To the Freeborn and Those Who Would Be:
Each day many among mankind awaken from their sleep plagued with uncertainty. Their concerns extend to the Christian church, to their nation, to their children and members of their society. They fear what is coming upon earth. Is the population of the world increasing too rapidly or too slowly? Why is there such tremendous violence upon the planetary body?
Why, in this beautiful world that can be filled with the hope of the Divine Mother and the carefree attitude of the holy innocents which many have experienced in childhood, do sophisticated mankind fail to comprehend the meaning of life's experiences? Let it be made clear that human struggle is the result of humanity's selfishness, of their failure to appropriate the divine abundance and to apprehend the universal purpose. Seeing life then in its smallest dimensions, they are not able to grasp the perspective of the overall picture; for they have already circumscribed the potential of their life with their own sense of limitation.
Long before there was a compendium of the Law known as the Christian Bible, combining the ancient writings of the prophets of Israel with the followers of Christ who set forth the New Testament, there existed at the time of Enoch1 prior to the Flood mere fragments of what could be called a sacred scripture. Yet the bible of nature, the recording of the Law in engrams of Light, was then and has always been present within the very atoms of the earth itself. Just as man today does not build without a blueprint, so Cosmos was designed after that universal perfection which God was from the beginning and is forever.
Don't you see then, inasmuch as perfection is ever the divine lot, how easy it would have been had mankind chosen to walk within the confines of the Great Law to perpetuate perfection throughout the world? Yet in the dispensation of free will as it is held by embodied mankind today, there is a chastening that comes from man's inherent freedom to create imperfectly and to live in error. Among the errors which mankind have perpetuated are errors of dogma adhered to by countless individuals who are the blind leading the blind that all mankind may fall into the ditch.2
Now there has come before the Karmic Lords the question of what shall be done about modern man and his behavior patterns, his violations of cosmic law, the torment he has inflicted upon nature and upon his fellowmen. All of Life is offended, and that mortally so, beloved ones. Whereas the Karmic Board and the hosts of heaven have sought to stave off the karmic recompense which should long ago have been loosed upon mankind, they have persistently held back the onslaught of the world's misqualified energies in the fond hope that the terrible inhumanities practiced against God and man by the people of the earth would cease and the trend toward more and more evil be checked.
Men are prone to believe in a personal savior - one who can deliver them from their sins as well as from those circumstances which cause them pain and suffering. Then there is the tendency toward radicalism, which engenders human hatred against those who either in politics or religion are not as radical as the radicals think they ought to be. There is human self-righteousness and spiritual pride that has become a terrible weight swung upon the thread of mankind's oppressive sense of foreboding and the desire to inflict punishment upon one another. This has caused untold sorrow in spiritual realms as well as hardship upon earth. Like a sword of Damocles, humanity's damning indictments of one another's faith in God and in Christ hang over their heads as an indictment of their own sinful consciousness, while their challenges of the universality of divine purpose and the beauty of the pure in heart continue to reinforce the brutal walls mankind have erected among themselves.
I, who sought so often and so earnestly in past lives as well as during my embodiment as the mother of Jesus to be a peacemaker, have much to give to those who would pour oil upon the troubled waters of mankind's consciousness. Contrary to the opinions of some, the early disciples and apostles often squabbled as do disciples of Christ today. It was no easy task to show them the error of their ways and to place in perspective the little concerns that they so frequently voiced, which were not nearly as important as the state of the altar of being, the chalice of the heart, and mankind's attunement with the purposes of God.
Men have often strained at a gnat and swallowed a camel;3 and how they still need with all their getting, even of things spiritual, to get understanding4 and compassion. It is not enough for men to be bold in their search for Truth; for all require that bountiful humility which, like a great magnet of cosmic love, draws the love of God through the whole net and fiber of creation, infusing it with the glow of cosmic intent and true spiritual compassion.
Why is it that from time to time in my numerous appearances to many among the faithful, as at Fatima and Garabandal, I have often sought to warn? It is because in reality in mankind's free will there is an element of divine grace which can be called into action, a focus of great love and understanding that can remove the hardness of heart with which mankind have so frequently cloaked their activities. Sometimes it appears to us as though man does not really understand the power that God wields. In the universal, macrocosmic sense, the all-power of God is the "all power in heaven and in earth"5 which is given to those who attain Christ-mastery and their joint heirship with God6 through the reality of the Universal Son.
What a pity it is that self-righteousness is such a barrier to divine Reality and to the teachings of the Holy Spirit. For the Holy Spirit guides all men into all Truth.7 And Truth, beloved mankind, is not just the letter of the Law as it is interpreted by various groups, which may well differ in their comprehension of sacred scripture and still be composed of hearts that truly seek the Light. To have love without the illumination of the Christ Mind and the power to rightly divide the Word8 is often not enough to promote the universal righteousness of God-activity within the consciousness of the individual that brings divine justice to all.
That the perfect balance of the Holy Trinity may permeate the consciousness of the true followers of God is our prayer. For truly the will of God that is above ought to be done below.9 But as long as men allow themselves to be hung on the various pegs of their human concepts - or even those of their divine concepts as they understand them - when those concepts are not rightly divided by the Spirit, so long will they remain in separate camps. In reality there is one cosmic purpose; and that purpose, which is the ultimate merging of the flames of God and man, will one day reveal itself to all by the Light of the one Spirit.10
I call for your consideration of these matters, even in an elementary way. For if thought will not provide easement to humanity's struggles, then prayer will. Therefore I urge all to pray with me and with the Masters of Light and Love that the Christian world be stripped of the elements of hardness of heart and cruelty toward those it regards as nonbelievers or heretics, of its shouting-forth of charge and countercharge, of its sense of struggle that is like the thrashing of a dying animal.
Truly darkness shall be overcome, but it shall ever be overcome by Light. For darkness cannot overcome itself. And when the Light that is in man is darkness,11 that is, when his Light is misqualified by darkness, its fruit cannot bring about a Christ-victory either for humanity or for the little monad of self. We await that greater understanding which descends upon the world as a giant curtain of Light and enfolds the hearts of those who would follow God as dear children.
