Pearls of Wisdom

Vol. 58 No. 3 - Beloved Saint Germain - February 1, 2015

Everyone Has a Plan to Carry Out

The Maltese Cross as a Beginning
of a New Era in Our Activity

Part 1

My friends of the cosmic light, thou lovers of freedom from every clime, I greet you today in a spirit of divine rever- ence and compassion.

Knowing that all life is good as it flows forth from the great fountainhead of Almighty God, I am sure that you will easily find an acceptance of freedom’s holy light. The light and purity of freedom is the greatest boon to all the earth that has ever been in manifestation. For if it were not for the light of freedom, then no divine dignity would be possible. For freedom itself in expression is God.

Many among mankind today seem to feel so secure in pursuing their own will. For many years they have been bent backwards, as it were, in doing the will of themselves without consideration of the will of God or the holy light of freedom. These individuals, my friends—I tell you truly—do not know what they are missing.

To do the will of God, to take the dignity of freedom divine, and to love freedom and love the will of God is a sacred honor, an honor which men have often taken from themselves—through ignorance, it is true. But through wisdom, they will once again be able to take and accept the scepter of their own dominion and, in heart-gratitude, move forward to their own God flame and their own Christ-freedom in the light of God with all its unfailing reality.

I am so grateful for your calmness this morning. I am grateful for the great spirit of Christ-calmness which actually dwells over this lovely assembly. Your heart flames, blending as one, are actually a bouquet which graces these tables. And I like, therefore, to think of you as children of God blooming in his celestial garden. I come to you today with great gratitude—gratitude for the light of your hearts, gratitude for your courage, for your staunchness, for your freedom from fear and doubt, and for your search for greater light.

Today in this assembly there are those who have for many years served the light diligently. They have walked the high road of life’s perfection. True, there has been a falling short of the mark. But that is perhaps not only true of them, but it was also true of those of us who are now ascended. Prior to our ascension we too fell short, in some measure, of the mark. But when the hour came for our ascension in the light, we were elevated to our present station and the lovely advancement which we now wear. This shall come also to you.

However, there are those in this assembly who have not pursued the higher road. There are also seekers here who desire to know the Truth, and they too ought to be fed. Beloved Jesus said long ago, “Feed my sheep.”1 Today it is my intention—if you will hear me and listen diligently to my words with the [inner] ear behind your outer ears—to give you some sustenance for your souls that you may take a little of our great momentum of God-freedom in the eternal verities.

Beloved ones, words are but cups. They are cups which we charge with our own ascended master consciousness. And as we charge these words with our ascended master consciousness and you accept them into your own thinking and feeling world, you are actually partaking of the consecration of God of the bread of heaven; you are eating a spiritual manna. And, therefore, the Law declares that you cannot help but grow thereby and expand your life. It is true that if you give your devotion to me and your devotion to your own God Presence, you will receive greater nourishment from the spiritual food that I am today setting before you so that you may taste the bread of heaven and therefore expand and grow.

Beloved ones, this day is a day of beauty. Every day is a magnificent day which comes forth fresh from the hand of God. Every hour comes forth fresh from God’s hand. You qualify the energy that you draw from your own silver cord of ascended master light substance from your own God Presence, I AM. And you write, each day, upon the great eternal scroll of life either energy qualified with life’s perfection or energy misqualified with life’s im perfection. It is so much up to you what you will write and how the record shall read.

I am sure most of you realize that light itself, if it were not tampered with, could produce nothing but beautiful flowers and beautiful manifestations of eternal perfection. Mankind, however, possessing the power of qualification, are able to qualify light with pictures and with manifestations which are far from the beauty of the virgin spirit of life which is within their hearts.

I would like to pay allegiance at this moment to the great magnificent threefold flame that is within every one of you and within all life. This threefold flame is the eternal pulsation of Almighty God. The blue plume of faith, power and goodwill pulsates so rapidly, embodying all the great will of God. The yellow flame of illumination, the yellow plume, pulsates with all the eternal wisdom of God, the great Cosmic Christ intelligence. And the pink flame, the pink plume, blooms within your heart and speaks to you of the great enfolding love of God.

The perfect balance of these plumes is the fleur-de-lis,2 the great symbol which I myself used as a symbol of my activity. This symbol has been appropriated and used by France, where I worked for so long among the French people, for whom I have a great love. Nevertheless, beloved ones, it is a symbol which belongs to the ages. And so it is with every symbol which God has brought forth. These symbols belong to the ages, and they belong to every child of Earth. The appropriation of symbolism, the appropriation of life, of intelligence, even of wealth, by mankind, is carried on all over the world. And individuals often gather and call forth a certain quality or a momentum and say, “This is mine because I have externalized it.”

The great cosmic law is always kept in perfect balance. And while mankind continue to pile up treasures for themselves upon Earth, many times the great cosmic law, swinging into balance, suddenly sweeps these treasures away. And individuals do not know why, when they have labored so diligently for material accomplishments, these accomplishments seem to vanish and fade away from their very being.

