This week I would like to elucidate a subject which, perhaps, has not come to your thought and, not being presented in the mind, could not be meditated upon for the enrichment of the spiritual nature. It is in regard to service and the balance that the lifestream can voluntarily pay to the Universal Law of Love in order to ensure freedom from the wheel of birth and re-birth.
You have been told that the Cosmic Law has offered to balance 49% of the debt each lifestream owes to life through the misqualification of pure God-energy. This is done through the cosmic expansion of the Sacred Fire through the beings and worlds of evolving humanity. This means that 51% or a little over half of the energy of the individual must have gone forth in a constructive manner (not necessarily in a spiritual way) before the pendulum of your life's experience swings toward freedom from the magnetic pull of earth and the things of earth, and your ascension is assured.
Now, we must understand that all lifestreams are not alike. For instance, a powerful, forceful, intense person releases ten times the energy that a lethargic and placid individual would emit. Therefore, the quantity of energy cannot be measured equably with regard to every evolving spirit. Strong spirits who have incarnated from the beginning of manifest time have released sometimes as much as five hundred times the energy that has been released by the masses and for that reason fifty-one percent of the energy of these "hard-living" individuals is uncomfortably more than fifty-one percent of those who have not lived life so intently. This is true of all outstanding individuals since the beginning of time, and, therefore, the Law of Life, which is inexorable, requires the release of as much constructive energy as the destructively qualified energy released by these people in the past.
Looking at this picture objectively, one is inclined to become a little weighted down with a sense of responsibility and futility, but this need not be, because the lifestream who has built a momentum of drawing and charging a large amount of energy can balance his debt much more quickly, because his every gesture, every word, every movement, releases the momentum of energy he has built in the past and he may build his account for good in the Causal Body as rapidly as he has built the chains in the past, when he is willing to face the score written against him on the Book of Life and return the energy passing through him daily as a balance. On reading these lines some might regret the enthusiasm and zeal that prompted them to incur such large obligations, but let me assure these people, that in drawing the larger amount of life energy they were merely following the promptings of their Divine Nature, as their future destiny lies, for the most part, in the cosmic field of service.
It is my endeavor to show you that the Ascension is a practical activity that is taking place through your hourly living and not just a transcendent burst of glory at the end of the earth life predicated on nothing. It is safe to say that all those lifestreams who have rallied to Saint Germain's banner have rendered valuable service to life in the past and it is for this reason that the Cosmic Law has permitted you to have this private instruction now, wherein your balance to life can be paid in Cosmic Service while you still walk the earth, through your decrees and calls for the freedom of life everywhere on this planet. Weary not, therefore, in your Spiritual Service, for every ounce of energy used in this endeavor is accepted by your higher mental body as partial payment of your individual debt to life.
Now, when we say that fifty-one percent of the energy of the lifestream must be balanced harmoniously, many people think that the only way this can be done is through devotion, prayer, ceremonial service and solemn invocations directly concerned with spiritual aspiration. I would remind you, however, that all constructive and harmonious energy is a natural expression of the God Life, whether it be the singing of a happy child or the dancing of happy feet; whether it be the loving service of friend to friend or the constructive creation of a bench, a chair or a garment.
All those expressions are expressions of the Holy Spirit whom I Am privileged to represent. All constructive activity and service are faucets of my Consciousness and they are all accepted by the Cosmic Law as a balance for each lifestream, wherein that one may ascend into his Eternal Glory.
The passing of human experiences, however, have grown so heavy that in the course of a natural life, sometimes there are less than twenty or thirty hours wherein the energy of the people is qualified harmoniously enough to become part of the constructive balance of that lifestream, and at the close of the earth life when the book is read, after all the vicissitudes of years of living, the Higher Mental Body has but a fragmentary balance of good and a heavy balance of unhappy energy, which shows that the soul has made so little progress on the spiritual ladder toward freedom. Therefore, aside from all the great spiritual knowledge of service and work which we have opened to your consciousness, there are so many homely things that a lifestream can do in the course of daily living to engender the leaping of the Flame in another heart and the release of a burst of constructive energy from that one which the Higher Mental Body immediately seizes and adds to the constructive balance.
For instance, the baking of a cake, the bringing of a flower to an ill person, or rendering some fleeting small service to lighten the burden of a lonely heart is a service of Comfort and the resulting happiness to the recipient is very often the only energy that the Higher Mental Body of that lifestream could use in that entire embodiment. Therefore, any individual who is the means by which another person releases even an ounce of happy energy has given him an eternal gift, because in a far distant day that energy which you coaxed into harmonious expression may be just the ounce required by the Presence of that one to bring the balance over the fifty percent limit and take such an one home. Can you see then, how intricately are woven the threads of different individuals' lives and how potent a force you are in your environment and community which is either generating good karma for those around you or adding to their chains.
I would suggest then that you keep watch on yourself over say, a twelve hour period and see if more than fifty percent of your energy was qualified harmoniously. If the answer is yes, then you are making progress - if not, you will see there is a certain amount of retrogression which must be balanced later. I could go on and on, giving you these homely illustrations by which you may add to the treasures held in your Causal Body against the day when you will stand yourself before the Karmic Board and render an account of what you have done with the God-Life entrusted to your care. Let your Light shine before men.
Love and Blessings,
THE MAHA CHOHAN
