If you are separated from those to whom you look for superior guidance in spiritual matters

      If you are separated from those to whom you look for superior guidance in spiritual matters and cannot readily consult with them, pray the Almighty that He will allow only the consciousness of His appointed representatives to contact your own.  Above all find peace in the understanding that all that unites with the fruits of cosmic endeavor is of God and all that divides the body of God into compartments of mortal density is of the dark powers.

  Certainly to maintain an eagle eye of discrimination is not wrong.  If a being is of the light he will show that light when challenged; if he is of the dark he may well flee.  Individuals should not be hasty to retreat into the shadows of a limited understanding because the “spirits” indicate that this is desirable, nor should they be hasty to retreat into another’s “light,” for the “light” of supposed knowledge in man may indeed be darkness if it does not concern itself with the well-being of others.           

   

-Pallas Athena:  Pearls of Wisdom 13:46

     Greetings in the name of the Universal Spirit, the harmony of perfection, the chord that unifies and regenerates, that speaks of faith in every moment of doubt….

  Whether or not faith can accomplish its purpose depends upon its quality.  What we may call a positive faith is the momentum of infinite endeavor anchored within the finite forcefield , and it continually seeks the exemplification of right acts.  Yet this type of faith may not always resemble that which is the specific antipode for doubt--that faith which defeats doubt on the instant because it represents the accumulation of the vital forces of light and regeneration designed by God to counteract the negation which is already in the world….

  Now faith that is born of understanding is the strongest of all types of faith, for once it is satisfied that a condition is indeed correct it can without reserve place itself in the service of the light.  Therefore even the doubting of Thomas was understood by the Master who said “because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed.”  But he also said “blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed.”  Thus Jesus blessed both types of faith, recognizing one as an activity of mind and the other as coming from the heart….

  Individuals in their outer sophistication often feel that they have discovered all there is to know about themselves.  How wrong they are!…Will you then overtake with me the great ascended master consciousness by believing that it is possible for man to attain right while he is in the world and still a part of its necessary functions?…Faith is the bridge which consciousness must build before it can traverse the abyss that separates the finite from the infinite….Therefore it is essential to give faith a chance even if at first your motive be selfish.  You need to open the door, you need to build the bridge, you need to believe even if momentarily in order that you may become filled with grace and with the great cosmic potential of Life that you really are.

  We realize that the voice of the world speaks stridently with authority over human consciousness; but in listening grace let us not forsake our faith that God is, that the potential of the universe is, that the cosmic Presence within the life of the individual is, that simply/sweetly the life of all is a manifestation of that valiant faith in higher potential that breaks forth as flower of hope everywhere….

  His nature unleashed within the being of man is a necessary part of the inner awakening of every soul.  Man has considered outer conditions to be more satisfying than inner communion; (but) they must be responsible to God and to their fellowmen, fulfilling their appointed role and never submitting to the temptation to withdraw before the joy is done simply because they know that the human scene is transient.  For earth is a testing-ground where men must earn the right to be immortal and to be vested with immortal opportunity….

  Albeit you may not be aware of my involvement in the world of form I have had sufficient contact with humanity over the centuries to make a proper assessment of the factors governing their consciousness.  I remain convinced that the power of faith in the invisible world when correctly exercised is the means to a man’s salvation, and if it is the means, then certainly it can become the means to planetary and universal salvation….

  What a density of fear man has drawn forth with his creative power!  Let him know that the same creative affluence can be lavished upon higher destiny….Won’t you accept my spirit of God-victory through faith?  Won’t you give the hidden springs of your loveliness opportunity and power to manifest?  Won’t you be my faith in action?  I thank you.
