To the Remnant of the Faithful:
So you have lost a friend - weep not, but rejoice. For when you are given the correct understanding, you will see clearly that only divine friendships last for eternity. These are never conditioned by outer expectations, but they are based on the inward faith of the soul in universal purpose.
No man can take from you that which the Lord has given to you, and I speak with a certain knowledge to everyone upon the planetary body who can accept it: the gift of divine friendship, when correctly understood and accepted, will not only bring the deepest comfort to your souls but it will also enable you to be a better and truer friend to every part of Life.
In all walks of life men are experiencing struggles because, quite frankly, their attention is constantly turned toward the outer self rather than to the inner Self. If they would reckon honestly, they would perceive that the outer self is in a constant state of vacillation and then they would be more inclined to tie themselves to wings of faith. For angelic wings are actually pinions of light which are able to cut men loose and set them free for all eternity from those vibratory actions of the human senses which constantly make of their consciousness a literal yo-yo - now up and now down.
It is constancy that we would give to you as our gift of faith, for constancy is the power to overcome those oppressive human traits that have never given to any man his freedom.
With the advent of Christ-knowing - approaching the earth as a radiant, starry gnosis, a manifestation of the all-seeing eye of God that beholds purity, love, and hope for all - it is encouraging to the angelic hosts to know that we are dealing with a matrix of the universal will that millions are able to accept. For among the remnants of orthodoxy, there is one traditional celebration that quickens the pulsation of the love flame in the hearts of even the most dense among humanity. It is the fashion of the Christ Mass, with all of its tinsel and glitter.
Unfortunately, many are caught up in the mad whirl of human expectations; nevertheless, a generated momentum of Cosmic Christ love and faith sweeps the world around, realigning human tendencies and pointing humanity toward God.
We of the angelic hosts are happy that such momentums can still be generated, and we take the fullest advantage of the spirit of the season; in many cases, we are obliged to tread lightly when approaching those who would be startled to know that our existence is real. Ours is the task - and not an easy one at that - of awakening a distraught humanity whose hopes for peace and reality have again and again been dashed to pieces by human nonsense. For what else can you call it but human nonsense when individuals constantly create a jangle of sounds and scenarios that tense the nerves and create a sinking feeling in the belly of their captive audiences? These are the vibrations that lead to hopelessness in the lives of many who do not see beyond their own noses or the experiences of a moment.
Precious ones of the light, I AM Michael. And my thoughts are made practical at this time in order that I may call to your earnest attention the fact that no threatening sense of loss has any reality to the soul. Outer conditions may change, but how do you know that they will not change for the better? How do you know that the character judgments of the individual who has allowed himself to become a trumpet for falsity and a court of unholy error are not one hundred percent wrong?
Realize that the law of the Infinite One is ever accurate in all of its judgments and manifestations. Be unconcerned with mortal considerations except to see to it that you yourselves are not guilty of the karma of placing oppressive obstacles in the pathway of your brother. You may not always be able to govern the actions of others toward you; but you can, precious ones of the light, govern your actions toward others. In this way your faith will be kept pure and you will find yourselves rising in consciousness to the hallowed vibrations of our Lord in his annual ministration to the children of men.
I do not wish you to think for one moment that every day is not a day of the Lord's service, but I would call to your attention the fact that mankind's own receptivity during the holy weeks preceding the Christ Mass makes his service more effective at this particular time of the year.
Will you, therefore, call with me to the powers of heaven and to the unfailing light of God for dispensations from the Solar Lords for the staying of the hand of the destructive forces that use the psychology of darkness against unsuspecting souls? Will you ask that these forces be exposed and that the work of the powers of darkness who would divide men's hearts be brought to naught?
The light we dispense from The Summit gleams upon the mountain of truth, of faith, and of hope. It is a staunch light that will stand for truth and know that error will never be vindicated, but only truth.
There are times when you are required to make decisions that demand the greatest courage and conviction of your life. These decisions may not always be easy, for sometimes they lead you to separation from those you love very much. Nevertheless, you should understand that when you have done your all, when you have exhausted your efforts at preserving service, friendship, and love on behalf of an individual or a group and you are continually attacked and bombarded by falsehood and destructive energies, you simply do not have to accept it nor should you be willing to sacrifice the ascended masters' standards on behalf of those who refuse to toe the mark.
You can call to me and to my sword of blue flame, which is a tangible manifestation of the sacred fire from God's own heart, to comfort you and to cut you free from all negation - even from those whom you may love dearly but who do not reciprocate your love.
Perish the thought that the action you take will cause them to fall or that heaven will desert them! But because you have taken a stand, because you have put yourself out of the way, the justice of the law can and will act impartially in the interest of the good of all concerned and you will have your freedom here and now. Thus the energy you have deposited in matrices of great hope for others will be used on behalf of those whom you may not even know as yet - as assistance, love, and light to further their spiritual evolution.
There are upon the planetary body old records of karmic hurts, personal vendettas, and hatreds of long standing; for these are carried over from one embodiment to the next until they are transmuted. These records are constantly being revolved in the minds of those who should know better and those who do know better - even in the minds of those who have been lovingly taught how to invoke the forgiveness flame. All should realize that each time they revolve these records, they strengthen the bond of iniquity and darkness upon the planet.
We who serve the great light and know the power of freedom to elevate the race insist that humanity shall now understand, and understand clearly, that there is only one reason for man's life upon earth and that is in order that he might find an unyielding, uncompromising faith in the unfolding destiny of his life under the hand of infinite grace.
Relationships which people think are based on love are often nothing more than human bondage. Each party to a pact of friendship may have some subtle design upon the other, yet I do not say that that alone is cause for breaking the friendship. My point is that all friendships should be made divine, and then they will no longer be subject to the whimsies of mortal thought and feeling. So many times the substance of the soul is torn literally in half as man's loyalty is divided between two friends who may not themselves agree.
The solution to the problem is that one's loyalty must be to God and to him alone. This loyalty should be guarded with one's life and it must never be compromised through associations with those who, by their actions, have proven that they are loyal neither to Him nor to their "friends" but only to themselves. Let men be a friend to the God who lives in all, and then their loyalties to God and man will be strengthened and preserved.
We, therefore, are concerned only with his great love-radiance that at this season of the year should be made a permanent flame in the hearts of all. May we ask, then, that you will continue to pray for this activity of light through which I am speaking and for its preservation against all obstacles? I say this because the closer it draws to the fulfillment of its mission, the more disturbed the dark forces of the world become and the more frantically they work to tear it down.
We are therefore asserting our protection for and on behalf of The Summit Lighthouse, the messengers, and all of the blessed students of this activity at this Christmas season, and we would make our release a permanent blessing from the archangelic level. Let your feeling worlds be at peace, and let your soul be filled with that indomitable sense of the glory of God that will let no obstacle stand in the way of your own Christ-victory.
When the soul wrestles with the human ego, let go of your sense of struggle and let the virtue of the light prevail, and then you will be multiplying and breaking the bread of the Divine Word among men as a living, tangible, moving object of the emancipation of the Christ. You will free the very image of the Christ from the via dolorosa, and you will exalt the true meaning of the Christ Spirit in the human family.
To you it is given to know the mysteries of God. The archangels are dispensing to you this season their love together with their wisdom; for we are buoyantly, joyously, determinately blessing you with our faith that will move mountains1 of adversity and prepare the way for blessings without number.
In the full faith of your overcoming victory, I remain
