SAINT GERMAIN ON FREEDOM
XII
The Summoning of Forces

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I am come in the Spirit of Freedom, unannounced and yet, to the faithful who are always one, there is a light connecting our hearts whereby you feel and you know the presence of freedom and you know the light of the Knight Commander.

Therefore let the little children come. Let those who gather as the faithful be apprised that I am yet abroad in the land as Saint Germain. I stand with you and I am in the hour of your tribulation a certain truth, a certain comfort, a certain flame that cannot be denied. I stand in America today for the turning of the cycles of life, for the holding of the balance of the Dark Cycle <1> in the name of my own twin flame—Opportunity, Justice.

Here is the fulfillment of the law. Here is the light of hope, that in the very midst of the Dark Cycle the flame of Mother and the flame of the children who bear that flame as the floral offering come together to give the light, to receive the light, and to know that that violet-flame action of Holy Amethyst will yet stay the hand of the oppressor if you have the courage to keep the watch in the darkest hour of the night.

My own, my beloved, will you not rise in honor then [audience rises] of the coming of the Lord’s hosts and the dispensations of the Lords of Karma and the great Cosmic Council and Lord Sanat Kumara, who look upon earth this day and, in the beginning of the woes of this Dark Cycle, have sustained their dispensations of light and who are well pleased that the lightbearers who have crystallized the Christ consciousness are not moved in the center of the will of God.

There are hours when that will is a crown of rejoicing and the laughter of victory, and there are hours when that will must be the direct confrontation with ancient spirals of karma and wrongdoing which God must bring to the fore of consciousness that you might overcome and return to that fullness of joy for which you long.

It is necessary to take care of these details of life, and you see that the sign of Virgo and the sign of Portia is the sign of the detail of the mercy and the justice of the law. Therefore let it be that everyone who would follow in the flame of the Mother must understand that the fastidiousness to the discipline and the detail of the law in organization, in one’s self, in future planning, in fund-raising—all of this is the mastery of the line of Virgo and the mastery of the Dark Cycle. And therefore you must be fastidious in your use of time—the moments, the minutes, and the hours applied then to the mastery of every facet of the law that you will have the prize and the Great Pyramid and the foundation of life manifest in your headquarters in Los Angeles County.

I AM come to place my shield and sword and my flame in Los Angeles for Saint Germain and in the Ashram of the World Mother, where I bid you welcome to come and to offer your decrees and invocations in that room set aside to the Lord Christ and to El Morya. For there from the heart of the city we will anchor light, we will send forth light, and we will set forth the design of our plan that comes forth from the Great Divine Director and from his great causal body of light. Thank you, most gracious ones. Won’t you be seated. [Audience sits down.]

We come, then, as the alchemists of the hour. We work individually with those who have seen the light and the vision and who know that this precious teaching of the ascended masters is the salvation of souls of light on earth. You who have responded to the winds of Aquarius, to the dispensation of our twin flames, understand what foundation it is that we would lay. It is indeed the stone which the builders rejected which has become the chief cornerstone.

It is the teaching, the law, the rock, the Christ, and it is that Christ consciousness which is now become the instrument individually through the individual Christ Self of each one’s own salvation and self-elevation to the plane of the I AM THAT I AM.

This is the meaning of the alchemy and the freedom of Aquarius—that one son of God is now identified as every son of God. And every son of God can prove the law where he stands, can hold his head high and be with the ascended masters the instrument for the deliverance of the earth, and can come to be known the deliverer of earth’s evolutions.

You ought to know yourself by the term deliverer, for then you understand that you deliver the Word and the teaching and the alchemy and the sacred fire by your heart chakra even as your hand will take the hand of souls who are moving in the way of righteousness and lead them to the consciousness through the head of that true understanding of the law which is the only liberation from doctrine and dogma.

For souls of light may have the awareness of the teaching of Jesus, but without the consciousness and the fullness of the mind of Christ and the fullness of teaching, the points of the law that are necessary are not conveyed. And again and again even the sincere are fooled by their own ignorance of the law.

We come, then, seeing the need for the dissemination of teachings, how the need is great, and how there must be a pulling together as with the heaving of the mighty oars for the moving of the ship, how this body must pull together in the travail of giving birth to the Christ consciousness in America and the world.

