My Dear Brothers and Sisters of the Cosmic Light -
In concluding the first set of the Corona Class Lessons, I would speak to you who aspire to be corona rays around the sun of divine wisdom about inconstancy - hardly a quality of the sun!
Constant requests reach the Darjeeling Council from students and others telling us from their hearts of a love lost (a fleeting ecstasy which has not returned or which is sensed only seldom), of an affection which seems to have played itself out, and how they deplore the inconstant side of their nature.
Now, beloved ones, that is just what it is: the inconstant side of their nature - the human side, where God's magnificent light flows through the imperfect human prism, revealing its sometimes mottled distortions.
We answer these requests with the word to the wise that the perfecting of the instruments of their four lower bodies would permit, as it has for us, an unimpeded flow of God-purity and eternal happiness into their worlds - magnified by the prism of the Christ Mind. This is why every earnest student seeking the source of purity's fount must make correction on those lower bodies - vessels of thought and feeling, action and recorded memory.
You will recall that the early Christian teachings declare that salvation is a gift of God, "not of works, lest any man should boast."1 Yet the statements of James are also clear: "Faith [believing in the promise of the divine gift] without works is dead."2
When the four lower bodies of man - physical, etheric (i.e., memory), mental, and emotional - are brought into a state of harmony by determined effort and sheer constancy of will, the divine service of the mercies and graces of God can flow naturally into one's world to break up patterns of human domination - old habits of thought and feeling which so frustrate the flowering spiritual aspirations of God-seekers.
This clearance will alleviate a great deal of distress in the world of the unascended chela, giving him a lot less to handle, notwithstanding that opposition which he may encounter from those who feel the need to challenge him, as they did beloved Jesus and other teachers of righteousness in the past.
The magnificent physical sun is surrounded by powerful emanations of solar energy, streaming rays of light's victory which warm and revivify Nature. Now, those who are able to comprehend the mystery of solar bodies and of the spiritual Sun behind the sun understand that this center of the solar system is the home of beloved Helios and Vesta, twin flames who are the God-parents of this planetary chain. Their spiritual fire, as well as the display of physical power, manifests as the constant corona and perpetual outpouring of light, calling each Easter season for the resurrection of all Life on earth.
In a larger sense, this is the high calling of the Corona Class: to call the Children of the Sun to the resurrection in God's name, I AM, teaching them how to tap the spiritual light and radiance of their own God Presence and threefold flame as well as the beautiful flowers of their own divine memory, their divine identity, and their soul (solar) union with all that truly lives.
How sad, dear hearts, that some do not know that we, the Ascended Masters, are more alive, more charged and infilled with the life-energy of the Great Central Sun than any unascended being. We truly live in the fullness of that Life which is undiluted God, for we have transmuted our entire human creation. Therefore our capacity to receive and retain Light's limitless energy is greater in the ascended state than yours is in the less-accelerated earthly state.
What's more, until your four lower bodies are aligned and attuned with the inner blueprint, healed of all schism within their members, and the tears in their 'skins' carefully mended, you are still functioning with leaky vessels, not able to hold the available energy, therefore unable to store energy for a concentrated release of power. Then, too, you do not have as many coils (of spiritual fire) wound round the pole of being as we do.
These are only some of the reasons why in the unascended state the life/consciousness/ energy you experience is not the same as ours. Thus your ability to sustain the momentum of the Great Central Sun Magnet is also not as expanded as our own.
Moreover, our capacity to communicate eternal Life is also greater than your own, and you feel the vibration of our transfer of love and illumination by the extraordinary power available to us. In our presence you experience the heightened sense of our reality, as well as your own, through our ability to sustain in you our energy level as you place your attention on the spoken and written word of our release.
Your attention is the lever that connects your circuit to ours. So long as your attention is harmoniously sustained, you enjoy the closed circuit of oneness in Ascended Master love which we maintain twenty-four hours a day for and with our chelas.
This will enable you to understand why one dear chela told our Messenger, "These words of Jesus and Kuthumi spoken today make me feel the presence of the beloved Master even more than reading the holy scriptures of the past. I feel the Master is speaking directly to me!"
This is true, dear hearts - we are! Did not Jesus himself foretell this, saying, "If you believe in the Christ in me, placing therefore your attention on me, you will do greater works even than I did because I go to my Father"?3
The Master opens the scriptures:4 "As my light/energy/consciousness is accelerated today through my oneness with the Father in heaven, I am able to transmit to you through your loving tie to me greater power than when I was in the unascended state. Inasmuch as you also have access to the Holy Christ Self, as I did two thousand years ago, our combined effort can and shall produce through you greater works than were possible in the previous Piscean dispensation."
Try to realize therefore the close, direct contact you have with us through our words. In God's love and name, realize, know, and understand that no one in this endeavor is concerned with aught else than bringing our words and radiance to all mankind for their upliftment and resurgent glory to the joy of the eternal Cause.
This is, in a larger sense, Wisdom's cosmic university for all Life upon this planet - for all those willing to be molded into that perfect prism (which all men are at inner levels) for the projection of divine light rays through that eternally pure pattern of the Creator's original intent and plan.
It matters not that you have made mistakes in the past. This is quite common on earth today. What really counts is that you are willing to become the purity of your own Godly nature. As you sustain this God nature, being "good-natured" with the constancy of a saint, meeting every trial and temptation with equanimity of heart, the love and pristine wholeness of your own I AM life-currents descending through your crystal cord will pass through the matrix of your Godly nature, thus multiplying the hands and feet of each Master (Chohan) of the Seven Rays of cosmic light.
