Newton's 'Inverse Square Law' holds
that gravity—and many other things
—decreases by the square of the distance from the source.
"The darkest hour precedes the
dawn of victory."—Lanello, July 3, 1976
"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.
Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able
to withstand
in the evil day, and having done all, to stand."—Ephesians
6:12-13
"If you're going through hell,
keep going. Never, never, never give up."
—Winston Churchil
"Success is how high you bounce
when you hit bottom."—George Smith Patton
Courage means coming
of age of the heart—maturing of heart.
"When you're in a hole, stop digging."

"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."

"Pray therefore that ye enter not into
temptation in the final hours of testing and of the battle won.
In those hours, when those denizens of darkness rise to stir the
dust and create the fray, to opaque the vow, to ride in upon the
delicate threads of your consciousness, remember the vow that
was made in the beginning before the world was of the fulfillment
of the Divinity of God in the humanity of man. Remember that you
came forth with great courage, great determination, saying to
the Lord of Hosts: 'Yea, Lord, I will go! Send me also; send me
in the name of the risen Christ.' And the Lord answered and said:
'As thou wilt. So go forth, sons and daughters, sons and daughters
of dominion. Go forth to challenge the night, the darkness, the
discord, and the fray.'
"I seal within your hearts this day the
divine memory of the divine vow. I seal it there so that at the
hour of the final testing, of the battle won, the divine memory
shall appear as a giant screen of Light to play again before your
eyes that scene where you stood before the Most High God.
"The courage of action, the courage to
do battle when all the world is set against thee, must be evoked
from the very heart of hearts. And prayer without ceasing must
accompany the devotee who would win over the human consciousness
with all of its deception, with all of its illusion, with all
of its attempts to preserve itself against the day of the appearance
of the Christ. For in the hour of the Second Coming as the thief
that cometh in the night, the human consciousness is dissipated;
it is scattered; it is no more. That very human consciousness
anticipates the coming of the great Light of the Son of God; and
so it attempts by devious methods and means, by all sorts of ruses
and insanities, to preserve that last straw of identity.
"Quicken the heart, quicken the mind, and
quicken the determination, beloved ones, to slay the last foe!
For the hour is indeed five minutes before twelve. It is the hour
when the tail of the great dragon Tiamat swings as a backlash
against the sons and daughters of God and against the holy innocents.
It is the hour of victory for those who are ready to draw forth
the Light and challenge the tail of the great dragon-the challenge
of the misuse of the Sacred Fire and the tail of man's own carnality.
"Do you not perceive, precious hearts,
the warning that was given to you in the thoughtform for the year?
Do you not realize that this is the year of the supreme effort
of the darkness to retaliate, to take its revenge upon the Divine
Woman and Her Seed? Do you not realize then that the defense of
the Mother Flame and of the Divine Manchild appearing in all humanity
is the supreme watch of the hour? This is the watch of Christ.
'Could ye not watch with me one hour?'
"And as we are in now the final quadrant
of the year, will you summon the vision of the All-Seeing Eye
of God to clear the pathway before you unto the victory over all
manifestations in the physical plane that are less than the perfection
of Almighty God? This is the supreme moment of opportunity to
challenge all spirals and cycles initiated by yourselves and by
mankind in the first three quadrants in the year. There is still
time, still opportunity, to say to that proud wave, 'Thus far
and no farther. Halt! I challenge you in the name of the living
God.'
"You see, until the spiral becomes physical,
it can be reversed. That is why Jesus said to Judas, 'That which
thou doest, do quickly.' For until the malice becomes tangible
as the physical action, the karmic recompense cannot be meted
out and the return cycles begin and a new day then commence. And
so you see, all that has begun at the etheric level of the memory,
at the mental plane of thought, at the feeling place of desire-all
this can yet be reversed if you challenge it ere it becomes physical.
I say then, it is your moment of triumph or your moment of submission.
In the name of Almighty God you have the authority in the name
of Jesus the Christ to challenge every cycle of negation, every
spiral of darkness that is released against you like a boomerang,
like a tail of a serpent, like the forces of the night.
