Saint Paul of Tarsus
Ascended Master Hilarion

 
 
Apostle Paul
approx 67 A.D.

"This mortal must put on immortality,
this corruptible must put on incorruption."—I Cor. 15:50-57

"[B]e strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor
of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,
against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."—Paul of Tarsus

"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows,
that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption,
but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.
And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap
if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all,
especially to those who are of the household of faith."—Paul of Tarsus

"Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing
into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.
But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare,
and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men
in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root
of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith
in their greediness, and pierced themselves through
with many sorrows."—Paul of Tarsus

"For even when we were with you, we commanded you this:
If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat."—Paul of Tarsus

"If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above,
where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above,
not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden
with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also
will appear with Him in glory."—The Apostle Paul to the Colossians

 
"Now, my beloved, in a great love of my heart for Paul, I surely give to you the tenderness, the closeness, the intimacy of our walk together. If you will study the existing records of Paul diligently, you will come to understand just how personal is the interaction. Paul’s sense of me was the sense of a friend almost physical who walked at his side.

"He was ready to live or to die for me because I was so real to him—more real even than anything in this world. Yet I did not desire he should die, but live—and live to be the heart’s instrument of my own flame to those who would receive me, no matter what their background or karma.

"Thus, my beloved, I have a continuing mission to do this. And those who are called the Gentiles, supposedly those who have not a threefold flame or very little soul substance, are the ones to whom the light must be passed even in this age. Thus we are in search of the remnant —the true white fire core of the seed of Sanat Kumara, the seed of Abraham who have never sacrificed their light or threefold flame to material pursuits, to greed or its Moloch or to any of the other gods of the Canaanites.

"We are in search of the remnant of the Christed ones, those ancient souls sponsored by Enoch, sponsored by Adam, sponsored by Seth and, ultimately, Noah. We are in search of these who must make their ascension at the conclusion of the coming dispensation, and we are in search of those new evolutions, the new light-bearers as well as those Gentiles who qualify as the bearers of the seed of Christ—new vessels.

" . . . Learn well of me, therefore. For I, the ascended master Jesus Christ, did exercise my authority and my right to contact the unascended Saul—true, a Pharisee and a Roman and a Jew, a persecutor of me and of Christians, who stood by even at the death of Stephen by stoning.

"Therefore, realize that the acts of the individual are not the final conclusion as to the quality of the soul. For there were other Pharisees and Sadducees in those days who outwardly kept perfectly the Law but inwardly were ravening wolves and had not the quality of heart to be initiated.

"Understand, therefore, that no matter what the accusation of physical acts that are charged against the Messengers, we have chosen because we have chosen, and the quality of heart is the foundation of the instrument.

"Therefore, see to it also, in thy preparation for our calling, that you bring therefore a live coal, a lively coal of fire and fervor for the Truth as you understand it. For this was the quality of heart of Saul of Tarsus—believing what he had been taught, even a false teaching regarding Jesus Christ, my own name and my life and mission.

"Therefore, he persecuted my followers and, in them, persecuted my Presence. For I was in them, and my light was an offense to those who therefore enlisted Saul in their ways of exterminating, imprisoning, persecuting, and torturing Christians.

"Blessed hearts, realize, then, that the fervent heart when hitched to the wrong star may be unhitched and redirected and therefore scale the heights of mastery, leaving behind those who seek to perfect themselves by the Law without the Spirit, who engage in rituals without love, and who are mechanistic in their judgments, very eager to point the gnarled and bony finger against any light-bearer for a single sin which they do think does soil the garment.

"Well, sin may or may not soil the garment. But the Holy Spirit is able. And that Holy Spirit in me did raise up Saul, and therefore he received upon himself that substance of his karma which created the state of blindness. And my instrument again, Ananias, therefore did pronounce that he should see by that Holy Spirit—and he did see.

"And Saul therefore became Paul and went forth as a chief apostle, one that I would send to the Gentiles. And yet he, being a Jew, determined to preach to the Jews, not realizing how infamous and how wicked was the core of their hatred and their rage against the living Christ. Thus, I came. Though he did not take my advice, so he loved me and I comforted him and gave to him protection, even through the Romans.

