Devotion and Adoration to God
"A Golden Thread"

     May the light of God enfold each one of you and surround your hearts with an abundance of divine grace which is not moved by human vicissitude but is constant in its application and devotion to its own divinity.

     I AM come tonight in answer to the heart calls of mankind to stimulate within the hearts and minds of those who love the Light an intense action of the spirit of devotion and adoration.

     Throughout the kingdom of nature, the motivating force in elemental life is a spirit of vibrant enthusiasm. This enthusiasm sustains the glorious, rhythmic, beautiful ceremonial dances of the elementals. In various parts of the world, sensitive individuals are able to see these tiny beings as they caper and dance with happiness in various spots in field and forest. All of this glory, this enthusiasm, this sustained balance is outpictured in the kingdom of nature - that virgin purity which is not despoiled by human concepts or vibratory actions.

     I AM come tonight to stimulate in every mother's heart and in every one of the ladies of heaven upon earth (and I hope that the gentlemen will also find a responsive chord to my message) a response of adoration to God.

     I am well aware of the fact that among mankind having a spirit of "dialectical materialism," there is little room for sustained devotion, and it has become old-fashioned, as it were. But I hasten to assure each one of you that the light of God which never fails is dependent within men's hearts on this devotion.

     I do not imply that God depends upon man, but I imply and emphatically state that in order for mankind to have the light of God which never fails blazing forth within them, they are dependent upon a manifestation of adoration and devotion to their Presence. For it is devotion and adoration which strengthen the bond between themselves and that Presence and enlarge the silver cord connecting mankind with their own God Presence, thus permitting not only the sustaining vibration which beats your hearts and the continuation of its flow, but also an increased flow of divine radiance from your Presence down into your world.

     With this increased energy comes increased responsibility. But the ascended masters have - by divine law, by petitions and calls to the great Karmic Board, to beloved Alpha and Omega - secured a fiat whereby, as mankind intensify their devotion and their love for God and their Presence, they will be given a special quality of the second ray of divine illumination. This illumination will be sustained within them according to the measure of their devotion, so that they will be given the understanding from within the flame of their own heart which will enable them to know how to utilize the additional flow of energy.

     This has been granted, and therefore take heart, O mankind. For from this day forward, all of the energy that you draw from your Presence, by invoking the spirit of adoration and love to that Presence, will produce a response amplifying the threefold flame within your heart and a corresponding action of the golden flame of illumination, which will enable you or any of mankind to have the direct knowledge from within as to how to use this precious energy which is to be added unto you as your just portion.

     Blessed ones, I am sure that many of you are aware of the reason why the Great Cosmic Law cut down the flow of God's energy into humans and human creation. It was entirely because of the excesses and abuses of mankind - their wrong use of energy, of thought and of feeling. And therefore, it is now believed that because adoration is such a powerful factor, individuals will once again be able to expand their light with greater rapidity and responsibility. This is all a part of the golden age. This is all a part of the increasing measure of cosmic attention upon the planet Earth.

     I know that in your secret chambers, ladies and gentlemen, when you go within to commune with your God Source, there are times when some of you are somewhat filled with doubt. I do not mean to imply that you are literally filled with it but that you have a portion of doubt occupying the conscious mind. And in a sense, it is almost as though you were filled with it, because you are not able to think positively at that moment.

     And therefore, I hasten to tell you that this doubt must evaporate before the action of the threefold flame as it expands within your heart. And you must come to realize that as you make your application to God - God, who hears and sees and knows all that mankind do, will in turn respond to the calls from your blessed hearts without fail.

     And this action which I have described to you this night (the action of intensifying the illumination flame within you) is very precious. For it means that you will have God's mind intensified within you - God's direction, the power of the ascended masters speaking directly from within you, the music of the spheres acting directly from within your heart.

     It means that many of you, while you will not be able to do as this messenger is doing - make direct contact with the ascended masters and permit them to speak through you - will at least have this type of action in connection with your own Presence, which means that you will be able to hear the voice of your own Presence if you will pour out enough adoration to that Presence so that it may fill the cup of your devotion with enough sustaining love until the Mind of God, the Mind of Christ, the Mind of the ascended masters occupies the place now occupied by fears, doubts, trepidations, and vacillations.

     O blessed ones, pause for a moment and think of the many upon earth who do not know of the ascended masters, who do not know of our love and our efforts on behalf of mankind. Are these any less the beneficiary of our love and radiation? I tell you, no - except they do not have the conscious knowledge and therefore cannot make the diligent application which you are able to make.

