WHEN WORKING with the constant and inevitable changes which occur in our lives, two words of advice are invaluable: pacing and patience. These can help us in the evolutionary growth process into spiritual consciousness; for there is hardly a New Age worker who is not impatient to get to the ultimate goal in a hurry.
But hurrying can defeat us. We must beware of trying to grow too fast, too soon. Nature, through the patient growth process of many plants and animals, gives us a clue. Also, it is often spoken of in parables and allegories, fables and myths; such as the story of the tortoise and the hare, and the parable that all seeds bring forth their fruit in their own time.
No one, no matter how advanced or prophetically informed, has the right to set the pacing for anyone else’s spiritual growth. This applies to everyone, as to the mass educational program now unfolding on Earth from hierarchal masters and guides.
Good sense dictates that we form a ladder by which all can climb to higher plateaus of understanding and demonstration of spiritual gifts. The hierarchal plan, as unfolded through the Mark-Age Unit and its directors since prior to 1960, has been in the form of a ladder which we light workers have had to climb. As each rung was secured in our consciousnesses and then was demonstrated to others, it provided a solid base on which millions of others could stand. Having seen this verified repeatedly over the years, we are confident in sharing and teaching it. It is the essence of truth and common sense; and common sense is the real test of truth on every level we seek to apply.
But why is it necessary to go at a slow, methodical, thorough pace in spiritual growth? Why must our patience at times be strained to the limit, to the breaking point? It is because we are in an experimental period for the New Age. The New Age will bring us into awareness, knowledge and use of higher spiritual principles and powers. Every form of life and expression on this planet will be stepped up and functioning at a hitherto-unknown pace.
If those light workers who are pioneers into the new pacing do not test out thoroughly what is needed to live in that new vibratory rate, and they succumb to the pressures of the new area of consciousness, then the millions who follow them will fall into the same pits. We have seen this wherever there are not conscientious concern and a sense of higher responsibility in family situations, businesses, new products, inventions and frontiers. The examples are endless in human history, both on the material plane as well as in the spiritual program. It is necessary to test the positive as well as the negative reactions of each new vibratory level.
Mark-Age Unit #7 has been designated, among other functions, as the testing unit for the Hierarchy. The United Staff at headquarters is trained to realize that what each one experiences is an opportunity for masters and teachers on the inner planes to gauge and to compute vibratory changes for the rest of the New Age leaders everywhere on the planet, whether they know of us or not.
We examine, both in ourselves individually and as a group, the pros and the cons of each new step, each new experience, each new concept. We evaluate these areas — as though specific rungs to be scaled on a ladder — and consider what others might experience as they climb upwards into cosmic consciousness and applications.
Each one is an individual. No two persons react to the same condition in exactly the same way. But generalities and safety measures are helpful. These are developed through prayers and projections, decrees and visualizations. Sometimes they are shared on our meditation broadcasts or in our periodicals. They also are projected to individuals, groups and the masses on Earth in hierarchal meditations or in daily noon Project Power sessions. We are not expected to know everything and to control every exigency. But every thought is a thing; and our positive projections and visualizations help build a solid foundation, a safe rung on this ladder into the fourth dimension.
Three Levels of Application
To develop pacing and patience, one must understand the manner in which the hierarchal program is externalized on Earth. It is accomplished by a transfer of hierarchal energies through three basic areas or levels of program application.
First, there are the celestial and the etheric levels, from where we get the information for the overall plan for our planet and solar system. This hierarchal plan affects the spiritual growth of every being in our solar system.
Second, there is the externalization of this plan through light workers, leaders and teachers who are demonstrating and applying the hierarchal teachings on the planet during this Mark Age period and program.
Third, there is further manifestation of the spiritual program through our individual and personal lives and in relationships with family, friends and close associates in our activities, whether these be in schools, businesses, professions or through the interactions of our neighborhood living. The hierarchal plan thus is spread throughout every form of life and expression in the race consciousness.
