Lord Maitreya Speaks
Excerpts from an address
September 27, 1954
My dearly beloved children,
I love you! Feel the pressure, the sincerity and the depth of my love. I have followed the course of your evolution from the instant when you were first breathed out of the bosom of your own God Parents as shining beings, through the sad day when you personally chose to create the shadows in which you now find yourselves. I shall follow you back into the realization of your own Godhood; until you stand again triumphant, magnificent, free and master over God energy, which is yours to employ. Thus living for love through faith, you use that love to expand the borders of God's Kingdom, fulfill the individual destinies of your own lives and make the universe to which you belong a sweeter, a more magnificent and glorious place.
So many universes are represented on earth today. Guests from so many solar systems are serving here. Looking at you, I remember the glory you knew in the beginning, before the world was. Anticipating the glory you shall know while the world yet is, my heart is filled with gratitude to life for the opportunity of being part of your development. I am grateful to be able to contribute the energies of my life to wrap you round in love; love in which there is no self seeking; love in which there is only the desire to breath upon your divine pattern and your heart flame with such intensity of faith and pressure of confidence that that pattern and heart flame, rushing forward to meet me, manifests full God dignity and full God mastery. Then each of you becomes again Princes and Princesses of the Sacred Fire-angels, devas, and God beings. Abiding yet on Freedom's Star, because your love for those who choose to develop on this star is so great, your sojourn here should be one of happiness; your service one of individual freedom in remembrance of your divine identity. In the conscious invocation of your powers; in the largesse of the distribution of the gifts of your own precipitating Presence to those of humankind and the elemental kingdom who seek a savior; seek teachers; seek lifestreams to show them the way back 'home', you shall serve us in personal freedom!
Ah, my children, blessed indeed are those of you whose hearts have signified an interest in becoming wayshowers to the children of earth. Blessed is the light that is glimmering through the folds of your Individual soul self; that motivating power which impels your forward and which has kept your feet upon the pathway of light thus far, despite the pressures of your individual human creation.
In the Spiritual Hierarchy, I presently hold the Office of World Teacher. This office is held, beloved ones, for approximately fourteen thousand years by one God intelligence and then a succeeding intelligence accepts the office as the preceding World Teachers avails himself of the endeavors to promote God's Will throughout the universe. During a fourteen thousand year cycle, a World Teacher has seven major opportunities to develop a spiritual education and religion within seven two thousand year cycles, which will bless the humankind evolving on the planet. The World Teacher, working with the chohan of each cycle who is the channel through which the activity, radiation and world religion will flow, endeavors to develop a dual release of blessings which will stimulate the particular spiritual centers successively nourished by each one of the seven rays during this cycle of fourteen thousand years.
The dual activity developed by the World Teacher and the acting chohan draws radiation which nourishes the soul light within the hearts of the people and encourages the release of the spiritual self which, in time, transmutes the soul and develops a system of spiritual education and knowledge. Through these, the conscious mind of the people may be raised to cooperate with the spiritual movement of the current cosmic cycle.
No great teacher, no great example to the planet earth or any other planet of our system, has ever been successful who has not employed the dual activity of stimulating both the thought and feeling centers of the race. The activity of developing the conscious mind by understanding the spiritual laws increases the cooperation and the obedience of the students with whom you work. When they are aware of the reason for the activities in which their lives are engaged, they put a much happier and more constructive radiation of feeling into the performance of the spiritual ritual. However, when the knowledge is not coupled with a conscious radiation of love and an invocation of spiritual grace from the God beings who are free, to develop the seeds of knowledge and to expand the spiritual nature in the feeling world, the religion has failed to fulfill its purpose.
You who are to be the teachers of this age; to represent the Master Saint Germain; to be the shepherds of the race, must develop dexterity of thought and control of feeling, coupling the most eloquent presentation of the law with a spiritual application which stirs the heart centers and the spiritual centers within the soul. Otherwise, your teachings will not render the service which your heart desires. In like manner, those who are tremendously devotional and are able to invoke tremendous stirrings of the emotional nature, where the mental body is not in control, those fail to perform the full service of a teacher by coupling the two activities.
I have brought with me into the atmosphere of earth today the great Elohim Cassiopeia whose concentrated power of illumination is the capacity to hold within the mind the divine design and pattern which you wish to present in your class instruction. I have also brought the mighty Archangel Jophiel whose radiation of the feeling of illumination stirs spiritual aspirations and entourages the up-reaching of the emotional body toward the Godhead. As you can accept that dual activity of the nourishment of both the mental and feeling consciousness, you will better comprehend the particular qualities which you should develop in yourselves through your desires to teach the people of earth in the days and years that are to come.
Need to Prepare for the Future
You are not here by happenstance, beloved ones, and we have not come from cosmic heights to speak to a handful of human beings just for your own individual unfoldment. We are endeavoring to consciously train individuals who have volunteered to expose themselves to the radiation of the masters, in order that they, in turn, may become 'fire-brands' and carry the light of truth and illumination the length and breadth of every land. At this time you do not see the opportunities that will arise in the day that are yet ahead of you. You do not yet know of the great numbers of people who will, from time to time, place you in a position where you will need to avail yourselves of the knowledge and radiation received in these quiet and blissful hours. I say, prepare you well for that day! Those who are presently within the radiation of the masters, sitting at our feet; those to whom we have turned our specific radiations; to whom we have spoken our words; those will be called upon! In times to come you will remember my words...
Remember always that when you are dealing with a great number of confused individuals who are emotionally disturbed, before you attempt to reach their minds, first call to the great Archangel Jophiel to quiet the feelings, visualizing his golden flame and ray blazing up and around them. Make the application on the feeling world preceding your endeavor to reach the reasoning faculties. This will assist you in blanketing the disturbed energy that is rampant, in an outpouring of peace. Then, as you speak with authority and present the law, which when applied brings the protection, the supply, the peace of mind required in an emergency, it will anchor into the consciousness and bear fruit.
I am speaking to you with a purpose. You cannot reach the mind of a man whose feelings are in violent agitation. Practice in your group work by consciously making that application for the development of peace in the feelings of your students, before you attempt to inspire them by your words and you will see the difference in the quality of the energy that you will release in your decrees, songs and application.
We who speak to humankind from the ascended master realms always come into a room long before we are privileged to address you. We use this opportunity to bathe the group in the radiation of our love; in the peace of our feelings; in the quieting of the vibratory action of each individual in order to insure the best reception of our instruction by the vacillating outer mind.
