The Last Word Is Not the Lost Chord

It Is All a Matter of Alchemy

Part 2

We ask you, then, even for the sake of your own practicality and your continuing to be aware of the world itself, that you find some type of involvement even if you are very, very involved in [other] activities—one activity such as working with the Right to Life groups and speaking out on abortion. Even if you give a small portion of your time, it will enable you to contact people that you might otherwise never contact and to speak the word of truth.

By this contact you will read and assimilate a certain vibration, a certain sense of where the people are in their thinking, and thereby you can better direct your teaching and your instruction to the “now consciousness” instead of to the consciousness as the world was when you left it so many years ago to withdraw into the teachings of the ascended masters.

Well, you know, you can so effectively withdraw from this world that for all intents and purposes for mankind, you might as well have passed from the screen of life. This is all well and good for those who are serving in the Heart Center, where the books must be published, where the presses must roll night and day, and where service is expected on a moment’s notice in answer to the call from Darjeeling.

For we do maintain a hotline to the messenger and to the Ashram.¹ And when there is necessity for the release of information, first the messenger is contacted and aroused to receive whatever dictation or word in whatever hour of the night. And then there is the transcriber, and then the typesetter. And this is how it comes to pass that you receive the printed Word or the dictated Word.

You do not realize all that is behind the scenes. For even I am contacted, and sometimes I have to draw myself from other activities because the Lords of Karma or Helios and Vesta desire a message be transmitted to the Mother of the Flame so that you might receive it in time for cosmic action.

This is the cooperation of hierarchy, and this is why we have extended our teaching centers across America. And we are looking forward to the opening of these teaching centers in many nations. For I tell you, conditions are extremely dark abroad, and your confinement upon this soil has shielded you from that burden of karma, that weight of oppression and of human recalcitrance that is so present in other nations.

Now, then, you see, we in Darjeeling are deliberating on the practicality of an intense flow of this teaching and this vibration to the earth. And because there are many who have left off contact or have never even established a contact with large segments of the population, we find that the open doors, as many as there should be, do not exist.

We invite you, then, at the conclusion of this conference on the new birth, to extend that new birth that you have received, and in the most economical way time and energy wise. We invite you to find the best way to reach the greatest number [of lightbearers] with the least investment of time and energy so that the maximum effort twenty-four hours a day can be made by each individual, multiplying that effectiveness throughout the activity so that the lightbearers will receive the teaching and so that the friends of freedom and of the light will receive the correct information on cosmic law.

It is not necessary, of course, to discourse on the entire spectrum of cosmic law in order to make your point. For there is one thing that you must understand—that the souls of the people know truth. When you speak the truth, when you have integrity, when you speak with sincerity and logic and with information that is based on sound research and facts, you will have listeners! You will have people who will come to rely upon you and upon the information and your understanding of that information, until you may very well find yourself writing articles or speaking on radio and on television on the issues, or being invited to address high school students, clubs, or members of your own neighborhood.

But wherever you go, if you maintain the honor and the integrity of your word and you become known as a soul who can be trusted as being honest, counted upon as being responsible, sincere, and loving, you will command first the respect and then the attention of wider and wider circles of people, blessed people, in this and every land.

When, then, you have established your contacts, you will find that one day, when you really have something to say of great importance, you will be heard. Your voice will be known because you have established your platform of credibility. And therefore when you come forth speaking on the issues, people will not have to say, “Well, who is that character and who is that individual coming forth with all of this nonsense?” And if you look peculiar and you dress in a peculiar manner, then you will find that you will have an even more difficult time in establishing that confidence.

Therefore, you see, if you will incline your ear to the understanding of God in man, in woman, you will find that you will have a greater understanding of God in the ascended masters. For the ascended masters are most practical in their determination to reach the people of earth. We must pay very close attention to the people of earth and to the trends of earth. For when we come to contact a soul, we must contact that soul at the level of the soul’s appreciation of life in this plane and of God himself.

We, then, advocate an activity of just plain, loving folks and caring folks, and people—simple people, yet educated people; people who are refined and yet not so complex and so serious about themselves that they cannot commune with every segment of society.

