"And
so, beloved, imperfections are always with the saints."—Mother
Mary
"The Sacred Heart, beloved, must
be sought beyond all the avenues and byways
and detours set by maya or illusion or perhaps conspiracy itself."
—John the Beloved, March 27, 1986
"We would love to see large numbers
of individuals become saints.
We would love to see all men become saints in manifestation.
The surest and quickest way for this to come about is to cease
all criticism,
all condemnation, all gossip—all of the things that we have
told you
can never produce perfection."—Sanat Kumara, January
1, 1961
" . . . speak gently and tenderly
and lovingly with an open heart, a loving heart,
a compassionate heart—the heart of kindness that is the
signet of Lord Maitreya
—and speak on those subjects in which you find agreement
with another.
But come to the place where you are also willing to take a stand
as freedom fighters,
even as the wondrous saints have gone forth to fight the battles
of this century
and many past centuries and have laid down their lives for the
honor, the freedom
and the defense of their nations and their causes."—Saint
Germain
"Study the paths of those who have
found the ultimate joy of giving service to life.
Then you will have the key."—Gautama Buddha, December
31, 1995
"The pure heart is not enough.
It is the accelerated heart that is required, the heart
that is on fire for God, ruby red as the blood of Christ—now
crucified, now resurrected,
now ascended as the blood becomes the golden liquid light of the
jasper."
—Sanat
Kumara
" . . . the record of the saints
is read in heaven long before
the saints even consider that they are saints."—Surya |
"Why not perfect your own sainthood, the corona of your lifestream?
Why not perfect the flowing of the Light? There are things that
cannot be put aside in life, for they burn from within. They are
the calling, and that calling must be secured.
"Everything must be sacrificed for
it. And you must understand the inner and the outer calling. The
outer calling cannot be successful, my beloved, without the inner
calling being perfected; for the outer calling is to demonstrate
to the world the effects of what the inner Light complete can
be."

Practice Sainthood—Walk in the Footsteps of the Great Saints
of East and West
"I would ask, then, that all ye who carry that single flame
of fire that we have for the coming of Sanat Kumara might pattern
your life after the lives of the saints and read of the most famous
saints in Butler's Lives of the Saints that you might understand
that sainthood is within your reach and grasp, that many of you
could have had sainthood long ago for the very momentum of decrees
that you have given for so many years. And yet, beloved, when
you have had the opportunity to pursue that path, building on
the foundation of your decrees, you have either not known how
or not been taught how to pursue a path of sainthood hour by hour
and day by day.
" . . . Think, then, of Padma Sambhava.
Think of Maitreya and Manjushri. Think of Kuan Yin. Think of the
great female saints who surrounded Padma Sambhava. Think of all
of this and remember that all of this and more you are capable
of, and you are capable of it for the glorious dispensation that
you have.
"I desire to see deep prayer and meditation
and daily going to the altar of your nearest center or the altar
in your home. I desire to see you become saints of the West who
mirror the saints of the East. I desire that you should understand
that the Catholic Church and the Eastern Church have survived
because of the individual saints within these Churches. They have
kept the Church alive, and so you must keep this Church alive
by a sense of holiness and sanctity.
" . . . Therefore you have come to the West
to conquer that materialism, that materialistic consciousness,
that sensuality in all of the five senses and all of the chakras
that takes you thither and yon and beyond the center of being.
One and all, you are here because you have karma of this type
of having indulged in a material civilization to the point of
even losing your soul.
" . . . I would see a revolution in consciousness
in all Keepers of the Flame. I would see in your eyes a holiness
that will be observed by anyone who sees you near or far, on a
plane, traveling, walking down a dusty road. Those who meet you
will not miss your aura or the fire of the eyes or the expansion
of the heart—that is, beloved, if you truly follow the calling
of Kuthumi, of Jesus, of the saints of old and the saints in your
very midst.
"I have spoken thusly, beloved, for if you
do not have that fire of the eye, that magnanimity of heart, that
openness of giving and serving and helping and of having the quality
of mercy, then those who have that fire and are the true seekers
will not only pass you by but they will pass by the Church or
the teaching center, for they will say:
" 'This people has a great calling
and a great teaching, but where is the light of their chakras?
Where is the light of the heart? Where do they lay down their
life for humanity? Where are these pilgrims that we are looking
for? We do not find them in this Church or in this teaching center,
for too many are caught up with self-serving projects or money
schemes or diversions this way and that as though they would live
to be a thousand years old.'
" . . . Now study the lives of the
saints and become one. For you may accomplish many things of service,
but, I tell you, sainthood is a part of your calling if you would
insure with a divine insurance that you shall make your ascension
in this life."

