New Year Conference
Pallas Athena
December 30, 1991
Beloved Ones,
I come to you today with gratitude for the Harvest of Light that has been gathered by humanity during the year now drawing to a close. It is a privilege for all of us in the Octaves of Light to see the tremendous expansion of love and service that has taken place during this time.
A great deal of healing has been given to the Earth. This may be accepted as a beacon of hope for the entire human family, since healing―as with any gift of God―must be accepted by the recipient. Of course, much of this acceptance has been at inner levels, rather than in the outer consciousness of the masses. Nevertheless, we are seeing a great purification of the mass consciousness as more and more individuals respond to the blessings of the Sacred Fire. There is truly cause for rejoicing!
As we now enter upon a new cycle, there is much yet to be done. I welcome this opportunity to speak to you―our chelas―about the personal healing that is taking place in your four lower vehicles, and the effects you have been experiencing. I AM aware that this passing year has been difficult for many of you. There has been a necessity to let go of many things related to the past so that a new and expanded spiritual order could be established in your beings and worlds.
Much purification has taken place, especially in your etheric and emotional vehicles. As a result, your mental and physical bodies have reflected stress from time to time. However, as a result of this purifying and balancing process, your physical and mental bodies are also greatly clarified and strengthened.
Many of you have seen the advent of new relationships and the conclusions of some long established ones. This is often the result of the expansion of your spiritual consciousness and the widening of your spheres of influence. As these changes are taking place, some of you feel concern about the spiritual progress of those to whom you are close. Sometimes you feel they are not walking a steady path toward the Light.
My beloved chelas, is it possible for you to receive this expanded understanding and these greater capabilities, and to remain silent when they touch upon another lifestream? I ask you this question because it is often the test of spiritual knowledge. As you receive more and deeper comprehension of spiritual law and its action within the lives of those around you, your silence is often to their best interests! Think deeply upon my counsel, because your own spiritual progress frequently depends upon knowing when to speak, and when to be silent.
At the beginning of the Christian Dispensation, Master Jesus said "You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free!" He also stated "I AM the way, the truth and the life. No man comes unto the Father but by me." These statements, assumed to be promises, have revealed themselves to be vital prophecies of the New Age of Spiritual Freedom! All humanity, individually and consciously, shall come to know the truth, and that truth shall make them free! The I AM Presence is "the Way" of which he spoke. It may be reached through the Holy Christ Self within your heart, and every human heart! This is the Christ that Master Jesus embodied, and he taught that it is embodied in you, as well.
If I, Pallas Athena, tell you that every person is moving forward toward the Light of ultimate victory, will you accept it? This is the truth that forms the nucleus around which the Immaculate Concept is formed. It is the ultimate truth that I ask you to hold for each lifestream, and the entire human family! Remember that the borders of our Father's Kingdom encompass all life!
You have been told that you are your brother's keeper. As you walk your individual path to the One Goal, what is your responsibility toward your fellow travelers? You know that you are responsible for your own use of energy through free will choice. You are not responsible for the choices of others, but, because of your expanded Spiritual understanding, you are expected to set the highest example possible for all within your sphere of influence.
You have been told by the Ascended Masters not to give advice unless it is asked of you. If it is asked, you must think carefully before you speak, silently invoking your I AM Presence to speak through you. After invoking your Presence, if you still do not know how to advise, then you must remain silent. These are two simple guidelines that you will find useful.
In all personal relationships, as well as global concerns, your responsibility is twofold. First, you must hold the Immaculate Concept at all times. When you are faced with illusions that seem to indicate anything less than perfection, address only the Inner Christ, and never the outer man, for the Christ within every man is the only way home to the Father-Mother God!
Second, you must blaze the Sacred Transmuting Flame through all outer appearances to transmute illusions and restore Divine Order. If you feel unable to penetrate the outer illusion, become still; go within and call on me! I AM at your side instantly to enfold you in my cosmic momentum of Divine Truth. All that you need to know shall be revealed to you at exactly the right time and in the right way! If patience is required, accept it gracefully as part of your training and discipline.
Study my words well and put them to use in your worlds. You will rejoice with me in your Freedom! My Love is embodied in Truth. I can give you no higher gift!