Of course there ought to be time for individual recreation, for the re-creation of soul and mind and body in the light of the flame. But overindulgence cannot be considered or tolerated in the midst of the battle or the hour of the victory. For in that very hour there is the demand for the summoning of greater strength and greater resources.

And I tell you that every victory that has ever been won has required this summoning of forces, whether it be Christ on the cross or George Washington on the Delaware or any others who have won the victory for mankind, I tell you that in that hour there is no time for dalliance or sloth or indulgence. It is the moment of the summoning of an extraordinary will. And when the individual son and daughter of God has summoned that will, then that will and that summoning becomes a magnet invoking all of the forces of the Great Central Sun and the hosts of the Lord.

If there is not that extreme circumstance that demands the summoning of the forces, then there is not the alchemy whereby there is brought out in the individual those resources, those energies that have been held in nuggets of gold in the white-fire core of being for thousands of years until the hour when there would be required that coming forth of the most precious energies of a lifestream—the great genius, the staying power, the moving force.

This, then, is the hour for the sustainment of that energy and that consciousness. This is the hour to look and see how this word of God can be disseminated for the great contact of the age. I tell you it is contact, and this is the battle that we face. For all of the hordes of darkness and the fallen ones have arrayed themselves against the hosts of light and the chelas in embodiment and the children of God to prevent the necessary contact.

By the grace of God, then, this organization, built life upon life, is the organ and the instrument for the contact, and without the organization you would be as those crying in the wilderness. Those who are crying in the wilderness are very effective when they are John the Baptist, but I tell you even they can only contact a certain number of souls, a certain few hundred or a certain few thousand.

But in this age there is the requirement for the contact of millions of souls, and therefore with one voice and one shout, one movement and one momentum, this people of God must rally for the contact through the channels which are open to you in the media and in the sources of distribution in this century.

Understand, then, that the age of science and the age of alchemy in the seventh ray is the intensification, the geometrization of the coming of the Lord Christ. And so we have placed at your disposal before the Lords of Karma all types of inventions and uses and usefulness that can be made available for the dissemination of the Word.

By grace and by God you have the resourcefulness and certain resources at your command to implement the divine plan from the heart of the Great Divine Director. Let now then the novena go forth to the heart of that great one and to myself and to all who stand ready to open the door—the door that is kept sealed by the God of Gold and the Council of the Royal Teton, the door to that cosmic abundance that is truly vouchsafed to those souls who have made themselves worthy and fit to carry the light and the abundance of the Mother in this octave.

Because the opposition is to the contact in every form, you must understand that it is also leveled against your own contact with your own God Presence I AM. It is leveled against the open door betwixt the light and the soul evolving toward the light. Therefore in order to release the necessary supply, you will have to sustain a momentum of invocations and calls to clear the way—the great highway of light—for that energy to be released to you that has been decreed by the Cosmic Council that ought to come to you and be released to you from the Great Central Sun.

I make known to you, then, this dispensation and this announcement this day, that the Cosmic Council has decreed the necessary funds to implement the plan of the Great Divine Director for the dissemination of the teachings of the ascended masters through this organization. [Audience applauds.]

Perhaps some of you have not considered that a dispensation was necessary. I want you to understand that this has been very close to the heart of the Mother of the Flame for many years as she has come to the Darjeeling Council and to the Council of the Royal Teton with Lanello imploring the Lords of Karma to release the necessary funds and working diligently in outer manifestation to increase the supply and the distribution of the publications, under great strain and duress, in order to open the way for this supply.

We have explained in years past that a necessary nucleus of lightbearers within the headquarters and within the teaching centers throughout America and the earth had to be established. Much testing and initiation has been sent forth. Angels of Lord Maitreya have greeted many souls in the way of overcoming, and you have seen the great travail of the entire membership to give birth to the Christ consciousness even as you have seen some who have gone their way because of this confrontation with the angels of the Lord who have come to initiate the souls on the Path.

