Blessed Shepherds Who Seek to Serve and to Follow Me in the Regeneration,
As the period of peril concerning the Dark Cycle of January 18, 1969, approaches, our love and our desire to feed the lambs of God, to gather them together into the sheepfold, increase. There are many magnificent individuals on the planet who have offered themselves to God in service who do not yet understand that all of their substance, all of their supply, all of the abundance that they enjoy was bestowed upon them by God as stewards of cosmic grace.1
There is a wondrous need exhibited by mankind - like that of young birds in the nest who extend their necks and opened beaks to the mother bird as she comes to feed them. They are utterly dependent upon her loving attention and watchful care, and the same is true of the lambs of my flock. The Good Shepherd must provide for the sheep a full measure of his heart's devotion.2
I am come, then, to remind the mankind of this planet that regardless of the straining difficulties that exist between the religious sects - the unfortunate disagreements in doctrine and the promotion of hatred in our Father's name as individuals consider that they do God service to separate themselves from those who think not as they do - the question must be raised, What can be done about the separated brethren?
I remind you of my parable concerning the workers in the vineyard.3 Some who were hired at the eleventh hour received one penny for their labor even as they who came in at the first hour and toiled all day received one penny. The grumbling of those who came in at the first hour was answered by the lord of the vineyard, "Did you not bargain for so much?" And they said, "Yea." And he said, "You have received it. Take what is there and go thy way: I will give unto this last even as unto thee for it is lawful for me to do what I will with mine own." And this was followed by my statement, "Many who are first shall be last and the last shall be first, for many be called but few chosen."
If those who have a smattering of spiritual knowledge and dogma and a touch of devotion wish to abstain from the heart's love of their own divinity, to deny opportunity to others, and to speak disparagingly of universal harmony between peoples, we will indeed go out into the highways and byways and bring in the multitudes and the last shall be first.
There are many people in the world today who have had little exposure to faith in God. They have had little contact with religious doctrine, and they have had little experience with the things of the Spirit. Yet their hearts are anhungered and they, too, are sheep of the Father's pasture. We turn, then, not in desperation but in deeper love, to those who have long lived in error and in the stain of moral sin. We turn to those who have been enmeshed in the gambling marts of the world, in prostitution, in crime, in narcotics traffic, and to those who dwell under the shadow of the wings of darkness.
We call to the lame, the halt, the blind, and to all those who have need of our healing hands and we say, Come. The Spirit and the bride say, Come. Let all who are athirst say, Come.4 And let a new outreach go forth into the world bearing the tidings of truth. As Saint Francis taught the law of reembodiment in the public squares, so let us now have teachers who are willing to brave the censure of the merging orthodox movements that would unify all churches into one great church in order to intensify their power of religious control in the world.
Let us proclaim the truth of reembodiment to the world in order that they might clearly see that all of their infirmities and all of their problems are caused by disobedience to the law in the present as well as in times past. Let us remove from them the fear of religious persecution and the fear of an awful state of burning in a world hereafter and yet to come. Let us show them that it is not alone for the world to come that they should have fear and respect but also for the world right here where their own karma returns to them day by day that which they have sent out. Here the mercy of heaven holds in abeyance the overpowering karmic record which some do write - a karma which is more than most of them could bear. Therefore, the Lords of Karma mete out to them in succeeding embodiments that karma which requires balance, that which they have unjustly created. And this action is taken not in order to punish a wayward generation, but solely for the purpose of learning and instruction that through trial and error they may yet come to the full opportunity of cosmic sonship which God offers to all.
Let us show forth the meaning of the universal Christ. Let us publish, let us preach, let us teach, let us heal, let us illumine, let us feed the sheep of God who are hungry for the truth. Let those in all religious movements who can accept our call made in this day and age for the salvation of a planet and its people see the need to work together in harmony with the Spirit of life and with the ascended masters' octave.
Unfortunately, men have expounded upon the idea that we are not real - that the ascended masters do not exist. Some who have failed to recognize that God is within them have launched attacks against the metaphysical movements. These have not understood that aspect of the law which reveals that his kingdom, being within them,5 is also without and that as he lives in the microcosm, so he lives also in the Macrocosm. These do not understand how God has made possible the conveyance of hearts - communication between the octaves of heaven and earth through the great macrocosmic network of light rays, harmoniously blending throughout the warp and woof of creation. Neither do they understand the fact that when one part of the web of creation trembles, all other parts are affected.
Let men understand, then, that not by condemnation of one another will they succeed in rallying the congregation of the righteous6 but by the proclamation of truth as God has given them the eyes to see it. It is never wise to limit the eyes of others but to give to all the freedom you seek for yourselves, for the day has come when the expansion of universal law must be accomplished and the truth must be brought to the masses - "Feed my sheep."7
Today the communications media control the world. Were it not for the light energy, the cosmic electricities involved in the transmission of radio and television waves, the spark of electrical energy within the motors that turn the great presses of the world, and the universal energy imprisoned within the telephone, the teletype, the communication satellites, and all of the various forms of media, it would be impossible for mankind to contact one another.
At the present hour the mass media are controlled for the most part by the commercial interests of the world. Among these are the merchants of Babylon as well as those who are in the fold of the light. For there are just men in industry, yet the commercial aspects of media exert an overwhelming influence in the field of broadcasting and in the programming of radio and television time.
Do you think the power of free speech, of free press, and of free assembly is allowed in the Communist countries of the world? I tell you, it is in name only. Do you believe that Reverend Billy Graham could go to Moscow to preach the word of God? If they permitted him to come at all, it would be to exploit his name and to make propaganda to show their warped sense of freedom to the world. Do you realize that America, through creeping forms of control, is being headed in the direction of this same type of totalitarianism?
The political control of media has been sought and achieved by some in the denial of program time to individuals who seek the dissemination of ascended master truth. But they will not succeed, for the powers of the light will work through the students who realize that their future in the world not only now but also in the days to come depends upon their immediate backing of our projects with the necessary supply which God has entrusted to them. Therefore we know that the overcoming power of victory and of the light to help contact embattled, tumultuous mankind will be mustered here and now by the students of the light until no power can hinder or further delay the plans of the Great White Brotherhood for the incoming golden age.
We expect to see a miracle of Christ-victory brought out of all of the darkness and despair that has been created by the astral hordes and unleashed in the world at large. We expect that the truth of Christ-regeneration for every man will be expounded all over the world. We expect a sea of light to cover the earth above the mountain ranges.8 We expect the prayerful support of our messengers and the teachers whom we send forth into the world, and we expect the decree support of our projects and plans as well.
We expect that in every way unity shall prevail and that no power of shame or darkness shall further deter us from releasing cosmic truth to the world. Then shall every city, town, hamlet, and home bristle with the spiritual energies of cosmic electricities, and the mass media of the world will carry constructive, uplifting instruction to the youth that will enable them to grasp the cosmic principles of life and to understand the full meaning thereof.
Then they will no longer play with the dolls of horror and the weapons of war. Then will they cease their struggle to intensify the spirit of vain competition, and they will understand that man can compete only with himself for the overcoming of his imperfections. Then will they understand that cosmic law, the law of unity, of harmony, of the golden age and the golden rule must prevail and that by its prevalence abundant life will come to all.
I AM and I remain the Good Shepherd.
Yours for victory in the light,
