Precious ones, the journey of the Light from the East goeth unto the West with lightninglike love.1
Humanity, with both washed and unwashed palms, hold hands up to the Light to receive the drops of mercy and of life that are dispensed unto them. And we come with both mercy and love for the coming year - and both will be needed, for the configurations of human hate and despair are a great burden to the body of the world. But ours is the way of eternal peace. And as we come, there emanates from our heart the light and love that has long and eternally been bestowed upon humanity. It is a love that speaks of the renewal of the wings of strength, that man may be able to fashion great cords of love, a stronghold upon the bastions of the Deity himself, that humanity may contact the higher lords and may receive within themselves the understanding of the spiritual hierarchy.
For we come both in times of need and in times of satisfaction of human needs - not to kindle in man those human needs which are already a wildfire of delusion, but instead to create in the hearts of men, and especially the young children, those fiats for the new age which will assist man in the unfoldment of his hidden strengths.
The springs of love are beginning to unwind in the human heart. And as they enter into the domain of action, you will see in the forthcoming year that many positive actions will be taken, for this is the unraveling of the skeins of destiny. But at the same time, many, through misunderstanding and selfishness, will pursue the ways of their own violence and destruction, seeking to wreak havoc upon the world and to cause suffering and pain to many hearts.
While they may be able to do this, unfortunately - simply because they have free will and their free will has then become the harbinger of death and destruction to humanity - we who understand the great love star of immortal faith realize that those who have the power to keep the faith will do so. And out of the light that God has spread abroad, from the canopy of the heavens into their heart, will descend a great and broad peace which will also radiate to the world both as peace and as a hunger for peace.
For I have come this night in order to enfold your hearts in the majesty of those divine ideals which can keep the citadel of a man's being free from all the penetration of outer darkness and outer despair.
Those who are wise will understand that whenever conditions arise in the world of form that have a tendency to disturb humanity, then we expect that man will also invoke the presence of the Powers of Light to take command of those situations so that we can produce the miracle of our cosmic peace upon many hearts. And there are many hearts, you know - all over the world and the planetary body, there are responsive hearts held like hands waiting to be filled with the grace of God.
Will you then accept and realize that these things are true - that there are many throughout the world who are anchor points which God uses, which hierarchy uses, to weave the antahkarana of cosmic love as a garment of light over the entire planetary body?
Now comes the day when we must invoke in the hearts of the students of light a great desire to know the things of the Spirit. The knowledge of the carnal mind,2 the knowledge of chemistry, of electricity, of radioactivity, of the many branches and departments of science - these have spread abroad into the world domain, and many pursue those paths. But will you also understand there is a great need for men and women of the Spirit, men and women of vision to carry the great cosmic balls of light that are radiating now into the planetary body, carrying into this domain a renewal of cosmic thought about humanity?
For the purposes of God are not idle dreams. They are woven of cosmic light and life, imbued with the power of the seven mighty Elohim, also saturated with the majesty of the great cosmic archangels. Will you then realize that in this domain of cosmic majesty, where are woven so many beautiful plans for those ideals of God-realization to become the inheritance of the elect upon the earth, that we anticipate a receptive pole in your consciousness, a recognition of the power of immortal destiny as beating your heart and flooding the forcefield of your individualized beings with such light and loveliness as you have never before known? This is, then, the will of God, amplifying by the power of the cosmic white-fire cube the radiance of the kingdom of perfection among men.
And now, beloved hearts, may I also address those cosmic beings and spiritual masters assembled here in the Grand Hall of the Royal Teton. And may we say to each one of them that humanity waits. May we signify to them that humanity reaches out hungry arms, waiting for the release of cosmic destiny and cosmic reality into everyone's heart that needs.
