The Masters of Wisdom Speak
THE RESPONSIBILITY AND OPPORTUNITY OF EMBODIMENT
MAHA CHOHAN:
In the beginning, the individualized "I Am" Presence consciously
projected a portion of itself into the physical appearance world in order to
expand the perfection and beauty of the Kingdom of Heaven upon the planet Earth!
The centripetal power of the Immortal Threefold Flame around which the physical
body was fashioned, is often called the power of pure Divine Love. From the
natural elements found in and around the planet Earth, the Builders of Form,
together with the Holy Christ Self, built the physical body, as much like the
Divine Image (the Individual "I Am" Presence) as possible. Then began the long
journey which, through freewill, caused distortions in the physical body and its
attendant vehicles (mental, emotional and etheric). Man today stands at the
point where his own use of life has placed him. Some few desire within their
hearts to return to their Divine Estate and assume their Divine Heritage as Sons
and Daughters of the Kingdom. This requires that they learn the lessons provided
for them in the schoolroom of life in which they have fitted themselves to dwell
(Earth). Thus birth upon the planet Earth is such an opportunity to learn those
lessons which result in personal mastery of thought, feeling, spoken word and
action. It is my joy to give to each such an one the breath of life at the
beginning of each embodiment and to gently take the last breath from the lungs
at the close of that embodiment.
EL MORYA:
There are billions of individuals whose past utilization of energy
has qualified them to learn the use of life upon the planet Earth. These
individuals must await the summons of the Karmic Board, once each year in the
month of May. There, from a great number of individuals who are destined by law
in justice and mercy to embody, are chosen those who will be privileged to enter
the activities of Earth life in the next twelve months. The souls thus summoned
can be placed in several categories. Some are those who have spent sufficient
time at Inner Levels to have learned something of their past errors and are to
be given opportunity to use their newfound wisdom in a new Earth life. Some are
those who are reluctant to leave the pleasures of the Inner Levels and take upon
themselves the "yoke" of their own karma. Some are the chelas and students of
the Masters who have volunteered to help in a vital world hour.
KUTHUMI:
The balance of the mass karma of the planet Earth is such that the
Lords of Karma must watch very carefully that not too many with heavy
destructive personal karmas are admitted as temporary citizens upon the Earth
until an equal number with like karma are removed through the natural means of
so-called "death". Therefore, the more purification, illumination, understanding
and instruction which can be given the soul between Earth lives makes the "mass
karma" of the incoming children less in proportion to that of those leaving the
Earth through so-called "death". The establishment of schools, temples and
institutions of learning at Inner Levels has done much to assist in this
personal purification, preparatory to such re-embodiment. Of course, through
free will, all souls do not avail themselves of the opportunities afforded them
to purify and illumine themselves at the feet of the Masters. The impersonal
mercy of the Law does require, however, that after the passage of a certain
time, some of the souls who have been at Inner Levels must re-embody. These form
the saddest of souls who stand before the Karmic Board, for they know something
of what awaits them after birth on Earth. For them, dear students, I ask that
you sincerely pray!
PAUL, THE VENETIAN:
Of the chelas and students of the Masters who volunteer to renounce
the joy of staying in the Inner Levels in order to assist a Cosmic Activity, I
would speak. When the soul has finished one embodiment, the emotions, the mental
body, the etheric body are often weary with the experiences obtained in serving
life. The purpose of "recall" to the Heaven Realms is primarily to allow such
individuals to rest and recharge their inner vehicles, as well as to utilize the
instructions of the Masters and the activities of purification in the Temples so
they may reembody with greater strength and spiritual vitality. Those who know
the requirements of Earth at this time, often relinquish this period of
spiritual revitalization, offering to embody almost immediately to help a Cosmic
Cause. They also require prayers and blessings for, if they are among those
chosen for such rapid reembodiment, they will have to work through their lower
inner vehicles already wearied by the discordant experiences of the past
embodiment and this restriction will hinder, to some degree, the service to
which they are dedicated. It is just as though a man, in an emergency, works
through his natural night of rest rather than availing himself of the refreshing
hours of sleep and then must spend the next day at his usual tasks.
