It is the yielding of the heart to the beat of joy in every situation that purifies the understanding of man that it might one day become a repository of strength to those who are willing to surrender unto God all human desires and their need for self-importance. This does not mean, O hearts of light, the extinguishing of man’s life or light; rather it brings about an intensification of its shine, for the intensifying power of the Christ does descend from the Godhead into the chalice of individual lives.
It should always be a joy to contribute thoughts of dignity and worth into the flowing stream of energy which constitutes life. How often men sit on the bank of the river of life and watch it flow, taking from it all that they possibly can yet contributing nothing to its course or movement. Surely justice and mercy must follow man, both contemporary man and man to come. Surely all shall come to understand one day that it is only that which is yielded unto God through love that endures …one day mankind will come to know and to understand how beautiful and complete the light is because he will have added to that light the best gifts of his own Self-realization, intensifying them in the filaments of his being so that he too may let his light shine.
It is the energy of God that glorifies the soul of each one, and when the electrifying concepts of His Grace are made known to the world the right use of both His masculinity and His femininity will be adhered to and the androgynous Being of God seen at last in fuller measure in the stature of the Christ.

Mankind often say that it is a tragedy that greater understanding does not prevent wars, rumors of wars and the darkening attitudes of the race of men. But after all, beloved ones, it is to high places in human thought rather than to high places in divine thought that mankind aspire. Is it any wonder then that they yield themselves so easily to self-glorification and self-righteousness? Is it any wonder then that they are prone to error almost from the beginning of their mistaken monadic expressions, which are in reality no part of the Divine Monad but are of the synthesized personality they have come to regard as the real Self? When the real Self of man is perceived as the Universal Spirit, all-flowing and all-enfolding, the power of love comes to be realized to such a marked degree as to produce the profoundest of changes in the nature of man. And if these changes be produced in the individual must they not then permeate all substance and structuring?…
Certainly we do not say that mankind should respect evil or those things which are hurtful to men. But there is enough virtue in the soul of man which God so lovingly placed there that those who look can surely perceive that virtue in man and, seeing it, amplify it so that all may partake of the sacred eucharist, the tiny wafer of life by which they are made aware of their unity in Christ.
The world today lives in a time of the great depreciation of values, in a time of the deterioration of a sense of their own worth and hence of the worth of others. Because of this and because mankind do not understand true religion nor the fact that the world has produced saints in the past as well as in the present they seem to look askance at all who hold fast to good. There is a trend today to expose all action of a truly divine nature as if it were fraudulent, as if it were deceptive….Let mankind perceive how seldom men really do believe in motives of worth in others. It is dangerous for mankind to point an accusing finger at others when many times they are not aware of their own imperfect patterns from past ages. They do not foresee what they will one day do as a result of the very trends they are now creating….
The soul gasps in individualized mankind that it might receive a breath of this reality--that it might perceive the infinite hand of God reaching through all experience and beckoning all to move onward into the Universal Light without fear and with the fullest of confidence.

How precious is the opportunity for men to express the fullness of the God-beauty that is the infinite design held for them by the immaculate heart of their Presence--the fullness of all that is the beauty of God retained forever and released at the invocation of the sacred fire from within the center of each one’s being. As I speak to you today I am flooding forth torrents of divine love to wash away all that is human accumulation, all that is discord, all that is a threat to the manifestation of the purity of that God-design.
Beloved ones, the light of God that never fails holds inviolate for each one this immaculate image. Individuals throughout the day and throughout the night are ever so frequently gazing upon patterns of human discord and hearing about matters which are a far cry from the peace of heaven and the wonders of paradise. But as the eyes of the prophet of old were opened by the Spirit of Life so I come to you today to open your eyes that you may behold in this universe the infinite wonders and perfections of God-harmony….
I would like to bring to the attention of the students that there is always complete calmness within the center of the heart of God, and this is a haven of refuge which is not so far distant from any individual that he cannot go there. I would like to bring to your attention the fact that beloved Jesus when he knelt in the Garden of Gethsemane did travel in his exalted consciousness to the very heart of God to commune with that Father, that Master Presence of His being. By the perfect example then of this great exemplar each of you are able to do likewise. Every son of God is able to enter that peace and quiescence which constitutes the heart of God, the heart of Creation. There is never any need to let disturbances rage--especially within the center of your being. There within the center of your being there should be a citadel and there should be an established fortress which is guarded by the very Presence of Life.
It is ever a mistake to permit the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune to penetrate into the inner being of you. You must stand guard there and see that no discord touches your world. The best way that you can do this is to follow the admonishments of beloved Saint Germain and maintain a firm decree for the wondrous tube of light to be established invulnerably against the inroads of human imperfection….
Through wandering away from the center of your being--for the kingdom of God is within you--you have come to think upon yourself as separate and apart from God. And in this thought of separation the light that is within you has been cut off, as it were, by the accumulation of that admitted human discord which as tarry substance clogs the very pores of your being and prohibits the expansion of the sacred fire--just as when a damper or a draft is cut off from a grate the fire slows down its action and does not brightly blaze. So when an individual has clogged the pores of his being, of his mental body, of his physical body and of all his four lower bodies with discordant substance there is then a slowing-down of the spiritual processes whereby that individual enters into a state of density and a proneness to both error and illness…
When individuals who would follow this light desire to escape from the powers of the outer, they will enter into the heart of the sacred fire within and demand an expansion of that sacred fire; and they will remove by cosmic decree and by calls to their own mighty I AM Presence all discordant substance from their own world. By the removal of this impediment the pure and precious Spirit called the Holy Spirit will rush in to fan the flame to feed the sacred fire within man and to regenerate not only the physical form but also the mental body of man and the etheric body, to revive there the memory of those powers which have been stored there from the time before the world was, before the decadent civilizations and the errors of past infamy were ever known. Therefore as men pass back to that beginning which is the source of their God-power they will be able to have restored to them those powers and dominions which were known on Atlantis and Lemuria at the time when the sacred fire teachings went forth without human impediments and without human ideas intruding into the teachings.
