I
Drink In the All-Enfolding Radiance of Your Own Mighty I AM Presence
Surely from the heart of God, peace must flow. Surely in the heart of God, peace must dwell. Surely in the heart of God, all distress must cease to be.
And so, beloved ones, we part the veil of Kashmir and we bid you welcome, in the holy name of God, to our band of light—ever present upon earth to bring release from those feelings of distress which have, far too long, plagued the mankind of earth and have not brought the comfort and blessings God intends them to know.
I am come now to bring unto you the peace and the greetings of the Great White Brotherhood, that august fraternity and holy band of those who are captivated by a vision of the Divine One and are unable to give allegiance to human discord—those who have ascended in to the magnificence of the Divine One, those whose unity with God I affirm this night as I say unto you all: Peace be unto thee from the heart of God, from the heart of God within the Great Central Sun!
The victory of this planet must be brought forth. Freedom from the heart of God must manifest now. Too long has the world suffered the agonies of crucifixion upon a cross of discordant energies. We must now part the veil of illusion. We must assist the mankind of earth as never before.
But I say to you, beloved ones, you must place your hand firmly within the hand of God. You must place your hand there willingly. You must permit it to nestle there with the comfort of a trusting child. And you must not let go because you cannot see the far upper reaches of the arm of God extending through the mists of human maya and delusion.
I say unto you, beloved ones, the all-enfolding loveliness of God is around you. Its tangible light rays manifest within the purity of your being. You today are all the fullness of God. Yet, the outer self perceives it not, realizes it not, and continues to dwell in a state of limitation imposed by the acceptance of the burdens of the race.
The Great White Brotherhood desires only the freedom of mankind. And therefore as I come to you this night to bid you welcome to our band, as I bring you my welcome, I ask the great all-enfolding light of God to descend upon your hearts with a gentle mantle of peace, to remove from your hearts those burdens of the years and centuries—those conditions which are as chains, those conditions which are weights, those conditions which are the grossness of oppression.
I say, be free. Be free to accept the blessings of this class! Be free to accept the blessings of your own Divine Presence! Be free to permit the spiritual energies of heaven to penetrate your lifestream and blaze out into the world of form, so that you too may assist in being conductors of the magnificence of God into the realm of human form and dimension.
Peace be unto you, peace from the heart of God. May the all-enfolding radiance of the Great Central Sun seal you all in that perfection and oneness which is the heart of God, the light that does not fail.
Mankind—in all their accumulation of wisdom through the centuries, in all their approaches to God—cannot in any way excel the approach of the gentle heart opening as a flower to drink in the sunlight of God’s love as it pours across the elysian fields of attunement and brings peace to troubled hearts. Beloved ones, there is no need for complication, there is no need for extensive exercises if one will but consciously drink in the all-enfolding radiance of his own mighty I AM Presence.
And yet, there are many wonderful systems in existence today to assist mankind in finding the fullness of spiritual expression, and it is not our intention to speak disparagingly of them. However, I desire to call the attention of the student body to the fact that there is a great benefit in the simplicity of the open heart’s door. The heart that is open to God is thus open to each quality which He Himself is and which He would express through every man, every woman and every child in the fullness of divine wisdom’s ray.
Is it not the part of great wisdom, the spiritual wisdom of God, for man to accept the fiat of his own divine accomplishment, his Christed being, the radiance of his own Divine Self? Is it wisdom, beloved ones, to accept the limitations of the world, the shroud of the world or its depths of despair? Must men sit in the agonies of oppression? Must men’s hearts be heavy, as if they would face a thousand Gethsemanes daily?
This is not the plan of God. It has not been the plan of God. No, it has never been God’s design.
Mankind have accepted the hard and thorny road. And yet, the hard and thorny road is long and devious. The simplest way is ever the manifestation of the pure Christ consciousness descending into the being of man with all of its wisdom and all of its perfect attunement with the mind of God.
This beauteous radiance was accomplished in holy men of old, such as Enoch, Melchizedek and others of our sacred band. These holy men accepted the divine radiance and manifested it.
The divine way is ever as simple as the sun shining in its strength; and yet, human motives and concepts have desired to cast around it a veil of confusion and complexity. And through the vast complication of religious systems resulting therefrom, many men have been confused and they seem to lose their way. As faltering children, they wander from the beautiful radiance of their own Presence. They totter as on the brink of an abyss of not knowing. And yet, the comfort of the Holy Spirit, the perfection that beats their hearts sustains the universe in all of its glory! And the wisdom that is, and yet is unknown, continues to function because it knows.
You see, beloved ones, the mind that knows is the mind of God, and the perfect mind of God always maintains perfection in the body temple. In the mind, in the spirit of man, there is perfect equilibrium, perfect divine balance.
The keynote of this class, beloved ones, is peace upon earth. The Great White Brotherhood recognizes this year the need to solidify all that has been gained for mankind through the centuries of both a spiritual and cultural nature. And so, beloved ones, the entire hosts of heaven—those who cherish the wisdom of God, those who love the radiance of God, those men of strength and women of divine and immortal character—are assembled here with me this eve. They are assembled here to bid you welcome.
The welcome comes not from my own lifestream alone, but it blazes out in the living letters of eternal immortal fire: Welcome to your hearts! Welcome to your heads, to the wisdom therein! And welcome to your precious four lower bodies. May they always be comfortable in the radiance of the Divine One and in that home of light which they are destined to attain. May they also find comfort here in the peace of God, which delivers to mankind God’s own understanding of deliverance.
The way ye know. For I AM the way, the truth and the life. No man cometh to the Father, the mighty I AM Presence, but by me, by the Holy Christ Self of every man.1
Peace, then, unto you in this welcome. And let your hearts smile. For the smile that comes to your hearts is the smile of your Presence, the kiss of its radiance, and the fellowship of those ascended brethren in light that ever stand at the door.
I thank you.
The Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi
Lord,
Make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light; and
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much
Seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and
It is in dying that we are born to eternal Life.
I AM Light
by Kuthumi
I AM Light, glowing Light,
Radiating Light, intensified Light.
God consumes my darkness,
Transmuting it into Light.
This day I AM a focus of the Central Sun.
Flowing through me is a crystal river,
A living fountain of Light
That can never be qualified
By human thought and feeling.
I AM an outpost of the Divine.
Such darkness as has used me is swallowed up
By the mighty river of Light which I AM.
I AM, I AM, I AM Light;
I live, I live, I live in Light.
I AM Light’s fullest dimension;
I AM Light’s purest intention.
I AM Light, Light, Light
Flooding the world everywhere I move,
Blessing, strengthening, and conveying
The purpose of the kingdom of heaven.
This prayer and decree is in Prayers, Meditations, Dynamic Decrees for the Coming Revolution in Higher Consciousness, no. 60.08 and no. 7.10A.