If you are not free to talk and to communicate with people at all levels and from all ethnic, racial, and cultural groups, then you should go out and try your hand at making friends with all of the wonderful friends on earth. You should develop your ability to converse, and to do this you need that famous ingredient—love.

Love is not my last word, but it is the lost chord—the lost chord in the consciousness of those who would truly win mankind for the light. Instead of leading with condemnation and judgment and the putting out of vibrations of fear and guilt and even threatening, let the chela just be. Just be. Just be a loving neighbor, a helping friend, someone kind on whom one can depend.

Most of all, the ascended masters need to know that we can depend upon you to be loving rather than judging in all cases, not to offend these little ones but to meet them where they are and to give them the line that will hitch their wagon to a star. Even if they cannot see the star, you will know that by a statement of truth you will have planted within the soul the means whereby that soul will one day arrive at the goal.

After all, when you put a seed in your hand, a very delicate seed—and you who love to work with the soil and the earth and elementals know how many different kinds of seeds there are. But when you look at a seed, it is always simple, a simple unit, round or long. It looks like a tiny planet, a microcosm. It does not burden you with its complexity, with its mechanism, with its chemistry, yet it is teeming with life and the inner blueprint in order to bring forth the fullness of the plant.

You are all seeds—seeds that will grow the fruit of the Tree of Life. Your energy is that seed. You know that that seed is very powerful. The energy is very powerful. And yet somehow, if you remember the simplicity of a seed, you can remember that you can transfer yourself as a seed into someone’s pocket, into someone’s subconscious—without elaboration, without affectation or a speaking down to souls, a lording it over them. And you can know, as you have faith in the grain of the mustard seed, that that seed will grow. And if the individual can accept you in love as friend, that individual is now in a position to receive the totality of your consciousness.

This law applies conversely, and it is for this reason that the Great Divine Director has counseled that you not allow yourselves to submit to any form of hypnosis or self-hypnosis. For when you put yourself in the hands of the hypnotist, well-meaning though he may be, you are taking in the total seed consciousness of that individual. There is no screening out of a portion of the individual’s subconscious, for you have opened yourself to that one.

Well, friendship, everyday friendship, is based upon our opening of ourselves to someone whom we trust. This is why the pain is so great when you are betrayed by a loved one or a friend. It is because you have so opened yourself that a portion of that self has entered your being and the seed of that self has begun to merge with your own consciousness. And suddenly when you are traduced by that friend, you find that something of yourself has been lost and that it is necessary for you to come to balance.

Friendship, then, is based upon trust and the opening of oneself to another self, and the return flow. It is not wise to open oneself totally at the level of the human consciousness but to trust the Christ Self.

The point we are making here is that if you are not a friend to life who can be trusted, then when you want to give to life something that is of God, life will not be open to you. You will find people with their arms folded tightly and their bodies very much tensed, and they will not be receptive to the truth that you bring.

My conclusion, then, is this: If you would bring the truth of the teachings of the ascended masters to mankind and if you would bring the truth of cosmic law to every endeavor and every field of endeavor, you must first identify yourself as a friend to humanity and a friend to the individual. For there are many who consider themselves friends to humanity who never make contact with the individual. Now, this is a very nebulous concept. For I say, how can anyone be a friend to humanity without expressing that love to any part of humanity?

Well, then, the conclusion is this—that at various levels of activity you must establish your friendship with life. Through this friendship there is a flow of your energy, and through this friendship there is an extension of yourself—the very seed that is yourself—into the fertile ground of individual consciousness and the collective consciousness. Thereby your energies, then, are already beginning to grow, to mature, and the ideas of your soul are beginning to take hold and to come forth and to burst through the soil in springtime.

I tell you, precious ones, that there is no greater joy in life than hearing another part of life or many souls repeating your own words, the truth you have brought, which they did not know before you came. And when that truth has become a working knowledge, an everyday knowledge, a common awareness of millions of souls, you will find yourself in that position of knowing that the leaven of your consciousness has made the difference.

This is when people do not even remember that the ideas were yours or know the source because that truth has become such common knowledge, like simple mathematics or the ABCs or English grammar or the most common mechanical devices that mankind take for granted. All of these had to come forth from individuals, and until they were known they remained unknown, and hence were initially great discoveries.

