" . . . invoke the flame
[of freedom]. And if you tire of invoking it, [please] do not tire
of singing its songs. They are devotional. They open your hearts. They are
a cleansing of the desire [body] and the emotions. Singing the songs of

O Liberté, que de crimes
on commet en ton nom!
(Oh Liberty, what crimes are committed in thy name!)
" . . . There are hearts and minds of freedom all over the world
today who are so strong and determined in their dedication to freedom
that they affect the entire planetary consciousness! And therefore,
their 'genius' does affect all other genes on earth and there is an
elevation and evolution of planetary man. And individuals actually
increase their capacity to bear the Christ and give birth to holy
children because of the will of a single consciousness of God-mastery
held on a point of the Law that will not retreat, will not give up,
will not stop until the desired end is reached."

" . . . For the uses to which this science (alchemy) is presently
put must be translated to a higher dimension if mankind are to represent
the full benefits thereof. Unless this spiritual science is applied
to the freeing of individuals and society from drudgery, confusion
and compromise with the densities of human thought—as is our
wish—the purposes to which God ordained it will remain unfulfilled."

" . . . To those who would know the freedom
of the soul, I say, listen well! For there is a price that must
be paid for that freedom. It is the surrender of your idols, of
your idolatry, and of your submission to the idolatrous generation.
"The soul that is free is the soul
that retains the image of the Christ and is the progenitor of that
image in the raising-up of the sons and daughters of God who take
dominion not only over the earth but over the idolatrous generations
who inhabit the Earth."

"This is the meaning of being free and being a freedom fighter.
The role of the freedom fighter is to champion the right of the
individual soul to climb the ladder of being, to champion the right
of the soul to be nourished by the truth and to not have that truth
banned and its adherents burned at the stake or massacred, as they
have been in the past because their definition of Jesus Christ’s
teachings was not Rome’s definition.
"Those were terrible times and many of you were there, and
you gave your lives to a cause that you believed in and would not
renounce. No, you would not renounce your vegetarianism or your
strict beliefs in reincarnation and karma or your understanding
of the path of the Guru-chela relationship or your knowledge of
Gnosticism as it embraced even the teachings of Gautama Buddha.
"Blessed hearts, for how many decades have
you enjoyed your freedom to practice the religion of your choice?
" . . . Blessed hearts, this is an hour to
champion the cause of nondiscrimination in politics and religion
in America and in every nation upon earth. For there are tyrants
in every nation; and where governments have not guaranteed the sacred
freedoms, these tyrants have gotten away with torturing and imprisoning
their own citizens for challenging them and their regimes.
" . . . Freedom fighters all, I say to you:
Fight for your own wisdom! Fight for your own education! Fight for
your own desire to champion the millions and not only the few.
" . . . When you can carry the torch of this
Teaching nation by nation, you will find that you will kindle heart
flames, you will kindle and rekindle the threefold flame, you will
bring individuals into contact with the Holy Spirit because you
will have gained that presence of the Holy Spirit within yourselves.
"You will see, then, as you go forth with
your bands, two and three and four, to this nation and the next,
how you will light up those nations and how tyrants and the astral
hordes of tyranny will crumble. I say it, beloved, because you will
be reinforced by my legions and the legions of the Seven Archangels
and of the Seven Holy Kumaras.
"This is the calling, beloved. It is the calling
to affirm the right of every soul to practice the religion of his
choice “with malice toward none, with charity for all.”
In this spirit, affirm to those you contact, 'You have a right to
believe what you believe.' And if it is known that some do not believe
as you do and you feel prompted by the Holy Spirit to show them
another way, the Ascended Masters’ way, then do it gently.
Suggest but do not compel. Teach by example and always with compassion.
"It is not necessary for people to change
their religion in order for them to benefit from studying and applying
the Teachings of the Ascended Masters in their lives. For these Teachings
are universal. They both transcend and take into account all paths
to God. "It is important that
individuals come to the place where they realize that they need
more, that they need the deep things of God. Some are very satisfied
with what they have; and to present them with more than they are
ready for is to overstock the banquet. Thus you must revisit them
in another round when the hardships of karma and life’s lessons
have brought them full circle and they are ready for the strong
meat of the Word. There are Lightbearers in every race and nation.
