Summer Conference
Kwan Yin
August 1, 1993
Beloved Friends of Mercy,
I AM deeply grateful for the opportunity to address you on the opening day of My Temple of Mercy and Compassion in Beijing, China. You know My Temple is open all year. However, when a Retreat is open for a thirty-day sojourn, the attention of the chelas is especially drawn to that Retreat. There is a concentrated time of learning and application of the specific gifts of that Master and Their brotherhood. Today, I have the additional advantage of speaking to you on the final day of an international conference. This means that you can each take the content of My message home with you, and immediately apply it in your daily lives. As well, you can share it with other lightworkers you contact. Therefore, I AM blessed many times by this opportunity!
I announce today that I have offered to keep The Temple of Mercy and Compassion open to you during the remaining years of this century as well, due to the pressing needs of these times. Please come whenever you desire, knowing you will receive all the assistance We can offer.
Sometimes, when you come here, you bring with you a great personal need for silence, rest and the refreshment that can only be truly received when you are in the presence of your closest family members and friends. I remind you to know that your I AM Presence is the closest family member you have―the One who understands and loves you perfectly. We offer you that same perfected love within the silence of Our Retreat.
The need for silence is a deep and abiding one for any person who is in embodiment at this time. This is especially true for those of you who are working on behalf of the entire race of humanity. Therefore, I speak directly to each of your precious hearts when I say, Welcome into the Heart of the Mercy Flame, the sacred Violet Fire, the most profound expression of pure, Divine Love upon the Earth.
You have seen Me depicted in many diverse ways, and sometimes you have wondered what they all mean. I have spoken of the image of Myself with many arms, each hand containing a special gift. The meaning of the gifts is that I have many to offer, each unique and special in its own way. Today, I wish to apply this meaning to the group of chelas who sit within My Presence―and, through you, to all chelas everywhere on Earth. You are each a gift of God to your United Human Family, and this is why you are here. If you think of yourself as one of My arms―one of My hands stretched forth to offer your gift―you begin to understand. Yet all of My arms are coming forth from One Body, with One Heart and One Head, representing the Love and Wisdom of God.
The arms and hands represent the Power, the activity of doing something with the Love and Wisdom nature from which they emerge. At this most wonderful Conference, beloved Micah has unified your heads, your hearts and your hands together with each other, and never before have We―the Ascended Masters and Cosmic Beings―seen quite such a demonstration of Unity in every way.
Also, you have joined as a group with the One Body of Light, creating with your combined efforts some tools that will now be offered to the entire Body of Light through the printed word, together with a description of the activity of this Conference. As you know, all chelas worldwide are connected with the Conference in consciousness, and are taking part in this way. The ways and means of this cooperative effort will be addressed more fully when time permits, as Our Teaching continues at a rapidly accelerated rate.
I ask that you take a few moments right now to feel and accept the Presence of beloved Master Dwjal Khul, Who is often present with you, but moves so silently that you may not always notice. At this time, as we are silent and receptive, He wishes to place His Cloak of Quietude around your shoulders, letting you receive the influence of His loving nature. In the attitude of inner quiet, you can receive all God's gifts more quickly, because you are listening with greater concentration. Feel God's quietness open the windows and doors of your beings to the inflow of mercy, compassion, forgiveness, and the inner peace that is the natural result of these, My gifts to the children of Earth.
We are in a time of great power, activated and accelerated by the mighty Seventh Ray. As you are well aware, the Power of God without the Love and Wisdom, may bring about more problems than solutions. This is a primary reason why the first part of the New Age of Spiritual Freedom must consist of using My Qualities of the great and magnificent influence of the Seventh Ray. Before, the last time this Ray was in effect on the Earth, influencing all life, the love and wisdom nature of humanity was not sufficiently developed to be able to utilize the power of God in very productive ways.
In the Age of Moses, the spiritual nature of humankind was set free, ceremonially represented by the Children of Israel departing Egypt to reside in the Holy Land. Thus began the impetus of Spiritual Freedom, preparing the way for the next age, in which Micah, the Angel of Unity, came to bring the Christian Dispensation to flower. In that age, as you know, the seeds of mercy and forgiveness were especially planted, as He knew the needs of that age in order to fully manifest the Spiritual Freedom that was foretold. Moses foretold the coming of Micah, as Jesus, bringing redemption through forgiveness and sacrifice. In turn, Jesus foretold your coming, to act as the Pillars of Violet Fire, to purify the Earth through that forgiveness and love. Most of you are just beginning to glimpse this truth. I ask that you ponder upon this knowledge. It will help you realize the eternal Love of God that connects all ages into one glorious pageant of expression―the evolution of life through consciousness.
There is another way I AM depicted in works of art, and that is of holding a child. You have thought that this represents a particular love of children, which is true. They are always the hope of the world! However, My interest goes deeper, for I always represent the Love of the One United Family of Humanity. Within that family, each individual family unit has the opportunity to form a complete and interdependent working force. Through these units, all children may have the best opportunity to learn the karmic lessons of physical life with the loving support of those around them.
Today I ask you to look at a more personal aspect, and that is of the child who always lives within your heart―your true Christ Child. No matter what your age, this child is always there within you, and I desire with all My Heart, to nurture this little one, if you will give Me this opportunity. Let me hold your child. Please, with great love and reverence, see me take this child from your arms into My own. Let Me pour My gifts of Mercy, Forgiveness and Love into your precious and perfect heart, so that you may then expand these gifts to all life, as you blossom into the Christ, grown to full stature!
If you have trouble loving and accepting yourself, I offer a simple technique to use. Get a picture of yourself as a little child, and look at it every day and tell it that you love it. If you have trouble with this step, just say "Kwan Yin loves you, and therefore, I love you, too!"
When you begin to feel the tides of Love and Forgiveness flowing into and through your hearts for this little one, then please use the same technique with your physical children, and those of others, who may not be so fortunate as to be in families such as yours. Understand, I speak not only to you who are parents, because you all touch the lives of other individuals and families. Use this technique to help the child within any person, especially if you have difficulty in forgiving another person for any reason. Love all children free, with the compassionate Violet Fire within your precious hearts.
Especially use My Flame for all children, youth and young people on your planet. Look at them through My eyes, and let My Heart and Mind combine with yours as you work with them. Let your hands be My Hands in the world of form.
Beloved Ones, in closing My message today, I want you to remember to always start with yourselves before rushing forth to serve. Take time to see that your own 'family'―your four lower vehicles, are in perfect attunement to your three higher vehicles, so that you work in the true unity that Micah brings to you. Always go to your own God Presence first, and always work through the God Presence of others, when you are bringing your gifts of healing and understanding to the world around you.
Know that I love you with a love that cannot be expressed in words, but that can be experienced only in the silence of your own Temple―that sacred place in your heart. Walk softly, and speak softly with gentleness, remembering that the child within others is listening for the love of God to be extended to him. Day by day, be the Holy Christ Self in action in the physical world, as you release the good of your Causal Bodies to all life you touch, in every way.
I AM with you always, through the Flame of Mercy, Forgiveness, Compassion, and the Spiritual Freedom It brings. Here is your child. I now hand it back to you. Love it free!
Your Mother of Light,
Kwan Yin
