Beloved God Principa
January 1, 1993
Beloved Ones,
I AM Divine Principle. I have clothed myself in a cloak of individualized consciousness and come forth from the Great Silence, in response to your summons.
Divine Principle cannot be described or expressed in a word or phrase, for I AM the cause and core of all Divine Expression. I AM alive in the heart and mind of every human being, Ascended Master, Angel, Elemental, and Cosmic Being. I AM the Flame of the Great Central Sun, and of the Sun beyond the Sun.
You call for Divine Order, and I AM there; yet, I AM there before the impulse to call enters your consciousness, for Divine Order surrounds and enfolds every part of life at all times. Divine order is the outer expression of the great inner Principle.
You call for Divine Truth, and I AM there; for Principle is the parent of all Truth, and is the place of its birth. All Divine Truth expresses a portion of Divine Principle, yet no Truth can hold the entirety of Principle within its grasp.
You invoke the Power of God, and I AM there, indeed, Divine Principle provides not only the creative impulse behind your invocation, but also the orderly path along which the Light flows forth, as well as the Light Itself.
When you call for Love, Beloved Ones, I AM there; for, as Divine Principle is the Father, so Divine Love is the Mother. Divine Principle and Divine Love are inseparable parts of the Whole, the Mind and Heart of God.
I have told you that I emerged from the Great Silence in response to your calls. This is not the first time that I have come forth as individualized consciousness for the benefit of humanity. At several critical junctures in the history of this planet, I have consciously slowed the vibratory action of my life force, so My Voice could be audible to those lifestreams who were willing and able to provide extraordinary assistance in shepherding the consciousness of the race toward unity with the Principle which I AM.
"I AM that I AM", I said to Moses, as he prepared to lead the Israelites out of captivity. "I AM the first and I AM the last" I decreed to Isaiah, as he prophesied the redemption of humanity. "I AM!" I declared to Gautama Buddha, as He ascended in consciousness the Mount of Attainment, to enter the Great Silence wherein I abide.
The words "I AM" are not precisely my statement of Being, nor are they My Name. Rather, they are a command to the Flame of Life to rise and become One with My Being and My Name. The command "I AM" contains within itself the individualized vibration which invokes immediate creative response from all lesser vibrations. These words are a gift from the Mind of God, for they carry my vibration the vibration of Divine Principle into the consciousness of all who make the call.
When you can realize in the deepest recesses of your being, the reality of this great Fiat embodied in the words "I AM” then, dear chelas, you become that which you decree!
The moment of this realization is a sacred one in the life of an awakening spirit. For an instant, time stops; scales fall from the eyes, as the inner vision becomes the reality. The clear tone of harmony is heard, as the lifestream cries out with the purest joy, "I AM! I AM! I AM!"
Perhaps you have experienced this consummate joy. Often, it is the memory of this joy which keeps one on the path, at least for a time. But a memory may not provide sufficient impetus to sustain a lifestream upon the Path of Light, amid the clangs and clamors of the world of form. Sometimes, even the strongest in spirit fall prey to the illusions which surround them. It is then that the command, "I AM", is needed most of all.
Beloved students, this magnificent Bridge to Spiritual Freedom, of which you are a part, has been built with the tools given to you by the Spiritual Hierarchy. They have dedicated themselves to the freedom of every man, woman and child of this race, as well as all other Life Kingdoms which inhabit this planet. When this Bridge was begun, the members of the Hierarchy were fully aware that the strongest tools would be needed, and materials of the finest quality used. For this purpose, they learned to step down the vibrational frequency of Divine Principle, to make it useful to embodied lifestreams such as yourselves. They learned to convert Principle into Light, and they gave you the tools of your decrees and invocations, so that you could channel that Light. Beloved ones channel that light with the tone of COMMAND!
I oftentimes hear you decree, "Beloved God Principa, enfold me with your quality of Divine order." Blessed chelas, I long to hear you command: “Beloved God Principa, I AM DIVINE ORDER! Increase my Light with Your Own!” Do you see the distinction I make? You have been told, over and over, that you are Beings of Great Light! The time is now that you must begin to believe in your own Light, and to command that Light! I encourage you to begin each day with the command, "I AM that I AM!" Thus do you place yourself in the flow of your own Light.
Once having scaled the foothills surrounding the Mount of Attainment once the lifestream has sent forth the conscious fiat "I AM” the next great lesson to be incorporated into the consciousness is Patience; serene, confident Patience.
This is a lesson which your beloved Gautama learned well. Once He was able to enter the Great Silence once He was able to hear My Voice He was given the opportunity to remain in the Silence and abide forever. Instead, He chose to return to the Earth, to share with humanity the Love, Wisdom and Power embodied in Divine Principle. Consider for a moment the vast amount of patience required, to listen to the Voice of the Silence while still existing in the world of form. This is the same lesson you face now, my children. Gautama built His mighty momentum of Patience, just as you must, day-by- day-by day. He was victorious, and so shall you be.
I will tell you one word which you may use to remind yourselves to be patient both with yourselves and with your fellowman. That word is "Wait." By this advice, I do not in any sense mean to indicate that you should not act. I mean that you must lift the Cup of your Consciousness high, and wait for it to be filled. When you are in tune with all of the implications embodied in the words "I AM", you are naturally aware that Divine Order enfolds every part of life at all times not sometimes but at all times. Therefore, as you use the words "I AM" to command Light into any situation in the world of form or elsewhere, that Light cannot fail to go forth; nor can it fail to act in complete agreement with Divine Principle. Thus, the results which you often so dearly wish to see, can only come forth in accord with Divine Order. Since you stand behind the veil at the present time, you must demonstrate that serene Patience of which I spoke earlier, remaining confident in the efficacy of your work. Once you are able to let go of the need for demonstrations, you will be able to spend your energy in more creative endeavors such as further service!
I have given you much to think about. I know that you will ponder my words carefully, for we enter a most critical time in the evolution of this planet. Maha Chohan Paul, the Representative of the Holy Spirit to this earth, has named this a year of Illumined Obedience to the Presence of God I AM. As you remain within the I AM consciousness, Illumined Obedience is the only possible outcome!
Relax now into the enfolding arms of your Presence, and enter the Silence with Me. Breathe deeply of this great and gentle Silence. This is My Home. I AM happy to welcome you here, for it is your home also. Abide with me for awhile, dear chelas. My Heart patiently awaits the day that you will come home to stay, if such be your desire. Until then, wait, I say; wait upon the Lord!
