Fear not, little flock; it is indeed the Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
I AM come this day in a consciousness of the inner beauty that belongs to each and every one of you and to every lifestream upon this planet. In reverence of the spiritual hush of the ages is found the peace which does pass understanding. The power to transcend the mortal imper fections and to achieve the eternal glow-ray of my life— which is your own—is found in contemplation of the beauty of God.
Have you thought, blessed ones, of your life as my own? Then won’t you please be seated while you think upon it.
I recall well gazing into the faces of the multitude as I wandered the hillsides of Judea. And as I gaze into your countenances this day, I AM aware that some of you were there.
Peace, then, which passeth all understanding comes to you this day from the Father Eternal. The floral decor upon the mountains and hillsides, the sky at midnight sparkling with the stars shining like tiny dewdrops (cupped also within the flowers), the morning glory as it rises and opens to express its adoration to the sun—these are like the great adoration flame within your hearts!
This morning I AM calling to your attention the requirements of the hour to adore the perfection of God that is within you. Amplification of this great power of life and light is not a mere worded expression. It is the eternal reality of existence and being.
Mankind, through their familiarity with the world of form, have often tended to express the boredom of the mass mind. And therefore, lacking in proper reverence, they are not able to express the eternal power of God unto salvation which is a part of them and is never to be sundered from them except they consciously turn away from it.
It may seem difficult to you, blessed ones who love the light, to conceive that lifestreams can consciously turn away from the light. But I ask you to pause to ponder the fact that great wisdom which is not complete can sometimes be lured by the commonplace. And once it has fallen from the heights of the eternal snow-capped mountains of divinity it walks upon the sun-baked plains where the dried crust of mud is caked upon the boots of men as they trod the low places of earth.
Whether in the lowlands or the highlands of the expression of life, they are all the children of the eternal One. My love flows out today to those in the rice paddies of Korea, Japan and China as well as to the South American peoples, and it flows with equal potency to enfold the people of the teeming metropolises of this great nation.
My love is not confined to palaces; neither is it confined to great cathedrals. My love by its very quality is expansive. And yours ought to be also.
When the floodgates of your heart are opened, when at last you pause to realize that all the limitations which you have imposed upon the great God-free light within you must be removed to enable that life to find expression, there pours through you at last a great magnificent sun-like love of the Eternal which sweeps forth from you with dazzling rays and is the salutation of the dawn to all whom you meet. Love then springs upward eternally in this hope of perfection, and the hope of God becomes the hope of man. Man claims for his own the qualities of perfection which I do and which I AM today.
I AM the light of the world.1 And the light which I AM is the light which you are. In our sacred oneness, in the unbroken circle of our divinity, there is hope for all. I, Jesus, pour out to you this morning the fragrance of my Being, my God-design, my life, my energy. May it shed upon the pathway of the days and the years ahead a shining, guiding beam to all who will receive it and will lovingly appropriate its energy as cyclic energy—coming forth periodically, and yet pouring forth constantly to all who are able to receive it!
Let no lamentation enter your heart this day or ever concerning those of your brethren who, for some reason or another, seem unwilling to follow the path of light. The path of light is given to all and all ought to walk upon it. No man ought to betray another; no man ought to betray, least of all, himself. No man ought to seek but his own happiness—all ought to seek the universal expression of God-happiness for one another. Then the many-faceted talents of life shall come to the fore. And then in the social order of things and in the economic order as well as in the spiritual order, there shall come into manifestation the kingdom of heaven upon this earth.
I perceive the yearning in the hearts of men for an expression of divinity upon earth. Mankind realize that in form and matter and material substance there is merely an outpouring of divine energy and that this energy was intended to express here upon earth as it does express in heaven. That it does not so express now is not the fault of heaven or of heaven’s love, but it is the result of the petulance, the childishness, the ignorance and the frustration of human expression.
When mankind find that they are not able to express the nature of divinity because they are expressing human qualities, they often become frustrated and they weep and they feel helpless. When those moments come, precious chelas, lift your gaze high into the realm of the ascended masters; recognize yourselves not as children of earthly parents, attached for a brief span to someone or something, but know that you are one with your great life and light and love which is your Father, even as it is mine. Then you shall find release from all outer conditions and no power shall have dominion over you except the power of God. [10-second pause]
I pause now that you may consider for a moment how great is the power of God. Consider how great the power of God is that manifested in the lives of many of the prophets and saints of old. Consider this power as it manifested in my own world!
As I speak to you today, a great and magnificent company of angels led by beloved Archangel Gabriel is approaching the city of Washington. At this very moment, if mankind were able to see into their octave, they would recognize a great white cloud of light blazing toward this city from the east. And they would then realize that the kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of God, of the Lord, of the Christ of all, the universal Christ, is greater than all the kingdoms upon this earth.
These angels are summoned here this morning by the joint energies of the Great Divine Director, beloved Mother Mary and beloved El Morya. They are also accompanied by beloved Archangel Michael, and they come today to protect the immaculate concept for all life within the borders of this great nation, America. Their mission is to bring a greater amplification of light to the city of Washington, that from this “hub,” the “spokes” or rays of light shall go out and carry their radiation to the four corners of the earth.
I AM grateful today for your lifestreams, my beloved ones. I AM grateful for those of you who in full faith can realize my capacity and power to speak to you today as to the people in multitudes of old upon the hillsides of Judea. I AM grateful for the rapt attention which fans up like a flame from your hearts to magnify the God within all. I AM grateful for the power, the glory, the dominion and the beauty that is in your countenance.
Today I pray that the power and beauty and love of these angels shall entrance the God within you and draw that God flame within you to surge upward to meet the God flame in your mighty I AM Presence. And there, in divine union, will be a welding together of the masculine and feminine qualities of your own lifestream in one immaculate concept of perfection that shall produce for each of you a Manchild, the Christ in you, that shall universally rule and, ruling you uni versally, shall give you peace, making of twain one new man. In this great concept of adoration to God, there is the completion of the eternal cycle.
Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God is one! 2 Hear, O America, the LORD our God is one! From the schisms and divisions and the penetration of wrong human concepts into the mind that is intended to be so pure, mankind have fallen into a debacle of imperfection. Let them arise now in the coming year and, sweeping upon the tide of the immaculate concept, let them all enter into the realization of our Father who art in heaven! Let this kingdom of heaven in beauty and peace and perfection that expresses in my heart and in the heart of every ascended being take dominion over you and rule supreme everywhere I AM today and forever!
O blessed and beloved ones, in the kingdom of the Father there are only shining countenances. There are no dark or shadowed countenances in the heavenly kingdom. All are expressing as these candle flames—and even more magnificently—the light and the perfection and the beauty which they reflect from the very face of God. Can you do less? Can do you more?
In perfect balance of the threefold flame of your own divinity, I seal you in the immaculate heart of love, conceived by the Holy Spirit and brought into eternal manifestation by the breath of the eternal Father-Mother God. You are in truth the Universal Christ as you drink also the cup of which I partook.
My peace I leave with you. My peace I give unto you. The peace I give unto you is not the peace the world giveth.3 It is the peace of God. And I, Jesus, the Prince of Peace, speak to every human heart on this earth.
My peace I leave with you.
Thank you and good morning.