And therefore with the sign of the Dark Cycle and the turning of that cycle April 23 this year, there has come that moment when the line has been drawn. And the line drawn then has been for those who have sustained the will and the determination to be in the flame of God and for those who have not. And therefore at the hour of midnight, the first hour of the day of April 23 Greenwich time, there was made an assessment by the Keeper of the Scrolls and by the Lords of Karma determining, lifestream by lifestream across the face of the earth, who were still standing despite the energies of opposition and who had already removed themselves from the support of the ascended masters even after they had received dispensations and promises and had given themselves to that cause.

In the final tallying, then, of souls of light who could be counted upon, who are still standing, then, with mighty Victory and Lanello, with Mother Mary and Jesus and the hosts of the Lord, it was considered by the Lords of Karma that sufficient souls of light had passed their tests to hold the chalice and the cup of light for this dispensation. Now it is a question, then, of your invocation—your invocation of light to draw forth this supply that is released from the heart of the God of Gold, that is held in trust, then, in the white-fire core in the chambers of the Royal Teton Retreat.

This supply must be called forth and diligence must be sustained. You must set yourselves, then, in the temperament of battle, in the consciousness of Armageddon, twenty-four hours a day until the victory of the establishment of that perfect place in the heart of the City Foursquare which I have prepared from the very foundation of these United States of America.

Did you have any question concerning this fact? Did you think that Saint Germain would not provide the comfort and the place for the coming of the Mother and the Child? Wherefore didst thou doubt? Did you not think that for the inauguration of the seventh age and the Aquarian age that the alchemist and the sponsor of America would not have had the foresight to provide the place for your coming?

Now I say, there are those who have pitted themselves against that light and against that place, and therefore you must give to Archangel Michael and the hosts of the Lord the energies necessary to secure that place. And you must give to the hosts of light the energies that will form the arc of contact to the Royal Teton Retreat and to Helios and Vesta that the very supply itself might be anchored into your hands and use for the manifestation of the victory.

As Jesus called the multitudes to gather together in companies of fifty, so I call to you and I say, let there be sustained in this campus a tag that does not abate that consists of ten individuals as the ten righteous ones who keep the flame of the City Foursquare, and let that continue twenty-four hours a day until your victory is won! [Audience applauds.]

And let there come forth volunteers of Keepers of the Flame from the community as well as the staff and members of Summit University as well as the little children and those who are at Montessori International and all who hear this word and all who receive this dictation this day. Let them come forth and let them see that the sustainment of the open door of contact to our octave twenty-four hours a day is the key to the sustainment of contact from your heart to the hearts of lightbearers around the world who will open because they have made their vows at inner levels to give of their resources unto this cause of freedom for America and freedom for every lover of freedom in every nation on earth.

As I stand before you today I am looking into the eyes of souls who are kneeling in prayer in Russia and in the eastern nations of Europe, who are looking to God and to Jesus and unknowingly to me, and who are praying, and whose entire hearts and souls believe in the promises of God and in the coming together again of the people of Israel. Can I look into their faces and into their eyes and receive their prayers and not go forth to answer that prayer by building the bulwark of freedom and of salvation unto the victory in America?

I cannot! And I say to you that you are a part of my gaze and a part of my eyes and a part of my body, my soul, and my heart. And as you become the instruments of the victory, you become the answer to that prayer; for in order to answer this prayer in this octave, we must perform that work of the Lord through dedicated hearts and hands.

Let this, then, be the message to all souls of light who have heard the call of the Ancient of Days: the ascended masters have already proclaimed the victory. Now it is up to every individual who knows of this teaching and of this Word to come forth with only love; for no other vibration will suffice, no other vibration will do, but only love and purest love and the crystal stream of God’s consciousness will precipitate this cosmic cube, this alchemy, this manifestation of the victory. Let us see, then, what joy we have in being alchemists together and miracle workers of the age as we create, seemingly out of nothing, the great victory of all that is required to perform the services of the Mother unto her children.

Precious hearts, this is the age of the crucifixion of the Mother, and it is through mechanization, it is through manipulation, it is through the misuses of the seven rays of the chohans. And therefore the lords of the rays stand forth to support this endeavor, to support the overcoming; for this is the overcoming victory whereby you pass through the station where the Mother has been placed on the cross and the old self has died on the cross.

