June 1956 THE BRIDGE Note: As most students are aware Kuthumi and Jesus have now moved into the Office of World Teachers) Presently Kuthumi and Jesus, acting together as the Cosmic Christ, also retain their offices as Chohans of the rays. Do you know why? BECAUSE NO ONE WAS READY! There was no one to take the places of Kuthumi and Jesus as Chohans of their respective rays at the moment. ARE YOU READY TO RENDER THE SERVICE WHICH WILL BE REQUIRED IN THE DAYS TO COME? Suppose tomorrow you were called upon to take over this sanctuary, to take over its expense, its responsibilities and its frictions, as well as the endeavor to combine the many selves into one. Suppose one day, when you were alone in the heart of a business district or a shopping center, you were called upon to give instantaneous protection to many people. Suppose the streets began to crack open and the buildings began to shake. Suppose all your great rivers were suddenly above their normal water line—would you be the calm, poised, majestic presence of your own God Presence, in full command and control of the situation? Measure yourselves, children, oh—not with such a tension that you become impossible to use at all—but with wisdom! BUDDHA DID NOT EXPECT TO BE CALLED FOR SEVENTEEN YEARS. He was ready. Lord Maitreya did not expect to be called either but he was ready: Kuthumi and Holy Jesus were ready! Others, thinking they had seventeen years yet to prepare for Chohanship were not ready. You will recall that the wise virgins had their lamps and they were ready with lamp lighted when the bridegroom came. FIVE YEARS BEFORE THE CONTINENT OF ATLANTIS SANK BENEATH THE WAVES OF WHAT IS NOW THE ATLANTIC OCEAN, WE ALERTED THE PEOPLE WHO LIVED THERE AS TO COMING CATACLYSMIC EVENTS. Ascended Beings and Cosmic Messengers from many realms came and spoke through the priesthood and the oracles. At first, the people listened to their words and the idea was entertaining for a while. It was something new and different and it was exciting. Then, as nothing spectacular happened immediately or soon thereafter, the people went back to their pursuits of so-called happiness. WHEN EARTH CHANGES AND CATACLYSMS CAME AS PREDICTED, THE GREAT RUMBLINGS OF THE EARTH AND THE SINKING OF THE CONTINENTS, WHO WAS READY? ONLY A HANDFUL, willing to take those magnificent flames north, east, south and west. The rest of the population went down! Get ready! We are investing tremendous energies in you, beloved ones, energies which are our life, which are Cosmic and we are investing them in you for a purpose. Bridge, Bk 3, page 53
