Children on the Ladder of Light's Attainment:
The process of initiation is a continuing one for all. Some fail to realize that even a babe is not bereft of God. A lack of sensorial development or mental maturity is no indication that the soul does not comprehend, through the light in the window of being, Life in its infinite ranges. The never failing Light of God posited within the Heart Flame of man always knows and cannot be deceived.
Human attempts to explain the warp and woof of the universe according to mortal, mechanical concepts are understandable; but they do not afford the opportunity for clear seeing that is needed before the initiatic system can be meaningful. Therefore, those who aspire to the initiations of The Brotherhood probe beyond a mere surface rationalization of the causes behind the effects which they observe in their physical environment.
The lessons of life are learned in two ways: through the gathering and storing of data by the outer and inner mind, and by the assimilation of knowledge through the eyes of the soul at conscious and subconscious levels. As the result of both methods, the individual may, at intervals in the time stream, find the net gain of his soul-tutoring coming forth on the surface of his consciousness with profound admonishment. Thus the process of enlightenment goes on whether or not it is recognized as such by the conscious mind. We cannot decry this process nor do we fail to encourage man to study to show himself approved unto the living God.1
The callousness of those concerned only with the gratification of the senses is indicative of their emotional immaturity and lack of understanding of the larger concerns of Life. Those who are concerned with the mandates of the Almighty are also concerned with getting on with the purposes of Life. They do not wish to experience further delay and the frustrating dalliance of a purposeless existence. Their discontent - the hallmark of true progress - is almost an aberration in the eyes of the world. They are restless of soul, eager to find the answers they seek, and not unwilling to place personal peace last and divine knowledge first. As their Wayshower said, "I came not to send peace on earth, but a sword."2
I think also that the knowledge and light of Truth may easily become a lash to the outer man; yet we know without question that the outer man must be conquered. For man is a dual being: he is both human and divine. Thus the purposes of Life are calculated to inspire men to forsake the former and to engage their attention with the latter. Some have spoken out against this view as an impracticality. Well, it seems to us who have attained, by the grace of God, that man is impractical either here or there, in heaven or on earth, in Spirit or in Matter.
Can we not seek, then, for our unascended chelas that perfect balance of body, mind, and soul which we outpictured, that they may bring into the realm of mortal affairs the practicality of the Spirit that enhances the quality of life for their fellowmen as well as for themselves? Can we not also expect that they might bring at least an equal amount of their God-given genius to bear upon the process of attaining that spiritually natural habitat in which they will ultimately dwell in the foreverness of God? Must humanity totally neglect the things of the Spirit in order to complete their round of mortality? I do not think so. If they will maintain the proper perspective between the human and the divine, they will certainly devote a reasonable portion of their lives to acquainting themselves with that wondrous realm of God-delight so totally foreign to many who yet dwell in the veils of time.
Now, we have observed that the things of the Spirit are becoming of increasing interest to mortals, and by their explorations they are raising themselves and the world to a new step in cosmic initiation. Meanwhile, unfortunate devices of cruelty are being employed to promote bigotry, prejudice, and misunderstanding among men. Racial tensions stirred by agitators accomplish little good in the world, while the fruit of a just understanding and the fair and intelligent examination of every problem confronting the children of God produces the miracles of faith that enhance the brotherhood of man and the building of the kingdom of heaven upon earth.
Whereas the Fatherhood of God is obvious in higher realms, the permeation of His love and intent could also be seen in lower realms if man would will it so; yet humanity must have patience if they are to fulfill their destiny. It is haste that construes so much evil in the world - haste, and man's failure to take an impartial viewpoint when Good and evil must be adjudicated. Because right methods are clear and easy, wrong methods need never to be used; yet they are. While men may decry situations not to their liking, let them remain spiritually unmoved midst the disturbing panorama of world events being used to produce fear, division, and economic imbalance across the globe.
Among the initiations the planet is currently passing through is one similar to that which humanity faced both preceding the destruction of the planet Maldek3 and during the period of the last days before the Flood. This test involves the employment of the creative genius and power to the glory of God. In the aforementioned epochs scientists engaged in genetic manipulation and the creation of animal forms that took into account neither spiritual law nor the existence of The Karmic Board, thus aborting the cycle of fulfillment that always follows the correct use of divine opportunity.
Man's attempt to alter the structure of the DNA molecule and thereby gain control of the human embryo is not new; successfully accomplished in past eras, it may be achieved once again in this age. When respected and rightly implemented by wise men of divine attainment, this feat of science will present such marvelous possibilities to the race as to appear miraculous - albeit all miracles are the demonstration of natural law. However, the great danger in such discoveries lies in their misuse by corrupt men who, while playing God in the realm of Matter, neglect to play God as they ought in the realm of Spirit.
