"I hold it in my hand in this dictation for a very purpose. For I am charging this copy and through it every copy of this book with the full, flaming presence of my new day, my revolution to all. May this book itself find its goal in every nation and in every language.

"It is a handbook. It is the little book which may be devoured, and it will begin the alchemicalization. It will begin the process worldwide of the raising up of the coil of the violet flame. To this, then, be dedicated, and know that I have indeed come again, my mantle with me, our beloved Alpha and Omega and the Cosmic Council so decreeing that I may go forth in this hour and that I may truly have the opportunity of the quickening.

"Beloved hearts, the mantle given to me for this Stump, which I have placed upon the Messenger, has been the very dispensation to galvanize Lightbearers. May this Word continue through you. May you also understand the message that is the stepping-stones of life whereby those lost in a dead doctrine may be the quickened who come first to the understanding of eternal Life and then to its Love and then to its manifestation by that courage and honor of the heart.

"Beloved ones of the sacred fire, take, then, my trilogy of the threefold flame of the heart. Internalize it and make it your own. By the true study of this fourfold work on alchemy you can become the alchemist and the adept right where you are. We bridge the gap. Indeed we bring the altar of Israel to your very heart and home."

" . . . I give you, then, the two most dangerous points [of vulnerability] on the path of initiation. The [first is the soul] being out of alignment with the will and the law of God on the four o’clock line —and with God as Love, as Wisdom, as Power. [The initiations of the flame of God-Obedience charted on this line in polarity with the flame of God-Vision on the ten o’clock line] involve the use of the All-Seeing Eye of God to behold the Divine Lawgiver and to embrace Him. [It is spiritual blindness caused by selfishness, self-love and self-pity (charted on the ten o’clock line) that produces] the out-of-alignment state with my heart as I also sit on [the four o’clock] line waiting, waiting for you to come into my heart of Taurus.

"I AM the Buddha, with Godfre, keeping this flame for you, beloved. Do not circumvent this [10/4 axis] any longer. By the violation of the All-Seeing Eye of God through the ignorance, [or the ignoring,] of the Law—by your failure to study it or by your defiance of the Law, having knowledge of it yet going against it—you may still lose everything though you feel quite safe and content in our Western Shamballa. This, then, must needs be corrected.

"Blessed hearts, I pray you will seek Cyclopea’s All-Seeing Eye of God to correct misconceptions, misstatements, misalignments. Give Cyclopea a twenty-four-hour cycle to answer a round of decrees to that mighty Elohim of the Fifth Ray to enlighten you, to correct your vision that you might see what you should see. Each time you decide to cross the line of the Law [of Love], beloved, give a round of Cyclopeas and see what you see in twenty-four hours before deciding to go ahead with your ill-conceived plans that may seem so right in the moment."

" . . . 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.

" . . . and there, you see, I will keep in line all of the children of this Community of the Spirit and I will reinforce the discipline of the Messengers."

" . . . Seeing that all harm eventually returns to the one sending it forth, would it not be well for all true alchemists to take the vow of harmlessness, at the same time recognizing that the defense of truth and freedom sometimes necessitates making a choice between the lesser of evils?"

" . . . The greatest service you can render on earth is to be among those who presage the coming age of enlightenment, when thousands and millions of people will have this inner sight. You must develop not only the inner sight but also the auric forcefield that will be a great magnet to those who truly desire and have the singular aspiration to ascend to the throne of God in this embodiment.

" . . . The necessary ingredient whereby you are able to convert many to the path of light is the ingredient of love, of compassion, of kindness, of concern and care and consideration for each part of life. Love is what people are seeking.

" . . . Secondly, then, it is a certain level of self-mastery whereby you have self-respect and those who see you also respect you because they recognize that you have your self-esteem, you have your self-worth. And in that self-worth you can reach out with the magnanimous heart.

" . . . I am giving you an experience in my aura this day, which all who hear or read this dictation shall have also; for my Electronic Presence will come to you. And that experience, beloved, is to know the freedom of the addictions of this octave, to be able to walk away from them and to be able to say:

“'Saint Germain has called me this day. He has called me to be an adept. And if he has called me to be an adept, he must believe in me, that I can in truth become an adept. And therefore, because Saint Germain believes in me, then I will become that adept! For I will not let down my master, who has supported me for these many tens of thousands of years, but I will show the world that I AM a true student of Saint Germain and a chela of the seventh age.

“'I will show that to the world, and I will say, ‘Enough! Begone! all these distractions and indulgences. Begone! For I value life and immortal life. I value, then, being able to balance more of my karma. I value it because I know it is possible.'

“‘And I know, because we have the messenger and because we have the Mystery School, I shall not lose my ascension [while] carrying on beyond the 51 percent of my karma when the going gets tough and the challenges get rough and I am there, overloaded with karma. For I know that I have recourse in those in embodiment and those in ascended octaves.’”

"Truly, the liberated heart is the sign of the adept. The adept is the one of highest love; and because he has the highest love, he is not lacking in intellect but his intellect derives from the Mind of God. The one who has the highest love will, because he loves, acquire the knowledge of the things of this world as well as the knowledge of the things of God. Thus balanced, he is ultimately effective on the path of righteousness."

" . . . Know then that that beam of light, that beacon that comes forth by God seeing perfection of all creation, is a lifeline that you may call forth, that you may use, that you may seize and follow to the center of life! And thereby when you have hold of that lightbeam of the Eye of God no force, no
magnetism, no pull of death, decay and disnintegration can tear you from the path of initiation.

