SPIRITUAL TEACHERS AND LEADERS ever have exhorted man to love one another. Yet, in spite of these constant pleas for man to unfold his love expression and to step into his true heritage as a Christed being, there always have been those who either have disregarded or have misunderstood this commandment. These attitudes must change before man enters the New Age of love, and experiences planetary fulfillment as one brotherhood under God.
Man’s questioning concerning his responsibility to love is reflected in the historical dramas of many scriptures. For example, from the beginning to the end of the Holy Bible, from the book of Genesis to the book of Revelation, we have this question: Am I my brother’s keeper? The selfish part of ourselves destroys the unselfish; the mortal tries to murder the immortal. Yet, Jesus, who enacted for us the role of the Christ Self in each one, concluded the entire saga of man on this planet with, “I, if I be lifted up, will raise all men unto me.”
Throughout all eras, societies and religions the truth teachings of the masters have emphasized our responsibility as spiritual sons of God to demonstrate brotherly love to all our fellowmen; to our neighbors as well as to ourselves and families and friends. In the present hierarchal program for the Second Coming, this love responsibility takes on a new urgency not only for all light workers but for all mankind of Earth. For before man here can enter into the New Age of spiritual expression and fulfillment, he must prove himself willing to example divine laws of love and brotherhood to all his fellow beings on this planet.
Many Hierarchal Board channelings through me also have stressed the responsibility of brotherly love for one another, and have given a blueprint of truth principles by which we can pattern our demonstration as spiritual beings evolving from third dimensional physical form into fourth dimensional light-body form. The following communication by Sananda on October 20, 1969, illustrates this need to become love in action. [For more on our love responsibility as light workers, see “Demonstrate Love Responsibility” on page 351 in Nada-Yolanda’s Autobiography of a Prophet.]
“If you will, use love as divinely guided and directed in whatever measure you deem appropriate; but use it. If you cannot love a person or situation as it is, love that person and situation as it is meant to be or as you desire it to become. All is in a state of becoming. Therefore, what is the highest and greatest or most desirable activity, but love? So, become love in action. That is your scheme and your activity of future projects. . . .
“For to love and to bring love energy into any human situation is to equalize it with the Father-Mother Creative Principle. The equalizing both balances negativity into positive response, and causes a new form to become manifested in and through the person or conditions experiencing this particular vibration. . . .
“You are not to be concerned with doing this, as you do not do anything. The law or Lord God does all things. You are the focal points of energy and creation through which He works. Therefore, make yourselves agreeable and available for Him to do this work. You do this by becoming love in action.”
Examples of Love
The following case histories are about caring and loving; and are meant to inspire and to hearten us as light workers to be aware of, and to search for, yet-undiscovered ways we may aid our fellowmen and apply the commandment Love One Another.
• Resolve relationships now. On March 10, 1978, syndicated columnist Ann Landers published a letter a person had written to his family on the death of a brother. Poignantly it focuses on the sin of omission, after it is too late to rectify a state of selfishness or indifference. The person wrote: “During this time of mourning there comes a pause for reflection, appraisal and regret. I regret that my brother and I did not accept each other as we were. I regret that we didn’t help each other more, that we didn’t share our feelings and our troubles. I regret that we didn’t make time for each other. These things I regret for myself. Yet, I believe I am not alone.”
The renowned columnist replied: “Of course, it’s too late to do anything about your ‘regrets,’ but writing that letter to your brother’s children, and to yours, and sharing it with my millions of readers will surely cause others to reflect on their relationships with brothers and sisters. You will never know how much good you have done. Thank you.”
• Everyone needs love. Here is a survey published at the University of California in January 1978 by Lisa Berkman, a disease specialist at the university’s School of Public Health. To all of us this report should answer the often-asked questions: What can one person do? Can the thoughts and the actions of one person really make any difference?
This study showed that persons with a low level of social contacts faced two to four times the risk of dying than people with many attachments. The university said the study “provides the first strong scientific evidence to link social and community ties to mortality rates, and perhaps to an overall resistance to disease.
“In each case, covering nine years, persons with strong social ties and relationships had lower mortality rates than those without such contacts. The more intimate ties of marriage and contact with friends and relatives proved stronger predictors than ties of church and group membership.”
Berkman said persons low on the social-contact scale had a higher risk of dying not only from leading ailments but also from accidents and suicides.
