O Children of the Sun, Bask in the Radiance of Thy God!
Self-imposed limitation bars man from effectively grasping cosmic principles and thus denies him access to the consciousness of the ascended masters. From the beginning the power of the Universal Spirit has sought to convey higher grace to all men. While man in many ages has earnestly sought to find deliverance from a host of problems and to unleash the secrets of nature within himself, he has also created a great deal of adversity by his self-erected barriers. These, being both mental and emotional, have prevented the great cosmic light from acting in his world.
We stand ready and willing to shatter the forcefield of human delusion and to create in the consciousness of practical men and women of today an awareness of the divine mysteries that will open the door to new possibilities for everyone. Long have men mocked the progressive revelations of science. Is it any wonder, then, that the science of the mind and of the Spirit should be lampooned by those who seem to derive personal satisfaction from imprisoning their cosmic-minded brothers and sisters in the earthbound molds which they first created around themselves?
Many deny the possibilities of extrasensory perception and the power of mind over Matter exhibited by the great fire-walkers whose bare feet remain unburned after coming in contact with the red-hot coals. Many suspect charlatanism in all of the various phenomena associated with the Spirit. Let us make clear that there are pretenders here, as in every field, but there are also those who are adept in the spiritual arts, whose hearts are wholly dedicated to the unburdening of humanity.
One of the easiest ways by which individuals can attain spiritual power is to believe that this power exists. I tell you that the power of the mind and Spirit is limitless! But I say, withal, that the law demands the circumscription of holy ideas and cosmic powers within a framework carefully constructed so as to avoid senseless clashes between those who are working for the same causes, even though their personal philosophies may place them at opposite ends of the spectrum.
When I say, then, that I AM Helios of the Sun, let it not become an alarming idea. It is written in your sacred writings, "Go to the ant, thou sluggard."1 And so I say, liberate your minds from the erroneous idea that you cannot learn grand truths from the lowest as well as the highest of God's creatures; for doth he not ensoul them all? Is he not the one "which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars; which along spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea"?2
I tell you truly that the intricate ideas piled up in the memory body of humanity often become an oppressive weight which does not give wings to the hungry spirit yearning to soar. By a like token, the dire threats that seem in the hands of impersonal nature to bode ill to humanity are only the accretion of man's personal inhumanity to man.
Therefore, when I speak of the vibrational storehouse, let it be understood that I am referring to the hatred and great harm which men have done to one another over the centuries. The pileup of this misqualified energy, often held back by a merciful nature, has in many cases even overflowed the banks of tolerances created by the Karmic Lords. The mercy of God endureth forever;3 but the balm of that mercy is released according to the love and grace individuals and nations reveal in their daily lives through their modes of living. Those who construct houses near the levees may be inundated when the time of the flood comes.
We are concerned that superstitions sheltered in the subconscious minds of spiritual devotees should come to an end. I refer to the altogether human attitude of fatalism which holds a controlling power over the lives of many today. For example, people become obsessed with the idea that somewhere along the line they have committed offenses against God or man for which they must be destroyed. The overpowering weight of this concept frequently holds them back all the days of their lives. Thus, they are captives of their own superstitious imaginations. Would it not, then, be a great boon to let these unfounded fears come to the surface and be immediately consigned to the flame for purification by the Holy Spirit? Think of the constructive use which might be made of these transmuted energies for the glory of God and the freedom of man!
I do not say that men and women are not accountable for their actions and that they may not merit destruction if their deeds be weighed. I do say that this mercy that endureth forever yearns to make men free from the weight even of his own karma. The acceptance of the Christ-identity of every man, by every man, is the means whereby the forces of freedom can sever the cords that bind the souls of men. The nature of God is such complete love and trust that beloved Vesta and myself long to see every man and woman manifest the image of complete trust, even as they endeavor to manifest that complete love which is the nature of the Father.
Of what possible value is the holding of fearful and superstitious thoughts over the years? Oh, won't you let go of these thoughts regardless of what you may have done to someone else in the past? Won't you trust the loving-kindness of God to exonerate not only yourself but also all humanity from the weight of their iniquities?
To this end the light of the Christ, the light of the Eternal Sun, first blazed into manifestation: to annihilate the darkness and to flood the mind and being of the creation with hope. Therefore, in order to enhance the value of the light mankind must welcome into their hearts the cosmic science, the application of the Christ mind, which the great Brotherhood of light also acknowledges and expands so beautifully throughout nature.
When you greet the morning sun you may lovingly say, "O mighty Presence of God, I AM, in and behind the Sun: I welcome thy light, which floods all the earth, into my life, into my mind, into my spirit, into my soul. Radiate and blaze forth thy light! Break the bonds of darkness and superstition! Charge me with the great clearness of thy white fire radiance! I AM thy child, and each day I shall become more of thy manifestation!"
Each day made better
than the day before
Each day made brighter -
thy light I do adore
Sunlight beaming
fills my soul with love
Sunshine streaming
flowing from above -
Helios' light from God-domain
frees my soul from error's pain
Vesta's shining Mother heart
shows each dawn as fresh new start.
One day I'll be free
Perfect love to be
Upward into light
Spirals' perfect flight
Into God-delight.
