Dear Ones Who Would Know the Living Master in All Life -
The most gracious gift of God to every lifestream is the totality of Being - not a mere fragment but the totality of that blessed Reality. The deceit of the senses has kept men and women from realizing in full potency all that is of the infinite nature within them awaiting holy recognition.
God abides his eternity, peering through the screen of time and manifesting on the stage of life in various phases of his Reality; and yet, this too is Life. From this dream of partial knowledge men must awaken to behold the splendor of themselves in all things.
Each blessed teacher of holy Truth must recognize that it is by the power of example that he can best serve the Great Law, for a good example has the power of ten thousand words and is amplified eternally in the heart of the beholder. If students who desire to teach others concerning the great reality of Life (as God) would determine to know that Reality (as God) and to manifest it themselves, they would by the power of their example bring the kingdom (consciousness) of God far nearer to their neighbors and loved ones than by all other methods of teaching.
Let me make clear that I do not decry the power of words nor the value of holy instruction. But bearing in mind that the Word of God became embodied in form - and that he who was the Word incarnate declared, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away"1 - I would see you amplify the power of the holy Word in example as the true manifestation of the Christ consciousness. This the Ascended Masters call the living Word. And this is the step-by-step process of the Incarnation which Life intends to be as much your own victory as it was that of beloved Jesus.
There are certain teachers in the Far East who, lacking understanding, have declared that only a 'living Master' would suffice to teach them or transfer the essence of Light. These sincere but misinformed devotees have not been taught the meaning of Life, nor do they comprehend who or what is a so-called 'living Master'.
Surely the capacity of God to communicate with his own is not limited to a flesh-and-blood manifestation of himself! Surely the Word was made flesh to accommodate man's comprehension, not God's! Surely a Master who has walked the earth, transmitting the Word to his disciples - performed feats that defy ordinary physics, with signs following2 of healings, miracles, and a body of teaching that has withstood the rigorous tests of time - loses neither his life nor his mastership by stepping beyond the pale of temporal life and a body temple ill-equipped for higher octaves!
It seems that the cherished apostle Paul covered the controversy quite well: "But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? ... There are also celestial bodies and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another."3 Rest assured, beloved, that the Life of God does not terminate when the soul of man steps forth from the body temple and exchanges its earthly garments for one more ethereal.
As Life is God, it is continuous. The true Master, whether in the body or out of the body, is he in whom the Word is embodied as the active principle for and on behalf of the Almighty's Law of Life. The power to communicate from the higher to the lower octaves is possessed by every Ascended Master and requires but the pole of a receptive chela to transmit the vibratory action of spiritual assistance, love, and blessing - including fresh solutions to stale problems, nifty ideas and practical inventions that are the gift from the Master's heart to the chela for the whole human race.
The Life of God is present in the mineral, vegetable, and animal kingdoms and throughout the unseen world of Nature spirits - a kingdom teeming with 'elemental' life, the happy chatter of elves and fairies, gnomes at work (though not always whistling!), sylphs arranging clouds and tumbling in the winds, undines splashing in the waves and salamanders dancing in fiery rings of rainbow rays.
So great a weight of mankind's karma do they bear that the gnomes themselves take on man's ways, becoming grumpy, grouchy until a sweet teacher appears (like the blessed Mother in the guise of Snow White) to lead them gently up the scale of their earthly evolution under their hierarchs, Virgo and Pelleur, the masterful beings who maintain the balance of forces in the earth. The gnomes serve in the physical plane just beyond the veil (spectrum) of ordinary sight. Here they are called the earth elementals. Sometimes you catch sight of them out of the corner of your eye - then think you must have imagined it!
Sylphs service the domain of the skies and the air purification and pressure systems. This all observe in the alchemical changes of weather and cycles of photosynthesis and precipitation. These elementals are masterful creatures who expand and contract their airy 'bodies' from microcosmic to macrocosmic levels, always keeping the flame for the realm of the mind, the mental plane which corresponds to the air element - one of the four elements designated by the ancient alchemists. Hence, sylphs are known as the air elementals. They respond to the command of their hierarchs, Aries and Thor.
The configuration of the earth body and earth chemistry, reduced to four distinct stages or qualities of substance - fire, air, water, and earth4 - by the mystical brotherhood of early scientists whose quest to control natural forces included the elusive goal of turning base metals into gold by transmutation - was in fact not far from higher truth.
