An Address by
BELOVED ARIES - Director of the Air Element
Sept. 29, 1957
(Third in the series of Autumn Class of 1956)
I am Aries, the Director (with Thor, my Beloved Twin-flame) of the Air Element
and of the Sylphs those loving, intelligent beings who serve so ceaselessly in
the atmosphere of Earth to keep that air purified enough to allow mankind to
live upon Earth's surface.
If you could see the amount of poison exuded just from the breathing out of
polluted air from the physical bodies of mankind in one twenty-four hour period,
you would realize much more fully the tremendous service which the Sylphs
perform and certainly be much more grateful for it. These blessed beings,
twenty-four hours a day, utilize the purifying powers of the Sacred Fire to keep
mankind and imprisoned Elemental (four-footed creatures) here from poisoning
themselves to the point of causing them to experience so-called "death" just
through inbreathing again their own exhalations.
As you have been told, the atmosphere of Earth has a "ceiling" provided, in
order to keep the dissonance and impurities released from the Earth from jarring
the natural rhythm and harmony of the rest of the Planetary System, as well as
the entire Galaxy to which the Earth belongs. This "ceiling" beyond which no
discord or impurity can rise, is a blessing to the Universe, but it is an added
responsibility to us because it gives us much less space in which to perform the
activities of purification. It also necessitates our calling forth a much more
powerful and therefore quicker purifying action of the Sacred Fire, whereas, if
there were no such "ceiling", the tendency of the radiation from the Earth would
be to rise and eventually transmute its shadows in the Fire of Purity which is
the natural atmosphere of God and in which atmosphere abide the other planets of
this Galaxy. Therefore, we are called upon to act much more quickly in a smaller
area (relatively speaking) to make and keep the atmosphere around the Earth pure
enough to sustain physical existence here.
Life
Here Impossible Without Air
Whenever the Directors of the Air Element and the Sylphs under their command
withdraw from a planet or Star (according to the direction of Cosmic Law), you
soon have a "dead" planet and even plant life cannot live upon it. It was just
such a Cosmic crisis which the Earth faced when Beloved Sanat Kumara interceded
on behalf of the Earth and its evolutions. All through the Universe you can see
drifting those "shells" which were once planets and Stars, from which have been
consciously withdrawn the Directors of the Forces of the Elements and the
Elementals who serve under them. These "shells" of former planets and Stars
finally disintegrate into Cosmic "dust" and return to the Universal. There, the
electrons which made up the former planet or Star may be re-polarized and
returned to the particular Sun from whence they originally came. From there they
are sent forth again at a later time to help create and sustain some new
constructive creation which will benefit the evolutions of the Galaxy or System
which has been chosen for such blessing.
It is a commonly known fact that mankind can live for as long as forty days
without food; approximately twelve days without water; but only about three
minutes without breath (excluding, of course, initiates who have mastered the
art of the suspension of the breath and these are rare in the extreme!) . The
new-born infant, breathing in the first breath, begins his existence in the
physical appearance world. As long as he lives, provision of the life-giving
essence of breath and the purifying of his polluted breath (exhaled from the
body) is our responsibility and obligation. When the individual "I AM" Presence
chooses to withdraw the Silver Cord from a physical form (which "Silver Cord" is
the "life-line" of light substance which comes from the heart of the Presence
and anchors within the heart of the physical body there sustaining the actual
heart-beat) , mankind gives up his last breath and no longer continues to be at
least in the world of form.
All of your men of science, research and aeronautical transportation recognize
the absolute necessity of providing what they loosely term "oxygen" for those
who are to penetrate the stratosphere. This provides a pure and more natural
atmosphere for the pilots to breathe in air more comfortable to their lungs
while they are out of their accustomed vibratory action of Earth. To purify the
entire atmosphere of Earth so that all the life evolving here may be provided
with and sustained by the purity of air which God intended for all in the
beginning, is the end toward which we are working. We are grateful, too, that to
this end we have the marvelous loving cooperation of the Directors of all the
other Elements which serve life and the Beings who serve under them.
Loving
Co-operation Among All who Serve the Earth
The Beloved Neptune and the Undines (of the Water Element) provide the salt
which anchors the substance of air into the lower atmosphere of Earth and gives
assistance to the Sylphs to rise up and out of the polluted air in which they
are compelled to serve. The Beloved Helios and Vesta draw the substance of the
Water Element into the Air, giving the "ballast", so to speak, to the lighter
atmosphere which we provide. By the use of the radiation sent forth from trees
and various plant-life, the Beloved Maha Chohan and the Nature-Kingdom help us
to transmute the exhaled impurities of mankind and the animal kingdom and they
also assist us to purify the ever-increasing fumes, smoke and stenches from
so-called "modern" factories.
