It is no misnomer to consecrate you thus; for if you do not from day to day understand in the fullest sense all that God has intended for thee, it does not limit His comprehension of that Divine Intent. And so, there is always a larger measure of consecrated Holy and Electronic Energy that is a part of thy self unknown, that stands invisible but invincible in the world of form as an Eternal Fortress, never to go down before the attitudes of mankind's viciousness or discord. Let every head, then, be raised in the dignity of a wider comprehension of the Holy Purposes envisioned by God for each soul; and let not the petty earthly matters matter so much when Comfort is needed everywhere and Trust, and strands of Holy Wisdom, as Beloved Charity declared so well.
The hands of the world are indeed thrust out in an attitude of hopefulness for something better under the Sun than mankind have hitherto externalized. While I do not say that this of necessity is material substance which they seek, I do full well recognize, as I AM certain you do also, that it is no desecration in the Eyes of God to bring civilization to a state par excellence, wherein the blessings of Science may be conveyed through Nature and the Blessings of Nature conveyed through Science. This will be accomplished in an exchange based upon Divine cooperation scarcely recognized by those who are presently so wedded to science and materialism that they cannot hear the Voice of the Spirit of God resounding throughout all of Nature. Yet the Voice of God does not raise a clamor, regardless of the volume of its call; at times it seems subdued and diminished as a mere whisper, scattered in the corridors of man's consciousness because of the dullness of human wit.
We seek better things to come and I AM certain that those who have enjoyed a task well done will recognize that in this day and age excellence is still a premium quality which, as We recently discussed in one of Our Councils, ought to receive the full approval of First Ray men - those men of Faith and Vision and Power who get things done in a most excellent way. You know, Blessed Ones, from this concept of excellence was derived the idea of using the "Blue Ribbon" as a mark of merit. It is interesting that the spiritual role of the Colors of the Rays has been used even at county fairs, with their prizes awarded for the best pies and cakes; such awards are based both on the faith of the aspirant for the prize and on the faith of the judge in the manifest faith of the maker.
If men strive for earthly prizes, ought they not to strive doubly for a heavenly one? And so, as the world at times is prone to feel steeped in tears, I AM determined to see it elevated out of that state of consciousness until the "laughter of attainment" becomes a part of the ever-new Joy that rushes forth as a "baby brook" from beneath green leaves.
Let not downcast shadows overwhelm thee, then, but see the many "new beginnings" which God maketh every day, and know that in His Holy Way the Ascended Masters shall achieve, one way or another! Mankind shall not thwart the Divine Plan forever, through the dull-witted stupidity that has earmarked past actions; for We shall seize upon men and women of recognition and heart who can feel the Reality of God's Presence in themselves and know the Reality of that which We speak - and distinguish it from fool's gold! And We shall assist in the raising up of a Mighty People who shall call forth the Cleansing Ray, and who shall, in the offering of themselves to Heaven's Law, find their true Selves forever.
