“Precious Ones of the Sacred Fire, it is with great joy and very, very great satisfaction that We are to spend a few moments with each other; and in this, draw closer and closer into your knowledge of the Sacred Fire and the way It controls conditions in Our Octave of Existence. Were you to take the Command in your Call to your “Beloved I AM Presence” and to Us, to teach you Our Way of Life; then make the Demand that your “Blessed Mighty I AM Presence”, through Its own Heart’s Flame, move in and through the outer self and prepares conditions so as to manifest here that which We have in Our Octave; you might say to Me, “Well, we’re not Ascended yet!” Well, you’re moving toward it!
Someday you must have the Picture if you are to attain it in manifestation. But let Me tell you what it means to say, “teach me Your Way of Life!” That means that We may show you the way Life acts in Our Octave. And Life in Our Octave is the concentrated Energy that is much more powerfully concentrated in Our Action than it is in yours, since there is no discord by which It may be re-qualified. Then there can come to you, Beloved Ones, many revelations that will be very practical for you to use in the outer world even today, because the way Our Life acts in Our Octave is always harmonious, is always comfortable, is always balanced and pure, and can never create anything but Perfection that brings happiness to all.
Now you have, all through the centuries, tried out every conceivable way by which your Life did things in the physical world. You tried out your own ideas and your own feeling, and you have not gotten too far on the right side of the Book of Life, have you? You’re farther than the rest of the world, I know. But look how long through the centuries have you been trying out the desires of the outer self and the ideas of the intellect that, while the feeling was to create, the ideas brought forth did not produce for you in that which you created, the Perfection for which you had hoped.
Therefore, regardless of what you have to do in the physical world, before you enter into it, retire into the Flame of Love from your own “Blessed I AM Presence”; and you enter into that by drawing the feeling of the outer self within the Heart Flame in your own Heart. And as you feel that Great Stillness, does there come the raising or lifting Power that draws you closer in your feeling world into the Great Flame from the Heart of the Higher Mental Body. After you have felt that intense Stillness and Its Power, then call forth to Us to charge Our Way of Life into your physical activity. Let Our Way of Life be your Pathway; then you can draw activities into the physical world that have never been here before, but which are to come as the Greater Perfection of the Incoming Civilization is expressed in physical action.
Therefore, as your Call goes to your “Presence” and to Us to teach you Our Way of Life, the Way Our Life acts in Our Octave, then you can command your Life of the outer self to act exactly as Ours does. Now this takes a Cosmic Command and a definite decision on your part that the energy of the outer self shall act through the Life of this world as Our Life acts through this world. Now when you demand this into outer action, it will come; and the easiest way by which you may feel your “Presence” is to still the solar plexus and raise, through your Love, into the Feeling of the Higher Mental Body.
The Solar Plexus is a ganglionic mass of nerves that are radiating forth from the back, in, through, and around the stomach. They are placed there as a protection to hold harmony, while the digestive process of the body goes on, to help produce perfection in the flesh structure. But the peace and the harmony of the feeling has been so often interfered with, that mankind have lived in a continual turmoil in the feeling world, and hence, they do not let the life within live the way in this octave that Our Life lives in Ours.
Now, if you want Us to teach you how Our Life acts in Our Octave, you make the Call, and hold your own energy quiet, and enfold it within the Flame of Love from your Heart and from the Higher Mental Body. As you turn your attention to your Heart and know that the Unfed Flame there comes forth at your Call and spreads Its Radiance around the outer self, you give the Higher Mental Body the opening; and by uninterrupted harmony as It flows through, will you find It joining Our Radiation from without. And then, My Dear Ones, when you move into a situation, you have control of yourself before you touch the aura of someone in the physical world who might be disturbed or have something to do with that which you wish to accomplish here.”
Beloved Lord Maitreya
