May the radiant peace of our octaves of light enfold you, one and all, in our thought of emancipation. Radiating the power of freedom throughout the ethers, we bring peace to many hearts.
Devotees of the Spirit from the East and from the West hear our voice and are glad. They look upward to higher octaves as we do, for the slant of the consciousness from human octaves toward divine ones is a beauteous manifestation of cosmic symmetry.
Men rightfully look upward to the hills1 that they may behold the manner of speaking of the higher ones who have directed peace and love into human hearts, in order that the chalices thereof may become surrounded with the flowers of divine grace, garlands of hope, and mountains of cosmic accomplishment, hopefully radiated out into the world.
Now the world seems so simple to consider - a terrestrial globe. In reality the world is complex, and the outpicturings of nature upon the world in varied life-forms are complex and multifaceted in their manifestations. So is the being of man complex and multifaceted. Humanity rightfully look toward simplicity in order to enhance understanding. But, one by one, men are being led through the steps upon the stairway of life to the realization of the magnificent complexities of God.
Reducing these complexities to their first source, we find pure simplicity. Men should understand that the divine plan is to respond to the needs of humanity, to create answers to human needs and varieties to experience. These varieties have been called by some "the spice of life." Perhaps it is so. And some seek more spice, whereas others seek more simplicity.
Man is given free will to do as he will. Yet at the same time, his responsibility is clear - his responsibility toward Life, toward his brothers, toward the opportunities that are given unto him. It is our hope that men will rise, strong in consciousness, with renewed vigor and renewed understanding, to observe the fountain of God in its magnificent flow.
The Divine Mother nourishes the children of her heart. But let it also be noted that the Manchild2 she brings forth is expected also to nourish the rivers of cosmos and embellish them with the beauties of accomplishment. For "I go unto my Father ... unto your God and unto my God"3 is a fiat that also bears with its glad tidings the understanding of man's responsibilities.
He has drunk at the fountain of immortality the nectar of the Divine Mother. Now he is expected to replenish the fountain of immortality by his own continual offering of accomplishment to the Mother of the World. Bearing to the heart of the Father, to the eternal Spirit, the magnificent peace, he learns to externalize, to embellish, and to crest the wave with the crown of his own self-mastery.
Regeneration means a fountain of flow - the offering once again, moment by moment, to humanity of the depths of the riches of the wisdom of God, the wisdom of the ages, the eternal sense, the realization of the purposes of man. Man is a being endowed with magnificent vibrancy and power, but unless this power be utilized for the maturing of the beauteous consciousness he has been given, it is truly lived in vain.
How long does it take mankind to learn this lesson? How long does it take humanity to grasp at last the reason for their being? It is to offer themselves, naturally - but it is also to receive the offerings of others. For cosmos is embellished with the delights of the Hierarchy. It is infused with the nectar of myriad saints.
As long ago Enoch said, "Behold, the LORD cometh with ten thousands of his saints."4 This round-number expression should bring to humanity the realization of infinite accomplishment among finite men. For finite men of old were also endowed with immortality. First they knew it not; then they knew it. And in the knowing of it and the grasping of this understanding comes the planning for immortal accomplishment, for immortal doing.
We today, in our service in 1971, are also offering the fruit of our service from aeons of past ages. For the process of going deeply within to the inner kingdom and bearing the fruit of that kingdom to humanity does not always incorporate just the experiences of a passing moment or the charades of humanity, but often goes deeply into past ages and past historical akashic records to re-create in the consciousness of men living now the awareness of the eternal fiats of God that of old opened and dried up the fountains of the deep.5
Let us express, then, to all, our thought about humanity and how important it is that they begin to understand the fountain that flows within - to understand the nexus of qualification, to understand how the mind, by its sense of faith and cosmic benignity, can infuse the world with the structuring of ageless wisdom.
The wisdom of the ages in expression in the individual forcefield of countless lives derives its divine satisfactions as men mount the ladder of achievement and become, at last, members of the body of celestial beings who again and again reach out to humanity, as the tug upon our hearts occurs whereby we must respond to those who call unto us.6
Throughout Asia and the Eastern world, countless beings call unto us. Throughout the Western world, countless beings call unto Jesus. Let it be clear to all, then, that we individually must respond, per se, without speaking in any way disparagingly of our magnificent brothers of light - elder brothers of the race, such as Jesus and Paul (your beloved Hilarion7) and others of our bands.
