Beloved Maha Chohan and Lady Kwan Yin

Since it is your privilege to go to the Retreat of Beloved Kwan Yin in your inner bodies, I wish to stress the importance of employing the activity of the Flame of Mercy through your vehicles and those of all humankind.

That glorious Flame embodies Charity, Grace and Compassion and is a wonderful function for the treatment of the ills of mankind, brought into manifestation through their free will misuse of God's Pure Energy.

In as much as that gracious lady, our Beloved Kwan Yin, is so interested in the return of the dignity to womanhood and family life, Calls in this direction will be much appreciated by her, enabling a greater release of the Flame of Mercy.

The Spiritual Hierarchy always have a well-defined Plan in the Releases of Energy from a specific Focus at the time in which the chelas are invited to participate in the activity of the Retreat. It behooves the alert chela to take advantage of the greatly energized Quality which is brought to their attention for a definite purpose... for the Purification of the Earth and her evolutions so she may no longer hold up the Cosmic scheme of evolution.

If you will remember to follow the directives which we give you for a stated period of time, you will be greatly rewarded with the benefits which you personally derive from the application thereof. Cosmic Law demands a balance for the instruction given.

Blessed and beloved ladies and gentlemen, interested in the compassionate way of life, I come to you today as the Mercy Flame is being honored, to give you, individually, the full gathered cosmic momentum of all the mercy that I have known, and all of the gifts of mercy from every blessed Being who has, at one time or another, guarded the Temple of Mercy which now abides in the etheric realm, in the vicinity of Peking, China.

Beloved ones, I, like so many of the very early teachers, have been placed on the shelf, so to speak, by the very practical and orthodox Western minds, and yet in the mind of the occidental people there is coming forth a remembrance, at least intellectually, of my Presence. For this I am grateful, because wherever there is a picture, a statue, a representation of my humble self - through that open door I pour all the gifts of mercy and compassion that are mine, to bless all life impersonally, as we always do.

Often have I prostrated myself before him and felt the magnificent radiation of his slender feet beneath my forehead; felt the radiation of his magnificent love, charge and re-charge my Being with the desire to continue in this service of mercy and compassion. You too, now, who enter the heart of the Temple of Mercy, (either in projected consciousness while your bodies are awake and you are not open, of course, to the inquisitive eyes of the curious, or when your bodies sleep at night) enter that Temple of Mercy and prostrate yourselves before Lord Gautama , the Lord of the World, whose great and long sacrifice of every self-interest, made it possible to assume the office of your Regent, Sanat Kumara, so long before the time that even the Spiritual Hierarchy felt it would take to secure a new Lord of the World.

Not the silence of frustration. Ah, beloved ones, that is not true silence, it is but the bottling up of all kinds of emotional, mental, etheric and outer brain consciousness - thoughts and feelings which, as sure as you live, will burst their bounds, particularly at a time of crises and leap forth, adding to the chaos of confusion spewed out by a humanity that knows not where to turn. The Great, Great Silence embodied by Gautama and every Great Being who represent those who have lived to save this planet Earth and redeem her - that silence is not lethargy or suppression, but that silence is the ultimate experience of harmony and bliss, peace and comfort.

Now, the outer personality of unascended beings, beloved ones, often is deceitful in itself. Until the individual has attained his Ascension, he has not any conception of what true silence is. All manner of thoughts can confirm a desire to be silent, building an expression of egotism which, in the long run, will be manifest so that all who run may read."

Ah, no, the tight lipped silence of the ascetic who performs his or her service seething with unexpressed and uncontrolled emotion, will lead to delay on the spiritual path. Where in the laughing song of the young initiate performing a humble task of changing the Altar in preparation for religious service is more efficacious than that of the ascetic, who, through effort of will and not of love, remains silent.

We have had many experiences in this Vow of Silence. The Beloved Ascended Master Kuthumi in the Pythagorean Order, for seven years demanded silence of the tongue in order that he might anchor into the feeling world of his pupils the music which he had received from the Beloved Vista. Playing that music through the school at Crotona, morning and evening, he endeavored to sublimate the discord of the sometimes rebellious (even though silent) brothers and sisters, they had slates on which to write and also the loose earth on which, with their fingers, they expressed themselves. Beloved Kuthumi's great work in that era was not successful; even though he did his best with unascended chelas.

At Peking, our Silence is born of the heart, no one stays long who cannot stand the peace and quiet or who has to be constantly hearing something from the outer world, therefore we do not have as rigid a discipline as in some other Retreats; the chelas in themselves wearying of the unbroken quietude return to the world, (where all the noise and chaos to which the outer mind has been accustomed awaits them).

There are a few who love the silence... you have experienced it yourselves, to some extent, during your time of meditation. You have known it when you have gone to some quiet lake in which was reflected the beauty and peace of nature, and you enjoyed the radiation of the great Deva who guarded it, your God and your Ascended Master and Angelic friends. But have those experiences of the Great Silence so influenced and become a part of you that wheresoever you are under whatsoever trying circumstances you may find yourself will not cause you to break that silence in self-justification or otherwise.

Oh, beloved ones, we are in the days of planetary change, of the evolution of this entire earth and all upon it, imprisoned Angels and tiny elementals that have served within your physical vehicles embodiment after embodiment, some of them never seeing the light of day, as they compose the organs covered round by your flesh form.

In these days we are dependent upon the chelas who can realize the Power of that magnificent Silence which can be a balance to the multitudes - a protection to the chela so he may receive God direction and activity which, flowing forth from one in a whole city or an entire continent is enough to control the elements of air, water, earth and fire, thus saving humankind from chaos and cataclysmic action that need not come IF unascended chelas accept our word into their Hearts.

I was on Lemuria! I was Atlantis! I watched the White Order as they endeavored, earnestly and sincerely, to convey coming events to the people, and I saw that after the clamor and the temporary excitement of possible changes wore off that not only the masses but many of the priesthood slipped into a state of lethargy. When the hour came for the sinking of Lemuria the good priesthood did maintain harmony by sinking with that continent. On Atlantis the White Priesthood had to flee, north and east and south and west, carrying what virtues they could while Poseidonis sank beneath the waves.

Beloved ones, I am called the Mother of Mercy, there is no one who can be more gentle than I. Like unto Mother Mary, I, too, have stood in the rooms where your bodies first came forth from the wombs of your mothers, I, too, touched the top of your heads; I, too, blessed you; not only in this embodiment, but all the embodiments since I have been secluded from the peoples of Earth by the maya of human creation; praying with all the mercy and compassion of my heart that each and everyone of you might fulfill your divine plan. I have loved you, loved you, loved you regardless of mistakes known and unknown, not only in this life but in those that have gone before.

That is one reason why "I AM" on the Karmic Board, because in that great impersonal and august body, I am permitted, as a Member, to plead your cause, and have done so again, again, and again, knowing the beauty the strength the willingness to serve, that is within your blessed beating hearts. It is difficult for the outer mind to reconcile itself to the rather strict disciplines directed by myself as a member of the Karmic Board and the Mother of Mercy; yet those two offices I hold, those two aspects of radiation, I can have released and you have been witness thereto.

As the breath goes around the world tonight, the gracious Lord of the World, Lord Gautama, himself, will remain within the Temple of Mercy. our Lord Maha Chohan has graciously consented to remain here at the Mother House. Your Protector and Defender Lord Michael, adding his strength and vitality to yours, will be in person in your Sanctuary.
