LOVE! Usually highly qualified individuals will not attempt to probe the entire life record of a chela. While there are exceptions to this and it is not a hard rule, it is always best for the chela to DRAW NIGH to his own God Presence for necessary revelation pertaining to the working out of all karmic conditions and establishing himself in a state of absolute Divine Dominion over dependence upon outer persons, places, conditions or things which can never give to Man his permanent Freedom. Above all, Beloved Ones, it is not the wish of Our Council to destroy men's Faith in noble Spiritual Arts. Nevertheless, We do not wish to see sincere men and women destroyed or harmed by the foolish gullibility of the blind who lead the blind which will only sidetrack them from the Great Realities of Life. The Brotherhood is constantly releasing new and progressive assistance to mankind, and We hope in due time, through future releases, to reveal methods of self-discovery which will enable each chela to draw closer to every Ascended Being and to those Laws of Life which will bestow on all the Gift of the Ascension. We would honor each channel of Truth who understands the need to keep Faith with Universal Integrity and to practice day by day those interior Rites of Perfection which draw from the Heart of God, the Mighty Fiery Baptism of EXPANDING LIGHT. Each one so imbued is charged with exquisite Grace and the Power to manifestly be his brother's keeper in safety, progress, and wondrously-endowed Spiritual Friendship. With the Spirit of absolute courage and forthright action, I AM authorizing The Summit Lighthouse, by decision of the Indian Council of The Great White Brotherhood, to continue to release Truth for the sake of Truth and the blessing of all who find happiness in expressing God Freedom and Purity. Let Love continue without dissimulation, let Wisdom increase Her shining, let Spiritual Arts and Graces draw from the transmuting Fountain of Illumination to show all how to wisely walk over the road of Life into the waiting Arms of Immortality and a Haven of Rest in the Great Heart of Light, Life, and Charity, glowing with limitless Energy. Devotedly, CHANANDA Chief, Indian Council of The Great White Brotherhood ****** Chapter 13 Rose of Light - March 29, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 13 - Rose of Light - March 29, 1963 Flood o'er the Souls of men, O God, the wonders of Thy Love; pour forth from Thy Fountain deep the all-consuming splendor of Thy Knowledge, bright with Hope! The wonders of Immortal Love have never been expressed, save in part; however, in the Hope of Man for Thy all-engulfing splendor, to reveal the Light of Allness, springs forth the strong pursuit of LIFE to find Itself, aflame with Reality. I AM come this day to remind you of the onrushing Tide of Eternal Spring, incoming with natural Grace and the perfumed lyrics of Immortal Breath - visible form of Invisible Love in action. Fairies, elfs, sylphs, undines, salamanders, leap in the Flame of Springtime's buoyant Glory. How splendid is this Paradise! The tiny elementals were designed by the Architect of Infinite Wonder to tenderly enfold all natural form with the magic broadcasts of their radiating Love Energy and to serve through the four seasons to make Earth redundant with Beauty, Comfort, Adornment, and providential Supply of all Substance. How grateful AM I for their Constancy! THOU SHALT NOT contaminate the elements by outpoured discord! Rather, DO CALL for their release unto the precious Spirit of Comfort from the Heart of The Maha Chohan, the Mighty Representative of The Holy Spirit to the Earth! Appreciation stems from the heart whose cup flows over the brim to bring a veritable extension of the Expanding Power of Life to all who are recipients of that outpouring. Become, then, self-widening channels for the Expanding Love of the Nature Kingdom by pouring highly qualified Devotion to the elementals and receive in return the wonderful blessing of their highly serviceable friendship. Saint Germain as well as Beloved Eriel and many another Ascended Master have utilized the Love and Harmony of Elemental Life to help fulfill the Immortal Plan of God. The elementals are the natural manifestation of Divine Care in action. Beloved, The Father created these brothers so constant for the manifest purpose of sustaining and blessing mankind and those who dwell upon this loving broad expanse of sea, sky, and land. "THE EARTH IS THE LORD'S, AND THE FULLNESS THEREOF: THE WORLD, AND THEY THAT DWELL THEREIN" (Ps.24:1). It is known by many that Springtime and Resurrection are complements of Jesus' Victory over death and over the very thought of Life as finite. The whirling leaves that descended last fall have changed their shape and color, lost their moisture content and, in general, passed through the change from the formed to the formless; but the primal energies thereof will, if not this year then in one soon to come, arise garbed in some new and splendid form. Thus all Life continues to evolve in the infinite cycles of perpetual purpose. Beloved Jesus' supreme example - the period of three days and nights spent in the heart of the Earth, followed by His Resurrection - likewise speaks to the sensitive Souls of men with the Wonderful Love of God Whose Gift of Life is not for just a moment, but for an eternal forever. All may freely bask in the Comfort and Wonder of this Immortal Truth, hour by hour, day after day. Let the idea of Immortality release you from pain, heal your diseases, enlighten your mind, ease your burden, and flood you forever with the Mighty Rising Tide of indomitable LIFE waiting to shatter the calcinated rocks of decadent human ideas. The Mighty Roots of Truth push through the cloistered gloom of men's unnatural concepts of death in order that Man might arise, robed in the radiant white of Immortality, through cycles of omnipresent Harmony, back to the very Heart of the Love that created deathless LIFE! Cherished offering of Victory, O lilies of the field that toil not, floral trumpets of Resurrection, I AM the promise of LIGHT fulfilled in every hue of nature, bold and minute, crowned and uncrowned servants of the eternal purposes. LET THE GLORY OF RESURRECTION BLOSSOM NOW IN EVERY HEART IN THE FOREVER OF THE ETERNAL SPRING! "I AM" a Being of Love's Promise fulfilled, ROSE OF LIGHT ****** Chapter 14 Beloved Jesus the Christ and Kuthumi - April 5, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 14 - Beloved Jesus the Christ and Kuthumi - April 5, 1963 IMMORTALITY Corona Class Lesson 37 Perfection "Be Ye Therefore Perfect ..." To Those Who Would Return to the Eden of Conscious Immortality - The rite of immortality, the goal of every man who retains the great truth of illumination's golden flame within his heart, is a ceremony of eternal purpose released into a time-spacial dimension by the Light of God that never, never fails! Entrusted to the children of God are many mysteries wearing the disguise of simplicity, yet these stand as pillars of Truth to reveal the most profound laws governing immortal manifestation. When ignored by men, these great laws nevertheless continue to act, for they are living Truth. The penalty for unbelief or inattention to the laws of God is a false sense of existence, entertaining drudgery, mortality, oppression, and darkness - quite the reverse of the God-intent of the soul's exaltation unto the glory of eternal Life! Let divine knowledge be increased concerning the heart and intent of spiritual mastership. At the same time let gratitude be expressed by all who are the conscious recipients of each petal of loving Truth which forms a carpet of fragrant reality beneath the feet of man's own real identity. The passions of restless minds are best stilled in the rapture of Godliness; therefore, the eternal search must go on and none must ever turn back from pursuing the wonders of God's love for man. Mighty spiritual power may be expressed in a childlike way with sweetness and uncomplicated simplicity, but in the eternal Christ-man it is always expressed through the wholeness and maturity of immortal concepts. Thousands of years ago, in ages dimly recorded in the archives of men and all but forgotten in their subconscious memory, events were forged in iniquity which drove men from the Eden of conscious immortality into the thralldom of the senses and the thorny pangs of death, sorrow, and parting. Never, no, never in all the chronicles of heaven has one iota of divine intent ever predestined the sons and daughters of God to the fearful events precipitated upon the screen of life by mortal disobedience and doubt. The events preceding the descent of the sons of God from their abode in the etheric octave to dense bodies of flesh were directly related to the betrayal of the Great God by the fallen angels and their corruption of the race of Homo sapiens which populated the earth. This led to mankind's misuse of the power of free will, their discovery of the misuses of the sacred fire in sorceries and miscreations, and an evil imagination{6} working all manner of vileness, untethered to the mighty power of divine Truth. Is it any wonder that the blessings of immortality are so intimately related today to the golden flame of illumination - to the use of that flame (through the reopening of the crown chakra - the spiritual center focusing the all-knowing Mind of God) and to the recognition by man that he is a son of God descended from on high, a pilgrim in a darkened world? When faith grew dim in the hearts of mortals (mechanization man), they kept a pseudofaith, a cult of superstition according to their changing needs of the moment. They knew not the one God but only the relative good and evil of their supergods (Nephilim). They identified with the shifting sands of time, place, and season without realizing that their attention upon error was being transmitted and absorbed even by Nature. Imperfect concepts, rooted in the subtle logic of Serpent and his seed (a pseudonym given to a band of fallen angels who on Lemuria and Atlantis became the archdeceivers who rivaled the sons of God and betrayed the children of Light), gradually built up a mounting pressure which finally gave way and was unleashed upon life as the harshness of loveless fear, decay, and terrifying diseases, which wrong thought and feeling always bring into manifestation. In those long-departed days of perfection, communion with the wonderful Source of all had made the happiness of the sons and daughters of God supreme, enabling earlier root races to fulfill the purposes of higher octaves uncontaminated by human reason. Life unfolded like a flower of Edenic beauty, and the obedient ones, children of the Light, basked in the sun of eternal happiness. Meanwhile, error was taking form in the depths of the astral plane like a giant squid, poised to poison the clear waters of the earth Mother, bedim the truth of being (the Sun behind the son of manifestation), and destruct the embryonic civilization and path of individual mastership which was gently blazing in the temple of an infant lifewave upon this dear earth. I AM come today in this Corona Class to speak to all who yearn to teach and know the fullness of merciful, transmutative love and to find their way back to that glorious state of perfection they once knew. Life, immortal Life, is within all. It exists as a tiny flame of perfection, fanning hope into a bright beacon in the minds of many devotees of Truth, but bestowing upon the divinely perceptive few the living way to overcome the last enemy, which is death.{7} Your dedication, precious hearts of Light, joined with my own, to destroy this death (and the hell that is the abode of the godless dead) does clear the way for immortal Life to take command, dominion, and control over your lifestreams from the threefold flame enthroned on your hearts' altar. By God-direction and only thereby, man returns to the state of grace whereby heaven is secured in the present rather than postponed by doubt or uncertainty. The laws of man's destined immortality and living grace can never be broken except in the life of the individual who woefully abuses the precious gift of free will. Therefore each obedient one, by cosmic law, does come to a place of comforting inner awareness - the long dark night is past and the dawn floods the soul with peace and the restored hope of return to heavenly grace, attainable here and now. All who break the law of eternal Truth in outer consciousness, by diverting their attention away from Life (fixing it on the ways of death portrayed in the mass media), do not do so with impunity; and the day-to-day frustrations encountered by men are visible proof of this law. It is so well known in our octave as to be elementary that the Godhead desires only to deify man ("to glorify as of supreme worth," i.e., to make man Godlike by his complete soul-identification with the Spirit of Deity) by giving him his full release and freedom from oppressing circumstances (of karmic retribution). Unfortunately, those who most need the assurance of this comforting knowledge are just the ones who find the divine ideas least comprehensible. The people of earth have absorbed much of the pseudoculture of the Cain civilization, whose standards have far too often been set by men of lesser objectives seeking material success without the Spirit and popularity without Truth, and consequently never making a ripple upon the waters of the Mother's cosmic achievement. The magnificent backdrop for reestablishing world order, for mending the ills of the body politic, and for reinstating masterful and Godly self-control by every man, woman, and child is so much hidden behind a useless clutter of debris of ageless feuds and vendettas. The view men have of the future often seems too nebulous and far away to be of any consequence, with the exception of the thin slice they claim as their allotted span of days, though they know not from moment to moment their tenure of office in their houses of clay. Still, the hearts of the few have in every age responded mightily to the impetus of divine love, eager to use the many avenues of heavenly service open to them for the blessing of their fellowservants made in the likeness of God! I am convinced that the hope of the world lies in expanding the victory of those comparatively few God-illumined and God-seeking individuals who in every age have moved ahead spiritually. Fortunately for themselves but not so for the world, many of these do graduate from the earthly scene and obtain their freedom and ascension. This creates a seeming vacuum at the top of the spiral and makes the ratio of the illumined compared to the mass consciousness seem to be a figure of diminishing returns in contrast with the "broad way."{8} However, the ideals of every Ascended Master and the devotees of Ascended Master love have kept earnest and God-illumined beings anchored to the earth and its atmosphere as an act of grace and mercy whereby from the ascended octave, the Master offers his highly spiritualized endeavors for the freedom of the whole "I AM" Race. These are the lost (marred) sheep of the house of Israel {9} unto whom I am sent and unto whom I send my disciples. These are of the seed of God-Reality - the spiritual descent of the Ancient of Days (Sanat Kumara), also referred to as the seed of the Woman{10} (the Divine Mother). You see, beloved ones, it is necessary for us to maintain personal representatives as focal points for our Word (Alpha) and our Work (Omega) who will cherish the spiritual energies of heaven and enshrine them in a holy atmosphere on the altar of a consecrated life, disseminating our teaching, love, and light creatively in multifaceted ways. We must have embodied lifestreams willing to publish abroad by love a true understanding of the laws of God and the full complement of instruction for the path of the ascension. (We know only too well that, by definition, this involves some personal sacrifice to accomplish.) Our outposts thus fulfill the cosmic law which decrees that on earth man is the authority for his world. Except under extraordinary circumstances or through a life already surrendered to God's will, heaven does not intervene or intercede in mankind's affairs without his freewill, prayerful request or that of a devout representative whose upraised chalice of conscious receptivity is constant to contain the divine outpouring. Thus, our call goes forth for ministering servants to serve under our jointly held office of World Teacher. We are in search of disciples who will teach men the Way while they are still a light in the world. In no heart is this Truth so well received as in the heart of the one who is lovingly determined to obtain the state of immortality by assisting others to win their freedom from the curse of Edom. Remember always, I AM the Way. Lovingly, I AM Jesus the Christ Faith "By Faith Enoch Was Translated ..." by Kuthumi My Brothers and Sisters Putting on the Breastplate of Faith - The earnest endeavors of the faithful who seek to obtain their victory over death may not be fully recognized by those who remain after the ascending one is taken up from them, but the skepticism of the mass mind does not affect the illumined who rocket skyward on the power of that divine grace which they have faithfully invoked. However, the impediments of unbelief do attach to unbelievers, acting as a deterrent to their own manifestation of immortality and victory. To win a state of consciousness charged with vital faith is a major step to obtaining the deathless state. How this is so can be understood by sincere followers of the Light by noting the effect of faith upon the spirit of man. Lift up personal faith in immortality, and life becomes worthwhile. Life becomes a kingdom of sharing and achievement where the entire family of the Lord's Body finds hope, loomed by love, keeping the flame of eternal comfort blazing in the consciousness of the Community of the Holy Spirit. I can note in my own spiritual journey the wonderful advent of renewed faith - how like a lodestar it drew me onward and upward, teaching me through the victory of beloved Jesus how God intended me to make his victory my own. It is wise, ever so wise, blessed ones, to relate Truth to one's self. Only by drawing God into manifestation in yourselves can you find renewed hope and the means to overcome human despair by Divine Love. Questions on the origin of Life are best considered by the finite mind in terms of a round of cycles having neither beginning nor ending. These traverse the Infinite and aim progressively higher in dimension and wonder. A straight line seems to have a beginning and an end, but a set of cycles or spirals goes ever onward and upward as the God-intent decrees, manifesting daily in a blessed unveiling of Infinity to the joyous heart of the child of God. Beloved Jesus and I intend to bring you in these Corona Class Lessons a greater awareness of immortality and of how you can achieve your personal victory over death. With fond hope we shall inform the students of means to accelerate faith. And faith herself will generate a greater understanding of the science of Being, which when applied will alleviate much distress and fear from the mass consciousness and enable our beloved chelas to be of significant service to restore the earth to the golden Edenic state referred to by beloved Jesus. We dedicate this series to this purpose and decree that angelic hosts bear limitless blessings of immortal assistance that shall manifest in the world of every sincere student of this Light of God which does not fail. To the victory of Love I AM dedicated forever, Kuthumi [Taken from the book version Corona Class Lessons] ****** Chapter 15 Beloved Kuthumi - April 12, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 15 - Beloved Kuthumi - April 12, 1963 IMMORTALITY Corona Class Lesson 38 Charity "Though I Speak with Tongues ..." Lovers of the Power of God unto Salvation - If you could perceive at inner levels, as we do, the deep and almost painful longing within the hearts of God's children to find a greater understanding of life and deliverance from the confusion which is a part of the human experience, your hearts (if at all responsive to your brothers' needs) would swell with great desire and a mounting fervor to increase the tempo of deliverance upon this dear planet! The wonderful devotion of many of our chelas is marvelous to behold, and we do commend their many benign attitudes and right action. Yet, scurrilous attitudes still permeate the mass consciousness, spilling over by semiconscious habit into the lives of our chelas, preventing the fullness of their manifestation of immortalizing love in action. Now, it is true that salvation is a gift of the power and grace of God rather than a matter of men's works{11}; it is also true that the ascension is the fullness of the divine intent for every child of Light (the terms salvation and ascension are both defined as the soul's reunion with God, the Mighty I AM Presence, through the mediatorship of the Holy Christ Self). Nevertheless, it is needful that the scriptures be correctly interpreted in order to bring greater understanding on what in Eastern philosophy is referred to as "karma yoga"{12} (union with God attained through the balance of karma by right action). Just so, in his blessed writings James, a disciple of Jesus, stated that if a man had faith, good works should follow as a testimony thereof, concluding that faith without works is dead. And Love is truly the fulfilling of this law. The symbology of the LORD's "common table" reminds us that the Law of Love is based on the great unity of Life - a love of Love, by Love and for Love! How can God forget man whom he has created, seeing that he, the Creator, is endowed with infinite grace and mercy? Those who are the true followers of the Divine Mind, perceiving his grace and the fullness thereof, must respond in the mode of the Father to the spiritual hungers of his little ones and, in the Master's words, "Feed my lambs!" There are any number of dedicated lifestreams on this planet who, although they do not fully understand the law of their own being or the universal principle of the individualized Mighty I AM Presence, do understand the needs of mankind and do respond with good works and good causes to the heart calls and crying needs of the multitudes. With consummate skill our devotees, through their heightened understanding, seek to alleviate distress and suffering by direct invocation to the Godhead for a mighty intercession of his hosts on behalf of the many, not neglecting to also pour out their assistance with loving concern, constancy and a practical spirit of grace. In a very real sense, both groups - the humanitarians and the ministering servants - are showing their faith by good works; and eventually they will find that the karmic record of their lifestreams, which is always accurate, reflects every good work credited to their personal account. Inasmuch as immortality is the gift of Life intended for all - one which must be apprehended and claimed as a birthright by each individual son of God - those who assist souls in finding their way back to their beloved God Self are likewise, by this act of the Good Samaritan, helping themselves toward their own ascension. Why do you suppose, blessed ones, that those of us who attuned so valiantly and devotedly to the Deity in past embodiments elected the humble way of service? Why did beloved Jesus lovingly offer his energies for the many who were unable to obtain for themselves that release of spiritual grace which he did? Why did so many of the illustrious, known avatars and servants of God, wrestle with humanity, regardless of expressed inappreciation or ingratitude, even to the point of hostility? Blessed ones, it may have seemed a selfless act from the human standpoint, but from the divine it was enlightened self-interest. Those blessed ones knew that their return to the heart of God would be greatly accelerated by their full acceptance of the blessed opportunity for service on earth. They also knew that their earthly service would one day be transcended by the opportunity for greater service rendered from the God-victorious ascended state, even as I am now doing. With the Brothers of the Golden Robe I am serving mankind in countless ways, helping them to obtain greater wisdom from God and the beauty of illumination's flame. As a servant of God in the office of World Teacher, it is my duty (dharma) and steadfast intent to intensify in all our students, as at Crotona {13} long ago, the flame of devotion to Truth. Now, my beloved heart friends of the ages, I would point out that discouragement is often the lot of the aspiring ones who assess their progress against the scale of the unreliable, untrue human personality. If men and women on the spiritual path will leave all judgment to God through the Mighty I AM Presence, not even judging themselves, turning rather to their Great God Source and the Ascended Masters with a more intense love, they will find a greater power coming into expression in their worlds. It is this power of God unto salvation{14} that we would see expanded (with its commensurate deliverance from the Evil One), not self-degrading thoughtforms of one's self-imaged imperfection which only set the soul on a downward spiral. The body of Light-servers (the Mystical Body of Christ) must be reinforced by men and women who are not afraid of absorption unto the Godhead. How ridiculous it is for man to fear to return to the Great Source whence he came! Do men actually believe that they can be all of God and still remain men? As they manifest more of God, they will yearn for all of God, their only regret the fact that the very quality of self-transcendence prevents the acquisition of Infinity, making the joyous pursuit of Divinity the self-transforming purpose of forever! Could it be that man wishes to give power to the clay rather than to the Great Potter{15} and to his blessed wheel molding life's experiences? Beloved, the creation of the incoming soul personality of the Son of man within God's heart takes place with so great a devotion that no gentler, no more powerful action of love could be conceived or comprehended by the offspring of the Most High. Jesus, my beloved co-servant, expressed this love in his compassion for the multitudes as he "took our infirmities and bare our sicknesses,"{16} thereby entering in to the Father's never-ending re-creative love, daily giving new birth and new life to the soul personality of his children. After the buffeting taken by his little ones making their way in the world, I am certain that the majority would more than welcome the reintegrating ministrations of the Holy Spirit given to the prodigal son. Now, I do not intend to entertain the notion that the Godhead is powerless to interfere in the domain of earth - as some have avowed. O beloved brothers, the power of God is unparalleled anywhere, above or below - for, viewed from any angle, omnipotence is stupendous! Surely all should know that God does temper the wind to the shorn lamb{17} wheresoever upon earth man, by free will, makes the Father's will the directing authority of his actions. As I speak of lambs, I think of the scripture that declares, "He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter; as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth."{18} Blessed ones, the service of compassion offered by every ascended being on behalf of earth's evolutions has not been accomplished without some opposition, apparent or not. The abysmal swamp of human ignorance and the restless sea of delusion inundating the mass consciousness act to oppose the extension of the Light. But we declare, It has no power or permanence! Hitch your attention, blessed ones, to the star of divine power and heavenly permanence, and watch how your desires are fulfilled by the action of the immutable law of love and grace. By giving comfort to others you cannot help but receive in return, and the world is so full of need. Immortality is best achieved by service, then; for by doing the Father's business,{19} the stream of divine love is channeled through you, and God will not deny his own channel the boon of the divine interchange. How necessary are instruments of service, in not one but many fields. Let all serve God as the great light of their Divine Self directs. And may all be blessed thereby with the rewards of immortal service so enjoyed by the Ascended Masters! The many mansions of the Father await unfoldment by devoted lifestreams consciously pursuing the path of immortality, graduating from earth's schoolrooms in order that they may serve either "here" or "there." Truly, "I AM here and I AM there and I AM everywhere in the service of my God!" is a statement of the cosmic order of the day - and the Daystar appearing.{20} The elect need never want for happiness derived from seizing the torch of opportunity (from those who have gone on in cosmic service) to serve here on earth. The spreading abroad of love is the prerogative of angels. However, man, made a little (while) lower in the hierarchical order, as he attains the fullness of his freedom through self-application to grace and good works, accepts the gift of God and is crowned with even more glory and power!{21} Thus is he exalted to the fullness of the honorable state of the Ascended Master octave where "one with God is the majority" - understandable in action through the use of universal power, wisdom, and love. The personal self is naturally unhappy when confined to a state of stratification with no escape in sight. How well I recall this feeling which came upon me in my embodiment as Francis Bernardone when I was slated to take over my earthly father's business and make my way on the path of worldly glory and honor. To the consternation of my father and friends, I forsook this cup of earthly inheritance and a prosperous business in order to strive for a better reward {22} from my heavenly Father. I talked to Brother Sun and Sister Mother-Earth as I sought to impress the tenderness of Jesus' love and the love of God upon each grain of sand wherever I walked. I drew forth the flame of God and asked him to let the light within me flow forth to hallow each of my footsteps, that all generations to come might thereby be blessed. You see, your immortality is attained here and now, blessed ones of the Light. It is won in your joyous use of the shining hours, in your radiant, God-expressed harmony, in paeans of praise released to the heart of God from your own wonderfully charged, beating hearts, swelling with the love-tide of gratitude for Life. O come now, let us make a joyful noise unto the LORD!{23} Let us together praise immortal areas of service, magnetized in the present day of salvation and then left as landmarks for all, that they, too, may find their way Home! O Love of God, immortal Love, Enfold all in thy ray, Send compassion from Above To raise them all today! In the fullness of thy power Shed thy glorious beams Upon the earth and all thereon Where life in shadow seems. Let the Light of God blaze forth To cut men free from pain. Raise them up and clothe them, God, With thy Mighty I AM Name! Kuthumi [Taken from the book version Corona Class Lessons] ****** Chapter 16 Beloved Jesus the Christ - April 19, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 16 - Beloved Jesus the Christ - April 19, 1963 IMMORTALITY Corona Class Lesson 39 Body "Now Ye Are the Body of Christ" To Students of the Christic Mysteries Who Will Learn the Law of Immortality - Thou radiant perfection of Light, descend into the hearts of men and let them partake of thy Reality, let them become thy Immortality, let them know the fullness of their Being! I AM come that men might have Life (God), and that more abundantly.{24} How can it be that those who profess to believe in God can fail to understand that the expansion of divine privilege is the will of God for all? Inasmuch as Life is a divinely endowed privilege, it follows in the fullness of God's will that all men should receive more abundant Life as their faith calls into action the intended manifestation of God's blessings. Timidity, which hides its light under a bushel{25} of neglect and rationalization, can never inherit the kingdom of God. In order to draw forth the required momentum of victorious immortality, a waning faith (faint heart, feeble spirit, hesitation, inaction) must be replaced by confidence in our Father's plan and its certain unfoldment in man. The contact our students make with God at inner levels of consciousness may not be fully appreciated by the outer mind due to the fact that they are not entirely aware of the inner grace (light) they already possess (through the crystal cord and the threefold flame). If those who yearn to experience the affluence of the Mind of God and his inner guidance will persistently call for the expansion of the flame of divine illumination within their hearts, they will be amply rewarded; for out of the consciousness of this inner grace (transmitted by the Holy Christ Self) comes the understanding of Life and the instruction on how to energize the cells of the physical body and how to control the bodies of thought and feeling. The memory body of man (called the `etheric,' or fire, body) must likewise be energized by spiritual power until the `parts' of the Whole which manifest in man become the sum of his inner-level experience. This is accomplished, dear ones, through thy meditation on Light precipitated in thy members through the science of the spoken Word. Now, there are schools which do not place enough emphasis on the exercise of the faculty of memory; others encourage its abuse through learning by rote without soul comprehension (the education of the heart) or the integration of the mental and spiritual faculties. And this we would warn against - for out of the divine memory of continuous self-conscious awareness throughout all previous existence there is impressed upon the mental body, the desire body, and the physical body the attributes (spiritual `genes') of the soul personality. These cycle into manifestation not all at once but little by little as the child develops into an adult and throughout life. Thus, through schooling and the disciplines of the Brotherhood, the outer mind must frequent the spiral stairway to the inner memory, thereby establishing the channel for the descent of higher powers and the release of genius attained in previous lives - also recorded in the blessed memory body, truly the archives of the soul's history. The blessed vehicle of the memory was created to record the divine pattern for each lifestream as well as the truth of his experiences on the etheric plane and his soul-awareness in the higher octaves of being. Throughout man's evolution in human form, there has been impressed upon it, however, those discordant thoughtforms, misqualified energies of the mass consciousness, and everyday trivia which crowd out the crystal purity and simplicity of God's continual self-revelation to man, abundant in variety and rich in blessing. The need of the hour, then, is the purification of the etheric body from the debris of sense consciousness in order to uncover the original records of the Creator's intent and to make room in the "inn of being" for soul consciousness - the Christ Light of true felicity in the bliss of divine experience. I know of no more efficacious means of accomplishing this purification (presently available to our disciples) than the application of the violet fire through the daily giving of dynamic decrees. Prayer, fasting, meditation on the Presence - physical exercise, yoga, breathing in fresh air and sunshine, et cetera - and, above all, harmony in the feeling world, high-mindedness, proper rest and a wholesome diet will complement your application of the Word for maximum acceleration of the divine memory of the Mind of God within your etheric body and its anchoring in the physical cells of the brain and central nervous system. Observing the above steps will contribute that needed balance that makes you both peaceful and energetic, confident of your path and person, and a cheerful example spreading joy and enthusiasm to all! Such as these breathe the air of holy purpose and accomplish it! The God-identity of each disciple is to be found in his acceptance of the power of the I AM Presence to outpicture his blessed divine plan in the physical octave through the four lower bodies, under the guidance and tutelage of the Holy Christ Self. Bearing in mind that we have revealed the memory body as the keystone in the arch of being, connecting the `Above' and the `below' of your consciousness, please consider the following: Since the physical octave is the proving ground for spiritual achievement and the place where the gift of salvation is appropriated by good works, it is here on earth that God-identity must be realized - not in some nirvanic state following a life of inaction, or contemplation and yogic practices without works. The four lower bodies, then (as memory, mind, feelings, and physical form), are the instruments through which the perfection of the I AM must manifest in order that it might be fulfilled: "I AM thy will being done in earth as it is in heaven."{26} Beloved ones, that which you are outpicturing in your four lower bodies is the index of your present conscious understanding - or your unconscious or subconscious ignorance. What you are and what you think can clearly be seen in what is manifesting in those four lower bodies, both from our vantage and by the spiritually attuned and perceptive unascended teachers. The vision of God-identity which you have first beheld and then held in the chalice of your consciousness is that which you are outpicturing, however limited that concept might be. The Law states that unless you are outpicturing in your four lower bodies (the four sides of the great pyramid of self) the fullness of the divine image, you have not, in fact, accurately perceived that image: As a man seeth in his heart, so is he in outer expression.{27} Conversely, he cannot be or become that which he has not seen. Now, it is our fervent desire (de-sire) that from the De-ity you sire that "Sun of Righteousness" which shall bear you up on healing wings of God-Thought and sustain within you the perfect matrix of your immortal Selfhood.{28} Your etheric body is the logical vehicle for this, being, in its pure state, the highest vibrating body of the four lower bodies. In each conscious or unconscious output of energy, you are either molding or marring the divine image within you - the result being a consequent manifestation of that energy pattern, duly consecrated or desecrated, within the three lesser bodies. The etheric body is a chalice for the sacred fire of your I AM Presence, the vessel of the chakras and the temple of your Christ Self - when purified. The soul who has elevated itself vibrationally to a comfortability in this exalted plane wears the etheric garment as a vehicle for so-called out-of-the-body `soul travel.' Thus we emphasize that upon your deliberate purification and spiritual exercise of the memory body depends your accomplishment of assignments given to you prior to this life as the set goal of this embodiment. The key to scientifically accurate precipitation within the walls of your tabernacle - the place where you can learn to be the wise masterbuilder, the place where God is - will be discovered by you, beloved, through your implementation of the knowledge that your four lower bodies are the chaliced focus in this octave for the will, wisdom, love, and power of God. It must be seen that these bodies are not four horsemen in competition for the prize of individual identity but a team of stallions driven by one charioteer, your True Self, who uses their combined energies for a unified effort to win the cup of balanced action in the thrust for the immortal purpose of Christ-identity. You see, my blessed disciples, it is the Holy Christ Self who must be given free rein over the energies lowered first into the receptacle of your memory body, thence directed to the mental body, the desire body, and the physical body. These energies are entrusted to your use to glorify God in the physical octave. In surrendering the reins of controlled action to the Mentor who holds the outline (map) of your life's course within his hand, you are thereby declaring your acceptance of the precept embodied in the first commandment of the Law, "Thou shalt have no other gods before me."{29} By your free will, you thereby deny all power to the idols of the `kings' of this world{30} and stand in the grace of my mission. Having taken conscious dominion over the wilderness temptations,{31} you will return to the kingdom (the consciousness of the City Foursquare "coming down from God out of heaven" {32}) in the confidence that when the prince of this world cometh, he shall find nothing in you;{33} for you shall have made of your four lower bodies the tabernacle of God, supported by pillars of divine will, illumined by wisdom, and outpictured by the power and love of the Creator. Indeed, there shall nothing be found within that city which lieth foursquare that taints (defiles{34}) the divine identity, for having once subjected yourselves unto the law of immortality, in unity of purpose to the expression of "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done," the hypothetical laws of sin and death (mortality) can no longer hold sway over your existence.{35} Thus your immortality is gained in the here and now through the conscious taking on, day by day and hourly, of that infinite consciousness which includes the universe in its love and regard and can partake only of the completeness of the Christ in both thought and action through the four lower bodies. Awaken, ye potential saints, to the call of the I AM and of your Holy Christ Self, whose clarion voice declares: Arise! Arise! Arise, shine!{36} in the acceptance of thy Light and thy immortality through the conscious release of thy four lower bodies into the mainstream of divine direction descending from on high through the crystal cord into the upraised chalice of thy heart flame. Be still and know that I who made thee will walk with thee alway, for I AM the very core of thy design. I AM thy Light and I AM thy Life and I AM thy soul's identification with immortality now and forever! In the stillness of the dawn of thy immortality, I AM the resurrection of divinely inspired good works within thee. Thy brother, Jesus the Christ [Taken from the book version Corona Class Lessons] ****** Chapter 17 Beloved Kuthumi - April 26, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 17 - Beloved Kuthumi - April 26, 1963 IMMORTALITY Corona Class Lesson 40 Threefold Flame "He Maketh His Ministers a Flame of Fire" The path of service as a means to finding the allness of God has been well outlined. Let us, therefore, study the best method for attaining conscious immortality as an adjunct to loving service. Blessed ones, the threefold flame, which is the seat of your life and consciousness, has been too little understood. This tri-unity of Power, Wisdom, and Love functions as one: wherever one quality manifests, the other two must follow if you are to express and enjoy the fullness of Christ-good. The balancing of these Christly qualities is the present major goal for our students. This is accomplished through balancing the threefold flame, which you may visualize as a single sacred fire having three 'plumes' resembling a fleur-de-lis, each plume focusing one of the primary God-qualities of the Trinity. To increase the size of the threefold flame remains a secondary goal; for unless balance is first achieved, it would only become more unwieldy. Power (focused in the blue plume), Wisdom (focused in the yellow plume), and Love (focused in the pink plume) are related magnificently to the angelic radiation of faith, hope, and charity and to the light of the Father, the life of the Son, and the love of the Holy Spirit. In fact, these interrelated flame-symbols of triune action focus the personification of the Holy Trinity within you. Now, as Saint Germain has told you, "Light is the alchemical key."{37} Hence, your comprehension and expansion of the elements of your Light (which is indeed your Power) is the key to spiritual magnificence and immortal Life, guarded by the perfection of immortal Wisdom and Love. It so happens that the expansion of divine Light is a spiritually scientific activity. For this reason I am going to speak carefully on this subject (both here and in our classes which you attend at 'inner levels' on the etheric plane at the Royal Teton Retreat). It is my desire that all may benefit from the simplicity of this release and that its blessing be not confined to scholars of God's word who love to hear of holy things, as I do. Consider for a moment: the core of minute particles of material substance is composed of light which emanates from the white-fire nucleus of the atom. This light is directed from the heart of God in the Great Central Sun to the border kingdom of God in the spherical and peripheral world of so-called matter. It is important for you to realize that the natural flow of this sustaining power is administered by the Divine Intelligence inherent within creation and directed by specific hierarchical manifestations - such as cosmic beings, Elohim, angelic hosts, Nature devas, elemental spirits as well as exalted man (ascended and unascended adepts) - who have attained by grace various states and stages of control over natural law. You see, there is a Sun behind the sun. There is a unifying essence behind outer manifestation which is wholly spiritual and an immediate part of God yet contains the formula for the coalescing of matter, molecule by molecule. The great Master Saint Germain has often used the term Light to denote this causative aspect of the Deity, as have others of our Brotherhood. However, discrimination is needed, for just as there are people and people, so there is light and there is Light. Even so, God has retained in his great heart of love, securely locked within the Tree of Life (Causal Body), the mysterious fruit (God consciousness) of that Tree which (when divinely partaken of) does make the Son of man, as the manifestation of God, to live forever.{38} Yet the deepest mysteries of past ages can be understood through a simple explanation if you will give us your undivided attention - for beloved Jesus and I desire you to become as we are by the assimilation of the 'body' and the 'blood' of our teaching. Divine Love holds the answer to the release of immortality, and anyone who manifests any feeling less than love for all of Life, or any part of Life, is denying himself the secret elixir of immortal Life. Man can no more deceive or thwart the Great Law than he can rise from the earth and ascend bodily into heaven without the assistance of the Almighty and the release of the spiritual energies of his God Self. The earnest student must believe us when we say that so long as a trace of human feelings - mild dislike, including subtle jealousies or hatreds - remains in his consciousness, he will be unable to summon the great love magnet of the Central Sun to assist him in obtaining reentrance into the paradise of God where the Tree of Life spreads its all-enfolding branches of beneficence. The Law makes no exceptions. When the necessary purification of consciousness is accomplished through holy service to Life and a concerted decree effort, and the candidate stands purged by the violet flame, stripped by Divine Reality (the Holy Spirit) of every trace of impure thought and feeling, he will be allowed to stretch forth his hand to receive the fruit of the Tree of Life. This initiation is given by the Great Initiator - our Beloved Teacher - the Buddha Lord Maitreya. This `first fruit' is the conferment of the power to direct Light's energy (henceforth magnetized by the initiate from his own Sun Source, the I AM THAT I AM) into the atomic structure of his four lower bodies at will. This Light of God - which is the only light that never fails - then rushes into the original channels where the all-sustaining power formerly flowed. There, through its self-luminous, intelligent quality, the light transmutes, thread by thread, the overlay of the old energy paths and the old garment of the human consciousness as it weaves (literally, cell by cell) the transcendent perfection of the seamless garment of the living Christ. By divine grace, some special souls upon earth demonstrate certain phases of Christ-accomplishment without passing through the transfiguring experience of which I am speaking. This is because the great Law of Love in its mercy responds to people's hearts, whatever their state of consciousness, releasing them into greater Life, by merit, as a parent would help a child climb a stairway to the stars. Needless to say, it is the conscious victory of a living Christ in action, scientifically demonstrated, which every disciple of beloved Saint Germain, of Mother Mary and Jesus (and of all the Ascended Masters of the Great White Brotherhood) must seek to express in his daily living. It is beggary and paupery for men to deny the greatness that is within them and to seek without for that Light of God that sustains their very Life. The grace of heaven must be focused within the true domain of one's being and individuality, and here I speak both metaphorically and actually. The power of the Light behind all light, the unfailing Light of God, must be invoked and focused in man ere he can rise in consciousness until he actually ascends into that light realm of freedom which is the heavenly home of everyone who has successfully passed earth's tests and has dared to step beyond the veil of human ignorance. Thus, the glorious flame of illumined obedience to divine Law must express the fullness of Love's immortality within man as his thought and aspiration rise toward God.{39} While the snares of astral and psychic densities continue to pour out a vaporous stream of appeals to human vanity, beloved Saint Germain holds forth, as does every ascended being, the image of the immortal reality of divine Selfhood as the goal of every life. To point the way to the attainment of this goal is the greatest service anyone can render. Proceeding, then, with the transmutation layer by layer of his human creation (karma), the one who aspires to the office and the divine calling "Ministering Servant" is in the very best posture to concentrate on balancing the integrated action of his threefold flame. This he will do by calling for and affirming in all his affairs a well-rounded manifestation of God's consciousness of Power, Wisdom, and Love - his to command by free will according to his own discriminating intelligence. First, he will take care that any and all acts, including both words and deeds (which always require energy, power, determination, and will to accomplish), are not compromised by human willfulness, rebellion, pride, anger, aggressiveness, ambition or any such abuses of the First Ray of God's powerful Will. Second, he will balance all his activities by the necessary application of Wisdom's objectivity and equanimity - preceded by forethought, study, research, analysis, and careful consideration that each thrust for a purpose is constructive, well-organized, and of benefit or gain to some part of Life. Third, he will test every move, project, or plan by the measure of God's Love, purifying motive and intent with charity and compassion, especially examining it for its practicality - "Will it work?" He will enfold his actions with creativity, devotion, carefulness, unselfishness, and gratitude, giving the glory to God and taking care that the work or word contains the essentials to bear fruit, multiplying grace and increasing the Christ consciousness on earth. Continuing to use these standards as the guiding principle for right action, he will always weigh his intentions by the simple formula: right reason (Wisdom), right motive (Power), right cause (Love). With consistent striving toward a well thought-out goal and a developed plan of action - realistic and attainable - he may then intensify his mantras to the violet flame, alternating with his prayer to his Holy Christ Self to "Balance the Threefold Flame in Me!" {40} Lastly and importantly, he will seal his day - his words and his works, every blow struck for the LORD - with the blue flame of protection from Saint Michael (Archangel of the First Ray). I trust that every sincere student of this Light having Christ-discrimination will recognize his responsibility as a servant of Truth to magnify honor, sincerity, integrity, and transcendence within himself and each individual he contacts, in preference to spectacular psychic phenomena and predictions based on astral readings. A thousand glamorous, glittering snares need have no effect upon you, blessed ones, if you will only hold fast to the forte of your true being and its wondrous reality. Use, then, the flame of Love to purify your feeling world of mortal sense-consciousness and weave a garment of immortality while abiding temporarily in the vale of human sorrow and tears (samsara, the condition of world karma). Thus, as Jesus lived, so shall ye - "in the world, but not of it."{41} Overcome all outer frustrations by the intensity of your fervent faith and the overcoming strength of that faith. Let no one deny you the power of God unto salvation. Remember, conscious immortality is dependent upon the power of Love in action in your world; and the release of that power into your world is best accomplished after infinite Love has stripped you of all self-limiting human qualities. Then divine Wisdom can, and she surely shall, expand her action into the forcefield of your individuality and endow you with such illumination as to make you in truth God-taught. The divine whisper will softly speak your name as God's identification of your Spirit, "I AM," and the meaning thereof will be apparent to you as the soundless Sound, the guiding Light, the presence of Reality manifesting in you, free from the facade of human vice or virtue and all pride in self. Then shall you rejoice in the creation of your own immortal consciousness: "The LORD God saw the creation which he had made and, behold, it was very good!" In the spirit of infinite peace and goodwill, let all amplify the power of Light within the cells of their whole being. Draw and magnetize the Light, but know that this Light is the balanced action of divine Love, Wisdom, and Power - teaching, cherishing, and directing you always into the paths of righteousness for His name's sake, I AM. How else, blessed ones, can man "be still and know that I AM God"? In his early instruction, Saint Germain advocated the visualization of Light surrounding and enveloping the body for a period of fifteen minutes of intense concentration.{42} Too many people use such valuable spiritual exercises for a while, and then because they begin to "feel so good," they forget the source of their blessings and do not sustain their momentum. Yet, magnificent beings you are - and immortal beings, too! Remember, the Ascended Masters were once as you are. We are pulling for you, one and all, to make your ascension and to forever find your eternal freedom in the Light. The intense action of divine Light released into your use from the heart of your beloved I AM Presence, then freely charged by you with the Wisdom and Love of your developing threefold flame, is the finest elixir obtainable. From this substance of immortality every potion of a spiritually energizing elixir has been compounded. Take this cup in my name and drink ye all of it. Drink into the kingdom of God. Beloved ones, there must be a conscious "taking in" of spiritual energy. Every allegory and symbol pertaining to the divine mysteries has pointed to this truth. It is the way of God unto the partaking of his kingdom, it is the communion of the saints, it is the self-chosen Path that imbibes conscious immortality and Life with a sense of holiness equaled only by the Christ. Behold, I say ye are wholly God's! Kuthumi "For the second step: Make certain of being undisturbed, and after becoming very still, picture and feel your body enveloped in a dazzling white Light. The first five minutes while holding this picture, recognize and feel intensely the connection between the outer-self and your Mighty God within, focusing your attention upon the heart center and visualizing it as a golden sun. "The next step is the acknowledgment: `I now joyously accept the fullness of the Mighty God Presence - the pure Christ.' Feel the great brilliancy of the `Light' and intensify it in every cell of your body for at least ten minutes longer. "Then close the meditation by the command: I AM a child of the Light - I love the Light - I serve the Light - I live in the Light - I AM protected, illumined, supplied, sustained by the Light, and I bless the Light. "Remember always: `One becomes that upon which he meditates' and since all things have come forth from the Light, Light is the Supreme Perfection and God-Control of all things. "Contemplation and adoration of the `Light' compels illumination to take place in the mind - health, strength, and order to come into the body - and peace, harmony, and success to manifest in the affairs of every individual who will really do it, and seeks to maintain it. ... "If you will practice this exercise faithfully and feel it in every atom of your mind and body, with deep, deep intensity, you will receive abundant proof of the tremendous activity, power, and perfection that abides and is forever active within the Light. When you have experienced this, for even a short time, you will need no further proof. You become your own proof. The Light is the Kingdom. Enter into it and BE - at peace. Return to the Father's house. After the first ten days of using this exercise, it is well to do it three times a day - morning, noon, and night." See Godfre Ray King, Unveiled Mysteries, 3rd ed.

