"Realize, then, that the balance of spiritual power in the earth is threatened this day in India and other nations of the East, in the Middle East, and in South America. Realize that the true intent of World Communism and all who assist it or stand by and allow it is to wipe out the living flame of the devotee by which the contact with God for the whole earth and nature kingdom is sustained.

"The lifting up of the lotus of the heart with a candle burning in the very center is that contact with the Divine One, even reaching to the very heart of Nirvana. The devotees of God have been placed in all nations because they are the living focus of the etheric retreats and of the ascended masters. As they have been removed and the cycles have turned and there has been less devotion in many quarters, so a great darkness has come upon the earth, which has been the lamentation of Mother Mary.

"Therefore, on behalf of the restoration of the lawful and wholesome focalization of the devotion of prayer and meditation of God and the power of the Word, I speak on behalf of your endeavor of a perpetual vigil of the hours to contain and turn back World Communism.

"And let those who live in Western nations, whose governments allow trade and the free use of their private corporations to transmit the greatest secrets of defense from America, take heed that you give your dynamic decrees for the exposure to the people of this condition and the reversing of the entire process. For that which is necessary to the keeping of the flame of peace must be guarded, even as cherubim keep the way of the Tree of Life.

"If those who are on a collision course with their own destiny and the death they have set in motion would take the world with them and plunge it headlong into the chaos of war, would you not rather prevent it in the hour when prevention is possible than await the day when truly all hell breaks loose for the devouring of the Light and the souls of nations?

"The Buddhas out of the East unto the West, the light of Kuan Yin, the reflection of El Morya as he ponders this political equation—these are with us tonight as we also commemorate with Jesus the Last Supper. It is a commemoration of the gathering of the representatives of the twelve tribes, even through the souls of the twelve disciples. It is a remembrance of the hour of the mission of Jesus when the apostles must go forth to deliver the Word. And indeed they did, great distances, establishing and reestablishing his light through the Middle and Far East, through the Mediterranean and those whom they blessed, taking that message far and wide.

"The power of the cup of Life, the power, then, of the chalice of thy being, is the living Grail. And this Grail may be used again for the transfer of the wine and the power of the life-essence of Jesus, and even of the Christ within you, for healing—moreover, for the turning back of that darkness and malintent of World Communism born not only of fear, but of revenge and of jealousy of the Christed nation.

"The binding of these agents of death and their exorcism from the planet is a ritual that ought to be engaged in from morning till night on Good Friday, that the murder of millions and millions and the record thereof might be expiated on this Good Friday, that they might be bound and cast out of the astral plane of the earth where they continue to focus the intent of the taking of the life of the holy innocents. This they have continued on all fronts, taking not only the life but the mind and the soul of children and youth almost in numberless numbers through drugs and chemicals and addictions and the squandering, pitifully, of the life-force. The assault is grave upon the body of God.

"I, Padma Sambhava, say to you: Awake! Awake and fulfill your destiny and know that so few have the predilection for this encounter by the Absolute Light of God with this debased evil."

"Ho! the light has come into a willing vessel. The light has entered in, O my soul. Therefore I AM Raphael Archangel, the one who has held in heaven the balance for Mary in earth.

"Lo, the Saviour is come to you midst the flaming flame of illumination. Now with illumined action, empowered by his Body and Blood, go forth.

"I would bless you as healers of men, but first thou mayest be healed, touching the waters that have been touched by an Archangel. Therefore, I begin the bringing into alignment that will enable new cups assembled in the psyche to be ready for this baptism of resurrection’s fire on Easter morn.

"I AM the guardian light, thy brother on high—and now here with thee. Thou who hast tarried to the midnight hour to behold the Lord’s coming into the temple of being, O pursuers of Truth, seekers of knowledge of the Divine Self, I give myself as presence and aura and magnetic field. I lend my Presence to my brothers and sisters here below.

