"We take the stars from heaven, the red from our mother country,
separating it by white stripes, thus showing that we have separated
from her,
and the white stripes shall go down to posterity representing
liberty."
—President G. Washington, June 14, 1777
"I want the people of all the earth to see in the American
flag
the symbol of a Government which intends no oppression at home
and no aggression abroad, which in the spirit of a common brotherhood
provides assistance in time of distress." —President
Calvin Coolidge
"This flag, which we honor and under which we serve, is the
emblem of our unity,
our power, our thought and purpose as a nation.
It has no other character than that which we give it from generation
to generation . . .
Though silent, it speaks to us —speaks
to us of the past, of the men and women
who went before us, and of the records they wrote upon it."
—President Woodrow Wilson, May 30, 1916
"A well regulated Militia being
necessary to the security of a free State,
the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."
—Second Amendment, United States Constitution
"It was leadership here at home that gave us strong American
influence abroad,
and the collapse of imperial Communism. Great nations have responsibilities
to lead,
and we should always be cautious of those who would lower our
profile,
because they might just wind up lowering our flag." —Ronald
Reagan
Our Flag is a beacon for liberty, a symbol of hope for all people
who "hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are
created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable
Rights,
that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among
Men,
deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed
—that whenever any Form
of Government becomes destructive
of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish
it . . . " |
"It is the soldier,
not the reporter,
Who has given us freedom of the press.
"It is the soldier, not the
poet,
Who has given us freedom of speech.
"It is the soldier, not the
campus organizer,
Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
"It is the soldier,
who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag."

"The inner significance of the stars and stripes—alternating
stripes of Alpha and Omega, waves of energy that precipitate from
out the Great Central Sun, . . . anchored in the hearts of millions
of people by . . . the flow of the energies of the Elohim and the
solar hierarchies. Wherever there is tyranny exercised over the
people, there is a blocking of the flow and the people are severed
from the stripes of cosmic consciousness. And what of the stars
of cosmic consciousness?
"'Five-pointed stars marking . . . the initiation to enter
the white-fire core of being. If a planet and a people does not
qualify for that initiation, then it cannot go within to release
the energies of the Christ that are for the liberation of the lifewave.'
Arcturus and Victoria went on to explain that the stripes are symbolic
'of the original thirteen, of Christ and his apostles, . . . thirteen
states of consciousness ratifying discipleship.'
"There are twelve Elohim, 'seven in outer manifestation, five
in the white-fire core of the Great Central Sun.' These mighty beings
send forth 'the momentum of the twelve aspects of God-mastery that
must be forged and won in America.' In the center of the mandala
of the twelve Elohim is the Cosmic Christ, Lord Maitreya. In those
'who will make any and every sacrifice for freedom,' the Elohim
'will anchor the stars and stripes of our cosmic consciousness'
and 'in these Lord Maitreya will anchor the flame of initiation
and to these the Mother will come to minister unto their souls in
the hour of the victory.'"

On June 14, 1777, the Marine Committee of the Continental Congress
adopted a resolution, which gave birth to our National Flag. The
resolution read: "Resolved that the Flag of the United States
be made of 13 stripes, alternate red and white, that the union
be 13 stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation."
On May 30, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson announced
during his Memorial Day address, that June 14th of each year would
be celebrated as Flag Day. "This flag, which we honor and
under which we serve, is the emblem of our unity, our power, our
thought and purpose as a nation. It has no other character than
that which we give it from generation to generation . . . Though
silent, it speaks to us—speaks to us of the past, of the
men and women who went before us, and of the records they wrote
upon it."
Today, our Flag is a beacon for liberty, a symbol
of hope for all people who "hold these truths to be self-evident,
that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these
rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just
powers from the consent of the governed—that whenever any
Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the
Right of the People to alter or to abolish it . . . "
Our flag flies over a national government, which,
at its foundation, was predicated on the premise that it be concerned
with what can be done FOR its citizens, not on what can be done
to its citizens.

