Excerpts of an Address by the
BELOVED ASCENDED MASTER EL MORYA
June 24, 1956
Beloved ladies and gentlemen! It is my privilege and honor to again
greet you through the veil of human maya, speaking my words into your outer
brain consciousness. Each one of you receives according to his capacity to
understand, in the outer self. Even among human beings talking one with another,
there is a different amount of comprehension, understanding, clarity of
perception and capacity to put the instruction into applicable works. When we
come from the Ascended Masters' Realm in which we dwell to speak through the
"veil" into the consciousness of unascended beings, we see that there are no two
chelas (no matter how earnest, honest and sincere) who have the same capacities;
either in emotional receptivity, mental perception or the same etheric ties of
the past with us; nor, of course, do they have the same type of physical
consciousness and brain cells. So, when we address a group of unascended
individuals; when we come forth to speak at a conference such as this; we expect
and we do receive very different types of receptivity and comprehension from
each blessed heart. It is no reflection upon anyone of you. It is due to your
own evolution upon which you have risen to this point where you at least accept
the Ascended Masters as real Beings. It is also due to your national and racial
karma; your family karma and even your education in the school system; as well
as in your churches from which many of you have come forth into greater freedom.
I speak to you now, each one, just in the same manner as did the
Master Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount, when every man heard it in his own
language. After this class, if I were to take each one of you aside individually
and ask you to give a five-minute resume of what I had said, you would be amazed
that there would be no duplication of theme matter, one point appeals to one
person; one phase of the law to another; one power of perception perhaps is
greater than another. Therefore, we throw the "seed" ideas into the
consciousness of the group and each one is at liberty to weave them into that
which he thinks is best to bring about the freedom of his fellow man and expand
the Glory of God. In the first place, you would not be here if you were not
vitally interested in expanding the Glory of God through his Living Presence in
this Universe; as well as in developing your capacity to consciously contact
that God Presence and through that contact with it, bring Divine order, purity,
supply, health and balance into your worlds. You would not be here if you did
not concede, at least mentally, that there are such Beings as the Ascended Host
of Masters, the Angelic Kingdom, the Devic Kingdom and other Beings who are
beyond the realm of human sight. You would not be here if you did not love your
fellow man because, for many years, it has taken much of your energy, time and
substance to sustain the activity of our Beloved Master Saint Germain in this
Octave and to continue (according to your own light) to experiment with the use
of the Violet Fire and with the use of the various facets of the Law. Through
all of this you have been trying, individually and as a group, to learn the
mastery of that Divine alchemy which will produce perfection for you upon a
moment's notice!
You are yet in the apprentice stage and we can but give you the Law
as we know it. This we shall endeavor always to do where we are given the
opportunity. Then the karma of what you weave into that Law and what you make
out of it becomes your own. Of course, behind you I always stand so that if you
cannot fully "make the grade", I balance that karma in Cosmic service.
Now, that should relieve you of mental strain. The endeavors of the
chelas so often bring on a sense of mental strain which undoes much of the good
that would ordinarily be accomplished in relaxation (not lethargy). Again, it is
the following of "The Middle Way", the razor's edge. It is a relaxation, resting
within the Immortal Three-fold Flame of God "I AM" which is waiting to be called
forth by you and through you; yet not allowing yourself to feel humanly
responsible and apart from this Presence. In this connection, you could be given
no greater words than those of your Great Teacher, Jesus, whom many of you
followed in his last Earth Life: "I of myself can do nothing. It is the Father
within that doeth the works." Every Ascended Being and every unascended Guru of
great light points you to that same self-evident truth!
Self-realization - the Dedication of this Class
This class is dedicated primarily to getting you acquainted with the
power of the Immortal Victorious Three-fold Flame of God "I AM" (right within
your beating heart), as an Intelligence; as a Presence; as an actual Being who
will act for you when called forth by you; filling your feelings, your minds,
your etheric bodies and your flesh with the substance of the Godhead qualified
according to your requirements.