Gautama Buddha

" . . . what you are ignorant of you cannot deal with justly.
And you have short days till the hour when you are called Home.
A half a century is considered short days for those who would
balance their karma and follow the Bodhisattva ideal. Yes, my
beloved.
"And my precious one present today,
my beloved Anita Buchanan, who celebrates her ninetieth birthday,
she does know the meaning of the days and the times and the seasons.
It was she who, as Queen Isabella, did provide the funds for me
to make that memorable voyage to the West Indies.
"Therefore I bow to this blessed
soul of Light. And I give to her my love and my commitment for
the hour of her victory. For surely the victory of my voyage of
discovery was largely the result of her support. And that victory
does come full circle each time I think upon it.
"Thus know that century upon century
the saints have given and given. The saints made it possible for
those of us who are now ascended to work the works that we had
to work in our day. In the days when we were unascended, we reached
our goal, we accomplished our ends because we had friends, beloved—friends
such as you who are here today.
"And you who are here today can have
a victory as great, as magnificent and as fulfilling as you determine
to make it. On the one hand, heaven measures your victory by heaven's
standard. But on the other hand, you gauge the measure of your
own victory—the measure of your striving, the measure of
your willingness to set aside the inner sorrow and the inner pain
for the greater cause and to simply say:
"This day Saint Germain needs me.
"This day I hear his call as I awaken
from sleep.
"And I will say again:
"Here am I, Lord. Speak, for thy
servant heareth!"
"Many of you have been tried in the
fire of God's purging love and tried again and again. Know, then,
beloved, that the burdens you have faced and the challenges you
have met are for your victory, are for your ascension.
"And we push and we push and we push
again. And sometimes you are weary to the bone. Perhaps you have
lost the vision that it is because we love you that we give you
the opportunity to meet head—on and vanquish major challenges
to earth's freedom.
"But despite all obstacles, you have
agreed to take on these challenges and you have acted with dispatch
and you have delivered your decrees and you have moved on, and
we are grateful. And good things are happening in the world because
you have kept the vigil of the violet flame."

"Visualize the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Immaculate Heart
of Mary. See the peaceful heart
of the Lord of the World, Gautama Buddha. See the profound mercy
in the heart of Kuan Yin. And determine what shall be the sign
of your heart empowered by the fire of the Ruby Ray
and the Ruby Ray Buddha."

Buddha of the Ruby Ray
January 1, 1994 |

"Thus, the saints who have prayed daily throughout history
are those who have been open hearts to our coming and through
them the Light has shone. Yet, I tell you, if you are not saints
today you may be saints tomorrow, and this sainthood, beloved,
is the infusion of your being and your spiritual centers with
the light of the Universal Christ."
|

" . . . Recognize that every saint who has reunited with
the ascension flame has reenacted this marvelous ritual of the
judgment of the Fallen One and that Fallen One who has caused
the descent of the light of the white fire within you. Therefore,
beloved one, each and every saint
in heaven is a cornerstone of victory and not a gravestone but
the mark of the white cube forged and won. That stone of light,
that repository of infinite energy—this is the fire and
the fiat, the strength and the devotion of the saints in heaven!
"Understand the great mystery of the Word
incarnate, point/counterpoint. For every saint in heaven—and
there are millions upon millions of star-flower saints of light—for
every one there may be a counterpoint in the heart of the earth.
"This therefore is the descent of the Word
that you may interconnect with the saints of heaven, even the
starry bands of the Great White Brotherhood, by your own elevation
of the feminine ray within your heart, by the light of justice
representing the feminine ray of the seventh principle of the
Godhead.
"Thus by your own coordinate, by your own
polarization of the light of justice in your heart, you may now
be connected with a single son of God in heaven, one who sets
forth even as the mark of this interaction the white stone and
in the heart of the stone the amethyst jewel—the alchemy
of cosmic justice made manifest on earth as both divine and human
justice through your very own heart flame. This closer tie with
the Brotherhood through your devotion to justice has been the
goal of Summit University in this quarter of the fall of 1980."

“Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the
world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are ye
unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that
we shall judge angels?”
"Indeed, in the name of God
and his Son Jesus Christ, you are empowered to command
the Archangels and the numberless numbers of their legions
of light to right the wrongs of society. And, once and
for all, you shall know that you have the wherewithal
to fulfill the injunction of our Lord to 'heal the sick,
cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils.'
As Jesus said, 'Freely ye have received, freely give.'
"

"Many saints have walked the earth, and among many
saints only a single saint has been called apart to
become the rose of the heart. What is the difference,
beloved? What makes one devotee be received into the
courts of the kingdom of heaven and another working
side by side with that one to return into embodiment?
"It is the quality of the heart.
It is the quality of grace. It is the quality of forgiveness
and forbearance. It is the quality of Love discovered
in all of the millions of facets of its potential expression.
It is care and carefulness and the rough places of the
human will planed by the diamond of the Inner Christ.
"Commend
your spirit unto the Father, saying, 'O my Father, into
thine arms I commend my spirit!' But the key is, except
you become [as] a little child, you will not enter in
to the Holy of holies of the temple initiations with
me; [you will not enter in except you have the] childlike
quality of trust and innocence and purity, knowing only
the love of God and trusting that love.
"Now come my legions of
angels, for I would not leave you to wonder or despair
this day. Therefore they come with swords to cut you
free from worldliness, intellectual pride, the entrapments
of the carnal mind and all those things that have taken
you from the sweet innocence of your childhood and the
simple faith you knew.
"I, Jesus, have walked
up and down the earth, placing my Electronic Presence
[before the people] that all might see the Christ. And
you, the saints, have revealed your path at inner levels
to millions. All know it is the time of the coming of
the Son of man. Yet they will not know how or where
or when unless some of you enter into the bliss of God,
knowing that the portal to bliss is pain. But it is
a peculiar pain, beloved, and it is one that surely,
I tell you, can be endured . . .
"In the great mystery of Love I call you, for you
have loved and cherished the lives of the saints. You
have loved each of my footprints in which you have placed
your own feet. You have supped on the words. You have
been drenched in the glory of my Light released, as
again
and again you have received my testimony.
"O Great Central Sun Magnet of
the Ruby Ray, draw the fragments of self scattered to
the four corners of the universes back, back to the
magnet of the heart!
"Blessed one, if you would
be all of yourself, you must develop the heart as a
magnet so that all that has your imprint upon it, and
even fragments of the soul lost here and there, will
come back to you as though spiraling to the center of
a great sun. Without the quality of the Ruby Ray magnet
of the heart that is the very expression of the rose,
you cannot become here below that 'fire infolding itself'
which draws to you all of the components of selfhood
that Divine Wholeness might appear here below, as Above.
"One glimpse
of the face of a saint, a Christed one, a Lightbearer
by those who are open
and listening and yearning and calling for their God,
and they know. They know it is possible.
"Some of you have had this effect on those who
have watched and seen you as you walked through a crowd
thinking you were unnoticed. You yourselves may remember
how once or twice in this lifetime you may have seen
someone whose eyes told you that God dwelt in his temple.
And you have been spurred on, understanding that purity
of heart has enabled that one to be a shining one in
the earth. And you have said, 'There by the grace of
God I will go, for I see it is possible by his Spirit.'
" 'Holiness unto the Lord!'
is a most powerful fiat for establishing and reestablishing
the fire and the magnet of the heart, for it is [your]
declaring that here below all holiness is the Lord’s.
And this holiness becomes the dazzling sun [within your
heart] to increase and increase and increase.
" . . . Much inner preparation
is going on amongst the saints in the earth who have
become saints only by the crumbs from the Master’s
table. But because of the fire of their hearts and their
love, they have seen that one crumb is the whole loaf.
And though they have been given the whole loaf by me,
they could not receive it in their outer consciousness,
for the whole loaf of the divine doctrine is unacceptable
to their programming in this life, their belief systems."