" . . . I bid you welcome into the plane of all-seeing and I thrust before you the opportunity of testing, testing the action of the all-seeing Eye! Try the mantra of Cyclopea! Let it be the alchemy that magnetizes by a vortex of emerald fire all energies of being into the cube of cosmic destiny! The sacred formula of alchemy: Theos equals God, rule equals law, you equals being; Theos plus rule plus you equals God's law active as principle within your being (T-r-y). You are the keystone in the arch of the sacred aum."

" . . . I tell you, beloved, were you to be in a mystery school as unascended adepts, were you to be at the Ascension Temple of Serapis at Luxor or at the retreats of other chohans or of the Maha Chohan, your discipline would be this: to not imbibe the things of the world and not be lured away from your goal by the passing baubles and trinkets of those who come by with their psychic wares but rather to be true to your Divine Spouse—to your I AM Presence, to your Holy Christ Self and to the abundance of the Teachings given."

"Look up! Expand your horizons! Look at the map of the earth, the solar system, the galaxy and claim it all for the seed of Sanat Kumara. There is no limitation in the heart of Alpha as regards your own calling, beloved, none whatsoever. The only limitation is the limitation that you yourself should retain in consciousness."

"Man's 'need' to substitute his lesser human powers for his lost divine ones has caused him to seek to master methods of both mind and mechanics in directing and controlling matter and even thoughts . . . Therefore man's sense of limitation and recognition thereof is one of the hindrances which inhibits his full life of expression. This false sense bobs to the surface of consciousness like a cork to signal his defeat as he reels in the fish story or lie of the carnal mind with its attendant limitations.

" . . . Not a pretty picture is all of this human sinkhole where self-pity holds sway and lifetime after lifetime pass with precious little progress. Contributing to this delay and demi-existence is the woeful sense of frustration as the soul with all of its impelling aspirations, like a caged bird, seeks to break the barriers that surround it."

"Ah yes, mankind have a warped view of life and of the Teaching and of the Path. They do not know the way and the very tenderness of our Father's love and of His understanding.

" . . . Life can begin for you this hour, but the conversion implies a will—a will forged and won within your heart, a will that will magnetize that energy of devotion from a member of the ascended hosts who responds to the call of your heart for the Teacher who will then come and invest you with that magnet, that flame, that fiery coil, that momentum that is able to reverse the course of death and destruction.

" . . . Where would the Master (Jesus) have gone had there not been a home consecrated by the flame of constancy?"

"True adeptship is the path of Love. Gautama Buddha is an adept and more than an adept. One cannot pass the nexus to Almighty God and His powers, including His physical powers in you, except one pass through the door of the Christ. 'I AM the open door which no man can shut. I AM the way. No man cometh to the Father but by me.' These are the words of Jesus. He was speaking of the Universal Christ, the nexus of our being and his. We cannot get to the door or pass through the door without love."

"And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.

"You need to understand world hatred. You need to laugh at world hatred. You need to realize that the Light in you draws it right out of people—people you don’t even know."

"And this is why I say it is the greatest moment in all history for each and every one of you to make your statement and to establish that contact with God which all who have gone before you have made, and thereby become instruments of Light and spiritual power and healing and the holding of the balance of nations.

"The overwhelming proof is on the side of the path of discipleship. It has a consistency over tens and thousands of years. You will not find any difference, save perhaps in a slight manner of form or ritual, in the paths of the saints East or West. There is no difference in the light of the eye or the shining of the aura or the power of the chakras or the beginning ability of transmutation and alchemy that comes into your life when you begin to invoke the violet flame.

"The consistency of this path, side by side with the absolute inconsistency of the factions of Protestantism, of Catholicism, of Judaism, or of the Moslems who argue perpetually one with the other and remain separated and divided because they cannot agree on the letter! And they have left off from the true Spirit. And even in that spirit of ecumenism, beloved ones, you find that they have not come to the resolution of their doctrine nor have they given to their flocks the power of God to turn the tide of world conditions.

"One and all, understand the great joy as a child rejoices in his first step, the first word he can spell or read or identify on a sign, the first piece he can play on the piano, or a laurel wreath given at graduation. Understand that the path of achievement-striving, running in the race, winning the gold cup—is a path that mirrors the path of discipleship to all. It is the sense internally: 'I have worked, I have mastered—God with me and by his grace. And because I know who I AM and God is with me, I can do these things.'

"It's like having it in your pocket. It is something you have done. When and if it should ever be the case that a master do for the disciple what the disciple can only do for himself, the disciple will be just like the child or any of you. The person for whom something is given without responsibility, without effort and work, without inner achievement resents the individual who gives to him that reward without effort.

"Thus, the false pastors who preach create in fact a servile relationship of sinners to a favorite son, and internally and subconsciously it is actually the hatred of Christ that is at work. It is a psychological maneuver of the fallen angels, preaching hellfire and brimstone and enormous fear and an angry God and the promise of everlasting hell and damnation to those who do not repent. These are the preachments of the Devil who has created an alternative religion to the true teaching of Jesus Christ.

"Realize this: that many pastors who are thus indoctrinated are not of an evil bent but have simply followed the party line they have been given and that has been carried on for generations. The proof is in the pudding. The proof is in the action. Where are the results? Where are the results?

"When Billy Graham goes to the Communist world and declares that all is well and Baptists have freedom and they ought to submit to their governments, how is all well—when, not having the power to challenge Communism, they decide to give in and recommend that true Christians submit to the brutality that is going on yet today and the persecutions?

"Who will cry out to the living God and take a stand and be willing to be a fool for Christ?"

"Take particular note that Archangel Michael called you to seek adeptship on the occasion of the thirty-third anniversary of The Summit Lighthouse, its founding in Philadelphia. Take note that Meta has called you to a path and that you have been reminded to balance the karma of the misuse of God’s power that you might receive power once again—the power of Alpha, the power of Omega, of heaven and of earth. Note, then, the caution [that you must take] in guarding the action of protection, in keeping the discipline of Love, of entering into the Light and choosing mercy as the means of the opening of the flower of the heart.