Now this is the moment when we take the Mother and her children down from the cross and lay her in the tomb. And that tomb is the place prepared in time and space for the working out of the salvation of the resurrection and the life for all mankind. It is the tomb that is necessary, you see. It is the place provided by Joseph of Arimathea, that place prepared so that the one who has passed through the initiation of the crucifixion may now work out the salvation and the destiny of souls in incarnation as well as those on the astral plane, the mental plane, and the etheric plane who are coming into incarnation.

We are one, and there is no separation of our oneness. There is one body and one soul and one heart. And therefore this crucifixion of the Mother and the children has been borne by all collectively, and therefore will all bear collectively the resurrection and the life and the victory and the hope and the joy.

This you must understand and you must not confuse the issues! You must not confuse this hour of overcoming with the hour when you will be caught into that place of the Holy Spirit and that community where for a moment you will be able to rest and to enjoy and to be a part of all of the great gifts and the abundance. You must not confuse the hour of Armageddon with the hour of your ascension and the hour of your nirvanic rest. For there is a time for nirvana and there is a time for action in the planes of Mater.

And therefore let not the disgruntled ones and those who continue to persecute the Woman with their condemnation of the system of hierarchy and of the Community of the Spirit be allowed to intrude themselves upon the mystery school. For I tell you, if it were not for the mystery school of the Essenes, the entire dispensation of Christianity would have never been born! I tell you it requires the white-fire core of discipline!

And whether you be called odd or different or peculiar—it does not matter. Those who are to retain these intense sacred energies of Alpha and Omega, those who will bear the seed of Alpha to bring in the avatars, they must be of a different temperament and a different light and they must shun the world and its ways.

So let the stalwart and the few, the same few who overcame and resisted and fought in the Revolution and won and who founded this great nation, let the same ones come together again. And let those who complain and weep and wail in their desolation concerning their little things that must be surrendered unto the light, let them go their way; for there is a whole world waiting for them and they can enjoy life as they see fit. They have free will and I am the champion of that will and that freedom.

But I say, I AM Saint Germain, and I AM in the midst of the City Foursquare with Jesus and Magda and Mother Mary. And I AM the Father of the Church and of the dispensation. And therefore I will proclaim the Word and the law of the Father that this company and this community of saints will be disciplined in the law as I disciplined Jesus that he might fulfill the law and the way of the Christ.

Oh, you did not know that it was necessary to discipline Jesus? You thought perhaps he was just born a lightbearer and perfect all his life. Well, I tell you that these things are deleted from Scripture to make him an exception to the rule. And those of you who bring forth children of the new age must understand that it does not matter the inner attainment of the Christ, the outer self must be disciplined because it has a tie and a magnetism to the world outside that is based on self-indulgence. And therefore, the child must be trained. The child must be trained as chela from birth and not indulged in the ways of the world.

And this is the meaning and the purpose of Joseph coming to care for Mary and the Child. The children must be kept in line. And therefore, you see, I will keep in line all of the children of this community of the Spirit and I will reinforce the disciplines of the messengers. And I will tell you that it is possible to keep that community established by Mark, established by Elizabeth through the ascended master El Morya and myself. And only by these disciplines of the ascended masters will you find yourselves receiving that torch and that grant and that victory which is passed to you this day by the Cosmic Council.

So let it be and let it be sealed in your heart. And let your light move forward and your consciousness be so occupied with the victory and the sacred labor of the victory that you no longer sit and think about yourself and what you will do with your poor little self. Well, give that poor little self to me and I will know what to do with it! I will give it first of all a sacred-fire shower, and I will put you in the light of a great waterfall of my own mighty I AM God flame.

And I will inundate you with the fires that are at once a flowing water of light and an elixir of consciousness that you might be purged and bathed and freed from the substance and the stain of the things of this life. And then when you are clean and made whole, then I will put you to the task of serving in the ranks of lightbearers.

I will tell you, then, that you must consider it a privilege to be among this company of lightbearers and not that you are somehow the one who is coming to offer yourself and that the community ought to be privileged to receive you. It is, then, in fact that the ascended masters as well as their unascended chelas have need of the light and have need of community, and therefore what you give to that community is far outweighed by the gain of the individual and the community collectively and the net gain to all mankind, to Almighty God, and to the lightbearers of future generations.

