Karma
As the Causative Factor in the Chela’s Psychology
Mercy, Forgiveness, Grace and Love
Christmas Eve Address 1989
In this hour of the celebration of the integration of the soul in the Word of God, I also come with Comfort and I also come with Truth.
I come to bless you in your endeavors to deal with personal records, with the forces of psychology represented, even outpictured, in the astrology known to you, beloved; for this was my last assignment to you. <1> And I have returned in gratitude [for your efforts and] for the mending of the separated parts as these have been sewn together again in the psyche by angels [who] are knitting together components of the soul fractured by deep schism in this and past lives.
Blessed ones, I would speak to you of the karma causative in psychology itself. It is necessary that you never neglect to see and to understand that though you may analyze your reactions to influences in your life since birth and prior to birth, you must also realize that your reactions to surroundings, to conditions, to parental and authority influences are, in fact, reactions to your karma represented in [your environment and] these various personalities.
See how this is so, beloved. There is no occurrence or condition that surrounds you that is not the result of some karma. It may be that you have played a similar role yourself in the past. And Keepers of the Flame are even too quick to admit this, for that may not always be the karma. The karma may be that you neglected to listen to spiritual teachers in many lifetimes who taught you, or would have taught you, how to deal with the forces of such circumstances that did come upon you in previous lifetimes for want of a spiritual defense.
And therefore if you have had a tyrant in your life in some form, you may not necessarily have been a tyrant yourself but you may have failed to heed the word of the Archangel giving you the instruction as to how to avoid the entrance into your world of tyrants and fallen ones, who are ever on the prowl to abuse souls of Light and misuse them.
So you see, it is karma, beloved. And, of course, the karma of the neglect to pay attention to the mouthpiece of God is most serious. For if one does not listen to the Teaching and put it into practice, one must come to the place where circumstances in one’s life, as calamity or otherwise, will allow one to realize the result of not having put that Teaching into practice.
[Nevertheless,] it is not wise to completely neutralize any sense that one has [of] a past record [of one’s own behavior that is] similar to [the behavior of] those lifestreams who may not have been so kind in one’s regard in this lifetime.
Thus, take care not to assign an ounce of blame to the worst of conditions or individuals or circumstances that may have come [to test you] in your lifetime. For the blame, beloved, always [goes back to the fact] that somewhere along the line you have gotten out of alignment and [therefore you] have not been equipped to deal with the testing of the soul, the initiations that come, ready or not.
Thus having so said, I ask you to consider your position on earth today as a personal karma, a planetary karma, a karma of the evolutions–[even] a karma made [purposefully] because it was necessary for you to embody in a time when the world was beset and besieged by so many forces that could move against the Lightbearer.
Having made your peace with this reality, you no longer need resent the Lord God that he has placed you in such circumstances or that he has given to you the free will to choose to be in such circumstances–to make choices that were not correct choices and to experience the consequences.
God has loved you so [very much], I tell you, [that he has] given you the freedom whereby you can become all that he is, [even] the fullness of the Godhead dwelling bodily in you. <2> The price to be paid for that eternal manifestation of God that you can become is the true exercise of free will and the learning of the Path by trial and error once you have placed yourself outside the walls of the Mystery School and [far from] the great tutors of Light that in the past have been available to all without exception.
Thus, you see, beloved, you must praise God for this opportunity of free will and for the experiences you have had in this lifetime that are for your edification, for your learning, for your ripening, for your maturing. Do not be angry at God at some subbasement [level] of your being for allowing you to suffer, to be uncomfortable, to have to experience disease or go through woe.
Understand, beloved, that the making of an avatar does require that life be not so easy and not so comfortable but difficult and challenging, requiring one’s all to even eke out an existence. This is the making of the Master, the unascended master in you bringing forth [the avatar]. It is the making of the Ascended Master.
If you can make your peace with God as Father and God as Mother and God as Son and God as Holy Spirit, I tell you, you will resolve tie-ups of energy, the locking up of power that you need in this day and age. You will resolve conflicts that you have not even contacted; [and many] of you would not even recognize [that they] have been sealed in the unconscious, unavailable to most [people]. Yet, beloved, these conditions exist; for the road has been long. Sometimes [it has taken the soul] seventy thousand years to learn a lesson [that is a prerequisite] to reenter the Mystery School; [perhaps she has had to pay] the price of a million years.
