Volume 6, No. 48                                                                                               March 2, 1958

Beloved Ones:

I present herewith for your edification and blessings the words of Lord Michael, the Archangel, spoken on the evening of the Transmission Flame Ceremonies, February 15th. 1958. I do decree that his feeling of Faith in God's Goodness shall now become a permanent part of your own feeling worlds: so be it.

Love and Blessings,

THE MAHA CHOHAN

BELOVED LORD MICHAEL Speaks: 

"I AM" Michael, servant of the Most High Living God, who has given me Being, Individualization and Opportunity to co-create in this planetary system and in other planetary systems the perfection of himself. "I AM" Michael, the servant of your own Light, living to set imprisoned life wherever I may find it free. "I AM" Michael, he who commands the Heavenly Hosts to stay within the atmosphere of this Earth and perform those services under the Seven Rays which are the particular aspect of those Rays. "I AM" Michael who loves the God that made you; who loves the Angelic Host that serve with me and who loves you, my children, all upon this planet Earth and all that belong to this evolution. "I AM" Michael who offered to come of my own free will to guard and guide and protect the destiny of all the individuals belonging to this planet Earth. "I AM" Michael who accepted the greater responsibility, when the Earth became the schoolroom for the laggards of other systems and worlds to protect the Faith within the hearts of men from every discordant appearance; and "I AM" to remain until the Earth's evolution is completely redeemed, until every imprisoned Angel, everyone of mankind, every elemental and every living thing knows full freedom, for such is my love for God; such is the motivating power of my being; that service to me is the only reason for being. That service is now and always will be to return to God, in pure perfection, that part of life, which through free will, chose temporarily the paths that lead to discord and distress. 

It has been my joy, my privilege and my honor through many, many ages to have guarded the Divine Spark which is the clothing of the Holy Christ Flame of the people who have used the Earth as a schoolroom and to protect that Spark, breathing upon it my own Faith, my own Love and Light, sustaining that Spirit Spark within the soul so that individuals would not pass through the second death. It is my endeavor now to expand that beautiful Flame within your hearts through the encouragement and the pressure of all Angels, Beings and Powers of the Temple of Faith as well as my own conviction and feeling of the power of Faith in the goodness of God. 

There is no self-conscious intelligence that does not have Faith, but it is where one places his Faith, through his own attention through the use of his own free will, which determines what shall act in his world and in his affairs. 

"I AM" determined, as the quality of Faith is part of my own lifestream, to disconnect the Faith that mankind has placed in discordant and limiting appearances and to CONSCIOUSLY connect the Faith of every lifestream, whether they are in embodiment or to come here in the future, to the power of God Almighty as the ultimate, redeeming, restoring and gracious Father: (their own "I AM" Presence). 

Beloved ones, Faith is a tender feeling. True Faith is one of the Graces. You think of it in terms of power because I, myself, wield much power on the First Ray but I want you to think of Faith in the terms of Grace for a moment... that wonderful, tender Faith in the power of the God that made you, the Immortal Three-Fold Flame within your heart that keeps your physical body alive as well as those of us who represent the Great White Brotherhood to assist in the redemption of the evolution of this Earth. 

I ask for your Faith, given unto you to place where you want it. As-a friend from the Temple of Faith, I reach forth my hand to you and I ask you for your Faith, that the power of the Elohim, the Archangels, and the mighty Chohans is greater than any and every human limiting appearance. If I could have a dozen lifestreams whose Faith was given consciously to me and not withdrawn again at the first intimation of distress in the outer world, through the power of contagion that Faith could be radiated through the entire human race. 

Your Faith is a tender and beautiful feeling. Its use is a gift of free will which I ask you to give to me and I, in return, will give to you the full gathered cosmic momentum of all of my Faith, gathered through experiences wherein I have seen discordant vibrations changed into harmonious ones by the use of the power of God Life. Is that not a fair exchange? You give to me your Faith and I will give you mine! Sometimes your Faith in the All-Power of God, the Universal "I AM" Presence, does waver. Make it a practice in such times of extremity to stop when fear and distress arises in your feelings to consciously offer to me your Faith! 

BACK ON THE VERY BEAM OF YOUR ENERGY WILL FLOW MY POWER of the Cosmic Faith in God's goodness to you. 

Beloved ones, the expansion of the Faith through the student body in the powers of the Sacred Fire will be determined by the Faith of the student body in those powers. It is my opportunity during this thirty-day period (February 15th to March 15th, 1958) to help you who are the heart of Faith to strengthen your Faith in the powers that are good, that are lasting, that are enduring. This can be a mental practice done without external expression, without even a word being spoken; by raising your Faith toward me or toward God himself. As you repeatedly do that, it becomes easier and easier for you to sustain that Faith and over the ray of that Faith sustained will come the WORK WELL DONE... I know, for when I endeavored to render the service of cutting the souls free from the tremendous accumulations brought by the laggards from the other Stars, think you not that I had to be anchored in the Faith that no matter how much accumulation that they had brought, yet one day would every one of those individuals, as well as those belonging to Earth's evolution, be redeemed! I promised the Almighty God that I would stay with this Earth and its evolutions until such redemption is completed - EVERY ELECTRON SHINING WITH LIGHT; every elemental happy and free; every Angel free of the bonds of mortality; every human being divine, dignified manifestation of their own Christhood while walking the planet Earth, RETURNING THIS STAR to the beauty and perfection which she knew before such temporary contamination occurred. 