Cosmically speaking, we have advanced far beyond that point which we
expected to accomplish (in the Ascension of Sanat Kumara to his own Star and in
the ascent of the previous Lord Maitreya to Buddhahood). Through the service
which has been given, a great deal of the human creation in, through and around
this planet Earth already has been transmuted. Through your kind and efficacious
decrees individually and in groups, many of the vortices of human distress have
also been removed and dissolved. The lifestreams who came out from the
"Compound" are now studying in the Temples of Mercy and they are learning to use
the Violet Fire to make things right. The individuals who had been within the
"Sleepers' Realm" have resumed their conscious awareness and have applied to the
Karmic Board for permission to embody again and fulfill their Divine Plan. The
Earthbound (discarnates) have all been removed from the planet Earth. Those
three great activities which took much of your energy are now depicted upon the
frieze around the base of the marble altar at the Royal Teton and those
activities have been completed, whether the outer consciousness accepts the
reality of it or not!
This gives us time now (under the counselship of the new Buddha, of
the beloved Maha Chohan and various other Beings of the Ascended Master Realm)
to develop the individual mastery of each one of you and then make you, in turn,
a focus through which mastery may be developed in, through and around
yourselves, the group activities and then into the outer world. Perhaps this may
not seem as glamorous a task as the dissolving of a "Compound", but it is a very
important one beloved ones. You see, even one lifestream who has come to a point
of perfect alignment with his or her own "I AM" Presence, being able to call
forth its power and powers at will, to instantly create conditions of peace,
harmony, purity, health and supply, just one such lifestream could and would do
more for this activity and for us than all our worded and spoken instruction!
When you come right down to fundamentals, all mankind today is looking for
practical works. We cannot blame them! When people are sick and diseased; when
they need supply or are mentally troubled, abstract presentations of Law do not
even register in the mind. After they have been relieved of those distresses,
then is the time when good teachers should be ready, able and willing to show
them the scientific applications by which the teachers were set free and the
people, in turn, learn to become master through those same applications of the
Law.
Of course, you will encounter the things experienced by the Master
Jesus when he healed the lepers and only one returned to thank him. Those of you
who do gain mastery will give many blessings for which there will be no return
from the individuals so blessed and no asking for the science by which you did
it. However, there will always be the grateful few who really want to know and
those few are the "leaven in the loaf", carrying the love and the light to the
many.
Need for Practice of Stillness
Beloved ones, I have been asked to allow you some time for
contemplation during this class. It is My nature and the nature of most of the
First Ray people to drive and get things done. So, it is an initiation of
patience upon all First Ray people to become still, periodically. Yet, if you
can and will do this and will remember to daily invite the Brother or Sister
from the Retreat at the Teton (or from the Retreat of the month) to come and
stand with you while you are making your daily application, he will help you to
understand and accept the reality and efficacy of this Immortal, Victorious
Threefold Flame of God "I AM" within your heart. He will help you as you
endeavor to light the aura around you; to let you see that Flame come forth from
your heart, from your forehead and from the tips of your fingers. Do not stay at
this practice for too long at a time; it is better to practice it for short
intervals. In this way, you will begin to use the exercise which leads to the
transfiguration of the flesh. Spending hours and hours in a corner trying to
make your inner light visible or to precipitate would only cause greater mental
tension than ever in your world and this is not desirable. We do want you to use
good, sane, balanced God-sense in your endeavors to realize and call forth into
action the Presence of God, "I AM", from within your own heart.
We have been asked to emphasize to you the requirement of
acknowledging the "I AM" Presence within the heart. Even in our Realm, beloved
ones, before we start to do anything of import, we get still. Most accidents and
unhappy occurrences in the human octave are caused by hurry and by not getting
still enough emotionally, mentally, etherically or physically before the
individual starts upon a project. Even in our Realm, before we attempt to render
any service, Cosmic, planetary or individual, we get very still and absorb more
light from the Source of our Being, saturating ourselves with it. We anchor
ourselves firmly within that Light and then direct it forth for a given purpose,
whatever it may be, whether it be the instruction of a chela; the making of a
Star or Planet, whatever the occasion might be!
