May the peace of the infinite Father charge forth its radiance into your four lower bodies, into your hearts, and into your minds - that you may become newly thrilled with that great release of assistance which, like the sand in the glass, is momentarily, hourly, and daily being poured out upon you as a shower of golden, infinite blessings ceaselessly descending to mankind, to the universe, and everywhere manifest, even at cosmic levels.
I am most grateful for the opportunity to serve. And as I reminisce concerning my past (when yet embodied in mortal form), I recall well those experiences which I had in my father's court as Siddhartha Gautama, when through my father's own ideas and desires, he kept from me the state of the world and the affairs of the world, and caused me to be reared in an atmosphere of complete ignorance of the presence of sin and death. I recall the first shock to my etheric body to find that the kingdom outside of the palace gates was so different than that I was permitted to view.
Well, beloved ones, as I speak to you tonight from the towering minarets of beauty and loveliness that is the city of Shamballa, where the ascended masters are this eve holding a hallowed conclave, I am thinking now of how different the kingdom of God is than mankind, in their philosophies and their ideas, have envisioned.
And I am therefore advocating a spirit filled with a vast humility which will cause individuals to be more receptive to the light of truth and less prone to those skepticisms and attitudes which tend to decry the existence of a greater manifestation.
I am thinking in particular of the idea of the human consciousness concerning the need for density in creation. For the concept of density by mankind seems to hold to the idea of the need and requirement for a solid physical form and atomic structure which must be in accordance with that which is.
Well, beloved ones, in our octave of consciousness, we find as much joy, and I think a great deal more, in living and expressing God in a body of infinite light - a body which in no way reflects the calcification self-evident within mankind, a body free from all of those conditions of distress which the unfortunate of mankind must daily endure until they are free.
Well, precious ones of the light, the kingdom of God is more wonderful by far than anything whatsoever that you might have imagined, and the situation is somewhat reversed to that which it was in my own case as Siddhartha. For in this case, you, beloved ones, are on the outside of the Palace of Light, and you are in that world of form and materialistic conception. And there you abide at times, subject to those whims of mortal consciousness which have not produced perfection in millenniums.
Precious ones of the light, the Palace of the Eternal Father stands secure as his lotus throne, and you have but to enter those gates with praise and thanksgiving in order to assimilate the wonders of the divine experience. As you enter those gates, your mortal conceptions will vanish as the dew before the rising sun, and there will come into manifestation in you the wonders of the divine consciousness, which will expand upon the screen of your mind as the beautiful anemone flowers expand upon the hillsides of Judea. You will see a multifaceted idea of the Eternal Father reflected in all of its splendor. And your hearts will be glad - not for a moment, but forever.
Mankind have for centuries speculated concerning the life after the passage called death. Well, beloved ones, those of us who have made that change countless times and have culminated in a victory of glory, having now won our ascension in the light, are, shall I say, most anxious and desirous of having the divine experience come to all so that none may ever be bereft of their God-peace, but that all may find themselves constantly surrounded with the never-failing light of God, whose effulgence, pouring forth like a blazing flood, brings them each moment an ever stepped-up increase of glory, until in the words of the Psalmist, their cup runneth over with joy.1 And, beloved ones, there is no room outside of the cup to contain that joy.
And this is one way that I would like to express it this holy eve, that you may understand that the compassion of God is unlimited. It is most unfortunate that mankind have unwittingly in many cases, and in a few cases chosen voluntarily, to accept an untruth about themselves and about the meaning of existence. And therefore, they have created unwittingly, and in other cases consciously and deliberately, riddles and various types of confusing ideas which they have related and passed down from father to son - and on and on until they have woven strands of a tapestry and fabric that is not the eternal beauty of the Father but is an ugliness which God could not design.
And, therefore, there exists today a need for the power of transmutation, which is a part of the great mercy flame of God, to come into action and to remove from the screen of human consciousness all that never should have been of whatsoever type of manifestation it may be and replace it by all of those qualities for which every sincere heart has long called.
These calls, precious ones, are not always articulated. They are not always spoken. They are not always formulated in mind. There are times that they are but a longing - a pang of the individual soul for reunion with the Father.
But, precious ones of the light, by the divine ray, the golden flame of illumination, there descends upon every seeking heart an understanding which makes it possible for them to articulate, to commune by the power of the spoken Word with their great God-identity and to communicate with one another those expressions of divine love calculated to exalt the spirit of man and to remove his apprehensions and misgivings.
The religions of the world were originally designed and created by holy men, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, in order to draw men closer to that captivity of magnanimity. And I want to call your attention to this idea, for it is the idea of the Father holding the captive ideas of his goodness as a treasure-house for mankind.
