Students of the One Light, 

You have been advised that the current year is devoted to creating and expanding a momentum of Illumined Obedience to the Presence of God I AM. Illumined Obedience consists of four major components, each of which I will discuss in detail. 

ASK - The first step in the process of Illumined Obedience occurs as you refer every matter, large or small, to the Wisdom of your Holy Christ Self. Paralleling this process to the Holy Breath, this is the action of inbreathing the Light into every facet of your daily life. 

WAIT - Next, you absorb the Light of the Christ, as you "wait upon the Lord." The time of waiting may take moments, days, years or lifetimes. Thus, this is a phase of rest, requiring patience and trust in the Presence of God I AM. All Divine Wisdom shall issue forth from the Presence of God I AM, in perfect Divine Order, encompassing all facets of the situation at hand. 

DISCERN - As you wait in the Silence, the Light expands through your consciousness, enabling you to discern the voice of the Christ as the answer is given. 

ACT - Finally, your union with Divine Mind enables you to project the Light outside of your own aura, creating Divine manifestation and adjustment of all outer circumstances. 

As you enter the Great Silence, you pass through the first two steps of this process. Your Personal Spiritual Journal is designed to assist you in the last two components: discernment and action. 

I have stated that one of the goals of this training program is to begin anchoring the Light of the Presence of God I AM into the world of form. Once having entered the Great Silence, receiving the full measure of nourishment to be found therein, every lifestream feels a great desire to remain in the Silence. This is a natural inclination; once having found its home after a long journey, the spirit desires rest. The free will of each lifestream is the factor which determines to what degree the gifts of the Silence shall be radiated forth to mankind at large. This is your challenge. 

The most important task facing any chela is to manifest the Inner Christ. The Light which thus comes forth will be comprised not only of currents from the chela's own Causal Body, but from the combined consciousness of the Body of Light, as well as the Causal Body of the Father-Mother God. In order to channel this Light to its fullest effect, it is necessary that you be embodied at this time in the earth's evolution, and that you take creative action to anchor the Light. This facilitates the union of the inner with the outer, commanding the energy from the Octaves of Light into the world of form. The personal Spiritual Journal, when properly utilized, becomes such a creative action. 

I would like you to ponder this information, carrying it with you into the Silence to receive further understanding. Next week, we will begin to explore the various ways in which your Journal can be used as a tool to help you manifest the Christ. Until then, I enfold you in my Love!
