I AM Serapis Bey, having come again to you for our talk today. You may not be ready now for the serious talk that follows, but I insist that you should concentrate and make all possible efforts to hear me.

I have overcome quite a lot to be heard. So you can make some effort as well.

Currently, the Masters keep coming to you through this Messenger, and you may suppose that it will be this way forever. We are coming to collect the souls that are ours and have lost their way. We are extending a rope of opportunity for them through this Messenger. We are ready to do a great deal for them so that they will find their Path. And do you know why? Because many of us Ascended Masters are karmically bound to these souls. As far back as the times when we were in incarnation, we had an opportunity to cooperate with you. We had common goals and we were rowing in the same boat to revive the fundamentals of moral attitudes in the society.

Now you are over there on the physical plane. You can rely on our help, but the majority of the workload lies upon your shoulders.

Culture, or rather the absence of culture that has swept through your society, is in dire need of immediate transformation and change. We are expecting you to take concrete steps to restore the principles that we were upholding at all times. Buddha came, Moses came, Muhammad came, and Jesus came. All of them were speaking about certain principles that a healthy society must be based upon.

Your society is ill. And we are coming to prescribe a medicine for your illness. Your illness is caused by your misunderstanding of freedom as permissiveness.

Your freedom is limited by the framework of the Divine Law ruling in this Universe. If you are intent on violating and trampling this Law henceforth, there is nothing for you to do in the future world because it is time for planet Earth as a whole to advance to a new turn of development.

As usual, before a leap occurs in the development of mankind, an opportunity is provided for everyone to make individual choices of their own. When everyone is let loose to make their own choices, this becomes a source for a bacchanalia, permissiveness, an absence of moral values and attitudes to root from. When the scope of permissiveness becomes unreasonably expanded, the true choice you follow opens up before your souls.

Making a Divine choice doesn’t require shouting about it. You make your choice in your hearts, and you make it literally every minute of your stay on Earth.

You easily slip into the lowest behavioral patterns through television, the Internet, or just in the street. Each of you is obliged to make a choice either in favor of the surrounding illusion or in favor of the Divine world.

The complexity of this choice is caused by the fact that the patterns of the Divine world are not as easily accessible as the opposite ones. That is why it says that broad is the way that leads to destruction, and the narrow is the way that leads to the Heavenly summits of the Divine world.^[1]

It has always been like this when the world was facing the next serious choice. And the situation that has presently emerged was described in the Gospel just as it was described by many messengers and prophets of the past.

The time has come. Why didn’t you get anxious? Why didn’t you raise the alarm?

The time has come for you to act because the harvest that Death reaps and the harvest that Life reaps depend on each of you.

Do you realize that the time is changing? The very flow of time is changing. That is why they say that time is short, and you should manage to have enough time for everything.

Don’t waste the hours of this Divine opportunity that you have been given. Don’t pretend everything we say doesn’t have anything to do with you. Everything we say concerns everyone being incarnated now.

The new consciousness should sprout among the thistle that the planet is covered with. The sprouts that overcome all existing obstacles and rise toward the Sun, the Sun of the Divine Consciousness, should be stronger.

I am giving you an image of what you really come across in your lives. This image of aspiration for the Sun of the Divine Consciousness should be constantly kept in your mind's eye. Realize that all of the circumstances in your life are configured to enable you to untangle quite a number of karmic knots. At times you transmute a thousand years of karma in a single incarnation. That is how time has accelerated. Therefore, it is not worth wasting your time. Start by developing new principles in your relationships with other people around you. Demonstrate firmness and courage, and refuse the temptations that you are seduced with in the deserts of your cities and towns.

There is a true spiritual desert in your cities. That is why we never get tired of repeating the need for restoring moral values and for restoring your connection with nature.

The only thing that can save the existing civilization from destruction is for as many individuals as possible to ascend to a new level of consciousness.

Ten righteous men are capable of saving a city. A thousand righteous men are capable of saving the world.

I have come to orientate your aspirations toward this goal. Do not yield to sophisticated trinkets and do not enter marquees where your most priceless treasure — your soul — is seized from you during the accompaniment of the feast.