For all who are hungry shall be filled,3 and none shall be left empty. Do you understand the meaning of this? It signifies the abundance of heaven. Do you understand the meaning of this, O great hearts of light, O transcendent ones, saturated with the infinite power of God - you to whom is given to know the destiny of man, to whom is given to know how you can descend upon man with those great cosmic cords of love to bind those recalcitrant conditions in man until such a day as, of his own free will, he can at last understand that even though these recalcitrant conditions in man should be loosed upon the world, that because of the polarization of humanity toward the Light, they will not accept it, and evil will die of its own accord and unholy alliances will actually be destroyed because no one will feed them?
Man should understand clearly that the will of God will be done because of the welcoming of human hearts, because in mankind's heart there is a desire to have this eternal radiance which descends from the great focus of the Central Sun through the great love star here in the Grand Teton ranges, radiating out its circle of cosmic fire now and contacting the entire earth.
The abundant life pours out its radiance upon the planetary body, until those who are able to attune with the fineness of this will also find the receptive actions of their hearts becoming polarized by cosmic ideals and contact with the great ascended masters and cosmic beings who have long yearned to give unto humanity those tremendous radiances and powers which have formerly been only the forte of those God-realized men who have stood illumined by Light and surrounded by the great power of Light's love.
Will you, then, open the forcefield of your own individual hearts? Will you feel the great trembling upon the cup and lip of manifestation that is now evoking in man a response to the glow of the Light as it pours through the great star here in the Teton ranges - its cosmic fire generating also in every angel and in every cosmic being a momentum of cosmic service, the descent of eternal light and loveliness to the world from the very grand halls of the Great Central Sun itself, radiating here through the Grand Teton and expressing to humanity throughout the planetary body that God is love, expressing to all that the love and peace of God are more tangible and more beautiful by far than has formerly been imagined by the human mind in all of its great outreach for the cosmic majesty of God?
I, Gautama, in the name of peace, speak to you tonight, that we must forge such a union amongst all humanity and with cosmic beings as shall unite hearts and prevent those inroads, those iniquitous inroads in man, which divide brother from brother, nation from nation, and people from people until humanity becomes an armed camp of hostility and destruction.
Love is the key. Love is the master key by which the world will recognize the potential within themselves not to destruct the world but to create in the world those agencies of cosmic service and love which are able to mitigate every human condition, to behave in the manner of a panacea to humanity - to free humanity from the dregs of darkness and destructivity which for so long have held sway upon this planetary orb.
Let us now, then, gaze into the cosmic ethers, as we see the approach of a great cosmic white cloud. And behind that cloud, veiled in pure, radiant light, is the thoughtform for this forthcoming year [1971] - a form of great loveliness and beauty, which is the reality of the radiance of every man's consciousness.
We want you, then, to understand that we have chosen as the universal thoughtform for this year the symbol of a great, cosmic golden ring. In the center of this great, cosmic golden ring is held, in the background, the image of a world, or globe.
Superimposed over that, you will find the upper figure in the chart of the Presence, or the causal body of every man [the earth is suspended within the spheres of the causal body] - signifying that the salvation of the planetary body shall also be the transcendent glory and beauty of the I AM Presence in all of its radiant power, as it is recognized by humanity and they understand that through the power of the I AM Presence, they can invoke from God those majestic outpourings referred to as the `latter rain'4 of living loveliness and love, whereby the world can be literally transformed into the newness of the golden age.
For the newness of this cosmic fire, the newness of this great golden ring, signifies the eternal values in time and space, placed there by the hand of God as a tender seed is lowered into the heart of the earth for the manifestation of a beautiful tree or a flowering plant - redundant, then, as some may see it, but actually emanating the transcendent manifestation of eternal principles which will cause the world to be literally dusted with destiny and thus create in their consciousness the understanding that all of heaven has conspired to pour out upon the world the fountain of God's love, the strength of his heart, the will and wisdom and wit to do those things which are necessary -
Not to make a shambles of it and of all conditions manifesting in the world but to transform the world by new plans to educate the young people of the world in a manner in which they have not formerly been educated, bringing them into the strange understanding, at last, that their actions toward one another ought to be the actions of the Prince of Peace,5 who long ago spoke to the world and said, Love one another, for love is the fulfilling of the law.6
Will you recognize with me, as I come to you this night, that this thoughtform is a magnificent outpouring of cosmic strength - the image of the world, the planetary globe held in the background before the heart of the Presence of each individual upon the planetary body? For only thus, by encasing all in the golden circlet of God's holy love and purposes, can we produce in the world that cosmic miracle of light and love for which the hearts of the saints and the holy beings have so long prayed.
