The Golden Flame of God
Happiness
To the dear hearts who yearn for God’s Happiness and shall have it by sharing
it with all life:
Our beloved Ascended Master Hilarion speaks:
The glory of happiness and its transcendent value as a
blessing to all life is immeasurable. In the average human experience, there
are all too few even tiny moments of “fragmentary” happiness in a whole
embodiment and, of course, such moments become dearly cherished memories in the
later lives of those to whom they come.
Now—certainly—it does not require an illumined genius to be
able to realize that such a state of affairs is not now and never was the
intention of a heavenly Father who is all love—and who, in himself, is such a
tender and solicitous expression of that love as few unascended can understand.
It matters not whether one be a conscious chela of the ascended host; whether
one be a student of some metaphysical “school of thought”; whether one be of
orthodox belief or whether one understands anything at all of the laws of the
universe or not!
Deep in the heart of everyone—within the blazingly beautiful
threefold flame of life itself which is anchored there, there lives a focus of
the God-virtue of happiness—because, being one of the virtues of the Godhead
itself, the desire for happiness is inherent within all life.
From our Temple of Truth at Crete, as our Brotherhood there
convened recently around our Council Table, there has come forth the
determination to make a supreme endeavor during this new year to flood forth
into, through and around humanity, all the evolutions of earth still unascended
and the actual substance of the planet itself, our feelings and enjoyment of the
golden flame of God-happiness. Remember, dear hearts—this flame is already
God-qualified happiness from our octave of expression and can never be
requalified by the human! This flame shall do its perfect work! Consciously
let it into your worlds every day!
Surely every sincere chela of the ascended ones knows full
well that it is their desire—as true messengers of God himself—to have all life
(not only the human but elemental kingdom as well) share this feeling of
happiness universally. Every lifestream (spiritually illumined or not) is a
member of the family of God’s love.
The expressing of human qualities has a similar effect upon
the beauty of life’s divine pattern as does the ruffling of the feathers of a
bird—the beauty of its design is distorted. However, when God-qualities are
expressed, the energies are in alignment with truth and the beauty of the divine
pattern is revealed. So, we of the ascended host neither acknowledge the
reality of nor give our power of attention to the unfortunate human qualities
which sometimes seem to possess mankind, making them act in such a way as to
bring their mistakes to the attention of all, through the front pages of your
newspapers. In our dealings with all men—conscious chelas as well as those who
have not yet acknowledged our reality or our service—we are only cognizant of
that immortal threefold flame of eternal truth within every heart—its beauty and
happiness presently held as a prisoner within the “shell” of human personality.
Did you ever think of how much glamour the passing of time has
cast upon the lifestreams of those who today are considered to be and worshipped
as “saints” and “sages”? If you think about it a moment, they were not always
so—for, in their imperfect and unascended state of consciousness, perhaps at
times they did that which would not have been attractive to you at all. I tell
you the truth when I say that it is the great mercy of life which prevents each
of you from being aware of every past embodiment you have had which did not
always express truth! Those who would exploit mankind often choose to favor
them by revealing to them some glory from previous lives—but it is not our
desire to deceive anyone. We speak only truth! Now, should it not bring you
happiness to know of a certainty that if these Great Ones to whom we have
referred have attained their victory you can?
Now, beloved chelas—those of you who today are endeavoring to
follow the light and love for its own sake—will consciously divest yourselves of
“human” purposes and will endeavor daily to lovingly cooperate with the
admonishment of beloved Jesus, beloved John and all the Great Teachers of real
truth all through the ages: “Love one another.” If suddenly there should occur
an expansion of your consciousness so that you would be able to see as we do,
the numbers of lifestreams in the world around you who are calling to Deity for
help, you would quickly and clearly understand the great need of eliminating
from your world all the pettiness of human affairs—taking thought only of the
opportunities of the cosmic moment which is at hand, to do your best. This
“best” is to serve only the light which can and shall set all life here
eternally free!
Therefore, beloved of our hearts—you who would be “arms of our
Presence” in the world of form—representing our freeing and forgiving love to
all life, let not the day go by without at least one conscious endeavor to
expand our happiness to all. Make at least one being smile and, for all you
meet, make life seem worthwhile! So do you consciously expand “the light of the
world.”
“I AM”—radiantly yours—
Hilarion
Note: Gracious Reader! The staff of The Lighthouse of
Freedom decrees for you and yours a most God-victorious New Year in 1959—the
best you have ever known in every way. May we offer you a few lines which,
repeated often as a prayer— will do much to make it so:
|
|
My very own beloved “I AM” Presence—
With a brand New Year before me—
Let me do my very best
With all my God-abilities,
To bring life
peace and rest.
So let me live and serve all
That, at the close of
day—
The life in all is happier
Because I passed that way!
Vondir to you all!
