Scripture Reading: lst Letter of John

Our greetings to you, beloveds. We would speak to you on the subject of love which was brought out in the reading from your Holy Scripture. This is the key to your ascension; it is the key that opens the door of understanding. For Divine Love is your true nature when you are, through choice, living consciously in that nature. When you believe the Divine Nature to be available and consent to let it manifest in you, you consciously step up into that Divine Nature, and it takes dominion. Know that the Father and son are then one in the temple, and rise up to this union through Divine Love, which is the Father in you. Then you come into the works of the higher consciousness.

If man could only realize this and grow into that nature, all things that he seeks would work for him, for the power of all Creation is Divine Love in action. Because God first loved spiritual man He sent forth His love in him, through him. Thus you have it available. As you, through choice, focus on the desire to love your God with all your heart, mind and soul, you then can send forth that which God has given you. This brings fulfilment. When you are jin this higher consciousness you know and experience love, and are functioning in your higher dimensional body. As you experience love it lifts you out of the selfish orientation of your former nature; it is the lifting power that would launch you into higher realms.

The praise end thanksgiving of a grateful heart for its Creator will cause the temple to be flooded with love. One cannot be thankful or grateful without love. When one is aware of being filled with God's Love, he cannot help but love his fellow man, although he may not like or love what he is doing in the outer world. To love the soul and recognize that which is of God--this is of primary importance.

All things of your life will take on a new perspective when love is available. And love is apparent in all that you do when you truly realize its presence in your Divine Nature, and send it forth unto others. Love is mighty, a tremendous force of power. But it is to those who seek to do His will that it becomes apparent. For if one does not desire God's will in his life, he does not know love. If he has Divine Love he will desire God's will. So as one opens to receive, let him desire love more than all else. Light will bring great understanding and illumination, but love will open the doors to Heaven itself. Where there is love it will lift one into light, for it is the lifting power. It is that which lifts you into His purposes and into ascension.

This must not be confused with that which the world calls "love," for so much of this is possessive, is self-centered. One must move into a selfless state before daring to call it Divine Love. This brings expansion, fruits of the spirit, and the change and transformation within begins to take place. It is not the love of things, possessions, nor greed. It is the selfless state of awareness of God's great gift unto man that brings forth the love which shall lift into higher realms.

For all those that are now seeking more of God's will, compassion and love for others must be paramount. But there is wisdom in Divine Love.

Never forget this. It does not mean that you become deliberately a doorman to others, or that you are foolish and without discernment in your involvemont with others. It is wisdom that moves through, You oan love the souls of many and remain uninvolved with their actions. This is where discernment must enter. If you pray for God's will in action, that His love take over, and have asked for discerment to know true from false, then wisdom will lead you and increase faith and this love will carry you far.

This is the love that includes authority and discipline for those who are being guided in the home. This is the love that would not foster the weakness of another but would be firm in the wisdom of knowing what is best, after prayer and listening. One never can assume he knows the answer without first turning within in prayer, listening for the Creator's indications in the soul, They are there and you learn to read the signs. All these work together for good and a balanced life in God's service, but wisdom is the keynote.

This only comes when you are raised in the higher consciousness, as you are when you walk about the gardens of this place, for instance. In the higher state of consciousness, asking God to direct and lead, you know that you are being cared for. You pray for the true meaning of love in your life, in your home, in your environment, and this includes the way of wisdom. (Many would cover wealmess by calling it "love.") There must be first a thankful heart, 2 desire to be in God's will and a prayer that that love which is God, which is in you, should move through as you send it out from a full heart.

Send it to others; the light enters into their consciousness and expansion takes place, awareness increases and illumination comes. Love is the transforming power of the heart--the heart of man. The soul is raised unto its purpose, and becomes united with the Father within through Divine Love, and the heart overflows with it. This is symbolized by the story of the bride being prepared for the bridegroom--the Church on Earthe You are those dedicated to the Father's will, being made ready, prepared when the bridegroom comes, when the Son comes to claim the full, Divine Love which shall unite and be one in that creative force. The Father shall do the works through each one.

