ASCENSION DAY
May 14, 1953
And when the days of thy pilgrimage are accomplished and the record of thy
energies are finally written into the substance of Akasha, and the Guardian
Spirit of Justice takes the scroll from the Christ Self who has endowed thee
with the precious and priceless Gift of Life; when the Elemental Kingdom has
spoken and recorded all the substance and energy invested in sustaining thy
bodies through the centuries, as the garments of thy soul; when there have been
called before the Throne all those lives - human, elemental, animal, vegetable
and mineral that thou hast blessed and benefited and who are richer in evolution
by reason of thy being, only then sounds the note of thy victorious achievement
and, through the Great Halls of the Lords of Karma will pass thy soul triumphant
to its just reward.
Ah, how many countless rounds of incarnation hast thou passed through in the
endeavor to achieve the fullness of thy purpose unto the hour when thy Christ
Self bids thee arise and, with the hand of Mercy, cuts the last ties and bonds
of earthly attachments and desires, and thy soul, unweighted by the shadows of
the long centuries, surges upward into the embrace of thy Divinity and the two
become ONE in the Ascension into the Light.
On the Anniversary of the Ascension of the Beloved Master Jesus who has been the
Way-shower for mankind for the past two thousand years, we ask the Father of All
Life and the Great Beings who represent the Spiritual Sons and Daughters of
Heaven to bless him for the strength of his lifestream, that enabled him to live
through an entire embodiment, suffering all the limitations that are the
heritage of physical incarnation, and yet not qualifying one electron with the
imperfection which would have been a tie on his spotless Soul at the hour when
the call for his great public Ascension came.
Knowing full well that not only a life of purity, selflessness and love were the
pre-requisites to the fulfillment of this example, but also the control of the
personal love he felt for his mother, his Disciples and his friends, which would
bid him stay to guard and protect them, rather than accept his own freedom and
let them go, he once again humbly bowed his head to the Fiat of the Cosmic Law,
and trustfully placing his own Life and that of those he loved in the Loving
Hands of the One Eternal Father, he ascended joyously and triumphantly into his
Universal Freedom and Cosmic Service in God's Kingdom.
Beloved Jesus! For this renunciation; for this Divine Wisdom and Trust; for the
Ascension; for your Blessed Self, we thank thee and we thank the Father of all
Life for what thy Presence in the Universe has meant and still means to this
planet and the evolving life upon it.
