Easter Class Address

Beloved Serapis Bey

Self Justification

Will I detect 'rumblings' in your consciousness when you read the heading of this Release of “oh no, not me!" 

Beloved ones, the unascended chela does not know when some individual may touch a sensitive spot in his or her feelings and will bristle at the comment or disgruntled remark of another. If this does happen, you will know that the personal self is still an entity desiring justification. 

The mind of man is a series of thoughts and feelings, actions and re-actions which comprise a picture of what he thinks he is and his relationship to the universe surrounding him. This is the personality, which the individual desires to protect, and the energy of his being is poured constantly into appeasing and cultivating the requirements of this little self. 

Now that the chela has progressed along the Spiritual Path and has conscientiously used the Sacred Fire of Transmutation and Purification, these defensive feelings are of a minor nature but be ever on the alert for the intruder who steps on your toes, so to speak. One who is striving, and advancing, toward the Goal of being the Christ Presence in action can be very susceptible, and it is the Divine Love which I hold for each of you that prompts me to counsel you in this regard. 

The personal self, apart from God, is an individual entity with separate tendencies. The momentum of holding the little self in such esteem through the ages has created a substance which has formed a dense or unclear condition in the consciousness, and this must be removed before the Happiness and God Perfection can be brought into being. 

The vehicles of expression belonging to the Beloved "I AM" Presence which the life-stream inhabits were intended to be conductors of the Goodness of the Creator of all Life and for the expansion of the Gifts of the Fourth Dimension in the physical appearance world. 

The consciousness of the personal self must be withdrawn from the outer enjoyment back to its Source, which will result in inner peace. Spiritual meditation, true art, color and music play an important part in this renouncement but entering the 'inner sanctum' of the Christ within will more quickly loose the hold of the outer which has enjoyed such a long tenure in your worlds. Be assured that the entire Host of Heaven are ready and willing at all times to assist you in this renunciation, when invoked, for every lifestream who has reached the point in its evolution where it desires to return to the Kingdom of Perfection is deserving of added assistance. 

All consciousness is part of the Whole and while any part of the Universal Consciousness is enmeshed in false concepts, the Over-All Pattern of Perfection cannot express. Therefore, the Ascended Master Consciousness continues to draw inward towards the Source of Being, on the inflow of the Life Breath; all the consciousness on the Planet is flowing inward in like manner, in plant life, animal life, and the life of man. 

You can well realize how very important it is to condition your consciousness at this particular time to assist all the evolutions of this Earth to be prepared for the Cosmic In-breath which will draw all closer to their Great Source. 

I admonish you to plunge constantly into Sea of Godliness, which is within, and be on guard at all times that the little self is no longer recognized or defended in thought or feeling. Once you actually get the inner feeling in the tranquil waters of Spirit you will find that you can actually 'cruise' to the Home Port, as it were, and not be buffeted about by the violent storms on the seas of imperfection and turbulence. 

So, come with me into the Heart of the Cosmic Consciousness on the Wings of Pure Divine Love and imbibe the Elixir of Spirit, the Living Essence of Perfection, where we shall, together, raise the consciousness of the evolutions of this Earth, and serve as ONE to the Glory of the Almighty. 

Thank you for your acceptance of the Feeling given in this Release and for your determination and constancy to fulfill that part of your own Individual Divine Plan which was allotted to you, in Divine Love by the Creator of us ALL!

Nearer "I AM" to thee -

God-Self Divine;

Let me thy Light now see -

My own God Design.

Be thou my mind and soul;

Cleanse me and make me whole

'Til I attain my Goal

And ascend to thee. 

Holy Christ Self of me,

Reveal thy Pow'r;

Let me thyself now be

Every passing hour.

Now at thy Holy Shrine

I see God's Plan Divine;

Love shall my world refine

And make me like thee. 

I see thy Presence now

Bright as the Sun;

Thy crown upon my brow

Means my Vict'ry's won.

I hear thy welcome voice,

And Angels now rejoice

That, given Freedom's choice

I return to thee. 

As Heaven's gates so fair

Now open wide,

I know that earnest prayer

E'er has been my guide.

Grateful to Saint Germain

For use of Freedom's Flame,

All bless his Sacred Name

For Eternity.