I am come this day in the radiance of my beloved consort, Lord Zadkiel, to charge into your world a mounting understanding grace concerning the use of the sacred fire. As I am speaking to you this morning the crystalline light rays of Archangel Zadkiel have intensified a matrix within this room designed to give you greater comfortability and grace in moving about in these dense spheres where so much Light is needed to penetrate that substance which mankind has misqualified. By placing their attention upon wrong things mankind have as it were glued themselves to human concepts. Consequently, they find it to be a most difficult problem at times to extricate themselves from those outer world conditions which surround them. The Great Hosts of Light by their tangible service to life manifest hope to mankind, hope that will free them from the oppression and shadow of enclosing darkness. May they be instilled thereby with the desire to weave in peace the immaculate pattern of their own destiny and find that harmonious expression which will enable them to be true Sons and Daughters of God. Beloved ones, the magnificent etheric temple of our Lord Zadkiel remains today over the isle of Cuba as a great focus of transmutation. It is, of course, most regrettable that conditions below on that beautiful island should be so much the result of mankind's desecration of the great Light of God that beats and sustains their hearts. I trust that you will understand that the angels of the violet fire are very active throughout the world. Yet, due to the misuse of human will we have not been able to free the people of Cuba from the intensity of the crystallized control of the communist forces which today black out almost completely in the minds of the Cuban people the true understanding of their being. Mankind today have demonstrated entirely too much apathy and lethargy concerning this desecration of Light near the bastion of freedom in America. It is also regrettable that the karma of this apathy must descend upon the innocent. And we hope, therefore, that mankind and especially those enlightened chelas of the Ascended Masters will awaken before it is entirely too late and use with greater intensity the violet flame from our temple upon the Cuban people. This action is so needed, beloved ones. It is so necessary to have advocates in human form who will faithfully make the calls for the release of that energy to dissolve and purify the recalcitrant energies which would thwart every holy purpose. We have enough energy in our focus and retreat, beloved ones, to release the people of the whole earth, if it were called into action. Do you not think it lamentable, beloved ones, that mankind do not call the Light into action enough? The calls for the violet flame, invocation after invocation, made by those blessed ones who hear my voice are so much appreciated. Beloved ones, it is necessary that the number of individuals be increased who will give these decrees rhythmically, faithfully, and sincerely to the light of God for the release of that energy that will free the world from all the oppression of the ages. Your recent convocation held here in Washington was rewarded by the efforts of men embodied and ascended and by the angelic hosts with a tremendous outpouring of divine love which cannot be measured by human standards. As a result of this love there is an intensification of spiritual power upon the planet. Yet many of those cancerous centers of human forcefields of misqualified energy have remained and continue to blight the body politic of the world, and the communist hordes continue to drive their aggressive intentions toward the people of America and the free world. These conditions have not been altered significantly. However, there has been a great strengthening that has taken place among the democratic peoples of the world and this is well and good. There has also been accomplished one significant act for the peoples of Russia, a stirring in many of their hearts of faith in the deity. Many today are secretly awakening to their individual need to pursue some measure of spiritual devotion. Therefore, rejoice that fruition has come about as a result of this class and that many people have been the beneficiaries thereof. We trust, then, that you will gratefully understand how this has been accomplished and prepare yourselves for a new thrust during the July class. If you will consider the power that has been given unto you, you will realize that it will be possible at that time to cut free the people of Cuba and the world, to a far greater degree than they presently are, from the domination of forces which have but one end, to deprive them of the glorious liberty which would permit them to understand how to worship God in freedom and in truth and find thereby the freedom and brotherhood of Christ expression which the Great Law requires. Beloved ones, not since the passing of the righteous Abel (Gen. 4:8) has so much discord been thrust upon humanity as has been unleashed during the past few decades on earth. The scene currently being dramatized in the world arena may be likened unto a great threshing floor, and mankind need the violet flame as never before. Therefore as I am speaking to you today I am asking the violet flame angels to take our entire momentum of the violet flame to convey it to all portions of this planet as a mantle gossamer thin, and yet so potent and so powerful in radiation that it may enfold and seal the earth in a violet flame cape for such a time as the Great Cosmic Law will permit. This will start a dissolving action in many parts of the world which hitherto has not been accomplished. This widespread blessing will mean a temporary release from our beautiful temple of much of the precious energy which we have retained here for centuries. These energies will return to us in less than a fortnight accumulating as they return the devotion of all those who shall have made calls to the violet flame during this period. Thus we shall gather an even greater bastion of Light to our forcefield. We are spreading abroad for a time this blanket of violet flame in the name of beloved Saint Germain in order that more people upon earth may receive that precious outpouring which my beloved Zadkiel so longs to give to mankind. I trust that you will understand that I have spoken calmly to you this morning and yet objectively and that our objective is to bring greater freedom to the hearts of mankind, that happiness be spread abroad, and that an intense action of divine love be established upon this planet, perhaps not always tangible to the physical eye yet felt as a great release of comfort and healing within the hearts of the people, freeing them from those pressures which have far too long held them in icy grips. Beloved ones, great hands of light are spread abroad over the earth. May the earth be blessed for beloved Virgo and Pelleur have so long served mankind, and now under the blessing of beloved Helios and Vesta, your own beloved Saint Germain and Portia who may be thought of as the God and Goddess of Freedom for this earth, although beloved Portia is the Goddess of Justice, as the consort of beloved Saint Germain she embodies the quality of freedom in justice together with that of beloved Virgo and Pelleur. May this activity of the violet flame and the violet flame angels be magnified over the whole earth. I, Holy Amethyst, in the name of my own being and in the name of Lord Zadkiel, bless you and thank you and bid you good morning. The following decree is given for those students who desire to cooperate with beloved Holy Amethyst in the areas outlined in her dictation to the Washington group on April 21. All true lovers of the light will recognize the monumental opportunity afforded by Lord Zadkiel and the Great White Brotherhood at this juncture of the cosmic timetable to the mankind of earth. We pray, therefore, that you will offer your energies to them unceasingly during the remainder of the two-week period of their service and that you will sustain your violet flame momentum through the July class that we may together forge ahead to break the chain of oppression which holds the Cuban people in bondage. To the victory of the Light we commend your energies. O VIOLET FLAME, COME, VIOLET FLAME! In the name of the beloved mighty victorious Presence of God, I AM in me, my very own beloved Holy Christ Self and Holy Christ Selves of all mankind, I call to the heart of beloved Archangel Zadkiel and beloved Holy Amethyst, beloved Saint Germain and beloved Portia, beloved mighty Arcturus and Victoria, beloved Virgo and Pelleur and beloved Omri-Tas to saturate the earth and all thereon with enough violet fire to break the momentum of all oppression, free the Cuban people and all under communist control from the forces of darkness, and transmute all misqualified energy pitted against the defenders of freedom. In thy name we decree it. O Violet Flame, come, Violet Flame, Now blaze and blaze and blaze! O Violet Flame, come, Violet Flame, To raise and raise and raise!

Beloved I AM! Beloved I AM! - Copyright by The Summit Lighthouse, 1963 ****** Chapter 18 Beloved Kuthumi - May 3, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 18 - Beloved Kuthumi - May 3, 1963 IMMORTALITY Corona Class Lesson 41 Alpha/Omega "I AM the Beginning and the Ending" To the Children of the Light of Alpha and Omega - Alpha and Omega! What names to stir the heart and the ancient memories thereof! Beloved ones, the flame of their Life within you is immortal! Man, as a manifestation of God individualized, ought not to be thought of in terms of finite beginnings and endings - yet men are prone so to do. Never let your hearts be troubled, little ones, for my statement "I AM the Way" can be applied to many of life's problems, mysteries, and requirements. God is indeed the way to adjust every condition, to produce all perfection, and to provide the power to cope with each situation as it arises. Atomic energy seems so powerful to men, and yet divine power is infinitely greater, possessing the capacity to roll up the universe as a curtain{43} and to spread it out again in shining splendor. "Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the LORD of hosts."{44} All tests, trials, and initiations, together with everyday karmic experiences, come to the disciples of the Word in order to prepare them for eternal Life. Although the children of Light already have that Life within them, in order for its magnificent power to enter into and then transcend their finite nature, all that is mortal, all that expresses inharmony must first be transmuted so that the full glory of the flame of immortal Life can be safely applied to the mighty God-vested soul of Light's potential in each lifestream. Would it not be a great pity to infuse eternity with humanly created discord? The God of Love is too firm and too perfect to thus risk the sacred, chaliced treasures of universal Love; hence, by God's great wisdom, the way of the Tree of Life is guarded by "Cherubims and a flaming sword" from him who yet profanes his spirit by sinful and unholy acts and would, if allowed, "put forth his hand, and take also of the flame of immortality from the Tree of Life, and eat, and live forever ..."{45} As we have so often told you, it is not a sense of sin that we would develop in the sincere seeker for Godliness, but rather a sense of holiness which like a vein of gold is hidden in the heart of the earth. The spiritual alchemy of Life will raise the sincere who, in purity, are willing to press toward the mark of Christhood for the prize of victory until all that is of the human is changed by the glorious golden fire-ring of heaven into Christlike qualities. So long as the mind is steeped in a sense of sin and error, it is difficult to transfer to the soul the immortal sense. Beloved, my statements are actually Life, and Life-giving, although they may appear to be simple; for they embody the law of eternal Life which is able to heal you as you drink it in. Unless you are willing to become as a little child and enter into the kingdom of heaven through the doorway of simplicity, you may never find the Way, though you pass through a range of many embodiments. Many continue to search the scriptures because they think, as they have been led to believe, that in them they will find eternal Life;{46} yet it is the very scriptures that testify of me as the messenger of the universal Christ consciousness.{47} This consciousness is the illumination of the Holy Spirit in which all must personally share!{48} The depths of God's love and wisdom are to the present hour conveyed to hearts of goodwill who make consecrated application to the heart of heaven. The door of communion is never shut, for I AM the door that opens in response to the quiet supplication of the loving heart for more Light, until at last each living soul stands face to face with his own God-identity. Heavenly light can be drawn forth or, as we say, `magnetized' through the power of illumined, God-directed vision. Those who are willing to purify others as well as themselves and approach thereby the throne of grace with loving petitions for all children of Light will find a greater outpouring of forgiveness manifesting for themselves ("Forgive us our debts in the same manner and by the same measure with which we forgive our debtors"{49}) and a further amplification of divine opportunity for service which will prove of great assistance to their spiritual progress. In order to properly magnetize Light, men must be pure in heart. Remember, the pure in heart are blessed with the vision of God.{50} With purity and consecration of spirit, then, hold the vision of your being (visualize yourself steadfastly) surrounded with immortal Light. Such imaging can provide an immediate quickening of God's light through your physical form or at least start the process (spiral) at inner levels (in the etheric body). In any case, the call will compel the answer into eventual manifestation, if the student of heaven's law will believe in full faith in the power of the Word and persist in maintaining continuous attunement with the divine purpose of his life - which is to realize the immortality of the Great I AM within his soul. Men must desire immortality more than all else and cherish their own mighty birthright if they are to attain conscious immortality in the here and now. Although the silent flame of identity blazes on the hearts' altars of all children of God, the soul must assume this flame unto itself by the sacred ritual of internalization. The difference between the ascended Sons of God and his unascended children is precisely the difference in degree of internalization (assimilation) of the threefold flame by the soul. For all who are of God are endowed from the beginning with the flame of conscious immortality and actually retain the nascent Power, Wisdom, and Love of ascended beings within the mighty flame of Life that beats their hearts. When Nicodemus came to me by night long ago, I spake unto him, saying, "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."{51} He, supposing my words applied to a physical reentering of the womb, remained puzzled by his literal interpretation of this concept. But I spake of purification through the rebirth of water (Mother) and through the quickening of the spirit by the sacred fire (Father) as being necessary for the soul to reenter the consciousness of Alpha and Omega (Divine Principles of the `beginning' and the `ending' personified in the `Father/Mother Elohim') whence he is come and into whose kingdom he shall go.{52} This rebirth by purification through the `waters' and the `fires' of Life is the means to enter in to the Holy of Holies of thy I AM Presence. A progressive understanding of the Word and spiritual revelation in subsequent embodiments has since revealed to this blessed soul the truth of my statement. Spiritual men and women of today recognize that their God-identity is a mighty rushing wind{53} of Power dominated by glowing, infinite Wisdom and saturated with radiant, holy Love without limit. Souls of vision are universally coming to realize the significance in their lives of the mysteries I taught to my apostles and disciples in secret and in parable. It remains for the individual to acknowledge that God is in him and that in truth his identity includes - in the totality and oneness of Being and in the externalization of the flame of immortality - both the Son of God (his Holy Christ Self) and the God of very Gods (his I AM Presence). The words I AM embody this concept; for even when man declares, "I am," he is affirming below the very nature of his divine being Above. Thus, in the daily use of the verb "to be" he is declaring his existence and his reason for being - to integrate with the Be-ness of God and to know the bliss of the "I AM" consciousness. It is, therefore, blasphemous to deny the power of God by using the various tenses of the verb "to be" in order to lay claim, by the power of his name, I AM, to lesser human qualities. When you say, "I am sick, I am weary, I am bored, I am angry, I am afraid," you empower these conditions of relativity with the light/energy/consciousness of the One whose name is I AM THAT I AM. Why not affirm, instead, the immortal truth of Being? "Lo, I AM God in manifestation everywhere!" is a far more accurate statement of your true divine Selfhood. This statement alone, repeated many times a day as a flowing mantra and a song of the heart, will swallow up the petty negatives that tear down your spirituality. The immortal sense works wonders: It is magic, it is spiritual alchemy, it is divine Truth, and it assists the multitudes in entering the kingdom of God. When this wondrous sense of well-being, in reality a manifestation of the Father/Mother consciousness of Being, takes dominion in you (by the power of the Holy Spirit in both form and formless wonder), the Sun of Righteousness (your beloved Holy Christ Self) will come into your temple with a holy light in concentrated, consecrated radiance, blazing with the full intensity of the Godhead all around you. And lo, a universe is born! Man is "born again" in the rebirth of Truth. And the LORD God once again beholds in man the creation of that Good which He made because it is Himself. The weaving of the garment of conscious immortality must be achieved here and now while you are yet in human form, else the plan of heaven for which your soul took embodiment long ago cannot be fulfilled. Therefore, adore your God Presence daily. Give thanks for all that you have and are. Praise and bless Life for its permanent gifts, and in so doing, find release from all the sense dogma of the ages which has surreptitiously established opposition to Truth and filled the spirit of man with an oppressive fear. Lift up your eyes to the reality of the Light of God which is everywhere and feel the radiance of the Light enfold you. Feel that Light penetrate your being as immortal Love reaching into the very core of your being - physical, emotional, mental, and etheric. This blessing shall manifest to quicken the vibratory action of these four lower bodies until the power of the three-times-three descends from the tri-angle of tri-une Be-ness: the Father (the Mighty I AM Presence), the Son (the Holy Christ Self), and the Holy Spirit (focused in the threefold flame, which establishes the unity of the soul with God). Truly, the Light of God conveys the Power, Wisdom, and Love of the Trinity into the outer dimensions of selfhood, and the victory of that Light overcomes the world. The unity of the Holy City, the New Jerusalem which lieth foursquare, and the holy tri-unity is a consummation of the seven holy lights blazing in the temple of being.{54} Thus, the infinite cycles of expression are fulfilled in the blessing of Alpha and Omega, who represent thy going out from and thy return to the heart of God. "I AM Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last."{55} You are a child of the Light. As a son of God, and enveloped in that consciousness of "thy Christ, my Christ,"{56} you are not subject to outer conditions. If you will only fix this firmly in heart and mind, your blessed four lower bodies as receptacles of your thought and feeling vibrations will fulfill the Hermetic axiom "as Above, so below" I AM THAT I AM. So, by the Great Law outpictured in you "foursquare," you shall know the meaning of these words: "Thou art my beloved Son, this day have I begotten thee!" O immortal Love, seal them within the folds of Thy heart until they, too, are free, returning with me to that sacred altar of Light exalted where all joy is e'er in fulfilling Thy holy Will. I AM thy life in consecration, Jesus the Christ [Taken from the book version Corona Class Lessons] ****** Chapter 19 Beloved Kuthumi - May 10, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 19 - Beloved Kuthumi - May 10, 1963 IMMORTALITY Corona Class Lesson 42 Alchemy "Friend, Go Up Higher ..." To Earnest, Forging Hearts Who Would Know God Within - Weary pilgrims, throw aside your languor and plunge into the healing fountain of God-identity! Declare with the LORD of the whole earth, "I AM Good," and fulfill the fiat of the Creator's observation of the creation!{57} The soul that sinneth may die, but the just man shall surely live forever.{58} The sinful consciousness and the record of sin must be cast into the consuming fire of God in order that the good which man has wrought, and he himself, may live forever. Therefore, O House of Israel, come apart from your iniquities and walk uprightly with your I AM Presence!{59} It must be understood that immortality is an endowment synonymous and concurrent with Life - a birthright, not a usurpation. The overlay of wrong thought and feeling has too long veiled by an energy veil (a shroud of humanly misqualified substance) the Light that is the Life-giving essence of freedom for every atom in manifestation. Now, the quality of earnestness has its place in the fulfillment of your spiritual search and, together with the quality of forgiveness expressed toward self and others, goes hand in hand with that integrity of being which cannot be corrupted by the distortions of the mass mind. You deal directly with God within yourself; therefore, only through intensifying the oneness of your identity with him - so that you are constantly aware of God living in you as naturally as in the universe - can you obtain permanent reality and thus immortality. The guise of human creation is full of deceptions and runs so contrary to Truth that it would seem a simple matter for the children of the Light to uncover its lies. The reverse is true, for often self-deception is based on the seeker's own rightful longings for Good to manifest in his world as happiness. When the great spiritual realities of Life do not appear, many feel compelled to synthesize them and they compromise the divine plan, forcing it with their human concepts of how they think things ought to be. Or they sojourn for a while in a wilderness of deceptive self-rule where the very fact of their self-created illusion is cleverly concealed from their own perception. The mighty gift of immortality is not far from anyone in whom the flame of Life is manifest, for it is the bequest of God to each one made in his image. Mankind dwelling in the beauty of the forest often do not see it for their absorption in the trees. It is not our intention to destroy aught else but illusion itself through the conception (and reception) in man of self-governed perfection and holiness. Only thus is the curtain of mayic mist drawn back and the bright reality of Truth seen to be shining in pristine purity. When you perceive the truth concerning your own life, it cannot help but quicken your spiritual pulse. Mounting hope leads to enthusiasm for the divine plan. And the inrushing power of the Holy Spirit as a joyous anticipation calms and claims the heart in the noble interest of exalting the whole consciousness into a more radiant, divine manifestation. The "here and now" of spiritual experiences progressively illumines the tapestry of Reality that is carefully woven within the soul memory. This Reality is inherently a part of the God-identity (the Sun behind the sun) of each lifestream who is blessed by the power and grace of heaven. Your self-chosen yet God-appointed mission unfolds as an ongoing service of the ages; the purpose of your life is no longer isolated in a finite segment of experience called a lifetime. Expansion of Spirit's expression and an infinite self-awareness occurs; immortality is understood and magnetized in the unity of your own God flame. The magnetization of the life-force through the seven chakras is one of the functions of the flame of Life within you. Only by the invocation of the light of Alpha and Omega through application to the blessed threefold flame can the genuine wedding garment{60} of immortal love be safely woven. Adorned in the mantle of purity, the soul is escorted gently to the altar of consecration where the Great Initiator effects the union of the bride in Christ, anointed for the sake of cosmic progression on the road of immortality which leads to the Holy of Holies, the I AM THAT I AM. Your discovery of the flame of your immortality is not the revelation of a moment or even a lifetime. Yet, under the guidance of your Mighty I AM Presence and with the assistance of the Ascended Masters, you can hourly hasten the day when, because you are already sealed forevermore in Christ, having experienced the alchemical marriage, you are able to draw forth and magnetize the full power of God unto salvation. Then, through the ritual of the ascension shall you be permanently charged, not only with the golden flame of the crown of Christ-achievement, but also with your pure Christ-intelligence, the discriminating quality of the Godhead. Thy Father shall surround thee with his all-pervading love of the cosmos which he has made and placed in miniature expression in the threefold flame of your heart. Holding this goal for you in highest mind, I am commending you to the care of the Good Shepherd, your Holy Christ Self, offering you my assistance - together with that of my beloved and supremely faithful Jesus - poured out in limitless love and sealed in the heart of Wisdom's flame. To the wise immortality of divine Love, I commit the safekeeping of your being.

