THE GREATEST CREATIVE POWER

Rays of Spiritual Illumination

Love should not be qualified with sentimentality, which is changing and vacillating. Pure Divine Love is changeless and constant. It is the one Virtue of the Universal "I AM" Presence, into which all the other Virtues blend. It is the very highest expression of the Nature of God and in time will be the highest expression of man also. Divine Love, unlike human love, is not grasping but giving; is not variable but constant. This feeling and substance of Divine Love is the cause and core of all creation, as well as the sustenance of such creation, and when that creation has served its purpose for being, its ultimate etherealization in dignity and honor is accomplished by that same Divine Love. One focus of that Divine Love is your own "I AM" Presence, and such a Presence is also anchored within the heart of everyone. Expression and expansion of this Divine Love upon and through the planes of experience in which a self-conscious intelligence lives, is truly the 'reason for being' of such intelligence. Until that full expression of the Nature of God is so made manifest, there can be no expansion of Divine Love; there can be no complete understanding in the hearts of mankind for the needs of his fellowman; there can be no permanent individual, national, racial or planetary peace.

Divine Love is a natural activity of the expansion of good. As far up the Ladder of Spiritual Evolution as we can see, there is a constant expansion of the Light, Virtues and Gifts of God through every Divine Being who has been created and sustained by that Divine Love and who has cognized that Love, utilizing it to do the will of the Being who has created and sustained him or her.

In unascended mankind, the same law holds true. If an individual has a gift or talent and uses it to expand happiness and beauty for life, he is the greatest beneficiary of the expression of his own gift. If so used, his talent expands, matures and generally develops. If, however, he selfishly grasps the gift and, through a process of inversion, seeks to hold it to himself for personal gain or pleasure, he is either temporarily deprived of the use of that gift or talent, or temporarily he is deprived of the opportunity to use it in the Sphere in which he presently functions.

The measure of the individual's use of talent, money, power and opportunity lies in the use to which he puts them. If he uses those gifts as God and the Divine Beings do, to expand the blessings of Light, Comfort, Happiness and greater Perfection in his Sphere of influence and the worlds of others, he will prosper. However, through his use of freewill, if he chooses to use such a gift for personal aggrandizement or gain, the forces of disintegration and decay will teach him the lesson which Jesus taught so forcibly: To him that hath shall be given" (to him that has the understanding of how to use them, more substance, power and talent shall be given him); "to him that hath not, shall be taken away even that which he hath" (from him who has not the understanding of how to use life impersonally to bless others, shall be taken away that which he already has). We use our consciousness and understanding to expand God's Kingdom through the mankind of Earth. This is the activity of the Third Ray. We welcome all who choose to join us in expanding their gifts, talents and powers as God intends and invite them to join us in the glorious expansion of the Kingdom of God right here on Earth!

Beloved Maha Chohan

It was the desire to express Divine Love which caused the Universal "I AM" Presence to create Sons and Daughters through whom to pour the Love and the Life of his own Being, and endow such Sons and Daughters with his gift of the use of freewill. It is that same Love which, since such creation, has continued to sustain these intelligences and to believe in their ultimate expression of his nature. Serving mankind, who for the most part have forgotten their Creator, we live but to bring to man the remembrance of the Love of God for all his creations and to awaken a feeling of that Love in the human hearts wherein the Divine Love of the Universal "I AM" Presence dwells.

Divine Love is a cohesive power which magnetizes pure electronic light; causes it to rhythmically move around its own central core and thus creates an atom, the coalition of many of which may be used to form a vehicle through which mankind can express itself, a nation, a continent or even a planet itself. When the Divine Love that is projected forth by the "I AM" Presence is removed from any creation, human forms or so called inanimate objects that form then begins to disintegrate because the cohesive power of Divine Love which held it together is no longer present. Therefore, in conscious precipitation, the development of impersonal Divine Love is most essential to sustain the precipitation. Unascended mankind's comprehension of Divine Love is a travesty as measured against the true Divine Love of God. Hence man's own physical body, as well as his creation of great civilizations are subject to decline and decay. Why? Because the cohesive power of Love, while it may create temporary form, has not the sustaining power to hold that form until it has served its full purpose. Disintegration, disease, decay and death itself are the greatest proof on Earth today that Divine Love was not the cause and core of the creation. Thus the creation was transitory and subject to the disintegration to forces within and without the individual who had drawn such manifestation forth.

Etherealization (returning of the substance of form to the Universal) is also an aspect of Divine Love used by the Ascended Masters, Cosmic Beings and Angelic Host. We consider the life and gifts of God so precious, that we would not dream of utilizing that life in any sphere longer than is required to sustain some blessing to the Universe. Divine Love utilizes intelligent life to create form as a radiating center through which to bless the Universe. When that blessing is completed, we love life enough to give it Freedom (etherealizing it) so that it can be returned to the Sun of the System for re-polarization and, at a later time, be used again by another intelligence for some other form which may be necessary to the requirements of the Cosmic Hour. Giving - not grasping - is the Law of the Universal "I AM" Presence, and it is the Law of our Being as well. Sometimes the wisdom of the Law requires that we either withhold or withdraw a gift from some lifestream in order to teach that one a lesson; for even a temporary absence of the possession of such a gift often awakens the individual to the true worth of its blessing which had been given in love for service to others; sustained by that love; and offered through that love only to enrich the collective consciousness of the race. Such etherealization is an opportunity for spiritual expansion through the development of a conscious appreciation of the worth of the gift or talent which had been too casually received and absorbed either by individual lifestreams or the race as a whole. Etherealization is a conscious activity of Divinity, and must not be confused with disintegration and decay.

