The radiance of God - which is every man's portion, whether he is conscious of it or not - is a divine gift whose energy, composed of eternal substance, ought to be husbanded with sincerity and distributed with wisdom so as to bring forth the beauty of all ages and eternity itself into the present moment of time as a lovely flow of wisdom and God-dexterity which, directing the conscious mind, the subconscious control factors, and the choice or desire mind of each lifestream, will sculptor in living energy the dominant beauty of the Holy Christ character!
The students of the manifold religions of the world - in their individual responses to the divine voice calling within their own hearts - have made an attempt to develop the heavenly attributes in their own lives only to find that their "spirit of competition" in defense of their own particular ideology has intruded a discordant note of such proportions as to malign the entire image and permeate their feeling worlds with such sinister outpourings of hatred and projected discord as to confuse the youth of the world and thus strike a blow against the real God-ideals of life, which contain the best hope of mankind.
The character of the Christ is the sometimes moot point of study on which men must concentrate, recognizing that the effects of the historical Jesus and other great masters are of little importance so far as they personally are concerned unless they do succeed in bringing into their own worlds, minds and affairs the God-powers which the great masters have always possessed yet have not always displayed to the eyes of the world. Confusion in religion is but a reflection of the distorted image composed of minute parts of the inflowing knowledge which men consciously retain but seldom assimilate and draw from either one or many diverse sources - which, although often sincere, are in themselves either incomplete or suffering from error in some of their basic or secondary ideas about God and the universal law. Confusion, then, symbolizes incompleteness or inaccuracy and should spur the sincere to ever new heights!
Clarification or the clearing up of these whole matters would be easy enough if men would have faith in the Ascended Masters and could sit directly at our feet and receive the instruction we elect to give to those who do. Purposefully, a very orderly program has been set up by the Darjeeling and Indian Councils of the Great White Brotherhood for sequential release through the Pearls of Wisdom of The Summit Lighthouse. The goal of the Ascended Masters' councils is the promotion of greater understanding among the various religions of the world, so as to prepare the way for the desired unity in understanding which must enfold the world in the golden age. In that connection El Morya has inspired upon one of his devotees the creation of a Temple of Understanding to be built in Washington, D.C., the capital city of the United States, as a forerunner temple to the magnificent Temple of Victory which is to be so masterfully raised in the physical world from the Temple of Victory in the etheric realms at a later date, when certain steps now lacking are taken and the lovely forerunner Temple of Understanding is at last a reality.
Mankind must recall, however, the words of the great Master Jesus concerning the temple of his own consciousness, "Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up" (John 2:19). The perfect body temple is representative of the focusing either consciously or unconsciously of accumulated divine energies in the realm of human density. The mental, emotional and memory worlds of man ought also to be considered as temples and therefore ought to be swept clean and free from all human debris of accumulated effluvia, which can never produce perfection.
Parents who are able to effectively control the "intake" of their child's mind can avoid terrific hardship later in life and, by consciously selecting the good and the beautiful as a daily diet for the child, mold a character more readily adaptable to Christ consciousness in this very day.
The lessons life teaches need not fall unfruitfully upon the one of more advanced experience in each embodiment - for, with the Mighty I AM Presence, each day is expanded to the dimensions of a thousand years and each thousand years contracted to the comfortable span of one perfect day!
I am, therefore, at the request of the Darjeeling Council and the Brotherhood at the Royal Teton Retreat so mightily interested in expanding the divine cup which dwells in America's heart so that all the world may drink therefrom, preparing this - my first release in the Pearls - to call to the attention of the student body everywhere and all men of good will from every faith, creed and clime the wonderful opportunity available to all who will consciously desire the expression of the character of Christ in either the swaddling garments of "first understandings" or the more mature use of the radiance where the manchild in manifestation is the healing uplifting manifestation of Christ in character and also Christ in action!
I AM sealing all who will accept it in the Flame of Divine Wisdom
