Joy to the world which was expressed by the angelic hosts on the occasion of the nativity of the Christ flooded the entire planet with the choruses of the angelic hosts. And the joy that expressed in the hearts of the shepherds leaped from heart to heart across the fields and plains, forests and mountains until it entered into the heart of even a tiny shepherd boy upon the hillsides of a land far across the sea.
Precious ones of the light, you think nothing today of experiencing television and radio programs broadcast around the world. The wonders of a few years ago cease to be wonders to your minds. But, beloved ones, two thousand years ago this was a transcendent experience when the joy of the angels passed into the hearts of the shepherds and swept around the world into the pages of history and into the consciousness of mankind.
The martyrs of that era of early Christianity expressed their love through giving their all. But the comfortable experiences of present-day Christianity are a far cry from that era of sacrificial offering when to take a stand for the light of God was almost tantamount to the loss of one’s physical life. Today, beloved ones, the world knows more about the meaning of freedom, it knows more about the meaning of peace, it knows more about the grace of God. The intellectual comprehensions of mankind have been expanded and theologians understand more of the ancient scriptures. The arts of printing and communication have been enhanced and expanded until the world today is not the world of two thousand years ago.
And the multitudes have increased. Those who heard the words of the Christ as he walked among men two thousand years ago upon the hillsides of Judaea were few in comparison to the multitudes of the earth who are hungry and who are thirsting today for the living water of Life. But that water of Life is like a great river and, this very hour, is being offered to all who are athirst that they may drink.
Individuals, through habits of thought and feeling as this beloved one told you, have become somewhat recalcitrant, and they no longer realize the inner voice of their own Mighty God Presence. But they have heard the voices of discord and the voices of confusion of the world until the voice of the Christ seems far distant. But I AM come today to charge into your midst the radiance that is familiar to your souls, the radiance that is your natural habitat, the light that will exalt you and raise you and comfort you, the light that will be a solace unto you when you seem to be separate one from another and from all forms of comfort. For the light of God will penetrate your consciousness as you lie upon your beds and cannot sleep, when the cares and oppressions of the world seem to press in upon you and you find difficulty in finding peace. If you will turn your hearts toward Christ and make a call unto him he will respond and with blazing light come into your forcefield to bring you that same peace and love which he brought to mankind long ago.
You are dealing now, beloved ones, with immortality, you are dealing with the realm of the ascended masters. You are dealing with the compassion of heaven. It is no ordinary or mortal concept that comes to your mind, but it is the concept of Life, the concept of eternal Life, the concept of the Grace of heaven.
The Grace of heaven, beloved ones, transcends history, it transcends the known world, it transcends your human thoughts. The Grace of God is sufficient for you for every occasion which you may ever face. And with the waning of all human sensibilities mankind will find the dawning of the cosmic sense wherein they are able to cognize the nearness of the heavenly octaves and the spheres of light to their own consciousness.
The tiny babe lifts its eyes toward its own God Presence, and it smiles. And those individuals in the presence of that babe are pleased to see the smile upon the face of the child, but they do not know of the vision of angels which appears to the tiny one. Much later in life when familiarity with the world scene has closed the door and the curtain that separate the consciousness of the child from the wonders of heavenly spheres, those visions come then no more. And the child becomes a part of the mass consciousness--guided by parents, guided by teachers, guided by companions, many of whom are fit and many of whom are unfit to guide.
The pressure then, of mass consciousness builds up a synthetic man—not a manifestation of the eternal Light but a manifestation of carnality destined to be confused, destined to confuse and destined eventually to perish as an individual entity and pass from the screen of life. But this is not the plan of immortality, and God is immortal. God is immortal! And in His immortality there is peace and joy forever without end.
The harshness of the world, the clanging furor of the tides of mortality do not comfort mankind, and therefore they run to and fro, seeking peace. And no peace is given to them, and yet they continue to seek. For it is the great God-Self within, that manifested in the cosmic sense in the tiny babe, that must awaken. This cosmic sense, like a rosebud, must unfold. Like a lotus it must breathe its perfume into space.
When the consciousness of man begins to unfold it becomes as a little child. And as it becomes as a little child the entire glory of heaven is revealed to that individual. And man realizes that outer life has been a chimera, and that all that eyes have seen and that ears have heard is nothing to be compared to the wonders of the eternal spheres!
I, Maitreya, come to you as a father would to his children. And I come to you today to breathe upon you concerning the cosmic sense that you may awaken within yourselves to the glory of God which is present in space wherever you are. Individuals have the idea that God is far removed from them. But this God that I declare unto you today, beloved ones, is as near as your hands and feet or as close as your heart and breath.
The inflowing of cosmic light within the body of man is a gift of the Presence of God which is perpetuated momentarily by the intelligence of heaven in action. The Christ mind--the divine power that beats your heart while you sleep, that gives to your physical consciousness, your body elemental and your mind the understanding to govern all of the senses that control body movements both voluntary and involuntary--is a gift of God.
Be grateful then for this gift, but above all be grateful for the gift that is the eyes of your soul, the hearing of your soul, the understanding of your heart. For you are not your garments that you wear. You are not these physical bodies, you are a living soul! At inner levels you wear garments of immortality, and these are real and tangible, but because you have diverted your attention from the inner realm to the outer,you are not aware of the inner garments that you wear—and it is as though you were bereft of your attire.
Pause now and think, beloved ones, what it means to be clothed upon with immortality. Beloved Hilarion, when embodied as Saint Paul, warned mankind of the fact that they must first put off mortality if they would put on immortality. I today admonish you, beloved ones of the light, that you likewise recognize the need to put off the mortal senses during those moments when you desire to awaken the senses of immortality. In the name of Almighty God, precious students of the light, if you are thinking of entertainment, if you are thinking of food, if you are thinking of some accomplishment that you wish to do in order to expand your own personality--during a time when you are trying to make attunement with your God-Self--how can you possibly make that attunement? You must then put off the consciousness of the outer man, of the human self. You must come in full faith to the fount of Almighty God, believing that He is “and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.”
This is a truth pursued of old by Enoch, pursued of old by every ascended master who ever made the ascension. This Christ-seeking must become the goal of man if he would awaken to all of the potency and power of the sacred fire.
Beloved ones, some of you have idly dreamed of moments when you would be able to say to a man with a withered hand, “Be thou made whole!” Some of you have idly dreamed of a moment when you could at a glance pass an individual on the street who was suffering from habitual drunkenness and be able to speak to that one at inner or outer levels and say “Be thou free! Be thou whole!” Some of you have been more ambitious, and you have dreamed of how you could reach out your hand as the Christ did and raise men from the dead.
Well, beloved ones, this power is within you. But it is most important that you recognize that you as individuals must first put off the old man and his deeds—you must put off the consciousness of the world sense and put on the new mind of the Christ if you are to accomplish these specific feats and enjoy these cosmic graces, these cosmic gifts. These gifts are given to you. They are free--they are without money, they are without price. They are held for you now by your own Mighty I AM Presence and they will manifest in your world, and no power in heaven or earth can possibly prevent their manifestation at that moment when you are ready to receive them.
But, beloved ones, you cannot be made ready to receive them until you yourself have elected to open up the senses of heaven--to recognize the angelic hosts, to recognize the ascended masters, to recognize your own Mighty I AM Presence as the only power in your world. There is no other power but God. There is no other power that can act in your world but the power of God!
I ask therefore that you pause as I make contact with the beloved angelic hosts and ask them to pour their radiance into the chalices of your hearts. I ask that they saturate you with the pure light rays from their hearts, charged with the essence of roses and fragrance of pine. I ask that you be made aware then of the sweetness of the soul of God that is within you and of the eternal Presence of God within you. The eternal Presence of God within you is forever and forever and forever. It is without end. Therefore accept this gift from the angelic hosts that are part of my band of light. I ask you now to be at peace [interval of meditation with music].
Children of the light, I want to remind you that each one of you was conceived by God. I want to remind you that you came not through the gate of birth by accident, but you came by conscious, divine intent. I want to remind you that your life was as divinely intended a manifestation as was the birth of beloved Jesus and other great avatars.nnI want to remind you that the hopes of heaven for you were and are great, that simply because individuals have permitted their own self-hope to become dim does not prevent the immortal concept of God from being held steadfast for every lifestream. And it is this anchor--it is this anchor, beloved ones of the light—that causes each man to feel the pull of immortality, leading him onward to seek, to understand the great cosmic Laws and the great cosmic Light.
I am known as the Great Initiator, and it is my responsibility to take interest concerning the unfoldment of individual chelas in coming through the stages of initiation of the Great White Brotherhood. Today,as I gaze not only upon those lifestreams who are assembled within this room but upon the lifestreams of all humanity I behold among mankind many who are ready for various stages of initiation. Some are ready for cosmic stages of initiation, some are ready for less advanced stages of initiation. But many are making themselves ready by application to their own divinity.
The bonds of divinity are so far greater than mortal concepts that it is sometimes difficult to bridge the gap between human words and divine ideas so that mankind will understand the wonder of which I speak. Mankind today are plagued because of the fact that, through the semantics of words, they do not always understand or conceive of the true power of the Word of God. But the Word of God is the progenitor of every individual within this place, upon this planet and everywhere in the universe.
