Nativity
on the High Altar at the Royal Teton Ranch
Thanks to the generous love offerings of Keepers of the Flame,
this Nativity was secured in response to the dispensation
of Saint Germain in his dictation on November 22, 1980 |
"And
his name shall be called Emmanuel—God with us."—Matthew
1:2-3
"Now in the sixth month the angel
Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,
to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house
of David.
The virgin's name was Mary. And having come in, the angel said
to her,
'Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are
you among women!'
. . . Then the angel said to her, 'Do not be afraid, Mary, for
you have found favor with God.
And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son,
and shall call His name Jesus.
He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and
the Lord God will give Him
the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house
of Jacob forever,
and of His kingdom there will be no end."—Luke 1:26-33
"In those days a decree went out
from Caesar Augustus that all the world
should be registered. This was the first registration when Quirinius
was governor of Syria.
And all went to be registered, each to his own town. And Joseph
also went up from Galilee,
from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which
is called Bethlehem,
because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered
with Mary,
his betrothed, who was with child. And while they were there,
the time came for her
to give birth. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped
him in swaddling cloths
and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them
in the inn."—Luke 2:1-7
"And the Word became flesh and
dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace
and truth."—John 1:14
"Now there were in the same country
shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch
over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood
before them,
and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly
afraid.
Then the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid, for behold, I
bring you good
tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is
born to you this day
in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this
will be the sign to you:
You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.'
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly
host praising God and saying:
'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward
men!"'—Luke 2:8-14
"And the Word became flesh and
dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory
as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth
. . . And of His fullness
we have all received, and grace for grace. For the law was given
through Moses, but grace
and truth came through Jesus Christ."—John 1:14, 16-17
" . . . this richest babe comes
poor in being, more pearled within
than to the seeing."—An early American hymn
"For unto us a Child is born, unto
us a Son is given; And the government
will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful,
Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end,
upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to order it and
establish it
with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this."—Isaiah
9:6, 7
"How many observe Christ's birth-day!
How few, his precepts!
O! 'tis easier to keep Holidays than Commandments."—Benjamin
Franklin
Enough happiness to keep you happy
During the year may you have
Enough happiness to keep you sweet.
Enough trials to keep you strong.
Enough sorrow to keep you human.
Enough hope to keep you happy.
Enough failure to keep you humble.
Enough success to keep you eager.
Enough friends to give you comfort.
Enough wealth to meet your needs.
Enough enthusiasm to make you look forward to tomorrow.
Enough determination to make each day better than the day before. |
“In searching for that manger, even the
ark of safety where the Nativity should be immaculately guarded,
we have selected this very altar of the Holy Grail for the display
of the Nativity that shall become a cosmic focus of the birth
of Christ to this planetary body.
" . . . We are therefore beholding now the etheric lowering
into manifestation of this Nativity, and the etheric blueprint
is set, and now you can feel the light emanations of the hearts
of the participants beginning to radiate from this very forcefield.
" . . . Through this focus, beloved hearts,
we will establish anew a momentum of the Holy Family, the opportunity
of sons and daughters to bring forth the Christed ones—opportunity
for that magnificent cooperation of angels, ascended masters and
men, elemental life, without which there could not have been the
Piscean dispensation. I encourage you to fast and pray that you
might also have the vision of the Virgin and the Manchild, the
very one whom I held in my arms and adored as the Saviour of the
World. Thus by the duplication of the image and the replica of
our life, worlds upon worlds can once again be established in
this octave."
This Nativity scene was placed on the altar precisely where Saint
Germain stood when delivering the dictation. The hardwood figures
are approximately 25” in height, hand-carved and hand-painted
in Italy.
This focus of the Nativity will remain on the
altar until the right to life of every child of God is guaranteed
under the Constitution of the United States of America—the
right to live to realize the personal Christ potential.
We encourage you to keep your own Nativity scene
in a special place in your home or on your altar until this victory
for the Lord is accomplished. |

Traditional Polish Nativity (szopka)
"We would like to expand today in the
consciousness not only of those assembled here but also in those
assembled in the entire community of the United States and the world
an awareness of the oneness of life upon the planet that we may
be able to create in America in the future that holy family concept
that will draw mankind together and set before the people of this
planet a cup of light in the heart of America." |

Now Is the Hour
for a Great Leap in Consciousness
The Three Kings
Now we send throughout the planetary body and
to its core the invincible manifestation of the ruby ray.
