COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS

BELOVED MOTHER MARY 

Beloved Children of Light, you are attaining great freedom and enjoying the one Eternal Happiness that results from becoming masters of circumstance rather than victims of fate. 

The lifestreams who begin to perceive the powers of the Sacred Fire and avail themselves of the opportunity of drawing the Sacred Fire into focus both for the purification of causes known and unknown and for the creation of new fundamental rates of vibration, are passing through the door from the realm of three dimensions, which is a prison, into the Realm of Cosmic Cause, which is the Fourth Dimensional Realm, or the Ascended Masters' Octave. It is the fulfillment of the promise of Serapis Bey when he said that you would consciously pass over the Bridge into the Realm of Divine Ideation; and while yet wearing the garments of flesh, you would no longer be at the mercy of your own misuse of the creative energy or that of others. 

You are studying Consciousness, and you have come to a realization that within the realm of consciousness is the CAUSE of every EFFECT - good and evil - that has appeared, or will appear, in the lifestream of the individual, BUT, there is something ABOVE the consciousness.  

Consciousness is the EFFECT of the use of the God Principle by a self-conscious intelligence who has woven out of the Universal Light Substance an invisible aura in which there rests the CAUSES to which we refer. You cannot say for fact that man is his consciousness. Man experiences the results created by him through the use of energy and vibration, and his consciousness is the Effect of his use of free will. The consciousness is the instrument of creation. The Ascended Masters" Consciousness is their instrument and they create in their Realm of Consciousness just as the artist creates within his workroom or studio. The brush and the easel are the implements used within the studio, as are the thought and feeling faculties the implements by which consciousness is formed. Therefore, you have a four-fold differentiation: 

The self-conscious intelligence - which is the individuality;

     The thought and feeling faculties which are the implements of the self-conscious intelligence;

The Primal Life Energy, and;

The finished product - which is Consciousness. 

This is all at Inner Levels. Then consciousness itself, evolved through thought and feeling and the use of the Sacred Fire, becomes an instrument through which passes every idea into the Third Dimensional World to become form. 

Consciousness is the conductor from the unseen to the manifest. The Ascended Master Consciousness is used by the Master within which he creates through the faculties of thought and feeling, but in order to have his manifestation come forth into the -physical appearance world, he must use the medium of some consciousness who still belongs in the vibratory action of the race on the planet which he is assisting. The Cosmic Consciousness flows through some highly evolved pure human consciousness, and such lifestreams become Cosmic Conductors of Divinity. You have no greater example than that of our Beloved Jesus, for when the Cosmic Christ entered his very pure consciousness, the two became ONE. 

Previously I have spoken of the necessity of purifying the consciousness through which the Cosmic Powers may flow for the reason that the descent of Cosmic Ideation through that channel would energize and vivify any accumulation through which it passes, and in order to have selfless instruments who will allow their consciousness to be used by the Divine Beings who are, by Law, only permitted to serve through lifestreams belonging to our planet, we must be assured that these human consciousnesses are like crystal vials through which our Life and Light and Powers may flow. 

Regarding the fundamental rates of vibration of picturization and habit, these are tremendous cores of concentrated energy that act independently of the personal self. The intense call for the purification of these rates of vibration, known and unknown, within the life-stream will continue your already rapid progress toward the development of a consciousness which cannot be impinged upon by any imperfect creation. 

Offering your consciousness to the Ascended Masters will allow such glorious Divine Ideas to be created within the scope of your intellectual acceptance and recognition as will amaze you. These, fed by your thought and feeling will come forth to create with greater and greater clarity as you continue with your creative experiments. 

Continue the purification of your consciousness through the use of the Sacred Fire. Call to the Beings of Purity and, through self-conscious alertness, do not entertain any picture which would be like a great cloud around the Cosmic Currents passing through you for the freedom of all. 

BELOVED ELOHIM VISTA 

Returning again to the ever-expanding knowledge and understanding of the Realm of Consciousness, I present to you another point of application which will assist you in the process of training and maintaining an inner consciousness at a higher level of spiritual attunement than has been the natural course of the individual evolutionary expression to date. 

When a man or woman desires to raise himself or herself to a conscious understanding of the Law within the Ascended Master's Consciousness, the fact must first be recognized that it is the internal nature of one's entire being that must go through a period of drastic change and attunement which are diametrically opposed to the currents of energy that have been the natural expression of the individual to date. 

You have been told that the mental, the feeling, and the etheric natures of all mankind are one, and whatever affects one affects all. The advancing consciousness makes an intellectual affirmation of its desire to rise out of the mass mind, and then wonders at the rise and fall of the state of his consciousness - not realizing that his inner bodies are at the mercy of and are controlled by the mental and emotional waves going through the Universe released by the peoples of Earth - the discarnates as well as those from the Higher Octaves. Thus, in order to facilitate his progress and ensure a steady forward motion of his entire lifestream, the student must learn how to disconnect his inner bodies from the mass consciousness and tune them into the vibratory action of the Higher Spheres. The quicker vibratory action of the latter will raise the lower bodies from connection with the mass mind and will greatly strengthen them by the currents of those Higher Spheres into which they are attuned. While that higher vibratory action is vibrating through them, they will be immune to malefic forces, but once an individual allows any one of the lower bodies to descend again into the turmoil of the outer consciousness, he becomes a part of and is affected by the mass thought and feeling. It is a matter of the individual's conscious free will choice. 

To give a clearer understanding of this, let us take your emotional nature. Consciously offer it into the Heart of Heaven and let the qualities of the Ascended Masters fill it with the substance and feeling that Heaven expresses. If your emotional nature is held in the Heart of Heaven, no inner or outer experience will be important enough to change the ecstasy of that vibratory action. 

Consciously take your mental body and tune it into the All-knowing Mind of God. You know that you cannot entertain a thought less than Perfection and keep it there within that Mind, and when the individual's mind is so attuned, it cannot become a part of the mental confusion of the world. 

Take your etheric body and consciously bathe it in the Waters of Purity, and in the Flame of Purity let it record only Perfection. 

As your bodies are thus trained to rise and join with the Ascended Master Mind and Heart, they will feed upon the substance of Universal Good. They will not allow you to be dragged down into the unhappiness of the outer world and they will feed your consciousness with their reports from God's Kingdom rather than dump the refuse of their experiences in the world of human thinking and feeling into it. 

Through this phase of unfoldment, I trust that you will invite the various Ascended and Cosmic Beings to fill your consciousness with their Perfection and to teach you how to train your lower vehicles to become perfect expressions of the good of your lifestreams.