The four lower bodies of man do relate to the so-called four planes of Matter serviced by cosmic forces focusing through the lesser evolved beings of Nature. In fact, you may be interested to know that the elementals were also created by Elohim to serve the sons and daughters of God as they, too, master the earth sciences and take dominion in space (both inner and outer) and in time. As man seeks to conquer his world in the sea of waters and in the sea of light, in the vibrations of subatomic and supersonic realms by way of proving his God-control of the universe step by step in all facets of the four kingdoms, unbeknownst to his outer awareness he is cooperating with elementals who have kept things under control for millions of years.
The fiery salamanders hold the secrets of the fire element, corresponding with the etheric body. At precisely what point the physical fire, elusive and most difficult to control, becomes the sacred fire is a mystery taught by the Holy Spirit, observed in the sacred heart of the saints, touched upon lightly by nuclear scientists, but held firmly in hand by the fire elementals.
In obedient and loving service to their hierarchs, Oromasis and Diana, their domain stretches from the nucleus of every atom and cell of Life to the core of the earth. They are compassionate and brilliant teachers ready to teach mankind practical ways of harnessing universal energy - from the heart of the electron to the heart of the sun.
The water elementals, portrayed in the elusive but enchanting mermaids, have inspired many a tale of romance between the human and elemental evolutions. 'Crossing over' from the elemental to the human kingdom is a known phenomenon. It is a door that has opened and been shut again to allow, in certain isolated cases, a particularly precious elemental of virtue and attainment to move on in the scale of evolution through the family of humanity, ultimately to acquire the divine spark.
More frequently, elementals cross over to the animal kingdom, accelerating evolution by serving man through the highly intelligent species, such as elephants, whales, porpoises, and even particularly loving and responsive dogs or horses.
The race memory of such occurrences goes back to the mists of Lemuria and Atlantis and is held today as legend or fairy tale, myth or make-believe by those whose lives would be too turned around to suit their pace or personal self-esteem, were they to take seriously this 'sub-level' of a lifewave, perceived at subconscious levels but denied everywhere except in the play of a midsummer night's dream.
Nevertheless, the serious work of the undines moves on as the oceans and the rivers and the lakes, streams and rivulets and raindrops all play a part in the formation and re-formation of the body of our planet and of man, utterly dependent upon the elementals.
The undines, who also laugh and play in the waves and waterfalls, lovingly follow the example of their hierarchs. Neptune is the king of the deep and his consort, Luara, is mother of tides, governing cycles of fertility and the water element as it affects the emotional body (known as the water, feeling, or desire body) and the communications of mankind's joy, grief, guilt, anger, and love through the astral plane, strongly influencing the collective unconscious of the race.
There is a great difference in the consciousness of the mineral, vegetable, animal, and human kingdoms serviced by the four types of elementals. Just as the body of man is not aware of itself in sleep, so the mineral kingdom does not possess self-awareness but manifests a specific quality of 'mineral density' which elemental life has charged into the substance of matter.
For example, the gnomes, although scarce recognized by the average Westerner - yet made known to the Irish as the "little people," or as mischievous fairies called leprechauns - do exist and impart to the mineral kingdom a wonderful quality of spiritual radiance which passes through the consciousness of the elemental's own being directly from the sun parents of this system - Helios and Vesta. The gnomes are charged with the responsibility of administering the divine pattern for each rock, precious stone, and element of mineral life. By a like token, there are also many ethereal angelic beings (of the devic evolution) responsible for ensouling the God-design in the natural order.
Trees and plants, of course, do not possess the awareness of either the human or the elemental consciousness but have imparted to them, by the advanced devas who watch over them, a greater degree of Life awareness than that retained by the mineral kingdom.
The ensoulment of trees and plants by the devas who direct the specific plant elementals assigned to categories of flora - and exist in such numberless numbers as to tend, literally, everything that grows - accounts for the undeniable fact that people who attune their spiritual centers to the Nature kingdom are able to speak to trees and plants and receive a physically perceptible response to the spark of consciousness communicated to the plant through its "nerve system." The life-force in plants and animals has been isolated in Kirlian photography, revealing an aura of universal energy, an electromagnetic field, also common to man.
Stepping up in the scale of Life-expressions from flora to fauna, we discover by like attunement the group-soul of animal species manifesting qualities of higher intelligence. Many animals possess almost human characteristics and an uncanny sense, almost psychic in its display. This is especially true of certain breeds of dogs and horses, and is marked in the elephant and the lower primates.
