To Those Who Would Align Themselves with the Forces of Righteousness:
The divine plan seeks implementation. Men and women of the Spirit who call upon the fires of purification should realize that the purposes of purification are to ready the soul for spiritual victory and for the divine plan fulfilled.
It is difficult for men and women, separated as most of them are from the power of true spiritual vision, to understand their seemingly appointed lot. The wheels of karma turn; and the sweet and innocent, by reason of inward training, elect to hasten the day of their salvation by accelerating the balancing of personal karma in their final embodiments. These often pick up the threads of their negative karma that have been mercifully held in abeyance in order that they might render a greater service before the day of reckoning. Having made good use of their opportunities to mount up the good karma of deeds well done, these souls are anxious to pay their final debts that they might obtain "a better resurrection."1 Often their contemporaries stand aghast as the karmic lash descends, and they cannot in their wisest moments understand the functioning of the universal law as it pertains to their loved ones.
No one should fear the outworking of karma, good or bad, for the law of retribution is always just; but heaven pity the man or the woman who falls into the toils of the traitors to the divine plan. You have heard of the war between Michael and Satan.2 You have heard of Armageddon.3 You are witnessing daily, even now, the flood of events that is the finalizing configuration preceding the golden age of peace and enlightenment. Wrath trembles in the cup; and those who should fear do not, while those who have nothing to fear, fear.
Let us reverse the cycle and proclaim the victory of the light! The carnal mind continues to seek refuge in a series of paper defenses that lack validity. Now we say, "O warriors of the Spirit, build mountains and reservoirs of faith for the days that are ahead; for the children of the light must become the children of the light of wisdom!" It has been said that the children of darkness are wiser in their own generation than the children of light.4 This means that they know more about the things of the world than the children of the light know about the things of the Spirit.
Let all understand clearly the need to seek holy wisdom and to promote the study of spiritual truth, not with a view to enhancing the old crusty momentums of the misguided and the misguiding but rather, as mariners of wisdom, let them chart their courses according to spiritual ideals.
The deceits that are practiced in the world today, which are intended to make puppets out of humanity, cause them to scoff at truth and at the things of the Spirit. They laugh, but their mirth shall be cut short. Their boldness comes from those archenemies of righteousness who themselves believe and tremble5 but would tutor mankind otherwise. They create reservoirs of intellectual defenses for the doctrines of atheism and agnosticism. They spawn doubt, fear, and all manner of lies; they create confusion and spread it abroad, but their end will surely come.
As you approach the citadel, then, let it be with rejoicing. "Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world."6 The unholy alliances that have deceived many among the youth, that have sought to encase mankind in the mustiness of orthodoxy centuries old, and that even today seek to forbid the heavenly manna from being placed before the children of men are but cutting themselves off from life and truth. They will pay to the last farthing for their evil deeds,7 and short-lived will be their cavorting in the enemy's camp.
Surely the goodness and mercy of God can be seen in the glory of the sun, in the cycles of nature, and in the perfection in life. Surely the honest of heart can discern the unreasoning face that seeks to spread mischief abroad in the land and in the world. The psychology of the Spirit sweetly and simply reveals the law as the arbiter of man's destiny and as the fruit of the sowing of righteousness.
Gazing now at the great conspiracy of darkness and at the network of evil that is spread everywhere, gazing at the multiplied pain and anguish that these have caused humanity, gazing at the egoistic struggles of the separatists - those who bid for fame and, according to the Faust legend, sell their souls to Mephistopheles - we say to humanity, how long will you linger in the toils of the wicked? We would also caution all who practice witchcraft, black magic, hypnosis, or psychic domination, all who ally themselves with darkness because they do not feel worthy of the light; and we would recommend that they make haste to reconsider the path they have chosen, for it will never lead them to the Real.
Remember Milarepa, the great yogi, and his life story. Indeed it is better to be a gatekeeper in the house of God than to be a prince of darkness, for darkness will cease; and all who follow it, all who pursue it in its many ramifications that lead from the narrow isthmus of self to the colossal conspiracy of the legions of the night will be ultimately dragged down by their own debauchery.
We are concerned, then, with the building of an impregnable tower, a spiritual fortress that shall be forever a rock of the ages. Standing on the promontory of time that juts out from the eternal shores, this tower of faith must first be builded within yourselves. All must create a healthy vision of spiritual possibilities not only for their own lives per se, but also for the humanity of this earth; for the heart-pangs of the race are multiplied by worldly entanglements, by wars, by the density of human deceit, and by the network of human greed that would make merchandise of men.
Replace all of this by light! Seek peace and pursue it, but understand that the price is high. Understand that your freedom must be maintained together with your faith. We have secured many a grant from the Karmic Lords for and on behalf of freedom to mankind this year. The invisible workers are mightily aiding in the fight against inequity, shadow, and shame which are being used to hide the light of the Christ on a world scale. And the need for all to rally to the cause of the light is pinpointed by the rise of darkness and by its proliferation.
The children of the dark seek always for authority. They seek for political control, for ecclesiastical control, and for monetary control; and in all things they seek to master and not to be mastered by any. What we should call universal justice is far from their minds, but the Karmic Lords hold it ever in mind; therefore, the light sustains the momentum of freedom which you are generating even now through your prayers and decrees. The rulers of the darkness may not be complacent; but little do they know how many people love justice, mercy, and truth.
We shall continue to uphold these virtues in our daily visualizations for humanity. We shall continue to trust in him and to look for a restoration of the old boundaries when the gods walked the earth and the spirit of Eden was abroad in the land. Men foolishly think that the borders of their lands were allotted according to an historical epoch with which they are familiar. Let us remind you that the age of the earth is far greater than humanity have reckoned, that countless civilizations have had even greater scientific advancement than your own, and that there have been periods when the spiritual laws of the universe were used by ascended and unascended masters to assist the evolutions of earth in governing the planet according to the laws of love, wisdom, and power. That these days shall come again is inevitable, but the time shall be decided by the hour of the victory in the battle.
We are preparing at this very hour blessings of great magnitude for you all, and hope is far from dead. In his overconfidence, the enemy shall find that he has overstepped his bounds. The people of the world are sick and tired of destruction, of excessive greed, of the fostering of hatred against races and nations, of the spread of the religions of darkness, of witchcraft, and of the perversions of the natural life that are recurring now upon the planetary body.
The little children of the future must be given an opportunity to learn the laws of love. And if they are to learn them, it must be through your hands. The traitors must be exposed. Those who have proclaimed peace and liberty but who have secretly sought to bring sudden destruction upon humanity shall emerge from their sheep's clothing as wolves8 which they indeed are.
Let us ask the powers of light and illumination from the Great Central Sun to dip into the fires of the will of God and, by their attunement with his will for this earth and its evolutions, to give mankind the wisdom to discover the deceits of those who would confiscate property and subvert the laws of the land which are in keeping with the laws of God. Let us ask them to expose those who would dominate the free will of the sons of God. Let us ask that the deceivers be made known to the consciousness of the masses, that they may learn to repudiate them swiftly and not to be deterred in their spiritual search by the activities of these few children of darkness who have risen to positions of power.
There shall come a great stirring this fall, and it shall mount feverishly; for we are determined that this sweet earth shall remain the Lord's and the fullness thereof.9
In the confidence of your continued response to his holy will,
