Kings and princes may dwell in marble halls and sleep well-guarded throughout this mortal life, but the true disciple lives not so much to be protected as to guard the eternal truths of the heavenly Father from any and all desecrations.
Let the words “Watch and pray!” be remembered today--for peril in the form of karma, individual and worldwide, still stalks the Earth and will remain until the last victory is won. By daily service to the light much transmutation occurs and the business of serving God moves forward. To advance the cause of freedom for love of God and man is the definite aim of many sincere people, but few there be who can attain true discipleship.
Our purpose in this series of Corona Class instruction on discipleship is to address those who would learn to teach others the way and find thereby greater illumination and avenues of service for their own mission. We now desire to bring the brilliance of God-illumination into play upon the sacred pages of the lives of the devotees so that the bread that comes down from heaven may be on earth the living Word.
First and foremost the would-be disciple must learn to forget the importance of his own personality and to remember that God’s thought about him is greatly to be esteemed. How wasteful is the daily dissipation of energies expended in defense of the personal self with all its whimsical characterizations. Beloved Saint Germain in his embodiment as Francis Bacon wrote, “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts.”
Let my words to Martha concerning Mary be recalled: “And Mary hath chosen that good part”--and let my disciples of today also learn to choose the better part on the stage of life that they may play it well. Dedicate yourself to outpicturing nobler ideals in more Godly characterizations, thus following the path that leads to the Life victorious--your ascension in the light attained through the overcoming of every discordant manifestation on the Emmaus walk of dedicated discipleship.
It is understandable that to the man or woman accustomed to ordinary ways of living the road of discipleship leading to personal Christhood should at first seem strange or difficult. Those whose hearts have burned within them to know the nearness of God will find the road less difficult and certainly less cumbersome than the broad way of materialism. If they stick with it, I guarantee all will find the reward at journey’s end to be beyond compare.
My statement “Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God” must be applied to the understanding of God’s Laws in living as a son of God. Living by material standards, no matter how high, cannot possibly connect our disciples with the pure vibration of spiritual compassion which so reveres the Word of God that every moment is perceived as an opportunity to stand forth as a living example, a living revelator of God interpreting God unto man not through the vanity of earthly ideas or even the grandeur of cultured prose but through living successfully as a divine embodiment here and now.
The concept of man as a son of God and a divine manifestation is a part of the high calling extended to every soul who cometh into the world--but few there be that have found it. And so each disciple must esteem himself to be worthy of God in order that he might anchor himself in the great Law which will then walk the earth through him in the pure Person of his own beloved Christ Self. Through realizing that man made in God’s image is not a sinful creature but a divine being he is able to discern the Lord’s body.

The willingness of man to cooperate with his own Mighty I AM Presence places him in a category of extreme usefulness to the Hierarchy, enabling those spiritual beings charged with the responsibility for governing the flow of spiritual energy to this planet to release a more abundant supply to them. However although cooperation and attitude be excellent, wherever elements of prejudice and limitation exist in consciousness they act to impede the flow of cosmic energy.
Blessed ones, a simple law is found to be acting here which draws its analogy in nature: if a watercourse be clogged with jagged rock, branches or debris, this accumulation serves to dam up, slow down and control the rate of the stream’s flow. Release the consciousness from all forms of prejudice, subtle or bold, and watch the increase of spiritual energy flowing into your life.
Mankind are often prone to seek understanding of the so-called mysteries of life. Dear hearts, the key to every mystery is to be found in the heart of your own God Presence. To contact the Presence of God you must place your attention upon that blessed Presence and through attunement find the answer that you seek. You must not give up if you do not immediately sense a release of divine Grace into your world. Be willing to accept a simple answer to life’s problems and do not insist upon humanly complicating your life by introducing unnecessary complexity into your world.

I AM come this day to remind you of the onrushing tide of eternal spring, incoming with natural grace and the perfumed lyrics of immortal breath--visible form of invisible love in action. Fairies, elfs, sylphs, undines, salamanders leap in the flame of springtime’s buoyant glory. How splendid is this paradise! The tiny elementals were designed by the Architect of infinite wonder to tenderly enfold all natural form with the magic broadcasts of their radiating love energy and to serve through the four seasons to make Earth redundant with beauty, comfort, adornment and providential supply of all substance. How grateful AM I for their constancy!
THOU SHALT NOT contaminate the elements by outpoured discord! Rather, DO CALL for their release unto the precious Spirit of Comfort from the heart of the Maha Chohan, the mighty representative of the Holy Spirit to the Earth! Appreciation stems from the heart whose cup flows over the brim to bring a veritable extension of the expanding power of Life to all who are recipients of that outpouring. Become then self-widening channels for the expanding love of the nature kingdom by pouring highly qualified devotion to the elementals and receive in return the wonderful blessing of their highly serviceable friendship. -Rose of Light: Pearls of Wisdom 6:13

Nature herself is a beautiful selector of grace on mankind’s behalf, contriving to adorn his being with the highest and noblest forms of Christ-mastery….
Just as man is intended to be his brother’s keeper so he is also intended to be the keeper of the domain of his destiny proclaimed in the fiat “Take dominion over the earth!” His acceptance of this twofold responsibility constantly creates newness of life and recreates the Spirit of justice in all the earth. Now the Spirit of justice is a part of the Spirit of divine love, for all things of God agree in one. It is never permissible for anyone at any station in life or point of advancement in spiritual service to indulge in any action which would create further bondage to forms of hatred or result in a lack of the true expression of divine love.
What a pity it is that humanity can allow themselves in the name of righteousness, in the name of truth to crucify one another over their disagreements on moot points of the Law or to allow their misunderstandings mixed with their understanding thereof to thwart their united effort. When we speak of humanity’s need to espouse the virtue of God-control it is because we know that this quality of Christ-mastery will bind the mankind of Earth into one common body of light-servers; thus we emphasize the quality of Christ-reality, of regeneration in the unity of purpose of the Fatherhood and Motherhood of God.
I represent the Motherhood of God as every woman can, and I seek to affirm and reaffirm those precepts of divine safety within the conscious awareness of each evolving monad so that in the hour of trial only light shall prevail. Past ages of failure or success are no guarantee of what shall prevail today, for each day is sufficient unto itself. If man then desires to do the will of God and to hold fast to that which is good he must do so oblivious of all momentums of human destruction which have ever manifested in his world, for these have no power to perpetuate themselves except the power man gives to them….
The elements of God-reality have always been there as the great pondering of the mind of God to produce the fruit of His holy will in the consciousness of man. How fragile are moments in time as opportunities for the perfectionment of eternity! Their use however depends upon the sensitivity of men’s souls and to what measure they can hold firmly to the great realities of God….
The house of divine sonship holds open still the door.
The darkness of mortal mind cannot, shall not be anymore.
For just beyond the mortal sunset lies light’s immortal dawn
Trembling on the face of morning, shining promise from now on….
Like a gossamer veil atremble with the thunder of the Sun—
Beauteous doorway of Forever swings wide open for each one!
Devotedly I AM
