Gracious ones, the fact that mankind have imputed power to evil has scheduled many a mishap which could have easily been avoided had they recognized the instantaneous power of God as being always at hand, ready to deliver men from every form of evil. There is no need to establish a reservoir of negative energy in order to balance positive energy, precious ones, for the world abounds in sources of misqualification that have been humanly created. The requirement of the hour is always the positive attitude of victory over all that is less than the perfection of Almighty God.
Affirmations, when properly used, have their effect even when individuals are not aware of the internal bulwark of protection which they are building. Your own mediator between God and man is your Holy Christ Self, who ever stands by your side to reinforce the action of your Divine God Presence as its mighty light rays flow down the silver cord of cosmic energy, beating your heart and supplying your body with the sustaining power of Life itself. Not only in body but also in mind and soul is the impetus of the light seeking to shake you loose from all that is not of the light.
When mankind place their attention upon evil forces, whether they are aware of it or not, they always suffer as the result of this acknowledgment, for where one's attention is, there one's energy goes and if it be upon conditions of misqualification, then these are brought into the individual's world in proportion to the intensity and duration of the attention span. I cannot stress enough the need to understand the purposes of life through right action. The Holy Spirit has provided mankind with the energy of action which, when supercharged with divine qualities, is the means of establishing for all time a garment of light substance which will serve to deflect all arrows of mortal hostility sent against the armor of the righteous.
However, beloved ones, do not think that complacency can become your lot, and that you will automatically walk through the pearly gates, simply because you desire to escape from the machinations of the world. There must be a consistent application of self-effort, as well as application made on behalf of your brothers, in order to make you worthy of receiving the benefits of the karmic reservoir of spiritual protection which has been long established at inner levels for all those who serve the light.
It is needful for mankind to examine themselves from time to time, most particularly their propelling motives. It does not take long for you to say to yourself, "Why is it that I desire this particular thing?" If it does not conform to the pattern of the Divine One of your mighty God Self, it is far better for you to discard that desire before it has taken root and attained, through the accretion of energy, a stature that is very difficult to ignore. Pain and heartbreak can often be ended before they begin simply by the use of that Christly discrimination which God has given to you in the interest of self-purification and God-attainment. It is never easy, from the human level, to cast aside the many alluring trinkets and baubles which the flesh has fallen heir to, but through internal commitment to God and a readiness to do his will, mankind will often find that the substitutions of heaven, in the form of blessings descending most unexpectedly, are far superior to the little traps which they often so unwittingly set for themselves.
In the name of your freedom, precious ones, we urge all, in this day and age, who would establish the pattern of Christ discipleship for themselves, to understand that the law is most exact in its demands. Individuals are often prone to excuse themselves for their lack of discrimination, but expect to find in others a wealth of this Christly quality. The fair attitude of mind that recognizes that evil is no real part of any man will assist you, one and all, in honestly appraising what is acting in your worlds at any given moment. Thus, through the establishment of internal fortitude by honesty of heart and purpose, mankind will acquire the discrimination to assist themselves in any matter, as well as the wisdom to assist their brothers and sisters in finding escape from the treacheries of sense consciousness.
It is most difficult for those whose minds are fastened upon human ideals and the historical sense, being frequently almost completely wedded to name and person, to relinquish the many facets of mortal intelligence in favor of that which may seem to them to be quite frequently a mere mist of obscure thought. Men who seek the bounties of heaven and to unravel the mysteries of life must be patient with themselves that they do not destroy the gentle, spiritual aspirations which give rise, at first, to a multitude of questions to which there seems to be no answer satisfying to the soul or person. As in taking a journey to a far country, men cannot expect to receive the full reward of the journey during the more arduous efforts of travel. They must understand that only in the city of the blessed does the full reality of the reward at last come home with its harvest for all effort.
The Great White Brotherhood cannot stress enough the need, then, for those who embark upon the spiritual path to be not discouraged in well doing and in interior correction, for the weight of glory of the cause of freedom is beyond the span of mere mortal life. Yet, its rewards are not erstwhile, but frequently come, as I stated before, in moments of such beauty as to shatter the shell of mortality for man and give him glimpses beyond himself of that which God has prepared for all those who love him.
We who espouse the cause of liberty for all men would offer ourselves even beneath the feet of mankind as carpets upon which they might walk if it would satisfactorily convey them to the place where their own freedom would manifest. The Great Law has not required this, and yet we have offered our energy through the ages, as a solid foundation in the cause of holy freedom, not only to the family of nations, but also to individuals of distinction and to the humble as well. Our Brotherhood seeks only the blessedness of progress for all who would penetrate the veil of mystery that surrounds life and its purposes.
We will never forsake those friends of freedom who have stood with us, "through thick and thin," as you might say. And if at times we seem lacking in the sophistry of the world, just know that in the cause of spiritual diplomacy we have written at times in the vernacular of the plain and common man, and then again in the most stylized, diplomatic form. It is not the form of the release that is most important, precious ones, but it is the form of mankind's acceptance, for those who receive the vibratory action of the ascended masters of light, those who feel the great tides of our love and the assistance we steadfastly pour out, will find, as they gather more and more of the invisible substance of higher octaves, that mighty doorways of light open to them and reveal to the waiting heart the most precious little mysteries which are stepping stones to the greatest mysteries of life.
As your friend of freedom and in the holy cause, I admonish you, then, to stand fast and see the salvation of God which shall surely come to pass as the many place their shoulders to the wheel and the Great Law fulfills the release of the mightiest efforts for the cause of freedom that the world and rolling centuries have ever beheld.
