PURITY OF PERFECTION
The Will of God is that every lifestream belonging to Earth's evolutions and all its Guardian Spirits return to the pure, Divine Pattern in which they were originally designed and from which they voluntarily departed, gradually descending in consciousness into a state of great impurity. Most of mankind has even forgotten what they are supposed to be! Therefore, it is essential to keep before mankind a constant reminder of the Divine Image in which they were made, until the outer mind and feelings can accept that Divine Pattern of God-perfection. Then, truly, they begin the self-conscious task of returning to that Pattern, expressing it as Beloved Jesus did - right here in the physical appearance world for the encouragement, upliftment and blessing of all life!
Beloved El Morya
It is well nigh impossible to express perfection unless one has a pattern or design to follow! That design was provided when the Godhead created man in his own Image and Likeness. The service of the Second Ray is to remove the clouds that obscure the Divine Image and allow man to see, know and accept that Image. Then, through whatever applications are best suited to the individual, he must endeavor to re-create that Divine Image through his emotional, mental, etheric and physical vehicles. To this end, the Brothers of the Golden Robe, under the direction of the World Teacher, study the evolution of each lifestream who professes a desire to return to his or her God Estate. Then a course of study and application is provided for such an one to see if the desire is to be coupled with endeavor, There are many wishful thinkers who enjoy contemplating a Kingdom of Heaven on Earth but there are not so many who wish to start with themselves in establishing a manifest example of the Divine Pattern here on Earth.

At Luxor is provided the Retreat where the chelas are allowed opportunity to purify their four lower bodies. Here, if the chela is strong enough, humble enough, constant enough and faithful enough, the disciplines, applications and necessary instructions are given by which the chela can and does sublimate the impure energies in the four lower bodies, which purification then manifests through the physical form as self-luminosity. Let me warn the chela that, it is the inner bodies wherein the causes and cores of most distress lie. These inner bodies require purification even more than the physical vehicle, for that is but a depository of all thought, feeling, spoken word and deed - the individual's present use of life and the memory of past expressions of such use of life during his long life course. Many an ascetic, crucifying the flesh vehicle with abstinences, only builds up a "spiritual pride' in such practices; while the cause and core of impurity lies like a coiled serpent waiting to spring forth at any moment and destroy his so-called advancement. The Beloved Astraea has offered to remove the cause and core of all known and unknown impurities in the lifestream, back unto the beginning of time. Wise is the man who invokes her, does not fear her and accepts her service.
Beloved Astraea, until recently, was not known outside the Ascended Masters Retreats but I assure you all who enter Luxor utilize her service if they remain. When the cause and core of impurity are wiped from the human veil and allow the outer consciousness to see and know his own "I AM" Presence, once the individual has looked upon It and seen what he can again become, he seldom slips back into the soul-sleep of the ages. Then he continues in his endeavor to express the perfection of that "I AM" Presence on Earth, where he has been ordained by life to serve.
Beloved Serapis Bey
Purity is a dual expression of feeling. First, it is a positive desire to express and be that which the Godhead desires one to be; second, it is a state of "listening grace" to accept the directions of the individualized "I AM" Presence and the Masters who desire to help such an one. Sincerity alone is not sufficient to express Divine Purity. There are many etheric records in a soul who has lived for many ages of time. These will often prod the individual to courses of action which are sincere in motive but yet impede the progress of the Divine Plan. Wise is the chela who invokes the assistance of the Divine Beings who can help him to know, feel and express his own Divine Plan, rather than emphasizing what, to his limited consciousness, is the right thing to do!
Beloved Hilarion
Truth and Purity are almost synonymous so far as manifesting the Divine Pattern of the Godhead is concerned. Before taking embodiment it is quite easy to see, cognize, accept and desire to cooperate with the Divine Plan. Thus, so many volunteers embody with zeal and enthusiasm, determined within themselves to forward the evolution of the race. Destructive karma and personal impurities, however, often impel such dear ones to distort the vision and design when once they are embodied and placed in a position wherein they may be of real assistance to the Father and his Spiritual Brotherhood. Now we are embarked in a World Endeavor to remove from those who really desire to serve God, the causes and cores of those impurities accumulated through the ages. Then the Victorious outer manifestation of the Divine Plan to which they have dedicated themselves at Inner Levels, will be expressed more quickly and God's Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven!
Beloved Jesus
One of the great activities provided by the Cosmic Law of Mercy and Love to purify the inner and outer vehicles of mankind is the Violet Fire of Mercy and Sublimation. It is my honor to assist any sincere chela to use this Violet Fire if they will ask for it! The Violet Fire is a natural element (invisible to most) but nevertheless powerful in purifying the substance that the individual has drawn into the forcefields of the electrons which make up the atoms of the four lower bodies. Please invoke its use. I shall help you!
