1) True it is that they do experience temporary satisfactions in fulfilling their physical and mental wants, but these wants often prove to be perpetual like a bottomless pit which is never filled, leaving that one dependent on the social and economic elements for their bubbles of happiness and never bringing the mighty triumph of victory which comes to all who are dependent on the Mighty I AM Presence for their momentary and daily happiness. -God Harmony: Pearls of Wisdom 3:9
……………………………………………………………………....................…
2) The bubbles of human vanities are easily shattered even when men desire to sustain them, yet the “pipes of habit” continue to blow what appears an endless stream of bubbles of hypnotic fascination and distraction which turns human attention away from the light that is its sustainer and source, and keeps a running fever of excitement raging rampant through the strata of human mind and consciousness. When the desire to outpicture Christ consciousness in character is solidified so as to become a firm resolve or determination, all goes well while contemplating the idea, but when the tests of that character are met as the individual’s consciousness meets in a head-on clash with other lifestreams and personalities there is usually a strong pull to revert to more primitive thoughts and feelings.
3) I seek to convey tonight can come about as if by magic, as individuals begin to feel and know that they are the victory of Life and not a reflection of human thought and consciousness. Feeling must be subdued by light, for feeling is often seething emotion like a bubbling pot that somehow or other does not accomplish the purpose for which it was set to bubble. Therefore I say to all of you, be still and be at peace. Be still and know that I AM God. Be still and know that thou art God. Be still and know that thou art God-victory.
4) While the mysteries of Christ have been contemplated by many, only the few have penetrated the depth of the wonders of his certain knowledge, his inestimable outreach, his power of ineffable light, calculated to part the veils of illusion and reveal the infinite capacity of God to externalize, not only in the natural order but also in the spiritual order, a kingdom without end.
The more men meditate upon the Christ and upon spiritual things which buoy up the heart above restless tides of human thought the more intense will become the light around them and the farther they will see into the internal mysteries of Being. To relate the life of the Christ to the self is the Father’s intent, for thereby the mighty molding board of the Spirit through His grace may sculpt the living soul into the fashion of the divine plan.
The life-force in man must be governed not just by reason and desire but by the pure potential of be-ness, the mysterious comprehension of the light by itself. If the fingers of the Law of God discover anomalies in the life pattern of an individual and the result be a chastening, it is always for the purpose of greater spiritual fruit and a more abundant life to the one whom God has desired to try. To know God is to be known of Him, and the rule of order by Law establishes in all dimensions a steadfast rise in the comprehension levels of spiritual grace.
When grace is understood it is perceived as the God-race--G standing for “God” and r-a-c-e for “race,” hence grace or “great race.” It is a race in the sense that it is a contest”between the philosophies of men for the winning of “the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” even as it is the swift acceptance by sons of God of the heavenly patterns for establishment of the divine kingdom upon earth.
Men may say “I am a citizen--I am a native--I am a recipient of the power of a great nation.” But when the desire for unity is stripped of all spirit of competition there can be only a cosmic plan, a cosmic dream, the thoughts of the Infinite One. The lesser images fade into obscurity or to the background, so great is the revelation of the pure intent of the Father.
Men must seek to raise themselves before they can come to the point of transfiguration. To raise the self is to bring it to a point where the power of the light can penetrate the substance of their own world not only by their request but also by their invocation. Examine the word raise. The first two letters refer to the power of the Son of God, the power of light itself, the power of Ra (see the Egyptian word Ra, from whence comes the word ray). Then take note that the I (Eye) or lumen, the organ of vision or the ego of being, is the third letter in the word. This is followed by se (see). The full meaning of the word then becomes, in all of its glory, “the light of God I see,” or “raise,” which is synonymous with rays, denoting the extension of the power of the Sun from its center out into the field of darkness. As it was stated by John the Beloved, “The light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”
The purpose of our work in this day and age is to see to it that men do comprehend the light and that they walk upon the path of faith. The meaning of raising the self then is to bring the self to a place where it is capable of discerning the light. When the light is discerned it cannot help but reveal the shadows that exist in the lower self.
Whereas some men have said to themselves before the light shone in the darkness of being “we are very good,” after they have perceived by the power of the light the conditions they were in they were ready to cry to the mountains “Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne.” Yet punishment or estrangement is never the divine intent, for there is nothing hidden that shall not be revealed, and His mercy endureth forever.