SERAPIS BEY:
Among those choosing to join the applicants for reembodiment, there
are always those who hope to complete their journey upon the Earth in the
ultimate sublimation of self. They are marked as "Candidates for the Ascension"
and come under the direction and supervision of the Brotherhood at Luxor. It
becomes our responsibility and obligation to provide the necessary experiences
in the Earth life which will cause them to sublimate the baser tendencies of
human nature and impersonally serve the race so that they can complete their
service on the Earth and enjoy the Victory of the Ascension. Unfortunately,
however, many forget that they have applied for such rigorous selfdiscipline and
find the experiences discouraging and distasteful.
HILARION:
The exact activity of the Cosmic Law is a comfort to those who have
seen It in action! For each individual (chela or student) who applies for
reembodiment, two other chelas or students must be denied that opportunity
during a twelve-month cycle. The entire chart of evolution is studied; the
Cosmic Activity which forms the heart of the progress of the race is taken into
consideration and then the Causal Body of the individual is studied, to see what
merits, momentums, powers and capacities such an one can offer to assist in the
world scheme. For each chela who is given an opportunity to embody, two other
fine and ofttimes more developed life streams must wait for another year for
opportunity to take an Earth body. Thus, the chela who secures such an
opportunity should not take it lightly but press forward upon The Path,
contributing as best he knows how, to the Light of the World and the happiness
and progress of his fellowman.
JESUS:
In the month of May, at my Mother's Temple of the Sacred Heart, it
is a beautiful sight indeed to see all the souls gathering together to be
blessed. These are those destined to take embodiment on Earth during the next
twelve months. She herself takes the very substance that the soul has qualified
through the ages and fashions the chalice (Sacred Heart) from the purest of that
substance in which the Immortal Threefold Flame of that lifestream will function
in the physical world. There are beautiful free Spirits from other planets who
volunteer to enter Earth's evolutions through the natural doors of birth. There
are also the chelas who have been chosen by the Karmic Board as possible
contributors to the progress of the race; there are the "candidates for the
Ascension" and there are the great multitudes who are called reluctantly from
the joys of life at Inner Levels to the rigorous experiences of an earthly
embodiment. These are all gathered together for the ceremony of the creation of
the Sacred Heart and the blessings of Mary's lifestream upon their new
pilgrimage! Also gathered here are the Masters (Sponsors) of those who are to
serve the Masters' Cause, when they attain maturity upon the Earth. In the heart
of each such Master is a sincere prayer that the vow taken and the enthusiasm
enjoyed by the individual in the free atmosphere of the Inner Realms, will be
sustained through the veil of birth and the long Earth life ahead! Pray, ye,
also for these!
SAINT GERMAIN:
When a Master is chosen to focus a Ray through the outer
consciousness of the people of Earth in any cycle, his responsibility is great
indeed. It is his obligation to secure the interest, support and voluntary
cooperation of as many of the souls at Inner Levels as he feels can assist him
by taking embodiment. After such persuasion, the Master himself takes the
obligatory karma of watching over such zealous volunteers and helping them in
every way to remember the Divine Plan, their individual offer to assist in
fulfilling it and to utilize their particular momentums toward that end. When
the Master has added the pressure of his persuasion to the Karmic Board to
choose one of his pupils rather than another gifted lifestream, in order to aid
in his particular Cause, then, particularly does the Master HOPE the chela will
live up to his glowing descriptions of what such a chela can and will do, if
given opportunity to embody! It is in this position that I stand! How many, who
have responded to the Cause of Freedom at Inner Levels, will manifest my faith
and trust in them? How many will return home with little harvest? For all, I
shall have to stand before the Karmic Board and explain their achievements or
lethargy as best I can. For these, pray!