The process whereby the great discovery becomes everyday knowledge is a process that you ought to study. For by that very same process, the great discovery of the I AM Presence and the teachings of the ascended masters will one day be that everyday awareness, that common sense, that obvious way we do things, that custom, that habit. This is not as far away as you think. But in order for it to happen, you must become that leaven. You yourselves must be the leaven which the woman took and hid in three measures of meal until the whole lump was leavened.²

Place yourselves, then, in strategic positions for light. Pursue the conveyance of truth, and take as your focal point of alchemy the sphere of the earth itself. Maintain your lighted globe in your sanctuary, near your altar in your home, and remember that from the throne of the I AM Presence and the threefold flame, your Christ Self will send forth through your being the emanations, the radiations, and the consciousness for the alchemy of earth.

Saint Germain holds the alchemy of change in his heart. And as he said to me and to the messenger as we were about to begin, “It is all a matter of alchemy.” That is a most profound statement! For you see, when you see a problem that defies solution, when you see that it is impossible for you to tackle all of your responsibilities, when you see that there is no way that you can put together a Summit Lighthouse study group or a teaching center or your activities for the masters, or when you see that there is no way to precipitate this or that or to fulfill your plan, you have only to look up into the master’s face.

And I recommend that you meditate upon the painting of Saint Germain as I speak to you.³ Look into his face and into his eyes. And when there stands before you the insurmountable obstacle, remember his word, “It is all a matter of alchemy.” What does this mean? It means the right perspective.

In God, to every problem there is a solution. There is nothing that is impossible, but it is a question of alchemy—a matter of changing your mind, changing your consciousness, changing your attitude, rising to the planes of the Christ, the I AM Presence and the white-fire core, changing your perspective, entering into the heart of the Brotherhood, calling upon the causal bodies of the masters, waiting for solutions, waiting for the consciousness of God to descend into the human octave, here where you can read a record of what is practical and what is next.

Many of you have been inspired by following the simple rules of alchemy, and you have received your inspirations directly from the ascended masters. Therefore the question of precipitating the headquarters of Church Universal and Triumphant in Los Angeles is all a matter of alchemy and of your application of that alchemy and your attitude toward it.

As you reread Saint Germain’s Studies in Alchemy and his Intermediate Studies,⁴ you will notice that he stresses the elimination of anxiety. It is very easy for you to allow your energies to become anxious. And while you are anxious and fearful, in a state of doubt, there is no progress, nothing moves, no help is forthcoming. Then you increase your anxiety until hopefully you finally reach the conclusion that, after all, nothing can save you but the laws of alchemy and therefore you had better begin anew to apply yourself and to eliminate that human consciousness, which is the enemy of the alchemy of God.

When you take the new birth, the resurrection, the ascension, the balancing of karma and all that lies ahead on the Path for you, you must remember his words, and these befitting for the sealing of our conference: “It is all a matter of alchemy.” Go forth, then, devotees of the will of God, alchemists of Saint Germain. Study. Prove. Know. And dare to be. And see how God will fulfill in you his most wondrous creativity!

I AM in the flame of your devotion to the will of God, always.

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

This dictation by El Morya was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Easter Sunday, April 10, 1977, during the Convocation of the New Birth conference, held in Pasadena, California. [N.B. Bracketed words have been added for clarity in the written word.]

1. The Ashram of the World Mother was a spiritual focus established by Elizabeth Clare Prophet in downtown Los Angeles and consecrated to the World Mother. The property was purchased in 1976 and sold in 1983.

2. Matt. 13:33; Luke 13:20-21.

3. The painting of Saint Germain. The master is referring to the painting of Saint Germain executed by American painter and illustrator Charles Sindelar (1875-1947) in the 1930s. Saint Germain appeared to Sindelar (while Guy Ballard, messenger for the I AM Activity, was present) and posed for him as Sindelar painted his portrait.

4. Studies in Alchemy and his Intermediate Studies. Both of these books have been republished and included in one volume entitled Saint Germain On Alchemy. In Book Two, chapter 9, Saint Germain instructs us on “Anxiety and the Anxiety Syndrome.” He also teaches on formulas for self-mastery and precipitation as well as the science of “picturization.” A complete glossary is also included.
