AN INDIVIDUAL'S CONSCIOUSNESS
By Beloved El Morya
This physical appearance world and everything in manifestation is but externalized consciousness that is self-evident, and has been explained to you in detail by the Masters of Wisdom. Your own bodies and every experience in your daily lives are but the externalization of the consciousness of yourself or some lifestream in your environment.
Your consciousness has been built for hundreds of thousands of centuries of living, and thought and feeling patterns have been set up, many of which your outer self has never been cognizant. These thought and feeling patterns are constantly moving currents of energy which are like rivers. These thought and feeling patterns, conscious and unconscious, represent the inner consciousness of every lifestream and constitute the nature of the personal self and by the nature of their being, they constitute the outer experience of every lifestream. We reiterate then, that whatever is in the consciousness, known or unknown, is externalized as the experience of the lifestream so that the thought and feeling patterns which constitute the inner consciousness continue embodiment after embodiment to form the external experience through which the lifestream passes again and again.
The Spiritual Hierarchy and all Beings directly concerned with the evolution of the race, deal only with consciousness, knowing that effect always follows cause. The Lords of Karma, therefore, looking at the consciousness of the soul about to reembody, allow only a certain percentage of that consciousness to be externalized in each life, holding back through mercy, the externalization of more than the lifestream can bear. With the increased pressure of the Cosmic Light and the acceleration of the evolution of the Planet, there is a much greater pressure upon the inner consciousness of all souls belonging to this System and the externalization of a greater percentage of their inner iniquities naturally ensues.
The import of my message today is to convey to the intellects of the chelas that they will never be free of externalized evil until they make a drastic change in their inner nature, because the inner consciousness must become absolutely free from the ability to entertain or recognize any imperfection in thought and feeling, and when the Cup is clean within, the appearance world will automatically manifest only the Perfection that fills the inner consciousness.
People cannot go on in their uncontrolled thinking and feeling and not have these thoughts and feelings externalized as distress. You can dam up feeling by means of the outer will, but while these seething and uncontrolled feelings are entertained within, the cause, though hidden from the world, will externalize as an effect as truly as the Sun reflected on the water emits a certain radiance of light.
The chelas who are to advance spiritually have to change their inner nature and neither suppression nor intellectual knowledge brings release. The World of Consciousness is the World of Thought and Feeling and in this secret and sacred place man must be completely honest, and if so, his externalization will prove his sincerity.
