The bubbles of human vanities are easily shattered even when men desire to sustain them, yet the "pipes of habit" continue to blow what appears an endless stream of bubbles of hypnotic fascination and distraction which turns human attention away from the Light that is its sustainer and source, and keeps a running fever of excitement raging rampant through the strata of human mind and consciousness. When the desire to outpicture Christ consciousness in character is solidified so as to become a firm resolve or determination, all goes well while contemplating the idea, but when the tests of that character are met as the individual's consciousness meets in a head-on clash with other lifestreams and personalities, there is usually a strong pull to revert to the more primitive thoughts and feelings.
Now, when in the radiation of the Ascended Masters, these waves of discord do not seem to have much effect. And when caught up in the beautiful idea of being a Christ, it seems to individuals as if nothing could sway them from the Path. Yet time after time lifestreams have gone down under the negative drag of human emotions, only to be rescued once again by the call of their own God Presence, which ever tries to lift the consciousness into its own realms of peace and harmony.
Hence, the divine strategy must be planned. Outwitting the wiles of human qualities and momentums does not happen by chance. It can be attained by attunement and meditation, and these can be mightily aided and abetted by the study of a divine counterplan based on ascended-master education whose purpose and goal is the deliberate encouragement of all actions and techniques which have been found, through trial and error in the crucibles of spiritual and human studies, to have been efficacious in achieving the given end - in this case, the goal of manifesting the character of Christ to its fullness.
Actually, the character of Christ is the spiritual counterpart of the seamless garment he wore. Made with the purpose of an enfolding covering, its white purity symbolized the inner beauty of his nature, which constantly held a transcendent image of God-perfection of all with whom he came in contact. His character was not developed with the idea of personal entertainment. He derived his happiness from exalting the God in all he contacted. He loved the elements and the forces of Nature; he attuned with the God in all things and thus had dominion over all things, because it is the God consciousness which is centrally omnipotent at the core of every manifestation. The basic structure of every cell of every brick, every stem and bud is the electronic elements of the divine electricities!
To set men free, then, to show them how to find happiness, is the greatest blessing, the greatest goal and the greatest love for life possible. Divine education to this end must be developed within each chela who intends to do and be that which Jesus and other great Ascended Masters are!
Miscellany - or diversion into a multitude of things - is the downfall of mankind; whereas oneness, centrality, universality or God-centeredness is the concentrated love, wisdom and power that educates the whole being of man so as to perceive in the heart of all the miscellaneous things which are in existence - the beauteous radiance of the intelligent electron controlling form so as to manifest diversely for the use of man - or the many. Now comes the right use of form, which is to serve the God-intelligence, the God-power, and the God-love of life in obeying its commands, which can only produce the happiness of perfection always.
Most men are ruled, then, by a lesser character, a pseudo-character, which they and the forces of human thought have molded through millenniums of submission to a finite rule, custom, habit, and rebellious human stubbornness which has only produced sorrow. From this, men must be divinely educated to adorning and adoring the inner man of the heart - the Christ or Light of God whose minute flame embodied in all hearts must expand if they are to be free from human serfdom and stand as the exalted creation of God - a living Christ among men. Developing this character must be both from within out and from without in. God is everywhere and unless he is invoked and called into action, both within and without, the lesser, long-established human control through entrenched habit continues in command.
Those who would begin their divine education, then, will do so first by the determined pursuit of the character of the Christ, which does not merely worship Christ but follows the highest covenant of his heart by imitating him! This is true, educative worship that expands and expands without limit until the whole Christ character in full command declares, "All power in heaven and earth is given unto me" - and it will be absolutely so for you! This is the will, which is also the wisdom, of God for you.