Therefore, O Buddha of the Ruby Ray and many
ruby-ray Buddhas, come forth now. Come forth and manifest yourselves
that the people of earth may understand that there is a law of
the Logos whereby the Three Wise Men, who we are, <1> may
bring forth tremendous alchemy in this hour.
As you look at the advances in technology, as
you look at the pace of science know, then, beloved, that we,
the Three Kings, hold the balance for this. Come, then, and understand
how much we can do for the children, the adults, the avatars and
the simple folk throughout the land.
This is a land teeming with great life, with
great intelligence, with great ability to sponsor life. But we
need your help, beloved. We do not hear you. You do not hear us.
We must be heard.
Hear us, then. Hear us again and again. Let
us reach out to you and tell you that some things that move swiftly
in technology work for the good; other things do not necessarily
work for the good.
Therefore draw the line between the Real and
the Unreal. Come to the understanding, beloved, that each and
every one of you in this room and on the telephone patch must
realize that a vital victory must come to pass.
We have come to the day and the hour of the
Buddha of the Ruby Ray. Now is the time to bring back those decree
sheets so that you may give the ruby-ray calls, <2> even
if for but five minutes, ten minutes, beloved, or for two hours
a day. Trust us. And understand that it is the action of the ruby
ray that will take you to great heights of consciousness and will
bring you, beloved, beyond the 51 percent of karma balanced that
you must have, and beyond that and beyond and beyond. For we would
have you graduate from this planet 100 percent karma free.
[30-second standing ovation]
So you can give the calls in the green section,
the pink section and the blue section of the "Invocations
to the Hierarchy of the Ruby Ray." And then the world belongs
to you, beloved, because the living Saviour dwells in your heart,
the Holy Christ Self dwells in your heart, and that victory is
yours to claim over and over and over again. And, beloved, when
you see it happening, and when you see your children being elevated
by Mighty Cosmos' Secret Rays, you will understand just what I
am talking about.
Atlantis Rising
I am talking about the fact that throughout
the world many of you and your children have the capacity for
far greater achievements in the fields of science, engineering,
art, design, architecture and in the understanding of all that
must go forward in a new civilization. That new civilization is
being created again, as it were, in the sense that Atlantis is
rising.
Do you see, beloved? The old forms, the old
monuments that are beneath the waves—so they come back full
circle. And you understand that again and again through karma,
through your nonresolution of karma, you have allowed yourselves
to remain on the planetary body. And in so doing, you have kept
your children with you.
Now is the hour for the great leap—the
great leap in consciousness. For you need to move beyond the minutiae
of this octave and go on and on and farther on. Look back, beloved,
and see what were the things that never should have been but were
a part of your lifestream. Do not lament them. Go to work with
the violet flame. Bring forth the transmutation of these actions
and transfer it here, there and everywhere on the planetary body.
Yes, bring forth the violet flame, for we are
determined that this entire planetary body will change. And it
will change because you live on earth, beloved. What will take
place is this: a change for the good—the highest good.
We are the Three Kings and we make up the threefold
flame for this planetary body!
[28-second standing ovation]
See What You Have Done for the Lord
and See What the Lord Will Do for You
Now we speak to our beloved Russian students.
We speak to our beloved students in the United States and in every
continent, and we say to you: Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! See what you
have done for the Lord. See what the Lord will do for you.
For the day is coming, and the time is coming
upon the earth when, as it were, Noah himself shall return . .
. the great lights of the centuries are returning, for these great
ones would come forth. And even though they manifest as Ascended
Masters, they would move with you in the streets of the great
cities of the world. And they will see the pain of the children
and the pain of the sick, and they will also see the abuses in
the medical profession.
Beloved hearts, those who are wounded, let them
be made whole. Let those hearts reach now for the Godhead to attain
their ascension in the Light whereby they might bring themselves
out of the levels of the earth and rise unto the vast consciousness
of Mighty Cosmos.
