Conscious Invocation of God’s Desires

The Maha Chohan

December 1973

Individuals with a deep sense of conscientiousness, often drive themselves and others through an intellectual sense of doing that which is right. Thus the work is done in the performance of duty rather than in the joy of service. The Third Ray is primarily concerned with charging the feeling worlds of those upon The Path with the LOVE of SERVICE... Thus, all that is done is charged with the pressure and energy of the emotional world, and there is no sense of exhaustion or depletion in such activity. Where Love is, there can be no conflict between moral right and personal desires. Cultivate the invocation of the Beloved Archangel Chamuel's Pink Ray of loving adoration to God. Invoke the direction of that Ray into your own emotional bodies and feel the joy that comes when God's desires motivate your individual and collective service in the cause of common good.

El Morya

When the conscious mind is opened to the Will of God, often the mental body accepts as logical and practical the spiritual pathway of purity, love, balance, wisdom and conscious service on behalf of humankind. However, as the far greater part of each individual's energies are held within the emotional body, the desires and feelings will be the predominant governing power of actions - for good or otherwise. When humanity realizes that the Will of God is expressed through the cooperation of the mind with the joyous, buoyant love of the feelings, they will be freed of much unnecessary conflict between what they know should be done and what they actually do!

Kuthumi

Every chela has the opportunity, capacity and responsibility to invoke the desire to do God's Will into their own emotional body. This desire can be directed from the Ascended Host, and form a motivating power within the feeling world which makes service, self-control, self-mastery and sublimation a joy rather that an arduous task of mortification of self. Even as the farmer plants his seed in the good Earth, so shall we - when invited - plant our God desire within the chela's emotional body. Then the chela will find these growing desires to serve, making all their spiritual endeavors a joy.

The cleansing of the emotional body from the gathered momentum of centuries of accumulated human desires, is part of our Service to Life. These desires, many of them unfulfilled in the course of one Earth life, lie smoldering beneath the surface of the conscious mind. Sooner or later they must either be sublimated or externalized. The frustration of human desires but dams up the energy which will break forth through some weakness in the human structure. Sublimation of those desires leaves the soul free from the constant prodding of an invisible but powerful force, which causes actions that the self regrets. Paraphrasing St. Paul, we have the expression of many chelas' condition upon the Path: "The good that I would, I do not, and that which I would not, that I do".
