A Chalice of Light

Act as God Acts, Ennoble Creation

Part 2

Speaking of chalices, I want to tell you that for a period of seventeen years I have been at work at inner levels in constructing a beautiful chalice to present to the Maha Chohan. And this very day it has been taken to him in his home in Ceylon. There it stands in his retreat.¹

The base of this magnificent chalice—which, incidentally, is snow-white in color—is set with three rings of precious stones, all resembling diamonds. One band, beloved ones, is pink, another is pale yellow, and the other is a radiant blue. These three concentric rings around the base of the chalice are charged with the wisdom of God, the will of God and the love of God.

The symbol therein is this: The will of God can be a great comfort to those who understand it, for when the will of God is understood, men will say, “God is good.” When the wisdom of God is understood, the “why” God has permitted this and the “why” God has permitted that will be answered in a manifestation of the great divine Law, flooding forth into the consciousness of men. And that, too, will be a chalice of comfort to them, for they will drink the comfort of divine wisdom. Could divine wisdom be uncomfortable? I challenge you, beloved ones, could it be? Then last, but not least, the radiance of divine love itself will be partaken of as a feeling—a feeling of infinite care, a care for each of the creatures of God, regardless of the size or dimension of that creature. The Father, in giving life, has given himself to all, and because he has given himself, he gives the infinite possibility of expansion to all; and the leaven of the Christ light poured out into the heart’s chalice of each individual is the greatest comfort they shall ever have.

Although they may seek on land and sea, in husband, in wife or in home, in brother or in sister, in name and fame or fortune or place, wherever they will go they will never find any place so wonderful, so magnificent and so comforting as their own heart. There the life that God has created and sustained is flooding over the brim, hoping to express the perfection of which it is capable. It gives into the keeping of the stewardship of individual man the power to choose for himself, to walk through the narrow gate that leads to the fullness of his own God-identity, and the outpicturing upon the screen of life of the verdured perfection of God, which manifests then for all time as a man of God, a manifestation of liberty’s flame—the fleur-de-lis of love, wisdom and power— a manifestation of eternal comfort.

You will then be a being of beauty and a joy forever, for you will then have become an ascended being, a Christ—a Cosmic Christ—infinite in conscious action. You will rise in the arms of infinite love until you, as the Maha Chohan does, will be able to render a service to a portion of life everywhere. In the great perfection of life that swells through this galaxy, flooding out through the grateful cosmos, you will be a part of the flame of omnipresent life. That flame, like music and perfume and light, weaves upon the screen of cosmic law all of the unfolding mysteries of God made known to you from within and from without forever by the charge of divine love.

Now, my beloved ones, this beautiful cup, which I have worked on for so many years, has been given into the keeping of the Maha Chohan. I shall not further describe it to you today for a very special reason. The reason is that I ask those of you who are spiritually perceptive and love the Father to call unto God with fervor and determination until, while you sleep at night, God himself shall direct your journey unto the Temple of Comfort in Ceylon, and your own eye shall behold the work of my hand. And then I think that you will be grateful that I did not try to describe it for you in words. For you will see an ascended master jewel of perfection resting there. The Great Divine Director and the members of the Karmic Board, who have all witnessed it, have said that it is indeed a splendid thing.

I hope now that you, too, shall realize this day that you are a splendid thing, a manifestation of God—not a puny personality, not a human creation full of faults and flaws, but a child of light, splendid in all your dimensions, the work of God’s hands, the work of your own Divine Presence manifesting now and always joy forever, forever and forever!

May the blessings and the pulsations of liberty’s flame blaze through you now to bring peace in God’s name, which places within the chalice of your being the fleur-de-lis of eternal comfort, the presence of light there within you, beating your immortal heart.

Thank you and good morning.

“The Summit Lighthouse Sheds Its Radiance o’er All the World to Manifest as Pearls of Wisdom.”

This dictation by Paul the Venetian was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Mark L. Prophet on Sunday, June 24, 1962, during the Sunday service held in Washington, D.C. Delivered in the early years of The Summit Lighthouse, this dictation was originally published in the booklet Spoken from on High and presents fundamental and timeless teaching of the ascended masters. In preparing this Pearls of Wisdom minimal editing was required.
