But I want you to know something that we seldom reveal

   Do not expect that each year is a year of absolute perfection being delivered unto man.  It would not matter if mankind were to receive absolute perfection at the beginning of the year.  Before the year had ended human consciousness in its present state would have maligned that image.  We are aware of this and that is why we produce so much perfection in this image, that is why we produce so much intensity in this image, that is why we produce such a desire for response in this image.  It is because we know that if the stamp and pressure of this image is very great, if your hearts are deeply impressed with our love, with the thoughts of heaven for you and for all mankind, then there will go forth, there will fly forth into eternity a matrix that will never stop its onward movement.

  And I want you to understand something, beloved hearts.  At the end of each year there are the unfulfilled desires of God for that year, the cycles that mankind have let fall and slide through carelessness.  But I want you to know something that we seldom reveal, that the impetus of God's thought for that year goes on like a riderless horse, its energies proceed eternally toward the mark, toward the goal.  And now I am asking that all of the unfulfilled dreams and desires of previous years shall be gathered together and shall help to pull the advent thought for this year forward to fulfillment, and at last greater good shall come in 1973 than mankind realize.

  I cannot tell you that there are not forebodings also for the decade and for the year, but these need not destroy you or crush you if you will understand the meaning of summoning God's will in your own heart's chalice and then fulfilling that will with all of your might and main.  When this occurs we shall know that as you look to us so we may look to you as a strong force into which we can deposit our energies.  We can safely then find a place where we can nestle our great hopes for the world.  And I tell you truly when they nestle in a heart

in physical embodiment then the Law has declared that their strength is multiplied many many times.  Why this is so is a matter of divine Law,for mankind here have the right to ask for embodied mankind those gifts and graces that they know are near and dear to the heart of God.

    I would alert the students to the fact that the forces of darkness take every advantage to ride in on the qualities of negation which individuals allow to express in their lives.

  I cannot say enough then to warn the students of the light not to feel smug or as though they were immune to undesirable conditions or states of consciousness.  After all, beloved ones, in all divine justice mankind should be aware that they have created all sorts of discordant patterns that have wreaked much havoc upon humanity and in turn they have been subjected to those of like ilk that have been created by others.

 It is not really the will of God that conditions of division, hardness of heart and imbalance in the expression of the Christ-potential should continue to exist, and yet stop for a moment and consider how embodied humanity would feel if every negative factor which they have created and fed by their attention were immediately to be consigned to cosmic flames.  It would be as though  someone were to develop and then burn their choice photographs.  Then some would say “This is all I have; it represents myself.”  Beloved hearts of light, this is a matter of self-deception--far better that individuals were to call for the total destruction of undesirable patterns and be free to build as a little child in the kingdom of heaven than to perpetuate undesirable qualities simply because “it is all they have.”…

  It is never necessary or expedient that the records of the human personality should be preserved to the hurt of the beautiful patterns of the soul….There is nothing in the great Law that justifies  the enhancement of the mortal to the detriment of eternal values.