I want you to understand that long ago when Mary, the mother of Jesus, appeared to the holy children at Fatima and caused the sun to stand still,7 that this action was a transcendent one, bathing the earth with the intent of Mother Mary as she foresaw the wranglings of the cosmic children upon the planetary body - how they were creating an affliction that would tend ultimately to destroy all of life and all of creation as man now knows it and produce that destructivity envisioned by the hordes of Satan and the powers of darkness.
Let us then realize that man must deliver himself out of the grasp of the claws of darkness, that he must understand in this age that the way of peace and enlightenment is a way of action and strength, that the action and strength of the ascended hosts must be emulated by humanity, that they, one and all, may come at last to that era of understanding where they will put aside the trivial manifestations in their consciousness of belittlement, the manifestations of destructivity toward one another, and this action will in no way denote to humanity a strangeness in the sundering of all the cords of destructivity or in the bringing forth of the radiance of the Christ light into the world as a ubiquitous manifestation of the omnipresence of God.
Will you then recognize that this power of transcendence which is God, which is descending upon the world, must also descend upon all of your actions so that they become imbued with power from on high,8 so that the Holy Spirit and the drippings of cosmic majesty and loveliness, as the flame of a cosmic candle dripping also upon the earth, may forge those plasticities of the Spirit in the mortal consciousness which will create the immortal mind and deliver man out of the domain of the carnal mind and all of its meanderings through the stream of life, which has also prevented him from the manifestation of the Edenic consciousness and the great realization that the power of God is still manifesting in the heaven world?
And from thence, it shall also come to judge the quick and the dead,9 to manifest upon the planetary body as that judgment spoken of by Mary at Fatima so long ago, for which the sun itself in the heavens stood still and expressed the beauty and perfection of that wonder of God - to spin the sun as a top, as a sign and manifestation to mortal men that God was not pleased with the manifestation and the use of Life's opportunities by humanity.
For again and again, they have allowed to slip through their fingers the sands of life. They seem empty and bored by all the manifestations of spirituality, whereas those of us who know and understand the fruits of the Spirit and the fruits of meditation will express to all of you that the beauty of our light can also become the beauty of your light, as you enter into it.
And understand and recognize that for this time and for all time to come, man is at the crossroads of destiny when he must decide whether or not he will choose the great Lord God of Hosts in all of his manifestation of righteousness10 - the true righteousness of God, the true grace of God, the true beauty of God, the true splendor of God that always manifests through this transcendence which I am speaking of. This manifestation of Light, often centered in the pineal gland, in the very center of your forehead, was the great `pranic star doorway'.
Now those who understand the opening of this door will also understand the opening of the door of the heart. They will understand also the opening of the door of destiny into the realm of their own world so that they can take dominion over the earth11 in the God-appointed rounds of each man's manifestation upon the stream of life.
I say to every one of you - great cosmic beings and cosmic masters, all of you who are archangels, angels, and spiritual beings - understand the needs of humanity and bring now the great power of your splendor to rest upon their countenance, that the face of God may also descend upon man and they may become as a little child and thus enter into the kingdom of God.12 This is the hope and the glow-ray which we also have fastened our heart upon.
All of the hierarchy have intended to extend this year a very special assistance to humanity. And they have often decided that they would enter into the assistance of the spirit of every man, whether he would ask or not. For many dwell still in the tents of ignorance, and they do not even understand how the underpinnings are raised; they do not understand how the flaps in the wind are sometimes actually pulling apart at the very seams of man's being.
