An Address by
BELOVED MASTER JESUS
December 30,
1955
Beloved children of God, I come to bring to you my consciousness of victorious accomplishment! That which I have done that which I have manifested through a flesh form similar to the one which you presently wear was not miraculous! It was something similarly ordained for every lifestream upon this planet. My endeavor to bring that manifestation of Christ-fulfillment before the eyes of men, was merely to provide an example by which every man, woman and child might be stirred to make effort toward a like development and a like maturity of their own Godhood.
One of the greatest mistakes which has "bogged down" the activity of
the Christian Dispensation is the placing of Godhood upon myself alone and
denying it to my fellowman. Of course, as we have come into a more enlightened
age and some of the superstitions and dogmas of the Orthodox thinking have been
swept away by the braver men and women who opened the door to the spiritual
Path, there has come a spiritual realization that Christhood is possible for
others besides my humble Self. Before I was even born into my final embodiment,
there were many, many lifestreams who had achieved the state of Christhood; full
Mastery and God-control, having sublimated the flesh form, knowing the victory
of the Ascension! However, for the Christian Dispensation, it was my great
opportunity to manifest the Resurrection, which is done so easily every Spring
by your Nature Kingdom. I was to come and bring the Divine Presence right into
the substance of Earth, developing it into a God-man, made in the Image and
Likeness of the Father who, in the first place, created me. He also has created
you in like manner.
The Perfect Divine Pattern
For every Divine creation, whether it be Angel, Deva, Seraphim, or
human being, there is the Archetype of Perfection for that creation. In the case
of the human being, Saint Germain has chosen to call it "the individualized 'I
AM' Presence." This Divine Pattern of Perfection is fashioned out of living
light and within its heart is placed the Immortal Three-fold Flame of Life.
Within that Flame is intelligence and within it is consciousness! In lesser
degrees of expression such as flowers etcetera, there is also a Divine Pattern
created. If it is in the Nature Kingdom, the Divine Pattern is formed by the
Devas who are designing (let us say), the daffodils, which will be the glory of
the country-side in the Springtime. The Divine Pattern is fashioned at Inner
Levels out of primal light by the thoughts and feelings of those Devas;
energized by the directed pressure of some Elemental life and then is focused
within the bulb. The Elemental who is in charge of breathing his life essence
upon the bulb causes the Divine Pattern of perfection (already within the bulb)
to expand, until the perfect replica and manifestation of the daffodil appears,
that Divine Pattern which is in the Inner Realms.
So, those who have given great honor to my particular Mission might
consider this with a little more wisdom and understanding. They would find that
every daffodil which bursts into bloom; every flowering shrub; every tree that
follows its natural pattern does, through the Nature Kingdom, that which I did
through a flesh body! You, too, must do this some day! Within your own
individualized "I AM" Presence, you have your Divine Pattern and Plan. You have
been created and directed from the heart of the Universal First Cause by some
Great God-parents. Some of you came from Alpha and Omega's Cosmic Hearts; some
from Isis and Osiris; some from Apollo and Diana; some from Krishna and Sofia or
from Helios and Vesta. (Note: The above Sun Gods and Sun Goddesses are those in
charge of Systems closer to the Great Central Sun than the System to which the
Earth belongs, Helios and Vesta being the God-parents of our System. Alpha and
Omega represent the Great Central Sun itself.) Your individualized "I AM"
Presence was created in the Image of the God-parents who directed a Threefold
Flame from their hearts into universal light substance and around that Flame
coalesced your glorious Electronic Body of light. Then later, there was
projected down into this physical appearance world a portion of that magnificent
Flame. It contains within Itself (even as the bulb contains within itself the
perfect design of the daffodil), the picture and the seed of your Divinity and
of your God-self. Are you less, then, than a flowering bulb or a seed that
produces after its kind? Are you less than a blade of grass; less than even the
embryo chicken which bursts from the egg, following the pattern of its parents?
Ah, no! You are far greater!
However, you have one thing which is not the gift of the Nature
Kingdom - freewill! Through the use of that gift of
freewill, you have chosen
not to let the God who created you (the Divine, perfect "I AM" Presence Who is
living within your heart) expand into its full perfection. From time to time,
Beings have been chosen at Inner Levels who have a certain consciousness of the
capacity of "letting go and letting God" and these volunteer to come to Earth
through physical embodiment to show the people the way to attain Mastery;
showing them how to develop into the full flower; the full bloom of the Christ.
Your Mission Similar to Mine!
Now, your Mission is similar to my own! Before I came into the world
of form, I was "charged" with a Mission that is to manifest unto all mankind the
full perfection of our Father which is in Heaven. You were also so "charged"
when you were created! When your Beloved Infinite "I AM" Presence projected down
into your physical heart the Immortal Three-fold Flame, that Flame contained
within it the embryonic Christ whose light we are now endeavoring to expand
until it has stirred the outer self from its soul-sleep. We are trying to expand
that light to a point where its pressure is more powerful than that of the
shadows of the physical and astral Realms in which you presently abide.
