Doubt, Debris, and Deleterious Concepts

     From the Heart of the Great Pyramid of Life, I Speak to You Who Have an Ear to Hear: By the Flame of Your Own God-Reality, Consume All of Your Doubts of God and His Emissaries Sent by Him to Save Your Soul, Then Enter the Halls of Luxor and Behold the Flaming Science of the Ascension

     Standing now at the portals of reality, we wish to dispose of one vicious human concept which has deposed many an individual from the throne of grace and has swerved more devotees from the path of righteousness than any could outwardly conceive. I refer here to the manifestation of mortal doubt concerning the reality of the ascended masters, the reality of the Great White Brotherhood, the reality of our outer endeavors, and even the reality of the individual seeker.

     There is a doubt that is born of pride which causes individuals to shrink from anything which they at first deem to be unprovable. This doubt dispels faith, throws the consciousness into a state of trepidation, elongates confusion, and terminates the fruit of faith. No man wishes to be the victim of a hoax, and his personal pride tells him that unless he is wary he may very well be. Thus the sophistication of earthly reason overrides the great tangible realities of Almighty God which dwell in the invisible realm and are functional in all outer manifestation.

     The wind blows and men see it not, but the manifestation of its effect is everywhere apparent. I do not presume that by a mere wave of my hand those who do not believe in my reality will suddenly be transformed into true believers. I choose solely to cite the law, to warn most sternly, and to reveal the treachery of this enemy of faith. Without faith it is impossible to please God; and therefore with faith and by his grace all things become possible, for "he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."1

     It is lingering doubt that has lurked in the dark folds of human consciousness to become the seed of infection, spreading as a cancer throughout men's consciousness to their own destruction. Again and again doubt has robbed men of the birthright of their ascension and of all the divine happiness which the Father has desired to bestow.

     In the name of common sense and reason, beloved seeker for truth, what is it that God has asked you to do? What is it that the ascended masters have asked you to do? Is it to tear yourselves away from the little games of life for a moment in order that you might view our thoughts and ideas? Is it to drown yourself in a sea of perdition or a gulf of confusion? I tell you, nay! It will always be your spirit of acceptance and your own nourishment of the seed of faith that will determine whether or not you can have the fruit of striving here and now as well as in the hereafter.

     In reality there is no past nor future. There is only the present moment which elucidates from the hearts of the faithful the response of an uplifted chalice. It is God and God alone, through the hand of every ascended master, every angel, every chela of the light, and every soldier of the cross who desires to fill the chalice of your waiting consciousness with all of the gifts, graces, attunements, and measurements of a cosmic brotherhood of light beyond compare.

     At times the Great White Brotherhood stands as a silent sentinel in the world of form, and yet the multitudes do sense the presence of this sentinel of the Most High God. Now and again they view it as an avenging angel that seeks to punish both church and state for those errors which are unthinkable in view of the nobility of life that has been made manifest in the true culture and progress of the world.

     The present outpouring of vicious hatred between brothers the world around, manifesting as warfare and wanton murder, bears witness to the lack of influence which the major religions of the world have had upon the people. Men's motives and acts bear testimony to the fact that in all the times that have passed, that which has endured is the paltry manifestation of commercialization. Did not the Apostle Paul clearly state, "The love of money is the root of all evil"?2 Behind the screen of the manifestations of war, then, are always the corruptible gains which men who cover themselves with the veil of sanctity often put forth in complete denial of the virtuous claims they make for themselves.

     If the world does not soon awaken from its lethargy and communion with error, if it does not soon break through into the octaves of light and the realm of the ascended masters to perceive cosmic truth, the awful charades in which men now engage themselves will culminate in a holocaust of frightful destruction.

     We are giving out our Dossier on the Ascension at this time in order that the faithful who receive it and transmit it to others may have the benefit of our thoughts, our feelings, and our release of the ascension flame into tangible manifestation.

     We have much yet which we plan to convey of inestimable value to every seeker for self-unfoldment on the Path, but the debris must be swept away and the current problems disposed of. Men need not fear one another, for worldly men can but kill the body whereas the life of the soul is in the hands of God.3 But we are, it is true, concerned with the life manifestations upon this planet and the opportunities that are being presented to them spiritually.

     In every century the passing travails of the world have been most difficult for those who have been embroiled in them. But the way of escape to every man is the path of the ascension, and this is the gift of God to each one whether men realize it or not. The reason so few in every age have come to us here at Luxor in their spiritual bodies, as well as physically in some cases, is because the ritual of the ascension is the final initiation whereby an individual may earn his freedom from the bondage of the flesh. Freedom from the bondage of karma can come only when the law of cause and effect has been fully worked out. Jesus himself revealed this law when he said, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away" and "neither a jot nor a tittle shall pass from the law until all has been fulfilled."4

     I have had laid upon my heart, before I could further reveal the greater laws and mysteries of the ascension which this dossier is intended to convey, the almost brutal fact that I must dispose of some of the deleterious concepts of men before I can expect to give the full advantage of the current offering unto those who read.I urge, therefore, that all will pause to consider the motive behind my release. I want neither purse nor person. My only desire is that you should imbibe the nectar of the Divine One, transmute your difficulties, and find release from earthly bondage. I do not propose that men unascended should seek an escape from service but an escape only from those things that hold them in bondage so that when the trump of victory sounds for them it will be an ascendant victory.

     There are many who have come close to the portals of the ascension who have been turned back by reason of some of the matters I have discussed in this and previous releases. Even the physical senses can be vehicles to the Divine; and therefore the keen and observant mind should never repudiate the existence of the Deity, of the soul, of the invisible Brotherhood, or of divine opportunity on the basis of either the reasoning intellect or the testimony of the senses. For it is all here. It surrounds the world. It is a swaddling garment of great light. The unperceptive see that which they wish to see while seeking to disprove, by hasty decisions, the glory of the ages that they do not yet dimly perceive.

     I urge upon all the weight of cosmic consideration. Ponder the manifestations of life that are shown to you through the avenues of your physical and spiritual senses. Ponder whatever God has given to you of glimpses of the Infinite. Realize that something cannot come forth from nothing and that Infinite Mind has created man in order that he should expand his consciousness toward the mark of the Infinite. The finite is but a leap across the chasm of a blind reality to the security of the domain of actualized proof. Men prove the law by doing the law. They see truth by becoming truth. They ascend by faith and not by doubt.

     Out of the depths of the infinite wisdom of God and from the heart of the Pyramid of Life, I have spoken. Let him who has an ear to hear, hear.
