DISCOURSE IV
INVOCATION: God, Thou Central Source of
all Activity, Wisdom, and Power, We demand judgment
now, that those of Thy Children looking to
Thee may find Thy Radiance enfolding and governing
their minds, bodies, homes, and every activity.
We demand Thy Judgment be now, and that every
Heart that looks to Thee may find itself enfolded
in Thy Unconquerable Radiance. Shed forth such
Power that nothing may touch the world of these individuals
but Thy Perfect Activity; for We recognize
that out of the Fullness of Thy Presence comes the
Perfect Manifestation, the visible Presence of all
things-and so it is decreed.
Today is an opportunity to prove the atmosphere
of God [the day was very hot]. Concentrate the attention
on the region of the pineal gland, knowing
that the attention focused there will cause to take
place the balancing activity of all the centers, drawing
and giving all power to the head center. From
this center, the power of speech-which is but
thought representation -will reflect back to the vocal
center.
During this time of the contemplation, or conscious
direction of the attention to the Highest
Center, be aware of the even, balanced, rhythmic
breath. I do not mean to give it special attention,
but breathe a few times consciously, and then just
be conscious that you are breathing the rhythmic
breath. Breathe in on a count of eight; hold for eight
counts; breathe out on eight, and hold eight. Then
repeat. After doing this a few times you will get the
rhythm near enough. The activity of this consciousness
responds to the demand.
The great God Principle is above and enfolding
the form because of the Anchorage of God within
the Heart. The Seven Centers are the Points of Anchorage
of the Individualization of God in the physical
form. The pineal gland is the Point of Anchorage
and Radiation of the Great Central Sun. When we
realize this, we have come to the point where we do
not consider any of the lower centers.
Keep asking the God within what the correct activity
is to use at a specific time. Each must depend
on the direction he receives from the God within
himself. All instruction is but worded attention upon
certain things, and the Student should learn from
the words instead of the presence of the one giving it.
The Radiation will come through the words them·
selves; the words are but vehicles of conveyance of
the "Presence." The feeling and thought will become
just as accurate as the spoken word, as you depend
more and more on the Presence of God.
It is necessary to use the Consuming Flame at least
once a day. It is especially necessary among the Students
because some unknowingly open themselves to
discordant things due to mass pressure.
In the use of the Rays, try to feel with intensity the
Mighty Presence of God there, operating in whatever
color you use.
Very important-Divine Love: Keep the attention
on the fact that Love is the Controlling Power in all
conditions, always knowing it is Divine Love. This
qualifies whatever human love is there and raises it
in harmony with Divine Love. Know always that in
any Demand God is the Swtaining Power. You must
keep aware of this fact in the use of all Law. Remember
that in all conscious use of the Law, you are at all
times the determiner of the qualities you wish manifest
and maintained! No two individuals are affected
exactly alike; one has an irritation of mind, another
of body, another anxiety, another impaired health.
The constant consciousness that "God is my Perfect
Health, Wealth-and is Self-swtained," will
take one into the full visible manifestation of these
conditions. Know: "God in me is the Keeper of my
Treasure Howe; then I know God produces i'n my
visible use, great abundance, money as fast as I require
its use, and that it is never late and that all my
seeming obligations are taken care of on time. "The
joyous indifference of youth is really a letting go; and
with Love prevailing, it is the most potent Power for
Manifestation.
To Mrs. G. W. Ballard: Never let down your bars
of protection to anyone. It is wise for all to use the
consciousness that God's Activity is in this home and
all about it, and there is only God acting. In thinking
of the neighbors, know that God governs their
every activity in regard to this home. Take a thing in
the beginning, and with intensity reverse the negative
action in thought and feeling concerning it. The
seemingly deeper acceptance of the negative instead
of a positive condition in the human consciousness, is
a mental gravity pull and is due to the density of the
physical substance of the body.