Mammals of the sea, fish, seals, and penguins are not excluded from a very wonderful intelligence, and further study by sensitive scientists will reveal a marvelous attunement, through the heart of all Life, everywhere in the Nature kingdom. Entomologists never cease to be amazed at the wonders of the ant; and the goad of the wise man "Go to the ant, thou sluggard ..."5 indicates that man has a great deal to learn from the veritable mysteries of Nature.
All this lovely creation imbued with a portion of the Divine Intelligence is deemed the "footstool kingdom" of God and was originally placed under the dominion of man as the manifestation of God. Through contaminating vibrations of cruelty, Nature has absorbed human imperfection. The savage qualities of jungle beasts are considered animalistic, whereas in reality, when the truth of life is known and the record of akasha and the planetary aura is accurately read, it will be learned that animal as well as elemental life originally absorbed their gross and sometimes grotesque outpicturings from mankind.
Savagery, cannibalism, violence, revenge, and killing originated in mankind's lowest evolutionary descent and were transmitted directly by vibration (here proving that the power of example can also be the worst teacher) to the subspecies. Therefore, the animal magnetism in humans - often sub-animal, wreaking a devilish wrath - must be redeemed (i.e., transmuted by the violet flame) in the process of freeing the planet.
This you can begin to effect right now by fervent calls for the action of the circle and sword of blue flame of Astrea, the universal Mother figure functioning at the level of Elohim (personified in the East as Kali) who cuts free her children evolving in every kingdom from the imposed evil matrix of the vengeful fallen angels. The violet fire that flows from your determined, heartfelt decrees literally lifts the pall of human consciousness from all elemental life.6 It is integral to the reclamation of Nature's beauty.
Beloved Saint Germain and other Ascended Masters have in various associations of their embodiments had contact with elemental life evolving through the animal kingdom. In some cases, this necessitated their later intercession on behalf of certain elementals embodied in animal form. The freeing of these blessed elementals 'imprisoned' in dense bodies has on more than one occasion been the gift of love and violet fire from the ascended one to that elemental part of Life with whom they had prior contact.
Through the radiation of kindness, joy, and gratitude, all Nature will ultimately attain a pristine state of Edenic perfection where "the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard with the kid, the calf and the young lion together ..."7 The law of the savage jungle will be abrogated by Christ-power, and those men so fortunate as to remain upon this planet will be living Christs. Through their intercession, all elementals will be set free from confinement to the temporary animal forms. The radiation of divine Love rising to a pulsation of great power will instantaneously sever and dissolve the connection of the evolved elementals with the self-limiting animal matrix and consciousness.
Some of you will recall reading of my love for the birds and creatures and that they came to me without fear. Beloved hearts, in most animals fear is the result of mankind's own feelings which are, or have been, projected to the animals through the mass mind. Man's survival instincts retained from prehistoric times sustain a fierce desire to self-protect. Race memories of past encounters with savage beasts keep alive a record and an automatic reflex whereby man reverts to a defensive posture when sensing the presence of certain wild animals.
Through Christ-power, men can make an appeal to the great Law of Life to free them from this latent fear that engenders alienation from all elemental life. We do not advocate recklessness in approaching wild animals, for until the inner action of transmuting all fear and doubt into love is complete, people would do well not to expose themselves unduly to dangers from animal life which yet responds to man from the lowest levels of world consciousness - for the flame of resurrection is yet to be transferred to them by sons and daughters of a God-mastery regained.
Remember, dear hearts, only when all fear is removed from within yourself, especially the subconscious, by the Great God Presence of Life will the lower-vibrating energy of the cobra, the lion, and all destructive beasts yield to the mighty power of your real attainment in Christ. Thus, we remind those who are beginning to realize that their own self-mastery is the key to the victory of all earth's evolutions: He who keepeth himself (his four lower bodies) and the gateway to his own house (his consciousness, body temple, and chakras) is greater than the ruler of a city.
As Solomon put it - and you would do well to consider his wisdom: "He that is slow to anger [keeping the vigil of God-control in his mental and feeling bodies] is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit [maintaining the God-control of the sacred fire in a figure-eight flow from the etheric to the physical body] than he that taketh a city."8
As you prepare to teach men many of the great laws of Being, you must show them that these laws are interwoven with the realities all around them. How can they extricate themselves from the maya and delusion of the ages unless they are able to see God woven into substance and to recognize the hand of the Infinite in all outer expressions? The day of great golden illumination is at hand!
"Say not ye, There are yet four months and then cometh harvest? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes and look on the fields, for they are white already to harvest."9
Many are called, but few choose to offer themselves to be the Master's vessel.
In love of service to Life, I AM
