To the Cosmic Spirit of Liberty and those great Beings who embody that virtue,
the Goddess of Liberty and Beloved Paul, Chohan of the Third Ray:
We bow in humble gratitude and reverence for the liberty given to us by God to
use life through the ages. Without liberty to draw upon the Source of Life, we
should, have no being, no intelligence, no self-consciousness.
To you who have mastered the use of life and who desire, when given an
opportunity, to show mankind how to use liberty wisely, we dedicate this issue
of "The Bridge to Freedom".
Let your directing Intelligence and Wisdom show man that the liberty to use life
is given, not for a personal satisfaction of the fleeting personality, but to
help to weave the pattern of the Divine Plan of this Universe. Let your Cosmic
momentum of the wise, directed, controlled, loving use of life become the
inspiration for all who were created of God
for a purpose.
Let your realization that liberty to use life is not
license to distort it, become the consciousness of the entire human race and the
Elemental Kingdom.
We are grateful for liberty to have being, to join the energies and talents
which God has given us to fulfill his purpose. Let this gratitude become the
daily thinking, feeling consciousness of all who. use the Earth as a schoolroom
now and in the future.

CHATEAU DE LIBERTE
August 15th, through September 14th, 1955
In the southern part of France is the focus of the Liberty Flame for the planet
Earth. This Flame was magnetized, guarded and amplified in intensity and power
to act in the physical appearance world for many centuries by the Brotherhood of
Liberty.
Every God virtue comes earthward, anchored through the heart of some volunteer
spirit who chooses to weave its essence and substance into the mental, feeling,
etheric and physical substance of the evolutions using the Earth for a
schoolroom upon life's way. Then, through the ages, others, sensing the Presence
of that Flame (Virtue), choose to give to it their own life. Thus, it becomes
stronger and more powerful in its radiating activity for the blessing of all.
This is a part of the marvelous gift of the Godhead in allowing self-conscious
intelligence to cooperate with him in giving of his nature
to
those who can and will accept it.
The gift of liberty to use life was given at the beginning of self-consciousness
to every being. The gift of expanding the knowledge of how to use that liberty
to fulfill God's Divine Plan is given by the brothers and sisters who have
chosen the expanding of the Liberty Flame as their
"reason for being."
When the continent of Atlantis was weighted down with the pressures of human
creation, the priests and priestesses of the Temples who had retained contact
both with their own Individualized Christ Self and the Ascended Masters, were
apprised of the coming cataclysm several years before it occurred.
They determined among themselves to anchor the Cosmic Flames which they had
guarded and protected through the centuries, into their own Heart Flames and
transport them to other portions of the Earth's surface which would survive the
impending changes.
Those who guarded the Flame of Liberty and who volunteered to take it from
Atlantis, were directed to turn their attention and their course toward what is
now southern France. This they did and the hardships, the endurance, the faith,
the love and the sacrifice which made such a mystic transference possible, could
not!
be recorded in these few pages. Suffice it to say, the Liberty Flame was
established in France and its pulsating, radiating power has inspired men and
women through the ages to desire to use liberty wisely for themselves and to
help set all mankind free by the same wise use of that Virtue.
The Chohan of the Third Ray, Beloved Paul (the Venetian), also uses this focus
of the Liberty Flame to enable individuals who have developed talents along
certain. lines of musical, artistic and literary expression, to have the liberty
to express those talents and refine them by the encouragement of his patronage
and the inspiration of the Liberty Flame (which many of them do not. know
exists).
Every man has come earthward with some potential gift to offer to bless the
Earth and all thereon. This undeveloped gift lies, like the dried seed before
planting, within the Heart Flame of everyone. The burning desire to become a
great musician, a great actor, a great singer, a great writer or a great patriot
signifies the stirring of that
"reason for being"
which will give the soul no rest until the potential becomes the manifest fact.
The Beloved Paul and his Associates choose to direct the Flame of Liberty
through these heart-desires and encourage in every manner (spiritual and
practical) the development of these gifts.
In his lovely Chateau you will find not only the accomplished artist but the
hopeful amateur. You will look upon not only the magnificent portraits,
sculptures and works of art of the genius but also the clumsy attempts of the
hopeful one's who stand at the bottom of the ladder of perfection.
On the soft night air, perfumed with the roses that climb lovingly around the
marble columns of his garden, you will hear
not only the magnificence of the Music of the Spheres but also the tremulous
endeavors of the beginner, whose heart motive has drawn the interest and
cooperation of this Loving Brotherhood. The very pertinent aphorism of that
Brotherhood is "I
Am my Brother’s Keeper".
Each gentle reader has a certain talent, gift or potential power which is to be
developed "to the glory of God." While bathing in the essence of the Liberty
Flame, LET IT expand and become
the spiritual aura of your being, the perfume of your Presence, the externalized
reason for your being to the
blessing of all life.