Remember that the terms upward and downward insofar as description of Spirituality is concerned are not really correct. The acceleration of the vibratory action of consciousness right where you are now is really more correct. Therefore, beloved ones, Heaven is not upward, insofar as a perpendicular line is concerned, nor would so-called hell be downward, so far as a perpendicular line is concerned. IT IS RATHER DIFFERENTIATION IN THE SPEED OF VIBRATIONS OF THE ELECTRONS and because you denote a higher frequency, you think naturally that it is some place upward while a lower frequency you think of being downward. 

When you can get this scientific law clarified in your consciousness, it will bring to you the practical reality of the statement of beloved, ascended Master Jesus that the Kingdom of Heaven is not only at hand, it is actually interpenetrating the strata in which mankind abide. The lower vibratory action of the physical, mental, etheric and emotional bodies of most of the people of the Earth are just non-recordant to the finer vibratory action and the swiftly moving electronic pattern of the Angels and the Divine Messengers who pass back and forth on the surface of this Earth at all times. So, in order for an individual to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, he does not have to change place, he has to change the rate of vibration of consciousness. Such an one can then live in that rapid vibration where his sight is opened to the vibrations which are akin to his own and the Masters, the Angels and the Beings of the Divine Realms will all be visible even while he is yet unascended. BUT such an individual, dwelling in the Kingdom of Heaven, while here on Earth has to stand guard over the control of the speed with which the electrons which compose his various bodies are moving. That, of course, is self mastery!

You have all had experiences of being raised in consciousness when the Ascended Masters have spoken to you, That has just been an acceleration of the electrons that make up your four lower bodies and at those times they met with the Divine Consciousness of the Divine Messenger, and there was a communion and a conversion because of the attunement of the unascended being as well as the wonderful merciful grace of the Divine Beings who lower their own vibratory action to a rate where it can be charged into the emotional, mental, etheric and physical worlds of the chelas. 

You have heard many times about aspiring to that which is above and beyond the ken of mortal mind but I say to you, as we progress in the activities in the New Day and Era, you will come to an understanding that the ETERNAL NOW is peopled with these gorgeous Beings, interstellar visitors and Solar Logoi; with Angels of the various Rays and that it is the acceleration of the vibratory action of your vehicles which is required for you to see them and to be one with them; then to sustain that consciousness until all that they are is your natural state of being, is the mastery which the beloved Ascended Master Saint Germain requires so much for individuals on the Earth who are to represent him now and in the days to come. 

As you know, the Earth itself is being accelerated. That means that the very center pole of the Earth has to, according to Divine Fiat, move more rapidly; as it moves more rapidly in its orbit, every electron that makes up the substance of the Earth - the water and the air - have to move more rapidly. The bodies of the people on the Earth feel that acceleration because as it passes through the Earth, it naturally passes through their vehicles as well. This happened before, on other planets and other stars, and individuals then did not want to accelerate the vibratory action of their own vehicles. Through free will, they abandoned their stars and their planets and, as you know, the Earth became their 'foster parent' so to speak. At this time, there is no question of destructive use of free will; everyone belonging to this evolution has to accelerate the vibratory action of his own vehicles and keep, pace with the planet Earth's forward progress! 

This evening (February 15th, 1958) the great axis of the Earth again begins her movement which will cause tremendous changes. We have asked that this straightening of the axis be started during the thirty day period when the Temple of Faith itself was particularly active. We will try during this entire thirty-day period to give every Cosmic Christ protection and assistance to the water element, the air element, the earth element and the fire element; to the chelas particularly, to those of you who represent me and the activity of protection for the entire endeavor and then give special protection for the students and chelas all throughout the world. 

At Banff, beloved ones, as you know is the great Temple where I established the focus of Faith after leaving the Rocky Mountain Retreat and there I have abided and still abide. We opened our ceremonies today; we had informal councils this morning. Our four doors were open - at the cardinal points of the compass - and we have prepared the Sponsors for each one of those blessed individuals who are interested in the Temple of Faith. The smallest of these Sponsors is eight feet in height and the largest - it will be rather startling to you - is over eighteen feet tall. This seems perhaps quite a height insofar as physical bodies are concerned but there is a certain reason for embodying the qualities of Faith and Protection around lifestreams who are the focus and the guard of life here on the Earth. All of the Sponsors will be gentlemen who are charged with the qualities of both Faith and Protection. 

