“Feed My Sheep!”
Part III

And so I put forth the plea to you this night: Feed my sheep with generous application of the fires of freedom, calls to Archangel Michael, who will defend the faith in the hearts of all mankind against every foe, against every form of iniquity. Then when you have set the stage, when you have prayed and perhaps fasted on behalf of one whom you love much, then come forth with the spoken Word and give the understanding as it can be received by a consciousness both protected and freed from darkness.

There are times when you can only make a quick call or give the salutation, for your encounters are but brief. There are other situations where your friendship with individuals is of long standing; you sense you have an obligation to bring the light to these individuals, to family members. And in this case I say, feed my sheep in this manner: Give them the bread of Life; but serve it on a platter that makes the bread desirable, assimilable, understandable to the one to whom you are speaking.

You must also remember, however, that because all Life is one, if one part of Life rejects the light, it is wrong to continue in endless effort to pour out upon that individual whose free will will not choose the light all the dispensations of light of Hierarchy which we give into your keeping. It is better to go north, south, east, and west to extend a cup of cold water in the name of the Christ; <1> for millions are hungering and thirsting for that cup. And therefore, while you spend your time with those who are yet rebels to our cause, you may be losing time with precious hearts who need the light.

And this is where the test of family mesmerism comes to the fore; for you cannot spend an entire life, an entire embodiment, waiting for members of your family to come out of their darkness, their selfishness, their self-centeredness. For after all, when you stand before the Lords of Karma, what excuse will you have for not having gone forth to claim the light in many souls and for many souls? And I tell you, to waste precious hours and precious moments in purposeless activity on behalf of those whom you know are simply not ready because of their free will–this is folly and I say it is a sin.

Thus as you study the Law and come to understand more and more the equity of opportunity, the fact that every soul in embodiment has a minimum of three chances in each life to accept the light and the Law and the teaching, why then tarry you? Why weary yourselves? For God and His emissaries and the angels of light are able to arrange those circumstances for them–the very same circumstances which we have arranged for each one of you to make your ascent into the light possible, enjoyable, and definitely a part of your evolution.

In my address I have chosen to give you various points of the Law and aspects of the Law which you could tuck into the folds of the seamless garment <2> you are weaving. For even though you might forget some of these lessons, when the time comes to be tested, you will recognize and you will remember just how much you know, how much you are aware of.

Thus, precious hearts, we send you forth with many blessings; and you are laden with light, with opportunity. Need I caution you that in the third quadrant of the year are the greatest tests for the earth? Need I say that man’s consciousness is volatile? It can be ignited and exploded in any given moment by forces who calculate the stealing of mankind’s energies.

Thus be careful not to let your consciousness become engaged in these energies in motion which are the emotional bodies of mankind out of control. But make it your goal instead to work for the victory of the light, for the victory of control, and appeal to the hierarchies of light who can give you the tutoring to manifest that God-control. Thus will Life prosper. Thus will the torch of Hierarchy continue to burn brightly. Thus will America celebrate the two hundredth year of her independence. Thus will the light continue to go forth. For if you triumph–and you can if you will–all things can change and can move forward in the spiral of victory.

The planet is literally in your hands, precious hearts. How does it feel to hold a planet as Hercules holds up the earth? How does it feel to have reached the age of responsibility where you know that what you do when you arise in the morning and the application you make can make the difference for a billion souls? Is that an awesome responsibility? Or do you run to seize that responsibility with the alacrity of lightbearers? I think that your souls are ancient enough, that your momentums are ancient enough that you can shoulder that responsibility. For after all, if you will not, who will? Who will stand forth and say, “Yes, Father, yes, Mother, I understand that I count in Cosmos, that what I do and think and feel and say makes the difference in every way”?

Remember our love. Remember that the lifewaves of Venus are cheering you on, are sending their love, are waiting for you to come home. Remember what you can begin to spin as a fantastic story–a story that is not only a story, but a memory and a truth and a record. Remember that you can win for the very next generation schools of Hierarchy where they can begin to approach the attunement with Cosmic Masters that marks the first level of instruction in our universities.

All this is clay in your hands that can be molded. It can be molded and it shall be molded as you work with the Great Potter to produce noble images, noble designs and forms. And by the power of the crystal talismanic magic, use those forms as magnets to draw all mankind into the light.

Let no man take thy crown. <3> Let no man take thy mastery. Let no man usurp your consciousness, your will, your desire. But be the Law in action–not a law unto the human self, but a law unto the Divine Self. Thus shall God’s will be done; thus shall God’s will appear; thus shall God’s will be made known.

I have confidence that you will cooperate with the legions at Shamballa, with Gautama Buddha. I have full confidence. Will you give me your confidence? Will you give me your trust? Will you remember that in the darkest hours of trial there is One and there are many whom you can trust to lead you safely to the Promised Land of attainment, never to go down again into the depths of self-degradation?

Thus Hierarchy is confident in you, and you must be confident in Hierarchy. And this is the arc from the Buddha to the Hierarch of Venus. For our mutual confidence keeps the planets in balance, keeps the atoms coalesced to the centers of manifestation. And so the basis of Hierarchy is cosmic trust; for all Hierarchs trust that all other Hierarchs will do their part in sustaining the cosmic forcefields necessary to the manifestation of the entire warp and woof of creation.

There is no such thing as a lack of trust among lightbearers. Thus you place your trust in the Mother of the Flame to keep the Flame for you, and so she shall. But her trust is in God on high, and by that trust she fulfills God’s will and God’s plan. And so, you see, if you trust the God and not the sod, the Divine Ego and not the human, then your trust will never be misplaced and you yourself will never let down another seeker, another child who depends on you for succor and nourishment. Place your trust in Him and all will be well.

Thus I take my leave of you in wisdom’s flame, in the quiet peace of gentleness, of the Buddhic Consciousness, the peace that passeth understanding. <4> And I shall leave to you the light explosions and the grand finale of “Freedom 1973.” But know as you gaze into the sky and hear the sound that Cosmic Beings, cosmic angels, Cosmic Masters are exploding light, releasing light, showering light! And if you look closely, you will see their faces among the stars, among the heavenly patterns, and you will know that

Heaven is full of angel faces peeping through,
Watching, waiting just for you
To come up higher, to raise up higher–
To raise up on the stairway of Life
The golden ladder of light’s ascending flame,
To raise up higher upon that ladder
The golden torch of illumination’s flame.

And so Lady Venus, our cohorts of light one and all–
We take our leave of you this night,
And we retire to our focus of the sun
From whence we will send to you each one
The light of far-off worlds which beaming bright
Will guide you through the night.
