I AM Saint-Germain!

Not so much time has passed since our last meeting. And what do you think I have been doing all this time? I carefully watched who among you will dare to come and take the Divine opportunity from the golden tray on which it is lying.

I remind you that we have been speaking about the construction of the Golden Age.^[1] Courageous and purposeful people were needed who would be able to take responsibility for fulfilling the Masters’ plans.

I cannot suppress a laugh remembering what I had a chance to observe. It is true that the Russian mentality and the Russian way of thinking are very different from the Americans. What did the Russians start doing? They rushed here and there to build communities, build houses and entire settlements.

Nobody would do this in the West. You did not even think about how that would work. You have not made a plan.

How do you think you will work under the guidance of the Ascended Masters and fulfill their plans if you do not even care to refer attentively to the main condition that is situated between the Divine opportunity and you — that is, to pass the necessary tests, to be sure that you act for the Masters and serve the Masters but do not satisfy some whims and interests of your ego?

Nobody seriously thought over the problem about how they would be able to fulfill the Masters’ plans without the Masters’ guidance.

Trust me and my experience: Nothing will work until you enter into your inner harmony with the Divine world. The Golden Age should not be constructed outside of you. The Golden Age should be built, first of all, inside of you, inside of your being. In order to do this it is necessary to change your consciousness. It is necessary to change your inner essence. And what is outside, outside of you, will obediently repeat what is inside you.

Many times we gave the Teaching that this world is just a reflection of your consciousness. And every time you start doing something, you forget that simple truth.

Indeed, we need knights of spirit, devotees who are ready to dedicate their whole lives to serving humankind of Earth and the Great White Brotherhood. What gave you the idea that we have to build a certain number of houses and settlements?

Do not think about external things. Think about the qualities of your soul. External things will take place on their own if gold nuggets sparkle inside of you, tincturing your aura with the golden color of insight.

We come to give our Teaching and attentively watch how you use it in practice. And sometimes it seems that it would be better if you did nothing rather than doing it the way you do. There should be a golden mean between the work on oneself and the outer work. And in any case, the priority should be given to the inner work. Isn’t the experience of the socialist past enough for you? You decided that now it is necessary to build something again as it was at that time: to turn the rivers back, fill the reserves of the state, and build the industrial giants.

Do not disrespect the great idea! Stop and think. First, you have to sit at the desk and learn the foundations of the Divine Law. You have to enter the abodes of the Ascended Masters and go through all the necessary training. Then you have to part with ignorance and unfounded confidence.

It is not you who will construct the Golden Age. The Masters will construct the Golden Age. And you will just serve as the Masters’ hands and feet. And the result of your construction will be manifested in the acquisition of virtues such as humility, obedience, and purposefulness.

Do you enjoy being pioneers? Excellent! Prove that inside you are ready for this role. Shake off the decrepit selfishness. Acquire the consonance with the Masters. Yes, at least try to come to an agreement with our Messenger. It is interesting that many of our unsuccessful disciples rushed to build communities. You do not need to build, but to return to the first class and again sit at the desk because you did not learn the foundations of the Community. Your definition of community is not good at all. I give you a D-minus mark for your work!

Many builders of the socialist times are much ahead of you in their consciousness because they truly worked for the Common Good and were fully devoted to the idea. And you are devoted to your ego and to the satisfaction of its interests.

As you can see, at all times there were people who had spiritual achievements, even at the time that was associated with godlessness.

God used any conditions, any social system, and any circumstances so you could develop. So your souls could develop. And knightly qualities are quite available to you to develop nowadays. Where are the true knights who are ready to sacrifice their lives for their ladies? And do not tell me that the times have changed. The spirit of chivalry, the ability to sacrifice yourself for the sake of your homeland, has never disappeared. Courage, bravery, boldness, fearlessness, devotion, honor, and dignity — why have you forgotten these qualities of the spirit?

It is necessary to thoroughly search for these qualities in your souls because you will need them in the near future.

The jousting tournaments may be replaced by knowledge contests of the great initiates. Not the initiates who call themselves so and hold seminars for money, but of those initiates whose names are left in the annals of history: Pythagoras, Origen, Confucius, Socrates, Lao Tzu, Blavatsky, and others.

Without mastering the sword of knowledge, without saddling the horse of your ego, you cannot become the knight of the Word for all times.

Do not be afraid of failures, and do not be afraid that you will go wrong. Follow our instructions. All the landmarks on the Path have already been placed, all the turns have been marked, and even the dangerous parts of the Path have been identified.

Only the totally incompetent and lazy people will not be able to manage the forthcoming tasks.

Knights of the Spirit! You should engage in worthy deeds and not lie on the sofa and watch TV. Rise up and take several steps forward in the direction to where we point.
