To the Timeless Children of My Heart:
Have you thought upon the grace that can be called timeless, the infinite grace that God has had from the origin of all things which He has extended not only to the end of cycles, but also to the end of each sosophoric round, to the end of each manvantara, and to the eternal beginning of each fresh cycle of ever ascending regeneration?
It is not the purpose of God to thwart the progress of the ages, but rather to enhance it. The current snarl of mankind's entanglement in those struggles of mind and spirit that cause him to become enmeshed in the mechanics of civilization has already created frustration piled on frustration. And the spirit of man, as well as the mind of man, becomes wearied with the endless sense of struggle that is intended to divide and conquer his very soul.
Your beloved Saint Germain has often said, "It is the sense of struggle that makes the struggle." Can you understand, blessed ones, how easy it is to relinquish your fears and your awareness of humanly contrived bondage - bondage to hatred and the creations of hatred and to the mental and emotional burdens that constantly cry out "I cannot! I will not!" - seeing that the unity of Life and of all that lives can be summoned as an act of grace to intervene at any point in time or space to alter those conditions within yourself which need to be changed so that the fullness of the Godhead may dwell in you bodily1 as it did and does in my Son, Christ Jesus?
Your True Self can never be removed from the valedictory manifestations of the ages, from the spirit of achievement that is inherent within the Godhead and the universe. Chaos and confusion are no part of God! For the sifting and sorting process within the natural order, when it is allowed to function according to the natural selection of the Holy Spirit - that is, the natural elevation of the divine qualities in man - without that interference which mankind by wrong thoughts and feelings continue to thrust upon the universe, is pure victory on the move. In accordance with the universal plan, Nature herself is a beautiful selector of grace on man's behalf, contriving to adorn his being with the highest and noblest forms of Christ-mastery.
Surely, beloved ones, somewhere along the line of even your human thought and reasoning you must have recognized that imperfection which appears to manifest and that perfection which you know within your hearts and souls is the very nature of God. Can you not see, then, that due to the presence of imperfection in the appearance world the letter of the Law is far more subject to human manipulation than the spirit thereof, which remains inviolate in the world of perfection?2 Yet it is to the letter of the Law that so many adhere rather than to the spirit. But God, in all of His power and wisdom, still looks at the motivation of the heart.3
Ah yes, we are fully aware of those changes in the interpretation of both the letter and the spirit that occur betwixt the dark and the daylight of the human consciousness, even as we are aware of those transformations of the human consciousness that occur in the sunlight of God's love and Christ-illumination. While mankind persist in engaging in those dreary activities of the mind that burden the soul in every age, they can look upon the drama of religious nonfulfillment without ever recognizing that what their blind leaders have passed off as genuine religion has very little to do with God. Yet the spiritual founders of religious movements, working hand in hand with those who have sustained a momentum of great hope for the salvation of the world and served the needs of the multitudes, cannot be expected to continue to bear the burden of humanity when that humanity allows its misunderstanding of the letter of the Law to interfere with its spiritual outreach.
Just as man is intended to be his brother's keeper,4 so he is also intended to be the keeper of the domain of his destiny proclaimed in the fiat "Take dominion over the earth!"5 His acceptance of this twofold responsibility constantly creates newness of life and recreates the spirit of justice in all the earth. Now the spirit of justice is a part of the spirit of divine love, for all things of God agree in one. It is never permissible for anyone at any station in life or point of advancement in spiritual service to indulge in any action which would create further bondage to forms of hatred or result in a lack of the true expression of divine love.
What a pity it is that humanity can allow themselves in the name of righteousness, in the name of Truth, to crucify one another over their disagreements on moot points of the Law or to allow their misunderstandings mixed with their understanding thereof to thwart their united effort. When we speak of humanity's need to espouse the virtue of God-control, it is because we know that this quality of Christ-mastery will bind the mankind of earth into one common body of Light-servers; thus we emphasize the flow of Christ-reality, of regeneration in the unity of the purpose of the Fatherhood and Motherhood of God.
I represent the Motherhood of God, as every woman can; and I seek to affirm and reaffirm those precepts of divine safety within the conscious awareness of each evolving monad so that in the hour of trial only Light shall prevail. Past ages of failure or success are no guarantee of what shall prevail today; for each day is sufficient unto itself.6 If man, then, desires to do the will of God and to hold fast to that which is good,7 he must do so oblivious of all momentums of human destruction which have ever manifested in his world; for these have no power to perpetuate themselves except the power man gives to them.
Mankind speak of the current age as though it were unique. So is each precious moment. But just how unique mankind little dreams of; for at any time, at any moment in the history of the earth, man could have either failed or succeeded. The elements of God-reality have always been there as the great pondering of the Mind of God to produce the fruit of His holy will in the consciousness of man. How fragile are moments in time as opportunities for the perfectionment of eternity! Their use, however, depends upon the sensitivity of men's souls and to what measure they can hold firmly to the great realities of God.
Stay with the dream of God, then, and shut out the clamoring wakefulness of the outer mind, whether in self or others, never losing touch with the components of Reality in all parts of Life; and you will succeed beyond your farthest dreams, for
The house of divine sonship
Holds open still the door.
The darkness of the mortal mind
Cannot, shall not, be anymore.
For just beyond the mortal sunset
Lies the Light's immortal dawn,
Trembling on the face of morning,
Shining promise from now on.
Day of Life's immortal gladness
Echoes from the dim-lit past,
Shimmering freshness of the Daystar,
Crystal diamonds in the grass.
Like a dewdrop ever fairer
You reveal the bright new day;
In the fervor ever nearer
Christ's own face is seen today.
Like a gossamer veil atremble
With the thunder of the sun,
Beauteous doorway of forever
Swings wide open for each one!
