Most Gracious Seekers for the Cup of Life,
The meaning of the Temple of the Holy Spirit must be revealed more completely to mankind. The ancient writings must be interpreted, and I refer here not only to recordings made with the stylus upon papyrus, with ink upon paper and by electronic methods upon plastic substance; but I specifically refer also to the most precious engraving of Eternity - the Laws of God written within the Heart and the Mind of Man by his own blessed Spirit.
The inward nature of Man is given the intelligent cohesion of Immortal Substance by the Spirit of God; and even the mortal frame is held together by the subtle direction received from On High through the media of the Holy Spirit in Its directions to the body elemental. Now then, as We examine more completely and take the measure of the Temple of the Holy Spirit which is the Body of Man, let us see the relation of the Sacred Fire to the temporal form of creation as well as the eternal.
The ancient mysteries described the vision of Jacob who fell asleep and pillowed his head upon a stone. This symbolizes the Rock of Ages, which is synonymous with the Christ of every Man, the Light Substance of the Immortal Son of God, Who is the chief cornerstone of the Temple of each Man's Being. As Jacob lay sleeping (the account is recorded faithfully in the Scriptures, in the Book Genesis), he saw a ladder leading upward toward Heaven, and the Angels of God descending and ascending upon this ladder.
Mankind must realize that the ladder between worlds is one of Ascended Master Light Substance, ministered to by those Holy Representatives and Messengers of God's Will - the Blessed Angelic Hosts. These faithful communicants enrichen the altars of Heaven as They convey the Love of the Creation to the Father of All; and They enrichen the altars of earth with the Immortal Substance of God's Love conveyed thither.
The Temple of God - the Temple of the Holy Spirit - is the Body of Man. A closer look will reveal the thirty-three steps of the spinal ladder within the very mortal frame of man's body; the place of the skull (Golgotha) in the body of man becomes the very head of man at the top of the spinal ladder, where the Christ is crucified between the anterior and posterior lobes of the pituitary body. This symbolical and yet actual representation has relationship to the spinal altar and the Mighty Power of the Sacred Fire of God which descends to the base of the spine and thence Ascends to the very top of the head, where it once again continues upward to the very Heart of each Man's Divine Presence.
In attracting the Holy Spirit in a greater measure, it must be recognized by every seeker that the initial impetus of the Holy Spirit is given to Man with his first breath, drawn at the beginning of each embodiment. The pranic portion thus set forth at the beginning of life, then, is substantially abundant; and yet, by reason of the cycle of limitation imposed by Cosmic Law upon each lifestream - which directs the individual's measure of talents - it is necessary that a renewing of the Sacred Covenant with the Holy Spirit occur under the aegis of Man's free will.
The hungers of the heart are motivated by Divine Grace; for as man hungers and thirsts after righteousness, he shall indeed be filled, but not until his thirst is great enough to cause him to pause in the day's material occupations and seek for a renewing of the ancient covenants which he had with God before the temporal self was.
As so much Joy fills My Heart when the Breath of Righteousness is released to Man, I AM this day consecrating the Energies of My Being to the giving unto the students of Saint Germain's Flame of Freedom a more than ordinary portion of the Holy Spirit, which will prove a Bulwark of Righteousness to them and a Mighty Magnet to lift them to their own Christ Ascension in the Light.
I cannot rightfully imagine how individuals to whom this Great Light is imparted could ever be satisfied with that which is less than their own Immortal Inheritance. Hence, when I hear of those who have turned away from Righteousness, Honor, Justice and Mercy toward any of their fellowmen, I AM reminded of the fact that they have little understood the meaning of God's Grace. We cannot fail to encourage the downtrodden, for among them are the seeds of future Avatars; even those individuals who may seem a trifle odd to their compeers, may well become men of great valor under the bond of proper direction. There is hope for all.
Now, as you measure the relationship of your own physical body to the Temple of God made without hands, consider the meaning of Immortality as it relates, not only to your consciousness, but also to the power of that consciousness to manifest at will the direction in which you are disposed to go. "The wind bloweth where it listeth ..." - has been properly recorded, and it also is declared," ... so is everyone that is born of the Spirit." When you inherit a Body of Light, this conferment will be no figment of Man's imagination, but it will be as real and tangible as Eternity itself, and it will be the result of your own use of free will to consciously embody the Light.
The very purposes of God are actually fulfilled by the Body of Man when it is consecrated as the Holy Place or Tabernacle of God to that Mighty Divine Presence. The instilling of human ideals is often vanity, but no one who has eyes to see or ears to hear can ever disclaim the virtues of the Holy Spirit. The Blessed Holy Spirit has inspired men through the ages, has fired them with enthusiasm, and has given them an unalterable compassion. The Compassion of God is yet with men, in the person of the Ascended Masters and in the very Living Presence of God, which is individualized for each man as his own Mighty "I AM" Presence.
It is one thing for Man to be aware in part that he has a Divine Presence, but to have the very Power of the Sacred Fire descend from the Solar Altar in the Great Central Sun to the Central Sun of his own Presence, and thence to descend further to manifest within his own Body Temple, is an infusion of no little capability. Consider the bond of the Holy Spirit as the Unifier of men's hearts; consider also the bond of the Holy Spirit as the great Cosmic Link between the individual and his Divine Presence.
As the Representative of the Holy Spirit, I AM filled today with a sense of gratitude for this opportunity to convey to all sincere students everywhere, that the seeker may yet find the Power of this Mighty God Being filling his world with Love and Light and with the vibrations of infinite delight, which make up the Joy of God as they descend in the Holy Spirit.
Now, Blessed Ones, the first three messages which have come to you have dealt with certain very practical means of illumining the Consciousness of Man as to the grandeur of the Holy Spirit. We have touched somewhat lightly on the mystical symbology of the Body of Man and his relationship to the Mighty Cosmic Triad of the Eternal Father, the Eternal Son, and the Eternal Holy Spirit. The Councils have not yet decided, owing to certain difficulties which mankind are encountering on the international level, as to whether to permit Me to continue My dissertations on the Holy Spirit in an unbroken fashion. Should it be thought wise for Me to relinquish this platform for a period, I assure you it is Our intent to write three more successive releases, which will deal with the most practical methods of contacting the Holy Spirit by each individual who desires to have a closer bond.
As I take My leave of you, may I congratulate those of you whose hearts are not bound by dogmatism or pseudointellectualism, or by the thorns of skepticism. May I say to you all, prove now for yourselves, by careful study of the Mighty Truth that I have released, as to the great Realities the future may hold in store for the open-hearted perceivers of God's Grace, so full of Infinite Wonder.
