O mighty tides of Light, come forth swiftly now and bid them welcome!
The violet flame descends, and all are free from discord and discordant manifestations. The purity of God, the pearl of great price,1 comes forth. Bid this pearl welcome into thy world.
Iridescence, rainbow facets of spiritual light, blaze forth from this immortalized substance!
The infinite compassion of the All-Father rest upon you all and abide.
Precious ones, the simplicity of God has been eulogized - but oh, how complex is this mighty simplicity!
You have a science, and there are many aspects of the holy science of God. But in the vain imaginings of mankind down through the centuries, they have not been able, except through spiritual means, to find permanent happiness. With all of their getting, unless they have received the understanding2 of the purity of spiritual victory, they have labored in vain.3
Now, as I come tonight to bid you welcome at this wondrous hour, at this solemn convocation dedicated to the holy cause of freedom, I am reminded of the fact that many of you in your calls to God have asked to be taken to temples of light that you might be initiated into a greater degree of cosmic understanding and blessing, in order that you might find freedom from every aspect of human discord that has troubled your heart and mind, that you might know to a greater measure the fullness of Christ peace. And therefore, tonight, as I draw near with effulgent garments of light, I am determined to bring you some measure of compressed Christ peace.
You see, beloved ones, you live in time, which is sparse in its concentrations. For man's use of time has often been most impractical. But we live in the octaves of light, where our every thought is the magnification of the kingdom of God in a most wondrous scientific way, whereby the problems which mankind cope with are lessened as a result of our services. But we ourselves are enabled in a magnificent transcendentalism to rise above the particular spiritual status which we had at the moment our ascension was conferred upon us.
Do you see, beloved ones, the process of initiation is a most wondrous method whereby the aspirant is lifted upon the cosmic ladder, step by step, into realms of greater achievement? Then it is necessary that all should understand that this present hour, this time and place, is but a springboard whereby you may eventually make a cosmic leap into your ascension, finding a new freedom and harmony such as you have known only on occasions while embodied in flesh.
When you attain, then, to this wondrous position whereby you are able to behold the face of God in greater measure, you will find that many wonderful ideas which you had never even considered during your entire embodiment are made known to you by the mind of God. You will understand, then, the cosmic necessity for the lowering of veils4 and compartments to separate and segregate mankind in an intellectual and spiritual way so that individuals' karma might thereby be balanced in a most scientific manner.
Consider for a moment, blessed ones, if the life situations of individuals were not developed and planned by the Karmic Board in such a manner as to bring out of the crucible of experience the best possible attainment, what it would mean to mankind.
Why, blessed ones, if this were not done by cosmic law, mankind would be retrogressing and falling backward; whereas, under the present system, all mankind (even though they do not always realize it) are forging ahead embodiment after embodiment, moving toward the great goals of eternal Life.
Mankind today, ranged round about then by veils which they cannot pierce, take measure of one another without having the proper spiritual vision. This is why the command has gone forth so often: Judge not lest ye be judged. For with what judgment ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.5
Do you see, precious ones, inasmuch as there are so many wondrous experiences that are yet coming to you after your ascension, that you ought to most diligently prepare in this day and age for your cosmic victory?
I think all of you will recognize immediately that the young scholars of this day and age continually prepare themselves that they may attain some place in the world of man and in the affairs of mankind. Some of them, blessed ones, almost from their earliest years, begin to make preparation whereby they may select some particular office. Others drift with the times and are content to accept whatever life offers them.
I think that here, in this place, there are assembled magnificent lifestreams compared to the norm upon the planetary body. And therefore, you, blessed ones, present a best hope to those of heaven's sons.
In bidding you welcome to this class, I urge you to accept no past set of experiences as criteria for that which shall be done in this class. For it is our aim to eclipse all that has been done in the past by a magnificent God-outpouring that shall enable some of you to propel yourselves forward into your victory in an almost unprecedented manner!
Now this cannot be done, of course, unless you are willing to give ear to the words of every ascended being who shall speak throughout this conference - unless you are willing to attune with your own Mighty I AM Presence until you will hear the voice of your own Presence giving you the necessary instruction which cannot be imparted in mere worded form but must be heard in the temple of your own being as unspeakable words that cannot be uttered.
Blessed ones, I know full well (for I, too, have had experiences upon your planet) the toll of human skepticism. Individuals, basing their lives upon human wisdom, have gone down constantly into delusions and pitfalls of the human ego. They have lived life after life upon the planetary body without ever making significant progress.
Others, who were devoted in their hearts to God, although they were simple people, have progressed remarkably and have attained not only spiritual gifts and graces, but mighty outpourings of divine wisdom.
You see, blessed ones, we of heaven's sons do not engage in forms of lottery. But if we were to bet upon anyone, it would be upon the spiritual aspirant. For we know that such men and women - although they may at times suffer as a result of their own karmic situations carried over from past embodiments - will rise above and transcend every outer condition and will ultimately progress in the light to the point where they will win their victory.
