Dismas (the dying thief) to whom Jesus uttered the words of pardon

1)     from the Great Seal of the United States of America as E Pluribus Unum (One Out of Many) which in its greater meaning comes full-circle to read:  Many Out of One in Unity of Action--political, educational and religious who shall draw nigh unto their Creator in a feeling of such oneness as will glorify the ageless Christ of all whose active unity is ever dwelling in the one light of every man!           -Maitreya:  Pearls of Wisdom 3:5

…..........................................…..........................................

2)  Numerous examples are found in the scriptures where seemingly dissolute or criminal figures seemed to center around the life of Jesus and find benefit thereby.  There is the notorious figure of Dismas (the dying thief) to whom Jesus uttered the words of pardon “Verily I say unto thee--today shalt thou be with me in paradise.”  Then there is the woman Magdalene who became one of the chief lady disciples, and the Samaritan woman at the well whose marriage status seemed questionable to the moral religionists of the day.  All these found in Jesus solace, peace and friendship, attaining greater blessings than some of the self-righteous among mankind.          -Maitreya:  Pearls of Wisdom  4-35

‘Crucifixion by Hans von Tübingen showing the good thief on the right side of Christ, and the impenitent thief on the left side of Christ with a devil

  The two thieves are not named in the Bible.  However an apocryphal book, The Book of Nicodemus, which Bible scholars date to the fourth century AD on the Biblical timeline names the repentant or good thief Dysmas or Dismas and the thief who mocks Jesus is named Gestas.  https://amazingbibletimeline.com/blog/names-of-two-thieves-christ/

4)   Whether it be canonical or not, it is of very great antiquity, and is 

appealed to by several of the ancient Christians. The present translation is made from the Gospel, published by Grynaeus in the Orthodoxographa, vol, i, torn, ii, p. 61 3. 

Notwithstanding the diversity of opinions here alluded to, the majority of the learned believe that the internal evidence of the authenticity of this Gospel is manifested in the correct details of that period of Christ' s life on which it treats, while it far excels the canonical Evangelists narrative of the trial of our Saviour before Pilate, with more minute particulars of persons, evidence, circumstance, &c. …

Ch. 3, pt. 8 Pilate answering, said to Jesus, 

Am I a Jew?  The whole nation and 

rulers of the Jews have delivered 

thee up to me.  What hast thou done? 

9 Jesus answering, said, My kingdom 

is not of this world: if my kingdom 

were of this world, then would my 

servants fight, and I should not have 

been delivered to the Jews: but now 

my kingdom is not from hence. 

10 Pilate said, Art thou a king then? 

Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I 

am a king: to this end was I born, 

and for this end came I into the 

world; and for this purpose I came, 

that I should bear witness to the 

truth; and every one who is of the 

truth, heareth my voice. 

11 Pilate saith to him, What is 

truth? 

12 Jesus said, Truth is from heaven. 

13 Pilate said, Therefore truth is not 

on earth. 

14 Jesus saith to Pilate, Believe that 

truth is on earth among those, who 

when they have the power of judg- 

ment, are governed by truth, and 

form right judgment….

8 Again they cry out and say to Pil- 

ate, You are not the friend of 

Caesar, if you release this man; for 

he hath declared that he is the Son 

of God, and a king.  But are you in- 

clined that he should be king, and 

not Caesar? …

Ch. 6, pt. 9 Then Pilate filled with anger said 

to them, Your nation hath always 

been seditious, and you are always 

against those who have been service- 

able to you. 

10 The Jews replied, Who are those 

who have been serviceable to us? 

11 Pilate answered them, Your God 

who delivered you from the hard 

bondage of the Egyptians, and 

brought you over the Red Sea as 

though it had been dry land, and fed 

you in the wilderness with manna 

and the flesh of quails, and brought 

water out of the rock, and gave you 

a law from heaven. 

