Being in the Here and Now

July 10, 1984

I come to you this day in an arc of Light from the Temple of Understanding. I see before me a Jewel of Light in Consciousness.

As I approach this area of the planet from the upper atmosphere, I can see a tremendous forcefield building. It is being fed from the great retreats in this area as well as through your evolving lifestreams, for truly is there an understanding building within your collective consciousness, of the Great I AM. I look out into this sea of consciousness and I see the sparkling jewels of your individual light, the light from your own Christ Flame, illuminating your auras and your consciousness. And there are more lotus flowers opening upon the top of the head in this collective consciousness than you might be aware of. We work with this crown chakra in the Temple of Understanding and it is my purpose this day to facilitate greater understanding, through illumination.

From a certain perspective, there is only one entrance into I AM Consciousness, and that is the HERE and NOW, which we have called in the past "the Eternal Moment of Now". You have developed a wonderful acquaintance with I AM consciousness. You have opened the door and often you step through, but it is only in remaining in the HERE and in the NOW that it shall become permanent. There is a strong tendency in the human consciousness to think of the future. Such as... SOME DAY I will enter Christ Consciousness permanently. SOME DAY I, too, will dwell in I AM Consciousness. SOME DAY there will be a permanent era of Spiritual Freedom on this planet. Dear ones, I stand before you in that reality NOW... HERE! You know the reason that conferences are so dear to the hearts of the Spiritual Hierarchy is not only that you generate great forces of Light for the benefaction of the race, but also you create for yourselves the collective consciousness of Spiritual Freedom and the reality of I AM among you HERE and NOW, growing stronger through time. Here among you, the Ascended Master radiation, the perfection of the Elemental Kingdom, the blessings of Helios and Vesta, are HERE and NOW.

It is not so much through effort of will power, but rather through the gentle path of understanding that you can remain in the HERE and NOW of I AM. Every great moment, of any variety, whether scientific, political or spiritual, has always been started by those who could create a different reality in the HERE and NOW. What they were seeking for all, we present for them NOW, even though the consciousness around them found it unbelievable. Take, for example, a scientific endeavor of putting a man on the moon. Before it happened man would not believe it possible, and yet those scientists had an understanding of the forces involved, and once the understanding was received, the reality was before them. It was created with that understanding. You are the scientists of Divine Alchemy and understanding the powers of the Seventh Ray, you can be like those scientists and create a reality of Spiritual Freedom. And in the peace of that understanding of forces involved, in the face of all doubt and fear around you, IT SHALL BE MADE MANIFEST!

Live, dear ones, in the HERE and NOW with the Powers of the Seventh Ray. I speak to you on what your heart already knows. It is the tendency of your human failing to tug upon you that is my concern. Let me assist you further in understanding the power of the Christ Flame that you might live within it permanently in the HERE and NOW. Realize that through you, there is a greater LOVE in action than yourself. There is a greater POWER in action than yourself. There is a greater WISDOM in action than yourself. In that KNOWING, there is greater peace. You have already supplied the faith. There are few others of the human race to whom we can present ourselves, who have the faith in the Christ Flame that you do. Now, understand it and apply it, as the scientists do ... There is a greater LOVE than myself in action here. There is a greater POWER than myself in action here. And in the blending of those two shall come your WISDOM. Imagine for a moment the brothers of Divine Alchemy who serve in Zadkiel's Temple, who teach the chelas of beloved Saint Germain the Science of Divine Alchemy. They work with the force of Love. They work with the force of Power. They mix and combine these two in perfect balance according to the need of the moment. As has been said to you already, the Seventh Ray proceeds forward with all it's blessings for humankind, when there are chelas embodied who can achieve the perfect balance between Love and Power... the centripetal and centrifugal forces.

You have all journeyed to Zadkiel's Temple during this week, and there I AM as a force of understanding the invocation of Love and the invocation of Power, until in your day to day lives, you can stand forth in the Christ Flame.

And understanding the forces in action, you might say  ... “Here there is a greater LOVE than myself in action. Here there is a greater POWER than myself in action. Here there is DIVINE WISDOM in action. Here, I AM Present... NOW!"

So, dear ones, I bless you with the peace that comes with understanding. We of the Spiritual Hierarchy love you so deeply and so profoundly for giving us such Jewels of Consciousness to work with in our efforts to advance the human race.