"Thus all cultures and religions
go back to the union of man and God in celebration of
the hierarchies of Light and the avatars descending and
the intercession of Moses and Gautama and Confucius and
Isaiah and the apostle Paul. In each and every instance,
what captures the people is this close proximity of heaven
and earth and the saints appearing and the men of God
appearing to Abraham and the angels descending and the
opening of the chakras and the very crown itself and heaven,
then, descending in the starry body.
"Beloved hearts, this is what
impels life to strive, to seek Truth and to champion her
cause before the oppressed and those who have been dealt
with unjustly. It is the desire to have the opening of
the portals of the etheric octave. It is the desire so
great in the human psyche to remember in the outer sense
this connection of inner and outer planes and the continuity
of life and the goal that is beyond all of this darkness
in the sunrise and the golden dawn of a new day."

"And therefore, by studying the lives of those who
have faced God, who have learned from his law, who have
been put down by that law and raised up by that law, you
may understand the way in which ye ought to walk! The
way in which ye walk this hour must become the way of
the prophet, the way of the disciple, the way of the Christ,
the way of the revelator, the way of the ministering servant,
the way of the holy people, the way of the apostle, the
way of the progenitors of mankind, and the way of the
holy angels.
"Pick your character or mighty
hero [out of] the Bible itself and become that one for
a day and put on that mantle and call forth that causal
body, even as you who have been Catholic are used to praying
to the saints. I tell you, pray to the mighty causal body
and the power of Almighty God in these personages and
learn to love and know them. For, beloved hearts, they
are the pioneers; they have carved a way! And the way
they have carved is the path all the way up the mountain
to the very crown chakra where you sit at the feet of
Lord Maitreya, Lord Gautama, and Sanat Kumara; and you
finish up the course of the raising up of the ascension
flame, the Mother Light, from the base unto the crown."

"What has happened to the 'Church Militant' on earth
that does defend Life when Death and Hell move against
the souls of a people? Where, then, are today's saints?
They are outside of its walls, I tell you, for the true
saints have long ago recognized that these walls cannot
contain nor house my Great Causal Body.
"And therefore,
I must in protest come again to overturn the money changers
in the temple. These are they who conspire with world
movements of totalitarianism, who enter into compromise,
and challenge and deny the true path of individual soul
freedom and the rightful inheritance of every son of God
to walk and talk with me and to commune with me as I walked
and talked with my disciples for many years, even many
years after my resurrection. For I did remain upon earth
and the Gnostic text Pistis Sophia does bear witness to
this even as does the Church Father Irenaeus, commenting
that I was teaching well into the [fiftieth year. And
it was so.]
"Blessed
ones, the mysteries I have taught have been banned and
denounced as heresy, and therefore you are as shorn lambs
today, having accepted the orthodox lie of sin and condemnation.
" . . . Understand
that there is such corruption across the governments of
the nations that where to begin becomes the challenge
of the hour, but I will tell you where to begin. That
beginning is in the raising up of the true Light [as the
Threefold Flame] in your heart. That beginning is to know
me, to know my Word and to become it—and to fear
not to assimilate my Body and my Blood, the fullness of
the Omega-Alpha consciousness of the Father-Mother God.
Fear not, therefore, to set aside the former things and
to enter into the newness of the Spirit.
"The second
thing, therefore, is to stand before the altar of God
that you erect in your own home and to daily, hourly invoke
the power and intercession of God and to ask to be his
instrument and to call upon those Seven Archangels and
Lords of the Seven Rays. Call upon all of us in heaven
and we will come to your side and we will open the way
for you to serve your nations and your communities. The
hour is late, yet everyone must give his all to this calling.
" . . . Come unto me, all ye who
labor, then, with the burden of orthodoxy and the laws
of mortality, for in the Light of my Presence I will give
you Life.Remember, I AM your brother always. Call to me
and I will answer. Knock upon the door of my heart and
I shall open. And promise me this, beloved, that when
I knock upon the door of your heart you will also open
and allow me to enter in and to use you in a moment of
personal or national crisis in your nation, in your planet,
for I need your hands and heart. I need your temples for
the deliverance of souls and I need your voice to speak
to them the word of comfort.
" . . . I seal you and bless you for the victory
of your whole life day by day, and the recording angels
have outlined for you what is that just and perfect and
holy calling for thy life in this hour. Day by day to
the finish, to the end of mortality, to the soul's immortality!
Day by day, thus the Lord calls you! Answer, answer and
be free!
"O shepherd of souls, thou
Universal Christ, descend now and be unto them their Divine
Reality."

