To hold the Divine picture for yourself is pleasant, for every man and woman and child instinctively can accept a Divine picture for the ego, hut to hold that Divine picture for someone else is a discipline, and this is the service I will ask you to render to life. Each of you see the rest of the world through your consciousness and your senses, and the recording is not always either pleasing to you nor comfortable; but, there is a Shining Presence, a starry-eyed God or Goddess waiting to externalize through every human form. If you cannot yet yourself hold that Concept, if you will ask me I will help you to picturize the Perfection for another. Then hold that, as I held the picture for my son against the disintegrating forces of gossip, of suggestion, and all the many constant thoughts, feelings and words that are directed by the outer consciousness toward the human race. 

If you had a sculptured piece of marble and it were constantly chipped by a sharp instrument, in the course of a week you would have a distortion. Yet that is what men and women do one to another. When something displeases, and when something is seemingly out of order, they drive their feelings into the concept which they hold, and charge it powerfully into the world of the other.

Those now who desire to hold this Immaculate Concept with me, have opportunity. We used to say, Jesus and I, many times "How blessed are the peacemakers." We had peacemakers in our small community, and we had dissenters. It is always thus, but the lifestream who covers the faults and failings of another in the Cloak of the Silence; the lifestream who endeavors to understand the motive behind seemingly unnecessary passions; the lifestream who pours oil on the troubled waters, is most truly a blessing, particularly to those who are trying to render service to the masses.

This morning (December 8) millions of men and women knelt and their songs and prayers rose to my Heart from every continent upon this terrestrial globe. It was a magnificent out­pouring. The energies that came into my use and consciousness have exceeded my own heart's fondest dreams. All of this energy I have qualified with the power to be released through the Holy Christ Self, to give that Immaculate Concept to every lifestream. It is returning now in Blue Flame into your minds, and into the minds of the great orthodox masses who call mostly for help seldom for illumination, and almost never for understanding of the way to become that which "I AM."

Beloved children, I am grateful for this opportunity, for as I speak to you I send forth this Flame and Ray to every lifestream who might choose to understand my service to life. May I say-Blessed are you who endeavor to find your Presence. Blessed are you who are strong enough to charge the Perfection of your Presence into your fellowmen. Blessed are you who desire to be peacemakers, for the world is already too filled with the dissentions which rise from discontent.

In the name of my beloved son, in my own name, and in the name of Saint Germain, I bless your families. Family life has always been my particular interest the mothers, the fathers, and the children. As I am given opportunity through the Cosmic Law, and as the Great Sponsor for 1954, the Master Morya has asked me to assist him, I shall endeavor to make family life, throughout the world, something of which to be proud; something that is a unit which gives confidence, security, strength and peace to the individuals who share it; something that makes the home a place that is eagerly sought a Grail in which the new strength is gathered, that the lifestream going forth again into the world, may be the stronger and the purer because of the sanctity of that home. The home is the Temple of the family unit. It was built to be a Grail and a Sanctuary. It was built to be a cooperative focus of concentrated power, from which every member could drink; where their bodies might lie asleep at night in perfect security and peace; where their inner selves might find stimulus to go forth again into the world of form, where each person might find the others standing behind them with a feeling of confidence and faith in their ability to perform some service for the good of the race.

The family was made as a unit to draw the Powers of the Sacred Fire and the Blessing of God, in concentrative and cooperative prayer. The family unit is not understood by even the students, as a concentrated focus, a Grail through which the gifts of God should enrich and strengthen each member. That is why your communistic doctrine is impossible, even looking at it from a socialistic standpoint, because to take great numbers of children, great numbers of grown people, and impersonally train them, is to deny them the focus of love which can be found only in a Divine and Holy Family. Oh, schools, yes, are beautiful and they will render a great service in the new age, but the Holy Family which gives the young people an opportunity to grow, to mature and to go forth, will be re-established.

Kwan Yin and myself, the Beloved Meta, and the Ladies of Heaven have determined to give this understanding to those who choose to accept it. I am hoping that you who are blessed this morning, may accept my mantle around your shoulders, hold my concept of your Perfection in your own consciousness, and choose to dedicate and consecrate your eyes to see Perfection. Where imperfection is, see only opportunity; let your lips fashion only word that bring confidence, hope and comfort, and not convey to another's mind a distorted concept of any part of life; your ears should hear the signal of the Master, his Word, and his Message and also hear the call of your fellowman. Your hands should bless, should be a grasp of friendship, a pat on the shoulder, a helping hand through which your life may make it easier for another. Your feet should be consecrated to carry your body forward to render service to life; and your whole vehicle an instrument through which God may further himself.

This is the service of consecration which we performed in the Temple every day from the time I was three years of age, when Anne and Joachim took me and left me with those who were to guide my Spiritual training until I became ready to enter the greater service with Joseph. I cannot ask that you consecrate your life, but I can hope that you will.
