Melchizedek

James the Greater, holding the 6 o'clock line of the 12 apostles, wrote that "Man is double-minded in all

ways." So much so that hypocrisy is not hard for this evolution on this world. In fact it becomes in some circles an art-form. It counts to 57 numerologically, while double-minded counts to 54. The compound fracture is more subtle to treat than the simple fracture. To say there is an entrenched group at the helm is different from saying there is a present aberrant situation that misguides. The key is the anchorpoint: what is the motivation, the plan as it were behind the event? So we do have surface and a more comprehensive viewpoint; duality up to a point is quite valid until, mark you, one gets so carried away with it that the duality runs the individual and he may not even be aware of this or be so convinced that the truth becomes rather irrelevant to his pursuit, his presumption that might look very appealing somehow. These subtle elements in life catch us so often that the mayic veil works ike a net to capture most all the fishes in the area. Few find some way to escape the net. It is an amazing process, the one we call life at this level. So to resolve a ssplit country such as what Lincoln found himself amid for a number of decades, he pondered the pattern of how we tend to weave the mayic web ourselves or at least we tend to go along with it as if it is truth, whereas it may not be inherently so. Philosophers or math/geometry --these are specialty areas where harder paradoxes can be wrestled with in a helpful framework; even so mistakes creep in and get repeated to the degree that Leonardo da Vinci had to write in his personal notebook in his simple code that "It (the Sun) doesn't move." That is, he didn't know whether it rotated or not on its axis but he was quite sure that the prevailing accepted notion concerning the spatial arrangement of this solar system was not too brilliant, though it had become entrenched among some. I think Julius Caesar in Shakespeare's play conceived and spoke the line about himself being quite like the north star, Polaris, things turning around himself. A local point of view but it can become an entrenched dogma where "Hail, Spiritual Director!" is a dogma, a kind of necessary password. We are a bit too clever, then, a bit too persistent in double-mindedness, contradictions that in the longer run only make things worse because we adhere too closely or in too much of a letter of the law way to certain things that might well have a temporary or even from some angle appropriate local meaning yet perhaps little longterm validity. -r., siskiyou county, ca ............... Yes, beloved, do you think that the ascended masters who have won their victory and who have increased their causal bodies are willing to have that dissipated giving grants here and there to those who are here today, fair-weather friends, and then gone tomorrow? Beloved ones, the constancy of the faithful will build a new world. The inconstancy will leave them as double-minded and divided, those who then entertain that divided state. -Elohim Arcturus and Victoria, Pearl 46:22, via Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on April 3, 1996 at RTR, Montana. ..........................

