Scripture Reading: I Timothy

Greetings, beloveds. We are in attunement with you and we would encourage you to keep this same vibration which you have so willingly held. It is much easier to attain this when you have come apart from the outside world, have come in with nothing on your minds but to attune to this higher Christ consciousness, coming into the realization of that which you are. Your prayers, being from that higher nature of you, are thus more effective--the light that you send out is more effective. You are beginning to see results and are coming up the steps, as it were, for we have led you into higher peaks of realization.

You have had confirmation of this in the healing results of other work that you have done. All these bear witness. Each of you has had experiences within your inner realization. When we spoke to groups ten years ago we explained that we were assisting, were leading souls into the steps which would move them toward their fulfilment. It would be like climbing the steps of a great pyramid, with the Christ the capstone. It is the seed that was in you long ago that was finally to break through and be raised up to be the capstone of your beings Finally the attainment of the Christhood.

You are coming up now to where you can see that a change is taking place within you. It has been a long and arduous journeye You've all been unfolding step by step, the desires within you prompting and. opening doors before you, until you consciously walk through each door. You have not understood all the steps which you took, nor the initiations through which you passed, and you are not through now. But you are having a certain breakthrough of consciousness. For a long, long time these deep desires have been bringing you to a point of greater realization. Full realization does not come all at once. It takes place practically cell by cell, that you come into greater light, come into the realization of the larger picture, the larger plan that your Father will reveal to you as you move step by step into further light.

There are those who may not understand nor. grasp these sessions. They will in time. There will be others who will tune in as though they had been here physically. According to the development of the soul will they grasp the reality of what is taking place here. We had told you that it would be symbolic of your coming up the way with your Lord, coming into the upper room and into fourth-dimensional discipleship. Some of you may not have understood this, but the plan moves on just the same. Those who have the capacity in the soul to receive and to comprehend will move with it. Others will bide their time, and this is as it should bee

The Scripture readings that we have brought with each session may not be of great interest to you, but they are to be reminders to let you know that you are the early followers of the Master, that you are to pick up where you consciously left off; and that many of the things over which man would argue and dispute are his own and not the ways of the Lord. You are to put away these things that bring discord, and focus upon your Lord and Master. Then all things shall fall into place.

You transcend much,,and when you go with a grateful heart, a thankful heart for all that you receive, and you desire to be in alignment with the Father's will, then the Spirit shall move you into place, and the true purposes i shall be accomplished. You put down that which you have believed to be necessary, and you love your God, desire alignment with His will, move with His purposes, learn to be still and let the Spirit manifest in you. All of these things work together for good.

There will be those in their homes meditating, tuning in with many of these sessions, that they will be in alignment with this power. They will also receive on these vibrations as they hear these tapes and will have much the Same experience that you are having here, but there are different pleteaus. Some will go to the top of one plateau and receive food of the Spirit; others will climb to the next one. Others will see their Shepherd and will literally follow Him all the way, wmtil He has brought the seed in each to complete fulfilment in the Father's plan. Many can only go so far and then must waits; each soul has a point of limitation until it expands enough to move into the reality of greater vision. Then there is no time nor distance, no limitation. Each has the freedom of soul to reach attainment, but only the Father within, the power of the Holy Spirit will do the great works.

Many angels are gathered to minister unto the children of God, to assist according to their invitation and acceptance. This is a great dramae There are thousands of celestial ships around your planet in its crucial time, these few years ahead--the most crucial for many ages. And yet the Father, looking beyond, has already known and made ready your assistance. <A host draws near esHeaven draws closer unto Earthe

Higher charges of creative force coming through as great light shall burn out that on Earth which is not of the plan of God, Nothing can stand in the midst of this power unless it be of a matching frequency of light energies. Thus a mirage, an illusion, a nightmare will disappear, and when those of true motives, desiring God's will to be done, move forward willingly in line with His plan, they shall inherit the Kingdom. Those who have refused to follow in obedience to God's laws will be drawn back, suspended to await their turn. For the work would not be accomplished if they remained during the time of the Age of Light. They could not bear the strength of that Light, so they shall be mercifully protected from it.

