There is no substitute for the treasures of heaven, and those who are enamored by the outer achievements of men will do well to pause and remember that the gracious sustaining strands of the Spirit--the divine connection from the heart of God to the beating hearts of men--ought not to be scorned….
The spinning wheel of Life has turned out the dubbed threads, and the garment cannot be of greater refinement than the thread.…How shall we scale Olympian heights with the spirit of injustice? The herdsman extended a rough arm, clad with homespun cloth, and it was rejected by the climber who fell upon the rocks of pride. Pearls of Wisdom 8:28

One of the great problems in the world today is that feeling of complacent satisfaction which often comes even to our students of long years’ standing whereby an individual imputes to himself a quality of comprehension and a state of spiritual progress which in reality he does not possess. This unfortunate attitude of mind could rightly be called a “closed door” consciousness.
As I expose to you these words I am aware of the razor’s edge upon which we walk here in thought. Certainly it is right, and we have advocated it, that men should enter into their own should enter into their own closet of being and shut the door against intruding conditions. But this does not mean to imply that men should bask in the sun of their own intellects or indulge in the human tendency to self-praise. The grace of God is given to the humble; therefore the razor’s edge must be applied to false humility which robs men of the confidence they need to rightly play the game of life.
Godly balance is most effective in bringing into perspective the personal self. Human tendencies to bring into focus the misfortunes of others while sweeping under the rug personal inadequacies do not provide the clarity of vision which will give the advancing chela the attunement with us which he seeks….if a man’s intent were 90% benign and his actions were 10% benign, the 90% weight of wrong action certainly could not be balanced by the 90% good intentions which were not carried out.
The philosophy of action then in regard to the kingdom of God must be expounded upon today….If men consider that the Deity is unfair or unjust or that cosmic Law can be manipulated, how can they expect to do aught but attempt such conduct themselves….Self-deceit is so prevalent upon earth, precious ones, that we must make further attempt to dispel it. It is much easier to justify one’s being simply by pulling the wool over one’s eyes, so to speak, whereas to take corrective measures within the framework of identity requires not only energy and foresight but also dedication and holy prayer. …
Reorientation then is needed in the thinking of all true chelas of God. They must seek the approbation of God and pursue it; they must recognize the honesty of God and of the cosmic hosts. In the name of heaven, blessed ones, you must understand and accept that we do see clearly that which is acting in your worlds….
You represent freedom on earth; when you understand that your own personal freedom is given renewed impetus. Be grateful for the Law of Love, be grateful for the Christ intelligence that guides your footsteps below and remember that we are often listeners to your conversation and observers to the passing thoughts of your hearts.

You may invoke the presence of Mother Mary or Joseph the Protector and all of the angelic hosts, for they will help you to attain your goal, they will help you to express to all men that love which is from above. You cannot afford to be conditioned by the world, and the world cannot afford not to be conditioned by the love that God can give through you.
(Gateway Arch at Saint Louis)

What a great help it would be to the Hierarchy of Light, to the spiritual overseers of the planet who function under the divine grace of God if embodied men and women would leave for a moment their worldly cups and the fulfilling of mortal desires to feast at the table of God and to partake of the unguents of the Spirit as they are applied by the angelic hosts in all of their healing love and ministering service to the children of men! What a boon it would be to those who serve with me and the angelic hierarchies if more of mankind--in the full faith of our existence as ministers of the Eternal--would open the doors of their hearts to the reality of our existence!
