THE MASTERS OF WISDOM SPEAK
THE LAW OF THE CIRCLE
MAHA CHOHAN:
The use of primal life is a gift given to each self-conscious
intelligence by which that intelligence (with discrimination and wisdom) may
learn to qualify that life in a manner that radiates comfort into the Universe,
bringing back similar comfort on the return current of the sender's qualified
energy. The initiative of the individual intelligence in the use of primal life
prompts him to qualify that God-gift, send it forth, feel the result of its
return and thus, through experimentation, learn the joy of using life
constructively. This initiative is another gift of the Giver of Life -
free-will! Without free-will and discriminative selective powers of thought and
feeling, no intelligence could become a conscious co-worker with the Cosmic "I
Am" Presence and those who serve with it in expanding the nature of God on every
plane.
EL MORYA:
It is the opportunity and obligation of the Brothers of the First
Ray to help any selfconscious intelligence to find within himself the Will of
God. It is not our purpose nor our service to cause any such intelligence to
lean upon us for directions, which would ultimately weaken, rather than
strengthen, the development of that intelligence. We KNOW God's Holy Will and,
when invited, proffer suggestions and counsel which any individual is free to
accept or reject, according to his own development and capacity to receive the
Wisdom therein. No true Master or Guru (Ascended or otherwise) will weaken the
discriminative faculties of the chela; but rather, such a One will strengthen
and encourage the development of such faculties by gradually directing the outer
self toward the chela's own Intelligent Mentor within himself (The Holy Christ
Self). Many, however, use this very freedom to exploit and externalize some
personal motive. The few expand in consciousness and grace through proximity to
the Master and the manifest expression of such expansion of Divinity is true
humility which radiates from the heart and is not a garment thrown over the
deceptive vesture of spiritual pride and desire for "place" in the world of
form. Think on this!
KUTHUMI:
The Law of Cause and Effect (called by some "karma") is really a
tremendous opportunity for the individual to learn how to use the priceless gift
of life. By the distress, he experiences after placing his hand upon a hot stove
a child learns to avoid burning himself in the future; so does the student of
life learn how to avoid setting up causes of future distress through the
generation of inharmoniously qualified energy in anyone of his four lower
vehicles. Such a one then is not struck by the impact of returning energy of an
unhappy and discordant nature. The more advanced the student, the quicker does
the energy sent forth by him return with more of its kind.
PAUL (THE VENETIAN MASTER):
Even physical science now agrees that all form is in constant
motion, including so-called inanimate objects. They have explored the nature of
form only in the physical world. The pioneers on the spiritual path discovered
that all form on the Higher Planes is also in constant motion. The radiation
directed forth from that form takes on the quality of the selfconscious
Intelligence who is directing it; or, if it is a so-called "inanimate" object,
the radiation released from it is that of its designer and possessor. Therefore,
when we counsel you on the development of more and more Divine LOVE in your
nature, we know whereof we speak. We see the movement of your energy through
thought, feeling, spoken word and action and we know that the movement of that
energy will be in circular motion. Thus, if this energy is allowed to go forth
inharmoniously qualified, the sender of that energy will experience distress on
the return current of his own energy. Also, may I say here, that one should be
very careful of those so-called "inanimate" objects which previously have been
in the possession of a rather destructively inclined nature. This is because the
sensitive energy in such objects has taken on obediently the vibratory action of
such an one and radiates that vibratory action into the world of its present
possessor. Through the knowledge and the use of the Violet Fire of
Transmutation, such objects can be purified. They can be repolarized through
love and thus be raised to a more perfected state. However, indiscriminate
acceptance of gifts and objects without this process of purification draws much
unnecessary distress into the worlds of individuals. Even your present means of
exchange, money, affects its receiver according to the manner in which that
money was accumulated and the feeling with which it is given. Places of
occupation likewise become saturated with the energies of all who have served
there and should be purified daily by the conscious use of the Violet Fire in
order to remove any radiations of imperfection charged into the substance of
that place. Then such a place should be consciously charged with the quality and
feeling of pure Divine Love. Many scoff at the admonition to purify the
substance in which they move. Yet, remember that all substance is intelligent
and is both absorbing and radiating constantly!
