When you stop and think that by diligent application over a period of from 20 to 60 years a soul can transmute and balance the karma of 250,000 years, you should be singing for joy all the day at this marvelous discovery and the release of Saint Germain into your midst in this century. But because you do not have what Morya calls commeasurement, you are not able to gauge the almost total lack of progress during the period that you have risen from the level of the caveman to your present level. You do not realize that if you would take away the accouterments of civilization and one embodiment of education, you would revert to a very primitive society. For your sophistications, your indoctrinations, are largely a matter of habit and not a matter of self-mastery.
Thus the control of the four lower bodies and of energy will be taught and stressed at the Ascended Master University. We have watched you take in knowledge for thousands of years. We are far more concerned with your mastery of that knowledge, for we know that the human mind retains less than 10 percent after some years pass of any knowledge that it receives. And thus you find that without the Christ Mind, without the Threefold Flame, humanity are little more than animals one toward the other. And yet such hope exists, for the fire within the heart is the Allness of God. It is not a replica of God; it is not a focus of God. It is God. It is not a reflection of God nor even an image. But the Threefold Flame in the heart is God Himself, condensed there that you might have the Consciousness of God and expand it.
Think, then, of the great progress that can be yours and can be mankind's if you will apply with diligence all the teaching that has been given. Let there be balance in all pursuits. Let not the children of the light lose themselves to darkness through loss of perspective, loss of their God Consciousness. For nothing is more important than the maintenance of your attunement with God.
And thus I urge you, and I urge the Mother of the Flame to urge you, to stop whatever you are doing at any time, any given moment, and to make a return to God before you wear away the delicate matrix, the delicate filigree of light that is a repository that we have placed around the brains, around the hearts of the chosen ones, of our disciples around the world. For, you see, even long before our disciples begin to call upon our name, we have a certain authority because of our office in Hierarchy to lend protection to souls of light. Otherwise, precious hearts, there would be no possibility of your finding the light. For the Path is strewn with barbs and thorns; and those that wait behind the rocks and in the ditches, the bandits of the night that wait to steal your very souls, are many indeed.
Therefore, believe me when I tell you that all of you at one time or another have entertained angels unawares,4 and sometimes in full awareness. And these angels have pushed and pulled in order to get you into situations where you would listen for a moment or meditate for awhile, placing your consciousness in the hands of God just long enough so that Heaven could pour in more energy, more protection, more light.
It is comparable to driving into a gasoline station and receiving gas for your car. Some of you think more of your cars than you think of your souls and you are more quick to tend their needs than you are to tend the needs of the soul. I say some of you, but I say almost 95 percent of mankind are in this frame of mind. What would you say, then, if you were a Hierarch in my position trying to save a planet that would not stand still long enough to have the hose of our consciousness tie into the hose of their consciousness and receive an infusion of light that would carry them along the way? Thus do planets where there is such ignorance encounter these energy crises that you are observing today.
Who would think that a planet could run out of oil or coal or natural gas? The next thing you know, they will be telling you that there is not enough air to breathe. And they have already told you that there is not enough earth to walk on and therefore that the doors must be shut to the incoming avatars, to the volunteers from Venus who desire to descend into form. And what will they say next? Around the corner is the crisis of water. Water pollution is a very great threat. Will they pollute fire? Will they pollute the fiery salamanders?
I tell you how they accomplish this. The black magicians do it. They imprison the fiery salamanders in grotesque forms. They cast hexes upon them. They lock them in geometric patterns whereby they can only behave in a certain manner. And thus the fiery salamanders are not allowed to do the work of purifying the earth, the air, and the water. For this is the job of the fiery salamanders; and fire as an element is at the core of all elements for the express purpose of allowing the sacred fires from on high to descend and to set up a forcefield, a polarity with the fire that is within, that impurities might be drawn off.
And thus those of you residing in certain areas are prohibited from burning of any kind - from burning your refuse, burning your leaves, or having fire on your property. And thus by law you have already been deprived of the fiery salamanders, who, if it were but understood, do not pollute the air when they burn the refuse, but, because of mankind's imbalance and the havoc that he has wreaked upon nature, find that it is most difficult to do their work, beset as they are with these conditions of the mass consciousness combined with those who have taken the left-handed path.
Therefore I ask you to pray diligently and to continue to pray for the freeing of the elementals; for by the power of the Holy Spirit in nature, Hierarchy can restore balance to the ecosystem and ecology can become a divine science. Without the participation of the elementals, mankind cannot hope to restore a paradise, an Eden of perfection upon earth.
And so, precious hearts, as you look to secure solutions to the problems that beset mankind, will you look within and draw from within the fire which, when it is expanded, can be seen by Cosmic Masters in other systems of worlds who are waiting to initiate you in higher spirals of consciousness? These Masters are forbidden by cosmic law to approach the earth until such time as those who abide here shall bow the knee to the Christ, confessing the Christ not only in Jesus, but in every Ascended Master - in Saint Germain and Morya, in Himalaya and Vaivasvata.
Those, then, who deny the Christ in Hierarchy, them also will the Cosmic Beings deny before the Central Sun. For Jesus is not interested in personality worship or in the personality-cult consciousness that has beset Christianity. He is interested in souls who will follow the great example, who will work the works that he did.5 And thus no matter how great the allegiance, if there be those who pour forth invective and vehemence against the Ascended Masters' teachings and against Hierarchy, they but limit their own progress on the Path and they retain their consciousness in a myopic sense that cannot even behold that the stars in the heavens are focuses of Hierarchy and signs of Cosmic Beings who have attained the Christ Consciousness to such an extent that their forcefield in the plane of Mater alone can send forth such light as to travel millions of light-years and still be undiminished.
Thus to deny the Christ in the least of these little ones is to deny it in Jesus. And therefore, you see, the Law is the Law. Ignorance of the Law is often the result of individuals' karma of having rejected the Law. When you present the teachings, remember that those who are in a state of ignorance often are in that ignorance because of past karma and also because of false theology and false doctrine and entities that have entered their very minds, demons that inhabit their bodies - through impure food, yes, but mainly through their fanaticism.
Wherever there is a fanatical consciousness, no matter what it is centered in, you can be certain that that individual is possessed. And therefore, even if individuals espouse a right cause or a cause that is relatively right, if they are fanatical and intolerant of others who do not believe as they believe, if they are narrow in their conception of God's opportunity that is extended to all mankind, you can be certain that they are under the influence of the demons of Satan and the discarnates who siphon their very life and are anchored in their consciousness for many, many reasons, including pride, including impurity, including ignorance.
The great antidote for all of this is light. And thus when Jesus pleaded to Peter "Feed my sheep" and when he asked him again and again, "Simon, son of Jonas, (Simon Bar-jona) lovest thou me more than these? Feed my sheep,"6 when Christ implored the answer, it was because he had taught the disciples to first pray for those whom they desired to convert to the light. And specifically did Jesus teach them to invoke the power of mighty Astrea, to invoke the power of the light of Shamballa, to cleanse the consciousness of those intruding forces that will bind the mind and bind the will so that it cannot hear the message of light, it cannot hear what you are saying, it cannot hear the Law when that Law is written in their very hearts.