The possibility of failure, individual or collective, in the spirals of initiation is not to be taken lightly. If the planet as a whole is to pass victoriously through the tests of this age, religion and science must go hand in hand, the one providing proof for the other in this time of advancing cycles. The kingdom of God that is within you4 is the foundation for the successful pursuit of the initiatic process at the individual level. And only through initiation, first at the individual level and then at the planetary level, is the miraculous sense of the divine restored and retained within the human consciousness under the guidance of the Ascended Masters.
Our services are yours. We offer them to you and to those among humanity who will believe in our existence, in our sincerity, and above all, in the sincerity of God. Thus, together we hold the balance, the health and the sanity, of life waves moving on to perfection through the grand initiatic process of the Father of worlds without end.
Devoted to His service and to the service of the Universal Son of God, I remain confident of your confidence in our purposes.
Bolts of blue lightning descend from the heart of the Great Central Sun into the earth - into the heart of the earth! I, Hercules, decree it this night, that the earth shall not be the same again. For I have come with legions of blue lightning from the heart of the Sun. And they are ready; they are waiting; and they are most willing to manifest the will of God in the hearts of all mankind - to expand it in the heart of the atom, to call to the rocks to quicken the hearts of elemental life, and to say: The hour is come for the fulfillment of the will of God upon this planetary home, let the chips fall where they may!
I, Hercules, have come with legions determined to brook no interference with the will of God upon this planetary home, and Amazonia stands with me focusing the power of Omega as I stand in the place of Alpha. O mankind of earth! Receive the blue fire of the Great Central Sun and know that the hour is come for the dividing of the way. To the right or to the left mankind shall fall; and the sword shall rend in twain the garment; and the Light of God that never fails shall determine whether man shall be immortal or no more.
Precious hearts of Light, do not fear; for when the blue lightning descends, it is an armor of protection, a bulwark to those who have served their God. And to those who have not, it is instant and swift destruction; and they know no more. ...
Immortal sons of freedom who have come with me bearing the violet flame and the angels of the violet flame: Descend now and prepare the way for the coming of the sons and daughters of God in embodiment into the Light. For we will wait no longer. We have taken our swords of blue flame this night and we have shattered the density of human night. I say, it is done! And I, Hercules of the Sun, have come to quicken in you all your divine plan, your mission, and your blueprint for life. ...
O precious ones, blue lightning is not to be tampered with. Blue lightning is the holy will of God. And if you expect to find salvation, you must become that lightning - you must invoke it; you must will it; you must hear it crackle; and you must understand that wherever you go - before you, behind you, to your right and left, above, beneath, and in the center of your very Heart Flame - there blue lightning fire goes with you. For you are living in a time of great density, when there is a requirement to shatter and consume! shatter and consume! shatter and consume the astral muck and debris through which you must daily walk and breathe and move.
I say, my legions are ready and stand with you; and they will not be moved! They will not be moved! They will not be moved until the hour of your victory, until the hour of the victory of the planetary home! I say, then, call to them wherever you go and do not forget that you require blue lightning to survive in this world this day; for without it your Light will be smothered. And when you have cleared the road with blue lightning, then let flow the holy fires of freedom! Let them flow! Let them flow! Let them flow by the power of Hercules, by the power of Arcturus!
For we have made a pact this day; and we have sworn before the altar of Almighty God eternal, eternal, and I say eternal hostility against every form of tyranny that besets the minds of men. Wherever the blue lightning is invoked, Arcturus has pledged to follow it with violet flame; and wherever the violet flame is invoked, I have pledged to follow it with blue lightning. And so a braiding action of the first and the seventh rays of Alpha and Omega shall take place until the earth is truly the Lord's and the fullness thereof! ...
Precious hearts of Light, there are millions and millions and millions of Cosmic Beings and hosts of Light who are determined that this planet shall manifest the Golden Age and ascend victorious. Therefore fear not, for the hosts of Light upon the hillsides are far greater than all the enemies and mights and armies of the world, which have no power against the Lord's hosts. Therefore I say unto you: Invoke them! Invoke them without ceasing! For upon your invocation depends the salvation of this planet!
We are here. We cannot enter in unless you invoke. Therefore invoke! Invoke and accept and expect the indomitable, invincible Christ-victory of this planetary home! The time has come for fulfillment. It is done! I, Hercules, have spoken!
