Beloved Lord Maitreya, the Cosmic Christ! 

GREETINGS! BLESSINGS! GRATITUDE! From the Sons and Daughters of the Spiritual Hierarchy whom you have guarded, guided, protected and illumined through the centuries. 

Over and above the great Avatars and Masters, YOUR LOVING PRESENCE STANDS. Through the consciousness of all Teachers, human and divine, YOUR instruction and radiation flows. 

Each two thousand year cycle, YOUR Wisdom directs the inauguration and inculcation of the great religion which will be the faucet through which God's love, inspiration, power and benediction flows to the evolutions unfolding upon this sweet Earth. 

By the side of every individual who desires to serve God and his fellow man, YOU stand! 

For this service so lovingly rendered through countless ages, the Masters, the Angels, the Elementals and the Holy Christ Selves of all men bless you forever! May your full Cosmic Christ Consciousness be manifest now through the souls of all whom you have loved so long, so faithfully and so truly.

Excerpts from an Address by

BELOVED SAINT GERMAIN

Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 1, 1955

Friends of Freedom, friends of old and, truly, friends forever! You will be delighted indeed to know that what has been called the "New Endeavor" is now an established "Activity!" That which we heretofore have qualified with hope has now become fulfilled manifestation! Each one of you is a pillar of a foundation upon which we shall build the permanent Golden Age of Freedom for this planet Earth. She shall be righted on her axis, emitting the sweet music of the spheres, radiating the color tone of Violet and truly a jewel in the crown of the great Universe to which she belongs. 

In the name of God, in the name of life, in the name of mercy, in the name of opportunity, I now consciously direct the Freedom Flame into the substance of America and through your own bodies. It shall expand until it covers this Earth. You have become an established permanent Activity from whence shall flow the essence of Truth accepted, according to the understanding of each strata of consciousness, until embodied mankind become its full expression. 

With the descent of the thoughtform (the Freedom Flame) for 1955, I Am fired with a new enthusiasm and zeal to carry the understanding of the spiritual laws of the Universe in to the outer consciousness of all peoples, of all races, of all nationalities, until they come to a realization that the Master-control of energy released through their own hearts is the purpose for which they took embodiment. This self-conscious Mastery is not only a possibility but a Cosmic decree which all mankind must externalize in order to complete their cycle of evolution. Presently, I have no one through whom to work but your blessed selves. Individually and collectively, I am depending upon your consciousness, your capacity to direct your understanding through the vibratory action of the various strata of human thought and feeling. For that very reason, you are varied in your interests. You are varied in your light, in your momentums of the past and in your capacity to be an open door to separate and distinct stratus of consciousness in the world of form. With great care, over a period of centuries, I have endeavored to train and develop the lifestreams who can be such open doors. I ask for the conscious expression of tolerance in your service one with the other! Each of you is enabled, (through past momentum and present opportunity), to reach different types of lifestreams. 

Though this short period we have built a student body upon which we can depend. Now as the beloved Goddess of Justice and myself take advantage of the pressures of the incoming tide of the year of 1955, we shall endeavor to expand our understanding of the Ascended Master Hierarchy, the Brotherhood of Angels, men and Elementals and the law of life genially, to a greater number of the peoples of Earth. We are prepared for expansion of this New Endeavor which has now become an Activity of great light. 

First and foremost, I bring the Freedom Flame to render a specific service to you individually, because you must become positive pillars of blazing light, in order to convince others through the power of contagion. You understand little yet about energy. Energy, acting in this world of form and in the higher realms as well, is the power by which all things are accomplished. It is the activity of God. Energy becomes power through conscious use. Within your Causal Body you have developed certain stores of qualified energy. In essence, this means that through all the centuries you have lived on this planet Earth, as well as on other Stars, you have taken primal life and experimented with it. You have directed it in thought, feeling, action or the spoken word into the pure universal life substance which makes up the inner and outer atmosphere of Earth. You have set up causes. Through the Law of the Circle, those causes have returned to you with an accumulated store of similarly qualified energy. If the cause was constructive, certain momentums of power for good developed in your Causal Body. If the cause was destructive, certain weaknesses and momentums of evil registered in your etheric vehicle. If you were to look at a man with the inner sight through the consciousness of an Angel, instead of the man's form you would see countless circles of energy pouring out from that one, some extending a great distance to the periphery of his aura and then returning back into the lifestream.

