Vol. 50 No. 6 - Beloved Maha Chohan - March 15, 2007
Be a Comfort to All Life
Part 2
Now, I am aware, beloved ones, that the mankind of earth, because of the magnificent gratitude of their hearts, are constantly expressing gratitude to one another, which they offer in little gifts and graces, courtesies and kindnesses extended. But I would like to remind you that you have the power, when you meet any man or woman, to call to his Holy Christ Self or the Divine Presence or the archangels or to me for a release of some special spiritual gift into his life. And I am certain that if you will realize you have this treasured opportunity, upon each such occasion you will find that you will be creating an enormously wonderful karma for yourselves as well as enhancing the divine plan upon earth.
The comfort flame blazes up from the same source from which the threefold flame within your heart blazes. And therefore, beloved ones, you can pour this comfort flame through your physical forms and enlarge it until it is like a beauteous golden chalice surrounding your body. And then you can call to your own Divine Presence and to the Holy Spirit to descend like a beautiful dove, which is a beautiful white focus of the fiery ovoid of the Holy Spirit.
This will descend, subject to the call of your own great Presence and your call from the octave of earth, into that heart chalice that you fashioned. And it will produce there such God-purity, such heavenly wonder, such perfection that you will be a blessing to the Earth planet without end and without fail. Such opportunities, beloved ones, are given from day-to-day.
Many years ago the mankind of earth were told, through one of the beloved messengers of the past, that the time might come when the door of opportunity would be closed to this generation. And many of the students, realizing that the possibility of such an action could take place, made many sincere calls to the light on behalf of the mankind of earth. Well, beloved ones, I do not choose tonight to amplify that particular statement, nor do I wish to have the students permit any fear to enter into their worlds at this time. For in recent deliberations of our councils, we have decided that the impetus of that which we do shall be upon increasing the light of the Presence of God among the children of men.
It seems, beloved ones, that even when these impending deadlines have threatened mankind, such as before the Flood of Noah, the mankind of earth were not too stirred about them. And they continued to eat and to drink and to make merry and to indulge in the vanities of the flesh. Therefore the Flood came and took them. Before the falling of the continent of Atlantis, countless times the mankind of earth were warned. There was a tremendous vibratory action which was released to warn the people, and there was even a materialization of great cosmic beings who actually appeared physically to warn the people. And yet, they continued—mind you, beloved ones—as they were and did not respond. Just the few, beloved ones, responded.
And therefore, heaven—and I speak here in a specially reserved manner, for we are never tired—is sometimes weary of human vanity in expression. And we do not choose, then, to continually warn of such impending situations. But we choose rather (because we have observed the reactions of mankind for generations) to enhance the quality of the Father’s love in the children of men and to magnetize, by the comfort flame, a tremendous increase of the power of God unto salvation to everyone who will accept it. We choose rather to be the greatest comfort to those of our children of light who are serving our cause.
And therefore I hope tonight that you will accept in your feeling worlds a release of comfort which will enable you to know that you are children of the light. We want to make you such examples of God-happiness among men that they who gaze upon you from the laggard creation will know that there is something within that heart chalice that is so priceless and precious that they will desire to have that which you are! Do you see, beloved ones, how the wisdom of heaven is manifesting in the sacred fire?
Beloved ones, all of the astral creation and the astral densities must fall down as the walls of Jericho before the concentrated calls of the sincere students of the light. The light of God and the sacred fire could not fail if the entire world went down! But I think that with such sincere students as are here tonight, the world shall not go down. For I believe that you, precious hearts, are going to continue, as you have in the past, to manifest the comfort flame to mankind.
But I do not think for one moment that you will do less than you have before. I believe, with all of my own being, that you shall do more. And you shall do it with the assistance of heaven. For tonight those precious angelic beings who dwell in the heart of the sacred fire—those builders of form who help create and sustain every atom of the physical, spiritual and eternal creations of God at all octaves of consciousness—are to be blessed. They are to be blessed by your attention and understanding of their existence.
Think, beloved ones, of those precious elemental lifestreams. And I am referring to them as lifestreams because they give their conscious intelligence to the creation of physical form. Therefore they are blessed, and they bless you every day. Think of the service rendered to you by your body elemental. Think of the wonders that it performs for you while your physical form sleeps. O precious ones, the elementals deserve your attention. They deserve their freedom!
I tell you, if the mankind of earth knew for how many generations and centuries some of those elementals have served to assist in manifesting a tree, such as a giant redwood tree in California, or for how long some have served to sus- tain a focus of a precious jewel and your physical forms and the air you breathe and the water! O beloved ones, the release of energy from the sun, the rays of light streaming from the moon, the rays that pour down upon the earth from the stars—all of these are the energy of God. And those who direct and control the release of his energy and his light rays—those precious elementals and the archangels and the angelic hosts—deserve a tribute from your precious hearts. They deserve it tonight, blessed ones!
[Audience stands.]