Events will begin to take place quite rapidly in this next year or two. Then you must already have the strength to keep your balance in the midst of turmoil. Most surely you will thank God then that you were prepared in these quieter times. As the changes take place you will be able to cope with things that you have not experienced before, for your Lord knows of your needs before you yourself recognize them. You are being changed within and many of you are having some of these experiences already. Have no fear. Trust the Lord Who created you as He renews your souls, as He molds you into that of the perfect plan.

So it shall continue. As energies build up stronger and stronger in you, you shall feel them as currents moving through. They are not pemitted to build too rapidly, for it would upset your balance. You are gradually coming into stronger light, stronger power, and by your motives and desires and willing ness and the degree of love in which you move shall all these things come into balance. Trust in your Lord; know that there is an active change taking place and that in His wisdom you are being raised up for His purposes. He cares for you, whether it be known to your outer consciousness or note

Your soul is being strengthened in these days, and in the nights when in soul flight you are carried farther into light frequencies than you have

been accustomed to. When you come back into the body you may or may not remember it and the body may feel somewhat uncomfortable at times, but it is the price you must pay if you are to move on; now is the time for preparation. The greater the realization that takes place within you the more readily can you accept the changes that the Father brings into your being. It is a holy time, when you draw apart and come into the consciousness of the upper room with your Lord. This is why it is necessary that you come out of the world into a place of raised con-sciousness, this place prepared before your arrivale

Mortal minds will question such things, but it does not matter, except that these delay their own progress toward this oneness of consciousness. You each enter into it according to the degree of your faith. That faith shall make you whole. It means complete renewal through a quickening by the Spirit, and the soul is raised up in new energy, new life. Then the storms may blows your life--your house built on a solid rock--will not topple when these times come. If it is built on shifting sands, if you have put your faith in man-made doctrines, you will not have stability. But the Lord knoweth your desires, your motives--the secret yearnings of your heart--and he is coming to meet them in ways you do not understand. He knows all needs and will meet them, and you will be raised up in His consciousness.

We have taken you slowly, that you enter into the realization of a new life, a new dimension. It still bewilders you, but you are entering the portals even now. You are partly through. It is only at the last moment that the change comes in the twinkling of an eye, bringing completion. You are moving toward this change, but the preparation for it has been gradual, easing you into the reality of something far greater than a belief of your minds--the reality of life. We do not cause you to plunge in, as you would dive into cold water. We lead you gently by lifting your consciousness, helping you to sustain that higher consciousness. Part of it comes through your obedience, your coming together as one body in love and harmony. This brings a beautiful oneness of spirit.

In that oneness something must take place, and it does. But how often have you tried this? How often have you experienced it? Now and then when you had time? You see, at this time your desires for spiritual attunement were greater than anything else; you dropped everything and came as the Spirit prompted you. The desire in your hearts for higher attunement with the Christ consciousness was there. It was the Father's prompting that led you to come together in oneness with others of like nature, like minds, like purposes. The great law of attraction brought you together into the consciousness which you desired. Even though it be by degrees you are entering in. As this takes place, you come closer to the point where you can move right into place when the time comese. We are literally leading you toward your transfiguration. It comes after the transformation within your hearts, the reorientation, the change of attitude, shifting from self-center to God-center.

You can now see why we have repeated so much through the years, literally drilling it into you. We have walked with you, hand in hand, leading you through the door, up the steps, up and up. And, as you slipped back several steps we would lead you up again ard help sustain you, help you to hold the new level, even if for a short time. You are learning to sustain it; this is taking control in the higher nature of your being. Your humility, your willingness, your love has been beautiful to see. You have not acted as though you were humans brought together. You have lived as. souls, transcending human personalities and differences, expressing divine love, one for the other, merging in the higher purpose. More and more this should be practiced and developed to bring

a You have fulfilled certain conditions that actually drew your Master into your midst. Ho promised this; it should not be surprising to true believers, for it is not a spectacular event; it is natural to the divine nature looking for it. He gave that law but many have taken it symbolically, You have come into the realization that draws the Christ-nature in you out, to full : degree, so that it manifests in your midst. He told you literally that there in the midst would he be. When you reach the point of consciousness where you have spiritual ears with which to hear, spiritual eyes with which to see, you break through earth-bound conditions and reach a point of awareness where you know he is in your midst. You will now think more of this law, "When two or more are gathered together in my name, in one accord, cne mind, one purpose, one spirit, meeting the condition of higher consciousness and desire, then the result-- there in the midst shall I be."