"This is your hour of victory, blessed
hearts. And I have come this morning to tell you that there are
indeed many cycles that must be challenged by you if the earth
is to come to the place on New Year's Eve that it can receive
the opportunities and the benedictions that are contemplated by
the Lords of Karma. Thus you might say it is an act of divine
mercy in advance that I have been permitted to come before you
this day to tell you that there are few upon the planetary body
who understand the laws of God as you do, who understand the authority
of the Sons and Daughters of Dominion, who call in the name of
Jesus the Christ for the victory."

"Therefore, we admonish you to realize
that when you come to a station of the cross—or, in this
case, to a line on the cosmic clock of one of the initiations
of the path of the bodhisattva—and it is tough and it is
difficult and it is demanding, realize that you are scaling a
wall of light and you are scaling a wall of darkness, and you
are there facing and encountering that initiation which must be
passed. Before you is the Light; behind you is the enemy—and
therefore, you must keep moving toward the Source.
" . . . Therefore, you understand,
beloved hearts, the nature of the return of the Dark Cycle in
Aries. The return of that karma, beloved ones, involves every
conspiracy of the luciferian ones against this earth and all others.
You can understand that Aries is the line of God-identity, the
point of affirmation —'I AM THAT I AM'—which each
and every one of you ought to make in this very moment to quiver
the ethers with your God-Realization!"

"If you have not dealt with the known momentums of maya of
self and planet, why, then, should we open the curtain to the
unknown horror of Death and Hell? This is an initiation that has
been given from time to time by the Lord Jesus to the saints.
Suffice it to say, beloved ones, that those who somehow in their
busyness, in their day's occupations, can set aside present opportunities
by a certain nebulous consciousness and absence of focalization,
shall we say, and can somehow say, 'Well, if I do not ascend in
this life, I will ascend in the next—blessed ones, realize
what a bold statement this is!
". . . Blessed ones, you have heard it said
that at the point of the balance of 51 percent of your karma there
is the opportunity for the ascension. And you have heard it said
that the reason this is decreed by the Lords of Karma—that
you may balance the remaining 49 percent from the ascended state
—is that following the balancing of the 51 percent
there is the initiation of the soul's descent into Death and Hell
and to the astral plane. And few have returned from that descent.
So alarming was this condition, especially in the Western world,
to the Lords of Karma that this dispensation was proposed and
granted by the Cosmic Council.
"Beloved hearts, strange as it may seem,
for the chelas of the will of God it is not so difficult to reach
the point of the 51-percent balance, given that this is a son
or daughter of God who has diligently striven lifetime after lifetime.
Thus, it is important to be conscious when one is beyond that
mark. For there are some who in descending into the astral plane
to take those initiations beyond that point have in fact succumbed
to a suicide of a spiritual magnitude or taken the left-handed
path.
"How can this be? It is because of the strong
delusion of Hell itself and all of its hordes that play upon and
prey upon the untransmuted substance and the bedrock of the dweller
on the threshold that does not easily give way to the sweeping
winds of the Holy Spirit that have blown away the lesser debris.
One cannot emphasize enough to one's chelas the intensity of this
delusion nor the difficulty of the choices of right and wrong,
for they seem to converge at a razor's edge where the wrong answer
seems right and the right seems wrong or both seem correct.
"Blessed ones, happy is the man who arrives
at that point of the balance of karma who has also diligently
pursued self-mastery. You have heard it said that to balance karma
does not necessarily make for attainment. At a certain point this
is not true but at early stages you may literally have so much
devotion to the violet flame and service that you may balance
karma without attention to the detail of an accompanying self-mastery—a
governing of those conditions which are easy to overlook, especially
when there is not a Messenger or the Guru present to point them
out to you.
"So, beloved, pray for vision, for enlightenment,
for purity of heart; for nothing can be hidden or withheld from
the pure in heart. Contemplate, then, the mystery of purity of
heart—guilelessness, a spontaneous
championing of the true cause of all of one's fellows. Blessed
ones, purity of heart is much, much more than form or mores. It
is profound indeed.
"Let none construe any of my words as license
to set aside the letter of the Law. For the spirit does not replace
the letter but it accompanies it, as they go hand in hand. But
let all construe from my words that the letter of the Law will
never suffice for the entering in. For this entering is achieved
by a grid which is filled with Light [emanating from your Christ
consciousness] by you through the living Spirit of the Law."
|
|
"Blessed ones, that dark night of the descent of karma must
come, for if it come not you cannot endure nor the Light [of the
Universal Christ consciousness] nor the Dark Night of the Spirit,
[i.e., the absence of the Light], that shall come upon this planet
ere the New Day shall appear.
