51  Beloved Archangel Uriel - December 17, 1967

Vol. 10 No. 51 - Beloved Archangel Uriel - December 17, 1967

     Children of men, the Science of the Soul cannot be captured in a thimble. The semantics of progress have been imprisoned within a mortal cage of words and seek release in a new language of the Spirit. The science of word knowledge is as little understood by the masses of mankind as are the tongues of Angels or Cosmic Tongues of unknown worlds. And thus the Love of God that shines forth so clearly to those who have eyes to see appears to some as the underscoring of the clouds whose darkened surfaces, haloed by a golden radiance, bid promise of the Sun.

     Great men have come and gone. Their entrances and exits upon the stages of Life leave impact but this is far too frequently surpassed by the whimsy of rising meteoric flashings, signifying pride and the desire for fame as mortal hopes for personal gain rise and wane. Each Soul has its inherent worth. The Father of Universal Life did not create any individual bereft of purpose or magnificence; therefore, a willingness to perceive the gleams of the Christ in the darkness of personal manifestation will invoke a breakthrough.

     The Angels of Ministration Who serve with Me desire to assist the lifestreams of Earth and every individual who searches and hungers For greater Love, for greater Understanding, for greater Manifestation, in the achievement of that magnification of the original Cosmic Purpose that constitutes Truth and Reality. It is not enough, precious ones, to desire. Desire must be fanned by the God-Flame into some radius of action. An expanding orbit is desirable, but men must claim that which they invoke. The hopper of the mind must maintain flow, but if it become filled with a jargon of undigested material, it will reject the product of its own greedy search only to be left to feed starvingly upon that substance of questionable "truth" which it has predigested.

     The need of the Soul, then, in contemplation of the Magnificent Purpose of the Godhead for each lifestream, is to court the Beauty of Perspective by asking the Eternal Father to unfold the Drama of Dominion over the sphere of personal identity. Thus the hallowed Circle of God's Infinite Purpose shall descend in proportionate measure to overlay the individual Life Purpose of Man as it was outlined "in the beginning." The borders of that Purpose, together with the understanding of its ultimate fulfillment, shall then be seen to widen day by day in a safe and sane manner, and the promised Dominion will become a field of secure Reality to each child-seeker for the God Domain.

     The Angels of Our Band are Ministers Who seek to assist mankind in the Harvest of Eternal Reality. We do not deny that the Father has often sent Us on a Mission of Mercy to wing Our Way to the most unsuspecting heart at a moment even when human desires were active. There, in some small measure, it was Our Service to comfort men in the satiation of their little needs while, as with a penciled sunbeam, We sought to penetrate the grossness of mortal thought and feeling with the ethereal Reality of the great continents of the air, the Heavenly Realm, the Kingdom of God. It is not that Heaven seeks to provide mere creature comforts to men, but We understand that without some measure of sanity and balance which these often bring, individuals would lose their way in the dark and fail utterly to regain that perspective by which the Law of Love, Justice and Universal Being becomes known to each one.

     One of the dearest desires of the Lord Christ Jesus, often expressed to many of Us in the Angelic Realms, is that men should make an effort to understand themselves. The Christ of each man is the Saviour of that man, and unless he is able to make contact with the Christ of his own Being, the Redemption of the Universal Christ into which the Master Jesus entered in consciousness must remain, for all intents and purposes, a garment of such large proportions as to ill fit the emerging child-man.

     Mankind should understand that through attunement with the Gift of Light that is their own individualized Holy Christ Self, they are able to attain to a state of being wherein consciousness can expand into its own Reality, its own Relativity, and thus achieve universal Reality, universal relativity - the ability to expand and contract form, the ability to disseminate consciousness through the world ring and out into the domain of spiral nebulae and starry distances beyond comprehension. The reach must always exceed the grasp, but the domain of the field of the Lord must be understood as having an appointed habitation or boundary circumscribed by Cosmic Law and sacrosanct to the Soul of each individual.

     It is when they begin to sense the Christ Mission as it pertains to the unfoldment of individual purpose that men are chosen for a higher field of action. In the magnificence of these Christ Ideas, in the magnificence of this season of rejoicing between Heaven and Earth, and even in the midst of current world turmoil, We must continue to serve for the expansion of Divine Reality in the individual domain. Sense dogma and sense theology are the ways that seemeth right unto men, the end of which are the ways of death (Proverbs 16:25); for God is not confined to dogma or to a blind theology: His Laws are consistent and whole. He is free and as the Author of Freedom for all, He is never the Author of confusion, but always of Revelation. The curtains of opacity are raised day by day for those whose Faith permits them to see beyond the veil and the cycle of the years to the place where the Lord of Universal Habitation layeth out the Blueprints of First Cause for each individual.

     Ain-Soph,1 the Holy Wisdom, the Divine Theosophia, the Virgin of Perfect Perception, Perfection - Perfection-Perception - as diastole and systole of Universal Purpose beat out the Life pulses that renew, redeem, revivify, encourage and raise the boundaries of personal Vision until the whole Cosmos is seen in the Flame of the Heart, a Doorway through which the Soul may plunge into an Infinite River of Light-Reality and make his way back to the Heart of God.

     Thence cometh the Soul as the Lord of Life and Death, the Renewer of the Energies of the "quick and the dead" who raiseth up (as Moses raised up the brazen serpent in the wilderness, Exodus 4:3) the Cross of Light and Hope that shines in His Star. This is the Star of every Man who believeth and cometh into the world where God is as an ever-expanding Sphere of Light that ring upon ring enduringly IS Omnipresent, Omniscient and Omnipotent.

     Him.

     We have seen His Star in the East and are come to worship Devotedly,

URIEL
ARCHANGEL OF MINISTRATION
