-Taj Mahal
Freedom of the press was not intended to give license to the corrupters of youthful minds, neither was it intended to be used to confuse and disorganize the populace, flooding their brains with jingoistic propaganda and prejudicial discriminations. Rather the power of light was intended to emanate from a free press and exalt everyone into a rightful sense of cosmic destiny….
I do not say that the world is not full of aspiration and good intentions, but the highways so paved do not seem to lead to the best places. Thus it happens that the children of the world become wiser in each succeeding generation in the arts and artifices of war and in the many customs of world society without ever becoming too stirred about the regenerate and peaceful society of saints!…How ill-equipped is the concept of a destiny which can be shaped by human misconceptions. …
You must understand the mystery of oneness whereby a thread of contact between each life and its Source serves to connect all who live to one great central switchboard. Here the interaction of thought and feeling is guarded lest it hurt any part of life in the holy mountain of God….
It is not enough that men come to drink when the invitation from higher sources has gone forth. They must make new skins to retain the new wine of infinite goodness and purpose. This is spiritual alchemy, and wise are they who first master it in themselves before attempting to govern the elements in others or in nature--for thus is karma justified by wisdom and rendered benign.
-Saint Germain: Pearls of Wisdom 5:31

The greatest need of mankind today--and I say this unequivocally--is the development and the nurturing of the sense of the universal as belonging completely to the individual. From thence is drawn the foregone conclusion that the individual must also be sensed as belonging to that universal cosmos so conceived….
There is no greater deterrent to progress than isolationism that evolves out of the sense of separation from Life wherein the smallness of the ego, pitted against indeterminate odds, lurks in the shadows of uncertainty….But I am certain that the soul which desires to climb the hill of attainment to reach the summit peaks will neither find fault with nor reject the necessary chain of experiences that are intended to broaden the mind, sharpen the intellect, exalt the spirit and test the mettle of a man….A just sense of the equal opportunity of all to apprentice themselves to the Master Alchemist is a prerequisite to personal freedom….
I do not say that individuals should not be loyal to those whom they love and in whom they believe. But I do declare that man’s first loyalty should be to his true Self, his own God-Identity and to his Christed being, and then to those of like mind. Above all the purposes and uses of life must be rightly understood and practiced….
One law then would I instill in the hearts of the students of alchemy: God is absolutely just--the universe is absolutely just. All injustice arises either in man’s misinterpretation and misunderstanding of the flow of events or in man’s mishandling of justice. As I have stated before, every student must be willing to throw off the shackles of the false teachers and their false teachings. …
One of the major causes of recalcitrance, arrogance, willful wrongdoing, disobedience, rebellion and stubbornness is the vain hope of individual attainment without individual effort or of personal salvation without personal sacrifice. Mankind do not relish the idea of painstakingly withdrawing every thread and snarl they have placed in the garment of life or of attaining heaven by honest application--yet they must one day face this truth of themselves. -Saint Germain: Pearls of Wisdom 5:34

It is one thing to see the ignorant feeding upon unclean substance, but to see the children of the Sun to whom has been entrusted the Banner of Hope feast at the same board with the sons of Belial is a sight calculated to make the hair stand on end. Yet the mercy of God proceeds, life proceeds, and the carvers of jade and ivory watch as men distort the figures of nobility into the mud-pies of a child....-
The handwriting on the wall, whether or not it is seen by men, has made its appearance to the discerning. We are not abandoning the ship of state. We are carefully integrating the saints into the fold of service for the plan. ...
There is no end to striving, for beauty unfolds progressively within the transcendent image of God....
Morya challenges. Was the Taj Mahal the work of an empty moment? What of the Great Pyramid of Gizeh? Has it outlived its creators? What is the message of the Taj, of the Pyramid?
(by Vasnetsov, 1882)