The Beloved Thor (my Twin-Flame) moves the great air-masses to the points where
they are needed most, providing cooling breezes for those who may be sweltering
in humid heat; filling the sails of ships becalmed on tide less seas; directing
the purifying energies of the North Wind which carries snow (the beautiful gift
of the Elohim of Purity) to blanket and nourish certain portions of the Earth's
surface preparatory to a new harvest. On the East Wind, Beloved Thor directs the
precipitating clouds which carry the necessary moisture to arid areas. He
directs the soft, warm breezes on the South Wind and the moisture-absorbing
currents which etherealize excessive precipitation and dry up waters which are
in their wrong place. It is certainly one of the tragedies of mankind's
expressed consciousness that Beloved Thor has been pictured as a great bloated
figure, directing destructive energies through the wind to beset already
distraught mankind!
My service is to provide the essence of air! Like Neptune and Virgo, the events
of the ages have required that I lower the vibratory action of the electrons
which make up the Air Element so that the lungs of man could absorb, utilize and
benefit by its use. Beloved Thor's activity is to move that Air in kindness and
wisdom wherever it is necessary to give the greatest blessings to the Earth and
its evolutions.
Like the other Directors of the Elements, after the shadows of mankind's
discordant creations came upon the Earth, we had to draw forth much more power
and God-control to handle the Beings of our Element, the Sylphs. These have
built all through the centuries an ever-increasing momentum of resentments and
rebellions against mankind because of his ingratitude for their service to him,
as well as the continued careless and thoughtless pollution of the Air Element
by human effluvia and that of mankind's ingenious power plants and manufacturing
units. Beloved Hilarion and the Brotherhood at Crete have helped us considerably
by directing into the outer consciousnesses of certain sensitive individuals of
research and ability, the practical ways and means of dissolving much of the
pollution of the Air Element through mechanization. We bless Beloved Hilarion
and his Brotherhood, as well as those unascended ones who have devoted their
lives to this process of purification, i.e., placing smoke-consumers on the
smoke stacks of great factories, this being but one example of their expressed
endeavors.
"Prana"
- Essential for Spiritual Development
Within the Air are so many spiritual forces which the average individual uses
not at all. By some, this spiritually simulating energy is called "prana" and
that was the "food ye know not of" of which Beloved Jesus spoke. This sustained
him, not only during his temporal "fast" in the wilderness but also throughout
the course of his strenuous ministry. Lord Gautama (former Buddha) also used the
essence of "prana" to keep alive his physical body while he was away from it in
the course of his long vigil, seeking Truth by the elevation of his
consciousness.
The average member of the human race responds only to the almost involuntary
inhalation and exhalation of the breath as regulated by the Holy Christ Self and
the Body Elemental. The short, hurried, shallow breaths of man do sustain a
certain amount of life within the physical body but do little to spiritually
vitalize and nourish it. We do call now that mankind awaken again to the
absolute necessity for developing the rhythmic breath, drawing deeply upon the
spiritual energies in the atmosphere all about him; digesting the nourishment of
the essence; expanding it and then giving, in turn, a blessing to the Air as he
breathes out the purified breath from his body.
These simple exercises on the breath which have been presented to the student
body (See July 1956 issue of "The Bridge") WERE GIVEN WITH A PURPOSE! Upon the
utilization of these exercises (with the absolute certainty of resultant
purification and energizing of the four lower bodies of the individual who uses
them), depends the release of a further and more intricate explanation of how
man (with the co-operation of his outer consciousness) can use the breath to
hasten his spiritual expansion. As in all spiritual practices, there are certain
deeper aspects of the Law which cannot safely be used without the presence and
instruction of a trained Guru. Those who foolishly rush ahead on the premise
that the human ego can and will be able to provide the necessary control over
forces released by exercises which should be used only while in the presence of
the Master, will find to their personal sorrow that they had better master the
few basic breaths than unleash powers and forces which they cannot safely,
intelligently nor positively control.
As in the other Kingdoms, in ages past, many individuals learned how to use the
breath to sustain life in the body for long periods of time in order to be able
to perform certain feats of so-called "magic", thereby gathering around
themselves great masses of credulous people. Becoming more bold, such
individuals invoked certain of the Sylphs to assist them in the producing of
phenomena which awed the people. These Sylphs, (like the Salamanders and
Undines) became attached to the lifestreams of the individuals who had so
invoked them and followed such individuals through many embodiments ... thus
becoming often the master of the individual rather than his servant. Bold,
blustery individuals usually have either the presence of such a Sylph or a
momentum of such a Sylph's power in their auras.