"Directors" and "Receivers" - Both Essential!
Now, dear hearts, in order to have a perfect activity of the Light
Rays, you must have both "directors" and "receivers". This is the way we work in
the Ascended Master Realm, we have the Master who is directing the energy and
the Ray goes forth from him to another Master who is working with him. He
receives it at the point where the service is to be rendered. We do most of our
communication, of course, in this manner through the Light Rays, without worded
speech at all. Through radiation and picture, the communication is directed and
the service is given.
I think perhaps you may not completely comprehend just how much is
involved in the preparation of one of our Classes. First, we have Cosmic
currents which we must watch (in order to be able to take advantage of a
specific blessing for the Earth at a given moment); then we have the instruction
from the World Teacher which must be imparted to you; we also have the students
in the Class, whose strengths as well as weaknesses we must also watch; and we
have the activities taking place at current Retreats with which we want to
acquaint you. Then we must consider, too, the question of climate, especially at
this time of year when it seems uncomfortably warm here to you. Concerning this,
I would like to speak to you a moment about your atmosphere here.
I might say that if you had taken up my intended invitation to visit
Darjeeling as the setting for this Conference, we would have started at Ceylon
and walked up through India. You would have found it there a good deal warmer
than you do here in Philadelphia! You would have had to provide your own
atmosphere, blessed hearts. It is very hot in the south of India. When you get
up around Darjeeling, of course it is very beautiful, but we were going to start
at Ceylon and let you see some of the lovely places that belong to history now;
places where the Buddha walked and talked; where he gave his first message to
the public and where he finally ascended.
I took it upon myself (among all my other duties) to consult with
our new Lord Buddha (formerly Lord Maitreya), our Lord Maha Chohan, the
Archangel Michael and Lanto, concerning the possibilities of drawing here into
this room certain cool air currents from the mountain ranges of the world.
Having obtained their acquiescence, I went to the mountain ranges of the various
Continents and contacted the Hierarchs of the Retreats which are there. I spoke
to our Blessed Himalaya and asked him if he could have a group of Brothers
direct cool currents of mountain air down here into this class room in
Philadelphia from the Himalayas. He said: "Yes, if you have receivers". I said:
"I shall have receivers!" Then I spoke thus to the God of the Swiss Alps and he
said: "Methinks I shall provide a twenty-four hour cooling system there, if you
have receivers". I again replied: "Certainly! We shall have receivers". Then I
spoke to Lord Michael in the Canadian Rockies and he said: "O, yes, we shall
send our radiation from the Canadian Rockies, if you have receivers". I
promised: "O, yes, we have the most wonderful receivers". Then I went to Lanto
and spoke with him at the Royal Teton. You can imagine the service he has to
render! The Karmic Board is coming in this morning; all the Hierarchs are coming
in from all over the world; all their scrolls are on their doors; all the
Brothers and Sisters have wonderful ideas to present to the Board. Have you any
concept of the energy, wisdom and courtesy it requires to take care of all these
activities; to get those presentations in order and, as well, to guard those
energies as well as that of those around the Teton who are not yet qualified to
enter but who do feel the Light? I said to him: "I know you are very busy and
the Karmic Board is coming today but could you spare a few Brothers to send some
Teton air to Philadelphia?" He said: "Yes, if you have receivers". I spoke to
God Meru and I asked his assistance from the Heart of the Andes and, of course,
he also acquiesced with the same statement. From the African mountains we asked
assistance also!
From the Australian continent, we have asked the Master whom you
know as David Lloyd (God of Gratitude and Divine sponsor for Australia) and the
Brotherhood there to send us here a Ray of Gratitude. From Africa, we have also
invoked the Ray of Healing which is focused in one of the Etheric Cities over
Africa. At the moment, there are many Rays converging here from all these
various places. Will each of you please accept the responsibility during this
class of being a "receiver" for at least one of these Rays each day so that I
can show these great Beings that my words are truth? Thank you, beloved ones,
God bless you.