Beloved ones, let us not feel that "becoming the Christ" is such an
effort! Is it an effort for the bulb to release the green shoot; the lovely
golden head of the daffodil; or the lily with its fragrance? Is it an effort for
the Nature Kingdom each Spring to manifest the Spirit of Resurrection and, where
trees with leafless branches signify the absence of life, to bring perfume and
color in blossoms that garland your countryside with such beauty that it brings
you closer to the Kingdom of Heaven?
Beloved ones, why is mankind alone content to allow the embryonic
Christ within his heart to remain quiescent within its "shell"? Why is he
content to let it remain within the "bulb" and not let the flower of his Divine
manhood unfold? The perfume, beauty, dignity and gifts of God through each one
should expand to bless the Earth and her people sick unto death with travail and
all manner of distress.
What is the "second-coming"?
One Christ is not enough, even in a two-thousand year period! The
"second-coming" means the awakening of many men and many women; many sincere and
determined lifestreams who have had enough of their own way and who, in the
privacy of their own rooms, are willing to kneel before their own God, asking
that that Presence have its own way with them; externalizing the glory of the
Divine Pattern and Plan through their outer selves.
This was my Message it was my Mission! It was the reason for my
coming into being; the reason for which I went through every experience of the
Earth life, even to allowing men to mutilate my flesh form. I allowed this to
prove that the Immortality and Divinity of the Godhead could be manifest through
one of the sons of men. This is my endeavor now, in drawing your attention, each
and every one of you, to your own Christ. It is not as if you had to generate
something inside yourselves that is not already there. It is not as though the
gardener had to insert the pattern and picture of the daffodil into the bulb...
it is already there! The very fact that you have being and a beating heart
proves that this Divine Image and Pattern is within you and it but requires the
courtesy of allowing your Presence to develop its full maturity through your
lifestream at this time. All over the world tonight, earnest, and sincere groups
of men and women have gathered together while we are endeavoring to pour our
energies into their souls, dislodging in that process the desire to continue to
use free-will destructively!
Dear hearts, the removal of the destructive use of free-will is the
petition which you individually and collectively have made to the Karmic Board.
I would like to explain to you that the desire to use the free-will
destructively (which continues to create and sustain imperfection) is in the
feeling world. Thus you may understand a little more clearly how it is possible
for you, through application, to raise the vibratory action of your own world,
the student body and then of mankind at large, to a point where destructive
desires no longer exist. You know that the more rapid the vibrations of energy,
physically, mentally, emotionally or etherically, the less of discord there is!
The slower the vibratory action of the atoms and cells which make up your
physical and inner bodies, the more prone they are to accept and become the
recipients of vibrations of a low, heavy and discordant nature. Therefore, the
acceleration of the vibratory rates of your inner and outer vehicles is part of
the reason for your decree work, your songs and, in general, your collective
group endeavors.
Acceleration of Decrees and Songs is
Beneficial
When a group of students gathers together for a meeting, a great
Master Presence or Deva stands within the atmosphere. As the decrees, fiats and
songs go forth in a fairly rapid but balanced tempo, the rate of vibration of
the atoms making up your physical and inner bodies increases and there is thrown
off much misqualified substance which is instantly transmuted by the Great One
in charge of the meeting. You would be amazed could you see with the inner
sight, how much impure substance of your worlds is thus transmuted by that
beautiful, ever-present and all-willing Violet Fire. This impure substance has
been lodged in your physical and inner bodies.
Benefactions of Violet Flame
This Violet Transmuting Flame is always blazing up around every
Sanctuary, once it has been called forth there, even when you are not present.
It is so wonderful to know that the Violet Fire is always there. Whenever
purification is called for, that Violet Flame goes into action. It frees the
Elemental substance from all impurities, returning it to the Sun for
repolarization by Divine Love.
Explanation of Atom and Electron
Now, to explain the activity of the atoms, we shall go back to our
illustration of the electron and the atom which has been given you previously,
(especially in the Autumn class of 1955). The Causal Body* (represented by the
circles of color around the upper figure in the Chart) may be likened unto an
enlarged electron. Many of those electrons, swinging around a central core, form
one atom. Between each electron there is a great distance (relatively speaking).
As the electrons swing within their atom, they are either expanding their light
or they are closed in by the discord and substance of the astral and psychic
Realm, which is forced like pie-shaped wedges, between these points of light.
Now, when your thoughts, your feelings and your etheric memories dwell upon
imperfection, you slow down the vibratory action of your electrons and then the
substance of the psychic and astral Realm closes in around them, lowering the
entire vibration of your four lower bodies. In this way you become an easy prey
to depression, poverty, ill-health; to any number of the various negative
aspects which mankind at large mirror and outpicture today.
