Indeed, the way is open for you to know my voice, my beloved ones. Hear me now, as I declare that I go before you, paving the path and ensuring that your very presence, your very being, makes your missions of immense value to earth.
There will be those who approach you, saying, "Let us commune together, for therein shall be profit." And there are others who would commune with you, subtly seeking to extract profits from the knowledge you possess. They will press upon you, asserting, "Be consistent! Would you not help us? Then help us with moneys."
But I tell you, beloved, there are those who need far more than mere moneys. There are those who yearn with a deep hunger for spiritual manna, a nourishment beyond earthly currency. They will come to you, crying out from the depths of their being, "Feed us!"
And you shall feed them, truly. For understand this: money cannot buy the viands of that sacred feeding. Your sustenance for them comes from a wellspring far deeper, a richness that flows from your spiritual being and my essence within you.
You are not called to small endeavors, nor to easy paths. You are called to great missions. These missions transcend the ordinary, touching the very fabric of spiritual evolution for this world.
Some will come, expressing their distress: "Behold, we have problems; bafflements confront us; truly, enigmas arise and cause us great tumults. Is it not fitting that your knowledge should succor us? Wherein is our bafflement if you give aid?" They seek answers to ease their immediate discomfort.
I say, keep your peace. For those who present you with problems, their very bafflements are not weaknesses, but auguries sent to test and temper their stamina. Do enigmas confront them? Know that these are not mere obstacles, but wisdoms, clad in a mantle of mystery, awaiting their own discovery.
You, however, have greater problems to solve than ever men have heard of. Your work is not merely to alleviate individual distress, but to address the fundamental spiritual conditions of an evolving planet.
Men will often take what does not belong to them; they will cry out that they want, therefore you should give to them. This is the way of the world's ego, demanding satisfaction for every desire.
I say unto you, give not to him who asks in that he merely desires. Instead, give to him who wants in that his spirit truly needs. This requires discernment, a spiritual insight into the heart of another's true condition.
Give to him who asks because his genuine need shows itself outside the clamor of his wanting. Give to him who truly begs, "Come and visit me with excellence, for truly your wisdom exceeds my own." This humility, this sincere yearning for spiritual light, is the true sign of readiness.
I say, such are your missions. This is the sacred work you are called to undertake.
Herein lies a specific challenge: men will come to you with their advancements, their visions filled with personal profit, beseeching for themselves or for those within their immediate circle. They will assert, "Behold, are you not thus? Give us, therefore, we pray you, because of who you are."
I say unto you, keep your eyes ever on the world as the world. Understand its vast need. Behold, it has need of you, not merely men of one nation, nor yet of one neighborhood. Your mission is expansive, global, cosmic.
You are called among the baffled to do a goodly work. This work does not originate from your own cunning, but it comes of my presence, it comes of my preaching. Truly, the augurers go before the omen; those who have wisdoms are not favored for boastings. Your wisdom is for service, not for self-aggrandizement.
Men will say to you, "And do we not likewise love him who comes? Tell us of his presence, that he may be one of us." They seek to categorize, to limit, to claim.
Not so, beloved. Understand this fundamental truth: I am none but the world’s. All men are my profound interest. I am come to save all, not just those of great places, nor yet of small precincts. I am come to save men in that they are contrite, in that they are human. I am come to drop manna on all who are human, and those who are human have need of me everywhere, without exception.
I say, there will be those who come to you falsely, making loud and insistent demands. They will flock to you, beseeching you, and they will croak at your methods if they do not immediately serve their superficial hungers. Their self-serving requests will seek to distract you.
I say, scorn them not, but take them not unto you in their clamor. Presently, they will begin to perceive the profound pattern of your utterings. They will behold you as those whose missions are consistent, repeated in their truth. They will know you for your missions, understanding that you are truly who you are. They will come to revere you for your wisdom, which utterly lacks the stain of self-profit. Thus shall you manifest, proving your identities through selfless service.
Yet, full understanding will sit afar from them until the time is truly come for them to hear, until your tongues are unloosened to speak more directly.
There will be others who come to you saying, "We are those who have sought what you now tender unto us; long have we been torches burning in a darkness. We have seen your flame, that its brightness has a brilliance; truly, it is greater than that which we have lighted, and we ask of your wisdom, whence comes such radiance?" They appear sincere, but their motives may yet be veiled.
I say unto you, beloved, they are charlatans and liars. They are makers of antics; behold, they offer sensations and tumble as mountebanks. They have interest only in that which perplexes because it perplexes, delighting in mystery for its own sake, not for the truth it conceals.
They are as children, playing with an unknown book whose pages they seek only that they may tear them, never for the wisdom within.
I say unto you, be circumspect. Treat them with courtesy, for all souls are precious. But, at the same time, direct your intellects toward vaster issues, holding tocsin for your minds. Remember, that which perplexes is not always meant for him who finds perplexity only because it is perplexing. There are deeper meanings, profound truths that demand a higher order of engagement.
I say unto you, seek the ultimate end of your journey. Be joyous in your eventual reunion with those who await you in the higher realms. Wait for my voice to guide you in every step. Be upheld by its utterance, for my word carries the power to sustain and direct you. Know that I bless you for your interest in that which humankind, as a species, often eschews. Know that you are truly mine, in that you labor with unwavering dedication to fulfill this divine promise within you and upon your world.