You have had moments of this realization, and as you practice the Presence you will grow into it permanently. You are cultivating this recognition, claiming this consciousness, claiming the fruits, being grateful unto your God for the law which transcends space, distance, time limitations Continue to practice the presence of your Lord. When you have fulfilled those conditions, when you reach that state of consciousness, he is in your midst. This is the great drawing power of Spirit. You are being raised up to be like him. What you focus upon you becomes

You can now see the dangers of being suspended in phenomena of all levels, which would eclipse the true light, the true one whom you would desire to manifest. If your desire is for lower planes you will bring those manifestationse If your faith is great enough you extend your desire unto the highest. And it is not you but the desire in you that the Father meets when the law is fulfilled. "Believe, and it shall be done unto you."

You have experienced the presence of your Masters It is your soul's realization of the eternal light in which you stand that brings you to the point of seeing that which is. Your soul literally goes out to meet it, and in that great vortex of power your Lord manifests unto you. And why not? He comes unto the children begotten of the Father, that the Father is raising up to be like Him, to be with Him. To whom would the Master come? To those of his own, and you are among those. Most certainly you are not the only ones, but those who took time to come into the upper consciousness to meet him, to listen to him within, to identify with him and his great love, to his offer to guide all the way. For those who would choose to follow would desire to be with him, and he would come into their midst when the conditions are fulfilled. In certain moments you have done this, but you cannot do it in the midst of a busy day in the world.

Certainly you have guardians helping you, walking beside yous you have the indwelling spirit that will guide you when you listen. But just as it ig difficult for a wealthy man to take his attention from his wealth to enter into the heavenly state, it is also difficult for the busy man of the material world to recognize his Lord in the midst. Thus the Lord did bring the twelve into the upper room, that he come closer, have their attention without distraction, and be able to lead them into the greater reality of that which was comings (And so it is now.s) Their minds jumped ahead, and they asked him questions about things for which they were not ready. He did not answer all. He told them what was necessary at that point. He told them more than their faith could accept even then.

By now you have had time for that faith to grow. How strong is it? Enough to believe your Lord, or do you take his words as meaningless because you could not attain that consciousness? All these things are reminders so you will

search your souls, search your motives and desires, and then be true to the conviction of the soul. From now on take more time to enter into the upper room, whether it be in your home or a retreat. Go into the closet within you and commune with your Lord. In reality, not in imagination, in true reality of purpose in the higher consciousness. Function in your higher nature, as you are at this moment, living and experiencing a degree of your higher natures

As you practice this, it becomes greater until finally you have full illumination, a complete transformation within, and are led to your trans-figuration, just as the title of one of the volumes has indicated. This is not just the name of a book. The titles were the steps through which we are leading your souls, that you be acceptable unto your God, so that He bring about the completion to make you perfect even as He is perfect. Perfection in the Plan is the fulfillment of all the potentials.

We are calling you forth from your dream state; you shall find strength and confidence within. Join hands and hearts with those who move with you on your course. Have compassion for those who do not, but do not let this hold you back, delay you in your moving forward. Be ye about your Father's business! Turn back for no man, for the Father in each shall prompt each in due season. But those who have seen and have gone forward must continue their journey.

Within you the many cells in your etheric body are being changed, the indwelling spirit is bringing greater understanding, a stronger guidance within the soul. You are to be alert and listen to that within. Practice it. Practice being still--all parts of your being--without strain, relaxed, free of tension, releasing all things that would hold you back. The spirit is remolding the temple. Enter into the Holy of Holies within you, that sanctuary of the soul where you are lifted into the highest realization. H: erience the presence of your Lord in your midst. Let the soul see through the eye of the spirit.

Let those that have ears to hear, hear the spirit. Let the spirit bear witness to the truth in your inner realization.

Do this in remembrance of me, until I come to remain with you always. My sheep shall know their Shepherd. So shall it be until the days of grace be fulfilled. Peace cometh.