     Therefore, as a response to the Great Cosmic Law, I am certain that many of you will desire to give a more than ordinary service to the Light because of the great responsibility which is given you as we bestow upon you tonight this precious gift. Know, also, that this gift is not only given here; it is given wherever there is a focus of ascended-master light and love.

     The power of the ascended masters is universal. And I, Nada, by reason of my heart's love, have cause to express my gratitude to beloved Charity and to others of the ascended masters who enabled me to make my ascension in the light. And I pour out my adoration tonight to my own divinity in humble, adoring gratitude for this precious ascension which has given me freedom from all human distress and the weights of human creation.

     I yearn for the day when you, too, shall wear the robes of freedom and dignity which I wear. I yearn to take my own garments and give each of you a portion of those garments tonight. I would reach down and take my train, which is beautiful pink in color, and ask the invisible angelic hosts to sunder it from my garment and divide it up into many small segments and give it to you in your finer bodies, that you may have the love radiation which I feel and the adoration which I feel tonight for my own Presence.

     And thus, shorn of a part of my own raiment for the sake of sharing my love for heaven, I stand magnifying the love light within my heart and your own. And I call now to Alpha and Omega in the Great Central Sun:

     O Alpha and Omega, thou radiant beings of pure Light, I, Nada, ask you, by the power of the sacred fire, to intensify a cosmic action of love within these thy children and the children of the sacred fire everywhere.

     Let them feel the power of Charity and Charity's radiance this night, as I myself did long ago. And magnify, O Alpha and Omega, within the hearts of these thy children, an intense action of divine love which shall so expand their understanding of that love that they shall never again entertain fear, doubt, or confusion concerning the perfect divine plan of Light and Light's perfection. O I thank thee with my heart's gratitude, Alpha and Omega. I and all the ladies of heaven together give our gratitude to thee, thou Eternal One, and to the Father, the supreme Light, the ineffable God Presence of all universes without end, for all the Mighty I AM Presence is to each lifestream - this power of knowing, this power of being, this power of progressing - until we behold the light of the Infinite shining upon the vast cosmic sea and we know that across that shining sea there is the lotus throne of the Eternal Presence, and we know that the perfume of that Presence is permeating all of mankind's affairs and floods like the light of the stars across vast expanses of the heaven, causing the universe to be held together by the cohesive power of God's love!

     O Infinite One, conscious, then, of thy splendor, we behold thee situated within the beating heart of the most humble among God's children. And we see thee - gloria in excelsis Deo! We see the glory of God in the highest, magnified within the hearts of these humble individuals who seek to render a transcendent service of prayer and adoration to God not only here, but throughout the various religious activities of the world.

     And we call for their divine illumination that they may come into a spirit of perfect unity not only within themselves, but within the heart of all in creation until the sense of divine unity not only penetrates the atoms of each individual's physical form, but expands within his feeling world, his mind, and his memory until there is no room within the inn of his being for aught except thy perfection to manifest!

     I AM Nada, your cosmic sister who loves you - O people of the earth and Children of the Light in Boston! - with a transcendent love. I would like to point out the progress of the cosmic clock. As your physical watches are ticking off the hours and guiding you, O mankind, to tell you that it is time for you to eat, time for you to sleep, time for you to serve and to love, so I tell you, the Creator's clock, the divine schedule of mankind's progress, has long chimed the hour for mankind's perfection - and that day is here. And the time has passed when mankind can afford to sleep.

     You will recall how the apostles who walked with beloved Jesus over the dusty roads of Palestine observed the miracles performed by his hand. They observed him raise Lazarus from the dead;1 they observed him cast out the dumb spirits and rebuke the spirits of imperfection from mankind;2 they saw him cleanse the lepers.3 And yet, when the hour came that materialism and its grossness came out against him with swords and staves and spears, those individuals forsook him and fled.4 And when he asked them to watch and pray with him in the Garden of Gethsemane, those individuals who had accompanied him upon his mission found that they were unable to remain awake, although he spoke unto them and rebuked them saying, "Could ye not watch with me one hour?"5

     As I AM the Chohan of the Sixth Ray, succeeding beloved Jesus in that office, I would like to point out that the cosmic clock indicates to mankind the seriousness of the voice of opportunity. Beloved Portia joins me this night in directing her energies into this room and sanctuary and forcefield, to exalt you and to exhort you to accept with greater measure the opportunity which life affords you to assist mankind, your Presence, the ascended masters, and the forces of light in overcoming the grossness of human ignorance.

