Law of containment

The action of mercy, in addition to only giving us a portion of our karma in one life, is the containment of these energies, whereby if everything that is at the surface of our awareness, all that we can be aware of in this given moment, is surrendered to God, if we truly surrender our human will, our human ego, and our human pride to the best of our ability every day of our lives, God takes a mantle of his light and places it around the whole electronic belt, allowing us to be in the light, in the Christ consciousness as we walk the earth, still in the action of balancing the electronic belt. This is a great boon. It is the law of containment.
Individuals on the path have varying degrees of that action of containment. Mainly because of ignorance, they do not understand the Law, and therefore, they do not do those specific things that are requirement for the Law. Each time there is rebellion against the Christ, by an assertion of the ego, of pride, of that will that comes from the very gut of our being, that willing to do what we want to do, and to do it now, no matter what someone says, that action deprives us of the law of containment.
This sheath of light that enables you to shine as the sun, even while you are yet imperfect, can only be granted where the containment is complete in conscious control, in the free will of the outer mind. But if we allow the carnal mind to pop up and express, it rends the sheath of containment, the mantle of light. It breaks it, just as you break your tube of light when you are discordant.
So you find on the path souls who are yet imperfect; one can observe their imperfections without even being critical. And yet, we will notice in these souls a very peculiar quality—it is a quality of shining, of light, of devotion, of moving in the harmony of the flame. And they have truly that quality of sainthood, not because they are perfected, but because they have surrendered. All that they know how to surrender has been surrendered.
And that law of containment, of containing the electronic belt is really what makes the difference between a devotee that has this shining, and this glow, and one who does not. When you have that mantle of containment, then you have total freedom to expand God in your chakras. Following the daily ritual of invocation, you give the required decrees and meditations for the balancing of karma, then karma is balanced without having to go through the channels of the four lower bodies, without cycling through the outer mind and the outer awareness.
This is truly to live in a state of grace. It is the state of mercy. It is the law of containment.