"Thus, as you tarry throughout this weekend, my Electronic Presence with you (with the healing thoughtform) is set with you as you accept and will it so, beloved, that the inner blueprint might mesh with the outer manifestation and that the outer manifestation, swept up by the Holy Spirit’s Maha Chohan, might be one with the inner blueprint.

"Increment by increment, so let Christ be formed in you. To tarry with an Archangel—so be it. I would tarry with the ascendant ones.

"Beloved, the Maha Chohan would speak to you and impart his flame. This representative of the Holy Spirit has sent me in his stead to prepare vessels for his coming. Thus, before the week- end is concluded he shall speak. Therefore, with illumined action and a comfort flame thou shalt go forth. Attend his coming and his Word.

"Peace be unto you. Receive ye the Holy Ghost.

"Therefore, I counsel you to read of this Lord of the Eighth Ray and the Ninth—this one who is the Teacher of teachers of the Lords of the Seven Rays. Study his Teaching, then, on the mirror of consciousness and his dictation in that little book so released. Blessed ones, come to know the Holy Spirit and receive him.

"Thus, I am Raphael, extending warmth and love to you who have toiled and labored long in our Father’s vineyard. I give you renewed charge of wholeness and healing for the mission that is yet to begin again.

"In the heart of the Holy Spirit thou shalt thrive and prosper. And the Word itself shall prosper. And the Teaching shall go forth and the Teacher shall save that which is lost.

"Be thou the whole loaf

and know Him as I know Him and as I AM.

A bite of the Word is Communion in the All—

thus holy water, thus holy wine."

"Surely you know that there are some in the churches and throughout the earth who have elements of the Holy Spirit, for the Holy Spirit does not limit its offering to those of the Christian faith. Beloved ones, the followers of Christ do not have all the elements; for the disciplines of the Holy Spirit that are found in the East in the long traditions of the Buddhas and the Bodhisattvas are sometimes too hard for devotees in the West. Almost as children, they play and splash in the fount of Divine Love and thus have that joy of the Spirit, yet not its full mastery.

"The teachings you have, all that has come through the Holy Spirit from the Ascended Masters and Cosmic Beings, do give you the opportunity for such self-mastery. But you must take the opportunity as an exercise of free will, as an exercise of commitment to your own Inner God and not to another, as an exercise that shows your recognition that he who would desire the manifestations of the siddhis, the powers, must begin to be self-disciplined.

"The disciplining of the mind can be found in the practice of meditation. The disciplining of the emotions must be found in interaction with others. There is no more certain way to gain mastery of the emotions than to have to mingle with people from all walks of life and to always prefer to impart the flame of love and of charity toward those who do not have the flame of harmony.

"The choice is always there—to be pulled into the morasses, the cesspools, vortices, quicksands of negativity or to shun them. And always remember the words of your Lord: 'What is that to thee? Follow thou me.' In other words, forget it. Let it go. Do not become further engaged as you see your energies escalating and, with the escalation, the loss of your God-control.

"There is no more important achievement for those who desire the Holy Spirit and its gifts, even one at a time, than to be able to offer to others perpetual love, perpetual comfort, perpetual sweetness, perpetual helpfulness, compassion and charity. Charity is a word that means self-givingness. As Mother Teresa has said, 'Give until it hurts.'

"This initiation is preparatory to the crucifixion, the resurrection and the ascension. Beloved hearts, you pass through the initiation of the crucifixion because you have experienced the transfiguration. Therefore change your garments daily and see how the garments of God contain greater and greater Light.

"Understand that, infilled with Light, you can endure a planetary crucifixion and attain not only eternal life and immortality but renewed life in embodiment, such as Jesus did whereby he lived through his eighty-first year, ascending from Shamballa. You can undergo these initiations that come to the sons and daughters of God and yet remain in that place of equilibrium which you have made your own.

"Is not the forgiveness of a friend the greatest gift that you can receive—the knowledge that someone has loved you enough to forgive you?