"One of the most famous encounters recorded in mystical
literature is the ecstasy of another Teresa—Teresa
of Avila. In a vision, the Lord showed Teresa a small
angel holding a large golden heart tipped with fire.
"She wrote:
'It seemed to me this angel plunged the dart several times
into my heart. When he drew the dart out, I thought he
was carrying off with him the deepest part of me; and
he left me all on fire with a great love of God.'
"Jesus told
Catherine of Genoa that 'these flaming darts of an irresistible
love are like waves of fire. They flow from My breast,'
Jesus said, 'and communicate such ardor and interior power
to man that he can now do nothing else but love, remaining
inseparably united with
his God.'
"Unable to
adequately express the overwhelming love she felt for
God, Catherine of Genoa simply said, 'If one drop of that
love which my heart feels . . . were to fall into Hell,
Hell itself would altogether turn into eternal life.'
"Isn’t
this the love we all seek? The love that will heal. The
love that with one single drop will transform someone’s
world. Just think what we could do if we had that kind
of love! But in order to have that kind of love, we need
to open our hearts—all the way. And as we know,
it is not always easy to do that. Because of the wounds
of the past, we close up when loving gets too painful.
We sometimes have to contact deep levels of hurt in order
to resolve the painful record and move on."
|
|
|
"And therefore the determined ones have overcome;
[they] have overcome enormous adversities, infirmities,
weaknesses of the body. They have accomplished far more
than those who have had perfect health and all things
in life that they wanted. If you could have seen the saints,
beloved, and what they bore in their bodies and by the
will of the spirit what they achieved, you would understand
that there is nothing in this octave that can stop a warrior
who has this true spirit. And this truly is a definition
of virya.
"Virya is more than physical strength,
even more than the will of the mind. It is this presence
of the spirit of a man and the spirit of a woman."
|
|
"I would show you the world as Jesus has shown it to
many of the saints of old. And inasmuch as they have seen
Death and Hell, beloved, so I would also take you to the
depths of Death and Hell, clothed with a great armour so
that you might observe the consequences that have come upon
those who have moved against the Lord God again and again.
And you will marvel at how they believe they are in a wondrous
place, twenty levels below in the astral plane! For this
plane is akin to their own vibration, their own sloth, their
own odor. "Yes, beloved,
'As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth
to his folly.' Just so, the fallen angels return to the
astral plane. And when they reincarnate they attempt to
bring the vibrations of that plane with them and to take
to those low levels innocent souls who have moorings neither
in precious father or mother on earth nor in Father-Mother
God in heaven."
|
|
"The crown of Life is won daily, and therefore there
does come to all, step by step on the ladder of initiation,
the opportunity to give—at first in small ways which
seem great and then in great ways which seem small. For
as one does ascend the spiral staircase realizing the Allness
of God, one knows how small, by comparison, must any sacrifice
be; for the gift of the return current is always the Divine
All. The saints of all ages unto whose hearts I have imparted
this great and compassionate truth are they who are above
you now, the immortals. Yet, it is not beneath them to walk
by your side day upon day."
|
| |
|
"In all areas this world is not spinning as it should
be, except in the hearts of the saints who keep the flame
in every one of the world’s religions. And everywhere
that there are those who are praying to God for the acceleration
of the education of the children, there is an opening
for the children to accelerate scientifically, spiritually—and
triumphantly."
|
| |
|
" . . . And so, beloved, imperfections are always
with the saints. It is not that you mourn them but that
you are reminded that the human has the propensity to
err, that the human is an imperfect vessel for the perfection
of the Christ and that the imperfections that linger on
the path of sainthood are not so vastly important to the
spiritual overseer of the planet as they may be to yourselves.
Blessed ones, there is the perfecting
of the heart and the soul and the mind that is often neglected
by those who have vanity and spiritual pride and continually
expect the human flesh-and-blood person to be that perfect
model and role model of the chela.
" . . . And each one in Community
does provide truly a blessedness, truly a focus of sainthood,
that all others may drink from that certain fountain and
know (that) when they put their straw into that fountain
a certain vibration, a certain flavor will come forth.
And that very special vibration may be at any time the
healing element that they require."

