"The flowers and all of Nature, the stars, even the blue of the sky is a promise of present and future hope, beloved. Thus, God has painted the very canopy and backdrop of a universe to inspire hope that whispers in the heart, 'All is not lost.'

"Beloved, faith is the foundation of hope. Faith, then, in the absolute Good of tomorrow, if it is not evident today, allows hope to take the soul soaring to new heights of opportunity and potential."

"The knowledge of the seventh ray is abroad in the earth. And now, with a new fervor and a new hope and wisdom, I trust gained from any past indiscretions, we may once again lay firmly the foundation of our divine plan to sow and sow again the jewels of light and yet to so safeguard our sowings that neither you nor I, neither cosmic beings nor unascended chelas nor elementals who love me dearly should ever again become so encumbered by the situation of the misuse of the sacred fire by earth’s evolu­tions once they have received the knowledge thereof.

"Therefore, I bid you with all my heart’s love a great and grand expression of gratitude. And I hurl to you now from my own being and aura, with beloved Portia, violets and lilacs and purple irises and all manner of wild and exotic flower that contains the violet and the purple spectrum. And to each and all who have ever favored me with a single kindness or a comforting word, I send this floral offering. And the fragrance descends. And you may know, beloved, that I am grateful.

"Beloved ones, to me the most obvious solution for the protection of the Light and the protection of the Teaching is to use in the physical earth the matrix already provided by Archangel Michael and the Darjeeling Council with Mother Mary and the Messengers. The matrix of the rosary of Archangel Michael may be used now for a very specific purpose. And that purpose is for the protection of the Teaching, that it might come to Light­bearers, and for the binding of all Serpents and their seed—the binding of the dark ones immediately when they take it to use on the
left-handed path.

"I submit that the call to the archangels—directly to the heart of Archangel Michael through the decrees already written and this rosary for the protection of the path of the Great White Brotherhood, for the protection of the true souls of Light and the worthy and the instantaneous judgment of the usurpers of the Light—will go a long, long way in curtailing the advancement
of abuses and therefore the incurring of karma for you and me and the increasing numbers of Ascended Masters who have come to join our cause of freedom from great heights of cosmos and the inner silence.

"Therefore, the perpetual call to the seraphim is truly the key of Light taught to you by the Messenger. The seraphim come with swords and fiery auras recharged once in every seven days by the Central Sun itself. Thus they saturate those individuals who are of the Light with a mighty flame and perfume of roses. They lead them by the hand, they bind the demons—and where there is a will and a heart in those souls, they do indeed bring them to the fount of knowledge. But you, beloved, must establish those founts of knowledge, those places of availability and likelihood where many may pass in the marts of life."

"Realize, then, that it is our hope—the hope of Portia and me—that by New Year's Eve we will have a good report for the Lords of Karma and in their deliberations and considerations of your own letters, there might be a greater hope, a greater lining of gold, and a promise of victory and of daffodils in spring and forget-me-nots and purple irises and pink and rose begonias, as the flowers in the fields and the mountains sing yet another round as the seasons hold their cycles.

" . . . As with all things, time, time itself is on the side of the lightbearers. And their time is running out. And again, by your understanding of your role in the position of Christ the judge, you may
call for the acceleration of the karmic cycles and the judgment of the oppressors of the people in every nation."

"And when those thorny creations appeared upon the rose, I assure you, it was not an intentional guardianship of the rose. But it was a manifestation of humanity's one sharp idea of violence against one another in pursuit of freedom when they ought to have understood better the law of God and understood that freedom can be guarded from within. And outer armaments are only taken when it has seemed to behoove the necessary functions according to humanity's ideas.

"But we have understood it all. And we recognize that man has often become a marplot of someone else's control—they, standing over him as though with a cudgel and club to more or less force him to a certain course of thinking and action. Whereas he himself left alone, would never in heaven's name have pursued some of the dark deeds which men have done. Yet, I tell you, the karmic laws and the laws of accountability and the laws of responsibility and the laws of cosmic surety are very much in the world. "

"Realize, then, that your own path of Godhood is also surrounded with mighty flames of the purple iris and all of the colors that form God-Justice—from the blue, to the aqua, to the delicate pinks and violets, to the actions of the sacred fire itself.

" . . . And thereafter you can see how the petals of Justice, as the multiple petals of many-petaled flowers, will really affect every part of life. For the Flame of God-Justice is the flame of world karma—world karma that is just, overcoming world karma that is unjust. And therefore, every act of misqualified energy is an act of injustice; every right qualification of energy is an act of God-Justice."

"This is the path of the bliss unto God. This is the path whereby heaven is opened and all the world might understand why there are yet lovers of purity upon earth, why the white fragments of the Divine Mother's consciousness with the fragrance of the gardenia, the lily, and the white rose and the precious lily of the valley are a signal to those who have come from far-off stars that the meeting of heaven and earth is nigh.

"In the delphinium blue is found the violet, the pink, the purity of faith-faith in the hour of sublime transformation of souls, faith in the hour [of the soul's assimilation unto Christ], faith as the attendant upon the divine union, faith as the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Your own faith in your immortal reunion with God may be based on the lives of the saints and upon the personal witness to your heart of the living Saviour. Will you not imbibe faith and breathe it forth again that your life become a living example of faith?—faith in your fastidiousness to the details of your holy office."

"You are the lilies of God and the lilies of the valley, soon to become lilies of the mountains and of the higher retreats and the higher abodes of the Bodhisattvas."

"Hope truly is the white flame-flower, the lily, the rose, the lily of the valley. Beautiful are the white
flowers that remind us of Mary and the kingdom of heaven and of Christ and of the little ones entrusted to our care.

"I am at peace, beloved, because you know the way. My peace is disturbed when you do not follow the way ye know.

"O God, give unto them clearer vision, perseverance, and above all greater love. For by that greater love they may be the chalice of thyself in this one [who is] of cosmos.

"May the compassionate heart of Kuan Yin expand in you as the open door to humanity, to the Dhyani Buddhas, to Gautama, and to all ascended hosts. May you call for Divine Justice for yourselves and your households and may you remember to call for the mercy of the Law through the mantras of Kuan Yin to temper that justice when karmic law decrees upon you a severe testing."