This Word of God, beloved ones, is ever blessed. It is tangible and real, it is intelligent, it is Light! And in it there is no shadow, nor is there a shadow of turning. I would like to ask some of you who are young in years: Where shall mankind go? The apostles of the Christ said unto him “Where shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal Life.” And this is Truth--the words of eternal Life are given to the ascended masters by God.
Individuals have thought that God held all these secrets and all of His powers strictly for Himself and the angelic band. Many among mankind have not understood that God giveth gifts to the ascended masters, gifts of hierarchial power whereby they are specifically charged with certain momentums of freedom, of obedience, of love. This is also true of the elemental kingdom. As you gaze upon the wonders of nature, beloved ones, have you ever stopped to consider that almost every tree and bush has an angelic or elemental being standing guard over it to see that it outpictures the perfect plan of God? Have you ever stopped to realize that just as each individual has a blessed guardian angel, so every manifestation of nature has some specific God-intelligence which watches over that manifestation to see that it comes to fruition and to perfection?
Well, beloved ones, then realize that your Mighty I AM Presence, the great Electronic Body of God from out the Great Central Sun, came forth in dazzling blazing light as a duplicate of the magnanimous ever-expanding light of the Mighty I AM Presence in the very heart of the Great Central Sun and was duplicated for each individual’s own Mighty I AM Presence. And this duplicate, beloved ones, is never separated from the Central Sun itself or from the Presence of God within the Great Central Sun so that every man, woman and child’s Mighty I AM Presence is one with everyone else’s own Mighty I AM Presence. This makes of all life one, and there is then no diversity whatsoever.
And I am speaking now, beloved ones, concerning inner levels. For when you gaze outwardly you behold individuals of various stages of development. You see them representing various age groups as far as physical aging processes are concerned. But as you look on the inner you see no such condition. You see only the perfection of God manifesting at every point in space where there is an individual lifestream. Now that lifestream when that individual awakens to his own cosmic identity will find that he is able to shake off the fetters of mortality and to become charged with the power of divinity! Well, when an individual awakens to the power of divinity an initiate is born on the world scene. The star of Bethlehem appears in the cosmic sky, and the star of that nativity of divinity is manifest to the ascended masters. And immediately when they perceive this they send forth a special protection to seal that lifestream in the protection from the heart of God coming down through the angelic hierarchy presided over by Archangel Michael.
Do you see, beloved ones, how great cooperation takes place at inner levels— how at inner levels the levels of the Spirit of life, perfection and protection ever manifest? There are three people within this room who within the past week would have left this Earth if it were not for the protection of their own Mighty I AM Presence and their guardian angel. One of them is somewhat aware of it; the other two are not. But I would like to point this out to you because you do not realize just when you may need the perfection and the protection of your own God Presence.
O beloved ones, what conceit and what vanity is present in human consciousness! And yet we are not here to condemn you, for you are children of the light, and you were born to receive the glory of that birthright. We are here to assist you and we are ever here to bless you. We will not forsake you. Your Mighty I AM Presence will not forsake you. Every ascended master and cosmic being will stand by you “through thick,” as you might say it, “and through thin” so long as you yourself are consciously willing to do your best to accept the plan of God, to understand the plan of God, to walk circumspectly as much as you are able.
Beloved ones, God is no tyrant. Your Mighty I AM Presence is no tyrant! I would say that your Presence has been most lenient—the Presence of Life has been most lenient to all mankind. But although the Presence has given men their freedom they have not enjoyed God’s universe with that freedom simply because the freedom which they have enjoyed they have made into fetters. It is the intention of God to see to it that those fetters are cut and that mankind are set free from every condition that binds them to the continual round of rebirth, and that they experience those cosmic initiations which cut them free from the power of death.
Beloved ones, what is death? You understand what life is, but life, beloved ones, cannot end. For life itself is a quality. How can a quality cease to be? And inasmuch as you have life, how can you cease to be--I ask you in the holy name of God, how can you cease to be? Precious ones, that which mankind know as death is only the end of a cycle; and when that cycle comes it merely means the beginning of a new cycle. And this continual round as circles within circles and wheels within wheels is a manifestation of divine intelligence and the life plan of God. But God intends mankind to have continuity of consciousness, and therefore today I would like to point out a very specific principle to the students: at the end of each embodiment, in mercy, the door of memory is sealed so that the lifestream coming into embodiment in most cases does not recall the events of his past life, except dimly. But, beloved ones of the light, that is not the intention of God. God intends men to have an unbroken, continuous, conscious knowledge that they are.
I ask you right now to ponder and consider the meaning of “I AM.” I AM, beloved ones, means “being” and it means “existence” and it means “bliss”! Well, if it means existence and bliss then that existence cannot be broken or interspersed by a series of experiences whereby you do not know anything, whereby you no longer are aware of yourself, whereby you are in shadow or darkness, for God is all Light. And therefore because He is all Light He would bestow upon every son of Himself a continuous experience.
I ask you, beloved ones, if any of you are aware of the experiences of beloved Jesus from the time they removed his body from the cross until he rose again? Do you recall that the scriptures record that during the time when he was taken down from the cross until the time of his resurrection he preached to the spirits of those who were disobedient during the days of Noah?
Well I think then if the Christ preached to the spirits which were disobedient in the days of Noah that he must have experienced an unbroken consciousness. And I cannot conceive that the Christ who spoke to the thief beside him and said “Today thou shalt be with me in paradise” was himself no longer conscious of God or aware of Life. The Christ was continuously aware of Life. And as part of the great initiatic experiences that come to mankind there is an unbroken series whereby an individual is aware of God--morning, noon and night.
Through the night, at all times an individual is never without consciousness. One is always conscious either in the outer or the inner. And therefore many of our initiates are assembling during the night hours while their physical bodies sleep. And they move in their white robes throughout the earth to assemble in sacred retreats and places set apart that they might be instructed at inner levels concerning the rightness of cosmic Laws by great cosmic masters and by cosmic teachers.
For it is a part of the plan of God to educate mankind continually until men are indeed as wise as gods. It is not the plan of God to keep men in ignorance or to keep men victims of untruth but rather to illuminate mankind by the glory of the Mighty I AM Presence so that the Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood will be revered by all men upon earth and will be a living Spirit of the living Christ in action among men. How can this be except it be a personal experience of each individual?
Beloved ones, when an individual comes into manifestation as a tiny babe that individual in time comes to recognize its own father and mother and members of its household. So it is of the Spirit of Light. When an individual becomes as a babe in Christ--aware of the ascended masters although dimly--there is a gradual expansion of consciousness until at last that individual is able to walk and talk with ascended masters and cosmic beings as freely as you have your social familiarity here among mankind. And this is as it should be. For the patriarchs of old communed with angels, communed with cosmic beings. And this will happen to you and eventually, precious ones, you will find that heaven is all around you, and the roses of heaven will blossom at your feet. The fragrance of heaven will penetrate your body and your mind. The light of heaven will lift you up in consciousness until you will feel at home beneath the stars! For you will know that they are points of light within this mighty universe of light. You will know that there are points of light--chakras within your body, and centers of light--and that in time all of these points of light will blend into one beautiful star, the star of initiation whereby you are able to pass through the star-doorway and commune with nature, with elementals, with angelic hosts.
You will no longer be possessed with a mere sense of a physical body and limitations of that body. You will be able to leave the body at will, and you will be able to move anywhere upon this planet or upon many planets at will. And you will find a freedom from fear, from bondage, from need to partake of food, from need to be subject to natural and manmade laws in an ordinary sense. For you will become subject to the great cosmic Laws, and these transcend all other laws.
Precious ones of the light, the goal is mighty. The race needs the help of the ascended masters. This we are willing to give. We ask that you make the call within yourself; we do not ask that you necessarily make the statement before mankind concerning your inner intention.
Those of you who may be timid today and may not quite recognize the voice of the Good Shepherd, I ask tonight before you close your eyes in sleep, that you make a call to God, to your own Mighty I AM Presence, and that you ask Him to guide your footsteps that you may understand the power of light, the power of the ascended masters, the power of the Christ in action--and that you consciously elect to further your progress in the things of the Spirit, that this which passeth away, these “former things” be no longer cleaved to, but that you anchor within the veil that permanent God-consciousness that no man can take from you. And then you will be a part of our band and you will have begun in newness of Life in renewing the consciousness of the atoms and electrons of your body, in charging yourself with the sacred fire. You will be eventually victors, not vanquished.
I thank you and bid you good evening.
………………………………………………………………………….…........................................
May the light of God enfold each one of you and surround your hearts with an abundance of divine Grace which is not moved by human vicissitude but is constant in its application and devotion to its own divinity. I AM come tonight in answer to the heart-calls of mankind to stimulate within the hearts and minds of those who love the light an intense action of the spirit of devotion and adoration.
Throughout the kingdom of nature the motivating force in elemental life is a spirit of vibrant enthusiasm. This enthusiasm sustains the glorious, rhythmic, beautiful ceremonial dances of the elementals. In various parts of the world sensitive individuals are able to see these tiny beings as they caper and dance with happiness in various spots in field and forest. All of this glory, this enthusiasm, this sustained balance is outpictured in the kingdom of nature--that virgin purity which is not despoiled by human concepts or vibratory actions.
I AM come tonight to stimulate in every mother’s heart and in every one of the ladies of heaven upon earth (and I hope that the gentlemen will also find a responsive chord to my message) a response of adoration to God. I am well aware of the fact that among mankind having a spirit of “dialectical materialism” there is little room for sustained devotion, and it has become old-fashioned, as it were. But I hasten to assure each one of you that the light of God which never fails is dependent within men’s hearts on this devotion.
