Ascended Master Discourse 14
I shall never forget the first touch of this Knowledge of which I became outwardly aware. It was when this Good Brother came to the mine with Mr. Rayborn and selected the spot where the tunnel was to be driven in—where I thought it was not possible for any value to be. Yet afterwards it proved the Wisdom of Saint Germain, even to the exact number of feet the tunnel was to be driven to reach the ore body. The tunnel did reach it and every particle of it was exactly as He said it would be.
Can you imagine what it meant to Me when I saw it all fulfilled? I am frank to say I thought Mr. Rayborn was crazy when he started that tunnel, because from a geological standpoint it was thought to be impossible for such a thing to occur. Yet it was, and is there today.
Now to return to Our Work: At the time We left for Arabia and India, We met the Beloved Leto our first night out on the Atlantic, at dinner. She immediately took us into training and taught us how to leave the body consciously and at will—and what rejoicing We experienced! I presume I was the most enthusiastic of all, for when I found I could get out of that body and be free, I did not lose any more time. It is such a joyful thing, Beloved Ones, to know that you—the Real You—are not bound to your physical body when you understand the Law and how to operate It.
Our Beloved Lady Master Leto with such great Grace and Kindliness taught Us the very first evening how to do it. We were able to go and come from the body from that time on, without further Assistance. Your Higher Mental Body, Dear Ones, is the Thinker, the Doer of all that is good. While your physical bodies might have all the faculties still in them, yet without that Stream of Energy governed by your Higher Mental Body, your “Presence,” you would not be able to move your hand or anything else.
This is one thing I wish to convey to you tonight: Everything depends upon the Acknowledgment of your “Presence”; for then your Higher Mental Body has the full Power and Authority to release whatever Mighty Intelligent Energy you require into your outer world and activity. Without such Acknowledgment, only enough energy goes forth to just sustain Life. Do you not see, Beloved Ones, how ordinary people without this Understanding of the “Presence” are using less than ten percent of the great Energy which is ready for their use? Is it not too ridiculous, too stupid for words, to think that we have not reached out with enough intensity even to God—all Light—to release these Great Inner Powers which all of us have?
With Myself, when the awakening started, it was so tremendous—and I, without knowing it, was so ready—that after the first experience of which I just spoke, concerning the activity of Mr. Rayborn, it seemed to Me there never was another doubt in My whole feeling world. I accepted everything else from then on readily and joyfully. Of course that accounts for My rapid progress and the Expansion of My own Light which took place.
Then we arrived in Arabia, in that wonderful place. Just try for a moment to feel this as I give you a little general description of how I actually felt, for I still retain that marvelous feeling. When we were driving along over the desert—nothing in sight anywhere but the low hills some distance away—suddenly the floor of the desert opened like the jaws of a great creature, and our automobile drove right in; the great jaw closed, and the desert floor was as usual.
Dear Hearts, can you imagine the feeling of one knowing so little about this Great Law as I did, when I suddenly began experiencing the marvels which came through It? Then We went into that great buried city and the great rooms underneath. There everything was spotless, and the Great Ones were moving about doing Their Work.
In Retreats of that kind, those who are serving rarely speak a word unless spoken to, because they have learned the Law of Silence and the waste of Energy which goes on through the general chatter of mankind, for it is of no particular consequence. When We observed them working, I realized as never before what a Great Being Saint Germain was.
I had seen Him do many wonderful things. The dinner He precipitated at the mine in Mr. Rayborn’s little bungalow was a marvelous thing; but the things that followed afterwards were so much more wonderful. Today what seemed so wonderful at first is quite commonplace now. They do such marvelous things in teaching the Students the use of the Light Rays. They can project Them, for They are tangible Substance, Dear Hearts! Remember always in your use of the Light, that Divine Love and Light—which are synonymous—are Self-luminous, Intelligent Substance. Therefore, when you pour out a great volume of Divine Love to someone you love—a person, place, condition, or thing—the Self-luminous, Intelligent Substance enfolds that one in the Perfection which It is. It produces for you and for them a wondrous activity.
You have all heard the Promptings of the Ascended Masters to use Their Ascended Master Consciousness. You must no doubt realize that this means the identical Self-luminous, Intelligent Substance of which We are speaking. The Consciousness of the Ascended Masters is the Substance which is charged with the Consciousness of Their Victory through Self-conscious attainment—Their Ascension.
Now mark you, when you call the Ascended Masters’ Consciousness and Substance into action in your mind, body, and your world, that carries with It the Consciousness of Their Achievement. Therefore, do you not see, Beloved Ones, that in calling forth the Ascended Masters’ Consciousness to your assistance, you are charging yourself and world with that consciousness which has already attained? Then, you see, it is so much easier and you will more readily turn and use these simple Laws of your “I AM Presence” for the Expansion of your own Light.
In the use of the Light Rays, it so happened that We all chose to render the same Service, which the Divine Director Himself said was unusual. Therefore, in Our Service since, it has been almost indescribable, the things which We have been able to accomplish individually, in state and government. This has all been done through the projection of Light Rays, which, mark you again—do not ever forget this—are Self-luminous, Intelligent Substance.
