“Notice why the Assistance of the Ascended Master is so important at this time. Do not misunderstand Me. All from the Ascended Masters’ Octave, is of course Perfection; but in order to try to convey to you these Octaves or steps, the Ascended Masters’ is the first step beyond the human. Our Ascended Master Octave is wholly Perfect. To help give you the idea, We would place the Legion of Light next. Then would come the Cosmic Beings, if you wish to look at this Activity as steps. This is why, mankind has not understood the need of the Assistance of the Ascended Masters. They are the Consciousness, the feeling all mankind requires today, in Its Perfecting Activity.
Without the Assistance of the Ascended Masters, Beloved Ones, I tell you frankly there would not be three percent of the people today, who would have the strength to stand up under their own creations; and that of the mass of mankind to Free themselves! Therefore, they must have more than their own assistance. That is why Beloved Saint Germain brought forth this Amazing Understanding of the Law of your own Life.
Will you understand today that We as Ascended Beings or Cosmic Beings are just your own Life more advanced; Higher in Its rate of Vibratory Action, than you experience here in the physical octave? It is the Stream of Life and Energy anchored within your physical Heart which gives you Life. That Life is the One Life of the whole Universe!
Your “Mighty I AM Presence”, which is the Individualized Presence of Life, is the Image and Likeness of God, as you previously understood. It is the Focus of your Individual Activity. It has been necessary for mankind to understand the Individual Focus is there above everyone; and will be sustained in any activity upon which the attention might be focused. WITHOUT IT, NO ONE – NOT EVEN YOU IN YOUR OWN LIVES, HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SUSTAIN A CONSTRUCTIVE ACTIVITY CONTINUOUSLY.
You wonder why sometimes things move rapidly and then a lull occurs in the activity in your own Life. Simply because you have not known your “I AM Presence”. Now that you do know It and you will call to have all your Application sustained, you will find a steady Advancement; a steady climbing and in many instances, just as though you were climbing a steep mountain. It is a very good simile of what is actually taking place in the vibratory action of your world as you turn your attention and hold it upon your Presence. ONLY AS YOU TURN YOUR ATTENTION TO YOUR PRESENCE, CAN YOU RISE ABOVE DISCORD!” – The Great Divine Director
Stay Safe, Stay Focused…And Y’all Be Love!
