Vol. 3 No. 5 - Lord Maitreya - January 29, 1960
To Our Gracious Readers Dedicated to Love’s Service the World Around—
The Beloved Lord Maitreya Speaks:
What is it you mirror, O children of Earth longing to be free? Is it the ephemeral fashions of the day or the eternal garments we wear? In this great duality of active life which derives its motion and energy from an inner flame, where goes your attention, beloved ones? Your petitions and requests pass often in review before me and I am so reminded at times in some instances of these words of two thousand years ago: “Ye know not what ye should pray for as ye ought (to know)”!
To pray, to petition or to decree is all an attempt to call forth that which you desire. If your manifold desires mainly exclude the inner but include much of the outer, you are eating the husks of life even if you receive all that for which you ask. But if you turn your attention, beloved ones, more and more often upon the ascended host, ought it not to mean that you shall mirror us even if at times somewhat imperfectly? For it will still be our image, God’s image, the Christ image, your own individualized flame of immortality which is being magnified within you for the pristine purpose of taking at last its rightful dominion which will set you free in accordance with the original divine plan!
You see where your treasure is there will your heart (your full attention) be also. And inasmuch as the words “by their fruits ye shall know them” do unto the present day have patent meaning, so shall that meaning be exemplified and called forth into living reality by your own Christlike daily conduct, my earnest ones.
Now the Great White Brotherhood is not a fable, nor is it a mysterious organization to be dangled before the uninitiated as something which sets you apart from others, or distinguishes you with temporal honor; neither is it intended to extinguish you in the ignominy of sincere but abject humility, but rather in the dignity of Divine Providence to provide an avenue or protected outlet where the Christ light of the many can go forth in ordered service, divine dignity and everliving purity. This will glorify that precious spirit of divine unity which good fortune has so wisely enscribed in these words from the Great Seal of the United States of America as E Pluribus Unum (One Out of Many) which in its greater meaning comes full-circle to read: Many Out of One in Unity of Action—political, educational and religious who shall draw nigh unto their Creator in a feeling of such oneness as will glorify the ageless Christ of all whose active unity is ever dwelling in the one light of every man!
The coming days should be exalted as priceless days of opportunity when the cosmic seed of our endeavors should sprout and expand the results of the recent far-reaching deliberations of the Darjeeling Council which are presently being revealed in many ways to the eyes of every sincere and alert student of the light whose own zeal and faith thus widen the panorama of Life’s love and the consequent loveliness of Life itself which will then expand to include the greater meaning of the lilies of the field and their glory; the sanctified life and its glory; the golden ripening grain and its glory; the heavenly manna and its glory; the Christ-victory that overcomes the world and its glory; and the nearness of the Presence of God to you hourly as you are held every moment in the keeping of his real and tangible holy angels and their glory!
I, Maitreya, wish for each one that all these glories of God, and many more, may become daily more real to you than even the changing skies themselves or the climate of Earth!
Behold, in the many planetary mansions of our Father and of his Christ, the light of every world twinkles its individual welcome across the starry realms of space right into each heart where that blessed anchored ray connects all with the same Christ-reality of immortal life.
I AM ever your attention to God each day in the victory
of freedom’s unfoldment—
Lord Maitreya