None ought to be put down and all ought to be welcomed to enter
into the miracle manifestation of the great gifts of the Holy Spirit."

Cosmic Cross of White Fire |
" 'Keep on keeping on' is the way of the cosmic cross of white
fire. Thus, when discernment is needed, when a difficult decision
is to be made which you have placed upon the altar of God, look
then to the lives of the greatest of heroes and those who have ascended.
Study their right choices and understand the rightness of choice
by the fruit of that action.
"Understand [human] errors and be spared of
pitfalls because [you understand how] saints who have gone before
you have also temporarily fallen into the traps of the seed of the
wicked. Realize, beloved, that every succeeding test of Divine Love
will call for you to sacrifice, [sometimes] even to sacrifice “morality”
or what is the acceptable human standard in that time frame.
"The purity of heart and the motive of your
soul and that which impels you to lay down your life for the friend
may be an overriding concern that is also one with the heart of
God.The tests are spiritual ones. They leave the moorings and the
support systems of all of the rules and regulations of the world
and they bring you directly to the heart of Christ— . . .
what he did do . . .
"Considering Jesus to be the Prince
of Peace and the embodiment of perfect Love, let all of you consider,
episode by episode of his life, how he wielded the sharp sword of
Love and how that Love was expressed, whether as compassion or rebuke,
chastisement and judgment, healing or the raising of the dead. For
in the many-faceted jewel of the ruby ray, you will discover how
to pass through this labyrinth of maya and illusion and astral denizens
at every hand . . . "

" . . . I am in the heart of every freedom fighter upon earth.
I am in the heart of those who were defeated in Tiananmen Square
because the nations did not rise up with one arm and say, 'Thus
far and no farther!' to the Communist Chinese, to that government
and this nation’s representative, who has preferred commerce
to the liberty of the individual.
"Yes, beloved, nation by nation by nation
I am in the hearts of those who have dared to strike against this
Moloch of human greed, against the towers of Babylon and Assyria
and of the ancient ones of Atlantis who did betray the people.
"I want you to know that reincarnation is
true and the souls whom you observe today fighting for freedom,
including yourselves, have come again and again and again. Fifty
thousand years again and again they have stood against these dark
ones and given their lives. They would not even consider retreat!
They would not consider it, for they know that their life is a flame.
Their life is a continuity of being. And if that flame be snuffed
out, they will come again and live again, for they serve with the
great Christ and the great Buddha. They serve, beloved, to deliver
nations and this is their reason for being.
"And when they are struck on the battlefield, when they are
massacred, when they receive that napalm, when they receive those
chemicals upon themselves and they breathe their last breath, they
are yet in prayer as they exit that body and are taken up by angels.
And they are brought to healing retreats of the angels and they
are succored and they are healed and they are cradled in the arms
of the Divine Mother until one day another mother and another womb
may bear them and they shall live to breathe again and to fight
again.
"And thus you see Palestinians bearing arms
at the tender age of ten. Yes, beloved, they are taking their stand
against a power that they can no longer fight with their bare hands.
"Beloved, realize there are some things that
are more important than anything else in your life and in the entire
world, things like integrity, like honor, like life, like human
suffering. And where there is human suffering, let the bodhisattvas
of Gautama Buddha, let them come forth and let them say to God:
“O my God, I am here! I will stand with you.
I am protected in this my nation. I am protected in America, in
Europe, in countries that are free. I am protected in Japan. Therefore
I can afford to give my life. I can afford to give my mantras. I
can afford to speak out. I can afford to write and to challenge
and to let my voice be heard.
“And by God and in the name of the
life he has given me, I will do it! And I know that, millions and
millions together, we can demand defense. We can demand righteousness.
We can demand a return to God and his law that does demand that
every single human life on earth must be sacrificed for, for life
is the gift of God and God is in that life!”

Tadeusz
Kosciuszko
Kazimierz Pulaski
Wlodzimierz Krzyzanowski
Hail, beloved! I AM Zadkiel of the Divine Presence and I come bearing
with me the fruit of spiritual desire for man's freedom and forgiveness
of self and of others in the world of form.
For the energies men have held in suspension as a result of hardness
of their heart has to the present hour, to this blessed moment, kept
the mankind of earth in a constant state of degradation.