12 Ye provoked him all ways, and 

desired for yourselves a molten calf, 

and worshipped it, and sacrificed to 

it, and said, These are thy Gods, O 

Israel, which brought thee out of the 

land of Egypt: 

13 On account of which your God 

was inclined to destroy you; but 

Moses interceded for you, and your 

God heard him, and forgave your 

iniquity. 

14 Afterwards ye were enraged 

against, and would have killed your 

prophets, Moses and Aaron, when 

they fled to the tabernacle, and ye 

were always murmuring against God 

and his prophets. 

15 And arising from his judgment 

seat, he would have gone out; but 

the Jews all cried out, "We acknow- 

ledge Caesar to be king, and not Je- 

sus; …

Ch. 7, pt. 3 And in like manner did they to the 

two thieves who were crucified with 

him, Dimas on his right hand and 

Gestas on his left. …

10 But one of the two thieves who 

were crucified with Jesus, whose 

name was Gestas, said to Jesus, If 

thou art the Christ, deliver thyself 

and us. 

11 But the thief who was crucified 

on his right hand, whose name was 

Dimas, answering, rebuked him, and 

said, Dost not thou fear God, who 

art condemned to this punishment? 

We indeed receive rightly and justly 

the demerit of our actions; but this 

Jesus, what evil hath he done? 

12 After this, groaning, he said to 

Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou 

comest into thy kingdom. 

13 Jesus answering, said to him, 

Verily I say unto thee, that this day 

thou shalt be with me in Paradise. …

Ch. 8, pt.9 And calling the Jews together, said 

to them, Have ye seen the miracle of 

the sun's eclipse, and the other 

things which came to pass, while Je- 

sus was dying? 

10 Which when the Jews heard, they 

answered to the governor, The ec- 

lipse of the sun happened according 

to its usual custom. 

11 But all those who were the ac- 

quaintance of Christ, stood at a dis- 

tance, as did the women who had 

followed Jesus from Galilee, ob- 

serving all these things. 

12 And behold a certain man of Ar- 

imathaea, named Joseph, who was 

also a disciple of Jesus, but not 

openly so, for fear of the Jews, came 

to the governor, and entreated the 

governor that he would give him 

leave to take away the body of Jesus 

from the cross. 

13 And the governor gave him leave.

5)   And so they all have their chance to get in their digs--even both thieves, one on either side.  It is very interesting that Mark's account states that both of those thieves spoke out against him. They reviled him.  Luke's account says that one reviled him and the other asked "Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom."  And it is said that Jesus said "This day shalt thou be with me in paradise.”  But this is not Mark's account.  Matthew agrees with Mark; and John is silent.  I think it is important to realize that at the sixth hour darkness covered the whole land. The sixth hour is the point of the soul's identification with the Mother-flame.  It is the counterpart of the Father.   

-Messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet:  4-1-1983

6)  In Hebrew time, this would mean noon (or midnight), but if John used the supposed Roman time, it would be six o'clock in the morning.  The Gospel of Mark refers to Christ being crucified at the "third hour," darkness from "the sixth hour to the ninth hour," and Christ's last words shortly after the "ninth hour".    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_timekeeping

8)  Lilith moon Square, opposite or quincunx Venus:  The native is torn in a heightened conflict between individuality and conformity, particularly in the context of relationships or style.  The vacillation between radical subversion of social standards and passive adherence to them is a matter of choosing between happiness and harmony, both of which are crucially important.  The native may lose relationships or general popularity for their stigmatized qualities, which deeply harms their self-esteem. They wish to fully be themselves but cannot reconcile that with the risks that come with it – they are unsure of its worth, which subsequently leads to uncertain self-worth as a whole.

