“You may wonder why the Students are being prompted so much at this time upon this particular point. It is vital. We do not always think it is wise to give the Inner explanation of why it is so.
I think you have sufficient confidence in Us to rely upon Us until you see all of the outer activity from the Inner standpoint, as clearly as We do. We, who have been the Initiators of mankind for hundreds of centuries, know the exact requirement, Beloved Ones, of everyone.
While this is My first time coming close into the radiance of the Students, yet I say to you, I am rejoiced to find as much Purification going on as has already been accomplished.
There are many things I wish We could say to mankind at this time, because to many it would be of infinite encouragement and strength; but others would take it as license.
Therefore, We must refrain until such time as all will comprehend, or until Groups are drawn together who are equally ready.
I question whether that will take place, because of the Great Cosmic Light now flooding the Earth; for it is becoming – now notice this, please – the Great Initiator for the Earth in the future.
No longer will mankind go into Retreats; for in the outer world of human activity, individuals will gain their Initiation and Freedom.
Whatever you gain in the outer world of mankind today, is a greater Victory than if you went within the seclusion of the Retreats as in the past.
You think your experiences of the outer world are severe, but they are not in comparison to those which the individual went through in the centuries when Saint Germain and others gained their Victories.
Sometimes you think the appearance which stands before you is terrifying. It is only slightly so in comparison with that which confronted the Initiate in and before His Victory.”