For each time that there is an action of unforgivingness, there is
a counteraction, which produces in the world of form those unfortunate
thoughts and feelings that do not permit life to come to a state of
precious balance. Will you, then, join with me now in releasing your
feelings of frustration, of fear, and of torment. Will you in the
world order determine, that you will contribute significantly toward
the advancement of world harmony by freeing yourself through the power
and ritual of universal forgiveness from every error and error-thought
you have ever created in any past time.
For your momentum, precious ones, is always creating its record through
the power of action and reaction in the bank of the spiritual records
of God. There are some, it is true, who in a state of blissful ignorance
trip lightly on their way and do not think that they themselves matter
much in the divine scheme. Again and again the Archangels, the cosmic
beings, and the Ascended Masters have conveyed to mankind-or attempted
to do so—some full measure of awareness as to the individual's
responsibility in the world.
We stress, then, that you are the open door into octaves of Light,
that your consciousness is able to attune with the higher realms from
which we come and is able to act as a transformer of regeneration
in the world order, that mankind may feel a renewal of their right
passions toward the Godhead for the great gift of life. One of the
most marvelous applications which we have, is called the ritual of
gratitude. When, among the Seven Archangels, we stand and face the
holy east of regenerate beginning, we stand there and emanate great
waves of light, the light of our gratitude back to our divine Source
for all the energy that has ever been entrusted to us down through
the ages.
I want you to know that each one of the Archangels represents one
note in a grand cosmic scale. And when we function by levers of infinite
harmony, by harmonic patterns, there is created a music of gratitude
back to God's heart, which enables the entire system of worlds in
which we function to feel the pressure of our gratitude back to the
Godhead. This is an experiment which those of you who have some knowledge
of your affinity for certain rays can also use from day to day in
your own individual service to life.
Beloved ones, if you will only understand the infinite laws of harmony
and the power of transmutation, you will draw forth, then, the gratitude
flame from the heart of God for every gift that life has given to
you. And as you do it, as the power of that action of gratitude cascades
in mighty concentric waves of light back to the heart of the Great
Central Sun, you will find that the law of supply and demand is once
again met. For as you give, so you shall receive.
And when the heart of God is made aware of your gratitude, at that
specific moment the momentum of the Universal is touched; and the
response is a chord and a release of a[n] infinite increment of harmony
that starts out from the beginning and passes through all life-expressions
in time and space, down to the present moment right where you are,
and brings into that moment the celestial realization of the universe's
gratitude for your love and gratitude.
This is divine response. This is the cognition of you by the Deity,
a renewal of your mind that enables the world to be blessed by God's
love-flow through you. Won't you accept that now in your feeling world?
Won't you accept the pressure of that sense of God's gratitude for
your own? If you will do this, it will enable me to perform specific
acts and functions for and on behalf of the family of nations. For
today, as you have been apprised in this conference and as you have
known prior to coming here, there are many cesspools of recalcitrant
energies in the world community that cry out for redemption and change.
The need for change is apparent in the world order. The hungers of
men for change, their thirst for reality causes the angelic and cosmic
host to seek new avenues of spiritual blessing, assisting men to develop
and unfold the reality of themselves in the world of form. Now, we
want you to know that there are various moments, when the immaculate
host will temper their energies to the shorn lamb of man's identity.
This is not governed by mortal law but by immortal law; this is not
governed by human reason.
And no individual upon the planet has the power to opaque our light,
for we are able to step it up when we lower our voice or decrease
it when we raise it, and we can do it vice versa. It is not necessary,
it is quite true, that at all times we should speak in full volume
and momentum. But I say to you all, dear hearts, including those specific
ones who crave our inward knowledge and apprehension, that there are
laws governing our release of energy that you know not of that are
most glorious when understood, that enable us to do for the world
more by crying with a loud voice than when we speak softly.
For when we speak with great volume and power it enables the shard
composed of man's mortal substance that surrounds the individual psyche
to be shattered. Now, the shattering of that shard by divine light
is not an undesirable experience. When this is done by human momentums
of hatred, of resentment, of wrongly qualified energy and that energy
leaks into the aura of an individual, it has a tendency to upset and
disturb the world of the individual.
