Hearts Waiting in Hope for the Appearance of His Will:
The pillar of hope keeps alive, encourages dynamism, opes the mind, and lends constancy to the spirit!
It is not enough to aspire: the energy drains must be plugged. An act of will invokes the Heart of God. Man's supply of gettingness is proportionate to his givingness. The banner of our Light given so freely to all is most costly. The expansive format we advocate is one of spiritual formlessness.
Those lacking the constancy of the tall pines which remain fixed for generations, those who, like potted plants, prize their mobility and above all their freedom to prescribe their own form, may one day find that the earth itself will deny them.
Those who abide under the shadow of the wing1 perceive that idle chatter murders spirits.2 We need lovers of selflessness. We have spoken of the raising of the banner of the Lord as though it were a fait accompli. Circumstances that tether man to reason can, when rightly directed, assist the soul in avoiding the senseless delays of innumerable squabbles.
Hearken well! Hearken well! Hearken well! Those who listen may learn; but the inner ear of the spirit attuned to Deity extracts the most virtuous juice. The removal of tarnish need not be deplored; for the fire of polish, by virtue of its chastisement of the molecular structure, reveals the presence of a certain free energy. Wise is the individual who exchanges discontent for content as he exchanges content for discontent.
The universe is a place of opposites, and unfortunately man provides his own best opposition. To cry, "Stop, thief!" when one is filching one's own energy is a mistake. Instead, explore the best possibilities; perceive the nature of energy and its right use. We cannot condone its abuse, for the energy of the world is the Lord's.3 Those who tie into it often say, "It is our own act; it is our own choice; we do as we will." Let them understand responsibility. So by judgment shall men grow - not by judgment of others, but by judgment of themselves.
Morya warns: The day of reckoning is at hand. Those who know not shall be judged with those who know. And who shall say that either ignorance or knowledge shall provide excuse before the Lords of Karma? Judgment cometh swiftly, and the casting of aspersions is the work of the dark ones. The purposes of Life are glowing ones. Shining like the sun, they dazzle the eye and make us to cry, "Surprise! Surprise! - Affinitize!" Men seek for Heaven and then do not recognize it when it appears before them.
While God provides a continuous loop of consciousness, the immature seek the loophole of escape. Both responsibility to Life and moral law provide the graceful curbing of illicit desire. "What a pity," some remonstrate, "that the way to the Master's abode is so well hidden!" Let them perceive mercy in this fact. Those who come to us are not only learners and sojourners in living Truth: they are also future arhats.
Those content with either discontent or contentment may remain attached to mutiny as though they were attached to mucilage. Some expect us to pry them off when our very own direction, clearly set before them, advocates to all: Seek! and thou shalt find.4 It is silly that the blind prefer an unkind wind which blows no good to anyone. First let us open men's eyes; let us reveal the panorama of perception as our initial act of liberation. And then love of Truth will break old and useless ties without so much as the flicker of an eyelid.
All the king's horses and all the king's men may not be able to put things together again,5 but certainly the only reason for this is that mankind consciously wills it so. The ritual of breaking up old human patterns, rightly undertaken by the heart bound with morality and sprinkled well with the oil of spirituality, abounds in cosmic potential.
It appears that there exists in the consciousness of man a very sooty ordination - what they have termed an ordination to evil. We abhor witchcraft, variance, and all practices of belittlement of the will of God. Long ago the binding of our hearts to Him was accomplished. We have never wished to cut these bonds, only to tie them tighter.
The nuisances of the day are signs of the perpetuation of old and recalcitrant evils which have never been helpful to man, which have never assisted him, and which never can. In the midst of darkness, let the Great Light shine!
Be satisfied to invoke Light! Wherever there is darkness, invoke Light! Be unsatisfied with your development, for the greatest source of encouragement is dissatisfaction. It is not enough to rest upon one's laurels. The past is indeed prologue;6 and no greater devouring of man's energies can be made than to allow the little egos to affirm, "This we have accomplished."
God's work will remain an unfinished symphony. The continual proddings of His Spirit are contrived by deliberate action and intent to spur in man the impetus of right direction. Of necessity, these will also provide him with the understanding of how psychic energies are siphoned from the masses by the dark ones; how they are restructured, restyled, requalified, and sent forth to produce breeches in the wall of Spirit that, like holes in cheese, add nothing to the infinite plan.
Indomitability is forged. Invocation made to God as an act of free will secures the best possibilities. Even those who doubt may prove the Law by a simple act of childlike faith. Great harms accrue from corrosion of the spirit by denial of the Christ. Always remember, faith begets faith; love begets love. Lesser qualities also produce after their kind.
Man's free will is assured in the perpetuation of the opportunity of creative action in all that he does. The responsibility is his. Hence the shortening of responsibility by the shortening of the lifespan of mankind was a decision of greatest virtue made by The Karmic Board millenniums ago. Albeit we could cut it still further, nothing good would be achieved by so doing. For man's current lifespan, even when lived to its fullest, provides but meager opportunity for soul progress to those who are caught in the nets of darkness. Notwithstanding, those who accept the faith in their own divine Reality can, if they will, enter into newness of Life.
Inflexibility in virtue is the requirement of the hour; compromise is, of all acts, most detestable to us. Thus the word went forth, "Thou art neither hot nor cold; therefore, I will spew thee out of my mouth."7 The chastening rod of mind and spirit should be recognized as a needed instrument for the flagellation of the merciless aspects of self.
Only through a proper understanding of self-love can turmoil be ended. How many other names they have called it! While man surfeits, the dear earth perishes in purpose. We admire the valor of those who have espoused the Flame and then kept it. How valorous the pathway of Truth; how vainglorious the pathway of self-indulgence!
The battle lines are being drawn. The recruits rally to the flag of purpose. The higher way, revealed and revealing, becomes a continuous pathway of hope. The bonds of love, like flowers breaking forth round the feet of humanity, free men from ancient and degrading records. Let all be willing to forsake those acts of condemnation that even in a child at play spoil the mudpie and soil the garments.
By the proper use of man's creative faculties, the new age shall be born; for the weak shall grow weaker and the strong stronger. To him that hath shall more be given; to him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.8 Scarcely understood, this fiat of the Law continues to act. Upon the threshing floor of God, the best grains are sorted out; the husks are removed by self-rejection.
Morya speaks: There is no excuse for the pointing finger of accusation. Those who truly know will praise the stalwart hearts. They will also praise the Light within themselves and adore the best possibilities. With God all things are possible.9
In Heaven's name, are the days of infamy passed? Have the fruits of darkness all perished? Or does the world still white imperfection? If any require hope and mercy, then may not all require it? Life is opportunity for all.
The highest adventure is the adventure of new purpose. Those who squander the hours in lost regrets accomplish little. Those whose high resolve summons strength for the betterness of perfection understand the need to forget. What a pity that men remember evils - or imagine them - when the cornucopia that showers bounty hangs just overhead. They prefer a lawn strewn with bludgeons.
We say, "Let there be Light!" The tarnished ages are monuments to man's nonfructification of good. The fruit of the Tree of Life standing in the center of the Garden remains to be picked.
In salutory memory of the world's need for creative energy rightly used, I remain
