If I could be amazed, I would be by the gullibility of mankind concerning spiritual matters and Cosmic Law. It should be apparent to all that the Power of Truth is greater than error; yet the very sincerity of men's Hearts sometimes opens the door to weakness, unless great discrimination and foresight be the lot of those blessed ones.
Recent events have made it necessary for Me to clear the way for greater understanding concerning the Laws governing Our support, as The Darjeeling Council of The Great White Brotherhood, of exoteric organizations who release segments of Truth above the level of the orthodox. Blessed Ones, We need many hands to make "Light work" and also serve the various needs of mankind in order to make available the best path for each one that will lead all to the feet of their own Divinity where the laurel wreath of Purity and Victory is bestowed upon those who have shown themselves worthy to receive it.
Never will We withdraw Our support from any sincere, God-loving individual. Neither will We permit anyone to usurp authority with impunity and attempt to present to mankind the false premise that the Ascended Master Retreats, which are fixed through Love and Devotion poured out from milleniums, are to be removed from their etheric locations above the landed areas of the Earth, where they have been sustained by the Angelic Hosts and have served the needs of the entire planet for so long.
First of all, let Me present the Great Law concerning the "etheric mesh" of Light Substance which is isolated from the denser levels of the Planetary Body. It is a fact that the entire sphere of the etheric mesh in which the Etheric Retreats are located can and does at times rotate independently of the Earth at a speed far exceeding the Earth's own rotational norm, and thereby there is created a harmonic tone combining the musical keys of the many Ascended Master Retreats. These manifest as a wondrous chord of pure Love - somewhat in the manner of a child's musical top.
Therefore, since these Retreats were scientifically positioned by The Brotherhood according to Cosmic Law it would be in violation of that Law and indeed wholly unnecessary to disturb their wonderful Etheric Pattern in order to convey a blessing to any part of the Earth or any person thereon. To do so would be to upset the delicate magnetic field of the entire Earth and this would serve no useful purpose. After all, Blessed Ones, if the North and South Poles were to be put at the equator would this not disturb the balance of the Earth? Remember that by Mighty Light Rays We can and do reach every part of the Earth and expand the Light within men's Hearts wherever they are. Inasmuch as the Retreats are visited by mankind in their finer bodies, it does not matter where on Earth these Retreats are located from the standpoint of availability and blessings conferred to all of Life.
Let Me, by the Power of Divine Love and in Holy Truth, here make known that God's Holy Patterns are for the blessing of the whole Earth. We will not at any time afford any outer organization the benefit of Our exclusive support. Would it be the Will of God to evolve a pattern of Freedom for one part of life, and slavery or subservience to another? I think not. Every blessed soul can arrive one day at the very Summit of his own existence, which is God. All benign organizations ought to look well to the awesome responsibility of releasing Truth to the earth. Each manifestation of confusion or distortion which is released, whether it hold the appearance of Truth or not, is the sole responsibility of the individual or organization releasing it.
I cannot deny to the many who look to Me for guidance My continuing Protection and the purifying Radiance of Brotherly Love for the many spiritual endeavors which I have fostered, not in the light of human ideology where shadows of individual exclusivity appear, but in the God-ordained Power of Infinite Love to bind together in wondrous Harmony the entire body of world servers.
Know, then, that the spirit of Christ-Discernment must be sought apart from any outer loyalties or opinions no matter how long you may have sustained them. You must guard both purse and person against the inroads of those who would establish, at the expense of absolute Virtue, a tower to reach unto Heaven, which is not anchored in the bedrock of world Good Will and the gentle entreaty of Our Lord The Maha Chohan Who ever admonishes:
"The Holy Spirit shall draw the devotees of all nations and creeds into such compliance with the Divine Will that the very shell of the whole world shall be saturated with the Light that is within it." The magnitude of that Light is best expanded, then, through Harmony and Understanding, not by a sense of struggle or competition among people seeking to serve the greater Light, but by the Holy Perceptions that recognize in the EQUAL CREATION the need for individual acceptance of each one's own GOD-GIVEN PERFECTION.
In line with the policies We have established, to stand guard always upon the wall of the Lord, We say, let all who run and read remember to bear the UNITY OF TRUTH while understanding the subtlety of error. The Chelas of God are like Vines having very tender grapes, and We would not have any bruised by errors, whether stemming from the folly of avarice or the banality of ignorance.
