IN GOD WE TRUST

The nature of God is good! Therefore, it is his Will, Desire and Eternal Decree that all his creations express that goodness in every facet of their experience and in any sphere or plane in which they are fitted to dwell. The strength of the Spiritual Hierarchy of Ascended Beings lies in their full acceptance and Trust in God's Holy Will as being beneficent, loving, merciful and always endeavoring to externalize Perfection through all his creations. 

The weakness of the outer consciousness of mankind lies in the fact that, through centuries of living in the forgetfulness of the true nature of their Divine Source, they have assumed the Will of God to include for them unpleasant and distressing experiences and every type of chastening of the soul - expressed as punishment for human mistakes, consciously made or otherwise. In Truth, such is not the case, and it is now the desire of the Beloved God of the Universe, that mankind comes again into a conscious acceptance of God's goodness, as well as his desire for Perfection to act to, for and through them individually and en masse. It is the fiat issued by the Spiritual Hierarchy that mankind shall accept and feel, as we do, that 'IN GOD WE TRUST'. 

The Maha Chohan:

It is in the inherent God-power within the Holy Christ Self of each individual (anchored right within each one's beating heart) that we place our Faith and Trust for the expansion and development of their ultimate spiritual victory. The actual concentrated Rays directed from our Brotherhood nourish and encourage the development in all the particular God-gifts, talents, powers and general mastery along the lines which fulfill their Divine Plan on the Earth plane. Would that mankind also would develop such Faith and Trust in the Ultimate Perfection to be expressed through every member of the human race. Unfortunately, most of mankind judge each other by the outer personality and condemn them on the presence of their personal idiosyncrasies, which are of a temporary nature, rather than judging them as Beloved Jesus once said: "by righteous judgment" (holding the Immaculate Concept of their Eternal Divinity for them). In this year when Faith and Trust in God are being particularly emphasized, may I humbly suggest that Faith and Trust in the CORE OF GOOD (God) in every man be also incorporated into the earnest chelas' feelings! 

This does not mean that a discriminate individual should either accept or condone the imperfections of any personality, either audibly or silently, for this is but flattery and does more harm than good. It means that every sincere chela should endeavor to fully realize that within the beating heart of that personality there abides the Holy Christ Self of Perfection which, when lovingly encouraged, can and will externalize Its God-perfection through that personality, finally transmuting it completely. 

Beloved El Morya: 

The qualities of Faith and Trust are, of course, FEELINGS! There is no self-conscious intelligence which cannot feel nor which does not have emotions of one type or another. Therefore, each chela must examine himself to find out exactly in what he has placed his Faith and Trust; then, through self-conscious endeavor, each chela must personally try to place and keep his feelings of Faith and Trust in God and his Holy Messengers. Through the use of free-will, every individual actually magnetizes by the release of his feelings of Faith and Trust, that in which he believes! In order to experience the goodness of God (each one’s own individual "I AM" Presence) right here in this physical appearance world, Faith and Trust in him must be self-consciously directed toward him, daily and rhythmically. Then back through that channel so formed by the rising energy of Faith and Trust in that God Presence, will flow the visible tangible blessings which will be sufficient proof to any, individual of the efficacy of such spiritual exercise and control of his emotional world. 

Beloved Kuthumi: 

As Educators of the Shepherds and the human race, we are called upon at this time to emphasize the feelings of Faith and Trust in God and his Divine Messengers. Herein, again, we must point out the use of God-discrimination and wisdom. Faith and Trust in God are practical and require the loving, willing co-operation of the outer self of the chela, according to his developed faculties. Many well-meaning men and women, who are taught to trust God, expect to receive manifestations of a super-human nature, without any endeavor on their part to consciously co­operate with the inspirations and directions of God to and through them. They just 'lean on the Everlasting Arms', expecting God to do FOR them what he only CAN and MUST DO THROUGH THEME Disillusionment and discouragement are bound to result from assuming such a negative and childish attitude. The very gift of free-will in the use of Life is a sign post to the alert that they, themselves, must co-operate with the God who made them and that his spiritual vitality will then sustain their endeavors. As has been said so often - "God needs a body" through which to serve. The Beloved Ascended Master Jesus was one who cognized this Truth during his ministry on Earth and, although he had absolute Faith in his Heavenly Father, Jesus himself was always, and still is, practically 'about his Father's Business". This spiritual partnership develops within the chela the strength of his own God-Presence acting through him and the joy of self-conscious creation of Perfection. Try! 

