With the advent of this year, the Solar Lords and luminaries of heaven indicated marvelous graces to descend from heaven. I tell you now that heaven always keeps its promises. While I would not think this present yearly cycle to be one lacking physical blessings, I am certain that its spiritual treasures are immense and shall expand still further the cause of divine freedom for every lifestream on this beauteous planetary home.
The role of the sacred fire in the drama of unfolding existence and being is paramount, and I am therefore bowing today to the Seven Holy Kumaras, including beloved Sanat Kumara of Venus, asking these Lords of the Flame to call forth more and more of the sacred fire element on behalf of the blessed people of earth.
Now the uninitiated and those whose training in early years during this present embodiment has been strictly along orthodox lines may find it difficult to appreciate or realize the significance of what I declare herein. Do have patience to guard yourself from the baseness of skepticism, fear or doubt, however, for these qualities will strangle the most wonderful expansion of your personal happiness that could ever come to you if you permit them to do so. It is true that many false and discordant voices have sounded forth, uttering half-truths and imitating the words of the illumined; but, blessed ones, if you will only try to enter into the God flame within your own heart and use the blessed reason which heaven has bestowed upon you, it can prove a simple matter to detect that which is spurious and thus unwanted.
Remember that whatever points to the pristine God flame within you as the supreme directing authority in your life is of God, for it directs you not outside of yourself to some remote being or consciousness, but connects you directly with the kingdom of God which is within you and every ascended being!
It is time and high time and half a time that the power of truth should be given to the people of earth, free from error, and the fears that wrest from men the courage needed by spiritual pioneers whose chart and compass are ever built within them. The question some of the followers of Jesus posed to him was "Art thou he that should come or look we for another? (Matt. 11:3). At that time he pointed to the works of God as proof of the Presence of the I AM. Later he declared "I am he" (John 8:28), thus giving all glory to the Mighty I AM God Presence within himself.
To the Parsees the sacred fire is the logical manifestation of God, but to those schooled from birth in other religious concepts, it may require a definite application of thought to realize the nature of God as a "consuming fire" (Deut. 4:24; Heb. 12:29). After all, blessed ones, if God is a consuming fire and man is a manifestation of God made in his image, this quality should be the possession of every man. It must be realized that the "fire core" of every electron is the sun to a nuclear system, and that these miniature solar fires are releasing a stream of divine intelligent energy into all substance - connecting that all of creation with the source of its limitless, radiant energy!
Man must learn to differentiate between the creation of substance and the creation of consciousness. You are individually endowed by your own Mighty I AM Presence with a wonderful consciousness of identity and self-awareness. This inward duality of man and God is an inseparable unity, yet twofold in nature. The twain merge in a wedding of the sacred fire whereby the matter and form become imbued with the fiery intelligence of God and the consciousness of knowing first that I AM, and secondly that I AM God! At first some may be inclined to say I choose to leave these mysteries to God and I, as a human, do not wish to probe a realm in which I am not accustomed or qualified to judge. Beloved ones, know that by committing your being to the keeping of God and through utmost faith you may take dominion over these matters, the conscious understanding of which is your own immortal birthright.
To fail to accept your own responsibility to the divine knowledge of your creator is to be like the unjust steward: it is to place your talents of consciousness in a napkin of confinement to preserve unchanged what you already know about yourself. This attitude can never bring you the unlimited expansion of the Christ-illumined life nor give you the attainment your being requires. If you are waiting for the change called death to overtake you and feel that then in a twinkling you will attain perfection, wisdom and freedom, you are making a mistake of utter gravity. Unless you attain a certain initiatic experience prior to the change called death, you can make little if any progress out of the body and out of contact with the realm in which God placed you in order to develop by contact the powers of Light within your own lifestream. "A city that is set on a gill cannot be hid" (Matt. 5:14) and your Light, the sacred fire element of God within you, must not be hid, but used to expand your talents and opportunity without limit, both now and always!
Remember that the twin tongues of flame which descended at Pentecost were symbolical as well as tangible manifestations of the Spirit of God. The duality of man and God - shining forth as these twin flames - is as real as the heart of creation. It is high time that mankind abandon the conceit which religious dogma affords and perpetuates!
It is a costly experience, blessed ones, to remain cloistered within the musty chambers of hoary doctrine, when the living word of God and the lost chord await sounding within the inner temple of being. The lost word which in reality is I AM holds the secrets of God which are imparted by the alchemy of right use. I trust that the students will make it possible for many to receive these wonderful teachings of the sacred fire and the blessed teaching on alchemy which beloved Saint Germain is releasing in July and through the summer season. When at a later date many of you become proficient in this science, you will be thankful then for the blessed instruction herewith given.
Many students wonder why the healing arts have not been made paramount to the Brotherhood teachings at this time in the outer, although we possess the complete pharmacopoeia of heaven! The reason for our present emphasis on the correct knowledge and use of the law and of the sacred fire is that unless the cause and core of all illness be removed, the last state of a man can be worse than his first state (Matt. 12:45).
The purpose of returning negative karma to its creator is for the interior self-correction by each lifestream of its own mistakes. By making people pause from their daily rounds to think, it sometimes does alter lives for the better. Unless refinement of character be achieved the requirement of the law whereby the whole man is made whole will not be satisfied and the physical healing will afford only a temporary extension of the opportunities of life.
Beloved ones, only in complete freedom (which is the core of the sacred fire) can man find his eternal peace in the all-knowing Mind of God. To meditate when you have some purpose and understanding, can be a blessed experience, but to sit in silence with the door of your consciousness ajar - unless protection and vigilance be maintained - can produce unwanted results. The first and most important act of any man is the internal practice of the honor flame of God which eradicates all deceit from within a man, and reveals to himself the clear purpose of attaining the fullness of that divine plan which already exists at divine levels as the blueprint of his existence, whose architect and archetype is God.
