Oh, Thou Omnipresent First Cause, Creator of all there is, I bow in humility and gratitude for the love which, my blessed chelas do so lavishly bestow upon my lifestream, and in so doing upon thee, oh thou Supreme One. 

I wish particularly to take up the matter of treading wholeheartedly upon the Path of the Seventh Ray, for since that benefaction is flowing to the Earth and Her evolutions, and will continue to do so for the two thousand year period upon which we have embarked. The feeling of acceptance which is showing in the auras of the chelas, the blazing band of Violet which is enlarging in their Causal Bodies is evidence to The Spiritual Hierarchy that the chelas are finally accepting that this IS the AGE OF FREEDOM. 

Beloved Jesus and I have indulged in many a conversation about the transition which had to be made by the chelas, and by many has yet to be made, from the Sixth Ray of the Christian Dispensation into the Seventh Ray of the Age of Freedom. The result of one of these meetings was the Discourse the Master Jesus gave you and which has been published in the DECEMBER BRIDGE. Jesus said "I shall tell them to let go of the orthodoxy of the Sixth Ray - then perhaps they will listen. I shall use the momentum of my feeling during that two-thousand year period." To which I add - "Oh Father make their acceptance fruitful. 

From what we can see in the auras of the chelas, the transfer of what you might term allegiance is taking place. How can that be done when the Address has not yet appeared in print? Oh, dear ones, in the freedom of your finer bodies, without the grossness of the human consciousness, you are apprised of much that is, and has taken place, and then when the outer consciousness becomes aware of an Edict, so to speak, the intellect is more ready to accept that which is presented to it through the human senses. Of course you can see this! 

As beloved Jesus has told you, the Example of what He came to give was the VICTORY over so-called death - the manifestation of the Resurrection and the Ascension. 

Oh, the expenditure of energy which is released by the human race in the 'drive' to get things done for the Celebration of Christmas. Yes, the remembrance of the Birth of Jesus is a worthwhile celebration but in a great many instances the true celebration, the meaning, has been lost in the hustle and bustle of giving 'things' to one another instead of the blessing of Spiritual Giving, and the Feast Day has become a Merchants' Harvest, one could say, and truly. 

Honor the Beloved Jesus and His Holy Mother on that day, and think on Me if you so desire, but remember, and Jesus has asked Me to make this statement - there were many Avatars in Ages passed, and were the chelas to take the time to hold on to each Dispensation, we would fall far behind in bringing in the New Age of Freedom. The Lesson to remember, as you know, is the Victory of the Resurrection and Ascension.  

Oh yes, there are some die-hards as you would call them, among the chelas and when the Final Christmas Class of THE BRIDGE TO FREEDOM is held this year, they will permit themselves to indulge in - "oh me, too bad, Dear Jesus' rejection" thoughts. I say - off with the cloak of the Old and on with the New! Those who wish to march with me and carry my Banner as Wayshowers in the Age of Freedom cannot permit any of this nonsense! From the acceptance in the feelings and the training which they have had at inner levels, they will feel the rejoicing, the upliftment in their beings as they get off their vintage bicycles and step into vehicles of more advanced design! There is a straight, and I shall add steep, line direct into the Heart of Spiritual Freedom for those who wish to take this perhaps more arduous road, arduous only until you can accept and practice the Teachings of the Seventh Ray of Freedom which are and will be presented to you for your Spiritual Guidance. 

Oh, the Faith which I have in my chelas is such a comforting and beautiful feeling - a buoyancy which gives me encouragement as it is necessary and requisite that we reach through to the chelas and impregnate their beings with the requirement of the hour. 

I trust that when it shall be my privilege to Address you at the Class set aside for the closing (in the chelas feelings) of the Christmas Celebration as heretofore, that you each will be ready to receive of the Gifts, and this time those of a lasting Spiritual Nature, which will be ready and waiting for your acceptance. 

Oh, my beloved Friends, as I use that word so dear and meaningful to, my Heart, I feel I can count on you to outpicture the real feeling embodied in the term "Friend" for it is one of en­dearment which has meant so much to Me through the Ages, and one which with each ensuing hour blazes forth the Momentum of Pure Divine Love, of Gratitude, which it is My privilege, through understanding of its significance and the endowed Gift of the Father-Mother God. As I address you thus, I lavishly pour forth and enfold you each in the Mantle of True Friendship, My heart embracing yours, yours Mine, and in so do­ing, the resultant expansion honoring the One Supreme Source of All Life. 

God bless you, dear ones,  

"I AM" Your Friend, Saint Germain