Our Retreats remain inviolate - for Cosmic Purposes. We may from time to time establish new foci or centers which will one day become, by intelligent effort and service, mighty Focuses of Love. And We have on rare occasions moved a Flame or re-established It, by Mighty Light Rays to affect a nation for good.
I AM no part of human controversy in this release, but pay staunch recognition to the magnificent structure of The Great White Brotherhood, which has for so long served the needs of men under most trying and difficult circumstances. Remember, all that expands your Light and the Power of Truth to guide you aright is of God. In sweet, childlike simplicity remain undisturbed nor affrighted by the words of men. The Soul of God is unruffled by human concepts and as you are in Truth a part of that mighty fortress of Tranquility, so abide forever. I shall not be moved!
This letter was dictated by the Beloved Chohan in answer to many requests directed to His Heart by students on the Path. Those who are familiar with the circumstances of which He speaks will be grateful for His forthrightness on their behalf. Those not informed of the nature of these recent events will cherish this Word of Caution which is indeed a Cosmic ounce of prevention against the chaos which can result from accepting a statement merely because an individual or an organization says it is so, without exercising the Power of one's own God-given faculties of Christ Discrimination.
In My first PEARL released for this Holy Season I spoke on the "House" of Man's Being. In My second release I spoke of the expansion of Man's Being to fill all substance, that all might sense greater awareness. It is My wish now to knit together some of the thoughts embodied in the former releases in preparation for My final topical offering next week.
I AM releasing Holy Substance unto the Planetary Body and to the people thereof, that all in commemoration of the Mastery of Beloved Jesus may find a greater measure of the Blessing which He sought to impart throughout His Mission. Therefore, let Me point out in a most direct manner that His Mission, which began with the announcement of Archangel Gabriel to Me, saying, "Hail, Mary, full of grace the Lord is with Thee and with Thy Spirit; blessed art Thou among women," has not yet ended. Neither will it end until the fulness of the Christ Radiance has given Freedom's release to everyone who desires to respond to the Message of God's Eternal Kingdom.
If the blessed memory of mankind were to be embellished with still greater quality of recall, I AM certain that less confusion would occur. For individuals who are prone to criticize one another would be able to draw forth from their own memory records a knowledge of their own failures made at some time or another in their long past history. Inasmuch as the folds of memory have mercifully blotted out from the conscious mind much of that which has happened of a sordid nature throughout many embodiments, the full weight of men's negation does not burden the outer mind. Now, because some measure of benign knowledge and Wisdom from Memory's Storehouse has also been temporarily withheld from the conscious faculties, mankind frequently do not attain to all of their yearnings as quickly as if they were able to focus on the Truth of their Beings at all times and have the fulness of perfect spiritual perception.
The externalization of God-Qualities is the remedy for all human shortcomings. I would remind you that every good Quality is always related to a Divine Flame. God-Flames are Immortalizing, God-Flames are Immortal. Every good and benign Quality always ties to a Flame of God-Reality. I know this may sound a bit odd to those who have not thought about it, but if you will pause to think, you will realize that the scriptures have recorded the great Truth that "Our God is a consuming Fire."
Obviously the Fire of God does not consume all of the seeming reality of the temporal world, maya though it be, and yet most material substance here is combustible. Even the metals of the world in all of their hardness and density - under the pressure of volcanic action or intense heat - become molten substance. Therefore nothing here on earth is too permanent, but all melts with a fervent heat.
When I refer to God-Qualities as being tied to a tangible Flame, I call to your attention the Flame of Love Itself which animates the very temple of Man's Being. Precious Ones, it is God's Love that beats your Heart and as you well know, there are times when the beating thereof is in vain apprehension and yet again in almost a wild anticipation of some spiritual release. On the occasion of the Resurrection morning as I drew near to the tomb, approaching it with awe and reverence, I recall well how My Heart did then beat with that intense hammering pulsation of vital expectancy. For the appearance of The Christ was not unexpected to us. We lived too intimately with the Great Flame of His Being not to know that He was Immortal. We knew that this Immortality did extend even to His Mastery and Dominion over the flesh and the atoms of His precious substance. Therefore, it was no extreme surprise to us when He first appeared after His Resurrection. It was but the fulfillment of that which we inwardly knew from the beginning!
