Joyous Obedience in the performance of God's Holy Will seems so difficult for the outer mind to grasp. Yet, it is the KEY TO FREEDOM! Disobedience to the Will of God has been the cause of every limitation experienced by mankind and all the evolutions living in, upon, or in the atmosphere of earth. Every direction and instruction that will ever come from your own "I AM" Presence or from any of the Great White Brotherhood WILL FREE YOU (if conscientiously applied) from the CAUSES and CORES of the distresses which limit and bind the outer self. The suggestions to the outer self which have come from the lower nature caused disobedience to the Divine Plan in the first place. The very word 'obedience' causes the feelings of some people to bristle. Let me point out to you, dear chelas, that you are required only to give obedience to your own Holy Christ Self and to the Ascended Host of Light who have become ONE with the Perfection of your own "I AM" Presence, in order to be able to free yourselves from the manifested results of the seeds of disobedience which have been sown by you in the past. This God-Obedience is an individual surrender of the outer self to that Divine "I AM" Presence and an acceptance of and loving co-operation with the directions of that Presence by the outer mind. This then allows the "I AM" Presence to begin to externalize that one's Divine Plan. 

Naturally I can see into the auras of all chelas, and among the most earnest of these, I often see them flinch at the idea of giving obedience to the Law of Love. After all, obedience to God is only loving co-operation with GOOD! Such obedience is wholly a self-conscious voluntary activity entered into by the chela wherein and whereby he learns to master the energies of his emotional, mental, etheric and physical vehicles. The presenting of the idea of the need for obedience is never an attempt to intrude upon the free will of the lifestream. WE NEVER INTRUDE! We come only at your invitation!