Such a period of rest can become a moment of exquisite Blessedness in which a glimpse of the Cosmic Plan may manifest. An interval of quietude can also be utilized to magnify a sustained feeling of gratitude, rising as a Pathway of Light and soaring beyond the stars. Over this beamed Light Ray of loving gratitude the Ascended Masters can and do pour forth the Energy required by the student body to maintain balance in these days of world peril. I cannot fully convey to you in words alone how very grateful Heaven is for your calls and how welcome they are to each Ascended Master Who receives your attention and love so diligently poured forth. During spells of personal tension a greater number of calls are made, it is true. But it is also true that in times of crisis greater assistance is needed! The current state of world unrest has been one of almost constant upheaval; therefore, the Great Law asks during each such rupture of the routine, that the wise among men remember to call forth the Radiation and Assistance of the Great Prince of Peace, Beloved Jesus. In India, the greatest masters make calls unto Him. Everyone who is perceptive will perceive the value in the Radiation of Peace, flooding forth as oil upon the troubled waters. The "plot", if it can be called that, which is hatched in centers of destruction, seeks to embroil mankind in constant turmoil, engaging their blessed energies in an all out struggle for survival. The purpose, if it can justly be called one, of this nefarious struggle is to keep men from obtaining personal freedom, and to keep the balance of power in world affairs in a constant state of flux, thus preventing stabilization and Freedom from coming into rightful dominance in the affairs of men. The Great White Brotherhood cannot defer responding to the many calls for assistance inasmuch as through these calls far-reaching plans entailing vast Cosmic Power, undreamed of by the world at large, have been marshaled into action. Beloved Ones, the Powers of Light have at their disposal an infinite storehouse of Protection and Perfection to be released in answer to your calls. Never let your Faith waver in response to the turbulence of the world. Keep your balance now while it is so greatly needed and thus offer the good of your own life stream to The Great Karmic Board to help tip the scales of Justice in favor of Truth and Freedom for all mankind. "Remember Lot's wife," but also remember the Parable of the Talents (Luke 17: 32; Matt. 25:14-30) and be willing, in the interest of Freedom, to bring your one or many talents into play on the side of Cosmic Righteousness rather than let them be buried in the rubble of a disintegrating Sodom. It is not our intent to foment discord or inharmony, but it is our Divine Right to alert the students to the need for order and discipline, rising to meet the present occasion, and then sweeping the world upward in a spiral of Christ Calm and Immortal Compassion. "I AM" the fullness of Light's Protection standing guard, SAINT GERMAIN ****** Chapter 21 Beloved El Morya - May 24, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 21 - Beloved El Morya - May 24, 1963 Folly is a shroud and the wise will shun it. The matrices of human creation are like mummies filling the tombs of past error. It is not the Intent of God to let Wisdom die, and, true unto their high calling, serving His holier Purpose, the Children of Holy Wisdom will be wiser than the serpents of lust and vanity which seek the destruction of the very elect. In the wise disposition of Ascended Master Law is the fullness of safety. Out of Heaven's Precepts are fashioned the safeguards for the attendant moments. Our responsibility, in relation to the holy battle, is to warn as well as to teach, to inspire as well as to direct; to appoint illumined and dedicated representatives among mankind of the various inner branches of Spiritual Government of this planet as well as to raise into the ranks of the Cosmic Peerage those worthy ones who have fittingly discharged their spiritual obligations. Unfortunately, with all men's getting, they have too frequently, as the sage of old commented, "failed to get understanding." Illumination's Flame is the means of quickening the pulse of individual Understanding. A most important point to be clarified is the tangibility of this and other Divine Flames. While it remains for Saint Germain to release the more technical knowledge of Spiritual Alchemy in advanced lessons of the Keepers of the Flame, I AM herein shedding some Light on the subject in order to give all who are receptive a means to appropriate this morsel of spiritual Enlightenment. A flame is twain in manifestation but one at the Source. The dual polarities of the negative and positive charge are but aspects of the One Power. By comparison, Blessed Ones, consider that you speak of the lead in a pencil as being hard or soft, but can you tell me where the one begins and the other ends? The relative sense can recognize, then, that the so-called negative and positive aspects of the Divine Current are related only to the direction of the flow of power as in a simple electrical cell. You know that lightning strikes often from the ground (the negative side) up to the positively charged cloud. This action of the lightning rising to meet the positive charge can be photographed. Its phenomenon in the physical octave relates to its noumenal aspect in Divine Law; and therefore, I trust that this graphic example will assist the students to retain in consciousness an image of the modus operandi of the Light Rays which they daily invoke from the Heart of God. The chela will then always recognize that when invoking the Light Rays into tangible manifestation, it is his responsibility to evoke in consciousness the needed aspiration (the negative charge) which will cause him to direct his attention upward to meet the "down flow" (positive charge) of inspiration. The descending Light Ray is not a Flame until it strikes the Earth; It consists first of Divine Energies charged forth as Light Rays which spring up as a Flame at the point of contact with the Earth. A Flame may or may not be tangible or visible to the physical sight, depending upon (1) Its rate of vibration, and (2) the qualification given It by the individual operator of Divine Law. Those who are able to "see" the so-called invisible as a result of experience and training will perceive the minute sparkle of Cosmic Light rising in the atmosphere and surrounding their forms when they invoke a Flame. However, those who do not "see" the Flame can easily feel the action of the Flame, either at the moment of invocation or at a later time when the effect comes into manifestation. The Flames of Healing, Peace, Adoration, Consecration, Illumination and Transmutation, together with Protection, may be specifically invoked. And when you feel the need for an immediate and general benefit you may call forth Rainbow Rays to manifest the full complement of exalting Divine Ideas. My present Pearl of Wisdom may seem a strange bit of First Ray instruction to those of you familiar with My direct approach, but I have felt compelled to take action to charge into human consciousness this invaluable "visual" aid which can become as a pinion of Power to bear you up on an "arc" of Victory while you go about your daily business and move among mankind, as well as during those devotional hours spent alone as a quiet time of meditation. Remember, as the call compels the answer, so the answer compels more calls ... and you really can't have one without the other. It is the Law. Faithfully, EL MORYA ****** Chapter 22 The Great Divine Director - May 31, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 22 - The Great Divine Director - May 31, 1963 The wisdom of Saint Germain and El Morya has been conducted into the forcefield of our students through the recent contributions of these beloved brothers in white through the Pearls of Wisdom. I am desirous of adding some comments: The advent of new concepts is always thrilling to the mind, yet the heart loves the familiarity of old and faithful ideas and forms. I am aware of the need for both stability in form and progress in technical-spiritual advancements, and I think the chelas recognize that the invaluable services of the Pearls of Wisdom are in their direct instruction and release of truth to those who may or may not be familiar with its many aspects. Some of these need to be reminded of the law and spurred onward by our almost daily "hello," while others are mastering principles of illumination entirely new to them. Some have but a vague familiarity with the ascended hosts, having no knowledge beyond the well-known religious figures of beloved Jesus, Lord Gautama, Mother Mary, Muhammad, Zoroaster and a few others among the saints. Beloved El Morya's recent contribution concerning divine flames was really inspired by my own request to him. I am certain that those of you who have found a more vital contact with these divine flames will realize that all such flames are never uncomfortable and do not consume the blessed lifestream using them. Their prime function is to transmit the qualities of the Godhead which they embody. And it is the appropriation of these qualities which is of such great benefit to the advancing disciple. The capacity of a lifestream to retain a charge as the result of his use of these flames can be explored by many with successful results. For example, a charge of the healing flame stored in the four lower bodies of an individual makes it possible for that one in an hour of need to release the accumulated charge into the world of another with most beneficial results. This charge can also be released into the chela's own world to produce marvelous results because of the care of preparedness. Heavenly treasures are deposited where they are immediately available to your blessed use, but you must make the necessary preparation and contribution of energy in order to have the benefit of that energy when you need it. It is perhaps an adroit observation but one sometimes ignored that in most terrestrial matters individuals recognize the need to invest time and attention in order to achieve desired results, but all too often people feel that spiritual progress should come into manifestation automatically. Actually, such progress does occur far more frequently than most people are conscious of, but lack of evaluation prevents the student from giving gratitude where it is due and receiving the fullness of the law of love in action. Thus the fullness of the blessing is not retained because its presence is ignored. Sometimes we hear the students musing during their decree periods and they ask themselves, "I wonder if the Great Divine Director really heard me." I can pardon this lack of faith, but the burning question is, can you afford to ignore how many more mountains you would move if you had the whole mustard seed? Many do not realize that faith can be developed through practice. Although it be the gift of God, it remains for men and women to appropriate that gift which lies so benignly in their own hands. The invocation and use of the flames referred to in recent instruction is a means of storing up charges of spiritual qualities, but these are also the means whereby the aspirant may transmute and erase certain deeply ingrained records of human creation which are resident within the mortal frame. The spiritual blueprint or cosmic diagram of life can always express to a greater degree where the human creation of the ages is burned up by transmuting fire. Some of the Christian writers of the dark ages laid great stress upon the use of fire by God as a punishment. This doctrine, remaining today in some religious sects as a threat of impending doom through fire and brimstone, has involved many sincere people in a vibratory action of great fear. In more modern circles the pendulum has swung toward an apathetic and somewhat liberal view of Christian morality. Let me tell you, beloved ones, that the middle way will bring the law into focus most clearly and thereby the benefits God intends all to share will not be denied to you. You do not wish to harbor your undesirable conditions, do you? Then use these most practical flames of divine purpose upon your precious four lower bodies and reap their benefits now and throughout eternity as you win your ascension thereby. It has been said that salvation is the gift of God, not works, lest any man should boast. Dear hearts, the gift of God must be appreciated and used. Men, in their too often apathetic and inconstant state of vacillation between mere pleasure seeking and degrees of religious fervor, do not obtain a norm of expression which would indicate to themselves just what their goals in life are. During the days of the Civil War in America, Harriet Beecher Stowe in her book Uncle Tom's Cabin portrayed the character of the little girl, Topsy, who declared that she was not born but just "growed." Unfortunately too many people today supposedly in a far more illumined state, have no better sense of direction concerning their aims and that for which they should ask. Well, let them one and all call forth illumination's golden flame and use it faithfully every day! As the Higher Mental Body or Holy Christ Self releases to the consciousness of the chela more of its direction to the facile pathway cleared by illumination's flame, each one will rejoice in his adoration of this flame. Remember these flames are the vibratory action and living presence of God in manifestation in your world. While God is a consuming fire, (Heb. 12:29) remember that his purpose is to crown you with the most elegant expression of cosmic victory that has ever manifested anywhere and which can never be consumed. I defy anyone to prove to the contrary. I think by his grace I have been given a more than ordinary view of the divine purpose and, I tell you, it is more magnificent than poet or artist has ever conceived in his most illustrious moments. Pray to continue in wisdom's ray. Pray to continue in wisdom's way. It is more than worth all your courage and devotion. I am holding your immaculate design in my heart. The Great Divine Director ****** Chapter 23 Beloved Jesus - June 7, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 23 - Beloved Jesus - June 7, 1963 "I AM", as a statement of Being, is the morning star to guide men's concepts through the firmament of Truth. Unless the Life in Man is God, It has no permanence, intelligence, power, nor sustaining virtue. The so-called ignorant fishermen, the common men, who harkened to My call, "COME, FOLLOW THOU ME!" were not of lesser intelligence than their contemporaries who remained bound by the roots of tradition to false systems based on human knowledge alone. Unable to respond to the Voice of Truth, which in every age waits to lead men beyond the veil into the holy Path of Discipleship, the ignorant sat in the seat of convention to scorn the childlike simplicity expressed by those who came to be counted among the faithful. But those who were responsive to the inner call of their own God Presence had no difficulty in accepting the Reality of My Mission and the Divine Power which I exercised - and thus is it ever with the true disciples of Christ throughout all generations. Millions have spoken of Peter's lack of faith which caused him to sink beneath the waves, but how many today or even in bygone days were able to stay afloat as he did, even while holding My hand? The promise that I gave to them of constant Faith, "The works that I do shall ye do also, and greater works than these shall ye do; because I go unto my Father," (John 14:12) was not for the moment, but a timeless truth of great spiritual import. Thus the Law requires that men and women of today begin with the faith of Peter and excel even the greatest achievements of My Galilean embodiment. Every one who pays allegiance to his own God Presence and so lives in attunement with his blessed Divine Self contributes to the Golden River of Essential Being and becomes thereby a strengthening fibre sustaining the planetary body and soul of the world. As the ages roll and time flies through the cosmic signs of the Yugas, spiritual possibilities are increased. For those who will, there is today a manifestly greater opportunity to express Christ Qualities than in the more difficult days long past, thanks to the spiritual reserve of Grace externalized by holy men both during and since My life as Jesus of Nazareth. Seldom do men today brave the lions' den, or the arenas of Rome; seldom do men face the dire threat of crucifixion before the multitudes. Tests which formerly centered in the physical plane have shifted into the realm of the mental and emotional. The observant will note that tortures and hardships endured by the martyrs of yesterday are felt today in the memory or etheric body of man. I AM desirous of alerting mankind, and particularly the students, to these signs of the times which are vital to the current hour, in order that more and more people may learn to avoid the pitfalls and snares which lay in wait for their souls and attentions. Supported by Transmutative Love, may all rise to render a Cosmic Service, completely oblivious, if possible, of the sinister vibrations which would harm the beautiful God Design of their true Being. The more advanced disciples today will have little difficulty in understanding the wisdom of this transmission of spiritual instruction. I AM hopeful that even the beginner, in reviewing this matter through the months and years ahead, will find with increasing understanding a new resistance to evil developing within his world and manifesting as a powerful fortification against the entrenchments of unnecessary and distracting thoughts or suggestions, as he proceeds calmly about the Father's business. The mass mind of the mundane and spiritually impractical who make the day seem one of gluttony and possessiveness, is unaware of the loss of the Immortal Soul Consciousness and Its longing for God and Divine Abundance. Men lose that God Consciousness through their wanderings in the byways of temporal attainment and satiety whereby they flaunt not only the laws of ethics and morality but also Spiritual Law in order to supposedly win for themselves some transient desire which is not the Will of God and more than likely runs counter to that Blessed Will. These people are unaware that the "mass mind" has become a graveyard of "dead men's bones" and that through their wrong attention they are "feeding" or keeping alive anti-Christ concepts which reach out like an octopus to seize the unwary in its claws, while discharging the inky black elements of obscurity, fear, doubt and negativism into the world thought. The Christ attributes of Faith, Courage, and Certainty of Purpose must replace every sinister suggestion and be the indwelling theme of those who would stand their ground and express the fulness of Christ Love in the face of each seemingly intelligent oppositional force which seeks to destroy every true Child of the Light. It must be understood that the sinister force, so-called, will use earthly loved ones or members of the same family, friends or even the negative side of the disciple's own nature in order to attempt to gain an anchor into the chela's world and render him impotent for the Divine Purpose. My forty days in the wilderness were spent in constant struggle against the accumulated sinister force of the ages. In fact, there were certain hours when the total momentum of all negative force ever generated from the beginning of time was turned loose at once upon Me as a test to prove My endurance under severest odds. I AM grateful for the rhythm of honest decision which I had sustained in previous embodiments and for all right action preceding My trial, for these did contribute to My victory. Yet it is certainly true that an honest intent today will suffice to ward off much of that which may be directed against you. Blessed Ones, e'en though these be days which also try the souls of men, ' "I AM' THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE OF THAT VICTORY WHICH OVERCOMES THE WORLD AND RISES TO FULFILL ITS MISSION, TO HEAL THE SICK, BIND UP THE WOUNDS OF THE BROKEN-HEARTED, AND UNIFY THE HEARTS OF MEN WITH HEAVEN'S IDEALS OF PERFECTION!" The world turmoil is presently very great, but ever so much greater is the reason why men should overcome the sinister thoughts of condemnation and judgment which may be beamed at them. Awaken, Dear Ones, to realize that if you have a mite of error within you, the sinister will try to amplify it by self-condemnation and by the criticism and judgment of others. In this way two or more fall victim at once to the force of malice, the one by judging and the other by accepting the judgment of another. Self-criticism too can be a trap to which the honest heart sometimes falls prey. Blessed Ones, God has not designed you in imperfection and it is the Reality of your God Self which has Eternal Life. All which belongs to sin, suffering and death is a part of the Adamic race which, through Divine Law, is transformed by Christ Grace and salvation without end. Truly, they who BELIEVE in the REALITY of GOD, of CHRIST, and of LIGHT, shining through all density, will be saved from "the arrow that flieth by day" and "the pestilence that walketh in darkness!" "I AM" Thy Life's Victory of the Light that never fails, JESUS THE CHRIST ****** Chapter 24 Beloved Mother Mary - June 14, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 24 - Beloved Mother Mary - June 14, 1963 The recent words of My Son, Jesus, released in such a flow of God's Immortal Love, have made, I know, a profound impression upon many so fortunate as to have received them. Yet, I knew each onslaught of human viciousness as it was directed against Him! In My own Heart, as if it were happening unto Me, I felt each straining of His Being against all that was not the Purity and Perfection of the God Mind. It is difficult for the uninformed who are somewhat ignorant in the depths of spiritual Truth, although they may have been well versed in ordinary theological and religious concepts, to understand the fullness of all the events in Beloved Jesus' life. Initiation, as a Divine Science of spiritual unfoldment, is not correctly understood by many whose knowledge has been shaped by miniature gleanings from many sources, some presenting unadulterated truth, some partial truth, and others teaching warped concepts bearing no relation to first-hand experience. The spiritual hunger of many causes them to grasp at straws, and so, even spoiled meal is eaten to assuage the pangs of a spiritual famine that is still far too great upon Earth. It is never a question of attributing malintent to the various sources of truth, Beloved Ones, for only the few deliberately add unto the things which are written in the Book of Life and Truth, but many do heed the voices of immaturity and surrender to a cloud of unknowing, ambiguity, and the "way that seemeth right unto a man"! (Prov. 14:12) For this reason I AM advocating, together with Beloved Jesus, that greater application be made to the Heart of your own Divine Presence for understanding in your quest for Truth. The Mighty God Power of your own "I AM" Presence will then flood your sacred Hearts with the fires of such spiritual fervor as shall unveil for you the mysteries of Life and Being. These, in turn, will amplify within you Peace, eternal Hope, and unshakable Courage in the face of every trial which life, karma, or justice may direct, as you press your search to find the Kingdom of God which is always within you. Crystal clear Truth will enable men to focus the powers of their Being and to be cut free from unnecessary drains upon their attention, thus reinforcing the initiatic potential upon this planet. To be a true Initiate is to serve the Cause of The Brotherhood without ceasing. How could I, in the brightness of knowing the Purposes of God and the extent of human hurt, ignore the plight of those who call unto Me in distress? Those able to rise above the vain consideration of limited self-serving will rest serene in the knowledge that God cannot fall to assist His Own Hands and Feet, His Own Blessed Heart Fountain of Love, wherever or in whomsoever It manifests. Such as these find the fullness of repose in the arms of divine, sustaining, strength as they serve to carry out the Divine Promise, even when face to face with entrenched or militant human self-will as it opposes the Truth of Being. IMMORTAL TRUTH sets aside human edicts by reason of Its inherent Nature. This Nature is not oppositional in design; rather is it benign, bestowing the blessedness of heavenly treasures and release from the fetters of unhappiness upon every part of Life. I do not relish using human examples and animal symbols, yet find the following illustration apropos and of easy assimilation by present-day humanity: It is not pleasant to deal with a hungry dog who bites the hand of his master who approaches to alleviate his hunger. A similar circumstance often occurs when the Good Shepherd, the Holy Christ Self, descends to feed the lambs of God who have strayed among the wolves of prey and temporarily learned their habits. It is reassuring, of course, to remember that ultimately the lion shall lie down with the lamb and every dumb beast be harmonized in the fullness of the Day of Grace. (Isa. 11:6) It is so needful for men to know that they cannot compromise with the Law of Grace. Either they are devoted to it sufficiently to seek to know the fullness of Heaven's Plan, or they prefer to walk in the ignorance of mass confusion. If they choose the latter course voluntarily there is little We can do except to stand in divine Patience, awaiting such new opportunity as they may one day elect to reopen to Us in order that We may render the assistance of Our Love. Knowing, as I do, the fervor of so many of the ones who have chosen to seek the Path of Initiation, I AM pouring forth My assistance and understanding Grace that all who ask may receive the abundance of their heavenly portion. Many still are confused over the existence of evil or malice in the world of form. It would seem as if they could scarcely understand the meaning of God's Gift of Free Will. Yet they must understand it, if they will correctly perceive the results of man's misconduct, and guard against the pitfalls encountered as temptation and trial in the world of form. It is lamentable in your octave, but true, that the quotient of misqualified energy has far too often supplanted Divine Intervention in mankind's affairs - so much so that they reap the harshness of error rather than the Mercy of Life. It is difficult for those who are not Initiates to understand the demarcation line between the Consciousness of Divine Reality and that of the outer world of cause and effect. Therefore many of Us Who have long served the Holy Cause join together now in the resolve to effect greater Enlightenment among mankind and, in one supreme effort, to fulfill the wondrous fiat of the Lord's Prayer which reads so clearly, "DELIVER US FROM EVIL!" When "evil" manifests everyone rallies to shun it, staunchly affirming, "My hands are clean!" Blessed Ones, the Earth as a unit, and all upon it, must join together in eschewing evil and accepting the accurate determinations of Divine Grace. Whether it is the naughty disobedience of a small child or the unfortunate childishness of a supposed adult which expressed the venom of evil and discourtesy, the vibratory action is equally distasteful to Heaven. How can men and women today who seek the understanding of Spiritual Truth remain in the consciousness of human viciousness? Loving Grace and Understanding must flow forth as naturally from you, Blessed Sons and Daughters of the Most High, as it did from My Blessed Son, ere you would claim His mantle. "Are ye able to drink the cup of which I partook?" This question is not asked in pride but in the humble assertion that they who are able will perform as He did and will reckon themselves My children forever. I stand today ready to assist the would-be Initiate to find the Path that leads to honest evaluation and recompenses to no man evil for evil. Many will attempt to bind up the wounds of the world and to clarify the meaning of spiritual Initiation and the methods currently needed to overcome the mental cruelty which lies in wait to devour the unsuspecting. Know ye, therefore, that it is truly high time the students be alert to all of these actions in order that GOD'S OWN GUARD be established hourly and men victoriously climb toward the Summit, undisturbed by outer hissing and the blasphemy of the carnal mind. I AM holding your hand as you seek to overcome the blasts of sinister temptation and the lies of mortal conception through the Mighty Purity of your own Blessed Divine Presence whose fiery Perfection is keeping clear the way to the Celestial City.