9)  Moon Lilith is the geometric point in the sky that marks the furthest point of the moon’s orbit around the earth.  (Because the moon’s orbit is elliptical, it has two center points; one is the earth, and the other is Moon Lilith.)  This dark void, which stays approximately nine months in each sign, embodies the very essence of the "goddess" Lilith.  In an astrology chart Moon Lilith represents a person’s primitive impulses and behavior in their rawest form.  It reveals our repressed sexuality, together with what makes us feel most vulnerable; it expresses the dark side of one’s personality, buried deep in the subconscious realms of our psyche.  Knowing where Moon Lilith is located in a birth chart can reveal information related to the shadow self, and can also determine possible hidden sexual fantasies and secret fetishes.

Lilith in Taurus

  In Taurus, Lilith is irresistible, to say the least.  She is incredibly sensual, but her love for the finer things in life could be a bit over-the-top.  Those with their Lilith in Taurus love sex and affection wholeheartedly, and will do almost anything for pleasure; hence, it is their karmic duty to control their sensuality and possessiveness.  On a brighter note Lilith in Taurus can be intoxicatingly charming.…   Lilith in Scorpio

  Lilith exalts in Scorpio, meaning she is at her most potent form in the sign of the scorpion.  She’s incredibly seductive here, hunting down lovers like prey, and sex with her can be hauntingly erotic.  Lilith in Scorpio is obsessive and jealous with her loved ones.  As part of her karmic duty, she must learn the value of trust.  Either way, Lilith in Scorpio’s smoldering intensity will have her lovers eating from the palm of her hand.   https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/d355zq/the-point-in-your-star-chart-that-reveals-your-hidden-sexual-desires

to see to it that men do comprehend the light

1)    To pray, to petition or to decree is all an attempt to call forth that which you desire.  If your manifold desires mainly exclude the inner but include much of the outer, you are eating the husks of life even if you receive all that for which you ask.  But if you turn your attention, beloved ones, more and more often upon the ascended host, ought it not to mean that you shall mirror Us even if at times somewhat imperfectly?  For it will still be Our image, God’s image, the Christ image, your own individualized flame of immortality which is being magnified within you for the pristine purpose of taking at last its rightful dominion which will set you free in accordance with the original divine plan!  You see where your treasure is there will your heart (your full attention) be also….

  Now the Great White Brotherhood is not a fable nor is it a mysterious organization to be dangled before the uninitiated as something which sets you apart from others or distinguishes you with temporal honor, neither is it intended to extinguish you in the ignominy of sincere but abject humility, but rather in the dignity of divine providence to provide an avenue or protected outlet where the Christ-light of the many can go forth in ordered service, divine dignity and everliving purity.     

                               -Lord Maitreya:  Pearls of Wisdom 3:5

……………………………………………………………..................................…..

2)   Thought must ever be governed in order to produce the harvest of perfection intended by the Father of all life--and yearned for by so many unascended today!…    

  To begin again, to begin anew countless times is better by far than to be blown off-course or to follow the whims of those blind leaders of the blind who refuse to hearken to the voice of conscience or to listen to the voice of God!     

                               -Lord Maitreya:  Pearls of Wisdom 3:39

…….………………………………………………………………......................

3)  The inner intentions of the heart are developed only in two ways:  either by hallowed attunement with your own God Presence I AM or by listening to the mass voices of discord from the megatons of misqualified energy which mankind have created.  Seed produces in kind.  Therefore the only safe counsel comes from above, where all cosmic virtue and purity are born.  That which raises you into your ascension comes from above, that which pulls you down into discord is from below.  It is that simple.  Forget then personality, even injustices, forget even your own needs for a moment if need be, and concentrate on service to others in the holy name and power of the Christ.  Do this and you shall find life even among the illusions of so-called death.  The great Law cannot be broken!  Every day is a portion of the holy season of eternity….

  The remedy must be applied constantly.  You did not wander away from the light in a moment--sometimes it takes more than a moment to find your way home, but it is dangerous to delay the journey when life offers such grand opportunities.

  So, blessed ones who have delayed or postponed, begin again, and you who have long plodded--continue!  Keep on and on and on!  The most shadowed hour is just before the dawn of initiation….Hold fast the light--the doorway into the eternal day of God.    