By the power of truth the exposure of the darkness of the self takes place and then mankind is able to bring the darkness to the light in order that the light can transmute and redeem that darkness. We deem this the process of the resurrection. It is a resurging of the uprightness that is now and always has been within man--within the Spirit of man.
“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the Law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.”
The hour has come when devotees of the Laws of God upon earth can no longer afford those indulgences which in the past have been so lightly taken for granted. If the initiatic process is to be externalized in a lifetime, it must be recognized that each day is precious. Therefore the ritual of the resurrection signifies the raising up out of the darkness all of the shadowed substance that has been superimposed upon man, to bring it to the light, and to transmute or change its nature into the nature of the light.
This is the emergence of the Corpus Christi, the body of Christ, out of the tomb of materiality. It is the rolling away of the stone of matter which signifies the calcination of the carnal mind with all of its densities. It is the purification of the countenance, the refusal of the soul to be enslaved by the legions and tribunals of Caesar or power of the Sanhedrin.
This denotes that the soul must be freed from all banal influences of either church or state, for both church and state have come under the influence of nefarious powers from time to time which have made them instruments of a diabolical sort, even as they have been instruments of great good; hence, the soul can no longer afford to brook the tyranny of family, friends or outer conditions of temporal power in any of its forms. This does not mean that men should not be subject to the laws of the land or that they should fail to recognize legally constituted authority. However it does mean that they should recognize the superiority of the heavenly intelligences and not permit the tyranny of mortality to put a yoke around their necks, denying their God-freedom.
By releasing their light into manifestation through the presence of God which dwells in man as the Holy Christ-flame within the heart they rise from the dead of corporeal substance, of the paper world of illusion that has far too long held man in bondage. The tangible reality of the radiant living Christ blazes through them because they have willingly and lovingly invoked it through their consciousness and through their flesh forms. They are able then to summon by the power of the spoken Word the mighty angels who assist each emerging Son to “roll away the stone” and to come forth from the tomb--victorious.
In addition to this they stand at the portal of transfiguration and are ready for the second initiation into the reality of be-ness. That which is within man, that which is the active--Divine Principle, the Spirit, the Animus, the Divine Ruach--all in complete harmony, will prevail and man will ultimately reestablish his relationships with God and humanity from the viewpoint of the initiatic level.
There is a difference between the natural man and spiritual man. This was clearly demonstrated in the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. His outpicturing of his transcendental ministry was ordained by the grace of the Eternal Father through my hand, and I stand ready to assist all who would experience the beauty of the Resurrection Spirit in their lives this year. Each individual can come to a point of conscious knowing of the wonder of the light and none will ever regret it, as they have often regretted mortal passions.
Now then let us go and see the place where the Lord lay. Within yourself envision the threefold flame of Life and God-intelligence, sealing you in His grace daily. I AM your mentor in Christ,
5) In an age when innocence seems to have flown out the window the archangels reaffirm the covenant of transmutation that was made of old to restore innocence and virtue to their rightful place, to uphold in the eyes of children of joyful expectancy the miracle vision that is not a mere bauble or bubble but a cosmic epic, glowing and expanding through the cycle of the years. Suffering no neglect by mankind to mar its supreme purpose, this covenant bestows in the sanctuary of soul-realization the comfort of God’s concern for His creation.
6) You are the Lord’s and the fullness thereof!
Your forms, your minds--
All that constitutes you belongs to Him,
And all that constitutes Him belongs to you.
And this is the joyous fountain of all.
This is reality!
It will not keep you small
But enlargen the borders,
The hemispheres of your identity.
And first there will be a little bubble
That will appear upon the screen of self.
And this little bubble
Will be no bigger than your head.
And then it will expand and be
Twice as big instead--
And then again, and lo, behold, the giant leap!
It keeps on and keeps on,
And it keeps you keeping on!
