In speaking to men and women upon this earth, even the Ascended Masters must be mindful of the vast differences in their consciousness. The levels of mankind's awareness are so varied as to be almost incomprehensible. The taint of what you have called insanity is a narrow margin indeed; for the buildup of the forces of negativity in the human mind, just beneath the surface dignity, is at times very great.
If we could aerate the mind, even as through harrowing the soil is sliced and turned and mingled with the air, we are certain that many among mankind who are now bound could go free. The tightly coiled spring of the human ego, painfully aware of itself, is unwilling to let go of the petty frustrations and problems it has tucked beneath the surface of life because them seemed insoluble.
Precious ones, if a problem cannot be solved momentarily, you need not suppress it by shoving it into the subconscious mind, where it will only fester and accumulate a mass of irritating energy that must one day be dealt with. Instead, take your problems upward to the heart of God where his great white-fire radiance is able to relieve your being not only of the problem but also of the possibility of future complications.
In the sacred writings it is clearly written, "Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after."1 Strive not, then, to be one whose sins will "follow after"; but bring them "beforehand" to the throne of the great intelligence of God in the heart of the sun and in your own I AM Presence. Call for the miraculous transmutation of all problems in your world as they occur. In this manner the cosmic computers will not be kept working overtime, not will the electronic impulses of the akashic records be found holding a debt of frozen energy as a sling and arrow of outrageous fortune that will one day be unleashed in your life.
It is not the will of God that even a little sparrow should perish. Why, then, will not you - whom God has so dearly loved that he gave you temporal life as well as the seeds of eternal life within - fashion your lives in his image, according to your best understanding?
There is no need for you to struggle. The light of the physical sun is a comfort to the smallest flower as it assists that flower in unfolding from a tiny bud into a blossom. Even so, God will help you whether you are a person of great sophistication, whose mind is so charged with worldly knowledge that you feel compelled to judge all things by the standard of men's opinions, or one lacking in knowledge and engaged in a struggle to understand life. No matter what the category of your consciousness, the consideration of the Ascended Masters is the same for all.
God is no respecter of men's persons,2 for all are equal in his eyes. Even the weight of karma or the burden of ignorance and superstition need remain no barrier to men if they will but relinquish the false ideas they have held and see in the universal Christ consciousness the perfect example of that which they may become.
Man has always striven to be the doer. He has thought that his life was his own. When he recognizes that it is God's life that is flowing through him, that this life is charged with universal intelligence and that this intelligence does not need to be told what to do but can be called upon to act, then his struggle with life will become less and less and the efficacy of his invocations to the will of God will be increased a thousandfold.
Won't you let go of the clash of opposing ideas in your world, of your fear that something you might do will keep you out of the light? Won't you understand that in this life, and even in past lives, many of your mistakes have been made in good faith? The eternal God, your own mighty I AM Presence, is no tyrant. God desires not to exert pressure upon your life nor even to force it to become better - for, deep within, your life is already manifesting the divine nature - but instead he gives to you the opportunity of invoking into action by your own free will the great reality-tides of your Presence.
Just as the tides of the sea flow in and out, so the tides of the Eternal Sun radiate in ever-recurring cycles. When the incoming tide of the great solar light pours into your world, it is God conveying his grace and gifts to you. When the tide goes out, it is a time for you to convey to him your gratitude and your desire to become a very essential part of him. Those who are eager to receive the light that is incoming, with its buoyancy, its joy, its power, often do not recognize the moments when life does not seem to be with them - when the tides seem to be against them - as the moments when God is asking them to send love and supplication in his direction.
Won't you accept these divine ideas from the heart of Helios? Won't you also recognize my role - as one who is called the God behind the physical sun - as I send my love into your world, to draw you together where you are in a state of schism, to bind up your wounds, and to teach you the way in which the power of love can be increased in your life?
Won't you recognize, as you respond to the warmth of the sun and return to the sun the radiance God sends forth, that your life can become an inspiration to others? They may wonder what it is that makes you unique and able to ride the boisterous waves of life. You may not, at first, find the exact words to tell the story; but if in their search you can start them on the road toward reality, hopefully directing each one according to his capacity to receive, you will be rendering the cosmos a service of great value. Life always pays her debts; therefore, as love is given, love is increased. All that you give away out of the bounty of your inner faith becomes a mounting incoming current.
Be not dismayed in the wane of cycles; for the pendulum will swing; and once again the eternal love-tide will bring immortality, peace, and joy to your hearts.
I long for thy light of perfection
To form wisdom's garment I wear
To cling to a sense of direction
Thy radiant answer to prayer.
The darkness seeks to surround me
With error's opacity shroud
But I am so glad that He found me
His glow of bright gold like a cloud -
Speaks of the vict'ry I'm winning
As faith takes my hand every day
The mortal involved so in sinning
Is lost in eternity's day.
The perfection of daybreak stays with me
The dawn fills my soul every hour
No shadow can mold me in error
For light is the fulcrum of power.
Each day is a day of perfection
When light on my heart-throne does reign
I ask in full faith for direction
Thy cosmic abundance to claim.
