To You Who Would Glimpse the Glory of the Summit:
Is there any other way? Is there any other choice? Is there any other decision to be made except to choose the path of freedom? Any other choice is bondage, a backward step, the annihilation of the self.
What does it really mean to choose freedom? It means to free the electrons in your body and consciousness to flow with freedom's fire. It means to allow the electron to choose the path of freedom and not to subject that electron to the bondage of a limited consciousness, a limited matrix. It means to free your own self-awareness so that you can be aware of the self as having the potential of the Infinite.
Children are taught the way of the Greater Self and the lesser self. They always know who and what is acting. And a certain author has written stories for children called The Little Me and the Great Me. Choosing the path of freedom is not a one-time choice. It is a daily choice to make way for the Great Me and to stop the Little Me from getting in the way.
To prepare for the coming of the Christed one within, you must be a John the Baptist preparing the way of freedom for the avatar of the age. When you allow love to flow through your heart and mind and soul, when you consciously put down the human propensity to hate, to dislike, to dispute, to disrupt, then you have made a conscious choice for the path of freedom, you have cleared the flow of consciousness for the fires of the Holy Spirit to carve rivers of crystal energy moving from the great Source of life and coalescing within you miniature suns, atoms, and molecules of whirling energy that sustain the momentum of the cosmic consciousness of freedom.
When you choose to give vent to uncontrolled energies, to the mouthings of the evil spirits who pronounce their cursings with every other breath - mind you, the breath of the Holy Spirit - you are choosing the way of bondage. And if you choose that way, a muddied path in the swamplands of life, one day you will look up and see the pilgrims spiraling up the mountain on the path of freedom and you will wish that you, too, had taken that journey in the sunlight.
There are some who have turned their backs on the path of freedom for want of self-discipline, and yet they have determined to enjoy the fruits of freedom. Jesus spoke of these when he said, "The kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force."1 Fear not. They will not keep their ill-gotten gains. Like the duck, the cat, and the dog who refused to help the little red hen to plant the wheat, cut it and thresh it, take it to the mill to be ground into flour, and make the flour into bread, they will be there when the lovely bread of the Divine Mother is on the table, but they will be turned away.
If you would have the reward of the path of freedom, you must understand that there is a process that is called for, a very natural process like the transformation of the wheat or the kneading of the dough - the cycles of life itself. The essential ingredient is always the individual and his sacred labor. The process is the alchemy of God forming and reforming himself within you. It is the ritual of the sacred fire known well by the priests and priestesses of the seventh ray and those who form the ancient order of Melchizedek, who was without father, without mother, without beginning or ending of days.2 In truth the ritual of life and of souls descending and ascending from heaven to earth and back again follows the law of the cycles of the cosmos, and these cycles are continuous and a part of the symbol of Infinity.
The path of freedom is exciting! To enter it you must prepare, you must exercise the sinews of the mind and stretch the muscles of your desire body. For each day you are required to contain more of the flow of freedom, more of the essence of the Holy Spirit. Progress is the order of the day on the path of freedom. The trailblazer will not stand for stagnation. "Onward to victory!" - words that echo up the mountain with the cracking of the whip as single file the chelas march from niche to niche, from initiation to initiation. The path of freedom! Footstep by footstep, the choice is made to behold God in the farthest mountain you can see and in the petals of a wild flower you pluck from the crevice of the rock. And step by step you silence the hooting and the cawing that echoes from the plains below.
The envious ones, the perverse ones, are furious that you have separated from them, that you have left them behind, that you can find enjoyment in what seems an arduous and an unrewarded journey. They send their missiles of darkened consciousness. They would hypnotize the very souls of the children of the light if they could, but they cannot reach the exaltation of the ones who have glimpsed the glory of the summit.
I would take you now in consciousness as you meditate upon my words to the place in the snowy peaks of the Rockies where the fire of God can be seen by chelas who are accompanied by an ascended master. I would afford you the view of the holy of holies that you might have a glimpse of the goal. And once you have caught the vision and it is ingrained, infired upon your soul, you will never turn back, you will never again consider the way of bondage.
Yes, a glimpse of the infinite fire will dissolve all fear, all hesitation; and with the vision you will quickly make your decision. Then you will see just how fast you can discard the accouterments of mortal living. And those baubles and trinkets of the world that were once so precious - these you will cast into the flame.