"And for the record, may you understand
that the dark night of the soul is the period when the soul does
groan in travail with her own karma, and it is meet. And in that
hour you have reinforcement of angels and saints, myself and Ascended
Masters and Cosmic Beings. It is an hour when you keep tethered
to the Law; and if you do, beloved, you may be saved by the very
Law that does demand [that] you right all wrong against that Law.
"Thus, beloved, this path is known, the
path of karma balanced by fervent hearts who have willed, who
have determined to slay inordinate desire. For by this and this
alone shall you suffer calamity.
"Thus, beloved, take to heart the teachings
of the Buddha, of Maitreya. And let all of thy desiring be this:
to pass beyond those karmic conditions which at any moment by
the condition of planetary, solar and galactic karma could sweep
you from the very center of your First and Best Love.
"So having passed this dark night of the soul, as ye all
have observed the Messenger pass through in the long years of
this service, so you come to the hour when you must have internalized
that Christ and you must be able to sustain that momentum of Christhood.
[This initiation of the Cosmic Christ is called the Dark Night
of the Spirit.] And this is the eclipse of the Sun of the I AM
Presence. And it does come about, beloved, precisely under the
conditions in which you find yourselves upon this planet: the
astral sea rising, the outpouring [from the pit that is opened]
and the spewing of the astral consciousness, and you here below
in physical embodiment.
"And therefore, the astral plane does present
that separation between the externalized self-mastery and the
I AM Presence. And if there be no self-mastery for want of love
of Christ and of me, your own Beloved, then in the Dark Night
of the Spirit, beloved, you are cut off and it is the dark night
when none may extend that hand, for your opportunity has been
given to manifest a Light that never shone on land or sea.
"Thus understand, beloved, work while ye
have the Light. Work on your karma! Work on your zeal! Be not
satisfied with your mediocrity! Work while you have a physical
hand extended to you and know that that hand is the best hand
we can offer you. And therefore, by that sustaining Love you may
receive that imparting and that reigniting of the Word.
"And there be some among you—and
do not say, 'Is it I, Lord?'—who
have scarcely a divine spark to sustain you. And yet you walk
as the proud, as though by some prior heredity you are a favorite
son, with no sense of co-measurement of the dire need of the soul
to magnify the Lord, [the Mighty I AM Presence, in your members]
as Mother, as Trinity in the heart—to
expand and fan that fire by Love and Service, looking neither
to the right nor to the left but giving and giving. For the Lord,
the Holy Spirit, does attend you, even your beloved Maha Chohan,
to breathe upon you again the breath of life, to fan that divine
spark that it burst into a Threefold Flame once again.
"Blessed ones, we speak not to cause you
pain, but pain you shall have if you are not awakened! It is not
the hours of service that I speak of, but the quality of heart
and what does occupy the mind, what does occupy the feeling world,
what are the true desires that compel you to lesser stars and
to cast your anchor into the astral sea instead of into the infinite
to catch a star of God’s own destiny.
"Therefore, I, Jesus, have done what I could
do in the ultimate sense of my imploring, for it is to the Lightbearers,
every one upon this planet, that I come this day. I come in a
Divine Visitation and as I implore you, my Electronic Presence
is before each and every one who does bear Light, who is of Alpha’s
seed, who does have a Threefold Flame, or once had it and allowed
it to go out by neglect.
"I stand before each and every one whose
names have been read by the Keeper of the Scrolls there in the
great throne room before me and before Alpha and Omega. And in
answer to my imploring, beloved, so our Father, our Mother have
sent me to you and to those upon this planet to whom the agenda
of Alpha is open and all who have recourse to the Central Sun
through the blessed heart of Mary, my Mother, through the heart
of Kuan Yin, through the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood.
And I trust they also have recourse to that heart through your
own blessed heart expanded as a living fire.
"Thus, observe the hierarchies of the weeks
and understand the meaning of the seventy weeks as seventy hierarchies
of the Sun extended from the Central Sun through time and space.
