An Address by
BELOVED GODDESS OF JUSTICE, PORTIA
April 1954
Good evening, beloved of the Earth! In answer to your invitation I
come to bring to you the extreme gratitude of the Karmic Board of whom you
have heard so much and of whom you yet know so little. As the Great Board
meets in the halls of Karma, we remind you to witness the results of your
earnest and good endeavors proving that unascended lifestreams, yet working
out individual karma, may change the course and destiny of many hundreds of
lifestreams at inner levels.
Today is a day of great spiritual opportunity! This entire era and
age is one of opportunity, which it is my privilege and honor to represent
cosmically in this great world scheme.
Have you thought that, while you have being and conscious
intelligence in any Sphere, while you have the use of life, you have
opportunity in that Sphere. The moment you relinquish consciousness and
self-conscious being in any Sphere you lose opportunity to further function
there. So, avail yourselves, dear hearts, while you are still in this
physical appearance world (the place of greatest need in all our solar
system), of the opportunity that is yours. You have this opportunity because
you are part of the physical, mental, emotional and etheric world through
which we are endeavoring to pour the sacred love of the Sacred Fire for
redemption's sake. How many times before the Karmic Board has a soul plead
for opportunity to return to this Sphere which seems so distasteful, so
unpleasant and so difficult in which to abide! Yet when the soul has once
relinquished the Earth body and sees what it might have done with the use of
light, substance, energy and the opportunities that were at hand in the
course of that Earth life, sometimes it has to be forcibly restrained from a
frenzied endeavor to get back into embodiment and make things right. While
you have opportunity - opportunity in your family life, opportunity in your
business world, opportunity in your group activity to make things right with
each other, make the path easier for each other and to make it more possible
to reach each man and woman to fulfill his own mission, in the name of your
soul I implore you to do all that opportunity affords for your own peace of
mind and heart. Many a salty tear has been shed, many have experienced the
feeling of deep remorse that has risen within the soul when opportunity to
serve has fled. Even in your Earth plane, there are those who are no longer
among you whom, in life, you have either neglected or ignored. How often you
have wished that you had opportunity again to do for them the little things
that would have made life easier, to have said the kind words, to have given
them the encouragement, to have provided some comfort, perhaps of a small
nature, that would have given the loved one an easier pathway through the
world of form. "Of all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest of all 'it
might have been'."
Beloved ones, today is your day of opportunity! Today you have a
beating heart, beautiful primal life is given to you. You awaken each
morning with that life. You have enough knowledge of the law as we
individually have been able to give to you and each of you have certain
momentums of good in your causal body; certain understanding, certain
substance of the good of this world, certain momentums of healing. You have
opportunity without limit to assist in the cosmic momentum of each hour.
Mankind always seems to look either backward into the glorious yesterday or
forward into the shining tomorrow. They say "if I had lived in that era when
that dispensation of Jesus Christ was coming to its height, I would have
made things easier for that family" or they look forward into the tomorrow
and say, "when I have developed and matured my consciousness and placed my
world in order and when I have done one thing or another, then I shall
consecrate the balance of my life to God." Yesterday is gone and most of us
who have lived in the yesterday, repeat the patterns again today. Tomorrow
often never comes. The eternal now is that which is at hand, that which is
yours to serve through the use of life. Now is the opportunity that stands
before you as our beloved sister has written "Coming in many disguises, not
always blazing her light; only vibration apprizes what's to be done that is
right." Do you understand? Be alert for opportunity! Opportunity knocks at
your door to help your fellow men, to help mankind at large, to help my
Beloved Saint Germain in this great endeavor which has occupied his heart,
his spirit and his prayers for countless centuries. Each day is filled with
the gifts of opportunity and opportunity shall ever remain in this universe.
There is always opportunity for a beating heart to progress to fulfillment.
There was never a consciousness, when it voluntarily desires within itself
to go forward, who is not given full opportunity for that progress.
A few short months ago we, Saint Germain and I, assumed the Cosmic
Office as the Chohan of the Seventh Ray and in that office we shall jointly
reign for the next two thousand years. You will find me your Friend and your
Counselor when you choose to apply yourself to my Presence.
Beloved ones, remember the Law of Cosmic Justice is that no soul can
be denied opportunity when that soul asks for it! No unascended group of
lifestreams can be denied any opportunity to render any service (even the
seemingly most fantastic) if they ask for it! We have given you opportunity
and you have accepted it. The service which has been rendered to both those
who have passed through the change called death, as well as those who are
coming into embodiment, is the proof of what opportunity can do when it is
accepted in a firm hand-clasp of friendship.
Remember! I give you opportunity when first your consciousness
returns each morning. You feel a beating heart and you say "opportunity is
with me." Thank you and God bless you.
