Masters of Wisdom Speak
MAHA CHOHAN
When the chela finds the Master, whose aura corresponds with his own natural
tone and keynote, he there takes up his abode. Then comes one of the most
difficult periods for the neophyte because his own jangled and discordant
personality may be very uncomfortable within the Presence of the Master whom he
has chosen to emulate. Many cannot remain and put off their Day of Attainment by
their own self-conscious choice, but those who do remain eventually find that
the vibration of the Master channels their own energy and while they seem to be
rather negative absorbers for a time, they then begin to consciously create
through their own Presence, as the Master does, and they pass from the state of
the neophyte to that of the adept. Here in the West, where the search for the
Master is a mystic one, when the lifestream chooses the Master, he does not
abide long enough within his vibration and hence we have not found the affinity
which is requisite to embody his nature. I would therefore suggest that the
contemplation of your Master become the backbone of your application for results
of a permanent and lasting nature.
EL MORYA
You are working to set Life free, no matter what the form in which it is bound -
Life, the Great Beautiful Pulsing Flame of God, that is alive within the heart,
no matter how deeply encased in the bonds of flesh and matter.
If you would serve God and your fellowman, remember that your sole dealing is
with Life, and look not for gratitude, nor love, nor cooperation from the
masquerading garments that Life has drawn about its reality.
Salute the God life within every heart and bend every effort of mind and soul
and will to the releasing and redemption of that God. Hear the mute appeal of
Life encased in every breast and set it free. Work and toil in that Service,
touching the wand of Freedom to the manifestations of Life wherever you meet
them, and rest not until all Life is free.
While any manifestation of Life is cased round in imperfection or pain or
distortion, there is part of yourself that is not free... any more than if any
member of your body knows pain, is your body at perfect peace!
KUTHUMI
The only REALITY without beginning and without end is the World of Cosmic Cause
within which are points of consciousness known as Angels, Devas, Gods or men.
Each point of consciousness interprets this great Universal world according to
its particular abilities - writer, painter, artist, pianist, etc. The Master, or
Enlightened One, has become ONE with the Great Universal I AM Presence and
dwells completely in the World of the Real, projecting forth on the screen of
maya a true representation of the Divine Image.
Unawakened mankind project forth, or externalize as their environment, their
physical bodies and their varied experiences that which their consciousness
believes to be true.
Paul,
The Venetian Master

SERAPIS BEY
Mankind is a slave to the artificial element which has been created as the
measuring rod of growth, unfoldment and accomplishment and which was primarily
established to be a guide to the intellect wherein it could measure the
cooperative flow of nature's forces from season to season.
TIME has become the oppressor and the human body outpictures the disintegration
and ultimate dissolution resulting from the belief in the subjection of the
consciousness to this artificial mechanical measurement.
In the search for the development of the spiritual consciousness, however, the
student must come to the realization that the entity of time must be reckoned
with and dismissed from the consciousness as a limiting condition under which
all development lies subjective, the eternal NOW must be contemplated and
entertained as the ONLY quality of Being both with regard to spiritual
illumination and with regard to financial freedom, health, eternal youth, etc.
HILARION
The individual soars to great heights when his attention is one-pointed on some
constructive quality and he tunes in for a moment to the heights of happiness
and bliss, but, through the power of free will, he can likewise tune in to any
of the viciously qualified strata and suffers the reactions as they flow into
his bodies.
Now, the Ascended Master Consciousness is CONSCIOUSLY SUSTAINED ATTENTION upon
the constructive rates of vibration that never descend below Tolerance, Harmony,
Peace, Faith, Love, Understanding and Desire for Service.
As these qualities are invited and as the individual HOLDS HIS CUP up above the
seething flowing streams of human discord, he begins to experience a steady
radiation of Light and Life and thus the Ascended Masters' Consciousness is
attained and sustained by conscious endeavor.
You may go with you CUP (attention), where you will, you may fill it at whatever fount you choose you may drink of the muddy waters of mankind's swill or you may, through conscious effort, sip the nectar of the Gods.
JESUS
All men choose consciously or unconsciously whatever state of consciousness
within which they wish to live, but the awakened chela has the opportunity to
tune into and dwell within the Ascended Jesus Christ Consciousness until it
becomes as much a part of his nature as the human consciousness of the world
which before his awakening affected his mannerisms, characteristics and
reactions.
Having achieved the ultimate Glory of the Ascension through the sustained
consciousness of GOOD, I refused to entertain evil, and that Consciousness which
I AM can be a tremendous resurrecting power when drawn through your own
consciousness, as a Great Flame enfolds the lesser and the two become ONE.
If the weight and pressure of the human consciousness finds your soul unable to
aspire, the invocation of my Consciousness through your own can do much to
disconnect the lifestream from the contemplation of imperfection and anchor it
again into a sustained endeavor to live within the consciousness of GOOD alone,
which is the mutual or shared consciousness of every Perfected Being, of Angels
and of Solar Lords.
SAINT GERMAIN
After the personal self is shorn of all sense of importance and vanity; after it
finds itself to be nothing, then the Spirit begins to raise the consciousness
gently, but in a sustained manner, to greater and greater heights, from whence
there is no returning to the snares of the senses. This is a voluntary,
individual process in which no other lifestream can interfere. The soul loses
all sense of personal responsibility and yet in losing that sense of personal
responsibility for any particular part of life, it becomes aware of a universal
responsibility for life everywhere. This freedom from the chains of serving the
personal brings the Spirit to an understanding of the words of our Great Master
"When I am lifted up so are all men," and the ascending consciousness climbing
the Mount of Attainment becomes a quickening power of the entire consciousness
of all peoples.
Whilst one still feels bound to any distinct and separate part of life he has
not yet set foot upon the upper regions of the Holy Mount. When one stands
naked, stripped of all individual attraction, and has replaced love of part for
love of all, then the Great Cosmic Law, like the winged eagle, swoops downward
and carries the individual consciousness on its broad back quickly to a point of
union with Divinity.