Thus, they define the cycles and the cycles of initiation. Thus,
they deliver to the Lightbearers the test of the ten in the seven
outer rays of manifestation.
"Seventy weeks, therefore, unto each Lightbearer
is given. And what is the length of time and space? No man knoweth,
for the cycles are shortened for those who elect to embrace them
and they are lengthened unto the agony not of the true cross of
Light but of the false cross of the false crucifixion of the false
Christ who is Antichrist.
"Therefore, by inordinate desire you may
be impaled on a cross with Antichrist—but
I shall not be there. And by right desire and right reckoning
of the cycles you may pass every test as though in microseconds.
There is no limit to God-realization except to those who yet insist
upon defining [and confining] self by laws of mortality.
"Thus, take the seventy weeks and see that
you waste not time or space or energy. I tell you, so great is
the opportunity that there is not one among the body of Lightbearers—and
I count you in that body, that Mystical Body of God on planet
earth—no matter what age, who
could not, if he would, fulfill the mandate and the requirement
of the ascension in this life.
"But, beloved, the extraordinary outreaching
of the soul and the heart is something that many among you have
not known or understood. And those who take their backward steps
away from the Flame of the ark of the covenant blazing upon this
altar, those who pursue the steps of Jungian psychology or any
other means as a substitute for the living fire of Christ and
my Sacred Heart, I say to you, They shall not prevail! They shall
not prevail. And they are the rebellious ones and clouds without
water who have forsaken the divine spark and will not bend the
knee to receive another [divine spark], which I should gladly
give by a simple demonstration of a measure of the ritual of devotion.
"There be some among you who since your
entering this path have indeed kindled a divine spark when you
had it not. All things are possible. But when you hear of the
possibility of failure, you sink back into that sense of failure
instead of realizing that the possibility of Victory is present
whenever
it is possible to fail.
"Why, then, enter the negative assessment
of oneself? Why not perceive with the inner sight? Why do you
see with a flesh-and-blood consciousness and therefore curse yourself
to that consciousness ad infinitum?
"Let the holy ones of God truly be more
holy. For those who do have that flame must make more rather than
less effort until the Light so shine in you that your eyes are
as stars and your aura so powerful that none can deny that truly
a path of Christhood is won; and therefore the lesser endowed
take hope to follow in your footsteps.
"Cast down the idols of your flesh-and-blood
consciousness, for those whom you worship are not
the living Christ. Blessed ones, worship not but adore the Light.
Adore the Light and do not set on a pedestal any human being.
Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures. Ye do err, sustaining the
idolatry of self.
"I come for the breaking of the pitchers.
I come for the breaking of the vessels that no longer serve you.
I raise my staff and I say, let them be broken by the rod of fire!
I, Jesus, decree it that you might come forth and stand God-free
sons and daughters.
"Blessed ones, be pillars of fire in the
earth! Be pillars of fire in the earth, beloved, and heed the
Call! Heed the Call of Light. Do not decide why you cannot be
at Glastonbury in preference to anywhere else but decide how you
can be there. Decide, beloved, that Community is your protection.
"I AM walking through that land this day.
For I would exorcise from it the demons that some of you have
brought with you in your argumentation and your folly and your
blindedness by energies that never ever should have passed through
you. Let my rod through my Messenger disperse, then, all injustice,
all that is dishonest, all that is unfair. Be willing to admit
where you have wronged another. Settle your accounts. Do not defend
your person but be true to me.
"I, Jesus, speak to you and you know of
whom and whereof I speak. And therefore, there are some who should
be ashamed to stand in my Presence and there are others who have
kept the Flame as saints of God.
"Thus, I call you to the House of the Lord
[your Mighty I AM Presence]. May you know now that Communion of
my heart. May you know it, beloved.
"This is, then, the last I may offer to
you of the series of dictations begun in the hour of the Call
to the ascension. Thus, beloved, when the response is full, even
full to that which I bring this day, I shall once again implore
Alpha and Omega to assist you through the journey ahead and every
step of the way.
"Keep my Flame in this Community, beloved,
for I have given more of myself than you will ever know to the
very presence of my Church in this place. And it shall not be
bestowed upon me that I may start anew or begin again. With Almighty
God [and] all saints of heaven who have gone before you, I say:
in this Community we must not fail.
