How great the charge of love and light I brought unto Mary. How great the charge of divine majesty I portrayed unto her and communicated to her soul in the Annunciation.1
There is a thought that should permeate the being of every man. To put it simply, it refers to the Cosmic Mother to whom an archangel from the heart of God did long ago wing the living Word and did declare: "Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee. ..." And so the Cosmic Christ was conceived, and so the Cosmic Christ was born.2
The annunciation of heaven has always been given as a part of the divine drama. For although mankind today do sometimes suffer from banal feelings of unreality when Life does not seem to them to be wholly real, I am certain that they must acknowledge, if they will tenderly contemplate the mysteries and blessings of being, that there is a mounting sense of reality which hides behind the appearance world and signifies the intent of God to glorify the creation of his heart which becomes vested with cosmic worth.
The gifts of God must be appropriated, beloved ones, and the heart of Mary and the heart of the Cosmic Mother were both receptive to the Annunciation. Man, then, in order to receive the divine plan, the seed of grace, the seed of God, must keep open the fallowness of soul that will nourish and nurture the living Word and become the Word incarnate. It is not enough merely to appropriate the simple flow of life in the body, the simple flow of intelligence and sensory grasp in mind and nerve, but man must also expand and nourish the senses of soul. He must heal ingratitude and doubt and fear and that which would thrust him down into the dark and cover over the precious sparkling flood of opportunity which God lavishes upon those whom he loves.
The love of God, the fire of God, the purity of God are real. To us who behold him face to face, his beauty is incomparable and indescribable. In wordless adoration we pour out unuttered feelings of joy. But we admonish you upon the planet Earth whose hearts yearn to be fruitfully employed in divine service to recognize your great cosmic birth, the birth of the soul, the birth of identity, the birth of Christ-awareness in the gentle folds of divine Selfhood; for the mantle of God is over thee when thou wilt accept the incarnate Word. And whether thou manifest in masculine or feminine form, service can be rendered through thy vehicle and the solitary vehicle of thy consecrated life. There is no higher office, there is no loftier way than the way of expanding the kingdom of God upon earth.
In an age of materialism, when the bulwarks and bastions of the world are determined to keep active an entrenched system which has again and again exhibited the fallacies of humanity and the attendant failures of those fallacies, it is needful for many sons to come to a state of captivity to the mind of God not as slaves but as willing son-servants of his beauty and his kingdom. It is needful that ambassadors be appointed by heaven from amongst mankind presently in embodiment.
It is as great a boon today, as it always has been in the eyes of the ascended hosts for an individual to receive from the Cosmic Mother the gift of Life, the borned of her annunciation, that moves with swiftness from the heart of God into Christ manifestation in an individual's being. You cannot deny this reality; you can but affirm it with every action of your life, with every feeling of your mind, with every fiber of your being!
I infuse you this day with the annunciation that I gave to Mary of old: Hail! Thou that are highly favoured of God! The Lord is with thee and with thy spirit. Blessed art thou, offspring of the Cosmic Mother.
