Unto You Who Would Walk in the Footsteps of the Masters Who Have Transcended Karma and Reincarnation - the Scientists of the Spirit Teach the Law of Self-Transcendence
As the fig tree puts forth her sign so does the dawn of Cosmic Prescience in the Divine Aspirant manifest the signs of the Divine Appearing within the human monad. There are gusts of Hope, laden with the balm of summer and the portent of good things to come, yet men must stabilize the consciousness during the time of testing.
The deviations from Perfection occurred not in the flash of a moment but, in most cases, they were the result of a gradual weakening of character, less and less acceptance of responsibility and the desire for mortal ease. Just as flabby muscles occur from a lack of exercise, so do the Spiritual Senses grow dim when the loud outcries of a maddening world are heeded affected by mortal doings.
Men pay respect to science for they feel it has brought them "the good life." But without the scientist of the Spirit there would be no Life whatsoever upon the planet, and all would dwell in darkness or in the shadowed state of groping even for physical sensory perception. The lumens of the Spirit have softly caressed the darkness and pushed back the shadows as the Will of God which is Good has magnified His Purposes for His Created Sons.
Men lament the pains and sufferings occasioned by their own karma. But what of those karmaless Masters serving in Hierarchy Whose Hopes are blighted again and again by unresponsive men? These are asked to stand as bulwarks against the hordes of mortal, shadowed substance and to intervene for and on behalf of mankind; whereas once men have received the little satiety of lesser purpose for which they crave, they sometimes quickly turn again from the Light and immerse themselves in darkness as though their hopes lay within the turmoil of the world.
We ask Ourselves at Inner Levels, "Is it because they doubt, and when they are convinced, is there no permanence to their conviction? Must they be reassured again and again as to the Reality of the Octaves of Light?" What more shall I say than that God hath wrought the miracles of His Perfection which are the momentary and eternal Perceptions of the Ascended Masters' Consciousness?
Ours is a forte of Immortal Rejoicing, and the trumpetings of Our Hopes echo even over the human sea. Men speak of Serapis with awe and reverence. They honor El Morya and the thrust of Power. They "oh" and "ah" over the Beauty of the Consciousness of Paul the Venetian, but where are the Legions of God upon Earth and where are the staunch ones applying to Us today for Initiation into the highest steps here at Luxor?
Returning again to the Science of the Spirit, let Me release Knowledge whether or not there are any to hear, to appreciate, to appropriate or to revere. When men fail to progress it is always because there is imbalance in the Threefold Flame of Life. The Life that beats your hearts is a triad of motion, consisting of tripartite Energies. The Holy Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, of Body, Mind and Soul, of thesis, antithesis and synthesis, of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, of Love, Wisdom and Power, is also the Pink, Blue and Gold of Divine Consciousness.
The Will of God is a predominant third of the whole, but lacking the Wisdom of God, the Golden Illumination of His Supreme Knowledge, even Power is stifled of action; and without Love, Power and Wisdom become but the brittleness of self-preservation. The balance of the Threefold Flame creates a pattern of the Ascension for all.
Dominant emotions are controlled by Love and by the Power of Love in action. Because the wisdom of men is foolishness with God, they perceive that not in the psychology of the world but in the balance of the Energies of the heart do men bank the Fires of the Ascension against the day of their victory. The furnace of Being, heated white-hot, must needs manifest the colors of the Sacred Fire and the coil from the serpent's nest rise upright, being lifted by wings of Faith, Hope and Accomplishment (Faith, Hope and Charity) until the Christ-Man is enthroned in all. This is a scientific victory of the Spirit.
Not without precedent was this Universe created. No idle experiment was behind the program but the ageless Wisdom of the Infinite Creator Whose Purposes are dimly perceived by men of lesser vision. Emotions controlled by Love in balance with Wisdom create a sharp etch of Power which Life cannot resist. Progress stems, then, from attunement with all of the Triune Aspects of God in perfect balance.
Blessed ones, if your tendency is to excessive study and the feeling of egoistic wisdom, gleaned from the world's storehouse of knowledge, remember that with all thy getting, unless thou hast Wisdom, thy knowledge is but a tinkling hell or a clanging cymbal. And if the Love which thou art manifesting is a love in expectation of return as a dowry from the beloved, thou art not cognizant of the Will of the Great Giver, Whose every desire is to give the Allness of Himself unto the Beloved. If thy Power is as a flood or a raging fire which covers the mountains and the plains, or consumes that which it seeks to benefit, thou must then master Holy Wisdom and Holy Love that thy Power may be within the reins of the Trinity of Balance.
Classification is not so complicated as men imagine. The opinions of the mental body concerning the self, the overly-protective aspects of the emotional body which often expends itself in beating the air as Don Quixote and his windmills, the strenuous appeasement of human physicality as the satiation of every human desire and thirst is placed above the Spirit, the flagellation of the self by the memory body as self condemnation mounts over a trifle, all take their toll of human happiness while defeating the Divine Purpose.
Men must summon the Energies from the Heart of God that teach them, by communion and friendship with the Divine One, how to govern the three and fourfold aspects of Being until the seven bodies of Man manifest the Sevenfold Plan of Perfection according to the Law of the square and the triangle. Then the Cosmic Circle of Life remains unbroken and the triangle within the circle becomes the symbol of personal victory. The Circle can be placed within the square and form, then, becomes comprehensible as a schoolroom of the Spirit and the place of consecration where the omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence of God becomes a reliable forte for the ascending soul.
Your consciousness is a priceless tapestry. Each day you weave upon it a motif of the Spirit which is forever, or a jagged pattern, in a relative sense, which must be meticulously disengaged and rewoven as heaven intends. We are staunch and We remain the friend of all who earnestly, honestly, seek to serve our cause and to find their freedom in allegiance to universal law which is universal love.
In the sense of divine commeasurement,
