The fragrance of God manifests in the beautiful life. Such a manifestation overcomes self and raises and frees others until all life is outwardly as Godlike as the inner light intends!
Beloved ones, although the weak do not become stronger by yielding to weakness nor the strong stronger by occasionally indulging in its foibles, the sincere should certainly know that the light of purpose must guide the mind and heart, making the reins subject to the direction of light which, when enthroned, reigns and thereby regains its rightful authority to exalt the will of God by revealing to the mind and heart the true meaning of God-freedom, which is the exercising of authority by the Christ-mind of each lifestream so as to take dominion over the finite self as a God-discretion, which is ever the better part of valor!

Dear ones, it is so easy to complicate, so easy to lose one’s own thought in a maze of human nonsense. I must eulogize the simple way of acknowledging your unity with your own I AM Presence, proving the eternal fact that “I and my Father are One.” By giving your attention to your great God Self and maintaining harmony any and all doors into octaves of light will be opened unto you!
Hundreds of religions serve to confuse the seeker as to what is right and what is truth. The exponents of diverse political systems add to the general melee. Confusion so often causes inertia and indecision which in turn give rise to apathy, indifference and a careless attitude based on a loss of hope concerning divine matters, frequently leading to a negative cynicism and enmeshment in the pitfalls of materialism.
Religion, intended to tie men to the wings of their own divinity, has been turned into a mere commercial venture. Those in bondage to materialism do not know the meaning of freedom and therefore cannot express it themselves or show others how to do so. As a result of this density the kingdom of heaven suffers the violence of false prophets and hypocrites within those very institutions which profess to lead men to their salvation.
Of all the hindrances facing spiritual movements the greatest has been personality. Egocentricity has paved the way for riptides to which the souls of men have been subjected. Negative influences which have opened the door to discord have fundamentally been jealousy, covetousness, feelings of inferiority, of being left out, of lack and a diminishing faith based on uncertainties which creep into men’s minds because of their very wish to be certain! These influences are often very subtle. Other negative energies which have increased the perils in life are anger, hatred masquerading in the cloak of self-righteousness, malice, gossip, thoughtless and ungoverned speech stemming from restlessness, wrong habits of thought and feeling excesses, and laxity in exercising spiritual protection, prayer and attunement. Such incorrect teachings have delayed victory for mankind and hindered the manifestation of the divine plan upon Earth for ages….
As the entire Earth is now entering an era of consummate regeneration it is of paramount importance that freedom from binding habits be achieved and that the general good be served even above so-called enlightened self-interest! Consider how many of us who are your ascended master friends take our time, interest and energy to assist you in many small ways and especially in times of distress. Would it not be a matter of divine valor then for men and women who love to speculate on the meaning of being a chela of the ascended masters to expand their faith enough to follow our example without thought of personal reward? …Watch this year then with wakefulness--I AM blessing you with divinely measured courtesy whose unlimited nature expands God within you.
Most lovingly and sincerely I AM