SERAPIS BEY:
One of the easiest ways of showing the chela the truth of the Law of
the Circle is practiced in the Ascended Masters' Retreats. A circle of energy is
formed around the periphery of the emotional world of the student and then he is
allowed to project his energy forth within that circle. When the chelas energy
touches the periphery of this circle, it literally bounces back and the chela
instantly feels the result of his own qualification of life. In the usual course
of life, no such small periphery is provided and the length of time through
which the individual passes (usually engaged in other occupations) is such that
he has forgotten the cause set up within himself which produced the unpleasant
effect. Then, as a rule, he is surprised, chagrined and rebellious when the
circular current returns as a distressing experience. In our schoolrooms at
Inner Levels we have set up laboratories as described above, wherein any
individual desiring to learn the truth about the action and reaction of energy
may experiment in a small concentric ring which returns his energy quickly. I
decree that this manner of teaching may soon be made available to the earnest
chelas outside the Retreats. It surely would teach quickly the wisdom of right
qualification of primal life.
HILARION:
We are well pleased with mankind's recent scientific research which
has discovered the constant motion of all energy. The metaphysical discovery of
such motion on all planes will soon follow. Then man will know the truth of
Beloved Jesus' words: "as a man soweth, so shall he also reap". The fact cannot
be too strongly emphasized that energy, from the smallest nuclear center to the
greatest Sun, is intelligent; also, the fact cannot be stressed too much that
energy in the lower planes is obedient to the creative centers in man. The
qualification of energy creates a cause... that cause is directed into the
Universe and creates an effect... the effect is directed back toward its creator
and the creator's reaction to that effect (emotionally, mentally, etherically or
physically) creates another cause. Thus you have circles within circles.
Accepting the return current of energy as having emanated from oneself, the
creator then learns quickly that it is wise only to send forth from his world
constructive causes; also that he should receive gracefully the effects of
previous causes and not start a chain reaction whereby a new series of both
causes and effects are set into motion. Some earnest souls have misinterpreted
this Law by just accepting the distressing return of their own misqualified
energies, piously saying, "It is God's Will"! Others rebel and cry: "There is no
God"! These are two extremes of human reaction which must be illumined and
corrected by the Brotherhood of Truth through patient teaching, counsel and
example!
JESUS:
My mission came at the close of the Mosaic Dispensation wherein the
doctrine of "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" was accepted as Law. It
was my service to teach the possibility of transcending personal karma through
the use of mercy and forgiveness. My words (St. John 20:23) "Whosoever sins ye
shall forgive, they are forgiven; whosoever sins ye shall retain, they are
retained". This power of forgiveness applies to every man. When an individual
chooses to retain grievances against persons, places, conditions or things, he
retains the distress. When an individual chooses to release such grievances, the
erring party, as well as the forgiving one, performs the mystic rite of
transmutation of the inharmonies which tie lifestreams together for centuries,
making both bitterly unhappy by such restraining bonds. FORGIVE! FORGIVE!
FORGIVE! Thus you shall set yourself and all who have injured you free from
unhappy bonds that must be transmuted so that all the individuals involved may
rise to greater freedom and happiness!
SAINT GERMAIN:
The knowledge of the Presence of the Violet Fire, its use and the
feeling of the acceptance of its efficacy are so important to the earnest chela.
Mercifully, individuals do not remember all the various activities in which they
have been engaged through the ages. Energy, however, does remember and remains
qualified by its original creator until it is consciously transmuted. The human
kingdom, the bird life, the nature kingdom and the animal kingdom are all bound
by innumerable connections created through eons of association. The safest and
surest way of freeing the soul from the fetters of unpleasant associations (most
of which are not even known to the outer self) is to sincerely and deeply call
on the law of forgiveness for all misqualified energy all the way back to the
time of one's individualization and to ask the Angels of the Violet Fire to
assist such an one to truly want to forgive and then truly accept forgiveness.
Thus the Law of the Circle can be a happy experience, when the student creates
and sends forth only constructive causes and then subsequently reaps, of course,
only happy effects. Slowly but surely there is dawning in the outer
consciousness of the comparatively few interested in the use of the Violet Fire
the realization that the power of transmutation (perfecting the quality of one's
own returning energy or projected energy from another lifestream) is a
possibility. By practice, the outer self will become more cognizant of such
power of transmutation and the binding laws of karmic retribution will no longer
restrict the aspiring lifestream. The Individualized "I Am" Presence WILL HELP
in this transmutation when called into action to do so and thus save the outer
self even the knowledge of much of that wherein he erred. Remember "to err is
human; to forgive is Divine"!