You would see also some smaller circles, no larger than a ring that you wear upon your finger. These circles of energy are what we look at when we endeavor to secure the offices of a chela for a world movement. The amount of dynamic power that you have naturally developed, depending upon your Ray, determines the size of each of these circles of force which are lines going out into the Universe. These must then return to the one who sent them forth to be redeemed by him (either through suffering or sublimation). For instance, a flicker of mild dislike or annoyance makes a comparatively small circle of energy and for that reason it reacts more quickly upon the lifestream. A tremendous concentrated resentment or hatred which embodies thoughts, feelings, spoken words and actions throughout an embodiment (or over a series of embodiments) toward an individual or condition, make a circle of energy sometimes thousands of miles in circumference. Those circles of energy often take many embodiments to return to their creator. They do not return as quickly as the smaller spurts of surface emotions or surface mental aggravations. It is the return of these tremendous drives of accumulated destructive energy through the centuries, these great circles that have been sent out, sometimes as far back as Lemuria, which are the returning currents of destructive karma. These are the currents particularly watched by the Karmic Board in the protection of the soul in an Earth life. 

When the soul stands before the Karmic Board and is accepted for incarnation, these circles of cause and their ultimate effect are studied carefully. Only so many of these circles are allowed to complete their circuit return within the course of an Earth life. No unascended being can understand the mercy of that Law. 

Cosmic Angels and Devas of the Violet Fire, from Kwan Yin's legions particularly, offer to hold back the return of these terrific pressures that would be more than the soul could handle in one Earth life. They are held back until the soul within itself develops enough light to sublimate and transmute those energies. Only a certain amount of karma is allowed to find anchorage within the consciousness of the individual within an ordinary cycle of physical embodiment. The old statement "the Lord fits the back for the burden" embodies this Truth. When individuals desire, as you did, to become part of the Court of Freedom and to apply for the Ascension; when they stand before the Karmic Board and receive opportunity for embodiment, they often ask that they may sublimate and transmute all of those currents sent forth, deliberately or unconsciously, from the beginning of time. They little know for what they ask. The Law requires that each one must transmute all the energy that he has deliberately misqualified before he can achieve the Ascension. Individuals are carefully studied, mentally, emotionally, etherically and physically, to see if these returning currents will more or less "snow them under" or whether you can stand unmoved, drawing forth whatever power of concentrated purification is required to undo the mischief which they have created through the ages. 

I tell you, as one who has stood Sponsor for mankind and who has seen some of these great currents of energy, it is a bold stroke for the soul to ask to be a focus for the return of all those currents of energy in one embodiment, in order to be God free. This is why some of you have had difficult experiences in this life. It is one reason why you sometimes feel a sense of discouragement and failure, when these circles of energy returned are a pressure upon your feeling world, your mind or your etheric body. 

In the ordinary course of metaphysical study, where individuals are engaged in either becoming financially free, removing themselves from certain limitations of flesh, or mental worry, they are studying abstractly the Law of Life, but they have not applied for the Ascension. The Cosmic Law has not granted them the opportunity for sublimating the return of all these great circles of force. They are held within a protective shell where "ignorance is bliss." They play with thought force creating their little dollars and animating their tiny worlds with small manifestations which please them. They are not the conscious chelas who are drawing millions of years of energy back through the door of their own consciousness, so that at the close of the embodiment, when the great Godself calls them to come "Home," they may truly say "it is finished! I leave not one atom, one electron qualified imperfectly." Do you know what that means, beloved ones? You have lived on Lemuria, Atlantis, in Babylon, in Persia, in China, in Egypt. You have lived, you have loved, you have hated, century after century and life after life. All of that energy is part of the etheric consciousness which forms the atmosphere over those countries. All of that energy has been charged by you. Many individuals today still have physical bodies embalmed in Egypt. Part of that energy is your own. It is not a matter of a moment to transmute and sublimate a life-cycle that has entailed millions of years of living. Common sense will tell you this. 

There is one thing that I ask of you in this year of 1955 and that is that you raise your heads, straighten your spines and free your consciousness from a sense of inadequacy, of failure, of depression, of lethargy, of fear and of doubt, either as to your ability to handle returning energy or as to your ability to represent me in the world of form. I make no mistakes! I would not have invited you; beloved Morya would not have invited you to be a part of this great Activity; Serapis Bey would not have written across the breast of your etheric garments "Candidate for the Ascension" if it were not absolutely and positively known by Intelligences so great that the human mind would reel before Their power, that you could do this and do it well! In the name of God Almighty! Do you think that the mercy of the Law would allow an innocent soul standing before the Karmic Board, to accept a recoil of energy which was beyond its capacity to handle?

