Beloved Chelas,

It is important to remember a central fact that exists in any work which you are doing in cooperation with the Ascended Masters and other Beings Who dwell in the Octaves of Light. This fact is: The work of the Ascended Masters is perfect! There is never a flaw in Their work, or Their instructions, as they are given to the octave in which unascended Beings dwell.

Your work, on the other hand, can only be the very best that you can offer! Occasionally, it may be perfect, or very close to perfect, but, as you probably have already discovered, there can be gaps between the perfection you picture in your minds, and the "finished product", when it finally comes into manifestation. Sometimes, it may seem to be so long in coming into manifestation, and all too frequently, it may not manifest at all!

The most important thing to remember is: do your very best! No one else can know what your “very best” is. This is truly known only to your Holy Christ Self, and the Ascended One with whom you are working at the time. Consequently, I ask that you do not go to others for their opinion of how you are doing with your work, especially as it connects with the Octaves of Light. Just go within to the "Master" who lives within your heart.

If you steadily and systematically do your best, eventually you will most assuredly reach your goal of perfection! I can guarantee it! You cannot know when this moment will occur. As surely as you may think it approaches, you will most likely trip over your own feet, in a manner of speaking! It doesn't matter, but it is to let you know how little you know! Every once in awhile, human consciousness kicks into gear and tries to take over once again. Rememberthe personal ego dies hard!

One of the things it loves to do is to whisper in your ear "you are doing so well! Keep up the good work! Aren't you glad you have finally learned this lesson?", etc., etc., etc.,! I feel a smile in every one of you! You know exactly what I'm talking about! So be it! You know I love you, and never speak to harm you or hurt you in any way. I AM happy to say to you that I see you thinking along these same lines, and also trying harder in your relationships. This warms My Heart!

Our chelas have great depths of sincerity, and great depths of love, as well. It is not an easy matter to overcome the human ego. If it were, it would not be called "Mastery"! Keep that in mind, to comfort yourselves when you forget the rules once in awhile!

One of the other things you may overlook sometimes is that of cultivating the God-Quality of Happiness. Last year (1989) Lord Ling worked with all of you, and advised you truthfully that Happinessor any God Quality, for that matter, must be developed by you. It is not just "dropped in your lap", although there is a large percentage of humanity that believes this. I speak the truth about this! A chela knows better, but many believe that to be on the Path of Spiritual Consciousness isor should bea long and unbroken highway of everything you ever thought you wanted or neededdropped in your world with no effort, except keeping a positive frame of mind. While I certainly recommend keeping a positive frame of mind, I will say that those who constantly ask for "signs" as proof of their spiritual progress, have not yet come a long distance upon the Path of Light.

We speak and speak to you, and We prod you into progress! Sometimes you believe We are irritating you into action! Now I will ask you to contemplate this bit of advice, for it is extremely important. Take a few moments from time to time every day to thank God for your irritations, interruptions, and whatever you may feel annoyed by from time to time, because these are the very things you need the most in your individual lives to keep you moving. Remember the decree you worked with for a whole year recently"Alive, alert, awake and active!"? Remember how energized you felt each time you gave that?

Dear Ones, any man who believes the path to self- mastery is easy, or that it ever ends during your physical existence and experience, does not yet understand what is involved! For centuries you have had the opportunity to develop self-mastery, and to experiment with your life- energy. When you finally arrive at the point where you know that you alone are responsible for your life situationslike it or notwhy would you think that it would suddenly be easy? Anything that is too easy just does not give satisfaction in the same way that a bit of struggle produces! Think about it!

Since the first time you can recall having consciously stepped on the Path of Light, what would you say is the most important awareness you have experienced on a consistent basis? Wouldn't you say it is simply the awareness itself? Consciousness! that's the answer!

It makes everything worth the struggle! Consciousness brings depths of love, satisfaction, gratitude, happinessI could go on and on, and you know this is Truth! God loves every human being! Isn't the Joy of this fact in the knowing of it? God is Love, but if you aren't conscious of that fact, it cannot act in your life! Nothing else will do the job. Sokeep on keeping on! It is the only reason for being, and as you become more and more conscious, the rewards are so great thatas a Great Master once said"There is so much more I could tell youbut you could not bear it as yet!"

Keep on doing your best, and KNOW YOU ARE LOVED! Your Friend,

Dwjal Khul