But once individuals can overcome their resentment of unusual volumes
of energy and torrents of our power, once they can adjust themselves
to the higher vibratory action and understand the law of the electrode,
which makes each individual in the room who will accept it, a vibrating
reed in the universal organ of cosmic harmony, they will see that
by maintaining the pressure of harmony in feelings in their worlds
they are able to assist us in our gigantic release of assistance to
millions upon the planet and to souls waiting at the portals of birth
and death, especially those at the portals of birth to come in with
a lesser degree of karma than would otherwise be possible.
For every activity of the Archangels is a specific activity. It is
the flow and release of torrents of universal harmony into the world
order. Because of the petulancy of generations, because of human selfishness
and a craving for expression that is not universal, men and women
have become crystallized in concepts of pain and despair. This is
not the will of heaven.
And in this age of great peril, when the year itself has cycled through
awful happenings and disturbing conditions and when the hearts of
men are failing them for fear of what is coming upon the earth, we
desire to create new visions in the consciousness of the students
of the ancient words "Behold, I make all things new. Behold,
I create a new heaven and a new earth, and the former things shall
be passed away."
For surely this generation and its lack of perception and fortitude
shall pass away, with its opportunities lost forever. But individuals
who have received the precious seed, to whom is entrusted the precious
secret, will cognize that the doorway of a new age will once again
raise men into the realization of the divine cornucopia; that they
will understand that the mystery of the Divine is a continuing one.
And the gap between the positive and negative pole is filled by the
spiritual power and energy of the Godhead, flashing forth through
myriad individuals on higher planes, dedicated to the release of Cosmic
Christ Truth. You here below, many of you, are children of destiny.
Children of destiny to whom was entrusted a specific aspect of the
white stone, children of destiny to whom was entrusted a specific
functional action in the world of form, as well as in the realm of
the invisible, to you has been given the jewels and scepter of authority
for mankind, to accept not only for presently embodied mankind the
fiats of Almighty God but to also accept for the ages the continuation
of the pulsation of the divine flame and the realization, that the
power and energy and love, the mounting dynamism of the mysteries
of heaven in the world community must expand and cannot accept the
awful crystallization of this age which has sought to imprison it
as in a cage of glass.
Men, then, passing by see this flame-flower of the divine majesty
not as a thing of action but as a frozen, qualitative activity bereft
of its quantitative action. For if the power of the universal, limitless
light were to be imprisoned, the universe would stop, activity should
cease.
And thus, albeit men have amassed and used, have garnered and imprisoned
vast quantities of the universal supply of energy into the world order
and have kept it imprisoned by the substance of gross carnal thoughts,
there still remains a universal abundance which is held in abeyance
as cosmic gifts and graces for mankind at higher levels.
And O how we yearn to impart this to men. But the Lords of Karma in
their deliberations from time to time have stressed to us in the midst
of our zeal, to carefully observe the Law lest we bestow upon an age
already bent toward destruction so much excess energy that it would
tip in the balance scales the whole structure of the age and destroy
it as it toppled in upon itself.
And therefore the restraining hand of the Lords of Karma and the wisdom
of the Divine has cut off at many moments in the history of man their
supply of energy as a deliberate action of the universal mind, calculated
to restrain the heavy hand of careless men, lest they upset the applecarts
of the world and bring toppling the heads of men in revolt, rebellion,
and disturbing outer conditions, which would not provide the avenues
of order which man ought to seek and extol as valuable episodes of
opportunity to the children of men to live and to learn those wholesome
aspects which have always enabled the fabric of society to weave the
Christ threads of spiritual illumination into their outer garments.
We want you, then, to understand that the power of transmutation is
also intelligent. Some individuals say, "If we sin again and
again, can we be forgiven?" The law of the seven times seventy,
so beautifully stated by the Christ, assures mankind of a continual
round of infinite forgiveness. But the law of the second death, which,
regardless of outer human agencies or purported statements from higher
levels, has not ceased to exist, continues to assure mankind that
if they persist in a downward course, the burning of the candle at
both ends and in the middle, they can destroy themselves or become
castaways from the Father's many mansions.
This is not the will of God, this is not the intent of God. But it
is the mercy of the Great Law, that after individuals have rejected
again and again the opportunities and life experiences which have
been given to them, they are then recalled and separated from the
outer personality, the substance of that personality and memory-cause,
effect-being cast into the infinite light known of old upon Atlantis
as the maxim light, the power of the light of the Law, the infinite
power of cosmos that stands at the dividing of the way between Light
and darkness, between the positive and the negative.