That is what the Karmic Board was created for, beloved ones, to be a Judge of what the soul could stand; to give opportunity to the soul; to redeem a certain amount of energy in the course of an Earth life, not to weigh it down through such a pressure of destructive karma that no progress could be made. I want to disabuse your minds forever of any thought that the Karmic Board is a Board of judgment in the sense of punishment. The greatest opportunity in the world is afforded you when energy returns to you to make things right. The greatest opportunity in the world is to use this Flame of Freedom and to stand unmoved, centered and poised within your own God Flame. Stop this consciousness of negative fear that either, you have not lived, up to your light; that you are not worthy to be among the representatives of Freedom; that you don't believe that the activities at Inner Levels are real or that you cannot make the grade! Nonsense! Absolute nonsense! If there is one thing that the force desiring to delay the progress of this planet wants it is to throw the cold water of indifference and lethargy over the expanding light within your soul. Lethargy, indifference, self-condemnation which seem harmless in themselves, are very vicious indeed. 

Think of those of us who gained the freedom and victory alone, century after century finding secret caves, places where we might hide; endeavoring there, with a few brave souls like ourselves, to contact the Ascended Host of Light. We desired to receive their instruction and then to experiment with magnetization, invocation and the direction of the light rays. There was nobody to tell us whether we were sorcerers or whether we were on the right path. There was nothing but our Heart Flame to direct us. Yet if we had allowed these negative qualities to make us fearful, we would still remain within the orthodox masses. I tell you frankly, if you are going to succeed, you must be positive, determined and confident within yourself. In the privacy of your own room, you must take yourselves in hand and decide first and foremost whether you are working with the Ascended Host or not. If you feel that you are not then you must wait for another opportunity in a later day. You must measure everything that we have given according to the code of Truth; according to the code of balance; of purity, of wisdom and of love. Then, when you have made up your mind stay constant to that decision and move forward into the Light of Freedom! 

Those few of you who have had contact with the mentally unbalanced in this embodiment have some small knowledge of how the etheric body repeats, repeats and repeats some particular obsession. That forms the consciousness in which the blessed soul lives. Living in the past, beloved ones, is not good. Live in the now and prepare for the future. Do you know that all your resentment, all your hatred, all your dislikes are part of that depravity which is the result of living in the past? 

The etheric body is the storehouse of memory. You have worn an etheric body even before you took the first earthly form. In that etheric body is stored every memory which is a result, as I said before, of sending out a current of energy and its returning effect. Every overture of friendship that resulted in a disillusionment is recorded there. Every misplaced trust that you have put in a representative of God, is recorded there. Every happy experience that you had with your fellowman is recorded there. Your etheric body (looking at it with inner sight) is a composite of light and shadow. It is scarred with all these terrific experiences where lifestreams have clashed, where injustice has been done, where self-righteous indignation has flared. These marks in the etheric body have been sown up, so to speak, by the Elemental who is in charge of the etheric garment, just as you would sew up an incision after an operation. As you know, any abnormal pressure on an incision is liable to burst it open. So too, in the etheric body, when individuals who have had terrific rivalry and discordant experiences come together and this rush of energy and power (particularly of a conscious chela) flows through the etheric garment, sometimes those scars burst open. Then you have a conflagration! Your body consciousness has so long ruled you that the "I AM" Self, centered within the Heart Flame, has not been allowed the conscious control of your energy. Your mental, your emotional, your etheric and even your physical bodies are, for the most part, the control of your energies. Seizing upon that energy, these bodies cause it to act. Then, in the quiet of your own home when you are still, you wonder why in the world you have said, done and felt certain things. 

There must come a time now when you become master of your vehicles and the energies which they have misappropriated. Now is the time when the purification of these inner bodies should take place. Your etheric body is your point of contact with the physical appearance world. 

There is so much to say and there is so little time to say it. There is only so much that your mental body can absorb before it becomes heavy, like a flower too heavy for its stem and it just bends over. You have seen beautiful tulips in the early Spring that have a lovely "cup". Sometimes the stem itself cannot hold the weight of that cup and droops. That is what happens when we talk with you. One after the other among you, like a stem which holds your upraised consciousness, your endeavor and sincere desire to know, begins to bend and your cup turns over just like that tulip with the heavy head. Then we know that, as much as we have to say, as much as we want to share, as much as we want to pour our further radiation, there is very little more we can do. As you make your "stem" stronger (which comes through learning the power of concentration); as you learn the power of controlled feeling; as you let go of tension; then will we be able to talk longer, to impress more deeply upon you these Truths and to carry into your world that vital fire which you will require in the days that are to come. 