"Keepers of the Flame unascended, you have a mighty work
to accomplish for the Lord God of hosts. He is counting on you
for the flow of the energy, the stripes of cosmic consciousness,
alternating stripes of Alpha and Omega—waves
of energy that precipitate from out the Great Central Sun that
are intended to be anchored in the hearts of millions of people
by an action of a cosmic maypole, where the flow of these ribbons
of light is the flow of the energies of the Elohim and the solar
hierarchies. Wherever there is tyranny exercised over the people,
there is a blocking of the flow and the people are severed from
the stripes of cosmic consciousness.
"And what of the stars of cosmic consciousness,
five-pointed stars marking initiation? It is the initiation to
enter the white-fire core of being. If a planet and a people does
not qualify for that initiation, then it cannot go within to release
the energies of the Christ that are for the liberation of the
lifewave. The point of freedom is the white-fire core of being.
To enter there, you must pass certain initiations. If you will
not submit to these initiations, then you have not the contact
of the fiery core of yourself or of cosmic beings, and therefore
you cannot derive the energies of the stars of our cosmic consciousness.
"And so the stripes are for the testing
of the people in the way of the seven rays. And the seven rainbow
rays across the sky are the stripes, the stripes of the original
thirteen, of Christ and his apostles, of a new nation conceived
on the foundation of hierarchy—thirteen
states of consciousness ratifying discipleship, ratifying that
here on this soil people shall be free and there shall be a government
“of the people, by the people, and for the people.”
"Stars and stripes of our cosmic consciousness!
The twelve Elohim—seven in outer manifestation, five in
the white-fire core of the Great Central Sun—send
forth the momentum of the twelve aspects of God-mastery that must
be forged and won in America. And out of the midst of the twelve
Elohim is the manifestation of the Cosmic Christ, Lord Maitreya,
the Coming Buddha. And the Christed One forms the center of our
mandala, and by the action of the Mother flame we come to anchor
this light among sons and daughters of freedom.
"This is why we have asked the question,
Are there sons and daughters on earth who will declare freedom,
who will work for freedom, who will make any and every sacrifice
for freedom?
"For in these we will anchor the stars
and stripes of our cosmic consciousness, in these Lord Maitreya
will anchor the flame of initiation, and to these the Mother will
come to minister unto their souls in the hour of the victory."

"Blessed ones, as you understand, America is in crisis! Therefore,
the Holy Kumaras come. Therefore, the Fourteen Ascended Masters
who govern the destiny of this nation come.
"Therefore, be seated,
for you are now in the flame of the old and new glory of the flag
of this nation, which does represent an ancient level of the civilization
of Atlantis when you were there and raised on high truly the ensign
of a people. And that ensign was the sign of the living Christ,
and that sign remains in this flag, the five-pointed star—the
memory of the Lord Christ, who did come, who did live, who did
reign, who did deliver unto the people the laws of God-government
and the laws of human behavior.
"Even so, the codification
of these laws was for the ultimate triumph of the people. But,
blessed hearts, there were many corrupt ones, even the fallen
angels who moved against the Woman and her Manchild. And these
held sway and held the people in their grip and moved them [to
rail] against the pillar of fire who was and is the Son of God,
the Lord Jesus Christ.
"Thus, beloved, the continent sank
into the depths of degradation, as if on a roller coaster, and
[some of] those who were servants of God moved on to other places
on the planet. The retirement, therefore, of the Son of God from
Atlantis was the beginning of the end and culminated many, many
years later in the sinking of that entire continent for the weight
of the forces of Antichrist.
" . . . Where there is a heart and
many hearts who will still burn with the fire of the threefold
flame that I have rekindled in some of the peoples of the earth,
we shall take a stand and a stronger stand each day as you increase
your strength and your capacity to receive the strength of Almighty
God. We shall be there if you will be there, and we will not withdraw
from the earth. We will not be intimidated by the fallen ones
who are overrunning the minds of the youth. We will not, so long
as you sing the anthems of the free and direct your calls with
piercing fire into the cause and core of Evil in the earth."
|
|
"Let all who treasure Freedom take the stand for Freedom
and its defense. I give you the words of Alpha in this phrase.
Let Liberty's torch be raised, for it is also the fire of heart
that is the fleur-de-lis, a threefold flame that will not be quenched
but give hope and hope and hope again. With faith and charity
let the 'tricolor' seen, then, in Old Glory reveal a purpose of
faith and hope and charity that together may call legions of Light
to your side."

