The recent words of My Son, Jesus, released in such a flow of God's Immortal Love, have made, I know, a profound impression upon many so fortunate as to have received them. Yet, I knew each onslaught of human viciousness as it was directed against Him! In My own Heart, as if it were happening unto Me, I felt each straining of His Being against all that was not the Purity and Perfection of the God Mind.
It is difficult for the uninformed who are somewhat ignorant in the depths of spiritual Truth, although they may have been well versed in ordinary theological and religious concepts, to understand the fullness of all the events in Beloved Jesus' life. Initiation, as a Divine Science of spiritual unfoldment, is not correctly understood by many whose knowledge has been shaped by miniature gleanings from many sources, some presenting unadulterated truth, some partial truth, and others teaching warped concepts bearing no relation to first-hand experience. The spiritual hunger of many causes them to grasp at straws, and so, even spoiled meal is eaten to assuage the pangs of a spiritual famine that is still far too great upon Earth.
It is never a question of attributing malintent to the various sources of truth, Beloved Ones, for only the few deliberately add unto the things which are written in the Book of Life and Truth, but many do heed the voices of immaturity and surrender to a cloud of unknowing, ambiguity, and the "way that seemeth right unto a man"! (Prov. 14:12) For this reason I AM advocating, together with Beloved Jesus, that greater application be made to the Heart of your own Divine Presence for understanding in your quest for Truth. The Mighty God Power of your own "I AM" Presence will then flood your sacred Hearts with the fires of such spiritual fervor as shall unveil for you the mysteries of Life and Being. These, in turn, will amplify within you Peace, eternal Hope, and unshakable Courage in the face of every trial which life, karma, or justice may direct, as you press your search to find the Kingdom of God which is always within you.
Crystal clear Truth will enable men to focus the powers of their Being and to be cut free from unnecessary drains upon their attention, thus reinforcing the initiatic potential upon this planet. To be a true Initiate is to serve the Cause of The Brotherhood without ceasing. How could I, in the brightness of knowing the Purposes of God and the extent of human hurt, ignore the plight of those who call unto Me in distress? Those able to rise above the vain consideration of limited self-serving will rest serene in the knowledge that God cannot fall to assist His Own Hands and Feet, His Own Blessed Heart Fountain of Love, wherever or in whomsoever It manifests. Such as these find the fullness of repose in the arms of divine, sustaining, strength as they serve to carry out the Divine Promise, even when face to face with entrenched or militant human self-will as it opposes the Truth of Being.
IMMORTAL TRUTH sets aside human edicts by reason of Its inherent Nature. This Nature is not oppositional in design; rather is it benign, bestowing the blessedness of heavenly treasures and release from the fetters of unhappiness upon every part of Life.
I do not relish using human examples and animal symbols, yet find the following illustration apropos and of easy assimilation by present-day humanity: It is not pleasant to deal with a hungry dog who bites the hand of his master who approaches to alleviate his hunger. A similar circumstance often occurs when the Good Shepherd, the Holy Christ Self, descends to feed the lambs of God who have strayed among the wolves of prey and temporarily learned their habits. It is reassuring, of course, to remember that ultimately the lion shall lie down with the lamb and every dumb beast be harmonized in the fullness of the Day of Grace. (Isa. 11:6)
It is so needful for men to know that they cannot compromise with the Law of Grace. Either they are devoted to it sufficiently to seek to know the fullness of Heaven's Plan, or they prefer to walk in the ignorance of mass confusion. If they choose the latter course voluntarily there is little We can do except to stand in divine Patience, awaiting such new opportunity as they may one day elect to reopen to Us in order that We may render the assistance of Our Love. Knowing, as I do, the fervor of so many of the ones who have chosen to seek the Path of Initiation, I AM pouring forth My assistance and understanding Grace that all who ask may receive the abundance of their heavenly portion.
Many still are confused over the existence of evil or malice in the world of form. It would seem as if they could scarcely understand the meaning of God's Gift of Free Will. Yet they must understand it, if they will correctly perceive the results of man's misconduct, and guard against the pitfalls encountered as temptation and trial in the world of form. It is lamentable in your octave, but true, that the quotient of misqualified energy has far too often supplanted Divine Intervention in mankind's affairs - so much so that they reap the harshness of error rather than the Mercy of Life. It is difficult for those who are not Initiates to understand the demarcation line between the Consciousness of Divine Reality and that of the outer world of cause and effect. Therefore many of Us Who have long served the Holy Cause join together now in the resolve to effect greater Enlightenment among mankind and, in one supreme effort, to fulfill the wondrous fiat of the Lord's Prayer which reads so clearly, "DELIVER US FROM EVIL!"
When "evil" manifests everyone rallies to shun it, staunchly affirming, "My hands are clean!" Blessed Ones, the Earth as a unit, and all upon it, must join together in eschewing evil and accepting the accurate determinations of Divine Grace. Whether it is the naughty disobedience of a small child or the unfortunate childishness of a supposed adult which expressed the venom of evil and discourtesy, the vibratory action is equally distasteful to Heaven. How can men and women today who seek the understanding of Spiritual Truth remain in the consciousness of human viciousness? Loving Grace and Understanding must flow forth as naturally from you, Blessed Sons and Daughters of the Most High, as it did from My Blessed Son, ere you would claim His mantle.
"Are ye able to drink the cup of which I partook?" This question is not asked in pride but in the humble assertion that they who are able will perform as He did and will reckon themselves My children forever. I stand today ready to assist the would-be Initiate to find the Path that leads to honest evaluation and recompenses to no man evil for evil.
Many will attempt to bind up the wounds of the world and to clarify the meaning of spiritual Initiation and the methods currently needed to overcome the mental cruelty which lies in wait to devour the unsuspecting. Know ye, therefore, that it is truly high time the students be alert to all of these actions in order that GOD'S OWN GUARD be established hourly and men victoriously climb toward the Summit, undisturbed by outer hissing and the blasphemy of the carnal mind.
I AM holding your hand as you seek to overcome the blasts of sinister temptation and the lies of mortal conception through the Mighty Purity of your own Blessed Divine Presence whose fiery Perfection is keeping clear the way to the Celestial City.
I AM your Mother guarding the inner Perfection of your true Being,