You must realize that you are in [the midst of] a dispensation, which could be charted in terms of a cosmic astrology, whereby the heavens are opened and so many Masters and Cosmic Beings have come forth to sponsor unascended lifestreams. There have been periods of tens of thousands of years in the history of a cosmos when not a single ascended or cosmic being has been allowed to contact those unascended. Life has droned on. The drudgery has continued. The cycles have turned. The children of Light have become tired of waiting for the return of the Mother. They have satiated themselves in pleasure and alcohol and drugs to neutralize the pain of separation. Thus, you see, when the way finally opens again some no longer have the hope or the trust or even the [heart] to believe that God is there waiting and ready to help.
So, beloved, as you can recognize what the absence of the parent can do to a child [psychologically], building in [him] resentment, fear, anxiety, a sense of abandonment and aloneness, so [you can] understand how many long centuries and millennia [of seeming rejection] have brought some almost to [the] point of spiritual hopelessness and beyond that [to] a profound anger that would erupt against the Divine Parent when the Divine Parent does finally return. <3>
Yet, beloved, this is absolute karma, exacting. [It is indeed the karma of the child’s rejection of the Divine Parents.] And that long period of absence is calculated [by the Great Law, which is always just,] to increase the longing, the love and the desire [of the child for the Father-Mother God]; and indeed it does in the Lightbearers. But so often those who have lost their Light go the way of the fallen ones, who [choose to] interpret such absence [of divine intercession] on the basis of their resentment [against God] that they could not control him, neither his comings nor his goings.
These elements [of the human consciousness] are the last vestiges of [the carnal mind] that separate you from your Mighty I AM Presence. It is like the parent who loses the child; and when the child is found, the parent, [quickly] forgetting his happiness in finding the child, does scold the child, “Where have you been? We have been looking for you all the day long!” Thus the child is spanked and disciplined as a reward for returning home. Thus it is a role reversal as children spank their [Divine] Parents [for returning to earth]: “Where have you been? Where were you when I needed you?”
Well, in reality, as Maitreya has taught you, God has never departed but the soul has departed [from God, descending] into other levels and vibrations. <4> So God was there all the while but where were you? Why were you not developing the [God-given] faculties [that would have allowed you to maintain constant contact with your Father, your Mother]? Why did you not put out the antenna? Why could you not attract to yourself the secret rays and cosmic rays, the emanations of your God?
Karma, beloved. [By deeds done] you had lost the skill, you had become dense by [the] karma [of your failure to exercise your soul faculties. You made the choice to tune your antenna to the pleasures that delighted the senses. And the generations of your offspring carried the same density. And density begat density,] and on and on, [until all lost their spirituality and became carnal creatures]. I am certain you understand [my] message and see it clearly [outpictured all around you].
Therefore, this year let the Christmas Rose be a violet-pink rose with depth of hue and color, a rose of love and forgiveness. Forgive yourself. Forgive your God. Forgive God when you think it is unthinkable to think that you have not forgiven him. Forgive the law of karma. Forgive every part of Life. Love every part of Life. This is the true healing [of the soul] at levels of the unconscious that would otherwise take many lifetimes and more to finally be healed. [Trust and obey the Law of Love.] For Love will fulfill the whole Law. <5>
And is this not [the cause of] the birth of my Son? Did he not come to introduce [Christ Truth] to a world? Did he not come to introduce the mercy, the forgiveness and the very grace of the Law [to a world] hardened against itself–children of the Light hardened against fallen angels, fallen angels hardened against their God? [Did he not state the supreme cause of his coming when he said, “For this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the Truth”? <6> And are not mercy and forgiveness and grace and Divine Love the highest Truth?]
Thus you know more and more as you encounter the compartments of the unknown self and [the] unconscious self how it is that by grace and grace alone you are saved. For, for all the works and the Works of God you might perform to his glory, unless grace be added as the multiplier, with the gift of mercy, mercy for mercy, it is truly not possible either to please God or to ascend to his throne.
The grace of God is the ingredient. May you be grateful in this hour that the Son of God did come into the world not to condemn the world but that through him by grace that world of the Lightbearers might know everlasting life. <7> Where there is no mercy or forgiveness [or] grace or love, there is no God, no intercession, no advancement on the Path and no integration of the soul with the [living] Word.
I leave you in the contemplation of the glory of the Lord and his grace. May his grace be upon you now and in the hours and days and weeks ahead, multiplying your effort. Each and every one of you [who have been brought to the fount of the Ascended Masters] has come by the karma of your lifestream to master the physical body, the physical octave and your survival in it. May you take it seriously, beloved; for this is the grace, as opportunity, that God has given to you, and out of it is the formula for your victory.
I mark the sign of the cross and seal you in the violet-pink rose of love and forgiveness.
