VARIANCE creates disturbance. Variance is the stones of change. Variance is the disturbing stones thrown in the pond.
Waves of thought and feeling prevent the true reflection of the Real. Life does not mirror the will of God but in its place reveals distressing conditions.
One can control only the mind of self and the feelings of self, but one should ever remember that in a universe throbbing with the pulsations of the will of God the victors are many and their vibratory actions should be recognized.
Many peer instead at the myopic gray ones whose environmental concepts amplify the discord generated from or projected into their own worlds.
Morya speaks. We advocate the amplification of the will of God, for "the will of God is good."
The affirmation of this childlike statement over and over again is the means whereby the mind can be stilled and the mounting crescendo of human emotions diminished.
The will of God is the thunder of universal love. It is the strength of the right arm of the Almighty. It is the fire of his devotion and the best gift to his children.
There is safety in it and the strength that fashions security for the ages and beyond.
The manvantaras and the pralayas1 may go forth, but those who cognize the will of God as the first vibration of his magnificent love will not be moved by the chirping of crickets, the boom of cannon, or the threatening ones.
Fear assaults the will of God, but the calm knowing of infinite love shatters the opaqueing conditions that scream from the minds of the depraved.
How long can they endure without the fire of the holy will? They steal light and energy, for they have lost their own. The children of the sun are their innocent victims, but not for aye.
Now come the wise ones. These are the peacemakers that are called blessed.2 These are the children of God who understand the strength of the holy will.
In the Great Forever, in the beginningness of all things, God saw light and he was light. Out of his light went forth the beauty of loving purpose, and in him was no darkness at all3 nor could there be darkness there.
This was the inviolate will of God - the same yesterday, today, and forever.4
The knowledge of good and evil, of duality, of the temporal and opposing factions that were within the range of the free will of the person - these came forth first as possibility and then as the looming shadows of karmic violation and disobedience to good will.
The tenets of brotherhood were clearly stated in the golden rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."5
But each violation produced its correspondent blot, its stain upon the page, and the Lords of Karma spoke: "This departure from the law of Good is but a repetition of the voices sent forth unto discord."
But there was an overthrust, a compulsion of the will of God, that sought to teach by the chastening of the law, thus to avoid the repetition of error.
The necessity of the will of God was clear. But while perfect love casts out all fear, for fear has torment,6 what should be done for the impoverished ones, those who had lost their perfect love from the beginningness of God?
"Let them at least," said the Great Ones, "understand that God chastens those whom he loves,7 and that he continues to love out of the bounty of his forgivingness."
Thus the will of God toward forgiveness was born in the consciousness of man. It was a step toward the regaining of perfection; for as men understood that as they had sowed so should they reap,8 a desire to have perfection arose within them.
This desire to return to perfection through grace became the second corollary of the will of God.
Now the children of men who had erred saw the need to correct the error of their ways and thus be restored to the old boundaries of perfection - the perfection of perfect love.
The children of the sun, who came forth bearing the white stones from the Temple of the Sun, evoked the mightiest response possible from the hearts of men; for in the hearts of men there was also a residual memory of the olden days when the elder race communed with the living God.
Forgivingness, they saw, was eternal grace and the fire of purpose. Forgiveness, too, was the will of God. Thus the desire to return to perfect love flashed forth anew.
"Consider the lilies of the field; they toil not, neither spin. ..."9 The cadences of the Master's words were dripping with the fires of that perfect love that is his perfect will.
It is necessary that we establish in consciousness the concept of origins, for the majority of men's thought processes are patterned after the swing of the mind - to and fro.
This pendulum motion, often stemming from the restlessness of men's emotions, is part of mankind's struggle for that identity which has already been bestowed upon them.
But such movement can only swing men away from the peace of God and from his love.
Let men who would discover the will of God realize that it is already a part of the universe; that the universe, in the macrocosmic sense, is already the perfection of God; and that each star, each cell, and each atom was stamped with the divine image.
The words "Thou shalt have no other gods before me"10 show the necessity for the Godhead to counteract the travesty of man's acceptance of fiats of imperfection. These have been issued by lesser minds and by the deceitful ones who are self-deceived.
The will of God that is good is naturally good. This goodness is inherent within nature, within the mind of man, and within all systems that were created by God in the Beginning and which he sent forth to do their perfect work.
"Be ye therefore perfect, even as your heavenly Father is perfect."11
The desire for perfection is a natural manifestation of a perfect God shining behind his perfect manifestation, but all that which proceeds out of imperfection is against the divine nature.
The will of God is a security beyond belief, beyond faith, and even beyond manifestation, for it is the solemnly beautiful beaming of the tenderness of the Father's care for his creation.
Left undisturbed and permitted to express the elements of their cosmic identity, individuals would see themselves leaping into the arms of perfect love - the perfect love of God.
And the flashing of their divine identity would enable them to overcome all of those elements of the appearance world that have for so long distressed them.
And so the dream, the "impossible" dream, becomes the reality. And all that man has thought to be real, insofar as his own relationship with the universe goes, is seen as a chimera - a shimmering illusion that comes from misqualified energy.
In its place, in the place of the mirage of carnal identity with its shifting sands of manifestation, the reality of the Christ identity is seen as the will of God.
What difference does it make that there are opposing forces?
The forces of Light are more dominant, the forces of Light are greater, the forces of Light are complete and eternal. They will stand when men are but dust and their present thoughts hollow echoes in the chambers of memory.
Let men understand that it is not the Father's will that they should perish but that they should have abundant life.12
When we begin to examine the great thoughts of God and the great will of God, when we begin to examine how great God is, we must see that cardinal to his greatness is the abundant life, the life that is eternal.
It is fear - fear of death and fear of illusion - that has caused some men to fail to hold themselves in that state of consciousness wherein the will of God could manifest through them.
They need to understand the very naturalness of cosmic purpose: God is life.
They are manifesting temporal life, but they also possess, here and now, the seeds of eternal life in the very essence of the soul which God has given to them.
The flaming Presence that directs them from above, their beloved God Presence, "I AM,"13 represents the fire of the will of God; and the will of God includes within itself the all-chemistry of cosmic purpose. Therefore, each department of life is brought under the direction of the central purpose of the will of God.
What folly it is that individuals feel separated from the will of God, as if they could not know it! For his will begins in the simplicity of a child and in the simplicities of nature.
It is so natural and sweet that in their sophistication men often lose its tenets. The pathway to regaining it is the pathway the Master Jesus taught: "Verily I say unto you, except ye become as a little child, ye cannot enter in."14
The result of becoming as a little child is rebirth, a being "born again"15 into the consciousness of the kingdom of heaven.
And I assure you that the will of God will teach you to expand your being until from the tiniest little seed, like unto a grain of mustard seed,16 you shall become a tree of cosmic purpose identifying with the divine will.
What thundering concepts are captured within the simple ideas of faith, hope, and charity!
Forward we move into the ever-expanding light.
