Spirit of Christmas

Spirit of Christmas, Magnificent One!

Born with the coming of Heaven's dear son;

Names for our Mary, God-Mother of men,

Welcome! O welcome to Earth once again!

Spirit of Christmas, from Raphael's heart,

By consecration, make all a part

Of your great Service, melting away

Shadows of discord by Love's Pink Ray.

Spirit of Christmas, charge through the throngs

Of men at Christmas, Charity's songs

Songs of forgiveness, thanksgiving and cheer;

For our dear Earth hold your Peace all the year.

Spirit of Christmas, upon you we call

Gratitude's blessing from the God-self in all;

Make Earth the fullness of all that you are

Hasten the Victory of dear Freedom's Star.

Spirit of Christmas, with love aglow

Spirit of Christmas, we love you so!

Seal now our Planet in your Christ-Flame,

Stay with us always, in Jesus' dear Name.

("The Spirit of Christmas" is one of those transcendent Beings of whom we have spoken - a great Angel of beautiful form, substance and God-consciousness. She is named for Beloved Mary, the Mother of Jesus.)

Rays of Spiritual Illumination

GIVING IS LIVING

The very first activity which caused every Intelligence to come into being is based upon the Truth that the Father-Mother God gave from themselves a portion of their Immortal, Victorious Three-fold Flame to create another self-conscious Intelligence. Then, also, as the very first activity of the elemental light-substance was to give of itself to create around that Flame a shining electronic Presence, it follows through into every Sphere in which the lifestream of that Intelligence abides, that giving of life, (which is energy, substance and virtue) are not only the inherent nature of such Intelligences, but an absolutely necessary activity for survival!

Should a consciousness ever refuse to give of itself, it would thus contradict the Law of its God-parents. Then, sooner or later, some other intelligence willing to so give would be found to take the place of that original facet of expression, through which such Heavenly parents could continue their process of giving life and Its benefactions to bless the various spheres and Planets in which such requirements of externalized God-gifts are most needed to fulfill the Divine Plan.

The Universal "I AM" Presence lives but to give! Mankind should take note of that fact and begin to emulate the perfect expression of the giving of his own energies, in the release of his talents, powers and substance in order to enjoy life, rather than experience a mere existence in the physical appearance world or even beyond the veil called 'death'.

Beloved Holy Æolus

The greatest artists, musicians, sculptors, poets and authors never measure the release of their gifts by the personal gain to the self. In fact, they usually go to the opposite extreme and insist upon pursuing the development of their talents without the slightest consideration as to what they, personally, will receive in return for the manifestation thereof. Usually, it is the case that centuries after the masterpieces have been completed, others - less talented and more calculating individuals - reap the monetary reward of the original artists' service. When an individual is a true devotee of the Arts or any other constructive endeavor, he is usually so one-pointed in developing and externalizing his gifts that he gives little or no thought to the personal prestige, monetary recompense, which might result from the completion of his endeavor.

It should besot particularly with the spiritually minded individuals who have taken embodiment to be an example of and radiate the Virtues of God to mankind. Remember always the LAW OF BALANCE! What every man sows, he surely reaps! Life, magnetized by any intelligence, must follow the Law of the Circle, because of the very nature of its being! It must ultimately return to the intelligence who has sent it forth, with an impersonal blessing and benefaction - always too, with accumulated energy!

Beloved Maha Chohan

Most unascended lifestreams, mainly because of the fear of experiencing lack and limitation, have lost their interest in giving of themselves to life impersonally. Thus much of their spiritual consciousness just 'shrivels up', because the tendency to withhold the gifts of their life is not the natural expression of their Divine nature.

At this Holy Season, we are asked to bring to your attention the unalterable Truth that a man enriches and renews himself emotionally, mentally, etherically and physically, by giving of his talents, gifts and powers to his fellowman for their greater blessing, which gifts and talents have been vested in him by his Godparents and the Divine Hosts of Heaven. Giving does not necessarily mean the exchange of the substance of this world's goods, but there is no individual belonging to this Earth's evolutions who has not, in his or her Causal Body, certain momentums of good which can and should be released NOW - right here - into this physical appearance world, to give assistance in the redemptive process of the Earth and her evolutions. Holding back these gifts, virtues and powers is a serious karmic offense of omission, for which every individual lifestream must account one day before the Karmic Board.

Beloved Morya

Let me assure you that no Root Manu would allow embodiment at any time into the race of which he was in charge, to any individual who already had not built certain constructive momentums into his Causal Body. These can and should be used NOW for the impersonal benefaction of the evolutions to which he has voluntarily dedicated his life and energies. We are speaking only of the Earth at this time in order to make your scope of study more comprehensive to the outer consciousness.