Give thanks, then, within yourselves to the elementals. For I am the Maha Chohan and they are my children also, and I love them, even as I love you. For I am determined to bring to this sweet earth a realization of the fact that God is present in imprisoned life as he is present in that which is free.
You are free! You are a part of freedom because you have the opportunity to win it! They, beloved ones, are in a somewhat different position from yourselves. But the Elohim know, for they have passed through the veil and they have entered into a state of divine immortality.1 Take, then, in your feeling world right now a determination to comfort the elemental side of life.
I thank you as you stand in tribute to those beings who sustain the water that you drink, the water that composes your bodies, the air you breathe—that fiery atmosphere that moves into your lungs as those giant bellows compress and then expand, compress and then expand and fan the fires of life within your heart. The precious fire element, the sacred fire, it is now extinguished in the torch* as you see. But it blazes on forever in the heart of God!
Then, too, gaze upon the clay, upon the earth that pro- duces the vegetables, the flowers and the energy which makes your bodies to shine with the radiance of God. The earth, beloved ones, when charged with the divine radiance, can shine with the radiance of God. Your bodies can become transparent. They can reflect the inner light of the Christ. This comes about by a conscious purification.
I tell you, beloved ones, that the light of God which does not fail possesses infinite capacities, infinite possibilities, infinite opportunities. And you are a part of the greatest movement upon this planet today! I hope that you realize it.
Won’t you please be seated.
I have chosen tonight to bring to you a great understanding following upon the wake of the most magnificent cosmic outpouring that has ever been released through this activity. For the talk given by beloved Saint Germain and that given by Archangel Michael, the Great Divine Director and El Morya2 have been unparalleled in the history of this activity in terms of the content and energy released and in a reflection of the plans of the hierarchy on behalf of mankind. And through their combined releases, an intensified action has taken place at inner levels.
A recent conference in Ceylon, after the presentation of this precious chalice by Paul the Venetian,3 has caused us to realize that a renewed search for the Grail must be instituted among mankind. And I refer here to the Holy Grail.
Beloved ones, this precious chalice—destined to hold the Holy Spirit, the Christ consciousness, the mighty I AM Presence—is yourselves. To discover it may require a generation and generations. But when you discover that you are the chalice, you will see the chalice before you and, descending into it, the essences of the Holy Spirit. And you will feel the throbbing pulsations of the heart of God! You will know that the image of God is you!
And then when you say, “I AM,” it will be in recognition of your eternal being in mortal and immortal manifestation—seemingly mortal only until your ascension but in reality always immortal both before and thereafter. For the flame of your immortality lives now within your being and but awaits the transmutation of the dross temporarily manifesting in the physical, mental, emotional and etheric bodies.
The cleansing of the physical form takes place at the moment of the ascension. Mankind may purify their bodies by eating the proper diet. They may perform innumerable rituals for the purification of their physical bodies. But those who do not perform those rituals, if they correct themselves in every other way, will find that their physical forms will naturally be corrected at the moment of their ascension.
And yet I do not say it is wrong for you to make the attempt to purify by proper diet if you wish. I merely wish to emphasize, in the words of the Christ, that it is not always “that which goeth into the mouth that defileth a man; but that which cometh out.”4 And therefore you must watch the quality of your thoughts more than you must watch the quality of your diet. For it is the mental quality of those thoughts that determines, more than anything, the manifestation of what you shall be. You must watch the quality of your feelings. For if those feelings are momentarily turned to human discord, they will outpicture that discord.
Beloved ones, I tell you, it is like glue, and I refer to your consciousness. Your consciousness is like glue; and if it touches human discord, it tends to pick it up. And it sticks to you, beloved ones, until it is transmuted. That is why you need your tube of light around this glue of your consciousness, because the tube of light prevents the adherence of human effluvia. It cannot adhere to it. And thus you have a greater comfortability within your feeling world when you are secure within your tube of light.
Now, the instruction I am giving you tonight is priceless. For I am presenting it to you in a somewhat new form, especially in the feeling I am releasing to your worlds.
Human consciousness, through the centuries, has qualified the atmosphere of this earth with all sorts of impurities. Students of this activity have constantly called for the purification of the Earth planet and elemental life, and great purifications have occurred both in the individuals’ worlds and in the world itself. But, beloved ones, every day the garbage collectors remove tons of debris and human effluvia from the streets of the great cities, and so it is with the mass consciousness of mankind. They continue daily to create new forms that are hideous in their structures. And I think the sincere students will realize that they ought to make their calls to effect their transmutation.
In the holy name of God, you would not keep your houses filled with human filth! You would sweep out your floors, you would clean out your cupboards! And I think you ladies would clean out your dresser drawers also if they needed it. Then call daily for the transmutation of all this misqualified energy. O beloved ones, you are so right when you do it and so negligent when you don’t.
Beloved ones, I commend you for what you do, and I do not censure you, nevertheless, for what you have not done. For certainly heaven is full of forgiveness. And if we could not forgive you, beloved ones, how could we expect that you could forgive one another?