This is my plan, I would like you to accept it if you can. Just raise those little heads for a minute longer. 

Each Chohan, when he begins a new endeavor, has to enter the Heart of the Silence and find out how to present the Law through the vibratory action that can best reach the minds of the people embodied. It is the souls of embodied mankind that the Chohan must serve. The Karmic Board, through Cosmic Law, decides who is to come into embodiment; who is to get the benefit of the radiation during every two thousand year cycle. Then the Chohan, who is the heart of the radiation for that two thousand years, has to draw forth from the Heart of God a way and means of presenting that particular aspect of Truth, so that the individuals who are his charges in that two thousand years, will get the greatest possible benefit. 

Beloved Lord Maitreya supervises each successive Chohan in this preparatory service. When it became apparent that I was to have the opportunity of representing the Freedom Flame in this two thousand year cycle (as the great Cosmic Wheel turns), I had no more to work with than you have in this room today! I had only my consciousness, my mind, my feelings and my access to God and his Universal Wisdom, through contemplation. People think that as soon as you become Ascended, every plan is laid out before you. That is not true. Each of us on the scale and ladder of evolution up to Alpha and Omega themselves, must use our faculties to develop a "seed idea" and I am sure that Alpha and Omega do the same with the superior Sun of the galaxy of galaxies. Each of us has to draw forth consciously ways and means to fulfill our part in the Divine Plan. 

First, I had to find a place on the surface of the Earth free enough of etheric records so that the consciousness of mankind would not be over-laid with the tremendous blood records, distresses and fears of the past. America was such a place. Then I had to find individuals whose consciousness I could reach by whatever means I could evolve, individuals who would believe in me, those whose consciousness was receptive enough to receive my vibration and share my vision. This was not too difficult, for I had friends of many ages, all of you here among them. These individuals I endeavored to contact, first, through the kind offices of Helena Blavatsky and others.

Then there was before me the problem of how to benefit the race quickly. One day while I was within the Heart of the Silence, the beloved Archangel Zadkiel and the great Arcturus (one of the Elohim) gave to me the idea of training people in the power of invocation, in the power of magnetization and in the power of conscious decrees. That day was the happiest day in my service as a Chohan, for I knew that which could be accomplished through individual and group endeavor would hasten the Earth's evolution by millions of years. The establishment of groups of people upon the surface of the Earth who could create "forcefields", by releasing their energy in giving decrees; magnetic centers to draw the Angels, the Devas and the powers of God, became my aim. These radiating centers would be foci through which God's blessings would spread forth into the mental and feeling worlds of mankind. That became my next endeavor. Such groups were established, decree patterns were set up and a certain understanding of the spiritual law of the "I AM Presence" entered the consciousness of the people. 

Then the beloved Maha Chohan and beloved Morya came to me with the opportunity to expand the understanding of a few who could sense my vibration and would be willing to step across the abyss of reason into a new world. Each one of you has crossed that abyss upon the bridge of faith and has become a creator of "forcefields" which are magnetic currents drawing the Presence of the Ascended Host and the spiritual radiation from above. I could spend a month talking upon "forcefields" alone. 

Do you know what a magnet your heart is? It keeps the elements of Earth, water and air in your physical body from flying into space. It keeps the members of your body together. It keeps life flowing from the Central Sun through your individual Presence, which animates your form and gives you the use of life, intelligence and consciousness. It draws to you all manner of things good and evil, according to the power of your attention. That magnetic power in the heart has not been utilized consciously for a constructive purpose, by many individuals, since the days of Atlantis. 

Arcturus, Zadkiel and myself set into action at Inner Levels a plan whereby you might learn to magnetize more power and more light and thus expand your own individual spheres of influence. Then, collectively, you could create a "pull" on God Beings who, for the lack of this "pull," have not been able to serve mankind. Even Alpha and Omega themselves, (God Parents of this System, in the Great Central Sun) will not deny the magnetic pull of your heart. Remember the Sun itself, any Cosmic Being, any Angel, Deva or Power of Light, must respond to the magnetic pull of your heart in invocation. Then why allow the magnetic pull of your heart to draw into you disintegration, doubt, fear and all these things which are registered on the face the Earth, when you have within you the power to magnetize the blessings of even Alpha and Omega, the Beings in the Central Sun of our System.