My words that I speak to you tonight are words of compassion. For as I search the minds and hearts of those assembled here, I find that some have had feelings in the past of human discouragement concerning themselves. And therefore, I would like to speak directly to every one of you who has ever felt discouraged with any outer condition of yourself that you could not seem to master.
I call to your attention, blessed ones, that these outer conditions are the result of a momentum, and that these momentums are based upon human acceptance of mankind's thoughts and feelings. If, then, you shall determine with God-determination to overthrow these outer conditions, you cannot possibly fail. For the light of God does not fail! And therefore, you will be lifted out of those conditions when you will accept in full faith that God can act through you to purify your worlds and to make you the fullness of all that God desires you to be.
Now, blessed ones, as I am speaking to you, I wonder if many of you realize the tremendous opposition which is generated by human thought and feeling throughout the world itself to the coming forth of my words. You see, there is always an outer action which attempts to stop the manifestation of the victory of God upon this planet. This is an unconscious action in most cases, for outside of the black magicians and those who in ignorance practice malicious acts, the average individual today is suffering simply as a result of his own frustrations and struggles to satisfy his own vanity.
However, the chelas of light are distinctly separate from the world at large in their dedication, and they shall ultimately manifest the fullness of the Mighty I AM Presence - not only at inner levels, but also in the outer realms of form.
Now, blessed ones, as I come to you tonight, I would like particularly to call to your attention that this planet is a very small speck of dust in the cosmic scale. I would like to call to your attention that there are a few individuals in this audience who were embodied upon a planet that existed millions and millions of years ago, and yet you remain in embodiment upon a planet and have not made your ascension.
The name of that planet was Eron. And if you will say those words in your own mind, you will realize that that specific planet - which has itself ascended and won its victory - experienced many conditions similar to this earth. Now, precious ones, if you will realize the significance of that which I am speaking to you tonight, it will spur you on to your victory.
Do you realize that there are individuals in this audience who millions of years ago were embodied in flesh forms upon a planet similar to this one? And yet, because those individuals would not summon the faith from God to actually accept the fullness of their own Mighty I AM Presence, they are yet in the bondage of the flesh!
At first this may seem almost unjust. But when you realize, precious ones, that each individual determines by his acceptance of his own Mighty God Presence and use of his free will the laws of God, you will realize that this is not unjust in any respect.
Hold fast now,6 then, in faith, to the cosmic possibilities of what it will mean to you if you will accept that I AM able to free every one of you - if you will accept it - from the forces of destruction that have caused mankind to accept the miasma of human consciousness and live in it.
Precious ones, I am preparing a mighty cosmic release of light substance. Those of you who were present here recently in [attendance at] an address will recall that the Lord Maha Chohan placed here a most magnificent focus of light which was to remain until this class was terminated.7 Tonight I shall draw upon the energy that was placed here by the Lord Maha Chohan, and I shall radiate that energy through this audience in ribbons of blue flame.
Now, at the specific moment when I release these ribbons of blue flame, those of you who have enough faith to accept it may take this into your hearts' chalices and use it to cut yourselves free from every single outer condition that you have ever created which has caused suffering to any other part of life.
In other words, blessed ones, if you have ever created any karmic condition which has held you in bondage to another individual, if you will accept these ribbons of blue flame this night, it will anchor you into a very special activity of the great Karmic Board whereby you will be able to balance that condition in the near future by some specific act of love which you may do to some other individual upon the planet. And through this act of love, you will have full compensation and deliverance from any condition whatsoever that you have ever created in the past.
This is an activity designed to free those of you who have for so long been held in bondage to the flesh and to all that the flesh implies. Therefore, I say to you tonight that the action of spiritual attainment that can be generated by your acceptance of this gift of God is tremendous in itself and is an activity which is calculated to mightily assist you unto your ascension.
Now, blessed ones, I ask that you hold your hands clasped together directly before you and form a little cup, or chalice, right before your heart. Now I ask that in silence you contemplate the mercy of God. Recognize that the mercy of God is like a sea of infinite light. No man, no condition, no spiritual force of any kind has any power to stay the mercy of God, for his mercy abideth forever!
As you contemplate the mercy of God in its beauteous purple color, radiating through the very heart of Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy, you must recognize that you individually, per se, can tie into that energy of Kuan Yin and the energy of God's own heart and receive the full release in your feeling world of any brittleness or hardness that you may secretly have harbored against any individual - no matter who that individual is or in what embodiment it may have occurred.
I ask now that your pianist play for a brief period, during which I shall prepare for the release of these ribbons of blue-flame substance. When I am prepared to release that substance, it shall be done and I shall so signify by the spoken word. Meanwhile, I ask that each one of you relax in consciousness. Let all tension fade from your mind and being - all feelings of age, all feelings of resentments, all feelings of shadowed substance or even the weight of your physical body.
I ask that you shall realize that your eyes are the eyes of God and that you have the full right to behold good in all creation. I ask that you realize that when you behold good in all creation, your two eyes are indeed `single-eye vision',8 holding an immaculate concept of cosmic purity which is then released into the world of form and is not a spirit of criticism, condemnation, or judgment, but a spirit of Christ love and compassion.