If I were to tell you some of the things that had been done in the recent strikes, and show you how the Substance of these Light Rays dissolves discord and enables individuals to reach an adjustment, you would be not only greatly delighted, but rejoice at this Service which is being rendered. It is steadily and surely dissolving and dispelling all of the vicious, discordant qualities generated by mankind. Those qualities are being used today by that which you know as the sinister force to still try to drive its destruction into mankind.
Therefore, Precious Ones, you do have sufficient understanding to call forth, as you see in the Chart, those Rays of Light pouring out from the “Presence.” You can now begin to call forth those Light Rays from the “Presence,” for They are Selfluminous, Intelligent Substance. When you call the “Presence” into action to project Them to a given point, you are rendering the identical Service that We render, only in a lesser degree. The “Presence” will always perform whatever Service you require.
Do not let your human self cause you to doubt or question, when you have called these Light Rays forth; for It will do all you require and quickly. As you practice this, you will find that you have at your finger tips the use of a Great Law. It will delight you and give you the greatest possible Happiness and Freedom—far greater than anything the outer world has to offer today!
The happiness of the human senses is but fragmentary, Beloved Ones. So few years ago, I Myself knew nothing in the outer consciousness about these Great Laws. Yet today I am able to apply Them with such astonishing Results that I never cease to marvel at it Myself. Because of the previous preparation and Expansion of My own Light, it was possible for Me to enter quickly into this Activity with Rex, My sister, and Nada.
The joke on Me was that Pearl, My sister, was being trained years before I ever dreamed of it. Even from a little girl, Saint Germain was training her. Yet she kept it perfectly silent from every living soul on Earth. When she came to Me at the mine, then We discovered she had known Saint Germain for many years already.
So Dear Ones, in mentioning these personal experiences to you, I want you to realize how little the outer self knows what is actually going on about it. Once your attention is called to this “Mighty I AM Presence” which beats your Heart, anything in the world, Beloved Ones, might take place for you. No one in the outer knows your preparation or how great the Light has expanded within you.
Tonight it has been My Privilege to observe your Light; and that is why We can, from this night, be of much greater Service to you. We see the expansion of the Light within each one of you, and know what is necessary to be done to give you the greatest Assistance. Will you not feel how much We love you, and how much We want to render you any Service which is possible and the Law of your being permits, that you too may quickly enter into the Freedom which We now experience?
Oh, Dear Ones, I wish the Law of your being permitted Me to say certain things to you tonight which I observe here. Your joy would be boundless; but you must make your Application, for only by that do you gain the permanent Victory. This is the same reason why Saint Germain would not do certain things for these Beloved Messengers. Because in the necessity of the outer world, you are compelled to make the Application which you would not do otherwise, if you had all within your use that you desired. Therefore, in your Application the Energy is released which builds a momentum that makes for your final Victory and the Ascension.
Just as the Good Brother [David Lloyd] who spoke the other night explained to you, that through His long search He gained the momentum that enabled Him to attain the Final Victory—today, in your Application and through your attention held on your “Mighty I AM Presence,” you are building a momentum which makes for your marvelous, wonderful Victory. You will achieve It! You would be amazed, some of you precious ones, if you knew the Service you could render. You know one gets sorely tempted sometimes to tell you; but only as the Law of your being permits, is it done. Tonight will you accept from Me the Encouragement, Strength, and Assurance which I know must be for your definite, certain Victory?
As you go forward in your Application of the Great Law, there are a few things which are essential. Refuse absolutely, as I see so many of you are doing, to listen to any gossip or discordant voicing of anything that comes to your ears! Refuse acceptance of it into your world! Refuse to send out discordant feeling to anything, any condition, or anyone! Then you keep yourself so harmonized, that as you call your “Presence” forth into action, Its Powers flow through like a rushing river.
You know, when you lift a gate in a dam, the water rushes forth. Your harmonious feeling maintained and your Call to the “Presence” are just like lifting the floodgates of your being; for the Mighty Power of the “Presence” rushes forth into your world, giving the Service you require. Your Call to your “Presence” is just as definite! Because you do not see It, makes no difference. The “Presence” acts and the Energy acts! Hereafter, in your Call to the “Mighty I AM Presence,” will you not feel this? Feel, every time you call to your “Presence,” that you simply lift the floodgates of your being and Its great Inner Power rushes forth to release the Service you require. I Myself have had tremendous results from this feeling, and if it will help you, then I shall be glad.
Anyone who has ever had his attention called to the “Mighty I AM Presence” can no longer be in limitation of any kind. He need not experience any kind of ill health. The instant some appearance of distress comes within yourself, or an appearance of limitation enters into your outer world, refuse acceptance of it; give it no energy to act in your world. Say to any disturbance in your body, “Get out! I refuse acceptance of all disturbance!” And it will obey positively.
