Beloved Who Would Approach the Mount of Transfiguration with Him -
Ascended Master words are cups of light indeed - of this you may be certain. Beloved ones, our Pearls of Wisdom on this vital subject, transfiguration, have not been as long as usual. This is for a reason. We are more interested in your getting the feeling of what this blessing will mean to you personally and to those fortunate enough to be associated with you when you have this experience (which automatically attunes you more completely with God) than we are in your intellectual conception thereof.
We realize that some men and women who read these words may not fully understand the scriptures on these sacred subjects or even the purposes of God, due to the unfortunate effect of early training in this lifetime. Then, too, bitter lessons learned in the schoolrooms of life have left their scars upon their natures.
Also, the truths of heaven have grown dim within their soul memory, whispering in syllables that seem forgotten symbols to the outer consciousness. Yet they are so rich in meaning to the immortal consciousness of the Holy Spirit who feeds the inner man1 with the true manna (spiritual bread) of God that expands all that is of God within the soul.
Blessed ones, to have our guidance may not seem important to those who like to feel that they are a law unto themselves (and they usually are). But you who have truly utilized the knowledge we have conveyed have almost always found it possible to avoid pitfalls and to make a more rapid as well as a safe progress in the perfections and wonders of the Divine. Not the least of man's gifts is wisdom. Solomon sought it above all and received in addition all the treasures of earth.2
Following from afar in admiration of the Christ and the Ascended Masters may be interesting and informative, but to practice the laws of God as we did and to attain to a practical demonstration of our spiritual techniques is the surest path to victory and freedom - not only for the individual but for the entire planet!
Those who wish to continue to think in the thoughtforms of children may do so; those who are not content with such a gait are the more energetic builders who rank among the constructive people of every age. These come into the vanguard of divine experiences and become either potential candidates for the ascension at the close of this embodiment or future saints and sages to show the way back Home to other seekers everywhere, who are also God's children.
To change, then, from the limitations of human thought and feeling and to unite with your own God Presence before your ascension is to contact the Light that initiated all creation, both material and spiritual. It is to provide untrammeled avenues of thought to the radiance of God and to deny the waves of discordant energy entry into your feeling world. It is to transform this energy by the violet flame's transmutation, charging it with such a magnitude of God's light, love, and power that it shall never again be requalified with human conditions or limitations.
This is a permanent, wholly constructive initiation which, once experienced, brings new understanding to the scriptural passage referring to Jesus' garments during the transfiguration, "white as snow, whiter than any fuller could white them."3 The transfiguration is a living gift to each man and woman so honored, so immaculately clothed by God in the white light!
Together, blessed Jesus and I await your externalization of this gift. May the excellence of the Light and the Power be yours, our pupils who shall soon be, by your example, qualified instructors of the Christian mysteries.
I AM your progressive attainment in the unfailing Light -
