RECOGNIZE THAT YOU ARE A LIGHT RAY, AND YOUR COMMAND WILL BE FULFILLED

BY BELOVED ASCENDED MASTER MERCURY

It has been said repeatedly that man is a precipitated Light Ray. The student who chooses to contemplate this as an actual fact rather than a fantasy will come into a great illumination as to his Being, and as to the Power to which he is indebted for all so-called initiative and self-conscious action. 

Light is motive power 

The axis of the body is a blazing pillar of Light, sheathed in the spinal cord and carried by the nervous system through the various members of the organism. Light is Life in motion. There is no activity that takes place in this system of worlds, or any other, except through the motivating power of Light. Light is the conductor which carries the energy wave, whether it is to raise a book or raise a continent. If the student would contemplate the fact that his capacity to even move a muscle is dependent upon the motivating power of Light, he would come to an understanding that his individual evolution cannot be separated from the Presence of Light, because there would be no motion, no intelligence, no sense activity, no being, except for the Presence of Light, which is the Life by which these experiences are vitalized and enjoyed. 

Open your consciousness to the Light 

Man's presence in the Universe is possible only because the Presence of Light has offered freely to animate and sustain the so-called free will activities of the personal self. Man could not utter a prayer, nor commit a sin, without the Presence of Light, which is the Energizing Power of his Being. Once man can recognize that his very being exists only while Light IS, he will become aware of the Silent Presence, and acknowledging that Presence as alive within him, he will open the door of his consciousness so that the Light which has served him without recognition for the most part can show him its powers when consciously coupled with his will.  

Your life depends on Light 

Let us take a practical example - a man determines in his feeling to raise his hand and throw a stone. He draws on the Light, which is the Life in the arm and proceeds to the culmination of his act, thoroughly unaware that his arm, without the light current, would be as inanimate as a withered branch disconnected from a tree, lying upon the ground. He is an unconscious conductor of Light, living by the Grace of Light, moving through the Universe due to the Presence of Light, but unaware of his dependence on Light for every breath. 

The student who would remind himself constantly that every activity is dependent upon the Presence of Light would see the manifestation, lives in darkness, and that when he is convinced that it is the Light Presence flowing through that every action, the individual truly rests in the Light's Arms, and where Light has served him unconsciously, Light, when recognized, loved and acknowledged, will burst into its Full Glory and consciously coursing through his vehicles, rush to fulfill his command. 

Acknowledge the light as the only power 

Light is the Universal Messenger whereby thought is translated into action. The Light Rays projected by the Ascended Master into the consciousness of the student is but an expanded activity of the direction of the Light through the body in the ordinary course of the human events, and rises to a peak of mastery and efficiency when the individual precedes all action by acknowledging Light as the only Power and then visualizing the Light carrying the thought into form. 

Remember, your presence in the Universe is a positive affirmation that a Light Ray has been anchored upon the surface of the Globe where your physical vehicle abides, and that there could be no body, no form, no activity were that Light withdrawn. So you are constantly in the Presence of Light, and the more you accept it, the more will the Light do for you in fulfilling your destiny.