"Let there be not fragmentation or division,
but know that your loyalty is to the Flame that burns upon the
altar because the Lord God has sent to you a Messenger who is
able, by his grace, to keep that Flame. And as you sustain your
devotions the Flame is kept in this octave. It is a Light unto
the world, beloved, and that sacred fire is your salvation in
this octave.
"Now let the forces of Death and Hell rage
if they will, for I shall be midst my own. And let the Love bond
of Gautama Buddha allow all to prefer one another and this holy
Community before all other passions, disputes, all other claims
of Darkness, all other false prophets who say, 'Go here and there,
for the Messenger is no longer in her temple.' I tell you, beloved,
all of these most frightening claims and allegations may come,
but let the true disciples of my heart who are the witnesses from
the beginning unto the end of their own salvation by the grace
of this dispensation keep the Flame of the ark of the covenant
blazing upon this altar!
"So I shall bear you witness. So I shall
bear you witness: call unto me. And all who have asked for direct
chastisement or initiation or soul-testing or rebuke from the
Messenger, I, Jesus, will come to you. Listen for my footstep.
Know my voice and know that I shall surely make known to you those
conditions of consciousness or action, those desires or projects
or goals which are truly not an acceptable offering to the Holy
One of God, your I AM Presence."

"The inner levels of the astral plane of this earth are not
shown to you that you might retain hope for today and tomorrow,
that your vision of the heaven-world might dominate your horizon,
that you
might keep before you your goal of balancing 51 percent of your
karma. When you reach that goal, beloved—and,
oh, what a day of rejoicing it will be!—you
also reach the place where you have a number of choices.
"First of all, you have the choice whether
or not to embody the Light of the living Christ. If you choose
not to embody the Light of the living Christ but to use the Light
you have for selfish gain, then you will have entered the left-handed
path and your initiators will be not the Ascended Masters but
the fallen angels. This path leads to the vainglory of the world
and the ultimate undoing of the soul.
"If you choose to embody the Light of the
living Christ to the glory of God and not to the vainglory of
the human ego, your initiators will be the Lord Jesus Christ and
the Lord Maitreya with the participation of many other saints
and Ascended Masters along the way. To move forward, then, on
the path of your soul’s union with God, which requires your
balancing the remaining 49 percent of your karma, is your next
goal on the passage through earth.
"However, you may forgo balancing the full
100 percent on earth and take your ascension at the time of transition
(i.e., the death of the physical body). Whatever percentage of
karma you will have balanced at the hour you depart this world
will be the measure of your victory. But know this: You will be
required to balance the remainder of your karma from the ascended
state and this karma will tie you to earth until you have completed
the 100 percent.
"Some will ask, 'How could I as an Ascended
Master balance karma from the ascended state?' The answer is that
you as an Ascended Master could, for example, sponsor uplift movements
through receptive souls in embodiment. You could inspire inventions
that benefit society and tutor exceptional lifestreams in demonstrating
the practical religion of the Sacred Heart. You could also intercede
on behalf of those who had erred against society, that they might
have the opportunity to make good.
"When you choose the high road of balancing
100 percent of your karma on earth, you must reckon with the aggressive
challenges of the fallen angels who will seek to tear from you
the self-mastery you gain with each new level of attainment. Knowing
you will be challenged, you ought to put yourself in the mode
of being in training to become Olympic champions, spiritually
speaking. As you become the fullness of your Christhood day by
day and as your soul enters in to the configuration, the very
likeness, of the Lamb of God, set your mind in the mode of confronting
the challengers to your sport on the lists of the spiritual path
itself.
"So you must put yourself in training and
stay in training to be a champion son or daughter of God with
a will to vanquish every challenger to your Christhood. You must
increase your determination and your will to attain the mark of
the high calling in Christ. You must seek empowerment from the
source of empowerment, your own Holy Christ Self. Your life, then,
will become a competition in the highest sport of all.
"Who will win? You or your challenger? Or
will you not even try but let down your guard and say, 'It’s
not worth it anymore—it’s
simply not worth it'?
"How many times have we heard some discouraged
one say, 'It’s not worth it'? What is not worth it? Your
Christhood? Is that what you are speaking of—the
inconveniences of life and the Path that do not begin and end
at the Royal Teton Ranch but continue round the world and round
the world and round again?