     Activities of light such as The Summit Lighthouse are created, sustained, and blessed by us as an impersonal vehicle through which mankind can band together and express their adoration to God and can hear the voices of the ascended masters speaking to the present day and exhorting mankind to obedience to the Great Cosmic Law of Love.

     Mankind today enjoy hearing a beautiful orchestra and sing in adoration to the Spirit of Music. Let them listen, then, as the Master of Divine Love speaks to them and holds the baton in his hand. Let them listen to our Lord Maitreya as he directs to them the power and pressure of his great cosmic love.

     I, Nada, thank you this night for your attention. And I call to you and exhort you to diligence, to a sustained spirit of obedience, to an acknowledgment of the victory of your Presence as superior, and - above all human ideas to the contrary - as the Spirit that is able to be a victorious overcoming for each lifestream, that shall enable you to overcome sickness, enable you to overcome sin, enable you to rise above death and to cut the cords that bind you to the physical octave until you ascend in divine majesty into the selfsame realm of Light's perfection in which I abide.

     I, Nada, thank you. I bless you. I sustain my vibration for twenty-four hours from my speaking within this forcefield of this sanctuary. And I bless the people of the entire earth with a transcendent ray of ruby and gold - the ministration ray of ordered service, devotion, love, strength for God. And I turn you over to the Master to hear a few words in closing from Lord Maitreya.

     Thank you, and good evening.

9.1  Lord Maitreya

     O benign ones, thou who art chosen from the beginning to be as the Only Begotten of the Father, I AM come tonight into your forcefield to bring to you a sense of your soul's unfolding as does a flower.

     The bud of your own God Self is waiting to unfold. And you are expected to respond to the vibratory action of this Christ mantle, which from within out, seeks to array you in immortal garments of strength, power, purity, adoration and complete realization that God is All and in all.

     With a sense of the completeness of divinity, I wish to tell you tonight that there is a golden thread woven through every circumstance of your lives which is not always apparent because it is underwoven between other threads and it seems to disappear for a moment from your view. But nevertheless, that golden thread of perfection is ever present with each of you, and it assists you in finding - if you will pursue it - the way back Home, the way back to the victory, the glory, the purity, and the power of the Cosmic Christ and of the Buddha.

     You, blessed ones, seated upon the lotus throne of your own heart, may unfold your latent divinity with all of the safety of a Buddha and of a Christ. The opportunity is yours. No man can take from you this crown.6 No one can defraud you of this opportunity except yourselves - by feeling that you are unworthy, by feeling that you are unwilling, by feeling that you are not chosen. And yet, I, Lord Maitreya, have assured you in full faith that each of you and all of mankind were chosen to express the fullness of God upon earth!

     Take, then, this opportunity. Consider it most precious. And so the Spirit of God shall so exalt you as to bring you into our presence at night, while your physical form sleeps, and confer upon you those cosmic initiations which will raise you and set you apart from mankind as a peer in heaven's eternal courts.

     Oh, how mankind love and adore, even to this hour, titles and nobility. And yet I tell you, of a truth, the greatest titles and nobility of all are waiting to be conferred by heaven itself upon mankind. And when they are given and bestowed by God, no man can part you or sunder you from them, for they are your eternal portion and inheritance.

     Now, O cosmic fire, blaze thou within these children! Intensify within them the mantle of Life's perfection, the unfolding radiance of their purity and of their budding divinity.

     Let this light so expand within the forcefield of their being that they shall from this night on be able to give to all they meet a greater than ordinary love - the love of God without limit, the love of the ascended masters, the example of the sacred fire in physical manifestation!

     I thank you and bid you good evening.

Invocation by the Messenger Mark L. Prophet preceding the dictation of Lord Maitreya
September 18, 1960, published as number one in the current series:

     Thou adorable God Presence, thou great magnificent seed of eternal fire planted in our hearts to expand its radiance into our lives, we bow in grateful adoration to thee for thy presence in the universe and in ourselves, sustaining us every moment of every hour.

     We invoke the presence here of our beloved Saint Germain, of our beloved Lord Morya El, of all the chohans of the rays, the ladies of heaven, the angelic hosts, the great Karmic Board, the magnificent Goddess of Liberty, and of all who have to do with the release of the sacred fire. And we ask that they surround each one of us with their great love which erases automatically all of our thoughts that are not in correspondence with the eternal purposes.

     We ask thee, O eternal Father, thou great I AM Presence, that thou make of our hearts and consciousness an ever-living chalice that we may receive the benefit of the radiance of our own dear Maitreya as he comes to us and speaks his heart and his love and his compassion to us.