Now, blessed ones, listen as you imbibe from the very heart of God the great feeling of cosmic mercy that always forgives all mankind and even any resentment you have ever held against the universe itself or the Creator. I thank you.
O Defenders of the Faith, Archangel Michael, take now your cosmic sword of blue flame and come forth and cut through the atmosphere and release the flaming ribbons of blue fire into the heart chalices of all those who accept in faith the gift of God's love and mercy!
Initiate these souls into the full meaning of the law of forgiveness, that they will clasp to their hearts the mighty benevolence that is conveyed to the entire earth when it is cleansed by the purifying fires of God's own holiness that holds all in reverence and regeneration and casts aside the ideas of men that hold mankind in mockery and derision.
Far too long has the world looked at one another with an impure eye to say of this one and of that one: "There is a spiritual leper - there goes an individual marked by the stigma of sin. There is an individual that cannot walk uprightly, for that man is dishonest."
Blessed ones, the hour has come when the pure in heart must see God. And when the pure in heart see God, it means that they, in their own spirit of cosmic benevolence, will tie into the great cosmic onrush of God's own benevolence that rushes forth to give to everyone upon the planet the full measure of the divine concept which speaketh in this wise: And the LORD God saw the creation which he had made, and behold, it was very good.9 Therefore, all men everywhere, measured by the cosmic measurement,10 will be timber - worthy of use in the house of God, worthy to enter in to the mighty cosmic mountain.
Some of you are familiar with the story of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. You recall how he led all of the young people of the community into the mountain, playing his flute and making them happy, and how they marched across the sunlit streets to the mountain where a doorway opened. And then they all marched in and the mountain closed.
This, blessed ones, is a fable, and yet it has certain elements of truth in it. For mankind, when they shall hear the immortal pipings of the cosmic host, will understand that as happy children, they must troop together with those of the LORD's band until they have received all of the God-happiness which he intends to give to all.
None dare look to the right or to the left at those who cannot accept the cosmic call, at those who do not have the faith to accept the power of God. These individuals are often unhappy and dissatisfied with life. And yet the chelas of light are not so. They are the seekers, the blessed souls who have determined to mold and to shape the world in accordance with its God-design.
I say, ye are splendid jewels and worthy of purification. Therefore, I come this night that you might have the purifying scourging of the activity of light. For those whom God loveth he chasteneth, that he might receive many sons and bring them into their freedom and out of captivity.11
Captivity, blessed ones, is often upon mankind before he is aware of it; and he does not know that he is the victim of circumstances of his own creation. But there is never any need to sustain the action that binds mankind. For the power of the flame of freedom forever blazes in the hearts of all, and when all shall accept that power it shall reduce to ashes the cords that have bound mankind, and cause him to know the wonders of eternal freedom.
Blessed ones, there is a special reason for this address this night. It is given to you as a cosmic initiation - not to startle you or in any way to make you affrighted, but to bring you a sense of the greatness of God. For in this little dictation which I have given you, I have spoken to you of planetary systems that existed millions of years ago.
Some of you have somehow become enmeshed in a concept of the world. You have thought in terms of a few thousand years, or even a few million years, and of the creation as having occurred as of recent date. Well, blessed ones, the wonders of eternity are so vast as to defy the comprehension of the human mind. But when you receive the gift of your ascension and your mind becomes tied to the Mind of God, it will expand and expand and expand, taking in ever greater areas of cosmos, until at last you will find in the great knowing of the Mind of God the complete peace that comes to every ascended being.
We received this gift of peace before our ascension. And when we received our ascension, we came to the full measure of knowing. And yet, in the infinite Mind of God there is always the constant drawing aside of new veils that have hid some wondrous discovery from our being.
You see, blessed ones, mankind, not knowing the ascended state, fancy that we know all things and that there are no initiations in our octave. I assure you such is not the case.
For having won your freedom, you will find that there is almost the fullness of universal infinity looming before you. And there will come a point in your own experience where you will feel that you have not yet even begun to live. This experience is referred to as the cosmic dark night of the soul. And it has naught to do with the initiatic experience which mankind have encountered upon the pathway here. This refers to the point where after the ascension the initiate is given an experience calculated to inspire him with the infinite possibilities of his own Godhood.
Do you see, blessed ones, then, that in this wonderful, paramount hope of life eternal, there is reserved forever and forever and forever blessings of newness of life to be poured out upon mankind for all eternity?
I tell you, you will never be bored with heaven! For you will always find new wonders of creation revealed before the screen of your mind, until in the illustrious wonders of God you become possessors of the white stone of infinite power in which is written a new name which no man knoweth saving him that receiveth it.12
And do you know, blessed ones, that all of you can say the name of God, I AM? And yet those who can say "I AM" in the fullness of the acceptance of their freedom have discovered the new name which God will reveal to them at that hour and day.
Ladies and gentlemen, in preparation for a tremendous spiritual activity on the morrow, I take my leave of you. But I shall be here with others of the ascended masters who shall come forth throughout this class to bless you with the fullness of God's light in the holy name of Freedom.
I thank you and bid you good night.
