THIS hour I tell you that which
hath its import unto your spirits; I tell you of celestial ministrations in
your behalf; I tell you of principals and powers bent unto your instruction.
2 Behold it is of fact that in the
higher realms of life there is a system that classifieth spirits into groups
according to their willingness to be of assistance unto others.
3 At the head is the Christ Group,
or group of Christ Souls, who have suffered so greatly in other worlds and in
other forms that the essence of Self becometh utterly lost.
4 So deep hath been their
experience at living, so apt hath been their instruction by vicissitude, so
cleverly have they responded to the stimuli of pain and pleasure, that they
have made for themselves crowns of rejoicing in service for others.
5 This group compriseth artists and
musicians, great lovers of humanity, leaders in great movements, divine
expounders of truths, persons who have given of themselves so utterly that no
more giving appeareth to them possible.
6 They have come to earth from
other planets, not earthly born, not knowing always Golgotha of reincarnation.
7 These persons, beloved, have no minds
of their own; they do live for others so completely that the real joys and
sorrows of others are their joys and sorrows; they do live the lives of others,
experience on experience.
8 They do manifest in flesh but
rarely, and then only for great purposes involving earthly leadership; they go
down into flesh when great events portend having as their essence the heart of
humanity in jeopardy to itself.
9 These persons have errands to
perform of special tenor; they manifest according to plan agreed upon
beforehand; they come and go at behest of a leader, usually the wisest and
holiest among them.
10 I say, beloved, there are those
amongst you of this order; they have known of old when labors were required to
ennoble the race.
11 Counsel hath been taken, when
such work portended among the groups of the anointed; those best equipped by
past experience and service did make themselves eager to be of more service
still; they have cried for an appointment; they have begged for a commission.
12 But know ye, beloved, that
coming thus in flesh is a painful experience for those so finely grained;
verily the vibrations and handicaps of flesh are abhorrent unto them.
13 To such do I address myself.
14 I say unto them, Ye didst come
into flesh by the mother route; ye didst volunteer to go down into human embryo
and manifest through painful years to adolescence, before reaching your years
of stature in service.
15 Know that ye didst go through
this mother route to temper you in the use of your bodies and their faculties
and to acquaint yourselves with the type of civilization in which ye do
manifest.
16 There come unto you those of
your own company, therefore, supplying you with equipment, serving you, making
you to understand who ye may be, that ye may do that for which ye have
bargained.
17 To such I say further: ye didst
bargain to help save the race from itself; ye didst bargain with me thus:
18 We go down into flesh on a
condition that we have help of a high, high order: ministers must protect us
else our lives be wasted and the years of our childhood be cast away futilely.
19 Members of the Council shall be
our mentors, vibrating about us and helping us from appetites and lusts that
destroy the stamina of physical flesh, or spirit with flesh, for flesh may so
influence Spirit that Spirit cannot manifest; thereat is evil.
20 We are to have mentors too in
all the holy ones who have given their lives to civilizations in times past,
that we may draw upon their experiences and use them as our guides.
21 Thus was the bargain, thus was
the traffic, thus was the pact.
22 Behold it was accepted; there
was equity in it.
23 I say there are those of you in
life who didst make a pact under these conditions; I tell you further, a pact
is a pact; once given, beloved, it endureth forever; pure thought hath it not
otherwise.
24 I say unto these souls, Your
pact was righteous, therefore escaping it cannot be consummated though ye do
die the deaths of the despised.
25 Behold this pact is not known
unto any but the Christ Group: I say remember it on a thousand days and
occasions yet to come.
26 All the mighty of the earth,
verily the truly mighty, are members of this group.
27 Some manifest in flesh today
like unto yourselves; far greater, however, is the number gone on into the
higher and ever higher planes.
28 They do have this in common with
you, I tell you: when they function in your behalf, they know of your
designings, they perceive your attainments, they sense your longings and
requirements.
29 That is their mission and part of
the pact, to supply you and protect you, to nurture and sustain you.
30 They come and go in your
affairs, seen and unseen, heard and unheard, noted and unnoted; they say unto
you, We are here at your behest, on your behalf, loving you in that ye didst come
from that group whose playing is perfect love.
31 My beloved, hear my words: I am
at the head of the group of sacrificial ones; bestowed upon me was the
leadership of that group in that I would sacrifice most, going down into flesh
times of greatest number, suffering most terribly most of those times.
32 Those who make up the group were
created by that Spirit whom men call the Father, for purposes of ministering;
therefore ye who do minister most are greatest, and he who is greatest in
service is leader.
33 Mark this well. As ye do lead in
flesh, he who is greatest is therefore greatest servant; he ordereth most who
serveth most; he proclaimeth most who saith least; he directeth most who giveth
fewest directions.
34 Make this clear unto yourselves:
let your wits dwell upon it.
