Rays of Spiritual Illumination

OBEDIENCE TO GOD'S WILL

BELOVED PAUL, THE MAHA CHOHAN 

Loving and willing Obedience to God's Will allows the Immortal Three-fold Flame within the heart opportunity to expand and externalize the particular portion of the Divine Plan which the Heavenly Father desires to externalize through each one of his children. Until the outer self honestly desires to co-operate with the Heavenly Father and allow him the full courtesy of externalizing that particular portion of the Divine Plan through such a one, the Divine Tapestry of God's Kingdom manifested here on Earth cannot be completed. 

The Brothers and Sisters of the Third Ray have dedicated their lives and services to nourishing the latent talents and gifts of all God's children century after century as they have had opportunity to re-embody again and again upon the Earth to fulfill their Divine Destiny. Now, as the Cosmic Hour is already upon us when such a Heavenly Kingdom is to be established quickly upon this sweet Earth under the direction of the Beloved Ascended Master Saint Germain, we are grateful indeed for the assistance of the entire Spiritual Hierarchy who are endeavoring to reach the outer consciousness of the chelas and to emphasize that loving Obedience to God's Holy Will will bring them Joy and Happiness individually and establish upon the Earth the Perfection which is now known only in the Ascended Masters' Octave. 

There are many sincere individuals who think that they want to know the WILL OF GOD and spend many lifetimes in pursuing various methods of study prescribed by their fellowmen in the vain hope of learning God's Will. Remember, beloved ones that the WILL OF GOD is to establish the Kingdom of Heaven upon the Earth through the expansion of PURE DIVINE LOVE! Surely when the outer consciousness becomes aware of this blessed Will of the Father-Mother God for his children, each individual will accurately measure those disciplines offered to him by the Ascended Host which will bring Love, Harmony, Peace, Balance and Joy to himself and to his fellowman. Then, through such an individual, the Holy Christ Self is allowed freedom to expand. The aura of such a one becomes a conductor of that Divine Will first into his own world, and then into the atmosphere about him.

Will is often confused with domination. Neither God nor we, his Representatives, ever attempt to dominate anyone! The chela himself must WANT to do God's Will and then ENJOY expressing that Will in every facet of his activities. He then truly becomes a happy, joyous, willing chela, and we can assist such a lifestream almost without limit in his personal, as well as planetary, endeavors toward the redemption of the unhappy and distressing karma, not only of himself, but of the entire human race. 

BELOVED NADA 

Through my own experiences, even before my Ascension, I learned that the generation and projection of Pure Divine Love to the Holy Christ Flame of any unascended lifestream caused that Flame to expand its Virtues, Gifts, Powers and Blessings through the outer personality. This service I rendered silently, with discrimination, under the direction of my beloved Guru, Charity, and the fruits of my application resulted in the harmonious expression of God's Holy Will through those to whom I was assigned to serve. The blessed chelas seeking also to help in freeing the Powers of the Holy Christ Selves of all mankind are humbly invited to ask me, as well as the Beloved Charity, to give to them our feeling of impersonal Divine Love to the Holy Christ Selves of the individuals in their immediate environment. Then such chelas, humbly and without spiritual pride, can and will enjoy the development of those talents and gifts through their associates. Thus the chelas become qualified to expand their services to a larger sphere of influence. Loving imprisoned life free is one of the greatest joys which can be experienced by any chela. The efficacy of such service and its ever-expanding radiation will be determined by the humility of the chela using the application and remaining silent when the fruits of his labors are manifest. Rejoice in the works well done, but never, under any pressures of a personal nature, reveal yourself as the instrument through which the Holy Will of God has been resuscitated and externalized, either through yourself or others. 

BELOVED SERAPIS BEY 

The subject of discipline is close to my Heart. For many ages, at the request of earnest students, I have examined their auras and provided for them those disciplines which I knew were necessary to enable them to master the energies of their four lower bodies. When these disciplines were provided in our Retreat, the chelas were at least somewhat prepared for them and endeavored, according to their own capacities, to utilize them in the overcoming of the habits and tendencies of their human nature. Thus they became conductors into the outer world of pure impersonal Divine Love. Even here at Luxor, however, many chelas have rebelled against such disciplines and have left the Retreat feeling unjustly and harshly treated. 