"Blessed ones, to teach you how to come forward and to hold the Light and to protect it and to retain your God-harmony, to teach you to give the calls for the binding of the hosts of Darkness, the hordes of Death and Hell and those who remain in physical embodiment and on the astral plane as practitioners of the black arts, which practices they have followed for many centuries—I am called to Summit University.

"Blessed ones, those who arrive at the gate of power shall be assailed by the fallen ones. And if they do not have considerable self-mastery, the fallen ones shall move together as one host of Darkness to cut down that one who dares to rise in the Power of God, the Wisdom of God and the Love of God in the purity of the balance of the Divine Mother on planet earth.

"I speak on behalf of Padma Sambhava (the sponsoring Guru of your Messenger), of Jesus Christ, Lord Maitreya, Gautama Buddha and Sanat Kumara. I speak on behalf, beloved, of the Five Dhyani Buddhas. Yes, beloved, we would transmit to you not only knowledge but the means of self-discipline, for surely we desire to transfer that power of God, and quickly so, that you might aid and assist the many.

"The time has come for you to understand that all chelas are not equal and those who consider themselves the first may find themselves the last. But to be last or first signifies that you are
called and chosen. Better to be last, then, than the one beyond the last who did not enter in.

" . . . Therefore, beloved, the age of true empowerment has come. If you are not ready, be willing to make yourself ready. Be willing to pursue for whatever time or extended time may be required of you that you might receive the full prize.

" . . . All those who keep the Flame in this hour of earth’s great travail shall know a strength and an attainment for having stood fast. Therefore count your opportunity as wondrous, as mighty and as holy in the Lord to be in the earth, to have access to the adepts, to receive that transfer of Light and Knowledge.

" . . . Many of you have made stunning progress on the Path and are stars in the sea of maya. Your Light shines to the heavens. And you have made this progress, some in decades and some in less, through your studies of the teachings published under The Summit Lighthouse.

"Know, then, how you have traversed lifetimes of karma and how those who have gone before you who have passed from the screen of life through this activity have either entered octaves of Light or made their ascension.

"Truly the Lighthouse is not only the beacon light in a darkened world but also the open door for heaven to step through and commune directly with you. And it is the goal, beloved, that the Messenger as the go-between should eventually not be needed but that you should have
—through the bonding [of your soul] to the living Christ in you—that direct and perpetual contact.

"This can come, beloved, only when you are able to seal the rents in the garment, to heal them and to see them mended by angels. For the accuracy in communication must be exact else [even] at a very high level of attainment you could still fall by the deceptions of the fallen ones."

" . . . the chelas on the Path do not understand the nature or the necessity of suffering until the full victory is won.”

" . . . I say the quality of God-happiness is essential to meet adversity, but the pleasure of the senses in excess does surely detract from the straight and the narrow way.

"Thus, may your forces be focused that you might not perceive your karma alone but have an eye and an ear for others who suffer and, [taking divine pity upon them,] say thereby, “There but for the grace of God go I.”

"May you see yourself in every life who suffers. May you know that as long as life suffers, a part of you is suffering with that life, for God is one. May you understand, as the leaves of my book have given up much profound teaching through the Messenger, that the path to be walked is worth every joy that you encounter and every sorrow.

" . . . Now, beloved, I come: I would turn your grief to joy, your sickness to health, your emptiness to fullness. May you have the realism and the true wisdom to know how the grace of God is upon those who serve the Christ and the soul of one another.

"Lose yourself, immerse yourself in the self-givingness and the self-emptying; for that which infills you after the giving is so much greater than that which you have given. Be willing to let go, to no longer have the last word, to be silent where an argument may be brewing, to sense the inner flame and to rise above the morasses of life.

"May you go out of your way to help others, building and banking such good karma that in the day of thy adversity, in the day of the dark night of the soul, the fire that blazes, for you yourself have kindled it, shall cause there to be no night there.

"The spiritual devotees on the Path have their work cut out for them, but I stress the joy. If any man or woman think that this is a path of martyrdom, let him depart hence; for martyrdom is not the way to the kingdom of God but a true compassionate self-givingness.

"I am Phylos and I come from the battleground of Earth unto the realms of glory. As you go through my book you shall have an experience yourself at inner levels if you meditate, if you decree, if you give the Ashram rituals and maintain your attunement with the masterful beings of Venus who are called upon in your rituals."

"Blessed ones, I say to you: Work for your adeptship! Work for it and cherish it. Cherish it as though your adeptship were the very necessity [for you] to be the presence in the earth that must be there for the denying of abortion, for the sparing of those souls who must enter. Think of it as working for your knighthood or your ladyhood.

"Yes, beloved ones, think of the necessity to rise to the degrees of self-mastery because in that self-mastery I can work through you and know that you—as I knew with that one—will not in any level or degree misqualify the Light or the manifestation of my presence, for you, like that one, will have proven yourself [trustworthy] many, many times.

"I will take no chances. I will not make karma for your indiscretions, for your misuses of the Light. Therefore, see who I will work through, who has the inner peace and the balance of the four lower bodies, who has followed the Messenger in using the diet of the Eastern adepts as a means to that God-control of all the physical levels of the body and then the emotions and then the mind and then the memory.

"Beloved ones, the discipline is total, but look at what is before you! If suddenly this place were removed and all of a sudden you were in a large arena and in that arena were men of war, men of largeness, and they were slaughtering thousands and thousands of babies, you would leap to the center, you would bind them, you would rescue those whom you could rescue."