The purity of any religion and the purity of any teaching must be expressed by the members of that teaching in their daily life and it must be used. Applied knowledge is the only knowledge that counts, dear ones. …
Beloved ones of the light, I remind you that God is the Lord of the harvest. I remind you that each grain of wheat springs forth because of divine energy. And as the Christ reminded them that the very hairs of their head were numbered so I say to you today, bear in mind that each one of you is a living, immortal manifestation of God. In order to realize this you must drink into it and begin from day to day to increasingly think of yourselves as a manifestation of God….
But all illness and all mental problems must yield to the one supreme mind of God. And when that one supreme mind of God is called into action it is a manifestation of the sacred fire; for God’s mind is a part of the sacred fire breath from His very own heart….
And so individuals must understand how important it is to transmute within their own worlds all inharmony and not to look at others with a critical mind. As they do this and transmute within the forcefield of their own being each appearance of discord they will be enhancing their opportunities for harmony with all life and they will suddenly find that all discord comes from the same source---from human creation--that it is not divinely created at all and that it never could be. …
That which is wrong with civilizations is a lack of attunement with their great God-Source. We are completely out of the sphere of human identification; and if you have any questions as to why this is so, realize that it is because we made our application. Realize that it is because we devoted our time to those purposes God intended us to, and therefore we have won our eternal freedom.
Now, precious ones of the light, I do not intend as an ascended being to criticize any of you because of a thought that may flicker across your mind or even one you may retain for some time. But I am here to assist you in a way that is very benign from the standpoint of cutting you loose from those conditions which have far too long given you difficulty. Do you see then that it is necessary for me to comment on some of those conditions which have bound the students so that they do not enjoy the fullness of their freedom? I only do so that you may become more alert and by your alertness realize that the human consciousness must not take dominion in your worlds.
In the name of Almighty God I stand here before you today as the Manu of a race in order that I might comfort the hearts of all who live upon this precious planet. We, beloved ones of the light, have saturated ourselves with so much of the essence of the Father that every pore is charged at the core with the very heartfire of God from out the Great Central Sun; and therefore if we were to manifest in our fiery bodies before many of the chelas, they would be, as Saint Paul was, blinded and unable to see for some period of time….
Well, let me tell you--those of you who have called for a manifestation of the ascended masters in your own world--we are not unwilling to appear; we are simply awaiting a manifestation within you of those divine qualities which will make our appearance of the greatest benefit to you. And when that occurs I am certain that each one of you will take the fullest advantage of that appearance and will extract therefrom some benefit of permanent value to your lifestream.
Were we to appear merely to satisfy a craving of some individual who might have some curiosity about just how spiritual acts are performed it would serve no worthy purpose but would be consuming a tremendous quantity of energy. Nevertheless we have as you have been told before made individual appearances to some of the students at various times–sometimes so that they were able to behold us physically, at other times in visions or dreams.
But the most important thing for the students to always remember is that their Presence is sane and balanced and will mold and shape them in His own image, the perfection of God. Therefore individuals ought not to consider strange practices or to consider those things which are far off the beaten trail of divine reason. They ought to consider applying their hearts to those things that are reasonable that they may on a safe platform walk into the Spirit of Light.
There are many vain and unruly teachers who have gone out into the world, as the apostles have told you, who teach many things for the sake of their own living. But you, dear ones, must understand that truth is ever virtuous, that truth will exalt you, that truth will purify you, and that truth is based upon the great Laws of Life--the universal Laws. The Law of your own Mighty I AM Presence was not created by any man. The Law of your own Mighty I AM Presence was not even created by beloved Saint Germain. The Law of your own Mighty I AM Presence is the Law of Eternal Being; and when you pay allegiance to it you are paying allegiance to God….
But through meditation you will be able to understand that you must put off the human creation and therefore you must if necessary walk the way of the cross in that particular respect, that you must be buried with the Christ during a period of gestation during which certain initiations will come to you to purify your world, and that in the stillness in the heart of the earth the Spirit of resurrection will be stirring until the fullness of that time comes which was signified as three days in the drama of the Christ. Then the angel of your being will roll away the stone of impediments from before the tomb and the dazzling Christ image of yourself will stand forth revealed, resurrected and prepared for its ascension in the light….
I urge you by all the love of the ascended masters, by all the love of the Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood to cherish this opportunity to hear our words, to walk in this light and to expand the light-flame within you until in harmony with the universal oneness of God it becomes at peace with the universal harmony present within all. But all must expand it for themselves, all must know for themselves. Over the temples of old the words “Man, know thyself!” were engraved. Well, precious ones, each one today must enter that door for himself. No one can do it for him. Each one must therefore cherish the truth, each one must love the truth; and thereby they shall find their eternal freedom. -Vaivasvata Manu: 11-11-1962 at Washington, D.C. via Messenger Mark Prophet