How strange it is that men become fragmented in their perceptions, seeing one orifice to the mouth of God and closing others, when in reality the whole of creativity, by God's grace, was intended to compound light, to restructure all things according to the patterns made in the heavens,8 that the beauty of the Master Potter's creations could become at last the free will of each being. Spinning and weaving, composing and directing energies through the orifice of his mind, of his consciousness, the flow of delight would thereby bring new hope to men, as more and more sons and daughters of God came to realize their own divine nature.
Why does the attention of humanity flow to negativity? Why does it flow to psychic drama and episodes, when in reality the rivers of the Spirit are also flowing in the higher octaves, and the thoughts of God about each life are flowing through his own consciousness simultaneously with the flow of subterranean rivers of psychic thought and negativity? Do you understand, one may tune out one and tune in the other?
The process of selection is a magnificent one. Each soul, tenderly caressed with the purity of God, sees at last his own aborning desire carried up to great heights untrammeled by human creation.
The light of our Presence and the light of cosmic hope is never frustrating. If one enters into it, it becomes a boon, crowning all experience with its light. For of a truth, the light rays from above reach down to the most subterranean depths and create those subterranean fires of enthusiasm in mortal men whereby they become immortal.
The positing of the consciousness in realms of nirvana is an experience of great delight which one learns to forego as one understands that they carry their own nirvana with them. Wherever they are, wherever they go, the beauty of God's love does flow and flow and flow!
And the realms below, here, are also realms from which we must cast out both tear and fear. For man must become free to understand that he is deathless, birthless, and immortal; that he is not cast in the mold of the outer creation of the `coat of skins',9 but he is ever an immortal spirit - a being flaming as a star spark, coming forth from the realms of cosmic peace and creativity into cosmic motivation.
If the cosmic motive is to become the crystal diamond he wears - the jewel before which he prays as an altar that gemlike appears before him - he is to understand that the invocation of cosmic accomplishment, of ascended consciousness, of ascended masters, is his to both behold and to be. Man by destiny, God-ordained, is intended to become one who imbibes the fountain of immortal Life.10 He seeks to drink the nectar of the cup - and drink it he will. Ye also must drink of the cup, which, as the Master Jesus said, "I shall drink of ... and ye shall drink of also."11
The redemption of mortal karma is the crown of experience whereby man at last becomes karma-less and God-free. Entering into the realities of his natural being, he becomes a spiritual emissary of Infinity, sparking in the infinite world in others the same realization that drew him magnetically toward the islands of cosmic delight from the mainland of mankind's emotion and psychicism.
We call today for souls to be free!
We call today that all may see
The strands of God's love - immortal, bright,
Reaching forth, pure and white,
With their arms beckoning:
Light, O come and see and be
The fountainhead I AM,
For you are also free!
In coming to you today, it is to generate in you a greater awareness of mankind's need today. For they are so far from the fountainhead of Reality, yet so near. Realizing it not, they continually drink of the cups of fear and delusion. Confusion fills their mind. And oft, they become both blind and unkind.
Now we speak, once again beckoning. The Wesak festival has passed.12 And the re-coming of our cycle each year has momentarily passed its crest. Once again we shed a tear of concern for humanity. We pray that they may burn in cosmic delight with a reinfusion of hope that the world will become reborn in a new spirit of love, of peace, and of harmony.
For these are the gifts by which we were raised. These are the gifts of God by which, one by one, you will pass through the veil into that immortal Sun of cosmic strength and being - your own I AM Presence. Your inward perception, your inward seeing of - "all that I AM shall ye be also."
May heaven bless your honest efforts - this is my prayer.

I AM the true life of the flame,
A focus of God's I AM name,
Descending cycle from the sun,
My radiant source, thou lovely One!
I AM thy chalice ever free -
My purposed aim like thee to be,
A ray of Light's expanding love,
A focus for God's Comfort Dove.
Thy ray now anchored in my form
Does my divinity adorn:
Thy flame, a rising sacred fire,
Each moment takes me ever higher
Until at last made purer still,
Eternal focus of thy will,
I AM thy crystal chalice pure,
An anchor of thy love secure.
A healing fountain to the earth,
I AM real proof of Life's rebirth,
Which by the power of thy name
Ascends today thy love to claim.
I AM thy radiance crystal clear,
Forever pouring through me here.
Thy living joy fore'er expanding,
I AM with thee all life commanding!