Therefore, Dear Hearts, as I speak to you at this Easter Season, it is to engender within you this selfsame sense of Divine Expectancy. You cannot reap the rewards of a Christ-glorified Nature unless you expect the Resurrection Flame to appear within yourself. The domain of your own Being must be filled with your full capacity to realize God. You must be willing to drink of the cup of Life without fear. You must be willing to kneel in your own Garden of Gethsemane and to accept a certain portion of the crucifixions of Life without flinching. You must be able to recognize that the Power of God cannot be forever confined to the tomb of matter and; therefore, your own Resurrection from dead works is an inevitability. You must not express great surprise, then, at the appearing of God within your own flesh. This is divinely natural and to be expected. It is the fulfillment of the Holy Purposes of Being. It is the fulfillment of the very causes for which you came into the world of form; and it is the beginning of your great Cosmic Service to Life - your Resurrection from the kingdom of matter density into the wonderful world of God-Mastery and radiant Spiritual Perfection in manifestation.
Now, the Flames of which I spoke are many. There is a Flame of Constancy, of Purity, of Good Will, of Healing, of Compassion, of Mercy, Justice, Truth; of the Ascension and of Illumination. It is true that all of these wondrous Flames are Immortal, that all are related to and emanate from God, that all assist in the return of Man to God and that all help to burn out the destructive substances lodged in the lower nature of man. But unless these are employed in almost daily use - Jesus used them hourly - how can they render a complete service to Man? And so it is to the use of these Flames that We dedicate Ourselves.
You need not make of this a complex formula. A simple Invocation breathed Godward is often sufficient. When you perceive the need for Illumination, you may simply say: "O Mighty God Presence I AM in me, blaze Thy Flame of Illumination through and set me free right now, today." This call, accompanied by the visualization of the color of the Flame, is most efficacious in setting into action the Cosmic Law that purifies and harmonizes the Being of each individual with Holy Wisdom.
Oh, I do pray for all - that all will ponder the Mission of My Son as it relates to their own Victory. You know, Precious Ones, He always regarded Life somewhat as a field, and He saw growing there the many expressions of Life in very great similitude, comparing men in parable to ears of corn or grains of wheat. Therefore, out of the many precious lifestreams presently on earth, I call to ALL individually, reminding all that it is in following My Son in the Regeneration that mortality becomes immortalized and that death becomes swallowed up in Victory. It is Immortality which has bestowed upon you the very Life you now bear!
I shall greet you again next week with a final tribute of this series to your Immortal Being and its Resurrection from the tomb of materiality into the wondrous rarified Consciousness of Heaven's Own REALITY.
(from March 8, 1964 Address by Beloved Lord Himalaya:)
... While I AM speaking to you there is a Cosmic Action taking place throughout the Planetary Body whereby an intense power of Love's Radiance is conveyed forth by the Angelic Hosts. It is rendering a very special assistance to the elementals, enabling them - and I say many of them - to cut themselves free from the weight of human oppression that has been lying heavily upon their heads for a long period. This action will enable them to conceive how they can better outpicture a multitude of blossom designs held within the Heart of the Lord The Maha Chohan and Beloved Immaculata, the Silent Watcher for the Earth. These designs of a floral nature, because of mankind's rudeness of heart, have been withheld from the Planetary Body.
It is Our Hope, then, that We may be able to infuse certain seeds with essential spiritual elements drawn forth from these lovely patterns, whereby certain types of flowers will begin an action of mutation and will thereby change their characteristics in order to bring forth new types of flowers in preparation for the coming Golden Age.
Now, it will be necessary for mankind to assist the Angelic Hosts and the Elemental Beings by a continuous action of Transmutation. While these ideas are very tender and young, and the implantation has scarcely been received, there is always the danger that it will be withdrawn and lost as the precious oil of heavenly fragrance is poured upon the Earth. This, in a sense, is the falling of the word upon the rock, the stony ground where it cannot bring forth perfect fruit from Heaven, and fulfill the Edenic manifestation which the great Law requires. ...