Take heart, then, for I take the precious amethyst that is anchored in the physical forcefield and I transfer to you now from the heart of Holy Amethyst and from the heart of Zadkiel that infusion of heart fire, that purple fiery heart which I have championed which is indeed the very heart of America. And I give to you that momentum of heart that is the wine of Christ, that is the very blood of Jesus the Lord. And I say to you, let your bodies be infused with new strength and new life, and let all those who are selfless in the way know this strength and let those who faint by the way know that their fainting is because they have not yet surrendered their all to the will of God.

Be sensible in your service, then, be diligent, and hearken unto the angel who stands in your midst to call you. This is the hour of the victory and it is that hour when a moment’s hesitation can mean the loss of the prize and the calling. My standing before you does not guarantee your victory. It only gives to you the promise that the victory is possible if you do your part.

I call to all lightbearers and all Keepers of the Flame: This is the hour for the summoning of the will! This is the hour when all that has gone before will count for freedom on Terra!

I thank you, I AM with you, and I AM on my way to seal the hearts of friends of freedom throughout the earth that you might be one in the overcoming.

The above dictation by Saint Germain was dictated to the Messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet in Pasadena, California, on April 24, 1977 (11:50 a.m.-12:21 p.m. PDT).

SAINT GERMAIN. Alchemy, the ancient science attributed to Adam, Noah, Moses, Solomon, Zoroaster, and Hermes, became more widely known during the first century in the Hellenistic culture of Alexandria, Egypt, through the synthesis of Greek philosophy, Egyptian technology, and the mysticism of middle eastern religions. First-century alchemists studied the Aristotelian hypothesis of ‘prime matter’, the basis for all substances in the terrestrial world. Upon this matter, forms could be impressed.

The interaction of matter and form produces the four elements—fire, air, water, and earth–which in turn produce all material creation. Changes in the proportions of these elements in any given body result in the change of form; therefore, any substance can be changed into any other substance if the right conditions can be found. This hypothesis encouraged skilled metallurgists to speculate upon the cause for the behavior of the metals with which they had become so adept. In preparing gold and silver ornaments for the wealthy, they naturally experimented with imitations for poorer customers and postulated that, if Aristotle was correct, they should be able to make gold as easily as any substitute.

They were supported in this view by astrologers who also believed that under proper astrological circumstances the transmutation of base metals into gold could occur more readily. Just as the body grows and the soul passes through the initiations of the crucifixion and the resurrection into the perfectionment of immortal life, so the ancient alchemists saw how metals developed within the earth from the less perfect substances of lead, copper, tin, iron, and mercury to the flawlessness of gold. They observed that they could hasten the process of change by careful nurture and long heating—‘killing’ the metal and then reviving it in a more refined state over and over again until gold is produced.

These alchemists invented many types of laboratory apparatus (which, in modified form, are still used today by modern chemists). Essentially artisans, they wished to keep their alchemy a trade secret and so invented symbolic names which the uninitiated could not understand. They used astrological signs to denote the five metals, relating them in inherent characteristics to the five known planets. Gold belonged to the sun, silver to the moon. As Hellenistic philosophy shifted from the scientific viewpoint to an emphasis on divine revelation in Gnosticism, Neoplatonism, and Christianity, alchemical writings became more and more mystical. In the East, early Chinese alchemists following the Taoist philosophy sought to understand the way of natural law (tao means “way”).

They made use of a ‘medicine’—a substance which when added to mercury or other metals brought about the alchemy. Gold thus prepared possessed the power of conferring healing or even immortality to anyone who consumed it. As in the West, Chinese alchemy later became mystical and the writings obscure. When the Nestorian Christians broke from the Orthodox church in the fifth century, they founded schools throughout Asia Minor and taught the philosophy and science of their Hellenistic background which included alchemy. In the eighth and ninth centuries, the Nestorians contacted the Arabs who became intensely interested in Greek science. Through them, alchemy began to return to its practical origins.

