“The Vessel of Kindness”
By the very Light of my heart I am propelled to this place, even as the very Light of your heart does meet the ray of my own. It is good to see chelas in the West who can raise up a flame and keep it, who know the science and who could if they would even raise up a greater flame.
Now in this hour of our communion, I draw you to the etheric octave and my retreat in Kashmir. It is the place where Jesus often stays. And from that point we send out the Call that all souls of Light who have had attainment on earth, who have known the bonding to the living Christ (as those of the golden age on Atlantis under Jesus Christ did) might have in this hour and day the opportunity for the fulfillment of their mission unless, of course, that mission requires them to return again to earth. For we must not, as has been said, skim off all of the cream in one dispensation.
Therefore we search by the Mind of God all souls who are destined to have the victory in this hour. We start with this room and with concentric rings of souls upon souls who are a part of this activity and those beyond it who have managed to increase Light and hold it in this life.
Blessed ones, we come up with a certain million of souls on earth who could be ready and could take their ascension at the conclusion of their present life. This would be a great boon to the planet and set the momentum for that path. The great boon, of course, would also be that they should be in the earth and set the example and become with us world teachers.
By the grace of God and our Lord Maitreya and Manjushri, I share the office of World Teacher with our beloved Jesus the Christ. We, then, have called for you to become world teachers, to take our training at Maitreya’s Mystery School in Montana, to know the disciplines of the Path, to come into alignment with that Holy Christ Self and to surely be the loving presence of the heavenly hosts unto all whom you meet.
May you desire to increase in the presence of the Holy Spirit! May you know that aura of Love.
You have been called to Pentecost and to prepare for it this year. I bid you gather in our groups to recite the powerful mantras of the Spirit of the Resurrection and the resurrection flame to increase and increase and increase the Light, forming a magnet in the aura to draw to you even the greatest that the Great Law can allow you of that dispensation of the Holy Spirit: it is the love of the Spirit of God raised up in you, permeating every pore of your being, exuding joy to all life!
This is the capacity for conversion. As you see it in your teacher here, may you also become it. For surely this, beloved, will be to you even the Light of Helios and Vesta.
Visualize the rings of the aura surrounding you, increasing and increasing now. Visualize those rings of pink and of ruby fire, of golden yellow and of golden pink glow-ray. Be in this presence and let the power of that presence be the stilling of the demons.
Would you not know the Power, Wisdom and Love of conversion through your heart, beloved?
Is this not a gift of the Holy Spirit that you would give almost anything for, anything that is lawful in God to give?
I say pray for it and give your mantras for it! This gift is accessible to you. You can have it, beloved!
Think of what you do in a twenty-four-hour cycle. Think of those inconsequential attention-getters that pull your energy this way and that. Think of drawing that energy back to yourself, taking it unto the center of the sun of your being. Think of storing that energy in the heart, saving it that it might become a magnet of the Central Sun.
Think of those things that you have accomplished or acquired in life, whether knowledge or the world’s goods or friendships or whatever has been your desire. Think of how when you have fulfilled your desires you have somehow neutralized the desire itself. And so there does come a time when you no longer need that certain thing or someone or situation to give you happiness or a sense of completeness. It is finished. Now you have the same energy
to seek, to fulfill the desiring of the God within you.
I know, for I have trained novices, neophytes, and those well advanced on the Path that it is an unwritten law that each one gets what he wants in life. For the want is the sense of absence of something that becomes the desire to have it.
Now then, can you not see how many things life has brought to you to fill in every need of your heart and mind?
Will you not feel, then, the completeness of God within you even though you yourself may not feel complete?
May you lean upon that wholeness, love that wholeness that God is and enter it. And may you conclude this series of lectures and dictations by a reexamination of your goals and the focus of your heart.
Precious is the light of the mind! Precious is the light of the eye and the third eye! Do not waste it with attention on outer things and TV and everything that passes through the day.
Look within! Let the energy build. Let the Light of the Divine Mother ascend upon the altar of your being. Be a concentrated center of Light and make yourself a representative of the Great White Brotherhood where you are. Be God’s rep where you work and serve and where you live, but tell no one. Just be it.