We have had many joyous experiences at Banff when our Retreat was visible to the physical sight of mankind. People came across all the earth's surface on pilgrimage, just to come to our Temple - not even to have an audience with myself. People thought in those early Golden Days, that a pilgrimage to an Ascended Master's Retreat was worth a lifetime of endeavor. Sometimes people from the far corners of the Earth would start out when they were about eighteen years of age travelling by boat and foot and would not even reach the Retreat in question until they were forty years of age. They spent a lifetime in that pilgrimage, eating and sleeping along the way as best they could. Then, in their graciousness, after completing that pilgrimage, they would sometimes just bow at the feet of the Temple steps and not even ask permission to enter. That great reverence for the Ascended Masters and their representatives was known in all the early eras; it was known on Atlantis; it was known in those Golden Ages. It will be known again someday on this planet Earth! In the East, of course, holy people often do spend an entire lifetime in pilgrimage crossing many a rocky crevasse, many a high mountain and glacier, as they hoped to find a Guru, and in finding One, know him to be an honest and sincere Exponent of the Light; many a pilgrim's body was lost in such a search. Tibet is filled with the records of those who tried, and, for all who tried, so few have made it! 

Therefore, in the Dispensation that has come to you, where you have the joys of the Ascended Master's Retreat open to you; where WE, instead of you, make the journey into your presence and give you Audience and love and light, please, wheresoever your words can be heard, remind good people that this is an unusual dispensation. Even the Beloved Master Jesus himself had to cross Asia from Judea on foot to become one of a band of chelas who sat around his teacher! He sat among that group without anyone giving him the slightest outer recognition and there he absorbed (in the radiation of that Teacher) the essence of his message, which was to be fulfilled in the manifest expression of the Resurrected Christ and then he walked all the way back to Judea again, a man among men! 

Beloved ones, you can rise on a thought and on that very thought, instead of having to cross the great Canadian Rocky Mountains, you can come into our Temple; you can walk up the steps; you can enjoy the beauty of it; you can enter in and see that Flame of Faith; bathe yourselves within it; feel its essence permeating your etheric consciousness, your mental and your emotional bodies. You have full freedom to enjoy the magnificent grounds which surround it - the pools and the fountains, and the Angels and the Devas who are present there. THE DOOR HAS BEEN OPENED TO HEAVEN'S KINGDOM and All of Heaven's sons have said "welcome; welcome, welcome children of Earth and guardian spirits; welcome into our homes, our hearts and our experiences and take from us the happiness which is ours to give. Take from us that virtue which you desire and require; live in our hearts and our worlds as long as you will and when you must return to your own orbits and homes CARRY WITH YOU not only the radiation of that virtue which we are but also a Sponsor who has been trained for centuries in that CONVICTION and POWER of Faith in the Goodness of God; Faith in the absolute supremacy of God wherever his Holy Name "I AM" is spoken and discord ceases to be. 

Beloved ones again I say "Give me your Faith; give me your Faith; give me your Faith." For Faith is a delicate feeling; Faith misplaced does sear the etheric body and plants suspicion and mistrust in the soul. When that Faith has been so misplaced, it is I, who lovingly, breathe, upon it, soothe it, purify it and restore it to perfection again. 

Ah, lovely ones, I have seen sincerity of motive with Faith misplaced and the, tears and disillusionment which follow! That is why I say to you Faith is such a delicate and beautiful thing. For all the lifestreams who have used this Earth for a schoolroom from the beginning of time and who shall so use it in the future, "I AM" accepting the responsibility of purifying from their etheric bodies the result of misplaced Faith in many embodiments since they first came forth from the Heart of God, removing the cause and core at inner levels of all distrust and suspicion; all fear and all doubt; and giving each one, back the SHINING BLAZING, ARMOR OF FAITH IN GOD AND HIS GOODNESS NOW THIS NIGHT! I speak this with power into the emotional, mental, etheric and physical consciousness of all life. Even the animal kingdom (although it has not self conscious intelligence, having not within it the Three-fold Flame) has Faith - a dog, a cat, a horse - has Faith in the one who feeds and serves him. That Faith, too, will one day raise that imprisoned energy into full expression as an elemental of beauty; and that Faith too has been abused by many lifestreams who have taken undue advantage of the trust in the animal kingdom and then have slaughtered them for carnal purposes. All of that is part of the essence of my Being that must go through the process of redemption, and shall be redeemed in this thirty day period. 

Beloved Sanat Kumara again holds the Cosmic Rod of Power and has come to the Temple of Faith in the capacity of Regent during this activity. Tonight Beloved Lord Gautama continues his same activity in service radiating the Divine Love which he represents. The other Archangels and Beings and Powers of Light, of course, are gathered here and we have made the amphitheatre this time world enfolding so that every bit of light that remains within the Earth or upon it will feel this essence. 

I like the phrase "world enfolding" as a seal to complete your fiats, because it is a more positive affirmation than "engulfing" which again denotes distress. So we have a world enfolding amphitheatre into which all members from the former compound, all dwellers in the sleepers realm, all discarnates, all the chelas gather and the activities for the thirty-day period I promise you will be ones that you will remember, I hope, in happiness. - 

In order that I may join with my company and assist in drawing the magnetic power of that Faith in the Goodness of God, through the Flame on the Altar of my Temple I shall have to bid you temporary adieu, just asking you once more to remember that Faith is a delicate and beautiful thing and that I ask you to give me yours - and I will give you mine! 

Thank you so much.
