Address of
BELOVED VESTA
July 17, 1951
I Am the embodiment of the Power of Invocation by which
universal life and light begin an active expression of usefulness.
Life is the Servant of Flame, as light is the natural radiation of life. Without
any intelligent director, life would remain forever unformed and quiescent.
Within life, the Godhead has placed every power, attribute, capacity and virtue
which is His.
Man must learn of its Presence and how to
draw forth its fullness!
He must become VESTED with the power of
creation. Love of life and a desire to understand its nature precede my service
to the evolving soul. I then INVEST them with the knowledge of life's
potentialities and their capacity to unfold and draw forth from life the
fullness that God has incorporated into this ever-present, intelligent, vital
substance. My activity is to draw forth, mold and externalize this potential
perfection through my pupils.
The activity of the Vestal Virgins has been little understood.
They were God egos who volunteered at certain
periods of Earth's development, to take incarnation and, through devotion to the
Sacred Fire, vitalize definite Causes dedicated to further the evolution of the
race. This concentrated Presence of the Sacred Fire, drawn Earthward and
sustained by the guarding lifestreams of the Virgins, was the sustaining power
of these movements - civic, religious, artistic, educational, cultural, etc. The
Vestal Virgins were VESTED with Power, and INVESTED in a world Cause or a local
Cause through my lifestream.
For instance, an advanced being desires to bring to the
human race the art which he has developed in the Octave of
Light. Working at inner levels, under the
Chohan of Art, he feels the race would
benefit IN SOUL GROWTH by seeing, absorbing, and creating this perfect art
(which up to this point may never have been expressed on Earth before.)
The Lords of Karma hear his plan and weigh his worth and capacities. Then,
looking at the World Plan, if his endeavor is auspicious at a given hour,
acquiesce to his desire to incarnate and bring his gift to humanity. He must
interest these contemporary Spirits in HIS CAUSE. They must not only love him,
but be found capable of offering beneficial talents, capacities, etc., according
to their soul growth and nature. They, too, must be passed by the Lords of
Karma.
If this Being is fortunate enough to secure fellow-beings willing to assist him,
then the Sponsor and his group come before me (Vesta) and they are individually
and collectively INVESTED in this movement in the name of God. I take the final
responsibility for
investing
souls, life, time, energy, intelligence, in a Cause, and the resultant effect
(the failures and successes) become my personal obligation to Life. The Cause is
carefully studied, its possible beneficial results for the race, the nature and
capacities of the Sponsor and volunteers are examined before such investment
takes place. All those invested are then, in turn, vested with the power and
authority of the Sacred Fire to draw out of life everything their intelligence
prompts them to call forth to perfect, protect, beautify and expand the Cause
they serve. They carry more power than the masses, for they have been cosmically
ordained.
During the entire course of incarnation, they work consciously or unconsciously
for the Cause they vowed to serve at Inner Levels, and, naturally, I am vitally
interested in their progress. In times of crises, because of my personal
responsibility, I am privileged to enter into the Cause and vitalize it with my
Power and Light.
To invest an individual with spiritual authority is to confer upon their life
flame, powers not previously present. I Am the Root of Investment, and a
powerful force in the financial world when understood. People design a project
and invest their substance, talents and energies into it, so the project may
live and prosper. So do I INVEST lifestreams in Cosmic Causes, working with the
Lords of Karma, to further world progress. These lifestreams represent my
capital, and the
Causes
benefit by their
Presence. All cosmic ventures are placed before me by their Sponsor and
the Great White Brotherhood. Lifestreams capable of assisting in carrying these
missions through the veil of incarnation must come before me. If their light,
momentum, karma and capacities are judged sufficient for the particular service,
they are INVESTED (together with their Sponsor) with certain additional powers
and dedicated to a Cause. This is all done at Inner Levels and later,
"circumstances" draw people together in the world of form when it is proper for
the investment to begin working to forward some faucet of Universal good.
The Cause of Freedom was born in God's Heart when the first
Individualized God Flame was created, for God desired all his creation FREE!
Many Causes are set up by the Godhead directly, and many
Causes are born through the initiative of his children. A Cause, to which a
lifestream may choose to dedicate his life, is not necessarily created by the
individual himself, but it can be
assumed.
An individual interested in such service may take the responsibility of carrying
such a Cause to mankind so that its ultimate beneficial effect may sooner be the
heritage of the people. The Godhead may create Causes. Intelligent Beings,
pondering on ways to serve God's plan, may evolve Causes and bring them into the
consciousness of mankind.
When a Cosmic desire of God's Heart pulsates in the Higher Heavens, waiting to
be claimed, ensouled, and lowered by one of his children, it is so finely
attuned and vibrates so quickly, that it is neither visible nor tangible to even
tremendously evolved beings, EXCEPT where their own interests and leanings
through the centuries have created in them a similar vibration. Thus, a Being
would have had to love freedom, serve freedom, etc., for centuries before the
Cosmic Pulsation would be even discernible in the blazing Cosmic Light which is
the "desire world" of the Great Central Sun or the physical Sun of the system.
Such a Being is Saint Germain. He finally achieved an individual consciousness
sufficiently sensitive to PERCEIVE God's desire to bring
Freedom
to his creation. (The ability to perceive the
Presence of any blessing is one of God's gifts and is developed by the humble
listening heart.)
When Saint Germain (among all the hearts in Heaven) pierced through God's aura
and entered the Secret Place of the Most High, he saw "unclaimed" the Cause God
had set up "before the world was." One day, by the nature of its being, this
Cause must have an effect which would be manifest as unconditional freedom for
every part and particle of his creation. Love had answered before the call, God
provided before the need!
His heart thrilled at sharing the development and externalization of the
Father's Plan for further blessing to his children. He loved that "Cause,"
prayed and prepared, that someday he might be worthy to ensoul it with his own
Flame and carry it down to the world of men, that Its effect might externalize
on the screen of manifest expression. The Sun itself calls the Being prepared to
carry his particular Cause to fulfillment, either when the Cosmic Hour for its
birth is come, or, if some child of Heaven had anticipated that hour and become
the fit vessel for its incarnation,
before the hour.
When any Being becomes ready to be invested with
a Cosmic Cause, the law of magnetic attraction begins to pull on the Heart of
God and the Cause that has lain therein starts on its downward course to join
itself with the consciousness making the call from below. Thus, does the Godhead
become aware of the readiness of the race for greater blessings.
The Father called the son, Saint Germain, in the ripe hour and Saint Germain, in
a Cosmic Initiation, entered the great Flame of Freedom. He ensouled it with his
own Individualized Flame, taking full responsibility for carrying it to Earth
and letting its effect radiate through all life and all created beings.
At Inner Levels, he worked for centuries, interesting lifestreams in that Cause,
until many were willing to stand before the Lords of Karma and volunteer to
invest their lives in helping bring Freedom to the race. With their Sponsor,
those who accepted this opportunity to give Freedom to the people of Earth were
given audience before me and each invested with the knowledge and power of the
Sacred Fire
and the vision of the Cause in its
fullness.
Then, as a corporate body, together with their
Master, they were cosmically invested
in
the Cause of Freedom-their bodies, minds,
souls, natures and
heritage. None can leave that Cause until its
effect is manifest. All are my investment in the name and by the desire of the
God of Love.
Gently “I AM”