Since the Arabs were also in contact with China, they incorporated into their alchemical literature the Chinese concept of the ‘medicine’ which became the ‘philosopher’s stone’ of later European alchemists. The philosopher’s stone could heal the ‘sick’ (base) metals by converting them into gold and also act as an elixir of life. After the fall of Rome, almost all traces of Greek philosophy and science in Western Europe were lost and alchemy disappeared. In the eleventh and twelfth centuries, however, a reawakening of interest in science led to the investigation of Arab secrets. Many of their alchemical works were translated into Latin and later into all the major European tongues.

In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, scholars such as Roger Bacon (Saint Germain) and Albertus Magnus devoted themselves to compiling all phases of knowledge into encyclopedic works. Alchemy served as an important link in their understanding. In the fifteenth century, alchemists began to turn their attention to more practical purposes than the attempt to make gold. It was at that time that Paracelsus developed metallic medicines and founded the school of iatrochemistry—the chemistry of medicines, the forerunner of modern pharmacology. The discovery of the structure of the atom at the beginning of the twentieth century has supported one of the oldest alchemical theories.

The electron and the nucleus of protons and neutrons could be considered ‘prime matter’ and their structural relations the form which confers individual properties. In the light of the Holy Spirit, Ascended Master Saint Germain teaches his disciples in the twentieth century “spiritual alchemy,” which is the science of self-transformation.

The following statements were taken directly from Studies in Alchemy by Saint Germain, published by The Summit Lighthouse.

When properly understood, alchemy deals with the conscious power of controlling mutations and transmutations within Matter and energy and even within life itself. The inner meaning of alchemy is simply all-composition, implying the relation of the all of the creation to the parts which compose it. It is the science of the mystic and it is the forte of the self-realized man who, having sought, has found himself to be one with God and is willing to play his part.

Two thousand years ago when Christ walked upon the waters of the Sea of Galilee, his demonstration was a manifestation of the natural law of levitation operating within an energy framework of cohesion, adhesion, and magnetism—the very principles which make orbital flight possible. The light atoms composing the body of Christ absorbed at will an additional quantity of cosmic rays and spiritual substance whose kinship to physical light made his whole body light, thereby making it as easy for him to walk upon the sea as upon dry land. His body was purely a ray of light shining upon the waters.

The most dazzling conception of all was his ability to transfer this authority over energy to Peter through the power of Peter’s own vision of the Christ in radiant, illumined manifestation. By taking his eyes temporarily from the Christ, however, Peter entered a human fear vibration and vortex which immediately densified his body, causing it to sink partially beneath the raging seas. The comforting hand of Christ, extended in pure love, reunited the alchemical tie, and the flow of spiritual energy through his hand raised Peter once again to safety.

The key to alchemy that must precede the acquisition of all other keys is the mastery of yourself; for self-mastery is the key to all self-knowledge. You must acknowledge without question that you yourself are the alchemist who shall determine the design of your creation. Furthermore, you must know your self as the Real Self and your creation as coming forth from that Self.

When used by the alchemist, symbols and symbology properly understood are literally charged with meaning. For example, mercury is the symbol of speed and interprets to the consciousness the thought of wakeful, reverent alertness, which swiftly endows the chemistry of action with the intensity of application.

Salt equates with the idea of selfhood and reminds mankind of the need to have the self retain the savor of its Divine Source in preference to the crystallization of identity within the Sodom and Gomorrah of materiality indicated in the historical figure of Lot’s wife. Fire, as life, is the catalyst which can be increased from the cosmic light within the cosmic rays in order to intensify and purify the radiance of life in the contemplated design.

Earth symbolizes the natural crystalline densities created out of Spirit’s energies and sustained by the beings of the elemental kingdom. These tiny creators, in their mimicry of human discord, have transferred to nature mankind’s inharmonious patterns.

It is this discord imposed upon the very atoms of substance which the alchemist will purify by fire. If man expects to succeed in alchemy, which is in truth dependent on the higher laws of spiritual science, he must nurture the faith on which the strength of his invocation and concentration will rest.

The now of the present hour must be utilized as a chalice of spiritual opportunity. Each man must become aware of his choices and select either freedom of fetters as he explores the chemistry of his present state, brings it into focus upon the mirror of truth, and then determines to alter each base condition.
