Beloved Archangel Gabriel

A STATE OF LISTENING GRACE

Hail, children of God who walk for a time the ways of Earth! "I AM" Gabriel, the Messenger of the Lord, come always to bring good tidings of Grace and Joy to all the lifestreams who can accept my Reality and who desire deep within their hearts to know the joy of holding the Immaculate Concept for themselves, their fellowman, the sweet Earth and all life that is upon it. I have come many times as such a Messenger from on High. 

People in every civilization who were endeavoring to sustain the magnificence of God's Life and God's Will, when filled with Grace - a constant listening consciousness for Divinity - and were not diverted constantly by the voices of the many outer activities with which they were surrounded, were able to hear my Message and, on many occasions, to see me face to face. 

The import of remaining in a state of Grace cannot be over-emphasized to any earnest and sincere chela who intends to pass from the outer shrouded consciousness of the masses into the awakened and liberated consciousness of the illumined who walk and talk with the Great White Brotherhood and their Representatives as the Ascended Master Saint Germain has prophesied shall come to pass. 

The ingredients of Grace 

Beloved ones, the activities that are ingredients of a constant state of Grace have been described in detail to you. They embody the Mercy of Almighty God, the Peace and Balance that are held within your own Holy Christ Flame, the knowledge of the Truth which has been presented age after age to lifestreams who chose to accept portions of it, utilize portions of it, and then place upon the shelves of libraries the greater portion of those Truths. Grace means purity of motive - that most subtle of all initiations wherein you are able to stand apart from the personality that you wear and the soul that you have created through the ages of the misuse of life and measure honestly the motivating power behind your action. 

Grace contains within itself a true abiding Love for God - a Love that is in the FEELINGS and not on the lips or in the mind of the outer consciousness; a Love for God that cognizes in feeling that ONE in dignity with God is a majority over all human creation and all disturbing appearances; and Love and Reverence for the Divine Hierarchy who, through the mercy of the Law, have passed through the veil of maya created by mankind, and who stand before you again and again giving of their Love and their Life to help you redeem those energies that have been distorted, and to set you free from that karma which you have created through the misuse of free will; a Love for your fellowman in distress, for the animal and elemental kingdoms, and all imprisoned life - even so-called inanimate objects - that is a part of Grace. 

Discrimination indispensable 

Grace contains within itself discrimination, discretion - the capacity to cognize the Truth and to cognize and reverence Divinity's Presence in your midst; to cognize also the petty outer consciousness of those with whom you must deal in your capacities as Sanctuary and Group Directors, and in your family and business associations; the discretion to cognize the Holy Christ Selves within them, and to place where it belongs, in the Violet Transmuting Flame, each petty difference of every kind. 

Grace contains within itself Illumined Faith in the Power of God to render service to all life everywhere - knowing that the God who created you and every one of the individualized beings using this Earth as a planetary home, certainly wishes for you and yours, and for all mankind, the very best. He created you in his own Image and Likeness, endowed with the magnificent Three-fold Flame which beats the Heart of the White Fire Being from whence came forth your Electronic Presence through which came forth your Holy Christ Selves around which was coalesced the beautiful forms which you wore when you, either as Holy Innocents or as protectors from other Stars, first came to the planet Earth and chose to use her as your hostess. 

Be thou filled with Grace 

When I came to Beloved Mary, as I promised to do before the birth of Jesus, it was possible for me to give confirmation and strength to her at the time when she required it most because she was, despite all of the personal aggravations, in a state of Listening Grace! She remained so all through her blessed life, and so I could easily say: "Hail, Mary, filled with Grace!" So now I say to you, Guardian Spirits from other Stars, human beings belonging to this Earth, imprisoned Angels, and elevated elementals: "Hail, children, be thou filled with Grace!" May the great Mother Mary herself so imbue you with that Grace that you, feeling it, KNOW the Comfort that abides within it! 

Beloved ones, all men and women unascended seek confirmation of Truth, but mostly they seek it through phenomena. Some of the earnest and sincere students who have made the pass-over at Easter time into the New Era of dignity, reverence and beauty, can understand that phenomena in itself is not a lasting confirmation for your faith in the Divine Beings who have lived, loved and served you through the ages, for the outer mind - the human consciousness - is a very unsettled entity. 

The greatest phenomena performed will not convince the soul of the efficacy of the Divine Powers to act, but the Cosmic Flames and Rays called forth in the name of any of the Ascended Masters and Cosmic Beings and CHARGED silently when discretion indicates (audibly when discrimination directs), will FILL the feelings and world of any life-stream who chooses to experiment with the Powers of Invocation that are held within the Consciousness of my Beloved Brother Zadkiel, Beloved Holy Amethyst, the Beloved Ascended Master Saint Germain and Blessed Portia. 

Be ready to meet the Master 

When Helios and Vesta draw this planet closer to their Hearts, pray God that all those who are not yet fully accepting even the reality of the Ascended Master Kingdom may have the assistance of the God Pelleur and whoever is in embodiment who chooses to take upon themselves a portion of this impersonal karma. May they be so accelerated that they too move forward and enjoy Freedom's Holy Star! 

Pray God that when the veil of maya is dissolved and your Lord and King, Saint Germain, and his Goddess, Portia, stand forth in the atmosphere, that you are ready emotionally, mentally, etherically and physically, and that you can face this great and gracious Son of Heaven who has loved you so long, served you so faithfully, and trusted you beyond all human words to describe. May you look upon him and hear these words: "Well done, my good, my faithful child!" It is worth centuries of endeavor, let alone one short life, to be received by your Master and know that you have done your best. 

Measure your own Light 

Remember, beloved ones, that each one’s best is not the same. The developed capacities and powers of each lifestream are determined by the Star, the Planet, the System, and the Sun to which they belong; by the service that they have rendered at Inner Levels; and by what they have done with life, embodiment after embodiment, and between embodiments as well. Therefore, measure not your Light against the Light of any other man, but measure your Light silently when you are at home in a period of introspection and retrospection. 

Your Light living in the Chalice of your heart; your Light, the Holy Christ Flame expanding through you, is all that you will be judged by when you leave this Earthly sphere and stand before the Karmic Board. As that Flame expands; as your aura becomes more beautiful, have you left behind you a trail of Light for those following after you. THINK UPON THIS! For one day, each one unascended shall so stand and face his Sponsor; shall face the Karmic Board; shall face their God! You will take nothing with you but the records in your etheric garment, your soul, and the Light that you have expanded from within your heart! When you bring in your 'sheaves', beloved ones, you are stripped of personality; you are ONE in a long line of those who come into the Halls of Karma and stand before that August Body. The knowledge that you have received in this Earth life alone and that which you have done with it, is measured very carefully. As Master after Master has said to you, many are those who feel remorse after the life span is closed as they see 'what might have been'. Now you are in the era of using the Law and your God-given discrimination in expanding your Light in whatsoever way and means life directs. You have in your hands and use already enough substance of the Truth to illumine an entire planet as well as yourselves. Dispensations come and go! Cosmic moments strike and then they are over! 

A Servant of the Law of Love 

I am a Messenger of the Lord! That means that I am a Servant of the Law! Any unascended lifestream, if they honestly and sincerely be consecrated to God's Service, are the Servants of Love! THINK UPON THIS! 

I send to you today the full directed power of my capacity to hold the Immaculate Concept for each and every one of you, for your groups, your families, your loved ones and affairs. Accept it - use it - and HELP US, oh children of Earth, in this great and magnificent hour of opportunity, the redemption of the Earth, its people, and all imprisoned life. Make it a platform of dignity and beauty for the Ascended Master Saint Germain and all succeeding generations.
