Invoke the Holy Spirit and Receive Its Blessings:
And now I heard the cries of the little children of all ages, of all races, of all karma, clamoring for unity with the Spirit but calling the Spirit by other names. I see the banner of harmlessness paraded by those whose hearts and hands are soiled. I watch as the men-stealers corrupt the minds of those who have waited long for rebirth and reorientation in the world of form; and I say to those men and women of good will whose hearts have been touched by the divine afflatus, whose consciences are not seared by the meanness of mortal men and mortal mind:
Respond to perfection! if for no other reason than for the beauty of example.
Men ask, "Why?" They cry out for knowledge; they perceive and know in part; but the beauty of the holy citadel, the place where the Holy Spirit dwells, is seldom contacted by them. Instead, comes the ego, asserting its tendencies, its desires, its stain and its masquerading; until at last, as the sifting of men is being carried out, even by the higher power within themselves, we say: they know not what they do, and in blindness and conceit they remain the destroyers of one another's destiny.
Let it not be so! Rather, let all lameness and all meanness be healed and turned into the way of the children of love and peace. Love and peace work no ill to one's neighbor1 or to oneself. The masochistic tendencies now prevalent and spreading in the world also act to destroy. The venom of retribution that men inflict upon the self, as well as others, is one of the great harms, while dishonesty of heart that maligns others for the errors of self denies the balm of cosmic healing to the soul and in its place affirms confusion.
Now the banner of light illumines the sky, but for those whose eyes are covered by the cataracts of self-deceit there can be no clarity of vision. The healing fountain of the Holy Spirit abides in its great tie with the Lord of all. The unity of his heart is an onrush of grace, manifesting in the unity of his hand. Men and women can be the hand of God. They can be instruments of beauty, even as they are instruments of his example; and the beauty of example is paramount among the needs of those children who cry out for help.
And what shall I say of the millstone that is now being hung around the necks of those who harm the little ones2 of God through pornography, dope and sex education when their tender minds should be reaching up to the love of the Holy Mother and her wisdom that guards against anger and selfishness? We see the purloiners pockmarked for future cripplings and maimings of consciousness, which will surely manifest even in their physical bodies as the result of their disregard of the laws of God.
What the world needs is more sacrifice at a time when the many are closing their ears to the voice of conscience and of the Spirit. How beautiful, then, is the healing fountain of the immaculate concept; and how wise are the men and women who strive earnestly to hold this pure thought for themselves and for the little ones who have been placed in their care.
"All past errors you have made, blessed ones, are only recordings of memory; and the way to healing is through his grace." These are the words of the Holy Mother. Therefore, as the representative of the Holy Spirit, we urge you to accept the love of infinite forgiveness and to hold the immaculate concept for yourself, that your whole being may become embellished with the crystal-white radiance in consciousness that forgets the things that are behind and presses forward to the things that are before.3
Every glow of infinite destiny that you permit and encourage to manifest in your world becomes a star of hope to someone who gazes upon your feet as you either walk straight upon the path that leads to your freedom or stumble upon the stones which are being cast in the pathway.
The Maha Chohan welcomes the opportunity of investing the devotees with the pure white robes of the Holy Spirit. Is the divine merit of this vesting a figment of a vain mind imagining vain things, or is it a tangible reality, beheld not by humanity but by God and rewarded by him exceedingly? He joys to give to men and women whom he has created the blessed expansion of the soul that in its boundlessness reaches out to the music of the spheres and the glow of infinite colors, to the harmonization of heart, and to the miracle of the resounding voices of angels. As he opens the doors into the magnificent temple of reality, the soul turns its back upon vanity and deceit and beholds the Great Shepherd of souls as the giver of all good gifts.
Open the door of your heart! Create a chalice and fill it with the Holy Spirit, who descends even now with his peace through the sunlit air!
