Most Gracious Friends of God's Will,
Religious and spiritual devotees are at times innocently unaware of some of the facts concerning the manifestation not only of God's Good but also of mortal man's evils and how to protect themselves against untoward conditions. Jesus knew this aspect of human nature and pointed it out in the parable of the unjust steward: "For the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of Light."
Some like ostriches thrust their heads in the sand and cry out, "I cannot look." The watchman upon the wall is not so, for he must guard the inhabitants of the city. And, therefore I shall now speak concerning the facts mentioned by Beloved God Meru in His Address of Sunday, April 5th, in Washington.
He spoke on witchcraft, not only as it was practiced in past civilizations but also as it has continued to be practiced through the centuries and is extant to the present day in many parts of Africa, the Caribbean, England and even America, particular infestations occurring in and around parts of Louisiana. All such negative foci contribute much to disturbances not only upon the planet itself, but also in the hearts of its people. Incalculable damage has been done to the Christ Image through the practice of this discordant human art.
In His magnificent address, Beloved God Meru emphasized in a most practical manner that the name "witchcraft" and its practice had no power (except that which men give to it) but is derived from the words wit and craft, indicating that witchcraft is nothing more than the craftiness of the human wit or intellect; never could it originate in nor derive Power from the Divine Mind. He defined it as man's cleverness or "wit" in manipulating the forces of the mind and the human psyche and the projecting to distant points of a vibratory action of fear and domination over others. He emphasized the terrible Karmic penalties involved, but particularly desired to alert the students of the Greater Light to these continuing negative practices and the resulting emanations, in order that they might effect the proper safeguards at this present hour.
There are, of course, individuals who feel that by merely denying the existence of such forces they are able to negate their influence. I do not question the fact that to deny is to remove much power from such conditions. For My statements are not at all in affirmation of the power of the human "wit" to successfully compete with the permanent Realities of Being. Nay, I AM hereby offering to those willing to receive it the Wisdom that will enable men to stand the guard in their own world and in the world of others against all forces not derived from the consent of the Holy Spirit and the Purity of Heaven.
It is not that men themselves desire to give power unto the "world's wits" or to those who would presume to be manipulators of others. It is that the power of negation is often unwittingly assumed over others without their knowledge and without their recognition of the source of influence which attempts to defraud them of the great blessings which God intends Man to have.
Let Me compare this to the incident of a legacy which a relative in a distant city bequeaths to a loved one. He entrusts it unknowingly to an unscrupulous attorney who, through manipulating the law, does not give proper notice to the heir at the passing of the relative and secures for himself an appointment as trustee, thereby gaining control of the fortune himself. This defrauds the heir either in part or in toto, who is thus unaware of the total good which should have befallen him.
The manifold religions of the world promise to confer in the hereafter a great deal of benefits, whereas the wise spiritual preceptor knows that many benefits of the Kingdom of Heaven can be immediate if the individual is only alert to accept his God-given opportunities. Now, I say not only can they be immediate but they must be immediate if the glories of the Ascension are to be conferred without unnecessary delays and in a similar manner to the translation of Enoch.
It is one thing, Most Precious Ones, to make your Ascension from the hilltops of the world and it is entirely another to wait until thirty or forty years after your passing and then to Ascend from the Etheric Level. I do not deny that the blessings of the Ascension are wondrous whenever conferred, but certainly every alert student would wish to have the benefit of the greater gift of the twain, were he able to select therefrom.
Therefore, let those wise ones who understand the meaning of the parables of the Christ be alert to Our Words, each one. You may wonder why, after the release of Resurrection's Flame and the Holy Regeneration of the Easter season, I AM dwelling upon such an unwholesome aspect of the creation. Well, let Me tell you, when you are off guard and least suspecting, it is then YOU MUST WATCH. Following success, STAND GUARD and do not neglect your spiritual Protection. Precious Ones, the God Meru, in His release of April 5, desired to sweep aside, by the Power of Illumination's Flame, those misunderstandings which in past ages have caused the sinking of continents, in order that the Children of the Light might avoid the repetition of such cataclysmic actions and thereby usher in the Kingdom of God without unnecessary suffering.
We affirm that all men are children of God in that they all have the Threefold Flame within them. Yet, Genghis Khan and Hitler also possessed a Threefold Flame that was designed to manifest the Christ. The fact remains that those who at the present hour desecrate the Divine Intent by the practice of witchcraft, although they were intended to inherit God's kingdom, are not only hindering themselves but they are also hindering the planet through the emanations of negation which they release.
