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!
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.
