NOTES FROM A MASTER TO HIS PUPIL - V
As a special dispensation to the Bridge Students for this year, one of our Chelas has been permitted to share with them the private instruction received from the Master.
DIRECT RAYS
The Ascended Master may, and does, direct consciously spiritual currents of Force under his personal supervision and will for specific reasons. These personally directed Rays are more potent and powerful than the Universal Emanation of Light that fills the Cosmos, even as the individual Flame of Helios' Heart can render greater service to one invoking it than the sunlight which plays unheeded on the bodies of the masses. Here you have the key by which an individual may receive and be the beneficiary of much greater power than that which is the naturally enfolding presence for the humanity of Earth. When you invoke the personal assistance of an Ascended Being you immediately draw those concentrated rays and your lifestream is greatly accelerated by their presence within you.
THE LUMINOUS PRESENCE
To use the Luminous Presence of an Ascended Being is to draw instantly such a transforming power in and around the lifestream of the individual wise enough to utilize this Harmonizing Presence. To realize that the color of the Master's Aura, the Tone of his Cosmic Keynote and the Radiation of his Ascended Presence flows through THAT Luminous Presence is to realize that the transforming power of such a Luminous Flame is much more powerful than any effort of human will to change the quality of one's thoughts and feelings.
THE PURIFYING OF THE CONSCIOUSNESS
If every student could realize that every thought and feeling he entertains for a fraction of a second becomes part of his consciousness and will form the environment in which he must dwell, such a student would begin to realize the importance of cleaning the consciousness of impurity and imperfection, and would further realize the Powers within the use of the Sacred Fire to transmute and purify the already existing thoughts and feelings that make up the conglomerate personal self.
THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
If you will invoke the Power of the Holy Spirit to be released through the 'I AM' Presence and Holy Christ Selves of all mankind into the consciousness of the personal self it will enable me to qualify much Energy with may loving. Consciousness before it descends into the Earth plane. This Energy flowing through the inner bodies of mankind will be naturally harmonious and balanced, and as it cannot be requalified by human will, it will flow forth almost independently through the personal selves and form a pattern for the life-stream which the flow of energy in the lifestream will follow.
THE FOUR LOVER BODIES
Each of the four lower bodies has consciousness of its own and they must be brought to an understanding as to their purpose, which is merely to be conductors of God's Energy into the emotional, mental, etheric, and physical planes. The Holy Christ Self must be acknowledged as the only Dispenser of the Energy, and full authority for the release of the Energy must be given to it without reservation. This requires time, patience and great wisdom, because we are always very alert to the defects of others, but the subtle tests upon this Path always lie within the weaknesses of the self.
THERE IS NO FAILURE
There is no such thing as failure when a lifestream has contacted the Ascended Host because such association, discipleship, or companionship unfolds certain qualities of the spirit that can never be erased no matter how far from the Path the student may stray. Immediately upon his return to the Pathway of Light he takes up his spiritual evolution and proceeds from the point where he ceased to make effort, and by reason of his past unfoldment, proceeds rapidly when once his intellect becomes aware again of the spiritual progress required of the soul.
RECHARGE YOUR BATTERY
If you will begin to practice tuning into some Perfected Being before entering sleep you will find that the following morning your inner bodies, as well as your atomic structure, will have benefited by the six or eight hours in which the connection was made and sustained with the same mechanical accuracy that a battery is benefited by being connected with an electric charger for the purpose of rebuilding its store of potent energies.
ORGANIZATIONS MUST HAVE A PLAN
In any organization, preceding action, there must be understanding as to purpose and power and design that is to be the motivating force dedicated to a certain goal. The courtesy accorded the Designing Chief is to allow his Design to be presented, and all subordinates (to the best of their ability) fulfill it, their value depending upon their capacity to accurately interpret the original intent.
Chelas fall into two distinct types, those who do not have the capacity to tune in to the full Design, whose hearts are desirous of serving, but are clumsy in execution and those who do not choose to listen to the Divine Instruction but through tremendous mental development create their own design and build according to their concept of what should be done. From the heart of the chela should go forth the cry, "What is thy Will and thy Design - show them to me!"
