To All Who Seek Knowledge That the Infinite God Be Glorified:
Some men rejoice in the fact that the fashion of the world passeth away.1 But remember, blessed hearts of love, that it is your victory won right within the framework of your experiences that skims off the dross of human misbehavior and produces the divine alchemy of purification. This is the trial by fire2 that separates your darkness from your Light.
Man should understand that one day all qualification, both good and evil, must receive its reward. Through the great mercy of God, the karma of a planet and its people has again and again been withheld that new opportunities for experience might continue to come to all. This is that aspect of the Law which allows little children maturing through the round of experience to find the emancipation that reveals the grace of God to those whose eyes are open to His benign bestowal and to His desire to create out of the substance of opportunity the best possible gifts to Life in all of its manifold parts. It is the Mother Aspect of God that can examine human hurts with the eye of understanding and then yield the heart back to God with total surrender.
Now in examining the fabric of what in this age has been called a Christian civilization, we cannot stop with just the present era, but must reach back into the pages of history where we find manifesting the oh so frequent barbarities that have been brought forth upon humanity in the name of my Son, Christ Jesus. It is a great pity that today's smug and conceited Christianity often fails to utilize the honest eyes of the heart and soul to extract a valued lesson from both present and past church history.
It is the yielding of the heart to the beat of joy in every situation that purifies the understanding of man that it might one day become a repository of strength to those who are willing to surrender unto God all human desires and their need for self-importance. This does not mean, O hearts of Light, the extinguishing of man's Life or Light; rather it brings about an intensification of its shine, for the intensifying power of the Christ does descend from the Godhead into the chalice of individual lives.
It should always be a joy to contribute thoughts of dignity and worth into the flowing stream of energy which constitutes Life. How often men sit on the bank of the river of Life and watch it flow, taking from it all that they possibly can, yet contributing nothing to its course or movement. Surely justice and mercy must follow man,3 both contemporary man and man to come. Surely all shall come to understand one day that it is only that which is yielded unto God through love that endures. As Saint Paul said long ago, "Now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity."4
You who read my words through the Pearls of Wisdom should understand that these are not written for the glorification of the human ego, but for the exaltation of the soul in the divine Flame and Light. Thus one day mankind will come to know and to understand how beautiful and complete the Light is because he will have added to that Light the best gifts of his own Self-realization, intensifying them in the filaments of his being so that he too may let his Light shine.5 It is the energy of God that glorifies the soul of each one. And when the electrifying concepts of His grace are made known to the world, the right use of both His masculinity and His femininity will be adhered to and the androgynous Being of God seen at last in fuller measure in the stature of the Christ.
Mankind often say that it is a tragedy that greater understanding does not prevent wars, rumors of wars,6 and the darkening attitudes of the race of men. But after all, beloved ones, it is to high places in human thought rather than to high places in divine thought that mankind aspire. Is it any wonder, then, that they yield themselves so easily to self-glorification and self-righteousness? Is it any wonder, then, that they are prone to error almost from the beginning of their mistaken monadic expressions, which are in reality no part of the Divine Monad, but are of the synthesized personality they have come to regard as the Real Self? When the Real Self of man is perceived as the Universal Spirit, all-flowing and all-enfolding, the power of love comes to be realized to such a marked degree as to produce the profoundest of changes in the nature of man. And if these changes be produced in the individual, must they not then permeate all substance and structuring?
"Let not your heart be troubled," my Son declared. "Ye believe in God, believe also in Me."7 Why, in the name of heaven, if all men were really created by God, should they deem it an unworthy act to hold, in addition to self-esteem, esteem for other parts of Life? Certainly we do not say that mankind should respect evil or those things which are hurtful to men. But there is enough virtue in the soul of man which God so lovingly placed there that those who look can surely perceive that virtue in man and, seeing it, amplify it so that all may partake of the sacred Eucharist, the tiny wafer of Life by which they are made aware of their unity in Christ.
The world today lives in a time of the great depreciation of values, in a time of the deterioration of a sense of their own worth and hence of the worth of others. Because of this and because mankind do not understand true religion nor the fact that the world has produced saints in the past as well as in the present, they seem to look askance at all who hold fast to good.8 There is a trend today to expose all action of a truly divine nature as if it were fraudulent, as if it were deceptive. I am sure that more shall be said on this subject, but let mankind perceive how seldom men really do believe in motives of worth in others.
Little do they dream of what is in the heart, for we perceive the virtue of God in the hearts of many. But by the same token, we also observe in the temporary strands of human petulance and greed the tendency on the part of many to condemn others for the same thing that they themselves desire to do, but in some cases have not done and in other cases have done. It is dangerous for mankind to point an accusing finger at others when many times they are not aware of their own imperfect patterns from past ages. They do not foresee what they will one day do as a result of the very trends they are now creating.
O mankind, how lovely you are in your God Identity! And so it is with our prayer for the redemption of all that is beautiful and real about you that in this hour of mounting human affliction and distress the hearts of many will turn to my Son as a part of their Real Self, as a part of their God Identity. His mission in life was not for self-glorification, but for the eternal glory of God. If men are able to perceive this glory in all, then all will find themselves identifying with such perfection as has never come to earth before and the divine genius native to man will let fly out the window of life never to be anymore those elements of human distress that presently conceal the face of God from a weary and a hungry world.
Christ said so long ago, "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled."9 The moments of that infilling are thrilling beyond belief! The soul gasps in individualized mankind that it might receive a breath of this Reality, that it might perceive the infinite Hand of God reaching through all experience and beckoning all to move onward into the universal Light without fear and with the fullest of confidence.
I remain ever your Mother in the service of the Universal Christ,