Therefore, each one of you, my dear gentle readers, has been accepted into Earth's evolutions by some Root Manu because you already have gathered momentums of virtues and powers which the Earth's people require. The giving of these momentums of good for the impersonal benefaction of the race is to follow the example of our Beloved Brother Jesus, who lived only to bring the gifts of healing, inspiration, peace and understanding to all who would accept his blessing.. The offering of yourselves to this impersonal service is the greatest gift of the Holy Season and the greatest gift you can give to life. If you wish to give such a gift at this time, you can make it in the Name and to the Honor of our Beloved Jesus, Holy Mary or the Beloved Saint Germain (formerly Saint Joseph), reminding the outer consciousness often through the course of the day, that this allowing of the goodness of Heaven to flow through you to bless life, is your gift to the evolutions belonging to the Earth.

Beloved Kuthumi

I shall attempt to answer the question in the minds of some individuals as to why so many great artists, poets, philosophers, scientists, and inventors live out their years in poverty and amass so little of this world's goods. It is because they are so one-pointed in their endeavors to create something of beauty that they do not allow their attention (their life) to rest upon the amassing of wealth in this world of form.

However, nothing of a constructive nature is ever lost, and while they live, and ofttimes die in poverty - according to the world's standard of success - they have laid up for themselves stores of riches in their own Causal Bodies. Sooner or later, such individuals will receive the benefaction of their dedicated energies. You see, all that life becomes the wealth of experience in the Causal Body which will make them more efficient servants of their God in a future day. The lesser developed life-streams may seemingly profit by the exchange of these masterpieces, but the one who originally drew them forth has the cause and core of creative ability in his or her own Causal Body, for use when and where required in any Sphere in which he may be fitted to dwell In other words, those who profit by another's gift have just the shell, but the original creator of beauty has the spirit of the gift - which spirit is eternal!

Beloved Serapis Bey

It seems a pity that there are not yet more embodied among mankind - more illumined and intuitive lifestreams who recognize the gifts and capacities of those who have consecrated their lives to us, those who understand the necessity for assisting and sustaining the gifted and consecrated ones to our service, both by the offering of their energies and substance to help such servers, who serve selflessly to enrich the heritage of the human race.

You will notice that, almost without exception, the cognizance of the research of such dedicated souls is nearly always realized by the beneficiaries of those blessings long after the consecrated souls so serving have passed from the Earth-plane. In the very near future, the worth of such individual lifestreams will be cognized while they can yet have the assistance of less-developed but interested lifestreams. These will make it possible for them to give their talents freely to mankind; not distracted by the need of producing what they require for sustenance upon the Earth.

So often, because of past karmic ties, impersonal and dedicated lifestreams are surrounded by family and friends who require (and rightly so) a certain measure of protection, sustenance and assistance. This condition distracts the consecrated soul from his one-pointed endeavor to magnetize and develop some blessing for the race. Thus the consecrated one has the double responsibility of paying off karmic debts all the while he is endeavoring to perform his service for the benefaction of the race. When other less developed chelas understand this, they will joyously assist the dedicated one to transmute his karmic burden, allowing him fuller freedom to concentrate upon the God manifestation which prompted by his Holy Christ Self, he desires to develop and externalize.

Beloved Hilarion

Having experienced the joy of giving to bless the race, I know it is more blessed to give than to receive.

I had the great good fortune to have a mother and a father who did not selfishly 'pull' upon my vital energies which had been dedicated to my Mission, but rather gave of their energies to me so that that mission might be successfully accomplished. Besides, I had no unpaid personal karma, any and all such karma having been completely transmuted by me in previous embodiments.

When I returned 'Home' at the completion of my Ministry, I was amazed at the expansion of the size of my Causal Body, because of the free-will service of having given ALL OF MY LIFE to the alleviating of the distresses of the people of Earth. Because of this, and the enlargement of my Causal Body, it has been possible for me, through all these succeeding centuries to again give of that momentum to any and all of my followers who truly desired to emulate my example. Now this, in turn, is also steadily increasing the size and efficacy of that Causal Body - for the expanding light of One's chelas also adds to the gathered momentum of good for his Teacher.

Remember, nothing is static anywhere in this Universe, and the Law is: "To him that hath shall be given; but to him who hath not (the desire to give of his God-given talents) shall be taken away even that which he hath!"

Beloved Jesus

At this season of the year, we are celebrating the birth of the Beloved Jesus. By example, he taught us all to look only to the Father within for all our needs. I now counsel you so to do. Should there be those who are prompted from their hearts to assist you, be assured that we are most grateful for their help and sometimes we have even prompted them to do so. However, if there are those who disregard the promptings of their hearts and refuse to give such assistance, let the consecrated chela, who desires to serve us and all life evolving here on Earth, CONTINUE to serve as best he can. Let him PERSEVERE, and more and more quickly will there be gathered around them those lifestreams who are glad and willing to help.

I do decree that those chosen to be the way-showers of the race shall not be guilty of the sins of omission in this crucial hour and those who have been sent to form a Bridge from the Divine into the human octave shall be sustained by the "I AM" Presence, even if their contemporaries neither cognize nor sustain their gifts.

Beloved Saint Germain
