Beloved Friends of Freedom, you who have loved Freedom long and are willing to incorporate the energies of your feelings, your thoughts, words and actions to bringing Freedom to an imprisoned Planet; to Angels that have enmeshed in human creation, to elementals that make up your rivers, lakes and seas, your very Earth and the air you breathe, - for you I am so grateful. It has been for many ages my Dream of a World Brotherhood, of a Brotherhood in which neither race nor creed nor color should have any place in differentiation between Divine Love and impersonal unified service! 

So now comes this Planet as the Violet Fire which I love, blazes forth from her heart, and those of you who love Freedom have written in the ethers those words, "I love Freedom's Star!" Ah, how I love this Earth! How I have enjoyed all of my lives upon it, the green of the grass and the early Spring flowers. No matter what the vicissitudes my outer personality had to go through, I should never renounce, even if I had the opportunity to do it over, one embodiment upon the Platform of Earth. I loved her; Virgo and Pelleur, Helios and Vesta, Neptune and Lunara, Aries and Thor and everyone of the nature elements that have continued to garland the Earth with a hope to a new Springtime, despite innumerable conditions of distress. 

It was in the Spring (May 1st) that I, myself achieved the Ascension! It was in the Spring that all of my sweetest moments of the various lives were experienced. It was in the Spring when Jesus, who the great Lord Maitreya allowed me to guard with the Holy Mother during those growing years, achieved the resurrection and his Ascension. We, who had already passed beyond the veil, not only Gabriel and our great Maha Chohan, not only the Divine Beings, but every one of us who had been a participant in Jesus' Ministry were allowed by Cosmic Law the privilege of gathering around that tomb in Aramathea's garden. There we knelt in a circle from the time that he was placed therein, and praised the God of Light, magnetizing those gifts and powers which were ours and directing them to him so that he might have every God assistance. 

On Resurrection Morn when the tomb was burst and he stood forth in the full glory of his manhood, all of us, not only the Heavenly Host but those of the lesser of us who still had a long and tedious journey on this Earth, all of us wept with the Magdalene in gratitude for our great gift of being allowed to assist Jesus in any small way during his earth life; and in gratitude then for his own personal consciousness that overcame so-called death and achieved the Victory of the Resurrection! Then we were each one called back into those inner spheres where we were being trained for successive embodiments. 

I am, through the grace of Almighty God and through the conferring of the title upon me by Lord Maitreya and Lord Maha Chohan, the presiding and directing Teacher for the Cycle that has already begun. This Cycle will be beautiful in the extreme. It is with a sense of great love for each earnest, sincere student that we pray that some of that beauty may come forth while they are yet in embodiment that you may know the ceremonial aspect of worship and the great activities of song, visualizations and magnificence which we endeavor to establish. This is part of the dignity and beauty of the Seventh Ray. 

It is difficult sometimes when an individual has lived some years in an earth body and accepted during the greater part of the life a particular type of spiritual worship, to make the transition into another type of service. 

In the nineteenth century Lord Maitreya, who is now your Buddha Lord Divino, interceded with the Cosmic Law and brought forth the Wisdom aspect of this magnificent triangle which will yet be complete. Following that the Power aspect in which I through chelas receptive, enabled mighty fiats to go forth. Now we come to the Crown of the Pyramid, which is an activity of pure Divine Love wherein the Wisdom and Power are raised through Love into the ceremony wherein Angels and men shall join to bring forth perfection of worship that will not offend the great masses we must meet, but will catch them up, they enjoying the beauty and seeing it manifest - will want to be like it! 

Love is the apex of all service! Love personified in song, in visualization, in ceremony of every kind, contains within it no drive, but a magnificent ever-increasing vibration of Peace, of perfume, Beauty and Perfection! 

It is to establish this Age of Ceremony that I live! It is to gain the outer consciousness of some unascended beings long enough to bring forth some of these ceremonies and to show the chelas that a positive and powerful service in dignity and Love, will be that which will attract the people; that will sustain them and bring them back unto the Teachers who are willing to make such a transition. Then, those great masses will become the Children of Saint Germain! 

Following in the footsteps of the great Jesus I find that I shall have to have much help from those who profess to love me, for Jesus' Life was like a comet, his Mastery and Victory publicly expressed, before five hundred people and recorded in all the Biblical texts. 

My humble Ascension in a quiet home in Transylvania, as my weary body lay in a friend's arms, was recorded only to a few to whom I have spoken of it. So I have no heritage except in the hearts of a few, the few that loved me as Roger Bacon; the few who stood with me on the Santa Maria; the few that knew my heart prayers as the great American continent seemed impossible to find; the very few that knew my integrity and honor as Francis Bacon and stood with me against the charge of State, which I accepted to preserve the dignity of the King of England. The few who knew the heartbreak as I passed through the tempest, so sure that if I were to wear the Crown of England, rightfully mine, but denied by human will, that I could establish then. Utopia and Britannica as a strong and powerful force; yet that too was denied me for my day had not yet come. 

Now the Crown I wear and the Throne that is mine will enable me in honor to establish Freedom's Star if there are those who believe in me, on my love for all life from the tiniest gnome and smallest undine and sylph, to every heart within which beats a Christus! 

Freedom's Day comes in! Freedom's Light is flowing through the very consciousness of all unascended beings, and Freedom's Way is the way of dignity, liberty, beauty, mercy and Love! I stand on these words in the name of the Ascended Jesus Christ, until I have become enough of a reality to you that my Light in your hands shall reach all people!