Beloved Serapis Bey

Divine Love is a Science. Every manifestation, from the smallest form to the greatest Solar System, is built on the cohesive power of Divine Love. When great Golden Ages have come into manifestation upon the planet Earth, they were literally born through the Love of Beings who chose - voluntarily - to create as God creates. These Golden Ages have been sustained just as long as some being held the feeling of Divine Love for the creation. This feeling was the cohesive power which held the form; the expanding power which increased its beauty and the etherealizing power which withdrew the manifestation when it was no longer required to remain upon any plane of existence. Inhuman experience when there is more or less of Divine Love expressed in the creation of a home, a family, or a business - when the one who is the focus for the cohesive power of such a cooperative endeavor relinquishes this cohesive power (through death or otherwise), disintegration of the manifestation occurs. In spiritual organizations, when the Founder - spurred on by Divine Love to make the supreme effort to establish and sustain such an organization, leaves the Earth plane, unless there be another who can be found who will hold that focus of Divine Love and expand it, then the organization itself disintegrates and is no more. This was the Law which Beloved Jesus took into consideration in asking his Mother Mary to sustain his Love by remaining on Earth After his Ascension, until there was enough magnetized and radiated Divine Love to sustain the Christian Dispensation for two thousand years! Similarly, the Visitation of Lord Gautama yearly at the Festival of Wesak was designed to stimulate and expand the Divine Love which he had magnetized and sustained in his Earth life. All Beings who so design a blessing for the benefaction of the race, seek unascended beings to be for them truly 'the body of Christ' through which Divine Love may flow. If such are not found, the beautiful Teachings and accompanying Grace gradually recede and the benefactions established by the Founder etherealize into finer Realms beyond the ken of human mind.

Beloved Hilarion

"The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away" is an eternal verity. However, unascended beings consider this verity as a punishment; whereas it is rather a blessing to make the outer consciousness cognizant of the value of the gift, the Giver and the benefaction received. The word 'Lord', of course, means the 'Law of God' which is inexorable, impersonal and unchanging. Even I, when my compassion for my disciples caused me to hesitate for a moment to leave them, could not change this Law. I knew full well that the conscious etherealization of my form was necessary in order for my followers to develop their own Christ Nature. Yet, knowing their natures, I did apply for Mercy, and the Lord Maha Chohan promised to give them Comfort and expansion of consciousness after my Ascension (conscious etherealization of my outer 'form'). This promise he fulfilled in the Visitation of the Holy Spirit to them on Whitsuntide. Thus, all unascended beings may call for a Mediator, a Comforter, if the Law requires that they come 'Home' so that their people shall not be left comfortless. I admonish every earnest Teacher and Guru to make such an application NOW!

Beloved Jesus

Golden Ages have come and gone wherein the masses of mankind enjoyed the developed gifts, powers and radiation of Beautiful Ascended Beings. However, the masses, accepting such gifts as a matter of course, made it necessary for their Benefactors to withdraw their spiritual support, and mankind then found the beauty of that Golden Age fading until it disappeared. It is now my opportunity to help to awaken the consciousness of all mankind to a point where a permanent Golden Age can and shall be established upon this Earth and sustained, not only by my enthusiasm and endeavor, but by the energy of the awakened people. Thus the blessings and manifest beauty of the permanent Golden Age will be sustained by those who enjoy its glorious perfection; long after the few who envisioned its inception and sustained it by Divine Love have gone to their Eternal Reward. When this awakening is accomplished, the Law will not require etherealization here, for the people themselves will prove that they are worthy to enjoy a permanent Kingdom of Heaven manifest on Earth. We are presently engaged in such awakening of the outer consciousness of mankind. The chelas now embodied are charged with the responsibility of awakening their fellowman to these truths. Thus is the Golden Age built and thus will it be sustained.

Divine Love seeks ALWAYS to encourage and develop the good in any part of life - human, elemental or the four-footed creatures. When this Divine Love is truly the motive behind ALL activities, good responds and expresses through the life so loved. Saint Francis of Assisi was an example of the expression of that Divine Love and even the beasts of the fields feeling his Love for them responded with the best expression of good intent of which they were capable. You, in serving mankind, can render a Cosmic Service in LOVING the good in every man - you may not even know his name - his race or his country. Divine Love knows no barrier - has no periphery. To generate and send forth that Divine Love until it is world engulfing is to stimulate the God centers in mankind which, responding to that spiritually fecundating power, will begin to expand in and through the emotional, mental, etheric and physical vehicles of the race. Thus you are expanding the Light of the World through the shriveled souls of men:
