To All Who Love Peace and Are Willing to Pay the Price,
I urge upon every praying mother and upon every woman in whose heart there is a sustaining momentum of God's love to intercede to me during the coming weeks for a cessation of world conflict. Some do not know that, born of the necessity of mankind's own karma, the hierarchy has been forced to withdraw from interference in some of the war-connected activities. This has resulted in a temporary worsening of conditions calculated by heaven to dramatize, through the horror of war, the necessity to produce its permanent end.
Surely the prognosis of peace can be seen in the need to wage peace rather than to wage war. This my son sought to convey to those around him and they in turn, in fulfilling the divine beatitude "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God,"1 throughout all ages have obeyed his commandment based on karmic law "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart ... and thy neighbor as thyself."2
It is an absence of love, then, an absence of respect, of consideration, and of faith in others - and a great lack of faith in one's self - that permits the attitude of war to enter the consciousness of mankind. Yet Saint Germain, your beloved friend of light, has said that soldiers who are forced into battle, who kill in the heat of battle without hatred in their hearts but out of a sense of duty and responsibility to comrade and country, are partially exonerated of the karma of war. This knowledge should give some hope to those whose sons are forced into these strange and uncompromising situations.
The world situation as it is today is a breeding ground for violence. And it is to elucidate the law of cause and effect that we would point out to all that the effect of war cannot be mitigated in the realm of effects but only in the realm of causes. There are many agencies in the world as well as many individuals who are devoted to the cause of peace. These do not always understand that much of the preparation for launching warfare on a world scale is carried on every day as people continue to feed the stream of world thought with feelings of dislike, hatred, disgust, and misunderstanding of others. The accumulation of these loathsome errors is causative in the outbreaks of violence that stir the planetary aura.
Now then, as solution to it all the magnification of ancient intents of becoming a son of God - a ray of the eternal sun, a fragment of the coals of the altars of heaven, a manifestation of the law in mortal form, an indissoluble link with the eternal nature - is the only means of establishing permanent ties between the domain of the world and the domain of God. The tranquility of heaven is the peaceful coolness of the Garden of Eden, a place in consciousness where thought can stand still and see the salvation of God, a place where thought can reproduce in the mind the creative energies that originally brought it forth.3 Thus out of the creative fires of perfect love, which is that peace that passeth all understanding,4 can changes be wrought in the person, and these changes can be as the changes that manifest within my son, the Lord Christ Jesus.
Each and every person upon the planet who will attune with me can receive my ministration as a cosmic mother, my watchful care over their energies (which are indeed the energies of God), and my guidance on behalf of the Divine Manchild; for God longs to produce many sons and to bring them into captivity to his holy will.
"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God." Do you not see that peace must be forged by action? This does not mean the cessation of activity but rather a stepping up of the tempo of life's purposes and the exhibition of courage and grace in all that you do. It is never wise to attempt to stamp out violence by violence, as some say, "to fight fire with fire"; rather, quench the hot coals of hotheadedness by pouring the cool, refreshing water of life upon the burning, seething emotional vortex of man's devious energies. For the patterns of hate creation always issue out of the void where there is no love or understanding.
I do not intend here to examine the entire fabric of world ethic as it represents or misrepresents the divine ethic, especially in regard to the complexities of war; for certainly, there are those who would agree with what I would say and others who would disagree partially or even in toto. Rather than explore the intricacies of the law with you in this release I say to all, this is an area in which you must find your own way. For if heaven sought to dominate your thoughts completely, you would, perhaps, reject the healing ministrations of our band and in your rejection hinder the progress of the entire planet; for it is by the acceptance and magnification of love, by the acceptance and magnification of peace, and by the acceptance and magnification of every Godly quality that individuals finally come to the place where they know that their treasure dwells within their hearts.5 And it is in the heart of consciousness, in the heart of recognition, and in the heart of realization that the conceptions about life become fertile and expand.
I recall one morning when beloved Jesus was yet a small lad that he came to me with a very hard piece of wood that he was trying to whittle. He desired that I should persuade Joseph to exchange it for a softer piece, one that would lend itself more easily to molding. I sat him on my knee, and I proceeded to explain to him that there was an ingrained quality that of old had been placed within the tree making one to possess a harder quality and another a softer quality. I told him that the soft wood would easily mar and that, were he to use it, the little image that he sought to whittle would not endure the knocks and tumbles that might later come to it whereas a carving made of hard wood would endure more substantially.
I also told him that the wood enjoyed being shapened by his hands and that the only difference between the soft and the hard wood would be that of a greater use of patience on his part. He brushed back his hair which had fallen across his eyes and, with great and quick gentleness, planted a kiss upon both of my cheeks. I noticed a trace of a tear in one eye as he dashed away to continue his work of shaping the hard wood.
Thus, "in your patience possess ye your souls";6 for God works with people of diverse origins and perverse thoughts, seeking to restore all to their God-estate.
Lovingly in Christ's name, I remain