I do not imply that God depends upon man, but I imply and emphatically state that in order for mankind to have the light of God which never fails blazing forth within them they are dependent upon a manifestation of adoration and devotion to their Presence. For it is devotion and adoration which strengthen the bond between themselves and that Presence and enlarge the silver cord connecting mankind with their own God Presence, thus permitting not only the sustaining vibration which beats your hearts and the continuation of its flow but also an increased flow of divine radiance from your Presence down into your world. With this increased energy comes increased responsibility. But the ascended masters have--by divine Law, by petitions and calls to the great Karmic Board, to beloved Alpha and Omega--secured a fiat whereby, as mankind intensify their devotion and their love for God and their Presence, they will be given a special quality of the second ray of divine illumination. This illumination will be sustained within them according to the measure of their devotion so that they will be given the understanding from within the flame of their own heart which will enable them to know how to utilize the additional flow of energy.
This has been granted, and therefore take heart, O mankind. For from this day forward all of the energy that you draw from your Presence, by invoking the spirit of adoration and love to that Presence, will produce a response amplifying the threefold flame within your heart and a corresponding action of the golden flame of illumination which will enable you or any of mankind to have the direct knowledge from within as to how to use this precious energy which is to be added unto you as your just portion.
Blessed ones, I am sure that many of you are aware of the reason why the great cosmic Law cut down the flow of God’s energy into humans and human creation. It was entirely because of the excesses and abuses of mankind—their wrong use of energy, of thought and of feeling. And therefore it is now believed that because adoration is such a powerful factor individuals will once again be able to expand their light with greater rapidity and responsibility. This is all a part of the golden age. This is all a part of the increasing measure of cosmic attention upon the planet Earth.
I know that in your secret chambers, ladies and gentlemen, when you go within to commune with your God-Source there are times when some of you are somewhat filled with doubt. I do not mean to imply that you are literally filled with it but that you have a portion of doubt occupying the conscious mind. And in a sense it is almost as though you were filled with it because you are not able to think positively at that moment. And therefore I hasten to tell you that this doubt must evaporate before the action of the threefold flame as it expands within your heart. And you must come to realize that as you make your application to God--God who hears and sees and knows all that mankind do--will in turn respond to the calls from your blessed hearts without fail.
And this action which I have described to you this night (the action of intensifying the illumination flame within you) is very precious. For it means that you will have God’s mind intensified within you--God’s direction, the power of the ascended masters speaking directly from within you, the music of the spheres acting directly from within your heart.
It means that many of you, while you will not be able to do as this Messenger is doing--make direct contact with the ascended masters and permit them to speak through you--will at least have this type of action in connection with your own Presence, which means that you will be able to hear the voice of your own Presence if you will pour out enough adoration to that Presence so that it may fill the cup of your devotion with enough sustaining love until the mind of God, the mind of Christ, the mind of the ascended masters occupies the place now occupied by fears, doubts, trepidations and vacillations.
O blessed ones, pause for a moment and think of the many upon earth who do not know of the ascended masters, who do not know of our love and our efforts on behalf of mankind. Are these any less the beneficiary of our love and radiation? I tell you, no--except they do not have the conscious knowledge and therefore cannot make the diligent application which you are able to make. Therefore as a response to the great cosmic Law I am certain that many of you will desire to give a more than ordinary service to the light because of the great responsibility which is given you as we bestow upon you tonight this precious gift. Know also that this gift is not only given here, it is given wherever there is a focus of ascended-master light and love.
The power of the ascended masters is universal. And I, Nada, by reason of my heart’s love have cause to express my gratitude to beloved Charity and to others of the ascended masters who enabled me to make my ascension in the light. And I pour out my adoration tonight to my own divinity in humble, adoring gratitude for this precious ascension which has given me freedom from all human distress and the weights of human creation.
I yearn for the day when you too shall wear the robes of freedom and dignity which I wear. I yearn to take my own garments and give each of you a portion of those garments tonight. I would reach down and take my train, which is beautiful pink in color, and ask the invisible angelic hosts to sunder it from my garment and divide it up into many small segments and give it to you in your finer bodies that you may have the love radiation which I feel and the adoration which I feel tonight for my own Presence. And thus, shorn of a part of my own raiment for the sake of sharing my love for heaven, I stand magnifying the love-light within my heart and your own. And I call now to Alpha and Omega in the Great Central Sun: O Alpha and Omega, Thou radiant beings of pure light, I, Nada, ask you by the power of the sacred fire to intensify a cosmic action of love within these Thy children and the children of the sacred fire everywhere. Let them feel the power of Charity and Charity’s radiance this night, as I myself did long ago. And magnify, O Alpha and Omega, within the hearts of these Thy children an intense action of divine Love which shall so expand their understanding of that love that they shall never again entertain fear, doubt or confusion concerning the perfect divine plan of light and light’s perfection.
O I thank thee with my heart’s gratitude, Alpha and Omega. I and all the ladies of heaven together give our gratitude to Thee, thou Eternal One, and to the Father, the supreme Light, the ineffable God Presence of all universes without end for all the Mighty I AM Presence is to each lifestream--this power of knowing, this power of being, this power of progressing—until we behold the light of the Infinite shining upon the vast cosmic sea and we know that across that shining sea there is the lotus throne of the Eternal Presence, and we know that the perfume of that Presence is permeating all of mankind’s affairs and floods like the light of the stars across vast expanses of heaven, causing the universe to be held together by the cohesive power of God’s Love!
O Infinite One, conscious then of Thy splendor, we behold Thee situated within the beating heart of the most humble among God’s children. And we see Thee--Gloria in excelsis Deo! We see the glory of God in the highest, magnified within the hearts of these humble individuals who seek to render a transcendent service of prayer and adoration to God not only here but throughout the various religious activities of the world. And we call for their divine illumination that they may come into a spirit of perfect unity not only within themselves but within the heart of all in creation until the sense of divine unity not only penetrates the atoms of each individual’s physical form but expands within his feeling world, his mind and his memory until there is no room within the inn of his being for aught except Thy perfection to manifest!
I AM Nada, your cosmic sister who loves you--O people of the Earth and children of the light in Boston!--with a transcendent love. I would like to point out the progress of the cosmic clock. As your physical watches are ticking off the hours and guiding you, O mankind, to tell you that it is time for you to eat, time for you to sleep, time for you to serve and to love so I tell you, the Creator’s clock, the divine schedule of mankind’s progress, has long chimed the hour for mankind’s perfection--and that day is here. And the time has passed when mankind can afford to sleep.
You will recall how the apostles who walked with beloved Jesus over the dusty roads of Palestine observed the miracles performed by his hand. They observed him raise Lazarus from the dead; they observed him cast out dumb spirits and rebuke the spirits of imperfection from mankind; they saw him cleanse lepers. And yet when the hour came that materialism and its grossness came out against him with swords and staves and spears those individuals forsook him and fled. And when he asked them to watch and pray with him in the Garden of Gethsemane those individuals who had accompanied him upon his mission found that they were unable to remain awake, although he spoke unto them and rebuked them saying “Could ye not watch with me one hour?”
As I AM the Chohan of the Sixth Ray, succeeding beloved Jesus in that office, I would like to point out that the cosmic clock indicates to mankind the seriousness of the voice of opportunity. Beloved Portia joins me this night in directing her energies into this room and sanctuary and forcefield to exalt you and to exhort you to accept with greater measure the opportunity which life affords you to assist mankind, your Presence, the ascended masters and the forces of light in overcoming the grossness of human ignorance.
Activities of light such as the Summit Lighthouse are created, sustained and blessed by us as an impersonal vehicle through which mankind can band together and express their adoration to God and can hear the voices of the ascended masters speaking to the present day and exhorting mankind to obedience to the great cosmic Law of Love.
Mankind today enjoy hearing a beautiful orchestra and sing in adoration to the Spirit of Music. Let them listen then as the Master of Divine Love speaks to them and holds the baton in his hand. Let them listen to our Lord Maitreya as he directs to them the power and pressure of his great cosmic love. I, Nada, thank you this night for your attention. And I call to you and exhort you to diligence, to a sustained spirit of obedience, to an acknowledgment of the victory of your Presence as superior and—above all human ideas to the contrary—as the Spirit that is able to be a victorious overcoming for each lifestream, that shall enable you to overcome sickness, enable you to overcome sin, enable you to rise above death and to cut the cords that bind you to the physical octave until you ascend in divine majesty into the selfsame realm of light’s perfection in which I abide.
I, Nada, thank you. I bless you. I sustain my vibration for twenty-four hours from my speaking within this forcefield of this sanctuary. And I bless the people of the entire Earth with a transcendent ray of ruby and gold--the ministration ray of ordered service, devotion, love, strength for God. And I turn you over to the Master to hear a few words in closing from Lord Maitreya. Thank you, and good evening.
-Nada by Ruth Hawkins
(Lord Maitreya:) O benign ones, thou who art chosen from the beginning to be as the Only Begotten of the Father, I AM come tonight into your forcefield to bring to you a sense of your soul’s unfolding as does a flower. The bud of your own God-Self is waiting to unfold. And you are expected to respond to the vibratory action of this Christ mantle which from within out seeks to array you in immortal garments of strength, power, purity, adoration and complete realization that God is All and in all.
