     Blessed Mother-to-Be

     In the matter of motherhood, blessed ones, few understand the law of creation. The soul, a tender thing in all its burning reality, came forth from God as plastic substance upon which could be inscribed phrasings of the higher law. The very nature of God was the design by which the soul was wrought. In great hope did the soul go forth into manifestation only to find a bad example dwelling among men which marred its true light and caused it to retreat farther and father from the surface of the flesh form.

     Thus, as the light withdrew, the soul remained as a pulsation behind the rhythm of the heart but separated in ever increasing degree from the outer manifestation of man's thoughts and feelings. By and by the beautiful soul which God had created in his own image became a thing independent of the nature of God until it seemed as though man dwelled in the uttermost part of the universe, so far was he from awareness of the eternal light, the realm of the angels, and the realm of beauty.

     Because the role of the mother is vital in the creation of opportunity for the incoming soul, there is a particular desire in my heart to place in the hands of all prospective mothers, and those who have among their friends mothers who desire to behold good rather than evil, information of a scientific nature concerning the bearing of God's children, in order that they might live in the essence of good and remain uninfluenced by the evils of the world, of the separate man, withdrawn from his Divine Self.

     Men wear callouses upon their consciences; they no longer feel the old responses that in times past sustained an attitude of noblesse oblige in the consciousness of man. Courtesy has been replaced by suaveness of disposition and a desire to possess rather than be possessed by God. Thus the fashion of the times has moved farther and farther away from the divine nature. But the laws of the Spirit which were employed so beautifully by Mary when she carried the founding Christ in her womb remain as new as time and eternity. Today, as always, the application of these laws can draw, unto mothers who wish to learn to love that full measure of devotion which will provide an avenue of comfort to the incoming child as well as the resurgence of its latent spiritual nature, its benign intelligence, and its emotional control.

     In order to achieve such results, the thoughts of the young mother must be directed into our octaves of light. For every cable of thought that is sent to God, to myself, and the heavenly hosts, we will reach down and establish in the consciousness of the mother who desires the best gifts for her child a cable of contact between our level and her own. Over this cable of light God will direct the energies of his heart, the sense of beauty, of illumination, of love, of understanding, of gratitude, of greatness of heart, and those specific endowments which heaven can find in the records of the lifestream that is taking form within her. Thus virtue and nobility can be traced upon the fabric of his soul in a manner that you can scarcely imagine or hold in the thought of your dreams.

     Remember that every brutal denial by mankind should but reinforce the God-determination within your heart, O blessed mother-to-be, to see outpictured in your child that strength of character that the world cannot touch. It is as the stone cut out without hands which the builders rejected; this was the image that I gave unto Mary when she carried Jesus in her womb. It was the image of an untouchable individual whose dominant virtues would be concerned with the strength of the nature of the Divine. How great is the need today for all to hold an immaculate concept for the incoming children and youth; for so many coarse souls are returning to embodiment through parents who have no concern for the heavenly hosts or the eternal realm, e'en though that realm is an ocean before the drop of their lives.

     Thus we urge both mother and father to contemplate the beautiful in art, in literature, in drama, in nature, and in relationships between peoples so that the young child that is growing within may be imbued with the best gifts of life. It is not enough to let him inherit your bones or the chemistry of your blood, nor would it be enough, though you were charged with spirituality, to give him but your own measure thereof. Seek, rather, to draw from the Godhead, from the star of the soul that shines above, awaiting the moment of birth, the substance that only the angel that dwells in the Presence of God can give; for each child, each man-ifestation, does have an angel Presence which is the God-individualized star of perfection whose radiant light source will ultimately ascend to become the master of life, the co-preserver, creator, and sustainer of the web of the universe which God has created as a home for all of his many manifestations.

     How vast the universe is, for the Infinite is all that the name implies. The strands of his love can be woven through your thoughts and feelings; his wisdom, his power can become the forte of your child to prepare him for his mission and enable him to come under our direction; for to be watched over by the angels is an honor which God has prepared for them who love him. To be the Mother of all living is well, and this is the sense of womankind today. But we prefer to say, "Farewell, Eve," and "Hail, Mary"; for not unto the children of the flesh, which can never inherit the divine kingdom, is the fulfillment of the mystery of life given, but to the son of God, to the children of the light, to those who are willing to weave garments of the Spirit, to these is given the eternal paradise of reality.

     Dwell not, then, in the world of illusion, in the jungle of tangled emotions, in the sense barrier of separation from the invisible realm. Let thy thoughts, the thoughts of thy heart and mind, reach right through; for we will smile through every cloud of worldly substance if you will aspire in your heart to be that wonderful mother that Mary was. This is a potential for all who can accept it in the same good faith in which I give it, as the visitant who often came and dwelled with Mary. May I offer to you during this Christmas season and always the ministry of my service and my love?

     Devotedly, I remain dedicated to the beautiful incoming children who shall produce for all mankind the golden age of hope and enlightenment.