                  -Lord Maitreya:  Pearls of Wisdom 4:10

……………………………………………………………………...............................….

4)   Yet above all it must stand out clearly that the development of each one’s latent divinity is the purpose of life on earth and does not or cannot include the authorized condemnation of others whose understanding and illumination may not be as great as the understanding the observing one has attained.     

  Wise are they therefore who pray for the soul of all men, thus showing forth the divinity and friendship of Jesus for all, and never discriminate to condemn but only to personally avoid snares.  The cended masters feel that even the young disciple ought to be wise enough in Christ to know that if God made all men by one Spirit to a gloriously uncommon destiny—the ascension—then all ought to help one another to it and never—no never in any wise—act so as to discourage or hurt any one of God’s little ones who are all knowingly or unknowingly seeking the path back home….

Stay the restless energies that retaliate, the sharp word, the angry thought, the sense of personal injustice, for all this is vanity.  Replace it by the fullness of that love which, sweeping aside prejudice and error, lifts, exalts, heals, serves and is Godlike in manifestation even as it is Godlike in consciousness.

  I remain the standard-bearer for the age,    

  Lord Maitreya     Pearls of Wisdom 4:35  

……………………………………………………………………............................

5)   It is to the future the spiritual aspirant must gaze with unalterable constancy, observing the standard of its Holy Christ Self, who is the criteria of all—the ever-beaming Sun (Son) of righteousness whose healing wings stretch over the whole human family with protecting guidance….

  The spiritual science of the future indicates the importance of magnetizing the Holy Christ Self for another lifestream and calling upon it to descend into constant action in the outer personality, shedding its light and salvation to all.  This is the invocation of that which is immaculate and pure, this is the weaving of the first strands of the seamless robe of the Christ as a garment for another.  This is a karma-less way, for those who do this for another can never reap negative karma by so doing.   Indeed only good treasure is thereby stored up where thieves do not break in and steal, nor moths spoil, nor rust imperil when one holds the concept of immortal good for another and then like the good Samaritan of old draws this coat of light into another’s aura to clothe their human form….

  It is the duty, responsibility and action of Love itself to seek the masters’ way in all that it does.  As the sands of time then pass through the nexus of the glass of life such ones draw nearer and nearer to the perfection which is their true source, finding in an overcoming wave of the future a hope in Christ who is in verity the illumination of God, the purity of God, the creativity of God and the fullness of the Father manifesting in the sun or son (within themselves) who thus remain eternally a focus for Light, Life and Love which in the final sense is Good always. 

                               -Lord Maitreya:  Pearls of Wisdom 4:36

……………………………………………………………………………..

6)   Ceaseless misconceptions and feelings of uncertainty must be uprooted; yet in the process the wise will seek constantly to establish virtue wherever blight is removed or rendered inactive.  Transmutation of old negations must be followed by a reeducation of the energy patterns involved in order that nothing may be lost but that all may be constantly exalted and retrained in the ascending spiral. …

  The meaning of reality itself must be sought--and not in the human lexicon but in the great records of almighty perfection which the screen of nature holds side by side with those elements which may seem foreign to the divine purpose.  The excellence of the creation descending from the heart of God commingles with old and new interferences which are continuously being set up by mankind through his misuses of knowledge and power.  Great care must be used in distinguishing the real from the unreal and in determining the inherent goodness of a specific manifestation.  There is no finer instrument than the humble, gentle faith of a true believer in the justice of God whose every thought, charged with mercy, pursues understanding as a reason for being and knows that the fruit of that which is attained can never be lost….

  As man lets go of imperfection and securely holds the hand of God in full faith that the reality of Being and the full revelation thereof will unfold as the search not of a casual hour but of a lifetime of diligence, he finds personal fulfillment accelerated in each moment through the very processes of realization and acceptance.