Bowed Down? Write to Saint Germain, to Portia

"If you are bowed down, blessed ones, write a letter to me, write a letter to my beloved Portia. And you will receive a reply that directly addresses those situations you face in your world. .

" . . . Whatever it takes to remind you to offer a fiat to God once in each sixty minutes, let it be done. If you make but one call an hour, you will be summoning untold legions of Light who will come in formation to respond to your call. Do not forget this. This is a major dispensation from the heart of God through the Holy Kumaras . . .

"I, Saint Germain, am standing with you now. Therefore take the tide at its flood. Take your own empowerment and declare it in the words you frame as you commune with your God and implore your empowerment. You may say: In the name of my Mighty I AM Presence, I claim my empowerment by the Holy Spirit. And I shout it to the heavens and I reach the God Star!

"Do it now, Beloved . . .

"The very beginning of empowerment is to understand that empowerment is a bestowal whereby you internalize increments of God’s omnipotence. It is not a thing of mortals; it is a thing of God. Yes, beloved, empowerment is of the omnipotence of God. For you to make this power your own you must become humble.

"You must self-monitor, for you do not all have a Guru that is ascended whom you may speak with and talk with. Thus, listen to your Holy Christ Self, and know when you have vexed the Holy Spirit or grieved the Holy Spirit or even snuffed out the candle of your own being. Self-monitoring is far more important than watching all of the sports events that pass on the TV screen.

"Be players, beloved, for as Morya has said, life is not a spectator sport. You are making things happen! You are not spectators . . . "

"Beloved Mighty I AM Presence, beloved Holy Christ Self, and beloved Holy Christ Selves of the saints of the Church, beloved two witnesses, Lanello and Mother, [beloved Padmasambava], beloved Jesus the Christ, beloved Maitreya Buddha, beloved Gautama Buddha, beloved Sanat Kumara, the Ancient of Days, beloved hosts of the LORD serving unto the throne of the Lord God Almighty:

"I AM thy living potential become thy quickening Spirit. I AM thy child who has claimed thy Sonship. In thy name, I AM THAT I AM, I therefore invoke the initiations of the Ruby Ray through thy emissaries and thy messengers above and below, in Spirit and in Matter. For I and my Father are One, and I will to be thy witness on the path of sainthood.

"Having made this invocation, you are now ready to receive the two witnesses as the person of Christ Jesus come in the flesh. This confession is your calling and the necessary conviction for your beginning on the Path."

"The greatest initiations and the greatest revelations of the sacred mysteries can be invoked through simple faith in the imminent possibility of deliverance from those conditions which seem so deeply entrenched that one could very easily consider them to be hopeless. Not so with God. As was spoken to Abraham of old by the angel visitant, "Is any thing too hard for the Lord?"

"Yet men will acknowledge that they sometimes try to bargain with God, 'You give me this, and I will give you that.' This, by cosmic law, they cannot do. For when men tempt the law by making promises that they may intend to keep but then do not, they are the losers; for those who dispense the quality of mercy that is inherent within the law are bound by cosmic rules to search the akashic records and to observe the conduct of each applicant for mercy. Then, after examination of the personal history, the decision is made as to whether the best interests of the individual are served by the merciful act of withholding descending karma or by letting fall the arc of the law.

"Wise, then, are all who, in their erstwhile cosmic bargaining to enhance their positions, recognize the need to appreciate the blessings which life has already afforded them and not to be overly prone to complaint even when circumstances seem for a time to go against their best interests or what they think are their best interests.

"After all, who can say better than the Lords of Karma (who have at their disposal the complete file of the life records of every man, woman, and child on the planet) as to just how the soul is
best served? Those who really understand the purposes of initiation are aware that in this day and age many of the initiations of the disciples are taken in the world outside of the temples of the Brotherhood.

"This means that those undergoing various tests may not openly see the hand of God or of the Karmic Board in the manipulated flow of their contact with various individuals and situations in which they find themselves, which may or may not be to their liking. If they could see what takes place behind the scenes they would be less inclined to react, as they sometimes do, to circumstances which are intended to create the opportunity for a flow of healing love to pour through them, blessing one or more lifestreams with whom they may formerly have been
involved.

" . . . The tendency of mankind to anthropomorphize various aspects of the Deity from time to time qualifies his consciousness with concepts which must be transmuted. While God, by the great wheel of his law, is able to make contact with man at any point in the individual life cycle and to intercede on his behalf and render magnificent assistance, man, by reason of his misconceptions of the Deity, frequently interferes with that assistance and prevents its descent as drops of mercy from on high.

"Wise, then, is the soul who learns to retain that natural plasticity of mind and consciousness which will keep open the door to his highest good. The ways of God are so much higher than the ways of men that in expressing understanding they, too, frequently employ the old familiar idioms, neglecting to consider that in assessing the mystery of the Divine they must use the building blocks of a new language of the Spirit and a set of transcendental values. This language and these values must be inculcated into consciousness. They must be builded into character, and they must precede the manifestation of greater understanding.

"Our Brotherhood awaits the investiture of each aspirant with those white robes of divine righteousness, the beautiful symbol of true initiation."

"Thus, when you know the Truth, remember, you are a teacher to those who know not what you know. The first requirement is to be certain that you do know what you know and know it well and can impart it logically from premise to conclusion, that the Teaching itself might become unto the pupil a law that upholds the standard of individuality.

"Beloved ones, you must understand that when the subject is unknown and not always sought after, those who would be students if they knew better may not be students. And they must be convinced that they need to take this course in the divine geometry of Being, renewing their awareness on the outer of that which they have known on the inner."

"Beloved ones, heaven—heaven personified in many exalted beings illustrious as the stars—has conspired in this hour to create opportunity for the advanced souls in and out of embodiment to enter new levels of conscious cooperation.

