Rays of Spiritual Illumination

"On Re-embodiment"

In the beginning, the individualized "I AM" Presence consciously projected a portion of itself into the physical appearance world in order to expand the perfection and beauty of the Kingdom of Heaven upon the planet Earth! The centripetal power of the Immortal Three-fold Flame around which the physical body was fashioned, is often called the power of pure Divine Love. From the natural elements found in and around the planet Earth, the Builders of Form, together with the Holy Christ Self, built the physical body, as much like the Divine Image (the individual "I AM" Presence) as possible. Then began the long journey which, through free-will, caused distortions in the physical body and its attendant vehicles (mental, emotional and etheric). Man today stands at the point where his own use of life has placed him. Some few desire within their hearts to return to their Divine Estate and assume their Divine Heritage as Sons and Daughters of the Kingdom. This requires that they learn the lessons provided for them in the schoolroom of life in which they have fitted themselves to dwell (Earth). Thus birth upon the planet Earth is such an opportunity to learn those lessons which result in personal mastery of thought, feeling, spoken word and action. It was my joy to give to each such a one the breath of life at the beginning of each embodiment, and to gently take the last breath from the lungs at the close of that embodiment!!

Of the chelas and students of the Masters who volunteer to renounce the joy of staying in the Inner Levels in order to assist a Cosmic Activity, I would speak. When the soul has completed one embodiment, the emotions, the mental body, the etheric body are often weary with the experiences obtained in serving life. The purpose of re-call to the Heaven Realms is primarily to allow such individuals to rest and recharge their inner vehicles, as well as to utilize the instructions of the Masters and the activities of purification in the Temples so they may reembody with greater strength and spiritual vitality. Those who know the requirements of Earth at this time, often relinquish this period of spiritual revitalization, offering to embody almost immediately to help a Cosmic Cause. They also require prayers and blessings for, if they are among those chosen for such rapid re-embodiment, they will have to work through their lower inner vehicles already wearied by the discordant experiences of the past embodiment and this restriction will hinder, to some degree, the service to which they are dedicated. It is just as though a man, in an emergency, works through his natural night of rest, rather than availing himself of the refreshing hours of sleep and then must spend the next day at his usual tasks.

Beloved Maha Chohan 

There are billions of individuals whose past utilization of energy has qualified them to learn the use of life upon the planet Earth. These individuals must await the summons of the Karmic Board, once each year in the month of May. There from a great number of individuals, who are destined by law in justice and mercy to embody, are chosen those who will be privileged to enter the activities of Earth life in the next twelve months. The souls thus summoned can be placed in several categories. Some are those who have spent sufficient time at Inner Levels to have learned something of their past errors, and are to be given opportunity to use their new-found wisdom in a new Earth life. Some are those who are reluctant to leave the pleasures of the Inner Levels and take upon themselves the 'yoke' of their own karma. Some are the chelas and students of the Masters who have volunteered to help in a vital world hour.

Beloved El Morya 

The balance of the mass karma of the planet Earth is such that the Lords of Karma must watch very carefully that not too many with heavy destructive personal karmas are admitted as temporary citizens upon the Earth until an equal number with like karma are removed through the natural means of so-called 'death'. Therefore, the more purification, illumination, understanding and instruction which can be given the soul between Earth lives makes the 'mass karma' of the incoming children less in proportion to that of those leaving the Earth through so-called 'death'. The establishment of schools, temples and institutions of learning at Inner Levels has done much to assist in this personal purification, preparatory to such re-embodiment. Of course, through freewill, all souls do not avail themselves of the opportunities afforded them to purify and illumine themselves at the feet of the Masters. The impersonal mercy of the Law does require, however, that after the passage of a certain time, some of the souls who have been at Inner Levels must re-embody. These form the saddest of souls who stand before the Karmic Board, for they know something of what awaits them after birth on Earth. For them, dear students, I ask that you sincerely pray!

Beloved Kuthumi 

Among those choosing to join the applicants for re-embodiment, there are always those who hope to complete their journey upon the Earth in the ultimate sublimation of self. They are marked as Candidates for the Ascension and come under the direction and supervision of the Brotherhood at Luxor. It becomes our responsibility and obligation to provide the necessary experiences in the Earth life which will cause them to sublimate the baser tendencies of human nature and impersonally serve the race so that they can complete their service on the Earth and enjoy the Victory of the Ascension. Unfortunately, however, many forget that they have applied for rigorous self-discipline and find the experiences discouraging and distasteful.

Beloved Serapis Bey 

The exact activity of the Cosmic Law is a comfort to those who have seen it in action! For each individual (chela or student) who applies for re-embodiment, two other chelas or students must be denied that opportunity during a twelve month cycle. The entire chart of evolution is studied; the Cosmic Activity which forms the heart of the progress of the race is taken into consideration, and then the Causal Body of the individual is studied, to see what merits, momentums, powers and capacities such a one can offer to assist in the world scheme. For each chela who is given an opportunity to embody, two other fine and oft-times more developed life-streams must wait for another year for opportunity to take an Earth body. Thus, the chela who secures such an opportunity should not take it lightly but press forward upon The Path, contributing as best he knows how, to the Light of the World and the happiness and progress of his fellow man.

Beloved Hilarion 

In the month of May, at my Mother's Temple of the Sacred Heart, it is a beautiful sight indeed to see all the souls gathering together to be blessed. These are those destined to take embodiment on the Earth during the next twelve months. She herself takes the very substance that the soul has qualified through the ages and fashions the chalice (Sacred Heart) from the purest of that substance in which the Immortal Threefold Flame of that lifestream will function in the physical world. There are beautiful free Spirits from other planets who volunteer to enter Earth's evolutions through the natural doors of birth. There are also the chelas who have been chosen by the Karmic Board as possible contributors to the progress of the race; there are the 'Candidates for the Ascension' and there are the great multitudes who are called reluctantly from the joys of life at Inner Levels to the rigorous experiences of an earthly embodiment. These are all gathered together for the ceremony of the creation of the Sacred Heart and the many blessings of Mary's lifestream upon their new pilgrimage! Also gathered here are the Masters (Sponsors) of those who are to serve the Masters' Cause, when they attain maturity upon the Earth. In the heart of each such Master is a sincere prayer that the vow taken and the enthusiasm enjoyed by the individual in the free atmosphere of the Inner Realms will be sustained through the veil of birth and the long Earth life ahead! Pray, ye, also for these!

Beloved Jesus 

When a Master is chosen to focus a Ray through the outer consciousness of the people of Earth in any cycle, his responsibility is great indeed. It is his obligation to secure the interest, support and voluntary co-operation of as many of the souls at Inner Levels as he feels can assist him by taking embodiment. After such persuasion, the Master himself takes the obligatory karma of watching over such zealous volunteers and helping them in every way to remember the Divine Plan, their individual offer to assist in fulfilling it and to utilize their particular momentums toward that end. When the Master has added the pressure of his persuasion to the Karmic Board to choose one of his pupils rather than another gifted lifestream, in order to aid in his particular Cause, then, particularly does the Master hope the chela will live up to his glowing descriptions of what such a chela can and will do, if given opportunity to embody! It is in this position that I stand! How many, who have responded to the Cause of Freedom at Inner Levels, will manifest my faith and trust in them? How many will return home with little harvest? For all, I shall have to stand before the Karmic Board and explain their achievements or lethargy as best I can. For these, pray!