A quick forceful statement: "No, you get out of
here! God Almighty is in control. " This is true up
to a certain point of Illumination: while the Inner
"Presence" always stands ready to act, the
consciousness of invitation within the Student's outer
mind seems to be imperative. The Inner "Presence"
does not intrude Itself; It must be invited.
The nature of the outer consciousness is to swing
from one extreme to the other. The Eternal Balance
is "the Middle Way"; and the desire to move in that
activity, draws and holds you there. The desire to
walk "the Middle Way" draws you and holds you in
it. The deeper the recognition and living in the "God
Presence," the quicker will the God Power act.
Electronic Activity: Wherever there is force, there
is always some point of Electronic Activity, and from
the higher standpoint it is very noticeable. The force
released by the World War is still standing in the
Earth's atmosphere, and is and will be redirected
and used constructively.
The Electrons in our atmosphere are the Emanation
from the Great Central Sun. The White Fire
Body of the "Mighty I AM Presence" and Its natural
Element qualify the Electronic Activity, the same as
each Element in itself qualifies the Electronic Activity.
The Electron is a Universal Element that is the
Spirit of God. Therefore, each Element applying or
using the Electron qualifies it according to the Element's
own sphere or activity.
In the condensation at a former time-one on
Atlantis and the other in the buried cities of the
Amazon-one was a Consuming Activity and the
other was a Life-giving Activity. All consuming is
but a re-ordering of the balancing of the atomic activity.
The Electronic Activity is always permanently
balanced within Itself. All discord is but a loss of
balance of a particular element or atom. It is only
when the electron becomes clothed in a quality that
discord is possible. The first activity of the atomic
structure is the requirement of something to qualify
it, or a need for a quality. Otherwise, it too would remain
forever perfect, and no other quality could be
imposed upon it.
Question: "Why does air in motion seem cooler
than still air?"
Saint Germain: Because the vibratory action is
raised.
The Mantle of Invisibility can be thrown around
one instantly, but the Students should establish It permanently
and consciously by the practice of visualizing
the Mantle around them. We are consciously qualifying
this Electronic Energy or Activity every moment.
Instinct is a lower form of intuition. There is only
One Presence and Power acting everywhere, so really
there are only different grades of consciousness and
activity. Words are very lame to carry a meaning
that is a feeling.
The Cross-of-Christ Currents: Recently there have
been placed Divine Currents in North America in
the shape of a cross or, in other words, in the shape
of a sword; for in this case the Cross of Christ is the
Sword of Currents. The crossbar comes just south of
the Canadian border, the hilt going up into Canada;
and the point reaches south, almost to the lower part
of Florida. Chicago comes at the strong part of the
blade, just below the hilt. These are Currents that
have been placed through the Earth by Mighty Messengers
of God.
There will come a time when this Sword and
another will cross, and Peace and Prosperity will be
in America. Where the two Swords come together,
the crossing will be almost over Chicago. These Currents
are placed above and within the Earth itself.
They penetrate about one hundred feet below the
surface of the Earth and about two hundred feet
above. This is why the surface structure of the Earth
will change; and the very ground human beings walk
on, will be the Sword of Christ.
In Nature's formation of silver some of it is dense,
and some of it is frosted and not dense. So it is with
the Earth: as the Christ Force is liberated, the Earth
itself will become much less dense. The atmosphere
of the Earth will become the balance between cold
and hot-or semi-tropical-and the moisture will be
evenly distributed. In the new Christ Activity that is
taking place, certain Dispensations are given; but to
what extent They will be given has not yet been
shown. There are times and points of activity where
Dispensations have been given that have advanced
civilization hundreds of years.
Miscellaneous Affi'rmations: " 'I AM' God's Child
and I can do everything God wants me to do, and I
do it now."
"/ clothe every atom of my world this day with Infinite
Love and Wisdom. "
"This home is the Heart of Di'vz'ne Love's Operation."
"My body is the Heart of Di'vzne Love's Operation."
"My mind is the Heart of Divine Love's Operation."
''My world is the Heart of Divine Love's Operation."
