Beloved ones,

I address you, unascended beings come to stand sponsor before the Lords of Life. Do you know what really decides the dispensation in favor of even the Lord of the World?

The amount of voluntary energies that he can show will be offered for the furthering of his cause among the people that he is endeavoring to serve! No matter how magnificent the plan, no matter how beautiful the design, no matter with what thought there has been woven out of the energies of the various Retreats and their Hierarchs and the assembled Brotherhood, the pattern which will help the race, the impersonal Cosmic Law is such that energy voluntarily contributed from among the race must be shown before we can acquiesce to giving of grants and dispensations!

Everything here and hereafter requires the investment of energy. The further you go upon the pathway of Light, the more priceless is the gift of energy and the gift of Life, and we who hear the plea of a Cosmic Being know the value of his life, know the value of every thought he thinks, every sacred sanctified word that passes his lips, and we cannot imprison those magnificent energies in the physical appearance world, which would be the activity if we were to grant his request and he did not have, in the lower atmosphere, lifestreams whose energies he could use rather than his own.

The higher the Being, the less likely are we to grant the dispensation which will require the condensation and imprisonment of his energies which can be utilized at Cosmic levels, unless there are funnels through which he may direct the Divine Pattern and Plan, and those funnels of consciousness receptive to that plan, use their own energies, and more than that, stimulate the interest of others around them to externalizing that plan.

So when the Beloved Lord of the World presents his petition, and the glorious suggestions that come from the Heart of Shamballa, the Karmic Board looks to see what lifestream will support his plan, will be receptive to it, and if the Lord of the World can show us some such lifestream, then we, in turn, give to him a balance of our energy which matches the energy of the chelas voluntarily offered to the Board. For every chela who gives his energy to sponsor a Cosmic Cause... we give a balance from the Cosmic stockpile and double it.

If, however, the Master, whether it is the Lord of the World or one of the Chohans, or any other God-free Being, has no stepdown-transformer, no chelas in the world of form, who, upon examination, are found worthy and capable of externalizing the Master's plan, we recommend that the Master, in the next six month cycle, endeavor to secure such a connection, and to stimulate the interest, magnetize the interest of some chelas, return in six months time with those chelas in the inner body.

Once again the Master presents the plan, and he says "Here is an individual who is capable of working out the details of my suggested plan, I will give the seed idea ─ as his intuition is developed, his love is developed, his enthusiasm is developed, I am sure he will gather others around him and complete this design".

If that is the case, then we look at the inner bodies of the chela, examine them well, and if we find that the Master is going to have the assistance, we will grant that petition.

It is a very difficult assignment because we in our God-free estate see the need. We see the condition of your Earth. We see the short span of time in which this tremendous task is to be accomplished. Every plan, naturally, that comes to us from the Ascended Host is magnificent, and yet it is all determined by how much enthusiasm and voluntary energy can be contributed by unascended beings. When the Beloved Masters have so few to assist them to externalize their plan, century after century, we have had to deny the opportunity for them to fulfill it!

One of the most important of the chains, we would say, that binds our hands, is the mass karma of the race. Those of you who are interested in securing dispensations, if you will work on the removal through the Violet Fire of the mass karma of the race, it will be greatly appreciated.

When you present your petitions, you, too, are examined - and if you are given the grant, you must help to fulfill that grant. But if the petitions are written lightly, hoping that some other part of Life is going to fulfill them, no matter how magnificent they are, we cannot grant them unless an Ascended Being takes them up and stands Sponsor for them and offers them as his own.

You must, if you write a petition, remember what you have asked for and then incorporate it into your daily application - this you must make clear in your own mind before you burn your petitions. That petition then becomes part of your responsibility to Life, and it would be granted if your soul and spirit and self-agree, at least for the coming year, to use some of your daily energy in endeavoring to manifest it.