(*NOTE: The "Causal Body" is composed of a series of
circles of constructive colors around the individualized God Presence of each
lifestream (the "I AM" Presence), that which Beloved Jesus called the "Father".
This Causal Body is the repository of all the good created and developed by that
lifestream that created by the Presence and Holy Christ Self of the individual
at Inner Levels, before taking physical embodiment; as well as all the good
created, developed and expanded by the human personality through all its
centuries of embodiment here on Earth (or on some other planet, if the
individual came here from another Star . Beloved Jesus says in one of the
Gospels in the New Testament that man shall be accountable for every word that
proceeds from his mouth; also that every "jot and tittle" must be accounted for.
So it is! Not one electron or atom escapes from experiencing the results of the
vibrations sent out by, from or through it. The Law of the Circle is absolute
and all must return to its Source one day, either for purification or reward.
That which is GOOD is deposited in the Causal Body and that which is discordant
(because of its very density and low rate of vibration) stays around the
physical body and its environment. It is this accumulation of evil which forms
the Astral or Psychic Plane! This discordant accumulation (individual as well as
the collective discord in the Astral and Psychic Realm, must all be purified and
redeemed one day, before the Ascension can take place). This purification is
accomplished through the constant, dynamic use of the Violet Transmitting Flame.
When 51% of the energy of one's lifestream has been drawn into the Causal Body,
qualified with perfection, then that individual's Ascension into his Presence
(his Source of God's Perfection) has begun.)
Constant Vigilance Required Over Four
Lower Bodies
Now, in order to quicken the vibratory action of your inner bodies,
you must use that Immortal Threefold Flame within your hearts and you must make
conscious effort to accelerate the rate of the electrons as they move around the
center of the atom. This is done through your decree work; through your songs,
visualizations and applications individually or in groups. It is done also by a
constant vigilance over the type of feelings you allow to rest in your emotional
world and the type of thoughts you dwell upon. This vigilance is necessary all
through the day, not only during the hours while you are in class, at which time
you are directed primarily by someone in charge, whose endeavors keep your
attention above the consciousness of the mass mind. The type of memories which
you have and the type of physical environment with which you surround yourself
also affects these inner vehicles. As you keep a vigilant watch over the
activities of these inner bodies and you keep the vibratory action of each one
of them up above vibrations of the psychic and astral Realm, then there should
be no difficulty in expanding the Christ Flame from within your heart. If you
allow these bodies to descend into the Realms where discord and negative
creations abide (through discordant thoughts and feelings) then you have age,
disease, limitations and distresses of every kind and description.
Your physical body is interpenetrated by your etheric body. These
are enfolded by your mental body and your emotional body. All of these are made
up of atoms. Those atoms are composed of a series of electrons in constant
motion, spinning around its tiny centripetal heart. Now, the quality of the
atoms of every one of your bodies is constantly subject to change; to
purification and etherealization; or to become grosser and heavier. That is why
individuals are sometimes very beautiful when they are young (around eighteen
years of age). Their faces then are clear and unlined; their bodies are alive
and buoyant; but after they have passed through the discordant experiences of
some twenty or thirty years, you find that the vital flesh atoms have been
lowered in vibration. This makes the flesh form less beautiful than it was
before the discord was registered upon it.
Your emotional body is in a constant state of motion, as is even
this seemingly inanimate lectern upon which I place my hand. Science has
confirmed that there is no such thing as inert or inanimate matter. Your
emotional body is made up of millions of tiny electrons in constant movement
these form the atoms. Now, if that motion of the electrons is in accord with the
rhythm of your God-Flame and is in accord with the constructive radiation of
some Master, that is fine! Then your emotional body deflects all destructive
feelings projected at you, as well as all the discordant energy which you
contact. You are then the Master-control of all energy wherever you are! In
other words, your feelings ride upon the surface of life, just as a cork floats
upon the water and it requires no effort to sustain itself in that buoyant,
happy state. However, if the vibrations of the emotional bodies are allowed to
submerge that body beneath the buoyant poised happiness of the Master
(uninterrupted harmony) , the form of atom changes and you have a heavy and
uncontrolled vehicle, which is part of the mass psychic and astral Realm of
mankind. In order to refine and purify such an emotional body, the student has
to keep using the Violet Fire through it constantly!
Strength of Love Required for Victory
Here, let me digress for just a moment. Sometimes it is quite
amazing to me to see what some people think I feel! My goodness! If I had been
the lukewarm, sad-faced individual mankind picture me to be, I never would have
gained the victory! Beloved friends, Divine love takes great strength! To
honestly love in the face of betrayal, abuse and distress, takes great
strength... Love is not a negative, lukewarm consciousness which mankind so
often accept in referring to the shepherd and the sheep. The shepherd is
eternally vigilant and his love for his sheep takes him into many dangerous
places, believe me!
