INNER AND EXTERNALIZED CONSCIOUSNESS
By the Ascended Master El Morya
The physical appearance world and everything in manifestation is but externalized consciousness. That is self-evident and has been explained to you in detail by the Masters of Wisdom.
Your own bodies and every experience in your daily lives are but the externalization of the consciousness of some lifestream in your environment.
Your consciousness has been built for hundreds of thousands of centuries of living, and thought and feeling patterns have been set up, many of which your outer self has never been cognizant of. These thought and feeling patterns are constantly moving currents of energy which are like river beds and the perfect energy released from the Godhead flows naturally along the course of these thought and feeling patterns because of the momentum they have built in these many embodiments. Now, these thought and feeling patterns, conscious and unconscious represent the inner consciousness of every lifestream and constitute the nature of the personal self, and by the nature of their being, they constitute the outer experience of every lifestream.
We reiterate then, that whatever is in the consciousness, known or unknown, is externalized as the experience of the lifestream, so that the thought and feeling patterns which constitute the inner consciousness continue embodiment after embodiment to form the external experience through which the lifestream passes, again and again.
The spiritual Hierarchy deals only with consciousness
The Spiritual Hierarchy and all Beings directly concerned with the evolution of the race deal only with consciousness, knowing that effect always follows cause.
The Lords of Karma determine the percentage of consciousness to be externalized
The Lords of Karma, therefore, looking at the consciousness of the soul, allow only a certain percentage of that consciousness to be externalized in each life, holding back through mercy the externalization of more than the lifestream can bear.
As you press tooth paste from a tube in the proportion you desire for the operation, so is the pressure of the cosmic law which externalizes in each lifestream's experience a percentage of that lifestream's inner consciousness.
With the increased pressure of the cosmic light and the acceleration of the evolution of the planet, there is a much greater pressure upon the inner consciousness of all souls belonging to this system and the externalization of a greater percentage of their inner iniquities naturally follows.
You must drastically change your inner nature
The import of my message today is to convey to the intellects of all the students that they will never be free of the externalized evil until they make a drastic change in their inner nature, because the inner consciousness must become absolutely free from the ability to entertain or recognize imperfection in thought and feeling, and when the Cup is clean within, the appearance world will automatically manifest only the perfection that fills the inner consciousness.
Distress is the effect of uncontrolled thought and feeling
People cannot go on in their uncontrolled thinking and feeling and not have those thoughts and feelings externalize as distress. You can dam up feeling by means of the outer will, but while they are entertained within as a seething uncontrolled, the cause - though hidden - perhaps from the world, will externalize as an effect as truly as the sun reflected on the water emits a certain radiance of Light.
Invoke the Ascended Masters' Light into your consciousness
This is more important than people have realized, because a person's consciousness is always under the control of the individual's lifestream, and even the Ascended Masters cannot intrude their Light into the recesses of the human consciousness unless invited, but the invocation of the Ascended Masters' Light into an individual's consciousness will bring great illumination to the mind and great assistance in clearing out the filth of centuries.
Your inner nature must be changed in thought and feeling
The people who are to advance spiritually have to change in their inner nature, and neither suppression nor intellectual knowledge brings release.
The world of consciousness is the world of thought and feeling, and in this secret and sacred place man must be completely honest and if so his externalization will prove his sincerity.
