“First Ray”

October 1952

My Beloved Friend of Old:

I bring to you today the love of a Father for his children, which has grown and matured through the centuries since we were last together. The dearness of the hearts that have truly loved grows the more sweet by reason of the centuries of time that have woven the life bond, which like a golden ribbon, runs through our very selves, making us one body in the Christ expression.  

Every man spins from the essence of his heart flame a chain or a pathway of life. Those of us who have sighted, even dimly, the vision of the Father have spun from our heart flames the essence which has become the immortal highway into the heart of Heaven, the bridge from the human to the Divine. Along this Spiritual Path, woven out of the bright essence of man's divinity, many Lifestreams have consciously ascended out of imperfection into the consciousness which can create and sustain harmony, peace and beauty at will.  

Many lifestreams, like you dear hearts, have woven the substance of your many lives into this Pathway, contributing by the essence of your very selves to the work of those who have gone before and have qualified by love to become the Guardians of the race. Thus, although your freed Spirits have not yet ascended on this path, you are counted among the "bridge" children, and your energies have contributed to the Path by which some of your brothers and sisters have gone before you into the glory of the Eternal Day!

For every man whose life essence lies like a fiber of golden Flame uniting the Kingdom of earth with the Kingdom of Heaven, we are grateful. For every electron that passes into the world of form qualified consciously by some human being to assist the forward progress of the race, we are thankful. For every living, breathing, aspiring soul, whose heart cries out for liberation, drawing us back on the energy of that cry, We send forth our praise and thanksgiving to life, because the call from the hearts of humanity is the open door by which we may enter your worlds to assist you.  

During the course of the centuries, many good endeavors have sprung from the chaste hearts of humankind, whereby the Kingdom of the Father was incorporated into the policies of the aspirants, and the pure essence drawn, nourished and released, remains yet as part of the heritage of akasha, another golden span in the bridge from the human to the Divine. Thus, through the endeavor perished by reason of one human fault or another, the heritage of the endeavor is immortalized in this ever-widening golden span, whose roots are in the hearts of men and whose branches leaf out in the Realms wherein the Gods do now abide. With the inner eye, it is easy to discern the colors that signify the Atlantean and Lemurian cultures, and the essence of the Buddha's Faith, the Christian Creed on and on, ad infinitum.

In the course of humanity’s long and tedious journey, many God-inspired individuals seized upon a portion of the God Vision and began, through the power of thought and feeling, to weave a thread of life, only to be "called" from the task ere it was well begun. This sweet thread lies often unclaimed in the finer ethers unless reclaimed by the original sponsor in successive incarnations. It is often never woven into its pure design, but rather claimed by the Builders of Form and woven into the bridge itself as another link to tie the earth and its evolution to the heart of God.

If, however, the thread of an idea begun is picked up again by the same individual in successive lives, as for instance, Saint Germain, who continued to weave the thread of Freedom through every century in which he took embodiment - the pattern is well defined before such a one is called to his Eternal Freedom, and the vision, if uncompleted, can be voluntarily assumed by those who have worked with the original sponsor, but who are not yet ready to accept the Ascension for themselves. Thus, Saint Germain was offered his Ascension before the New World was established in the Western Hemisphere, but only accepted that Ascension when other fine Patriots, (his unascended friends) promised the Karmic Board at Inner Levels to assume the responsibility of completing the task. On this promise, he took his Freedom.

Sincerely and devotedly, "I AM"
