To Our Gracious Readers Dedicated to Love’s Service the World Around—

The Beloved Ascended Master K-17 Speaks—

I AM one of heaven’s gentlemen, one of Saint Germain’s dearest and best friends who have long served the cause of freedom. My service, as many of you may know, concerns the gathering of such secret intelligence information and data as vitally affects the mankind of earth today, and relaying that information to the Karmic Board and the various councils of the Great White Brotherhood specifically concerned. You see, that which is done in secret among mankind, much of which has a destructive contemplated action, would become almost a world disaster if it remained unchecked, which is why it is done in secret in the first place!

Now, one of my duties is to gather pertinent information for the Council of Peace of the Great White Brotherhood (we have no war department, but we do have a peace activity). Whenever possible by cosmic law we prevent discord and destructiveness from taking any toll whatsoever on humanity. When that cannot be, we then seek to mitigate the unleashed forces of destruction and thus ease human misery in every way possible.

Do you see now, blessed ones, how I can truly say “He who dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High abideth under the wings of the Almighty”? My service by the power of the I AM Presence in action here is to bring mercy and protection to the people of earth by prevention of discord before it is turned loose. I specifically work with the beloved Elohim Cyclopea (the all-seeing eye of God) and Lord Michael, Prince of the Archangels, to offer protection to every divine plan unfulfilled until it manifests in dignity and cosmic grace in the physical appearance world.

Beloved Morya has asked me to write you this week because a real need exists for many chelas to serve together at the present time in loving cooperation for certain very specific purposes of the Brotherhood. Quite frankly, because of human recalcitrance the cosmic clock appears to be running later than we wish, and the entire council feels the need to speed up our service to the Earth. I am therefore especially honoring in this my letter to you the beloved Ascended Master Godfre who is the true father of his country—America (beloved Godfre was George Washington, the first president of that nation). Likewise we honor with him the blessed God of Freedom Saint Germain, and his lovely consort the beloved Portia Goddess of Justice, who offered so much assistance in the original founding of the thirteen states!

In paying gracious homage to these blessed cosmic beings we have taken into account their services for and on behalf of humanity and have clothed their ideas in physical form in part by inspiring certain lifestreams to create a stamp bearing one of the truly great precepts of the Brotherhood under the seal Credo: “Observe good faith and justice toward all nations,” signed George Washington. This stamp we asked the staff to use in mailing our Pearl to you this week wherever possible.

You will note the red, white and blue colors symbolizing America, also the words of Washington which Saint Germain inspired upon him as words to live by today, and the blessed scales of divine justice which are symbolical of Portia, the beloved Goddess of Justice (which all the world sorely needs today in order to balance their affairs and insure permanent peace). At inner levels this stamp is done in blue, white and gold, and wherever the red appears, there gold is.

Now we are especially interested in seeing both men and nations observing justice to one another in that spirit of the golden rule, which in the golden age was so widely used and loved. When mankind does obey Love’s edicts, they will quite naturally express in daily living the good conduct of heaven, thus rightly attaining citizenship with the great cosmic light itself!

Selfishness is the cause of all treachery among men and nations—and believe me I have cause to know! Most of you have heard it said that “money talks” and there are unfortunately a few big business men who are so short sighted as to think they can do business with the Communists. These have misused their power and influence and are secretly responsible for some of the lag in America’s scientific progress. They are wrong and their judgment is warped, but they think otherwise. Someday they will find this out—I hope before it is too late.

Therefore I ask you to call for the swift exposure of all who would betray the cause of freedom! Do this today! Give us the authority to guard and protect all that is near and dear to your heart. Also remember that discrimination and thought must be used by you in choosing just where you want to pledge your allegiance. You will never go wrong if you pledge your faith to the Mighty I AM Presence itself which is ever-safe and ever-ready rather than to the human which is never safe and never ready!

One who was ever-ready to answer freedom’s call was General George Washington. He was first in the love of his countrymen because his country was first in his love! His original intent was to establish a land where the foundations of a spiritual community would be laid, a place where freedom would flourish without limit and expand thence to all the world!

Now let me tell you the true meaning of community (you live in one do you not? Is it a real community as I reveal here?), which came from the root of communal. Its meaning is “come you into unity”, comm-u-nity or “come you into one-ness”—see? I am sure you realize that just because men may misuse a word does not alter its primal intended use, particularly where that use is both benign and significant.

