TRANSCRIPT
[Messenger reads Psalm. 24:]
The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place?
He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob….
Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord [Sanat Kumara], mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts [I AM THAT I AM Sanat Kumara], he is the King of glory.
*Praise the Lord I AM THAT I AM Sanat Kumara! [*Messenger and audience repeat 3x]
[Messenger reads from Pearls of Wisdom by Paul the Venetian dated January 9, 1966, vol. 9, no. 2.]
Gracious ones who respond to the heartbeat of God in majestic nature, pause to reflect for a moment, for the hungers of men’s hearts are never truly satisfied, except by their own inward stance of spiritual beauty and its appreciation. Mounting world distress creates a sense of the desolate in men, especially in the more sensitive; and so, as though they were upon hot desert sands, athirst and without water, they long for an oasis of peace or the journey’s end, where the accouterments of civilization will once again assuage their thirst and bring them that release which they seek.
Now, purity of concept is essential in both material and spiritual victory. For if men were to obtain outward respect or stature by vapid or cruel means, the karmic debt would exceed the recompense attained. In spiritual matters it is impossible for men to acquire by wrong means, for the soul is always set back by the employment of wrong method. It is most difficult, precious ones, for the ascended masters to reach mankind when their own souls are unable to do so!
Have you thought, then, gracious ones, of the hunger of your own soul, made in the image of God, for the beautiful image of the heavenly world and of the Higher Self? Do you know what it means to satisfy the longings of the soul by setting your feet upon a pathway worthy of eternal pursuit? There are so many byways, so many diversions, so much that is confusion in the world that a moment’s thought will reveal to the honest heart of man or woman who will take stock of himself and of his aims and aspirations that vain and repetitive events, even of mortal achievement, cause the human mind to soar to dizzying heights from whence the tired eagle must ultimately drop into the great abyss of unreality and experience the termination of personal aspiration.
Unquestionably, each individual soul would act as self-teacher, if its voice could be heard by the outer consciousness, if the sensitizing and purifying action would occur naturally or be encouraged enough so that it would understand the message of the eternal mysteries imparted by the soul. Now we must face the problem encountered by the ascended hosts in their outreach to mankind via the spoken or printed Word sent forth in your day for your edification and upliftment. Unless you shall treasure our words as God intends, we cannot assist you, anymore than can your own soul, in attaining that development of right action and right reaction which is our intent and God’s as well.
We must direct our concepts to those of many stations, providing nourishment for all, evolving all, assisting all, and attempting to reach all. Yet, the few who find the meat of spiritual sustenance within our words, dearly appreciate them and treasure them, one and all, whereas those who have no sense of the value of our radiation and contact unwittingly pass by a great release of love and light, which is in truth the sheen of the soul, the living treasure of their own being, shining through from the ‘inner lantern.’
Come with me, then, to the garden of your heart, raise the latch of your attention, watch the great golden gate swing inward; see the peaceful, winding pathway, the verdant, protective hedges, the trellised roses of love, the lacy fern of form symmetry, the statuary of masterful achievement, the tinkle of falling water from the fountain of God-purity, the hush of reverence in angel minds, the sense of prescience, and the peace engendered by this retreat from the worldly sense.
In this garden come apart, in this garden find your heart—in this garden is liberty, hear the anthem of the free!
Be brave when all the world’s in fear
I AM God Presence ever near
There is no failure in his plan
Of liberty for every man.
I AM eternal gratitude
For opportunities so good,
The very Presence of the light
Hangs in the air so sweet and bright.
As angel faces peep right through
From sunlight shaft of glory’s hue,
I see the ladder of the Lord,
The law of love now so adored,
Increase the attitude of right
That pens the law of sacred might
And holds me close to God’s embrace,
Exalting the courage of his grace.
I move mid cycles of the years
As Beauty’s hand wipes ‘way all tears
I see the shining realm of light
From whence I came descending bright,
As God’s own hope for victory
Singing the anthem of the free,
“I go to do thy will, in thee,”
A sunbeam ray from higher towers
To utilize thy finest hours
By inspiration’s mighty power.