"Is it worth it or is it not, beloved, to
become a God-free being and to do what it takes to get there?
Is it worth it or is it not to receive a spanking today from Astrea
and Purity? I direct this question to the spoiled children and
the spoiled adults who have been spoiled by their parents and
are now themselves petulant children complaining that the Path
is too hard.
"Well, you might as well face the reality:
the Path is hard and it will get harder and harder, eliminating
those who have no nerve for the fight, no love for the outcome,
no concern for those who suffer and might be healed if they would
only make some sacrifice to put on the mantle of their Christhood.
"Blessed ones, this is an indulgent civilization!
And we see that even where parents have not indulged their children,
their children have definitely managed to indulge themselves!
Now their children are forty and fifty and sixty and seventy years
old, and yet they say, 'It is too hard!' and they desire to continue
the merry-go-round of self-indulgences.
". . . You see, you either arrive at Golgotha, 'the place
of the skull,' by the power of your individual Christhood, prepared
for the initiation of the crucifixion, and you have your victory
with your Lord on the cross, or you arrive without having attained
your Christhood, wherefore though you are crucified and you go
through the torment and the torture of the damned, you do not
have your victory in this initiation. This was often the case
in the days of Rome, when crucifixion was common as a means of
capital punishment.
"And so what of that crucifixion which you
witness today, such as in Bosnia-Herzegovina or in the horrible
deaths that millions of people are going through? What is taking
place? Well, if we consider the fate of the blessed who are not
yet ready for the triumph over the Not-Self but have heaped up
a mountain of good works, the record will tell that they have
accomplished the balancing of much karma, much karma indeed, by
their suffering on the cross—and
that for a purpose: 'that they might obtain a better resurrection,'
as it is written.
"However, in the case of those who have
not raised up the sacred fire of Jesus Christ in the temple of
being through purity and good works, the dweller-on-the-threshold
is in command. For they have not even tackled that dweller but
have preferred to dance with it, to play ring-around-the-rosy
with it, to be entertained for a time by their own macho alter
ego, ultimately to be gobbled up by that very dweller."

"When recently at the retreat on the etheric plane at Fátima
your Messengers knelt before Mary and Raphael to give their Christhood
to a world, they did demonstrate to you the eternal Joy, the eternal
Freedom and the great abundant Light descending [which one experiences]
when one can truly understand the mystery of committing one’s
attainment to the liberation of other souls.
"But how is this Christhood given, beloved?
How does one give one’s higher attainment that others might
have the strengthening of that Light to arrive at the gate of
victory in this life?
"It is given, beloved, by the very same
process [that the Son of God did give his Light]—increment
by increment. Did not Jesus, then, give his Body and his Blood,
deposited in the bread and the wine, and say, 'This do in remembrance
of me'? Is this Holy Communion not the passing of the Light of
Alpha and Omega [of one’s Christhood] to every soul—portion
by portion, week after week for a lifetime?
"Thus it is so that the sacred fire as the
nectar of the Buddha of the crown chakra must be taken in minute
doses; for truly it does recharge and accelerate body and mind
and soul, and this requires assimilation by word and work. Know,
then, O beloved, that day by day that transfer of Light is given,
not all at once. It is an impossibility, for the Light itself
should consume that which does not have the vessel to receive
it [until the Light itself create the vessel by the soul’s
assimilation of it, day by day.]
"These are things that the Great Law has
taught you and spoken in your heart. These are things which our
Father has determined that you need to be reminded of, that you
slacken not your pace but make haste and that you find the wherewithal
to do this by Love—by the Love
of the Ruby Ray that is the Blood of the Universal Christ. By
that Love you are able to open your being. And thus, by sacrifice
you come to the realization that a sacrifice is never a self-denial
except [it be] the denial of the unreal self and its unreal desires.
But the white light of the Divine Mother is truly the fulfillment
[of all desire] when all other vibrations are stopped; and they
[can and do] cease by the devotion and the will of the devotee.
"Thus, trailing the Ruby Ray devotion of
your hearts does come the white light of ascension’s currents.