And therefore, precious ones of the light, this treasure is yours for the taking, and it remains as a mighty harvest for each soul to experience through initiatic experiences and through the divine progressive evolution of the living soul embodied in form. Tonight as I am speaking to you, charged with the radiance of divine love, surfeited and bathed in the essence of Christ peace, I charge that peace forth in your midst, that you may partake of the blessing which I share. And because I know the generosity that is within your heart, I am asking the great Karmic Board, as my petition to them tonight, to include the entire planet Earth in this petition.
Bathe the people of Asia, my beloved ones, in the true light of God that shines within my heart. Bathe the East in that light. Bathe the West - the so-called materialistic West - in the great Cosmic Christ conception of God. And let there charge forth into every heart, to every child, to everyone in whom there is a flame of Life, the essence of this experience, which I have and which I hallow and which I AM.
The I AM within you, beloved ones, has spoken. The I AM within you has spoken you into manifestation. And you, acknowledging the presence of the I AM within you, have uttered the words of his own name countless times, having declared, "I AM." The hallowed name of God, uttered first by him from on high,2 has been spoken through your lips, touched now by the sacred flame of the Holy Spirit and the radiance of the Maha Chohan.
As I sit here upon my lotus throne in Shamballa, I am joyous to report that a wonderful event is taking place here. This is a festive occasion for us also. For because of the Harvest Festival, which you, precious ones of the light, have elected to make possible here in this city of Washington, we, too, have desired to celebrate with you the glory of God as it manifests in an abundant spiritual harvest.
And therefore, tonight as I am speaking there are hundreds of cosmic beings and ascended masters who are here with me, that are known to many upon earth and that have been known to them in times past and that are known to you. Each one of you do not know them all by name, but they know you all. For they possess the power of multiplying their consciousness until it can stand in the aura of every man, woman, and child upon earth - and then, expanding their dimensions of time, until they are able to read the life-record of every individual.
Precious ones, this is no more wonderful than the feats duplicated by many of your machines - the products of human ingenuity under divine inspiration. And therefore, we are not so enamored with this factor, as you might be. But I pass it on to you as one factor of the Great Law.
However, far more important than the mere bilocation of consciousness is the recognition and precognition of the Eternal One unfolding from within - the budding divinity of every immortal son of heaven. The divinity of every son of heaven is planted there as a seed of Light within the protective heart-chalice of man - to expand, to unfold its lotus petals, to release the fragrance and perfume of its essences, and to produce a Buddha or a Christ in manifestation in everyone upon whom is stamped the immortal image of God.
I am come this night to bring my Christ peace to each individual lifestream in this room - to each individual lifestream who will subsequently read my written words and assimilate the vibratory action which I am releasing.
But I am most especially charging into the atmosphere of the entire planet a tremendous surge of Christ peace - to pour the oil of divine illumination upon the troubled waters of human consciousness, to cause the leaders of the nations to speculate concerning the meaning of a history fraught with constant turmoil, with struggle and clash, with pain and hate, deliberately fostered, in many cases, and nourished by individuals who ought to have known better.
I desire to bring to mankind a spirit of true brotherhood and love - a love that is more than words, a love that is even more than the precious feeling of love itself - but a love that is charged with divine wisdom and illumination, until it is literally surfeited with it, and then goes back to the heart of the Father for more in order that it may be a better servant to the light of God that cannot fail.
Precious ones of the light, recognize for a moment that in you is mirrored the Life flame of God within the Great Central Sun. The flame that pulsates within my heart here in Shamballa is radiant within yourself. You have but to recognize it in order to expand it.
When the petals of the lotus unfold, the bud of divinity does release its precious fragrance. And the fragrance of God, like a rose from heaven, is wonderful to inhale. It is precious and priceless. It is sacred and supernal. It is joy and eternal!
You have thought of me - that is, some of you have - almost as an idol perched upon the shops and shelves in the marts of commerce and utilized as an incense burner. I have not minded, because I have been able in the higher spheres to pour out to the Christian world, as to the Moslem world, as to the Buddhic world - to the entire earth - the radiance of God without limit.
Human concepts have not limited me, because, O God, they have not limited Thee! And thy universe continues to hum, unabated in its transcendent glory, before all mankind - regardless of the human concepts which men have held for centuries.
Tired oxen pulling ancient carts creak along the roads today in lands that long ago ought to have externalized trucks, cars, buses, planes and trains. Individuals today, hungering and thirsting after the simple knowledge of geography, are without textbooks. Babies are lacking milk. And mankind continue to build instruments of war and destruction and to plot and to plan in diplomatic intrigue to confuse and maim the divine plan upon earth.
You are a citadel of God. As Saint Augustine wrote concerning the City of God,3 you, precious children of God, represent the best hope of the Most High God. As Daniel, captive among the people of his day, was forbidden to pray but continued three times a day to offer prayers to the Most High God - under the threat of being cast into a den of live lions - did not suffer human consciousness to dominate him,4 so it is expected by the entire hierarchy of light that those among you who love God without hypocrisy will offer your all upon the altar of service and devotion to our sacred cause.
