Walk in the Hollow of My Footprint
Precious children of the planet earth, as the wind sigheth through the boughs of the trees, so does the hunger of mankind for the Spirit of Truth create a desire for a greater and more complete contact with the presence of the Divine One within the heart, mind and being of man.
The shield of God within the heart is ever the shield of faith. And the faith that men have, when it mounts up, becomes as wings of light to raise their consciousness out of human dimensions into the realm of attainment and comprehension of our laws.
The search for the phenomenal in human consciousness, the search for manifestation, is often the result of misguided hungers within the heart. When the soul of man truly comprehends the Divine Law, it goes not out in search for the phenomenal but seeks to unfold the divine flame within the recesses of the individual’s own nature.
The masses of mankind have never been the forerunners of the race; [the forerunners] have always been the few who are the valiant manifestation of individual lives dedicated to cosmic purposes. Thus we are determined this day to enhance the individual’s search for the sacred fire essence, the material of spiritual substance, the radiant light that enters the lantern of every man and spreads abroad the light set on the hill of being into a full-orbed vision for all to see.
I Sustained the Holy Memory of Almighty God
Transient is individual life. Evanescent and fading is the light of the mind that goes unnourished by frequent and recurrent contact with its own God-flame. When I sat upon the throne of beauty in Shamballa and sustained for this planet its marvelous, divine radiance, it was for the sake of men whose thoughts were far from me.
These men did not even once in several embodiments so much as know my name or understand their own raison d’être. But in an impersonal way and for the sake of Hierarchy and the Divine One above, I sustained for this planet the holy memory of Almighty God, the memory of the days within the forcefield of his consciousness when he poured his love through the atmosphere of the planet and it was received with joy not only by the elemental beings of this earth but also by embodied mankind who understood the meaning of the release of the sacred fire, who understood the meaning of nourishing the God-flame within themselves.
In those days, when godly men met it was for an exchange of beauty and a divine salutation. Today when men meet it is to observe the pleasantries of life and to manifest mortal substance. In those days, the God-essence was loved by mankind above the coin of the realm and tribute was rendered not unto Caesar but unto God. The banner of righteousness was upheld in the land, and the law of the golden age that made every man his brother’s keeper was adored and worn upon the body in the sacred ancient writings of the Sensar. <1>
Then the Flood came and the Flood swept away mankind. But the flood was not physical in its first outpouring; the flood was spiritual decadence and spiritual ignorance. This flood came first and took away mankind into severance from the Divine One and thus, long before the bodies of men perished, their waspish minds conceived of all manner of iniquity that they then practiced against one another.
God’s Intent for Planet Earth
What do you think the Law means, precious ones, the law of gold, the law engraved in the hearts of men?
It is the cosmic honor flame of life. It is a tribute, not only to me whom ye call the Ancient of Days, but to the Most Ancient of Days whom I addressed and served. For in the realm of Hierarchy there is ever the magnificent procession of devas and cosmic beings, avatars and servants of the light, reaching back into antiquity long forgotten and to the heart of the Central Sun.
There within the transcendent light of the Eternal Father, the energies and intents of his heart fulfill cosmic destiny. And great was the light that beamed through the Sun behind the sun, the essence that occurred, as men reckon time and space, so many, many light-years away from this planet as to be inconceivable even to the wisest among men.
In this individual world of form and in the world of every man, there is scarcely a realization of the intent of God for the planet earth. Because there are many people embodied here, as your eyes would count it, you may be inclined to overestimate the quality of earth life. You may be inclined to overestimate the consideration of heaven which, with the beauty of its telling, releases into the astronomical cosmic world, the grand Macrocosm, the essence of a plan so beautiful and noble as to be worthy of the grand Architect of universal Love.
The power of universal Love is not a puny power. The power of universal Love is not a transitory thing nor will it produce an enervating manifestation. Forever it will produce the vital essence of life that shakes the solar systems of the universe even as man today will shake the substance of the earth in preparation for planting in fallow soil.