Cosmic Being from

"You have heard that man is a starry body, a five-pointed
star. The five points of Light that make the star of this version
of man's consciousness are the five secret rays. The exactness
of the secret rays as they are released from the centers placed
within your form for this purpose goes
forth into the world to draw all into the plumb line of divinity.
I say then, this is no time for dalliance, for sloppiness, for
lack of cleanliness in your person. For this is the hour when
God demands the allness of man. And perfection is the great standard."
|
|
"As you raise up the sacred fire from the base to the crown
chakra in your daily meditations and dynamic decrees, remember
that you also activate this Kundalini fire by following the path
of the ruby-ray cross under the Buddha of the Ruby Ray. This path
is won through your daily sacrifice,
surrender, selflessness and service. And it requires that you
embrace the Divine Mother and offer her your devotion on behalf
of all humanity as well as on behalf of those close to you whom
she has entrusted to your care.
"If you are victorious on this path, the
day and the hour of your ascension will come, when the sacred
fire shall rise on your spinal altar with an intensity so great
as to almost overwhelm you. Your I AM Presence and Holy Christ
Self shall then draw you up into the arms of everlasting Love
and you shall make the transition from mortality to immortality.
"And you shall hear the words of the Father:
'Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful
over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things. Rise
to the levels of the kingdom of God and let others follow in your
wake!'
"So the white fire, beloved! So the white
fire is the fire of the Creation. All worlds are born through
the white fire yet not without the complement of Divine Love.
"It is interesting that the flag
of the United States (as well as the flags of many other nations)
bears the white and the red. So these 'ribbons of interconnecting
glory' in Old Glory, representing the thirteen original states,
are a reminder to all initiates that the white fire and ruby ray
are the ultimate keys to their God-mastery."

" . . . I AM come into your very midst with a cosmic angel
of Light, guardian of the heart of America and the heart of her
destiny.
"This magnificent angel of Light bears
the banner of the Union, bears the flag of these United States.
And you can look and see the flag as it is used in this hour—and
look again. For that golden light of victory and of eternal Life,
wherein the golden stripes replace the red, is also apparent as
the immaculate matrix of the heart of a Cosmic Virgin who does
ever behold the Light-bearers who bear the Light of the Mighty
I AM Presence as coming to the victory of our mission upon earth."

"Beloved ones, the thoughtform for the year 1997 is none
other than the Iwo Jima Memorial.* I have chosen this thoughtform,
for it shows the unity and oneness of those who have fought and
won on foreign soils, especially in the Pacific arena. I have
chosen this, beloved, so that you
might see that it takes a concerted effort of many to plant the
banner of Old Glory, to plant the banner of Sanat Kumara, to plant
the banner of Maitreya, to carry the banner and to know one's
strength as you rally round the banner of Sanat Kumara.
"Let that memorial be a memory to you that
against all odds the United States of America won World War II,
World War I. Yes, beloved, the wars were won because people sacrificed,
they surrendered, they were selfless and they were not surfeited
in their own human consciousness and the things of the world and
the things of darkness. Of those who were the winners in those
days, many have reincarnated today. Many of them are your own
children.
"So, beloved, what man has done, man can
do. Let us be up and doing, for the hour is far spent and the
world awaits the coming of the legions of Sanat Kumara, the Keepers
of the Flame and the lightbearers of every continent. So may you
all stand and rejoice for the victory of your nations!"
* The United States Marine Corps War Memorial,
frequently referred to as the Iwo Jima Memorial, depicts one of
the most famous incidents of World War II. The monument is in
tribute to the 6,821 Americans who gave their lives in the battle
for Iwo Jima, Japan—a key to the successful conclusion of
the Pacific campaign. The memorial is dedicated to all Marines
who have given their lives in defense of the United States since
1775.
An inscription on the base of the monument reads: "In honor
and in memory of the men of the United States Marine Corps who
have given their lives to their country since November 10, 1775."
Also inscribed on the base are the words "Uncommon Valor
was a Common Virtue,"
a tribute paid by Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz to the fighting
men on Iwo Jima.
The sculpture is located near Arlington National Cemetery, in
Arlington, Virginia, and was designed by Felix W. de Weldon, who
was at the time on duty in the U.S. Navy. Weldon took his inspiration
for the sculpture from a Pulitzer prize-winning photo by news
photographer Joe Rosenthal. The sculpture is the largest cast-bronze
statue in the world; hundreds of artisans worked 8 years to complete
it.

