THE BRIDGE TO FREEDOM, INC.                                                                        September  1968

Children of My Heart: 

As I turned my attention Earthward to look into the hearts of my so loved chelas to ascertain what counsel I could give them at this hour to assist them in their advancement on the Pathway of Life, I concluded that a Release which it was my privilege to give when I held the Office of the Maha Chohan would be most apropos. It is given to you herewith in its entirety: 

My Beloved Wayfarers: 

Remember that, in spiritual endeavors, the Leader sometimes seems more beset with shadows than the group which Life has entrusted him to lead to safety. You know that, in any army, the General is the focus toward which the foe directs all of its efforts, for if the Commander is removed, as a rule, confusion is apt to result. 

There must be a focus of strength and intense Light to lead the followers to Victory. In Nature's Kingdom, if the lead horse or the captain of the sheep is snared, the flock is helpless. 

The forces that seek to distort and destroy my years of work in bringing through to this world of form the understanding of Light, do not take the time nor the effort to attack the rank and file of my students. These forces, knowing that, if in the various locations, the leaders or those with the greater grasp and understanding of my work can be destroyed or discouraged, the chelas will disband for lack of confidence on the part of the leaders to guide them aright. Because there has been such an attempt to weaken the tremendous service rendered at this point of the Earth's evolution, be assured, and not discouraged, for from the beginning of time, the Light has never proceeded without opposition. Remember - that it was not one of the disciples, but rather the Focus of Light, our Ascended Master Jesus, who was seized in the Garden of Gethsemane. 

All through the ages, it has been the General of standing who was the focal point for the forces that sought to destroy the work. Now I say to you that the forces so seeking are doomed to failure and to public ridicule, my chelas who have persevered, and who are my knights in shining armor, shall find a sustaining power from the Cosmic Law which has never been allowed up until this moment. Across the Earth, where this Teaching flows, you will find that my pioneers of Light are standing firm under the lash of opposing forces, and when that destructive activity ceases (which is in the not too distant future), the leaders - each of you, my beloved chelas, will then gather in the weary souls by the thousands. So persevere and know that never yet, in this embodiment or in others, have you found that All-seeing One Within wanting. Every soul who has loyally served the Holy Spirit has, at some time, uttered the great cry of our Beloved Jesus: "Father, father, why hast thou forsaken me?" Then they have seen, with him, the Glory of Victory. So - onward and upward to VICTORY! I travel with you every step of the Way!
