The placing of man's thoughts upon the cosmic designs fresh from the Heart of God assures humanity that the Spirit of the Prince of Peace1 is by divine ordination purifying the mind and heart from all that would destroy the world order and oppose its ultimate spiritual victory.
As God is, so man is - providing he will release his consciousness into the cosmic flow and divest his body of all tension and his mind of the sense of lack that is the basic problem of mortal insecurity. So long as mankind accept in their mental and feeling worlds the idea that their manifestation is less than the Divine Image, so long will they grovel in self-limiting matrices - all the way from the degradation of self-belittlement to the exaltation of self-aggrandizement - which place them either above or below their peers in standard and accomplishment.
What a pity this is! For wherever there is condemnation of man by man, the spirit of man is often cast down by the weight of human hatred and human effluvia, and all too frequently his opportunities for spiritual attainment are aborted. Whereas the very nature of God is imbued with the divine sense of abundance, His cosmic generosity is easily transferred, blessed ones, unto you and unto all mankind. If only they will surrender their human sense of limitation and recognize that the fullness of the Godhead that dwells in Christ bodily2 is also within the seed of Sacred Fire that He implanted within their own heart!
Karmic recompense may momentarily cloud the issues that are before humanity, but the surrender of oneself into the total keeping of God by an absolute faith in His omnipresence allows one to work out the retributive factors of one's life while moving steadfastly toward Perfection's goal. While this faith might appear to some as a manifestation of utter delusion or an unfortunate hypocrisy, their own doubts prevent them from the clear seeing that would give them the inner peace of soul-knowing. This peace, when called into action, enables all who receive it to understand in part and to know in part.3
The faith that abides in the soul who is receptive to the master plan always exalts the true nature of man. Thus by faith man rises steadfastly out of the mortal socket of revolution into the spiritual standard of evolution, never compromising any thing or any quality of the Godhead in order to receive those temporary satisfactions of the flesh which in their emptiness have often prevented the manifestation of the very spirituality men seek.
I am a cosmic mother; and I am concerned with the progress of the faithful, or those who long so to be, providing they are willing in their commitment unto immortality to appropriate that grace which God and the cosmic Hierarchy are already bestowing upon mankind in preparation for the Golden Age now incoming. Many men and women are too selfish to recognize the preventative action that the Hierarchy take from time to time over the affairs of the individual as an automated safeguard which protects those who are so deeply sincere from creating in depth that negative karma which could become their nemesis. These must understand that by the grace of God the inflowing of the Holy Spirit into their lives, while it may seem to be a manifestation of the rod of chastisement, is a staff of divine support upholding the best gifts and the best endeavors of all who truly keep the faith.4
The role of the Cosmic Mother is one with which many can easily identify when first they hear of it, as though they were witnessing the fulfillment of the revelations given to Beloved John concerning the "Woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars."5 But there is often a gulf between human aspirations and divine attainment, as was indicated to John when he asked the angel of the Lord for the "little book." For he said, "Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey."6
Therefore, the wise ones who perceive the need for perpetual striving will not negate their divine opportunities, but enhance them. It is necessary that mankind should move steadfastly toward Perfection even while those cosmic drives of the Spirit to which they ought to become subject are moving them forward into higher and higher states of cosmic bliss. The challenge of striving is in the summoning of the best energies which mankind already have within them from the divine order of Selfhood.
Too few are they who are willing to understand and apply the teaching of Paul "the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts."7 Too many are those who are buffeted about by the desire to enhance the setting of the ego at the same time that they recognize the ego to be their greatest enemy.
We realize full well how difficult it is for individuals at certain points in their spiritual evolution to maintain the constant state of listening grace in mind and heart that is required in order to fulfill cosmic contracts. For having vowed unto God, man is expected to fulfill. And if he does not, he who sows the wind shall reap the whirlwind.8 Cosmic energies held in the ascendency are ever to be commended as the guiding link that will fructify in man the noblest of his aspirations.
It is not customary from divine standards for the representatives of the Holy Spirit, or any who are linked with us in the net of higher aspiration, to function in a condemnatory manner against any lifestream. Rather should they, as we do, seek to remember that the faculties and frailties of the human spirit must be nurtured through periods of common distress, not in support of man's failures or his unrighteousness, but rather for the purpose of strengthening those divine elements which are truly a part of the Divine Self of every man. If it were not possible for man to attain perfection, Heaven would long ago have revealed it unto the seeking mind and heart.
I AM Mary, a mother who has become a cosmic mother - one who seeks to produce the fruit of peace on earth, goodwill to men;9 but I am aware that there are some among mankind who yet dwell in the sense of mortal failure. This unfortunate state of consciousness - this tarrying in the tents of darkness - can and should be cast down. For out of the Light comes the fullness of that strength which overthrows the darkness in every man.
The wise son of God, aware of his own failures as well as the darkening perceptions of life that are the common lot of ordinary mankind, is willing to surrender the energies of his mind and heart in that unspoken adoration of the shining cosmic Principle which will soon become his own. Thus are born those attitudes of mind and heart which are inductive of the New Age. And these will surely produce the fruit of the Spirit in all who will conform to the great cosmic Law as it is revealed by those magnificent God-free Beings who are striving together even now for the spiritual development of mankind.
Out of the balm of Hierarchy comes the ruling, God-victorious power over all of nature; and all manifestation comes from the recognition of that power in man. This is the power that coordinates the affairs of men and releases mankind from the tension that mounts with struggle into the free-flowing movement of the Holy Spirit. Like a pillar of fire or a pillar of cloud,10 the Spirit of the Lord strengthens the bond between hearts who truly love God, creating a mutual burden of glory that is bestowed when the humble of heart bring the fruit of their striving to the feet of the Lord.
I AM your servant and mother, persevering with you in cosmic Truth, Light, Love, and Illumination,