With a sense of the completeness of divinity I wish to tell you tonight that there is a golden thread woven through every circumstance of your lives which is not always apparent because it is underwoven between other threads and it seems to disappear for a moment from your view. But nevertheless that golden thread of perfection is ever present with each of you, and it assists you in finding--if you will pursue it--the way back Home, the way back to victory, glory, purity and tpower of the Cosmic Christ and of the Buddha.
You, blessed ones, seated upon the lotus throne of your own heart, may unfold your latent divinity with all of the safety of a Buddha and of a Christ. The opportunity is yours. No man can take from you this crown. No one can defraud you of this opportunity except yourselves--by feeling that you are unworthy, by feeling that you are unwilling, by feeling that you are not chosen. And yet, I, Lord Maitreya, have assured you in full faith that each of you and all of mankind were chosen to express the fullness of God upon earth!
Take then this opportunity. Consider it most precious. And so the Spirit of God shall so exalt you as to bring you into our presence at night while your physical form sleeps and confer upon you those cosmic initiations which will raise you and set you apart from mankind as a peer in heaven’s eternal courts. Oh, how mankind love and adore, even to this hour, titles and nobility. And yet I tell you, of a truth, the greatest titles and nobility of all are waiting to be conferred by heaven itself upon mankind. And when they are given and bestowed by God no man can part you or sunder you from them, for they are your eternal portion and inheritance.
Now, O cosmic fire, blaze thou within these children! Intensify within them the mantle of Life’s perfection, the unfolding radiance of their purity and of their budding divinity. Let this light so expand within the forcefield of their being that they shall from this night on be able to give to all they meet a greater than ordinary love—the love of God without limit, the love of the ascended masters, the example of the sacred fire in physical manifestation!
I thank you and bid you good evening. -Nada and Maitreya: 2-10-1962 at Boston via Messenger Mark Prophet

Beloved Saint Germain, beloved friends of the heart of God, the great outpouring cosmic light of your divine identity enfolds you now in the radiance of the Eternal One. This light is raising you in a vibratory action which leads you upward in consciousness to the consciousness of the Great Central Sun.
The Great Central Sun can be thought of as a shepherd, as the Great Shepherd of the sheep. And all human beings who hear the voice of the great heart of God speaking from out the Great Central Sun--beloved Alpha and Omega--will know that peace of God which we as ascended beings share at a common table whereby we partake of the bread which came down from heaven--the bread which, as mighty light rays, poured out from the sacred altars of God and brought forth the Sun in splendor, shining both as a physical sun in the universe and in the Universe behind the universe as a spiritual Sun within the very heart of the being of God.
The rays of light from the Great Central Sun pouring forth to the Sun of this system of worlds kindled the radiance of the Solar Logos. And the radiance of the Solar Logos sent forth its mighty light rays to this Earth and kindled the radiance of beloved Virgo, the Mother-earth principle, activating the light rays within that great being. And the solar radiance then of the Great Central Sun descended also from the Great Central Sun to the Sun of this system of worlds--to beloved Helios and Vesta--and activated your own lifestreams so that you are truly in essence a sunbeam, a ray of light from out the Great Central Sun. I would like the students tonight to cherish this idea.
So long as you think of yourselves, beloved ones, as clay, as density, as a conglomeration of human effluvia you are not enjoying the supreme radiance of light! Well, think of your bodies tonight, beloved ones, as light. Think of yourselves as light, as a sunbeam from out the Great Central Sun. I, Maitreya, would initiate many of you into the solar radiance in the solar chambers. If you will only devote your heart’s attention tonight as you pass into sleep to your own Mighty I AM Presence and request it of me, I will try to exalt all of you that the great Law will permit into a greater unfolding of your spiritual sonship.
I will bestow upon all who are worthy a greater degree of initiation than they have ever known before. This condition will be brought about solely to assist the mankind of Earth in obtaining their ascension. For, beloved ones, wherever there is a candidate for the ascension upon this planet the radiance around that individual is a blessing to all the consciousness of life embodied here. It was this power, this radiance, this glory which manifested in beloved Jesus which magnetized the audiences upon the hillsides of Judaea, which flooded forth and quickened the consciousness of men, which produced healings of consciousness and which gave joy to the hillsides of the world because the Christ walked upon them! I bless you and I thank you by the power of the light from out the Great Central Sun.

One by one they have come. One by one I have gazed upon their faces, I have read the record, I have perceived the intent, I have given my love. One by one they are raised and yet the Law calleth forth torrents and multitudes.
The sweetness, the gentle simplicity of the pure God-design is so captivated by the strands of human personality that it is as though they were bound hand and foot, caught in a mesh of their own weaving from which they cannot extricate themselves. And yet as an acetylene torch will cut through steel, so the power of love, the blue-flame power of the holy will of God, poureth forth its radiance and severeth, strand by strand, the fetters of human makin until at last the soul goeth free as a bird from a cage and soareth into the heavens to reunion, to initiation, to understanding, to bliss. In the stillness of the holy radiance that poureth forth God’s love--in the stillness of that love, all form vanishes in a burst of light!
I AM come. I AM come to represent the mighty Hierarchy, conferring upon those who would serve our cause a more than ordinary honor--the honor of the ages--anchoring them in the cleft of the rock of ages, extending over them our white mantle, consecrating them to the pure edict of light.
Understanding floweth forth as a sharp sword, a cutting sword, a piercing sword. It severeth, as it were, the unclean from the clean and divideth clearly light from darkness. Initiation conferreth upon all the mantle of the Christ and the holy portion that is every man’s allotment of the Holy Spirit. Be thou still; be thou at peace; be thou aware of thy God. It is not in mere words, the release of holy sound, but it is in the release of holy substance that men are made clean by the clean flame of devotion, the clean flame that purifieth and sweepeth away all that is not clear and radiant and pure and lovely until that which remaineth is God, is Good, the basic Christ Child simplicity.
The holiness of Saint Francis and of the anointed Christ consciousness manifested by Jesus, the World Teachers who stand by my side to serve--these are tested men of God, men of cosmic honor, men of cosmic virtue. These came long ago and were presented to me. And as I gazed at their young faces I knew then that I beheld an avatar.
And I will tell you something about those who have the Office which I hold. Those who have the Office which I hold are as thrilled with a manifestation of the supernal radiance of the elect as God would have us be. Our delight is in these tiny things: to gaze upon a face and to know that here is a victor, to initiate such a one into the mysteries of heaven, to place upon such shoulders the clean, white linen, the arrayment of our Office. This is an honor conferred upon us, and we are indeed grateful for the manifest opportunity of doing this for all who will come as a sweet child to receive the olive branch of peace and the holy dove descending upon their consciousness.
There was a cry that went forth in the past, but it was negative. It pertained to human degradation; therefore I shall not use it this day, even though it is recorded and written. But instead I shall utter the message of its antithesis, of its opposite, of its manifestation as God intended. Do you remember the shepherd king David? Do you remember the psalms that flowed forth from his heart? “ The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures....He restoreth my soul....Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow...I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me, Thy rod and Thy staff.”
And so the psalms of David have brought a sweet music to the souls of men, and it has come to pass that the release of his energy has mounted to do honor to the King of kings and the Lord of lords. The tensions of the world are lessened, far lessened by holding the focus upon such holy words, by cherishing the outpouring of his wondrous heart. And so I pay tribute today to those lonely souls, as Tabor did this night past, and call to your attention that these are not lonely souls in reality but are souls of divine union who have passed through the tests, the trying crucible tests of life, and have attained a manifest victory which cannot be denied by man, nor by their contemporaries, nor by their own families or their friends. I would call to your attention the statement that was made by beloved Jesus pertaining to friendship, stating that whosoever doeth the will of God was his friend and, in a sense, his brother and mother and endeared one.
Blessed ones, as you go forth to keep the flame of your divinity you must recognize that some of you are as untried knights by comparison, and some of you are squires in the learning process, desiring to stand as the Knights of the Table Round but remaining yet completely untested and untried. Were you to come to me today where I am--for I am in the Cave of Light, in Chananda’s retreat--I tell you that a very special dispensation could be given. For we have summoned a tremendous radiance. And this radiance is to be released tomorrow in accordance with the divine intent, with the breaking of the dawn and is intended to accelerate its tempo until at the hour of twelve it shall reach its zenith in the time zone where you are. This has been coordinated by the Darjeeling and Indian councils in order to confer upon the students assembled here the rising crest of that holy momentum, releasing it to the heart of America and dispensing it for all nations to drink of the cup of its radiance.
Of course if you were here today and could bathe in the accumulated radiance, I am certain you realize that it would indeed strip from your being layers upon layers of densified substance until, by its power and pressure, you would find yourselves so much closer to your precious goals.
I regret that I could not open my arms and form a pathway of light over which you all might walk to come here today to partake of this momentum. But I think by telling you of it that some compensation shall be given. For in your thoughts, your mental body and your emotional body can, in a sense, be projected to us here and receive the mighty flame passing through your mental body, through your emotional body to still the feelings of frustration and distress there, to wipe away from your being the cause, effect and record of memory that is sordid and destructive and, by divine discrimination, to enable you to feel the anointing that was placed upon David’s head and upon the head of Jesus and upon the head of all avatars who have ever come to our retreat and who have ever knelt before me as the hierarch that I AM.
