HOW THE MASTERS PREPARE FOR AN ADDRESS
Beloved Ascended Master El Morya. June 24, 1956.
The Bridge to Freedom Journal. October 1956.
Beloved ladies and gentlemen! It is my privilege and honor to again greet you through the veil of human maya, speaking my words into your outer brain consciousness. Each one of you receives according to his capacity to understand, in the outer self. Even among human be-ings talking one with another, there is a different amount of compre-hension, understanding, clarity of perception and capacity to put the instruction into applicable works. When we come from the Ascended Masters' realm in which we dwell to speak through the “veil” into the consciousness of unascended beings, we see that there are no two chelas (no matter how earnest, honest and sincere) who have the same capacities, either in emotional receptivity, mental perception or the same etheric ties of the past with us, nor, of course, do they have the same type of physical consciousness and brain cells.
So, when we address a group of unascended individuals, when we come forth to speak at a conference such as this, we expect and we do receive very different types of receptivity and comprehension from each blessed heart. It is no reflection upon anyone of you. It is due to your own evolution upon which you have risen to this point where you at least accept the Ascended Masters as real beings. It is also due to your national and racial karma, your family karma and even your education in the school system, as well as in your churches from which many of you have come forth into greater freedom.
I speak to you now, each one, just in the same manner as did the Master Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount, when every man heard it in his own language. After this class, if I were to take each one of you aside individually and ask you to give a five-minute resume of what I had said, you would be amazed that there would be no duplication of theme matter, one point appeals to one person, one phase of the law to another, one power of perception perhaps is greater than another. Therefore, we throw the “seed” ideas into the consciousness of the group and each one is at liberty to weave them into that which he thinks is best to bring about the freedom of his fellow man and expand the glory of God.

Need For Practice Of Stillness
Beloved ones, I have been asked to allow you some time for contemplation during this class. It is my nature and the nature of most of the First Ray people to drive and get things done. So, it is an initiation of patience upon all First Ray people to become still, periodically. Yet, if you will do this and will remember to daily invite the brother or sister from the Retreat at the Teton (or from the Retreat of the month) to come and stand with you while you are making your daily application, he will help you to understand and accept the reality and efficacy of this immortal, victorious Threefold Flame of God “I AM” within your heart.
He will help you as you endeavor to light the aura around you, to let you see that Flame come forth from your heart, from your forehead and from the tips of your fingers. Do not stay at this practice for too long at a time, it is better to practice it for short intervals. In this way, you will begin to use the exercise which leads to the transfiguration of the flesh. Spending hours and hours in a corner trying to make your inner light visible or to precipitate would only cause greater mental tension than ever in your world and this is not desirable. We do want you to use good, sane, balanced God-sense in your endeavors to realize and call forth into action the Presence of God “I AM” from within your own heart.
We have been asked to emphasize to you the requirement of acknowledging the I AM Presence within the heart. Even in our realm, beloved ones, before we start to do anything of import, we get still. Most accidents and unhappy occurrences in the human octave are caused by hurry and by not getting still enough emotionally, mentally, etherically or physically before the individual starts upon a project. Be-ore we attempt to render any service, cosmic, planetary or individual, we get very still and absorb more light from the Source of our Being, saturating ourselves with it. We anchor ourselves firmly within that Light and then direct it forth for a given purpose, whatever it may be, whether it be the instruction of a chela, the making of a star or planet, whatever the occasion might be!
