FEEL NO EVIL, SPEAK NO EVIL, HEAR NO EVIL
A Christmas Message of Charity by the Cosmic Being Charity
At this Sacred Season, let us draw the quality of Charity of feeling into us; the capacity not to pass judgment in the feeling world, not to criticize, not to condemn, not to find the error within the lifestreams with whom you are associated, but rather to find the warm light of the spirit that through that soul is endeavoring to sublimate the outer nature and bring it again into perfection.
How much do you really know about the hopes, the aspirations, the dreams of the people with whom you are associated? How much do you know about the silent struggles and endeavors to overcome which are hidden behind a mask of serenity at times, and sometimes passes through that mask and lines the face and dulls the eyes and makes the body heavy? How much real heart interest have you been able to generate within the great sea of the feeling world in the souls of those who are within your homes that form the body of your immediate family?
Charity begins at home
Trite has become the expression "Charity begins at home", yet I say to you, your home life and your religious group life is the place where every good virtue, every good feeling and thought should begin. Your home life and your group life form the retreat in which in former ages you would have engaged upon the task of controlling of energy until your energies could blanket, transmute and sublimate the vibratory action of energy consciously directed at you to test your strength.
Many times students on the path, living within homes where there are yet lifestreams engaged in the pursuit of happiness according to the prompting of the senses, so many times the emotional bodies of such sincere students radiate out a certain intolerance, a certain "holier than thou" radiation which cannot be used to melt away the vibratory actions of distress in souls less strong than the individual on the Path and who are gathered around such an one for the specific purpose not only or developing love within the student, but lighting through the students heart the souls of the weaker ones who have only the contact with the Holy Christ Self and the Masters through that student within the home. Would it be mercy and the wisdom of the law to place all the strong together and leave all the weak together! No! The love and mercy of God is such that one with great light becomes the radiation of the Master's Love to generate a feeling within the heart of all connected with that one in home and business, of hope and of faith.
Love comes before Faith and Hope
It has been said of the qualities of Faith and Hope that the radiation of Charity is greatest. This has perhaps not been understood. It is rather an activity of consecutive radiation which flows through this triple action. An individual who wishes to bring Faith and Hope to a soul must first give that soul real interested divine love, and there is no soul, no matter how dark its clothing, no matter how rebellious its nature, no matter how cynical its mind, no matter how disillusioned who will not respond to the radiation of honest-to-goodness Charity and Love, which stirs that soul to a point where it can accept hope of redemption, and generate again a feeling of Faith in the power of God and all His Kingdom.
Step down Love once a day
Into the great sea of emotional energy where there seethes so many of the causes of distress through the ages, I can pass the substance of Pink Flame and melt away the many millions and millions of imperfect contact with man, woman and child.
When your emotional body, your mental body and etheric body are actually filled with the essence of Love, the pressure of that combined energy will act through the flesh in a practical manner to make of love something that gives comfort to the life that is around you.
Beloved ones, step down Divine Love consciously once a day - step it down into the sphere in which you are active, whether it is in your department stores, your office buildings, whether it is in your home life or your group activity, connect with that Flame of Love which is mine.
Promptings from God are always balanced; are always clothed with wisdom; they are always something that is a specific blessing to the race and will not cause hardship or deprivation to some other part of life by reason of you playing the bountiful one.
Feel no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil
Many members of the human race who employ the name of Charity, only do so to salve the conscience, a written check, a gift at the Holy Season, something which leaves the conscience free to play again with activities of the senses through the year. But they are not the ones who radiate Charity.
At this Christmas Season are you willing to try and live in that consciousness… to feel no evil, to think no evil, to remember no evil, to speak no evil, to hear no evil, to see no evil?" Count them off to yourselves at the close of a day! Check up and then bringing the vibratory action of your various bodies into alignment, let your Christmas gift to God and man be a conscious remaining within the powers of your own God Self, and remember Charity beings at home! Do not be so busy with your own thoughts and feelings that you have not time to feel the soul need of your fellowman. Learn to be still enough to hear a heart call and be in enough state of Grace that your life flowing forth may be an encouragement to some soul that is brought to you who needs a blessing.