• Persist in efforts to love. From my personal files comes this example of a close friend of twenty-five years: “This professional woman had an extremely harsh life with a husband, six children, her own business, and a lover who could not marry her even though she divorced her husband. She began to drink heavily, and I continually warned her that she was becoming an alcoholic and destroying her health.
“Our friendship spanned the years of her many crises; but she continued to drink heavily, which certainly didn’t solve any of her problems. Instead, this got her deeper into more problems and new crises. Eventually she married a man who, it later turned out, was a sicker alcoholic than she. . . .
“Every time she was in trouble or was ready to run out on her obligations, she called me. For twenty-five years I repeated the same spiritual truths. She would get a little bit better, something new would surface — because she had not changed her basic patterns, nor faced her destructive habit — and it would be back to the old sickness.
“However, she always said to me: ‘At least, Yolanda, you are always there. No matter how bad things get, I know you’ll listen. You’ll scold me harder than I scold myself, but at least I have one person who knows and cares about me.’
“Watching her second husband destroying himself, without any of her sincere and persistent efforts making the slightest dent, she suddenly stopped drinking. All our talks over the past twenty-five years finally took root. She began playing the role and speaking the same basic truths to her husband that I had with her.
“The real miracle to this story is that her new resolves and patterns affected her son, who also was an alcoholic. He joined Alcoholics Anonymous, and this profoundly changed the life of her other children, grandchildren, and the children of her second husband. ‘I, if I be lifted up, will raise all men unto me.’ ”
• Love is unconditional. On a ranch in Homestead, Florida, George and Barbara Goins opened their home to problem youngsters. This is no formal state or church-run rehabilitation center. The Goins have just one panacea for every problem: love, and lots of it.
Here is a quote from a Miami Herald newspaper interview with them on February 20, 1978: “You just can’t fight love. No matter how much wrong these youngsters do or what they get into, we simply open our arms and love them. We let them know we don’t agree with them when they do wrong, and we tell them they don’t have to do harmful things to themselves and to others. . . .
“We know we can’t stop the children from doing wrong. They have to want to do that from within. But with each victory we gain another helper. That youngster in turn tries to help another. It just keeps going on and on. We’re not working to see how many we can say we have helped. If we reach only one, well that is reward enough for us!”
They stated a basic universal law. If we, the light workers awakened on Earth today, cannot think and feel, speak and act in this same way, then there is no program and there is no hope. So, let us consider how each of us can do just one more thing for a spiritual sister or brother, go just one more step for someone who has stumbled and fallen. For one act or gift to a fellow child of God can affect, inspire, uplift and change millions of others.
Your Love Potential
But the questions still may remain: How am I to know love? What are the guideposts of brotherly love? By what signs within myself may I be sure that what I feel for others is true caring?
Self-examination on a frequent and regular basis is essential to answering honestly these questions. Repeatedly going within and connecting with your I Am spirit will help you discover your love potential for your fellowmen. The following passage is ideal for spiritual study and regular self-analysis. It is taken from the book Teach Us To Pray by Charles and Cora Fillmore, published by Unity School of Christianity. Charles Fillmore, cofounder of Unity, had incarnated previously as Paul the Apostle, and is now on the etheric planes as Hilarion, Chohan of the Fifth Ray.
“We have thought of love to God in terms of something of immense size, something that we must encompass as a whole, when the fact is that love is a composite. It is made up of attributes, as is made clear by Paul in 1 Corinthians.
“According to Paul, love is the name of a great variety of little commonplace activities of everyday life.
“Are you patient and kind? ‘Love suffers long, and is kind.’
“Envious? ‘Love envies not.’
“Egotistical and proud? ‘Love vaunts not itself, is not puffed up.’
“Are you temperamental? Love ‘does not behave itself unseemly.’
“Are you grasping and selfish? Love ‘seeks not its own.’
“Do you give way easily to your temper? Love ‘is not provoked.’
“Do you behold evil as real and agonize over the evils of the world? Love ‘takes not account of evil.’
“Do you rejoice when disaster overtakes evil persons and exclaim, ‘They got just what was coming to them’? ‘Love . . . rejoices not in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth.’
“Do you patiently bear the whips and scorns of time? ‘Love . . . bears all things.’
“Are you open-minded and receptive to good, whatever its source? ‘Love . . . believes all things.’
“Do you anticipate the future with fear and forebodings? ‘Love . . . hopes all things.’
“Do you endure with trust and confidence in eternal justice? . . . Love ‘endures all things.’