Box 1155, Washington 13, D.C. ****** Chapter 25 Beloved Saint Germain - June 21, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 25 - Beloved Saint Germain - June 21, 1963 If ever the CAUSE OF FREEDOM is to triumph it must find its CHAMPIONS! If men would be champions of Freedom, they must overcome their own personal problems and be able to cast their weight upon the side of Truth and Justice! In the interest of mankind's personal Freedom, in the interest of expanding the body of world servers of Heaven's blessed Purposes, Beloved Jesus and Mary have released appropriate thoughts and statements designed to illumine men concerning the perils of the hour and how to circumvent them. I desire to dramatize Their effort and make of Our combined releases a mighty focus to assist the Cause of Freedom. Men must understand that the four lower bodies of Man are like the four seasons through which the Earth passes, and that each of these blessed bodies is at one time or another in the center of a test. History declares how terrible were the physical sufferings of the Children of Light in past ages. With the refining of society's moral code and the enforcement of new laws of property and person, physical cruelty was all but abolished, and this accounts for the revulsion with which the "civilized" world views "uncivilized" physical cruelty today as it yet sporadically bludgeons the head of mankind in divers places. With the advent of psychiatry and new methods of probing the human mind, an era of intensified mental cruelty dawned, following a nightmare of emotional cruelty which swept the world during the frantic revolutionary periods of history. A more sinister form of human malice manifests in etheric cruelty whereby men attempt to pinpoint some unfortunate memory in the life of the victim and perpetually condemn such an one for all time. Sometimes such condemnation is audible, and at other times the sinister force will utilize either projection of thought or an uneducated, merciless conscience to deprive individuals of either Mercy, Forgiveness, Happiness, or Newness of Life. It must be understood that simply because one aspect of cruelty is prevalent during a given era, all other forms are not dormant. On the contrary, there is often a linking of these forms in tactics of brainwashing and personality control utilized in communist countries and behind the iron curtain. In the Name of God, HOW LONG SHALL HUMANITY PERMIT SUCH TYRANNY TO DOMINATE NATIONS AND PEOPLES! Can the world be truly Free so long as either religion, science or politics seeks to subjugate Man to those tenets that are not adhered to as the result of the exercise of his own Free Will? God would have men enjoy the air of Freedom and the Ascended Masters are determined to weld together the diversified and scattered elements of the Divine Body of Initiates, functioning in the many dedicated orders of this day, so that a new birth of Freedom may mean the emancipation of the whole world! People believe in the lie of co-existence because they do not thoroughly understand the aims and methods of those who would subjugate the Earth to dialectical materialism in all of its purposeless and fiendish sloth! Dear Hearts, that is just what it is, human sloth that refuses to throw off the yoke of tyranny, believing that it must co-exist with evil. That the world must someday be Free from every form of bondage is an accepted statement. I ask you, how shall this ever come to pass when the political forces of countries behind the iron curtain are working tirelessly to enslave the free world, and the "free" world dawdles? Locked in a life-and-death struggle, communism seeks, as their own leader declared, to bury the democratic nations of the world. How can free men sleep? Men of the hour are needed now! The dramatic and cultural channels of the free world have been more and more deliberately committed to the spread of immorality and sordid examples of human turgidity. It is time this stench were cast out as an unwanted traitor to the aims of Freedom. Do you suppose the people of Russia would desire to have such undermining filth divert them from the purpose of fulfilling their own objectives? Why then must Our own Beloved America submit? Why do not the free world and the churches of the free world seek the downright overthrow of all such calumny? I will tell you, Blessed Ones: It is simply because lines of economic supply are so linked to businessmen whose livelihood is related to products and services which destroy the youth, that well-meaning individuals do not dare to take a stand for the Cause of Freedom, lest they be deprived of bread, butter, or status in their respective communities. Now they may salve their consciences by stating that if they did not supply these demands others would, but in the day of judgment when all are called to account, this poor excuse will be of no avail. I AM more concerned, however, with the youth themselves who are the innocent victims of so much advertising control and perversion from the healthful aspects of wholesome man and womanhood. The Ascended Master Youth of America must set the example for the world that shall model spiritual pleasures as most enjoyable here, now, and forevermore! Do you see, Beloved Ones, that the stakes are very high in this battle for the minds of men? I have taken off my gloves in this release and fought this out, in the words of modern youth, "with my bare knuckles," but I know that every one of you who loves the Cause of Freedom will understand the need for Me to remove My diplomatic gloves and to put My firm attention on this problem that has been neglected by many for far too long. Initiation is for a purpose. It is not wrong to be prosperous and healthy, but, Beloved Ones, unless the world be kept tenable for the Freedom-loving people of the Earth, how can it remain a suitable place of Divine Expression, and how can the Golden Age manifest. Do you see, Blessed Ones, why mankind must be awake to fight for their own Freedom and for the Cause of Liberty? No one else is going to do it for you, and, as much as We would like to, unless you band together, increase your numbers, cast off your divisions and despairs, render your loving prayers and decrees, and MAKE YOUR DETERMINATION LIVE, you will be succumbing to the wilderness voices that seek to negate your mighty efforts on behalf of Immortality and the Cause of Freedom. Forward march in God's Name! Jesus blesses you, Mother Mary blesses you, and I AM standing firm with Them in this MOST HOLY CAUSE. The vigilant live as Christ did to set the example for thousands of years and for millions yet unborn!

Let Truth excel and error fade! Let Understanding flower! I AM endowed with Immortal Tangibility, transcending appearance and enduring as IMMORTAL PROGRESS! The many political and social freedoms which every school child ought to comprehend at an early age are buried in academic assignment, or remembered as mere grammatical form, until the written test is passed. Then they molder into an archaic past, to rise no more until recalled by threat or recital. The age of the log-cabin President, of the struggling soul, fighting seemingly insurmountable odds to acquire education, has passed. Today men and women of letters move on the screen of life unpronounced, somewhat faded images of their illustrious historical counterparts. The assembly-line education is part of the complications of modernity which do not seem to yield the spiritual progress or even the political and economic advantages which outstanding patriots in each century have envisioned for the tired, poor, and huddled masses, yearning to breathe FREE. Yet the words, "progressive" and "forward moving" are bandied about by men as though indicative of a true state of advancement, simply because of universal vocalization. In the midst of world turmoil and hollow promises of social reform, the calm Christly Wisdom of The Great White Brotherhood is released in a torrent of Divine Love. It moves to still the raging seas and invokes in the many hearts and hands raised in supplication, an Understanding of the how, and the why, and in what union men may assist the Divine Plan to be quickly fulfilled. Commencing with the date of July 4, 1963, at the hour of 7:00 p.m., E.D.T. (11:00 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time), mighty tides of Light shall be released to the entire planet, continuing for a number of months, not as yet determined by The Great Karmic Board. This release is subject to adjustment based on the receptivity of mankind. It is intended to activate a consciousness of Liberty in the more sensitive in a manner which will make it possible for a new burst of Freedom to fire the hearts of men. This action is purposed to cause men to ponder the responsibility of being their Brothers' Keepers. Beloved Saint Germain has released from On High, in a recent statement in the Pearls of Wisdom, an almost militant yet wholly Christlike attitude of fierce determination to let Wisdom and Love prevail in the establishment of God's Kingdom among men. For centuries preceding the birth of Beloved Jesus, the wise men and Magi looked for His appearing. In more recent times the advent of the Christ Consciousness as the universal expression of each new born child has been heralded in each decade by sages of pure Christ Truth. The Earth is now passing through the Gethsemane of playing host to some of the most destructive youth ever to be assembled at one time upon the planet, in all of her history. The waves of juvenile delinquency and human recalcitrance, the contagious and sorrowful disrespect of children for parents and even parents for children, is not a spiritual component to assist the unfoldment of the Golden Age, but, rather, a crucifixion of Divine Love upon the planetary body, given in the Name of Mercy, in order to once again afford those lifestreams - re-embodied from past ages of human infamy - the Opportunity of finding their Freedom and way back home. The wise and perceptive will, of course, upon learning these facts, respond with compassionate heart to My plea. I, too, have a strong sense of dedication to redeem those lifestreams who, for one reason or another, have not been able to accept Truth in the past and; therefore, in the Name of Cosmic Liberty, I AM opening and maintaining what may be called a Court of Lost Souls throughout the coming year, (July 4, 1963-July 4, 1964). The entire Karmic Board has agreed to serve to make special adjustments, not only for the above-mentioned, recalcitrant youth, but also for any and all from among mankind who feel that they are carrying an excess of karma and could find their Freedom more easily if the weight thereof were mitigated or lifted temporarily, in order for them to gain a new foothold. Mankind have simply to speak to Me in their hearts or write Me a letter setting forth the thoughts in their hears, dedicated first to Almighty God, The Father, and then to The Karmic Board of Cosmic Justice, and to Myself as Spokesman thereof. If you will place your letter in a metal dish and burn it with material fire, by Cosmic Law, Angels of Mercy will catch the thoughts of your hearts and bear them to Our Council in the interest and Name of Divine Mercy. EACH APPEAL SHALL BE HEARD, EACH ACT OF GRACE THE DIVINE LAW PERMITS WILL BE RELEASED IN PERSONAL DISPENSATION. Let us muster the forces of Light to combat the tyranny of impersonal human creation that has made a long night of personal tragedy and bondage for the people of this blessed planet. Let us cut the cords of human bondage for the people of this blessed planet. Let us cut the cords of human bondage and usher in such a wave of God-Freedom to all upon Earth that each new born child may breathe a different and holier atmosphere than ever before. IN THE NAME OF MERCY, KEEP ON KEEPING ON[ IN THE NAME OF JUSTICE, HOLD FAST! IN THE CAUSE OF FREEDOM LET ALL STAND ANCHORED AND IMMOVABLE! IN MY NAME RETAIN LIGHT'S CROWN FOR THE SAKE OF THE OPPRESSED AND IGNORANT, THAT ALL MAY PROGRESSIVELY ATTAIN A MORE PERFECT WAY! By Faith, let us move mountains, in God's Name, let there be Light!

Box 1155, Washington 13, D.C. ****** Chapter 27 The Goddess of Justice, Beloved Portia - July 5, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 27 - The Goddess of Justice, Beloved Portia - July 5, 1963 The oft-repeated tale of the unfortunate maiden whose life was forfeited in innocence - she having been falsely accused of stealing a string of pearls - is a classic illustration of the miscarriage of human justice. The figure of Justice holding the scales stood in the town square where she suffered her cruel fate. Her innocence was proclaimed by Heaven when a bolt of lightning struck the scales of justice, dashing them to the street and revealing within one of the scales a swallow's nest in which had been woven by the birds ... the lost string of pearls. Blessed Ones, may I remind that it is not the blindness of Heaven nor of the Goddess of Justice which convicts the innocent, but rather a lack of discernment and the concept of true equity on the part of mankind that does injustice to Justice. The existence of Courts of Last Resort and Courts of Appeal testifies to man's recognition that all administration of so-called justice, meted out by men, is not truly just. For this reason the Great Masters have always admonished, "Judge not." And yet, those charged by law with the responsibility of interpreting and administering those codes which have been enacted as means of maintaining orderly government upon Earth are, in most cases, acting according to their highest concepts of Truth. The latter, for the most part, do attempt to establish in their decisions and decrees those traditions which will make the rule of law a blessing rather than a bane. Mankind are often prone to criticize that which they do not thoroughly understand. Notwithstanding, progressive suggestion and understanding must replace ignorant faultfinding in regard to the necessary laws of the nations, which are indeed complex, being based as they are upon centuries-old precedent and the experience of many astute and sincere men and women. The rule of Justice is intended to be one of law, and the purpose of law is to secure the blessings of Liberty to all men and their posterity. Safety throughout the tenure of earthly life includes the rights of property and person. National law supersedes state law in the united community of states. International law ought then to supersede that of each nation and strengthen the bond of "World Equity." Men ought to gaze upon the phenomenon of LAW as the rule of Justice and seek to establish LAW as Justice. Come, now, let us reason together: When the Golden Rule is loved, understood, and obeyed by all, will not Divine Compassion, governing in each individual life, make the rule of law unnecessary? Likewise, will not this Golden Rule "Oversoul" act as a universal mandate to relieve the necessity of human law? Yet, woven in the great Temple Courts of Atlantis, where the magnificent spiritual inheritance of Atla ruled, some degree of Justice was administered as a public necessity by the High Priests of Atlantis. The intentions of men are weighed carefully by The Karmic Board, it is true, in meting out the Justice of Heaven, but greater by far than all human "well-meaning" are the results of men's acts upon one another. Of course, through misunderstanding and misinterpretation, many have suffered in a most dire manner at the hands of another whose every intent was good. Each case, then, brought before The Great Karmic Board requires the utmost skill in order to set before each lifestream and all parties to every case the greatest possible Opportunity to work out their individual destinies under Divine Guidance so as to afford the greatest possible degree of spiritual progress. O, mankind, in all of your hearts' cries for Divine Justice and for justification of yourselves, do you not realize that the best Gifts are obtained from God for the asking, and that through the just use of those Gifts you attain new and untapped treasures of your Infinite Inheritance? Do you not know that through obtaining from the Hand of Heaven such gifts as Wisdom and Justice (manifest as a spiritual sense of discernment) you can find greater happiness here and now and more glorious Spiritual Freedom through the unfolding of the Divine Plan for you? So many call for Justice, yet upon themselves practice the most frightful deceits! Honest evaluation of your Immortal, God-given Treasures, which are administered by Heaven without partiality or favor, will cause you to seek your own portion of God's wonderful LAW OF JUSTICE. Mere words can never describe what a blessing you will obtain or how much Freedom you will enjoy when you cut yourselves free from the need to feel bound by human concepts. I do not imply that all human use of thought has evolved wrong concepts; I simply report that those which are not founded upon Justice and Truth are erroneous and those which are founded upon the Law of Righteousness are a part of Cosmic Honor and Righteousness. It is the real and "Divine Sense" of Heavenly Justice that I would inspire within you, the feeling of security that rises in the Hearts of those whose every thought and deed can echo the inscription upon the coins of the United States, "IN GOD WE TRUST." O, in the Name of Cosmic Justice, let men and women hourly reiterate their faith and trust in God, and let them do so in the spiritual awareness of the vibrant Reality of Cosmic Justice, permeating the Universe. Let the Divine Idea be your mandate of "Cosmic Independence" and emancipation from all sense of the false and unreal.

Box 1155, Washington 13, D.C. ****** Chapter 28 The Goddess of Mercy - Beloved Kwan Yin - July 12, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 28 - The Goddess of Mercy - Beloved Kwan Yin - July 12, 1963 A pact of Divine Mercy exists between God and man. This contract of Mercy is not dependent upon outer conditions either for its establishment or for its continuation. Although the responsibility of administering both Justice and the Divine Gift of Mercy rests in the infallible wisdom of The Great Karmic Board, mankind do not always fully realize the essential fair play of Heaven, operative in every case. Mankind's limited comprehension of their relationship to God founded in Divine Law has imputed error to the operation of Cosmic Justice and for this reason many have, in a state of ignorance done that which they would never do in the Light of Divine Truth and honor: They have expressed anger against the Deity. The prime cause of human misjudgment is a lack of emotional control which frequently impels individuals to make decisions "on the instant" based on their feelings whose range of expression may vary tremendously. I AM desirous of increasing the understanding of all those who seek enlightenment. Then as the knowledge of God and His laws covers the Earth, "as the waters cover the sea," (Isa. 11:9) that harmony shall also extend to pervade the world of each individual. And this beauty and glory which is of Heaven Itself shall expand over the whole Earth, because it is the Light of understanding - "which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." Now, certain events occurring almost simultaneously with this release are impending which could pose dire consequences for the whole earth unless these be mitigated by Divine Grace called forth by mankind through prayers, affirmations and decrees either on time or ahead of time: Information which I released to the Goddess of Liberty's Freedom Class in Washington through the Beloved God Meru alerted many of the students to the existence of this plight, but I wish to repeat My admonishment here for all in the field in order to add the momentum of their loving attention to the needs of the hour. I prefer not to elaborate on this matter except to inform the students that a monstrous plot has already been hatched in Peking which is, of all dangers that have ever threatened mankind, the most insidious. Remember that world science has made possible the extending of destruction to far corners of the globe, and evil men bent on world domination through subversion of Self-dignity still live on earth in positions of temporal power. The talks presently being held in Moscow are an outcropping of the infamous plot I refer to, and mankind would do well to heed My release by renewing their consecration as never before in the Name of World Mercy! The Secret Service and all branches concerned with intelligence and safeguarding the Free Way of Life would do well to take renewed interest in internal affairs in China and its role as a world power. Greater protective measures than have ever been taken before are in order and I hope for the sake of humanity that these will be called for diligently by every student until tangible evidence of their manifestation is demonstrated. I AM naturally interested in all peoples of the world, for all belong to the one sheepfold, but I AM certain that racial and religious conflicts are not yet terminated. This has not occurred in part because there is yet too little religion - not because there is too much. Most of the world's religions are wholly constructive and, if carried to the ultimate, the spirituality induced by their teachings would be found great enough to meet the needs of the hour; and mankind would have no difficulty in approaching all the world's problems with calmness and understanding. Now, it is during the times of mankind's lack of vigilance, when the guard is somewhat down, that the curtains of shadow are drawn tightly and without warning. Remember the words, ' "I AM' the Guard." Your own God Presence is ever the Guard of all that is precious within you; yet you, as an individual occupying the Earth as your planetary home, have certain responsibilities toward maintaining that home free from the predatory viciousness of human destructive tendencies. I commend you then to Heaven's own Merciful Vigilance! The accompanying release of Beloved El Morya's precious "ENCYCLICAL ON WORLD GOOD WILL" affords the students and all mankind an opportunity of continually enhancing the climate of the world's spiritual progress and, in the blessedness of shortened lines of supply and communication, of entering more fully into an appropriation of the quality of Divine Mercy. Right use of Divine Opportunity can only bring a blessing to all and, beneath the canopy of Divine Love, raise the "four corners of the earth" and each individual closer to the Heart of UNIVERSAL PURPOSE and EXPERIENCE. Men's attentions are so often drawn to their own egos and to methods whereby they may serve the Causes of Heaven while still subtly glorifying their own human identity. Let them rather essay to understand that no greater link exists than that between Hierarchy and chela, and that in this precious bond of inestimable value there is never any loss of individuality but only that supreme identification with the Infinite Individuality of the Godhead. To maintain the "thread of contact" between all Hearts is the goal of all the precious Ladies of Light's Perfection, currently releasing Light on the path from the Summit radiance. The forward march continues and the so-called tension of Mercy is felt by all mankind. I AM always considered gentle by men and yet the impact of pure Mercy is ever the greatest catalyst to flood forth Justice, Liberty and Light to ALL. From the Temple of Heaven I AM radiating God's Mercy to you, KWAN YIN GODDESS OF MERCY ****** Chapter 29 The Goddess of Light, Beloved Amerissis - July 19, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 29 - The Goddess of Light, Beloved Amerissis - July 19, 1963 The struggle between Light and shadow is ever one of BECOMING! O, Dear Hearts, how wondrous is the process of passing through Initiation, when the Victory of success is perceived blooming upon the stalk of fulfillment. In order to move forward in Light's achievement you must always lay aside the sense of past failure, You must master the method of objectifying the Great Realities of Life and of minimizing the process of habitual response to mass stimuli which pull your precious energies downward. As you think upon the Great: Energy of Light that is in you, in your physical body, in your mind, and in your whole Being, consider the manner in which you are blessed by Light's Service. Bear in mind that without the Blessing of Light, Life would be almost devoid of meaning. This Mighty Blessing of Light is one of which most people are not conscious unless they are deprived of it for a while. I AM simply grateful to be One of Those chosen by the Godhead to amplify Light in the consciousness of mankind and I remain unmoved by their seeming failure to respond to Light' s stimulus. Still, I know so well that acknowledgment always produces intensification and awareness, whereby the Blessings to which attention is given are more glorious, more tangible, and of far greater value to the disciple. Dear Children of God, glorify Him more often for His wondrous Fiat of Universal Love which surged forth into the spoken Word, "Let there be LIGHT!" - truly LIGHT IS THE LIGHT which lighteth every man who cometh into the world - truly, "I AM" THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD! The needs of each student of the Light will always be met by the Light,. of that you may be certain, However, it is always necessary for each disciple to appropriate each release from Our octave by maintaining an attitude of expectancy, acceptance and gratitude, Would it not be ever so wise for each precious follower of Truth to maintain a conscious acceptance of all the Energy and Divine Grace released from his own Mighty God Self? Think, too, of the Mighty Blessings The Great White Brotherhood has bestowed upon all Life! As you observe the mad rush of people to and fro upon the Earth and consider the dissipation of their energies, do you not wonder that any permanent or constructive action is ever accomplished? You can easily prove how difficult it is for Us to reach humanity the moment you attempt to contact them with this Light, for the Energy required to penetrate the density of human thought and feeling is tremendous. After all, the human reflexes are "conditioned" to respond to outer stimuli and they are quite puzzled when the Mighty Power of Spiritual Light begins to descend in answer to your calls. In fact, they just don't know what to do about it. Does this mean that you should not make the calls, because mankind, in their state of inertia, are disturbed by the ensuing "change" in vibratory rate which takes place in their worlds? Oh, ne'er in all Eternity! Rather, INTENSIFY your calls, for any disturbance shows that the Power of Light is beginning to act, and that is just when they require the magnet of your assistance to literally lift them out of the lethargy of centuries of wrong action or inaction. So many people are hungering for something and they really do not know just what it is they are yearning for. It is a hunger for their own Divine Source and they are ashamed of what someone may think of their spiritual longings - actually ashamed to the point of denial of the Great Power of Life which beats their hearts - ashamed for the sake of some puny individual who himself will one day be brought to his very knees in the acknowledgment of Light's Perfection. Beloved, the Golden Flame of Illumination can sweep into humanity and flood their consciousness with Understanding which will completely melt the hardness of their feelings and the accumulated stubbornness of their intellects until the Mighty Power of Spiritual Light can effect. It's Blessing more completely within their worlds. Now, there is an action of the Power of Light which is yet a mystery to many of the students and I would like to give some clarifying instruction on that subject. Many students have noticed that sometimes when they try the hardest they seem to encounter the greatest impediments and this tends to discourage their efforts, Conversely, they have noted that when no significant effort goes forth, great progress seems to be made. There are many Laws interacting here and I do not wish the students to become confused. You must work out for yourselves the complete understanding of this knowledge through individual experience, but I shall assist you with some pointers in the right direction. First of all, NEVER, at any time, let up on your Blessed Guard or Protection. And further, do not cease to move forward into the Light no matter how much opposition you may contact. Remember, the Light of God never fails, and It must secure results, if you are faithful with your attention. Beloved Ones, every great teacher and follower of Truth down through the ages has stood against the viciousness of human creation and has felt the lash of human misunderstanding. People are so earnest in what they believe to be right that they do not hesitate to rush forth and spew out the full venom of human bitterness at their fellow men when their concepts are challenged, no matter how small the matter may be in relation to the whole. But the first tenet of the Law of Life is that Divine Love alone should be released by everyone, and in this spirit only should differences be settled. Thus great souls have been snared by their identification with human weakness, self-righteousness, and emotional imbalance, and they have failed to pass great Initiations when they stood at the very portals of greater Service leading to ultimate Victory. Remember, you are being tested for Mighty Cosmic Offices and the standards are naturally high. It is better to leave mankind tied to Earth's evolutions than to prematurely raise them to the Octave where the Cosmic Ring-Pass-Not would again thrust them to the realm of outer darkness, simply because the ritual of preparedness was not accomplished, and, like the five foolish virgins, they lacked the oil for their Lamps of Spiritual Illumination.{61} Do not rebel, then, Beloved Ones who seek to find the Way back Home - when the Mighty Law tests your metal in order to determine whether you are ready to take another step, rather rejoice, for great is your reward if you hold fast that which is good. When you call forth greater Light and the Blessed Messengers of Heaven answer your call, there is a descent of great Energy and Light into your world. By contrast the charge of Light's Energy is absent from those individuals who have, in place of Light's Protection, either consciously or unconsciously subjected themselves to those self-destroying activities of human creation. Thus those who have not the Light will, either by personal contact or psychic projection, rush in to seize the Blessed Energies bestowed upon you, which is the very Treasure of Heaven. This "vampire" activity must be guarded against, by the true chelas and they must retain their full momentum of Divine Protection against such negative influences emanating from misguided humanity and its sinister creations. Opposition may be impersonal, but when you carry the LIGHT, it is directed personally at you. Therefore, WATCH that you are not caught by the lure cast in your way; rather, abide in the House of Peace and Love, husbanding the precious fruits of Heaven and pressing them close to you, not as in a winepress of wrath, but as the cup of communion in honor of the New Covenant made wltb your own Mighty "I AM" Presence, the Ascended Masters, and the Spirit of Holy Light Itself. Expand your Light and. by Its inherent Virtue, defeat all erroneous suggestions that would rob you of Light's Blessing. Victory and Overcoming belong to the faithful and strong who are dependent upon God alone for their peace of mind, and the balance of Life abides in the Light gamered by each individual lifestream. Those who follow and express that Light shall not walk in darkness, but shall have and be the Light of men. Wise is the follower of God who maintains his Spiritual Balance. Constancy is so needed, and the wisdom to guard the Flame of Life which you now have until such time that you shall have drawn to yourself the blessing of greater worthiness. I know many have made mistakes, but I urge you not to be discouraged by them nor to permit the mass consciousness to deceive you into playing host to any feelings, thoughts, or acts not in keeping with the spiritual Grace of a Son of God. Let each right action on behalf of the Light serve to release the gravitational pull of fear and, by Mighty Tides of Light from God's Own Heart, bear you to the region of Grace where Victory holds each manes Freedom in His Mighty Hand. Vigilantly I AM yours , AMERISSIS THE GODDESS OF LIGHT Copyrighted The Summit Lighthouse, Inc. 1963 This instruction comes to you through the loving courtesy of the Ascended Masters' Darjeeling, India, Council of God's Will of which All the Ascended Host are members. ****** Chapter 30 Beloved Pallas Athena - July 26, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 30 - Beloved Pallas Athena - July 26, 1963 The recent, exceedingly mighty releases of those Dear Sisters of Mine Who have been so blessed by the graciousness of Heaven as to have the appellation of Goddess conferred upon them, has been a wondrous phrasing and out-pouring of Holy Truth. I desire to appeal, then, to all of you who are so fortunate as to have Their priceless words conveyed to your hands, to always deem yourself worthy (for God does) of assimilating each such Blessing and employing the knowledge contained therein in the interest of your Freedom, and the Freedom of the Earth. My Beloved Consort, The Maha Chohan, is so devoted to the unfoldment of Spiritual Comfort to mankind that He is at times wrongly considered almost harsh by some who have had casual contact with Him and His one-pointedness which has no room for mere mortal foibles. I, Who know Him so well, adjure all to consider the Truth of His Blessed Being. His Comfort is Eternal, for temporal comfort is no substitute for Infinite Reality, and is of no better quality than mere ephemeral objects which men trade in the marts of commerce. Yet it is well and good to extend little graces to one another, thereby expanding the Power of Happiness upon Earth. Good thoughts and deeds, like winged messengers of Divine Love, speed forth all over the Earth, conveying kindness and happiness to all whom they contact. Their virtue or true worth is calculated in terms of permanent Karmic Good, stored as the Treasures of Heaven in your own precious Causal Bodies. The Gifts which The Maha Chohan brings are without all money and price 'and the preparation of a receptive Heart ought, therefore, to consume your all. It is Holy Reason, then, that dictates in tones of Love and Truth the fact that the honest in Heart are willing to do more by far to spread abroad the Kingdom of God than they would ever do for mere commercial gain or profit! Those who are misguided but zealous individuals sometimes try to assert that the Kingdom of God is given without money and without price and yet those who dispense this information will always be found themselves to have their own requirements. Now I ask you, dear hearts, what has greater value than the Pearl of "Spiritual Great Price"? Misconceptions concerning the Law of Truth can block the flow of great Good into your world without your ever being aware of it unless these errors are called to your attention. Because We would remove every hindrance from the Path of all who travel Godward, We wish to supply you with greater understanding concerning the correct USE of Substance, because in that understanding lies a tremendous Blessing of Purification to the entire planet, extending even through the veins and arteries of commerce. Dear Ones, if the Great Golden Age is to become a Reality and soon, it follows of necessity that the common Source of Good must be invoked, and as a result of such invocation the radiance of Heavenly Treasure must manifest in tangible Substance! Now, The Great White Brotherhood has a branch devoted to the study of the erratic systems of human creation. It functions for the sole purpose of devising ways and means to refute dangerous concepts and their subtlety, which results from the proximity of Truth and error. Because some good may exist in an idea, people too frequently extend wholesale acceptance to a mixed package containing some elements which are prone to produce unhappiness and discord. We guard the true student carefully, but expect all to do their part by keeping an open mind and heart, yet holding fast to common sense, Christ Discrimination, and Divine Grace, so that Truth will always abound. Through The Summit Lighthouse, We periodically checkpoint items of interest in spiritual matters of deep concern, for We know that those in the Heart Center of that activity will print Truth, regardless of any peril to themselves. It has been well said that "THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL." (I Tim. 6:10) Dear Hearts, what is the truth in this statement? I can tell you that money itself is not evil for it represents bread to the poor and shelter to the homeless. Money represents reward for honest effort, yet it has been diverted as ill-gotten gains for those not entitled to it. The statement that the "love" of money is the root of all evil should be re-examined with deeper spiritual discernment, and disassociation from former interpretations which you may have had. This passage of Scripture has been greatly misunderstood in the past solely because of a lack of spiritual discernment. Dear Ones, to charge money with LOVE is Godly and not an error at all! The real meaning of the phrase is not altogether obvious and yet for the sincere of heart it is simple to grasp. Its implication may be had by inserting a word in order to understand the truth which then becomes more and more apparent as the thought is pursued in the Light of Divine Illumination. This "key" is embodied either in the word "retaining" or "grasping" and, therefore, Truth would recreate this statement for you thusly: "THE LOVE OF GRASPING OR RETAINING MONEY (FOR SELFISH REASONS WITHOUT REAL PURPOSE) IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL"! Therefore, it is this false, possessive love of money that is the root of all evil. Why is this so, Beloved Ones? Simply because the hoarding of money dams up the flow of world need in the already clogged marts of commerce and in the banking systems. Let the lifeblood of commerce flow freely as God intends and let the needs of men be met, but above all do not defraud the needs of those who serve the Cause of Freedom! To bless money as the medium of exchange, and call for its purification is a great service of Light and will only bless everyone who participates in such constructive action. Dear Hearts, it is a sinister lie which, by citing the Truth that all Divine Gifts are Free, purports that people do not need to support constructive organizations. Did not God give all things for Man's well-being upon Earth, and yet does not the Law allow men and women the safety of property and person? When the early Christian Church had all things common, and great spiritual progress was made, the devotion of the people made them to sell all that they had and lay it at the Apostles' feet. However, those such as Ananias and Sapphira, who were unwilling to lay down their earthly all before the Altar of Truth and conspired together to defraud the Church, received their reward. Others who recognized Substance as universal supply, entrusted to their wise use, gave freely and prospered thereby; God added daily to their lot with wonderful healings and blessings. (See Acts 5: 1-16) Thus is the prophecy fulfilled: "For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it" (Matt. 16:2 5). With the world spending billions in defense of physical properties which they can never live to inherit except through spiritual evolution, would it not be wise to know the Truth, and be Free of human ideas concerning Life's abundance which Heaven intends to give richly to all whose hands and hearts make them ready to receive it? "The meek shall inherit the earth," and the "meek" are those who, in advocating Peace, understand the need to give their "whole" being (WHOLE-I) to the Cause for which the Blessed Masters have given their full measure of devotion, and continue to do. Indeed, it is better by far to give then to receive. NEVER, IN THE HOLY NAME OF TRUTH, shall We consider it anything but right to maintain the earthly "focuses of Light," established by the Great Ascended Masters, with an abundance of supply and opportunity, withholding nothing which will expand the Word of Truth and Blessings of Light to the entire Earth. Blessed Ones, are not mankind's places of eating and drinking oft supplied with beauty and sumptuous decor? Ought not Divine Temples and they who minister therein to have the fullness of supply to use in widening the borders of God's Kingdom? Would it not be a great Blessing to have free and unrestricted use of television and radio as a media for Ascended Master Law? Think how the airwaves today are filled with commercialization, to which mankind respond and release their purse strings with never a thought. Let men dare then to refuse to uphold Truth and spiritual endeavors all over the world, and see what a harvest of shadow would be reaped post haste! When the economic energies of the world are channeled more powerfully, instead of less powerfully, into the hands of all constructive endeavors which are serving the Light, blessings will abound to the good of all. Now, is not the hour to slack off attention to Truth and Duty, but a time to move forward in lighting the Banner of Truth for all. Expand the Light of spirituality and you expand your own Blessings, Dear Ones. Watch how you can propel life forward in the future as you have so nobly done in the past. Efforts have been valiant but not intense enough to stop the tides of aggressive intent! Remember for every Grace you bestow upon Life the Ascended Masters must match it ten-fold! I have spoken here upon a most important subject which can expand the Blessings of everyone who loves Saint Germain and the Holy Cause of Freedom, if My words be understood and heeded as I intend them to be. You who are privileged to live in the "Free" world, have the Freedom to assemble, to print, to speak and to bless the religion of your choice. With the sinister "peace" offensive presently being launched, and the inroads of militant dictatorships seeking to rise at home and abroad, you must vigilantly defend and expand the torch of Light you hold. Let the imprisoned lightning of the airwaves carry the Message of Ascended Master Law from pole to pole in future days; let Mighty free presses roll to teach the Truth to all nations! Expand the Blessing of modern communication systems and facilities to magnify Truth, and empower that Truth with your very Life's Energies to silence forever every form of material error! In God's Holy Name let none ever again complain because they have given for such purposes, rather let all keep the sacred trust, while life and breath remain, of giving from the Heart that which Life first gave to them. So shall spiritual Treasures be stored in Heaven while the Blessings of Light are unrolled upon every child who walks upon the Earth beneath. So shall the golden templed cities of the Golden Age rise, and the Gold Standard shall once again rally all in Illumined Obedience to The Great Central Sun. So shall Legions of Light march the world around in defense of Truth and Righteousness. That none may be empty but all filled is My petition.

