Everyone has being, it is true, but few are aware of the truth of that Being, and this is what the gift of concentration must be used to discover. The truth of yourself is that you are created in the Divine Image and Likeness of the One Universal Consciousness, and that is the very fact which has fallen into unconsciousness, until you have come to believe that the physical and intellectual experiences are your reality.

One must, upon realizing Truth of Being, start somewhere in the task of removing all the masks they have assumed as they move away from their own Divine Self. The tool is concentration.

There are sister qualities which are important in the process of uniting with the Divine Self. The first is Consecration, for it is absolutely necessary that you dedicate all of your energy and attention to this work.

The second quality is Truth, because before you can reunite with your True Self, there will be the necessity of facing some lesser truths, and this may not be a pleasant process. However, it is absolutely necessary to leave the past in order to embrace the present and future reality of Unity with your I AM Presence, and it is worth any sacrifice that may be required along the path.

Healing, a major quality of the Fifth Ray is the natural result of the process of rediscovering your true Identity, for there is nothing within it but perfect radiant healthiness and harmony! Conversely, one has only to remember that dis-ease and discomfort go hand-in-hand with deception, and all that is not of the light must be stripped away from you.

Of course, you have all begun this task, and all of us within the Octaves of Light are assisting you in every way that is open to us.

You know the law which states that the call for assistance must come from you, and that law is being complied with rhythmically, for which we are grateful. The power of dedication cannot be overestimated at this time, especially for the purpose of clearing the astral realm of the dark forms which have been created out of the collective consciousness.

One of the most interesting facts of consciousness is that your individual consciousness is linked to all other self-conscious life, be it human, Divine or of the darkness. You exist in a realm where all energy which has ever been spent by humanity surrounds you at all times. Because you can never destroy energy, it exists within the level, or strata, to which it belongs, until it is either transmuted and returned to the Godhead for repolarization, or strengthened and intensified where it already is by other energies which are similar to it.

If you think about it for a moment, you will realize that you may either choose which level you wish to experience consciously, or you can just float about from one level to another according to the whim of your emotional and mental bodies. The tool of concentration gives you the power of conscious choice as to where you want to be and what you want to experience at all times!

Because you are connected to all consciousness within your sphere of experience, you must take charge of your individual consciousness, and extricate it from the mass consciousness. Then you may work with it until it is strong enough as individual consciousness to withstand the pressures of negativity which exist within the collective consciousness. This is an extremely difficult task, and without the assistance of the Forces of Light, it might well be impossible to attainment! That is precisely why it is imperative to use the power of unity at this time. It takes this kind of integrated and definite use of energy to shatter those dark forms which otherwise attempt to seize and bind your consciousness to them to continue their destructive existence.

The power of directing is tremendous in clearing the mass consciousness of darkness, transmuting it to Light, and returning such energies to the One Universal Consciousness once more! I will remind you that your individual energy is powerful, but your collective energy is formidable! When it is used to transmute and purify, connecting with the Forces of Light, it will be the saving Grace of the Earth!

I have stated earlier that we will always help you in any way we can because your every call to the Light, and your every attempt to work with the Light insures that this Sacred Partnership is established and will endure so long as you desire it!

The Angelic Legions are those to whom you should convey your deepest sense of gratitude, for they are with you always, remaining within your auras around the clock. This is a sacred duty they have volunteered for, and their work will not be abandoned until every man, woman and child upon the Earth stand free within the Light! When the attending angels must leave your auras to return to the Central Sun to recharge their energies, others come, ready to step in and be with you. With your inner vision, if you could see the work that is done, you would be amazed!

The work of the chelas has been greatly stepped up, and according to the terms of partnership with us, all the Forces of Light then increase and intensify their efforts as well. These blessed Angels strip the darkness from your auras, and from your four lower vehicles with their own hands, and then direct their Light into your auras to help keep you protected, purified, and open to the gifts of Light which are constantly poured forth from all Higher Beings and Cosmic Beings of Light. They come from every Sphere, as their qualities are called for and required, but as you might well understand, most of them are from the First and Seventh Spheres. In great part, your intensified work on a rhythmic basis with Healing services has drawn multitudes of Angels from the Fifth and Sixth Spheres as well. More information and understanding will be forth-coming about all these activities, and the Temples involved.

Let your hearts be lifted up, and your joy be greatly magnified, for the Light Loves you beyond words and description, and I come to encourage and strengthen you - each one - with many gifts and numerous teachings. Hold your attention upon this Light during this coming year, and it will embrace you!

Essence of Consecration

I speak from my Heart of Love and Consecration to each one of you. I remind you that when you are taught that all life is ONE, we are referring to the ESSENCE of Life, and not to its expression. You are ONE with God and all life throughout the Universe at the center of your Being. There, the life force remains always at perfection. It is like a well filled with the pure water of Spirit. You may draw from it, and you may create with it as you wish. The creations you make may not appear as perfect, but the Spirit from which they are created is pure. Always - at the well - the life force is pure, unchanging, and bottomless, for the well of life can never run dry.
