Gracious Believers in the Almighty Tenets of God:
Your faith has produced a more than ordinary momentum for good, and I declare to all that many of you, if your aspirations could have been fully realized, would long ago have ordained a world of golden-age perfection. You think with God, and you love with God, but the sad degeneracy of the world's evolution seems to continue to hold sway. The strong measure of pure spiritual ambition fervently rises in the hearts of the faithful, but the faithful themselves are far too few in number.
As your beloved Saint Germain has intimated, and I think rather clearly, in his recent release, there is a great need for world expansion of divine truth and the understanding of the hidden laws of our Brotherhood to the many who hunger and thirst after righteousness. That they may be filled is our prayer,1 continually offered as a perpetual novena, a tireless appeal, a self-purifying ascendancy of hope.
May I throw a beam of my heart's light upon Saint Germain's timely words? As a result of a recent probing by the hierarchy into mortal affairs, the decision to seek the means to reach mankind came about; for we have detected a number that is mighty indeed in the evolution of this planet presently in embodiment who would assist the divine plan if they knew how to do so. We know that, whereas the students of the greater light have much understanding that is out of the ordinary and that is not given through orthodox religious endeavors, few of you realize what an entrenched religious and social system exists today. With a greater intensity than the control used in the days of the Roman Empire by the Caesarian legions or the tightly knit restraint of the ancient Jewish Sanhedrin, the conservative cliques have marshaled their forces to almost prohibit progressive revelation to the mankind of earth.
It is true, precious ones, that if past revelations had been heeded, today the virtue of the living Word of Truth, spoken between neighbor and neighbor, would create a different complex in the world. It is true that the Sermon on the Mount spoken by my son embodies the highest teachings of Christly character, yet the Scriptures themselves declare, "And there are also many other things which Jesus did and said, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written."2 This shows clearly that much of his teachings have not been recorded. And I am certain you realize that all of his words were of equal import. Hence, beloved ones, progressive revelation is for the purpose of continuing the infinite release of the Word of God to men in each contemporary and succeeding generation - not in refutation of the old, but as an affirmation of the ever-new testament of God.
Today the mandates of society have made it almost impossible to found a new religion, and the gates of the old religions of the world are mainly so prescribed with human opinion, error, and immovable dogma as to seal the possibility of advent. The travail of bringing forth progressive spiritual revelation is intense, and often our messengers have to reckon with many forces of shadow which seek to thwart the holy cause.
You do not know, precious ones, what it means to face the darkening clouds of an entrenched world order and a world might arrayed against your own son. The Good Friday confrontation is more than historical, it is an initiation of the ages. The uplifting of the cross is a symbol where God and man meet in the vital body of Christ-truth. The corporeal body of the living Word is announced to the present hour by men who understand it not, even as they understood him not in that day. As they sought to defame his spotless character, so they will often seek to deface the character of those who in succeeding generations shall do, to quote his words, "greater works than these because I go unto my Father."3
Because of the need for understanding, I proclaim my solid unity with Saint Germain as we seek to nurture the Messiah of progressive revelation whereby the curtain to the Holy of Holies, the veil in the temple of man's being, may be rent in twain by the great lightning of divine love4 that, in sweeping aside ancient traditions, reveals on the altar of each man's heart a living flame, the Paraclete beyond token, manifesting as the Presence of Life in all its immaculate wonder!