I am the Maha Chohan. And I am not here, although I be stern, to cause you to feel that heaven is pressuring you to some impossible attainment. It is not. It is only blessing you with the new realization of the wondrous opportunities that each new day brings. It is only releasing a stream of energy into your consciousness that will make you realize that the eternal Presence of God is so full of love, so full of wonder, so full of the new charge, so full of energy, so full of buoyancy, so full of light that you almost ought to ascend right now from your chairs!
Ladies and gentlemen, will you get into your feeling worlds the feeling which I have and which I am manifesting—the feeling of eternal comfort, the feeling that flowed through the Christ into the body of the young man who was bereft of life and infused him with renewed energy until he was restored to his mother’s arms.
O beloved ones, I tell you, you have a wonderful opportunity when you recognize the meaning of being a comfort to all life. And you can accept it now. You can say to me:
Beloved Maha Chohan, I want to be a comfort flame to every part of life. I want the flame of my heart to flow out daily toward the rising sun, to sweep the world aroundwith your wonderful comfort flame, to enter into the con- sciousness of the tired and the poor and the ignorant, and to infuse them with a sense of the divine goodness of God.
I recognize that as a manifestation of God, I play a very important part in awakening the consciousness of mankind. For as I think, so I send out the arrows of my love in all directions.
I will be an eternal cupid for God. I will fill my quiver with the arrows of God’s love. I will shoot them into every heart that I meet until the world is so infused with comfort and love that the perfect example of the healing Christ is extended through me toward all upon earth.
I will not look upon men to see imperfection, mortality and grossness, and all of the stain and doubt and fear and negative possibilities. I will not dwell in a consciousness of “if,” but I will dwell in a consciousness of “Now God is, now God lives.”
And as the LORD liveth, so live I. And as I live, so I live for him. And as I live for him, I AM determined to be an ascended being, I AM determined to be an ascended master. I have had embodiment after embodiment upon this planet. I have been surfeited in human wandering and misery. I have accepted the dust of the road from mankind, the offscouring and the filth of the world.
I call now to the angels of purity to cleanse my consciousness of all that is not of the light. Wash me and make me white as snow.
So do thou, beloved ones. Call to the angels of purity, call to the Elohim of Purity, call to the Queen of Light, call to the Goddess of Light, call to the forces of light! Call to all who dwell in the octaves of light and ask them now to give you their full feeling of the ascension!
Do you think that God will deny you any such good thing? Do you think for one minute that the gifts that he intends to bestow are not real and tangible as I am? They are real, they are tangible.
You are dealing now with the Holy Spirit, not the Holy Spirit of a man but the Holy Spirit of God—the Holy Spirit of God that framed all, that controlled and released the energy composing the elementals, that is the life flame within your heart, that is the sacred fire.
You have heard it said that God is a consuming fire. Well, know that the consuming fire is your Self. It is the “Thou” of the I AM. And when you can say to it, “Amen,” beloved ones, it means that you are willing to be humble enough to let God live in you. And when God lives in you, it is no longer a man dwelling in mortality. It is a God dwelling in form. And a God cannot long be encased in form, for a God is a flame and must burst asunder whatever imprisoned form it is in by reason of the expansion of its focus.
And therefore the expanding power of the sacred fire manifests and manifests and manifests until this mighty acorn of light that is within you becomes the great oak tree and the birds of the air are able to nest in the branches of it.5 For all the powers of heaven and the world around acknowledge the presence of an ascended being.
When an ascended being walks into a room, there is a charge that goes forth! And that charge is the power of God unto salvation unto everyone that acknowledges that Presence within his being. For it is the same Presence that is in everyone upon this planet. The difference is that some do not acknowledge it and continue to walk with the dust of the road upon their garments. These have not yet awakened.
Awaken them, then! Lift them, as the Christ did, from out the tomb, from out the burial procession. Bring them to a consciousness of the immortality that is within them. Direct them not into mere religion but into a comprehension of divine reality.
Divine reality is a living God. It is not a God composed of mere ritual and pageantry, although that, too, has its place in expressing to mankind the perfect balance of divine worship. What I am referring to is the recognition by yourselves of your Selves, I AM THAT I AM.
I ask you now to join me in saying these words, I AM THAT I AM. But before you do so, I ask you to be very still.
[7-second pause]
Let there be music preceding this offering of the life flame within your heart. Let there be joy in heaven and joy within your hearts. And let that joy flow out to all men as you acknowledge the Presence within you of the God that you are.
[Piano music is played.]
Now—[Audience joins the Maha Chohan in giving the mantra “I AM THAT I AM”:]
I AM THAT I AM!
I AM THAT I AM!
I AM THAT I AM!
Thank you, beloved ones. My comfort ceases not as the reverberations of my voice die away, for they are light and go on forever. In memory of this night, then, vest yourselves with adoration to the comfort flame. And know that I am with you always.
From Ceylon’s heart to the heart of the children of light in Washington and throughout the world, I, the Maha Chohan, leave you now.6 But I remain within that flame that is within the sacred fire being that is thyself.
I thank thee. Good night.