Complete Surrender to Great White Brotherhood
I have been asked today to keep my talk "light". You know I Am great
on presenting the Law and sometimes it seems as though I must be almost forcibly
restrained in order to keep the instruction "light". You see, if we get into too
deep an action of the Law, the students get so tense and over-conscientious,
likely to feel that they're either personal failures or that they are not doing
what they should. For that reason, the Maha Chohan asked me today to keep the
instruction "light". You know, when you join the Great White Brotherhood, your
name, your feelings, your mind, EVERYTHING goes to that Brotherhood. Then we
work staff in line under our new Lord of the World, the beloved Gautama (the
former Buddha) and whatever they say, that is done! Suppose Saint Germain wants
something done, well that is done. We endeavor to assist whatever Master
Presence is rendering the service and which the greater wisdom of those farther
above us (on the Ladder of Light) know is for the greatest good for all. When
mankind (and the students, too) come to have that same respect and courtesy for
and to each other, how happy I shall be! I think I shall be the happiest Master
in Heaven when you have finished your experiments with what you call personal
freedom and are willing then to know what freedom really is!
Chelas are not too unlike horses while they are in training (I do
not mean in consciousness of course!) You know the "unbroken" horse rears,
plunges and loves what he calls freedom. He runs through the fields, the wind
flowing through his mane and he is a magnificent creature! I have seen many such
specimens. However, much more efficacious is that same horse when he has been
broken to bit and bridle; when he has become a valuable "servant", carrying
perhaps, a Potentate in dignity, still with his magnificent prancing step; still
with flowing mane and the beauty of his nature; but doing something constructive
instead of just running wildly over the fields. The same thing applies to
individuals, they are desirous, many of them, of what they call freedom. They
love the "clover patches"; they love the "high places" but if they are going to
be part of the Spiritual Hierarchy, sooner or later they are going to have to
submit - NOT TO ME - but to the infinite power of the Cosmic Law which requires
controlled emotions; controlled minds; controlled etheric vehicles and
controlled flesh! That is just common sense.
Entrance of Great Karmic Board
While we are here speaking to you, the Karmic Board are taking the
beautiful chairs prepared for them, set in position over the Royal Teton. We did
not know on Transmission night, June 16th, exactly when they would come. At that
time, the Builders of Form were in the process of creating for them seven
magnificent chairs of pink substance inlaid with pearl, in honor of the Third
Ray, which is the Ray honored by Sponsorship for this year. Those chairs have
been completed and are beautiful beyond description. Of course, the back of the
center one is a little higher and it has over it the canopy denoting the
authority of the Spokesman of the Karmic Board, the beloved Portia (Goddess of
Justice and Opportunity). This Board usually does not come into session until
very much later, closer to the first of July, but since They have come in early,
it must mean that they are going to have Visitors from other Systems, Galaxies
and Stars. It also means that there are certain activities which will take place
which we didn't wholly expect, both through your group work and the activities
at the Royal Teton.
As the Karmic Board enters, they are a glorious sight indeed! They
all wear garments of lovely pink also in honor of the Third Ray. I want you to
look for a moment upon Beloved Portia and see the magnificence of her entire
Being, the beauty of those luminous eyes; the beautiful crown of pink diamonds
upon her head; the soft chiffon veiling falling from it and then the long
flowing train extending some forty feet. As she is seated, certain of the Angels
gracefully arrange her train so that it is very becoming. This evening, certain
of the Elementals have chosen to cooperate with the Angelic Host in making more
festive the entrance of the Karmic Board and they are sprinkling lovely pink
rose petals over them. It is a very beautiful sight! A bit below and in front of
the Karmic Board, the Beloved Lanto stands alone in pure white garments and
behind him are the Hierarchs of the various Retreats, with their conscious
chelas.