O precious ones, my love for you is so great this day that it is as though I would give another million years of service to this blessed planet if I felt that by so doing I could free this generation. And yet, the Karmic Board will not permit it; the great Law will not allow it. And so we are all tempered, you see, in our moments of high inspiration by the greater wisdom flame of God which demands the best course for all.
Therefore as I speak to you now I advocate that in the stilling of your consciousness you cognize the meaning of quietness and contemplation and purity. Visualize now with me in a special manner so that you may have conferred upon you a mighty blessing. Before each one of you visualize a cube one foot square. This cube is white and resembleth alabaster. At this moment it is like unto a bulb through which a current is not passing. We will in this experience cause it to glow but not yet. We must first tell you of what significance this cube is. The cube is foursquare. The cube is indicative of the New Jerusalem. The cube is indicative of the Holy City celestial that descendeth from God out of heaven. The cube is significant of the white stone and the new name that is given to all who are able to receive it.
The cube represents your potential entrée into that Holy City of God, builded upon the prophets and teachers and avatars of all ages, builded upon the lives of the saints, builded upon the cosmic unity of the Foursquare City, builded upon the initiatic system of the Great White Brotherhood. This great cube of light represents also then your own precious contact with the Great White Brotherhood. This cube is symbolic and factual—factual in the sense that in God’s eyes and by His power He may make the largest offering of any relative size according to His desire. And therefore this cube appearing before you in space which you hold with your hands is in essence as big as God would choose to make the New Jerusalem--a place of limitless light and consciousness and purity, a place where all of the saints of the universe and of all universes can abide. Could it then be small? Could it then be too large? It is exactly the correct size.
And as you recognize that this is your portion--your stone in the eternal temple representative of the crystal-clear perfection of your identity—you will realize that were it surrounded now with mud and slime and human refuse it would be unfit to place in the temple all bright, all light, all pure, all holy. And therefore this temple must of necessity be held in spiritual dimensions, for it cannot yet be trusted to the flesh.
E”re the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.” Know ye not then that the aspirations of men and their intents are so frequently cast aside in desperate moments? Individuals have actually forsaken this fraternity without realizing the potential that is within it. This is most unfortunate for themselves and for us too. For had they remained they would have had conferred upon them the eternal promises in a greater measure and a greater outpouring. And yet this shall not deter the faithful, for in all ages the lonely ones have walked the pathway of initiation. They have understood the meaning of dedication and selfless service. They have understood that they alone must pass through the gate of initiation, that no one upon earth could do this for them, that no other person could substitute.
Mothers have knelt at my feet and pled that they might pass through the most horrible of tests in order that their sons might be given a higher place in the kingdom. But the great Law would not permit it, and I have turned them away one and all. All must come alone to this place where they recognize that in their hands they hold their own cosmic destiny, that this white stone that now is before you is a symbol of that potential which lies within you.
El Morya with all of his mighty love and light which blazes forth through me now also because I have mentioned his name is aware of the fact that he could not with all his love push you through and fit you into that temple perfect and beautiful. Only your own God-given freewill, continually driven against all the forces of opposition, can hold a perfect balance--the key to your own soul’s salvation. “In your patience possess ye your souls” is the power that will enable you to hold the God-design and God-direction that will make it possible for you to enter into the temple that is indeed more within your own hands than in the hands of God, for He has given it to you!
Do you see, beloved ones? It has always been yours. It was the enrichened cosmic design which God entrusted to you in the beginning which has always been there and has never been taken from you, except that it was raised into a higher pattern not only in your higher mental body but in the very center of the great God-flame within your own individualized I AM Presence. And it has descended this day from your own Presence as the gift of life.
It is possible for you to contact that Presence. It is possible for you to contact that perfection. It is possible for you to be fit into the eternal temple and to keep the flame of your divinity blazing--not only now but ever hereafter!
And for this reason I say to you—as you hold this seemingly inert temple of life which is your own being foursquare within the power of your own hands--know that at one given moment in this service we shall light it with the great cosmic flame. And then as that cosmic flame blazes in tremendous whiteness and radiance it shall come to pass that all of you shall offer to your own God Presence this white stone that is your own true reality containing your name, symbolizing your service to life forever. And you shall offer it to your Presence knowing that only your Presence has the perfect key that will enable you to work out your perfection.
And therefore as you return it to your Presence, all splendid and shining with holy radiance, you will always remember that you have held this divine treasure right within the forcefield of your own physical hands, and also that it has passed through the hands of your Holy Christ Self and is retained for you within the heart of your great God Presence within the very central flame of God’s own heart.
Now, precious ones, the moment draweth close when the angels of initiation shall draw very near. Therefore I shall ask that music be played, first in a soft manner and then coming to a crescendo where the radiance can blaze forth and awareness can dawn upon your blessed consciousness this day. You have journeyed here in contemplation of greater light, and you shall receive that light. But the degree that shall manifest shall be determined by determinative factors in your own being and world. All are not the same, and yet we have given to all the same cosmic cube. All are not the same, for all have not cognized the use of that which is within their hands.
And yet the possibility of equality lies as a gift in the hand of all. As men bear this responsibility and knowledge well they shall no longer blame another for their own shortcomings or failures. Neither shall they blame themselves, but they shall say to their own God Presence: I AM ready! In all of the ages that have passed when failures have plagued me, generated by my own lack of understanding, I know that Thou wert there, that Thou have guided me unto the present hour. Therefore I stand, waiting my own cosmic initiation. I desire a place in Thy great sheepfold. I would be a stone in the temple pure and holy and immortal. I offer myself and all that I AM to Thee! Take me and use me, assimilate me and direct me.
And observe, dear hearts, how the cosmic response will generate in your minds a new law acting--a law that will fulfill your design with the speed of light, the speed of lightning and the power of the angels. This will happen if you expect it. This will happen if you direct it, knowing that it is your Presence that will act through you to bring about the manifestation you crave and desire and want so very badly.
O precious ones, go forward in the light! Hold thy cube now more closely and draw thy hands together until it is as though thou canst feel this cube and the pressure thereof restraining thy hands, until it is as though thou couldst not place them together, for this cube is the tangible light substance that is within them. And around this cube thy hands may feel the pressure of that immortal Life which is the glory of the saints of all ages and the power of the eternal Principle made manifest. [music played]
URIM THUMMIM
Glow, radiant cube of light
With immortal substance white—
Let thy brilliance flash in fire
And let thy love all hearts inspire!
For Victory’s Presence here is manifest
And God Himself is blest.
O holy cubes blazing white,
Be offered now to God’s pure light;
Lift thy hands, O blessed ones,
Toward the Sun of thy Presence.
O angelic hosts, take up these cubes of light
Glowing with all the light of the firmament.
O Mighty God Presence, Thou I AM of all,
By Thy light and love we call
For the virtue of the light
And the power of God’s might
To manifest in human night
And see that all things are made right.
‘Tis God’s delight, O blessed ones,
That firms the resolution strong
And arms the heart to distinguish right from wrong
And offer in the name of God so fair
The love and light of a maiden’s prayer.
A beauteous soul of joy comes down,
Descending then to wear his crown;
And all men everywhere rejoice,
For light and power in God’s voice
Shall blaze forth from the mighty Son,
The cosmic being, God’s holy one.
And all men are the fullness then
Of that great flame ablazing there,
The answer to the maiden’s prayer,
The Cosmic Mother whose love shines round
And fills the circuit with the sound
Of heavenly rejoicing and the chord
That is the fullness of the Lord!
May the Great Sun Prince Michael, Lord of the Archangels, sever from thee, blessed ones, forever all that is not of the light of God. May the Great Sun Prince Michael be thy special guardian forever. May the Great Sun Prince Michael protect every Keeper of the Flame. O Archangel Michael, take command of these blessed ones. Give them thy love, and may they give thee their love.
-Maitreya: 3-28-1964 at Washington, D.C. via Messenger Mark Prophet
………………………………………………………………................................................………..….
O mighty tides of light, come forth swiftly now and bid them welcome! The violet flame descends, and all are free from discord and discordant manifestations. The purity of God, the pearl of great price, comes forth. Bid this pearl welcome into thy world. Iridescence, rainbow facets of spiritual light, blaze forth from this immortalized substance! The infinite compassion of the All-Father rest upon you all and abide.
Precious ones, the simplicity of God has been eulogized—but oh, how complex is this mighty simplicity! You have a science, and there are many aspects of the holy science of God. But in the vain imaginings of mankind down through the centuries they have not been able, except through spiritual means, to find permanent happiness. With all of their getting, unless they have received the understanding of the purity of spiritual victory they have labored in vain.
Now as I come tonight to bid you welcome at this wondrous hour, at this solemn convocation dedicated to the holy cause of freedom, I am reminded of the fact that many of you in your calls to God have asked to be taken to temples of light that you might be initiated into a greater degree of cosmic understanding and blessing, in order that you might find freedom from every aspect of human discord that has troubled your heart and mind, that you might know to a greater measure the fullness of Christ peace. And therefore, tonight, as I draw near with effulgent garments of light I am determined to bring you some measure of compressed Christ peace.
You see, beloved ones, you live in time which is sparse in its concentrations. For man’s use of time has often been most impractical. But we live in the octaves of light where our every thought is the magnification of the kingdom of God in a most wondrous scientific way whereby the problems which mankind cope with are lessened as a result of our services. But we ourselves are enabled in a magnificent transcendentalism to rise above the particular spiritual status which we had at the moment our ascension was conferred upon us.
