With the wings of divine peace from Shamballa in the East, I, Gautama, come unto thee this night holding for thy lifestream that redundant flame of cosmic hope which is the light of the world shared by every ascended being and intended to be shared by all men.
For in the fulfillment of the divine destiny, life magnifies cosmic purposes and by obedience to the law of supreme peace releases into the world of form in every lifestream, in every chaliced heart, the selfsame hopes which God has given to his only begotten Son and transferred in the magnificent at-one-ment of all hearts - as each man accepts for himself his divine Sonship and on the altar of peace drinks in to God-happiness, God-success, and the realization of the unity and unanimity of all life, when that life is measured by divine ideals.
I recall now from the days of my childhood when, as Gautama, I dwelled within the palace. Siddhartha Gautama was my name. And from me there was kept, by the decree of my father, all knowledge of sin, of sickness, and of death. And a world of relative illusion was spun by human intent around my world - a protective net to shield me from the pain, suffering, and distress of man's aborted, outer-world consciousness.
Mankind today are seldom shielded from the traumatic experiences of life, and great is the distress of many as they ask themselves this question: What is life about when happiness has flown out the window? And so, in the miasma of mortal thought and feeling, any number of individuals each year remove themselves from the screen of life in a frightful abortion of the divine intent.
Tonight as we come to you, it is to spread the tangible radiance of God-peace over the world, that the intended flow of divine happiness may expand in every heart, the illusion perish, and the reality remain. Surely so it was intended. Surely so it one day will be manifest for all. Surely the hope of the world is the consciousness of the Christ, of the immortal Son, of the fulfillment of the beautiful divine drama.
Men have said that out from the mystic East there does flow a stream of the radiant lightning of God's love. For it has been said: As the lightning cometh from the east and goeth unto the west, even so shall the coming of the Son of man be.1 And thus the hope of the world continues to flow as men ignore that flow and see it not, immersed as they are in their outer doings. As aurora borealis, it fills the sky at midnight, when it could be witnessed, and at noontide when it cannot be seen except by spiritual perception. And yet men see it neither time, for their eyes are slanted toward the earth and toward the consciousness that does not bring them happiness except in temporary increments which are lost in the whirlpool of mortal confusion and of shadowed concept.
There is a groaning tonight within the earth, and the very axis thereof does speak and the stones cry out2 expressing glory to God to make up the human deficiency and the lack of mankind's praise for the bounties of life bestowed by cosmic intent upon the world but not received because deaf ears3 are turned to the voices from on high, and only the few are capable in each generation of comprehending the infinite capacity of God to love his creation free. The love that is not accepted but is diverted and utilized only to further the lusts of the flesh is not the fulfillment of the divine ideals but is a spreading abroad of impurity, distress, confusion, and unhappiness in the human domain.
Mighty is the LORD of Life, mighty is the LORD of Hosts - and his right arm is strong to save.
Yet I come tonight, even by special dispensation, as a World Teacher - as Maitreya from out the East, as Jesus and Kuthumi. For I fulfill their office this night to say unto all in the human wise-dominion, that in the human wise-dominion (as God intends it to be) the light of God manifest in all true religions must come to a consummate unity whereby the confusions of the various elements of orthodoxy are laid aside in a vast universal panacea of divine love - healing unguents for the evils of the world produced by the Spirit of Love inherent within the cosmic gift which God has given to each founder of every true religion. For there is a cosmic pattern which is inherent within them all.
And therefore, this year we shall intensify as never before in the wise dominion of mankind's thoughts and feelings, the understanding and comprehension that the differences between religions are not as great as the similarities. There is but one God, and each individual is a manifestation intended to be a manifestation of that benign God Presence upon earth - a star of hope to the world!
That individuals do not reflect this Light is not the fault of the Godhead, but it is the fault of an ever-spreading confusion of conflicting reports of human discord and of brother pitted against brother in a search for a fraudulent righteousness which does not produce the perfection God intends, nor the understanding and spiritual expansion which God intends, because so much of mankind's energy is diverted into a spirit of vain competition and error - Christian turning against Buddhist, and Buddhist against Christian, Moslem against Hindu, and all seeming to reflect a spirit of fear rather than a spirit of love that produces peace on earth, good will to men.
Of late now come from the Christmas season, mankind do not understand the meaning of that which seems to their consciousness to be passed until the turning of another year and the equinoxes fly by. Our intent, however, is through this twelve-month cycle to acquaint mankind by a special impetus, granted by the Karmic Board, with the great need to let flow in the world domain the loving intent of the All-Father.
Differences are fanned into a flame that burns and destroys harmony. The true divine flame kindles the feeling of Christ love in men and women of all faiths and produces the blessing of hope to the world for a magnificent return of the planetary body and its people to the pristine and pure purposes held in the heart of God from Eden unto the present day.
Now, as there are assembled in the Grand Teton chambers those august emissaries from the planet Venus - the Lord Sanat Kumara and his lovely consort, the lovely Lady Master Venus - the Great Divine Director, the God and Goddess Meru, your own beloved Jesus and Mary, and members of the great cosmic councils, the mighty emissaries from the Great Central Sun, the Great Central Sun messengers, and all who have to do with the revelation of divine truth to the planet - we are awaiting the transmission of the thoughtform for the year [1967].