Now, one of the factors that I would like to point out to the students that governs the amount of negative radiation taken in is the feeling of self-condemnation. The Christian Church, in its mission of saving men's souls, has frequently emphasized the nature of "sin" in the human psyche and thereby many have been burdened with feelings of guilt which they have inadvertently accepted in place of the joy of their own individual Christ Identity. Those who desire to have dominion over the consciousness of others may seek to achieve it through the imposition of intense feelings of self-condemnation upon their victims who, in their resultant state of self-delusion, are easy prey to those evil designs which the malpractitioner then masquerades as good.
Actually, there are very few willfully evil people upon Earth. Most individuals dwell in a state that We may unfortunately term the "norm" of the mass human consciousness. ( - for We hold for all men the concept of excellence.) It is not God's intent to deprive men of their divine estate of the pursuit of happiness and joy but rather is it His Will to see that the type of joy they realize is permanent, divine, and soul-satisfying, independent of those reactions of human karma which may descend upon the unwary to shatter the crystal vase of their God-Happiness.
Condemnation, then, which is actually a frontal attack against the Christ Good in Man, is one of the most insidious types of witchcraft because it opens the door to the disorientation of personality and a great deal of unhappiness. In addition to the more obvious and direct attempts to depreciate the manifestation of God, there are projected into the subconscious recesses of the human psyche animal forms and astral distortions which would be enough to unhinge the most balanced of minds if they were aware of them. The dissonant lines of force emanating from these projections cut across the beautiful Soul-regenerating Powers of the Christ which would ordinarily flow unimpeded down through the whole lifestream from the great Source of Life, the individualized Mighty "I AM" Presence. Eventually these distortions reach the surface of men's conscious awareness, there to manifest as even more complex lies of insecurity, remorse and shame. Thus men's hopes are dashed by these treacherous thieves which have entered the night of his consciousness and he, cast down before his own eyes, is unable to rise and behold the Love of God that flows forth from the Fount of Life to free him.
Now the Tube of Light which the students have been given is very effective in shutting out and screening from Man these discordant vibrations. The Violet Flame is also most helpful. But men must diligently practice these services and must call forth forcefields of spiritual Protection around themselves daily - and even hourly when under attack. In the Name of God, I say to all: You are in a battle! The Battle of Armageddon is not a mere clashing of spears and chariots in the arenas of the world. It is a spiritual battle for the minds and hearts of men. The great Clarity of the Christ Mind, the great Purity of God, the great Love and Munificence of His Being, are scarcely understood by individuals today who at times seem to have a very nebulous concept of the Power of God.
The Power of God is very close to Man. It is not far away as mankind sometimes imagine, but It might as well be at some great distance insofar as many are concerned, for these do not effectively release this Divine Power of Protection into their worlds. The Power of God is able to protect man against all the depredations of the sons of Belial - (those who pursue a path of iniquity.) Therefore, I say that the children of mammon, in their own generation, have for too long been "wiser" than the children of Light! We desire now with this release of the Flame of Illumination from the God Meru to give the students greater understanding of the need to invoke their own Protection - the Protection of the pure in heart upon Earth! It is not enough to have individuals clothed with innocence; they must also be sheltered from the infernal blasts of the spoilers.
O, Heart Friends of the Ages, those who would be knights of the Table Round, of the Sacred Councils of The Brotherhood, those who would sit with the Christ and drink as communicants of the Lord's table! Wear the breastplate of righteousness, wield the sword of Faith, and BE vigilant in assisting the Powers of Light upon Earth in maintaining Victory in the hearts of mankind!
So much misinformation is being poured forth, so many unclear statements have been made in the Name of God, so much mysticism has cloaked the Reality of God, that some men have even spurned religious Truth because they have been blinded by the lustre of its highly polished tower reaching the snowy heights of Mount Olympus. Let Us be grateful, then, that the genuine spiritual Powers of Light are moving the caravan forward. Let Us be grateful, then, that in patience all may possess their souls until the final great Revelation is made and men stand no longer arrayed in false raiment, but clothed upon as Sons of God, their garments woven with strands of Truth, of Illumination and of regenerate Fire.
I say in Christ Purity, let all day by day seek to rise higher.
