The Middle Way of Resourcefulness, Action, and Contemplation

     The night winds are soft and gentle, blowing from the Himalayas and across the Gobi Desert, across the polar regions, across the Rocky Mountains. And here the sylphs make their way to bring you the tidings of the Temple of Shamballa, where the Threefold Flame is enshrined for a planet and its people.

     Here came Sanat Kumara of old, Hierarch of Venus, who proposed to cosmic councils that he would keep the Flame of Life when no other would uphold it, that he would keep the Flame until another would come to receive it. And there I saw the Ancient of Days1 and I knew him as my teacher. And I came to Shamballa to be taught the way of the Buddha and of the thousand-petaled lotus flame.

     Prince Siddhartha they called me. They sheltered me; they kept me from the sorrow and the pain of worldly life. And when I found that my brothers and sisters were in need, I left family, home, palace, wealth and went to sit under that famous tree to attain God Consciousness, to attain Nirvana, and to bring back to humanity the teachings of the Ancient of Days on the Eightfold Path - the middle way of resourcefulness, of action and contemplation, of meditation and transmutation, and of total mastery of karmic cycles and conditions.

     Thus I came to know the Lord of the World and the great concern of Hierarchy for the suffering in samsara. I came to know that I could be the Buddha, that I could manifest the Buddhic Consciousness that other men might see because I chose to see God, that other men might walk because I chose to walk with God, that other men might know because I chose to know God.

     And so I gave my life to him, Sanat Kumara, and became his disciple. And Maitreya soon came with me and we were taught together. And when the time came for our teacher to return to his home star, Venus, he anointed me as the Buddha for the planetary body and bequeathed to me the office of Lord of the World.

     The meaning of that office is manifold, for I hold the authority for the world insomuch as I release the energies of the twelve hierarchies of the sun in perfect balance through the Threefold Flame. And that Threefold Flame at Shamballa is the lifeline to all evolving here. The Threefold Flame within your heart is attached by my love to the Heartbeat of God enshrined in our temple. It is also in my authority to dispense the wisdom of God; and this I do through Maitreya and through the World Teachers, Jesus and Kuthumi.

     My activities in releasing the Light of Wesak are with elemental life; for they, too, depend upon the love of the Lord Buddha for the sustaining action of Life in their service to humanity. The Maha Chohan, whose retreat is at Ceylon, assists me in expanding the mighty power of the Holy Ghost through elemental life that they might be contained and follow the patterns of the group soul given to them from the hand of the Lord of the World. Thus all Life is contained and sustained by the flames that blaze now from many retreats tended by the Masters of the Great White Brotherhood.

     Yes, the evolutions of this planet are greatly loved; and contrary to their concept, they are greatly understood. Hierarchy understands the trials and the tribulations, the thinking processes, moments of emotion, moments of deep meditation and attunement. For Hierarchy at ascended levels is comprised of those Elder Brothers and Sisters of the race who have walked the same path that you now walk. We have taken the same tests and we have made the same mistakes. For you must understand that in a finite world and a finite consciousness, there are only a certain number of mistakes that are possible, and these have all been made by one or another of those who walk as the Brothers in White.

     Therefore fear not and do not doubt the way, for the Path is clearly marked. It is marked with our footprints in the sands of time; and you have but only to place your feet in those very footprints to walk all the way Home to God, to become also a servitor of those lifestreams who are yet floundering in the astral sea of mass emotions.

     You who have compassion as I had compassion upon the sick, the maimed, the halt, the deaf, the blind, those caught in the wheel of karma, you who have the compassion of Jesus the Christ, must understand that true compassion must manifest as the ordination of the will of God, as the magnetization of the will of God, to raise the lesser consciousness to the level of God-centeredness.

     It does not contribute to the evolution of a sphere to agree by way of human sympathy with human imperfection or sorrow, and therefore the only true way to be of any help at all to humanity is to yourself rise to the level of God's will and from that vantage point draw all mankind up to your level and not allow yourself to be drawn down, except to stand in the midst of the masses to proclaim the immaculate conception of God's ideational pattern, the immaculate image held in the beginning whereby all things return to the state of oneness and bliss.

     I AM the devotee of the Divine Mother. I meditate upon the Cosmic Virgin day and night, upon the Omega of Consciousness and upon the ray that originated the Omega Consciousness, upon the Sun behind the sun of the Divine Mother. You might say that I am Her electrode in Hierarchy for the planetary body. And as I focus the Masculine Consciousness of the Godhead for the earth, the magnet of my Spirit does draw the energies of the Divine Mother on high into manifestation, into the Divine Mother, here below. Thus when you look upon the sphinxlike face of the Buddha carved in stone, in statue, in jade, you can know that the thoughts of the Buddha are upon the Mother and upon Her child that is the Seed of the Father, the Seed of the Christ that is in you all.

     I AM the Lord of the whirl of cosmic energies in you and if I desire I may bequeath to you a certain authority over that whirl which gives to you in turn the authority to transfer that whirl to others who have not yet entered either the domain or the age of responsibility for worlds within worlds and whirling cycles of energy potential made available through Hierarchy at all levels of evolution and humanity's evolving consciousness.

     I adorn the Feminine Ray in you this night. And as I choose to enfold the Mother of the Flame in my mantle, I cannot ignore the mother in you all. For you all can be, as Mary has said, the Mother of God, the Mother of the incarnation of God in man. Therefore I appeal to the Mother Flame in you; I appeal by the power of the Great Central Sun Magnet. And by my love I draw up that Flame, that it might flower as the white lily of purity to give impetus to purity within the mind.

