The respect mankind claim for truth far exceeds the ability they have expressed to manifest it. The admittance of basic and simple ideas into the consciousness when they are based alone on obvious God truth is extremely vitalizing to the "spirit" of truth! The entertaining of thoughts of conflict and doubt is likewise debilitating to the individual holding such negative concepts.
The fact that all truth is God connects the realities of the spirit with the consciousness of man through illumination's flame. The fact that ideas are sometimes conflicting stems from the individual's own misinterpretations rather than the statements and laws proffered to mankind by the great Cosmic Beings and Ascended Masters. Enjoy the sunshine, love the elements (earth, air, water and fire), feel attuned with Nature and keep harmonious with as much of life as possible. This is so much more important than merely embracing a dogma. Much of mankind's distress comes from the wish to feel important.
Now, in an egocentric way so many individuals do embrace a dogma in order that they may be considered the sponsors and dispensers of salvation to others, thus giving themselves a special importance in the universe. If feelings of pride were profitable to them personally, or to us of the ascended host, we would not only condone but encourage it. However, when its dilatory effects create so much unhappiness, we can do no less than decry it and advise the spiritual aspirant to hold humble feelings and simple God-concepts of love and purity, especially at the beginning of the Path, and always return to these simple concepts whenever the "water" appears too deep to safely escape should a sudden "cramp" of conflict arise. Truth exists to heal and is best acquired through absorption of the active principle in everyday affairs.
This does not mean an abandoning of the search, but a postponement occasionally while the individual takes stock of talents and of self, analyzes situations and plans for a brighter future, which is always more light. In this connection, I cannot emphasize enough the need for our chelas to call forth and hold the vision of intense cosmic light around their mind, world and affairs. Nothing is so productive of truth as light. Finding God, one finds truth. Finding conflict, one can be easily detoured and not know it!
The conscious cultivation of harmony, the sustaining of divine radiance, is never an accident. To understand truth you must become truth through living in the radiance of whatever measure of purity God has given to you. Expanding it further by conscious effort you will find at last a "thinning of the veil" and eventually the peaceful valley will prove to be no mirage, for you will have entered into the Shangri-La or world of divine perfection which the Father is!
This is heaven and heaven is truth! The earth is holy and wholly God's, but its taking on of man's shadows has given the false coloring of discord even to Nature here. Every day the beauty of God is revealed to some soul with the command "tell no man" - for the heavens themselves are a silent witness of glory. How fortunate are they who continue the search - dauntless and unafraid, with full faith. These, like rugged mountaineers, shall attain the heights from which the majestic view unrolls its scroll like a golden screen upon whose surface are traced, by the finger of God, truth!
This instruction comes to you through the loving courtesy of the Ascended Masters' Darjeeling, India, Council of God's will, of which all the ascended host are members.