At this point, beloved Portia rises and speaks:
"Beloved Lanto and Friends assembled! We have come at this hour
fulfilling a Cosmic request from the Sun of this Galaxy, known to you as Alpha
and Omega. We are awaiting the Messengers from the Suns of the various Systems,
as well as from the planets that belong to those Systems. These will address
you, Beloved Lanto and your Assembly, before you fully formulate and present to
us your petitions. Therefore, at the command of Cosmic Law, we are reversing the
usual activity, which is the presentation of petitions from the Hierarchs,
Angels, Elemental Kingdom and unascended mankind to us. We are going to have the
outpouring of certain designs, plans, patterns and truths from Above which I
know will elaborate upon those already prepared by you. We come to you today,
beloved Lanto, and through the power of projected consciousness we are able to
reach the handful of earnest souls in Philadelphia to give to them also this
message. Thank you."
Beloved Lanto speaks:
"Beloved Portia, in the Name of God 'I AM', in the Name of the Light
of the World and in full reverence for life, first I thank Almighty God for the
honor of guarding the Precipitation Ray here in the heart of the Teton; for the
honor of guiding lifestreams who care to come to us in the expression of
self-mastery; for the magnificent honor of your Presence with that of the entire
Karmic Board above our humble Retreat twice each year; for the added honor,
unexpected even to us, of the Visitors from other Systems. When I speak thus to
you, I speak, I know, for every Ascended Being, Angel and Elemental, as well as
for every chela who is either present with us or is a part of this Half-yearly
Conclave. Thus may we clasp hands, from the realm of Earth (where the need is so
great) to the realm of Heaven from whence the help that is needed does come! I
thank you, dear ones, for coming! Beloved Portia and Great Karmic Board, always
we remain your obedient Servants; yours to command at a moment's notice!"
Our
Gracious El Morya returns to speak again:
As you have heard the conversation between Beloved Portia and
Beloved Lanto, you will understand that the presence of these Cosmic Visitors
(as well as the gifts of love and light which they have brought to Earth with
them) will bring much added power into your individual worlds, beloved ones. I
can see easily why it is essential for you to have as much peace and quiet as
possible in your four lower bodies, especially during this class, so that you
will be able to handle this power. Wherever a God-Being goes, he carries his
Causal Body, (which is his aura) with him. Therefore, if the Earth's atmosphere
is going to have Visitors from the Central Sun; from the other Suns of the
System and the, other planets as well, you can be prepared for POWER, I can
assure you! For this reason, I am very grateful that we are having this time of
quiet and preparation. I am grateful, too, that I have opportunity to speak to
you about making these "air-conditioners" and I am expecting you to be good
"receivers" thus helping to create as comfortable and happy an atmosphere here
as possible. Each one of you is responsible now to me, because I have pledged
your 'services to the Cosmic Law.
Whole Purpose of Current Endeavor!
The whole purpose of the current Endeavor, this Endeavor, which was
born out of my own heart, is to acquaint unascended beings with the requirement
of the moment! There are hundreds and thousands of magnificently inspired
individuals who compose song, literature, poetry and every conceivable kind of
beauty. They are all under the radiation of God and one or more of the other
Masters, but, among all this group we are a distinct unit, formed for a purpose.
That purpose is "on the spot" reports of that which is the requirement on Earth
as seen from the Ascended Masters' Realm; then the willing cooperation of
unascended beings releasing their energies to set into action (through song,
visualization and decree) whatever is necessary at that exact moment. Otherwise,
I would not have endeavored to establish this Movement. That is the only
differentiation, dear hearts.
You could take your Bhagavad Gita, a most magnificent inspirational
work and enjoy reading it while sitting in the Wissahickon Park, for instance.
You would draw wonderful radiation from above and create a peaceful, comfortable
aura about yourself, maybe ten feet across. So, while you were nice and
peaceful, anyone who would be fortunate enough to walk through that aura would
get a blessing. However, what we are trying to do, precious hearts, is to cover
the entire planet with light and give Cosmic service. Thank you for your
cooperation to this end and good morning.