Beloved Serapis Bey: 

The subject 'In God We Trust' is particularly interesting to me because I have the privilege and opportunity to examine each lifestream desiring to make the Ascension and to prepare for them the particular initiations which their innermost thoughts and feelings require for their spiritual development and expansion. These initiations are not punishments, but are opportunities to strengthen the chelas' Faith in God and Trust in his goodness. Sometimes the experiences which are necessary for this transformation from the human into the Divine seem extraordinarily difficult, especially when a chela asks that his entire nature be transmuted in one embodiment; whereas, according to natural Divine Law, he or she might have as long as twenty embodiments to achieve this transformation! It is the tremendous speed of transforming the human nature into the Divine which often causes the chela to feel that he is being 'tried' beyond the limits of his endurance. Yet, is it not better that what must be done - be done quickly, inasmuch as it must be done sometime? Chelas sometimes ‘beg off’ further initiations at Luxor under our direction and prefer to finish their course in a future life. It is entirely a matter of their own free-will. Yet, one day, one year - in some embodiment - every such chela will have to complete this transformation of the human personality and be able to say and feel as we do - in God and in his Goodness - we do trust! 

Beloved Hilarion: 

Faith and Trust are particularly interesting subjects to me. As you all know, at least part of my service to Life is to help those who have mis-placed their Faith and Trust in some activity wherein they found bitter disappointment and disillusionment - therefore in this life are skeptics and agnostics. This has left deep scars of doubt, suspicion and unbelief in their etheric bodies, and these people are not easily persuaded to use the beautiful Virtues of Faith and Trust in God and his Holy Messengers again! It requires infinite patience and perseverance (both on our part and their own) to dissolve their self-created 'shells' of distrust before they will even listen to the sound and balanced doctrine of Truth, realizing that it was their own mis-placed Faith and Trust which caused the bitter experiences through which they passed, rather than any power outside of themselves. However, once they have been thus persuaded, then can we begin to present to them the Truth that GOD IS LOVE and, gradually, according to their capacity to accept this Eternal Verity, are they again willing to use their Faith and Trust in God and his Goodness to help them rise out of their embittered and unhappy estate. I am so willing to help any interested individuals on Earth in this Cause which is so dear to my heart. On your own behalf, or on behalf of your loved ones, ask me for my feeling of Faith in God and Trust in his Goodness! I shall answer you instantly! 

Beloved Jesus: 

In my experience of nearly two thousand years ago, during my ministry upon Earth, I had the daily and hourly God-assistance of that magnificent Faith in the goodness of my Heavenly Father. Of course, in my Ascended Master Consciousness today, that Faith is tremendously expanded and all-powerfully active. This Faith in God's Power to act instantly and perfectly through me enabled me to bring about every miracle which I performed. Yet, I realized fully that I, myself, had to set up in my Consciousness, the thoughts and feelings through which the Father could freely act. Many individuals who sought my aid were wise enough to ask:"Lord, help thou my unbelief"! For this I was very grateful, for it enabled me to help them accept the assistance they required. Others, refusing to accept the power of God acting through me, could not receive the blessings for which I was then the Channel. Therefore, blessed ones, in the secret prayers of your own heart, do not hesitate to ask me to help your unbelief. I shall do so! 

Beloved Saint Germain: 

It is not by happenstance that the statement "In God We Trust" has been placed upon the coin of the Realm of the American people. It was a Divinely inspired message from on High which the masses of the people could (although most do not, unfortunately) read, accept and use in their daily barter and exchange. In this year when the Angelic Host is coming closer and closer to humankind, I say: "IN YOU (the Christ dwelling within your beating hearts) I TRUST!

THAT TRUST SHALL YET BE MANIFEST IN WORKS WELL DONE". So be it!
