THE RAY OF WISDOM
By the Ascended Master Kuthumi
The Ray of Wisdom, of which I am but one facet, is little interested in the world of man. It does not deal with knowledge, which is an accretion of intellectual facts, nor mental genius. True Wisdom comes from facing the Sun within, and drawing forth the conscious realization that all reality, Truth, Beauty and Understanding may be found within the Flame of one's own heart! By listening to the Voice of the Silence in humble and silent reverence without mental concepts or emotional restraints, one becomes imbued with Wisdom. The wiser one becomes, the more silent is his tongue; the more peaceful his emotional world; and the less thinking he does with the brain.
This is the Second Person of the Trinity referred to as the Son, although this is often taken as a parental-child relationship. Its inner significance is Sun and when you really know that the only reality is this SUN, the world of maya can no longer touch you. This is the Path of Wisdom; the period of listening and waiting that signifies the cross-legged Buddha resting from the arduous climb on the Ray of Strength and Purity.
Outwardly it will be a period which, in comparison to your struggle, will seem peaceful, quiet and serene, for you are not tested in strength now but in patience inwardly. However, let me warn you that it is one of the most difficult steps on the Path, for until you can hear the Voice of the Silence, you are running on the periphery of Life, shouting with the multitude the hollow hosannas that resound nowhere but in your own ears.
You will find me, perhaps, a gentle and lenient Master because the Way of the Silence cannot be forced, but let not my gentleness deceive you, for beneath it is the "rod of iron". The Blessing of Lord Divino previous Lord Maitreya, rest upon you and I shall endeavor to visit you often this year.

Great God Meru from your great mountain height,
Blaze on us now your love and your light,

Until our Earth its Victory can sing.
