Ascended Masters, Shangra-la Mission,

I Love Thy Will, O God

Do you remember when
We swam in the sea of cosmos together,
Souls aborning,
Souls putting on skeins of the cosmic will?
Do you remember
How we said to one another,
" How glorious is this mighty blue fire!
We will stay in this fire forevermore?"
And as the cycles rolled
And others of the seven rays began to enfold the soul,
Some of you chose to follow the way of wisdom
And of love, of purity, of truth,
Of service, of science, of healing, of freedom.
And so you chose your path to Christhood
And to Buddhahood on one of the seven rays.
But you remembered your friend Morya,
Who tarried in the will of God
Forever and a day,
Who was created to say,
" I love thy will, O God. I love thy will, O God.
I love thy will, I love thy will, I love thy will."
Be it told–
I AM the will of God.
And so this will is right within
His Presence where you are,
And when you see it
Its fiery light will be a star
To open wide the chamber
Where the Real You lives.1

El Morya

Being the Will of God

by Lorraine Michaels
January 17, 2004

From the beginning El Morya in his Being was the Will of God. And so he says in the words above, "I was created to say forever and a day, I love thy will, oh God." While some of us chose to manifest the forthcoming rays of science, healing or wisdom, El Morya stayed in the glorious blue fire of the will of God.

In our quest up the mountain to God Being many questions appear. And many of us have asked, "what is God's will and how will we know his will?" Will we ever know while we are in physical embodiment? What really is Being? How will we know we are Being?

What folly it is that individuals feel separated from the will of God, as if they could not know it! For his will begins in the simplicity of a child and in the simplicities of nature. 2

I cannot help but pepper this writing with previous quotations from the master of God's will, El Morya. Although he is writing this with me, I return to his prior words given to us already, over and over again, as the testimony to that will which he never left and which he anchored throughout all creation, the pure will of God Being. Since we have been told that we need to Be, let us start with Being and what it means.

"Be" means to exist, or live. In the context of Being in relation to God, we see being as meaning–existing as God. And so as the masters tell me that this person or that person is being, I have had to transcend my present consciousness. What do they mean "He is Being"?

We go back to Saint Germain's words in the play Hamlet "to be or not to be, that is the question." We are either being or not being. In this case, there is no in-between. You are either being who you really are, or not. So what does that mean, being who you really are? It simply means the realization that you are God in action, love in action, and you know it, and allow the unique flame that you are to express itself. In that one realization, in the internalization of this concept into your being, you are Being.

But there is another step to understand, because we then question, if I am Being, is everything I do God's will? No, it is not. Because you have to further understand being and God Being. In the first being, you have the realization that you are God, albeit in a limited sense. In other words, you might believe the concept that you really are God, but your limited sense of consciousness prevents you from fully accepting it. So maybe during your decree sessions or a wonderful meditation in the consciousness of God, you come back from those experiences and you say to yourself, "I really am God."

El Morya reminds us in order to Be God, we must first affirm He is within, then have the intent to do his will. Take note, he says personal externalized intent, as I will discuss this later.

" What I AM affirming is the great necessity for individuals themselves to behold God in the tabernacle of their own Being, and then to fashion their lives in accordance with the Design of the Great Master Builder, not only through the reinforcement of the Divine Intent within them, but also through the reinforcement of their own personal externalized intent to do the Will of God." 3

To maintain that feeling of purity in the world around you is a difficult task. You feel bogged down in negative energies from without and even from within as you deal with unresolved psychological issues. So we again have to return to the inner meditations and prayer, and the pureness of being over and over to reestablish and affirm our Being.

In our sense of transcendence of the not-self, we realize our imperfections and we know God is not imperfect. And our reasoning suggests via our minds, that if we were really God we would not be imperfect. And thus God could not be where we are. And in a sense that is true, but not. The I AM Presence, which represents to us our God purity and being, is not able to be in the imperfect state in which we live. But in our transcending of our human, carnal consciousness, we draw nigh to God, our I AM Presence, and he draws nigh to us. We accept that he is our Real Self, and the sufferings and mistakes we make in our life are not God, although the energy we use to experience sufferings and create our sins, is of God.

The difference is that God is not miscreations. God is Perfection. And so God gave us our Holy Christ self to mediate between this perfection of the I AM Presence and our mortal being experimenting in the world of form and the imperfect self.

