Ladies and gentlemen, children of infinite light, those whose hearts yearn to know the compassion of the Most High, I am come this night to flood forth and charge into the atmosphere of the earth the pulsations of freedom’s mighty flame.
Through the centuries that have passed and down the pathway of time, countless individuals have desired to externalize some facet, some measure, of God’s design. I have chosen, ladies and gentlemen, to externalize the flame of freedom. And I come this night to breathe into the atmosphere of the planet the pulsations of freedom’s flame so that all may come to a state of consciousness in which they will enjoy the fullness of God every moment, in full faith—in full breathing awareness of that divine attunement limited only by the confinements of limiting human concepts.
The mold of human contamination is like a shroud, daily encasing countless individuals, to their discomfort and certainly not to the joy of heaven. But, ladies and gentlemen, it is not necessary that this condition remain. It is not necessary that individuals be bound by limitation or be fettered by lack of abundance or manifest an appearance of ill health, the discomfort of an abnormal mind or any other limited condition.
For the flame of life that beats your heart is very close to you. It is within the heart center of your physical form, and it speaks out to you daily, hourly and momentarily a message of freedom. Like a drumbeat carrying the rhythm of the Eternal, it declares to each one of you, “I AM God’s life.” As you hear the pulsations, the throbbing, of this life within you (by placing your ear upon the chest of another or by placing a stethoscope upon your own chest and listening to the beat of that heart), try to realize, beloved ones, that God is there and that God is love and freedom from all fear.
Bear in mind, precious ones of the light, that never in all eternity could the Creator purposefully design a shroud of limitation. When man was created in the image of immortal God, he was endowed by inheritance with the full glory and power of God. To this the ascended master Jesus and others referred in the statements that they have made through the ages pertaining to the state of man’s consciousness before the world was and before form was.
In the formless realm of the infinite spirit of light, only the perfection of God was made manifest. And in the transition from the formless realm to the world of form, through the misuse of free will, individuals have accepted and outpictured limitation, imperfection, misqualification and discord. This has not brought about shame in heaven, for heaven designed only perfection. It has brought about shame upon earth, however, for it is there that the banishment from the Eden of perfection occurred. And it is upon earth that transmutation must take place.
I bid you welcome this night in the holy name of God. I bid you welcome to the courts of heaven. I bid you welcome to your home of light as it was before it became contaminated by human misconceptions.
Come, drink of the water of Life freely. Drink of the water of eternal freedom. Drink of the ageless fount of the eternal God. And know that in the Presence of God, each individual is crowned by light as a perfect child of the Most High. Therefore, you need have no feeling of inferiority, no feeling of littleness or smallness; but rejoice in a feeling of God-magnificence, a feeling of sustaining strength, the mounting perfection of your Presence, the victory of the eternal God and the eternal God-life within you.
I bid you welcome. I bid you welcome to the courts of light. For in light there is no darkness nor shadow of turning1 nor a road that leads to imperfection. But there is the road that leads ever onward to infinite realms where joy springs forth and mounts up on wings, and there is no downhill movement but only a forward movement back to the heart of the eternal One.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Won’t you please be seated.
Some of you have thought often about the Maltese cross. Ladies and gentlemen, those brave men who journeyed across the charted seas at the time of my embodiment as Christopher Columbus were able to observe the Maltese cross upon the mighty billowing sails of the Santa Maria (named in honor of holy Mary, who was my virgin queen during my embodiment as Joseph). Their hearts, when not disturbed or affrighted by human greed, avarice or hopelessness, were able to catch some glimpse of the vision that was within me. In some, the concept was very tiny and finite. But it was there.
Within each one who was aboard the vessel, even within those mutinous ones, there was a spark of faith in the purpose that we avowed. When performance at last was accomplished and we set sight upon this brave new world, a spirit of divine unity at once swept through them, and the most discordant and the most disturbed ones immediately became elated and filled with joy.
Now, beloved ones, I tell you of this for a reason. The beloved apostle Thomas declared of the Christ, “Unless I place my hand within the wound upon his side, I will not believe.”2 Blessed are those that, having seen, believe. But, above all, blessed are those who, having not seen the full manifestation in the outer of the inner perfections of God, yet believe in them. Blessed indeed are they!
Among those brave hearts that are here tonight, there are some destined to achieve a full measure of perfection in less than sixteen years from this night. When they vanish from among you and apparently are no more, they will be as I AM— ascended beings. Yet they will have walked and sat among you.
In the holy name of freedom, I, then, ask you this: Why have I elected to tell you of this tonight? Simply because the possibilities are identical for all who will apply themselves.
Remember, beloved ones, that those who charted on board that vessel, and upon those vessels,3 and elected to sail into unknown waters (each and every one of them, once they boarded our ship) were destined to be carried forward into the New World. And because they were on board that vessel, or on board one of them, they were all propelled and swept onward into the New World.
But in spiritual matters, beloved ones, this is not always the case. For one is taken and another is left.4 And I ask you now, in the name of God, is the election a matter of heaven or is it a matter of your own choice?
I think if you were polled, beloved ones, each of you would respond with alacrity and joy, and you would say, “Beloved Saint Germain, I wish to make my ascension, even now. I am doing all within my power in order to attain my ascension in the light.” For I perceive that this is the God-destiny of every man: to emulate the Christ and the ascended beings; not to outpicture the pain of the crucifixion and the sorrow of the world, but to outpicture the Mount of Transfiguration and the glorious ascension from the summit heights of each one’s existence.