Now, going back again to this emotional body of which we were
speaking, if you find that yours is heavy; if it has explosive tendencies and if
it has various qualities in it, apt to rush off hit or miss, according to the
pressures of the moment, all right! Let us be calm about it! You have created it
throughout many centuries of living. It is made up of intelligent electrons
forming atoms and these you have collected through ages of time. They are yours!
No one can take them from you, probably no one wants to! The very fact that it
is yours; that it is intelligent and that it can be sublimated (refined by fire)
should be an encouragement to you. Students get so discouraged the moment they
see any expression of the "Dweller on the Threshold" (their own human creation)
the moment they see something in their worlds which needs correction. They go
along for many years or perhaps a whole lifetime in joy and happiness when their
strong points are confirmed; but it is the weak points which keep you from your
Ascension!
Dear hearts, we come to give you assistance in correcting that which
is wrong in your world and to help you create strength of character... Every
time you have a flare of discordant feeling, it blasts through your emotional
body, setting all the electrons and atoms ajar. What happens then? After these
little electrons and atoms get over their shock, they are vibrating in a broken
rhythm and any of the psychic and astral Realm around them, vibrating at the
same rate, connects with them and becomes part of the substance of your own
emotional vehicle. Meantime, through the natural proximity of the mental body to
the emotional, the electrons of the mental body are also set into motion and you
have another set of discordant vibrations. When the mental body is inharmonious,
it tunes into other discordant thoughts and draws those types of atoms into
itself. This stirs up etheric memories, somebody did the same thing to you
twenty years ago, and the etheric body starts into motion. (Audience laughed.)
Well, beloved ones, I am glad you can laugh, but this is what happens to the
average chela and student in a period of twenty-four hours, once if not more
often. Then, all of these discordant bodies react upon the flesh and you have
indigestion, a headache or some other physical distress. The flesh body is
prostrated for the time being. Then, all over again, you have to start to
recreate a harmony among the members of your household.
The Beloved Maha Chohan brought out a good point of instruction,
last night. You know, sometimes it is necessary for us to come together and
discuss the class work, as well as your progress individually. He said one of us
should be sure to bring to the attention of the students the fact that
repression of emotions is not the answer to this endeavor to sublimate the outer
self. You see, repression of thoughts, emotions or actions will only cause
frustration, which will react in either physical distress or some mental or
emotional block in consciousness. Transmutation of your energies is the safe way
to get these vehicles into alignment. Now, you can use various methods of
transmutation.
Ways to Govern Lower Bodies
If you are a very dynamic, powerful and positive individual and you
have a great amount of energy to handle, you can transmute that energy in some
type of constructive service. Those of you who are gifted musically, when you
feel a surge of irritation approaching, still yourself for a moment and then do
something good with that energy. Play the piano; write a kindly letter; do
something you know will make someone else happy; do something constructive and
make the energy in the emotional body render some good service, rather than
allowing it to explode in the unbridled emotion of the moment.
Please, dear hearts, do this with the mental body as well. If you
have recurrent thoughts of self-pity or depression and if you continue to go
back to thought patterns of impurity (some lifestreams have more to handle along
this line than others), take charge of those thoughts right then and there! If
your mind is inclined to dwell on the negative side of life; on either impurity,
poverty or limitation of any kind; put your mind to work on something just the
opposite. Give it a book to read; give it something constructive to do and
re-channel that energy to where you want it to go! Give your mind constructive
decrees to learn and repeat. As long as it wants to work, then give it one of
the books of the Ascended Masters to read and let the energy work itself out
harmoniously.
The same thing is true of the etheric body. Individuals who have a
lot of leisure on their hands, particularly those in mental institutions, old
peoples' homes, prisons, etc, those who have not enough to do allow the etheric
body to continue to spin out records of past injuries which have caused those
conditions to manifest. The entire atmosphere in and around those places is
permeated with that effluvia of depression. This is also true of students when
they go on vacation or have too much free time. If the etheric body has not been
fully purified, there will come out of this sub-conscious Realm many things
which cause you to feel a sense of being "hard done by", through the injustices
of other parts of life. This is something to guard against! You can do the same
with this etheric body as you did with the other bodies, either use your music
or your reading, or render some constructive service to your fellow-man. This
will keep your etheric body from that disintegrating practice of energizing past
errors.
If you will do this, beloved ones, eventually you will get the
electrons and atoms of all your bodies polarized and harmonized long enough to
let God, through you, fulfill himself. The Godhead must get all your vehicles to
a point of uninterrupted harmony long enough to allow that beautiful Presence to
fulfill itself in glory through you, in dignity and in Mastery... Thank you and
goodnight!
