Listening Grace

Beloved Kuthumi

Faithful children, whose search for Truth has brought you to the feet of the Master, I wish to bring to your attention at this time that Truth lies within the Silence, that state of Peace which is the result of turning inward and listening to the Voice of the Presence. 

In order to attain this state of 'listening Grace' one must purify his lower vehicles. 

I consider it a great opportunity to have these words brought to your consciousness at the time when the Radiation of the Retreat of Lord Zadkiel and Holy Amethyst is intensified, August 15 through September 11. This Focus, as you are aware, is open throughout the year of Nineteen Hundred Sixty-five, but when the attention of the chelas is specifically directed there through the Cosmic Rhythmic Release of the Transmission of the Flame Ceremony, your opportunity is tremendous to purify your lower vehicles, as well as those of all mankind. 

To proceed upon the Path to the Way of the Silence, the stillness is not a condition of being mute. Far from that! It is the silencing of the outer so that the Presence of God Which is always waiting to act can render its perfect Service through you. 

You are in the world of form to act as conductors of the Gifts of the Father-Mother God into the consciousness and worlds of those not yet so blessed as you as to receive direct communication from your Spiritually Illumined Brothers and Sisters who have advanced to the state of being the Presence of God in action at all times. 

My Sojourn in Assisi 

Forgive the personal reference, but when I answered the urgent call of the Christ within my heart in those early days in Assisi, think you it was easy for me to change my way of living. Indeed not! I had drunk deeply of the pleasures of the outer world and the process of loosening the chains of those vibrations which were shackling the pure Radiation of the Indwelling Presence was no easy matter. My soul was 'sick unto death, but to proceed into the State of Life Everlasting was a pressure within my being which could not be denied. 

Behind the chronicles of the revered life of Saint Francis of Assisi stood a man, who wore a flesh garment, subject to the snares and wickedness of the world of form. All glory to the day when I realized that the Presence of God was waiting, waiting for me to surrender my ALL upon the Altar of Pure Divine Love. How blissful is the state, my friends, when knowing that all the pleasures and ways of the outer world are not worth a jot or tittle, you bend the knee in obeisance to the Will of God. 

To be our Emissaries  

Now, one cannot truly hear the voice of the Silence and follow its directives in the conduct of one's life in serving as our Emissaries upon the Planet Earth until the purification of the lower vehicles has taken place. Yes, one can and does serve before intensive purification has taken place, but until complete surrender is made, the many voices of the lower vehicles, having had their way through centuries of living on the Earth seek to intrude, such service is limited. 

Great is your opportunity to purify your vehicles during this year, but at the specific time when the Retreat of Lord Zadkiel and Holy Amethyst is honored, the Violet Fire of Mercy and Compassion is released in intensified action, and wise is the chela who takes advantage of this mighty Purifying Process, using it for himself and for mankind en masse! 

The Acceptance of the God Power  

When one tastes of the 'elixir' of Spirit and honors the Presence of God within, and accepts the God Power as a Reality in his own consciousness, then he becomes equipped to teach others. Limitless is the Power of the Presence, capable of handling any situation, be the distress of body, mind or soul of one individual or the whole Planet. The chela's service should be rendered through a knowledgeable consciousness that the God Principle can and does serve through him, as he keeps himself in a State of Grace. Then when the Pure Essence of Divinity flows through him, it is not diluted or dissipated through the greedy lower vehicles who formerly had their own way. All these unseen vehicles, whether they like to admit it or not, realize that they are really more comfortable when following the Plan as set forth for them when they emerged into this world of form. You know the calming and blissful feeling, or this should be your state of being, which flows through your physical vehicle after you have read the word of the Master and felt the release of the Radiation of his Ray. Not only does the physical vehicle go through this experience but the three others as well. Glory to the Omnipotent First Cause when there is no further warring in the lower self, and surrender to the Divine Self is complete. 

Children of God, I cannot emphasize too powerfully the Beauty of Service which can be yours when you have attained that state of consciousness and being. I, who have trod the same way, long for this Perfection for you. Be not dismayed, you are on the threshold of that Peace which passeth the understanding, and as World Teacher with Beloved Jesus, I would like to add that we both daily send up a prayer on your behalf. Speed that time of full resignation to the Will of God and Peace is the order of the day for you, and for all men! 

Recognize only Perfection 

One must train himself hourly to recognize and be Perfection. The average individual's consciousness is filled with so much debris that the chela must guard himself so he does not permit criticism to enter in, when having released much energy on another’s behalf and does not see the outpicturing of the pure consciousness for which he has been calling. Should you encounter experiences such as this, remember the unwavering patience of the Christ Self within, waiting for YOU to be the expression of itself. The requirement of the hour is to reunite the human consciousness with the Divine. When the inner vehicles are filled with the Christ Consciousness, the outer self as a result will be the outpicturing of that Oneness with the Presence of God within. 

There are no borders of limitation on God's Consciousness, the acceptance of which is governed by the vibratory action of the individual aspiring to be God-in-Action at all times. 

As you strive for that exalted and rewarding state of being, remember it is only the yet to be purified inner vehicles which intrude. In making your calls for other unascended mankind, after you have centered yourself and become aware that the little self has nothing to do with the outpicturing of Perfection, but that the Christ within IS the Directing Intelligence, then appeal to the Christ in the other individual or individuals to take over, then you will not dissipate the Pure Essence of Divinity on unfertile ground. Hold the Immaculate Concept for all life, and in so doing, BECOME that Perfection. 

Raise the Chalice of your being to the outpouring of Divinity, yours and mine, in Perfection there is ONENESS, and experience the freedom and beauty of serving with us for the purification of this Planet and all life thereon. 

"I AM" your Teacher and Friend, Kuthumi