May you value the gift and value the instrument whereby such a
Light might be stepped down and distributed, for without a physical
mouthpiece and the delivery of the power of the Word this dispensation
could not reach those who deserve it directly. Such is the nature
of Hierarchy and the spoken Word, beloved. And though you may
not understand this, believe me when I say to you that heaven
must have instruments on earth as well as the [instrumentation
of the] heavenly hosts.
"Now we bid you, be the instruments of the
cup of the water of Life, even of the ascension current. As you
become that vessel, so you may become one day the transmitter
also of that Light.
"In this hour you must garner and steel
what you have received. For if you lose this Light, it shall not
be returned to you, and by cosmic law you may also lose the opportunity
to be initiated in this manner by the presence of seraphim. Therefore
it is an initiation that comes following the dictation of the
Maha Chohan in this city. For, beloved, those who are of the Light
have the spiritual inheritance of receiving that Light from God
by the hand of seraphim through the step-down transformer in the
very aura of the Messenger which we have placed there long ago.
"I, Justinius, salute you each one. I bow
to the Light in each one. Whether it be a flicker of Light or
a veritable conflagration, I bow to the Light as a single-drop
candle flame. For I AM the instrument of God, and the Light I
command, the Light I serve. I serve those who serve the Light.
It is my commission, my identity and my office.
"Untold millions of seraphim are in my command,
beloved. May you value their friendship forever and take heed
that you compromise not the highest quality of pure Love and thereby
place a barrier between yourself and their [Love] and thus not
know the fullness of their cup of joy.
"The seraphim, beloved, are fiery beings
who form concentric rings round the Central Sun and the Court
of the Sacred Fire, and upon their rounds they do absorb that
light and fire and they come truly trailing clouds of glory, processioning
down the highways of cosmos in the visitation of the planetary
homes to serve the sons of God, lo, the Christed ones.
"Now for the duration of my speaking they
have approached gently and softly that you might become accustomed
to the stepping up of their vibration. Duly prepared, then, you
are about to receive that transfer of Light. I instruct you to
breathe in deeply and out again. [inhalation and exhalation]
"Visualize now the seven centers of your
being as being beacon lights of the white light going forth, passing
through this entire county and area of this state. Thus, already
as you release your own Light for the blessing and the holding
of the balance of this area, the seraphim begin to replenish that
Light with that which is of the quality of the Great Central Sun.
It is indeed a transfusion.
"Our Body is Omega, our Blood is Alpha.
Thus, as the blood is infused with the Light of Alpha, it does
have a quickening and purifying effect. As the body is infused
with the Light of Omega, that Light is for the building, strengthening
and acceleration of the form.
"Now, beloved, cooperate as you have been
taught:
"Be self-emptied. Be purged. Be infilled.
Be healed.
"As you practice scientifically the path
of right diet, right livelihood and occupation, right mindfulness
and a spiritually exalted state, you will know day by day the
meaning of the fire of the heart and how that Sacred Heart of
Jesus, that Immaculate Heart of Mary might be in you the burning
desire—the burning desire to
ignite every soul whom you meet with your love of Christ, of the
Divine Mother, of the Holy Spirit, with your love of the Father.
"For in that burning Love is the key: the
key to the saturation of Light! Seek it all thy days. Win thy
crown!
"I, Justinius, have spoken to your hearts.
May you soon return to the heart of God in character and virtue
and deeds of Love."

"Yes, beloved, loving the will of God and his law, which
is truly the law of profound love and wisdom, you shall then take
heart-take courage to take on the path of the dark night of the
soul and the Dark Night of the Spirit. And you will become such
a whirling sacred fire of diamond light as my Diamond Heart is
superimposed upon you that you will literally charge through that
dark night of the soul and charge through the initiations of the
Dark Night of the Spirit!
"You will not languish. You will not attenuate
this suffering through your karma. Nor will you suffer,
for you will have that mighty sword in hand and you will slay
every foe and you will beam such a concentrated, God-controlled
ray of the Seventh Ray of the violet flame through that third-eye
chakra that you will see the parting of the Red Sea of your own
returning karma, the parting of the Red Sea of the fallen ones!
And you will march through triumphant! And you will be riding
your steed and it will not be riding you. And I say it is true
and you must do it! You must accelerate, for acceleration is the
key!
