On the "Conquering of Self"
Lord Maitreya
Shamballa
September 1985
I come to you at this time, as I do at the Wesak and Asala Festivals, representing the Love Nature of God as expressed in the various paths of spiritual development. Whenever I have the opportunity of approaching embodied humankind through his spiritual efforts, invocation and attunement, I always bring into the lower atmosphere of Earth a Force of Cosmic Love that accelerates you into the feeling nature of God... existing even momentarily within the True experience of Holy Spirit.
The leaders of the New Age must be an open door for the Cosmic Christ in their minds and feeling worlds, silencing all else. This was exampled so well by the Master Jesus as the Spiritual Leader of the previous Age. As with him I bring to you the Power within the Silence so you can know and feel that the only real Power, real Leadership, real Authority of representing God is in this inner stillness; blazing from the Christ itself, officiating at the Altar of your Heart. There "I AM" as well, always, with this feeling of Love, which will transform this planet through my embodied 'cells' (the chelas) as l did through beloved Jesus.
To embody this Holy Silence, this Golden Stillness, there is only one arena of action that should concern any of you and that is the initiations for control of the self... to be able to rest within the Love, Wisdom and Power of Cod and act from that point of Consciousness. You the chela must let go (actually let go instead of wishing you could let go) of all outer battles, any desire to change anything outside yourself, until you have completely conquered self.
Then and then only will your influence on the world around you be according to the Will and Power of God and not of the little self. Thus, until you conquer self, you potentially remain part of the problem instead of part of the solution, where the little self continues to try and assert its will through its own self-generated sense of power, eventually depleting you.
Free yourselves first and then help the Ascended Ones free this planet. I bring to you today the Cosmic Stillness the Ascended Ones dwell within, while serving this planet through Their activities and projects. Feel every aspect of your Being become so still that nothing moves, everything is in complete Balance, as if stilled by the Supreme Balance in God's Divine Love Nature... the outgoing centrifugal Force expanding the Gifts of Light, balanced by the cohesive Force holding all within the Loving arms of Love Supreme.
This is the Ascended Master Consciousness... crystal, breathtaking stillness, the Golden Silence of Divinity.
Dwell here to conquer the self! so in the days to come (for we are in the latter days) you may have a refuge to refill or recharge yourself at the Holy Fount, finding everything (every quality, every assistance, every guidance) necessary for complete Victory, personally and planetary.
This can create an Aura so delightful that all 'entertainment’ of the five outer senses dims in comparison and your need for outer information, outer entertainment, outer confirmation, outer anything, drops away and all is supplied through the Oneness with this great Silence. Be aware dear ones, that "I AM" inviting you to dwell with the Gods, the Ascended and Perfect Beings, but to do so you must first gain entrance into the Eternal Silence through stilling the outer self in the Love and Light of "I AM" Consciousness.
There is only one path to Illumination and that is the conquering of self. There is only one path to true Love and that is the conquering of self. There is only one path to Peace, Divine Order, Health, Freedom, Supply, Victory and "I AM" Consciousness; the conquering of self. Let all other struggles cease so that all your resources are aimed at the conquering of self. Become one-pointed in this effort, for the Cosmic clock turns.
To bring this Activity of Light (and each of you individually as its cells) to full fruition during this Earth's transition, we need chelas who have fully and completely conquered self. Meet each experience with a singular purpose of conquering self. When accomplished through enough 'cells in collective attunement' (the Group Avatar), the Ascended Masters can then meet every other earthly experience through you, as I did through the Master Jesus and truly the Christ shall have returned to Earth.
Let us review basic Law. The Light (the Message... the Eternal Law of Life) is the real Avatar and its Reality must be (shall be) manifest through a group of Christed souls in this New Age.
Whatever the avenue of anchorage, it is always the Law, the Truth, the Light of God that never fails, the message of Supreme Love, which stands alone as the Avatar. Even the Gracious Sanat Kumara, in speaking with the Great White Brotherhood, speaks of the Light he was privileged to have held within his Causal Body as the Savior of the Earth, rather than his humble self. So it was with the Buddha, with beloved Jesus, and now with the spiritual leaders of this Age.
The Reality of "I AM" Consciousness is the Avatar and you are its vehicle. You can see why, dear ones, "I AM" so adamant that the chelas concentrate on the conquering of self in service to this planet. Then you can say as did the Master Jesus while he was working the Miracles of "I AM" Consciousness; "I of myself am nothing; it is the Father (the Light) within that doeth the works".
The Ascended Ones have always promised you that when you obtain the state of Divine Consciousness through the purification of self, they would flood through your Being their Love, their Wisdom and their Power to fully establish the Glories of a New Age of Spiritual Freedom.
With the increasing Power of the Seventh Ray gifts of Forgiveness, Transmutation and Purification descending into the lower atmosphere of Earth from the Great Amida Buddha, the conquering of self is evermore available to earnest and devout chelas. I pray that you take advantage of these Energies so that we all might be about the Father's business of establishing the real Avatar, the Reality of "I AM" Consciousness, on the planet Earth.
I have been forceful in this message concerning the conquering of self, but I trust it will not lead to fanaticism of any kind. Remaining poised in the Balance of the Middle Way is always the example of the Ascended Ones, while simultaneously surrendering every aspect of our Being to God's Will. Sealing you in every momentum that I have in the conquering of self, I remain ever yours in service...
Maitreya (Cosmic Christ)
