Address by
BELOVED MOTHER MARY
February 5, 1954
Beloved children, I come to bring to you my love and gratitude for
your deep interest in life and to endeavor through conveyed consciousness to
show you ways and means by which your individual worlds might again be set into
Divine order. I do this that you may find yourselves conductors of that Presence
of God which mentally you have accepted as filling this universe but which
requires the confirmation of your feelings to be ever active through you into
this world of form.
In a measure, each of you is a bridge conducting the consciousness
of the Inner Realms into the world of form and acting as mediators (even as I do
at inner levels) between the fullness of God and the Intelligences which
represent him and the mass mind.
Mankind may rebel all they wish at the necessity for mediation
between the fullness of the Godhead and the outer consciousness. However, the
Law of Life and the Intelligence that governs the great universal scheme of
creation, has provided, these "step-down" transformers in mercy. This is done so
that those who voluntarily and consciously descended into the pit might have a
chain of energy over which the blessings, the mercy and the very spiritual life
(which sustains their souls) may flow. In time, over such a chain of energy
(when the voluntary energies of their own worlds so desire) they may ascend
again into their rightful estate and assume their places as sons and daughters
of the most high living God.
Even as the spider weaves out of his body the web and uses it as a
means of transportation to and from, so is the bridge of life energy woven out
of the very Essence of Divinity. It is carried by the Messengers and the
lifestreams who may have only a partial connection with the Realm of Perfection,
in order to infiltrate the consciousness, stimulate a love for Truth and,
wherever possible, act as instruments of Faith by which works may be manifest.
Each of you has developed (over the ages and through the centuries)
certain momentums that make you conductors for specific qualities that represent
the nature of God. These momentums are your individual and voluntary gift to
life. They are the treasures stored up in Heaven. They are that part of you
which we can use to externalize our work and service in the world of form. They
are the only part of any lifestream with which we are concerned. It is our
desire at all times to emphasize and externalize more and more of the nature of
God through the "leaven" in the individual lifestream. This "leaven" may be
faith, purity, peace, happiness, or it may be a momentum of teaching or healing.
These examples are just to give you a "bird's-eye" picture, you might say, of
the way we in the Hierarchy work in drawing around ourselves certain:
lifestreams who we feel can best serve the Divine Plan in cooperation with our
life. We then endeavor to connect our energies with these individuals through
whatever means are at hand.
We connect our energies with mankind by radiation, through the
contemplation by your blessed selves in thinking upon our Presence. We also
connect our radiation with your consciousness through the spoken word at the
rare intervals when life allows us this privilege. In every instance, every
Perfected Being who lives within the Kingdom, contacts unascended beings solely
to expand the borders of the Kingdom; to expand the radiation of perfection and
to draw more light and more of the God gifts into this world of form, into the
psychic and astral realm which forms the atmosphere of your planet.
My service to life has been connected with the creation of the heart
through which the Sacred Fire is focused into the physical appearance world,
giving identity and being to a personality for a time it is an interesting
service that perhaps can be elaborated upon. You use it yourselves in this
Activity to create a heart-center, made up of living cells, living intelligent
beings having free will. However, this is different from the heart made up of
intelligent energy sworn to obedience, which is the physical heart of an
individual.
When the lifestream is given the grant of securing a new Earth body,
and when the Lords of Karma have passed on it, that lifestream is drawn into my
Temple. Together we look over the substance and energy which the soul has used
(oh! perhaps through eons of time). This is the personal heritage endowed by
nature to that soul to form the envelope in which it must function.
As I have said before, we endeavor first to fashion (from that
elemental substance) the heart, which is the chalice for the Immortal Threefold
Flame of Life. The heart cells in the physical body are the most highly
developed of the elemental substances that make up the physical form because, in
the course of their service to life, they require more resistance and more
durability, in order to stand the beat which gives life to the physical body.
Therefore, from among all the elemental substance which will form the flesh
garment, the most highly developed electrons are used in the heart. These are
drawn into the body of the prospective mother and become part of the flesh of
her form, even before conception takes place. Then through that marvelous
intelligence of the Builders of Form, the heart cells belonging to the new soul
are segregated from the body of the mother, always discarding the substance
which is of the parent. In this way, the substance which is of the new soul
makes this exquisite chalice enfolding the ThreeFold Flame of Life.
It is such a beautiful, mathematical and scientifically accurate
process that I would love to show you in pictures on a screen the precision with
which the Builders of Form magnetize the substance belonging to the incoming
soul and cast off again, again and again one cell out of every two, until this
heart is formed.
In exactly the same measure and manner, the cells that are to form
the spiritual heart of a community, a Movement, a great nation, a planet, a
universe or a galaxy, are selected from the lifestreams who have developed the
greatest endurance and the greatest purity. These have earned through ages of
time the privilege and honor of forming the canopy of protection around the
Sacred Fire which is to be drawn forth and expanded for the blessing of the
masses.
From the great body of mankind, there are not available too many
cells that can be used for a spiritual heart. From within the spiritually
attuned and elect, we find seven distinct types of individual momentums and
consciousness which could be utilized in the seven ganglionic centers of the
Spiritual Body of the Christ. These people respond to the impetus of a New
Activity. They know that they are destined, you might say, to become a part of
some vital organ in a great current endeavor, whether it be a World Movement or
a local political activity. In that response they sometimes apply for a position
within the heart, although they belong to another center. The same spiritual
segregation goes on constantly, drawing in the heart cells, purifying them,
fitting them one by one into their perfect place. Then endeavoring harmoniously,
if possible, to draw the other cells into their own vital organism.
This is the activity in which you are engaged today, beloved ones.
More or less, you are the substance being formed by the Hands and Hearts of
Intelligences greater than your own. In this great scheme of things each one has
his perfect place. We who can see, have designed so carefully the creation of
the Spiritual Heart. This will be the supplier of the energies to vitalize this
great Spiritual Body that is to be the Cosmic Christ of the future, made up of
every one of the ten billion souls destined to incarnate and develop mastery on
the planet.
The creation of a heart is the most crucial point in the creation of
a physical organism. It is also a most crucial point in the creation of a
spiritual organization. It requires tremendous application upon the part of each
and every lifestream who has been "summoned" by the Law, and who has been even
loosely fitted into the design.
As I have been honored this year by being given opportunity to reach
the masses, I am also honored by the opportunity of working with those of you
who choose to see the design behind the seeming chaos and confusion. I shall
endeavor, (as my own momentum allows and the wisdom of my centuries of forming
hearts permits), to help you in your task.
In the physical body, if at the time of gestation, the cells that
are to form the seven great centers might not polarize properly (for some reason
or other) or are not held within their orbit perfectly, you have a physical
instrument of incarnation that is defective in one or many ways.
The spiritual sorting (wherein every lifestream takes his perfect
place and abides therein) is essential before we can expand the endeavor to
raise and redeem the masses and purify all discordantly qualified functions in
the spiritual body of the race.
We are in a secret and sacred time, a time when I, myself,
remembering my own experience, suggest that you ponder these things in your
heart. Pray on them, ask the grace of your own Christ Self to illumine them to
you and then strain not, but endeavor to be the best cell that you can in your
appointed place.
I have thought it would be a pleasurable gift to life this year to
endeavor to record some of the heretofore unchronicled experiences of our life
in Judea. From time to time as opportunity permits, I will bring to your
remembrance certain of these homely pictures and scenes. Then perhaps through
your kind assistance and love you may compile them and give them to those who
choose to have them as the gift of Mary in 1954.
(Note: This has been done and the memoirs of Beloved
Mother Mary are presently in process of compilation for early printing.)
