"I come in anticipation of our celebration of the resurrection.
I come beforehand to establish a pillar of that resurrection fire
here upon this altar. Let no staff, then, cross this step or stand
where the Messenger stands until the fulfilling of the purpose
of this flame on Easter Sunday.
"Therefore, beloved, know that heaven—Alpha
himself, the blessed Father—desires to increase day by day
your assimilation of resurrection’s fires. Understand, then,
the meaning of the Flame of the Resurrection. Understand, then,
the meaning of the penetration of the rainbow rays of God accelerating
as a bubbling fountain, a life-giving force, an energizing force.
"Understand that the resurrection flame
is a flame of the awakening, awakening then that must come to
the heart of each one. All that is in thee must be awakened, must
be brought to the surface.
"God has sent me with this flame this day
because ye are able to bear it, because Christ in you is awakened.
Truth is awakened first. And as the Messengers have held the balance
against the day of the awakening of the carnal mind, so you have
prospered and increased in love and in your witness of Truth.
"Now cometh the hour when resurrection’s
fires must also awaken in you that awareness of the sleeping serpent—on
the one hand, the dweller on the threshold, the anti-self; on
the other hand, the life-force, the sacred fire out of the base-of-the-spine
chakra.
"These are most powerful energies. The energy
of eternal Life ascending in the temple is the calling of the
Lord and of the Mother. It demands obedience and submission unto
all of the flowers of the chakras, for the life-force makes permanent
that which it contacts.
"Therefore, the sleeping serpent of the
dweller on the threshold must first be awakened and bound in the
name I AM THAT I AM by the soul who is clothed upon with his own
Christ Self. With the binding, then, of this not-self and the
accumulation of its works in the coil of the electronic belt,
there may then transpire the awakening of the sleeping serpent
of the coiled Kundalini, the life-force itself.
"May I remind you that this is the path
of the ascended masters and of the ascension. This is not the
path of the false gurus of the East who create, out of sensation
and a yoga that is not lawful, a sexual activity and attempt to
raise that life-force without the Holy Spirit but only by the
stimulation of the chakras, stimulating the energy to rise when
the attainment is not there.
"You will discover, beloved hearts, that
those who pursue this left-handed path then use that life-force
to endow the dweller on the threshold with permanence. These are
the dark ones, and their seeming power is the misuse of the ascension
flame to give immortality to the human ego. This, beloved ones,
is the means whereby those on the left-handed path, the black
magicians themselves, do gain the ability to work their works.
"Understanding then the mystery, all the
more, little ones, ought you to run unto the Lord to be hidden
in the garments of the Christ, to run to the beloved Christ Self
and desire above all else union with that Christ, who will bring
to you chastening and outer turmoil and persecution and direct
knowledge with the hatred of this world. But that Christ will
not awaken in you the Kundalini until you are sealed in the alchemical
marriage of the Christ of your being.
" . . . See to it, then, for the mighty
threefold flame within you, your mighty Christ, your I AM Presence
is able to subdue even the manipulation of this light of Alpha
and Omega. And as Saint Germain, my brother and my father, has
told you, they will pay fully for every misuse of the science
of God and the alchemy of his Word. Therefore does he sound the
warning in his Studies in Alchemy that the science may never,
never be misused with impunity.
"Beware, then, the magnetism of the aura
of those fallen angels who walk by the power of the misuse of
the base of the spine [chakra], who even claim to take dictations
from me by this power and these distorted sexual practices.
"Blessed ones of the Light, in the mastery
you gain in the divine order which I have taught this day, you
will discover that there is no need for Tantric Yoga. For when
you raise the Kundalini fire, it is not by the sexual practices
but by the lodestone of your Mighty I AM Presence, by Christ in
your heart who is the magnet for the consummation of that fire
in the crown of Life. And this fire is for the Deathless Solar
Body, and it is the ascension flame.
"In the name of Serapis Bey, I charge you,
then, to give your calls upon those individuals and movements
this day that would sweep the light-bearers out of the path of
the Great White Brotherhood in America and other nations by the
popularity of these ancient practices of the dark ones!
" . . . Therefore, take care that you
do not, through sympathy, enter in anew into those associations
which we have freed you from in these hours of your path. But move
upward and receive, then, the joy of the resurrection flame. For
this flame shall be unto you the quickening of light, the quickening
of all momentums of God’s goodness, God’s attainment
within you, until your strength is one with the strength of Christ.
"And when you feel it and when you know
it, then watch and pray; for the next awakening will be of the
dweller. And thus, beforehand begin to pronounce the judgment
I have given you this day that he might be significantly reduced
even before he is awakened. Thus, there are strategies of light,
you see, even as there are strategies in darkness.
"And finally, when you have gotten that
victory over the beast, the awakening will be of the ascension
flame rising within you. And then you will know the meaning of
the conquering ones —not the pride of those who condemn
and condemn and condemn our Messengers and our disciples worldwide.
They know not the heart of our servant. They know not the heart
of the chela.
"I know your hearts, beloved. I know your
hearts. Fear not, for I know your love. But only be concerned
that that which sets itself against thy heart from beneath be
taken and bound and cast into the fire by your conscious will,
by your conscious devotion, before it put upon you any further
burden.
"Why do you suppose, blessed ones, there
is the failing of men’s hearts for fear? It is because the
heart becomes burdened by the toxic waste, if you will, the substance
misqualified in the caldron of the electronic belt, and it rises
against the heart chakra and the physical heart. And instead of
pouring forth the balm of Gilead in Christ through that heart,
instead of discovering the divine nectar of the crown by the union
of the life-force of Alpha and Omega, instead of the violet flame,
these individuals go after heart surgery, heart transplants—as
though they could create a heart of life and of God.
"What a pity, so much striving to discover
the mechanical means to ascend, blessed ones —almost uncomprehensible!
Yet more’s the pity, this is all they have to hope for—the
mechanical manipulation of life—hoping against all hope,
indeed, that by material science alone they shall discover the
fount of youth, they shall meet the mighty youth Sanat Kumara
or somehow know the state of grace. And how they suffer in their
striving for their physical perfection!"