 Acceptance then is an attitude of mind and heart which must be nurtured and sustained each day through conscious affirmation….For your expansion in the Christ-light  I AM    

Maitreya     Pearls of Wisdom 8:29

…….………………………………………………………………...............................

7)  The life-force in man must be governed not just by reason and desire but by the pure potential of be-ness, the mysterious comprehension of the light by itself.  If the fingers of the Law of God discover anomalies in the life-pattern of an individual and the result be a chastening, it is always for the purpose of greater spiritual fruit and a more abundant life to the one whom God has desired to try. …

  Grace…the swift acceptance by the sons of God of heavenly patterns for the establishment of the divine kingdom upon earth….To raise the self is to bring it to a point where the power of the light can penetrate the substance of their own world not only by their request but also by their invocation….

  The purpose of Our work in this day and age is to see to it that men do comprehend the light and that they walk upon the path of faith….By the power of truth the exposure of the darkness of the self takes place and then mankind is able to bring the darkness to the light in order that the light can transmute and redeem that darkness.  We deem this the process of the resurrection.  It is a re-surging of the uprightness that is now and always has been within man—within the Spirit of man….This is the emergence of the Corpus Christi, the body of Christ, out of the tomb of materiality.  It is the rolling away of the stone of matter which signifies the calcination of the carnal mind with all of its densities.  It is the purification of the countenance, the refusal of the soul to be enslaved by the legions and tribunals of Caesar or the power of the Sanhedrin….

  By releasing their light into manifestation through the presence of God which dwells in man as the Holy Christ flame within the heart, they “rise from the dead” of corporeal substance, of the paper world of illusion that has far too long held man in bondage.  The tangible reality of the radiant living Christ blazes through them because they have willingly and lovingly invoked it through their consciousness and through their flesh forms….Now then let us go and see the place where the Lord lay.   Within yourself envision the threefold flame of Life and God-intelligence, sealing you in His grace daily.      Pearls of Wisdom 10:10

8)   Carelessness often misdirects one’s motives, for motive too requires its own molding factors.  Thus the disciple must apply to the intelligence of the Christ-mind for a release of divine assistance in creating the very matrices that will subsequently direct his thoughts and feelings in the formation of the divine character of man from the heavenly blueprint.

  Man in the state of becoming is an uncut and unfinished stone; the smoothening efforts required to complete the nobility of manifestation are very great, yet the heavenly grace freely given to him is sufficient to execute a noble work with both alacrity and craftsmanship…those responses that come only from the brittleness of the human mind may lack the heart-qualities of comfortable flexibility, of cosmic conformity which so gently adhere to principle that the divine nature is breathed out with every breath.     

                                    -Maitreya     Pearls of Wisdom 10:34

  …………………………………………………………………...........................…

9)   The greatest initiations and the greatest revelations of the sacred mysteries can be invoked through simple faith in the imminent possibility of deliverance from those conditions which seem so deeply entrenched that one could very easily consider them to be hopeless.  Not so with God….Wise then is the soul who learns to retain that natural plasticity of mind and consciousness which will keep open the door to his highest good….

God who works in strange and mysterious ways wondrous to perform exhibits His love in both high places and low. …

  Receive then the manna of the divine mystery as the beautifully contrived blessing from the high watch of the spiritual overseers who gaze out hopefully on the fields of man’s experience, helping him to extract from those fields a harvest of qualitative grace.  Such grace becomes sufficient for each day.  For the Hierarchy in these days of trouble upon the planet continues to show that now more than ever the nutritional value of the manna from above, of the word of divine delight, gives the courage to take one’s stand with the Hhierarchy.  This is increasingly important to each seeker for strength and illumination.      

                        Maitreya    Pearls of Wisdom 11:8

………………………………………………………………………...............................…

10)  Those who would rise politically in the world often capitalize on the weaknesses of humanity in order to achieve their ends; their method is to set one segment of society against another by using both secular and religious issues to divide and conquer the minds of men whose hearts are in reality one.  This tactic is often the root and only cause of the underlying social problems that confront individuals and nations today….

