The following instruction continues our discussion of "riptides" begun last week:
The subtle influence of riptides of human feeling on mankind is underestimated by the conscious minds of the students. When in the tenacious grip of vicious forces, people often think they are the authors of their own "confusions." This ignorance opens the door to more negative and sinister energy which hinders the natural protective action of their own Holy Christ Selves! When individuals are later restored to harmony, the energies of their thoughts and feelings seized upon by the vortices are already spent and, as in the wake of a storm, the havoc of imperfection often persists for centuries! Thus in a moment of indiscretion does mankind sometimes wipe out spiritual accomplishments dearly won.
This loss of precious energy would be wholly unnecessary if individuals would take the time to stand guard and not permit themselves to be used by aught but the blessed power, love and wisdom of the great cosmic light. How can people be the great exemplars they are intended to become unless they are impervious to the onslaught of riptides from the psychic plane.
Now, it is never too late to mend the broken walls of light if the students will only accept that their own guard is one of God-design, God-intent and Ascended Master love. O, how great is the love that stands guard automatically and deflects literally tons of discordant energy from our chelas every day! The blessed law demands, however, that a small portion of this discordant energy - which all men have had a part in creating or sustaining - must at first be divided and apportioned equally to all men for the sake of universal requalification. However, sometimes illumined and dedicated chelas receive a larger share of this simply because their greater understanding and use of the violet transmuting flame enables them to better handle these forces on behalf of their lesser-trained brethren. This activity is ever a voluntary labor of love and each chela should rejoice when this opportunity to serve is given.
One never knows how much constructive good is accomplished when one's calm inner peace remains undisturbed albeit legions of discord rage against the fortress of being. Like sentinels, the mankind of earth must learn the governing of their own energies. This discipline will guard the sacred shrine of man's oneness with God. A citadel which is protected by vigilant love becomes a tower of strength to the chatelain. It is true that our chelas often encounter more problems than those who may be less qualified to handle them, but at inner levels many volunteered to assist our Brotherhood. If, when this energy is directed at you, rebellion occurs in your feeling world, the karmic accountability incurred is greater than average!
Blessed ones, there is a great need to sustain this guard each day and each hour. Tests or problems may be directed your way at any moment for the very reason that you possess the capacity and strength to handle them. Never feel inadequate or helpless or allow yourselves to tremble as you face monsters of human creation, for heaven gives invincible power to men and women dedicated to the constructive use of divine love and light!
There are many different types of riptides - some are creations of anger, fear, violence, hopelessness, desire for palliative and temporary pleasure; frustrations, self-aggrandizement; insanity, confusion, irreverence, hate, derision, gossip, love of money and power, and many other destructive momentums, whose end is never practical or perfect.
The force employed in sustaining these conditions is never divine love. Divine love naturally withdraws the energy by the inner action of the law from every malevolent center. As this process occurs, the energy quotient of the vortex is depleted and these whirling riptides which depended for sustenance on the constant feeding of their foci by a multitude of people the world around are dissipated. The blessed people of earth have continued to hide the Light of God within them under the negative "bushel" of outer personality misqualified with a mask of negative riptides falsely claiming to be their own thoughts and feelings.
I am interested that the students understand that the centripetal (counterclockwise) action is that which dissolves substance or returns life to the universal. This centripetal action has been wrongly used by psychic forces to strip the "seekers" of their own God-given spiritual blessings and thus students are deprived of the fullness of the blessings the Ascended Masters intend them to have. The centrifugal action (clockwise) creates and sustains substance and vibration but it has also been wrongly used to build momentums of thought, feeling and habit which pull mankind down.
The sacred fire when concentrated as a dual focus of Ascended Master light does swing both ways to transmute the centripetal and centrifugal action of all human riptides and discordant energy, thus setting mankind free to manifest God! The sword of blue flame is typified in the generic allegory of the two-edged sword at the "gate of paradise" recorded in the Pentateuch.
The exclusion of wrongly qualified substance from human thought and feeling and from the psychic strata will cut mankind free to outpicture the beauty of heaven daily, in a manner not known since the purity of the first golden age. This liberation from shadows releases into manifestation a body that is all light - for it is light which replaces shadowed substance, and it is light which clarifies, unifies and heals!
When people become sufficiently alert to the causes of their own susceptibility to such malign influences and remove its core, the freedom of the Ascended Masters will swiftly manifest upon earth! No greater blessing can come to mankind than the removal of negative ideas from the hearts and thoughts of all. Thus the Christ light, meeting no human impedia, can flow through without limit and do its perfect work which makes of earth - in her most desert areas - a land flowing with milk and honey and blossoming as the rose. Man is thereby exalted into the perfection of the immaculate concept which magnifies God by loving obedience to his laws carried out in a spirit of holy joy.
The "fountain of youth" can manifest when men no longer nourish discord and use their power of right thought and action to restore, renew and maintain bodies and minds of the vigor and loveliness of an ascended being. In reaching for the perfection of the present Golden Age the students of the Ascended Masters must initiate an unbroken ring of ordered service - a ring-pass-not that daily counteracts the effects and transmutes the causes and cores of every destructive momentum which mankind has ever generated and that remains untransmuted.
The children of the world have been the innocent victims of their elders' shortcomings. The education and training of the young and incoming children is a task to which many must be dedicated in the interest of annulling human error and maintaining permanent God-Peace on earth in good will to man. This is more than an ideal, blessed ones; it is the highest activity of divine love and mercy acting through you and in you for the sake of the earth and its evolutions!
The freedom which can be invoked through dissolving human vortices of hate and wrong feeling is great! Those of you participating daily and all who wish to do so during the seven o'clock evening period can use the enclosed decree to assist the earth and all its people to find greater freedom right now today. Remember that the only power these riptides have is that which mankind has given them! The concentrated decrees of the students absolutely without fail, as the beloved Goddess of Light and myself answer your call, cannot but move the earth closer to her victory.
During the coming year, many important steps will be taken by beloved El Morya to forward the expansion of this activity, its blessings to the students and the ushering in of the age of perfection. Let those who are alert read between the lines. Those who fail to make use of this blessed instruction shall have no one but themselves to blame, for universal love and life march on. It does not wait the zeal of a vanishing zest for the pleasures of earth and a turning to heaven as a last resort. Life calls for the voluntary offering of the best fruits of the earth now ... . young life, young love, divine tenderness so willingly offered, so joyously given, and dedicated so as to never be recalled by the thralldom of human vanity.
We direct your attention now to the image of Christ, the beauteous plan of the Cosmic Christ, to the glory born in an age of light! Banish from the earth by love in action all discordant riptides of human thought and feeling. Magnify the Lord by the pink love ray of illumined obedience to the Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood, whose sons and daughters in the full-orbed radiance of eternal purity must themselves sustain and hold victory for all!