Call
on Law of Forgiveness
Let us pause here while you make the call for the freedom of every lifestream
belonging to Earth's evolutions still unascended, from any inharmonious
association with a Sylph who has chosen, temporarily, to use God's energy
destructively. Let us call for the freedom of all Sylphs from the tendencies and
desires to further follow the destructive patterns set up by mankind in the
obedient consciousness of these Elementals. Let us call on the Law of
Forgiveness for every member of this evolution who has either consciously or
unconsciously used the Air Element or the Sylphs for a selfish or destructive
purpose, so that the cause, effect, record and memory of such unholy
partnerships may be removed from the Etheric Realm and the Air Element be
returned to its natural beneficent service to this planet and Its people.
Now, many lifestreams on this planet have also been a party to consciously or
unconsciously shutting off the capacity to breathe in God's good Air and
suffocation ensued, causing the "death" of whatever living form was so involved.
Such destructive records still live in the etheric bodies of those evolving on
this planet. Call on the Law of Forgiveness for your own and others'
participation in any and all of such unfortunate experiences; then call on the
same Law of Mercy, Compassion and Forgiveness to wipe out all the destructive
karma for all other lifestreams who must use Earth as their schoolroom, now and
in the future.
Call on the Law of Forgiveness, too, for any and all Sylphs who have lended
themselves to the perpetration of mischief (from those who, with the Undines,
cause the great hurricanes, typhoons, etc. all the way to the smaller and
mischievous Sylphs who blow off awnings and who are likely "candidates" for
greater destructive activities in the future!)
There are many charlatans in embodiment here now, as well as many who will be
coming into embodiment here in the future and these will have a desire to use
their knowledge of the control of the breath for destructive purposes. With your
assistance, we are endeavoring now to remove their desire and capacity to so use
this knowledge to further enslave the people. There are also, of course, many
fine teachers who have the knowledge of the right use of the exercises of
rhythmic breathing and these can, do now and will in the future open to mankind
much of the spiritual perfection which can be his by the right use of breathing
exercises. Again it requires great discrimination and wisdom on the part of the
chela. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO EXPERIMENT WITH THAT OF WHICH YOU KNOW ALMOST NOTHING!
During these four days of Class, we are primarily concerned with the
purification of the entire atmosphere of Earth and the removal of the "veil of
maya" (which is an accumulation of shadowed substance abiding right within the
brain structure of the individual). When this has been done, mankind will again
be able to see his own individualized "I AM" Presence face to face, as well as
the Angels, Masters and Beings of light. You have no idea how much confidence,
real faith and spiritual strength can be drawn into one's consciousness by such
confirmation of belief when the personal self actually sees the reality of his
own Presence and Ascended or Angelic Beings with his physical sight!
Today, we are also concerned with the purification of the etheric bodies of
mankind so that there are no longer desires to compel the forces of the
Elementals to obey the destructive free-will of human beings. We are concerned
with the removal of the rebellions and resentments which exist at present
between the Forces of Nature and mankind at large. When the Elementals know,
through proven endeavor, that mankind really does seek to co-operate with them,
we shall see the re-establishing of that glorious Kingdom of Angels, mankind and
Elemental life which will be externalized in Beloved Saint Germain's Golden Age
of permanent perfection for this planet and Its evolutions.
I AM REAL! I AM YOUR FRIEND! BELOVED THOR IS REAL! HE IS YOUR FRIEND! The Sylphs
are real, too, and they want to be your friends. Despite so much ingratitude
upon the part of mankind for the blessings received from the Sylphs, those
Sylphs have proven their willingness to serve by making and keeping the
atmosphere of Earth pure enough to sustain life here day after day... human life
as well as that in the Nature Kingdom.
When you hear of or read about vortices of Air currents of a destructive nature
attempting to manifest at any point on or around the Earth, call to us! Ask us
for assistance and see how quickly we will come to the aid of you or those for
whom you call.
In loving gratitude for your comprehension; your service; your desire to
co-operate with our Kingdom and its inhabitants, I bless you in the Name of the
One God and the Spirits of the Air whose direction I have voluntarily undertaken
to assist in making Earth a happy, beautiful and habitable planet. Thank you and
Good evening!