If you regularly systemize your activity, order and progress can manifest with greater ease and you will find it natural to maintain harmonious contact with the center of your own being. You must be divinely oblivious to the world’s deceit, standing upon the integrity and innocence of your own being. The inner Self of each one is the strongest power imaginable to hold world harmony, for when you express harmony in all your affairs it emanates from your heart and Holy Christ flame within like the beams of a great cosmic beacon.
It is vital that our chelas understand the impact of nationalism upon humanity. Origins and nationality have long dominated the thinking of men and have penetrated deeply into the arts, culture and political practices of the times. Science and religion usually supersede national boundaries and are expressed through international unity and service. However if the energies attributed by men to race, creed and political systems were lovingly given to the light this light would long ago have changed the Earth into a Christ-illumined, God-victorious planet!
False loyalty is the cause of international problems. Cliques and islands of jingoistic interests divide and segregate. Cosmic Law teaches that all division of energy causes a reduction in its potential as it is divided and further subdivided. Conversely unification under God always increases the power to “move mountains” and accomplish great good. To exalt true culture freedom of expression must be enshrined.
As love takes dominion and rules supreme in every heart and mind the ascended masters’ concepts will immeasurably strengthen one’s power of accomplishment, for in unity the power to succeed is indeed magnified….We patiently render our service to the children of Earth even while their concepts are relatively incomplete, knowing that the spark shall one day be the immaculate sun of righteousness. Thus placing in perspective the part to the whole we await until the twain are made one.
The Sun does shine on just and unjust alike, and so we too must shed our radiance on partial, incomplete and imperfect ideas of men until they evolve to a wiser state. To withdraw from them or put aside individuals because of their imperfect ideas would thwart the entire spiritual evolution of mankind….Faith in our vision is always justified, for it is not dependent on any human act or thought. We constantly are the expression of infinite compassion tangibly acting wherever there exists an open door to our presence!
Now in this brighter day of the present we stand willing to aid men in the battle to banish ignorance, poverty, ill health, war and all pestilence from the Earth. This utopian ideal needs wisdom, energy, love and nourishment from many. Great wisdom must dignify our approach to each problem and its solution and thus place all methods we use above human reproach. You must do likewise to the best of your ability, and you can increasingly call forth this ability in greater measure!
The knowledge of Ascended Master Laws and the hidden mysteries of the universe ought to be safely revealed in a most proper manner to every seeker on earth, free from commercial-ization or the tactics of those who would exploit men. Our chelas need the power, perception, means and will to carry forth the genuine program of universal deliverance envisioned by the Great White Brotherhood….
Blessed ones of the light, from the beginning unto the present the cup of divine love has been offered to mankind by God through the very gift of life itself which beats their hearts. This cup of love offered by the Father Himself has both the intent and power to confer every good gift and fulfill every requirement man could ever need or desire. In a real sense the windows of heaven need never be shut to any who are willing to use the simple method of envisioning, sustaining and calling forth Grace from the goblet of Life.
This lost art of invoking divine abundance to fulfill the right desires of the heart was taken from individuals to whom the secrets of Life were originally imparted. Subsequently as the numbers possessing this secret diminished it was natural that this knowledge of the divine arts known by beloved Jesus and other ascended masters should be hidden from the race with the exception of the very few.…The greater the number who accept divine ideas, the greater amplification of these pure spiritual principles occurs; the more amplification, the stronger the universal bond of understanding between nation and nation or man and man.
To replace narrowness by expansion one must increase his understanding of universality. Rightly understood, the concept of unity in diversity is harmonious and beneficial. Rivalry and competition must give place to a Spirit of excellence which seeks to draw forth from the Father above every facet possible of the wonderful divine plan. The Aquarian age is one of absolute cooperation between God and the ascended masters, the ascended masters and man, and between people everywhere.
The symbol of Aquarius, a water-carrier with balanced urns, reveals harmonious service and bountiful supply! This rhythmic Spirit of cooperation must be the basis of every relationship, replacing outworn selfishness….
Let everyone who loves this light understand that by maintaining their calls without fail heaven can bring to earth increasing perfection and the blessings of eternal love without limit. Like the rhythm of one heartbeat from the Universal Heart the tireless pulsations of the eternal love-plan speed forth now to do their marvelous work and open the doors and windows of heaven so that all who are hungry may be filled and all who are thirsty may drink.
No man is ever truly defrauded except by himself, albeit many are easily influenced by others and have not yet learned self-dependence which is only correct as it ties into or connects with its God-source….
I AM always faithful,
(by N. T. Miller)

Do you see, blessed ones, that true discipleship can never be false? It must go deeper than the surface mind and retain solid quality to the very core of one’s being. You can never fool your true Self, and the genuine disciple will not try. Of this you may be certain--that disciples are still being born and made and are sorely needed in this hour to carry my word and radiation and the power of the sacred fire to God’s children….Truly all lesser callings must pale into insignificance before the truth of the call of thy Christ.
To those of you who would be my disciples today we say, let this word from our hearts initiate a resurgence of your spiritual aspirations….
Initially you must establish a hallowed sense of the reality and tangibility of the blessing you can obtain and bestow on others as a true disciple of God’s great Brotherhood of Light. Let your hearts be humble yet unafraid, desiring to perceive your errors only enough to correct them and your virtues only enough to express gratitude for them. Then I am certain you will find the grossness of the human condition giving way to the refinement of eternal values within you--and as your views change to those of heaven the reality of the kingdom shall enfold you as a mantle of power.
A disciple is one who is disciplined and whose course is parallel to my own. Each such a one I lovingly call brother--sister. Welcome into the family of those who consciously present themselves to the eternal will and purpose, saying with Isaiah “Here I AM, send me!”
May the light of heaven bestow its shining reality upon all the earth through you, thereby blessing every heart each day. I AM lovingly offering the mantle of my own Christ-perfection to lives as much beloved by God as my own. I AM your brother of the resurrection-flame and your World Teacher,
