A Special Address

Beloved Lady Portia

May 9, 1979

Children of Earth, "I AM" the Goddess of Opportunity. OPPORTUNITY - that precious privilege which is yours! Why is it that so often - and for so long - you have ignored the opportunities that have come your way and, as a chela of The Bridge to Freedom, are almost exclusively yours!

I have come today to jolt your consciousness with the full realization that the hour of change is at hand. For years and years we have attempted to infiltrate your beings with this TRUTH! That you now have an unprecedented opportunity to fulfill, THROUGH SERVICE, your obligations to your Father-Mother God, in one lifetime, and return home 'to go out no more'.

You have been chosen from out of the masses as being ready for higher training and thus can be a valuable servant, under the guidance of the Spiritual Hierarchy, while in physical embodiment. As the Golden Age draws nigh, we need so many more helpers in the world of form than we have needed in the past, and unfortunately there are not many that we can utilize. Do you think, for one moment, that just because you are 'the select of the elect' that you are above your neighbor. Not so! It is just that you are more blessed and more privileged than he, and have greater dedication to service than the average.

We have told you in the past that you are 'wayshowers', and thus it means that we require of you to show the WAY... to set an example that all may follow. . . a shining example. . . with Light streaming from your beings for all to see. Do you feel that you are this example? This is a time for self-examination, and this Summer Conference will be a time when we, on the Karmic Board, will also be examining you.

Because of the changes that are shortly to manifest, it has been required of you to commit yourselves truly to the one cause of serving humanity by helping us to bring forth the Permanent New Golden Age. This is what we have been referring to as being the 'Year of Decision'. Each year you have been required to make various decisions preparatory to the upcoming major change.

The decision this year is whether you are really committed to the One Cause of expanding God's Kingdom here on Earth. During special meetings as the Summer Conference of the Spiritual Hierarchy convenes, we shall be looking at each one of you individually and asking you this question... what is your commitment? Can we rely on you? You will be standing as an individual, before the seven of us on the Karmic Board, shorn of all that you hold dear on Earth.

Standing with just your Light and your Book of Life in your hands. Your past record will tell us much as to whether we can rely on you or not, and we shall be examining particularly your Service to the Spiritual Hierarchy while you have been a member of this Activity. . .

We shall examine the information that you have in your mental vehicle and your record will show what you have done with the Truths that we have given you over the years. Ah... there we will see something, no doubt! This will be the most complete  evaluation that we will have ever given you, because in the Light of utilizing you for higher service, we are going to have to overlook some of your present failings. There are very few of you that are truly ready for this higher service, and if we were to go strictly on your past record there would be few left for us to be able to use. As we have reiterated often, God needs a body... and we need your assistance on Earth right NOW.

Do you really have 'Free' Will? We say that we are going to have to take a gamble on you, because in reality we are unable to see into the future. We never know what humanity is going to do next! We are able to plan far ahead, but unfortunately the people of Earth are under the illusion that 'free' will means the choice to do as they please, when in reality it means the Liberty to create FREELY... in Perfection! You are here to learn the incredible power within this Will, and the responsibility it entails.

Because of the gift of freewill, humankind is under the erroneous belief that they have a choice, when in reality they do not! This is what separates the human kingdom from all of the rest. You are each Gods in embryo and are in training now to learn to be like your Creator. You are created in 'His Image', and as such have been endowed with a will that is just as powerful.

God knows no other Will but his, and all evolutions live to serve that Will with the exception of the human evolution which has commandeered that Will for their own ends, in the belief that they can do as they wish, and thus have they diverted the course of Creation.

You have been given total Freedom to do so as you wish, TRUE! But this was for you, to learn to create in Perfection and thus help expand God's Kingdom on Earth. No other evolution has this privilege. You are here to learn how to give all of yourself in Service to the Divine Principle of all Life and serve only to do the Will of God.... nothing else! THERE IS NOTHING ELSE! Anything else is human creation, and does not have the blessing of your Creator. It is therefore a false God and does not have reality. 

Is it not said in the first commandment: 'Thou shalt have no other Gods before me'! and yet humanity still worships at the altar of human creation, and there are times that you do the same. The purpose for which humankind took embodiment was to learn to be able to use their will to create in perfection... just as your Creator does. As I said before, he only knows one Will and that is his and, as you can see from the Creation of Life, that this is truly one of Perfection. You have this same power, the magnitude of this Truth having not yet penetrated your consciousness. When you realize this, you will become aware of the awesome responsibility that is yours as a God 'in training'!

Opportunity is Heaven-sent.... Humanity, through the mis-use of free will, has thus turned away from his God and we (of the Karmic Board) are attempting to turn your faces back to the Source of your Life - your Father-Mother God. Throughout the centuries, we have never given up on you and in Mercy we provide those tests and trials that are your opportunities to redeem yourself and thus expiate some of your karmic debts. Each particle of God's pure energy that you have diverted into channels other than those of perfect creation, MUST be repaid.