And so, as you pause, will you please be seated, that the peaceful and calm energies flowing from your heart will attune with the emissaries of light here, that you may be bathed in that light and feel that essential flow as the celestial choirs and the Great Tenor4 join in paeans of praise to God for taking through this vast twelve-month cycle the planetary body and all the planetary bodies in this system of worlds as well as worlds without end.
And sidereal time is also brought to the attention of those who comprehend it, that they may reckon with the spiritual fulfillment of cosmic grace - sometimes born out of due time and then again fulfilled according to the precise cycles.
For the debt of mercy which God feels he owes to life as the Creator has been a continual source of mighty inspiration and grace to mankind; for when individuals did not apparently merit it, according to karmic decree, many times the infinite and living, flaming hand of God penetrated through the fourth-dimensional ethers and reached out into time and space to consummate an act of infinite mercy for one who ill deserved it, in the special and fond hope that perchance that individual would yield the sovereignty of his own personal, individualized will and receive the diamond, sparkling, holy will of God into the cup/chalice of his own heart, reversing the process of disintegration of the person and individuality, and reaffirming attunement with his Divine Presence.
Hosanna unto God on high! May the elements of infinite peace expand through the universe and cleanse and wash all manifestations less than divine perfection by the aspect of God-purity that produces the perfection of the God-design in the world of form as individuals conform in their thought to the thought of Christ-victory!
Now descending from on high, borne by seven Angels of Record in a radiance of holy pink, the pink of divine love (to which has given rise the concept which men do echo: "you are in the pink"), we perceive descending from the heart of God a beautiful thoughtform which will bring delight to your hearts - especially those who were here this evening last5 - for the thoughtform for the year is a beautiful golden replica of the planetary body Earth. And through the axis thereof and actually manifesting on the outer periphery of that Earth is the stalk of a beautiful golden calla lily - the calla lily rising up to what is known as the North Pole and extending its influences not only over the Earth and its people but over the immediate area of outer space surrounding your world, the area that has been penetrated by numerous vehicles which the mankind of Earth have sent to outer space as a probe and experiment for interplanetary travel.
We ask that this holy image of cosmic purity - for above the lily are the golden Old English letters entitled "God-Purity." The precious calla lily has within it the amrita, the nectar of the holy ones who have attained their victory upon every planet in this system of worlds and are, spiritually speaking, appointed by divine decree to be lords of the individual worlds of the planetary bodies of this system. And therefore, the radiance and momentum of each such a one is within this calla-lily cup, this golden vessel of the temple from on high.
And purity, even God-purity, is the salvation of the Earth throughout the twelve-month cycle to come. And it is the means of the purification of the temple of each individual's world and the universal purification of all upon this planetary body to whom renewed hope then is given that purity and purification are possibilities to every man.
Let no one, then, in vainglorious and foolish imagining, presume that this is an impossibility unto their lifestream. Let them not stoop to a false humility that denies the divine intent and presume that they cannot accomplish it in the days of their purification. For it was by divine decree from the beginning the intention of God, and it has been throughout the ages.
Now as the avatars from on high, uniting their energies and forging great cables of light and cosmic reflectors, do beam unto the planetary body of the Earth and to mankind here the radiant energies of their own momentums of victory and service to God, it is our hope that each individual will cognize that this is a precious, divine treasure intended for their utilization, that freedom may dawn first within their mind and heart and then within all the facets of their lifestream.
Accept the fiat of cosmic freedom through the purification of your world - beginning with the purification of your thoughts. Let your faith be purified! Let your hope be purified! And let your love be purified! so that it is not a love of expectancy turned to mankind upon the planetary body which requires reciprocity and that men shall do unto you some act of benefit to your lifestream in return and recompense for that grace which you give to them. The kingdom of God is not so.
And in the golden calla-lily image, forming an axis for the Earth, is the hope that the spines of mankind, as the axis of their own individualized worlds, will become altars of purity ...
For the divine currents to flow
And to purify here below
By the melody from on high
The purity from the sky -
Descending into the chalice
As God draws nigh
To each and every lifestream
And speaketh unto all:
"Thou art my beloved Son,
In whom I AM well pleased!"6
And if this come in the voice of thunder within your own consciousness, bear well in mind that it is the divine intent fulfilling itself, and it remains but for your acceptance of the gift and your acceptance of the instruction and the bowing low of your mortal consciousness to the holy Christ image, Messias, which has come within.
For the nectar of God is the light by which he has framed the worlds and formed all things. The beloved Son is the one and only begotten into which all may drink, all becoming joint-heirs7 with him who is the cosmic One - even as Jesus and all of us in the band of Light-servers do produce the fruit of the Cosmic Christ in our service to life.
Go and do thou likewise,8 as thou hast never done before. For thy service must one day be supreme. So it is written in the archives of peace, and so it is written in the archives of happiness - and so it is intended that joy in life shall be continuous and continual and without end. For such is the heaven of God, such is the consciousness of the All-Father, such is the flame within yourself which you feel on occasions and which on all occasions is aware of you - even as the Father is aware of the sparrow who falls,9 yet falls not far from the parent intent.
In the name of the Great White Brotherhood, in the name of the Spirit of Infinite Peace, in the name of the coming golden age, and on behalf of all humanity, I, Gautama, salute the flame, the golden flame of illumination within thy heart.