Beloved ones, the words of blessed Jesus which he spoke, saying, “Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,”3 are not trite words. They are words to live by. And these words can become words of eternal life to you.

You perhaps remember the rich, young ruler who came to Jesus and said, “Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”

The words of the master, “Sell all that thou hast and give to the poor, and follow me,” were not pleasing to his ears.4 For he would much rather have heard that he could use these riches in accordance with his own desires that he might embellish the kingdom of God.

I would call to the attention of all in this august assembly that while all wealth and all light flows forth from the Presence, it is a gift of God to all life, to all men. Naturally, some individuals do merit greater portions of an outpouring of the cosmic wealth in one embodiment or another. How they shall use this, how they shall use their life’s energy is what determines just exactly the state of their consciousness and their advancement in the Father’s kingdom.

Some individuals are inclined to think in terms of money and wealth. They do not realize that they have talents other than money and that, by these talents, they are able to externalize every God-gift of good happiness and to spread it abroad among the children of men. Even in this group, here, there are individuals who are talented with their hands in many ways. Some are talented with their voices. Some are talented in other ways, with writing and with speaking. And in many ways, the use of these talents determines whether the Father shall expand these graces and gifts in your life. And therefore, in a very real sense, each one of you determines your own future.

Speaking of the future, I would speak of love. Love, my heart friends, is a reality. Love is not just a word. You have heard it said that love is God, and it is so. As you love one another, you would never hurt one another nor harm any part of life. You would spread abroad virtue and courtesy and nobility and graciousness. You would not desire to tear down or to destroy one another or to speak evil of one another. But you would look and search diligently that you might find the good in others. In this wise came the wise men of old to Bethlehem, seeking the young child that they might see the Father’s gift to the world.

All mankind, if they will, can come to the manger of the hearts of everyone they meet and there behold the Christ Child manifesting in this threefold flame, the Manchild which must expand its light and must grow until, first, there stands forth the young Christ ministering in the temple and speaking to the doctors.5 Then this Christ grows up and expands still further and becomes of full age, able to have all the powers of heaven. And eventually there stands in the place of the finite-appearing tiny flame, a great, magnificent cosmic flame; and the Cosmic Christ envelops the entire form and being of each individual.

This is the Manchild spoken of in Revelation, which says that he shall rule the nations with a rod of iron.6 Truly this is true, for the great cosmic Manchild is the gift of God to everyone. And it is up to each one to expand his own immortal threefold flame by loving and adoring the God flame within himself and expanding its attributes in perfect balance.

Today I would again call your attention to the symbolism of the fleur-de-lis. This symbol is also used by the Boy Scouts. And it was I who at inner levels inspired this upon mankind that they might teach the youth of the world—whom I love so much—a greater understanding of the outdoors and of freedom, so that they might have greater harmony in their worlds, minds and affairs.

All that we have done for freedom in the past has been accomplished through the power of the threefold flame and the power of expanding holy Christ-intelligence in the hearts of men and above them, acting as a Mediator between their own God Presence and their outer appearance forms.

Beloved ones, I am expanding my light and radiance now in this place. I have called for and asked that a legion of angels be sent for, that these angels may carry in their arms many, many beautiful roses and flowers. I have asked that these flowers shall pass through the atmosphere and gently fall like rain around all of you who are here, that you may feel the great love of the Cosmic Christ and of the divine intelligences that are here in the atmosphere this morning, desiring to pour out their love and their radiance through you.

Some feel that the term “the Darjeeling Council” and these other terms of the Great White Brotherhood are merely the creation of men’s minds or some curious thing. I tell you, beloved ones, these organizations are spiritual, and they come from the highest sources and the highest intelligences in the universe. They come to bear the rainbow rays of God’s eternal love for man. And they shall never pass away, because every child of Earth who will open his heart and consciousness to them shall be benefited thereby, even as all nature is benefited by the radiant light of the sun.

Beloved ones, the Great White Brotherhood is a magnificent organization. Yet mankind often, through lack of understanding, have apparently cheapened the term in the sense that individuals say, “I am a member of the Great White Brotherhood.”

Do they know that those who are members of the Great White Brotherhood are not inclined to speak of it? Do they know that those who are truly members of it are spiritual beings, elevated and raised through the pathway of divine initiations whereby their love is expanded to be like a cosmic being even before their ascension? Do they know the meaning of the Great White Brotherhood?

Beloved ones, there are the seven rays operating on this planet.7 There is the blue ray, the yellow ray, the pink ray, the white ray, the green ray, the purple and gold ray, and the violet ray—all of these. But I ask you, dear hearts, if you blend them together with the high speed of our Electronic Presence, do they not manifest as a white cosmic light? This is the light of God that never fails.

Remember, blessed hearts, that light is eternal and you are all parts of God. When you blend yourselves together and the various rays express at the higher level of the Great White Brotherhood, there is a blending of the Cosmic Christ light; and beauty and perfection is produced and inharmony can no longer be sustained.
