THE GIFT OF GRACE
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, liberated God-free Consciousness of the illumined ones who walk and talk, as the beloved Ascended Master Saint Germain has prophesized and as shall come to pass, with the Great White Brotherhood, their representatives and the Angelic Hosts themselves.
Beloved ones, the activities that are the 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 is held within your own Holy Christ Flame, the knowledge of the Truth which has been presented age after age, century after century, eons after eons, to lifestreams who chose to accept portions of it, utilize portions of it, and placed the greater majority of those Truths on the shelves of libraries. Grace means purity of motive. Oh, that most subtle of all initiations wherein you are able to stand apart from the personality that you wear and apart also from the soul that you have created through ages of 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 stand before you time and time 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 that you have created through the misuse of free will; a love for your fellowman in distress, for the animal kingdom and elemental kingdom and all imprisoned life, even so-called inanimate objects - that is a part of Grace.
Grace contains within it discrimination, discretion, the capacity to cognize the Truth, and to cognize and reverence Divinity's Presence in your midst. Also to cognize the petty outer consciousness of those with whom you must deal in your daily living, the discretion to cognize the Holy Christ Selves within them, and to place where it belongs, in the Violet Transmuting Flame, all of those petty differences of every kind.
Grace contains within itself illumined Faith in the power of God to render service to all life everywhere, knowing that the Father-Mother God who created you and everyone of the people using this Earth as a planetary home, certainly wished for you and all of mankind the very best.
I give to you today, the full power of my feeling and acceptance of the Grace of God, each beloved chela. Accept it - use it - and HELP US, oh Children of Earth - Help us 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 for this and all succeeding generations.
