ON THE NAME OF JESUS
Excerpts of a Recent Address by Saint Germain
I greet you, Beloved Friends, in the name of the Ascended Jesus Christ. Do these
words not strike a chord through your secret hearts? How often in the centuries
gone by when the worship of the One God was denied through the ruling factions
of that day, did we gather in catacombs and caverns, hooded and robed, knowing
not each other's faces, charlatans standing by the side of Masters, and only the
name of Jesus as protection against a fate worse than physical death!
Oh, the strength and power within the Name of that Blessed Brother! Many a
Saint, releasing the soul from a body on a burning pyre, entered the Heart of
Heaven on that name! Many a discarnate found the gates of hell to open before
the mercy of that name, and many a desperate member of the human race found
surcease from pain and agony and confusion through its magic, potent power! How
often I have pondered on the life lived by that Brother which has made of his
very name a natural protection against evil and deception and confusion and all
the forces of darkness! So, again I bring to your remembrance the power within
the name of Jesus. Use it freely in your individual applications, where you find
questions arising unbidden from within or pressure of uncertainties pressing
upon you from without.
I have come today from the Heart of that glorious Mountain where the Brothers
and Sisters of Heaven are gathering with such great hope and gladness in their
Hearts to see the progress which has been made possible through the endeavors of
those of you who have chosen to respond to my present Endeavor.
Oh, if you could see as I do the sincerity and devotion and love within each of
your hearts, then you would love, as I do, each one who has made possible a new
opportunity for us to convey to mankind the plans that rest within the bosom of
the Eternal Father, but which can be externalized only through incarnate spirits
desiring to know the Will of God.
I remember in early ages, now long forgotten, how I, with others, enjoyed the
feeling of God's love, we were like small chickens enjoying the comfort and
protection of the wing of the mother hen. We then had no particular desire to
participate in the design and plan of this Great Being, whose warmth of Love we
absorbed and in whose Presence we found such Peace, but there came a day when we
grew to enough maturity of spirit that our love no longer chose just proximity,
but rather desired to further the Cause of our Beloved Father and to know
something of the reason for the outpouring of his great Energy. We were then
introduced to the Will of God, the Design and Plan, and we were given the
freedom to tie our own energies, graded according to the quality of our nature,
into helping externalize that Plan. You, Beloved Friends of Life, are at that
same point of spiritual maturity, where religion no longer means a relaxation of
your own emotional bodies or a personal peace. You have, before the Cosmic Law,
offered to participate in carrying the Consciousness, Will and Design of God
into the receptive minds of those who have not yet developed themselves to a
place where they may perceive that Design, but yet are willing to abide in it
and harness the individual energies of their lives to forwarding that Cause, if
a way and means can be devised to reach them.
You have no idea of the tremendous strength of your lives, individually, to have
stood through these years and continued to serve, working with an invisible
power, living the code of purity and honor which has made you the target for
much which I do not care to describe. I cannot commend you too highly for your
fidelity and constancy and, greater still, for the fact that you continue to
believe in God and Good although your souls have been singed and your minds have
been disillusioned!
My eternal, individual, personal, conscious Gratitude I offer to each of you,
individually, because it is a difficult thing to maintain one's faith in the
integrity of a Being, who through force of circumstances, must work through the
consciousness of another, and seemingly confute the Law of Love and Justice.
Such Friends as you make our exile from the glorious peace of Heaven a happy
one!
You know, yourselves, the peace within the heart when there is one who believes
in you but until the day that the curtain of maya parts and I may stand before
you face to face and prove my presence and reality, I am dependent upon your
Faith and Constancy for our unbroken Friendship.
Let me take your hand for a moment, as I have done so often when you laid down
those bodies at night time, and draw you out of the atmosphere of the earth
where you can look upon the sun and planets that make up our system, and let you
just feel the relief and release that come from standing in that Christ Estate,
rather than enmeshed in the problems and confusion of the realm in which you
chose to work.
Standing thus, as we have done so many evenings, you can hear the music of the
spheres; the song of the Sun; the melody of the planets, and, if you listen
carefully, you will hear the overlapping of the tones of the other planets,
endeavoring to cover the silence where the keynote from the earth should rise
and join that song; for the mercy of life is such that the belt of energy
encircling our shrouded star does not allow that cry of pain and agony to
interfere with the music of interstellar space. It is just as if one key on the
piano did not play to the discriminating ear of the musician the absence of that
note is evident but the careful artist can so arrange his chords that to the
average man it would not be apparent.