So day after day, year after year, we put off the old man, and put on the new. We peel off the layers of the carnal consciousness and put on, or allow, the layers of the reality of Being, our Christ consciousness to unfold. At some time in this process, enough of our God consciousness is internalized and we begin to experience the reality of who we really are, God.

And then we are caught betwixt the real and unreal world of "being in the world, but not of the world." We know reality in God through being who we are. But we also know we still fall into the unreality of being who we think we are, the limited sinful self, on occasion, because we live in the world of free will. How do we switch over to the reality of being God Being from just being in the understanding that we really are God?

Enter the will of God

As we put off the old man and put on the new, we realize that God's will is for us to not sin, to love thy neighbor as thyself, to do unto others that which we would have others do unto us, through right use of the energy of God, through our free will. We are given free will to choose God over anything outside of God's perfection. And what is outside of God's perfection? Anything that is imperfect. And man creates imperfection through misuse of his free will.

Man was created in the image of God, thus the perfection of God. El Morya told us:

" When the term "made in his image and likeness" was used in the ancient writings–it referred to the "I AM", in whose pattern (or image) man was created as a God-free being, which is the selfsame thought or divine conception which he, God still holds for the creation of his own heart."4

We were created to be a God-free being and destined to return back to God's perfection after our sojourn in matter, by the right use of free will.

The divine will sought to create, and create he did a majestic and finalizing plan for the beautiful unfoldment of the soul in the knowledge of the created self. And with the plan was given the means for the creation to keep pace with his own transcendent nature.

God sought to bestow, and the best gift that he could give was the gift of his will. For by his will he framed the far-off worlds, and by his will he sustained the momentum of life within each cell. 1

We, God's creation, now have gone out from the full awareness of who we are, into the limited, veiled consciousness of human form to regain the sense of Being as the created self, through free will. God wanted to experience himself through Being. In other words, we are God and always have been. The greatest gift we can give back to God for his creating of our individualization, is to use our free will to be. And in that realization that we are God, and that God is being through us, God is in the world of form. And our eyes are his. As we open our mouth, he speaks. As we walk the earth, he walks. And lo and behold God is not just an unconscious being walking the physical planes, or the energy making up all matter, but He is living, breathing, beholding His creation from within His created extension of Himself.

We ponder El Morya's words on what the will of God is:

" How do you separate the will of God from him? Is his will a separate gratuity, an element of his grace which he gives to man? And if so, why does man not know it? Does man know in part and sense in part the holy will of God? If so, what derision is it that seeks to mock the will?

It is the witless sophistry of sense meandering. It is the desire to rebel against the fashion of real beauty. It is the sense of separation and shame.

The will of God is the flawless diamond, it is the shining of the Divine Mind, it is the rushing of the wind of the Spirit, and it is the strength and laughter of real identity. The will of God that seems so simple a thing is the most complex organism in the universe. From it sprang full-blown the entire scheme of cosmos, worlds without end–circles, pinwheels, spiral nebulae in cosmos, and the whole sidereal sea, all glowing fire-gems responding to the ministrations of the divine will." 1

Perfect Love Cast out all Fear

We come to the realization that we are God. We accept God Being in our temple through our free will. And now we are God and know it. Now are we still in the realm of free will? Have we not transcended the need of the entity of free will that He created for us? Are we not simply His will in everything we do? Or do we remain in the vibration of doubt and fear, which is the poison of non-will, non-being?

Oh, how we wish we simply were just being His will and that was that. For as long as we doubt who we are, we will not transcend free will. As long as we fear to be that which we came to embody in the flame of Being, we are not doing God's will.

And El Morya tells us that what takes us away from the will of God is fear.

" It is fear–fear of death and fear of illusion–that has caused some men to fail to hold themselves in that state of consciousness wherein the will of God could manifest through them."

And thus in the adage, "Perfect love casts out all fear" we see the way out of our fears. El Morya tells us "Therefore the law of Love would bestow upon man the means to contact and to know the will of God."1 Love is the key, the motto that Shangra-la was built upon because God so willed to have a place in this world where we truly know God Being. And so in that manifestation of love in everything we do, we are that Will of God that we long to be.

" The will of God is the thunder of universal love. It is the strength of the right arm of the Almighty. It is the fire of his devotion and the best gift to his children."

