    In HeartStream #27, we are told that "OUR LIGHT CANNOT BE HID UNDER A BUSHEL IF WE ARE TO ENTER THE REVELATORY REALMS OF THE BUDDHAS."

    WEEK 5 QUESTION:

    HOW WILL YOU, HAVING RECEIVED THE LIGHT OF DIVINE WISDOM IN YOUR LIFE, FURTHER ITS CAUSE AND DELIVER ITS MESSAGE OF HOPE TO ALL?

    There are so many levels of understanding the wisdom of the masters' teachings, its difficult to feel out how to answer this question in terms of the vast variety of humanity we encounter in our lives. I always try to see each individual as a fellow traveler on a path which we sometimes cross, and say or do something in accordance to the energy of the moment. In other words, I try to be as spontaneous as I can to keep the energy fresh so that the moment becomes some kind of stepping stone for the other one leading forward at least, trying to avoid providing a stumbling block. Do I know what the effects will be? I can only hope to get out of my way to let the higher Self be the encounter that the other one needs. Gotta let go and LET BE!

    Question #5 Heartstream 27

    Upon reflection, the words of a song came to me, “A river eternal is flowing with beauty and light from the sun…”1 To keep our light from being under the bushel basket we need to let it flow like the river eternal that streams forth from the Sun center of life. Having received the light how will I keep it flowing? My plan is to keep a constant momentum of prayers and decrees and to keep my heart and mind open to opportunities to serve and to pollinate the earth with positive energy wherever I go. I chose the word pollinate because I was thinking about the bees who perform an immense service to mankind in their humble way. We can consciously plant seeds of light along the many pathways we create for the blessing of all who will follow.
    This class has given my life a new spin and infusion of light. Some dramatic changes have occurred that I am sure are a direct result of this acceleration. I am contemplating how to “reinvest that light in good works carried out to his glory”. The re-connection with Clare de Lis is profound and as long as I can maintain the tether she will be there to guide and assist me. The 33 Heartstreams are truly a treasure that I am sure many of us will re-read at a future date. As we evolve in consciousness, a fresh look at these teachings will surely reveal a deeper understanding as the message is delivered on many levels.

    What I meant by "a constant momentum of prayers and decrees" was constancy in my momentum. Those of us who have to work and function in this world have to just keep the flame in our hearts as we go about our business. robert

    Having received these Wisdom Teachings over many years I know that I have absorbed much of this wisdom and it has become part of me. The Master's are an incredible source of Wisdom/Knowledge. Their methods of imparting their great wisdom is softly shared most of the time. Often when I read scientific reports and books etc., I say to myself, 'they should ask the Master's for clarification' on this or that. For eg.. The recent Nobel Physics Prize given for new knowledge on An Expanding Universe is knowledge that the Masters would have gladly given out.

    I share my wisdom in a quiet way, knowing that the wisdom yet to be aquired is unmeasurable. However I do not always hide my light under a bushel. My world is relatvely small and when those around me ask for clarification on biblical/everyday knowledge I offer the source where they can read for themselves with understanding. Omraam is a terrific source. When it is appropriate I tell them how I received all this knowledge /wisdom. Even if they are not ready yet they respect for the most part, that I have a light under my bushel.

    We all have many talents. As our light increases and as we resolve our psychology, we express more joy, and have more energy. From this ever-increasing spiritual foundation we can do all that we, in truth, love to do, for it will include the expansion of Light within us, and attract our self-enlightened interest. This understanding does not include hiding our Light under a bushel, for that would be counter productive.

    I will further the Cause of Light's Divine Wisdom I have received by my Sacred Activism. I am reading Andrew Harvey's book, The Hope. WOW. I love his explanation of cool and warm practices, "both essential for the fusion of sacred passion and sacred peace," and his explanation of the Path of Radical Embodiment.
    I desire to be onfire and to be a passionate change agent acting from a bodhisattva's perspective. I'm advocating for everyone to read his book. Harvey shares what the Dalai Lama calls "universal responsibility" and what he means by being a Sacred Activist. Page 128 sparks with fire as he warms you up with, "It means always remembering to pray for the happiness and safety of all sentient beings, both when you begin your private spiritual practices and when you end them; it means dedicating all merits and benefits of your practice, both at the beginning and at the end, to all other beings everywhere; it means committing to being deeply informed on the major crises afflicting our planet, especially our growing environmental challenges; it means having the integrity to see that your money is not invested in corporations that destroy the environment or exploit sweatshop labor; it means buying a fuel-efficient car and taking as much public transportation as you can; it means becoming aware..." of the animals we slaughters, of massive environmental abuse, of honoring our civic and voting duties, scrutinizing our consumer habits and more.
    He spoke to me with an honesty about "the hopelessness of "the unspoken belief that every one is so involved in the "system" that it is impossible to do something real and useful." His response is empowering. I now see reading The Hope as a new guide to shining my light.

    The major work is self transcendence. Many of us have had many lifetimes, some lifetimes may have been brillant lights to the world and some of these lives may have been less than our Father/Mother GOD would have envisioned for us. In Light of the Law of Karma or the Law of Experience there are momentums within us that require transformation. As we commit ourselves to this work, we begin to shine; as particles of the Not Self that have been created in this lifetime and previous lifetimes are transmuted, the light; a very small light at first, begins to grow.

