To Our Gracious Readers, Dedicated to Love's Service the World Around -
To All Who Embrace the Spirit of Non-Condemnation in Morya's Name,
As you know, dear ladies and gentlemen, the various expressions of Life are infinite in their manifestations above and below. Unfortunately for all concerned, all too many of those which manifest in this appearance world are totally unlike their original divine pattern of perfection.
It has been said that those who live in glass houses should throw no stones.1 And yet since so very few unascended beings are wholly without fault or shadow of a discordant nature, do they not all alike live in glass houses and are they not all throwing stones, at least of thought and feeling, when they look disapprovingly upon another whose way of living seems foreign to the observer?
For just a few moments here and now while I have your gracious attention upon me and my words, may I very gently reveal to you the Ascended Masters' feelings concerning all life, especially that which seems so completely bound by unhappy human creation?
The burden and stigma of illegitimacy has fallen upon many a beautiful soul born into this world to those who have not taken the vows of wedlock and who thereby have had called down upon their beings the terrible scorn of a "righteous" society. Because of this, many of you have doubtless known of individuals who were actually ashamed of their own mother or perhaps of both parents.
In the embodiment of Francis Bacon, I was born with this stigma. And there have been those who felt the beloved Jesus of Nazareth to have been improperly born in his last earth life, that is, according to their sense of rightness.2
Now, gracious reader, let me here joyously assure you that no ascended being (lady master or gentleman of heaven's court) will ever point a finger at another with feelings of blame, disapproval, or scorn or ever even indicate to another by tone of voice which makes its hearers cringe that any individual from any expression of life is either lowborn or of a lower state of social equality than anyone else.
Consider the ever-living words spoken concerning our beloved Mother Mary in the Magnificat which say, "He hath put down the mighty from their seats and exalted them of low degree."3
Today there is a great need for more tolerant understanding and appreciation of, as well as sincere gratitude and reverence for, life itself (all of which is God's life, no matter in what form it may be expressing), not only among people in various walks of life but even among our own beloved chelas themselves.
These virtues are particularly necessary to be personally cultivated now by those who offer themselves as "Lighthouse keepers" in this illumining activity of my illustrious and beloved brother El Morya. So I speak to you thus today in the hope that you will not only be interested in my words but that they will inspire you to daily cultivate more and more these Ascended Master virtues of perfection which you so admire in us.
Such a personal cultivation of these virtues will prepare you much more quickly to receive a spiritual visit from myself and others of the ascended host, for thus would you make of your world a much more comfortable place into which we could enter as your divine guest or guests. For surely our chelas should not abide within an aura in which thoughts, feelings, spoken words, and deeds of cruelty, hurt to life, hard and unforgiving feelings are allowed to generate and live.
Of course, all of us in our octave live only for the joy of serving life everywhere and setting it completely and eternally free from every shadow. We love to have you call us by name, for that assures us of your faith in our reality and our willing ability to accomplish that which you know needs to be done for the greater freedom of life.
Be assured that we instantly answer every such call made in earnest sincerity to us in the name and authority of the source of all life, the beloved I AM Presence.
Such calls give us greater freedom to act in your human world of affairs, for we must have your calls as our authority to act here. You see, we have victoriously passed through every human experience, finally obeying the divine command to "Come up higher! Here abide always and go out no more!"
However, such calling into action of our power in supplication or decree is not nearly so efficacious in the drawing of our personal radiation of love into your worlds and those of others whom you wish to help as is the practicing in daily living of the supreme God-qualities of courtliness, gentleness, purity, and forgiving love. This way of life I endeavored to establish among the crowned heads of Europe and their courts some time ago, particularly in the court of France in the days when even after my ascension I worked from my home in Transylvania.
O gracious reader, learn sincerely to reverence the very presence of Life right within your own beating heart, for it is really the living presence of Almighty God within you! This constancy of "practicing the presence of God," as that habit gathers momentum in your world and experience, will soon completely surround and actually seal you within an aura of grace, beauty, protection, wisdom, and the victorious power of Divine Love in all you undertake.
These qualities will saturate all your activities, making your service acceptable to your own God Presence. Such a qualification of your own life, which you may make, will be lovingly stored by that Great God Presence within your causal body, which is the storehouse of the good works of your service of all ages. This abides around your beloved I AM Presence in its octave of expression. And into that octave you shall one day rise when you shall have purified, loved, and served enough. And that Presence will say to you: "It is finished! Come up higher!" Thus is the ascension individually attained.
I am grateful indeed for your gratitude and reverence for my words to you today. They are given to you so lovingly and freely for your comfort, illumination, and peace.
I AM the flame of freedom itself in action now in my Ascended Master estate, and I now offer to you the full-gathered momentum of my lifestream's victorious use of that flame all through the ages.
Call that freedom flame, that violet transmuting flame, into action every day without fail and accept thereby all it can do for you. Add to its power all my feeling of its instantaneous action and full adequacy to fill every human need.
Opportunity is now knocking at the door of your consciousness as I offer to you my victorious momentum of the ages in the use of the freedom flame. I offer it now so freely, so lovingly and hopefully, and remain
This instruction comes to you through the loving courtesy of the Ascended Masters' Darjeeling, India, Council.
Note: Sincere and loving chelas often ask, "If the Ascended Masters are all of God's opulence, as we know they are, and never charge for their instruction, why is it necessary for me to give a love gift to sustain and expand their work? Why do they not supply this money themselves?" This is a good question, but we are sure you will all see the reason when we explain.
Our beloved Serapis Bey gave us the answer to this some time ago, saying, "The cosmic law allows the Ascended Masters to give of their great love, illumination, healing power, etc., to the seeking chela as their gift from their side of Life, but it will not allow the Master to precipitate funds for the dissemination of these blessings in this octave. Since the Great Law of Life demands and holds perfect balance of all energies at all times, in the case of disseminating the Masters' instruction the balance is made by the chela in this octave when he gives of that which he has, just as the Master has first given of his gifts." Do you see? Therefore we know that everyone who benefits by the Ascended Master Light is so willing to give of that which he has, small though it may be, to further the service of God's will.
