40  Great Divine Director - October 2, 1966

Vol. 9 No. 40 - Great Divine Director - October 2, 1966

     Evaluation by consciousness shows forth the worth of our instruction as shadow after shadow of human nonsense is dissipated by the great power of light and divine illumination which penetrates the illusions of sense consciousness and is the source of each man's freedom when accepted and rightly understood.

     As we propose to eliminate from the consciousness of mankind the vapid and inferior manifestation accepted by the mortal mind, let it be made clear that the will of man is the prime factor in determining the course of consciousness, whether it shall fall, maintain its status quo, or rise. The will of man is, simply stated, a divine right exercised within a wide latitude of freedom. Men may use the right of the will to create circumstances of bondage just as easily as they may use the right of the will to weave garments of light which will serve them well eternally.

     The misuse of free will by mankind is the cause of all human problems. Knowing this, the so-called brothers of the shadow prepare many traps into which the neophyte or even the more advanced disciple of the light may easily fall. For some time now we have intended to reveal one of these most dastardly traps which has been sprung by that organization which desires to strip mankind of the full measure of his spiritual protection.

     As you know, blessed ones, controversy is never our purpose; on the contrary, it is always our intent to further the revelation of divine truth. There are many who feel that we should confine ourselves to issues which are not controversial. This we have refused to do, determined not to leave mankind in the serious position of remaining in the pit of any delusion or illusion, no matter how much comfort it may seem to bring them. Therefore, with this Pearl of Wisdom, I am releasing to the perceptive a complete measure of understanding concerning the correct use of the Ascended Master names:

     Appellations are as old as the hills, for God himself perceived the fruit of his own radiating Word and saw that which he had made and called it "very good." Adam attached to the various manifestations of the natural world an appellation of his choice. And so with the birth of increased awareness by the manifestation called man, language grew and multiplied. The Word of God, by which the heaven and earth were framed was the eternally resonant voice of the Logos, but in the world of form it became drowned by many human voices and many human words. The ringing statement, "There is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved," clearly showed the feeling of the early apostles of the Christian Church with reference to the sacredness attached to the divine name.

     For many centuries, in many languages, the name "Jesus the Christ" has been called upon by mankind and has evoked the quickness of his loving response which has generated faith for countless manifestations of good, some of which men have chosen to call miracles, while others have denied them as such, proclaiming them to be manifestations of natural law. The rose of his service, the love of his heart, known by any name, is as sweet to mankind; yet the ever increasing power in the use of his name, as in the use of all ascended masters' names, is keyed to a vibratory action to which they respond.

     Desiring to increase the span of shadows in the darkening world and to bring mankind under bondage, the black brotherhood has tricked individuals and organizations, who believe themselves to be servants of God, and has caused instructions to be issued through them signifying changes in the names and divine offices of many of the great masters. In reality, these names have not been changed, nor have these offices been changed, for the term of the offices has not yet run out.

     Proclamations have gone forth changing the name of Jesus the Christ from this name to another. Others have said that I myself ought no longer to be called the Great Divine Director, but should be known by another name. This other name is in reality the appellation of an impostor who long desired to usurp my office. Recently an organization sought to change the name of Saint Germain. Another organization has sought to change the names and offices of both the Lord Maha Chohan and beloved Paul the Venetian.

     Let it be clear that we have no quarrel with the individuals on the physical plane who have released this information, for they know not, in truth, that they have been duped by ambitious and calculating minds. And it goes without saying that we do not speak for the sake of personal vituperation or to harm any part of life. But we do speak with the authority of Almighty God to proclaim the ringing truth that will retain for the true and earnest disciple that contact with the ascended masters' vibration which is always indicated in the correct use of their names.

     The power of God has for centuries been vested in the names of these ascended masters, and to use other names does not increase the power of God or the power of truth; for if these new names which mankind have tacked on to the ascended masters are called upon, it keys the disciple into the vibratory action of an impostor. Thus, the disciple, without realizing it, is putting the funnel of his attention into a cesspool and mire of jaded consciousness, while at the same time ignorantly denying the power of the Lords of Light whom mankind have been taught to call upon from their mothers' knees, in some cases, and in others from the date of their illumination.

     Blessed ones, be not deceived, for the Scriptures have clearly stated that there would arise false Christs and false prophets who would show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they would deceive the very elect. The great power of divine love which is in the ascended masters' octave remains fixed there, and when the key of the correct name of the master is used and the attention flows to that master, it will always return the peace and blessing of that individual Son of God into the world of the seeker.

     When individuals in ignorance call upon other names and their hearts are pure, it does not always mean that they will experience some negative outpouring of which they are consciously aware; but in reality there is always a diminution of the light flow into their worlds and, in some, there have been awful obsessions created and the infestation of entities into their worlds because they have been thrown off the path of truth by calling upon others who are in reality not masters of light but impostors of the black brotherhood, masquerading as angels of light. ("And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.")

     Our sole purpose in this revelation is to see that every one of our blessed chelas retains his freedom and his faith, that they be not tied into anything that is unclean or deceitful, and that they keep the way to the Eden of God and eat only of the tree of life that is in the midst of that garden of divine truth.

     The beloved Master Paul the Venetian remains as the Chohan of the Third Ray of Divine Love, for his service to life is far from finished in that office; and the Lord Maha Chohan remains with all of the divine cosmic honor as simply the Maha Chohan, which means the Great Lord. As his consciousness and power soar in the service of the light and for mankind, the power of his office is not diminished but transcends itself again and again, illumining and bringing release to many among mankind from the pains of wrong thought and feeling.

     You will never know, blessed ones, how great is the power of the cosmic light to sustain you in every moment when tests do come and your wills adhere to their great God-design, for to forsake the ascended masters by "having other gods before me," whether in ignorance and unbelief or in the search for the curious or the new, will not profit your souls, for great is the Lord, the God of the universe, who has said, "I AM is my Name." In him all beings merge into the great light but retain the new name which they have been given by God and which is in reality the old name which no man knoweth save he who has received it.

     I AM sustaining the power of infinite truth for you,

THE GREAT DIVINE DIRECTOR