The combination of those energies strips, then, the personality of
man from the soul substance, from the spirit of man. And he is returned
as a young and fresh ego back to the heart of the Father to once again
come forth in renewed Sisyphric rounds and to be given experiences
so that he may once again begin the journey back to God's heart through
the process of restoration. But the second death involves the personality,
the cause, the effect, the record and the memory. The good and the
bad, then, if there be any good, of that lifestream is all returned
to the Universal.
This does not happen too frequently, and none of you need concern
yourself with it, but it is a factor that should alert all men to
understand that continual forgiveness is not the intention of the
Creator, forgiveness being a clearing of the record that by the power
of transmutation men might rise in the cosmic scheme. This engenders
hope in every heart and is the power of the Universal Christ to mediate
the destiny of men, to bring them to a higher order.
It should show each one of you that each person can renew themselves
in hope, in faith, and in cosmic charity and as they do so, reestablish
their relationship with the infinite and with the realm of the Archangels.
We come to assist you in your transmutation this day. We come to assist
you mightily. Members of my band, Zadkiel calls! Zadkiel calls! Zadkiel
calls! Descend and raise the vibratory action of the individuals who
are here to a realization of the power of Holy Amethyst.
Raise your consciousness. Raise the consciousness of mankind. Create
now the sacred fire jewel around the atmosphere of this room. Transmutation
rays blaze forth, creating a giant cauldron of violet flame substance.
Elohim, Elohim, Elohim of transmutation, act! Bestow now the power
of universal forgiveness upon the sons of men. Let the priests of
the sacred order of Zadkiel descend, those invisible yet tangible
beings, dedicated to the freedom of man from the records of sin, of
death, of shadow, of shame, of misuse of energy.
Examining the scrolls of each one's records, let us now, then, apply
for each one as they join with me in application to the heart of the
Karmic Lords for extensions and acts of mercy on behalf of these thy
children that the tenure of their days upon this planet should be
increased according to their noble aspirations to serve.
Those who would serve, let them, then, be extended according to the
karmic plan which was worked out by the spiritual mathematicians before
I descended, and let the gifts and graces we desire to impart, become
a tangible part of each individual's consciousness at inward levels.
It is done. It is done. It is done. It has been spoken and it is finished.
Noble is thy work, O God, and most noble thy activity of forgiveness.
From the beginning, O Lord, thou did seek to glorify and amplify the
passion of perfection in every soul. Thou didst give to each one thy
great fire rings. Thou didst give to each one thy sacred flame. Thou
didst give to each one the Spirit-spark in its natural reality and
its power to enter into the heart of every part of space and hallow
it, of every part of the stream of time and consume the dross and
release the flow of the golden hours of perfection into manifestation
forward and backward.
Out of the nexus of the present hour, then, thou did speak. And behold,
thou didst see the need to glorify thy creation with that foreknowledge
which thou hast created from the beginning.
And behold, the conveyance of that knowledge into the present moment
is the desire to see each one enter the gateway of the Eternal Now
and find that the past and the present and the future are welded into
one concentric whole, one vast diorama of spiritual beauty and purity.
Remove human fretwork. Remove the vestiges and traces of mortal worry
and the propensity to worry. Replace it by active concern for individual
and collective destiny. Remove excess concentration upon the individual
expression of the ego and replace it by a divine perception of each
individual's niche in the universal scheme. Remove from the consciousness
of man a sense of separation and integrate each soul through the power
of the Mighty God Presence into his personal, intimate contact with
his God Presence.
The Law of Love is fulfilled. The law of transmutation is acting.
And now withdraw the sacred fire jewel, for I would convey to each
one a specific bit of knowledge. The Lords of Karma have granted that
each individual that hears my words and hears this dictation shall
receive the impartation of the radiance of beloved Holy Amethyst and
myself in cosmic service to this planet to pass through the flame
of your heart for a period of one hour while you are sleeping for
the next twenty-four days, this flame of transmutation to assist you
in understanding and building a momentum, a hunger momentum, for purification
and for the expression of the natural powers of the Godhead.
I see now, as through a veil, the veil of your human creation, that
many of you have established momentums-and generated them-of limitation
for yourselves. You have actually looked up to other individuals for
the actual qualitative and quantitative release of universal power
toward perfection that ought to have manifested in your own worlds.
