Blessed ones, from the sands of the Gobi, from the quietude of our heart, we come this night to once again greet the blessed evolutions of this planet. Our hope is that a continued flow of our peace will so saturate mankind that they will desire to manifest the wonders of our grace. And so, from the Gobi, from Shamballa we come, and it is to the spirit of revelation celestial that we dedicate ourselves this night to bring to you an understanding of the reverent word Gobi.
For you know, blessed ones, that semantics are a problem to mankind to the present day, and so the mere spelling of a word is not so important as the actual pronunciation thereof. And so as I speak to you to reveal - choosing to do this rather than conceal - I wish to implore you to see the meaning behind the word Gobi, for in this English-language word, as also concealed behind the power of the I AM, is the most wondrous concept of identity - "Go Be!" Go referring to man going forth from the heart of the Father and Be referring to man just simply being that which the Father is.
Do you see that as man stands on the sandy platform of this great reality, on the broad desert plain, he stands forth doing the Father's will, simply being what the Father is? And in this holy concept of being, the subtle voices of the past with the discords of the past are stilled and man once again lives in holy innocence. "Go be thou all that I AM!" is then a fiat for this age. In an age when the accent is not so much on being as seeming to be, it is essential that mankind be taught from early childhood not the fruits of hypocrisy but the fruits of purity; for it is purity which comes before the pure throne of God's grace and draws from his grace the boundless radiance that makes a winner in the world as well as a winner in heaven. For victory comes to the soul of man, not through his desire to, as you say, "lord it over" other men, but as "the Lord rules over" him once again ...
As he sees that pain is not the way
And pleasure-giving is indeed that for which we pray,
Mankind will understand that in the plan
There is a mightiness in man
Which will unfold forevermore
The beauties of the Eternal Shore
And will draw forth in twofold view
The purity of God - to do
That which is the master plan,
The comfort of the God in man.
The way is plain - let all men hear:
Behold, thy Light is ever near,
Anchored in thy Great God Flame
It comes again - awaits thy claim.
Precious ones, I come to you then this night to stir within your ancient memory the days of the pilgrims of past history when men were godly men and were men filled with enthusiasm and the desire to do all the wonderful things which the men of high ideals do to make the world a place more beautiful and comfortable, more noble, more stately and gracious.
You see, precious ones, in the symmetry of nature there is such an unfolding wonder that I sometimes wish that all the youth of the world would understand a little more of the subtleties of inner botany, that they would come to realize that among the plants of the field and the forest there is such a wondrous touch of the hand of God revealing his celestial love in torrents pouring down upon the soul that is athirst and bringing to all such peace that they cannot even do more than just to drink it in and be content forever to bask in the radiance of that peace. And yet, behold, the word has gone forth: "Go Be!" yea, "Go and do thou likewise!"
To be a godly man, a godly woman is the requirement of the youth of the world, and they are surrounded by pigmentations of darkness; the mud and the slime from ancient civilizations has covered them over until they cannot reveal the purity that is God. And yet, we would strip aside the masks from all, that the courageous ones in this day and age may stand forth and their faces shine as the Son in the Father's kingdom.
I am come this night in the stillness of thy being to speak to this planet Earth of the wondrous capabilities that stand before all life here. When the cupidities of mankind and the banalities are bypassed, when mankind are willing to cast their all, as it were, into a common pot and to draw therefrom the substance which they need, many of the discordant conditions which now exist will be completely wiped out. And yet I cannot so recommend at this hour, for the Lords of Karma have so warned that mankind have such a tremendous karmic imbalance that the Great Law would seem at this moment to require almost aeons of time to pay it off.
And yet, by means of the violet transmuting flame and by the means of Cosmic Christ love drawn forth and expressed by the many, the planetary imbalances may be speedily corrected by the power of the three-times-three and the arithmetic powers carried on to almost infinite possibilities so that the circle comes full square and the City of God manifests among men as visualized by holy men of old, even by Augustine and by others of our starry band whose noble souls flashing across the firmament of the world brought comfort to the era in which they lived and continue to the present day, via the media of the printed word, to establish in the souls of men some remnant of a virtue long past and long forgotten for which the world presently longs - and so it ought to do. And yet the strength of men derives not from the thoughts and wishes of other men but from the plan of God.
Go Be thou the fullness of all that God would have thee be and Go Do thou the fullness of all that which God would have thee do. Limit not thyself and yet cast not upon thyself a burden of senseless idealism which is unapproachable by thy being. Let thy aspirations be within the grasp of thy attainment. Understand well that thou must start first of all from thy cradle stage to creep and then to rise upon knee to stand straight upon thy feet.
Blessed ones, when you understand the comfort of the divine plan and its unfolding wonder, how that all the love of heaven bursts around about thee as a garden most beautiful, you will realize that the garden of aspirations can become also a thorny one where mankind feel, because they have not attained all that to which they have aspired, that they have fallen short as into an abyss. And it is not so, for a little attainment is better than none at all, and men must derive comfort from small favors derived from the Godhead that they may expand their light and love still more in the great comfort flame of the Most High God.
The love of the ascended hosts is so infinitely powerful, so radiantly beautiful, that it passes by as a high wind over the land; and that which is beneath stirs but a little from this tremendous progression which, sweeping overhead, is like a comet, like a new birth, an astronomical nova in the sky and firmament of being.
Tender reality revealed to mankind shows them that kindness expressed and given out is ever an action of cosmic love. When mankind withhold from others their kindness and stand in vengeance upon one another, oh how they sear the fragments of their soul, how they mar the beauty of the divine plan, how they crack the very vase of being, how the precious flowers are strewn upon the ground and mingled with blood and despair, how all becomes a bitter pill, a potion to swallow that is discomfort and unhappiness, how the world foments and generates war throughout the East and in Africa, how occurs throughout the world the vanities and disillusionments of mankind's false aspirations!