Beloved One— The golden aurora of the dawn, the sweet-throated bird notes, the quiet stillness, the traceries of silhouetted trees, shrubs and myriad shadow-shapes stand out from the coming light—yet brooding over all in quiet majesty is a serene sense of the love God intended expressed through nature. Gazing on this momentary beauty, sacred, hushed and awe-inspiring—the clash of ringing swordplay, the pain of mental cruelty, the struggle for power and human glory seems afar off. Yet on this rolling world of form, sand, sea, sky and man, destined to be a home of love, a struggle is going on. The age of iron, brass, steel and electricity pales into insignificance beside this Armageddon-like conflict—this struggle between the positive, constructive power of love and the negative, foreboding, beclouded action of human fears. Control—psychological, hypnotic, psychic, astral—is sought by the ignorant and learned alike—who warped in their views, pragmatic only in imitation of their contemporaries who are spiritually ignorant, seek by and through fear21, threat27 and10 intimidation 65 (=128=4 x a cold war32) to have controlling power over the minds and worlds of men and of one another. Fear is a powerful weapon. It presupposes loss of something good. In the hands of both psychologically wise people and in the hands of primitively ignorant ones, it successfully wages a cold and sometimes hot war of terror and intimidation where individual liberties are at stake. It does not hesitate to fashion the lie—neither does it hesitate to upset those who are not strongly rooted—even to the destruction of their own soul-labors of lifetime good. It does not heed the pull of cosmic justice—and ruthlessly seeks to destroy. When beloved Jesus, my predecessor as Chohan of the Sixth Ray, stood in Pilate’s hall of judgment, it called to the raging mob to decide whom they would prefer—Christ or the murderer, Barrabas. Yet Pilate had just declared, symbolizing the justice of that day—“I find no fault in this man!” Such is the sometimes pious, sometimes diabolical religious frenzy of humanity when they are not rooted in the rudiments of cosmic love—the fullness of cosmic grace! Although the inward, impartially acting Law of Love is written by the finger of God upon the pure screen of each man’s heart, yet it is often clouded over with human fear and duress and a network of discordant crosscurrents which create a state of temporary confusion in the mind, making for double-mindedness or human instability. Dominion is the Law of Love and Freedom. It is God-given. It seeks not to destroy but to heal, not to hate but to love. Liberty then thrives where attention is paid to justice and love and where fear is driven out! One of the early American patriots, Patrick Henry, epitomized this truth in his immortal words which played so important a part in the early American struggle for freedom: “Give me liberty or give me death!” Yes, dear hearts, the death of love in life is a greater loss than mere physical death from whence there is hope of either a resurrection or a new embodiment. When love appears to die in the human consciousness it is in reality a cloaking of its power with fear and negativism. This was the case on Golgotha. When the very sky was dark for hours the Sun was then still shining, but human fear had by mass control temporarily obscured the light of the Christ, the light of the Sun of God so that the place of the skull (Golgotha) was a place of human desolation indeed! The only reality of all eternity is God. The manifold religions of the world have through the declarations of their many leaders constantly affirmed this through centuries. Countless lives have risen from obscurity and even infamy to become world leaders, saints and great lights. Yet masses of people, as much a part of the caravan of God as these seeming exceptions to human law, have continued to seek not to save their own life until death did then separate them eventually, one and all, from the screen of life--with the rare exception of ascended beings whose attention to the exaltation of their own God Presence I AM caused them to follow the pillar of fire of that Presence through the long night of human consciousness until they found the Last Rose of Summer, the Lily of the Valley, the Divine Aurora, the Light never found on land or sea—the shining reality of God! By contrast to human struggle toward its own precious divinity the spoilers, the careless, the drifters, the idle, the pleasure bound, the skeptics have continued in the pain of a mad round of fear. It must someday end. And end it will! I, Nada, Chohan of the Sixth Ray declare today in God’s name I AM: the fear of man no longer has any power for those who will put on radiant garments of light (and I saw a Woman Clothed with the Sun—Rev. 12:1). The creation must put off vestments of fear and put on light. And inasmuch as love is light and light is love, then let love triumph over fear! Let all tyranny tremble before the precipitated power from on high, the God-power almighty to give liberty, freedom and blessing to every lifestream who will put their hands, their minds and their hearts to the plow to serve the cause of the Brotherhood of Light and unite mankind by plowing that straight furrow that prepares the land for seedtime, harvest and the victory age for our dear Earth! When physically embodied many years ago I served unknown to mankind to put others first. My family (some of whom became worldly famous because of my help) knew not my position or spiritual attainment. I gave fame to them rather than seek to receive it myself, and I AM today the Chohan of the Ray of Ministration and Peace, seeking to bestow upon people of both West and East a sense of the power of love to heal the grossest of human hurt and to give peace to those who are most cruelly disturbed. The religions of the world must by individual determination in the hearts of their members yield their sovereignty manifest in separate designation to a supreme sense of union and unity wherein the standard of morality and right use of heaven’s gifts through the power of love become like one mighty pillar of witness to which all alike pay tribute. Accent must not be placed on conflict of differences but upon the common ground of freedom under God to seek for peace in both work and worship, to seek for an end of world and personal conflict and to do socially, economically, materially and spiritually the necessary things that will speedily accelerate and produce at least a relative degree of heaven’s will for perfection upon Earth here and now, and before it is too late! The ascended masters’ love for Earth is very real, but let me tell you, beloved ones, the forces of shadow—the astral, psychic and misqualified mass-mind of the world which functioned so ignorantly in Pilate’s hall and on Good Friday have relentlessly sought to the present day the destruction of every good and constructive organization which we have ever sponsored. Nor for the causes that the individuals who were their tools thought--for they were simply deceived into believing a lie about the representatives of the Light-- but solely to do the bidding of the sinister ones who prefer shadow and pain to light and joy to the world! When Theosophy, Christian Science, Rosicrucianism, New Thought and a host of other activities of the new age came forth every destructive move possible was made against them, boring from within and without to confuse and destroy. The original founders of the I AM Movement, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Ballard, were likewise vilified, tried before the outer-world courts and eventually of course exonerated. Let me remind however that Jesus was so treated also. This force of unrest moves constantly to attempt the disturbance of our channels of valid communication before light can gain a foothold over darkness. It does not want you to have your freedom. It moves now against the Summit Lighthouse, its staff and its Messenger. One who but a short time ago professed undying love and adoration for the activity and its Messenger—who followed him from city to city recording the ascended masters’ addresses on tape—has unknowingly become a tool of the sinister force. She has employed an attorney and is commencing action against this organization for the recovery of a freewill love gift which originally she gave to further the work. She now seeks to drag before the courts if necessary those who are innocent of any harm and to discredit before men this activity. The Darjeeling Council in emergency session because of this unconscionable act and the equally thoughtless act of one other who formerly sought to serve as a legal representative of the activity, has decided in the name of Almighty God to advise our readers, friends and constructive people of the world of this fact—because this time we do not intend to submit to human nonsense! This is but a human tempest in a human teapot. Let these betrayers beware and call upon the Law of Forgiveness before it is too late! Abel had Cain, Jesus had Iscariot and every age seems to produce this folly whose purpose is only anti-Christ in character. As the forces of freedom marched at the famous Boston tea party, so I am sure the patriots of God everywhere will decree daily to stop this or any other foolishness which should ever arise against this wholly constructive activity or its leaders and will, by their continuing loyalty and support to the unfailing light of God, realize more and more the need for love to triumph over fear in all areas of life! God’s kingdom shall manifest here someday, blessed ones, and you have in this very embodiment a real opportunity to make it come just that much closer in the face of all human distress. Rally then to the eternal cause of love alone. It is never in vain, and someday all must know what it means to suffer for the kingdom of God’s sake. But I think those who are still bound in fear have a lesser part by far than those who temporarily suffer that they may find peace and everlasting life and love. O cup of light from the universal I AM Presence, fill me now to overflowing with the dynamism of God’s love which triumphs over all shadow and human fear to unite the sundered world in such God-unity as overcomes forever and for all, turning all discord into peace!