     For my goal as the Buddha is to teach you how to unfold the wisdom of the crown chakra that is the wisdom of Alpha. And therefore my meditations upon the Mother are to that end, that mankind might have the wisdom of the Father through the raising of these energies and the anchoring of the lily-white fire, the lily-white cloud, the cloud of witness whereby you bear witness to the Flame of the Father.

     Often I choose to leave Shamballa to walk the earth to observe my children; and I walk through the large cities, holding my mantle around those who are in need of sustaining righteousness. For righteousness is the right use of the Law and the right use of energy and the right use of free will. When I choose to qualify my mantle with righteousness, men and women bowed down by the cares of the world realize suddenly, as if by a bolt of blue lightning, that righteousness in all ways is the answer to life's problems. And so I observe the humble and the proud, the great and the small - all who are talented, but some whose talents are undeveloped, some whose talents are developed incorrectly and who pervert the very talents that God has given to them.

     And I pour forth my love, and I magnetize the very love within the cells and atoms of the beings of the masses. And how often that grace, that devotion which I pay to the God within man, results in the healing of all manner of diseases before they even begin to cycle at the physical plane. And mankind know not the devastation they have been spared by the love of one member of Hierarchy.

     I have always desired to make you the Buddha where you are. You have thought of becoming the Christ, but have you also thought of becoming the Buddha? To attain the Buddhic Consciousness requires certain initiations which Maitreya at your behest will give to you, for he is the Great Initiator.

     Always remember when you ask for a test that that test will be forthcoming at the hour and the time of the Lord's appointing, according to the cycles of your own karmic wheel. If you forget that you have asked for a test and it comes in a month or two, then perhaps you will also forget to be prepared and to pass the test. Perhaps you will forget to even maintain the consciousness of being tested. Lofty thoughts have a way of being drowned out and lost as you walk among the masses; and therefore I always counsel to write down those things which you desire to remember because you desire to go and be the Buddha in action.

     The prayers of a little child offered this night to the Divine Mother have been heard by the angels and the Archangels. And they have been reported to me, for it is the fervent desire and prayer of this little child who kneels at his bedside that his mother's life should be spared. I have heard the calls of this little one; and because of this child's devotion, in addition to his good karma in a previous life when he nurtured the one who is now his mother, I have taken his request to the Lords of Karma, who shall consider whether the karmic weight of the mother warrants her passing from the screen of Life at this time. And even if it does warrant that passing, I tell you that the glow of the heart chakra of that little child and the faith in the power of Almighty God to heal his mother is great enough to hold the balance for the karma of his mother. Such is the power of intercessory prayer, precious hearts.

     If that is the action of a little child, the childlike consciousness that shall lead all humanity, what then is the power of child man tutored in the knowledge of the Law, who knows the cycles of Life, who knows the names of Ascended Beings, who can call upon the Lord of Life in invocation, in the rhythm of our decrees which we have set forth through this activity for the freeing of the age? I tell you, the invocations of the students have held back calamity after calamity for the planetary body, have stayed epidemics, mass crimes, and all types of unseen crimes that occur in high levels of government, of religion, and in the economies of the nations.

     Listening Angel and all in the legions of Listening Angel do listen to the slightest prayer breathed as a breath from the lips of one weary in toil and travail. And every prayer is recorded, noted down, and taken before the Court of the Sacred Fire or the Karmic Board for action. You have but to speak the word in the name of God, I AM, to receive action on any point of life, major or minor; for every word is heard by God.

     Did your mother tell you this when you were a child? Do you remember her soft voice leading you in your bedside prayers? Do you remember how as the years passed and you began to reap your karma and to be in the world with its temptations that you lost the contact with both mother and God and therefore lost your faith that your heart's desires could be heard by a God that you could not see?

     I have come to restore that faith. Even as you now have faith in nature and in the gentleness of the breezes of the night, so know that God is in the breeze; God is in the night; God is in the rock and in the flower and in loved ones. And God is ready to bestow upon you the mantle of the Lord of the World when you have made yourself ready to receive it and to be all phases of mastery at your point in time and space.

     I assure you that if one devotee such as Milarepa - tutored in the black arts, who became a practitioner of black magic and then recognized the error of his ways and sought and found the great guru in the Hierarchy and lineage of the Lords of the World and the Buddhas of the East - if such a one could attain to such mastery, can you not also attain, O ye of little faith?

     I have come to give you the faith of the Lord of the World - faith in the Cosmic Virgin, faith in Hierarchy, faith in the love that heals, faith in unseen voices and seen manifestations of Life and Light from other octaves and other spheres. As Archangel Michael comes to summon you in the faith of the Archangel, so I come to summon you in the faith of the Lord of the World. And I pronounce my message to you this hour for the preparedness of your body temples for the influx of Light and the raising-up of the energies of the chakras for the glory of the Golden Age and the coming of the Son of man, which must come first into manifestation within you before it can come into manifestation without.

     I have addressed the meeting of the Lords of Karma in the Grand Teton Retreat this night; and I have placed before cosmic councils a document which contains my recommendations for the best tutoring of the sons and daughters of God upon earth. The Lords of Karma shall act upon this document, and Alpha and Omega shall also examine it. And if it be their desire, they shall report to you through the Spokesman for the Karmic Board in her address on the Fourth of July. I shall not take from them the honor of setting forth the plan of Hierarchy for the coming six-month cycle and cycles that are to follow. But I shall place in the hands of the Goddess of Liberty my blessing and my vow to perpetuate the torch held high of the golden flame of illumination.

     I AM the Lord of the World. You are the Lord of your world. You can become the law of your world as you mesh your energies and consciousness with my own and with the great hierarchies of Light.

     I enfold you in my love this night. And I prepare you for the meshing of your being with my own and for that supreme moment when we two, we three, we four, we infinity shall stand in one place and declare we are one, we are one, we are one! We have won, we have won, we have won!

     We shall be because we go be!