The brilliance of the stars and planets are easily discernible to your inner
sight, but the appearance of the earth is like a grey, revolving shroud, and
that dear earth is what you serve. It is to such concentration of energy that
you and I and others have tied our energy so that one day she may shine like her
sister planets and the belt of substance encasing her dissonance will be melted
and the Song of Freedom complete the anthem of our Universal Composition.
Coming closer, I want to point your attention to the Solar Devas. If it were not
for their intervention the glorious Light from the physical Sun would not
interpenetrate that human fog that makes for her climatic conditions and often
obliterates the clarity of the blue sky that men enjoy. I would point out to you
the investment of energy on the part of the Beings of Nature the investment of
interest on the part of the Angelic Host and the great Devas of Form. When you
enter into the atmosphere of the earth and you can hear that cry as the earth
turns on her axis, and every twelve hours feel the break in the rhythm as it
hits the low point, you will see with me the opportunity for service that is
within your individual grasp.
I have endeavored for so many centuries to interest a group of people in freeing
Life. Again, again and again, certain individuals have responded, but to hold
the vision before them powerfully enough to keep their enthusiasm stirred
through all the long and tedious years of human life is a task for Hercules.
We do welcome every opportunity to speak to your conscious outer minds, to
remind you again of that which you know and desire in the freedom of your inner
bodies, to fan those fires of enthusiasm and keep them burning in the hope that
you will endure unto the end, for that is the secret of leadership for those who
are working with lesser minds.
To try to paint a picture is well, but to hold it as a living, breathing,
palpable manifestation that can be achieved takes a mighty drive of energy. To
keep that vision alive among a corporate group made up of individual lifestreams
whose doubts and fears and selfish interests invert their sight and
consciousness again and yet again is no small task. Just as in voyaging across
the Atlantic, I tried through sweat, tenacity and prayer and what is no less
important, the contagion which lies within the repetition of a vision until the
consciousness of those upon whom you depend to bring that vision to fruition can
accept it as a fact, to keep my crew from abandoning our quest. Every being
incarnate who has ever drawn forth anything more than the average consciousness
which the masses enjoy, has not only had to hold that vision against his own
weaknesses, but has had to drive the energy of his own life into the resisting
mass consciousness of the race, and, in ridicule, privation and often bodily
discomfort, manifest that vision, if he were able to endure to the end.
I know, for I have been there but now I am here by your side willing to fire you
with the Love of Freedom, with Hope, with Conviction and to assist you as I have
done through the ages to bring the Vision of a World Brotherhood into form and
being.
Proceed in Peace, in the name of the One Supreme God and the Beloved Jesus, in
the name of your own Beautiful Presence and you shall not be deceived... you
SHALL become ourselves in action.
The Devas came this morning, as they always do prior to a visitation from any
Member of our Brotherhood, to prepare the canopy of force so that our feeling of
conviction when released, might saturate your inner consciousnesses before it
spreads out into the world. If you, individually, in the coming days and months
and years could take your pattern from this and prepare your soul for meeting
with us, so much more could be anchored into your inner bodies.
For days and weeks and months prior to a Visitation, the Holy Men of India,
China and Asia proper, prepare their inner bodies in such communion as we now
enjoy so that not one ounce of energy might be lost. The Western World lives so
rapidly and you hurry from activity to activity with such little time for
preparation of the soul... yet we prepare for days before we come sometimes for
weeks before we come... and we take action in council and decide which one will
bring the Gift of Radiation, to give the greatest assistance. I, myself, go for
an hour into the Heart of Silence before I would presume to speak to the Sons of
Men.
We have much prepared for you individually and as a unit when we can join you as
one body, with the lips sealed and with the hearts open to love, so that these
powers of the Sacred Fire through you may manifest. but until that body has
learned to hold our words in STRICT CONFIDENCE we cannot impart these deeper
Truths. I feel, however, that it will come, for I know you well, love you
deeply. Yes, this I shall prove in fact, for I am not a man of fancy. I have
worked with Inventors, Explorers, Scholars and Scientists, and my entire
lifestream is strictly charged with practicality. This, my beloved friends. I
shall prove to you in the days and years ahead.
I thank you for the privilege of entering into your hearts. I have enjoyed so
fully the exquisite music and long for the day when this song can be sung
collectively in every home before the activities of the day begin, that I may
return on its upward-flowing currents, my gift of the Violet Flame, to be the
Purifying Action within that home for the ensuing twenty-four period. It gives
me more pleasure even than yourselves and I thank you for your individual
endeavors in my name.
