Those who dare to submit to the will of God

Those who dare to submit to the will of God will come to the place where their souls can at last welcome, face to face, the overcoming Spirit that makes possible the transfer of the consciousness of the Great Alchemist to the consciousness of the lesser alchemist....Through this spirit (of inner communion)--a focus of my own flame--the Most High God and the Hierarchy of Light shall focus by the power of universal love a climate within the consciousness of the student that shall enable him to obtain his rightful place in the divine scheme....
But practice as he will, his use of the flame will not be enough to transform his world unless the correct scientific attitude is maintained.  The alchemist who insists on exalting his own human will and ego in contradistinction to the Divine Will and Ego cannot possibly receive the great gifts which the Spirit seeks to convey....Cosmos is ever willing to convey the highest and best gifts to man but in order to receive them man must change his attitude....
The key then to the practice of advanced spiritual alchemy lies in the alchemist's understanding of the purposes of the Brotherhood and in his consciously yoking himself together with those who are pledged by word and deed to the fulfillment of those purposes....For unless there is an immersion of the self in the sea of universal wisdom and purpose the soul cannot be saturated, the sponge cannot be wetted and the energy so needed for transmutation cannot be evoked....time in marching on reveals eternal patterns.  Therefore to decline the search or to reject the means of cosmic study which makes possible the search is an error of the first magnitude.  

-Saint Germain:  Pearls of Wisdom 13:7

.......................................................................................................................................................

(Man) has neglected the first principles of cosmic love:  he has poured love over himself while ignoring the flow of love as it applies to others.  The result is an inward dearth of the soul which he will not admit....Let man not hesitate to fall upon the rock and be broken, lest the rock fall upon him and grind him to powder (Matt. 21:44)....

One day out of the nobility of self-effort more and more devotees will come to us--a caravan of souls Christ-illumined, Christ-loving and understanding Him.            -Kuthumi:    Pearls of Wisdom 13:45