We speak not to condemn you but to reassure you that this need not
be a continuing factor in your evolution. >From this hour,
if you will accept it, I am giving and I am conveying a mighty tidal
release of infinite power, the power of forgiveness toward every part
of life, that will help you on the instant to forgive individuals
that formerly you have found it difficult to forgive and to forgive
yourselves and to accept the infinite forgiveness of God for yourselves
and for mankind in generating a period of mercy in the tides of life,
manifest release so that individuals and planets in this system of
worlds can be the beneficiaries of the thoughts of heaven and that
intruding mercy of heaven which comes now in this age of deceit and
trouble as a gift of God, a precious dripping of the divine ointment
upon the stone of man's recalcination.
I want you to know, then, that there are thousands of individuals
in this city that are hungry for the Word that we release, that hunger
for the vibratory action of freedom which we release into this room
upon the focal plane of your identities.
Yet because of religious bigotry, because of religious tolerations
and intolerations, they would not expose themselves to us and our
release of spiritual energy, for they know not what they do. Yet they
hunger, they thirst, they call for action, they call for revelation,
and they remain in the stultified, stratified levels of human density
in which they have long been imprisoned.
I say: let us pray for them and let us say that this hour we can effect
a release in this city that should and ought to dislodge some of them
from their lairs, that this afternoon and evening they may recognize
the need to stream into this temple, which has actually withdrawn
to a place 200 feet above the building, and remains here throughout
this conference to cap the conference with a crown of the mercy of
the violet transmuting flame, as the energy of transmutation released
from God's heart for his mercy's sake to all the children of men.
For we are concerned with the struggle for freedom that goes on in
the world domain, in Czechoslovakia, in Poland, in Russia herself,
behind the bamboo curtain in China and behind the iron curtain everywhere
and upon Cuba, that lovely island over which my temple is focused.
O how we long to see the people of that island once again released
from their feelings of antagonism toward the people of the United
States, that they would send forth the energies of regeneration until
that island would-through the natural patterns of life-once again
enter into a state of verdure, the beauty of the foliage of the land
being also reflected in the thoughts of the people, as the sense of
divine abundance would release into the world cornucopia a spirit
of loving cooperation, which naturally emanates from our temple of
transmutation.
Won't you accept, then, in God's name, those gifts [congregation rises]
which I have given you this day! Won't you accept, in God's name,
a passion for freedom, a love for freedom from the stain of discord
and oppression, self-imposed and imposed upon you by the thoughts
of others who have limited you, one and all, in various means and
have denied you that freedom of expression which God's law, functional
within yourself, would express unto all life as the abundant Life?
In the name of heaven, in the name of Saint Germain, in the name of
the Great Divine Director, in the name of every friend who has ever
embraced the banner of freedom down through the ages, I say; let us
determine that we shall succeed where others have failed.
Let us determine that this age shall accept the fruit of the endeavors
of heaven on behalf of the mankind of earth. You are enough here even
this morning, if you will accept the pressure of that in your feeling
worlds, to turn the tide in human affairs, to create a greater hunger
in the hearts of mankind and a direction toward the forces of Light
that can and will produce significant changes in the world order.
If you will accept that now, then, for and on behalf of mankind, we
will extend our gifts, according to the measured limitations of the
Karmic Lords, out into the world of form to assist all in receiving
some measure of moratorium in their world. We say, then, to the angels
of our band, go forth! Go forth to the prison houses of the world,
where men are incarcerated for various crimes, and touch them with
the coals from the altar we have established here. Let them feel,
that the forces of freedom are once again on the march and that hope
for the future includes them wherever they are.
Let us also go to the hospitals, to the old folks' homes, to the places
where individuals have a spirit of human lethargy and hopelessness.
And let us regenerate within them and charge within them our energy
of universal love, restating, then, their cosmic purpose and whispering
it into the ears of their Holy Christ Self, so that as a surge of
our energy levels goes into the dimensions of their thought and feeling
world.
It will act to stimulate not only in those individuals here but throughout
the world order a new sense and feeling of freedom, a passion for
happiness, a resurge of happiness, a feeling of divine buoyancy and
joy, as the configurations of immortality unite with man's expressions
of mortality in their imperfect forms and seek to stir within them
the perfect memory that God has placed there from the beginning.
