The Maltese Cross which is symbolical of my dedication to the cause of freedom is a balanced cross whereby one may illustrate certain aspects of power. As many realize, a cross symbolizes the meeting of two planes of consciousness. The horizontal member of the cross symbolizes the human plane of consciousness, or the plane of the ego; the vertical segments are symbolical of the energies of God descending into the plane of matter. The center where the two lines cross is the point where the energies of heaven are released to earth, and in very truth it is at this point which is the point of the power of qualification—that requires great alertness on the part of all who use power in its many aspects, including the many nonorganic manifestations.
The power of speech itself, the power in the spoken word, and the power of the Word—whether released by pen or edict of sword—changes the course of history and alters the life of those affected by its release. The tangled threads of power have always flowed from the orifice indicated by the center of the cross. The Maltese Cross is intended to be a symbol of perfect balance. The drawing forth of energy from on high and its manifestation in the world of form is that perfect energy beamed forth both to the right and to the left in a perfect balance of power.
Blessed ones, it is easy to complicate that which is simple, but it is often most difficult to simplify that which is really complicated. This I shall attempt to do for you in this study. When a child first begins the study of mathematics he is dealing with very simple things; he can then little conceive of the intricate threads of logarithms and abstract equations.
Man should then realize that the perfection of God must take into account the training of the child-man; that so-called “cradles of negation” (e.g. the world of form) have been created as the place or testing school where transmutation and noble changes can be effected that will result in an expansion of the flame of freedom, raising man into his total Identity and divine manhood. In simplifying the understanding concerning the release of power it will be shown that the bodies of man are receptacles of that power.

A detached view of life’s situations can be most helpful in finding the key to solving both personal and world problems. Personal involvement frequently creates hidden tension, which is not recognized even by the most astute; this tension acts to prevent the full play of infinite grace within the individual and the development of his capacity to understand and amend erroneous conditions within his world. The admonishment, “Physician, heal thyself,” would almost be satirical were it not for the fact that man can work changes of attitude and action right within his own world in order to appropriate for himself the glowing fervor of God’s own healing rays.
All may safely conclude that the Great Physician, the Lord Christ, the immaculate concept of God, the eternal Counsellor, the wonderful Prince of Peace, the Star of Hope (also known as the Star of David) is the only begotten Son of the Father, the light of Christ-intelligence which sheds its beams across the pages of the ages right into the personal domain of every man and woman who can and will open the doorway to his own heart of being and receive the light of the Infinite One through the inscribed “Christ arc of the eternal covenant.”
Enigma may be observed in the divine manifestation but not in the divine intent. It is indeed the Father’s good pleasure to give man the kingdom, for the allness of the eternal purpose is intended to be made known! Much of the inherent mystery in self and cosmos is either protective or interlocked and sometimes it manifests as a combination of both. In my use of the word protective I reference the secrets of the universe which can only be imparted to the individual who is a safe depository for immortal secrets, one who would not use the power of universal knowledge to harm his fellowman or to divert the purposes of God from their full manifestation. The “interlocked” secrets of the universe resemble mighty historical and scientific works which are adroitly placed within the libraries of life. It is true that some wisdom is needed to search them out, and thus they are inherently interlocked within the fabric of time and space, available for the great adventure of discovery which is every man’s right.
Men ought not to be overly concerned with those secrets of the universe which are under the protective custody of God and the heavenly hosts, but those who would demonstrate wisdom in her many facets ought to be willing to devote some time to introspection and examination of their own motives so that they can clearly see those which are selfish and divest themselves of these hindrances to spiritual progress. Strange as it may seem, selfish motivation acts to call a halt to progress at a certain point in the game of life. There is only one way to escape from such stultification, and that is to remove the obstacle by removing selfish motivation from consciousness. Without introspection individuals may often move on in the great stream of life and time, perpetuating their own errors and wandering in the wilderness of self-delusion and self-desolation.
The Promised Land abundant with fruit and flower is one in which the verdure is developed from the great eternal springs of Christly manifestation. Each man on earth is intended to be one for whom the desert will bloom as the rose.

There is a touchstone of reality within mankind which when attuned to will enable men to clearly perceive the reality of that which is truth and to separate themselves from that which is error. The Holy Spirit will always produce the perfection of Almighty God in the consciousness of mankind. Joy and love will abound together with true peace, but all should understand clearly the great mystery of how true peace is achieved through the Spirit of Truth.
Men whose deeds are evil often love darkness rather than light; and there is a fruit of darkness, an evolution of darkness which proceeds from dreary minds damp with rank emotionalism; unsatisfied even with self-adulation they remain fettered by the conditionings of mortality.
The Son of God is not so and the Spirit of God is not so, for the Spirit of God moves across the margent of the world bestowing at will His gift of reality to every man. Far above speculations of mortal mind that are used to justify a way of life, the Spirit of God transcends human philosophy and replaces it with the divine theosophy. Searching out the vastness of the Divine Self and translating it for the human self, the power of the Word lights man’s path that he may clearly see the way to go.