And by and by, if I know my chelas, you will be coming to the Lords of Karma and you will be saying: "May I not transmute my karma all at once? Will you not deliver it unto me this day that I might be rid of this burden and that my soul might take flight up the mountain - straight up the mountain - the holy mountain of God? And you will hear the answer of the Lords of Karma: "Rome was not built in a day. Go back and lay the foundation of the pyramid of your life stone by stone, line by line; and be content with the just judgments of the law. 'Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."'3
Know then, O chela, that each day the maximum opportunity for overcoming will be given to you as you choose the path of freedom and as you consecrate the flame on the altar of your heart to the enlightenment of mankind, to the healing of the nations by the flame of love, to the righting of all wrong by the freewill alignment of the electrons of God with the inner pattern of their fiery destiny. As you do this and more, you will intensify the path of freedom which will become your personal path of salvation.
The path of freedom is the way of choosing the correct use of God's energy and the correct use of the chakras for the flow of that energy. Consider then how - heart, head, and hand - you can be the trinity of God in manifestation.
Dedicate those hands that God has created to be the instrument of blessing and healing, service and the fashioning of loveliness in form. Let the chakras in your hands ennoble life and exalt the flame of purity in all whom you contact. Be fire as you clasp the hand of the seeker on the path and impart the firmness of the law and the confidence that comes from the throne of Almighty God. Then speak the word "All is well!" and see how life in manifestation in that soul will respond to the word of calm and the word of wholeness, "All is well!"
Consecrate your hands in prayer each day and see how God will use those hands to work the wonder of wonders in this age. And let the fire of the heart release the love of Mother and Father, the wisdom of Alpha and Omega, and the power of Almighty God. When you enter a house, let it be lighted by the sun within your heart. If there is gloom and the odor of discarnates, let the fervent sun of righteousness blazing on your heart's altar dispel the dark, dank vibrations of the astral entities. Let them flee when they hear your footsteps on the threshold!
And when you enter there, let the mind of God, raised up within you by the power of Aaron's rod,4 infire all the members of the household with their divine plan, with the wisdom of the Mother. Let them think, if they will, that their ideas are original. For you will know their origin in the mind of God, and you will know that by the alchemy of the seventh ray you have been the instrument this day for the passing of light - heart, head, and hand - to those who know not how to plug in to the Source of the Trinity.
Choose the path of freedom and see how you also can become the liberator of all who come in contact with your flame. There was a man who gave his soul energies to place stones on a pathway leading upward on Mount Shasta. Stone by stone he labored and left thereby unmistakable markings beckoning devotees to the summit of the fiery mountain. His footprints - a the mark of his Electronic Presence, the very blueprint of the I AM THAT I AM - remain to this day to cheer the climber along life's way.
Let the imprint of your lifestream
Be not the random to and fro
Of the leaves that blow
And toss and tumble
In the autumn
When from the dark clouds
A storm begins to rumble.
But let your markings on Matter
Be the signet of Infinity.
Let the impressions of your mind
Leave markings far, far behind
Of patterned snowflakes that are forever,
So that when our Hänsel and Gretel
Look for the way out of the wood,
They will find the teachings
Of the White Brotherhood.
Write a book, compose a poem,
Sing a song, or play your harp.
Plant a garden, bake the bread,
Build a city or a tower instead.
But leave a sign like the Great Pyramid -
The sign of your soul
That will not be misinterpreted,
That the birds of the air cannot remove
Or the tides of the sea or the winds reprove.
Let your sign be the wings of the Spirit.
Let your sign be the monument of the dove,
The token of peace, the blessing of love.
Leave a sign, an expression of learning.
Let it be the fulfillment
Of all souls' yearning.
They yearn to be free
And to find the path of freedom;
They yearn for the guru
In the person of the Christed one.
If they are not ready today
As you meet them along life's way,
Know that tomorrow is another day,
And in the new day
Their readiness shall come.
And when it comes,
They will follow in the footsteps
Of the souls who have chosen
The path of freedom.
Choose to be what you really are. And when you really choose what you really are, you will be on the path of freedom and you will find me there.
I AM your teacher if you will have me,