Every precious day I see
As welcome opportunity
To dwell in garden fair within
Where God does triumph over sin,
And find the way that leads me Home
And keeps me seated on the throne
Of oneness with thy purpose rare,
This is my heart’s great daily prayer—
“Father, I thank thee for beauty,
and more than all
For the beauty that now and always
is within me.”
NOTE: This Scripture Reading is from a service held just prior to a dictation by Beloved Paul The Venetian. The Messenger, Elizabeth Clare Prophets reads Psalm 24, and from a Dictation given on January 9, 1966 by Beloved Paul The Venetian (Pearl of Wisdom, vol. 9, no. 2.). This Scriptural Reading took place on August 27, 1982 at The Heart of the Inner Retreat in Montana.
Who is Paul the Venetian?
Paul the Venetian is chohan of the third ray of divine love. He is hierarch of the Château de Liberté, his retreat on the etheric plane over southern France on the Rhône River.
Paul sponsors the ascended master culture for this age and works with all who desire to bring that culture forth on behalf of mankind. The culture of the ascended masters is the keystone in the pyramid of the golden age; for they have said that it is through culture that mankind will respond to spiritual truths and the teachings of the Great White Brotherhood.
Embodiments
Head of cultural affairs on Atlantis
In the days of Atlantis, Paul served in the government as the head of cultural affairs. Before the continent sank, he established a focus of the liberty flame in Peru, which gave impetus to the culture, beauty and wealth of the Incan civilization.
Artist in the Incan civilization
He embodied in the Incan empire as an artist who used paints that did not fade (a mastery that he brought back in his final embodiment). Thanks to the tremendous momentum that he drew forth, the Inca civilization flourished.
Master of architecture in Egypt
Later, he was embodied in Egypt as a master of esoteric architecture and worked closely with El Morya, then a master mason, at the time of the building of the pyramids.
Paolo Veronese
► Main article: Paolo Veronese
His final embodiment was as Paolo Veronese, one of the major artists of the 16th-century Venetian school. Born Paolo Cagliari in Verona, Italy, in 1528, the artist’s early training gained him renown at a young age as a talented painter. At twenty-five, he was welcomed to Venice as a master of his art. The palatial splendor of this city, its pearls and silks from the East, its elegant tapestries and brocades enriched his work, which rose to the heights of decorative excellence.
Veronese’s ornamentations soon led to dramatic experiments with new colors. In his quest for beauty, he freed himself from the dull browns and grays of his predecessors by modeling in full light, making his already graceful figures iridescent and nearly transparent. He developed glistening pastel hues of azure, coral, pearl, lilac and lemon yellow that startled and fascinated his patrons. He loved deep, bold contrasting colors, and he combined shades never used before—ruby and rich velvety green, pink and emerald, aquamarine and violet.
As if to stress that true beauty endures forever, Veronese searched for and discovered a technique of pigment preparation that is unsurpassed in preserving paint. His magnificent colors still radiate brilliantly today, compared with the fading ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and even Tiepolo’s now-deteriorating frescoes painted two centuries later.
Veronese was a spiritual revolutionary who waged battle against the forces of anti-life in the arts. He saw beauty as the most powerful catalyst for enlightenment, and he endowed the figures of Jesus, the apostles and saints with lifelike expressions. By associating them with easily identifiable places and things, he put them within the reach of the common people. The master transcended the traditionally flat, lifeless and grim aspects of medieval art; his biblical scenes and historical subjects, festivals and pageants were refreshingly executed with joy and sweeping grandeur.
His mission today
Paul the Venetian is a majestic being of some six feet, five inches in height. He is fair of countenance with deep blue eyes and golden, wavy hair. He is usually garbed in raiment of emerald-green velvet. Since he is a native of the planet Venus, where the inhabitants are masters of the Flame and therefore radiate harmony and divine love, Paul’s natural heritage is beauty and grace, diplomacy and tact. His voice is melodious and kind, bringing comfort and peace to all who come in contact with his Presence.
