I have said that being is electronic. Your Electronic Presence is a sun center of whirling energies of light garnering consciousness. It is a fire infolding itself.1 It is a magnetic forcefield drawing unto itself pure being, pure selfhood, cycle by cycle increasing a point of God Self-awareness, the awareness of being as the fiery nucleus of life.
Here below in the planes of Matter life is also electronic. Man is a forcefield, complex, of whirling energies, molecules of Matter. He is a chemical formula all his own composed of many chemical elements. Man is a physical equation. Obedient to the laws of physics, he moves in time and space.
Yet the soul is not bound by time and space; neither is it confined in its expression to the laws of chemistry and physics. The soul is an electron of the Great Central Sun of being. Orbiting around the I AM Presence, the soul is the electron that has the option of electing to do God's will.
You who have elected to do that will have called yourselves chelas, and you are called by us chelas of the Ascended Masters. The path that you are following is in reality the path of the law that governs the electron in its orbit around the sun that is the I AM Presence. Those who are not on the path, whether consciously or unconsciously, are no longer free to move in and around and through the energies of the I AM Presence. They have not overcome the gravity of the mass consciousness. Their souls have not taken flight.
To be free to respond to the initiations of the path, you must be free from the magnetism of mankind's carnal-mindedness. "For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace."2 Indeed, there can be no chela and no path unless the electron of being is free to elect to return to the center of God. Chelaship is the way of transition from the plane of the mass consciousness to the heights of God consciousness. Unless he can garner enough light in the aura of self to keep him free to orbit around his own sun center, the chela, by definition, is not the chela.
You then have a responsibility; and that responsibility is to keep yourselves so filled with light that at any hour of the day or night you are found free moving, a free agent of the sacred fire - not bound by your own sense of limitation or the limitation which others would impose upon you. You must be free to accept the limitless reality of your being. You must not allow anyone to take from you the freedom to be unlimited in your God Self. God made you free, and you must defend the law of your being and your freedom to create after the image and likeness3 of your own God-reality.
Just as you must garner the necessary thrust of light to preserve the freedom of your soul, to preserve your soul in freedom, so the planet as a whole must retain that thrust of light that will keep it in orbit not only around the physical sun center of this solar system, but also around the spiritual sun that is the source of life for all lifewaves in the system. Each one who is able to sustain the thrust of light required to keep himself free becomes a candidate for the garnering of energies necessary to keep the planet free.
The weight of world karma has never been greater. The Divine Mother intercedes before the Court of the Sacred Fire on behalf of the children of God that the descent of their own karma might not destroy the very platform of their evolution. As Thoreau said, "What is the use of a house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?" So we say, what is the use of the path of initiation if the planetary platform can no longer sustain its evolutions?
Therefore, the path of initiation is drawn with two parallel lines. The first is man attaining self-mastery in the microcosm of his being, and the second is man attaining self-mastery in the Macrocosm of the planetary body and consciousness. Chelas who have garnered the thrust of energy necessary to sustain the first line of initiation are given the opportunity to sustain the second.
So many upon the planet earth ignore the laws of God and their own opportunity to make any advancement whatsoever along spiritual lines that it is a requirement of the great law that the few in every age carry the weight of planetary karma in order that the many might find opportunity for overcoming both in the present and in the future because the planetary platform has been preserved.
Jesus the Christ was the saviour of the world because in the moment of victory he held the balance for all mankind. This means that the thrust of light that he garnered within his aura was sufficient to hold the balance for the entire weight of the sins of the world. Because he held that balance, you and all mankind have the opportunity for evolution here and now.
Now it is your turn. Your time has come. Now you can join the forces of your light momentum to that of the saviour of the world and you can declare, "In Christ I AM [God in me is] the saviour of the world!" and thereby draw to yourself the energies of salvation that are for the preservation of a planet and a people.
As long as you retain the awareness of who you really are and what you really are and where you really are, this true awareness of selfhood will enable you to maintain an expanded forcefield of consciousness that will attract grids of light from the heart of your own I AM Presence. And thereby you will become a blazing sun center of light here below in the planes of Matter just as you are in reality in the planes of Spirit.
If you would preserve the path of initiation for yourself and your offspring, then you have a vested interest in preserving the planetary platform. And as you look upon the world today, no matter what your perspective, you can truthfully say all is not well with mankind.
Those who elect to be electrons of God must move among mankind, that the light of their auras might be absorbed by souls in need of light. Each soul who learns to garner a thrust for the preservation of the Macrocosm must also unite with other souls whose auric field has a similar intensity. Hierarchy requires nuclei of souls who will band together for the meshing of their electronic fields for the sake of reinforcing one another's light body, one another's determination in the will of God.
This requires sacrifice - the sacrifice of the human consciousness. Hierarchy has sponsored many uplift movements. We have founded organizations before, and always there have been those factors of differences in the human personality which chelas have allowed to come between them and their cosmic purpose. "All your strength is in your union"4 - first with the God Self and then with one another.
The principles of geometry must be understood when you determine to unite for hierarchy. You must not allow gossip, misunderstanding, or personal idiosyncrasies to stand between you and your service. We do not need splintered groups, fragmented or fractioned energies. We need a body of devotees all for one and one for all.
You must understand, then, that one of the early initiations on the path is intended to prove whether or not the chela can get along with other chelas. The chela who separates himself bodily from the body of devotees serving the Christ and removes himself into a ivory tower of spiritual pride and self-righteousness is not eligible for membership in the Great White Brotherhood. Brotherhood means "I AM my brother's keeper."5 This is the byword of overcomers. Having overcome, they have said, "We are responsible for those who have yet to overcome."
And therefore long ago the fraternity of the Great White Brotherhood was formed. It is a fraternity of ascended and unascended beings, of those who have overcome and of those who are yet overcoming. And the term "white" signifies that they are garnering the thrust of energy necessary for a cosmic purpose and for the fulfillment of that purpose in an entire planetary body and in an entire system of worlds. Our thrust cannot be content to remain within the confines of the single electron. We trust that our thrust is great enough to thrust the entire world into the white-fire core of being, into the fiery blueprint of the inner geometry.
How can we expand the Ascended Masters' teachings or the Ascended Masters' activity when our chelas bicker among themselves about the form of services or about what decrees should be given or about methods of outreach? Our chelas must present a united front to the world. Our chelas must show that the knowledge of Ascended Master law leads to love, unity, and above all, a caring and a compassion for one another. Chelas must be living proof that Ascended Master law meets every need - human and divine.
Remember this and listen well: If you can't get along with or serve your fellowman or your fellow chela on the path, then you won't get along with or serve the Ascended Masters. And so we withdraw from those who call themselves chelas but who fail in their service to and with each other.
Then there is always the chela who says sanctimoniously to another chela on the path, "Well, I love your Christ Self, but I can't stand your human." They presuppose that they understand which is which. They look at the chela and they see the human. I say, look again and behold in his place the Master who declared, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."6
Can you look at me squarely in the eye and tell me that you always know when the human consciousness is acting and when it is the Master working through a fellow chela to test the threshold of your pride, your irritation? We do not need to appear to the chela to test his soul. We have only to use another chela to determine what is the level of sacrifice. How much of the self are you willing to surrender in order to retain the privilege of working side by side with those whose devotion to our flame may be far beyond your own?
When the chelas of the Ascended Masters will demonstrate their unity in the flame, then they will see how their combined thrust of light energy will expand the word and bring the planet into the golden age.
I shall come again to bring you signs of the path of your soul's overcoming. Be of good cheer. The Ascended Masters have overcome the world.7