Radiant, then, is the God intent. It is as a song, a melody within the heart and a melody within the heart of every cosmic being and angel. We who deal in rings of fire, in concentric rings of fire and in the concentric release of cosmic truth, we who know the meaning of the cosmic egg at inner levels and understand the white-fire body because we yet live in it, we speak to you who are yet embodied in physical form and we say, Hark! the dawn appears.
A Solemn Warning
I address directly, at the request of the Hierarchy, certain individuals in this room who are creating a disturbance. I warn you solemnly in the name of Almighty God that for a considerable period of time, which may accumulate to many lifetimes, any disturbance wrought against this release and this address will be accounted most solemnly against your record.
Ignorance will not stand as an excuse, for this Messenger warned you before the service started and I am warning you only once, and then if the Law must be fulfilled, so be it. The purposes of this release are not understood by all mortal men. The purposes of this release are for the sake of America and as a stopgap against negative forces that seek the wanton destruction of mankind en masse.
We who know the meaning of the flow of avatars, we who have seen the procession of Cosmic Christs, we who have seen the Buddhas descend, we who have watched the lifestreams now embodied upon this planet plead at the portals of birth for the opportunity to return to the screen of life know the value of each individual life. And truly the life of a sparrow is not worth (nor are the lives of many sparrows worth) one living soul whom God has loved, a Spirit-spark of infinite, cosmic identity.
But oh, how illusory is identity, precious ones. What a truly evanescent, changing thing is identity! Today you are wedded to one concept and tomorrow you will have discarded it. Today you are wedded to one idea about yourself and tomorrow it will have changed into another idea.
But there is a measure of cosmic constancy that may be invoked by mankind that will cause them to understand how deposits can be made in the cosmic bank of spiritual superabundance and how they can harness the divine forces within their world and make a perpetual deposit forever according to the ancient priesthood of Melchizedek!
We Bring Mankind from Death to Life
Do you know the meaning of immortal life and do you know the meaning of death?
We are Lords of Life and Death. We understand how to bring mankind from death unto life, how to create the quickening power of universal Love and universal Law, which are consonant ideals. These ideals are made of cosmic fire! They are the virtue of Almighty God and from them the substance of worlds without end was fashioned.
We understand the banks of Sirius. We understand the radiant spheres of cosmic glory. We understand the beauty of illumination in the face of a holy child set upon a master’s knee, of whom the Master said, “of such is the kingdom of heaven.” <2> For these holy children were not immersed in human sophistication, they were immersed in God ideals centered around home and family, around love for parents and an understanding of responsibility in the human family as well as in the divine.
Know, then, that the ray that is anchored in a holy child is a sacred gift, and whosoever shall harm one of these little children of God’s heart, it would be better for him indeed if a millstone were tied around his neck and he were cast into the sea of mortal illusion. <3>
There is no confusion, dear hearts, in the eternal kingdom. There is no confusion, blessed ones, in the light of God’s face. His countenance is a dazzling radiation of pure fire Love, which pours through the universe as resounding chords of cosmic harmony. Each world emits a note in the great cosmic orchestration and has a responsibility of considerable value to the light of God that does not fail but is disseminated throughout the world sphere and in the universal order of things as the gift of divine intelligence, power and wisdom, conveyed without limit into the world of form so that the world of form may respond to the drumbeat of the Cosmic Mother and to the blessed rhythms of the holy Eternal Father.
The Androgynous Nature of God
The androgynous nature of God, although clearly depicted upon the human form, is not understood by mankind. They do not recognize how the white-fire body of immortal substance has been cleaved in twain and God has made out of one, two, and called them male and female. They do not understand the meaning of this. They do not understand duality; they misunderstand it. And by a considered misappropriation of energy, they go out into the world of form and find themselves trapped again and again behind the veil of mortal illusion.