See, beloved, the worlds are turning. Discern
what you can and move on. Accelerate now. For truly, now is the
hour of Victory.
And Mighty Victory places his canopy over you
today. Today he is here. Today he says: "I AM come. I AM
Mighty Victory. And I will not allow this earth or any part of
it to be undone. For my legions are here until the finish!"
[46-second standing ovation]
Two Full Hours of Violet Flame Each Day
Beloved ones, it behooves us all to dedicate
two full hours each day to violet-flame dynamic decrees. This
we call for. And all the hosts of the Lord who have graduated
from earth's schoolroom have always hoped for this. Understand
that when you do it, when all of us do it, those two hours of
violet flame daily become such a momentum that that very momentum
itself will carry you unto the exaltation of your soul, unto the
manifestation of a higher way of life, even unto the alchemical
marriage of the soul with God.
O beloved, there is so much more that you can
do to bring about intense compassion, caring, understanding among
men. There is so much that you can contribute through technology—so
much that you can do each and every step of the way. Know that
this earth must be turned around.
As you have seen the upheavals in the weather,
realize that these upheavals have come from the personal upheavals
of each and every individual on this earth who has made karma.
Listen as I say this: Every individual on earth who has made karma
will pay that price, is now paying that price and has been paying
that price for karma that goes back as far as 25,800 years.
Today is a new day. If you will take seriously
the giving of two full hours of violet flame per day, you will
come to such a liberation that you will wonder why you ever had
any burdens, any distractions—anything that took you away
from your absolute God-Victory.
Therefore, beloved, see what we must do globally
for Church Universal and Triumphant. Let us understand that everywhere
in the world people must have the taste of the violet flame. For
they are parched. They know not where to go to receive that elixir
of everlasting life. And you have it, beloved.
You have this essence. You have us, the Three
Wise Men. And we carry wisdom's flame. We carry the ruby ray.
We carry levels of being you know not of. And we say to you, with
all the hosts of the Lord, with Enoch, with each and every one
ascended: Know that by your absolute determination you can, you
shall, you will have your victory.
And you will have it because you will put all
your heart and soul and mind into it. Therefore it shall come
to pass. It shall be.
[35-second standing ovation]
Now we give to you Helios and Vesta. Beloved
hearts, extend tremendous love in this moment to Helios and Vesta,
your Father-Mother God.
[23-second standing ovation]
The six-day conference Family—The Heart
of Community was held July 4 through July 9, 1998, at San Diego,
California. This dictation by the Three Wise Men was delivered
by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood, Elizabeth Clare
Prophet, on Thursday, July 9, 1998.
1. Three Wise Men. The Messenger has told us
that beginning January 6, 1998, the Three Kings, or Three Wise
Men (El Morya, Kuthumi and Djwal Kul) would sponsor all who desire
to make their ascension in this life. She announced before the
dictation that for the first time they would speak together.
2. The ruby-ray calls. These can include decree
33.00, "The Lord's Judgment by the Ruby Ray through Archangel
Chamuel and Charity," and "The Lord's Ritual of Exorcism."
Also the "Invocations to the Hierarchy of the Ruby Ray through
the Messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet" are printed in the
80.00 through 110.00 sections of the decree book, Prayers, Meditations
and Dynamic Decrees for the Coming Revolution in Higher Consciousness.

"Let the Infant of Prague be recognized
as the focus of the Manchild. Let the infant Christ Child restore
in you, my beloved, your innocence. For truly all is not lost
but you can regain that holiness of the little child. Truly to
have innocence is to have the inner sense complete of the inner
God.
"How beautiful! Could anyone ask for any
other gift at Christmas than the gift of holy innocence? May you
pray for the gift, search for it. May you ask for it. And may
you receive it according to your fervor.
"I AM Joseph, shepherd in the Church, Father
flame—if you will have me. I pray that you will come to
appreciate the embodiment of my flame as Father, for I have many
vessels and many sons to raise up. I smile upon the one and the
many.
"Yes, there is hope in the courts
of heaven. Yes, there is hope. Because you live, saints of America,
because you live and love and strive for liberty, hope is fired
in elemental life and the planet receives an extra spin from the
hand of God."