Of all the heartrending problems encountered by mankind upon this planet the one that is most trying to spiritual seekers is the question: Which is the correct or true path? Many are the innocent lambs of God who know not that there are traps laid for them, nor do they expect to find wolves in sheep’s clothing preaching from the pulpits of the world. They have not reckoned with those unregenerate spirits who have spawned a luciferian theology to keep the children of God from finding the true path. Jesus said “I AM the way,” but the Sadducees and Pharisees have loudly proclaimed another way and through their sorcery have exercised a hypnotic control over the people. Practicing black magic as blatantly today as they did in the Dark Ages, they bind the faithful to doctrine and personality through their satanic lies of hellfire and damnation.
Wise are the disciples of God who will understand then that there are abroad in the world false doctrines in large number created out of whole cloth by men whose consciousness has been contaminated through personality worship with the silt of their own sensual concepts. Those who would know the truth and thus be free must understand that many of these gross figures surround themselves with an aura of sanctity, profundity and peace combined with the mystique of veiled prophecy. Thus those who require the exclusiveness of a personality cult are often sucked into the “hallowed circle” of the false prophets who succeed in playing God by playing upon the credulity of the masses.
The Holy Spirit speaks with great plainness and forthrightness; nevertheless the laws of God, so obvious and so charged with common sense, so apparent in nature and so natural to the heart of man, are often ignored for the dimwitted complexities of intellectual sophistry. Those who rise to positions of prominence in the religious community have no qualms about fabricating a multitude of rationalizations that confuse the people and in some cases even inspire them to espouse noble causes when for a time it suits their ends.
In this day when the elect can indeed be deceived it is necessary that We stimulate among mankind the desire for correct understanding of the spiritual path. Initiations abound; and the circumstances of initiation whereby mankind’s devotion to truth is tested from day to day are often brought about through the ministrations of the Holy Spirit coordinated through the office of the Cosmic Christ. When these initiations are passed the unfolding soul awareness of man is caught up into the arms of God and revitalized in His blessed consciousness of the truth that indeed makes all men free.
When men say “peace and safety” often sudden destruction cometh upon them. When men rebel against turmoil and against the confusion of the outer world, turning aside to a realm of separation from their fellowmen at times great blessing may flow to them. But there must come about an eventual return to contact and association with mankind, for in the world of form karmic debts have been made through the mingling of the spirit of man with the spirit of man. Retreat and withdrawal are only for the purposes of gaining perspective and gathering spiritual knowledge that will enable men to be useful instruments of the Spirit of the eternal Father, the Holy Spirit.
When surrounded by turmoil and the din of that which does not seem to be at peace men must pursue the pathways of peace and be undisturbed by outer conditions. The Law of infinite Love is the supplier of opportunity for balance to every lifestream. When men shy away from their opportunities to balance their debts to life they are withholding from themselves the opportunity of the hour. Through grace and perfection there flows forth from the heart of God the valiant manifestation of spiritual victory. And thus while turmoil and conflict may arise, even as men seek to draw closer unto God, when families and friends withdraw or are offended by reason of the chela’s devotion to the Laws of God and to spiritual service--“rejoice and be glad” yet have no strange concept of antipathy toward thy brothers but only the silent glow of the love from thy heart that refuses to be dismayed or pulled into the maelstrom of human affection.
God and His Spirit have desired to draw mankind not away and apart but upward and together into the realm of spiritual regeneration where the brotherhood of man, uniting with the Fatherhood of God, perceives the bond of the Holy Spirit as the cement of cosmic unity. There is no need then for men to fear when the battle for men’s minds is bursting all around them, rather should they seek the association of the ascended masters of light, the true and faithful witnesses of the Law, and the sanctity of the Divine Presence that is both above and within.
Let your search for the true religion of God be one of diligence and not of discouragement. Did he not say “Seek, and ye shall find”? Therefore accept the promise and bid the Spirit of God welcome in your world. If you would make a place in the temple of your being for the Lord’s Spirit, you must end feelings of hostility toward all men, toward the self and even toward the justice of the Law that in exacting its toll may have caused you some distress. Let the love-light of God occupy your eye and heart; and let the flow of His Spirit through you be as the wind from the mountain: a penetrating call to action. As the Lord liveth, His Spirit is the great activator of all that is holy and mighty within you!
Men have deceived themselves; but through God they shall be awakened from the darkness of self-deceit, and the hand of mortal error that was laid upon them shall be lifted. Shadows upon the path are dissipated by the initiatic light, and the bond of true devotion unites hearts as never before. The Brotherhood seeks practical manifestation of the Spirit as a balm of fervent action that will lift the burdens of mankind. Then shall all be changed in the twinkling of the eye of God, and the veil that hung between the spirit of man and the Spirit of God shall be rent in twain. Then shall man know that he is ready to be fashioned by His Spirit in the divine image; then shall man himself transfer from heaven to earth the perfect pattern for a planet and its evolutions.
I remain your advocate of completeness,
The Lord Maha Chohan: Pearls of Wisdom 9:31