Pallas Athena, Thy Truth be Our Sceptre of Authority! And in full Faith I consciously accept this manifest, manifest, manifest (3X) right here and now with full power, eternally sustained, all-powerfully active, ever-expanding, and world-enfolding until all are wholly Ascended in the Light and Free! Beloved "I AM", Beloved "I AM", Beloved "I AM"! ****** Chapter 31 The Goddess of Purity - August 2, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 31 - The Goddess of Purity - August 2, 1963 O, Holy Purity, what Freedom is held within Thy Essence! Unfortunately, some men actually regret the purity of their past expression to almost the same degree that others lament any impurity that has occurred within their consciousness. What contrasts and inconstancies abide within transient human consciousness! Let us take a clear look at Purity: Is not Purity Freedom from pollution, just as darkness is but an absence of Light? What is it that creates shadow or impurity? Dear Hearts, two causes acting simultaneously are responsible for the creation of all impurity. These causes are ignorance and the misqualification of energy. Surely, if ignorance did not exist and the fulness of Divine Illumination abode in each one's consciousness, mankind would not keep on misqualifying energy, for the knowledge of the Greater Law would secure their lifestreams against the inroads of all known imperfection. Banish ignorance, then, and you have extinguished the villain in the piece. The question which always arises is that of traditional misconceptions. The words of the Scripture declare that, " ... the whole world lieth in wickedness." (I John 5:19) It is but a wickedness of Ignorance, Dear Ones. When millions deny Truth, many men are afraid to affirm It; for it takes great courage to defy human tradition, long established in human thought and feeling. Yet it is these very burdens of misconception that are responsible for so much human discord, and their continuance has remained to hold sway for many generations. Likewise, fear has kept mankind bound for so long that I almost marvel that any at all have ever escaped the old encrusted human forms to become God-like. The fact that in every generation some have done so should serve as encouragement to all who seek for their own Freedom and for the Liberation of the planet. Let us take the factor of re-embodiment. Beloved Ones, millions of people have declared that because of early training and traditions observed during the formative years, they could not accept it as a doctrine; yet in Buddhist countries it is an accepted fact from youngest years. It is no more difficult for them to accept the idea of many lives than it is for the people of the West to accept the idea of "one life" which lives for a time, only to be forever extinguished, while a future eternity looms before men as either eternal hope or despair. God could never cast Himself in the role of a "destroyer" or blight men's happiness simply because of men's errors or misconceptions. Whether individuals have a memory of past lives or not, the fact remains true that all circumstance is governed by the Universal Law of Karma acting in succeeding lives, whose breaking dawn always brings a new hope for a more perfect appearing of Divine Happiness on the altar of individuality. Precious Ones, the Image of God is an Image of Absolute Purity and as this Purity manifests in the Christ Intelligence of your own God-Plan, it expresses naught but the fulness of Perfection. It must follow, then, that only Happiness, Victory, and God-Success will result from the outpicturing of this divinely-imaged Plan. What God has envisioned is what man should envision! With the Beauty of such pure beholding the fiat, "THE PURE IN HEART SHALL SEE GOD," BECOMES A REALITY IN INDIVIDUAL EXPRESSION. Truly this Man was the Son of God, truly this Man is expressing God to the Universe, even as the Sun shineth in The Purity of His Strength. Ought else is sorrow and but a reflection of the Real in the imperfect mirror of mortality. "Come, then, let us reason together," sayeth the Lord. Is not Purity the Greatest of Gifts, and ought not men to pursue Her as men ought to pursue Holy Wisdom, until the Divine Theo-Sophia is enthroned together with Divine Purity in the manifest Image of Overcoming Victory? This is the true Wisdom of the ages for all. It is right action in becoming God-Like! Your Ascension in the Light relates to your manifestation of the greater percentage of Life's Ascending Perfection, so that the Lord may lovingly say by Cosmic Law: "Come up higher!" Shun not Purity, then, nor lament Its attainment or seeming unattainable heights. Purity lives where God dwells, and is no further away than the Flame within your Heart. We prepare a people for a great role: the Freeing of a Mighty Nation, and the extending of Christ Radiance among all the mankind of Earth.

Myriad notions have entered and do enter men's consciousness and as they follow each one to its ultimate end, they find that it did not provide one iota of permanent Happiness. Life can become a bottomless pit of seeking where lesser goals are sought and attained, sometimes to the soul's own hurt. But, by calling forth Ideals of Peace from the Heart of the Prince of Peace, and by calling for the Rule of Heaven's Peace to hold sway over the entire Earth, Man fulfills the larger goals of the Great Divine Plan and satisfies thereby his daily requirements of ordered service, brotherly love, and individual unfoldment. The "raging" of heathen energies is always a vain thing and is related to factors of speculation and imagination. Long ago in Egypt, when Joseph, the Son of Jacob, was a friend to the Pharaoh, he was known as a dreamer of dreams, and an interpreter of men's dreams. (Gen. 41) There are many methods whereby men seek to probe the past and to understand the handwriting on the wall of the present in order to predict the future, but there is never any mere imagination or speculation about the one, right Divine Way. Joseph, the beloved wearer of the coat of many colors, held his own attunement with God in such Purity and Peace that His works bore the fruit of Spiritual Blessing manifest within them. In order to free the planet Earth, which task seems Herculean at this hour, it shall be necessary to enlist the aid of every one who has some concept of the mighty work before Us and is willing to consecrate his Being to the Cause and Service of the Divine Plan of establishing Peace throughout the Earth. The high calling and the prize preclude petty dissension! We, Ladies of Heaven, have sent forth Our Energies through the Pearls of Wisdom because the Feminine Ray is coming to the fore as never before in order to establish the Great Permanent Golden Age. It shall swallow up the flood of negative energy which the Earth has "cast off." And that which threatens to destroy the Christ Image of the Son of God in order to enthrone the "abomination of desolation," (the warlike image of destructive intent manifesting in human consciousness) shall be inundated by the purifying waters of the Mighty River of Life flowing freely from the Heart of the Mother of the World. Those elements of human nature which oppose the appearing of the Christed Plan are ever wolves in sheep's clothing who would destroy the lambs of God while masquerading as defenders of their true Selfhood. Evil can never produce Good, no matter what the disguise. You want Peace in your own world, Dear Hearts, and you want it so intensely for the world at large. You long to see it permanently established on Earth, yet you know that this can only be by the ascendancy of Divine Grace, enthroned in all. So long as the purposes of life are but the chemicalization of matter, employed as the enjoyment of misdirected energy, flowing forth in a destructive spiral, Man cannot escape the silt of human vanity. When the Mighty Tides of Heaven are enlisted in building Divine Character into the fabric of Identity so that Beauty, Perfection, Kindness, Strength, Peace, Victory and Love are made the cornerstones of right action in Man and society, the world cannot long remain in shadow. The Law of Life will roll forth new Victories for all and Peace must reign over the Earth, regardless of any statements any one may make or any concepts any man may hold to the contrary. Light shall ultimately triumph over darkness and in the end you may be certain that the Earth shall be set Free to enjoy its promised, "Peace on Earth, Good Will toward men." Delays are only the result of men's foolishness and their fascination with the curious affectations of human fancy. Now then, consider what it means to build a Spiritual Movement of great strength and far-reaching effect. Organization is necessary, but it must always be rounded upon those organized concepts of Heaven, implemented by dedicated men and women whose every breath is pledged on behalf of the Holy Name of Freedom. Such Divine Ideals infuse the hopes of men with a working structure and orderly plan of action; and thus Peace is won through victorious efforts made by those who never stop to count the cost, but just keep on giving of their own precious energies, even as the great Masters have done simply because right must continue ONWARD in peaceful spirals of achievement. Keep on building for Peace and Love, Dear Hearts. You go with God, and His Hands are consecrated in your blessed hands. His Heart beats the rhythm of Love through your own, and the streamers of Light, flashing forth from the Mother of the World and the Cosmic Mothers through The Summit Lighthouse Beacon, are for the glorification of the Divine Plan. Of this you can be certain: all that remains unattained, will be ultimately won, step by step unto Victory. The contests you win today while wrestling with your own visiting angels (Gen. 32: 24-30) can only strengthen you for the greater prize We seek to award to all Life in the dawn of individual, international, and planetary Good Will: The Laurel Wreath of The Christ.

The beautiful intent of God is to release the fullness of Himself to all who will make the necessary preparation to receive Him. He who has God has all wealth and cannot really lack any good thing. It is most regrettable, but true, that the minds of men are so overly prone to receive negative ideas of lack, originating in the downward spirals of human misqualification, that they suffer thereby the reverse of the perfect supply which Universal Law would bestow upon all. Perceiving to what end the struggles of mankind lead them, I AM spurred with Infinite Compassion to release a formula for greater supply to all. The simple rules of metaphysics concerning supply and demand do not always seem to work, even when the blessed students, who are ever so sincere, struggle so hard to apply them. This is of course one of the reasons why manifestation does not occur, simply because there is too much sense of struggle and not enough faith and trust in the accuracy of Divine Law. Dear Hearts, un-fortune-ately people do not, as Beloved El Morya has often pointed out, apply the Science of Co-measurement to events. The idea of prosperity standing just around the corner does not appeal to individuals wondering where their next meal is coming from. They do not consider that God, Who feeds the proverbial sparrow, has taken great care of them through millenniums of embodiments and has the richest Blessings the Universe can hold, ready and waiting to lower into manifestation in their worlds. There is a tendency toward despondency or doubt whenever fervent cries are uttered and no immediate response is self-evident. Co-measurement is a doctrine of patience. It contains within its idea of pure righteousness the Law of Cause and Effect. This Law demonstrates that out of experience is born understanding and compassion for men in various roles. The prince of former times, embodied as the "pauper of the present hour, is able to feel a personal empathy for this strata of life. The reverse situation also has its attendant blessings, for the "prince" of the present era may fare better in performing acts of grace through wisdom gained from the "pauper" of the past. While no hard and fast other than the Law of Karmic Justice functions herein, it is a fact that the soul often expands under duress in a manner that might not be possible were no test in evidence. Men would often be unwilling to change lots with those whom they may almost envy, if they knew the total dimensions the "lucky" person who "has everything" must absorb and cope with. So, Beloved Ones, the patience of Job is a great blessing and of greater value in cutting karmic cords than men may realize. At times there occurs the unfortunate feeling of resentment and blame which some people express in their hearts toward the Deity when all does not go just as they expect - and this rebellion does not help their cause. Cutting themselves Free from any feeling of resentment to any part of Life is one of the first steps of Faith which will open the door of understanding to the fullness of Co-measurement and a release of karmic restraint which The Great Law may have imposed upon them in order to assist the expansion of their souls' evolution. When the ballast of human creation is released, the healing "helium" of spiritual buoyancy raises the feelings of men and women to new heights of hope and grandeur. The windows of Heaven are then opened that a blessing they cannot contain may be poured out upon them, for, lo, "the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain Thee" (I Kings 8:27). O, Blessed Ones, How very great is the LAW OF ABUNDANCE. "I AM COME THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE LIFE AND THAT MORE ABUNDANTLY" (John 10:10) is a wondrous affirmation, whose Power is indomitable. Affirming this statement in your heart, after shedding unwanted feelings of envy, doubt, and despair, will raise the mind to a state of receptivity where God, the Mighty "I AM" Presence, can bestow the fullness of His Treasures of Light! I, too, AM anxious to bestow upon all the students and upon the dear world, with its sleeping hamlets full of little children, a new era of radiant Hope and Blessings, in which every tiny babe of Light may respond to the ministrations of Love from his Mother's Heart. I salute the Mothers of the world and all womankind to call to their attention the good Fortunes which are already theirs, and the blessed Opportunities which increase their dimensions each day. One day every Son of Heaven shall be able to hope for the treasures of a young prince, because the knowledge that he is born in his Heavenly Father's House is early conveyed to him, and that the world is a brighter place because Love has expanded so very much. O, Love that will not let men go, draw them back to the fullness of their Divine Consciousness which makes all men aware of the Treasures of Heaven and the Love that would shower upon them, as joyous Golden Sunbeams of Power, spinning thought into the wondrous manifest Reality of heavenly bliss. I AM your Golden-Hearted, Mother of Supply, FORTUNA Copyright, 1963, by The Summit Lighthouse, Inc. This instruction comes to you through the loving courtesy of the Ascended Masters' Darjeeling, India, Council of God's Will, of which ALL the Ascended Host are Members. The following decree is No. 55.01 of Section II, "Invocations and Decrees for Keepers of The Flame." It is given here with the Ascended Masters' Love for the infinite expansion of your Light: LIGHT'S TREASURES In the Name of the Beloved Mighty Victorious Presence of God "I AM" in me, my very own Beloved Holy Christ Self, and Holy Christ Selves of all mankind, I call to Beloved Helios and Vesta, Beloved Jesus the Christ, Beloved Mighty Cyclopea, Beloved Saint Germain and Portia, Beloved Mighty Victory, Beloved Lanto, and Beloved Fortuna, Goddess of Supply to blaze the Glorious Precipitation Flame throughout the Summit Lighthouse and every constructive individual and activity on Earth, including my own being and world to manifest therein abundant supply of all the Wisdom, Light, Determination and Love they will ever need to fulfill the Plan of God and raise all mankind into the Glorious Liberty of Saint Germain's Great Golden Age which I AM expanding right now and forever through this my decree: Fortuna, Goddess of Supply Of all God's Wealth from Realms on High Release Thy Treasures from the Sun And now be stow on everyone - Whose heart beats one with God's Own Light The Power to draw from Heaven's Height Abundance to expand the Plan The Masters hold for every man. Attune our Consciousness with Thee Expand our Vision now to see That Opulence is meant for all Who look to God and make the call. We now demand, we do command Abundant Manna from God's Hand That now below as is Above All mankind shall express God's Love! And in full Faith, I consciously accept this manifest, manifest, manifest (3x) right here and now with full Power, eternally sustained, all-powerfully active, ever-expanding and world-enfolding, until. all are wholly Ascended in the Light and Free! Beloved "I AM", Beloved "I AM", Beloved "I AM." ****** Chapter 34 Beloved Sophia, Goddess of Wisdom - August 23, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 34 - Beloved Sophia, Goddess of Wisdom - August 23, 1963 Wisdom is justified by Her children. Think ye, O, mankind, that the mark of CAIN would ever have been placed upon the brow of Man had Love held sway over vanity and envy? Think how Love, as a feeling of Infinite, all-encompassing Wisdom, enfolds the Sons who guard against the intrusion of every repulsive human vice. How ridiculous was the first vibratory sensation of hatred between man and man. All were born of the same Flame, entertained the same hope, and had the self-same glorious Opportunity of spiritual unfoldment. However, the contagion of mental and emotional disease is very great, and one person of discord infected thousands until, like a wildfire across the prairie, the sea of humanity roared in dissension as a wilderness of fear and frustration. " ... He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." (John 8: 7) IMMORTAL WORDS, rendering complex karmic matters wholly simple and stopping the attitude of human viciousness and condemnation. How unfortunate it is that the balance of human reason is not endowed with more understanding! To the present hour, in the name of religion and Faith, men retain hatreds of those who are as Just or even purer than themselves. Like carrion crows they hover to devour those they ought to love and, making merchandise of one another's woes, they flood the courts of the world with the most unholy forms of spiritual treason. Of what value is Wisdom unless It pierce the gloom of error and blaze forth through the limiting density of human consciousness that Holy Compassion which heals the crooked limbs of men's vanity and enables them to walk the Path of Virtue? Wisdom is not intended to exalt the ego or set brother over brother; Wisdom is not intended to make men masters over other men. Wisdom is, pure and simple, a Beacon pointing the way to the fruits of fulfillment. Men pursue Wisdom in order to attain advantage, to be thought wise and out of avid curiosity about Life, but the "pure in heart" see Wisdom as a means to find their Great Divine Source. All pursuit of knowledge ought to swallow up lesser aims, else knowledge becomes a canker, eating away the fabric of Selfhood and destroying that which loving Wisdom exists to preserve. In no ivory-towered citadel of self-glorification, but upon bowed knees of humility, the Initiate worships at the mighty Fountain of Theo-Sophia, striving to wash away the dust of the road and experience a baptism of Divine Grace. As one chosen to conclude the Mighty releases of the Ladies of Heaven speaking in this series of Letters, I wish to close with an affirmation of delight that may be retained by you throughout your life, helping you on to greater understanding and Victory: Come all who love Life, Drink deep at Wisdom's fount; But let your draught be utilized In climbing Victory's mount. Come all who love Life, Seek Holy Wisdom pure; Let sweet attunement with God alone Make everyone secure. Come, all who love Life Cast off all vanity; With hands of gentle grace stretched out Let every man be Free. To hasten your Christhood, My Blessing I bestow, SOPHIA (Goddess of Wisdom) ****** Chapter 35 BELOVED EL MORYA - August 30, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 35 - BELOVED EL MORYA - August 30, 1963 I AM called upon for assistance more frequently than many of the students less familiar with Me realize. And I AM most grateful that Our Father, in assigning Me greater responsibility, has likewise bestowed upon Me the grace and expansibility which enable Me to fulfill My part in the Gram Scheme. Beloved Ones, ever so often, with the drawing in of additional lifestreams to Our various endeavors, We encounter the attitude of skepticism concerning Our existence. Now it is easy enough for those of you who have had ample opportunity to "try" Us and "prove" Our existence to your own complete satisfaction to be a trifle impatient with those who do not have the Blessing of complete Faith. May I adjure you not to trouble yourselves about this matter, preferring rather to call for greater Light for the younger disciple and, through expansive Love, to let your silent compassion be an all-enfolding mantle of spiritual strength to him. No one can enter another's consciousness without permission except in violation of Cosmic Law. When We are permitted to gaze from afar, as it were, upon men's consciousness, it is always with a sense of regret that We find the effects of blind tradition and .densified concepts whose opacity denies to their experience so many of Life's Blessings! Dear Ones, men suffer enough because of their own density without the added burden imposed by your condemnation of their attitudes. Heaven knows, the rift betwixt the human and the Divine, although never of God's origin, is wide enough and needs no intrusion by Our representatives of their own egos between the seeker and the Light! Now, because recent events have been so filled with meaning for world good, and because manifold spearheads of Divine Intent are finding their way through the rubble of human nonsense, I AM concerned lest any premature "over-confidence" on the part of Our students should cause them distress in the event that world furor be the manifest result of rebllion by the mass mind against the Divine Intent. For the dying beast of materiality does lash out from time to time at the regeneration in Man of the Christ Consciousness (See Rev. 12). And it will express violent resistance to its shortened tenure of authority over the minds of men. But this action is never an indication that the forces of Light are losing ground; on the contrary, it is a sure sign that the day of Truth's final reckoning with every form of error is hastening in order that Earth's Cosmic Destiny might be fulfilled. With this thought in mind, therefore, I advocate intense application to the known Laws of Divine Grace and the avoidance of carelessness or indifference toward matters which are of such towering significance as to escape notice by the average individual whose head is, perhaps, slanted in a direction other than straight up. I do not imply here that Our blessed chelas belong to the category of those who walk head downward, but I do choose to be most practical and admit that a compromising position does not always give man, embodied with all his "mortal coil nature," complete Freedom to exercise the fulness of his spiritual abilities, at least not as much as either We or he may desire! Thus is Our advice and guidance esteemed by those who recognize that the simple thoughts which We use become a matrix for the most advanced ideas. For We superimpose Mighty Divine pictures on the wave forms of relatively simple concepts and convey, by a simultaneous transmission, individual messages of divine import to many people functioning on different planes of spiritual realization and fulfillment. The recent series of classes in Washington have been most efficacious, as We have told you, and those who were fortunate enough to attend have a spiritual engraving within their Beings which will unfold future Blessings without limit. However, the scope of world Good is Our prime concern and each chela of Divine Love will join Me, I AM certain, in plying Our trade of developing and nourishing the souls Of men until the harvest is completed and the sheaves are gathered into the great, Divine Storehouse of Truth, wholly consecrated to the Lord of the Harvest. May I use the forum of the next few PEARLS OF WISDOM to find a little niche in your hearts, O Chelas of God's unfolding Love - for the deposit of a few nuggets mined from that Golden Sun of Infinite Wisdom and Good Will? Lovingly, I AM EL MORYA ****** Chapter 36 Beloved EL MORYA - September 6, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 36 - Beloved EL MORYA - September 6, 1963 Now it must be recognized by all serving this endeavor that We are beginning an expansion program of tremendous scope. The purpose my be briefly stated as the release of Golden Age "Action" into the world arena, so that the effects of mankind's densities may be minimized and the consecrated energies of the many united to bring about changes-for which the spiritual guardians have called for decades, and for which the world has waited, groaning in travail for millenniums. The world may not acknowledge these facts but all open-minded and open-hearted people must, if they love Truth at all, realize that We have not been able to find in the ordinary orthodox organizations enough hearts whose doors were open nor minds who would either comprehend or feel the need of having such knowledge as God is disposed to release to mankind through Us. We are forced into the byways of humanity, to choose those lifestreams whose hearts are a part of the Universal Consciousness and whose minds accept Our Presence in the Universe and Our Willingness to assist mankind out of every present dilemma, providing they be willing to receive Our aid. We can do nothing with those who have secured themselves behind the ramparts of preconceived notions - those who have cast aside the Reality of Our existence by a twist of mere intellectual deduction based on premises of fear and dogma. Our assistance is indeed limited by those whose own egos seek Us USa means of increasing their own importance in the eyes of men. But We do seek and find here and there an honest heart and then We literally overturn Heaven and Earth to provide nurture and support for such a one. The value of Our services and attention is sometime s minimized by the superficial student, who does not miss Us until the eternal springs of Being, which he has by-passed far too long, are cut off and the water of supply in the spiritual well of his Being, both figuratively and actually "runs dry". Now, We do not intend to be "sitters" for those infantile minds who are abandoned by the parents of their own neglect! We do object to the Use of Our Energies where there is some sign of promise and sincerity, but when the individual comes to Us who pursues The Great White Brotherhood to gain some material end and then, upon securing immediately abandons the purposes of Being, We can scarcely be deceived! By a like token the sincerity of some men's hearts is not even known to themselves! Forthrightly, many coming to Us for temporary assistance have remained to pursue their own Divinity unto the very end of Life's highest goals. A re-evaluation of self is periodically useful in ascertaining as to whether or not one's perspective has been ill-slanted. Many people have progressed to a marvelous vantage point but do not consciously know it. They incur thereby the danger of losing that which they have gained. The true-hearted aspirant does not fall backward when actively engaged in serving the Light. Any quiver of the bow of purpose is steadied ere the arrow of deliverance fly astray the mark, yet each aspiration. released from devoted hearts finds its way to the very Heart of THE FATHER. How can God deny to those who love Him so much the requirement s of their Beings? The danger lies in loving God as the Mighty fulness of Perfection, while despising Man "made in His Image"! Compassion would take note of the struggles of the Saints. Each one did overcome with the passage of time, but at points of origin expressed elements of the flesh without the glory of the Spirit. The little steps, the first steps, must often be retraced! For this reason great adepts have taken first Initiations over and over again lest perchance some minute point escape the wonders of personal discovery. It is never wise to be overcome of excess confidence or timidity! Balance and poise, when charged with the emanations of the Divine, create the attitude of Heart which wins Heaven's approval. The exaltation of individuals into a status of Divine Grace is .Our present Goal, for We would and could use those so inclined, whose inner natures move with the rhythm of the Eternal Will of God, in the building of a better world. Men must realize that they are the workmen of God, executing His Will and that imperfect manifestations denote that the blueprint is not being followed. Careful workmen, proud of the virtue and skill of their craft raise a Temple of exquisite design! Excelsior! EL MORYA ****** Chapter 37 Beloved El Morya - September 13, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 37 - Beloved El Morya - September 13, 1963 Controversy over religious matters would not exist if the full vision of Divine Truth were accepted by all. This is why it was vouchsafed that the pure in Heart would SEE GOD. The Blessing of Individuality is always enhanced by understanding. Each one uniquely beholds a Universe: the total macrocosm of atoms, stars and Man is interchanged within the wakeful consciousness of individual Man. The relation of Reality to Being is ever equated by one for all, and yet the all do not ever focus on one individual except through the idea of God. The attention of a Cosmos abides upon the Deity, for wherever Enlightenment occurs this is necessarily an accompanying factor, but where a lack of understanding exists the Flame of Illumination nevertheless continues to blaze behind the opaque consciousness of human identity with all of its personalized obstructions, even as the sun shines in all its splendor behind the murky clouds of human creation. Anger, resentment, criticism, condemnation and judgment, together with a host of other "flies," spur the best steeds to swish their tails and free themselves from such biting insects! Men, in emulating the Deity, cannot continue to live as beasts. The mark of the beast is clearly stated to be the number of a man (See Rev. 13:14). Now, We determine to bless Our chelas with a greater unfoldment of their true Identity. Wise men have called this the "id" and yet were not clever enough to realize that their best interests and greatest happiness existed in I-D-E-N-T-I/FYING wholly with their Great Divine Source, rather than dense-ifying in human identity with its changing foibles. Men have forgotten that they came forth from God who is all happiness and entered upon individuality in order to obtain the blessing of conscious Immortality! The Soul, while existing in the "Godhead", unconscious of human miscreation or unhappiness, is wholly identified with God, but this fact is not apparent to the waking consciousness of the individual "id" whose life in form is the opportunity of a "Cinderella" seeking to become a "Princess" of Consciousness in the Kingdom of God! The glass slipper which the Prince, symbolizing the Higher Self, holds, seeking to find and fit the foot of true Identity, is the crystal clear matrix of Divine Reality which knows not the density of the pumpkin coach, mice and lizard kingdom of human creation. The Reality of Life has become the fairy tale, and strange mortal concepts of human creation have been made real by the lens of human consciousness. The indomitable Image of yourself as an ASCENDED MASTER should be stamped upon every sincere chela's mind and consciousness. You must think of yourself as becoming with great rapidity an illumined, powerful, loving and serving Son of God. You must forsake all else, using the world with loving wisdom, but not abusing Divine Privilege. Let us THINK now upon your Great Spiritual Reality. Let us THINK now and become that Great Reality! This is id-entification with God. For your unfoldment, EL MORYA ****** Chapter 38 Beloved Mother Mary - September 20, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 38 - Beloved Mother Mary - September 20, 1963 Beloved El Morya and I concur that it is high time greater Light be shed upon the current practice of black magic so that proper defenses can be maintained by all who love the Light and desire to see its limitless expansion. Gracious Hearts, know that "free will" is always confined within the bonds of men's capacities. Yet, to say that they do not have "free will" is untrue for, functioning within their capacities, they can create both wonderfully and fearfully. When Cosmic Fiats and Divine Commands are issued which seem to interfere with Man's free will it has always been true that these were Fiats of control designed to limit the destructive intents of men and confine them to certain areas of materiality where they could be ultimately transmuted. When the entities and black magicians were brought under control and taken from the planet through the power of the Light, this dispensation applied (where the entities were concerned) to the then current hour. With each passing hour new souls released into the earth's atmosphere become trapped in the psychic and astral regions. In the case of black magic, while the so-called "mighty" or great black magicians were indeed removed and controlled, their pupils continued to exist and expand to some degree of adeptship in those arcane arts which were calculated to exalt the individual and give him some form of control over lesser men. Likewise many of the writings and formulas used by them were left behind for the unscrupulous to employ or experiment with. The peril of so-called black magic continues to exist today and requires the vigilance of the elect so as to counteract all such forms of necromancy by unyielding ATTENTION to the LIGHT OF GOD WHICH NEVER FAILS! There is only one way to overcome evil and that is with Good. Through alertness the sincere student will learn the art of challenging intrusions upon their happiness with the command, "Show me your Light!" and the firm decree, "I AM THE ONLY POWER THAT CAN ACT!" This affirmation gives the individual some concept of the fact that only God can act in his world, and that all that is less than the Perfection of God must come to naught. Some schools desire to inform their students that black magic does not exist, but I AM one who witnessed the feigned power of the mass consciousness seeking the destruction of the Christ Light within the Heart of Her Son! I beheld the darkness over the face of the land while My Son hung between heaven and earth until the veil in the Temple was rent in twain. I recall that in that black hour I perceived by contrast the wonders of Light's Triumph over every outer condition. His cry "IT IS FINISHED" seemed momentarily to spell My own end, yet I lived to witness His triumphant Ascension into Heaven! Many little ones today all around the world are, innocently enough it is true, practicing a form of black magic when they seek to interfere with their fellowmen's free will or influence lifestreams by asserting some form of control over them. The very fact that spiritually-minded people sometimes fall prey to this habit without being aware of it makes it vital that We call it to men's attention today. It is never wrong, when invited, to visualize Good coming forth for others and to see them held within a circle of blazing Light, but to seek to force them to bend to your will without the benefit of their own blessed response to Reason or Wisdom is ever an ominous karmic responsibility which has launched many an enduring tie without the Blessing of attendant happiness. The practice of Spiritual Magic, the art of calling forth exaltations and blessings for mankind is not practiced nearly enough, let Me make this clear. But the selfishness of humanity and their fears of the morrow have caused them to take thought in a manner which has only resulted in needless complications without giving them any permanent deliverance. The struggle for world domination goes on, spearheaded by the most nefarious and sinister mass, and yet the students must exhibit and have no fear of these conditions. Rather, consecrate yourselves to such areas of service coupled with devotion to the Holy Cause that there is no room in the inn of your Being for aught else but the Purity and Love of God. We do not desire to see the sincere students of The Great White Brotherhood to be babes in the woods where the abuses of the Great Law are concerned, yet We do not want any of Our chelas to be brought under the power of aught else except Love and the Divine Intent. O, GOD SELF IN ALL SUPREME! LIGHT "I AM" AND MOVED ONLY BY THY WONDROUS IMPULSE BRIGHT TO DO GOD'S WILL IS EVER MY HOLY DELIGHT AND I AM PROTECTED ALWAYS, WAKING OR SLEEPING, BY GOD'S OWN MIGHT. Secure yourselves then behind the bastions of your own God Design but be aware as was My Son of the need to be elastic, rising to fit the occasion, and yielding to no impulse save the moving impulse of LOVE ALONE (ALL ONE). I AM your vigilant Mother MARY ****** Chapter 39 Beloved Kuthumi - September 27, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 39 - Beloved Kuthumi - September 27, 1963 When Beloved El Morya and I introduced spiritualism to the advanced students of the West in the last century, it was with the fond hope of increasing men's understanding of "survival after death." We longed to see the receding of fear in men's consciousness and the reflection of a more expanded vision of the eternal nature of Life. Therefore contacts carried on from a very high plane were permitted that the blessing to men might be very great. However, frequently the reverse was true. Fraud and deceit entered into the practice of spiritualism. Charlatans who took pleasure in entrancing the people with their own personalities for the love of money and self-glory perverted the original design of this potential avenue for Truth. Contacts debased themselves through association with the lower psychic or astral realm, paying heed to those discarnate entities whom they would never have deigned worthy of their attention while in embodiment. Thus another door was closed which We might have used to bring humanity nearer to the Godhead. It must ever be recognized that the real and the counterfeit have been with humanity for a long time. Whenever God has blest men with Truth, the counterfeit or anti-Christ has also asserted itself. Each attempt for Good is usually inverted and the opposite end of the axis brought to the fore in the attempt to alienate the allegiance of men from their highest Self. Beloved students of Light, death does not deify except it be the death in man of his old and corrupt nature. Those who are filthy before entering the halls of death are filthy still and those who are holy are holy still (See Rev. 22: 11). Final Victory is not attained through death but through the transformation of the Adamic nature into the "quickening spirit" of the Christ Man when " ... this corruptible shall have put on incorruption and this mortal shall have put on immortality" (I Cor. 15:10-58). The tramps from the opium dens of China are as active in the astral world as are the dearly departed members of many people's families. Flesh-and-blood ties are not nearly so important in Reality as spiritual ties which link together men and women of Holy Purpose in God's Will. The flesh may bring to men strange bed fellows, for often father and son are as different as day and night, or mother and daughter as opposite as East and West. Yet, in the Kingdom of God, a Christ may sit with the Buddha and find no wide difference in spiritual service to humanity. All advocates of Love, whether from East or West, North or South, whether manifesting universal consciousness or the narrowness of creed or class must, if they would be true to Love itself, admit to the sacred precincts of their Hearts those of diverse states of spiritual attainment. There has been for far too long a "holier than thou" attitude on the part of many seekers after Greater Light. Beloved, to find a little of God's Light does not exalt men to ivory towers of Wisdom. Where Great Wisdom truly manifests, greater Love and service to one's brothers is the natural tendency. We do not deny that discrimination ought to be practiced when determining from whom you shall accept instruction, for it is not wrong to "try the spirits and see if they be of God." We do distinguish, however, between those who come to you seeking your love and those who would be your teachers. Be kind and receptive to those who need your help, but be firm with those who would misdirect you. But with neither be hasty. There is never any real need to greet any questionable doctrine with open arms or to immediately accept that which runs counter to the very nature of your Being. If it is of Truth, time will prove its Reality - if discriminating Love and Wisdom are sought from God alone. If it be of error you would do your self disservice to accept it without due consideration. One of the greatest mistakes many students make is to accept the pressure which makes one feel the need to decide instantly upon the merits of each situation they encounter. The urgency of this feeling sometimes leads them into rejecting great assistance or, on other hand, accepting that which will one day cause them regret. Remember, your Consciousness has retained certain elements of proven Truth and these are the building blocks for future progress in the fruition of Holy Wisdom. Use them carefully to erect a flawless structure, which will one day be made eternally secure in the knowledge of the whole Law and therefore a fitting memorial to the revelation of the Presence "face to face." I AM advocating that the dangers in all forms of contacting the so-called "dead" be understood. Just as you would not admit unrighteous men or thieves into your home, when living, so all who have departed bearing the stamp of their own lack of holiness cannot be relied upon in the psychic world to do ought else than that which they practiced while yet in physical embodiment. Your own Divine God or "I AM" Presence, and your Holy Christ Self, together with the Ascended Masters are always the fulness of Divine Authority. We will never counsel you except to lead you into paths of righteousness for His Name's Sake (I AM). I have sought to spell an end to misunderstandings about Life and its continuity. There is never any doubt that just as Life goes on while you sleep at night without your awareness of it, so Life goes on between embodiments. Just as men dream while sleeping so the consciousness which exists in internal self-awareness continues to have alternate periods of contact with the outer world of form, and the inner astral planes. The most desirable state and that to which men should aspire for themselves as well as for their loved ones, is to obtain entrée to Our Schools of Light (both between embodiments and while their bodies are asleep) where men and women are given most blessed training in the spiritual arts of Freedom as well as in the correct use of all spiritual Power. Fortunately this can be accomplished while you are yet in your present physical embodiment, and by mastering the formula and practice you will find it much easier to do so, should the need arise after the loss of your physical form. Yet, above all goals, hold your own Ascension the most wonderful for it is the fulfillment of the entire Law of your Being and the commencing of the Grand Journey to Infinite Goals of completion. May God's Counsel guide and uphold you, always KUTHUMI ****** Chapter 40 BELOVED EL MORYA - October 4, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 40 - BELOVED EL MORYA - October 4, 1963 Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the Holy Cause! Dissatisfaction with human beings sometimes urges men to forsake the Cause of Unity. However, those who are the greatest adepts have not done so, for they realize just what is REAL about Man and what is not! The true Master knows what power is acting. It is never wise to respond to the base elements in men and to be swayed to and fro by them when the great privilege of anchoring within the veil of Divine Grace is so eternally "ready", Our service for this planet continues at Inner Levels to gain great momentum and no outer appearance can affect the Truth of the Law in action. During the coming week I AM releasing vibrations of HOLY POWER into the hands of those whose lives have demonstrated their willingness to take their stand with the Light and to resist the action of human creation through clearly defined counter measures. This week I AM also inviting all who would assist Our Cause to ask to be taken to Darjeeling while their bodies sleep that I might impart to you, each one, a special Blessing of assistance. Each Gift has been carefully chosen to make the chela wiser, stronger, and more confident in the action of the Great Law in order that he might overcome all outer conditions and initiate every measure needed to insure permanent Freedom. Your advocate for Eternal Good Will, EL MORYA Thanks for the Invitation O, Morya Dear, I love you so Thank you, Master, for letting me know That I am welcome now to go To Darjeeling's Palace of Light While my body sleeps at night. Let my Soul retain, Dear One Thy Radiance of Good Will's Sun Holy Treasure of God's Light, Armor for Protection's Might. I am grateful and accept, Take my love, O, Great Adept. ****** Chapter 41 Beloved SAINT GERMAIN - October 11, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 41 - Beloved SAINT GERMAIN - October 11, 1963 Blessed seeking Hearts who so faithfully pursue your God Identity, I AM aware how sincerely you receive every Word of Our instruction embodying as they do the qualities of "Cups of Light." It is also made known to Me that occasionally one of the knight errants on the Path is overawed at the quantity of Our instruction, pondering how in Heaven's Name he will ever appropriate and use all of it! Be of good cheer, for God's Laws are many-splendored splinters of Illumination which, when pieced together, resemble a Crown of Wisdom. One reason why so much repetition is needed is because the attention of spiritual aspirants is pulled so rapidly into the maelstrom of human identity that there is a continual need to focus individual consciousness upon the various facets of Divine Law in order that the Blessed Law can be readily invoked into action by each lifestream as a forthright countermeasure against the snares of human thought and feeling. To be impregnated with Holy Wisdom does not of necessity make man a "Fountain of Illumination." Some men, in the silence of golden readiness, stand waiting to thrust but a finger into the dikes which stay human terror, holding back the spume of men's error until it can be transmuted and changed into released Light. It should be understood that there is a vast difference among human states of comprehension, and that some do learn the lessons of Life faster than others. However, Blessed Ones, there is always a need to review and keep alert to the Great Laws of Spiritual Direction from Our Octave, for ever so often a single word or idea is found to be that very panacea needed to dispel a dismal moment. The blessed relief found in that idea may well give assuagement to someone's grief as he moves on the Path surrounded by the pitfalls of earth. It is not possible for the average man or woman to measure the value of contact with Us, for the very elements in which you move by reason of their atomic structure, very dense and congested with man sloth. Now, by the power of Electronic Energy radiated through Our very words which are made of Living Light, mankind do sense a penetration of the flow of Freedom into their worlds. This Freedom is the natural birthright of every man, but one which has frequently been denied by men in the banality of ignorance. Yet, while breathing the stench of error and the staleness of materiality, it is difficult for these who have been long confined therein to recall the cleansing power of rarified holy air. We long to set Free every captive of emotion and wrong thought so that the pure powers of Divine Identity can take their rightful dominion within men's beating hearts. In many of the wondrous rituals embodied in the mystical orders of the past are those repetitious mantrams of holy grace which are calculated to draw to the surface of the consciousness of man greater awareness of the Divine Self each time they are spoken. To repeat these by rote without ever successfully demonstrating the mighty wonders secretly implanted in the patterns formed by these blessed words is a loss of time and energy to the seeker. This is why We urge that in reading Our words and releases you pause long enough over each word and idea to permit the blessed Angel of your Presence to convey its entire Message to you. Frequently, because some of Our dear chelas may detect an idea with which they are most familiar in some of Our current releases, they feel, and often quite mistakenly, that it does not interest them or in some cases even apply to them any longer. Sometimes they tend to gloss over Our letters to find a new idea and fix on that specific while neglecting more familiar passages. This is a great pity for We must address Ourselves to men and women of advancement at the same time We are speaking to the child seeker. The greatest Masters, recognizing the wholesomeness of Truth, have not hesitated to "become as little children" and to rejoice in the old and familiar, all the while holding out the hand of Hope for the new revelation whose wonders will cover them with the gentle "dew" of Freedom! Take new heart, Precious Ones of God's Infinite Heart; the invaluable reviews which We from time to time currently release are intended to be imbibed and renewed within your thoughts and feelings. These are those timeless truths which must be reviewed as Living Light until the very foundation of your Being is wedded to the Great Golden Flame of Illumination, which will give you your Blessed Freedom. One of the wonders of these releases to you is that you are kept apprised from time to time concerning just the right aspect of the Law needed by the many and the few, but which, in the preoccupations of every day life, may be easily overlooked - albeit the Voice of Your own God Presence has so frequently hummed it into your spiritual ears! Always remember that Wisdom is a vital aspect of Deity embodying the Flame of conscious Hope, and, by continuing upon the Holy Path made bright by Faith and Love, you serve not for but a moment, but for your eternal reunion with all the brightness of God. Although all the Universe be a stage for unfolding cosmic dramas, your corner of existence and the scene of your current Victory, must be in the daily here and now of life's activities. It is by overcoming daily those weights of human creation and by mastering life without succumbing to discouragement from men' s unfulfilled or false promises that you win your Eternal Victory and the Opportunity to be a FLAME OF FREEDOM for others whose yearning hopes, like hands, reach out for your love. I AM your Knight Commander, SAINT GERMAIN ****** Chapter 42 GOD MERU - October 18, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 42 - GOD MERU - October 18, 1963 With the advent of the New Age must come an intensification of the Illumination Flame. This is necessary for much of human action has been released in the blight of ignorance without the liberating power of Divine Wisdom. Beloved El Morya and the Great Hierarchy of Light focused in Darjeeling are cooperating completely with the Brothers of the Golden Robe in Their efforts on behalf of mankind and the expansion of the Light. There is never any division in the purposes or cooperation of the facets of Our action whether in Inner Spheres or in outer fields of action. How could a house divided against itself stand? The Good that has been released in recent Classes and through dedicated lifestreams has been so effective in stirring up lethargy and once again setting the Forces of Freedom on the march, that the enthusiasm of the students has actually lifted the Consciousness of the Great Masters to new dimensions of Hope! Now if this statement sounds strange to you, bear in mind, Blessed Ones, that We abide in an Octave of Perfection but you are not aware at all times that you do also. For this reason human consciousness far too frequently is self-debasing and at times in lower states of consciousness which enter directly into the forcefield of dissolution's Ray. Let Me explain herewith that the consciousness of mankind abides in a spectrum comparable to the atmospheric belt of the planet. Just as this belt varies in density, becoming rarefied in the upper atmosphere, but extremely heavy and laden with moisture in certain areas below sea level, so the strata of consciousness has many variables. However, there is a sub-level in thought vibrations where the cohesive force that holds memory active is withdrawn by the action of Cosmic Law. This factor is active in order to release Light Substance from contact with degrading influences so that It can return to the Heart of God in the Great Central Sun for repolarization. There likewise exists a strata of Light above the ordinary consciousness where the Power of God acts with such intensity as to draw men away from the Octave of Earth almost completely into the Ascended Masters' Consciousness. Now, inasmuch as mankind operate and think ordinarily within the safety range of that to which they are accustomed, I should like to point out that those responding to the higher vibratory action are sometimes inclined to lose contact with reality upon Earth and leave unfulfilled certain natural obligations which are wholly their responsibility. These obligations were given them in order that they might expand their consciousness of stewardship and adeptship in the use of Energy. If mankind are ever to escape with conscious Grace through the Power of Spiritual Initiation into Higher Octaves, that glorious Blessing, must be obtained by a sense of their Divine Mission to mankind, and excision into the Higher Octaves that is unmerited by personal Grace, called forth from the Great God Presence of Life, is but adding to the burden of Life by creating a false sense of reality about life on Earth. Life on Earth is God-designed to enable men to master their environment here and now. Unless this be done the Great Karmic Board has no choice but to return the dissatisfied lifestreams to the scene of their dissatisfactions until they become centered in the Heart of Divinity which surrounds them everywhere! Those who fall below the level of decent thought are dissolving their vital energies in a maelstrom of base doubt and fear. Any temporary happiness obtained through the action of the human ego in anger, vengeance, or sensuality is soon dissipated and the errant one, wounded and, unhappy, awaits a change in vibration which must be of an Ascending frequency for he has permitted his life energies to pass to the depths of degradation's strata. The balanced action of Life's Perfection is obtained by entering a state of God-Awareness which saturates the environment in which you presently abide. As God is everywhere, it is reasonable to charge His Awareness into your blessed consciousness and environment and in this manner overcome the vibratory action of all shadow in your worlds, here and now by the Power of Light. There remains much of Wisdom to be taught, even to the elect, and We await the patience of the would-be "Saints" to fulfill their Cosmic Destiny amongst the beauty with which they surround themselves. Remember that the Ascended Masters have used the Power given unto Them to carve out Retreats in the mountains and waste places of Earth, in places not easily accessible to mankind, in order to hold these places sacred and uncontaminated by human thought and feeling. Remember that We have used Our Energies to embellish these Retreats with all beauty and loveliness. What We have done you can do in your own way and environment, and most especially in the Sacred Temple of the Most High Living God - your very own consciousness. May I continue in My discussion next week of some of the vital matters presented herein? May illumination's Flame abide within you, quickening in you a new sense of Christ Victory!