Do you see, beloved ones, the process of initiation is a most wondrous method whereby the aspirant is lifted upon the cosmic ladder, step by step, into realms of greater achievement? Then it is necessary that all should understand that this present hour, this time and place, is but a springboard whereby you may eventually make a cosmic leap into your ascension, finding a new freedom and harmony such as you have known only on occasions while embodied in flesh.
When you attain then to this wondrous position whereby you are able to behold the face of God in greater measure you will find that many wonderful ideas which you had never even considered during your entire embodiment are made known to you by the mind of God. You will understand then the cosmic necessity for the lowering of veils and compartments to separate and segregate mankind in an intellectual and spiritual way so that individuals’ karma might thereby be balanced in a most scientific manner. Consider for a moment, blessed ones, if the life situations of individuals were not developed and planned by the Karmic Board in such a manner as to bring out of the crucible of experience the best possible attainment what it would mean to mankind.
Why, blessed ones, if this were not done by cosmic Law, mankind would be retrogressing and falling backward, whereas under the present system all mankind (even though they do not always realize it) are forging ahead embodiment after embodiment, moving toward the great goals of eternal Life.
Mankind today, ranged round about then by veils which they cannot pierce, take measure of one another without having the proper spiritual vision. This is why the command has gone forth so often: Judge not lest ye be judged. For with what judgment ye mete it shall be measured to you again. Do you see, precious ones, inasmuch as there are so many wondrous experiences that are yet coming to you after your ascension that you ought to most diligently prepare in this day and age for your cosmic victory?
I think all of you will recognize immediately that the young scholars of this day and age continually prepare themselves that they may attain some place in the world of man and in the affairs of mankind. Some of them, blessed ones, almost from their earliest years begin to make preparation whereby they may select some particular office. Others drift with the times and are content to accept whatever life offers them.
I think that here in this place there are assembled magnificent lifestreams compared to the norm upon the planetary body. And therefore you, blessed ones, present a best hope to those of heaven’s sons.
In bidding you welcome to this class I urge you to accept no past set of experiences as criteria for that which shall be done in this class. For it is our aim to eclipse all that has been done in the past by a magnificent God-outpouring that shall enable some of you to propel yourselves forward into your victory in an almost unprecedented manner! Now this cannot be done of course unless you are willing to give ear to the words of every ascended being who shall speak throughout this conference--unless you are willing to attune with your own Mighty I AM Presence until you will hear the voice of your own Presence giving you the necessary instruction which cannot be imparted in mere worded form but must be heard in the temple of your own being as unspeakable words that cannot be uttered.
Blessed ones, I know full well (for I too have had experiences upon your planet) the toll of human skepticism. Individuals, basing their lives upon human wisdom, have gone down constantly into delusions and pitfalls of the human ego. They have lived life after life upon the planetary body without ever making significant progress. Others who were devoted in their hearts to God, although they were simple people, have progressed remarkably and have attained not only spiritual gifts and graces but mighty outpourings of divine wisdom. You see, blessed ones, we of heaven’s sons do not engage in forms of lottery. But if we were to bet upon anyone, it would be upon the spiritual aspirant. For we know that such men and women--although they may at times suffer as a result of their own karmic situations carried over from past embodiments--will rise above and transcend every outer condition and will ultimately progress in the light to the point where they will win their victory.
My words that I speak to you tonight are words of compassion. For as I search the minds and hearts of those assembled here I find that some have had feelings in the past of human discouragement concerning themselves. And therefore I would like to speak directly to every one of you who has ever felt discouraged with any outer condition of yourself that you could not seem to master. I call to your attention, blessed ones, that these outer conditions are the result of a momentum, and that these momentums are based upon human acceptance of mankind’s thoughts and feelings. If then you shall determine with God-determination to overthrow these outer conditions, you cannot possibly fail. For the light of God does not fail! And therefore you will be lifted out of those conditions when you will accept in full faith that God can act through you to purify your worlds and to make you the fullness of all that God desires you to be.
Now, blessed ones, as I am speaking to you I wonder if many of you realize the tremendous opposition which is generated by human thought and feeling throughout the world itself to the coming forth of my words. You see there is always an outer action which attempts to stop the manifestation of the victory of God upon this planet. This is an unconscious action in most cases, for outside of the black magicians and those who in ignorance practice malicious acts, the average individual today is suffering simply as a result of his own frustrations and struggles to satisfy his own vanity. However the chelas of light are distinctly separate from the world at large in their dedication, and they shall ultimately manifest the fullness of the Mighty I AM Presence--not only at inner levels but also in the outer realms of form.
Now, blessed ones, as I come to you tonight I would like particularly to call to your attention that this planet is a very small speck of dust in the cosmic scale. I would like to call to your attention that there are a few individuals in this audience who were embodied upon a planet that existed millions and millions of years ago, and yet you remain in embodiment upon a planet and have not made your ascension.
The name of that planet was Eron. And if you will say those words in your own mind,you will realize that that specific planet--which has itself ascended and won its victory--experienced many conditions similar to this Earth. Now, precious ones, if you will realize the significance of that which I am speaking to you tonight it will spur you on to your victory. Do you realize that there are individuals in this audience who millions of years ago were embodied in flesh forms upon a planet similar to this one? And yet because those individuals would not summon the faith from God to actually accept the fullness of their own Mighty I AM Presence they are yet in the bondage of the flesh!
At first this may seem almost unjust. But when you realize, precious ones, that each individual determines by his acceptance of his own Mighty God Presence and use of his free will the Laws of God you will realize that this is not unjust in any respect.
Hold fast now then in faith to the cosmic possibilities of what it will mean to you if you will accept that I AM able to free every one of you--if you will accept it--from the forces of destruction that have caused mankind to accept the miasma of human consciousness and live in it. Precious ones, I am preparing a mighty cosmic release of light substance. Those of you who were present here recently in [attendance at] an address will recall that the Lord Maha Chohan placed here a most magnificent focus of light which was to remain until this class was terminated. Tonight I shall draw upon the energy that was placed here by the Lord Maha Chohan and I shall radiate that energy through this audience in ribbons of blue flame.
Now at the specific moment when I release these ribbons of blue flame,those of you who have enough faith to accept it may take this into your hearts’ chalices and use it to cut yourselves free from every single outer condition that you have ever created which has caused suffering to any other part of life. In other words, blessed ones, if you have ever created any karmic condition which has held you in bondage to another individual, if you will accept these ribbons of blue flame this night it will anchor you into a very special activity of the great Karmic Board whereby you will be able to balance that condition in the near future by some specific act of love which you may do to some other individual upon the planet. And through this act of love you will have full compensation and deliverance from any condition whatsoever that you have ever created in the past.
This is an activity designed to free those of you who have for so long been held in bondage to the flesh and to all that the flesh implies. Therefore I say to you tonight that the action of spiritual attainment that can be generated by your acceptance of this gift of God is tremendous in itself and is an activity which is calculated to mightily assist you unto your ascension. Now, blessed ones, I ask that you hold your hands clasped together directly before you and form a little cup, or chalice, right before your heart. Now I ask that in silence you contemplate the mercy of God. Recognize that the mercy of God is like a sea of infinite light. No man, no condition, no spiritual force of any kind has any power to stay the mercy of God, for His mercy abideth forever!
As you contemplate the mercy of God in its beauteous purple color, radiating through the very heart of Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy, you must recognize that you individually, per se, can tie into that energy of Kuan Yin and the energy of God’s own heart and receive the full release in your feeling world of any brittleness or hardness that you may secretly have harbored against any individual--no matter who that individual is or in what embodiment it may have occurred.
I ask now that your pianist play for a brief period during which I shall prepare for the release of these ribbons of blue-flame substance. When I am prepared to release that substance it shall be done and I shall so signify by the spoken Word. Meanwhile I ask that each one of you relax in consciousness. Let all tension fade from your mind and being--all feelings of age, all feelings of resentments, all feelings of shadowed substance or even the weight of your physical body. I ask that you shall realize that your eyes are the eyes of God and that you have the full right to behold good in all creation. I ask that you realize that when you behold good in all creation your two eyes are indeed ‘single-eye vision’, holding an immaculate concept of cosmic purity which is then released into the world of form and is not a spirit of criticism, condemnation or judgment, but a spirit of Christ-love and compassion.
Now, blessed ones, listen as you imbibe from the very heart of God the great feeling of cosmic mercy that always forgives all mankind and even any resentment you have ever held against the universe itself or the Creator. I thank you.
[interval of music]
O Defender of the Faith, Archangel Michael, take now your cosmic sword of blue flame and come forth and cut through the atmosphere and release the flaming ribbons of blue fire into the heart chalices of all those who accept in faith the gift of God’s love and mercy! Initiate these souls into the full meaning of the Law of Forgiveness that they will clasp to their hearts the mighty benevolence that is conveyed to the entire earth when it is cleansed by the purifying fires of God’s own holiness that holds all in reverence and regeneration and casts aside the ideas of men that hold mankind in mockery and derision.
