simplicity of love in the childlike way

They come from the East and the West. They come hungry of heart with burdens to lay down. They come seeking to win a starry crown! / O gracious ones, the hours of peace fresh from the hand of God pour over the Earth as an oil of anointing, and our being is illumined from levels of cosmic illumination to new levels by His expanding mind and by the buoyancy of His peace. / The peace of God knows no limitation! The peace of God is an expansive condition of cosmos—of the radiant spheres of other worlds, of systems beyond light-years incomprehensible, charged with emission of sacred-fire victory and waves of compassion from the heart of God that has seen the struggled starts of disciples of light and has assisted them. / Beams through the night glow with greater brilliance than beams through the day. And it is the strange contradistinction of light and shadow that enables devotees of truth to appreciate the waves of divine bliss as they contrast those conditions with the world’s confusion and abuses of holy Law. / I come this night then from the portals of Shamballa. The ivory throne upon which I sit tonight is especially builded in order to convey to the hearts of those who are with me the great love of God for all things both great and small. / Our ivory is not composed of animal substance but of the power of light—creating by transmutation’s ray and by precipitation’s flame the desires of our heart. And yet we are not without appreciation for the great lumbering beasts that serve the people of India and Far East and render unto them relief from many heavy loads and burdens. /Elemental life, precious ones, must always be considered. For the things that are formed and things that were formed are not themselves guilty, in particle or principle, of having rendered unto any harm—except the reflection of that unnatural discord which mankind have imposed upon animal life and also upon flora as well. / The world will someday master the challenges that now beset them upon the path—when they tire of the wheel of mortal reverberation, when they tire of battle of the senses. This oxcart pace cannot satisfy cosmic exigencies; it cannot satisfy deliberations of our councils; it cannot satisfy the waves of peace from the heart of God that would assuage the tears of mankind shed for all warrings which go on among members of the body of God upon the planet. /Within religious movements, within the family of nations, within households of men the din is great. And the Lord has ridden forth upon a chariot of golden substance to penetrate illusions and facades of men and to show how ways of peace must be made known. / I would like tonight to chide those among mankind who will not acknowledge the presence of peace and need to teach it. The simplest conditions which are not appropriated by men which are of virtue must be taught, and mankind must be made to know what is virtue and value. / The diamond, precious ones, is esteemed for its value. Were it to be devaluated in the marts of men, you would find, O gracious ones, that this rare gem would suddenly become plentiful, and the mines would open up an markets would be flooded with diamonds because it would take many to make up the value of one. Today there is a certain value in the minds of men to holding back on the sale of these jewels in order to keep the price up in the market. /Understand then that a value must be placed upon peace and a value must be placed upon spiritual bread and upon necessities of spiritual life. The world today is anhungered—and they shall be fed. And teachers shall go forth to assuage their thirst with the water of Life and to satisfy and gratify their hunger with the bread of Life. Not in an opulence of mortal substance shall the battle be won but by an outpouring of spiritual treasures. /The radiance of the East has gone forth. The enigmas held fast through centuries have traveled unto the ends of the Earth. And how safe they are from prying eyes! For who can understand them, who can appreciate them, who can take from them the resident spiritual power? Only the elect. / As a nut with a shell so hard it resists all cracking, so the spiritual germs of truth have been locked in metaphor, in symbol, in enigma, in mystery and within the heart of life. And peace has not been known by men, for they are more concerned with paltry matters which generate wars than they are with treasures of God which engender the ways of peace. The ways of peace they have not known indeed. Yet ere the year shall complete her cycle and her turning in space and ere the twisting of this age shall be deciphered events shall come to mankind which shall awaken many. We bring and bear no bitter prophecy—only the fruit of hope and desire for a better world, for a purer heart among the children of men. / Now I would speak of a heart that like a flame burns within. I would speak of a heart whose soft glow has suffused the world with penetrability of the radiance of peace. I would speak of a feeling that causes men to desire victory! /I will speak of little hearts made great by basking in His brightness. I will speak of great hearts magnified into cosmic beings because of the vastness of their hope and determination. I would speak of a yearning for truth that will not be denied the tablets of God’s Law. /And I will say to the years: O years, you are shining pathways of light down which pilgrims travel to the eternal abode there to find security and rest for weariness. There is no way of such delightfulness of heart and mind./ There is no way of such delight As the way of peace As to permit strife to cease. There is no way of such delight As ends all woe—As to find that hope so bright Whose holy glow Will pass the portals of mind and heart And let the soul of man make fresh starts, overcoming all that ought never to have been—To accept God-freedom for all men And see the way made plain In faith that wipes out fear, In presence of light when I AM here! O come and now rejoice!Make bold your heart tonight, For God’s great glow has filled the night with hope And music sounds her great delight As bowers fragrant with the peace of hearts Surround us all with God’s own hands of love, Securing now and every hour Some new triumph by His flaming power—Over dust and mud and slime, The flame of God makes all sublime! I come in peace! I come in love! I charge your hearts with comfort’s dove. I AM Gautama from Shamballa afar—The door is oped, the gate’s ajar. We wait your coming here tonight To feel our flame of God-delight, To keep and make your robes all white By faith and love and hope’s delight And charity that frees us all And makes the world a new place, Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow! Thundering then down all the cycled realms of time,/ With Victory’s voice: I AM divine!Shatter matrices of evil old And let our life emblazon bold /Upon the pages pure before you then— Keep faith, keep heart, keep love then Within your mind, a guardian of the Way. I know no higher word of praise than “Faithful servant of the Lord.” He is so blest, adored, By all the cosmic hosts, By all the sons of heaven. Our lives are changed and fashioned by His leaven—Secure! One loaf, one Eucharist of light! I AM a fragrant fragment, scintillating white—Radiant sunburst splendor, shining fair! I come tonight to make a holy prayer Before the Great White Brotherhood at Teton Grand. I come! I come! All stand!And rejoice! rejoice! rejoice! And rejoice! rejoice! rejoice!