May you know the one great quality that is sought after that comes from the auric rings of Maitreya and his true bodhisattvas. It is the quality of kindness, almost overlooked in this hurried world, almost thought of as unnecessary.
Yet what do you remember most about anyone? A kindness, a gesture, a sincere concern, a practical helpfulness, a perception of your need before you yourself know it.
Kindness, beloved, is an aura of strength. Until you encounter someone who has that full-bodied flame, which surely relates to Maitreya, you may not even know just what the fullness of the cup of kindness can be.
I speak of this, for it is well for the student on the Path to select a virtue and in selecting the virtue that he will make his own, his signet and his mark in life, study the course of Maitreya and the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas as to what they consider to be the most essential element whereby the blessed tie can be made from their hearts to those who suffer–suffer by their misconceptions, suffer by many things that have been told to them by false teachers, a tangled web of deception that must be untangled <7> and cast into the fire.
Yes, beloved, understand that the kindness of the Buddha is an all-encompassing, all-enfolding aura. May you long to have it because you desire, in the spirit of Lord Ling, to bring the flame of God-happiness to all.
Many, many people are not happy, beloved. They surely are miserable in their souls yet cannot even articulate what pain they experience in aloneness. People who are surrounded by many yet feel unloved, for they do not love themselves as God–they have needs.
I ask you to begin to rejoice in the givingness of self that meets the very specific need of anyone or everyone who is near you. This is the mark and the sign of a true teacher. You do not have to be perfected in elocution or the delivery of the Word, but you must be effective in opening up the heart and releasing that kindness, which all will feel no matter how limited your powers of speech or your vocabulary.
When I was embodied as Saint Francis I did not always have the power of speech. It grew upon me and in me. As I communed with all levels of life–the animal kingdom, the birds and the flowers–I began to know a language of love. And in the imparting of love and the multifaceted vibrations of love, I would tune in to the particular note, the wavelength, that would summon the forces of elemental life and I would see the aura and the rejoicing.
Yet I myself had moments of great burden and sorrow as I moved through life and sought to perfect the order. At the end, beloved, I thought I had failed, failed to convince my brethren that the vow of poverty and Mother Poverty herself would give the greatest virtue and foundation to the Church.
Thus, beloved, so it does occur even in the life of one who might be considered a saint that karma does descend, that the dark night of the soul takes its season and toll. And the Dark Night of the Spirit is the blackest night of all.
Sometimes it requires lifetimes to pass through the density of karma and the initiations that allow the soul finally to enter into the arms of the beloved Christ, the Bridegroom. The closer you come to that living Christ, the more you will be aware of the paucity of the human self and its absence of capacity to hold such a Light. In contrast to the living Word that thou shalt enter, thou shalt feel naked and without anything of worth.
But this is a positive experience, beloved–the “I the nothing and Thou the All” concept. <1> This is not self-condemnation or an absence of self-worth. It is a very precious moment when the soul, divested of all but her love for God, may enter in and in entering in be transformed. And a Christ is born and the fusion is won and the soul is no longer perceived as soul.
Have you ever heard us speak of the soul of Saint Germain or the soul of El Morya?
You have not, beloved, because from the hour of the alchemical marriage of the soul to the Holy Christ Self unto the ascension in the Light, that soul does become the integrated individuality in God. The soul is no more but the totality of being is the God-manifestation. The soul has been assumed unto her Lord and her Lord is now her name, her living awareness.
So, you see, beloved, the potential has become the full realization, and the potential can no longer be found. Therefore that which is to be and then to be absorbed and replaced by the greater Be-ness must at that moment, that moment of the passing, even sense the self as inadequate and instantly know that the True Self is the adequacy in God.
Yes, beloved, it is ordained and willed by the Holy Spirit that we speak from the highest octaves of Light to you through our Messenger. For you are worthy, you deserve that Light; and yet what is worthy in you but that Light itself?
Come ye into the Light!
