A detached view of life's situations can be most helpful in finding the key to solving both personal and world problems. Personal involvement frequently creates hidden tension, which is not recognized even by the most astute; this tension acts to prevent the full play of infinite grace within the individual and the development of his capacity to understand and amend erroneous conditions within his world. The admonishment, "Physician, heal thyself," would almost be satirical were it not for the fact that man can work changes of attitude and action right within his own world in order to appropriate for himself the glowing fervor of God's own healing rays.
All may safely conclude that the Great Physician, the Lord Christ, the immaculate concept of God, the eternal Counsellor, the Wonderful Prince of Peace, the Star of Hope (also known as the Star of David), is the only begotten Son of the Father, the Light of Christ-intelligence which sheds its beams across the pages of the ages right into the personal domain of every man and woman who can and will open the doorway to his own heart of being and receive the light of the Infinite One through the inscribed "Christ arc of the eternal covenant."
Enigma may be observed in the divine manifestation, but not in the divine intent. It is indeed the "Father's good pleasure" to give man the kingdom, for the allness of the eternal purpose is intended to be made known! Much of the inherent mystery in self and cosmos is either protective or interlocked, and sometimes it manifests as a combination of both. In my use of the word protective, I reference the secrets of the universe which can only be imparted to the individual who is a safe depository for the immortal secrets, one who would not use the power of universal knowledge to harm his fellowman or to divert the purposes of God from their full manifestation. The "interlocked" secrets of the universe resemble mighty historical and scientific works which are adroitly placed within the libraries of life. It is true that some wisdom is needed to search them out, and thus they are inherently interlocked within the fabric of time and space, available for the great adventure of discovery which is every man's right.
Men ought not to be overly concerned with those secrets of the universe which are under the protective custody of God and the heavenly hosts, but those who would demonstrate wisdom in her many facets ought to be willing to devote some time to introspection and examination of their own motives so that they can clearly see those which are selfish and divest themselves of these hindrances to spiritual progress. Strange as it may seem, selfish motivation acts to call a halt to progress at a certain point in the game of life. There is only one way to escape from such stultification, and that is to remove the obstacle by removing selfish motivation from consciousness. Without introspection, individuals may often move on in the great stream of life and time, perpetuating their own errors and wandering in the wilderness of self-delusion and self-desolation.
The Promised Land, abundant with fruit and flower, is one in which the verdure is developed from the great eternal springs of Christly manifestation. Each man on earth is intended to be one for whom the desert will bloom as the rose. It is ever unfortunate, when individuals become so shortsighted as to fail to recognize that they are the keepers of their own gate to progress. Thus, the accent on cosmic illumination for this year must be understood as cosmic necessity for all who would progress in the light.
The sacred gift of freedom, which is the right of every man, must be esteemed as being appropriate sauce for the gander as it is for the goose. Frequently, people offer to others a different set of rules than they desire to have used for themselves. The golden rule for the new age is one of inviolate tenderness which affords every part of life the just heartbeat of divine opportunity. No shallow-pan consciousness is the ascended masters' realm. Our stresses and amplifications revealed herewith are for the admonishment of those who seek to come out daily from the pits of error into the light of a new day, reserved not for themselves alone - yet certainly not denied to themselves - but intended to manifest as a radiant cosmic unity for all the earth.
Be not dismayed or affrighted, then, at the portal of any day, for the divine intent stretches forth to cover them all and the bastions of freedom have never been permanently breached, nor indeed can they! We stand with you in your resurgent desire never to capitulate, but ever to conquer victoriously all that deters you from the full manifestation of the victorious law of your being, the law of eternal life.
For light, for power, for love, in freedom I stand!
