Rays of Spiritual Illumination

"Personal attachment to persons, places, conditions or things, causes so much heartbreak while the individual is on Earth and, if possible, even more so after such a person passes through the change called 'death'. The magnetism (when tinged with selfish or personal motives, known or unknown) which literally mesmerizes the soul towards its creation is a tremendous line of concentrated energy which binds the soul to its creation, or to the individuals whom that soul has served. Thus I recommend that every service you give be rendered to the Glory of God and to the establishment of his Kingdom on this Earth."

Beloved Maha Chohan

"The feeling world (desire body) was created and has been sustained through the ages in, through and around every self-conscious intelligence with a Divine Purpose. That Purpose is to give life (energy) to ideas envisioned and to make them manifest forms. When the feeling world is used again selflessly as a proper creative force to energize thoughtforms, sustain and expand them for the good of the entire human race, it will have fulfilled its Divine purpose. Without deep, sincere, impersonal but strong feelings no idea, vision, thoughtform or World Movement (spiritual or secular) can either come to birth or live and be sustained in the physical appearance world. It is the service of the First Ray to so train the feeling worlds of the chelas as well as those of all mankind, imprisoned Angels and Elementals so that they may use their feelings as God intends, - to energize and externalize in practical works the Divine Concepts and Ideas received into the outer consciousness."

Beloved Morya

"I was among those who walked with the Lord Gautama when he preached the Doctrine of Detachment to his followers while he still wore a physical body himself. His doctrine was that those who used the creative centers of thought, feeling, spoken word and action to lower the Divine Ideas into the physical world should not, at any time, become attached to the creation drawn forth. He further strongly recommended that the chela watch for a sense of spiritual pride in precipitation, a desire for personal gain as well as a personal attachment to the manifestation drawn forth for the good of humanity. Some have followed this impersonal principle; others have chosen to ignore the tremendous need upon the planet Earth of the perfection waiting to express on Earth and many have chosen to personally benefit (financially or through the sense of personal power and authority) by the manifestation they draw forth. They have, therefore, forgotten the spirit of his teachings and follow the 'letter of the law’. "

Beloved Kuthumi

"To take the doctrine of 'desirelessness' literally would be to repudiate the Spiritual Law of Precipitation. The motive behind the desire determines its efficacy and its ultimate worth to the evolutions progressing within the Earth, on the Earth and in its atmosphere.

Many chelas, particularly in the East, find it comparatively easy to rise in consciousness into the Realms of Bliss and there abide, allowing this Earth and its progress to continue to suffer in limitation and distress. The true doctrine of the Buddha was to learn to so rise, attune one's consciousness to the Perfection which the Father has in store for the Earth and its evolutions, and then to consciously descend and practically manifest for the blessings of the race that Perfection. For this reason were the faculties of thought, feeling, spoken word and action given unto man. Observation of Perfection and participating in its bliss are not enough. Bringing that Perfection and that bliss to a planet in sore distress and a people in the agony of suffering, is the mark of a true chela of Lord Buddha."

Serapis Bey

"The desire body (feeling world) has truly been called by many the 'bottomless pit'. It is also the unconscious instigator of many promptings wherein the personal self will be benefited; thus, the absolute necessity for purifying this body of all known and unknown personal habits, patterns, desires, appetites, cravings for power, etc. Then, it is ready to perform its natural function - to energize joyfully, constantly and lovingly the ideas and patterns in the mental body. As by far, the greatest amount of energy fills the feeling world, any thought, vision, pattern or design which is given life (energized) by the feelings is literally catapulted into form. You know, yourselves, in the outer world that the greatest mental concepts never carry conviction unless their proponent has a true, strong feeling of their efficacy and practicability. I was able to perform the service as the Apostle Paul because I felt the Truth which I endeavored to spread abroad. Thus it is today that the teachers and chelas who truly accomplish spiritual conversion must first feel the Truth which we have so freely imparted. Then, truly, your words become flesh and dwell among you and among all mankind."

Hilarion

"The more pure a man or woman becomes, the greater the capacity of the feeling world to energize that which will benefit the human race. Desirelessness, as interpreted by many, may be pure selfishness and make the individual indifferent to the crying needs of his fellowman. Although I, myself, Beloved Mother Mary and Saint Germain (my earthly parents in my last embodiment) and some of my followers, had no personal desires, we were fully cognizant of the need of humanity. Thus, we ascended in consciousness to the Realm of Perfection, saw the Father's intent for all his children and set about practically to bring into manifestation that Kingdom here on Earth. A study of the very brief records of the experiences through which I did have a burning desire to alleviate human suffering; to heal the sick of mind and body, and to leave the world a planet of greater Light. So also did my great Predecessor, Lord Gautama."

Jesus

"Seeing the agony of those who have passed through the veil called 'death' as well as the distress of those still embodied who are prisoners of human desires, I offer the use of my Violet Fire of Transmutation and Mercy to purify the emotional bodies of the people.

The instruments, by which the perfection of God's Holy Kingdom is scientifically lowered into the physical appearance world, are thought, word and deed. To even cognize for a moment, that the feelings should become inactive (desire-less) is an untruth. Removing the cause and core of all personal desires and feelings is essential, of course. Then the feelings do their perfect work in energizing thoughtforms directed into the alert consciousness from the individual "I AM" Presence of any Member of the Spiritual Hierarchy.

Great discrimination is required at this point on the Spiritual Path to cognize the difference between the promptings of the outer self which seek personal gain, and the promptings from the Divine Realms which seek only to manifest here and now God's Will for this sweet Earth and all its attendant evolutions.

Do not ask for desirelessness, but for right God-desire. Do not ask for the experience of exalted consciousness without asking for the constancy, perseverance, honesty and selflessness so that you may draw the fruits of such exalted consciousness into the realm where you yet abide!

Visionaries and dreamers are many. Practical workers are few! It is these practical workers who are our hands and our representatives in this world of form."

Saint Germain