Let them now understand; for throughout the world there is dispersed abroad a flood of strange literature intended to alienate the mind of the children of God and to alienate the minds of the little children, to cause them such distress as will create and re-create in their consciousness those ideas of the denizens of darkness which will also become, ultimately, the fruit of iniquity and destructivity, manifesting not only as world chaos but as the chaos of the individual mind. Let us then invoke in all a spirit of great reality, the spirit of great passion. For the words have been said of old, "Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool."13
Will you make your hearts, then, the footstool of the cosmic peace of God? Will you determine now, as you have never determined before, to rise in consciousness, to rise and pledge with all your being that you will fulfill the great destiny, directed by the Solar Lords, to produce that majesty for which the human heart hungers in the domain and laboratories of cosmic nature within the forcefield of man's flesh, that at last he may understand that his flesh is but a tent or canopy which covers his spirit - naked except it be charged with the holy radiance of God, the electrical energies of his cosmic peace?
Then by meditation, by decrees, by the realization, the entering in to His splendor, shall all men at last enter in to the understanding that they are brothers underneath the skin, that they are brothers also without, if they will. For all of life can be a harmony and sophistication of the Spirit that represents a maturity that mankind has not hitherto caused to be exemplified upon the stage of life.
I have spoken to you tonight from my heart, and my words to some of you may seem as strange and passingly strange. To others, in their hearts they will find lodging for my words and they will understand and grasp - even though some of my words may not always be understood - they will realize that all of heaven has gathered together to bring to mankind of earth the beauty of our experience.
Will you allow now the peace of our Presence to flow out into the world? Will you stand [audience rises] and radiate the power of our peace out into the world? Will you make your heart a pole of cosmic light? Will you allow the forces of the inner light to dissipate the density of the carnal mind in the forcefield of your own being? Will you express the love of God as it has not been expressed in you before?
For a thought is an act; and when a thought flows, it becomes doubly an act. And when the drama of the cosmos becomes the reality of all mankind upon this planetary body, then you will see an action that you have longed for secretly, in the case of some of you, while others have openly and shamelessly invoked upon this earth a response from the powers of heaven.
I AM Gautama. Long ago I preached at Sarnath. Long ago I expressed to humanity the great wanderings of the Spirit in its outreach for cosmic grace. Now I urge upon you, all of you, as the Lord of the World, to respond to the cosmic hierarchy, to open the great doorway of your heart and see if it can make a pathway to the Grand Teton, if it can make a pathway to God's heart, if it can go behind the veil of the stars until at last it brings to the world the realization of the tiny babe in its maturation - where the tiny babe becomes a Manchild, and the Manchild rules the nations with a rod of iron.14
As a potter's vessel, shall it dash in pieces many,15 and they shall be harmed by the return of their own karma. To others, it will become the rod of Life, the rod of immortality, Aaron's rod which budded.16 It will become the fruit of man's identity. The spinal stalk will be imbued with the radiant energies of our sphere; and upon the forehead of man will appear the single-eyed vision, the green sprout which indicates to all that the Lord of all Creation, the Lord of all Life, desires to come into the heart of every one - the idea of the eternal spring, the eternal leap, the joy as of a young hart reaching for his God.
In the name of our peace, in the name of our eternal love, in the name of our eternal reality, we have spoken to you. The depth of our appeal will be determined by your response - not the reverse. For if we would have our way, all of you would enter in to that knowing which would help humanity in its greatest hour of need.
If you will accept my words, I promise you this great power of peace as an outreach of cosmic love. I promise you the assistance of our sphere. I promise you the fruit of an abundant sowing. I promise you that the world shall know, even in its state of unknowing, that light is light and darkness is darkness, and never the twain shall meet - save the Light enter into the darkness, and the darkness be no more.
Peace through the regenerative power within you!
The clock has struck. The hour is past, but the time is at hand when the timelessness of God shall become the time-fiat of man.