Come, then, and reason with me now. If heaven has not conspired against you, then heaven must have designed all with an equality of viewpoint. And therefore, all could, if they would, make their ascension.
What, then, hinders you, beloved ones? If it is not God, if it is not the ascended masters, is it your contemporaries? Beloved ones, I do not think that it is your friends in this activity who hinder you. Is it, then, mankind in the outer world, those who know not the fullness of this light? Are you letting them hinder you? I think not.
Beloved ones, the entire trouble (if you wish to call it that) is with the state of consciousness of individuals who have almost hypnotically accepted the idea that they will perhaps require another embodiment or that they are not quite good enough to attain the same wonderful experience that beloved Jesus and beloved Godfre attained and which I attained. Let me dispel from your minds, herewith, now and forever this idea.
For I tell you, in the holy name of Justice, that each and every lifestream upon earth, if they will make their application to God, will receive the same measure which they have meted out. And because the holy law of perfect balance in expression is made manifest and cannot be disturbed by human creation, I would like to point out that each and every one of you, if you will apply yourselves to the law of the violet fire, can attain your freedom within a few years, and some sooner.
I have not prognosticated concerning all who are here. Neither shall I. I would spur those who are laggards to more noble efforts. And I would bless and heal those who have striven toward the light for so long with a tremendous outpouring of the flame of freedom tonight into your worlds.
Now, the flame of freedom, beloved ones, is extremely important—
(May I request at this time that the person guarding the door see that there is no further disturbance during this meeting by people arising during my dictation.)
Ladies and gentlemen, I do not wish to chastise the many for the few, but these opportunities are rare. They are rare for this reason: to use the consciousness and four lower bodies of this messenger is a phenomenon in itself, one which requires a great deal of professional practice in attuning with our octave.
And therefore it is extremely important for individuals to realize that when I am speaking, there is pouring forth a radiance into the atmosphere of this room. This radiance can be best absorbed by your bodies when you are extremely quiet. For when your bodies are quiet, the highly spiritualized radiance is able to penetrate with ease into your finer bodies and into your thinking worlds to change, when necessary, the atomic structure of your physical form or your mental body or your emotional body and bring you a great release of transforming light-substance.
This release, beloved ones, is made possible by cosmic law. The dispensation granting those of us in the higher octaves the power to speak in this manner was granted by the great Karmic Board.
It may seem strange to some of you who are unfamiliar with our modus operandi in bringing our words to you, but I would like to remind you, beloved ones, that there is much in life of a scientific nature which is unknown to many people. There is much which is not known to the multitudes.
For they “see through a glass but darkly,” but one day they shall see “face to face.”5 And as they do, looking into the face of their own Divine Presence, it shall be a coming Home, or Home coming, whereby the great Father-Mother God shall wipe away every tear from every human eye and shall give to each one a kiss of his own peace.
Is not this, then, freedom, beloved ones: to attain freedom and reunion with your great Divine Self?
The word individuality can be broken up and it will read in-di-vi-du-al-i-ty (du-ality). Beloved ones, the in-divided manifestation of the infinite manifestation of God is manifesting in man, who is a manifestation of the duality of Self and of God and also is within the unity of God.
Words in themselves are cups of light. And when you understand the meaning of each word, it conveys a great deal more to your consciousness than when you do not understand what it means. And the best way of understanding it, ladies and gentlemen, is to apply your hearts to holy reason, to the divine reason that is within your Higher Mental Body, or your Holy Christ Self.
Think what it means, beloved ones, to have charged into you for twenty-four hours the radiance of your own Holy Christ Self! There are those who say, “Oh, I love to sit in these meetings when the radiance of the masters is pouring forth.” Beloved ones, the sustaining radiance of your life is your own Holy Christ Self and Divine Presence. For the Presence of life that pours its life to you hourly does so through that magnificent silver cord which connects you, as a babe is connected with its mother prior to birth, with your own Divine Self.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, the only way a man can truly be born into the kingdom is to come to the place where there is complete unity with his Divine Self. Complete unification or identification with the Divine Self severs or withdraws the cord because one ascends into that Presence. And having ascended into it, there is no need to any longer be connected with it. Do you see, beloved ones? For then you are directly in the heart of your own Presence, and you have become that heart and that Presence. You are no longer the in-divided, but you are victoriously the ascended master. And, therefore, I speak tonight from the heart of my God Presence to you individually; and I salute the Divine Self within you because the Divine Self within you is the freedom of all life, and the freedom of all life is outpicturing within you when you accept it.
Now, if in your feeling world there is a certain condition acting and because that condition is acting there, you cannot accept the fullness of that which I am declaring, then I beg you, ladies and gentlemen, I beg you to discard that feeling from your world and replace it by the spirit of understanding of the amity of heaven. And by the amity of heaven, I mean the beneficent mind of God.
If you will pause to think for a moment why, why the Creator did create, you will realize that it was to lavish—and I herein amplify that word, lavish—upon all of his creation the fullness of himself. And the fullness of himself is all of the goodness of God, the joy of God, the righteousness of God— the right use and the full power of his divine faculties.