"Rather than give and give again that support to lifestreams who have made quite a mess of things in the outer world, heaven places its bet on the most advanced ones, trusting that a veritable lodestone of power might indeed produce in the earth a magnet, an interior force, a point of stabilization, that the filings, as the souls of Light across the earth, shall not be able to resist so great a magnitude of the force of the Mother in ye all and in the earth and thus [these filings—-i.e., pieces of iron representing souls of Light] shall be drawn to their own [Magnet of the] Higher Consciousness through your presence, your face, your life, your sweet footprints, and ever your gentleness and adoring love toward the stranger at thy gate.

"Take heed, for I warn. Entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Be the servant of each one who would enter at the gate, or the healer, and let wisdom direct the course of dealing with all difficult circumstances. Give the soul—give to us, the ascended masters, and give to your cohorts of Light, the unascended masters—the opportunity to demagnetize those burdened by their entities and the bag and baggage of the world.

" . . . Do you think that we need this temple built? Nay, thou needest it! Beloved ones, the need is in the process. The need is in the exercise of the emerald sphere. Why, if the chelas of El Morya and the devotees of Buddha had the outer awareness of such an opportunity, there would be lines waiting to be accepted to serve here."

"When you walk the path of self-mastery, you must have the precision of an artist, the timing of a piano concerto. You must have within you the sense of the flow of spirals of the great antahkarana of Life and the intricate weavings of the mind of God. You must become one with the mathematics of cosmos.

" . . . This is the path which Christ walked. He cast out fear as the demons, as the palsied one. He cast out fear of death and want. He cast it out in every form and lived to prove the Law of Excellence and of Love.

"You must fulfill the life of the Piscean conqueror ere you can fulfill your divine plan in Aquarius. And the majority among you will not be allowed to take your ascension until you have fulfilled your divine plan in Aquarius, and the fulfillment of the divine plan is a necessary requirement of your ascension.

" . . . God is not an unwise investor of energy. He does not place in your hand that which you have proven yourself incapable of defending, else God himself would be bankrupt. And therefore, the testing, therefore the Path, therefore initiation.

"Do not listen unto those who tell you that the moment they came upon the path of the ascended masters, this and that calamity befell them. Do not listen to their complaints. Do not listen to their justification and their self-pity.

" . . . So then, when you enter the Path, it is not the unreal path of euphoria, of dancing merrily in the fields of daisies. It is the Path where for every virtue you invoke, you must first cast out the counterfeit vice and then be found worthy to receive and contain that virtue—not a virtue that is won by human effort, but a virtue that is the gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit, virtue that comes by reason of the magnetization of the God flame.

" . . . Do you know what courage is? Do you know what long-suffering is? Do you know what it is to hold out against the fallen ones and to stand, to stand trial before the tribunal of the world and to let cosmic justice vanquish all lies against your soul?

"If you do not know it now, you will know it one day; for this, too, is the path of initiation. And
every Christed one who has gone before you who has faced the condemnation of the world and withstood the liar and his lie has had restored to him the all-power in heaven and in earth that was given to Jesus the Christ. You can overcome because God is in you—not because you have any element sufficient unto itself, but only because God is in you and because you choose in this hour to liberate the energy of God!

"Hearts of freedom, I need not tell you of the dire conditions of Terra. You can see. You know
what is coming upon this land and upon the world. You are not blind.

"But this I would tell you: The mastery of the cycles of personal and planetary karma is a question of timing, ultimate timing. And the question of the timing is the question of the choosing. When you delay your choice to be a conqueror, to cast out fear, you delay the action of the Law in yourself and in all mankind. And you lose ground for yourself and for Terra, and it cannot be regained."

"The representative of the World Mother is in this room, a resplendent being of Light. She has come to place her crown just two inches above your head that you might feel the presence of that crown and make as your goal the winning of the crown of everlasting Life.

"This crown is won by the overcomers. It is your assignment from my heart (for it comes from the heart of God) to be overcomers in the way, to overcome everything that is sent to you. And though the bowling balls keep rolling down the alley toward you, each one is overcome. This is what life expects of you and what you must expect of yourself in life—to overcome all things coming your way from the 360 degrees of the circle of self.

"Then, you see, overcoming Darkness with Light, you shall rise to levels where all that can be sent to you is Light! Light! Light! And immediately you shall direct that Light out again for the piercing of Darkness around those who yet know not the way of the overcomers.

"Be ye overcomers, I say, and be not defeated, neither by the defeatist attitude nor by the negative spirals of anyone or anything. Insulate yourselves from negative media and the constant sounds and images of television that are so damaging to the finer bodies. Force the world to be silent in your home—in your abode where you commune with God. Shut it out except when something important is to be let in."

"Precious souls of flame, you have the friendship of the hierarchies of light. To have a friend at court, at the Court of the Sacred Fire, is greater by far than to have the popularity of the world and the mass consciousness. I say, Laugh at the consciousness and the mockery of popularity—here today and gone tomorrow.

"Mankind is on a treadmill of pleasing the human consciousness. Well, I tell you, I for one know that you can never please the human consciousness, so you might as well cease your struggle and have the consciousness of victory over every aspect of the human. Merge with the God flame and, as Morya says, "Let the chips fall where they may."

"Let the human consciousness become a little disturbed, a little heated in the presence of the flaming ones. Let some have their reactions; they also have their karma and their accountability. It is time, then, that you took your stand for the light and ceased your concern over the opinions and the pining of family, relatives and friends who are pining for you to come home."

"The just judgments come forth from that I AM THAT I AM because it is pure Light. The one in embodiment holding that concept of purity for you, for the earth, for the community—because of that very concept and presence—can take you on the journeys of initiation through the circle of Light, can be the recipient of the transmission of the Light of the Central Sun in the initiations you receive, can give to you the living flame of the altar of God that you absolutely require for your ascension."