Far too long has the world looked at one another with an impure eye to say of this one and of that one: “There is a spiritual leper--there goes an individual marked by the stigma of sin. There is an individual that cannot walk uprightly, for that man is dishonest.” Blessed ones, the hour has come when the pure in heart must see God. And when the pure in heart see God it means that they in their own spirit of cosmic benevolence will tie into the great cosmic onrush of God’s own benevolence that rushes forth to give to everyone upon the planet the full measure of the divine concept which speaketh in this wise: And the Lord God saw the creation which He had made, and behold, it was very good. Therefore all men everywhere, measured by cosmic measurement, will be timber--worthy of use in the house of God, worthy to enter in to the mighty cosmic mountain.
Some of you are familiar with the story of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. You recall how he led all of the young people of the community into the mountain, playing his flute and making them happy and how they marched across the sunlit streets to the mountain where a doorway opened. And then they all marched in and the mountain closed. This, blessed ones, is a fable, and yet it has certain elements of truth in it. For mankind when they shall hear the immortal pipings of the cosmic host will understand that as happy children they must troop together with those of the Lord’s band until they have received all of the God-happiness which He intends to give to all.
None dare look to the right or to the left at those who cannot accept the cosmic call, at those who do not have the faith to accept the power of God. These individuals are often unhappy and dissatisfied with life. And yet the chelas of light are not so. They are the seekers, the blessed souls who have determined to mold and to shape the world in accordance with its God-design.
I say, ye are splendid jewels and worthy of purification. Therefore I come this night that you might have the purifying scourging of the activity of light. For those whom God loveth He chasteneth that He might receive many sons and bring them into their freedom and out of captivity.
Captivity, blessed ones, is often upon mankind before he is aware of it, and he does not know that he is the victim of circumstances of his own creation. But there is never any need to sustain the action that binds mankind. For the power of the flame of freedom forever blazes in the hearts of all, and when all shall accept that power it shall reduce to ashes the cords that have bound mankind and cause him to know the wonders of eternal freedom.
Blessed ones, there is a special reason for this address this night. It is given to you as a cosmic initiation--not to startle you or in any way to make you affrighted but to bring you a sense of the greatness of God. For in this little dictation which I have given you I have spoken to you of planetary systems that existed millions of years ago.
Some of you have somehow become enmeshed in a concept of the world. You have thought in terms of a few thousand years, or even a few million years, and of the creation as having occurred as of recent date. Well, blessed ones, the wonders of eternity are so vast as to defy the comprehension of the human mind. But when you receive the gift of your ascension and your mind becomes tied to the mind of God it will expand and expand and expand, taking in ever greater areas of cosmos until at last you will find in the great knowing of the mind of God the complete peace that comes to every ascended being.
We received this gift of peace before our ascension. And when we received our ascension we came to the full measure of knowing. And yet in the infinite mind of God there is always the constant drawing aside of new veils that have hid some wondrous discovery from our being. You see, blessed ones, mankind not knowing the ascended state fancy that we know all things and that there are no initiations in our octave. I assure you such is not the case.
For having won your freedom you will find that there is almost the fullness of universal infinity looming before you. And there will come a point in your own experience where you will feel that you have not yet even begun to live. This experience is referred to as the cosmic dark night of the soul. And it has naught to do with the initiatic experience which mankind have encountered upon the pathway here. This refers to the point where after the ascension the initiate is given an experience calculated to inspire him with the infinite possibilities of his own Godhood. Do you see, blessed ones, then that in this wonderful, paramount hope of Life eternal there is reserved forever and forever and forever blessings of newness of life to be poured out upon mankind for all eternity?
I tell you, you will never be bored with heaven! For you will always find new wonders of creation revealed before the screen of your mind until in the illustrious wonders of God you become possessors of the white stone of infinite power in which is written a new name which no man knoweth saving him that receiveth it. And do you know, blessed ones, that all of you can say the name of God, I AM? And yet those who can say “I AM” in the fullness of the acceptance of their freedom have discovered the new name which God will reveal to them at that hour and day.
Ladies and gentlemen, in preparation for a tremendous spiritual activity on the morrow I take my leave of you. But I shall be here with others of the ascended masters who shall come forth throughout this class to bless you with the fullness of God’s light in the holy name of Freedom. I thank you and bid you good night.

Precious ones of the heart of God, with what dignity the immortal soul has passed from the realms of Life eternal to enter into the world of form and experience [in order] that the challenges flung at the identity of man might materialize in the fullness of God, that man might become a chalice of light-- the repository of every good and gracious gift, [including] the benefits of the Father in His magnificent love which has poured forth its light from the beginning and shines upon the pages of the future with a more brilliant hope than e’er flooded the pages of the past. And so in the realm and octave of cosmic history we who ourselves make it [history] are ever enamored with the continuing release of the immortal substance of God’s love, the untiring stream of His energy and the never-failing strength of His arm.
Now then when you are embodied in mortal form below, coping with situations (many of which seem beyond belief even to the human) I tell you, precious ones, that you must recognize your connection with your immortal Divine Self in order that by sustaining that momentum of cosmic love and devotion you may draw forth the required energy for each adventure which requires it--that you, precious ones, may emerge victorious in the light, not to stagger either beneath the weight of the cross of human oppression but if possible to stand stalwart and true. For the Master has spoken, saying: “Greater things than I do shall ye do because I go unto my Father.”
Precious ones, the transmutive power of the Ascended Master Saint Germain and his violet flame is able in this day and age to give you an unparalleled assistance so that you may calmly repose in the very center of God’s holy will and absorb the substance of His will into your form so that you may indeed, utilizing the momentum of beloved Jesus, do those greater things which the Law requires in order to expand the dream of God’s perfect love in manifestation here.
Now we are well aware that the continuing action of mortal concepts does cause mankind to come under the power of outer conditions whereby the soul sometimes seems to retreat from the consciousness of the individual, and a feeling of aloneness seizes mankind simply because they have not retained their conscious awareness of their Divine Presence. Therefore I say to all: when you feel in the least bit alone remember that your Divine Presence is nigh at hand--even at the door of your heart--to stimulate in you a remembrance of the days when you as living flames of sacred fire did dance within the radiance of God’s own altar, the altar of His precious Being.
O beloved ones, we are so completely aware of how mankind in all of their outer thought and cogitation have continually failed to recognize the Eternal One. I would call now to your attention that this is a great loss for them individually, per se, for so long as they do not acknowledge the power of God and the Presence of God they have cut themselves off in part from life--for God is life.
But the wisdom of man is foolishness with God. For with all their wisdom which they have achieved and have acquired down through the centuries they have not yet learned to control their feelings so that they can properly stand up before their fellowmen and find the solution to many of the problems which have in every age continued to beset mankind. Now then, precious ones, the continuing release of the immortal substance of God into your worlds assures you by the power of cosmic Law, in accordance with the grace of the ascended masters, that the release of these messages of light from higher octaves can be accomplished because of the receptivity of human hearts and because of the magnanimity of the ascended masters who desire to give you every assistance which the great cosmic Law will allow.
You do not know, precious ones, in your outer consciousness, the great depth and wisdom of the ascended ones. You need to draw very close and be enfolded in our cloak--the mantle of our light radiance. And therefore I have determined this night that by the power of God and His limitless Christ-radiance I shall enfold you with the great shepherd-consciousness of God that will lead you from within to a place where recognition can be paid to the Most High God in such a manner that you shall more closely identify yourself in your own individual state with His radiance and with His Grace and Being.
You know, precious ones, in no way does it lessen the Godhead or take from the Godhead as you draw the energy of His love into the chalice of your being. Have you thought upon that? The limitless love of God is waiting to be released and called into action! Well then, precious ones, why will you not within the forcefield of your own consciousness from within yourselves call now unto God the Father and ask for a release of that precious energy of His love? Do you think that He will deny His children the boon of this great Grace poured out to you right now? I tell you, there is no one who shall call who shall not be answered. For I AM the release of the Father’s infinite love pouring forth to you through your own Holy Christ Self the enfolding mantle of cosmic light substance that shall flood forth through you into the world to bless all mankind and to stir them that they also may rejoice in those things which are the will of God and shun and eschew those things which are the will of man to do hurt and harm, one to another.
Now, precious ones, the very state of the law itself--human jurisprudence--does reveal that mankind have not lived in peace with one another. And therefore because they have not been peaceable or easy to be entreated it has been necessary to invoke the action of human law against mankind down through the centuries. Countless codifyings have occurred whereby the law has progressively sought to make itself from day to day a greater administrator of justice to mankind. However be that as it may, still even to the present day great injustices are done in the name of justice.
And therefore I say to all: stand still and see the salvation of God! Observe the power of light. Recall then that Joshua did stretch forth his arm and did say unto the Sun “Be still!” and the Lord God did stay the Sun in the heavens according to the edict of Joshua. Realize then, precious ones, that the power of God to work through a human instrument is almost unlimited if that instrument will recall that he is a channel for God’s goodness to flow and ought himself to do no more than to recognize the absolute perfection of God and the definite power of God to make the communicative release flood forth into the hearts of mankind the requirements of that specific hour.
O precious ones, as I am coming to you this night with this message I am aware also of a certain pestilence that seeks to find inroads into a certain colony in Africa. And I call to your attention that some of the children there will suffer a very dire affliction unless a specific call is made and light is released in order to prevent these children from having this untoward condition descend upon them. I think also that your hearts of love will respond then this night to those who may dwell upon another continent than that which is beneath your feet, and you will realize that in this love and light that you will send out,the healing rays of the Cosmic Christ shall flow forth. And you will know also that I, Maitreya, am the shepherd not only of the children of God here in America but [also of the children of God] all over the world wherever the light of God shines—and there is no place where His light does not shine! Behind the Iron Curtain, behind the Bamboo Curtain, everywhere the light of God is pouring forth and flooding the hearts of the people with the great love-beat of God, saying “Come unto Me! Come unto Me! Come unto Me!”
