The Spirit of Selflessness/fr

L'esprit de l'altruisme est un être cosmique issu du Grand soleil central. L'amour désintéressé, spirituel et divin est presque inconnu sur notre planète. La plupart des hommes font preuve d'égoïsme et d'amour-propre. Le grand Esprit du désintéressement explique que moins on est conscient de soi, plus on retient Dieu. Dans cet Esprit se trouve le pouvoir dévorant de l'action qui transformera l'égoïsme en Dieu, tout en conservant l'individualisation d'une flamme divine.

Saint François, par Cimabue (basilique inférieure, Assise)

La vie de Saint François a démontré l'esprit de désintéressement. Dans sa prière "Seigneur, fais de moi un instrument de ta paix", Saint François souhaitait transmettre les aspects réconfortants de l'Esprit Saint, en réalisant que c'était son Moi divin et non son Moi inférieur qui était la source de cette paix. Il savait qu'en laissant la paix de Dieu couler à travers lui comme le vent dans les arbres, il deviendrait un avec l'Esprit, et donc un avec toute vie qui en découle. Parce que sa prière à l'Esprit Saint était totalement désintéressée, elle a laissé une empreinte indélébile dans la conscience de l'humanité et de la vie élémentaire.

The Spirit of Selflessness says:

I am the fullness of the All-One. For only in the spirit of selflessness can you be aware of the allness of Being. For the awareness of a self apart from God is a shadow that prevails to separate, to prevent the fullness of consciousness from coalescing a cosmos about the flame of identity....

The woes and the disturbances and the upheavals [that we see in the world] are these planetary adjustments that mankind would not have if they would only understand the spirit of selflessness. It is not a false humility; it is not a false pride. It is an awareness of the circumference of God and of the dot inside—the point of contact that is the Self of God with which you totally identify. And therefore you are not deprived of the identity when you embrace this spirit, but you have the return of the allness of Being.

Archangel Michael spoke of his own sacrifice, total surrender and unending service and asked us to also become the spirit of selflessness, telling us that when we are,

... you will discover the key to the courage, the honor and the bravery of my legions. For in selflessness, there is no self that can live or die, for that self merely is, always has been, and ever shall be. Selflessness—without the human self and fully endued with the Divine Self, beloved, you are never a target in this octave.

Thus, if you stick out a little itty-bitty toe outside the circle of your service, blessed ones, be prepared. For that little toe of self-awareness in the human, finite condition will render you vulnerable. Stand on and in the circle of infinity, beloved, and know that it is an armour beneath you. And one day it shall be a dais from which there shall spring spontaneously, in the presence of Serapis Bey, truly, the ascension flame.

The Maha Chohan has spoken of this great being:

You received the dictation of the Spirit of Selflessness in the heart of the Great Central Sun in this very city. That individualization of the God flame is such a consecration of Alpha and Omega that that individuality was veiled from your eyes and from your awareness, for you yourself would be astounded to know how much power and how much wisdom and how much love can be contained in the life of the individual who has become the selfless one. But as you pursue this path you will come more and more in contact with that one who lives in the Sun behind the sun of your own being, a great cosmic consciousness.