"Rai Ernon was one of the Sons of the Solitude. These Sons were celibate, lived without families, often apart from civilization. In exceptional cases, they returned to civilization to serve their fellowman in Church and State. They went through years of training and it was a course of embodiment upon embodiment as they became the unascended and then the ascended adepts.

"Rai Ernon possessed extraordinary powers whereby he could defeat his country’s enemies without having to use weapons. In A Dweller on Two Planets we read an eyewitness account of how Ernon single-handedly conquered an army of 160,000 Chaldeans.

"To me it is one of the most outstanding records in akasha that has thus far come to light that illustrates this power. From it we understand just how profound is the work of the Son of the Solitude, just how lonely that path is and what great power God will entrust to the unascended individual, even to you or to me, if we prove ourselves faithful in all things in the judicious use of God’s power.

"And so, it is recounted with great poignancy by one who was an eyewitness—Lolix, daughter of the chief of the Chaldean army.

"The Chaldean army had invaded Suern, which had no physical defenses. They had taken Suernis as prisoners, torturing and killing some. As the Chaldeans approached the capital city they saw a solitary, unarmed elderly man walking toward them. Lolix relates that 'he was tall, erect as a soldier, and had dignity of mien that made him splendid to look upon.'

"The chief of the Chaldeans said to the old man, 'What saith thy ruler?'

"The man answered, 'He saith: Bid this stranger depart lest my wrath awake, for lo, I shall smite him if he obey me not! Terrible is mine anger.'

"The chief said, 'What ho! And his army, I have seen none.'

"Chief, said the elderly envoy, in a low, earnest tone, 'thou hadst best depart. I am that Rai, and his army also. Leave this land now; soon thou canst not. Go, I implore thee!'

"The chief refused. He vowed to attack the Suerni capital in the morning. Ernon again tried to convince the chief to depart, but he only laughed in scorn.

"Ernon told him, '[Prince,] I am sorrowful! But be it as thou wilt. Thou hast been warned to leave. Thou hast heard of the power of the Suern, and believed not. But now, feel it!'

"Lolix described what happened next: 'With these words the Rai swept his outpointing index finger over the place where stood our pride—the splendid two thousand.' These were leaders of giant stature who had been responsible for torturing and murdering the Suerni citizens. “[The Rai’s] lips moved and I barely heard the low-spoken words: ‘Yeovah, strengthen, my weakness. So dieth stubborn guilt.’

"Lolix continued:

"What then befell so filled all spectators with horror, so wrought upon their superstition, that for full five minutes after, scarce a sound was heard. Of all those veteran warriors not one was left alive. At the gesture of the Suerni their heads fell forward, their grasp was loosed on their spears, and they fell as drunken men to the earth. Not a sound, save that of their precipitation, not a struggle; death had come to them as it comes to those whose hearts stop pulsing . . .

"Ernon [then] bowed his head and prayed . . . 'Lord, do this thing for thy servant, I beseech thee!'

"Lolix went on:

"Then, as I gazed on the victims, I saw them arise one by one, and each gather up his spear and shield and helmet. Thereafter, in little irregular squads they marched towards us, towards me. O! My God! and passed on to the river! As they passed I saw that their eyes were half-closed and glazed in death; the movement of their limbs was mechanical; they walked as if hung on wires, and their armor clanked and clanged in a horrid, mocking ring. As, one by one, the squads came to the river, they walked in, deeper and deeper, till the waters closed over their heads, and they were gone forever, gone to feed the crocodiles which already roared and snarled over their prey adown the stream of Gunja.

"The rest of the army fled in terror. The chief remained captive in Suern and Ernon sent the Chaldean women to Atlantis."

"Inner attainment is not a badge or a visible sign. Nor is it noted by intellectual prowess or emotional bubbling over. It is not easy to tell, one chela to the next, who has the inner light, who has seen his star.

" . . . What I tell you is this: Hearts among you have attainment, other hearts do not. The Law is impartial, plays no favorites; and a Community of the Holy Spirit is made up of individuals responsible unto God. A Community is also a brotherhood and a sisterhood of chelas supporting one another, upholding one another. But this is only until the child may stand on his own two feet. One dare not take the habit of leaning on another's decree momentum or any other momentum, beloved.

" . . . Yes, it is possible to offend the Spirit, but not by the human foibles and mistakes that so many line up according to rules. The Law may overlook much, even when all others point the finger at an individual. But I will tell you what the Law will never overlook.

"It will never overlook the withholding of love from thy brother. It will never overlook an impure heart. The impure heart will not enter in. It will not overlook the Liar and the lie. It will not overlook those who see a brother's need—who see him toiling in the day and the night and then walk away to their own pleasure and conceit.

"The Law will not overlook one who separates himself from a path that is clearly outlined. The Law will not overlook one who elevates himself in spiritual pride and soon falls prey to the psychic. The Law will never overlook one who does not receive any of these little ones as the Christ in arm.

"There are sins that can be brushed aside by the hand of God, and then there are sins that are not forgiven. Some have always wondered, 'What is this sin against the Holy Ghost that is not forgiven until it is forsaken, and in some cases never?'

"Beloved hearts, it is the violation of the flame of Life in any form—failure to feed my sheep when they are hungry and naked and in need, failure to be sensitive to world pain and world need,
taking instead the Teaching exclusively unto one's private life and development."

" . . . the rose is the symbol of the unfolding of the mysteries of God. Your own beloved Saint Germain has used the symbol of the rose and the Rose Cross, for through the rose—as the development of the heart chakra—the cross of sorrow and suffering of Good Friday becomes the resurrection and the life to every Son and Daughter of God. To this end were the mystery schools established, and the mystery schools one and all are founded upon the rock and revelation of Jesus Christ, preserved in code in the Christian Bible.

