Beloved Portia, the Goddess of Justice - February 19, 1967

Vol. 10 No. 8 - Beloved Portia, the Goddess of Justice - February 19, 1967

     "I Deem Cosmic Justice to Be a Rock!"

     Love promotes wisdom, for wisdom teaches man to love. The layers of mortal creation, builded ignorantly in each lifestream, darken man's concept of the justice of Universal Love. Out of the depths of mortal ignorance men cry, "There is no God,"1 and echoing back into their ears is the piping futility of their vain cry.

     How beautiful is the concept of faith in the law of Love. How great the law of justice when justice is seen as the immutable hand of God, weaving patterns of such intricacy as to be seldom perceived by man in his limited sphere. Self-limiting concepts encase man as in a mold of silt while the fragile beauty of reality, riding the crest of identity within the very being of man, seeks to surge forth and wash away in a torrent of light energy all the darkness and appalling sense of ignorance concerning the justice of Almighty God.

     I have long considered as to how it could be possible that I might relieve some of the awful tensions which are so prevalent upon earth. In the homes of the world even little children agonize in the outreach of their understanding as they seek to know where justice is. They ask themselves not "Is God dead?" but "Is justice dead?" and "Where is reality, purity, and the fixed, immovable quality of a law that can be depended upon?" Is it not right that not only the children but also all men should have dependence upon the Rock of Ages?

     Let me tell you, blessed ones, that I deem cosmic justice to be a rock! And it is a rock of great dependability when it is recognized as existing behind the facade of man's strange thoughts and peculiar sense of aborted justice. Let me say to all men everywhere, there is never any need, regardless of outer appearances, even to contemplate the idea that there exists injustice anywhere in the universe.

     Granted that mankind do perpetrate upon one another that which seems to be acts of injustice, how do men know that the same injustices which today are practiced against them by their fellowmen were not practiced by themselves against another in past times? And even if the individual were found to be free from the expression of this quality of injustice in the past, is it not possible that the mettle of a man should be tried by the ignorance of others as a measure of strength to himself and as a means of testing his qualifications for higher gifts and graces? Is this unjust?

     Is it unjust to provide avenues of progress for men? How shall the very excellent qualities of divine grace be tried except in the world of outer action where the ignorance of men causes them to react to the virtue and justice of others, thus building strength in the elect who should rightly consider the whole matter?

     Those who desire to escape from the barbs of frustration accompanying the concept of world injustice will do well to heed my word. A lifetime of freedom from the wrong sense of divine justice can be yours if you will only momentarily dwell upon the words I speak, put your attention upon me, and call unto me as the love of God is surging from my heart in order that you may be stripped of your fears concerning divine justice.

     There is never any injustice anywhere in the universe, for the moment error or discord is introduced into the strata of mankind's thoughts and feelings, the jagged lines of force which these produce are retarded in their penetration of his world; for upon contact with the light of God that is within the atom, this vibration (that is out of harmony with the universal atom) is thrust away from the white fire core by the natural seismic activity that returns the "fault wave" of man's disobedience to the law back to the surface of his world. There, once again, the tremor introduced by mankind himself cuts loose to vibrate in the atmosphere until it has spent its discordant energies and has no longer any power over form and substance.

     While I have used analogy and hyperbole, let me hasten to assure all that faith must be generated in yourselves about cosmic justice and maintained at all costs. The moment you begin to waver in your feeling world and to suppose that there is an injustice in the universe, you open the door to dense negative substance which comes in and fractures the calm of your being, producing all of the terror and destruction which you have seen as a fissure in cosmic substance.

     There are no fractures, fissures, concepts, or ideas in the mind of God that are unjust. The beloved Father wishes for the son the highest good, and each son of God should wish for all upon earth and throughout the bounding universe that good which God is.

     While we are on the subject, blessed ones, let me assure every lifestream who reads these words and all upon earth that the moment you make an appeal to the Karmic Board to take command of any given situation which may be troubling you, that appeal is always answered.

     In the name of heaven, blessed ones, how could any among our beloved chelas conceive even for a moment that an appeal would not be recognized? We do not say that the answer will always come in the exact manner you might prescribe, for God often disposes of that which man proposes2 in a more virtuous way than men might have the capacity to recognize at first.

     Behind the screen of what may seem to be a very unfortunate happening, individuals often find in the end that there is a manifestation of improvement. In any case, God's divine justice is always accurate. This is the reason why no son of God or any individual upon the planet should ever foolishly seek to retaliate upon another, for either real or fancied wrongs.

     From time to time individuals become imbued with the idea that this or that person is persecuting them or in some way doing despite to their personal selves. Many times, these are only projections of negative energy directed into the forcefield of the God seeker in order to obscure the Christ image from before him and to distract his attention from the law of his being. In other cases where there is no projection involved but rather the direct malice of another, always remember the Master's way, "Father, forgive them; for they know not (they are ignorant of) what they do."3

     Be comforted, then, in the knowledge that God's love has produced God's justice, even as God's love has produced God's wisdom and his power.

     All the attributes of the Deity are always perfectly and harmoniously balanced. Therefore, when you "think on these things"4 it assists your own forcefield and consciousness to let go of the frustrated sense of mortal justice and to replace it by the abundant sense of universal justice everywhere present. While the mills of the Gods may seem to grind slowly, as has been said, they grind exceedingly small.5

     There is no detail to which your Presence will not attend, for the whole is made up of a multitude of components, and the sum total of those components produces that divine wholeness which is your spiritual identity. Therefore, God is concerned with each jot and tittle of the law, that it might be fulfilled in the light of his beautiful sense of reality and justice.

     Know, then, that I AM your sister and exponent with Saint Germain of freedom from fear through the law of Love.
