The Chela and the Path: Sixteen chapters by El Morya
Letter I
I direct this series to those moving in the wind of the Aquarian cycle. To those who would move into the new dispensation yet know not the way to go I say, there is a path. Step by step it has been carved by the initiates of the sacred fire.
Letter II
Thus, by freely and willingly setting aside the momentums of his human consciousness, the chela discovers that these are soon replaced by his Teacher’s mastery, which, when he makes it his own, serves as the magnet to magnetize his own higher consciousness and attainment.
Letter III
What is the mastery of the self? To properly answer this question, we must first define the self. Know, O chela of the light, that you are what you are regardless of what you think you are. The affirmation of the Real Self of every man and woman–the declaration of being and consciousness–is I AM WHO I AM.
Letter IV
The Christ Self is your mentor, your personal Guru, until the day when, merging with that self, you affirm, “I AM the Christ, I AM the Mentor, I AM the Guru.” The separation from this self, from this reality, is sustained only so long as you, by your free will, choose to sustain the components of the synthetic image.
Letter V
Among Masters I am known as a pragmatist in the truest sense of the word, for I am concerned with practicalities and with the exigencies of the hour. Mankind face a dilemma. It is a dilemma of the self, the society, and the civilization. The Darjeeling Council seeks answers to the dilemma.
Letter VI
Those who attended the viewing in our retreat of the events at Thrace saw firsthand and for the first time in this incarnation the violet flame in action in the transmutation of the records of the past. Mankind living in the world today assume that recorded history is what it is and that it cannot be changed. They have not reckoned with the violet transmuting flame.
Letter VII
How I joy to behold the joy in the hearts of the devotees who discover the multiplication of the body of the Lord in the many Ascended Masters who have attained liberation through the fulfillment of the laws of the one true God and the entering-in to the flame of the only begotten Son.
Letter VIII
I AM goal-fitting chelas to become representatives of hierarchy in the new age. Indeed, our representatives bring in the new age by exchanging the old man for the new. I would transfer to my chelas the momentum of my attainment in the mercury diamond-shining mind of God.
Letter IX
Here below in the planes of Matter life is also electronic. Man is a forcefield, complex, of whirling energies, molecules of Matter. He is a chemical formula all his own composed of many chemical elements. Man is a physical equation. Obedient to the laws of physics, he moves in time and space.
Letter X
Free your mind to be everywhere in the consciousness of God. Free your mind to roam his mind. Free your desires to merge with God’s desiring to be, and let your desires take on the desires of infinity.
Letter XI
Victory is a light, a being, a consciousness. Victory is a flame whereby the collective will to failure focused in the subconscious of the race as a negative spiral of defeatism is inverted, overcome, and reestablished as the ascending cycle of the soul’s reality.
Letter XII
And what of Michael, Prince of the Archangels, known as the Defender of the Faith? Micha-el! The name rings across the heavens like the resounding of the Liberty Bell. And the soul caught in the briars and brambles of astral configurations hears the cry of deliverance. Hail, Michael!
Letter XIII
And the twin flames of the Archangels and their legions which comprise the hosts of the Lord Christ bow also before the sons and daughters of God, acknowledging the sacred fire upon the altar of the heart. Each day the sons and daughters of God evolving in Mater have the opportunity to receive the energies of one of the seven rays cycling from the sphere of light held in the heart of an Archangel.
Letter XIV
Hold fast what thou hast received!” is the fiat of the Lord pronounced by his hosts as they pass the torch of life to every Keeper of the Flame. Like the runners of ancient Greece who waited to seize the torch from the previous runner in the race, chelas of the sacred fire figure in the plan of hierarchy as they take up the torch of the Holy Spirit and of the Maha Chohan, the Keeper of the Flame of Life.
Letter XV
Chelas must be willing to exert themselves. Exertion is the block and tackle of mind and soul lifting the weight of darkness that it might become light. And there is a staying power that must needs be tested, a hanging-on for life, for breath, for love, for wholeness.
Letter XVI
Therefore, speak with the voice of one who has the authority of the Christ and the commandment of God; and accept the covenant of Jesus given unto his disciples “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.”