"Therefore my five-pointed star, a brilliant violet flame star,
does now seal Puerto Rico. And I demand that the Class of the Archangels
and that the Ascension Flame be established there by stumpers who
are still stumping for the Coming Revolution in Higher Consciousness
and who will not be stumped, will not be turned back, will not be
put down but will raise up the Old Glory and the new glory of the
New Age and the New Jerusalem!
"I AM Saint Germain! I am pouring out
over the earth the violet flame and it goes to every heart of every
Lightbearer in this hour for whom you have called to be cut free.
And legions of Victory answer that call. Legions of the mighty Archangels
answer that call. And I do answer the call. And I AM the flame of
Freedom speaking in the hearts of the free!"
|
|
"The Lord of the World said the people of America should be
'going forth to transfer [Saint Germain's] science, his economy,
his religion, his way of life, which represents that of the entire
Great White Brotherhood, to every nation . . . Thus, though the
chelas of Saint Germain and of America throughout the world may
have in some areas perfected and gone beyond the disciplines of
the people in this nation, yet the mantle has not yet been taken
from [Americans] to restore the earth to the place of peace and
freedom.'
"Let us sing, then, to Old Glory, the sign
of the standard and the standard-bearer and the symbol of our raising
up of the Christ and the I AM Presence within every citizen of the
world who will claim that banner for the 'I AM' Race and for himself
as a member of it!
"Let us sing to the Star-Spangled Banner
that reminds us that we the people enjoy the blessings of the flame
of liberty solely because we are endowed by our Creator with a divine
spark. Let us sing the anthem of our America that is more than a
nation, that is a spirit of oneness shared by people of every land
who know their God is with them in the Presence of the I AM THAT
I AM, who also went before the children of Israel 'a pillar of fire
by night.'
"Yes, the letters of America spell
out the words 'I AM' Race as though encoded for our discovery when
we should come to see our God face to face not only in the I AM
Presence but also in the noble mien of Saint Germain. Yes, we the
people of this 'common wheel' of Light, hovering with wings of cherubim
just above our heads, share an uncommon Light and Destiny as we
are gathered on these shores out of every race and nation to prove
our reason for being."