As you practice this, you will have no difficulty in controlling not only the feelings in your body, but the energy which goes out into your world. You will learn to feel such a definite focus from here—your Heart Center—that It will be like a Ray of Light going out and holding Its Focus of Light steady until the work is accomplished. It is the easiest, most wonderful way of accomplishment, Beloved Ones, that could ever be conceived for mankind.
You no longer have to struggle and battle with the things of the outer world when you call the “Presence” into action to hold you firm in the Pathway of Light. Clear out of your Pathway of Light everything discordant. Call your “Presence” to take you forward quickly into all you wish to achieve, and you will have no difficulty in doing it. Your “Presence” knows no resistance or interference, and when you call It into action, It goes forth anywhere in the Universe to fulfill your Call.
If you are not having results, remember in your feeling world there is something obstructing the way. Then call the “Presence” to take out of your world whatever the obstruction is. Then, the Power of the “Presence” will flow on to do Its Perfect Work. You are not subject, Precious Ones, any longer to the conditions which exist in the outer world!
You beloved ones who are musical or have artistic talents, utilize this Knowledge of the “Presence” to Its fullest extent! Everyone can speak and sing with the Voice of the “Mighty I AM Presence.” For your hands, if you are artistically inclined or wish to play instrumental music, say: “ ‘Mighty I AM Presence,’ these are Your Hands! Take command of them! Produce Your Perfect Harmonies, Your Perfect Beauty and Perfection through them.” Then you will make your hands a perfect channel for your “Mighty I AM Presence” to use, and the most wonderful things in the world will be produced.
In My experience up until I met Saint Germain, I had not the slightest inclination to paint, and apparently no artistic temperament; but recently, I produced one of the most remarkable paintings, which I hope one day to bring forth into visibility for you. I found that whatever I called for, comes forth into action. This is what I want you to feel. Anything upon which your attention is fixed, the “Presence” will bring forth and produce the results—whether it be in music, art, the supply you require, or whatever the activity is.
It matters not, for the “Presence” will produce the result for you through the power of your attention, your vision, and qualification; but do not allow your human self at any time to interfere with that. When you make your Decree, stand by it! When you call your “Presence” into action to perform a certain service, stand by it; for nothing can stop it but yourself!
Tonight, Precious Ones, may I convey to you the Love from Pearl, Nada, Rex, Mr. and Mrs. Rayborn, and David Lloyd, who love you so greatly. They will be of great Assistance to you and all the young people of America. One day all the “I AM” Students, all young people will meet in one great conclave! Maybe you think I am prophesying—I am not prophesying; but it will be! It will be a very wonderful thing! You know, when the Ascended Masters plan something, it always works out. Is not that a wonderful thing to know? There is no human obstruction that can get in Their way. So We want you to feel this, if you will.
Remember, Beloved Ones, the Law of Life is Harmony. Harmony maintained is the Infinite Invitation for the Glory of your “Presence” to flood forth into your world, produce Its Perfection, and hold Its Dominion forever. Nothing in the world can interfere with it but yourself! The only way you can interfere with it is by inharmony in your feeling. That is easy enough for your “Presence” to control, if you will call It into action to do it.
Precious Ones, in the removing of habits or anything that you wish to get rid of, your “Presence” is the Power that does it. You but call the “Presence” into action to take out of you the desire which caused the habit, and to replace it by the Perfection of the “Presence.” No matter what it is that has been accumulated in your Life, you do not care, because the “Presence” will take out the desire and replace it by the Ascended Masters’ Satisfaction and Perfection.
This is how you can have everything that is beautiful, happy, and perfect in your Life, expressed and acting there every moment. If you so choose you can do it, and it is sure. Call your “Presence” into action to produce the results, because the human of itself does not have the sustaining power to maintain Perfection. Whatever the human does is but temporary; but by calling your “Presence” into action, you can have a sustained activity.
It is because of the temporary action of the human that mankind has had relief and then the illness or condition returns. This has occurred simply because individuals did not know the Sustaining Power or Qualification. Before they knew it, the feelings became discordant and they began to accept the old condition again in the feeling. Then the whole thing recoiled. This is not so in your Understanding of the “Presence,” when calling It into Action.
So tonight, with all the Love of My Heart, I convey to you the Love and Blessings of those who love you so much more than you can know in the outer, and who stand ready to give every Assistance. When you have called the “Mighty I AM Presence” into action, do not hesitate to call upon any of Us; and whatever Assistance We can give, you may be sure will be given.
We want you to go forth so victorious, so marvelous in your achievement! Do not let the human opinions of the outer world govern you. Stand firm in your “Mighty I AM Presence,” calling It forth into action; and do not allow anyone to make you feel that you are being deprived of any human sense activity. That is where you need to be firm and stand your ground against the suggestion of people who do not understand this Law. Such great strength is within you that I am sure no one of you will have any difficulty in holding your own in and with your “Mighty I AM Presence.” With all the Love of Our Beings, We pour forth to you like a Mighty River Its Eternal Perfection. I thank you.