“Paul says: ‘If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. . . . But now abide faith, hope, love, these three: and the greatest of these is love.’ ”

High Self Action with Love
“Attunement is not enough; action with love is attunement with Self. . . . You may step out of the physical into the high Self activity every time love speaks through action. Love of Self causes intunement, but love of God and man is action. . . . This is the New Age teaching. . . . So, New Age is action with high Self, action with love.”
—Sananda/Jesus; July 7, 1960

That ever has been the purpose and the need for our higher spaceships in the outer fringes of Earth plane matter. You have known of this and you have delivered much in the way of information concerning those etheric ships so stationed. They are the protectors of the Earth’s atmosphere during the configuration of the planets, and the problems caused by thought forms and energies concluded on Earth in the ending of this age, known as the Mark Age period and program before the beginning of the New Age or Golden Era that shall come in short order and according to divine plan and purpose.
been too important or essential to the overall cause. For what we have done by projecting our vehicles to the Earth for very short spans of time — minutes; to the utmost, perhaps several hours, in a few cases — has been to prepare the frequency of Earth plane matter in accepting and holding that light vibration.
You may now begin to understand why we have taken all these precautions to experiment and to draw out the plan through the sleep or the unconscious state for many long years before it is brought to your conscious attention and allowed to be conducted from the conscious level. This then means the marriage between the conscious self and the superconscious Self that takes place in the Christing of the individual during a specific personal episode of life. That was accomplished on many occasions upon the Earth, but mainly used and demonstrated through the personality we call Jesus the Christ. So that you have this example, it has been given over and over again, and that has led you to dwell upon this as the primary example for the Earth. And truly it is that primary example, as has been stated over again through this channel and many others before her, and will be again after.
So, in one sense it is the merging of us on a higher plane with those of you on the Earth who are ready and receptive to our vibration and visitants. It also is the merging of your higher Selves or light bodies with your physical bodies in such a way that you are conscious of the two operating simultaneously, whether or not the two bodies are operating in the same plane and whether or not they are operating in the same place upon the planet at the same time. . . .
and your purpose for being in the Earth now: to lift their eyes unto the hills from whence comes the shepherd of their salvation.
It is the danger that all who descend into the mortal are faced with. And we, who are here beckoning to you, try to call and to keep you in clear and dedicated spiritual form. We are the ones to whom you must travel; not we travel to you, into the valley of mortal embodiment. It is ever thus that you who have taken upon yourselves this physical mission and body must of necessity have the dual works: to be amongst those who are in the depths of this depressed state; and to be with us, in consciousness and choice of will, above that depressed state. We see this as one of the hardest parts of the mission, and not the easiest. So, we give every advantage and send forth every encouragement that is possible.
Our communications with you, through mental telepathic and other means of vision and clairsentient, clairvoyant, clairaudient channels, can become the beacon for their rise as well as your own. This reality in the sense of their own unreality of life upon the planet in mortal embodiment eventually must be the light which commands the attention and brings about the desire for growth upward. It is by your belief and understanding that those who are able to, guide and guard the progress; that the others, who have not the experience that you are entitled to and enjoy, can find some way out of their situation. You then will represent what we represent to you now: a mountain peak in the midst of a low, depressed area.
We must be sure not to allow our striplings to feel that only through the assistance of other forms of life can they be raised; for the symbology and parables used here are to bring about a conscious awareness that there are several methods by which the same Spirit does work. Those who are in the valley consciousness have come down from the mountain area of evolvement, and it is this to which they must return, as you already recognize. They must recognize in themselves and imitate that which you already are expressing to them and experiencing within yourselves: God consciousness is within. It is represented here by that climb to the highest peaks. Their mortal expressions are the valleys, into which they have become so enmeshed that the mountains around them are not seen by turning their heads to the left or to the right.
This is due to the fact that my participation through eons of time, my role and my function for the planet Earth and the hierarchal scheme of things, makes me the blueprint or the way shower for this dimension and this particular project. Although many have come and served me (and, utmost in importance, they have served God for the race of man in this evolvement process), none have had the responsibility to bring forth the perfect plan and pattern of developing Christ consciousness in and through soul evolvement while incarnating in various bodies on the Earth. Each of us has an important role and function to play in the total scheme of man’s development. Not one is less than the other, but all are important.
