Even if the body take its rest, the soul is awake. I have come to you from the beginning in vast ages of the past—all for the awakening. Watch and pray. The watchfulness is 360 degrees of the peripheral vision watching the points on the circle of Life. The porter at the gate must tend the points that are again divisible lines of penetration and guard all of these.

-Jesus Christ, Pearls of Wisdom 28:28 …………………….......................... Having taken up the commands to preach the gospel to every creature, to believe and to be baptized and to cast out devils, we come to the second sign that shall surely follow them that believe (meditate upon my Word day and night):  “They shall speak with new tongues.”

-Sanat Kumara, 22:42 ……………...........................….. Carelessness often misdirects one’s motives, for motive too requires its own molding factors.… Man in the state of becoming is an uncut and unfinished stone; the smoothening efforts required to complete the nobility of manifestation are very great, yet the heavenly grace freely given to him is sufficient to execute a noble work with both alacrity and craftsmanship….those responses that come only from brittleness of the human mind may lack the heart-qualities of comfortable flexibility, of cosmic conformity which so gently adhere to principle that the divine nature is breathed out with every breath. The15 painful32 sense17 of12 struggle37 that13 men14 establish32 all7 about14 themselves38=231 either through indifference or a sense of unworthiness often results in grey tones in the aura, a1 muddying43 of12 the15 cosmic26 stream22 (=119; 231+119=350=10 x 35) as it passes through individualized form and consciousness, and a failure to externalize cosmic patterns.  Inasmuch as the struggle of this age is very great and the crucible of life filled with poignant experiences, some enlightening and some destructive, men must seek to wend their way through time-space barriers into the eternality of God by faith in right action.… The opacity of human thought and feeling has successfully blocked this light of God that never fails from reaching individual men again and again, yet they fail to recognize it. To remove impediments is to incite progress, and there are no greater impediments in existence than those personal negative thoughts of judgment in men’s hearts which thrive on personal egoism…. Cosmic initiation looms before these young people if they will only understand that the means is not through LSD or erotic experience but through the renaissance of a spiritual culture which they once rejected in the very times of life when Enoch, the seventh from Adam, was winning his victory; when Joseph stood in the highest honor at Pharaoh’s court; when Solomon was building his temple; when Christ was walking in the corn fields; when Saint Francis was counseling his disciples; and even when Brothers of Light first began to acquaint the Western world with the teachings of the Great White Brotherhood .  As was spoken of by one of your poets:  “And they, while their companions slept, / Were toiling upward in the night.” Thus shall the thrust for a purpose go forth again, and the cosmic court be enlarged to provide new offices for millions.

-Maitreya, Pearl 10:34 …..…………………............................ Let those who thought they were of the light but whose actions are not of the light be also with those who in a moment of spiritual blindness and being blinded by their own karma are as Judas was, ambitious that I might be crowned king in the physical sense of the word and summon my armies to take over the Holy City. Well, beloved ones, that was not the divine plan. And thus Judas, who in that hour betrayed me, did reincarnate and come to the place by much sorrowing where he could fulfill the role of apostle and make his ascension. Thus I come to you and I say, the separating out of the leaves, beloved, is for a cosmic purpose. Let the nucleus of lightbearers then determine—determine at all costs to see to it that there is no further delay in the promulgation of the Teachings and in the commitment of each and every one of you who can bear that commitment by your own heart’s freewill. Come into communion. Become a communicant. Be part of my body as the living manifestation of this church and recognize the law of the tithe and practice it. This is needful, beloved. For I tell you the great teaching. There is no acceleration or advancement on any path, worldly or spiritual, without sacrifice. If sacrifice is not forthcoming, then the alchemy does not work. Therefore all of you who are successful in every level of life know what is the hardship and sacrifice of giving birth to your dream, to your visualization, to that thing which you recognize as your calling. -Jesus Christ, Pearls of Wisdom 47:48 ……………………..................................… From the fountain of peace and the fountain of hope within the tender folds of each heart the shoots of aspiration rise and pulsate toward the domain of the Sun. And the peace of the ages rests as a benediction upon those who love in hope, who understand the need to hope, who reckon with the power of hope as invocative of peace. We would not still in the noble of heart the aspirations for peace nor would we stifle a glaring realism that at the current hour is seen as an undercurrent and undertow threatening to plunge the world into a wretched condition where leftist uprisings hither and yon throughout the world will give the world tremendous problems to handle for many a year to come. The Hierarchy, who seek so much to apply the balm of Christ- peace as unguent to individual hearts, long to apply it to the great heart of the World Mother. For she is torn again and again by the strangeness that sets brother against brother, that sets hope against hope and denies the world the vibratory action of serenity. How can a pool disturbed constantly by turbulence reflect the universal image of Christ, of Buddha, of unfolding divinity? The choppiness of the waters reveals a broken image, blighted hopes and querulous times. We seek then in great delight of heart in the midst of troubled times to provide a renewing of man’s interest in those peace-producing conditions which will enable each one to take the hand of another with elements of universal sincerity. There29 is10 a1 touch22 of12 revulsion45 in14 a1 hand18 extended36 in14 hypocrisy57. And as I ponder the number who have sought my domain in India, those who have probed the mysteries of Gobi, those who have sought to understand for purposes of self-aggrandizement I plead with the Lords of Karma to hasten the day when the sincere may find their way to our abode—if not in physical dimension, then in the spirit of Buddhic peace. There is a mystery involved that the world seems not to commonly know yet that is so easily discovered—concerning the use of the word Buddha: “Nip it in the bud.” But you cannot if God wills it not, if the soul wills it not. If the soul aspires to peace, if the soul aspires to reality, you cannot nip it in the bud. For the bud will become the divine man, the buddhic manifestation. And so the simple thought of Buddhahood is one of enfoldment of each soul by the lotus of spiritual characteristics and qualities corollary to the central passions that aspire to divine manifestation. The soul yearns to express the divine. The soul yearns to see the crystal in the fire mist. The soul yearns to see the droppings of pure truth, angelic colorings, glorious feelings of a passion for divinity. The careless, those whose hearts are surfeited by much words, are caught up in them as in a napkin, and the talents which they ought to be using to endow the world with richness of divinity coming through the doorway of Self are buried in the napkin. And man’s search for reality grows dim, for he sees in many words a sea of troubles and confusing idioms. The ascended masters and Hierarchy long to bestow the serenity of peaceful knowing upon the souls of men. They do not comprehend this knowing of reality. They do not comprehend because they do not see behind the cage of words. They do not understand. And the reason they do not understand is because the intelligence—the intelling of divinity within themselves—has been corroded by an idea of accumulation. They feel that they have acquired so much knowledge. It is almost basically encyclopedic. And because they are able to spout forth their tomes of weighty knowledge and know all things—when we come to them there is danger that they will be swept down in the undercurrents of their own karmic outer self, karmic in the sense that they will feel that we are beneath their intelligence.
