THE FORM OF THE LIGHT BODY is ready to manifest through the Earth, but many are the reasons it may take a long period of time, and even could be delayed beyond the period when it is ready. The reasons are mortal, not divine. For the divine is ever present and ever ready and can be brought into focus at every single step of the way. However, by being slow and gradual in manifestation and fulfillment, it solidifies and congeals into the mortal and the subconscious realms, thereby making a permanent grasp upon the foundation works of that solar aspect concerned with the particular comprehensive discovery and discipline wherever you may be in form of a temporary nature.
The facts and the laws are the same regardless of where you are in incarnation. We do not separate Earth plane life from the astral or the higher spheres in the solar system, but speak in the same terms and give the same principles and appreciate the same limitations — 
although there are variances everywhere — of these things which keep the divine spiritual from manifesting fully and totally and continually in that expression and experience. This is my main purpose in bringing forth the Hierarchal Board in life expression upon the Earth. I am Michael, with Jesus, speaking these thoughts and relaying this specific information for the externalization of the light workers as spiritual leaders and guides on Earth in these Latter Days or Mark Age period and program. . . .
You only have begun on the long run toward full manifestation of the light body and the light form. Your hindrance to these things is strictly mortal consciousness, mortal fears and past subconscious memory patterns that prevent the full manifestation at any given point. For, as I have said, the manifestation already is and exists eternally and cannot be halted in any manner. But by your yielding your mortal aspects, your mortal approaches and your man-made given orders and forms of life, you become that which we are speaking of and which we are expressing everywhere.
Once you have expressed the mortal into immortal form and attitudes, you are not fixed permanently in the immortal life; or the spiritual body, as you understand it. For you attempt many adventures and journeys into areas of unknown quantities and qualities. You often forfeit the privilege of memory of your spiritual being in order to enjoy a material life and a specific vibratory, living journey. These are not to be condemned, for it is part of the Son-of-God privileges and part of the learning and growth pattern of the higher plane consciousness. By living and experiencing in a number of areas of development, you record the infinite number of pleasures, variations, graduations and experiences. These are sloughed off in order that you cull only that which is perfect, good, functional and productive.
When, in the higher consciousness or the spiritual plane of life, you have endeavored to appreciate all the benefits, you accumulate them into your own specific record or development and thus are an individual Christed being, one unique and specific unto God, who is your Father and your Mother Creator. But you must learn to burn off what is not of permanent pleasure, permanent good, permanent examination in that level of consciousness. That is the process you are enjoining by this life and this period and program. We do not condemn this life and this period and this program because of that burning process, but beg that you see it for what it is and cooperate with it in every manner that is possible.
Express Your Christ Self
It is repeated: you already are Christs; but expressing the Christ function, the Christ knowledge and the Christ development is not fully, permanently entertained by this life and experience. It can be, according to your own spiritual will and examination and exercise where you are. It is the purpose of your life in coming into this understanding at this particular time in your evolvement today on the Earth. Let it then be a very serious effort on your part to do this and to examine it as I have stated herein, because until you do this and until you appreciate it for what it is you will be expressing mortal desires, mortal questions and mortal functions. These are appreciated and tolerated only for as long as you need the balance between higher plane thinking and being and mortal Earthly functioning.
In the Earth you must remain balanced between these two areas until the Earth itself has encompassed totally, and has been raised to, the higher plane functioning and level of vibration. Therefore, the fact that you may be balancing or straddling both areas of consciousness is in no way a reprimand or a condemnation of yourself and your understanding. But it is an explanation of why you have not appreciated fully, and have not expressed, that which you are capable of and which you have inherent within your own being and creation.
You are created full and whole and perfect in the beginning; as the I Am Self within you is totally one with God, the Creator and the Force which rules and governs all life form and force. But as you venture out into experience and episode, you accumulate a great many experiences, thought forms and attitudes that are applicable and functioning for a period of time and to which you are subjected. They function for a time not countable. You are subjected to them as long as you permit anything less than perfection and God-inherent life force and expression. The interminable length of mortal creation in any of its various aspects is not a thing to be discarded. It will exist as long as you have a lesson to learn from it. But it has not been created by the Divine Source. It has been created by you who are part of the Divine Source, the sons of the Father-Mother God. . . .
But there is a place and there is a perfection beyond all that you can comprehend and know and study from this level of your development and evolvement as souls. Though your souls are not perfect, your spiritual I Am consciousness, your individuality in God is perfect and one with Him who is the All. As you gather all the various soul episodes, cleansing and purifying, but keeping also that which is permanently useful, you become one in soul body with the spirit I Am consciousness. Then and only then may you choose, direct and free the physical form and body that you are experiencing in Earth plane manifestation, in astral level and, in some cases, along the lower etheric line of development. . . .
I have hailed the Christ in you and see it in operation throughout all levels of man’s mortal fulfillment. Let us begin to see this as one program and project of our eternal struggle to come into oneness with our fellowmen everywhere, and our higher Selves that remain in perfect accord and balance unto the original creative principle when it was born of the Father, of the Mother, as the Son.