This has many implications involved, and some of them are being brought to the forefront of conscious awareness in many, the mass. They include the realization of life in other places and spheres. They include ability to communicate and to exchange with those energies and life forms which exist in other areas of creation. They also include the oneness of all men in a cooperative and coordinated plan.
For this is the purpose of setting up this particular frequency dimension at all. Spirit’s overall plan always has been to have man experience all life that he wishes to experience, and to conquer consciously all life as a son of God should and does. Otherwise, why would he be given initially these faculties, if not to use them; and to use them in the service of God and of all His creation?
“All things work together for good for those who love God.” (Rom. 8:28) This Easter, dwell not on the crucifixion of this mortal world, but on the resurrection into I Am consciousness and demonstration.
tremendous proportions, such as my mission in that lifetime was to set an entire pattern for an entire race going from third into fourth dimensional frequency. . . .
So therefore we show again we have a choice, and we must give each one a choice. Even though two men go through the same experience, one will make one choice and one will make another. The free will of both is to be respected and to be allowed. For none are to be left out in the eternal ongoing, though one may take a great deal longer to arrive there than the other.
At that moment in time upon the cross, [I recognized] that although I would resurrect in the light body, my responsibility to Earthly and mortal relationships and physical beings had to be transferred to Earthly mortal physical beings and not be my responsibility when I am in the light body, when I am in the total resurrected Self as I demonstrated following the crucifixion.
Jerusalem means “habitation or foundation of peace.” It is the “city of peace.” Also, Jerusalem is known as the “city of David”; so, we also can think of Jerusalem as the city or dwelling place of love. As we rend fully the seventh veil from our consciousness, we are moving into the Aquarian Age, which is characterized by the Seventh Ray qualities of divine peace and love. We are accepting the Christ vibration of peace and love on the planet. We are symbolically but quite literally entering Jerusalem, the time and the place of peace and love.
The citizens of Jerusalem took palm branches and went out to meet Jesus. Since ancient times, the palm branch has been a symbol of victory. Entering the New Age is a victory of the light. But the palm frond also has a deeper metaphysical interpretation. Just as the Christ entered the gate to the city of peace and love amid palm fronds, the energies and inspirations of our Christ Self enter through the gate or crown chakra at the top of our head.
terrestrial. Additionally, the crown’s circular shape signified perfection and eternity. So, unlike royal crowns of gold and jewels which represent divine power and attributes, the crown of thorns epitomizes mortal error and resistance. Hatred, greed, lies, jealousy and the like are the thorns of mortal consciousness that crowned the head of Christ, placed on him by society.
In this transition of the Latter Days, we are being guided gradually to shift our emphasis away from the cleansings and purifications characteristic of the sixth step, or Sixth Ray, and towards accepting our resurrection, including the ascension that is the seventh step, or Seventh Ray, for the Age of Aquarius now dawning.
The cross is probably the most famous symbol of Easter. In the religious history of man, various forms of crosses have been important to cultures the world over. For example, for ancient Egyptians, the ankh or ansate cross, with a loop at the top, was the symbol of earthly life as well as of life after death. Actually, the ankh predates Earth history. The Saturnian Council or Hierarchal Board, headquartered on Saturn, exercises it as a symbol for utilizing the power of God’s creative energy.
demonstrating, in the performing of our I Am talents externally, we automatically are changed, purified, transformed, brought into higher states of consciousness.
For instance, in interviews, time after time I fielded questions covering the entire gamut of the spiritual program, thus challenging me at every moment to maintain a high state of alertness and intunement, and to adhere to spiritual wisdom in my responses. I dealt with the receptive and the skeptical alike. I was even challenged to hold the focus of light and love in the face of mean and malicious attacks from persons who were either hysterical or totally closed off to the spiritual message. Over and over again I was challenged by Spirit to sacrifice my personal desires and needs, so that Spirit’s desires and needs could be channeled through me to serve the highest good of all people involved.
We are joined with the Hierarchy, as coworkers, to bring about the transmutation of the planet and the full rending of the seventh veil. Our next step in this cycle is to demonstrate, to put into practice, all we have been prepared and purified to do. This doesn’t mean necessarily that we will be called upon to give lectures or seminars or to perform our spiritual talents before masses of people. For our special service may be behind the scenes, seeding the mass consciousness in so many silent ways, or holding the force field for others who require our physical and spiritual support in order to step forth in their public functions.
Summary:
Interpretation: The salient factor of the dream is my close bonding with El Morya/Mark, who continues to offer guidance from the higher planes. In Sananda’s final communication through