It is just like squandering your money on worthless trinkets, baubles and human pleasures... which all of you have done at one time or another. And so, because of this, we arrange to set before you special opportunities through which you may call back those misqualified electrons and send them forth once again only this time in Perfection - redirecting them back to God. Do you not wish that it was easy to get your money back after spending it unwisely on Earth? Does this not show you the Love that your Father in Heaven has for you that he gives you back that which you have spent foolishly. 

All energy that you have sent off in the wrong direction is returned to you for re-direction and thus you have OPPORTUNITY! For each opportunity ignored, we have to find another time when we can provide that opportunity again, and on many occasions this is delayed. Many is the lifestream that has to wait several years... maybe even centuries.... for the right condition to occur again in that same sequence.

We have often said how 'Cosmic Moments strike and then they are gone! These are opportunities of which you should avail yourselves...  opportunities to learn, and to grow in stature. You may never see them again in this embodiment, and the opportunity presented to you may be so crucial to your development as to require that you re-embody to take advantage of the lessons that are being provided for you. Now you wouldn't want that to happen, would you? And so we once again remind you to be constantly ALIVE, ALERT, AWAKE and above all ACTIVE!

OPPORTUNITY - do you realize what that word really means? I was amused to see a definition, as given in a children's dictionary, as being  1) a suitable time; 2) a chance to better oneself. How true this! We, of the Karmic Council, provide the suitable time and in cooperation with the Beloved Lord Divino - the Divine Initiator - we design the tests and initiations that are your 'karma'. You are here on Earth to learn the Law of Life, and the very fact that you have embodiment now is a complete opportunity in itself. You will learn more while you have embodiment than you would in the Inner Realms, so take advantage of this privilege that is yours to have a physical vehicle at this time. Your karma is not punishment, even though it might seem so to you. Karma is the name given to those Opportunities and conditions we place before you that provide "learning experience'.

We realize, only too well, that all of you have been feeling the pressure of this 'learning' lately. This is because we know what the future holds for you and we know what will be required of you. This is why we are requiring of you that self-examination which will make your appearance before us that much easier. As you have been told, THIS IS THE TIME OF DECISION! The TIME OF COMMITMENT to the One Cause. Few, as yet, have made that firm decision and thus the sifting and sorting goes on.

Shortly, the Great White Brotherhood will be selecting those lifestreams on whom they can truly depend, based on the re-commendation of the Karmic Council after we examine you. This will take place at the coming Summer Conference and the decision will be made then. Once the decision is made - whichever one - there will be no turning back! Your Pledge will be your commitment, and we will exact that obligation! It is our fervent desire that not one of the chelas of The Bridge to Freedom be found wanting when 'the call' comes.

We require chelas that are resolute, fearless, constant and strong in the knowledge of the Law and the Truth contained therein. Strong in the face of unbelief and ridicule, and firm in the knowledge that they are manifest examples of the Law in all its Divine attributes. What you know, millions have been seeking for centuries. Yours is an opportunity unprecedented in World History.

Never before has anybody of lifestreams been so privileged as to receive so much personal instruction direct from the Godhead. You have been selected from out of the masses to become exponents of God's Divine Law, and MANIFEST IT in your daily lives. Through Radiation and example, you will be required to help your fellow-man and turn his face back to the Source of his own life. We are giving you extraordinary assistance at this hour, for so-called time is very short. And thus the opportunity is yours. I beg of you not to let one moment slip by without using it to the fullest to learn and to grow. This is the true meaning of OPPORTUNITY!

O, God, let not a lifestream belonging to this evolution fail to recognize any opportunity we set before them. I pray, with all of my Being that, from now on, all will learn from each opportunity so that never will they have to pass this way again. Thus we may more quickly assist you in redeeming the human creation that has been stifling this Planet for so long.

The opportunity is yours... so USE IT! You are more privileged than any other group to know, what you know and as a consequence we expect more of you than those who do not. Are you ready to commit yourself completely to serving God... and ONLY GOD? Are you ready to pledge to us your whole being in service to humanity? Use well these days, prior to your examination, and waste not one precious moment in the miscreation of the human. There is no time for further redemption.

We shall be watching you with great interest, and no doubt we shall be placing before you many learning opportunities to ensure your ultimate readiness for when we ask you those questions. The old saying that 'opportunity never knocks twice' is so often true, so experience life to the fullest according to God's Laws, and know that the sooner the lesson is learned the sooner you can 'Graduate' to higher Service be it on this plane or the next.

God bless you, and keep you, as you journey onwards and upwards back towards your Source.

Lady Portia - Goddess of Opportunity
