Deep in the heart of the African jungle, it is quite possible
that a very beautiful diamond would be little valued by the natives there. Of
course, since attraction to light is inherent within the life of all men, such
lifestreams might admire its flashing brilliance, but to them it would be of
small practical value n their everyday living. However, in the more “civilized”
marts of the world, such a gem would be of tremendous interest, admiration and
value, as well as being much sought after.
Now, so much more valuable than a mere diamond (which, after
all, is but the condensation of certain elements of this world that there is
really no good comparison) is the divine destiny of every man—that glorious
ascension in the light! You see, in the case of the native in the jungle, he
values a precious gem so little because of his ignorance concerning its worth.
Just so, today, the masses of mankind live in the jungle of their own darkened
consciousnesses—most of which are almost completely filled with their own
discordant thought and feeling forms—these constantly being created by them
through the qualified release of their own life which beats their hearts as it
flows unceasingly from that glorious “I AM” Presence—the source of their very
being. Therefore, to the average individual in embodiment here, encompassed
about as he is by the solving of the so-called “problems” of daily living, the
transcendent idea of his ultimate God-freedom from every “problem”—the ascension
in the light—is of little more immediate value to him than(than twice in
original) the diamond to the native in the jungle—simply because he does not yet
accept its worth. Do you see?
Mankind en masse on this planet today know not from whence
they came, why they are here or where they are going. Can you even imagine then,
beloved chelas, how fortunate you are to have been told of the goal of the
ascension, having been given our help to enable you to accept its
possibility—keeping that possibility ever before you—as well as showing you the
ways and means by which you may attain it? Then, too, at any moment you may have
the loving, ready and willing assistance of those who have already attained, to
help you also to achieve your personal victory!
I assure you that the ascension in the light is a goal so
magnificent that such tremendously illumined lifestreams as the beloved Gautama,
beloved Jesus—and, even before their time—the great Zarathustra and Enoch of
old—could and did give all they were and had (heart, soul, mind and strength) to
the pursuit and attainment of this goal, until they had made it their own. The
ways and means they used to accomplish such a victory certainly are most worthy
of the attention, close study and even emulation by the wisest men in embodiment
on earth today!
When mankind suffer a damaging wound or desire counsel
concerning the state of their physical health, do they not inquire of their
friends as to the name of a reputable physician? Then, because of their
confidence in such an one, they accept his diagnosis of the situation and
suggestions as to how it can be remedied. Then, would it not be the part of
wisdom and discretion too for every lifestream in embodiment here today (all of
whom need such assistance—spiritual and otherwise) to be open-minded enough at
least to consider the aspects of truth which we have presented to the world—so
clearly explained and even reasonably logical to the outer mind? Mankind should
be willing to consider and then accept these gifts—considering them from the
heart (which, incidentally, will reveal truth to one if he will allow it do so),
rather than from just the outer intellectual consciousness.
Remember always! Everything done by the ascended host has a
definite purpose behind that activity and, somehow, there must be a balance made
for the energies expended by them in any project—preferably, of course, from
those blessed by them. Now, while we are so very grateful for your interest in
our endeavors and that you are willing to become “cups” of our assistance to
mankind by receiving our radiation each week as it pours to you through your
reading of these “Pearls of Wisdom,” surely you must understand that, in return
therefore (from your “side of the veil”) the law requires that you do your part.
That “part” is to so live daily in this world of form as, shall we say, to
become miniature foci of our light and love, endeavoring to make of your
personal worlds miniature lighthouses to all men. This would expand the light
and love of our Presence, right wherever you are! Such foci in the world of form
are so much needed today, adding as it were to the quantity of our light
released here. Then, as you progress in expanded consciousness and greater
release of light’s powers, it would add to its quality also.
So, beloved ones, I know you see with me that those of mankind
who have accepted the reality and assistance of the ascended host should not
think, feel, say or do that which would be out of keeping with what the Great
Ones represent. Our blessed chelas who are taking their initiations in the outer
experience world today should endeavor constantly to bring their worlds into
such divine order that our mastery shows forth through them—in their daily
living—even as you would be required to do were you to be taking your training
in the retreats of the Great White Brotherhood. We have answered your every call
and have given you every assistance your worlds would accept. We know you do
treasure these gifts from us and, in return, will endeavor to give us your
conscious acceptance and use of our help, to the practical freeing of your own
worlds and those of your fellow man—until you come “home” to us—“to go out no
more”!
The time of the “unmasking” of truth is at hand! No longer
shall the knowledge of its beneficent laws be held within the secret retreats of
the Great White Brotherhood. Centuries ago, in speaking prophetically of today,
our beloved Jesus said: “That (wisdom) which is done (held) in secret shall be
shouted from the housetops (in a later day!)” We are now in that day—when all
mankind shall be compelled to know the truth of their own being and be made
aware of their divine destiny—which is the attaining of the goal of their
ascension in the light!
“O thou light of the ascension! Thou wondrous goal—the
knowledge of which is now being offered to all and the possibility of its
attainment by even the least in the kingdom of unascended mankind—today! Thou
first and highest principle of the instruction released by the Great White
Lodge! Let the day come quickly when neither man, woman nor child shall be in
ignorance of thy transcendent service.”
I bless you with the fullness of my love!