For you are expanding into an infinite pattern;
And were it a finite pattern
You would have to come to a place
Where you would say: all is fulfilled. -Maitreya: 7-2-1969 at Colorado Springs via Messenger Mark Prophet, Pearl 27:19

7) The quickening power of the Spirit is ever at hand to give mankind the inspiration for which their hearts cry out. But there are always those individuals who are clothed with garments of hypocrisy and who stand forth in the marketplaces of life to convey to man the false teachings which are actually the emptiness of their own souls. These individuals mouth strange platitudes and creations of human thought which never satisfy the hungry of heart who would have only the marvelous God-activity of the Divine Presence revealed to them. These hungry of heart are not satisfied by the food that is fed unto swine….Let me say to you that there is a great opportunity for individuals to realize the reality of God simply by meditating upon the things that are in heaven, the things that are manifest in the higher consciousness. You must bear in mind that these things, which you are not always able to conceive of, are already conceived of by the mind of God and therefore have a real and permanent existence. These are not things or qualities that you need to imagine or conceive of. They already exist, and their potency simply needs to be contacted by the individual….
We do not so much object to the pulsations of fire holding the manifest attentions of men because we know that fire with its multitude of pulsations has a quality of relaxation that conveys to the consciousness. Through this quality of relaxation the consciousness, as it comes to a point where it can let go of itself, will finally do so. And in that moment of sweet surrender [one’s human] individuality no longer means any more than a bubble upon the ocean. And man suddenly realizes he must let go of that bubble, for it will burst as the pressures of the ocean come in contact with it.
8) It is easy, precious ones of the light, to criticize but it is even easier to hold the principle of the abundant life in your consciousness. It is easier to enhance the meaning of life for others than it is to rob them of their virtue by a constant damning (condemn-ation) of their attitudes and spiritual processes which they have evolved. Be it so that they are surrounded with error; the purpose of life in the evolutionary stream is the shedding of error and mastering of perfection. If you force the issue you may break the slender thread that is leading them on to the very truths you would have them accept in your time instead of in God’s time. Man did not come into manifestation in order to lose his life, but he came to gain all of God-good.
9) Vision is the key. It ordains the reality of Self. Man lives no longer according to the concepts of a given epoch in time. Yet he is able to capture a vision of time as though it were a bubble floating in the mystic sea of being. The bubble moves onward, but he is neither the bubble nor the sea.
10) Witness to the fire! Be what you talk about or be silent until you can be what you are talking about. Too many voices, too many stories, too much intellectual prattle--better to be silent in the flame and to approach the fringe of cosmic consciousness than to be lost in perpetual emotions, the bubbling, foam, vapor of idle conversation, rationalizations, doubts and fears that spawn a doctrine not of light, not of the Christ.
11) Come with me, for I would take you by the hand and show you the way of evolution whereby you might pass through the rapids of life, pollutions of the stream and yet realize the Law of the One--the one drop of consciousness a sufficiency unto the self, a wholeness, a law unchallenged, ineffable and yet capable of that compromise, that reflection of darkness and old night. Think of the choices that the drop of water can make, taking on any and all vibrations of Earth. And yet the choice to remain all-one is yet the elective of the soul.
See then how Mother, symbolized by the totality of water, contains within Herself every awareness of every child of the Most High. See how Mother moves in the body, in mind, in the soul of every child taking on the sorrow, even the sin and dying consciousness, to be renewed and restored and resurrected by that Holy Spirit which I AM. See then that that movement as a study and a mastery can give you the key to the delicate inflections of the Law which you must, which you can experience and yet experience with non-attachment, without the coloration of the soul even if the aura be tinged by its environment.
Move then through the stream of life but be independent of the stream. Cater to the molecules of the stream, and let your soul bend to meet the need of each measure of its flow. But always reserve the whitefire core, sacred fire of Holy Spirit that is the inner identity--never lost, never born, never dying, but always becoming more and more of that Self that I AM.
12) This teaching on the selling and giving to the poor and on the selling and purchase of the pearl of great price go hand-in-hand with the Buddhic path of non-attachment. Following the Guru and path means that all that one has, as the bubble of the aura, now joins the bubbles of auras of the hundreds and thousands, making one great bubble of light, one great canopy for the poor in spirit.
13) This year has seen immense victory for this activity. Some have leapt into the sacred fire to find therein an acceleration, a self-transcendence. Inner attainment is not a badge or a visible sign. Nor is it noted by intellectual prowess or emotional bubbling over. It is not easy to tell one chela to the next who has the inner light, who has seen his star.