"And you see, therefore, that God is no respecter of persons, and we of the ascended hosts may raise up friends of light where you know not. And I tell you, in these very months, total strangers of this Church and of this organization and of these Messengers have come forward to stand for them in such nobility and honor and truth and defense as to make almost the angels weep; whereby contrast those who, having been with them so long time, should pick apart the hairs and determine that they are not worthy any longer to bear the flame of the World Teachers."

Jesus Christ

"You may become as the apostle Paul if you so will it. Take this day the chapter [in Lords of the Seven Rays] on the Chohan Hilarion and his incarnations. Read it. Read it, beloved, in moments of waiting or tarrying. Understand the journeying of a soul, Saul of Tarsus—polarized hot against the Christians, polarized then by conversion to a path of apostleship in my service. Understand that the power of conversion of the Holy Spirit through the Maha Chohan and through the Seven Chohans is available to you.

"Do you say to me, 'My Lord, I am already converted?' Yea, ye are converted, but not all—even as I said to Peter, 'Ye are clean, but not all.' I seek the conversion of every cell and atom, every identity of every prior incarnation. I seek the conversion of the totality of self, and swiftly of the most recalcitrant portion of the self. That which is not polarized left or right, plus or minus, has not the material for conversion. Blessed ones, some upon this planet sneak and hide from God, for they think they will not be subject to tethering to any law if they are neither hot nor cold."

Jesus Christ


" . . . I bid you watch the film Peter and Paul, which recounts the journeys and the martyrdom of these apostles. May you be enfired to move with the Holy Spirit as they did so that in your day
you may bring the teachings of the Ascended Masters not only to Christians but also to those
of every religious persuasion. Therefore, I say, right the axis of the mission to bring to the world
the true teachings of Jesus Christ, most importantly, the twin pillars of reincarnation and karma.

"I am your friend. You are my friend. And I tell you candidly, beloved chelas around the world who are tuned in, I need you. The Darjeeling Council needs you. Now let us be up and doing. And let us become missionaries of the Everlasting Gospel while there is time. Moreover, let us not be counted among

the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, [who] hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

"Make your move now, beloved. For you may never have another chance to fulfill your God-appointed round.

"I AM Morya. The love of my heart for you is intense, enfiring, and as great as great are the sun and the stars themselves."

El Morya


"Paul prayed that the saints might walk worthy of the I AM Presence unto all pleasing of his Word, being fruitful, that is, multiplying his Presence, through every good work and increasing in the knowledge of the God Presence. He prayed for their strengthening with all might. It was the Mighty I AM Presence that empowered Paul. He knew it, he saw it, he became it. He saw this glorious power present as the power of the Father. It was his blazing light in the face of a Man Christ Jesus who went before him, city by city, preaching the power of God’s kingdom come suddenly within his temple."


Sanat Kumara


" . . . The Ruby Ray is the path for devotees who would walk the earth as Christ Jesus, who would love one another as he has loved them, who would appropriate that mind which was in him, who would be perfect as he was perfect. Abounding in good works, these know the grace of the Lord.

"Paul is the great Christian example of the chela anointed by the Ascended Master Jesus into his path of Christhood. He anointed him his messenger on the fifth ray of science, truth, and healing. He sent him with his message of the mystery of salvation to ‘Jew’ and ‘Gentile’. And Paul preached the mystery of the indwelling Christ as 'Christ in you, the hope of glory.' Those who cannot, who will not, understand this mystery will remain babes in Christ, if that. They cannot follow in his footsteps to become bodhisattvas, World Saviours, quickening spirits.

" . . . Consider, then, blessed sons and daughters, these words of Paul enlightened by the Spirit:

“Christ in you, the hope of glory” is this Christ Self, the pure Son of your own regenerate divinity.

"This is the One by whom we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all his wisdom that we may present every man in his own Christ Self, perfect, for the incoming to his temple of Christ Jesus.

"Your beloved Christ Self as the Mediator of your I AM Presence is your hope that the glory of Christ Jesus might come unto you by works, the sacred labor of heart, head, and hand (good karma), and by grace (the transfer of light/energy/consciousness by the initiation of the Guru). Paul confirmed his participation in the reconciliation saying, 'Whereunto—unto which perfection, i.e., the perfection of my Christ Self—I also labour, striving according to his working which he worketh in me mightily.'

