Living, breathing Cells in the Heart of the All-encompassing One, I greet you today and I bring to you the strong pulsation of the Flame of Cosmic Truth, that Truth which I know in its fullness, and in knowing, expressing It at all times! 

Now, I am looked upon as the austere one, but, children of the Father-Mother God, one does not know and thus BECOME Truth unless one desires to enter into and accept the training which I am privileged to give. 

When Beloved Serapis conferred with me recently regarding the forthcoming activities at the Luxor Retreat, it was agreed that both he and I would present to you the disciplinary action of the Spiritual Law. Now those who are the real thinkers know that discipline is motivated by Pure Divine Love - love for those to whom it is given and if one part is enfolded in Love, all Life is benefitted thereby - thus Love for the Supreme Source is amplified. 

We who have advanced on the Pathway of Light from deep within God's Heart can see the glorious Plan for each lifestream and for every cell and atom comprising all expressions in this vast Universe. This all-encompassing Consciousness awaits you who follow the avenue of Truth. 

With the preliminaries thus set forth, I now don my robes of the Teacher and I shall see from your acceptance of the Tenets which I am privileged to present to you, just how much you really desire Truth. 

Do you not think I wish to be loved by the children of Earth? As I have lavishly enfolded you in the Flaming Essence of Truth - always clothed, mind you, in the Flame of Love, I long for the return current from your hearts for at least a slight acknowledgment of my Presence in the Universe. I am constantly holding the children of Earth in my Love of Truth - just how many times have you turned your attention to the Flame of Truth since the first of this year, are the fingers on one hand sufficient to count the number? Every release of energy has a return current, and I am so patiently waiting for your recognition of the Flame of Truth return to me it must. Just what is delaying this action? Is your consciousness so bogged down with other mundane matters that you have shelved the activity of Truth? 

If you wish to build a strong Temple of your own vehicles in which to carry the Flaming Presence of Truth, your attention upon that Flame must be a steady, rhythmic acceptance of that God Virtue. Oh yes, you may say "I am studying the instructions of the Spiritual Hierarchy every day!" And I say, that is not enough! Put that instruction into practice. You do not know your lesson unless you can express the doctrine set forth therein. Please believe me, dear children, as an Expression of Truth I know whereof I speak. 

The mental activity of reading or listening to a lesson is of little consequence unless it is recorded, through acceptance, in your feeling worlds, otherwise it is stored away in the many times over-balanced body that houses mental accretion! When are you going to use that Truth? Surely you do not wish to wait for another embodiment or overcrowd the Temples on our side of the veil to learn your Lessons! 

Perchance you think I am cold and unyielding in my dissertation - if you do, then that shows that you have not even touched the fringe of understanding the real meaning of Truth! 

Ah blessed ones, search your souls with a determined feeling that you really desire Truth, Truth in all its facets of expression. Every God manifestation has Truth within its heart center and every expression has employed the activity of balance - Love, Wisdom and Power, otherwise it would not have come forth, BUT after the manifestation comes forth, what sort of a garment do you place upon it? Do you enfold it in love or do you give it passing recognition and permit it to float away, and seek sustenance from some other part of life to keep it nourished? 

To be an active exponent of Truth requires diligent 'effort’, I use that word advisedly. The chelas under the direction of the Spiritual Hierarchy have placed their feet on the Path of Truth, not an easy pilgrimage I assure you. It is strewn with many obstacles which must be overcome, but when you realize that you have placed those very impediments on your own pathway, not only in this embodiment, but through your previous journeys through the misuse of life, can you not see that the Cosmic Law is being very merciful in presenting you with instruction which, it is believed, will spur you on in your chosen mission? If you can get into your feeling worlds the basic fact that your Teachers are Beings of Love - Love for you, and thus Love for the God who created us all - you would begin to feel my Presence with you at all times. How many, many times do we state that there is no separation in God's Heart. God is within you and all life. Do not close your consciousness to this Truth by journeys into the human way of thinking! 

You are all advancing on the Path; otherwise you would not have come under the conscious direction of the Spiritual Hierarchy, that august Body of Beings who have foresworn the ecstasy of keeping their attention in Realms higher than that of the Earth plane. Oh yes, we do travel there and bathe in the blazing Essence of God's Heart in expanded activity, but we must, through our avowed dedication, devise ways and means which we believe will assist our less evolved brothers and sisters to attain their Eternal Freedom! Do you not consider this a Service of Love? 

We have a magnificent activity this year of Nineteen Hundred and Seventy-one with the mighty Directors of the Elements as the Sponsors. May I suggest that you become better acquainted with these Beings! The very same substance which comprises the Fire, Air, Water and Earth elements makes up your vehicles, and a little introspection, a little more reflection, will present you with a marvelous opportunity to tune into the specific activity of this twelve-month period! 

Blessed ones accept the Goddess of Truth as a Being of Love who has chosen to come to you at this time to assist you individually, and, through you all life, to gain your Freedom in the Light! The Love of my Being ever enfolds you. All you have to do to realize this fact is to turn your attention to the Truth of Life and I shall accelerate my activity through you to help you to become Truth while you yet wear a physical garment.