Each lifestream vibrates principally with one of the seven color rays - the blue, yellow, pink (rose), white, green, purple (ruby) and gold, or violet - expanding the qualities of the Godhead respectively as(1) the will of God,(2) the wisdom of God,(3) the love of God,(4) the purity of God,(5) the truth of God,(6) the devotion (service) of God, and(7) the freedom (alchemy/transmutation/forgiveness) of God. By spiritual attainment, some people do embody several of the rays or even the full complement.
I am concerned with the number of individuals who do want to intensify their love for God, who deplore their lack of progress on the Path, and who are not smug with a false sense of security regarding their spiritual life. It is a good sign if they do not sink into this sense but realize that wherever they are, God wants to raise them up.
In that magnificent song "The Lost Chord"5 we find expressed the feeling shared by many that some splendid ecstasy they once knew has passed them by or been lost. This is not so. It is they who have passed it by, choosing instead to externalize manifestations other than the divine graces; and in so doing, they may have in fact lost the formula for God-happiness.
Now, therefore, they must become even more diligent, breaking down Jericho-like walls they have built which have become self-made, self-entombing sepulchres. They must replace human trivia with good works in the Master's name, and backbiting with constructive conversation in his honor. These will provide them with true spiritual treasure6 - pearls of great price!7
Then their attunement with us, which may come and go like an ethereal melody so easily drowned in human discord, will become stronger by far than any exterior forces because they will have verily contacted their own God Self, the I AM Presence, and those of us who are World Teachers. This is how you know when your victory is at the door - when unbroken constancy of attunement shows the pure life-wave of the Father in permanent manifestation.
Faint heart never won fair victory.8 Remember, the Life (God-force) in you is omnipotent. Only Life can declare, "I AM." Only that Life in beloved Mother Mary could crown her the handmaid9 of the LORD.10 Only that Life in Jesus could move from Bethlehem to Golgotha through countless Gethsemanes to the eternal victory of the resurrection and ascension in the Light. That Life is your victory if you will accept it!
God is the eternal Father of all that is good. This is the message of a victorious Easter which ought to remain with you long after the season is past as a perennial inspiration from God for all the years to come. So it was intended. God in you declares, "I AM" - and this Life can never cease to be! This is your hope and eternal substance. This is your faith become a tangible reality.
As a miner stakes his claim, you must plead for the power of the coronary light to flow from the heart of God into your world, making you a postulant for admission to the higher initiations of the Great White Brotherhood. May they be victoriously passed! May you go that way, even as we have. It is not enough to stake a claim to divine graces and gifts; such claims must be developed diligently, as a miner goes after his ore.
I know of and have observed down through the Christian centuries countless saints of holy orders - including those in Christian, Tibetan, and even so-called heathen monasteries - who became disciples of Love's wisdom. Many of these labored with the weight of enormous karma, under abbots and superiors who could have been much more kind. Scarcely a word of approval did they hear in a lifetime until the Master's blessed voice said, "Well done." Yet, they were constant.
You who enjoy the freedom of the outer world and belong not to holy orders - what opportunity is yours to overcome temptation and to be really strong for right and God! How you should welcome the opportunity, as have many disciples in the past who never made recorded history, remaining unknown, unhonored, and unsung.
Nada, our beloved sister (Chohan of the Sixth Ray and member of the Karmic Board), was one of these until her ascension. In a number of embodiments, she chose to push others forward, while remaining the wellspring of divine invocation to call forth virtue in her family members and friends - which they scarce realized was transferred to them through her pure and loving heart. And in the meditation of her spirit upon the ancient maxim of the ascending ones, "He must increase but I must decrease,"11 she won - she won forevermore!
Speaking of divine mysteries and holy wisdom, it is difficult for mankind to realize that greater wisdom by far than was possessed by Einstein is present in a sunbeam. Many ask for great expansion of their light and wisdom beyond the offering we are currently giving or have given.
The meaning of "a little child shall lead them"12 and "except ye become as a little child, ye shall in no wise [with no wisdom] enter in"13 completely escapes them. They ask to sit at the Master's feet, although they have passed by the wisdom he has already given them and they continue today to live in human shadow. They quarrel at trifles when Life (as God) cries out to end discord, and crisis looms ominously all over the planet. Yet the solution is simple!
As children, some of them sang sweetly, "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam to shine for him each day."14 They knew more the meaning then than now, for their immature gleanings remain unappropriated, unused, unapplied, and sometimes completely forgotten.
I shall now trace in light, with my own consciousness blending as one with the Ascended Master Jesus Christ's own light, an affirmation, or decree, for you:
I AM a created ray from the very heart of God. I AM shining each day with the lifting, living light of resurrection's eternal flame, awakening my divine memory to the infinite wisdom in a sunbeam, a ray-o-light within me, within all God's children!
I glory in Light's apparent simplicity, knowing that therein lies locked the mightiest power, most profound wisdom, and greatest love of eternity. My own I AM Presence ever unlocks for me this wisdom-balanced power in daily manifestation of all the ascended Jesus Christ love, beauty, grace, and perfection now made manifest.
In childlike humility, I sit at the feet of the gracious Ascended Masters until, sweetly crowned by them, I AM ever the sunbeam-ray which shines for them each day!
Pax in te! Sicut parvulus in gremio matris suae, ita in me est anima mea. Pax vobiscum!
Peace be within you! As a little child on the lap of its mother, so is my soul within me. Peace be with you! Peace be with you!
In the name of the ascended Jesus Christ, to the glory of the Cosmic All-Christ!
