Develop the Inner Light
Taken from the June 1969 Bridge
Under the directing love, intelligence and power of the great Presence of Life, the wisdom of the masters, and the love of the cosmic beings, my love surges forth and enfolds each one of you. Will you accept, feel and consciously direct its presence, power and authority? By so doing you may become one heartbeat, one giant flame, and pillar of Light blessing all humanity until your Light enfolds this entire solar system.
When picturing the solar system or seeing it from an inner level, it will appear as one brilliant mass of Light in a constant pulsation, emanating spirals of Light in various intensities, but always in perfect harmony. This is also what must be seen in each study group, perfect harmony, one giant heartbeat. This must be your goal, to not only increase your own intensity as a point of Light, but also the intensity of the Light in every living thing about you.
You have within your power and reach the ability to completely change the pattern of a group, a planet, a solar system, a galaxy or even a universe. It is not the ability or lack of ability, but rather your recognition and acceptance of your ability! If you accept your ability as it really is, unlimited, and a part of your divine plan which plays a natural part in your everyday activities, then your expansion will begin, continue and never stop. Once you can realize how unlimited you really are, and that it is your obligation to express the Perfection of God, then that is when the balancing activity of life really begins and your expansion as a 'point of Light', your divine plan then unfolds and your freedom is before you. The need of the moment is to raise yourself to the point where other individuals about you can actually see and feel what you are doing inwardly. Do you not see, then, why it is so necessary that you become one with God as quickly as possible?
We do not want you to claim anything! What you do, what you have done must not be expressed by you. It must be recognized by the flame within the hearts of other individuals. It is not necessary to go into the outside world and tell what you can do; those who are ready to know will recognize the God Light of the I AM radiating, accept it for what it really is, and not misqualify it. It is impossible to misqualify a divine law, yet that is what individuals attempt to do when they say that they can accomplish something without God's Help. They are saying, in essence, that they have the power to overrule divine law. This is a pattern that many have created and those who do not have their guard about them as strong as it should be, oftentimes fall into the same pattern. That is why we are urging you to go forth individually and surround yourself with your own God Protection within the Light of your I AM Presence, thereby insulating yourself from the outside world.
Nothing can ever be lost in an individual who gives up an Activity of the Light and rejoins the outer world. The Light which was emanated while serving that Activity is always present and will at some time, be called forth and returned to that one for his illumination. However, the return to his former affiliating is left entirely to free will choice. Even the Light which was sent forth by students centuries ago will be returned to them and there will be a great worldwide recalling. There will be more awakenings and more illuminations than ever before because all students who, at one time or another, followed the Light and for some reason desired to forget it, their divine plan is still present and emanates the great love and blessing which they once experienced and desired for others. These will all have another chance to rejoin their energies with the work of the masters.
If you accept this Light and its divine laws, only perfection can be the result, and you will have protection against all things of the outer. These great laws and this Activity are now dependent upon students such as you! This Light must be firmly anchored into the Earth itself and the only way the first phase of this may be accomplished is through the students of the ascended masters. You must reach the point where you have absolutely no human tendencies and will speak only the truth. There is so much that you must study and prove to yourself that all I can tell you is how to do it. Again this implies application; the rest is at your conscious command!
This may all seem quite elementary but it is a necessity. So many times students ask why many of the discourses have repetition. Each time certain vibrations are sent forth in a discourse or each time a law, a sentence or a statement is stressed, that vibration is anchored more firmly into the Earth where it continues to vibrate until it reaches more of the mass of humankind. Many times you are only the channel or the anchor by which it continues this vibrating activity in the substance of this planet.