  The sense of struggle must be shed and the windows of life must be opened wide that the fresh clean air of the Christ-consciousness may renovate the life process….I remain faithfully,     Lord Maitreya:  Pearls of Wisdom 12:43

The decree when given with reverence becomes a divine fiat

1)  What is it you mirror, O children of Earth longing to be free?   Is it the ephemeral fashions of the day or the eternal garments We wear?  In this great duality of active life which derives its motion and energy from an inner flame, where goes your attention, beloved ones?     

                      -Lord Maitreya:   Pearls of Wisdom 3:5

…….............................……...............................……..................................

2)  Truly the laborers are few, and the harvest is plenteous.  The time of threshing, the time of purging and of purification in this golden age is at the very door!  Love however, not fear, should be the welcome to draw men to the harvest festival with rejoicing.  The cultivation of joy in contemplation of divine possibilities which are the blessed hopes of heaven is a wise way of expanding the light activities of Our dear chelas who understand the hourly need to bring the practicality of a mystical Christianity into daily action before men that they may see the good works of the children of light and desire to be like them!

  I AM the smile of God bestowed on all the children of faith,   

                           Maitreya:  Pearls of Wisdom 3:39

………….............................……...............................…….................................

3)   With the coming of the new age old things shall indeed have passed away!  Men have thought destruction for so long that the main part of the whole prophecy mentioned above, upon which most have thought, has been in connection with destruction--and especially planetary destruction or the downfall of civilization.  Let me hasten to assure all mankind that while cataclysms do occasionally manifest by natural law, the passing away of the old order is purposefully to clear the way for the building of the new!  This always brings the birth in consciousness of the Christ tendencies--or divine propensities.

  You have perhaps heard it said even by your earthly mothers, “As the twig is bent so the tree is inclined to grow.”  You see, the inner intent of the heart in man is in part inherited.     

  -Lord Maitreya:  Pearls of Wisdom 4:10 

………….............................……...............................…….................................

4)  There is always a desire on the part of the students to advance and to make progress--and this is quite understandable to Us.  Yet We desire especially to point out that in the consciousness of the divine image you have already attained your victory!  It is therefore the easiest and best way for you to recognize that you already possess all of God, do not need to wait for it and have but to praise and bless into manifestation the full reality of your divine Being!

  Condemnation, which seems much in vogue among mankind, is the most dangerous practice imaginable.  If I may speak plainly, dear ones, more harlots and more lepers were created by those who pointed their fingers in accusation at other harlots and other lepers in past ages than can ever be imagined.    

                   -Lord Maitreya: Pearls of Wisdom 4:35

………….............................……...............................……...............................…..

5)  The so-called common status of mankind--that life which all are given in common among men--must be stepped up to fulfill the fiat of the Divine Ones who govern and direct the atmosphere of spiritual progress for the planet Earth!  I am well aware, as are the other members of the great Cosmic Councils, of the smothering lethargy which like a fog swirls about the children of men until they seem caught in an involved emotional whirlpool from which escape may seem impossible.   

  -Lord Maitreya:  Pearls of Wisdom 4:36

………….............................……...............................…….................................

6)   Disciples Seeking Initiation into the Mysteries of Reality:

  The grace of God commendeth each one to the feet of holy reason for self-discernment that the way of victory may be made plain.  Now with the seasonal flood of knowledge that is being released, it is essential for mankind to cultivate the ‘discriminating faculty’ in order that time may be well utilized in assimilating the most useful principles.  We know the striving of the pure in spirit to elevate in themselves each godly principle to a realization of such transcendent beauty that all effort in attainment is forgotten in the purity of victory.   

 -Lord Maitreya:  Pearls of Wisdom 8:29 

………….............................……...............................……...............................