I thank you in the name of the spiritual Hierarchy and I make my face
to shine upon you as the sun.

Speedy Adjustment of Civil Inequities through Ombudsman
"The courts of every nation are, in
the main, backlogged with hearings and investigations, making the
attainment of swift justice nearly impossible in many cases and
therefore discouraging judicial redress. The Ombudsman system used
in the Scandinavian countries fulfills the purpose of alleviating
much of this distress and other bureaucratic ills. The Ombudsman
is a special parliamentary commissioner appointed for a specific
term of office. He receives complaints of citizens aggrieved by
official or judicial action and is fully empowered to investigate
and, when necessary, seek direct legal or legislative assistance.
"Such a clearinghouse for complaints not only reconciles citizens
to government, but also prevents dedicated civil servants from unwarranted
public attacks and arbitrary action by their own departmental superiors.
It is an implement of freedom and ought to be examined by all nations
and instituted within the framework of their governmental systems
as a safety valve and means of direct action to prevent tyranny
and tragedy from holding sway while the mills of justice slowly
and painfully continue to grind away with the passing of years."

El Morya
April 9,1963 'Encyclical
on World Good Will' |
|
Beloved Goddess Vesta, Divine Complement of our Solar Logos,
Helios, gave an address on July 17, 1951, dictated via Geraldine
Innocente (trained by El Morya) of Bridge to Freedom:
"I AM the embodiment of the power of invocation by which
Universal Life and Light begin an active expression of usefulness.
"Life is the servant of flame, as Light is the natural
radiation of Life. Without any intelligent director Life would
remain forever unformed and quiescent. Within Life the Godhead
has placed every power, attribute, capacity and virtue which
is HIS. Man must learn of its Presence and how to draw forth
Its fullness! He must become vested with the power of creation.
Love of Life and a desire to understand Its nature precede
My service to the evolving soul. I then invest them with the
knowledge of Life's potentialities and their capacity to unfold
and draw forth from Life the fullness that God has incorporated
into this ever-present intelligent, vital substance. My activity
is to draw forth, mould and externalize this potential perfection
through My pupils.
" . . . The activity of the Vestal Virgins has been little
understood. They were God-egos who volunteered at certain
periods of Earth's development to take incarnation and, through
devotion to the Sacred Fire, vitalize definite causes dedicated
to further the evolution of the race. This concentrated presence
of the sacred fire, drawn earthward and sustained by the guarding
lifestreams of the Virgins, was the sustaining power of these
movements—civic, religious, artistic, educational, cultural,
etc. The Vestal Virgins were vested with power and invested
in a world cause or a local cause through My lifestream.
"For instance, an advanced being desires to bring to
the human race the art which he has developed in the octave
of Light. Working at inner levels under the Chohan of Art,
he feels the race would benefit in soul growth by seeing,
absorbing, and creating this perfect art (which up to this
point may never have been expressed on Earth before). The
Lords of Karma hear his plan and weigh his worth and capacities.
Then, looking at the World Plan, if his endeavor is auspicious
at a given hour, acquiesce to his desire to incarnate and
bring his gift to humanity. He must interest these contemporary
spirits in his cause. They must not only love him but be found
capable of offering beneficial talents, capacities, etc.,
according to their soul growth and nature. They too must be
passed by the Lords of Karma.
"If this being is fortunate enough to secure fellow-beings
willing to assist him, then the sponsor and his group come
before Me and they are individually and collectively invested
in this movement in the name of God. I take the final responsibility
for investing souls, life, time, energy, intelligence in a
cause, and the resultant effect (the failures and successes)
become My personal obligation to Life.
"The cause is carefully studied, its
possible beneficial results for the race, the nature and capacities
of the sponsor and volunteers are examined before such investment
takes place. All those invested are then in turn vested with
the power and authority of the sacred fire to draw out of
life everything their intelligence prompts them to call forth
to perfect, protect, beautify and expand the cause they serve.
They carry more power than the masses for they have been cosmically
ordained.
"During the entire course of incarnation they work consciously
or unconsciously for the cause they vowed to serve at inner
levels and, naturally, I am vitally interested in their progress.
In times of crises because of My personal responsibility I
am privileged to enter into the cause and vitalize it with
My power and Light.