The present condition of your physical and inner bodies is the result of unconscious magnetization. You have no idea what you draw into that there is, in reality, no limitation that can withstand the very nature of your being you are absorbers. You should also be radiating centers of constructive thought and feeling, absorbing only that which you consciously desire, instead of allowing yourselves to enter a state of negative consciousness which is mostly active except in the time of actual application. Your thoughts and feelings should be positive, positive, positive radiating centers in the knowledge of the mastery of the "I AM Presence"; in the knowledge of the Presence of the Angels, the Masters, the Devas and the Powers of Light; in the knowledge that there is in reality no limitation that can withstand the power of your light; in the knowledge that there is no ill health; in the knowledge that there is no distress, disintegration or death! 

Now, what is the usual reaction? A student comes into a class and stays for a course of seven days, becoming filled with the fire and enthusiasm which is the radiation of the Masters. Yet the moment that they return into their individual worlds and the energy of the masses touches them, they again absorb limitations. God! Oh, God! You are provided with two powers, the same as the Sun; the power of magnetization to draw toward you only that which you want and the power of radiating what you wish to give forth to bless life. Until you learn to control these two forces, you are a plaything for any energy that chooses to attach itself to you. 

The Sun wills to magnetize primal life, the first activity under Hercules. It desires to draw forth life for a given purpose. It thinks, "I will give light to this Universe," the second activity under Cassiopeia. Then it loves enough to say, "My light shall warm the Earth, shall give light and produce," the third activity under Orion. It also holds the purity of it's original concept, which is the desire to be a radiating center, the fourth activity under the Elohim of Purity. It concentrates upon what it is doing and doesn't decide to be a moon in the next moment. It is a "Sun of Righteousness", the fifth activity under Cyclopea. It does not say "I will give all today in a great rush of enthusiasm, tomorrow I will sleep." It is a rhythmic, constant outpouring, giving not too much, not too little, the sixth activity under Arcturus. It is a blessing. Anyone who sits in the Sunshine feels it's benediction of Peace, the seventh activity under the Elohim of Peace. The Sun decides within itself to take primal life and to do with it what it will. The result is that we are all alive. 

What do you want to do with your life today, tomorrow, forever? No person will ever get anywhere in this activity or in this Universe until they follow through the Science of Precipitation of the Seven Mighty Elohim. Decide what you want to do! Then refuse to be absorbers of that which is not in accord with your plan. Be POSITIVE in that radiation. Does the Sun cease to shine because of the cloud? No! It continues in tranquility to render an impersonal service and pour forth It's benediction to life, working through the two aspects of the Law, magnetization and radiation. You are magnetic centers! You are priests and priestesses of the Order of Zadkiel! You are my chelas! You have been trained in the rhythm of Arcturus. You have access to and a knowledge of Beings of whom no other group on the face of the Earth even know. Through the magnetic power vested in you, you can become radiating centers for Lord Michael's Faith; for Chamuel's Love; for Zadkiel's Power of Invocation; for Raphael's Concentration of all the life you contact to God's service; for Gabriel's Power to hold the Immaculate Concept for yourselves and your fellowmen; for Uriel's Power of Ministration; and for Jophiel's Consciousness of Illumination. 

Dearly beloved hearts! Think for a moment of my own experience. I decided to become the Guardian of the Violet Fire of Freedom's love. I came here today to a group of chelas and I find that somebody thinks he isn't worthy to be in this light; somebody else doesn't believe it’s true; somebody else thinks that it’s alright for energetic ones. Oh, my God! If you could see what is in mankind’s consciousness! Suppose, now, I were an absorber. I wouldn't have remained here this long; I would have gone Home. No matter WHAT energy you contact, you must be positive. That feeling comes first within the privacy of your own heart chamber. Go into your private room, shut and lock your door and make up your mind! Then stick to it! Stay with it! Magnetize what you want and stop being lethargic absorbers of imperfection!

You live in families with different consciousnesses; you work in mixed company in the business world. All the people you contact are constantly sending forth and drawing back their own energy in those circles of cause and effect of which I spoke. By the very nature of your being, you are either going to absorb that imperfect, consciousness or you are going to be an individual Freedom Flame in action. IN THE NAME OF GOD! I shall see that you are that Freedom Flame in action! I shall FIRE you! FIRE you! and FIRE you with the conviction that you are as powerful as the Sun. (Audience stood). Thank you beloved ones. Remember me when you go home, back into the vibratory action of the outer world. Remember you are endowed with the power to magnetize and to radiate. That is the whole substance of the Law. When you first became a conscious being and said and felt "I AM”, what did you do? You magnetized primal life and began to radiate it forth. What you do with those two powers will determine what you shall be.  

Thank you and good morning.
