Thoughtful Appreciation

Excerpt November 1959

It is my opportunity and joy... privilege and honor to project into your consciousness the quality of energy which is within my Flame. What is Flame? And why does humankind shy from the word?

Flame is but a concentrate of life energy which has been qualified by some Intelligence to act in a specific manner, a concentrate of energy qualified by the feeling world of some self-conscious Intelligence to act in a specific manner. As that energy, magnetized, drawn and concentrated, is charged and charged with a specific feeling, it becomes a FLAME which can and will enter into the energies and world of anyone who chooses to use it.

Now, the quality which I offer to humankind, to elemental life, to the planet itself is PATIENCE... the COSMIC FLAME OF COSMIC PATIENCE. Can you accept it in its fullness?

What is Patience, beloved ones? It is merely control of the energy of the inner and physical bodies. It is the capacity, when treating any expression of life needing assistance, to hold your energy in perfect harmony and then project it forth according to the direction of your Holy Christ Self for the accomplishment of some good purpose. I give you now an assignment - and that is to become patient men and women!

Let me differentiate, for your enlightenment, between the quality of patience and that of lethargy or indifference. The patient man or woman is positive, poised, powerful, does not allow the energy to go forth either in thought, feeling, gesture or word, until the God-Self has qualified it with its nature, and only then does it go forth in blessing.

All over this known world the waking and the sleeping, those who are aware of our activities and those who are not will be aware of the patient feeling which it has been my joy to develop; which has sustained me through the ages, and which has brought me to this day. May my love and gratitude NOW enfold the beloved planet Earth and its evolution.