Let us take these three levels of application and examine how well we understand and are willing to apply truth principles in our chosen way of life for this Latter-Day accelerated program of lifting ourselves and all others on the planet into a new dimension of understanding and living.
The first level involves the celestial and the etheric planes, where the plans are conceived. Many of us undoubtedly have contributed to or have participated in this from the high Self. But not one of us on Earth is qualified to know all the plans, all the ramifications, all the alternate routes available to accomplish the hierarchal plan for evolutionary growth throughout our solar system.
Not on any level of our teaching and guiding can we ever fail to realize that the entire solar system, every dimension or plane of existence, is involved in this change of frequency. Therefore, no one group, let alone a single individual, is qualified to know everything that goes on in astral, etheric and celestial planes. We each have roles to play in this cosmic drama. We each are interdependent upon many others to play our own roles and to support others.
The master coordination for the hierarchal program takes place on Sananda’s ship #10 in the etheric. For Sananda is the rightful Prince of Earth, and his spiritual role and mission are to coordinate all information, all events — pro and con, positive steps forward and negative steps backward — to make decisive and effective recommendations.
It is not up to those on Earth to make definitive plans and recommendations of how to externalize the hierarchal plan and program. That is why we at Mark-Age have rejected such man-made policies and programs. We depend entirely on guidance from those of etheric and celestial planes to give us their recommendations.
This requires cleansing and purification of inner consciousness to receive that guidance. There are many channels who receive hierarchal guidance; it is impossible for one channel or group to receive everything. But it all must fit together, otherwise it would imply disorder, disagreement and confusion by those who are in the higher spheres and who, without question, are qualified and united.
The second level of application is that of externalizing the plan through the light workers. As we have been instructed, we are to present this hierarchal plan through the I Am Nation in five divisions of activity: I Am Network of Light, I Am Nation News, University of Life, Healing Haven, and Centers of Light.
But we do not make up the plan. We do not push our timing and pacing on other groups or individuals, be they secular or esoteric activities. We work silently and on the inner first, with a small and select number of individuals. We present introductory material to be picked up and acted upon by those who are receptive. We never insist; nor do we condemn those who do not receive with acceptance and cordiality what we present. Where truth and justice and right thinking are present, we know the time must come somewhere, sometime for acceptance.
Patience at this level is difficult but extremely necessary. One cannot force an idea on anyone not prepared to understand it. But one cannot stop an idea when its time finally has arrived.
The third level of externalizing the program is through personal application in your everyday life and affairs. Examine yourself and the overall pacing of the hierarchal program. Intune with the mentors who guide you from the higher planes. Come up with your own inner answers, as instructed by your I Am Self and master teachers. Project these solutions and ideas to the masses through your decrees and visualizations, that each one will be inspired from his or her high Self. This is our strength in the linking-of-lights program.
Consider first your deepest motives. Are they to show superiority over others, to gain power, to justify love and loyalty to you and your ideas? Be sure your motives are pure, because otherwise they will backfire. You will become subjected to those very things you are trying to teach and to demonstrate to others.
Next, examine carefully how you want to present, through your example and everyday living, this knowledge of the hierarchal program that confronts and affects every man, woman and child on Earth in this age of marks.
Are you willing to wait patiently for others to comprehend and to accept; just as you want your own higher Self, the I Am within you, to wait and to be patient with your mortal habits and falsities? Or, do you want to force growth on others? If you do, know your higher Self will force spiritual means and methods on you in a similar manner, to make you understand the pain and the difficulties of such attitudes. Recognize also that moving too fast and too soon can be forced on you via other sources or individuals with whom you will have conflicts, embarrassment and confusion.
Are you willing to live by, and do you understand the ramifications of, the law of cause and effect? Are you patient towards your spiritual growth and that of others? Do you tune in to the pace of your I Am Self?
Pray that all of us will make this commitment now to make spiritual changes with greater understanding and application of pacing and patience.

