 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.