Supposing themselves to be separate from one another and from God and Nature’s God, they walk as though they were kings in a world where they have merited nothing but beggary. Their responsibility is the responsibility of a living Christ, and responsibility does not sleep, even as God does not sleep. For he who keepeth Israel (he who keepeth all that is real about man and about life) does not slumber and does not sleep. <4>
He watcheth over the children of men and over their comings and goings. He bringeth his light into the domain of darkness and his light is set upon a hill and it radiates and pours out power into the world order. Yet men do not realize the release of that substance or from whence it came and thus they appropriate it as though it were their own. And they consider for a moment, because they can move their earthly limbs and impel themselves to act by the power of thought, that they have indeed achieved some preeminence in the world of form.
Yet they are but babes in the eyes of God! And the knowledge that is imparted unto mankind below, even unto the greatest scientists, is but a small fragment of the scintillating sun. It is but a pinch of dust, and betimes it is but a single grain or one yet split into many particles.
Resurgam Christos!
We are not concerned with belittlement; we are concerned with dispelling illusion. And we are concerned with restoring to mankind in his own domain, the domain of the individual, a solemn recognition of cosmic responsibility, the understanding that life awaits to pour out at the individual’s doorway the blessing of true Christ-dimension, the blessing of cosmic comprehension, the blessing of pure perfection, the blessing of resurrection and resurrection’s flame.
Resurgam Christos! Arise, then, O light within men and summon thy divine energies as never before! For the time is short and the Cosmic Lords have deliberated long as to that activity, which has now become a fait accompli in embryonic state and is now manifesting at this instant in the world of form and causing hearts to tremble.
You will find, precious ones, that man indeed in his mortal state is as the chaff before the wind. The beloved one who has sinned the sin of ignorance, who has ignored the divine power that gave him birth, who has ignored cosmic purpose, will one day stand face-to-face (and he cannot escape it), before his own Divine Presence. And an accounting and a reckoning shall be made for each part of life.
Call it judgment or what you will, it is the opportunity for that soul either to live or to become as though he were indeed a part of death. Man himself has asked for life. To him was given the precious fragment, the spark, of God’s own energy, which he calls life. [It] is the precious power to free him from all mortal error and to transport him into the dimensions of pure Spirit while he yet walks the earth below, accomplishing, then, in God’s name, the full intent and purpose of the divine ideal to draw forth from the sacred fire itself, through the flame within his own heart, that which will nourish every divine quality within and make him free from all mortal sin and error and, with error’s pains, pangs of darkness.
This God would destroy by transmuting it into light, releasing the white-fire core of pure energy within the center of the ray and seeing that the shadow that exists today in the appearance world of form is no longer reborn in the mind of men but is separated from them again and again by the great separating power that saith unto the chaff, “Thou shalt be blown, even as a whirlwind shall blow thee, and never shalt thou be anymore.”
For darkness and pain, ignorance and bane, suffering and weakness shall all disappear as the Lord of Glory, with fan in hand, shall come to the threshing-floor and say unto that floor, “Behold, the time has come.” <5>
Follow in My Footsteps
As in the days of Noah before the preparing of the ark, as in the days when men laughed and danced and sang and made an altar unto themselves, so it has now come into the world that mankind have ignored the wonderful, permanent gift of God’s Love and have sought rather to administer their lives by a code that they have created. And they have felt that they were above the Law, which is the Law of Love.
Therefore they are berated today not by our record but by the cosmic record they have made, and there is no outer condition that can change it save the precious divine intent, which must be reframed within to create the bent that is no longer slanted toward the sin of ignorance but acknowledges instead the priceless gift that God has placed ahead of every mortal illusion. He has said, “Thou shalt follow in the steps I walk. Within the hollow of my footprint, thou shalt walk.”