My function and purpose are as the guardian of that which is the most precious part of your total being: your spiritual Self. . . . This [I Am] Self body or light form has come to be made manifest upon the Earth third dimensional frequency again.
activity independent of the personality engram and the soul dis-grace. [See Mark-Age text
It is from that moment on that a chemicalization takes place, unknown and uncontrolled and unhampered by the physical, mortal mind. It is not something that you can direct, that you can ask for, that you can halt. It is something that is the responsibility only of those protectors, guardians who have aligned themselves with the light frequency. They alone may dissolve the physical form or replace it with the light body or resurrected form; all the time the pivotal point being your astral or soul consciousness. This naturally is your responsibility, as an individual, as a special creation, as a unique personality Self, the higher Self.
As this overshadowing becomes more annunciated in the individual, he begins to reap the benefits of a higher form of inspiration and guidance than ever before and uses it in his everyday matters and relationships. This then spreads to each person that is contacted and increases the vibratory rate of the higher Self body of those involved. This may or may not trigger off a whole new spore of activity within those individuals. The more light workers that are at work in spreading this consciousness and infusing this level of vibratory rate in others, the sooner the unconscious individual becomes accelerated to the point of awareness of his or her own light form.
The important issue for you to know, to understand and to believe beyond all doubt is that the Father and I are one. For I am in the Father and the Father is in me. I am created from the Father, as each of you is created from the Father. We are one, for we are one in Christ spirit. The only Son of God is the Christ spirit. Each man aims toward his Christ consciousness, which is his Godliness, instead of his mortal self, which is body and physical.
Of all the ones to bring manifested body form into light frequency, Jesus is the supreme one and the example for all of us to follow. For although he demonstrated many things in his day during that incarnation, it was not his teachings, it was not his ethics, it was not his personality that are to be expressed and to be exemplified or to be honored at this time. It was, and still remains to be exampled and followed, that which he brought about through the resurrection of the flesh into the light body, and the ascension of that light body in full-manifested glory before those of fleshly understanding and mortal, material consciousness. No one has duplicated that or has seconded it.
Secondly, he could remove himself from place to place and actually transport himself from behind locked doors or a tomb, if need be. Also, he could teleport from place to place or be dissolved from physical apparatus in a certain given geographical area and no longer be seen with the physical eye. This is dematerialization, in your parlance of understanding.
that occurred here upon the Earth planet in the days of the Cains and the Abels, who fought out their control and command over matter and the manipulating of the forms in three-dimensional frequency development. . . .
You may be assured we have not forgotten our promise of demonstrations, which must surely be upon many in the days ahead. It has become necessary that you face this constantly and that you work toward it and that you believe in it. Also, you must desire this fervently, otherwise it cannot manifest in you. . . .
This has served to balance out many things also on the Earth. Not necessarily condoning it, I can still say with true appreciation that it has given a certain service to mankind’s evolvement in this New Age and for this final and culminating point in his evolution from third into fourth dimensional consciousness. For it has served to strengthen and to enlighten the material mind and force around which the higher energies and vibrations were to circulate. That is why it is important that man be brought up to a physical peak of perfection and understanding and consciousness in order to bring about his spiritual effectiveness.
We continue to think of ourselves as separate from the Christ within, as though we can have an existence away from, in spite of, or in addition to the Spirit that is within us equally. This is man’s original sin, and no other. There is no separation, there can be no separation. The hell and the torment and the sins that follow from this original sin are the sins created upon sin from thinking we are separate from God. God has created us, each of us, and God stands with us whether we stand with God or not. . . .
Within Divine Mind is a perfect pattern or image for mankind’s physical body on Earth. One’s physical body manifests generally according to that divine image, but also according to one’s thoughts and actions in the present and prior lifetimes on Earth. Therefore, although there may be karmic debts being paid off via physical-body impairments of some kind, that divine pattern still exists in my consciousness.
But since my mortal consciousness and my physical and astral bodies have not been in full accord or alignment always with my Christ Self and light body, there have been or now are errors in my thinking and/or bodies. I take it upon myself to take any and all corrective actions to cleanse those errors, as I may know of them already or as they are brought to my attention. In this manner do I assist in the healing of my mind, body and soul.