" 'I AM' the Divine Plan of the Light in perfect
physical operation now and for ever. "
Be as faithful as you can to healing physical distress,
but keep your Inner Eye on the healing of the
wounds of hate.
God within you is alive. Do not allow Him to be silenced
by thought-forms of your sense perceptions or
fears. Always remember that God and His Manifestation
are One.
Everything grows by use. All things move in cycles.
When the Cosmic Hour strikes, the whole combined
Force of the Ascended Host can be used to accomplish
a definite Purpose. There are a great many
things in which They may not interfere between
those periods; otherwise humanity would not be
where they are today. When individuals look to Us,
We may give Assistance without limit according to
their readiness to demand; but in the Cosmic Cyclic
Action, We may not interfere.
The night before any important action or before
Class, always go into the Secret Heart of God's Great
Love. Mankind and Students do not prepare the way
ahead. When one wakes in the night, one sometimes
returns to the body to anchor in the outer consciousness
something that is needed there, or that is to be
called forth when a future need arises.
When we come to a certain point of achievement
in the prevailing activity, we sometimes make contact
with Wisdom gained in previous, forgotten experiences;
and if there is a necessity, we call that
Wisdom forth and use it. In most instances it is done
unknown to the outer consciousness. If we require
knowledge that we have been conversant with in previous,
forgotten experience, it is many times easier to
recall that knowledge than to reach into the Central
Source and bring it forth from the uncreated. The
Great Law is not stingy, but it is conservative. It does
not permit any unnecessary use of Itself.
The Divine Record: Within the Divine Record of
every individual there is registered all constructive
experience. Therefore when a necessity requires it
and the Wisdom is there to be used, naturally that is
the first place to draw from. For instance, if you had
a book giving certain formulas of activity, you would
not go to another individual who had the same kind
of book, but you would look into your own book and
save the time and energy. If mankind had not forgotten
the Wisdom and Force stored within their
consciousness, they would much more readily call
upon that which is already at hand.
In all the Universe there is no wasted energy, except
in the outer activity of mankind. It is not that
the Universe can be in any way depleted, but in
order that the Student may be taught the conservative
use of that Mighty Energy. As the Student goes
deeper and deeper into this Great Wisdom, this will
become more and more apparent.
The smell of sulphur: Mrs. Ballard asked why the
smell of sulphur was so strong in the night when
there seemed to be no physical cause for it.
It is a Cosmic Process now taking place, and We
direct certain Force while you are out of the body,
in the Assistance of the Cosmic Activity. The force
released by Cosmic Activity through volcanic activity
is a force that can be consciously directed. Those
who are qualified for this particular activity while
yet retaining their physical bodies, are many times
instructed how to use this force when out of the body
during sleep- especially when a focus of it is required.
The outer sense of odor is the conscious
memory of the Activity which has already taken
place at the Inner Levels. One is likely to smell the
odor of wood, sulphur, coal, or incense. If the memory
is of sulphur or wood, it is proof that the direct
activity of the Highest Force within the Earth was
specifically required.
Raising the vibratory action: Do not let the outer
senses form a habit or get the consciousness of anything
except that all raising sensation comes in a perfect,
harmonious, natural way. Release a person
after treatment into the Wisdom and Activity of
God, knowing that It is directing the controlling of
the outer mind. When individuals are not aware of
how to raise the body, it is sometimes much better to
let them get out of the ruined temple and be free to
go on.
For the Groups to use for univer;al service: "The
Mighty Power of Divine Love and justice is now Allpowerfully
operating in the minds and outer activity
of every one of God's Children in Chicago, New York,
America, India, and China. Amen"ca will again attain
the Mighty Focus, or Spin"tual Power that She_
once had. " This Instruction comes from the Ascended
Light, and They prefer that no individuality be considered.
Let each one meditate within himself, and then
decide upon the particular Ascended Master to
whom he wishes to direct his attention, and keep this
a secret within his own Heart. The Highest of Attainment
is always to look to the God within; and if
you need help- assistance of any kind- call to One
of the Arisen Host.