Beloved ones, the founders of Christianity were but twelve in number - and I refer to those holy apostles of the Christ. And yet, today Christianity is known everywhere and respected even by other religions.
You have now within the chalice called Opportunity the cosmic possibility open to each of you to render an incomparable service to God. And God, who justly pays all of his debts, will reward you even for those deeds done in secret;5 and he shall not slack his hand6 to reward you for those deeds done openly. You have within your power the means, the implements, to recognize divine unity until nothing can cause you to have fear any longer.
Beloved ones, before the great world war which recently passed, the statement was made by one of the leaders of the nations that mankind had naught to fear but fear.7 Well, beloved ones, it is our desire that you shall "fear not," in the words of the angel.8
For if you were bereft of life at this moment, the Great Law would rapidly turn, and those of you who are not yet worthy to make your ascension would, as I did so often, find yourselves within an infant form to manifest again upon the screen of life - the radiance of heaven as a flickering light, expanding within mortal consciousness, flickering as a light through an alabaster jar, penetrating - coming out and going, coming out and going.
And yet, the day shall come for those who will give to God the power and dominion of their world, when they shall go out no more from the holy city of God but they shall walk in white robes, for they are worthy.9
You shall be charged with the righteousness of God, because it is your divine nature. That part of man called "unrighteousness" shall be remembered no more.10 Infamy, ignominy, deceit, corruption, inequity shall pass from life and be no more.
But it must be striven for, it must be sought after, it must be revered when it is apprehended, it must be sensed by the Divine within, because the Divine within is in mortal form and lives within you - and lives within you in order to magnify the greater Self of Himself, the highest of the Most High. For you are a lesser manifestation of the Divine, and you belong to that Christ peace of the ages, that Rock that you may plant your feet upon and say in full faith, "I will not be moved!"
And so I, Lord Gautama, Lord of the World, ask you this night to join hands with one another and form in this room one cosmic circle of light. This shall be linked with the beloved messenger, and these petitions shall be consumed while you are holding hands in a fellowship of cosmic love.
I can tell you this - that the energies of heaven will pass into your midst, and you shall realize in part and know in part11 that it is good to have no fear but to believe in God.
In the words of the Christ: Even as ye believe in me, so do thou this act now.12

I AM the World Preceptor. And the graciousness of God's love flows through me as a river of peace to bring to the pool of men's consciousness the glorious inner radiance of the water element, the fire element, the earth element, and the element called the air.
I AM come tonight to bring men a sense of completeness, a sense of peace and serenity - a sense of their eternal, certain victory.
All tremors, all disturbances, all chaos is passed. The night of longing is no more. It has been replaced by the fulfillment of the coming dawn. High upon the mountaintops, snowcapped with spiritual wisdom, mankind of earth feel the pulsations of Life, free from human contamination and those conditions which swept the world away from the faith of God and the faith of the Eternal Presence, and the peace of God, the peace of the Eternal One - the love of God, the love of the Eternal One, as it expressed and does express through each individual lifestream.
I would like to give you tonight a brief report concerning the meeting held within the Royal Teton. Particularly, I would like to call to your attention a release of the thoughtform for the year. The thoughtform for the year, beloved ones, is quite simple and yet beautiful.
The thoughtform for this year, beloved ones, consists of three overlapping stars. These stars, beloved ones, are six-pointed stars. The star in the background is blue, representing the will of God; the next star is yellow, or golden, representing the illumination of God; and the smaller star is the pink star, representing the love of God. This is a part of the thoughtform.
And superimposed upon the thoughtform, radiating from the very center, are two secret rays. Directed downward in golden color, they form an inverted V. Upward, the two secret rays are directed; and therefore a cross, such as the Roman numeral X, is formed. To the right, two more secret rays go forth - and to the left. And therefore, there is superimposed upon this beautiful three-part star, composing three stars in one symbol, four Vs representing the cardinal points of the compass - the North, the East, the West, and the South.
The meaning of this symbol is quite clear: that it is in the balance of the will of God, the love of God, and the wisdom of God that mankind shall attain their victory, and that this balance is sent the world around by the Brotherhood to bring the victory of immortal love, wisdom, and intelligence into the hearts of men, that those waiting hearts may receive the fullness of that for which they have called.
Beloved ones, many wondrous events have taken place within the heart of the Royal Teton this night. I prefer not to give you a dissertation pertaining to those events. I'd prefer rather that the students shall attempt, themselves, to contact the Royal Teton this night while their physical forms sleep. And let there be brought forth from within, as a test for their own personal advancement, the story of that which transpires.
I cannot say what the morrow may bring forth, but I am certain that many of you will await with eagerness the coming of beloved Ascended Master Jesus, that he may bring to you the fullness of his love to extend through every day of the dawning year.
I thank you and bid you good evening with my blessing!
