Beloved seekers of divine truth,
Beloved Æolus' Code of Conduct of a Disciple of Holy Spirit is a wonderful set of ideals upon which to base the foundation of your personal spiritual evolution. However, the momentum you will create in your being and world following these sacred tenets can only be maintained by your commitment to your further development and a great deal of hard work on your part.
First and foremost it is said that to aspire to be the full expression of God, you must become consciously aware of and devote your life to fulfilling the request of the First Commandment: 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.' These are very simple and easy words to say but have you ever put any thought and energy into what this statement really means? How do you want to be treated by others? The answer depends upon how you truly feel about yourself. Do you value your existence in this world? Do you recognize your gifts and talents, working hard to improve yourself and often offering your time and energy in service to others?
You probably want others to be nice and treat you with respect. You also want to be acknowledged and supported as you move through life. This, beloved ones, is how most people want and need to be treated by others and as we work through the rest of the items in the Code of Conduct. I believe you will quickly find they will assist you greatly in accomplishing your task. You are asked to 'Learn the lesson of Harmlessness' Not by word, thought, action or feeling inflict pain or discomfort on another. You must always take a moment to consider how to interact with others before responding. Ask yourself: Am I responding as a master would respond in this situation? If not, take time to choose another course of action. Also, to assist you in your decision you may want to consider the consequences of your actions, for very often it may be difficult to take something back once it has manifested in the world of form.
I know this may sound difficult and seem to complicate your lives for those of you who might believe 'you must always live in the here and now' for this seems to go against what you are trying to accomplish in your life. Beloved ones, be assured this is not the case. In fact, just the opposite is true; for by fully taking responsibility for yourself—your entire self and everything about yourself—you are finally living in the moment perfectly!
You have spent many years, maybe even many lifetimes, studying many of God's Great Divine Principles, whether you are consciously aware of this fact or not. I truly believe that you will find this suggestion easier to implement in your life than you think, if you will but take the time to do so. It is time to put our teachings into practice in your daily life. Remember also: we will be there with you, assisting you during each and every step. In love and light, may you now have the courage to rise above and change the patterns you created many centuries ago and still continue to follow.
The time has come for your seven bodies to finally become one, attaining mastery over your lower vehicles!
Additional Understanding Offered One Week Later
What effect has the past seven days had upon your spiritual understanding in regards to your relationship with others? If you truly followed my instructions, I AM sure there were many opportunities brought to your attention, to not only expand your current knowledge, but perhaps bring to your attention some aspects of human relationships that had never occurred to you before. Whatever you learned, I hope it was a happy and comfortable experience for all involved. If not, I remind you to call forth and blaze the Violet Fire through every aspect of your interactions with others to purify and transmute any residual negativity that may remain to create difficulty for yourself or others in the future.
The next principle we will be examining in your relationships with others complements well the previous weeks work. However, it does offer a slightly different variation on divine truth for your consideration. 'Stir not a brother's or a sister's sea of emotion, either thoughtlessly or deliberately.' Of course you will all say that this is an easy one because you would never hurt another person on purpose, but please let us stop and think about this for a moment. Do you remember that silly little comment you consciously chose to offer and it really didn't need to be shared, the only reason being so you could have the last word in the conversation. How about that indifferent shrug of your shoulders, the washing of your hands of a situation, or the disgusted look on your face that perhaps you may not have even been aware of.
Hopefully, gestures like these were not done deliberately by a chela of this Activity of Light!
Don't you realize, or perhaps you have forgotten for the moment, that beside the fact you have inflicted discomfort through your words or actions, the storm you create in another person's sea of emotions will eventually flow back to you. In other words: 'What goes around does and always will eventually come around,' if not in this lifetime then in the next.
Since the stroke of Midnight on December 31 you have worked with a magnificent Thoughtform. Through your actions this year, I hope we will not be shown that these words were given in vain. Still yourselves, beloved ones, and listen not only with your mind but this time with your heart and feeling world as well. Through the balancing activity of the sacred Violet Transmuting Flame, my seven bodies have truly become one and I now fully enter the consciousness of the Christ. One with this great Body of Light, I will consciously remain connected with the Mind of God at all times, focusing my full attention upon the qualities of truth, healing, concentration and consecration. Manifesting the perfect example of God's Will on Earth, I will endeavor always to awaken the Presence of the Christ in all life.
As you accept the fullness of Christ Consciousness in your lives you have become fully anchored in the Flame of God's Truth. From this perfected state of being you must charge the essence of healing and comfort throughout your entire being and world and those of all people everywhere at all times. Remember you are a pillar of green healing flame for not only yourself but all your brothers and sisters in the Family of Man.
By your example, beloved ones, manifest this divine truth in the world of form here and now. So be it, beloved I AM!
It seems impossible but another month has come and gone. We will, however, continue to work enfolded within the radiation of beloved Æolus, the Cosmic Holy Spirit, as I continue to offer my thoughts on the Code of Conduct and you put them to use in your daily lives. Have a good week and please take some time to consider the wonderful gift given to each one of you with the Thoughtform and Theme of this year.
