The colossal tasks facing mankind today require equal courage to that of those heroes in the past who faced dragons, giants, and mythological monsters. The underground, boring action of the reverse spirals of egocentric ambitions have so complicated the maze of mortal destiny as to strike terror in the hearts of those who are unaccustomed to the deliverance of a planet.
We urge an upward gaze to the Source of Life who is the sustaining strength of every cosmic emissary, of every ascended master, and every sun presence of immortal awareness. Thus will the strength, garnered from the untrammeled heights of beauty and cosmic purpose, be activated in the world of form. There is no solution to man's problems equal to the healing energies of heaven, and, precious ones, you cannot receive those energies from any outer sources by study, ambition, or entanglement in the psychic realm of blatant phenomena.
The still small voice is the voice of victory. And though it be but a whisper in the inner recesses of being, saying silently, firmly, determinedly,
it is enough to give the fervor which the moment requires, albeit we pray that men who seek the spiritual life will honor humility and feel no worldly sense of competition, rather paying homage to those ideals that will mean freedom to every man.
To keep a constant, genuine vigil with God requires the drawing forth of the total resources of man's being. Yet this need not spell an end to one's active responsibilities involving those karmically accepted offices of service which enable our chelas to minister unto their fellowmen as friends of God and of men - as fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, children of the one Life, and devotees of the sacred fire.
Man, illumined by the Spirit of Cosmic Intelligence, becomes central within his own domain, effacing where necessary the carnal will and replacing it by those magnificent bursts of cosmic joy, of cosmic determination, of cosmic recognition and service in order that no opposing factor may have any power to alter or deter the waves of divine intent from fulfilling their purpose in him.
You do not know, precious ones, what it means to an Elohim gazing downward into the tangled, mortal affairs of mankind to know that there are hearts upturned and consecrated focuses into which the energies of one's cosmic life can be poured. Mankind have become so enmeshed in the spirit of asking help from heaven, as if heaven were aloof to the lifewaves below, that little is thought about the enormous effort and cosmic outreach that the sons of light actually exercise toward an emerging but sometimes unresponsive humanity.
Our love is great enough to win the freedom of every man, woman, and child upon this planet and to do it now, if they will only summon the faith from within their own hearts to accept and believe that this is an ever-present possibility.
Yet we are practical men and women of the Spirit. We have seen how human viciousness has daily and often hourly attacked the powers of the Light as these powers have sought to work through human avatars - those who are not yet free in the ascension but who are initiates of our holy cause. We have seen how these blessed ones have reeled again and again from attack after attack against their energies and persons. Yet they have continued to seek to do God's will and to help humanity escape from the entrenched forces of reaction to the message of peace and goodwill which heaven has sent to the world.
Many today, shocked and amazed at the riots that have taken place in the cities of the United States and at the disturbances that have come to the surface elsewhere upon the planet, feel a mounting sense of gnawing frustration. Fear has entered into the world of some of the chelas as well. We therefore urge that all shall understand that while the world may rage in its awful madness, the calm center of life related to your own mighty I AM God Presence is the threefold flame of the Christ within your heart.
You are the equipoise of cosmic power and energy. To you is given the sacred fire breath - the realization that the Word that became flesh can spring forth from the fountain of the Eternal Presence that beats your heart as you ask for and decree for the freedom of man as never before. Bearing fruit, then, in this age and for the ages to come, you are winning your freedom and the freedom of all mankind as you consistently maintain your divine position.
In God's name, beloved ones, do you think that any mortal power whatsoever can affect the almighty purposes of the universal Christ consciousness? I tell you, no! For while many have wept for the sufferings brought upon the avatars and sons of God down through the ages, it is for the mass consciousness and its imprisoned sense that men ought to weep, for themselves and for their children,1 for their posterity and all good works they have sought to do that have been thwarted by the Antichrist.2
Without God in the world, without a resurgence of the Christ ideals and the Light that is victorious over the darkness, men can never know the Spirit of the Resurrection. They can never know the Spirit of immortal freedom from death as the last enemy3 and from all other enemies that precede it, as the mighty onrush of cosmic purpose moves upon the waters of human consciousness to fulfill the Christ ideal in individual mankind as well as in the world order.
I AM Hercules, the Elohim of the First Ray, and my outreach into the world of form is to empower every angel, every archangel, every elemental, every man, woman, and child to stand fast, unflinching, with high courage and faith in the manifestation and the victory of God's will on earth. For the high road of God's purpose is open to all who will accept it, who seek not the path of personal power and phenomena but the path of service to the Great White Brotherhood. Thus the Great White Lodge will be seen as the organization of the lodges of perfection which are the repositories of cosmic wisdom for the earth and whose members provide the means of intensifying the radiation of cosmic purpose upon the planet.
The enormous tide of misunderstanding that has arisen in the world order is the result of direct manipulation by the powers of darkness that seek to deprive humanity of the great cosmic opportunities for the earth and its evolutions. This literal manifestation of Armageddon should not give rise to discouragement; on the contrary, it should be seen as the measured mark of the cosmic prophecies of old, of the desecration by the sons of Belial of the sacred order of spiritual purpose and, last but not least, as indicative of the time of emancipation for all.
The thickening darkness in the world makes its presence felt and known, and men reach out as never before for the light of deliverance. This light is in the spiritual octaves; it can come forth from no other. Can darkness give birth to light? Can the grey membrane of mankind's egomania give rise to aught else but the mucus of decay?
Ours is the resurrection of the possible victory over what men have termed "impossible odds." Repudiate darkness by embracing Light. Onward to your God-victory, O planet of Love!