" . . . To invest an individual with spiritual authority
is to confer upon their life-flame powers not previously present.
I AM the root of investment, and a powerful force in the financial
world when understood. People design a project and invest
their substance, talents and energies into it, so the project
may live and prosper. So do I invest lifestreams in cosmic
causes, working with the Lords of Karma, to further world
progress. These lifestreams represent My capital, and the
causes benefit by their presence.
"All cosmic ventures are placed before
Me by their sponsor and the Great White Brotherhood. Lifestreams
capable of assisting in carrying these missions through the
veil of incarnation must come before Me. If their light, momentum,
karma and capacities are judged sufficient for the particular
service, they are invested (together with their sponsor) with
certain additional powers and dedicated to a cause. This is
all done at inner levels and later circumstances draw people
together in the world of form when it is proper for the investment
to begin working to forward some facet of universal good.
"The cause of Freedom was born in God's Heart when the
first individualized God- flame was created, for God desired
all His creation Free!
"Many causes are set up by the Godhead directly and many
causes are born through the initiative of His children. A
cause to which a lifestream may choose to dedicate his life
is not necessarily created by the individual himself, but
it can be assumed. An individual interested in such service
may take the responsibility of carrying such a cause to mankind
so that its ultimate beneficial effect may sooner be the heritage
of the people. The Godhead may create causes. Intelligent
beings, pondering on ways to serve God's plan, may evolve
causes and bring them into the consciousness of mankind.
"When a cosmic desire of God's Heart pulsates in the
higher heavens, waiting to be claimed, ensouled and lowered
by one of His children, it is so finely attuned and vibrates
so quickly that it is neither visible nor tangible to even
tremendously-evolved beings except where their own interests
and leanings through the centuries have created in them a
similar vibration. Thus a being would have had to love freedom,
serve freedom, etc., for centuries before the cosmic pulsation
would be even discernible in the blazing Cosmic Light which
is the "desire world" of the Great Central Sun or
the physical Sun of the system.
"Such a being is Saint Germain. He finally
achieved an individual consciousness sufficiently sensitive
to perceive God's desire to bring Freedom to His creation.
When Saint Germain (among all the hearts in heaven) pierced
through God's aura and entered the Secret Place of the Most
High, he saw "unclaimed" the cause God had set up
"before the world was". One day by the nature of
its being this cause must have an effect which would be manifest
as unconditional freedom for every part and particle of His
creation. Love has answered before the call—God provided
the need!
"His heart thrilled at sharing the development and externalization
of the Father's Plan for further blessing to His children.
He loved that cause, prayed and prepared that some day he
might be worthy to ensoul it with his own flame and carry
it down to the world of men, that Its effect might externalize
on the screen of manifest expression. The Sun itself calls
the being prepared to carry his particular cause to fulfillment
either when the cosmic hour for its birth is come, or, if
some child of heaven had anticipated that hour and become
the fit vessel for its incarnation, before the hour.
"When any being becomes ready to be invested with a cosmic
cause, the law of magnetic attraction begins to pull on the
Heart of God and the cause that has lain therein starts on
Its downward course to join Itself with the consciousness
making the call from below. Thus does the Godhead become aware
of the readiness of the race for greater blessings.
"The Father called the Son—Saint Germain—in
the ripe hour, and Saint Germain in a cosmic initiation entered
the great flame of Freedom. He ensouled it with his own individualized
flame, taking full responsibility for carrying it to Earth
and letting its effect radiate through all life and all created
beings. At inner levels he worked for centuries interesting
lifestreams in that cause, until many were willing to stand
before the Lords of Karma and volunteer to invest their lives
in helping bring Freedom to the race.
"With their sponsor those who
accepted this opportunity to give Freedom to the people of
Earth were given audience before Me and each invested with
the knowledge and power of the sacred fire and the vision
of the cause in Its fullness. Then, as a corporate body together
with their Master they were cosmically invested in the cause
of Freedom—their bodies, minds, souls, natures and heritage.
None can leave that cause until its effect is manifest. All
are My investment in the name and by the desire of the God
of Love."

Hamilton (The Farmer Refuted, 23 February 1775)

obliged to evaluate the conduct of our rulers. This political judgment,
moreover, is not simply or primarily a right, but like self-preservation,

according to the God of Nature. It is the first and foremost of our