Know, then, that you have witnessed individuals burdened by demons who fear and tremble and are outraged that the Word of God is released, that it cannot be stopped, that it does go forth. Think what a desecration of Jesus Christ it is that one who calls himself a Christian should deny the soul’s communion with and speaking to her Lord and deny the Lord’s answering!
But what is the wonder of it all is that the soul, the individual calling himself Christian, cannot see through the lie of the demon nor separate himself out from the tie to the demon who does voice the condemnation of the very process of the transmission of the Word of God through the Messenger.
To realize that this supposed worshiper on the Path cannot know the difference between the voice of God and the Holy Spirit and the voice of foul spirits speaking through himself, herself, denying the very reason for religion itself, which is to bind the soul back to God, <8> [is a wonder in itself]. How can this [binding of the soul back to God] happen in logical succession if there be not communication [betwixt the soul and God]?
“In the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God, is God, without which that which was made was not made.” <2> If the Word is in the beginning, beloved, I assure you it is in the ending. I assure you that there are wolves in sheep’s clothing and false pastors and the seed of the Wicked One <9> from the highest orders of the fallen ones who have entered into the marts of religion, making commerce of souls and the Path itself.
Think, then. Of course, complete poverty is not practical. But when there is the espousal of poverty, beloved, then you easily do away with those who have come for the money. For they will not stay under a vow of poverty, for the things of this world are yet an allure to them, a part of their desires. And the entities of materialism surround them and place in their minds desires for this and that, and they do not recall that the energy of God is limitless.
And if you put all of the energy that God has given to you in one direction, to be the vessel of the Holy Spirit and the vessel of kindness, I tell you, you will do it! You will do it! And if you do not do it inside of a fortnight or a year, a twelvemonth, beloved, you will know one thing of a certain–that you had other desires greater than to be the love of the Holy Spirit.
Pain is a weaning process. We have allowed our Messenger and chelas to know pain and the very depths of pain and loss and persecution, and so on, but only because our Messenger and certain chelas have welcomed whatever discipline or initiation. For as you know, only the chela can create the Guru and in so doing will have the full ministration of the Guru.
Some will say, “Don’t tell me that, Kuthumi! I do not want that kind of a path. Give me a path of peace and pleasantness, nonaggravation, no acceleration of anxiety or tension or frustration.”
Well, beloved, we bow to the free will of every individual.
You set the limits or the limitless nature of your path.
If you acknowledge something, some love or sweetness of the Light in your Messenger, then have it! Have it yourself, beloved, for all things of God can be thine if you will but be one-pointed.
If you will rest your heart on kindness, I guarantee that you will acquire many other virtues in the process.
In order to be kind you must be practical, you must be thoughtful, you must be about the business of your Father-Mother God. You must not waste time or energy. You must not be self-indulgent or subject to highs and lows.
Always ready with the cup of kindness of the elixir of everlasting Life, you must maintain a vibration [that is] able to carry it and never be without it. Kindness must acquire wisdom lest people take advantage of your kindness and not receive it as a gift that is holy, to be treasured.
Without power, then, how will you propel kindness abroad in the land? Therefore, to fulfill the gem of kindness you must get, with all thy getting, the power of God.
Well, how do you get the power, beloved, if you do not harness your free will to the will of God?
So now you see, to embody the kindness of the Buddha you must know, of course, the will of God and adore it and embody it. This is kindness to God and yourself with a motive. As with the sling, it is the pulling back so that there is energy in letting go for the delivery of kindness that will heal a soul.
Kindness must develop [in you] memory or systems of memory that you might remember to pray for so many who need that kindness, and pray for them by name.
My beloved, see, then, the facets of the snowflake, of the jewel. See kindness at the heart and [see] all of the extensions of that particle in geometric formation being as a lace pattern so that by the power of the hexagon you can in all directions radiate kindness.
Thus the Path is for those who are shaping their desirings, who love the desirings of God in their hearts, who sing, “Jesus, joy of man’s desiring...,” and truly know the fullness of that joy.
O minister to life, beloved, and more! Now embark upon your true mission to be world teachers. If you desire to place yourselves under our tutelage, come to the ranch if you will. And if you cannot, study where you are. But be assured that when you apply to us, we will begin that course and direct you in the ways of the training that you need. And if you call to us, we will see to it that you will encounter every individual on earth whom your karma requires you to contact and give the gift of understanding.