"Blessed hearts, take this mantle, for it is already appearing
in the sky. Take this mantle of Elijah descending! Take then the
opportunity to defend those who are without defense, to defend
the poor and those who are the widowed. Let the light of God that
never fails be upon you. For millions shall cry out to thee—to
thy star, to thy light—in desperation, ere the year turns.
"Therefore let us watch and pray. Let us
keep the vigil of the continents. Let us keep the vigil of the
Manchild. Let us remain close to the holy stable. Let us remain
close to the crèche. Let us realize that this oneness and
this gathering of initiates of the Brotherhood—out of the
East, out of the West, from above and below, angels and elementals—is
for the reinforcement of the Christos, for the birth of that Christos.
"My beloved, let Bethlehem and the Nativity
now be enshrined in your heart. If you desire a replica of this
Nativity—brought forth upon this altar by your own gracious
love offerings at the request of Saint Germain—should also
now be erected within your own heart at your own altar, you need
only give the sign of assent to my angels who come to establish
a sacred miniature light, a focus and forcefield of these personages
of the Godhead—seven in attendance at the birth of the Saviour,
representatives of three worlds and of the fourth.
"Thus the Saviour comes for the integration
of the worlds above and below. And those who attend his blessing
are those who will follow the path of the seven rays to their
own Christhood.
"How sacred, most sacred is the coming now
of the holy angels, who in their ministration so hallow thy heart
and thy heart’s chalice. The salutation of these angels
from your own heart to their own is also most necessary. Therefore
let us say:
"Hail, angels of the Christ Mass!
"Hail, angels of the Christ Mass!
"Thus they come. Thus they salute the Word.
Thus they adore the Christ within you.
"Beloved hearts, it is relevance as well
as reverence that we must dwell upon: the relevancy of your own
Christhood in this age, your Self-esteem, esteeming the Light
of God within your own temple. This is the great gift that you
bring to friends and family wherever you go in this hour—the
Self-esteem.
"Lo, the Word cometh!
Lo, the Word is where I AM!
O God, make me worthy.
I AM worthy.
Make me worthy.
I AM worthy.
"Thus the Omega light enfolds a planet.
And Omega’s angels attend this rebirth of Christ the King.
"Let the shining of your star, beloved hearts,
produce an equivalency of relevancy in the hearts of those who
are near you who feel the auric emanation of the entire Spirit
of the Great White Brotherhood and of the holy angels and the
saints robed in white who also gathered at the birth of Lord Jesus—who
gather at thine own birth.
"Let there be a transmittal of holy freedom!
Let the proclamation of your own lips be heard throughout the
land:
"This is the day for the appearing of the
Lord where I AM!
"I will shine forth as the sun.
"For my own mighty I AM Presence is come
down unto me
"To keep the vigil of the Christ Mass.
"Not your errors, beloved ones, but
your victories, not your diseases but your healings, not the records
of death but Life raised up will renew in you the course of your
own native path of holy innocence."

"Listen to the angels who herald the dawn of the Christ consciousness
in all mankind! Whosoever shall choose this day to serve the light
shall receive the impetus of the Christ flame —even the
matrix of the Bethlehem babe.
"As Saint Francis adored the holy child
lying in the crèche fashioned out of his own love of the
Savior, so know that the Lord God and the Cosmic Virgin have fashioned
the image of the Christ Child aborning in the hearts of humanity.
And in the retreats of the Great White Brotherhood—in
each one—there is a permanent
focus of the scene of the Mother with Child—holy,
meek, and mild—with the guardian
flame of the patron Saint Germain, whose freedom flame guards
the increase of the soul here in the folds of the garment of the
Mother.
"Angels of Christmas, come forth! Sing your
songs of praise! Make your way with angels of Uriel’s band!
Angels of the Prince of Peace, twelve legions outpicturing the
Christ consciousness of the twelve hierarchies of the sun, come
forth! And blend your energies with choirs of angels, men, and
elementals, singing, 'Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth!'
He is the promised one, the Savior of the world. The Christ comes
to every heart to champion the fires of immortality and to release
the frankincense that will purify the atmosphere of the soul.