Beloved "I AM" ! Beloved "I AM" Beloved "I AM"! ****** Chapter 43 GOD MERU - October 25, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 43 - GOD MERU - October 25, 1963 It would be most difficult, without physical senses, to realize the world of form, and without spiritual vision it is difficult but not impossible to sense the Mighty Invisible Hierarchies. The mind, by the power of sheer reason must, if carried to the ultimate human capacity, acknowledge wonder of Life as the Creation of Vast Intelligence. To do otherwise is indeed, as has been stated, the utterance of "The fool (who) hath said in his heart, `There is no God' " (Ps. 14:1). It is unfortunate but true that the many philosophies to understand the Divine are mixed. Some are inspired upon men by God and some are created by men of their own avarice, in the desire for either name and fame or material substance in return for their false labors of sowing tares of human error midst the pure grain waving in the wheatfields of Life. So then, the very selections men have before them on the Lord's Table are a mixture of Good and Evil. Side by side with the Holy Eucharist of the Living Word is the seed of error and human creation, sometimes so carefully and skillfully woven as to resemble Truth in order to deceive, if it were possible, the very elect. Discrimination and discernment are sadly lacking in many of the chelas and We, Who would release the Power of the Greatest Truth into the world of men, find that the adventures of the human psyche in search of Truth sometimes resemble the fable of Jack and the Beanstalk: In yearning eagerness for great spiritual attainment men plant the seeds obtained by the "magic" of Faith, and climb rapidly into the Heavens. Castles of grandeur appear before them and when the voice of the giant, symbolizing unregenerate and impure energies of the uninitiated would devour the tender aspirant and confine him to the tortures of fiery trial, he seizes the vine and clambers quickly down the stalk of aspiration to where his Mother, symbolizing the constant love of Nature for each lifestream, awaits him. Subsequently, with the sword of discrimination he severs the false vine of imbalanced aspiration, while destroying the power of the impure nature. Thereupon he returns to the home ground to master by God-Purity all the foes within of his own Divine Nature. In addition to resembling the real, the error-spun teaching is often surrounded by sincere followers whose life's energies feed the matrix of error and lend respectability and creditability to its manifestation. Let Me say most emphatically that many wonderful philosophies and teachings have been released by The Great White Brotherhood down through the ages. Some of these have been purposefully diluted in order to render them more palatable to the undeveloped consciousness. Saint Paul declared that he had fed the young Christians with milk for they could not yet absorb strong meat - spiritual meat (I Cor. 3:2). However, coming into greater manifestation as We are doing now and desiring to bless the Earth in an Age of Great Enlightenment, it is necessary that We call for greater Illumination on behalf of mankind so that the mists of doubt and fear may be dissolved and the wonderful power of Divine may stand forth as the Christ Wayshower for the healing of all nations. We must have some means to directly disseminate Our Light, and this must be graded in such a manner as to reach the various states of consciousness expressed by men. We can hardly seek to please the orthodox concepts or to influence people with an appeal which will strengthen their own ego, seeing that the blessed ego, when wrongly pampered, is the cause of all human suffering. Therefore, in blazing forth the Flame of Illumination with that full potency for which the students of Higher Law have called, We recognize that some offense may be given to the human consciousness. This is not only a calculated risk, but it is a forthright act of Virtue and Courage! We have not at this point attempted any naming of names or the direct pinpointing of error, but We have and do call to the attention of the students who sincerely wish to please God rather than men or even their own clouded concepts that DISCRIMINATION must be used not only in eating physical food but also in maintaining a balanced spiritual diet. The Ascended Masters are at once safe teachers and loving Initiators and Initiates. They have experienced first hand the difficulties encountered by the spiritual aspirant on the Path. I would like to point out again that spiritual aspiration must not be sought as a means of escape from the realities of Life. Karma cannot be vicariously dissolved but must be balanced by the one who initiated it. It is, however, vitally true that the Flames of Mercy and Freedom are God's provisions of the Sacred Fire anchored within Man and awaiting his employment on behalf of personal and world Freedom. So many have heard that when the student is ready the Teacher will appear, but have not realized that much preparation is needed by the student who places far too much emphasis on the appearance of the Teacher as the hour signifying an easy deliverance. Actually, when the Teacher does appear, and is appearing through Our Words, it signals an epic of intense application and deliverance. It is not a symbol of ease and sloth, but of intensification of the action of the Sacred Fires of Purification and Harmony. Illumination's Ray would make known to all that these things are so in order to unite the faithful upon Earth in the search for the reappearance of the Christ in the manifestation of the God-Man! The Second Coming of Christ would hardly be in order unless men were prepared to receive Him. That one is taken and another left signifies that in every age it is not the one who has cried Lord, Lord, who is chosen but those who have, in doing the Will of God, perceived that Will as keeping a balance of Love toward their fellow men. When men are vicious to one another and lack the quality of graciousness it does not stem from an action of the Christ. Likewise the difference between condemnation and judgment and pure Christ discrimination must be perceived. The former is an act of human consciousness, the latter of Illumination's Flame. Now through the Power of Transformation the same manifestation changes its thoughts and feelings to become Godlike and beautiful. Former things are passed away and all things become new by the Power of Illumination in action. A discerning Heart is possessed of the quality of true Illumination and lacks the brittleness of mere intellect. The combination of an educated Heart and a disciplined Mind will enable men and women to use Wisdom's Flame to create the religious orders needed for the evolving consciousness of mankind, thereby fulfilling the projects of The Great Brotherhood of Light on behalf of the Earth. The products of the evolving religious systems and philosophies must be reflected in more wonderful lives and happier hours spent with the Great Presence of Life. The Call to come up higher is always more effective if the one so summoned is made aware that it is not merely a summoning for a visit but rather for a promotion on the scale of planetary and Cosmic Initiation. The total purposes of Illumination then must be related to the progress of individual Man by Initiation. Divine study must bring the fulfillment of divine merit based upon externalized virtue. This must be sought and attracted by deliberated intent. Initiation is superior to the mere attainment of knowledge or power, for these are usually lacking in Love and, therefore, unbalanced unless attained by the process of Divine Initiation whereby the Law of Balance is called from the eternal scene and summoned into the chalice of the moment. Thus is the Elixir of Saint Germain merited, and in this manner is the mighty stream of Eternal Life, the Fountain of Youth, invoked as a manifestation of ETERNAL GRACE called forth for the purpose of expressing the Great Archetypal Perfection in the blessed environmental structure with which God has surrounded thee. The Vestal Blessings of the Goddess Meru saluteth all. I AM MERU ****** Chapter 44 Beloved El Morya - November 1, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 44 - Beloved El Morya - November 1, 1963 The waste places of the earth and the deserts may bloom as the rose - yet nothing happens by chance. Domination of the earth, as released by God in His original Fiat, conferring upon men the Grace of Divine Authority, must be assumed by men of good Faith. Mighty God Meru in His blessed release has called for renewed Discrimination and Spiritual Discernment. The shifting of the chaff from the wheat by mankind's action invokes the operation of the great Mercy of the Law on behalf of each one. Whatever men voluntarily remove of shadow is so much less for the Great Law Itself to do in sweeping Life onward to Perfection. Remember, you are being swept by the winds that blow from the mass consciousness of the four corners of the earth or you are standing immovable like a pillar of the Mighty Law of God, creating under the same Law of Divine Love in action your own individual gust of Cosmic Freedom. Beloved Hearts, in the main the conferring of Dominion on mankind is a contract entered into between God and Man. The very nature of God precludes any possibility of His rendering the contract of no effect by reason of non-performance of His promises (Heb. 10:23). And yet it is right that this contract between Man and his God Presence ought to be reciprocally observed. Divine Love in Itself, exercising the Power of the great bond between God and Man, is a pledged element of Spiritual Substance which acts as collateral to mankind. The vesting of Energy and Grace in Man quite naturally, then, must be partially forfeited when, through wrong action, the contract is broken by Man. The chastisements of Heaven are never punitive but instructive and it is ever and anon the Father's Will that each of the chelas expand his consciousness into the wondrous Octaves of Infinity, attaining each advanced degree of spirituality from the Hand of Divine Grace. The bonds of human karma, woven by the Energies of each man's lifestream, are like stellar influences. Both of these factors of influence yield the gentle impulse of Mercy when a lifestream demonstrates that purity of heart which challenges the very Heart of God as did the prodigal Son, saying "I will return to my Father's House!" The power of dominion cannot be exercised for another. Like many other Initiations, each individual must himself summon the fibre of constancy, the determination of the Will of Heaven and the Golden Thread of Illumination in order to combine all elevating Qualities into the elixir which, when quaffed, strengthens in man the bond of the Abundant Life. The words of The Christ, "I am come that ye might have Life and that more abundantly," are able to assuage to the present hour the griefs of men. Speaking of the Great Covenant of God, these priceless words encourage all to slough off human meanness and to cast themselves upon the Mercy of God. The yoke of The Law of Divine Kindness is of too pure a hue to mete out an "eye for an eye," for the Mosaic tradition was more an expression of men contemporary with Moses than of men contemporary with God. Those spiritually just men made Perfect, (the Ascended Masters and Great Avatars) who, in the interest of a recalcitrant humanity, have donned garments of flesh in order to afford the Mighty Powers of Life a channel and avenue reaching into the human octave, have given to mankind priceless Service which can only be balanced by mankind's recognition of the Divinity which originally endowed them and all men with the spirit of righteousness. I urge every reader of My words to recognize through mounting waves of intense gratitude that it is God within himself Whose pulsating Presence rises in these words as the Flame of Good Will, leaping as a child yet unborn to hear the living Word of God incarnate. A new Day of God infuses the tangled threads of present history as the softly suffused glow appears and brightens with Eternal Purpose. I AM the Eternal Will made manifest for you, EL MORYA ****** Chapter 45 Jesus Christ - November 8, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 45 - Jesus Christ - November 8, 1963 BEING Corona Class Lesson 43 Man "I AM the Door" To Those Desiring to Know God in Manifestation as Man - The statement "What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?"{62} spoken of old from the supplicant's heart, still engenders in men the tendency toward self-depreciation. Just as pride goeth before a fall,{63} so false humility is an unbalanced expression which our students dare not manifest. A wider understanding of the human ego and of what man is and is to be will enable each child of the Father to enter more fully into the abundant Life. Gratitude for the many blessings of Life would rise in wondrous spirals of attainment and God consciousness if people were able to understand more concerning the spiritual realities of themselves and less concerning the mask of mortal imperfection with which they cloak one another through calumny, deceit, and gossip. In the interest of our continuing service and instruction to those who would teach men the Way, it is my pleasure, together with beloved Kuthumi, to unfold in the consciousness of each aspirant a greater knowledge concerning his coming forth into being from the Father's wonderful heart of universal creativity. Will ye give ear, then, in his precious name, I AM, to this mighty message of Being, finding mirrored within it and within yourself a more abundant grace that will assist you in doing as I did: to mount up with wings as eagles{64} into that trackless continent of the air where virtue replaces error and understanding replaces ignorance. Remember, beloved ones, it is not the Father's will that one of these little ones should perish,{65} but that all should come to the marvelous knowledge of their True Self - face to face - even as He knows each one to be in truth. Paul said, "Now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."{66} John said, "We know that when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."{67} The question may therefore be asked by every disciple, "How can man know?" And this is a valid question for every serious student on the path of Christhood. In directing ourselves to the question of Being, we must first of all ask each individual to voluntarily silence the carnal mind, with all of its stored-up error, pent-up pride, and resistance to the unfoldment of divine Truth. And here we speak of the human mentality devoid of Higher Consciousness that is always enmity against God and his Self-knowledge{68} precisely because it has no Christ Self-awareness. For when that Truth shall fully appear to the soul, the soul shall be set free from the domination of the carnal mind - and that mind, having no more reason for being, displaced by the Mind of God which was in Christ Jesus,{69} ceases to be! For it simply cannot be where Christ is - and is the Christ/Truth in you. God's truth is the still small voice of his conscience (voicing the science of Being) within you. When you still the turmoil of the 'outer mind' in your world, that voice, more powerful still, will be heard in all of its tones of wondrous clarity and its mighty winged messages of love. It is this love of your Holy Christ Self that will exalt you into the fullness of the divine understanding about yourself. It is this love whose pinions will carry you into the rarefied atmosphere of the kingdom of heaven,{70} and it is this love which must express through you its tangible messages of hope to all God's children, remaining unqualified by human thought and feeling. So long as you allow the ups and downs of tyrannical human thoughts and feelings to take their toll, you will remain bound by the race thoughts (mortal laws) of disease, old age, decay, death - not to mention the fascination and gripping entrapment that will bind you to the maya of endless psychic thralldom. The tools employed in the building of faith are as essential as the tool of faith itself. Wise men, handling the building blocks of form, perceive the need for the rule, the compass, and the square. Are tools of mind and heart of less import or reality? I tell you nay. It is, therefore, essential that those who are agnostics or atheistically inclined be taught the facts concerning the True Self as one would teach these truths to the little children. We recognize the difficulty in this approach. Nevertheless, we admonish you to press on. Do not prejudge your hearer's capacity to comprehend Truth, neither underestimate the power of Truth to communicate itself through you by the Holy Spirit. To men and women who have woven the strands of communion between worlds it is unthinkable to deny our presence. Thus, it is sometimes exceedingly difficult for a spiritual teacher who has contacted the Christ-radiance to realize that there are men and women yet sitting in the shadow of unbelief. It is essential that a reasonable compassion for such as these be developed, lest in the ivory-towered state there remain no Christ-charity in the heart with which to reach these individuals who may desperately desire help to cross the abyss of their unbelief. Remember the cry of my own, "Lord, I believe, help thou mine unbelief!"{71} and give all the benefit of your faith, as I did, to the temporarily doubtful state of consciousness of the disciple who will later accomplish great works by a faith in my True Self and his - a faith which he will make his own. We do not propose that you involve yourselves, simply on the basis of human sympathy, with unbelievers in the reality of the Divine Self; but we do advocate a compassionate understanding of their plight and a willingness, for your own good as well as theirs, to supply a brother's need of faith, that he may take the leap of faith and be where I AM in thee - and thou in me.{72} Beloved, you are wayshowers even as I am; therefore, in drawing men unto the Father, you yourself must first draw very close to the Father. In approaching the Godhead, men must understand that they are not playing a losing game, but that they are winning their own victory. There is a tendency on the part of the students to believe too much in the reality of the senses and all that they perceive without paying allegiance to the powers of spiritual sensing which belong to the eyes of the soul. To screen out the nebulous (mistlike, hence mystifying) and vicious thoughts of the serpent mind, to screen out the psychic (astral, mayic) accumulations, which like a kaleidoscopic cinema divert the consciousness from the symmetry of the kingdom of God - is a necessity. In approaching the spiritual mount, the cosmic Olympus, men must not seek a God made in their image but rather conform themselves to God's image. The qualities of mortals are all too frequently imputed to the immortals. It seems difficult for men to perceive that the Ascended Masters are completely free of any imperfect thoughts and feelings, having ascended into the perfection of the octaves of universal Christ consciousness. In teaching people the realities of heaven, let the waves of aspiration from your heart be tethered to the stability of cosmic law. For your soul wed to Christ possesses the capability of rising through the mirage of human thought and emotion, through the psychic strata (the murky astral plane), up to the plane of God consciousness where all are held in the divine image. My statements "I AM the Door ..." and "I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me" imply that man cannot expect to know or reach God through the senses but through attunement with the Christ consciousness, the veritable image of God, the Sun of the I AM in every man. By relinquishing sense consciousness and becoming as a little child, "born again," man begins to weave strands of divine sensing whereby the Infinite is brought down into the chalice of present reality. To attain a knowledge of God requires the faith that He IS. The faith that right where you are He can declare I AM WHO I AM and unveil to you, as to Moses, the mystery of Being. To attain a knowledge of God demands a willingness to try to sense beyond appearances that Light which is "the true Light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world," though unfortunately to many it is the Light which "shineth in darkness, and the darkness [of material sense] comprehendeth it not."{73} Faith is the greatest spiritual catalyst to transport the soul into the realities of the octaves of God's consciousness. Quite naturally men will pledge their faith to that with which their reasoning faculties concur; therefore, it is the science of Being which must be communicated to the nonbeliever. Why not begin with the Chart of the Presence as a graphic presentation of the True Self and the true knowledge thereof which is actually transmitted to the soul by eye contact, quickening the inner memory and scientific knowledge of the blessed tie to God. Grounding your hearers on the Rock of the I AM Law of Being, point out the shifting sands of sudden change present in matter. This will communicate to them the truth that materiality lacks the stability and permanence of the Divine because its basis lies in imperfection and the limitations of the senses. Teach them that change, alchemical change, in its spiritual context, can be continuous and self-transforming through the creative processes of the Law of Love. This daily putting on of our garments of the LORD's consciousness of your unfolding divinity results in the constancy of newness of life founded on the Rock of universal perfection. Your beloved Saint Germain in his teaching of the I AM Law has for years communicated the divine stability to you, charging into your worlds the flame of freedom from his own heart. Cosmic freedom is imbued with cosmic stability - with power, with graciousness, with creativity, and with the divine expression. It is a tangible flame all about you which can be contacted to elevate you to our standard of perfection and beauty. This do and teach, remembering always my words, "Lo, I AM with you alway," even in the very heart of your being! In the love of Light, I remain with deepest love, Jesus [Taken from the book version Corona Class Lessons] ****** Chapter 46 Beloved Kuthumi - November 15, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 46 - Beloved Kuthumi - November 15, 1963 BEING Corona Class Lesson 44 Life "My Word Shall Live Forever" Dear Ones Who Would Know the Living Master in All Life - The most gracious gift of God to every lifestream is the totality of Being - not a mere fragment but the totality of that blessed Reality. The deceit of the senses has kept men and women from realizing in full potency all that is of the infinite nature within them awaiting holy recognition. God abides his eternity, peering through the screen of time and manifesting on the stage of life in various phases of his Reality; and yet, this too is Life. From this dream of partial knowledge men must awaken to behold the splendor of themselves in all things. Each blessed teacher of holy Truth must recognize that it is by the power of example that he can best serve the Great Law, for a good example has the power of ten thousand words and is amplified eternally in the heart of the beholder. If students who desire to teach others concerning the great reality of Life (as God) would determine to know that Reality (as God) and to manifest it themselves, they would by the power of their example bring the kingdom (consciousness) of God far nearer to their neighbors and loved ones than by all other methods of teaching. Let me make clear that I do not decry the power of words nor the value of holy instruction. But bearing in mind that the Word of God became embodied in form - and that he who was the Word incarnate declared, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away"{74} - I would see you amplify the power of the holy Word in example as the true manifestation of the Christ consciousness. This the Ascended Masters call the living Word. And this is the step-by-step process of the Incarnation which Life intends to be as much your own victory as it was that of beloved Jesus. There are certain teachers in the Far East who, lacking understanding, have declared that only a 'living Master' would suffice to teach them or transfer the essence of Light. These sincere but misinformed devotees have not been taught the meaning of Life, nor do they comprehend who or what is a so-called 'living Master'. Surely the capacity of God to communicate with his own is not limited to a flesh-and-blood manifestation of himself! Surely the Word was made flesh to accommodate man's comprehension, not God's! Surely a Master who has walked the earth, transmitting the Word to his disciples - performed feats that defy ordinary physics, with signs following{75} of healings, miracles, and a body of teaching that has withstood the rigorous tests of time - loses neither his life nor his mastership by stepping beyond the pale of temporal life and a body temple ill-equipped for higher octaves! It seems that the cherished apostle Paul covered the controversy quite well: "But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? ... There are also celestial bodies and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another."{76} Rest assured, beloved, that the Life of God does not terminate when the soul of man steps forth from the body temple and exchanges its earthly garments for one more ethereal. As Life is God, it is continuous. The true Master, whether in the body or out of the body, is he in whom the Word is embodied as the active principle for and on behalf of the Almighty's Law of Life. The power to communicate from the higher to the lower octaves is possessed by every Ascended Master and requires but the pole of a receptive chela to transmit the vibratory action of spiritual assistance, love, and blessing - including fresh solutions to stale problems, nifty ideas and practical inventions that are the gift from the Master's heart to the chela for the whole human race. The Life of God is present in the mineral, vegetable, and animal kingdoms and throughout the unseen world of Nature spirits - a kingdom teeming with 'elemental' life, the happy chatter of elves and fairies, gnomes at work (though not always whistling!), sylphs arranging clouds and tumbling in the winds, undines splashing in the waves and salamanders dancing in fiery rings of rainbow rays. So great a weight of mankind's karma do they bear that the gnomes themselves take on man's ways, becoming grumpy, grouchy until a sweet teacher appears (like the blessed Mother in the guise of Snow White) to lead them gently up the scale of their earthly evolution under their hierarchs, Virgo and Pelleur, the masterful beings who maintain the balance of forces in the earth. The gnomes serve in the physical plane just beyond the veil (spectrum) of ordinary sight. Here they are called the earth elementals. Sometimes you catch sight of them out of the corner of your eye - then think you must have imagined it! Sylphs service the domain of the skies and the air purification and pressure systems. This all observe in the alchemical changes of weather and cycles of photosynthesis and precipitation. These elementals are masterful creatures who expand and contract their airy 'bodies' from microcosmic to macrocosmic levels, always keeping the flame for the realm of the mind, the mental plane which corresponds to the air element - one of the four elements designated by the ancient alchemists. Hence, sylphs are known as the air elementals. They respond to the command of their hierarchs, Aries and Thor. The configuration of the earth body and earth chemistry, reduced to four distinct stages or qualities of substance - fire, air, water, and earth{77} - by the mystical brotherhood of early scientists whose quest to control natural forces included the elusive goal of turning base metals into gold by transmutation - was in fact not far from higher truth. The four lower bodies of man do relate to the so-called four planes of Matter serviced by cosmic forces focusing through the lesser evolved beings of Nature. In fact, you may be interested to know that the elementals were also created by Elohim to serve the sons and daughters of God as they, too, master the earth sciences and take dominion in space (both inner and outer) and in time. As man seeks to conquer his world in the sea of waters and in the sea of light, in the vibrations of subatomic and supersonic realms by way of proving his God-control of the universe step by step in all facets of the four kingdoms, unbeknownst to his outer awareness he is cooperating with elementals who have kept things under control for millions of years. The fiery salamanders hold the secrets of the fire element, corresponding with the etheric body. At precisely what point the physical fire, elusive and most difficult to control, becomes the sacred fire is a mystery taught by the Holy Spirit, observed in the sacred heart of the saints, touched upon lightly by nuclear scientists, but held firmly in hand by the fire elementals. In obedient and loving service to their hierarchs, Oromasis and Diana, their domain stretches from the nucleus of every atom and cell of Life to the core of the earth. They are compassionate and brilliant teachers ready to teach mankind practical ways of harnessing universal energy - from the heart of the electron to the heart of the sun. The water elementals, portrayed in the elusive but enchanting mermaids, have inspired many a tale of romance between the human and elemental evolutions. 'Crossing over' from the elemental to the human kingdom is a known phenomenon. It is a door that has opened and been shut again to allow, in certain isolated cases, a particularly precious elemental of virtue and attainment to move on in the scale of evolution through the family of humanity, ultimately to acquire the divine spark. More frequently, elementals cross over to the animal kingdom, accelerating evolution by serving man through the highly intelligent species, such as elephants, whales, porpoises, and even particularly loving and responsive dogs or horses. The race memory of such occurrences goes back to the mists of Lemuria and Atlantis and is held today as legend or fairy tale, myth or make-believe by those whose lives would be too turned around to suit their pace or personal self-esteem, were they to take seriously this 'sub-level' of a lifewave, perceived at subconscious levels but denied everywhere except in the play of a midsummer night's dream. Nevertheless, the serious work of the undines moves on as the oceans and the rivers and the lakes, streams and rivulets and raindrops all play a part in the formation and re-formation of the body of our planet and of man, utterly dependent upon the elementals. The undines, who also laugh and play in the waves and waterfalls, lovingly follow the example of their hierarchs. Neptune is the king of the deep and his consort, Luara, is mother of tides, governing cycles of fertility and the water element as it affects the emotional body (known as the water, feeling, or desire body) and the communications of mankind's joy, grief, guilt, anger, and love through the astral plane, strongly influencing the collective unconscious of the race. There is a great difference in the consciousness of the mineral, vegetable, animal, and human kingdoms serviced by the four types of elementals. Just as the body of man is not aware of itself in sleep, so the mineral kingdom does not possess self-awareness but manifests a specific quality of 'mineral density' which elemental life has charged into the substance of matter. For example, the gnomes, although scarce recognized by the average Westerner - yet made known to the Irish as the "little people," or as mischievous fairies called leprechauns - do exist and impart to the mineral kingdom a wonderful quality of spiritual radiance which passes through the consciousness of the elemental's own being directly from the sun parents of this system - Helios and Vesta. The gnomes are charged with the responsibility of administering the divine pattern for each rock, precious stone, and element of mineral life. By a like token, there are also many ethereal angelic beings (of the devic evolution) responsible for ensouling the God-design in the natural order. Trees and plants, of course, do not possess the awareness of either the human or the elemental consciousness but have imparted to them, by the advanced devas who watch over them, a greater degree of Life awareness than that retained by the mineral kingdom. The ensoulment of trees and plants by the devas who direct the specific plant elementals assigned to categories of flora - and exist in such numberless numbers as to tend, literally, everything that grows - accounts for the undeniable fact that people who attune their spiritual centers to the Nature kingdom are able to speak to trees and plants and receive a physically perceptible response to the spark of consciousness communicated to the plant through its "nerve system." The life-force in plants and animals has been isolated in Kirlian photography, revealing an aura of universal energy, an electromagnetic field, also common to man. Stepping up in the scale of Life-expressions from flora to fauna, we discover by like attunement the group-soul of animal species manifesting qualities of higher intelligence. Many animals possess almost human characteristics and an uncanny sense, almost psychic in its display. This is especially true of certain breeds of dogs and horses, and is marked in the elephant and the lower primates. Mammals of the sea, fish, seals, and penguins are not excluded from a very wonderful intelligence, and further study by sensitive scientists will reveal a marvelous attunement, through the heart of all Life, everywhere in the Nature kingdom. Entomologists never cease to be amazed at the wonders of the ant; and the goad of the wise man "Go to the ant, thou sluggard ..."{78} indicates that man has a great deal to learn from the veritable mysteries of Nature. All this lovely creation imbued with a portion of the Divine Intelligence is deemed the "footstool kingdom" of God and was originally placed under the dominion of man as the manifestation of God. Through contaminating vibrations of cruelty, Nature has absorbed human imperfection. The savage qualities of jungle beasts are considered animalistic, whereas in reality, when the truth of life is known and the record of akasha and the planetary aura is accurately read, it will be learned that animal as well as elemental life originally absorbed their gross and sometimes grotesque outpicturings from mankind. Savagery, cannibalism, violence, revenge, and killing originated in mankind's lowest evolutionary descent and were transmitted directly by vibration (here proving that the power of example can also be the worst teacher) to the subspecies. Therefore, the animal magnetism in humans - often sub-animal, wreaking a devilish wrath - must be redeemed (i.e., transmuted by the violet flame) in the process of freeing the planet. This you can begin to effect right now by fervent calls for the action of the circle and sword of blue flame of Astrea, the universal Mother figure functioning at the level of Elohim (personified in the East as Kali) who cuts free her children evolving in every kingdom from the imposed evil matrix of the vengeful fallen angels. The violet fire that flows from your determined, heartfelt decrees literally lifts the pall of human consciousness from all elemental life.{79} It is integral to the reclamation of Nature's beauty. Beloved Saint Germain and other Ascended Masters have in various associations of their embodiments had contact with elemental life evolving through the animal kingdom. In some cases, this necessitated their later intercession on behalf of certain elementals embodied in animal form. The freeing of these blessed elementals 'imprisoned' in dense bodies has on more than one occasion been the gift of love and violet fire from the ascended one to that elemental part of Life with whom they had prior contact. Through the radiation of kindness, joy, and gratitude, all Nature will ultimately attain a pristine state of Edenic perfection where "the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard with the kid, the calf and the young lion together ..."{80} The law of the savage jungle will be abrogated by Christ-power, and those men so fortunate as to remain upon this planet will be living Christs. Through their intercession, all elementals will be set free from confinement to the temporary animal forms. The radiation of divine Love rising to a pulsation of great power will instantaneously sever and dissolve the connection of the evolved elementals with the self-limiting animal matrix and consciousness. Some of you will recall reading of my love for the birds and creatures and that they came to me without fear. Beloved hearts, in most animals fear is the result of mankind's own feelings which are, or have been, projected to the animals through the mass mind. Man's survival instincts retained from prehistoric times sustain a fierce desire to self-protect. Race memories of past encounters with savage beasts keep alive a record and an automatic reflex whereby man reverts to a defensive posture when sensing the presence of certain wild animals. Through Christ-power, men can make an appeal to the great Law of Life to free them from this latent fear that engenders alienation from all elemental life. We do not advocate recklessness in approaching wild animals, for until the inner action of transmuting all fear and doubt into love is complete, people would do well not to expose themselves unduly to dangers from animal life which yet responds to man from the lowest levels of world consciousness - for the flame of resurrection is yet to be transferred to them by sons and daughters of a God-mastery regained. Remember, dear hearts, only when all fear is removed from within yourself, especially the subconscious, by the Great God Presence of Life will the lower-vibrating energy of the cobra, the lion, and all destructive beasts yield to the mighty power of your real attainment in Christ. Thus, we remind those who are beginning to realize that their own self-mastery is the key to the victory of all earth's evolutions: He who keepeth himself (his four lower bodies) and the gateway to his own house (his consciousness, body temple, and chakras) is greater than the ruler of a city. As Solomon put it - and you would do well to consider his wisdom: "He that is slow to anger [keeping the vigil of God-control in his mental and feeling bodies] is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit [maintaining the God-control of the sacred fire in a figure-eight flow from the etheric to the physical body] than he that taketh a city."{81} As you prepare to teach men many of the great laws of Being, you must show them that these laws are interwoven with the realities all around them. How can they extricate themselves from the maya and delusion of the ages unless they are able to see God woven into substance and to recognize the hand of the Infinite in all outer expressions? The day of great golden illumination is at hand! "Say not ye, There are yet four months and then cometh harvest? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes and look on the fields, for they are white already to harvest."{82} Many are called, but few choose to offer themselves to be the Master's vessel. In love of service to Life, I AM Kuthumi [Taken from the book version Corona Class Lessons] ****** Chapter 47 Beloved Jesus the Christ - November 22, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 47 - Beloved Jesus the Christ - November 22, 1963 BEING Corona Class Lesson 45 Image "God Created Man in His Own Image" Beloved Ones of Greater Light Moving toward Self-Knowledge of the Kingdom Within - Gazing upon the reflected image of Self, most men do not perceive the reality of Being, but they are able to comprehend in part its grandiose meaning through variegated aspects of Truth. When qualified "mirrors" of spiritual ability come into being, reflecting the Spirit of Truth to the same degree of accuracy that a physical mirror images the physical self, man will have achieved a greater sense of Reality. The carnal mind is, and ought to be recognized as, an aspect of the eternal Mind which has traduced the original intent and become the channel for the silt which churlishly meanders along the stream of time but in no way interprets to man the crystal-clear reality of his Being. To remove the impure image is the first step, then, in perceiving man's reality in Truth. My statements concerning the necessity of regeneration spoken unto Nicodemus, which have been so frequently quoted and misquoted, convey to the elect the truth about man's internal nature: "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." "That which is born of the flesh is flesh"{83} refers not alone to the flesh form but to that which is created by and issued forth from the carnal nature of man. That which proceeds from the spiritual nature of man in all of its mighty stream of shining perfection is the reality of each one's Divine Selfhood. The spiritual nature of man, which is of the Being of God, can be realized only through the Mind of God. Therefore, the carnal mind does not and cannot know the Mind of God: "For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be."{84} Problems of understanding arise in connection with these teachings which are inherent in the very substance of thy mortality interwoven and overlaid upon thy immortality. Identification with the outer (superficial) layers of consciousness, the mortal mind with its old familiar personality traits - identification with name, family, race, and class - tends to make men oblivious of their divine identity. The problem of self-identification in God (to this day, some who profess belief in me as their Saviour vehemently deny that God is their own Real Self!) has to do with the fact that each of the four lower bodies - the very vehicles and faculties necessary to perceive Truth in the physical plane - has a coating of illusion that makes both the problem and the solution to the definition of Being unclear. Alas, such is the nature of the carnal mind (as it stains the four lower bodies with the dye of nonidentification with the living God), from which the soul must be rescued by the living Christ! O my beloved, do take pity upon the poor souls buried under a heap of carnal illusion spawned by the mass media and the educational systems - saturating the thinking/feeling/memory process of an entire generation! Now, when I said, "The poor ye have with you always,"{85} I was in no way limiting access to the abundant Life that is available in the universe to every man who will reach out his hand and partake of the waters of Life freely. I referred to the fact that men and women of the carnal sense are always in the process of shedding that sense - the impoverished sense of material life - for the abundant Life of God. And until they complete the process, they remain poor in both the spiritual and material things of life. (I also referred to the fact that someone always occupies the lowest rung on the karmic ladder; therefore, the poorest of the poor will remain an economic category as well as a spiritual one, just as there is always someone at the top and the bottom of the graduating class.) The world is no different today - except that there has been a proliferation of both the rich and the poor, increasing the demand for shepherds to feed my sheep and ministering servants to heal both states of consciousness, for the rich as well as the poor have need to be healed of their false belief concerning their true identity. When I said, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven,"{86} I referred to the fact that those who are poor in the 'spirit' of the material sense are usually less encumbered by the things of this world and more ready to accept the spiritual sense. (I also referred to the vacuum created by the spiritually impoverished sense that must be filled with the knowledge of the kingdom of heaven, the state of being not empty but full with the Spirit.) I should like to call to the attention of my students the statements which I made concerning John the Baptist and those which he made concerning me. John declared, "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear. He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire."{87} Of John, I spake and said, "Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist; notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he."{88} Obviously, beloved ones, John the Baptist himself was in the kingdom of heaven (i.e., caught up in the consciousness of the Spirit) and therefore the great maxim included him also. To understand my words correctly, it must be seen that they applied only to the outer sense of John the Baptist; although he was the greatest ever born of women and greater, yet this material sense did not yield the spiritual sense of his own immortality. The inner spiritual sense, then, of "the least in the kingdom of heaven" is greater than the outer material sense of anyone on earth. He said of me, "He must increase, but I must decrease,"{89} thus affirming the need for every man to increase his Christ consciousness and decrease his carnal sense. I make this distinction today for a very urgent reason. Down through the centuries theologians and holy seekers have seldom, if ever, been able to clarify for themselves or the brethren the difference between the immortal, altogether lovely and perfect God Self of man and his human creation. My statement "The Son of man is come to save that which was lost"{90} denotes that a part of man has strayed from the intended God-design. That part is the soul which by free will chose to try on the various costumes of the carnal logic - and then by enchantment with its glamour, style, and look, did not strip off those garments! Did not prefer the purity of the temple attire! Inasmuch as that which strayed, then, could not, by definition, remain the reflection of the altogether lovely and perfect divine image of God (for it chose not to), it follows that that which has partaken of error is the consciousness of the soul-manifestation (personality) which allowed its energy to flow into patterns of imperfection. This mere misqualification has become a form of temporal reality to those who believe in the materiality of sense manifestation - and will defend it with their very (material sense of) life. Those who have identified with the human self-misqualification for so long - spanning millions of years of the false belief in mortality, embodiment after mortal embodiment - have for the same time/space stretch persistently ignored the mighty possibility of the great Divine Self. Why? As you observe the psychology of those to whom you minister, beloved, consider if it is not the defense mechanism of the carnal mind that must preserve the elaborate security system of lies and luring self-delusions in which it has wrapped (and mummified) that lost soul! And, I pray you, have compassion! The Christ of every man is the Great Mediator between the perfection of God, the Divine Self, and the marred or 'fallen' (i.e., lowered in frequency and vibration) soul image which has become the focal point for the repetition of his human creation, round upon round. It is therefore this image - this self-indoctrinating image allowed by a blinded free will - which must be redeemed and purified so that the soul may once again pattern its works after the perfect image of Christ. This Christ can be reinstated in the four lower bodies by a cry for help and the act of free will that at last bids welcome to the Real Self. That cry for liberation from the tyranny of the carnal mind is the distress signal that sets in motion the forces of the Great White Brotherhood - the armies of The Faithful and True.{91} It is the call which compels the answer, beloved, of my Christ, your Christ. And you can give it right now. With the Chart of Your Divine Self before you, face the Supreme Ruler of the Universe, thy God, and affirm with all thy heart in a loud voice: "The Light of God never fails! The Light of God never fails! The Light of God never fails! And the Beloved Mighty I AM Presence is that Light!" Repeat this call four times, expelling the carnal mind from each of your four lower bodies as you do. And accept your freedom and your reality by the authority of the Christ who I AM, who You Are - with you now! Congratulations! You have begun the redemptive process. The process of redemption is one in which the energies woven into the garment of self in misunderstanding and misqualification are painstakingly undone by the supplicant soul under the direction of the Holy Spirit. The energies of error coalesced around the marred image producing imperfect patterns in the four lower bodies must be released into the pure stream of God's consciousness and transmuted by the fires of trial and purification.{92} The energies you restore to their original polarity each day by the science of the spoken Word are ready to be invested into a new creation - like the clay which the potter uses over and over again. Thus, the 'repolarized' energy is spun as golden light substance from the Son (Sun) of God into the seamless garment of the living Christ. Thus, dual man, as the son of manifestation and as the Son of God, is reinvested with his Real Image and is become one Reality! To communicate this divine idea, this teaching of his Real Self to the natural man, wedded as he is to his false image, is 'naturally' most difficult. Teleological, theological, and psychological factors relating to his cherished sense of self arise in man's consciousness to speak to him of outer things and to impart to him a false idea of the very dominion with which God has endowed him. He feels wholly qualified to judge and, rightfully so, does not assign to another the task of choosing this day whom he will serve.{93} His identification with the material sense and self is often so complete that he finds it very difficult - and let every teacher understand this - to accept the science of that Being, that 'Oversoul' which is invisible to his outer senses. This is why I spake unto Thomas as he thrust his fingers into the nail prints in my hand and his hand into the spear wound in my side, saying: "Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed; blessed are they who have not seen and yet have believed."{94} The demands which men make of the Law to perform a cosmic miracle are very great; albeit those who are able to absorb by the power of great faith in God the holy perfection of their own Being - without demanding the expenditure of heaven's energy in creating miraculous (or so-called miraculous) manifestations - are the more advanced disciples. These use the spiritual eye to identify spiritual substance rather than the material eye or empirical evidence to confirm or prove spiritual Truth. The Great Law of man's Being is "Because Thou art, I AM." Without the identity of God, all Life would cease to be. God is Life and this is the greater Truth encompassing the lesser manifestation. To say that Life is God, while true, is problematical unless the life that is expressed by man be the Life which God created. The outer form is only Godly, then, when it expresses divine qualities: man himself is only a manifestation of God when he is expressing Godly attributes. His identity is God's only when he self-identifies with God through words and works identical to God's. And this is possible, else I would not have commanded my own, "Be ye therefore perfect, even as [in a like manner as] your Father in heaven is perfect!"{95} The statements I made to other men which caused some to shudder and do so to the present day - "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. ... Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?"{96} - referred to the Great Law in action, the Word who judges every man according to his own word and work and the motives, intents, thoughts, and feelings behind them. These true expressions of self which reveal what a man thinketh in his heart identify in turn his will as it aligns either with the carnal nature of deified evil or with the nature of the Deity Himself and His righteousness in action. Listen not to the proud talkers boasting about, but observe their doings. Indeed, what do they do to merit eternal Life? And then observe those whose words (except for their perpetual prayer{97}) are few but whose acts of compassion - enlightening, healing, and liberating souls - are many. Thus, in the end, as in the beginning, man condemns himself to his imperfect image or justifies himself in the image of God - by the quality of his heart - revealed vibrationally in his own words and his works. This teach, lest the unwary fall by the wayside and lose the prize. As the earth shall be full of my knowledge,{98} so the Law of Righteousness shall follow those who pursue it. Men are not here to judge or to criticize one another, but to judge (ascertain) that they themselves do not cast a stumbling block in another's pathway. This they may forestall by recognizing the perfection of their own Being and giving preeminence to its expression while extolling the same possibility for their fellow creatures. By so teaching and imbibing this cup of Life which is God, my disciples shall commune forever with the kingdom of our Father.