" . . . Excellence is not necessarily a virtue by which you are born, but it is a virtue by which you are made the fullness of the Light. And therefore the requirement of the hour is the need for the professional Son and Daughter of God who places first and foremost the excellence of the law, the discipline of mind and heart, the ability to be on guard and to be there at the point of contact, the point of precipitation. This excellence is often developed by outer training and outer purpose and education, for it also requires the agility and adeptship with the things that are concrete matter and the things that are in this world.

"But this does not mean that there ought to be the tipping of the scales of reality, the Libra scales of justice whereby the emphasis becomes the mastery of the matter plane for the abandonment of that dexterity of the soul and mind, so necessary to transfer the attainment of the outer into the inner attainment of the City Foursquare."

"For God is no respecter of persons. You need not be a follower of mine or this Messenger or any particular religion but only a devotee of the living flame of God above you and in the Central Sun and in this temple that is vibrant of life, that you call home for this lifetime.

"Beloved ones, devotion to the Law of the One and the one Source makes of all one manifestation of Light. Therefore, we see many sons but one God alone. And in that heartfelt union of the Light there is strength, there is deterrence, there is defense, there is eternal Life, there is the conquering of death in your cells and atoms."

"Often it is the case that when we receive initiations, we tend to forget about them. We may not keep in our date calendar a record of those initiations—and they are ongoing. Every single dictation and every single initiation we have ever received since 1958 is still outplaying itself. If any of you know anything about astrology, there are certain dates that are key in the stars and signs in the heavens. And those dates will ring their reverberations for centuries to come.

"They do not simply occur on the day of a particular aspect in your chart or the chart of a nation, but rather they keep on continuing and the reverberations are like the dropping of the proverbial pebble in the pond, and the rings continue to expand."

"So realize, beloved, that precipitation is based upon exactness. Exactitude is the call of the hour, the sharpening of the mind. You can have all things from God from the Great Central Sun if you will crack the formula. You will never crack it without love and without forgiveness and without the joy of the Lord in doing a service that will render benefits to life rather than glory to your human ego. You can rest assured that when you truly serve to set life free, beloved, God will give you many means to accomplish that end.

"You have heard that Saint Germain has cut off the dispensation of further scientific releases to this planet until the people will cease using them to create war and the engines of war and cease selling or smuggling or giving away those secrets to an enemy that has vowed to destroy this nation under God. Thus, beloved, there is coming upon this earth a time when there shall not be so great an abundance of invention for the very fact that invention by the science of God through Saint Germain must be entrusted [only] to those servant sons and daughters who will see to it that such things are not used for destructive purposes—destructive to human life and to the mind and the soul and the heart.

"Consider the field of genetic engineering, beloved. It went wild and was rampant on Atlantis. Thus Atlantis was destroyed for the very process of genetically engineering crossbreeds between human and animal life. These things are happening today as scientists in their laboratories are again finding ways and means to create the so-called perfect human or animal robot to do their bidding. Blessed hearts, there is a crossing of the line where God says, 'Thus far and no farther!' It has happened before. It will happen again.

"And therefore let me bring to the Karmic Board fruits from among you and all servants of the Light who hear my dictation, fruits that show a diligent effort to apply the laws and science of God and the true doctrine of God to projects and to those [endeavors] that will bring about healing and the betterment of the race. Thus let it be, beloved.

"May you pray diligently [for the protection of your alchemical work] no matter what your field of service. For the opposition to the Truth, to the true knowledge of healing, to the true knowledge of diet, to the true use of genetics, et cetera, is [by the forces of Darkness]. And when those forces are challenged by the Lightbearer who decrees for the true healing methods to come forth, I tell you, all of hell breaks loose; and the attack upon that individual who will raise his head to challenge material science is, and has been, ferocious. And many individuals have been persecuted unto martyrdom because of their efforts to bring about the freedom of the people from those diseases that are rampant, yet for which cures have already been discovered and are being withheld.

"This is why it is important to meet in your groups to exercise the power of the judgment of the Son of God and of the Ruby Ray angels and of Mother Mary, the judgment of those who hold their iron grip on the field of health and healing and wholeness and many other branches of science, beloved, and therefore do not allow those inventions to come forth for the saving of energy [and] for the dispersing of the pollution of the planet.

"All of the inventions of Atlantis, beloved, are the inheritance of the people of this nation, for the United States of America is Atlantis come again. And yet we cannot continue to accelerate their release for the abuses of those sciences in man’s inhumanity to man.

"Take the matter of the pollution of the environment and the pollution of your lungs and of your hearts and even of your souls. These problems can be solved. And yet to guarantee sane and healthful life to the people is [neither the] desire [nor] the priority of the powers that be or of the fallen angels, who are concerned about their own well-being but are not concerned about the masses of the people [though they make pretenses], the people in whom there is truly the flame of God.

"Therefore, beloved, I come to you and I have the sternness in my heart in this hour, even the fierceness, of the Great Mother Kali out of the East. And that fierceness should tell you that I am here to defend you against all enemies of your life, your liberty, your happiness, your freedom of religion, your freedom of speech and your freedom to exercise that science which can bring about a universal spirit of harmony and actually usher in, when joined to true religion, the age of Aquarius as a golden age instead of as a dark age.

"I ask you to understand as never before that each one of you is an instrument in the process of turning this world around and bringing in that golden age. Comparatively few individuals upon this planet will accept and hear the word spoken through this Messenger. Yet all those who have heard, and some who after hearing have departed and not returned, hold promise to be links in the chain of being whereby that burden of the karma delivered by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse can be transmuted and those [negative] momentums turned around.