7)  While the mysteries of Christ have been contemplated by many, only the few have penetrated the depth of the wonders of His certain knowledge, His inestimable outreach, His power of ineffable light calculated to part the veils of illusion and reveal the infinite capacity of God to externalize not only in the natural order but also in the spiritual order a kingdom without end.

  The more men meditate upon the Christ and upon spiritual things, which buoy up the heart above the restless tides of human thought, the more intense will become the light around them and the farther they will see into the internal mysteries of being.     

                             -Lord Maitreya:  Pearls of Wisdom 10:10

………….............................……...............................……...............................

8)  When great achievements are made they are seldom the  discoveries of the curious, the profane or the ego-motivated.  The dedicated scientist or researcher, the scientist of the Spirit who searches out the mysteries of God with humility and dedication, with understanding and necessary persistence, is the one to whom the reward is given.  As Jesus long ago proclaimed of John the Baptist, saying “What went ye out to see?  A reed shaken with the wind?  A man clothed in soft raiment?   A prophet?  Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.”  These same laws apply today to the researcher in the things of the Spirit. …

  Let us lift men into the light before the moment of darkness is too tightly secured and the age is lost.       In cosmic vigilance I remain,   

  Lord Maitreya:  Pearls of Wisdom 10:34

……….............................……...............................……...............................…

9)  Thoughtless acceptance of the best gifts of life does not enable the student of divine mystery to take proper spiritual advantage of his God-given opportunities.  Consciousness is an ever-flowing stream of energy which should be examined for its content and volume with a view to improving one’s use of this greatest blessing to the aspirant.    

  -Lord Maitreya:  Pearls of Wisdom 11:8  

…………….............................……...............................…….................................

10)  This fear is the anxiety and the uncertainty that emerge from deep within the recesses of human consciousness the moment that it separates itself from God.  Out of this fear comes forth every dark form, every mania, every evil influence to which the race is heir….To consider God as center and origin of life is not blasphemy, for blasphemy concerns itself with mankind’s despair and the degradation of the creation of God within himself.  This state of mind would deny the immortal creation by stating that man is so far less than God as not to be created in the immortal image at all….

   It must be understood that (pristine) decrees given without feeling and without thought will not produce the full perfection which they are intended to bring about, for man must have in his consciousness the correct patterns for the energies he invokes from the Godhead….

  The giving of each call with fervor and love automatically invokes the energy of he heavenly hosts on behalf of the decreer and all mankind.  In addition decrees are a definite statement of truth that the mind of the individual may follow to a logical conclusion--and in this case it is the conclusion of the Logos, of the Word that is made flesh by the power of the spoken Word, that is, by the power of decrees.  By cosmic Law the worded ideas must eventuate in actuality when thy are released in the name of God and by the authority of the Christ-flame.

  In giving decrees the use of the name of God which was given to Moses as I AM THAT I AM unlocks the power of the Most High for the benefit of the decreer and all who are within his sphere of influence.  Thus the decree is imbued with the power of the Word, the spoken Word “without which was not anything made that was made.”

  The decree when given with reverence becomes a divine fiat rather than mere human wish-craft or the warring of minds pitted against one another through human wit-craft--mind willing and mental hypnosis--practices which border on black magic, dangerous indeed, and which are without the authority of the divine aegis….

  The faculties of mind and heart--especially their ability to magnetize the healing energies of the sacred fire--are developed and expanded through harmonious use of decrees.  The need for this mutuality is expressed in the commandment “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy mind, and thy neighbor as thyself.”  Decrees are a dynamic expression of one’s love for the Lord as that love is released through every aspect and potential of being….

  The tenets of most faiths support the statement “I AM my brother’s keeper"--and this is as it should be, seeing that in reality all life is one….When sufficient expansion of consciousness has occurred, when feelings mount up and thoughts are rarefied and the decree has become a melody within the heart and soul, greater speed can be employed for the raising of the vibrations of one’s aura and surroundings.  The stepping-up of vibrations should always be governed by the inner voice of the heart and never by the human will or by a spirit of competition.        -
