Beloved Children seeking the Way back home, 

Home is a state of uninterrupted harmony and peace. It is the realm in which we abide by reason of our learning the Law of the conscious control of our energies, not allowing these energies (the life force) to vibrate below the vibrations of harmony, love, peace, tolerance, kindliness, forbearance and truth. 

One day, upon life's path, you too shall consider the maintaining of the Peace more important than any personal gratification, any sense of self justification, any desire to aggrandize personality or, conversely, to condemn yourselves for "works not well done". When you come to that point I shall help you to find the power that dwells within you and which is such a master control of the energies of your minds, your feelings, your memories, yes, and even the organs, cells, nerves and substance of your flesh body. Then by LOVE rather than by Will shall you feel the glory of harmony among your many selves. Once you have felt this harmony, there is not that will be important enough to allow the energies of any of your vehicle, to lose this harmony. So it is with us. 

The law of Mercy and Compassion is good beyond man's fondest conceptions. One, aspect of that Law is the "veil" drawn between man's conscious mind and the memories of the experiences (with their attendant bitter thoughts, feelings and actions) of past lives. Remember the Lords of Karma themselves allowed you new opportunity to live in THIS DAY. "NOW IS THE TIME" sayeth the Lord. If you were fettered with the feelings and memories of the countless centuries in which you were embodied, plus the experiences of this earth life, there would be little opportunity for you to learn the lessons that the soul must absorb in this life. Further, those past memories, with their attendant weaknesses and discords, would bitterly affect your association with others. 

Individuals (like Lot's wife in the Bible) are intrigued with the idea of "looking backward". The outer personality enjoys the ideas of great glory, power, service and accomplishment in Ages that have passed from the screen of life. In this way, the present personality seeks to glorify the present, sometimes insignificant, ego. The individual forgets that in so throwing the consciousness backward (against the Wisdom of the Karmic Board) he may well enter into the feelings, the thoughts, the actions, and even the physical dis-abilities of those former embodiments. It is not just a matter of observing "a picture or a play" when an individual forces the curtain of Mercy open.

It is a matter of entering into and becoming the personality long since discarded and a very dangerous practice indeed. From time to time, the Ascended Masters do reveal certain aspects of past embodiments for two specific reasons only. Firsts to allow the individual to evaluate his present tendencies, human nature, etc. and to make the corrections in this present life. Second, to allow the individual to see what part his momentum of service through the ages has been so that he may couple that momentum of GOOD with his present personal service. For any individual, however, to endeavor to project his consciousness backward, unless in the actual Presence of an Ascended Being, is to open the door to heart ache and distress. Be not like the dis-obedient wife of Lot who "turned to a pillar of salt" through curiosity and rebellion against the Lord. Live in the NOW, grateful that what you have done, what you have been in past embodiments is mercifully withheld from your present brain consciousness in order for you to more happily and efficaciously enjoy this present embodiment and so set your worlds into Divine Order. 

This does not mean, however, that you cease to call with all the intensity of your beings for the dissolving, transmuting and sublimating of all past errors and mistakes in your entire life stream. The great Angels of Mercy and Purification will do this for you at your call but you need not experience the suffering of knowing and feeling again the remorse and distress of those pasts ages. 

Live in the Eternal Now! Prepare for the future when you accept your God Perfection! Jesus referred to this aspect of the Law when he said "Let the dead bury the dead! Fellow thou me!". Because of special endeavors to purify the Earth and its attendant evolutions the following decree is strongly recommended by me to be said daily, for the next twelve months.

Love and Blessings,

THE MAHA CHOHAN

Say at least three times - and repeat three times daily. Suggested decree from June, 1956 Bridge to Freedom: 

"Beloved Mighty Presence of God "I AM" in me and Beloved Holy Christ Self! Look down my whole stream of lives! See what yet remains to be balanced by me to any person, place, condition or thing I have ever wronged at any time, in any way, for any reason whatsoever! 

Then reach your great loving hands of light into my storehouse of good which I have accumulated through the ages - my Causal Body. Draw forth from there TEN TIMES as much perfection as I have ever done wrong. Fashion from that substance of perfection a gift of love or whatever is necessary to balance every debt I have ever created which still remains unpaid (whether it be to those Ascended or unascended. 

* Also Beloved Mighty Presence of God "I AM" in me and Beloved Holy Christ Self! FORGIVE (3 times) every person, place, condition or thing which has done me wrong. Balance all debts owed to me by Life everywhere. 

I consciously accept this done RIGHT NOW! With full power, eternally sustained and ever expanding. (3times).
