From the least unto the greatest among men, the need of the hour is for more understanding. And I speak not in the ordinary sense of the word - of the mere gathering together of facts and fancies, of curiosity and of fulfillment, of some subtle subconscious longing from early childhood, or even a lingering wish from a past embodiment - but rather do I speak of understanding in terms of the fulfillment of the Great God Design and Purpose of Man's Being. Much of mankind's fatigue and weariness of spirit stems from the fact that they have focused their attention upon the wrong aspects of life, and because these aspects have been fulfilled - or unfulfilled, they find a pall resting upon their Cosmic Destiny, which, like a shadowed cloud, does obscure the sun of their Being in temporibus.
Man is intended to be the counterpart of God, to have dominion over all outer conditions and to be flooded with the attendant happiness that a manifestation of God would always exhibit. When this is not so, the fault lies not in the opportunity offered, but in wrong actions based upon misunderstanding. Therefore, the injunction " ... to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?" (Isaiah 53:1; John 12-38) remains to this day as a challenge to mankind that they might both see and know the Hand of God in action - even in karmic conditions and judgments from On High - as the Higher means to adjusting the weaknesses of their worlds and to establishing for all time that marvelous Intent of God which can only fulfill the truth of their being and bring them that God-happiness which is eternal.
Now, the fashion of the man who is involved in the toils of human vanity - which are always based on misunderstanding - can be healed by the simplest method possible, and that is the substitution of the Divine Idea for all human ideals. Certainly when the Greater, which always contains the lesser, is given preemptory power over every manifestation, thought, word and deed, the end result, yea, and the middle also, cannot help but be Victory for every lifestream who will follow this Divine Maxim.
The cause of all suffering has been mankind's attempts to preempt God and to take dominion over the things which God has placed in their hands as a sacred trust, but whose purposes they have then perverted and diverted into a fraud which has in turn reacted upon themselves. For the Law must come full circle and whatsoever individuals - whether acting in good faith or bad - send out must return to their own doorstep for the redemption. This is the simplest law of faith in action; for individuals have "faith" but their faith is too often placed in the wrong thing, you see. Their faith is placed in the lower self, rather than in the higher aspects of Being.
Doubts and fears that assail mankind are the antithesis of true faith and, therefore, because of the fact that they are plagued with doubts, individuals think of fear and thus enter into a fear vibration and then they feel that somehow they may not reap a harvest of good things unless they seize for themselves a ripe and full manifestation of the world's brands of goodness and happiness. There is a pattern of negative interweaving betwixt the Divine and the human, and this is the pity of it all; for individuals who pursue God and realize His Blessings have the knowledge and understanding to extricate themselves more and more from the world's entanglements; whereas those who pursue the world do lack in understanding and become more and more involved in the morasses of human personality consciousness wherein thoughts of what he or she said or did seem more important than "Thus saith The Lord!"
In actuality, many of the blessings which mankind pursue in preference to God are not only permissible but they are a part of the Divine Plan. Individuals, by their own feelings of guilt - by entering into a consciousness and concept that they are ungodly - do not even extract the happiness from the temporal things which God intended all to have. After all, Blessed Ones, form is also existent in God and; therefore, the Power of Spirituality resident within form is the great Joy of God, and when that Spirituality and the Essence thereof takes positive control of the thoughts and affairs of mankind, it is impossible that they shall fail to be happy. For the sole cause of unhappiness is the intruding shadow betwixt the sun of Being and the consciousness of the beholder.
When men behold God in all things and actually pass through the structure of the form to contact the great spiritual Light that pulsates in the ethers behind the form, their joy begins to expand toward its fulness. The transcendental Nature of God means that Man, the manifestation, will never attain to the realization of the Infinite and remain as Man. The symbol of the serpent swallowing his tail, known to the ancients, indicates the cyclic nature of the Universe and the transcendentalism of Being. It is a great pity, then, that mortal men do not recognize the power of Faith to bear them up out of all depressive states, and to obtain for them that regeneration of Being which, buoyed up in Cosmic Understanding, becomes a mighty Fount of Divine knowledge, able to deliver them from the toils of the spoilers and those who would subvert the Universe to their own purposes (simply because they do not understand it, or because they have entered into a state of rebellion against the very Laws of God which do function in absolute fairness to all).
Now in the former case, error is entered into in ignorance. Of these Jesus said "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:34). But those who revel while still knowing the Laws of God - though partially ignorant, it is true - are known as black magicians or the tools thereof. Some teachings, under the guise of goodness, would deny the existence of such as these, stating that positive qualities must be emphasized rather than negation. How well the Archangels are aware of this lie of human creation, but We also know that in the realm of human domination "all is not well" and the causes and cores of mankind's lack of "well-being" are known to Us. I AM certain that the students of Light do not wish to become ostriches with their heads plunged into the sand, but would rather do combat (as do We) with error in all of its many forms, in order to clear the way for the Light of God to expand in every heart.
The beginning of Beloved Jesus' Watch-With-Me-One-Hour Program has opened the door for a tremendous assistance to be poured out from the Angelic level to the Earth, and We hold confident the fact that the mounting crescendos of Faith by man in God and in His response - that the call does compel the answer - will bring forth many victories in days to come. That this will be a continuing Victory is Our hope, so that all of the longings of men of Good Will throughout the centuries and long history of the Earth may find fulfillment in this Present Age.
The awful forces of hatred that create and keep alive the "forms of hatred" functioning according to the law of the jungle are completely contrary to the benign appearance of the Christ. Men's false sense of personal competition which extends even to religious faiths must go down in honor of the Principle of the risen Christ. Unless this Principle be demonstrated in all men as an act of Faith, how can Cosmic Unity triumph in all? That it is reserved for the elect is not enough, for both God and Man - even men of good will - would have all share alike in the bounties of the Kingdom.
Remember that behind Our Releases is a tremendous Power, the currents thereof flow into the very fibre and core of your entire Being as you accept the pressures of Our Reality and that of your own internal connection with the Mighty God Presence of all Life. But, in order that you may receive the full outpouring of Our Love, your feelings must be changed to become Godlike; old things must pass away and all things must become new in the Light of the Faith of the Golden Age. Moments of celestial triumph must yield to hours and days of continuing Victory, until all of thy days and of thy nights are one blending of a splendid Faith whose strands, anchored in the bedrock of Christlike Reality in the world of form, are held by Angelic Hands before the Throne of God, before the Principality of your own Great Being - your God Presence - the veritable Image of Life which is Immortal.
If you fully knew the Great Cosmic Drama behind this Activity, the methods by which We release Our Words and Feelings and instructions into the atmosphere of Earth - right in the thick of battle - you would understand the need for a very hard core of spiritual warriors who will daily use their Swords of Blue Flame such as I wield. Now, deep in the human consciousness, abiding in the ancient memory of days of higher attunement - when the Soul walked with God, is the knowledge of how Angelic Beings can summon from the Godhead the electric spark which composes a Mighty Sword of Blue Flame, born of the Energies of the First Ray of Celestial Blue - of the "first day" of the "Week of Creation" - and how these Energies will surround the White Fire Core of the Spirit of Life to form the perfect concept.
I say to you all, We stand in Good Will and Faith to guard all Goodness against the day of its full blossoming manifestation.
Let increasing Faith bring more Light to all!
