In a world of change, man seeks the changeless. The flowers that fade were once beautiful. The falling seeds speak of promise. Out of harshness and misunderstanding are tenderness and wisdom born.
Men lament their transitory nature, but let them understand that the very nature of the transitory (the fact that it is subject to change) makes possible the way to light. Those who climb to the stars on ladders of light should understand that until their feet have left the highest rung and they stand upon the star of light's attainment they remain in transit.
Movement is the universal power of the Great Central Sun magnet as it draws men through the processes of nature and spiritual evolution toward a higher goal. Let individuals learn to discard feelings of struggle and involvement in sense consciousness. This too shall pass. But while it stands and acts upon man, it is the pressure of new opportunity; for out of the old is born the new, and the body of corruption that puts on the body of incorruption1 is also the dying seed that in giving its life makes possible the true and abundant life.2
Saint Germain has spoken frequently of the immortelle, of never-fading flowers. Like never-fading flowers, the permanent body of man - his luminous body of light - is the eternal hope that, rising in the human heart acting as compass needle, enables man to chart his course over the troubled seas of life. And the seething of discord, the seeming triumph of the temporal, is as naught once the race is run. To cast your anchor beyond the veil means to fit yourselves for progress. Recognizing where you are and where you are going establishes contact with the higher way and enables you to come up over discordant conditions because your anchor is already cast into the goal-fittedness of the master's plan for you.
Let everyone understand that there is a divine plan for each lifestream and that this plan is beautiful beyond description. It is like a golden glowing rose saturated with light, each petal pulsing with the power of momentary renewal as the divine heartbeat surges out from the center of the universe, from the source of all life, into monadic expression anywhere and everywhere.
Life is God extended
From center-beginning
To peripheral ending
Of delusions, blending,
Confusion sending,
Authoring a missive
Of giant storytelling.
Flower-telling, selling hope,
Dispense the new,
A greater view of purpose.
While you're here,
Remember I AM near
To free from doubt and fear
And old elements of wasted effort,
Of blighted severance
From universal reverence
That moves each Man
By light beams from on high
To where the glowing image from the sky
Reveals the real and helps to heal
Each fracture of immortal intent,
Applying love's cement
To bond the soul to wholeness,
Reveal the fullness
Of the master plan.
Incongruent congruency,
Life expands from hope to hope -
His glory to us spoke.
From the farthest star and flower-center,
To the heart of consciousness does enter
Glowing firmament on high -
Seed eternal,
Breathes your flame so nigh,
Supernal wonder,
Folds unfolding
In the starlit radiance
Of the rose I'm holding.
Now then, when the passions of your heart seek to burst the bonds of reason and of judgment and you know, blessed ones, that the act you contemplate will bring regret, fear not to deny yourself - your little self - and to build a giant image of your Higher Self that will project itself upon the screen of accomplishment before the Lords of Karma.
Men will come to judgment, one and all. But the judgment that they should fear is not the judgment of a day but of each day. For it is not at the end of the road that men can act to remedy but as they go - as the days come, as they are dispensed, then can correction be made. Now - while you abide in the world of form, while you have the blessing of consciousness and control and astral forces are relatively dim to your consciousness - learn to control your character by keeping the faith, the flame, the law, the love, and the mastery of your being active and determined to overcome.
We did not say it was easy, for it was not easy for many of us. But to us it was the only way. The glowing light of universal reality may have escaped us from time to time and the enticements of the world seemed entrancing, but we had to reverse the process as you must also do. And if you will let go and cease the sense of struggle, it will help a great deal. "My Father worketh hitherto, and I work,"3 referencing the eternal Christ, shows that the power of the abundant life that is above you is striving magnificently within you to outpicture the higher image that you long to express.
The mockery of the world, its sullen power of overlordship that seeks to intimidate you by the opinions of friends, neighbors, relatives, and employers, has no power. Unfortunately, many of these are as the chaff blown by the wind.4 They are not yet compassed to any reality. Nature means to them little more than a commercial exhibit - so many hogs to hang on the scales, so much meat to be butchered, so much flax to weave into garments, so much feed for dumb cattle fattened for the marketplace, so much iron for plows and swords, so much labor to be bought and sold - of human bondage.
This is not life, it is strife. We will not allow it so, for we will hold to the realm of cause. We will uphold the laws of universal love. We will set before you the example of the Cosmic Christ. He has said, "Who touched me?" for he perceived that virtue had gone out of him. The woman came forward with fear and trembling and said, "I touched you, Lord."5 Shall man, then, approach the divine with fear and trembling? It is better to so approach than not to approach at all. Yet the son of faith knows that the Father's love is his inheritance. He knows that nature and all of it, God in all of him, is his to command when he has become worthily aligned with the universal plan.
This plan in glowing reality is framed right within the fire of the heart - the heart of purpose - the fabric of soul substance upon which God would engrave worthy acts. There is no need, then, for men to continue in fear, in struggle, and in the palliation of their own passions. Feelings when negative or obdurate stem from an inversion of the Holy Spirit's ray. The ray of the Holy Spirit is the ray of the abundant life, the Shekinah glory that descends into the cupped chalice of every man's being suffused with the reality of God. Aborted and turned upside down, this ray becomes the energy source of restlessness and the tides of many misadventures.
Reverse your course! Learn to be karmaless, to be free from stain or sin, to be free from the need to give pain to any, to be dispensers of reality in a world of ersatz technicality.
Is it not true that the technocracy of the world has created a cornucopia of doodads, of thingamajigs, of passing fashion? The fashion of the divine never fails. It never loses its luster. It enables man not only to reach for the stars but also to attain them. The glow of the Rose of Light that you behold is not my body or being, it is the glow of your own soul, of Christed hope, of pure delight.
In the consciousness of reality and of God, there is no break with one another. Everyone whom you have ever served and to whom you have given energy is forever tied to you, and you are tied to all who have ever given energy to you. For the bonds of love can never be broken, and it is God's will that in the mystic circle of the lives you contact you should spread the wonder of his love and grace. If you give, you cannot fail to receive. The law will return full circle to your life every beautiful thought you send out.
As you send out thoughts of beauty through the years to come, if you call unto me, I will try to convey to you some of the divine reality of myself in its musings upon the life here and the life hereafter, for these are one. Life is unending. Without beginning, it can have no ending.
With faith in your immortality and the immortality of all, I remain