"Paul, the initiated Son, made by Jesus Christ a joint-heir with him, yet labored striving for the perfection of the Christ even as that Christ Self performed his mighty works through him. As this Son of man was one in his own Christ Self, so he was one in Christ Jesus. The measure of the perfection of his Christ Self which he outpictured day by day in his soul was the same measure by which he received the portion of the divinity of Christ Jesus. He knew that the ‘reconciliation’ process of Jew and Gentile is the 'thorough change,' or utter transmutation, by the Lord’s Spirit of the sinner into the saint, the natural man into the spiritual. He taught that this reconciliation of the soul with the Spirit of the I AM Presence occurs through Christ crucified on the cross of Alpha and Omega.

" . . . Paul’s great revelation was of the mystery of the body of God as the true inner Church—the Church Universal and Triumphant. Stone upon stone, he beheld the Temple Beautiful built from the lively stones—devotees become the living Word by the demonstration of the way of personal Christhood.

"Paul experienced directly the communion of the saints in heaven and the saints in earth. He knew the saints in heaven as 'the saints in light.' Thus he accurately described the ascended masters who appeared to him in their glorified bodies. And he knew the saints in earth unascended, both in and out of the body:

"I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) how that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

"Paul gave thanks to the Father, Almighty God individualized in his own beloved I AM Presence, who made us the saints in ‘darkness’, bearers of the Karma in earth, meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in ‘light’, in heaven. This inheritance of the ascended masters is partaken of by their chelas (the unascended disciples of Christ) as the communion of the Lord’s body."

Sanat Kumara


"And therefore, our illumination comes from an explanation of the terms, an explanation of the acts and the words of Christ and of his apostles, especially of Paul, who was taught by the ascended master Jesus Christ alone.

"He never met Jesus. Jesus stopped him on the road. The ascended master Jesus Christ appeared to him when he was called Saul. And in that encounter he was blinded for a considerable period of time, showing the effect of the Light to crystallize our karma and temporarily give us a burden that we must work through.

"It’s the price we pay for being apostles of Christ. He comes to us and the Light brings out the darkness; and then when we see that darkness, we must choose to serve it or put it into the sacred fire.

"He must try us and test us. So he tested Saul. And Saul bore that karma of his persecution of the Christians and became a mighty servant of God, taught by Jesus—taught by Jesus.

"And therefore, the great message of this Easter through this prayer and through the experience of Paul is that each and every one of you can be God-taught by the ascended master Jesus Christ. And, of course, he is here through these three months to teach us, and this conference is just the beginning, the opening of the door, the glimpse through the keyhole of what the Master brings to us in the understanding of his original and pure teaching."

Elizabeth C. Prophet


"Blessed hearts, time flies. As Morya is wont to say, tempus fugit. Yes, beloved, in that understanding know that you shall not forever be finite beings, you shall not forever be in this octave. But I say, leave those footprints. Leave them in the sands of earth and in the etheric octave. Leave them in your writings and in your speakings. Leave them as the apostle Paul did. Leave them because you are become a mighty apostle of mine and of Jesus and of Kuthumi and of all the hosts of the Lord.

"Yes, beloved, take the high road, take the tough road. Toughen yourselves! Do your daily exercises. Do not let your bodies or your minds become flabby. Watch what you take in through the mouth and watch what comes out of the mouth. For by the power of the spoken Word, as you use it correctly and purely and do not violate it in any way, you will increase your stature as a Son of God, one with your own Holy Christ Self. And do this quickly, for cycles are accelerating.

"And so, as it has been said, now is the time to move with the tide of Light that beckons. For I tell you, as you take advantage of the solicitous presence of the Great White Brotherhood, you will be able to move mountains. This is the moment, I tell you, beloved. It is the moment when the first shot was fired, yes, for the independence of the colonies. Yes, it is one of those moments in liberty that you have celebrated, that you have extolled, that you have understood from the depths of your being.

"Count yourselves, then, as those who were there, who have championed the cause of liberty throughout the ages. You have known it all. You have been thrown to the lions. You have been burned at the stake. All these things you have known.

"Therefore, what is it that you fear? How can you be afraid of anything when you have seen everything?"

Saint Germain
July 4, 1994


The Apostle Paul wrote: "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." (2 Timothy 4:7).

"Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye
may obtain." (1 Corinthians 9:24).


"Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things."Paul of Tarsus


"Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things."—Paul of Tarsus


"I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death."—Thomas Paine