In consciousness I rise into this pyramid and seek to be one with my Christ Self consciousness. It is the I Am consciousness that directs the healing of my physical and astral bodies via the brain of my physical body.
We visualize the appropriate one or more of the Seven Rays of Life bathing the person or the situation. The colors and basic attributes of the Seven Rays are as follows. [See also our booklet Seven Rays of Life.]
So, as part of this project, let us put here a slightly different emphasis upon Sananda’s command. By inserting a comma, we include another aspect of our responsibilities as children of God: Heal, humanity! That is, mankind should heal those errors he has committed against the Earth and other kingdoms here; and then heal the error conditions into which his actions against these kingdoms have forced them, so as to cause great upheaval and disharmonies of many kinds in their own living and evolution within their species.
I visualize the elemental kingdom being healed of the errors man has committed against it. Elementals, you who make up the very matter of the Earth, please accept our apologies for what man of Earth has done against you. Elementals, please visualize with us the healing of this error condition, and the establishment of the proper, divinely intended relationship between us.
In the life that you know as Jesus of Nazareth, I brought forth a teaching and a pattern, an experience, by which each and every man on the Earth, three-dimensional plane could evolve into Christ awareness. Follow this pattern and know that you will achieve what you know that I had achieved through Earth consciousness, through Earth incarnation, unto spiritual resurrection, as well as full transmutation into the next dimension.
function; their roles cannot be played in full, until they have personally experienced some of what must be experienced by the average person on the Earth plane during this Mark Age period of time. Therefore, you are seeing individual evolutions and progress — therefore, you are seeing individual understandings and growth — in the consciousness of personalities known to you now as teachers and leaders in this program.
You have around you thousands of workers, on all levels and planes, who will aid you when you begin to open up the eye of seeing into the higher frequencies. But we ask not that you seek this, but that you seek the spiritual development from within, that you seek God in you, that you seek the kingdom of Spirit first. For then all these other things will be added unto you, the intellectual explanations will be clear, the expressions and experiences of other teachers and realms will be vivid to you, and you can relax and be confident in what you do experience.
There is a transfer taking place in the physical bodies of those light workers who have prepared for this exchange of one frequency form for another on the Earth planet. It has taken many years of development, preparation, understanding, cleansing and pure desire.
For all are vibrations, all are form, all are in some sort of set pattern or frequency that serves that particular level of demonstration or activity. There is never any sudden or immediate step or goal that changes instantaneously everything that has been set up to operate in a frequency or in a certain dimension, whether it be a planet or an inner plane or an outer space reign of light.
But this is also true of that which you eat and that with which you exchange in social activities and in mental activities. Whatever you participate in is of a vibratory frequency that has to be recorded in the soul development and in this anchoring process I just have explained. Therefore, if you eat or think or socialize with elements disharmonious to your own progress as a spiritual individual in a physical form, you will have certain additional unpleasantnesses that cannot be incorporated or aligned properly with the ongoing process we just have explained.
But should you not wish to do this we cannot infringe, nor force you to do it, and you will not be able to sustain the higher energies as they come into the planet itself. This has to do with the atmosphere of the planet also as it is being changed by this electromagnetic equipment and it is being changed by the movement of the heavenly bodies in our solar system and beyond.
In that physical form you have a soul memory pattern or record that is like a computer: your subconscious mind. This too is operating, evolving and growing so you can have the alignment properly with the light body; and transfer from the subconscious, the mental, the emotional and the physical frequency bodies of the personality self into the light form or higher Self frequency; so the light bodies of the
Then the planet itself must expect, and be a receptacle and receiving center for, the higher energies and frequency developments of masters and Hierarchal Board decrees and manifestations so the entire planet can align itself properly with all the other planets in the solar system in order that the solar system itself evolve. The entire solar system will evolve into a new area within the universe and galaxy in which it participates also.
