Mercury is a planet of steadfast souls who have entered the fiery core of the discipline of the law, whose concentrated energy makes them fast-footed and quick-witted. So the God Mercury, depicted wearing winged sandals and bearing the wings of the spirit, is the archetype of the messenger of the gods who transmutes the cloven hoof and horns of the god Pan - one of the many disguises of Satan. Chelas on the path must know the way. The answer of the Anointed One in every age must be: "I AM the way." For he understands, because he has realized the God Self as his true identity, that this God Self, whose name is I AM, is the way.
For I too have come under the tutelage of the God Mercury; and through this I have become a transmitter of the will of God, drawing back the energies of that will for smaller evolutions in many systems of worlds.
Being is electronic. Therefore, another name for the I AM Presence is the Electronic Presence.
Cosmic consciousness is the realization of the self as the universe of light that declares from the center of the atom of being, "I AM WHO I AM." This, the very first equation of being and consciousness, is the basis of your alchemical experiment leading to the fullness of that life which is God.
Expand the field of the mind. Enter the cosmic paths I have entered that lead to the throne of Almighty God. If you want to become a messenger of the gods, you must come out of the finite consciousness and the limitations of the mortal dilemma. You must be able to see beyond the finite self.
Do the invocation and come. Hurry, for we leave at midnight from the Temple of God's Will.
Look up at the stars and know that their identity has realized selfhood in God. Know that the stars in the firmament of God's being reflect the glory of the "older days of the Art" - of those forgotten years of yore when sons and daughters of God, members of the early root races of this and other world systems, triumphed in the law of the Logos, overcame time and space and ascended into the realm of God-reality where they support the star body and star consciousness of concentrated fire, leaving a counterpart in Matter to mark the point of victory. Stars are markers of those who have overcome.
It is time to think seriously about the nature of extending the teachings of the ascended masters. It is necessary to understand how you are portrayed in the hierarchy of non-ascended chelas serving the will of God. Those who would like to be messengers of the ascended masters, whom humanity has identified as the gods and goddesses of ancient mythology, sometimes falsely attributing human attributes to them, must learn to communicate with humanity in their current level of development.
Thus there are times when we address humanity in the vernacular of the day and there are times when we address ourselves somewhat in the fashion of the day; yet we preserve the word of the Logos when we speak directly to the soul in the classical language of Spirit known to every soul, just as we preserve the mode of the seamless garment of light.
Here and there in the wilderness of humanity's consciousness you will hear our voice spoken by teachers, prophets, statesmen or the philosopher of the common man. You must take care that the fire you bring does not scorch the wings of the aspirant set for his first solo flight, for the fire you bring is to warm the heart and melt the hardness of the heart.
Allowing yourself to be dominated by your own karma or the cycles of your astrology - this is indeed the folly of those who have aimlessly removed themselves from the path. To preserve the self above the teacher and above the law is to deny the law of your own reality with which the teacher is always one. Each day you choose whose slave you become. I pray that you choose wisely.
Only by using Master Saint Germain's sacred alchemical formula can you bring about the transmutation whereby the burden of darkness becomes the burden of light.
The yoke of karma that you may bear for and on behalf of humanity is measured by your ability to demonstrate the laws of alchemy. The demonstration of these laws must begin - and there is no other way - with your invocation to the violet flame.
When I come to the door and knock, I expect to be greeted by a chela wearing the royal purple robe. If you would ask me to enter your house, prepare the force field. Let it be kindled with the fires of freedom. If you wish to be a chela of Morya or of one of the chohans of the rays, when I say, let your house be a house of light.
I will return. Watch and pray.
MORYA.
