My Nature as Your Messenger
The Masters have two types of personalities doing the work that I do. They have the very aloof type who has no desire particularly to rub elbows with mankind at all. And they do a beautiful job from the platform, and when the talk is over, they disappear. And you just don’t get a chance to see them or shake hands with them or talk to them at all.
And then they have a few people on earth, like I am, whose nature is outgoing and loving to people, who desire to mingle with the people because I feel as Kahlil Gibran’s man, the Prophet, “Was it I who spoke? Was I not also a listener?”
I feel as one among you, not as one over you. And I do not imply that the other type of man who is aloof is necessarily any less or any greater than I. He many be far greater than I. I do not know. But the fact remains that this is how I am.
The Magic Touch
Sometimes I have been able by a touch of the hand to communicate vast knowledge to a chela of the Masters. I was nothing more than an electrode. And the knowledge jumped the gap between this individual and myself And they by their own faculties of mind and heart, were able to utilize it. Because this is the way the kingdom of God is spread. This is what is meant by the statement, made by the apostles long ago, where they said, “By the laying on of hands.”
Mark Prophet
How to Determine If Someone is Truly a Servant of God
We cannot judge by signs and wonders whether or not a person is truly a servant of God. We must judge it only by their fruits. And the fruits of the spirit are justice and mercy and goodness and peace, and all of the qualities that you expect to find emanating from a Son of God.
Ever Wish You Could Fly?
Well, you can. Practice the Presence of God! When your consciousness is cut free from earthly tethers, it can travel out into the universe, and bless the planets even as Jesus did while he was asleep in the boat.
When Jesus was asleep, his physical form was quiet and still. His spirit was traveling over the earth and blessing all the people in the world. Practicing the Presence of God will allow you to be able to do this.
Life is Spherical, Not Linear
Everything good or bad that we create comes back to us full circle because life is full of circles, from oranges on our breakfast table to the planet itself. Even life is spherical. You keep coming back again and again until you get it right, balance your karma through good deeds, and then return back to God.
The Ascended Master instruction is straight as it comes from the Master’s words. The Ascended Masters’ words are cups that hold the water of life. Human beings write beautiful words, but they don’t contain the water of life. It’s helpful. There is good instruction. But the Ascended Masters are unique in the sense that they carry with it a radiation, and that radiation helps us get understanding.
I’m a very sensitive person. I have a great love for each one coming into these teachings. I treat each one as though they were my children. It’s a very unusual thing, but this is how I feel. I always feel bad if even one person in a year stops taking the Pearls. But this is because I really love these people.
Walk the last mile with your brothers and sisters. You don’t have to worry; they’ll eventually come home. If you don’t know what to tell them, the Holy Spirit will indeed give you in that hour what you shall say to them, if you truly are humble before God yourselves.
When you’re working for God, you’re plowing a furrow toward the ascension!