We do not wish to discourage our students' appreciation for the benign aspects of their environment nor to retard their expression of gratitude for material comforts received from the heart of God. It is our wish to convey to those desiring to progress into the true nature of Being the method and means whereby they may, at will, shatter their own complacency with their surroundings and expand their consciousness into those far-reaching aspects of Being which are verily more a part of Reality than immediate concerns and circumstances. The contemplation of the Fatherhood of God is an invaluable safeguard when journeying in consciousness from the familiar world of day-to-day routine into the vast and infinite reaches of God's immortal love and loveliness. When contemplating a landscape, you will note that there is usually a foreground and a background in the painting. The foreground conveys the idea of immediacy and the feeling that one can be a part of the scene. The background, while sometimes within reach, engages the imagination to explore the unknown, and the sky beyond opens the mind to the far reaches of infinity. Through the metaphor of art we shall, by and by, relate the nature of man's being to spiritual Reality. Beloved hearts, nowhere in the universe is there a lack of beauty, for God is everywhere. Let none, therefore, fear to expand his consciousness. The exploration of earth, the solar systems, and all of cosmos through the expanding soul consciousness offers far more safety and satisfaction in probing the unknown than mankind are presently realizing through scientific exploration by satellite, rocketry, or spacecraft. Today, when education is held up before the youth as a means to greater economic security, it is not difficult to convince people of its value. Throughout the world many aspire to knowledge - some for career, financial gain, status, and community service, some to self-knowledge through psychology, while others reach for the mysticism of the saints. These represent the near and distant goals approachable in succeeding stages of life, which become legitimate (viable) according to the needs of the soul, the demands of karma, and the impelling of the divine plan. Yet there are many more who prefer to remain in ignorance rather than exert the effort to rise out of it. This is the lethargy of the sleepfulness of the ages. Left to itself, it becomes a chronic disease of human creation. Hypnotic and loathsome, this malady leaves its victims unable to summon the energy to pursue virtue and honor through lawful occupation (right livelihood). All admonishments spoken herewith concerning the nature of man's being are given not to condemn but to spur our readers onward and upward into Life and real living by transporting you from the mundane to those immediate areas of Self, just beyond the fringe of present attainment, and thence safely forward on a journey into Being which will expand not only your intellectual capacities but also your awareness of that other self, the inner self, or soul. While in a very real sense man's true identity is sealed with the Father in heaven (his eternal Shepherd being his Holy Christ Self), often neither his I AM Presence nor his Higher Self is recognized by him. Sometimes this occurs by reason of the very proximity of the Father and the Son, so contrasting man's temporal transfixion with his immediate environment and its manifold problems that heaven seems unreal and beyond reach - as far away as the most distant background and so far into the future as to be totally irrelevant to the now. In resistance to spiritual prodding from on high, many have desired to express themselves in an entirely physical way, denying the authenticity of spiritual experiences and faculties. Leaning upon the testimony of the senses, they hold to an empirical ideal which must ultimately crumble with the dissolution of the material self upon their own demise. Quite to the contrary, some souls in their desire to escape from their human creation have espoused the path of sainthood and through asceticism or mysticism have lived differently than their more materialistic counterparts in the world of form. By striking a balance in the nature of his being, man can experience the spiritual world yet remain tethered to the schoolrooms of earth, mastering the required lessons, enjoying life to the fullest from the inner vantage, not neglecting his duty to family and friends, and ultimately achieve his victory over his outer self and its outer conditionings. Just as it would be unwise to neglect the care of the physical body, so it is unwise to neglect the care of the spiritual nature. Taking the part of greater wisdom, I admonish you to give compassionate yet unselfish attention to both. When the shell of materiality is outgrown by the victorious spirit, man rises to a dominion of crowning glory greater than that of the angels. The proper use of free will makes man Godlike by choice. His restoration to the God-estate releases his Adamic nature from the fetters of earth and enables him to righteously regain entrée into that paradise of consciousness from which, through inversion of Principle, he fell. Energy is impersonal. It flows through man's consciousness to do his bidding either by conscious direction or in a haphazard manner. Consecration and concentration on Ascended Master laws must ultimately yield a higher expression of the nature of Being. Meeting the challenges of life as Christ did in his Palestinian mission, the ministering servant cannot help but be the victor. Human criteria must not be used in assessing the progress of the soul, yet in the words of the early apostle, "Let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters."{99} Greater Godliness ought to be an expression carried forth with an holy zeal into the whole realm of man's being. It is not enough merely to rise by the power of prayer to a state where one is able scientifically to wrest the advantage from universal Law. The scriptures have recorded that "the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force."{100} But the kingdom of God, the kingdom of His image and His consciousness called forth through His qualities, is the one true expression that shall win man's permanent victory for him. Blessed hearts, there are so many aspects to the Law, and yet in practice the Law is quite plain. As it is written: "Love is the fulfilling of the Law" - the whole Law of man's Being.{101} Therefore, we would not complicate man's pathway toward salvation; neither would we oversimplify spiritual matters. This would only mislead our earnest students into byways and pitfalls, wasting precious time and energy and perhaps compromising the possibility of victory. Men cannot change what they are at a given moment. Indeed, "Can a leopard change his spots?"{102} Well, not on the instant. The cycles necessary for the alchemical precipitation of Christhood must be fulfilled, by law. Whether a man's status be at the position of zero achievement or a zero plus x, it ought to be acknowledged that the infinite possibilities attainable in the now are won by men and women who, having the power of faith to believe in the justice of universal Christ-love and in the accuracy of divine Law, are willing to implement their belief by right action. This, coupled with the determination to progress on the path of discipleship and to acquire the necessary spiritual understanding, will push back the shadows of ignorance and light their way to the great throne room - the secret chamber of the heart where the Great Three-in-One is unveiled as the threefold flame of living Life. Here in the laboratory of Being, the Master Alchemist, the beloved Christ Self, teaches the soul step by step how to wield the sacred sword of the Word to take victorious dominion over every untoward condition in the four planes of Matter and his corresponding four lower bodies. This necessitates the vanquishing by the all-consuming violet flame of his negative astrology and the ominous forecasts of his descending karma. Both of these he can discern by learning how to chart his personal cycles on the Cosmic Clock.{103} There are none upon earth bereft of spiritual guidance - except by their own rejection of the Spirit of guidance. The Divine Presence of every man's being is pouring out a Niagara of energy daily for and on behalf of the individual lifestream. The Holy Christ Self is releasing streams of highly qualified God-direction; and the Ascended Masters are adding the momentum of their specialized assistance to all Life upon earth. It remains for those sensitive, faith-filled individuals to pan for the gold flowing in the stream of their own consciousness and to catch its golden nuggets. Each one must draw wisdom's flame and garment closely about him, bearing in mind the teaching of Jesus that unto the one who ingeniously multiplies his talents more is given, but from the unrighteous steward who has nothing to show for his spiritual/ financial endowments shall be taken away even that which he hath.{104} Be ye therefore unafraid to share in holy wisdom, being careful to select from those nuggets of spiritual Truth, stored for safekeeping in your immortal being, special gifts to bless your brothers and sisters with the illumination that banishes ignorance forever from their spiritual quest. There is a special act of grace given to all who seek to teach men of lesser comprehension concerning the glories of God's kingdom. Spiritual teachers on earth guided wholly by sincerity are, by reason of their stand, angel ministrants in human form. These are not removed in a corner{105} of obscure or fruitless identity, but stand forth to hold the chaliced Word of God. "Fear not, little children, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom"{106} is their message. These recognize and should teach that spiritual knowledge is not acquired through merely reading and hearing metaphysical truths but by putting into practice the Presence of Life, of God, and of Charity in all of one's affairs. Only then does knowledge become attainment. The greatest expansion of Being occurs through sharing. For God is the greatest sharer of all. As Christ brake the loaves on the shores of the sea of Galilee, so the Father breaks the bread of Being and communicates his own Identity - the whole loaf - to every son of God who resolves to return to his Father's house. I lift my torch before the golden door of your Being. I AM your brother, Kuthumi [Taken from the book version Corona Class Lessons] ****** Chapter 49 Beloved Jesus the Christ and Kuthumi - December 6, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 49 - Beloved Jesus the Christ and Kuthumi - December 6, 1963 BEING Corona Class Lesson 47 Heart " ... In the Integrity of Thy Heart" Light Emanations from the Father's Heart, How I Love Thee! The order of Being proceeds in radiant emanation directly from the central heart of God. From the center, or throne, of God-identity, awareness of the total emanation is possible. From a point located upon one of the circles of emanation, either a part or the whole of that particular cycle may be known. To reach across or to expand beyond man's present cycle or to reach backward to the central point of origin is sometimes difficult for those geographically and consciously positioned in the outer spheres, afar and apart from the heart center of Identity. It has ever been my wish to convey to the children of God the nature of their total Being in order to enhance the fulfillment of their hopes, to make possible their union with the allness of God, and to assist them in stretching their identity into areas of greater happiness and wholeness. Verily, to heal that which is lame, to restore crooked limbs, to magnify the sacred fire of perfection within the crucible of man's identity is my passion. Identification of Being with consciousness is incomplete in man until he becomes wholly identified with the Center Source of creation. This enables man to proceed in orderly succession from that Center through all the concentric cycles of creation to the periphery of all that is. There is no limit, no ultimate, no final end in the wondrous Spirit of God. Indeed, "the wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit." {107} The Holy Spirit must needs express qualities of intelligence, qualities of power, and qualities of great love. It is unthinkable that even a little child imbued with the holiness of God should fail to exude the fragrance of a wistful, searching intelligence and a buoyant yet balanced outreaching love - a love extending beyond the borders of persons, places, conditions or things, a love centered in the very heart of Truth and Identity complete. As you observe the passing scene and the fleeting glances on the faces of those around you, as you interpret the distresses of the multitudes and see them as sheep gone astray from the great sheepfold, bear in mind that many are the self-made victims of a human tide of transgression against the laws of Being that has occurred throughout history. These tides of aggressive human intent have been willfully and ignorantly expressed in place of (and as counterfeits of) the triune qualities of the Spirit. Mankind's misguided judgment, condemning one another, has brought the curse of Cain upon their own houses. The tyranny, rebellion, and haughty zeal of the carnally-minded and the rich have not brought them an iota of eternal freedom or God-happiness. Genuine Godliness, the deep, unmovable, abiding love that censures not but seeks to hallow all of Life, transcends all vain theology which attempts to fix men into walled compartments of race and creed. Let none deny the virtue of right use of opportunity and energy. Through wise measurement of the hour at hand and maximum amplification of its potential, men are indeed positioned nearer to the kingdom of God. Yet the most wayward sheep deserve attention and understanding. It is the stripping of the layers of misqualified energy from the lost sheep to which we must dedicate ourselves; by rightfully vesting them as sons of God we may immaculately behold each emanation of the Godhead as being one, in and from the Father's heart. To behold in man the completeness of his divinity, identity must be shorn of all elements of human creation with which he has clothed it. His energies must be offered upon the altar of God to be transmuted and consumed by the living flame of Truth and the purified radiance of his true Being. Washed in the Life of the spiritual Lamb of God that taketh away every stain, and wipeth every tear from human eyes,{108} his consciousness is free at last (karmically free) to identify completely with the Being of man who is in truth the Son of God. Lovingly, I AM Jesus Holy Grail "Are Ye Able to Drink of the Cup?" by Kuthumi To You, Lovers of Truth, Who Meditate on the Great Sun Disc - Our most gracious elder brother, beloved Jesus, has offered us a wonderful exposition on the nature of Being. As we work in a spirit of cooperative teaching, I am offering to the Presence of Life the consecration of all God's wholeness that has ever been externalized in my consciousness down through the ages. This I lay at the altar of the Christ - identity of every disciple. Little children, think for a moment what the world would be like if the wonderful ideas and hopes of Godliness were not offered to the souls of men. The despairs that tear and sear human hearts, caught in the net of the years, would present such utter hopelessness that few of the spiritually sensitive on the planet, upon whom rests the hope of the multitudes for the healing balm of Life, could endure the rigors of life from day to day. But the glories that stream from afar and draw so very near - bearing the songs of the angels and the radiant hopes of saintly souls that long ago trod the Earth and the Venus star of the Father's great love - carry energies of renewal, fresh with hope, to each one's being. How miragelike men seem on the desert of life receding before the ever-expanding consciousness of the Son of God, for it cannot be otherwise. That which is finite is of the temporal, evolving nature which has not yet apprehended infinity. That which is eternal needs no lens through which to gaze upon its own reality, for it is imminently aware of all that it is and ever shall be. It follows, then, that the long night of man's becoming shall break as the dawn of man's Being, softly stealing with the First Ray and expanding unto the sevenfold complement of the individualization of the God flame. The ancient Egyptians utilized the solar symbol, as did the mystic religions of South America and Atlantis. In the symbol of the solar disc, great truth is enshrined: the Sun of man's Being; the Light of God that never fails; the Sun-beam, the individualized light ray that may be used by the soul (the 'little Sol') to expand outward from the center or to move as a shuttle backward to the heart of Light. Man, the monad, man the individual part of the Whole, may slip into the shining sea where only purity can be; but he cannot carry thither his hates and frustrations, his doubts and despairs. These must first be dissolved before complete reunion with God can occur, else the soul which is wedded to the ideational pattern of man's external concepts will itself be dissolved and returned to primal substance by the pressure of the great Light of God and the sacred fires of perfection. Infinity alone can know the Infinite. It is, then, in the state of becoming Infinite that men truly contact the hem of the garment of their own Being and are made whole. The issue of blood which troubled the woman for many years ere she touched the hem of Christ's garment{109} symbolizes the issuing forth of man's life-energy in wasted years of fruitless existence. The drying up of the "fountain of blood" through the healing power of the living Christ symbolizes the redirection of Light flowing from the fount of energy, the Mighty I AM Presence, into the chalice of individuality. The Light, skillfully redirected by the Master Physician, restored the 'woman' (symbolizing the feminine nature of the receptive soul) to her original reason for being: evermore to be a Holy Grail of infinite capacity. Upon feeling the regenerative powers of the Christ, the errant knight of the outer self seeks to drink the cup of true Being and to pursue that Light which has never shone on land or sea,{110} for it is the internal nature of all things which has never been profaned by the grossness of outer expression. It is this Light which maketh all things whole, whose shining gleams forth from the Grail and exhorts the lesser radiance to become the greater. No loss is ever the portion of that one who, desiring not to abide in the aloneness of outer self-expression, unites with the all-oneness of God. Supreme questing-fulfillment beholds in hope the day-to-day challenge to keep on keeping on - assuredly to find in time and space the priceless, eternal treasure of Being. All this I AM. Lovingly, Kuthumi Notes for "Heart" [Taken from the book version Corona Class Lessons] ****** Chapter 50 Beloved Jesus the Christ - December 13, 1963 ****** Vol. 6 No. 50 - Beloved Jesus the Christ - December 13, 1963 BEING Corona Class Lesson 48 Love "Charity Never Faileth" To Students of Holy Wisdom Who Shall Teach Men the Way - The chastisement which, all too often, men feel for themselves in moments of self-censure is easily transferred when disapproval of another registers on the screen of consciousness. This externalization of subjective self-condemnation is known as projection; it illustrates the great law that you will never esteem God or his manifestation more than you esteem yourself. Thus, to forget the divine origin of all Life, or any part thereof, is to fall short of the Law which always affirms, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Or, in this case, "Do unto yourself as you would do unto others - for you surely shall."{111} Between embodiments and awaiting rebirth, hours upon hours pass, according to earth's standards, while teachers at inner levels pronounce and teach this sacred precept of the Golden Rule - its psychological as well as spiritual ramifications - to novitiate souls studying to show themselves approved{112} in the etheric retreats of the Great White Brotherhood. These students, having failed or fallen short of the mark of the prize of regeneration in their preceding embodiments, are preparing to take upon themselves once again coats of skins{113} (grosser vehicles, i.e., the four lower-vibrating bodies) to meet the challenges of life and karma in the physical octave below. Is it not well to note again in this dissertation on Being that man stands in a twofold relationship to the Great Law? On the one hand is his relationship to God and the universal Law of Life, Love, and holy Wisdom; on the other is his relationship with man who was created in the selfsame image. It is difficult for those yet bound in the round of rebirth to see the Whole, for they stand in the manner of one who assembles a jigsaw puzzle and has placed together but a few of the pieces composing the whole picture. This is why faith is needed. We caution that the privilege you retain at all times of rejecting spiritual concepts that seem unclear should not be exercised lightly. Rest assured that in the fullness of time the circle of understanding will be complete. Is it not peculiar that men are so inclined to express absolute certainty concerning matters about which they know so little, while frequently expressing uncertainty about things of which they ought to know a great deal. The balancing power of Love, when it is directed to all parts of Life, is the greatest lever there is to elevate the character of man to Godhood. It has well been said, " ... Whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away; but Charity, or divine Love, never faileth." {114} Think you that in extending the love of the Father to a cynical or scornful one who reviles you and flaunts the love you give, driving it back into your very teeth, you do ill? I tell you nay; for though it be far from him, he will one day remember and perhaps look for the proffered gift. By expressions of hatred and shame, men mar the surface of their own souls; by expressions of virtue and honor, they lay up in heaven a wreath of victory on behalf of all Life.{115} Consider the billions of lifestreams evolving on the planet. Consider the weight of human despair and discord - the boundless fears generated daily by their uncertainties and struggles. Ask yourself: Would you add one jot or tittle of energy to this world weight (karma), to this distress, and to mankind's unhappiness? Then mark well the golden moments as opportunities for the dispensation of grace. Let judgment remain the prerogative of the Karmic Board; they render it with good qualifications and compassion. They seal each judgment with the power of opportunity, they are ever mindful that God chastens those whom he loves, and their mercy droppeth as the gentle rain upon the souls of all who suffer the necessity of karmic judgment. It is no imposition upon the citadel of Being to study holy Wisdom, to generate holy Love, and thus to use the God-given Power to bring forth the kingdom of heaven among men. Were the world and all that it comprises to crumble away, the tower of spiritual glory would remain forever. The annals of God, the true chronology of Being, record every virtue, every noble aspiration, every holy thought. The Angels of Record bear them to an invulnerable fortress locked in regions beyond mortal comprehension. O Being of Man: With all thy getting, get understanding of the eternal principles!{116} As your precious Kuthumi and I stand before the record of this age and ask ourselves the question, "How can we best relieve human suffering and reestablish mighty principles that will enable man, the instrument, to endure?" we recognize that in the final analysis it is the recognition and self-determination by man himself, as an individual, that sets him apart from his fellows and makes him God's man. The records of the infamous bear common earmarks: lack of emotional control or self-discipline of one's mental forces, lack of justice toward the weak and the poor, self-centered and manipulative employment of energy, wisdom, and even the quality of love, which is turned, to satisfy the lust of the ego, upon the whim of the self-crowned potentate. By contrast, we examine the fabric of souls who are the spiritually great in the eyes of God: kings of righteousness such as Melchizedek, king of Salem; holy men such as Elijah the prophet, the Prophet Samuel, and Daniel. We observe, too, the wisdom of those spiritually great men and women contemporary with your precious lifestreams whom we choose not to name at this moment - lest they take their reward before they have run their course. We note in all of them the very common or uncommon quality (as you may choose to call it) of unswerving faith in the Law of Universal Love, Wisdom, and Power. We see a common reverence for Nature; we see an uncommon sense of assessment whereby self-virtue is recognized only as a reasonable sacrifice and offering. We see no arrogant demanding for deference or favor that would set them apart from others or exalt them in their person, but only a firm, unyielding devotion to be a vessel in the hands of the Infinite One in order to convey unlimited blessings to others. The patrimony of heaven is given to such souls as these, whether you believe in them or not. Myriad angels stand before them and bow in adoration to the God flame veiled in flesh. During my Galilean ministry I often said, "Go and sin no more;"{117} I also admonished, "Go and do thou likewise."{118} These Christ commands were intended to evoke a response from the mighty God-power within souls forgiven or healed. Today I say to all: Let all proneness to human error cease! Go and sin no more! Let all virtue and wisdom and loveliness; all beauty, all courage, faith, and determination; all consecration, invocation, and adoration be raised on high in the citadel of your own Being ... and go and do thou likewise! Keep thou the faith, keep thou the courage, keep thou the determination, keep thou the holy precepts, keep thou the balance! Though angels stand ready to bear thee up lest thou dash thy foot against the stone, yield not to one subtle temptation of that force which would tempt thee to turn aside from the path of the LORD thy God.{119} Truly the LORD thy God is my God. Truly he is in me and in thee. Truly in this interchange of oneness and unity there is hope that the Holy Spirit of prophecy may fashion in newness a new generation! Let the words be spoken of thee, "This man was in truth the Son of God."{120} So proclaim, so teach, so let it be shouted from the housetops! The antennas of the mind receive the waves of manifold vibrations today. There are vibrations of hatred, fear, and terror. There are vibrations of violence, distress, and woe. Screen them out - reject them all! They shall not provide one iota of salvation unto thee. There are other vibrations far, far above man's poor power of perception in his present state which stem from the living fount of God's merciful heart. These speak of infinite mercy, of infinite beauty, of infinite compassion - of the dawn of a mighty civilization when the golden age shall have fully manifested. In the matrix of the present, let all distinguish in religion those qualities which are Godlike, all-loving, all-knowing, all-perceiving the radiance of heaven. May we together breathe one heart-prayer: "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Let there go forth, then, into manifestation, without fear, the courage to live in the consciousness of that Being which I AM, and to die to that transitory folly which in Truth I am not. O vanity and vexation of spirit, may man forsake thee! O Father, may man find his Being in thy Oneness! That I may say of all: "Lo, I AM come!" "Lo, the I AM is come into manifestation on earth in the sons and daughters of God!" I speak this in Kuthumi's love and name.