Hear, then, the voice of authority within yourself! You need not merely listen to our words beamed to you through this Messenger. You can find the drumbeat of Almighty God in every precious heartbeat in your own frame. You can claim in the thoughts of your mind the power to release you from all that binds and blinds. You can comprehend the power of the flame that has made from your flesh form and bones a frame for you to inhabit for a time.
Now, then, be released from the sense of all that is not divine and feel that flame blaze through! Feel the pulse that is you, not I but you, coming down from above you through the sky as a bolt of electrifying cosmic substance intended to set you free now and forever--not for you alone but for the world and for all men who ever lived to atone for all they have ever done that is less than the perfection of the eternal moment of divine direction.
Understand now the Law that is within thyself! And it would be well if ye stood in holy awe.
[Audience rises.]
From the courts of the sacred fire I speak, and out of the flame I have come. I have come from thyself, from thy True Self. And as the Ancient of Days, I would restore to the world the precious days of praise when men could walk the streets and without fear unfurl the banner of their allegiance to divine things. Today fear has wrought a strange stupor in the midst of the congregation of the righteous. And men are ashamed lest others think them ridiculous because they speak the name of God. What a strange thing this is in the courts of God!
Men, not drifting as a raft upon the ocean of life but men to whom the cosmic craft has given the summum bonum of all life, to you, I say, the angels minister this day without fear, and the flame of God is right here within you. It will appear to your mind if you will open the doorway of that mind and let flow our direction here below to transform the world and to show all upon it that the world is a thing of beauty and opportunity unparalleled anywhere in the universe. [Here] God will stoop to wash the feet of men with the fire of his heart and will offer them all that does impart radiance and a new opportunity to start right where they left off adoring the plan divine, adoring the flame that is thine, adoring the way I AM, adoring the Way.
Defend it, then, and commend it by your acceptance of it. (Won’t you please be seated.)
Lady Venus Gives Divine Direction
Ladies and gentlemen, the lovely Lady Venus, who accompanied me into your midst, spoke unto me and said just a moment past, “My beloved one, have you not perhaps released too much of the fire of your heart, and might it be just a little bit wiser if, perhaps, you had spoken a wee bit more softly?” And I tell you this that you might know that heaven’s sons can also accept the type of divine direction that defends the law of man’s being.
And so I stand as your advocate before the courts of light. If you will accept your divine opportunity this day, this night I will stand for you before the cosmic record and will assist you in unraveling the snarls within the ball of yarn so tangled of mortal substance so jangled and confusing.
I will teach you even as Maitreya did teach the Christ. I will guide you as the Buddha did Ananda. I will assist you and help you as you walk the path that is straight into the realms of divine perfection. Not of fate, of misshapen direction, where men conceive of some willy-nilly law that touches down here and there as a will-o’-the-wisp appearing over the human marshes.
Nay, I say. I will convey the essence of a straight path that leads to the fulfillment of the law of cycles in realms of vast, universal complementation. For God will complement each soul and unite each individual with the other half of the self in the course of time. They whom God has joined together let no man put asunder, <6> and ye shall all find that beautiful paradise of perfection at the end of the road, the perfect day.
Carrie Jacobs-Bond
Do you know, precious ones, Mother Mary comes to me at this moment to say to you all that a very special thing has been done for Carrie Jacobs-Bond who wrote “A Perfect Day.” <7> Those of you who wish to understand that which has happened may apply to your Divine Presence. For Mother Mary agrees with Hierarchy that we must be extremely careful when we release information to the students so that they may always derive from it the best gifts and graces.
n the name of the living Christ within ye all and in the name of divine understanding, I want you all to recognize in the story of the destruction of Sodom the mercy of God concerning this earth. Bear well in mind that Sodom did not stand although Abraham defended it.
Bear well in mind that this earth is but a speck of cosmic dust, and they who walk on it by occasion of divine grace must respect that occasion, for one cannot stand in the court and in the docket for another and answer for his sins. The world must accept the responsibility of life that wins and wins and wins and wins and wins and wins.
Prosit!