"In the Great Forever, in the beginningness of all things, God saw light and he was light. Out of his light went forth the beauty of loving purpose, and in him was no darkness at all nor could there be darkness there. This was the inviolate will of God–the same yesterday, today, and forever."

" ....those who cognize the will of God as the first vibration of his magnificent love will not be moved by the chirping of crickets, the boom of cannon, or the threatening ones. Fear assaults the will of God, but the calm knowing of infinite love shatters the opaqueing conditions that scream from the minds of the depraved." 2

And the second corollary to being the will of God was the desiring of perfection. And in God's infinite love, he bestowed his forgiveness upon his creation for their choice of being outside of His will, to partake of evil. God knew the possibility of Himself, through descending as His creation into the world of form, might violate free will. El Morya tells us:

"The knowledge of good and evil, of duality, of the temporal and opposing factions that were within the range of the free will of the person–these came forth first as possibility and then as the looming shadows of karmic violation and disobedience to good will. The tenets of brotherhood were clearly stated in the golden rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

But each violation produced its correspondent blot, its stain upon the page, and the Lords of Karma spoke: "This departure from the law of Good is but a repetition of the voices sent forth unto discord." But there was an overthrust, a compulsion of the will of God, that sought to teach by the chastening of the law, thus to avoid the repetition of error.

The necessity of the will of God was clear. But while perfect love casts out all fear, for fear has torment, what should be done for the impoverished ones, those who had lost their perfect love from the beginningness of God?

" Let them at least," said the Great Ones, "understand that God chastens those whom he loves, and that he continues to love out of the bounty of his forgivingness." Thus the will of God toward forgiveness was born in the consciousness of man. It was a step toward the regaining of perfection; for as men understood that as they had sowed so should they reap, a desire to have perfection arose within them. This desire to return to perfection through grace became the second corollary of the will of God. Now the children of men who had erred saw the need to correct the error of their ways and thus be restored to the old boundaries of perfection–the perfection of perfect love.

"Consider the lilies of the field; they toil not, neither spin...." The cadences of the Master's words were dripping with the fires of that perfect love that is his perfect will. 2

What is God Being?

We come back to what is God Being? We know that we may find the will of God through love, through perfecting ourselves. We know that in knowing that we are truly God, we are Being. And we may realize that the final step to God Being is the realization of both perfect love and the acceptance of ourselves as God.

You say there is no perfection on earth? And that is so, no human perfection. But God is perfect. Our I AM Presence is perfect. That which we can manifest in the world of form through perfect love is perfect. If we wait until we are perfect to accept our God divinity, we will never get there. Tomorrow never comes. There is only the eternal now.

"The desire for perfection is a natural manifestation of a perfect God shining behind his perfect manifestation, but all that which proceeds out of imperfection is against the divine nature.

The will of God is a security beyond belief, beyond faith, and even beyond manifestation, for it is the solemnly beautiful beaming of the tenderness of the Father's care for his creation.

Left undisturbed and permitted to express the elements of their cosmic identity, individuals would see themselves leaping into the arms of perfect love–the perfect love of God. 4

And in my final thoughts on God Being, I have to address the words of El Morya stated earlier, in that we have our own personal externalized intent to do the Will of God. What does that mean? If we are Being God, his will, are we set to be a certain automaton? Do we react to the world around us the same, loving and kind? What does it mean to externalize a unique, personal intent of the will of God?

For some it means being the flame of truth, as Pallas Athena. For others it means being the epitome of the loving Mother, as Mother Mary is. For still others, it is being the purple, fiery heart of a Saint Germain. There is not automaton in heaven. There is only the expression of the flame of God through a unique embodiment of the soul of God, individualized through the flame of the rays of God.

As El Morya expressed and still expresses God's will in myriad ways, we also express our flames uniquely. And one might stand up and shout his fiats of gratitude to the Lord, and another sit in quiet meditation chanting "Thy will oh God is good." And there is no right or wrong in the expression of his will. There is only Being.

"And so he heard the melody of the divine will. Some call it the music of the spheres, others perceive it in the faces of humanity.

Some cognize it in the revelations of science, others in the kingdoms of nature, while still others realize it in cloister. Retreating from the world, they hear it in the measured flow of the hours, in service, and in prayer.

All have heard it, but all have not recognized it. Only the few are able to see that which glistens like whitecaps upon the waves.1