" . . . Christmas is a time for ritual,
for the ritual of the angels of ministration and peace, service
and love’s sweet release. As you decorate your home in anticipation
of the honored guest, the Christed One, will you not include with
the manger scene that you erect a focus of the gold, the frankincense,
the myrrh—symbols of the balance
of the threefold flame—carried
by the wise men who came from the East. And will you also make
a daily round through the home, carrying the urn of sacred incense.
Oh, let it burn away the dross, the drudgery, the darkness of
a year to make way for the birth of the little one and of the
Son of the Sun!"
Note: On Christmas Eve children may wish to place bread and grape
juice near the manger scene, and after the singing of Christmas
carols and the offering of holy prayer, ask Jesus to consecrate
the portion. The children may then partake of the bread and the
juice in his honor.

"My beloved, in this hour of your contemplation
of the Word, the very Word that I AM and that you shall become,
I, too, hold the meditation of my Immaculate Heart for the birth
of the Cosmic Christ within God’s children whose time has
come.
" . . . Understand, blessed hearts, that this then is your
hour and opportunity to invoke the celebration and the reenactment
of your original birth in the original purity of God. And this matrix
of the Nativity which the holy angels have built within the secret
chamber of your own heart is now yours for that blessed experiencing
of the fullness of the joy to the world. Take then your life and
let each year be a consecration and a walk with the holy days in
the life of Jesus Christ, for the contemplation of the continuity
of the Word and his activities will surely bring to you that spiral
that begins with the holy night of the birth of the Saviour."

Nativity accounts treat giving as an important part of the Holy
Birth. Historically, the actual year
of Christ's birth is thought to be between 6 B.C. and 4 B.C.,
at the end of Herod's reign in Judea. The first mention of Christmas
as a formal Nativity feast occurred in a Roman almanac dated A.D.
336.
The Christmas star that guided the Wise Men to
Bethlehem may have been any of a number of recorded astronomical
events coinciding with the likeliest dates of that first Christmas.
Halley's Comet appeared in 12 B.C., and ancient Chinese texts
note "exploding" stars, or novas, observed in both 4
and 5 B.C. Exceptionally bright planetary conjunctions occurred
in 2, 6, and
7 B.C.; among these, the most promising candidate for the Holy
Star was the triple conjunction of Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn in
6 B.C.
The Wise Men followed the Holy Star to lay gifts,
symbolic of His life, before the Baby Jesus: gold, because He
was a king; frankincense, as he was a divine king; myrrh, to foreshadow
that His suffering and death would be our preservation.
The prophet Isaiah wrote of the coming Messiah,
"The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light
. . . " Well before the birth of Jesus, man longed for light
in the days of greatest darkness. Early Christians selected December
25th for the Nativity feast to proclaim that Jesus Christ was
the real Light of the World, the true "Son of Righteousness,"
the foretold Messiah. As Jesus later said, he had not come to
destroy the law and the prophets, but to fulfill them, just as
He fulfilled the deepest longings of human minds and hearts.
Our name for this Holy Day arises from the
old English Cristes Maesse, or Christ's Mass. |

"Every good gift and every
perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights,
with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning."—James
1:17
"It is good to be children
sometimes, and never better than at Christmas, when its Mighty Founder
was a child Himself."—Charles Dickens
"The Incarnation . . . illuminates
and orders all other phenomena, explains both our laughter and our logic,
our fear of the dead and our knowledge that it is somehow good to die,
and which at one stroke covers what multitudes of separate theories
will hardly cover for us if this is rejected." —C.S.
Lewis
"The place that the shepherds found
was not an academy or an abstract republic; it was not a place of myths
allegorized or dissected or explained away. It was a place of dreams
come true." —G.K. Chesterton
"Why is it that, next to
the birthday of the Savior of the world, your most joyous and most venerated
festival returns on this day? Is it not that, in the chain of human
events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday
of the Savior? That it forms a leading event in the progress of the
Gospel dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration of Independence
first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer's
mission upon earth? That it laid the cornerstone of human government
upon the first precepts of Christianity . . . ?"—John Quincy
Adams , July 4, 1837