35 I say that such as are among you
thus to serve, come not back unto us ever until the work be finished,
else would be upset vast courses of event long in shaping, involving forces not
to be mentioned when our discourse hath a briefness.
36 Did I not say unto my disciples,
Verily I tell you there are those among you who shall not taste of death until
I come again?
37 Were not those disciples of the
serving ones?
38 Whereof can Mammon say with a
certainty that they have ever died? is it death for consciousness to pass from
body unto body?
39 Verily I tell you, they know
themselves.
40 They have stayed and done their
labor nobly and well, for in Thought was it projected that they should do this
thing.
41 Behold therefore I say unto all
serving ones: Ye are modern disciples, ye belong to the Group.
42 Your labor is twofold: Ye do
open your hearts to possibilities of service to the race; ye do close your
minds to opportunities for self-exploitation and aggrandizement that have no
bearing on the Plan.
43 Men come and go who have a
bearing on this work in flesh; they meet and recognize you as those of vast
responsibilities; they say, Lo, these have equipment pleasing unto our desires.
44 Others come and say, Aid us, we
implore you, in that we express ourselves through you beauteously.
45 They have no malice, they would
make no mischiefs, but I tell you they are ignorant of that which was bargained
on between the members of the group.
46 Wouldst ye do a great deed? then
distractions offend.
47 Wouldst ye achieve a great
purpose? then roilings are offensive.
48 Harken further: not everyone who
cometh unto you crying,
Give us succor we implore you, is
worthy of that succor;
49 Compassion, I tell you, entereth
not into it; lo, we have compassion for all souls but the work cometh first.
50 Thousands and millions can offer
compassion, but few indeed are called to the work, or do that work well.
51 I say unto those among you who
have come to earth serving, Ye are heckled by well-wishers, your friends are
your distractions; artists seek expression for their arts, all of them ye treat
with;
52 But I say it is not right that
your loyalty and fealty be sapped; it belongeth to me, it belongeth to the
group, having come from it yourselves, and with all members of the group
diverting themselves from their higher callings in that they may aid you.
53 Hear me further. . . .
NO MAN hath gone into life and come
out that he hath not said unto himself: I have blundered grievously; would that
I might instruct those of earth not to make mine errors.
2 Even the murderer feeleth
remorse; each and every one longeth for retribution and seeketh it in karma by
sending back to earth projections of himself through the products of his mind.
3 That is as it should be, hear me
say it; but I tell you that mind products are not of value unless they are
applied through someone who hath influence, being great in office or powerful
in capability.
4 This, my beloved, shall be your
affliction, in that ye are who ye are.
5 Men shall surround you begging
you piteously to give them expression on your earth plane, thereby leaving them
goodly works to balance their oversights within the stream of karma.
6 They shall ask you to give of
your time and effort, helping them to help the race, and in cases, I say, it is
meet that ye do it.
7 But harken, harken: Give not of
yourselves that which belongeth to your group or to its Leader, lest ye injure
the Pact and jeopardize the purpose.
8 Give not of yourselves to the
hurt of the group, for behold your obligation is first to those who make it a
living reality.
9 For are they not waiting upon
you, directing offices or events, which ye do thwart or destroy by sacrilegious
bickerings of individuals over this or that petty circumstance in their
affairs?
10 My beloved, harken to my voice:
Ye do see pictures that come at the wish of my ministers; demons do not send
them; behold likewise there are sent to you symbols of the failures of those
who have lived, and ye do know them as symbols for such failures, marking them
not as symbols for the living, even yourselves who do a goodly service.
11 Men come unto you who say,
Behold we have deeds and crimes to assuage; one touch of your hands, one glance
of your eyes, enableth us to be right with ourselves; do these things for us
that we may know peace.
12 I say, Touch them not, my
beloved; give them no glance, else do ye wrong them.
13 Suffer each man to live his own
life and die his own death; sympathize not to his hurt, my beloved; condole
only with those who say, We bring our all to the altar as it pleaseth God;
14 For verily they have need of
your condolence, being made of griefs to learn self-sacrifice.
15 I say unto you, Unless ye do
distinguish between the worthy and unworthy, ye can make no progress, for those
most in need of helping themselves will ask most of you.
16 I tell you that ye are coming to
human changes of an order; ye are meeting with those who are sent unto you for
purpose.
17 Go toward each of them
confidently, knowing that your group sendeth you to meet them out of omnipotent
wisdom, seeing the result in that which men call karma.
18 Teach those who come into your
affairs who merit such teaching by their displays of self-reliance; guide them,
my beloved, as ye wouldst be guided; give them of yourselves and watch
carefully that which happeneth.
19 Verily is it written that he who
giveth himself with moderation shall receive the rewards of those who are
righteous, whilst he who giveth himself with a tumult meeteth the judgments of
those who give wisdom. . . . . .