So with all your learning, learn how to open to greater love. We know that you have much of this manifesting in your lives--you who have gone thus far on the path--but pray for the in-filling of this love. For this is the motivating power which transforms energies into a lifting power, changing your lives, finally bringing your ascension. Sacrifice is a doorway to this love-- giving up something of yourself, that which you would be apt to hold to. Giving up of self all the way is the greatest aim--doing for others; not that which is merely convenient but that which may be inconvenient--when it is for the true purpose of being helpful, There the guiding influence within shall show you when it is wisdom, but the very act of giving up, giving over, will bring greater love in your life. For you do it unto others and you do it unto Him.

You have had strong vibrations in these past sessions--light, creative forces in action. The Master has been in your midst. You have reached a high purpose, but you are to be transformed into greater works, You have focused, have kept your aim high, and you have climbed high. Now let it be done unto you. Let this change continue to take place until you are drawn into that very life, that very love--into the body of the Christ nature. We are helping by walking with you into more and more of these realities, but you finally identify with them and remain in that consciousness, It is not that we would teach you facts; you have an accumulation of many facts. We would lead you into realities, as the Shepherd goes before, leads the way that each may follow.

We assist as we walk beside you, helping your consciousness to have a new dawning, to realize that it is the very essence of life that you step

into. We know the words are meaningless when we say, “Come out of the one; move into the other." But we are speaking to the soul and the soul is obeying. In your outer consciousness you may be bewildered but you are still giving consent, and have faith enough to move even though you do not understand. You understand in part but not in the entirety. This is moving your cells of being into greater degrees of light, and through your desires you will be lifted up if you choose this attitude of love, compassion, and mercy, and allow yourselves to be filled with it. Then even greater things shall be done through you.

The Father is at work in you, but by your surrendering back to Him that which He gave you it increases the power in you until you can move out of one dimension into the next. Your entire being becomes saturated with the very assence of the love nature, the Divine Nature. In this nature you can cope with all things but remain in the higher nature. Look from that perspective; see all things in different proportion and govern them from the higher Christ consciousness in you. If we say this enough you will be drawn into it, even though you do not fully understand. Again, that is where your faith shall make you whole. So let this be your great prayer.

You have gone through the many responses, or traits of the twelve disciples--the apostles of Jesus--the doubting, the denial, the attention on materiality, the many things each one represented. Now follow through in great love, as did the disciple John, who was the closest to the Master. He had the greatest love for the Father andfor the Christ. So be as John--filled with great love--until you move into the place of the Christ nature in you. Then look to the Christ and be all things, as represented in him. Be all things in him and the gates shall be opened, and you shall walk through in freedom of the soul, free from the bondage and the limitations.

He has led you throughout the way and will lead you to the end. Through him you will find your union with God, the Father. Identify with his life; he is the door. Know that in that nature, which has already been given unto you, you may rise up in full strength. You are maturing in the soul; you are courageously moving forward and progressing in many ways that you do not see and know. You watch and observe the outer; it is more the inner. It is true that you will begin to apply more to your outer action, but if the inner is filled with love and desire to return to union with the Father, then this shall definitely be brought about.

You are closer than ever to your Shepherd; he is returning in fulness and glory, as the Lord of Earth, as the time draws near. He it is who gives you, through mercy, all power and strength, enabling you to walk through in rebuilding his Kingdom.

You have held your focus. We congratulate you on sustaining that for longer and longer periods of time. As tremendous power builds up here in your midst, you move forward as one, to direct it forth to points of need. You have been led, step by step, and at the peak moment of power, your consciousness is raised higher and higher until finally the light dawns, and for a moment you experience the presence of the Christ in your midst. Your Shepherd leads.