And yet the people hearing the call do not know the meaning thereof in many cases. And they feel the tug upon their hearts. And they have been taught that there is no God; they have been taught that there is nothing except the power of the state and social structure. And they do not know from whence the voice of God speaks.
And so the walls of shadow and enclosure have fallen around them like the shades of night. And darkness is very thick, as in the days of the plagues upon Egypt when the Pharaoh received the full brunt of the invocation of Moses and Aaron. Precious ones, remember then that the power of God is the same yesterday, today and forever--and that the power of God is that life which beats your heart. Know then that the divine connection between the God within you and the God in all men is one. And therefore as you pour out the limitless radiance of your love you will expand the power of God throughout the world, and the forcefields of mankind will become blessed.
I think perhaps as you see how some of them dissipate the spiritual energy which you pour upon them (when that power of spiritual discernment is given to you so that you can) you will recognize how we feel when we pour out a tremendous radiation like the waves of an ocean to engulf the hearts of men with God’s love and then find that it is simply a temporary feeling which mankind accept for a time and then forget or forsake for other pleasures and thoughts.
Precious ones, when the student body of this activity and the mankind of Earth the planet round shall recognize the great cosmic release that is taking place at this time--the great cosmic outpouring--and will feel the surge of that cosmic power and light through their flesh forms and will let it transform their thoughts and raise them into the spiritual power of God you will find a transformation taking place upon the planet!
Did you know, precious ones, that a very great being of light stepped right through the wall here while I was speaking to you and passed right through this atmosphere? And none of you even batted an eye, precious ones! And this is the way you would express it, for you did not seem to realize it. Yet this great one came, and this Messenger saw how the doors that were closed were actually penetrated and saw the being step right through and watched how the walls closed up afterward.
You see, all manner of things can happen all around you and you do not know that they are happening. Precious ones, do you not see that the invisible, subtle substance of shadow which mankind spew forth is also most active in the world to create conditions of untoward darkness? Then recognize that the power of the light is able to take its dominion and to rule supreme forever everywhere. For the light will take dominion! The light will expand! The light will encompass mankind! And it shall come to pass that ultimately--and we hope soon--the mankind of Earth will awake from the lethargy of the senses and will come to realize in a more complete and holy manner the great gift of Life which they hold so cheaply within their hands and hearts.
Precious ones, reverence for life then ought to be expanded in all hearts, and mankind ought to know the limitless love of God. Let us pour out now as from a mighty vessel the waves of love and light [from our hearts] back to the very heart of God which He has this night released to you.
Precious ones, as you feel the mighty surge of that great God-power as it begins to well up like a bubbling spring from deep within your hearts feel how the angels of sacred fire are gathering that precious substance that is your life and also the life of God--a joint commingling of immortal substance— and are taking it up before the throne of His Grace [establishing] a direct power of contact between your lifestreams and his precious mighty Being.
You are being of very Being, you are bone of very bone, you are substance of very substance. You are children of the light and of the Holy Table Round--the table around which the Lord sits in holy communion in this age to gather from all nations those who shall be unafraid to embrace the love of the Law and the power of the wisdom of God and the power of the strength of His arm and to stand forth in this day and age and uphold His Spirit and His power and His radiance. Ladies and gentlemen, may I touch you gently with my star?—the Christ-star of illumined obedience that saith unto all: Accept the challenges of the hour! Watch with me one hour in the perfectionment of man, the manifestation. Watch with me one hour. Watch with the Christ. Watch, watch. For behold, I stand at the door and knock.
The hour is late and the midnight hour is at hand. Spiritually speaking let all on earth hear the voice of God. Let all on earth arise and trim their lamps, for the Bridegroom from on high cometh forth and knocketh upon the human heart in a manner not yet appointed. For the day of golden illumination stands, waiting revelation. And the souls of men are flooded with light from the Summit, from the Hill country, from on high, from the hearts of the ascended masters and from those who have won their victory.
You, precious ones--I say to you all--are winning your victory! Let it be done God’s way! I thank you, and I bid you in the holy name of God a radiant and splendid goodnight in the light!

“Out of the depths I have called to thee, and thou hast heard My voice.” Supplications rising from mortal lips, lisping thoughts and half-thoughts, ideas of hope and consolation, requests, come to us from those who are in search of themselves and of the initiatic process which will develop within them the realization--and realizations--of which Paul spoke this afternoon. But there are other segments of society, even the society of those whom we choose to think of as the company of saints and savants of cosmic Grace. These individuals are not satisfied with even divine comfort. They search for holy truth concerning themselves that they may know the truth and have the freedom that the truth will bring into manifestation.
We do not ignore the requests--lisping, halting and framed by minds not yet charged with the fullness of the Christ radiance. Nor do we ignore the more cogent and learned request from the devotee who has long traveled the path. The senses of values developed by mankind may vary, but our response varies. The needs of the hour are met, and every heart ought to have the calm knowing of infinite Grace that trusts in divine simplicity to ennoble the mind and enlighten the heart and show the way that will produce the greatest fruit in each lifestream according to the needs of the moment.
Much has taken place in this class--much of virtue and of value. The world need is great. The assistance of every devotee is the need of this moment. Regardless of the measure of your service or your capacity to understand there are things that you can do and services that you can render in the moment of need. When we rally to world need it is a response to millions! Can you not rally to the assistance of the few who may be beneath the scrutiny of your mortal eyes?
Can you not be lightshowers and wayshowers right where you are? Just as you trust in us so do we trust in you. And the concept of that must tonight be communicated to your hearts. It is not enough for divine Grace to flow forth to hearts that are unable to translate divine Grace into a cogent reality. Understanding must be had by men who possess but little. And if as you say it goes over their heads, dear hearts, how can they know?
They have been literally doused with the vibratory action of human error put forth in the name of religion. Their hungry hearts are not always able to discern just what is acting, and in a sense of fear they frequently hesitate to leave that which has given them some measure of comfort, desiring to clasp the hand of that which seems to be real. For they have not yet discerned the course of error and how it runs as an unfortunate thread through civilization in its long trek and search for the reality of truth.
We do not chastise, but we say to you that there is a need for a tangible contact within the precinct of individuals right where they are! There is a need for a contact point that individuals can see. And thus did the Word go forth through that blessed Christ Jesus: Ye are a city set on a hill that cannot be hid. To you there is now tossed out into the field the ball of cosmic Grace with which you must run.
Tonight it is not so much the length of my message that shall count but the content thereof which is intended to reveal that He who would bring many sons to captivity desires to use each of you according to your capacity to do. And thus while I shall not make a summation of all that has been given through this class I shall bring to your attention that you are not lacking in some element of cosmic Grace. All have qualities, both mundane and spiritual, which can be harnessed in the service of the light in this crucial year when so much depends on the level of emission of light by mankind.
The embrace by mankind of the tenets of Christhood is the only power that will deliver the world from the mounting tide of karma which daily becomes more burdensome to the elementals and cosmic beings as well. For all of us have pledged a share of our energy in the transmutation of mankind’s densities. And when it occurs that men fail to fulfill their own responsibility there is a summoning from far-off worlds of those who have said “In the hour of need I will come.” This does not provide your freedom nor the freedom of mankind, it simply sustains an activity of mercy to a planet.
If you knew the weight of divine investment in the Earth and its evolutions, if you knew the weight of the avatars and sons of God that have come forth-- yea, the weight of the crown of thorns, the weight of that travail which is the forte of the ascended masters for and on behalf of mankind....Mother Mary has caused it to be named “the sorrows of God.”
Men conceive of God as being supremely and infinitely happy, and in divine reality all this is so. But there is a part of God—a very great part of God— inherent within all life, and it is this inherent part that suffers and travails in man and master, in man and elemental, producing those pains of spiritual birth that will help to bring forth the Manchild, the Initiator of each lifestream.
To rule is well—but to rule well is more advantageous. To all of you there is given a portion of cosmic responsibility not only for the Earth but for a universe. When one day you know your freedom from this sphere and star or system of worlds you will find that that responsibility and its power are both increased.
Freedom is not license; it is freedom to be creative as God is—to show forth mercy and honor unto Him who seeks to cleanse, to purify, to ennoble,and to raise all life into His level of existence. Without purification, without transmutation, no crown would be possible. And thus as the Initiator for mankind I place the mantle, the cape of cosmic responsibility, on the shoulders of those who are in this room who are willing to receive it. [audience rises] I shall not place it upon those who are not—upon the fearful or the unbelieving—but only upon those who, believing in God even as they believe in me and as they believe in their own Holy Christ Self, will take the proffered chalice of opportunity in their hands and, resigning themselves to the wise Masterbuilder, proceed with full confidence to do their best. The Eternal Father expects no more but rewards greatly each effort, each part of man that is dedicated to the purposes of God.
May I hold you in a cosmic embrace [so] that you [may] successfully consummate God’s goals. Eternal pax vobiscum.
-Maitreya: 1-1-1967 at Colorado Springs, Colorado via Messenger Mark Prophet