Despotism asserts itself under the guise of freedom and democracy and does not stand forth here in your nation, America, where I speak tonight. And yet I beam my love from the Teton area to Washington, D.C., and I am also speaking at the same time simultaneously, as it were, from Shamballa in the Gobi Desert.
Do you see, then, how wondrous it is to occupy our octave? I am here one moment and I am there the next. First I am in the Tetons, then I am with you in Washington, then I am in the Gobi - so that by a spiritual triangulation I cast the banner of Shamballa over the world.
And the world is flooded with our love. And our compassion glows tonight with a fervor that has never been known in any past age; and yet this age is scarcely ready to receive the fiery aspects of our love.
For you have some concept about me, that I am a being of cosmic peace, and so I am. Do you not know that I have a fervor so great that I must veil that fervor behind the softness and gentleness of my Spirit, else mankind would scarce be able to stand up to that which I have?
Do you know, precious ones (and I understand that you will know that I am not boasting), that the fervor and fire of my soul is deemed to be even greater than Morya? Do you know, precious ones, that the flashing forth of my Life that is cloaked in the gentleness of peace is indeed embodying qualities of the first ray which, if I dared to release them, would cause the world itself to tremble? I say this, not in memory or in honor of my own being, but I say it in honor of the office which I hold, which beloved Morya would gladly attest to, as all the hosts of heaven.
For our office cloaked in peace is also filled with the energies of God to the overflowing, which energies can stimulate the soul of man till he has such soul-knowing and strength of being that he can pursue his seeing into the inner spheres and wax hot in the destiny of God that passes beyond the years and brings no fright to those men of courage who will realize that the epochs of the night must be bypassed and they must stand as lions to overcome all of the darkness and shadow and substance which they have misqualified in their bestial natures and put upon themselves the power of the Lamb of God that taketh away the stains and sins of the world.1
Precious ones, as I speak to you tonight I am now transferring my consciousness to the Great Altar in the Grand Teton where the glorious songs are ringing forth in praise to God. The mighty Holy Kumaras are also descending from Venus, and there is a wondrous glow that illumines the Teton area so that all around the mountains the Holiness, as once at Horeb's height,2 shines forth its beams all over America, streaming forth to the nation's capital and to the far West the wondrous power of light rays to unite and encourage men in hopes of overcoming pain, darkness, sin, and stain.
You see, precious ones, the battle of Armageddon is at hand, and so we await now the moment when the powers from on high shall descend to us the thoughtform for this year, this current year now begun.
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth:
For the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; And there was no more sea.3
Behold, precious ones, the new heaven is at hand and the new earth is at hand. The newness of heaven is the renewal of the Christ mind in man. The newness of earth is the new civilization emerging because of the inflow of the Christ mind. And the "no more sea" refers to the stilling of man's banal emotions and the acceptance of God-controlled peace in the hearts of men.
And now behold, I see a golden scroll descending from God out of heaven and upon it there is one word and the word is PEACE, and this is also written in gold. And now the hand of an angel adds two very small words beneath - With Honor. And I see the cosmic honor flame of God blazing from afar as a candle in the dark that passes through the universe and causes life to start, to regenerate, to purify, to be all that he is and all that I am and all that you are in the great divine reality of your being.
O precious ones, why will ye forget celestial magnitudes in banalities and crudities of human reason? Why will you not shed now the dust of the centuries of oppression when you have covered your souls with the slime from the mud-baked plains? Why will you be empty vessels when you can be full? Receive then today the staff of the pilgrim.
For as I am speaking to you and seeing this beauteous scroll thoughtform with the word PEACE With Honor, I am reminded of the search of the pilgrims in past ages. I am reminded of these holy men and of how they walked in an era when no modern increment of civilization was theirs, of how they walked in an era without the wondrous magic of the lamps of modernity, when they walked in an era when the heat was provided by the log from the forest and from the peat from bogs and from various sources of flame far different than you now employ.
I am reminded of how they prepared their food with great difficulty and of how the growing without modern instruments was accomplished by the nature devas and builders of form and yet harvested with considerable difficulty. I am reminded of the difficulties of transportation and communication.
And I am reminded now of how these pilgrims suffered great privation and hardship in a time when your modern science of medicine - not endowed by Hilarion and his band - was unable to minister to their pains and of how, without the benefit of modern drugs and serums, mankind did suffer the full-blown agony of their creations.
I call to you, then, to remember that these pilgrims sought in the long ago, with staff in hand, to walk across the face of the years and to peer upon the face of Eternity. Their courage, rather than grow dim, became more magnificent with the passing of the years, and many of them became seers of God, prophets, and holy men who walked the earth and brought the comfort flame and the flame of peace to hearts that were sad and lonely.
And now today as I speak to you in this great age when you are endowed with so many wondrous blessings, I trust that all of you will give thanks to God for these material things but will not pin your faith upon them as the ultimate, seeing them only as a means to afford your precious beings
Time, time, time
To find God in his eternity
In time, time, time.
Time, time, time
To chime, chime, chime
With the ring of celestial immortality.
Time, time, time
To find God with the passing of the years
Time, time, time
To cast out all your fears.
Time, time, time
To be the essence of peace.
I say to you now, in the name of the Brotherhood that is with me: Go! Be!
Peace. Pax vobiscum. Sancti, sancti, sancti Harmonium,4 I thank you and bid you good night.
