Beloved Children of God:
Faith is the energizing power of God the "I AM" Presence. It is a channel through which the Life Energy of the individual flows forth to energize whatever he chooses to manifest in his world. Faith is an inherent quality within all Life. The constructive power of the attention and the controlled senses are instrument of Faith, but Faith itself is a conscious pouring forth of Light Energy which energizes that which the individual believes to be real, and which, through his Faith, permits to act in his world.
The good men living in the world today as well as the tyrants living in the world today all are men of Faith - the good men, in the Faith of their inherent God-Power to help them raise their fellowmen; the tyrants, in the Faith of their own ability to achieve their transient feeling of power and glory at the expense of the suffering and torment of others - all using the quality of Faith to achieve their ends.
The point I wish to make is, that the chela does not have to acquire Faith (there is no such thing as a person without Faith). It is but a matter of training himself to allow the Faith of his being to flow only into that which he wishes to manifest in his world. Man is so prone to accept the reports of his outer senses as irrefutable! When he sees an appearance of illness or malignancy, he feels justified in his mind in saying, "I have seen this and therefore it must be real". The Faith of his lifestream then connects with that condition, and Faith (being an energizing power of God) by the pressure of his Faith does he make the seeming condition manifest.
A man watching an individual walking down a pathway seems to see him shrink in size until he becomes no larger than a dot on the landscape. His physical sight reports that his friend has shrunk to thumbnail size. Yet he has no Faith in this report because he knows it is an optical illusion. I ask, therefore, are the visionary faculties of man to be taken as conductors of truth and allowed to affect the quality of his Faith?
The constructive use of Faith is constantly sustaining the state of one's being every second throughout eternity in positive assurance that God's Holy Will is good. When the chela is so impregnated with the inner conviction that God, the "I AM" Presence (in which he lives and moves and has his being) is the only Power that can act to improve, redeem and raise his consciousness and world then his Faith is constantly energizing that God-Power flowing through and redeeming all human appearances.
This practice is not mastered in the matter of a few days' or weeks' concentration but is developed by a constant outpouring of that Faith in God's goodness in which all Perfected Beings dwell. All Life, except that evolving upon the Planet Earth abide in perfect Faith in the goodness of God, the "I AM" Presence for all his children.
I bless you, today, with my Love and with my Faith in the ultimate achievement of your glorious Ascension.
Love and Blessings,
THE MAHA CHOHAN