The crossroads of God's Intent and men's ambitions present such a juxtaposition of confusion that only in Divine Refuge can solace be found. The Rock of Ages, the Comfort of Christ ideals, shines in a splendor unparalleled in the planetary history. Glaring human crudities continue to splash the pages of the passing days with mankind's misused energies. Wild screams jar the heart, while Tranquility is desired by men. Against the backdrop of world events, the radiant picturization of the Christ of God stands for all to see and to know. Behold, the Man, the Christ of God! Behold the Light that is the Hope of the world! Whither goest thou? Upon the via dolorosa, the sorrowful way? The way where God is ignored and cast aside as though men were ashamed to know Him, as though they regarded His existence as a myth or fairy tale? Or wouldst thou, in supreme recognition, behold in the sky of Being the splendor of His Star appearing bright! Men may think attention to heaven impractical, but then let us be aware of their position. Long ago God spake of the serpent of human deceit, self-delusion and misdirected energy and said of his sinuous, devious and winding ways that leadeth to destruction, "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel" (Gen.3:15) and so to the present day the heel of the Christ Man is bruised as he seeks to journey back to the Father's Heart. The thorns on the Path of Becoming are not blunted for those treading the vale below, and all of the human misdirection of sensuous energies continue to be the source of men's own self-generated torment. Rejoice! The Holy Matrix within Life holds the Mighty Power of God manifest in the Son of God, manifest within the Life of every Man. "And thy seed shall bruise the serpent's head!" The Son of God shall tread upon the antichrist in his own nature; he shall rise triumphant from the many disintegrating forces attempting to storm the Matrix of his Being; he shall bring forth the first-born Son of God laid in the manger, strewn with the rubble of misguided efforts. The Purity of the Virgin Consciousness shall be his portion; the Angels of God and the Magi shall together pour forth Adoration to that Great Son of God within him. All shall nurture Him, the Son of God, rather than human vanity, and He shall grow and wax strong, reminding the outer self, "I must be about My Father's business." Then one day, in full possession of his faculties, his spiritual attributes made known, the tests in the wilderness of his Being having been transcended, he shall embark upon his own spiritual Mission. His reason for being, willed and consecrated from the Heart of his Heavenly Father, shall enlist him in the services of the Light and his Natal Day shall become a day of full-orbed Purpose. O Mankind, in this hour of celebration, when the feasts of spiritual wonder are communicated from heart to heart, let the bands be ever tighter that bind men's hearts together; let the cords of human hate and violence be dissolved by the splendor of His Flame. By universal proclamation of the wonder of God's Great Name "I AM," let all behold the Mother of the World as the Mother of the Christ in every Man. Lo, I AM cradling your Heart in the Bosom of God.

God of very God, Lord of Lords and King of Kings! How trivial would the treasures of all eternity be without the mighty dispensations of God, distributing and fashioning all Life in a rapture of Wondrous Wisdom! All space is hallowed by the Divine Majesty; and yet, condensed within the point of Light focused within the atom of a Man's Heart Flame may be found the Intelligence of Immortal God, reaching out and piercing the gloom of maya, the world delusion, the noncomprehending mind, and enfolding all the garments of Creation in the crystal clear apprehension of the Light within each Man's Being. And now abideth Hope, the Hope of comprehending the mystery of The Christ - the Hope of comprehending the mystery of God. It has not been enough for men to hold in supreme Faith and allegiance their belief in the Majesty of God. It has been the requirement of Life that they shall fashion themselves in this Majesty, in the Faith that God first foresaw and beheld them in that self-same Glory. O Holy Intelligence at the sacred age of twelve manifesting in the young Christ consulting with the doctors in the temple! Men's consciousness is not a mere encyclopedic memory of the Cosmos, an orderly succession of facts, a maddening procession of scenes and events, but rather is it the entering in from the Holy Place to the Holy of Holies within the Consciousness of Man's Being. Each man must comprehend the mystery of Life from the citadel of his own Being. "I go to prepare a place for you, that where I am there may ye be also" (John 14) is a most cogent statement of God's Glory within each individual Soul. Though all the world Ascend but thee, so long as thou remainest unascended, all the world Ascended must, in fulfillment of Love's obligation, for thee remain with bated, hushed breath in the Temple of God's Infinite Love, calling for the solution of thy recalcitrance. And so, it stands that the Holy Wisdom apprehended at the portals of each Man's Being is the Essence of Intelligence, more vast by far than the intellect which comprehends the starry bodies and their scientific origin. For dust may return to dust and stars to fiery dispersion throughout the vast Spacial regions separating nebula from nebulae. Nameless graves and the lives of men both great and small may march in a procession across the pages of history, but all would be a vain torment of the mind if it did not ultimately recognize the Holy Purpose of individualization and slay for itself the dragon whose sharpened tail has held men down to the base and low and senseless aspects of emotion and vain thought. As men stand, then, gazing at the portals of the years, as the pulsating fervor of their emotions rises and then flickers upon the Altar of Being, let them seek to know the mystery of the alchemist's white stone; let them understand the meaning of the Angel's call, "Behold I make all things new ... Write: for these words are true and faithful" (Rev.21:5). Let men cognize their individual identification with the fervent cry of the soul of God within them, gazing out at the ephemeral and changing world and then inward at the fire of their own Being, and crying with a loud voice, "Lo I AM come!" For in very Truth of very Truth it is God that has come in the Temple of every Man's Life and it is God within Who must assist each one in making right all that has been wrong. The dweller on the threshold of human creation must be consumed; the dark shapeless shadowy mass of disorganized elemental energies must be forsaken and transmuted by the splendor of God's appearing. The Dawn of God's Day must break - the Golden Dawn of Truth for every lifestream - and then as men face the new Day, months, years or cycles, all will be joyous. Joy to all in the Temple of God's appearing. Be of good cheer, it is I, the Infinite One. I AM thine!

Seven principles of the seven rays are mastered by the soul through the outpicturing of the threefold flame in balanced action in the four lower bodies. This is accomplished in seven stages of initiation, or steps of precipitation, under the guidance and tutelage of the Lords, or Chohans, of the Seven Rays. See Zechariah 4: The angel shows the prophet a "candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof: and two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof." This vision depicts in the golden candlestick the silver cord which extends from the heart of God in the Great Central Sun to the individualized Mighty I AM Presence, passing through the Holy Christ Self and anchoring in the heart of man the illumination to carry out the will of God in love. The bowl represents the consciousness of man, which is fed by the self-luminous, intelligent light energy which flows over the silver cord. The seven lamps represent the seven receptacles of man (spiritual centers called in the Hindu chakras, i.e., wheel of the Law), sustained by the sacred fire from the one Source, flowing through the seven pipes. The seven pipes typify the seven rays, or facets, of the creation which must manifest the light of God through the seven lamps. The three central candles of the menorah blaze forth the threefold flame of power, wisdom, and love (blue, yellow, and pink) embracing the threefold nature of the Divinity - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The two candles to the left of the blue flame of power represent the etheric and mental bodies of man, which are designed to outpicture the Fourth Ray of purity (white) and the Fifth Ray of science (green) respectively. To the right of the pink flame of love are the candles representing the emotional and physical bodies, whichare designed to outpicture the Sixth Ray of devotion (purple and gold, and the ruby ray) and the Seventh Ray of ordered service (violet) respectively. The two olive trees on either side of the candles are "the two anointed ones that stand by the Lord of the whole earth" - i.e., they represent the authority of God invested in his representatives on earth in every age who hold the scepter of power in Church and State. The tree to the left is the blue plume of power directing all levels of government, and the tree to the right is the pink plume of love which presides over the religious life of the people. The entire symbol of the candelabra (specifically the menorah in Hebrew terminology) is enfolded in the yellow plume of illumination, the key to man's fulfillment of his sevenfold identity. Thus the complete thoughtform of the two olive trees (power and love) at either side of the candlestick (wisdom) represents the action of the threefold flame in human society, while the candles in the center interpret man's inner and outer unfoldment in the fulfillment of the divine plan. [2] Volume 6, Number 46, footnote 4. The elements. In the study of alchemy, the primordial substance, materia prima, is described as being without form, like the world before the creation ("And the earth was without form and void ..." Gen. 1:2) - before all things were separated into distinct elements. In his book, Alchemy, Titus Burckhardt explains that the four elements - fire, air, water, and earth - "do not proceed directly from materia prima but from its first determination, ether, which fills all space equally." Stanislas K. De Rola in Alchemy: The Secret Art writes: "From the interplay of the Four Elements, and their metamorphosis one into the other, all is evolved, and the fifth element, the Quintessence, distilled." There has been debate through the centuries as to whether ether should be considered as a fifth element. Aristotle defined it as such and the Hindus and Theosophists also speak of five elements. When discussing the transmutation of elements from one form to another, however, the alchemist is referring to the four qualities of fire, air, water, and earth, as the fifth, ether (or quintessence), is considered eternal and unchangeable. =============================================================================== **** Footnotes: **** {1} El Morya was embodied as King Arthur. {2} Beloved Saint Germain, who stood at Mary's side as Joseph, was also embodied as Columbus. {3} Rev. 22:2 {4} Matt. 13:58 {5} Matt. 10:8. {6} Gen. 6:5; 8:21. {7} I Cor. 15:26. {8} Matt. 7:13, 14. {9} "Lost" Sheep.

The end of the path of karma yoga is freedom from the round of rebirth through the Holy Spirit's all-consuming Love and Grace, and reunion with God, the Mighty I AM Presence, in the ritual of the ascension. {13} Crotona. In the sixth century b.c. Kuthumi was embodied as Pythagoras, the Greek philosopher and mathematician who founded a brotherhood of initiates at Crotona, a Greek seaport in southern Italy. The devotees who were accepted into this mystery school pursued a philosophy based on the mathematical expression of universal law, illustrated in music and in the rhythm and harmony of a highly disciplined way of life. About 500 b.c. a rejected candidate of Pythagoras' Academy incited a violent persecution resulting in the Master's death, the dissolution of his community, and the tragic destruction of much of his teaching. Thus do tools of Anti-Christ attempt the destruction of the Community of the Great White Brotherhood in every age. {14} Rom. 1:16. {15} The Potter and the clay.

See Zechariah 5. The prophet envisions the purifying and transmutative process taking place through the action of karmic law symbolized in the "flying roll" (the etheric record of the thoughts, motives, and acts of each individual lifestream). Only the actions of the guilty are punishable; the exactness of judgment is symbolized in the ephah (a standard of measurement) and the talent of lead (the weight of karma) balanced on wings of mercy. Good deeds rest on their own merit; the energy thereof is transported to the storehouse of light, the causal body. {44} Zech. 4:6. {45} Gen. 3:22-24. {46} John 5:39. {47} John 3:34-36; 5:23-27; 12:44-50. {48} John 16:13. {49} Matt. 6:12; Luke 11:4. {50} Matt. 5:8. {51} John 3:3. {52} John 3:5-13. {53} Acts 2:2. {54} Spiritual interpretation of the menorah.
