To Our Gracious Readers Dedicated to Love's Service the World Around -
Our Beloved Ascended Master Kuthumi speaks:
Beloved God-Free Friends - "Lord make me an instrument of Thy Peace" - so I petitioned long ago when embodied as Saint Francis of Assisi, the friend of the birds, earth, sky, and all that is!
It is unfortunate but true that in the many recorded writings which endure to the present day on the pages of your earth's many books are numerous conflicting statements of both a religious and secular nature. Since the query of Pilate "What is truth?" (which stood before him in physical form in the incarnation of beloved Jesus) men have continued to seek for more light and understanding, hoping in the midst of confusion that they might find some key which would lead them to a more conscious unity and greater amicability. Jesus wisely declared "If the light (of wisdom in this case) which is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness"! If, blessed seekers after wisdom, you care to examine this one passage you can by stretching the mind possibly observe at least two different meanings here - one seeming to imply that if your wisdom be error it will ensnare you in greater error; another meaning appears a possible eulogy of light itself, declaring that is the truth or light of wisdom in your mind be considered error or shadow (because it is really light and cannot ever be anything else) it is great even though encased in humanly misqualified but temporal shadow! The propensity of men to condemn other unascended beings simply because of a variation of scriptural interpretation or disagreement concerning a given meaning is a weakness of first magnitude usually less desirable by far than even an error of interpretation would be! Better love move where truth mingles with error than where a knowledge of the Law operates without love and compassion. "Lord make me an instrument of Thy Peace" - to gently lead the many factions of thy children to that peace where they can sit down together and harmonize their many common blessings and agreements. As they learn to purify their good intentions with grateful hearts - leaving judgment and justice to "God the Mighty I AM Presence" and the Karmic Board (who were appointed by reason of wisdom and experience to serve the Great Cosmic Law) unity will come and true wisdom be made known through loving cooperation.
Thus will the various unascended endeavors of the Great White Lodge be able to function in more complete harmony and efficacy, externalizing more and more light to direct the race of mankind to their immortal destiny - the peace God intends for this world of infinite love!
Surely you know that a dazzling light of complete or absolute maximum intensity would lack contrast, and thus be formless and without variation. Hence God's obedient light substance was endowed with specific charges of infinite intelligence to hold and magnetize a fixed vibratory rate which would control its manifest expression of size, form, color or whatever characteristics it seeks to express. The colors in a beautiful painting or in nature itself from white (which is a blend of all colors) down through the whole range of shade (of the light) from gray tones to the brighter colors of the rainbow compose an expansive spectrum - a cornucopia of enchanting variety! What would life mean without the great blessing of varying expressions?
Speaking of variety, I am gazing for a moment upon the lengthy historical tapestry of this earth. Among its early records is the story of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, symbolizing the potential inversion of divine perfection by mankind. The dangers of permitting the mind to indulge in such inversion (which is shadow) were pointed out as forbidden fruit and so it is still! The statement, "There is nothing but God acting here" is synonymous with "God's in his heaven, all it right with the world" ... and so should it be, but through inversion of truth error is born and the shadows of discord then cover the simple joy of living. The need men feel to classify persons, places, conditions or things as good or evil is nothing but human nonsense as every Ascended Master knows.
You know life is good (God)! The love cosmos is your Father's house. The gentle rain, the dew, the blessed earth and the fruits thereof; the air you breath, the waters with which you bathe to purify the outer form - and which you drink to purify the inner parts of that physical form; the fire of your heart which speeds life through that form; the fire which warms your food and homes, blessing you with abounding inspiration to love one another even as God loves you - all these are life - are good - are God.
O teach men, teach Christ's little ones that truth! Yes, all truth! Not for conflict - there has been enough of that - show them that evil does not exist except as e(veil) which covers the shining face of the light! Behold God (Good) everywhere and be immortal - I AM the Tree of Life, the formless one ever projecting light rays into the form in accordance with the blueprint or pattern in my own spirit of cosmic fire!
The purpose and the plan are simple in the one - complexity is born in its outpicturing through the many, but the confusion is at rest or peace when the attention is stilled or centered on the Presence of God I AM in you! Again I say, "Lord make me an instrument of Thy Cosmic Peace!" Restore to men the vision of life's daily loveliness - show them the true worth of living! As dear Morya has said so often - "The past is prologue"! "Where there is no vision the people perish", declare the Prophet of old, and right now today you who would without fail be friends and chelas of the Ascended Masters - remember to hold the vision of life's loveliness and be a true friend to life as you practice in the grand art of molding and fashioning a man - you!
Behold the goodness, the divine potential in you, and seek the wisdom to draw and focus that marvelous life plan which your own Presence holds for your lifestream - which perfection is all around you waiting manifestation. You can, as many of the saints have done, focus this flame of divinity close about you so that wherever you move it is the vitality of the living Christ in action! O, how your Presence longs to bestow that grace upon you! You will never be deceived then by those who seek to spread discord while claiming kinship with the Ascended Masters. In the name of divine wisdom when will people learn to love? Love rejoices to hear, see and feel good everywhere - hold fast to that!
Only words of kindness and love that can help men win their victory and their own ascension ought to be spoken. The power of God is unfailing in its raising purifying action to set men free. The wisdom that always knows the right thing to do and the love that understands without condemnation when human beings fail or fall short of the mark is of God. Remember as each one of you sincerely direct your own kingdoms in righteousness that I AM the power of contrast but never of shadow - for the light ever shines through. The light of your own I AM Presence will carry you to your eternal victory. This is holy wisdom with which gentle spirit I enfold you -

O day of holy gladness
When I AM guiding youth
Who humbly lean upon the staff
Of life's eternal truth.
The hope that lives in everyone
Is like a sunbeam from the sun
The truth that nevermore shall fail
Is like the Sacramental Grail!
Let all men drink the cup of life
And finding freedom from the strife
Lift grateful hearts to God once more
And gently knock on heaven's door!
