Letter 18 -- Art of Listening                           

Saturday, Nov. 6, 1976–6:15 p.m.

Our Dear Blessing Spirits:

We ask that you now Listen to what has been sent before in the Truths of all ages past, present and in Times to come.

The art of Listening to the songs and cries of the gods is of the soul–for it knows what others know not. One learns to Listen through many life-times as one finds that if he Listens only halfheartedly–so the message gained is at best half the value.

The true Listener hears with the mind and intuition in unison–strive for that goal Our Children; but know this–it takes practice and dedication to desire this position in your spiritual evolvement. For most go through life hearing only with the mind and allowing it to go no further and then proclaim, "I don't understand–it doesn't make sense." While the quiet one has listened and the waters of the Wisdom heard sink deeply to the roots of his being to be absorbed into growth that reaches upward and outward to the Heavens.

'Hear us O Lord as we pray for the ears of the Wise Ones–teach us to Listen with our heart and soul as surely as we yearn for the rays of the sun to warm us to the very depths of our being. Prepare us for that which is to come in the days ahead as He sings forth His Truths into the very air we breathe.'

O Listen Our Children to His notes of beauty and think not that They exist for those whom you deem above you–but They are for all mankind–for all consciousness has ears to hear but know not how. His Truths are as present as, the wind, the rain, and the soft rustle of the trees–and so as you have been given eyes and senses to see and feel the gifts of nature–know also that you have been given the ears to hear His Truths as They are spoken through all times in the written and unwritten Word.

The art of Listening to the written word is not easy as the mind is so cluttered with everyday cares and woes–but We cannot impress upon you enough the high importance of quieting the mind and body to gain what is on the page before you. Listen while you read as you are the hearer of the spoken word upon which your eyes gaze. As you read imagine the words being absorbed by every cell of your body–every cell–and as you become more practiced in this you will actually begin to feel the meaning contained therein through your fingertips–down through your toes–and yet will become alive with its Truth and Wisdom. This is a Truth that has not been revealed to many and We ask that you choose wisely what you read because as you practice this technique you will find that you will be profoundly affected by the material. It is understandably not to be employed when reading light material. By Listening while you read, you are calling forth into action every aspect of your nature to hear, absorb, digest and manifest what it has taken in. You will find words and their meaning taking on a new life and vividness of understanding for you.

Know that We are speaking of the Marriage of Wisdom and Spirit as alluded to in the last Letter. Only the mind will permit this to happen for if you do not consciously allow the art of Listening to wind its way into your life–the experience will not be yours

Let Us now explore other aspects of Listening. What of the moments when you are Listening to someone speak–a someone whom you trust espouses the Truth. Now that you are wiser in the art of Listening–hear them and their words with your total self. Are just your ears present in the chair? Realize this and let it happen–feel the spoken word coming forth and reaching every part of your body. Then visualize it penetrating into the Center and allow it to become One with the Spirit in union to then give birth as It will to the Christ Child within.

'Hear O Little Ones as He sometimes speaks through the Hearts of others the message for the world to hear. But be discerning, We ask, to whom you lend your ears–as there are wolves in sheep's clothing lurking in corners that are sometimes darkened so that the eyes may not see.' Trust us, O Blessing Spirits, and ask who is of the Lord, then Listen as We shall not fail you in answering. For if you have become a Blessing Spirit, a Giver of Divine Joy, your touch with Us has increased a hundredfold and your consciousness has reached into Ours and truly know that We hear and respond to the quests of your Hearts.

Let Us move now into the most Blessed time of all in listening. For that which We are about to speak is directed towards the ability to receive His Truths as They live and move in and through the Universe. It will first have to be approached through visualization, as described–until the process goes beyond and becomes as natural as the circulation in your body. This is a time that is separate from meditation but is not to be used in place of. Sit quietly where you cannot be interrupted and as in meditation–still the mind. 'Know that every Word He has spoken, every thought of His Mind, every Love of His Heart lives on and permeates the totality of existence.

See the top of your head opening to receive these Truths, these Pearls, then visualize Them reaching down and into the Heart as it awaits with open Love–breathe deeply into the lungs Their Wisdom as They are truly the Breath of Life–see the tremendous gift of Life pouring down into your arms, hands, body, legs, and feet until you are filled totally with His Word–His Wisdom–His eternal Truths. Think not in these moments, but experience as the most precious gift is coursing through your veins. Feel It in the center of your Heart, in the palms of your hands, and in the very soles of your feet, and know that you are aglow with the Truth of God.

The Wisdom of Our Lord, O Loved Ones, is everywhere–learn to Listen to It–learn to receive It–reach out your hand at any time of the day or night and feel it–or It is not only of the mind but is for you to experience and know in all ways. And therein truly you will be placing your feet upon the Higher Path that will lead you to Becoming Wisdom Itself as a true Son of God.

Immediately following this Letter, I felt a strong Presence in the chair across from me. My head bowed automatically, and my palms reached forth. I saw, with my Inner Eye, Damodar sitting there–He was dressed brilliantly in white–a white gown or robe with perhaps some lace on it. He had on an equally brilliant white turban, also around His neck was a gold chain, and a jewel at the end of it. I believe it was amethyst–I'm not sure, but I do remember it as being purple or lavender in color. We communicated mentally. I said, “O please teach us your will, and that of the will of my Lord Jesus Christ.” “Damodar, I feel your Love for the Society so strongly–so very strong–Thank you for visiting me this night." He said, "Love the Society as I do and work for it as I have.”