Mother Mary

"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."
|

|
"Take care that you begin and end your day with a
prayer unto that [saint or Person of the Godhead of] your
choice.
"Let it be a prayer unto
the Lord of the World, Gautama Buddha. Let it be a prayer
unto the Christ, Jesus, even the World Teacher and avatar
of the age, who is Lord and Saviour. Let it be to Sanat
Kumara, Lord Maitreya or your favorite saint. Let it be
to God directly but, I say, to whomever it be, let your
mantra sing! Let your heart release the light and see
how much God will pour his flood tides of light through
you each and every one!"

Saint Germain
April 27, 1991 |

"I know of and have observed down through the Christian
centuries countless saints of holy orders—including
those in Christian, Tibetan, and even so-called heathen
monasteries—who became disciples of Love’s
wisdom. Many of these labored with the weight of enormous
karma, under abbots and superiors who could have been
much more kind. Scarcely a word of approval did they hear
in a lifetime until the Master’s blessed voice said,
'Well done.' Yet, they were constant.
"You who enjoy the freedom of the
outer world and belong not to holy orders—what opportunity
is yours to overcome temptation and to be really strong
for right and God! How you should welcome the opportunity,
as have many disciples in the past who never made recorded
history, remaining unknown, unhonored, and unsung."
|
| |
|
"Now receive the blessing of the Sacred Heart of
Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
"Many saints who are your brothers
and sisters have placed themselves at this altar this
night that you might feel the kinship and the oneness
with those you have known in past lives who have gone
on before you. They are your wayshowers. And many of you
in this room have been told by Gabriel the Archangel that
you were to make your ascension in this life. Let it be
so that you understand that this is not a predestination
but it is a calling to which you direct all of your strength
and energy and your discipleship unto the heart of our
beloved Jesus Christ.
"In the heart of my Lord, I AM one
with you each and every day, for I do spend all of my
heaven on earth. I seal you with the white roses of the
ascension of the Blessed Mother and I embrace you as a
sister of Light and Love."
|
| |
|
"Let them come to me who have first put on the sardine
stone that I AM, for its ruby red signifies the heart
of the initiate whose initiations in the sacred fire are
for the mastery of the first element of the Ancient Alchemist,
the fire element, and its angels and salamanders in Spirit
and in Matter. The sardine is the opening of the door
of the heart to the initiation of the Rose Cross. It is
the garnishment of the sixth foundation of the wall of
the Holy City and the first stone set in gold upon Aaron’s
breastplate. Thus it is the beginning of the mysteries
of the priesthood and the sixth step in the inner temple
initiations.
"The pure heart is not enough.
It is the accelerated heart that is required, the heart
that is on fire for God, ruby red as the blood of Christ—now
crucified, now resurrected, now ascended as the blood
becomes the golden liquid light of the jasper. I AM the
beginning and the ending of the path of initiation which
I transfer to you through the Great Guru Lord Maitreya.
I AM in the center of the rainbow round about the throne.
I AM in the center of the twelve rings of Elohim, whose
causal bodies adorn the Nameless One."
|
| |
|
"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?"

