Saint Germain

February 2, 1992

Beloved Chelas of My Heart,

Accept my gratitude for the privilege of speaking with you today. I welcome these opportunities, for the very fact that you gather to receive my words, or take the time to read them, tells me that you are working to discover the Truth!

I will open my address today with a question; Have you made any new discoveries since the first day of the bright New Year you recently entered? The theme of the Conference of the Ascended Masters held at the physical focus of Shamballa for the New Year of 1992 was 'Discovery'.

For eons of time, I searched for the New World. Century upon century, my efforts were concentrated upon looking here, there, and everywhere! Always, it seemed there was a new horizon which lay before me. Surely, there was something wonderful just over that horizon, waiting to be discovered! However, when I found the New World and the Freedom I hoped it would contain, I discovered there was still another horizon before me, and that I was not yet free! The freedom I sought was not over the next horizon, but deep within my own Heart! This is true for you, too!

Spiritual freedom is not something that you can discover outside of yourself. It is not to be found in another country; it does not lie within possessions, and―even though it is within every human heart―it cannot be obtained from another person. When you discover true Spiritual Freedom, it will not matter where or who you are, because you will be standing in the very center of the Kingdom of Heaven in a mighty forcefield of Divine Love, Light and Protection!

From within that forcefield, rhythmic pulsations of Purity, Freedom and Perfection will be flowing forth to fill your being and world with every virtue of the Godhead. With your every heartbeat and breath, you will be surrounding all life within your atmosphere with the hope and faith that they, too, will attain the Kingdom of God within! Beloved Ones, I bow before the Flame of the Living Christ that dwells within the tabernacle of your own heart, right here and right now!

I see you searching, turning over every stone, reading every book, listening closely to all those who claim to have the answers you seek. All forms of meditation have become extremely popular, and people everywhere are seeking, seeking, seeking the truth - the enlightenment that will set them free from their earthly concerns and difficulties. When I tell you this freedom dwells within, perhaps you feel you already know this fact, but do not know quite how to enter this exalted place.

I bless and honor your every effort to find the truth of your Being. The very activity of searching that is taking place all over the world right now is the result of the dedicated, trusting work of our chelas who are embodied on the Earth at this time. You have already made inroads to the fullness of the Light of God you seek! You have begun the process of claiming your Divine Heritage!

One of the qualities I will tell you to develop is that of patience. Another is hope, for hope is the quality of awakening; the virtue that paves the way for faith to get a firm foothold in your consciousness. Faith always follows the anchoring of the Flame of Hope within the human heart. That is why during this year of 1992, We will make a supreme effort to instill this sacred God Quality within the hearts of all humanity.

Faith in the supremacy of God consciousness to overcome the human is absolutely essential for the chela! Faith precedes confidence, and you now stand at the point upon the spiritual path where you must develop confidence without reservation.

I AM the CHOHAN OF THE SEVENTH RAY, together with my Divine Complement, Lady Portia. We have the responsibility, as well as the joy of fulfilling the objectives of the New Age of Spiritual Freedom that will take place during the two thousand year cycle into which we are now entering.

During the early part of the first millennium of this cycle the major use of the Violet Fire will be that of purifying and transmuting the energies bound within the veil of maya. Also during this time, the influence of the Seventh Ray will intensify within all people and groups who are working for the cause of freedom, whether it is directed at political, economic, personal, or spiritual freedom. This work must be completed before the complete orbital shift may be accomplished.

The aspect of ceremonial, already established, will come into stronger expression. I would like to clarify a point regarding the influence of the ceremonial aspect of the Seventh Ray. It influences all humanity, but not to establish identical expressions. You are observing many different forms of ceremony unfolding throughout various groups, teachings, and activities other than the Bridge to Spiritual Freedom. These ceremonies will be specific to various groups of endeavor, at all levels of understanding. Do not expect everyone to agree or be comfortable with the specific forms you, as chelas of The Bridge to Spiritual Freedom, may prefer.

Develop understanding and loving acceptance toward all others who are expanding the Light of the New Age in their own ways. Take time to communicate with others as opportunities arise, seeking to understand their ideas and ideals.

Importantly, take time to teach the underlying meaning of the ceremonies that are a part of The Bridge to Spiritual Freedom Teachings, if and when questions arise. If you do not understand these ceremonies yourself, then it is your responsibility to ask and discover the principles upon which your ceremonial endeavors are based.

Above all, I ask for constancy of endeavor from all of you! Rhythm of application is so deeply important, and this is an integral part of the quality of constancy that I ask of you. The difference this will make in your personal lives and worlds in clearing things up and moving along in your spiritual work is tremendous. Until this clearing is done at the personal level, the tendency is to continue to fall back into the hypnosis of human consciousness. Never sacrifice your spiritual standards for the quick and easy ways promised by so many! There are no shortcuts except the firmness of your loyalty to Spiritual Principle, and this cannot be over-emphasized!

Beloved Friends, I have given you much to think about!  Accept my message in the, spirit of love with which it is given. Accept also my deep and heartfelt gratitude for your every effort to expand the Light of God. Know!... beyond a shadow of doubt, that the victorious accomplishment of the New Age of Spiritual Freedom pulsates in the ethers of the Earth right here and now! Take this moment to feel its vibratory activity entering your heart centers and becoming a part of your being and world right now and forever sustained! Let it flow forth from your hearts to full manifestation throughout the Earth!  I LOVE YOU!