/I shall make all things new instead. Why wipe them out? Why destruct? When I AM nigh to ever make a new construct—A rightful act, a purity that comes To make and keep the world all free. O thank you for your love, so shining in your heart! O thank you for hope—that span to start A new resolution for the right. Perhaps this year you’ll win the fight! And if you are denied the total triumph That step by step His hand you’ll hold, Keep right on and know that where I AM And up the stairway, glistening gold, I’ll make a little prayer for you, each one and all—To where the triumph crown lies fair Upon a silken pillow,/Woven of strands of God’s own hair. His love rays saturate it all! They are so nigh, thy feet are shod with holy call— The call that will not be denied, The call that cannot be denied, The call that triumphs at your side! For where you are there God is too. Together you shall win. The few who triumph in each day Must become the many—This I pray./   O Brothers of Almighty God, beloved Sanat Kumara, most august Lady Master Venus, members of the great cosmic hierarchy and heavenly emissaries, our hearts rejoice at your presence here—the glory of your rejoicing before His face. / We welcome each tiny elemental form, each angel being born! We welcome men, one and all. We welcome those who love. We welcome those who wish to learn to love. We welcome all sons of men, for we have vowed to defend the faith this year as never before! / We welcome each tiny elemental form, each angel being born! Now then our Brothers, we call to thee for a release of great assistance for the sake of those remnants of our spiritual brotherhood who have gone forth as spiritual teachers to the children of men. We ask that they be secured this night and given especial protection from all harm and destructivity. / We must, above all, keep alive and fan the flame of hope upon this planet in this awful and terrible hour. We cannot permit losses to occur in our own bands of devotees or chelas who are devoted to right action. We must do all to intensify these children of light now embodied in mortal form so that they will gain spiritual stature and not lose that wonderful opportunity which has been given unto them. /This is a moment of decision when heaven must decide to render assistance, our Brothers, beyond the merit of mankind or even of many among our teaching band—who have been caught and snared from time to time by mortal strands of unholy delusion. We must not permit that they shall then be denied the solace of heaven this hour. / And therefore we plead with all of you who have this great God- flame within you burning upon your own heart’s altar to this night give great assistance to mankind in their hours of peril—and roll back tides of predictability, those conditions which are so plainly revealed to eyes of the discerning, that they also may recognize that there now has come a moment of the turning when God shall wipe away tears from the eyes of men through the power of great love. /And therefore I ask you, beloved holy ones upon Venus, to lower the great chalice that contains the thoughtform for the year. [pause] / The thoughtform for the year is a hand—a right hand from above, holding a golden key with three notches in the key and on the side of the key the letters L-O-V-E—/ From on high, God’s hand holds the key, which is Love by which all doors may open to every devotee of the Most High. Love is the key that opens every door, and if the doors of the hearts of men are to respond to God, it must be by a great outpouring of divine love this year. And this is the attitude of wisdom. Let him who has an ear to hear hear what the Spirit saith unto all men. Love seeks not herself but to bestow upon the beloved every gracious gift. And the simplicity of love in the childlike way is the key to mankind’s victory—to mankind’s victory that can open every door. / This symbol form from on high for this year Is a message old and strong—A message that casts out fear. This our message charges all With power to win, to raise us all!For those below and those above Are children of the heart of Love—They came from God, they go to Him, They are His hope, His future aim. Upon the sky where God does write There is a ray of mighty light—Love is written in the air, Love is written full of care,…full of hope, Love is written, let none mope…. I AM the flame, the lantern high, I AM the peace from Shamballa’s sky. I came in love, I leave in love. I came to give, I came to live. I come tonight to make you right, To make you light! Purify your souls tonight. Accept the challenge of this hour, Accept the gift of heaven’s power. I say, Go forth and conquer there!…to Colorado To hold His banner—let it glow.
It matters not that you’ve been frail,
The power of light shall never fail!
I AM is God in you, I think!
I AM the nectar, quaff that drink!
And watch the soul expand within,
‘Twill break the iron bands of sin
And change you in the twinkling eye
To victors in that beauteous sky
Where souls like stars do twinkle bold,
Where souls like stars are shining gold.
We all are one in that great light—
His star is beaming bright tonight.
Sanat Kumara, Lord of Flame,
We see you go in Victory’s name.
This meeting was a wondrous one—
It spoke of grace from out the Sun,
Of days of old when only light existed
And the power of right.
And now we go to win the world—
A mighty banner I unfurl.
Shamballa rules the Earth today
In God’s own name and God’s own way!
We say to all the hordes of dark:
Depart, depart this very park!
For God is here and here to stay!
I AM Gautama! Peace is my way! I thank you and I accept your love. And I love you still, and I always will! Blessings from Shamballa to all children of the Great White Brotherhood everywhere this 1966—year of decision when the Christ manifestation of the golden key of Love is given to man as the challenge of faith in action. Thank you.