" . . . We see in the life of Jesus Christ and Moses
and the prophets and the apostle Paul and the saints who
have walked with us these two thousand years, as well
as in that of the Masters of the Far East, that there
are certain known factors in life and in what we face
as we master each of the seven planes of being through
the seven chakras.
"These are not different, but they
are the same tests given to all. They may be clothed in
different guises in different centuries, but when it comes
down to the moment of Truth, as for the testing, the temptation,
and the trials, there are givens and there are knowns.
"Therefore, by acquainting ourselves
with the lives of the saints, we may know what to anticipate
and not be dismayed when we ourselves as chelas, or our
leaders or the Ascended Masters, come under the reproof
of the fallen angels upon earth.
"It is so essential, according to
Saint Germain and to beloved El Morya, to understand our
position in history. A long cosmic history precedes us—millions
of years. We have been a part of that history.
" . . . Yet these saints who have
gone before us have been pillars of eternity standing
in the mists of time and space. And as we study them,
we see them in their aloneness, their all-oneness, standing
out in relief against the complicity of the fallen ones.
" . . . When you place yourselves
at the feet of the Ascended Masters, know that you have
the responsibility for the Light and the Wisdom and the
Mandate given. These are the terms of chelaship. When
you expect God to serve you through the Ascended Masters,
you are expected to return in kind."

" . . . But I ask you to look at the lives of the saints
who have made it and not at those of the world who will
pass through the judgment, who seem to have a life of ease
and pleasure. Every saint who has ever made it, every saint
in his final embodiment has felt that surge of that fire
of that Holy Spirit burning within him, and he has toiled
through the day and toiled through the night and won that
victory. "If you are not
willing to pay that price, if you are not willing to enter
into that fire spiral of that God-victory, then I say,
pray for that desire, pray for that willingness. Pray
for those things to be taken from you that stop you short
of the daily victories that you know you can have.
"This is a do-it-yourself course.
And when you do it yourself, I will multiply your works
by my grace. I cannot multiply anything if you do not
put forth works and the effort and show that you are willing
to live a hard life as well as an easy life. For you have
had both in many incarnations and this surely is the time
to prove what you are made of.
"Do you not think, if there were
favoritism [between a Master and his disciple] and if
the Law would have allowed it, that I would have raised
up Magda two thousand years ago and simply dissolved her
karma and not required her, as God required it, to return
for two thousand years? There is a mythology surrounding
my person and that mythology must not creep into your
theological awareness. You must understand that we all
come under the Law.
"Not only would I not desire this
but I also would not allow it. For, beloved, it is experience
in life that is for the ripening of the soul. Do not take
from a child his victory or he will resent you for the
rest of his life. God and the saints—even I myself—do
not take from anyone the victory, do not bestow the prize
until the prize is duly won and until the true effort
is made.
"I am releasing a flame in this
hour. It is the flame that you most need. It is the flame
of realism. Realism is the absolute requirement of the
hour, not fuzzy thinking, not illusory thinking, not false
optimism but the realism of what is taking place on this
planet and what are the signs of the times.
"I, Jesus, write in the sand, as
I was wont to do on many occasions, even as I wrote down
the karma and the sins of those who accused Magda. I have
written in the sands of the desert and I have written
in the sands of the Himalayas. I have written in the earth
the signs in the heavens, and I know these signs. And
the exact science of astrology and its use by you is taught
by me at inner levels.
"Those who will reject my teaching
and this science may also reject me. They fear the coming
of the Lord’s judgment; therefore they seek to deny
the prophecy of that judgment. Do not count yourself among
them, for they go the way of all flesh and the way of
the captains and the kings and the mighty men.
"Therefore know that the calculations
are true and the prophecies are true. And therefore they
have been set forth through the Messenger. And you must
look at them and give your violet flame [decrees] for
yourselves."