    This major work requires diligence and fortitude. The goal is to Shine our Light; which was bestowed upon us in the beginning by our Heavenly Parents. As we do the work of the Masters, and do all those things we have been taught to do and as we continue to receive instructions daily via the magnificent dispensation of the HeartsCenter and our own Mighty I AM PRESENCE, our Light continues to grow. And for what purpose do you ask that we Shine, the one and only reason is to manifest God in our physical temple and to be God's full expression of himself in matter.

    As this Light continues to grow and becomes a Bon Fire of crystal diamond shining light, we can no longer be hid by darkness, the human ego or anything that is less than Divine Providence. This Light will go out into the world saving all sentient life, showing them the way back to God, as they in turn begin the mighty work of the ages and become their own Shining Suns/Sons!

    Our World, our Mother Earth, because of the transformation of the Sons and Daughters of God, becomes a Shining Sun herself, a daughter of the Great Center Sun, which enhances the entire universe.

    Rebeese - I love your bee analogy - it is so meaningful to me as I have bees and I am presently acting as a Guardian of bees by allowing them to live in a sustainable way. They are so gentle and beautiful to watch and as you said, so valuable to the earth. I find I too, learn so much from them.
    Thanks!

    I am futhering it's cause and delivering it's message of hope in a practical way through everything I do in : my career, my gardening, my work from my passion of permaculture, my work with preschool children and their families and with my coworkers and within my immediate and extended circle of influence (family, friends, enemies and communities ) and by visuallizing my emanations through meditation, prayer and decrees going out in concentric rings to the whole world and universe. By zeroing in or honing in on specific world situations I can affect change through my daily offerings energywise. By being the Great Me I can profer my world all that I am. Therefore I believe it is important to continually work on myself by addressing layers of my Psychology, and by continually studying, learning, and practicing what I learn in action and by growing every day until my Ascension.

    My response to question #5 can be summerized in three words...Prayer, example, and sharing. Praying for the victory and healing of heartfriends and souls who desire to hear the teachings. Having heartfriends over to hear the words and messages of God and the Ascended Masters through decree and prayer and sharing of Teachings when appropriate. By putting the wisdom and light recieved into action myself and thereby naturally inspiring others. Praying for the new ways of Light to be received, awakened to and utilized by ALL and earth itself. thankyou

    By shining my light and love on others through prayer, words of understanding, love and wisdom, helping them remove blocks to the fullest expression of their own light, participating together in the joy of the upturned bushels of light we see all around us and throughout the worlld, joining my light with others to make more light, enjoying the light that is growing in so many places and ways, as the light swallows up the darkness around the world, rejoicing daily in the Light of God that always prevails!

    I appreciate the depth of this answer, Patricia. Very complete. For me, my immediate task is to find real-life avenues to do this in addition to shining my light with the people I connect with in ordinary encounters. I am being led to returning to spiritual care work at a local hospital, to serving on a few committees in the co-housing village in which I live, and in helping create an even more beautiful life with my partner, you.

    I have always taken to heart that it is through Action that we can further the light of divine wisdom and deliver its message of hope to all. El Morya, whose middle name is Action, is my Guru, as well as Clare de Lis and Lanello whose lives and past lives demonstrate how they furthered Divine Wisdom for all of us through their dedication and selfless service.
    I began my service to life by teaching yoga and meditation while I was a student of Siddha Yoga, a Hindu Path for ten years. Then I met El Morya and Elizabeth Prophet. What an initiation! Decrees were very foreign to me as I spent 10 years in meditation in the ashram, although we chanted gloriously day and night. Once I got hold of the decrees there was such empowerment. I became a co-creator, an alchemist, with God and Saint Germain. Another initiation! I further the cause of the Brotherhood through constancy in prayer, meditation, chanting, decreeing and offering of Fiat. Very effective.
    To further the work of the Masters, I dedicated my Master's degree thesis to my Siddha Yoga gurus and Elizabeth Prophet, El Morya and Saint Germain. It is entitled, "Alchemy of the Soul, Parzival and the Quest for the Holy Grail". It contains teachings on alchemy, the Cosmic Clock, as well as Jungian depth psychology. It is published in the Library of Congress and is accessible to the world. I offer this on the altar to these My Gurus and the Brotherhood of Light in Thanksgiving for all they have given to me with Great Respect and Love.
    I am designing a website now. I hired a programmer and it will be up soon, I hope! It is to further the teachings of yoga and meditation for the world. It is still alchemical so no more info. on this except that I hope to provide links to the Hearts Center. I ask for your prayers and support. Thank you.
    Finally, I am offering meditation SatSang groups at my home for Hearts Center friends and lightbearers that I meet. Sat Sang means the gathering of saints. Eventually I hope this will expand to an actual Yoga and Meditation center in my town. This appears to be my dharma, to teach yoga and meditation to spread the Light of Divine Wisdom to all.I particularly want to do outreach to the Indigo children and teens who need a place to go where these higher teachings on their Christic & Buddhic initiations will be taught. Unfortunately, I tried to teach meditation in public schools as an Art teacher but was told to stop by the parents and my principal, who told me to stop in a very loving and judicious way, for which I was thankful. The response from my students however, reinforced in me their affinity to meditate. They loved it and missed it when I had to stop. I told them, now they know how and may continue to do it on their own. Now I want to create a place where they may go and practice their yoga.

