A New Sense of Cosmic Possibilities
Your saying, "The saddest words of tongue or pen are these, 'It might have been"' need never apply to you, for I say in holy Mercy's Name, God is with thee; and all that seems to be a refutation of thy happiness is in many cases but a method whereby thy soul is "tried" that it might expand its wings and higher fly. Thus, in Mercy's Name you move forward by scarcely noticeable "inchings" or again by rapid expansion of your Light!
May I address today those "lonely ones" who are in reality children of the Sun. For it is in "voluntary exile" that so many of these have entered earth's spheres and densities in order that they might act as overseers in the Garden of God to confer His loveliness upon others, even as a costume designer creates magnificent forms in cloth to robe mankind's physical form so that it might express a greater degree of loveliness.
Now, the garments of the world continuously pass through change and each age has seen the outpicturing of numerous styles. To be in vogue has been the desire of those who long to be thought wise and attractive by men. But, the inner currents of Immortal Loveliness, flowing in a maiden's heart as in that of Jeanne d'Arc of old and as outpictured in many of the historical and religious figures of the past, continue to fire the minds and memories of men with the idea of becoming clothed with the white raiment of immortal beauty.
You must bear in mind, O, Precious Ones, that many of those now embodied upon earth were contemporaries of these figures and they feel a flame of kinship within them as they pursue the studies of past history. But, in the Name of Compassion and Mercy, as I draw very near to you now, I would point out to you that this present hour is the very nadir of your world; for this very hour can be the consecrated springboard of a new beginning, when the past with all of its negative aspects is forgotten, and the hopeful future stands before you in all of its Promise as the Divine Plan awaiting externalization. In the Name of Cosmic Mercy I say wallow not in the records of the past that have often acted to prevent the manifestation of God's wondrous intent for the future; for those misdeeds that men have committed of yore have today become impediments in their own pathway.
It is true that in former ages - or even in the recent past - many have placed thorns and thistles upon their brothers' pathways. But, Precious Ones, the mere burden of balancing human karma does not fulfill all the purposes of God. While the round of karma must needs be completed, it is not necessary that men continue to create that which brings about future discord. The lodestone of human "momentum" must be considered. But, let all understand this concept with a view to dispelling the negative action of mankind's karma.
You cannot, Precious Ones, expect that the Great Law will affirm that all of the misqualified energy which you have created need not be balanced; but you need not stand helplessly waiting for someone else to consume it. And you need not fear that you will perish because you invoke the Flame of Divine Love and Mercy and Compassion.
Simply because you set your feet upon the holy path does not mean that you will lose all that you have been given. I would prefer to say, it is as though you had not yet lived and were now coming into the beginning of a greater Life. Those who "lose" ("loose themselves") their human way of life in the pursuit of their Divine Identity can only find true Reality, for all Reality abides in God; and that which is realized in the consciousness of humanity is but a tiny portion of that Divine Reality that at times seems most illusory and even like a mirage upon the desert of man's life.
Transform, then, your Being by a renewing of your mind and let a new sense of Cosmic possibilities flood forth through you. Remember that the weight of human karma is in most cases quite naturally a mighty lodestone. You may expect, then, that it shall have a pull and that it will from time to time exert that pull upon your energies. You simply need not be controlled by those pulls or by this lodestone of your own human creation. You can recognize the "burden of the Christ" as composed of Ascended Master Light Substance and you can, as the Goddess of Light did of old, call for more and more of this Light until the very Light itself shall take hold upon the substance of your world and give you the great Power and waves of Freedom for which you call. The Great Magnet of Heaven is by far the Greater Lodestone to those who generate response to it!
The call for Light cannot fail to produce fruit. But the fruit of Compassion and Mercy may not always manifest in all their glorious completion at any given moment. There may be times when you may feel as though but little has changed in your world. Quite naturally, when you are in the grip of cyclonic human forces of the past, it may seem to you as though all things were still vibrating in accordance with the laws of human density. This is not so, for you have been periodically lifted from the merry-go-round of life into more infinite and eternal cycles of peace where greater Mercy and Compassion abide - where Love seeks to guide you and lead you gently through pathways of achievement unto the land of wonderful promise.
If, momentarily, as children sometimes do, you step down and return to the merry-go-round of life, you must realize that some penalty must be paid and some forfeiture made. But this does not negate all that has been already done for the Great Light, for you must simply once again stand, face and conquer. You must once again strengthen your resolves; you must once again know that many decisions must be made ere Man's meanderings into the finite wilderness existence can be wholly mitigated in a mighty positive inrush of Cosmic Mercy which sweeps away the jams and blockages in human consciousness and causes the whole Being of Man to be set aglow with the infinite vitality of Cosmic dimensions.
O, Ladies and Gentlemen, lovely children of the Infinite Light, the blazing diamond-like splendor of your Divine Reality is a garment of such tangibility and wonder that I long to see you all arrayed in It. I long to see you step forth as every Ascended Master does, shining in your own Christ Raiment with all of Its splendor and brightness. The Christ Raiment of the Western Masters is also the Christ Raiment of the East.
And so today in the dismal land of China, once so splendidly aware in Golden Ages of the past of the wonders of spiritual culture and treasure, the Temples of Heaven lie temporarily desecrated before the onrush of human greed with all its materialistic reasoning. Let all know however, that the treasures of spiritual glory are not subject to the decay of any of the nations that have fallen, for there is a bond between all people upon earth that is greater than nationalism. And when the Wings of Victory shall have ultimately established His Mighty Temple upon earth to the Glory of God, the Mighty "I AM" Presence, Peace shall abide in every heart. Yet, where you now abide there "I AM" and those of you who long to be a Fount of Mercy unto Life will be. This is God's Promise fulfilled in you.