"Go through it. Get it over with. Become
the master of your life. Come to that place where I may speak
through you, where I may dwell in you, where I may deliver the
momentums of the highest levels of the etheric octaves through
you. And therefore we together, Guru and chela one together, may
pass through this earth and leave the foundations for our children
and our children's children
that they might build that golden-age civilization.
"Are you with me, beloved? ['Yes!' (24-second
standing ovation)]
"I say, then, beware the poisons. Beware
the poisons and embrace the antidotes of the Dhyani Buddhas. Embrace
the antidotes, beloved ones, for the poisons come and they poison
the mind
and they poison every organ of the body. They poison the desires
and the thoughts and the feelings."

" . . . Understand also that John the Beloved wrote down
a dictation from Jesus Christ. It is in your hands: it is the
Book of Revelation. And your Messenger has given you her interpretations
of the verses on many occasions.
"You ought to review these interpretations.
You ought to understand that the reason our Lord dictated that
text to John is because it holds the keys to what you ought to
be decreeing about in these last days of the Piscean age. It is
also a book of psychology in that the verses, as they are charted
on the Cosmic Clock by the Messenger, give you an understanding
of your individual initiations and what you as a citizen of earth
must face on a day-to-day basis.
"Many of the beasts and untoward manifestations
identified in Revelation are in your own electronic belt, in your
own unconscious, and you must consume them by the sacred fire.
Know ye not that you can consume much misqualified energy in your
electronic belt simply by raising the sacred fire of the base
chakra of the Divine Mother and holding that sacred fire sure
and fast at the point of the crown chakra and the third-eye center?
"Yes, beloved. The sacred fire that you
sustain on the spinal altar becomes the all-consuming fire for
the transmutation of the records of your karma and of the beasts
that lodge on your Cosmic Clock
as diagrammed on the 'kettledrum.'
"Clean out, clean out, clean out the stables,
beloved! You have the power to do this. Conserve the sacred fire.
Keep your beings in a yang state, slightly more yang than yin.
Partake sparingly, or not at all, of those heavy meats that cause
acidity and even the dulling of the brain. And know that in due
course you shall experience the opening of the third eye. And
what will accelerate this will be our Messenger leading you in
giving the All-Seeing Eye decrees that you might receive from
me through her a tremendous impetus on the Fifth Ray.
"I desire to see you work on clear seeing,
beloved, because some of you do not have the gift of discernment
of spirits and that is why you go here and there thinking that
something is spiritual when it is psychic or thinking that something
is psychic when it is spiritual.
"You must seek and find from the Holy Spirit
the gift of discernment of spirits, for there are many who would
enter your precincts and lure you away from your place at the
altar. As scripture records, there are men who have a form of
godliness but deny the power thereof and 'creep into houses and
lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers
lusts, ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of
the truth.' Yes, the soul can become silly and be taken this way
and that way because she does not have spiritual discernment.
"So, when you come to the end of this century
and the end of the age of Pisces, you must have, above all, the
gift of discernment of spirits so that on a daily basis you are
able to interpret right from wrong, truth from error, the Real
from the Unreal. As you mount the spiral that is coiled about
the spinal altar, you discover that it is very difficult to distinguish
the Real from the Unreal, so close is the counterfeit to the Real.
It is your I AM Presence and your Holy Christ Self who will give
you this understanding, this clear seeing through the Holy Spirit.
"I ask you, then, to wear blinders no more
but to tear from your eyes the scales that have prevented you
from clear seeing. Do this with the sacred fire and the violet
flame. Do this diligently, beloved. For you cannot be on the Path
and have advanced teachings and then suddenly not know who is
Real and who is not Real.
"I urge you to close ranks, to come together,
to take advantage of the early morning hours to do your decree
work. In those hours the angels traverse the earth, clearing the
pathways of the heavens for the new day. When you say your prayers
early in the morning, before those in your time zone are even
awake and not yet polluting the atmosphere with their consciousness,
you can have direct contact with the angels. For thousands of
years monks and nuns in their monasteries have prayed at the five
o’clock hour. As you know, it is the hour of El Morya, your
Guru."

" . . . Therefore, beloved, I give you the gift of my heart
of a new perception of your God-reality and a new perception of
the synthetic self, that you may see what is dispensable and what
is indispensable in your divine/human personality, both of which
must be kept until the coil reaches the point of the highest niche
in the pyramid of life."
