"I Am" grateful that the experiences of life are such that you want, at last, to complete your cycle of birth and re-birth and are willing to co-operate, according to your light, with those who can and will help you.

Do you realize that a chart of the progress of the average man over the period of a year would look like the rise and fall of the sea, every constructive emotion, thought, memory, word and action raising the vibratory action of that lifestream and, conversely, every discordant activity lowering it again? We are in the process of teaching you how to sustain that ASCENDING CURRENT of energy through the use of your own four lower bodies, directed by your God-given freewill. A Sponsor from the Ascension Temple will help you in this service (if you will call him daily) so that there need no longer be the dip and the rise of the vibrations of your energy; instead, the manifesting of the steady quickening of the vibratory action of all your vehicles. Take advantage of proximity to the Ascension Flame and its faithful Hierarch, Serapis Bey. FEEL the buoyancy of that Flame and allow it to help you. I decree that all fear of self-discipline be removed from you and that the JOY you know in the Ascension Temple will make you continue to visit It until your own Beloved "I AM" Presence calls you "Home!"  

Love and Blessings.

MAHA CHOHAN

GROUP INSTRUCTION FOR TRANSMISSION CLASS

(Note: For the last four months we have given you the addresses of the Directors of the Forces of the Elements and this has necessitated the omission of some of our regular material. The "Group Instruction Letter" to our gentle readers is here continued from the Oct. 1956 issue of our journal and also refers to Beloved Saint Germain's address in the issue of January 1957. Since the jewel (birthstone) of February is the Amethyst, this material corresponds nicely. Thank you for an understanding heart.)

February 16, 1957

BELOVED FRIENDS OF LOVE, MAKING READY THE

PATHS OF LIGHT FOR EARTH'S PEOPLE: 

God bless you in your voluntary task of helping to clear the way for those who follow after you, seeking their "Home" of beauty, happiness, limitless supply of every good thing and eternal peace longed and prayed for by all men since the so-called "fall of man". Now, we call upon each one of you individually the full glory of that beautiful, all-powerful Father-Mother God, all the perfection which you once knew with that Father before the world was. 

Previously we spoke about God's Will being good for all mankind. Then, if God be all-powerful and his Will is good, how did his beloved people come into their present expressions of such distress? Because of their use of the gift of free will with which that Father-Mother God endowed mankind in the beginning. That free-will was originally intended to be used to create, sustain and expand only beautiful patterns of substance in loveliness of design and texture for the delightful use of all. When the shadows came upon the Earth and the people forgot their Source as well as the reason for this constructive use of the free-will, imitation of the forms created from the shadows of careless and destructive thought and feeling began to be prevalent, continuing all through the ages, a great deal of the time with less and less perfection. Therefore, mankind themselves are the cause of the present predicaments in which they are living today, all brought about by the deliberate turning away from the God of Love who made them and his way of purity and perfection, which they knew in the beginning. 

In order to sustain a magnificent, well-ordered Universe such as the one which we can see all around us, particularly at night as we look into the myriad Stars which make up the "Milky Way" alone, there must be some regulating Laws which govern them and keep them in their appointed places, manifesting their own perfect Divine Plan. Just so were the Laws of Life given to mankind in the beginning of his advent upon this planet "The Golden Rule" being one of the most important and perhaps, the best remembered of these. "The Ten Commandments" are also a part of those Laws and, incidentally, no one ever "broke" any one of those Commandments! Mankind have "broken" themselves in health, finances, happiness and in every other way by disobedience to those Commandments but "The Ten Commandments" stand today as "unbroken" as they were when first they came forth from God! 

Now, there is a very merciful and speedy release and relief from the conditions in which mankind find themselves today, individually and collectively. They have but to consciously turn back again to the loving God who made them and, incidentally, he is not far away! The life of that God-Presence (which is your consciousness!) is anchored right within each one's beating heart and if we will obey the command which has been given us: "Be still! and know that I AM God" we shall again come to know peace of mind, health of body and supply in our affairs, as we rhythmically continue such a practice. 

In the January issue of our little Journal, Beloved Saint Germain has spoken of "Readiness". There is a very wonderful way to be ready which, perhaps, most folks don't think about. It is the "readiness" to forgive! Since every one of us still abiding in this world has made mistakes and done some wrong to someone, sometime, somewhere, would it not be fitting for each of us walking the Path of Light to train ourselves this year to be "ready", ready to forgive, especially if that feeling does not come easily to us? You know "To err is human to forgive is Divine". When someone asks for forgiveness, let us be quick to give it for, in this way, we gain quicker forgiveness of our own mistakes from the Great Law. Remember Jesus' prayer: "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors..." and just so does the Law act, dear gentle reader. If you find it difficult to forgive yourself and others, use, use, use that blessed Violet Transmuting Flame every day and accept its feeling of Christ forgiveness, for that is its very nature! Try it! It costs nothing and it works! The persistent use of that Flame will make and keep us all ready to fulfill our Divine Plan here and then "enter into the joy of our Lord" at the end of the trail! 

Making ready for greater service to life,

"I AM" FRANCES K. EKEY
