Ours Is the Eternal Conquest

     Children of the Ages:

     Stretching the bounds of your imagination, you can reach forward into new dimensions. The individual, determined no longer to succumb to the unfortunate pull of human sense thralldom, seeks new contact with his own Higher Self. As has been said, one speaks of angels and hears the rush of their wings; for even when the consciousness is engrossed with outer darkness, the inner Flame continues to burn, silently opposing the entire weight of man's human creation by its own forcefield of cosmic clarity.

     Some men seem to forget that when they have given their all to the moloch of human greed and hatred, they cannot by wishful thinking instantly reap the greatest cosmic experiences. Many times throughout the millenniums Heaven has issued her own mandates with scarcely a response from human levels; but the moment individuals begin to turn toward God, they expect the heavens to literally fall upon them and to shower them with such love as will wipe out all activities of negation in which they have engaged.

     Let them understand that while Heaven has love for the prodigal son of creation, that love is tethered to the Reality of Cosmic Law. Although Life peeps through the lattice work of man's consciousness, affording him glimpses of his Higher Self and the promise of those experiences that are to come if he continues faithfully upon the pathway, Life does not immediately expand the fullness of a new sense of direction simply because man wills it so. Let humanity, then, learn the ritual of patient service as they turn toward the Light.

     Let the devotees awaken to the realization that there are many levels of human expression, just as there are many levels of divine expression. Many people say, "We have our ups and downs." Practically speaking, you cannot expect that the elevator of your consciousness will remain stationed at one floor simply because you would like it to. One could say that the elevator of the Divine Consciousness is capable of descending to those sub-basement levels where many souls are reaping the ashes of human experience. And, certainly, the elevator of the Divine Consciousness is also able to rise to the highest levels of divine experience. This means that you can rise to the greatest heights as well as descend to the depths of human expression and still remain within the protective forcefield of the Divine Consciousness. But, wherever you go, the practicality of all good that is in store for you is to be found right within the domain of the human spirit, as though it were freshly fallen from the spheres of Heaven in full-blown God magnificence.

     When man begins to bring out this glory from within, it is like the cutting and polishing of a gem. The lodestone of perfection, like the gem in its rough state, does not reveal its great beauty, its lustre, its splendor, until the cutting and the polishing are completed. Then at last it magnifies the wonder of the highest spheres in which a new Heaven and a new Earth appear. The influence of these spheres is real, not only in the outer stream of events but also, and most especially so, in the inner stream of man's own consciousness. Here Cosmic Law registers the very moment that man allows it to by surrendering conditions of hindering darkness and by careful obedience to its precepts, thereby creating within himself the matrices of personal victory.

     Out of ignorance, many among humanity refuse to surrender their consciousness to the higher powers of Light; nor will they hold their tapers to the torches of Heaven for divine illumination. Instead, they love to contemplate what they call their own free will - as though the Heavenly Will were distinct and separate from the human will. In reality, the patterns of the human will are changing, and the satisfactions of one moment may become the dissatisfactions of another. This is why mankind should be interested in finding out what the Will of God for them really is.

     Men say that they prefer the sovereignty of their own free will. How true it is that they are making the choices. How true it is that while making the wrong choices that appear to them to be right the wonders of God are passing them by. And the fleeting pleasures of life that turn to ashes are a temporary palliative, a chimera shimmering in the ethers of the moment.

     Ours is the eternal conquest; however, the infinite cycles are not unrelated to the conquest in the world of form. Man was not created to be a puppet to his own or another's negativity. He was intended to bear the torch of higher wisdom on Earth as a part of the eternal quest. By overcoming outer conditions, man loses nothing, but becomes the recipient of the vastness of the Universal Mind of God.

     Down through the historical stream men have often sought to make their conquests in the world - by climbing mountains, by sending rockets to the moon, by biological experiment, by psycho-political control of the masses, and even by evolving new standards of technology and social action - as a substitute for the glorious inner realization of Christ-Reality, which is the only basis for positive change. "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."1

     Man should not overlook the invisible yet wondrous domain of the soul that to many is a realm of the unknown. Simply because the soul is not a visible manifestation, many believe that the soul does not have a real existence. Yet, what is it that dwells in the body which is called life? Is it not that level of divine awareness that humanity borrows and claims as its own?

     When mankind denies the existence of the soul, what shall we do, we who dwell in the higher levels of awareness where Reality is crystal clear? Shall we say to them, "You are right," when we know they are not, when we perceive all around us the glow of His eternal wonder, and the grace of the eternal comfort reaches out to us from the center of Life? I think not. But how shall we convince humanity, who cannot see in the good fruit of human endeavor the reality of the soul and its potential for even greater things?

     Beloved hearts of Light, many souls who pass through the veil find those answers in the realms of death that they never found while they were living; for there new perceptions are at last unveiled. Others find themselves trapped in astral pockets of which they had no conception while they were in physical embodiment. When this occurs, regret ensues; and before long they are yearning for a physical body, for a new life opportunity upon the planet Earth. But the portals of birth may not open immediately in response to their plea.

     The schoolrooms of Earth are many. The experiences to be had are myriad. The graduates who qualify for the highest octaves are few. We have never remained content to allow the Earth to drift as a hapless experiment in the solar system. Already we have marked vast allotments of cosmic energy for the planet Earth in 1971. We have magnificent teams of conquerors who on other systems of worlds have shown their efficiency in dealing with mortal stubbornness and who, in answer to your prayers, will function as a body of Light reinforcements to the planet throughout the coming year. These Great Cosmic Beings have even volunteered to remain beyond that period as long as they are welcomed by humanity. Thus, on behalf of all mankind, you can literally put out the welcome mat through prayer and invocation to the Invisible Cosmic Servers who have pledged to make every effort to develop in the classrooms of Earth the greatest response of all ages.

     Karmic events may seem clouded; some unanticipated troubles may occur; but we are certain that every benign opportunity that can be directed to humanity will be forthcoming in 1971. We ask the faithful, then, to hold high in their consciousness the concept of cosmic regeneration for the Earth and to recognize that on a planetary as well as a personal level they are truly their brothers' keepers.

     We have been summoned by the Solar Lords to assist you in the high adventure of instructing the humanity of Earth in the correct ways of fulfilling their own God-design; therefore, I say, let it be done! Let the deterrent forces be cast aside by a giant whirlwind of the Holy Spirit! Let new vistas unfold out of the cosmic diorama locked within the souls of men, until at last the hopes of the world are filled and the powers of Light are secure in their own domain.

     I speak to those who look and to those who listen to the voice within; I speak to those who stop the destructive spirals of life and stand ready at the portal of the year to become as little children and to learn the mysteries of God.

     Long have many waited for greater Light to all humanity. Now in the midst of darkness, let the torch of Eternal Life shine upon mankind's face.

     For progressive and expanding grace unto humanity, I remain

The Goddess of Liberty
Spokesman for The Karmic Board