"Blessed ones, you are a key, you are an absolute key to that balancing of the Light upon earth, to increasing the Light whereby the Light swallows up the Darkness itself. Do not think that you are no one, that you are worthless, that you are a miserable sinner. Do not think that you do not count. Every decree that you utter is taken up by angels and multiplied by the power of the ten thousand-times-ten thousand so that you can act for a million lifestreams upon the planet each time you make your calls.

"This is reality, beloved, this is divine reality and this is physical reality and it can [and does] happen!

"A few saints in past ages have made the difference and you can make the difference [today]. The only problem is that you do not consider yourself worthy of sainthood. I say you are fully worthy because God is in you! And when you deprecate yourself and when you disparage yourself, [making yourself] feel worthless, you are denying the God that is in you. And I say,
shame on you for taking that posture! For God has given to you a great grace and a great ability, and therefore let gratitude and praise abound! And may you take this science of the Word as an empowerment, truly the empowerment, as great as that of any adept that might come to you from the Eastern chambers.

"This very science of the Word itself that is yours by the gift of Saint Germain is an initiation transferred directly and personally to you by the Hierarch of the Age of Aquarius. You should appreciate what it means to have Saint Germain sponsor an entire lifewave to receive the violet flame. It is indeed a cosmic initiation. It must not be taken for granted. It is the elixir of life. It is the universal solvent. It is the key to your victory."

"You must recognize your responsibility in delivering this teaching and [you must] recognize that if you do not understand it clearly and study it well, you may make the karma of sowing seeds of error in the minds of your hearers. And they may not recover from that error and its consequences in this or a number of embodiments, and [your neglect will] lie upon your own record [until the error is corrected in the minds of those you have misled]."

"Thus scandals come and go. But I come to deliver the threatening woes.

"Blessed hearts, those who mount the hillsides in the valleys need no picks or ropes or guide.
But those who must, then, climb Everest and beyond must be surefooted as the Sherpas and the elementals who leap higher and higher. A warning, then, to you who would make the ascent and fulfill it in this life:

"Beloved, you have not protected yourselves from behind, nor have you exercised a co-measurement with the awesomeness of the climb and its dangers.

"Beloved ones, know, then, that at every hand the forces of entrenched materialism and sensuality, the lust for money and the greed to possess souls and light, the earth, the sea and the land—these forces, beloved, pursue your flight to God.

"Defend, then, the position of your attainment.

"Defend the position of those of the highest attainment within the movement and those of the least. For when there is a protection through Community, through Hierarchy of those who must lead to the top and those who must bring up the rear, then there also is a guardian action by and for and of those in the middle who form the vast multitudes who, when seeing the surefootedness of the leader and the footprint, will mount up and will fulfill their courses.

"Thus, beloved, understand even the dangers of being seated in the very front row of our congregation. But, beloved, the Light is infinite. And you who have positioned yourselves the farthest [from the Messenger] as though [in the wide orbit of] the planet Pluto—you also may know that you do not escape my eye nor the intensity of the Light that must be released in this day and in this noonday Light of the Sun behind the sun.

"Therefore I AM come. For I must speak to the gems—the gemstones amongst our disciples: the ruby or pearl, diamond or emerald, amethyst or aquamarine. Let them be known and seen
—these star sapphires, these luminous ones.

"Blessed hearts, all hangs in a delicate balance. But that balance is nowhere more delicate than in the very person of the chela, in the heart and in the mind that would reach out to God and yet has not first gone forth to slay every oppressor of the Buddha where I AM THAT I AM in the heart of the devotee."

"Precious hearts, one with God is, always has been, and always shall be a majority! I say that
any one of you aligned with the Christ can stand against the entire forces of the planetary body. But this means total alignment, total consecration. It means purification. It means a consecration of your bodies and a concentration therein of the very fires of the sun that beat upon you with their rays to accustom you to the heat of the fiery trial and its intensity that you might be purged of all that is less than the Light.

"Do you think that Hierarchy plays games when it initiates you in the trial by fire? I tell you nay! It is for your salvation. It is for your preparation. It is so that you will stand when you are confronted by the Liar and his lies and by all sympathizers with the Liar who desire to be popular and to be thought well of men. I say to you, they shall have their reward! For not one jot or tittle of the Law shall pass till all be fulfilled. And the Lords of Karma, the Keeper of the Scrolls, the angels of record know the hearts of mankind. They know the hearts of every one of you, and they will assist you so long as you are pure in heart.

"No matter how many masses, how many numbers stand behind the beast and his mark, they have no power! No matter that the fourth horseman rides with death this year. It has no power! Therefore, lift up your consciousness."

"Sometimes the very weakness of the flesh, beloved, prevents you from embodying the strength of the Spirit. Therefore, strengthen the physical chalice. Bring it into balance. Receive the offering of nourishment that comes from the Ancient of Days and his Teaching. For the adepts have paved a pathway for the balance of your bodies. And those antichrists come in this hour have infused into civilization the very elements of diet contrived to tear you from the focusing of heart, the balancing of the life-force, and the raising up of the energy [sacred fire] so necessary to win.

"Angels of the Holy Spirit, I, Mary, call to you to comfort life, to reinforce the weary and to give the vision to all, that that which is given gladly this day as service shall be multiplied ten thousandfold. For the need is great, the servers are few."

"Now go be. Go be that God without compromise. Do not be concerned with those who look for flaws, for even the flaws are God's energy. And you may tell those who have perceived a flaw, "By and by I will transmute that flaw, and when I do you will not see me any longer!" For you see, the one who sees the flaw will not see the Christ that you become. Tsk, tsk. What a pity, what a pity."