"I unroll the scroll of light, and oh, what a fiery scroll
it is, beloved! Upon this scroll is inscribed the full outpicturing
of the Mighty Blue Eagle—the angel formation of the legions
of the God Star Sirius. This blue eagle takes the form, for this
action for this planetary body, of the bald eagle of the United
States of America. Yet it is blue, and when you study its components
you will see that every feather and part is a blue-flame angel.
And it is a vast formation that fills the starry heavens.
"Beloved, the true and royal form of the
flag of the I AM Race is the background of this eagle. It is the
banner of Light. It is the Old Glory that has become America's flag.
And yet it contains the secret within it of new developments within
this nation which are to unfold.
"The starry field represents initiates, and
therefore its numbers may not be counted according to the outer.
And the thirteen tribes are represented in this flag in the ruby
and white, for it is [the red stripes are] not yet represented as
the gold. The ruby, therefore, has the filigree line of gold on
either side of the stripe separating it from the white, thus signifying
the path of the ruby ray and of the Body and Blood of Christ for
the attainment of the ascension through those stars which I cannot
number, for it is not lawful for me to reveal it.
"These stars represent not only states but
tribes of the nations. They represent compartments of root races.
They represent the seed of Christ, the archetypal blueprint of all
those who may ascend under the canopy of the Central Sun, its focus
in the God Star, assisted by the protection of the Mighty Blue Eagle
formation of angels.
"Beloved, behind this there is a unique map
of the earth. Laid out in spherical design, this map is translucent.
And by means of adjustment electronically, one can look at the earth
in this and past ages, going back as long as evolutions of Light
have been on it and showing in those periods the various land masses,
how the seas and landed areas were formed and how they are in this
present era.
"That which is center, beneath the heart
of the Mighty Blue Eagle, is that portion of the earth that is indeed
represented as the Western Hemisphere. Above that, the banner of
the I AM Race.
"Beloved ones, the sign of the thoughtform
of the year is this: to restore in this hemisphere, specifically
in the United States and in Canada (if her people and Keepers of
the Flame do will it so), the return to the founding principles
of freedom, the return by revolution of the Spirit—by
education and enlightenment, by the path of the ruby and the gold
and the white and the stars in the field of the blue-flame will
of God—to the original divine
design which Saint Germain held in his heart for this nation to
be the instrument of the return of Lightbearers to the establishment
of God's kingdom on earth and to their own ascension in the Light,
that they may walk the earth once again as ascended beings to be
the teachers of those not yet ascended and to bring this earth back
to that point of that golden-age civilization seventy thousand years
ago and in some cases millions of years ago.
"Thus, beloved, this great thoughtform, which
is large in dimension, does also retain at the very top the paintings
of Saint Germain and Jesus, originally done by Charles Sindelar,
and the Chart of the I AM Presence. When all of this is seen together
in the grandeur of dimension, you can see that it fits very well
on this giant tapestry.
"This tapestry of the thoughtform of the
year woven by angels will hang in the Grand Teton Retreat for all
to see. It shows that America shall return, deserving to be, then,
the nation sponsored by Saint Germain, her people going forth to
transfer his science, his economy, his religion, his way of life,
which represents that of the entire Great White Brotherhood, to
every nation.
"It shows that there is a key, and the key
is that America must come to her original purpose and fulfill it.
She has ever been established and sponsored by Saint Germain as
the guru nation. Thus, though the chelas of Saint Germain and of
America throughout the world may have in some areas perfected and
gone beyond the disciplines of the people in this nation, yet the
mantle has not yet been taken from them to restore the earth to
the place of peace and freedom.
"Thus, in the lower portion of the tapestry
one can see the multitudes, and they come from every nation and
they represent every tribe and race and people and color and evolution.
And as these multitudes approach from the south this map of North
America, there is in the center the dove of the Holy Spirit, the
dove of peace. In anticipation of the presentation of this thoughtform
at this hour, Lightbearers have been coming for decades and centuries
from around the world that they or their progeny could be here in
the hour of the renewal of the flame of the Spirit of Liberty.
"Beloved ones, in the tapestry that proceeds
out from around the maps there is a portrayal of major shrines of
liberty of the earth, most notable that of the Goddess of Liberty
on the right and the Grand Teton on the left.
"Thus, beloved, it is an endless story that
is woven into this tapestry, and it shows that the people of earth
must bend the knee and confess the eternal Christ in the heart of
Jesus, in the heart of Saint Germain, and in the heart of their
own I AM Presence. And these brothers of the favorite son, Joseph,
and of his sons, Ephraim and Manasseh these other tribes must come
to that point of recognizing that the Father has a right to have
a favorite son and to bless him. For that favor
is not unjust or unequal but it is the favor accorded as the blessing
of attainment. (Gen. 37:3-36; 41:50-52; 48; 49:1-29)
"Thus, Joseph, as you know, was the beloved
Jesus. And this is what you find—that
the hatred of Joseph has become the hatred of America. America is
the source of the Teachings, of the I AM THAT I AM sponsored by
Saint Germain. And therefore he has sponsored this language of this
people as the language of the Great White Brotherhood in this age.
Therefore, there must be an acceptance of this and a bending of
the knee also and not the constant quarreling by the other tribes—"Why
are we not equal?"
"You can be equal, but you must proceed under
Joseph with his coat of many colors and under the prophet Samuel.
You must go to their Promised Land. You must accept the Teaching
and the Path and strive with these holy ones of God to perfect a
Union long endowed. For sometime, somewhere the evolutions of other
continents of Saint Germain have truly rejected him. And that karma
is not removed from those nations, though it is removed from Saint
Germain and the Lightbearers who have borne that world karma so
long-especially the Messengers themselves."
