Don't Wait

"MARY continued again and said unto the Saviour: "My Lord, if the faith and the mysteries have revealed themselves, now, therefore, if souls come into the world in many circuits and are neglectful of receiving the mysteries, hoping that, if they come into the world at any other circuit they will receive them, will they not be in danger of not succeeding in receiving the mysteries?"

The Saviour answered and said unto His disciples: "Herald unto the whole world and say unto men: "Strive thereafter that you may receive the mysteries of the Light in this time of affliction and enter the  Light-kingdom. Join not one day to another, or one circuit to another, hoping that you may succeed in receiving the mysteries if you come into the world in another circuit.

"And these know not when the number of Perfect Souls will be at hand, for if the number of Perfect Souls shall be at hand, I will now shut the gates of the Light, and no one from this hour onwards will enter in, nor will anyone hereafter go forth, for the number of Perfect Souls is completed and the mystery of the First Mystery is completed, for the sake of which the universe hath arisen, -- that is, I am that Mystery.

"At that time then the Faith will reveal itself still more and the mysteries in those days. And many souls will come by means of the circuits of the changes of the body, and coming back into the world are some of those in this present time who have hearkened unto Me, how I taught, who at the completion of the number of Perfect Souls will find the mysteries of the Light and receive them and come to the gates of the Light and find that the number of Perfect Souls is complete, which is the completion of the First Mystery and the gnosis of the universe. And they will find that I have shut the gates of the Light and that it is impossible that anyone should enter therein or that any one should go forth from that hour.

"Those souls then will knock at the gates of the Light, saying: "Lord, open unto us! And I will answer unto them: I know you not, who are you? And they will say unto me: We have received of the mysteries and fulfilled the whole teaching and you have taught us on the High Ways. And I will answer and say unto them: I know you not, who you are, you who are doers of iniquity and of evil even up to now. Wherefore, go into the Outer Darkness, where there is howling and grinding of teeth.

"For this cause then, herald unto the whole world and say unto all men: 'Strive thereafter, to renounce the world and the whole matter therein, that you may receive the Mysteries of the Light before the number of Perfect Souls is completed, in order that they may not make you stop before the gates of Light and lead you away into the Outer Darkness.'

If you are considering walking the Path of Return, or have begun to do so in fits and starts, heed the foregoing passage preserved in this ancient document for the benefit of all mankind. Do not hesitate, do not put off your decision. As stated here previously, even a sincere start, an honest and humble effort to make a fundamental reversal, surrender the self, adopt a new attitude of life, purify the microcosm and walk the Path of Return can assure the candidate of his or her place in Shamballa, which is the realm of pure Divine ethers preserved as a unbreakable vacuum within the confines of the earth-spheres. This astral-etheric region serves as a receiving-station for those who have begun the Great Work on earth.  It is here that they will pronounce the "Consummatum Est!" It is finished!

There are many entities waiting in this region right now, candidates of all races and of all ages from both recent times and the distant past who left the earth-sphere in the midst of walking the Path and were subsequently taken up into this Divine Waystation. There they endeavor to complete the Great Transformation without the hindrances of earth-life. Help beyond measure is provided. Those who have not yet achieved Liberation now await the time when "the number of Perfect Souls" will be reached.

The "number of Perfect Souls" is a reference to the critical mass of purified microcosms required to transform the Earth and her humanities. No one knows what this number is. We only know that we are moving closer to it. We can liken it to filling up a bucket with water. As the bucket fills, there is a chance that it will overflow if we do not stop at a certain point. As the bucket is filled to the brim, we observe that there is a tipping-point reached, a crown of water that sits precariously on top. We have reached the point where one more drop will cause the bucket to overflow and begin to spill.

We cannot put off our decision to walk the Path for another day, or for the next life. There is no guarantee that we will receive the same opportunities in a future life, or even tomorrow, as the end of tomorrow could find us dead and transitioning back to the reflection-sphere without having taken the First Step towards Liberation.

For those who are doubtful, unsure, half-hearted or play-acting, pay heed to the Silent Voice that has been calling to you from within. There is a reason that you, in this lifetime, were brought to this microcosmic "tipping-point". You do not have forever to make a decision. A decision must be made, and faith in the decision must be true. Tomorrow is not promised to you. Opportunities in future incarnations are not promised to you. You are here, this is now, and you...must...choose.
