THE MASTERS OF WISDOM SPEAK
LIFE - ITS INTELLIGENCE, OBEDIENCE AND IMMORTALITY
MAHA CHOHAN:
Life is a gift from God! Life, therefore, is intelligent and does respond to
direction. Life is obedient to man because God (by whatever name you choose to
call him) directed the intelligence in life to obey. Life is immortal because it
is the essence of God, who is Immortal; given freely into the creation of
planetary systems, individual beings, and generally, all that lives.
Mankind are studying life. No scientist has yet been able to actually generate
life, although many dedicated men and women have prolonged life in a particular
form. The orthodox people refer to life as that which "The Lord giveth and
taketh away." However, they err in their belief that the Giver actually takes
away life. That life which seems to have been "taken away" is merely summoned to
function in a different Sphere, still under the direction of the free will of
its user. You, gentle reader, are one of the billions of souls belonging to this
Planetary System who have been given the use of life, which has obediently
fulfilled your conscious or unconscious commands through the ages. The nature of
your soul, the state of your mind and bodies (inner and physical) your
surroundings and aura are a result of your qualification of life through the
ages. Now we come to a time when you are offered the knowledge and application
by which you may redeem the life given to you, resurrect the Divine Image in
which you were created and, generally, allow life within and about you freedom
to express perfection.
EL MORYA:
Life, gentle readers, flows into your being constantly. Because it does so
silently, without fanfare, it is accepted too prosaically by man. Life gives
intelligence to the brain and various members of your body, receptivity to the
senses, power of motivation to the physical and inner bodies. It is time to
consider from WHENCE comes this life and WHAT should be done with it. Man can no
longer continue to be the beneficiary of the great Giver of Life and not
courteously ask of that Giver for what purpose is that life given. When that
question comes from the soul, the heart, and the mind of man, the answer will be
forthcoming from the Giver of life. Then man will be held responsible for his
further use of life; much more so than the individual who has not come to the
point of spiritual awakening, where he asks this question and receives the
answer. "I Am" among those who have offered to convey the answer to the earnest
ones who truly desire to know from whence comes their life; why they are
sustained in this physical world and how they can use life to help fulfill their
individual destinies, as well as courteously cooperate with the Giver of life.
KUTHUMI:
Mankind has used life rather promiscuously through the ages. Because life is
obedient and intelligent, it has obeyed the directions of mankind's thoughts,
feelings, words and actions. Life has taken on the forms which mankind
themselves created. These forms are not always pleasurable to the outer self.
When mankind realize that life in itself is immortal, obedient and intelligent
and that they, themselves, have the power to direct it into constructive
channels, they will come to a point where self-mastery is possible. Truly it is
said "He is worthy to command who has learned to obey." The Earth is a
schoolroom where mankind have been endeavoring to learn how to mold life
substance into beautiful forms, beautiful colors, beautiful radiations, for
their own blessings as well as their fellowman. However, man has "fumbled" a
great deal in this process of learning and as the apprentice-carpenter leaves
many shavings from the beautiful wood upon which he practices, so have mankind
left many similar "shavings" in the atmosphere of the Earth where their
experiments have taken place. Many of these "shavings" are not of constructive
expression and are called "human creations". It is to clean up the "shop" (the
Earth) of these imperfect expressions of the use of life, that the earnest
student is dedicated. Even as the worthy apprentice must sweep clean the
"shavings" of his crude endeavors, so must the student who wishes to use life
constructively engage in the task of cleaning up the discordant creations and
clumsy efforts of his ages of experimentation with the use of life. For this
purpose, the Violet Flame of Mercy and Forgiveness has been created and its use
given to a few among the sons and daughters of men. If they willingly use it, as
the apprentice-carpenter uses his broom to clean his room, then they are ready
to be given the instructions which lead to conscious direction and channeling of
their life energy into forms of beauty, harmony and perfection of expression. We
are in this period now!
PAUL (THE VENETIAN MASTER):
Having seen the very smallest electron projected forth from the Godhead (the
Universal "I Am" Presence), we know that within even one of these electrons
(billions of which form your living river of life) is all the power and
potential creative activity of the Deity, it is our endeavor to draw forth from
the individual who is ready for such assistance, the gifts that are inherent
within the life so freely and constantly given into his use and governing power.