Is not the gift of understanding the gift of kindness?
Aye, it is. Surely it is.
Is there no greater unkindness than to leave someone in ignorance?
I think not. More harsh than a thrashing is to be so insensitive to the pleading of a soul bound by the ignorant carnal mind as to leave that one without the understanding whereby the soul might escape from the prison house of that carnal mind.
I AM Kuthumi. This Messenger has been my disciple for centuries on and off in the Himalayas between other incarnations. The bond is very close, beloved. You can trust this heart as an open door to my heart.
And as some of you may not know, I come specifically on a mission to assist you in the resolution of your psychology, <3> your relationships and your ties to Father, Mother, Son and Holy Spirit. I will always come to you when you call to me.
And, yes, I will be a part of your “master mind alliance” <4>as you form tight alliances with trusted friends, devotees on the Path with whom you share a crystal vision of a world to come, with whom you have plans for a specific project.
If you use the “I AM Light” decree <5>with all of its visualizations and mantric force, if you will take the teachings the Messenger has given and give the call to the I AM Presence and Holy Christ Self to enter the superconscious, the conscious, the subconscious and the unconscious mind, you will find yourself day by day more in control of these four lower bodies, who are your servants, each one a vessel for the fulfillment of your mission.
I come with profound compassion.
And compassion, is it not a form of kindness?
I come with it, beloved, for I know that the touch of compassion as I touch your heart, caress your cheek and smooth the brow does make you aware that one loves you, that it is I, that I understand, that I am with you.
Take the “I AM Light” decree as a mantra. Give it nine or thirty-three times for nine or thirty-three days. See how I can help you in your circumstance.
Circumstance is but a grid of consciousness consisting of your karma and your psychology. If you change these, you will change your circumstance. I will show you how but it is not lawful for me to provide the energy. By giving the mantra, you give me the energy.
Then, beloved, study the books on psychology recommended by the Messenger and know that the violet flame will heal and transmute. The Healing Thoughtform and the Emerald Matrix will seal [the pattern of perfection], will bring about change [for the better, will heal and restore to wholeness].
Some of you understand the process of a healing crisis when you seek to fast and [pray and] purge the body. Know, then, that there is also a spiritual healing crisis. If you send much violet flame into the temple, much substance will come to the surface. If you are not aware of this, you may not know that that is the very moment to increase the violet flame and the calls to Astrea and to seek counseling [for the soul’s resolution]. For so many things tumble out [of the psyche] at once and there they are on the table before you. They will either go into the flame or back into the subconscious, depending on your understanding of how to deal with those conditions.
This is why we have ministers and counsellors in this church and why you must also learn to fulfill those roles. How better to learn than to go through the process yourself. And therefore study so that you can give positive suggestion, support and uplift to those in need and [so that you can] be keenly aware when one of greater professional qualifications is needed to help someone out of certain patterns of the psyche or out of the maze of that labyrinth of the unconscious. Wise ones and elders in this church have much experience to offer you.
May you know the joy of renewal by coming to Lord Maitreya’s retreat at the Royal Teton Ranch this summer. Whether for the conference or a longer stay, it is good to retreat for a season, to be recharged in Light and to take your stand as [you are, one upon one,] Church Universal and Triumphant.
You are the lively stones <6>and the living Church! A stone of kindness is needed in the foundation. May you be that stone, and many of you. Thus will the foundations be strengthened for the greater superstructure to come.
From the foundation to the highest steeple, may you know that your temple is the living Church and the altar of your heart the place where the flame does burn. Walk in the integrity of the Holy One of God and know that surely and truly your hour of fulfillment is come!
I speak to everyone here, great or small, with lesser or greater problems. I speak to everyone on earth who is a part of the million souls that we would raise up, that they might raise up others. I say, you can do it! You can make it! You can go all the way to God and you can begin right now.
I am with you always in the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am your Saint Francis, your Kuthumi, your brother on the path of your life forever–if you will have me.