Now the word commune, which means to most enlightened people “to talk with (God),” has been wrongly identified with the godless forces of Communism. This is one reason why I am explaining the beautiful God-meaning behind that word to counteract this destructive intent. Do you see? As the edge of a razor divides the way, perfect balance ever walking on the edge thereof, so I call to your attention that I am an advocate of cosmic jurisprudence and a secret agent of Light itself (which governs so perfectly the ebb and flow of the tides, the diastole and systole of the heart, the diurnal movements of the earth and the concentric movements of the heavenly bodies). And inasmuch as the law of divine justice is both wise and fair, I speak to you in that self-same spirit of cosmic prudence to assure you that just as Communism can be exceedingly dangerous to Earth’s people, so the appetites of human greed running rampant in even a so-called capitalistic nation can prove equally dangerous if uncontrolled.

That is in truth the crux of many of the present world problems. Exploitation, deceit, false measure, political corruption, etc., acting in the framework of society among both communistic and capitalistic nations, should be abolished everywhere! Cosmic honesty must replace all error for it is the very essence and spirit of a true world community!

When capitalism is unjust it is the surest way to play into the hands of the Communists—for more and more the so-called undeveloped and underprivileged of the world are coming to the knowledge that they have a right to expect and receive justice. When they are exploited and it is known, swift reaction follows. The power of freedom, so magnificent at inner levels or wherever truly expressing, when acting in unillumined men, does sometimes function by reason of misqualification and ignorance as a force for temporary liberation—where in many cases men merely exchange one master for another and human tyranny still remains to rule. Your Thomas Jefferson, Washington’s good friend, said, “I have sworn on the altar of Almighty God, eternal hostility to every form of tyranny over the mind of man”!

This is my report to you, my friends of the light, for I know the pent-up energy presently acting in mankind everywhere who are seeking freedom from every form of tyranny. I know too the statistics based on our cosmic census and so as a good friend I tell you and all the people of earth—wise is that man or that nation who will serve in the true spirit of the world community:—where all service is transformed into a form of worship and worship is no work! Joy is active there and serves as your “motor” as Saint Germain so often said—and it is ever so!

Now here are the things that need to be done—and if Capitalism does not arise to accept this honor life has conferred upon it by doing these things then I hesitate to think what will happen. The future you see is an opportunity for men and women everywhere, for all were endowed with some measure of divine resource—whether in monetary credits or talents for service. All can realize with ease the vivid truth that the living standard of the world must be raised—and quickly—not necessarily by a gift (except as an emergency measure) but certainly as a real, ever-present opportunity for the people of every land. The world cannot continue to happily exist half-starved and half well fed in these days of rapid communication, and therefore as the standard of the Ascended Masters has been raised over America so must it be extended and expanded by the blessed people of America and all who love freedom in every land, so as to fulfill that precept of divine destiny which observes good faith and justice to all nations! The wisdom ray also must shine everywhere to properly educate men, women and children of every land so they will be prepared to take advantage of these opportunities—not neglecting the cultivation of a sense of beauty in all of them. The availability of good housing, hospitals and laboratories to all men must be improved upon immeasurably and not continue to remain linked to the economically prosperous areas of the world. The desert must bloom as the rose, the swords and spears must become plowshares and pruning hooks, and physical, mental and spiritual abundance flourish everywhere if the Ascended Master blessings God intends are to be properly realized by all life everywhere—which is one!

Every Ascended Master will answer your call for the world triumph of right and freedom for all the earth and we need your call as our authority—do you see? America now free—citizens of freedom in every land, people of the earth, hear me now! The bells of freedom ring again, continually pealing forth not alone in Independence Hall but everywhere! The battleground of Valley Forge has become a world arena where new links of freedom and love’s communion between nations and peoples help build a world community without guile! George Washington risked everything even his life in the cause of freedom. He was a wealthy man with a life of ease before him, yet he chose to suffer at Valley Forge, losing also much of his own fortune. His last years were full of economic problems and debt which contrast with former days he never considered a sacrifice, gladly offering all to the cause of freedom which communes and is communal!

I salute the love that ever communes with God and is God—that self-same spirit which arises in God’s likeness to build a better future world for all mankind, in the spirit of the Masterbuilders of the race! Know with certitude that even your own childhood was secretly watched over by angelic protection, yea even that your own spiritual novitiate has now prepared you blessed ones to answer in some measure the secret cries rising from many hearts! Join me now in rendering a “secret service” for the ages by engulfing all deceit and all that is done in secret in the sacred fire of cosmic honor!

I AM that eternal good faith for you,
which communes with the secret place
of God in every heart,

the Ascended Master K-17