As uncountable numbers of these electrons pass into the being of every member of
the human race every minute, if an individual were to utilize the talents, gifts
and creative power within even one such electron, he would be amazed at the
perfection and generosity of the gift of life itself. However, man lets life
(like water) flow through his being unused or worse still, destructively
qualified by thought, feeling, spoken word and action. The Music of the Spheres,
the colors of the Heavens, the wisdom of the ages, all these gifts and more are
within his own life. We, the Brotherhood of Love, endeavor to direct our Rays
into this life and release some of its perfection. When we have good results
through the cooperation of the individual, the life that flows to and through
him is qualified with some expression of beauty. Often such a one, once in
possession of the power to constructively control the flow of life, forgets the
assistance given, reveling in his talent; receiving the benefits from its use;
basking in the applause of his contemporaries and, generally, feeling that
life's talents, merely expressed through him are his own! Then such a one (by
Cosmic Law) is denied the use of that gift in a succeeding life; until the
lesson is learned that life and its Giver - are the Doer, the Doing and the
Deed.
SERAPIS BEY:
At Luxor, we allow the student to see the color, the form and the effect of his
personal qualification of life. This is a hard lesson, but it promotes the
development of humility in the great and of rebellion in the small. Yet, if the
student can and will accept his own qualifying power as the cause and core of
his distress, he is on the road to permanent and eternal freedom. He then
cherishes the gift of life and develops the potential Divinity within it and,
most important of all, he uses life to bless all in the sphere in which he has
fitted himself to dwell, without thought or motive of personal gain or merit.
HILARION:
Life is immortal! This is an encouraging statement, yet it denotes to the
thinking man that there is no escape (even in so-called death) from learning the
lesson of using life to fulfill the Divine Plan. While the Creator (God) chooses
to direct a flow of life-energy into an individual, that one must be held
responsible for the qualification of life and for the sublimation of the life he
has already used and misqualified in the past ages. While we are in the
Resurrection Temple, each student has tremendous opportunity to invoke the
Resurrection Flame through the life in his mind, body, world and affairs. We are
sincerely hoping many will take advantage of this opportunity and have the
wisdom to ask that the Resurrection Flame only re-animate the perfection within
his life expression. Thus the inner and physical bodies are quickened, renewed
and vitalized, the soul is sublimated and the human creations of the ages are
transmuted into beauty and perfection.
JESUS:
When an individual thinks, feels, writes or speaks the words "I Am", he
immediately receives the attention of life within him as well as around him.
Why? Because the words "I Am" are the signal to intelligent life to create. I
learned this lesson at the feet of a Beloved Guru in India. I saw life come to
attention when those words were used, silently or audibly. I then saw life
immediately obey the fiat or decree that followed the use of that creative
statement. It was at the feet of that Guru that I learned the power within the
Creative word "I Am" and began to utilize it myself, enjoying the buoyant,
uplifting feeling of the constructive use of any statement preceded by the words
"I Am". I sincerely believe that the ultimate success of my Ministry was the
constant and deeply felt use of the simple statement "I Am the Resurrection and
the Life of my Divine Plan, physically manifest here and now". Life will obey
you! It always has! Every creation that lives in your world constructive or
otherwise, is the result of the obedience of life to your command someplace upon
life's way. Turn to the constructive, positive, conscious use of the
resurrection power of the Creative Words "I Am" and prove to yourself that
intelligent life will obey you and manifest according to your decree. There is
no greater teacher than one's own experience. Try it! I challenge you!
SAINT GERMAIN:
Many individuals all through the ages learned of the obedience of life to the
words "I Am" and they purposefully followed these words with imperfect decrees
which life proceeded to manifest. Then the masses, used to following some
leader, also began to use the words "I Am" to manifest imperfection. Later, they
forgot both their teachers and the power within these words; subsequently
falling into a loose and uncontrolled use of the Creative Word "I Am". It is now
the opportunity of the Spiritual Brotherhood to show mankind how to use the
words "I Am", always followed by a positive and constructive statement. The
difficulty lies in the fact that man tends to make any statement of power a mere
repetition of words without feeling and conscious thought. Thus most
invocations, prayers and attempts at resurrection and redemption are not as
efficacious as they might be, were the student to truly ponder the Truth that
the words "I Am" cause life to obey instantly and become that which the speaker
indicates he wishes to manifest. Let us now endeavor to use the Creative Word "I
Am" only in a constructive manner; then witness the resurrecting power of
perfection which will flow through the life energy of the student body and all
the evolutions using Earth as a planetary home!