Now that the Dispensation of the New Age allows chelas the privilege of having our assistance while they are still living in the outer world, rebellion against such disciplines (which usually manifest through the ordinary experiences of daily life) is even more apparent. Let each dear chela know and remember that every experience of daily life is provided only for the express purpose of developing the Divine Nature which is the only true nature of every child of God. If rebellion, discouragement, discontent and soul-weariness are the fruits of such disciplines, we immediately discontinue them until such time as the soul is ready to truly enjoy co-operating with the Will of God - which is the expression of Perfection for all - individually and collectively. PERSEVERE! 

Obedience, like Order, is one of Heaven's first Laws. Every Divine Being follows the Laws of Obedience and Divine Order in the performance of their respective services to life. Unascended chelas, earnest and sincere though they may be, ofttimes rebel against obedience to a Higher Intelligence feeling that they are losing their sense of independence and the right to self expression. As Hierarch at Luxor, I have, for many centuries, learned the devious excuses of personalities who whole-heartedly desire the harvest of Spiritual Freedom yet cling tenaciously to those very personality traits which make such Freedom impossible to attain. There are disciplines which are kindly offered at Luxor wherein and whereby chelas can overcome these imperfections of character and attain a lasting Spiritual Freedom. However, few there be who are willing to apply the instruction given, abide within the disciplines set forth, and know the joy that comes in lovingly co-operating with their Teacher who leads them always Godward. 

Disciplines practiced for 'duty's sake' create inner rebellions in the soul and these chelas do not permanently profit thereby. Other chelas, knowing that by the use of these disciplines in loving co-operation with their Teacher are more quickly graduated into that Freedom to which all mankind aspire. Do not apply for entrance into the rigorous disciplines provided by the Brotherhood of Luxor if you seek only a palliative for personal discomfort and limitation. Such palliatives are NOT the gifts of Luxor. Our gift to the human race, imprisoned Angels and all imperfect elemental life is the permanent redemption of destructively qualified energy and the permanent release into the Freedom of the natural God Design for each kingdom, and at the close of each one's service upon this sweet Earth, the Ascension in the Light. Do not consider us inhospitable, but rather kindly in pointing out to you our particular curriculum, so that you may enter that Ascended Master Retreat which can best accommodate your requirements and your desires. 

BELOVED SAINT GERMAIN 

True inner joy comes to the individual when he voluntarily surrenders his personal will to the WILL OF GOD! Then nothing of the outer world can disturb him. Such was my experience before the Ascension and such was the experience of every Member of the Great White Brotherhood who has attained the Ascension from this or any other planet in this Universe. It is only the refusal of the outer self to surrender to God's Will that causes the Armageddon of the soul. It is my privilege to re-establish the Kingdom of Heaven - right here upon the Earth. 

Thus am I so eternally grateful to the Beloved Master El Morya and his Brotherhood for sustaining a Focus of God's Will on earth. As this Crystal Flame with a radiance of sapphire blue radiates through the emotional, mental, etheric and physical strata of Earth's atmosphere, its vibratory action and feeling are bound to be picked up by the more spiritually sensitive lifestreams still in embodiment here. They, in turn, will aid my Cause to make of Earth a Star of Freedom. 

To Beloved Hercules and Michael and Blessed Faith, keeping a Living Focus of GOODNESS OF GOD'S WILL upon Holy Amazon; to Beloved Lord I am so grateful indeed for the POSITIVE FEELING of the Earth and in its atmosphere! 

To the dear chelas who have offered to assist me, I am also most grateful. Today there is a more than ordinary current of added Spirituality flooding the atmosphere of Earth. ACCEPT it! USE it! Experience the JOY OF DOING GOD'S WILL!