    I honor all you have written here with Mr. Harvey. As a conscious being I am learning that everything we do, as small as grabbing an extra paper towel or reusing a plastic bag has an effect on our world. Every choice is in a sense karma-making, for ill or good.
    I used to think my parents were fanatical about turning off lights, lowering the thermostat, etc. Now I realize that this teaching has now been translated to me through love...love and respect for the Mother, nature, resources, water, the air we breathe. Mankind is waking up. It is high time we take this examination of our lives and Simplify them, return to the land and learn from our Native Americans true harmony with the Mother who gives us everything. We should not take her for granted."...scrutinizing our consumer habits and more. We can do something "real and useful" every day. Thank you.

    Dear Constance, as you wrote "I share my wisdom in a quiet way, knowing that the wisdom yet to be acquired is unmeasurable" I felt a deep appreciation. Too many try to impose their wisdom and knowledge upon people who are not ready to receive the "whole loaf" of the Master's teachings. It actually turns some people off. We need to be sensitive to people who want the teachings, just not overwhelm them. To allow for their questions and offering sources where as you said, "they can read for themselves with understanding" is a wonderful caring way to give people the pieces they desire. Trusting that their I Am Presence will lead them and giving them the opportunity to approach you is a respectful way to share your light, love and wisdom. Thank you. Pamela

    My Light cannot be hid under a bushel, for I claim a constant and growing awareness of my etheric body in my Solar Presence, my Holy Christ Buddha Self, my three fold flame and my chakras.
    I love and choose to serve the masters through the Hearts Center.
    Being aware of world conditions, I send light for a divine alchemy.
    Helping facilitate a study group in Mt Shasta I assist holding the balance on the West Coast.
    I assist souls who are ill and those who have passed from the screen of life through intercessory prayer and nursing, which has been a major outlet for service in this life.
    Predawn meditation, prana breathing, sungazing conscious eating, and exercise facilitate the free flow of light.

    I will further the light of divine wisdom by being a conduit for the light to shine to the world through my heart. As I envision a radiant, enlightened civilization and as I work on becoming more radiant and enlightened each day, the evolutions of earth will become increasingly more aware of the Aquarian principles of brotherhood, peace, and love. Once the truth is known, there is no turning back and people will not be able to be fooled any longer. I will consciously step up my efforts to radiate light and love into everything I do and to everyone I meet!Joyce

    In the past, I did a lot more than I do now, from teaching classes on emotional clearing and study group work. I haven’t really done anything for the past few years. I just been give thanks and praise to God for everything I see and have. If someone asks, I share my perspective, but I don’t try to make anyone believe what I believe. When their soul is ready and time is right, they will find the teacher or the teachings. God works in mysterious ways. Mostly, I just let go and let God.

    I have been working to change my psychology, I believe things are changing in me for the better, my heart is opening and I am centered more in my heart, my light is shining brighter. I have the masters to thank for this especially Mother Mary who has been clearing blocks from the past and teaching me many things, so that I may better serve the family of God in the earth. The wisdom of the mother flame is tremendous, I pray that I may live up to all that has been given me to assist those who I serve to better their lives in a more productive way. I am truly grateful to be of service, to provide a listening ear, a smile , a hug or what ever it takes. I won't know the full impact of my service to life until later, there are moments when grateful ones share their gratitude, then I know a difference in their lives has occurred. Clara Louise motto was I live to serve, I love to serve, I serve to set life free, as a representative of the Mother flame this my motto too.

    In heartstream # 27 Clare de lis directs our attention to
    our real purpose here upon earth and responsibility in bringing realignment in having earth return to its Edenic
    state.

    "We have all been created in the Law of the One" she says.
    This law is the Law of Love. Through this law great opportunity is afforded us for realignment of heaven and
    earth. Through our expression of love, we bring great healing to earth. Our heart blossoms and the world about us as we
    send love emanations to all life.

    Clare de lis also brings assistance to us through mantras
    we can use.

    "I claim the light of my Presence now " in this or that
    situation.
    "I am the victory of this cause manifesting now because
    God lives where I am."

    Through invoking light, prayer, meditation, mantras, service,
    and emanating of love into my world, I work upon fulfilling
    my responsibility and not hiding my light under a bushel.

    I further the light of divine wisdom by keeping my emotions under control. I display God's virtues in my being 24/7, I use my spiritual practices of meditation and prayers to send light into the cosmos for the healing of the collective negative energies.
    I claim my divinity with our Father/Mother God and declare to the universe We are One! As I embody the Christ in me, I am able to show all I meet each day how we all can be sons and daughters of God where every need is being met even when we have earthly problems to solve that seem impossible. By my example to others with peace and harmony, I am able to show Hope.
