The tremendous waste in the expenditure of energy upon the planetary body can be rightly controlled only by those who know how to govern themselves effectively. If we are to inspire a world of rampant discord and confusion, it must be by the magnificent power of divine example.
Tall upon the hillsides of the world looms the figure of the Nazarene Master, serene and immovable through the centuries. While men have mutilated his image within themselves and while artists, under the direction of discordant energies, have created frightful distortions of images supposed to be like him, the diamond purity of his heart remains to the present hour a fountain of inspiration to a waiting world.
The great misconception fostered upon humanity for centuries - that the power of the Christ lies in mere belief rather than in emulation - is a tragedy that touches the hem of the Infinite. If there is any regenerative power in the Christ, that power is the gift of God for every man who will live by it. No belief that does not become both motivated and activated into imitation can provide a suitable unguent for the ills of the world.
As we have examined again and again the services of the avatars of light, the sons of God, who are periodically sent to the planet upon a mission of redemption, we see that in almost every case these blessed ones go unrecognized save by the few, until their mission is completed and they have risen to higher octaves. This has in no way distressed the blessed avatars themselves, although it often causes grief unto their followers who perceive in their messages and activities a panacea for world ills.
It is never the intention of the Indian Council or of any of the councils of the Great White Brotherhood to provide misinformation to mankind. We seek to clarify old errors and to act as wayshowers to all generations. Individuals should understand, however, that the doorways to their minds and hearts are fashioned largely, and certainly in part, by early training in their present embodiments as well as through the carrying over from past lives the qualities of toleration, motivation, self-honesty, sincerity, and the universal desire to serve the immaculate concept.
As we begin the summoning of the gentle yet dominant ones from all walks of life who will act in conjunction with the image of the Cosmic Christ to further our aims upon the planetary body, always and especially by providing a magnificent example to their contemporaries, we are reminded of some of the ancient historical moments when, sounding down the corridors of the centuries, the ringing tones of the words "Choose you this day whom ye will serve" 1EN were answered by the valiant.
We must, then, be frank with all of our students and followers, with all who read our words, and say in complete honesty to you that many who have the opportunity to hear our words, to read our words, to have our vibratory actions directed at them are like dilettante bees, sipping nectar from many flowers and not always thereby providing the honey of purity and sweetness. In the main, individuals who do not perceive the need for one-pointedness are often guilty of permitting their energies to go forth in many directions.
Now, we have a plan, a world plan and a personal plan, for each lifestream who will put his shoulder to the wheel and honor the burden of the law of Love. We cannot in one moment, even if the cosmic law would permit it, dip a sponge into the ocean of infinite purity and wipe the screen of mankind's consciousness pure and clean so that forever thereafter he will be able to see clearly. We require not one opportunity but many whereby our words, our thoughts, and our vibrations can reach into the world of the student, in the name of Christ's Love, and assist the student in preparing himself for the great Mission of his Life. This Mission does not always come at a given period when he may anticipate it. To some it comes at a very early age and to others much later. But whenever the Message comes, with it comes the desire for Purification of the Consciousness.
Men desire to rid themselves of old hates, prejudices, and frustrations. They seek to open the windows of the soul to the fresh breezes of the Holy Spirit. However, there is a tendency toward excess introspection which must be governed, for after all, blessed ones, you can only bite off as much as you can chew with impunity. Thus, leaving one's hands in the Hands of God and in a spirit of chaste obedience, the soul who seeks to do the Will of God is often brought into the Gethsemane Garden, where Communion with the Father is established as a Ray of Pure Light, descending upon the head of the supplicant Son who desires to serve the Law of Love and see that the Bread of Freedom is available to all upon the planetary body.
There is an earnest simplicity in that which We are bringing to you today, and it is a clarification which developed at our recent Councils. It does not matter what form of early training the errant Son may have had, as long as the desire today is to put away childish things, to set the house in order, and to expand whatever talents one has into many more, in order that Service to the Light be restored, regenerated, revivified, and expanded. In this Summoning, there is the desire only to unite the soul with the Presence of Life that loves the soul.
The exoteric body of world servers, communicants of The Summit Lighthouse endeavor and of all endeavors truly serving the Light, will naturally, in an exoteric way, gravitate to the area of greatest Service and Love. Therefore, the esoteric, the inner strands of Holy Oneness, must be woven with the Divine Presence, excluding the vibratory action of all that seeks to lift up the little self into a position of prominence and enthroning on the Altar of the Heart the Divine Presence of God.
Thus the pulsating badge of the Cosmic Honor Flame is called forth into action and the Divine Ideal expands without limit. As long as individuals are tethered to the idea of self as a separate entity, there will always be the tendency to go downward into delusion. When God and the Great Masters are recognized as Father-Presence and Brother-Servers of Great Light, Stars in the Holy Sky of the Body of God, there is hope that We can establish those links of spiritual magnitude which can serve to act as conductors into the world of form, of the Holy Energies of Freedom. These Energies, when ensouled and embodied, will invoke and evoke everywhere the responses that will change the world. And as in all past years, We stress that the world must be changed by itself or Nature herself will do it!
We urge re-examination of motive, renewal of Communion, and love in Service and a search for the Grace of God each day.
