The Great Law of Being

 

The Cosmic Mechanics of the I AM Presence

 

There must be a very great sense of Spiritual Honor and Integrity, in regard to the use of the Mighty Powers of the "I AM Presence"; for the Great Law of Being does not permit them to be brought into our outer use except where it is for the accomplishment of Permanent Good. Be Aware at All Times that whenever we use the Life, Substance and Power of this Universe for the mere Gratification or Pleasure of the senses, only misery and destruction can be the result. "The 'Mighty I AM Presence'"works ceaselessly to build, release, express, and constantly expand Perfection in All Its Creative Activity, and permanently maintain Love, Peace, and constant Service to All. If the sensations of the body and the outer activity of the Mind are permitted to run riot and interfere with the Divine Life Plan of the individual, disaster and failure are the result. The True Student of Light never, never uses his Powers for the Amusement and Gratification of the senses, for exploitation of anyone's personality or to make money by producing phenomena. 

 

"The Ascended Masters' Way of Life is to give, give, give! First, Love and Adoration to His own "Mighty I AM Presence,''and then expand Love and Perfection by pouring It out to everybody and everything. To send out Divine Love Without Limit, All the Time, is the whole of the Law applied. If mankind could only understand this, the individual would Realize that he must pour out this Flame of Divine Love before the Perfection which he desires can flow into his world and release — things — into his use. Divine Love is a Feeling, an actual Ray of Light which flows out from the Flame within the Heart. It can be sent forth so Powerfully that this Ray of Light Substance is both visible and tangible. It is the most Invincible Power of the Universe. Use It, Beloved Ones, Without Limit, and nothing is impossible to you.

 

The Cosmic Law acts, wherever the Thoughts and Feelings direct and qualify the Energy; and It is no respecter of persons, places, conditions, things, motives, ignorance, or knowledge, any more than is a current of electricity running through a motor or dynamo. If you turn on the Power, it acts, according to the direction given it. This is a point that many students do not seem to comprehend, or for which they do not wish to take the responsibility; but the Truth of the Law is the only thing with which We are concerned. Our Work is to put the exact Truth of the Law before individuals. If they refuse to Understand and Obey it, then their suffering must increase - until the human side breaks its shell of obstinacy and selfishness and lets the "Mighty Presence of the I AM" Control All, according to the Perfection of Life. 

 

Therefore, never joke in Thought, Feeling or the Spoken Word about the Powers of the Godhead; for to do so — without exception — draws heartbreaking experiences into your world. Therefore, govern your outer moods with an Inflexible Will whenever you use the Powers of the "Mighty I AM Presence." 

 

In order to manifest the greater Expressions of the "I AM Presence," the individual must become Aware of and Feel that "Presence" within himself, and know that the very Life Energy which beats his Heart and breathes through his lungs is constantly flowing into his physical body from his Electronic Body. His Electronic Body is projected into space from the very Heart Center of the Cosmic Life of the Universe, which you have heard of as the Great Central Sun. This Pure Life Energy flowing ceaselessly into the Mind and body of the individual is the Triune Activity of the Supreme acting everywhere throughout Infinity. It is Intelligence, Substance and Energy - the One Universal Light out of which comes All manifestation. 

 

It is subject at All Times to the Conscious Direction and use of the individual with Self-Conscious, Individualized Free Will. The minerals, plants and animals do not have the control of this activity; for only the Flame of the Godhead is endowed with Self-directing Free Will. 

 

The more attention one gives the "Mighty I AM Presence," the more he will learn of the Vast Realms of Wisdom that stretch before him. The more he Realizes the immense responsibility and limitless opportunity that are his, the more should he ask the "Mighty I AM Presence" within his own Heart to Teach him All Things. 

 

If one wants Wisdom, he must turn his attention to the only Source of Wisdom - the "Mighty I AM Presence." Only by acknowledging the "I AM," can the first impulse be given which releases Its Wisdom into the outer use of the individual. It is by Acknowledgment, that the first wave flows forth to release It into the physical activity. Otherwise, It remains forever quiescent within the Consciousness of the "I AM." The Release of It can come only at the command of the Self-Directing Will of the Flame of God. 

 

Learn to call forth these God Attributes and Activities from the very Heart of the Universe, and then use them in Love to Bless All Life. If you will do this, there is no height you cannot attain and no gift you can ask of Life that Life will not release to you — when you Understand what part of you says "I AM" and you are Willing to use All to Bless Life everywhere with Love. 

 

Use, use, use, use the Understanding of the "I AM Presence" that you now have, and persist in Loving, in Blessing Life everywhere; and you will open wide the Floodgates to Freedom — the Realm and Activities of the Limitless — the Natural World and Life of the Ascended Masters. Use the Wisdom you now have, and more will come as surely as your Heart beats and your Mind Thinks.

 

When anyone truly accepts the Glorious "Presence" and feels It as the Godhead doing All Things through and for him, the rest of his activity must conform to Its marvelous Beauty and Perfection. The Full Acceptance of the "Mighty I AM Presence" by the individual always commands and governs All outer experience Harmoniously. It is only when one Truly and Fully Accepts this Glorious "God Presence" Within himself that he becomes a True Messenger for Divine Service. As the Perfection of the "Mighty I AM Presence" begins to be released in a greater degree through the outer activity, all the courage and assurance comes through; for at last the personal self sees and feels the "Mighty Inner Presence," knowing Its Full Power, Majesty, and Mastery. 

 

 

The Impersonal Nature of the Universal Light

 

In the academic study of the Universal Logos, the Student must Understand that the Cosmic Law is entirely impersonal. As this text explicitly outlines, the Divine Life Force acts Exactly like a Current of Electricity. It possesses no inherent moral judgment; it simply flows wherever the individual's Thoughts and Feelings Direct It. Because the "I AM" Consciousness wields this exact, Unadulterated Power of the Absolute, Absolute Spiritual Honor and an Inflexible Will are required. 

 

To misqualify this Pure Energy—using it for the mere gratification of the lower senses, or allowing the animal ego to run riot—is to Purposefully Direct a high-voltage current into the fragile circuitry of the human experience, resulting only in misery and destruction. The True Student Recognizes that their physical form is Continually Sustained by a Higher, Perfect Archetype—referred to in Theosophy as the Causal Body, or here as the "Electronic Body"—which is a Direct Projection from the Universal Mind, the "Great Central Sun." By anchoring the Consciousness Entirely in this Supreme Source and Pouring Out Divine Love as a Tangible, Invincible Ray of Light, the adept ceases to manipulate the material world and instead allows the Perfection of the Absolute to naturally Express Itself through their Purified Vehicle.