"If fellow friends and brothers and sisters on the Path can extend forgiveness to one another, think what so great a salvation and so great a gift this Good Friday does bring to you, beloved. It is the opportunity to receive the Lord’s forgiveness from the cross when his Body
is broken for you, when his Blood is shed for the remission of sins and the repentance and forgiveness of many.

"As you have felt your heart so full of love and such a contriteness when others have forgiven your faults, can you not also share Christ’s cup of mercy with millions?

[The Maha Chohan releases the gift of Good Friday—the violet flame.]

"Showers of mercy soften hardness of heart, nonforgiveness. I pray you, one and all, if you have not forgiven brother or sister or enemy or friend or family or distant lifewaves and evolutions, do not leave this altar this night until you have knelt before your I AM Presence and taken the first step on the Path.

"That step is forgiveness: to be humble enough to receive God’s forgiveness, to be strong enough to go and sin no more, to be loving enough to forgive your brother as God has forgiven you. This is the first step on the spiritual path and the first alchemy of your life. Until you are able to take this step and to disembowel yourself of those momentums of hardness of heart, you are not a true chela on the Path.

"This is where the Path begins. It begins with the withdrawal of acts of sin and the conviction that, empowered by God, you shall go forth to the best of your striving to sin no more, to confess when you falter, to receive penance, to be penitent and to know that God wipes the stain away and wipes it fully when you have balanced the karma of the wrongful act.

"There are some among you who say they cannot forgive. Let them fast and pray and know the Lord. And then let them see his glory and experience that glory as shafts of forgiveness flashing forth from their hearts that have truly loved, for their hearts have truly been forgiven by the Lord.

"These are preparations for Pentecost. Mark them well, beloved. Cease from being proud talkers and boasters. Keep the vigil of an inner silence of communion. Keep the vigil of listening to the inner voice, which chatter overtakes and muffles. Keep the vigil, develop
the inner ear, listen to God.

"Remember the adage “Wise ones speak few words.” Ignorant ones never cease in their talking, mostly about nothing of consequence, nothing that has to do with the co-measurement: 'I AM here; the God Star is there. I intend to reach it and I shall reach it in the course of my soul’s ascending.'

"Stargazing is recommended for chelas and their children that they might gain a sense of co-measurement with the infinite. Then all things come into perspective.

"The flame of the Holy Spirit that we impart to you opens a path of discipline that you can walk, that you can be victorious in. 'For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.' You have been given much in many past ages. Thus, God holds high the rope that you must jump over. You are worthy of the high rope and you have much in your background that qualifies you to be victorious.

"Though you have the dispensation of being able to ascend in this life after having balanced only 51 percent of your karma, the Karmic Board recommends that you realize that at no time in the history of the mystery schools or of the Great White Brotherhood has it been easier for you to balance 100 percent of your karma. And this by the very grace of the Teachings and the use of the violet flame and the sacred fire that is available to you through your invocations.

"Think about graduating from earth’s schoolroom magna cum laude, beloved ones. Think of that! And think of all that you can give and do when you decide that daily transfiguration is the way to my heart and the way to having perpetual accessibility to the Holy Spirit. Think about the highest that you can achieve. Think about what is possible to you today and tomorrow. Act on it. Then increase your capacity.

"The world has need of many who will preach the message of the Great White Brotherhood accurately. The world has need of many who will strip themselves of bad habits in the four lower bodies, come clean, purify themselves and wait for the angel to place the hot coal upon the tongue that they might be cleansed, purified and readied to be apostles and prophets
and teachers, wayshowers."

"So, beloved, Elohim have come to bathe the earth in the radiance of the Lord Christ, to bathe you in that golden pink glow-ray. We have come on this occasion to celebrate the Christhood and the overcoming unto everlasting life of every son and daughter of God.

"Angels of the Sixth Ray have marked every soul upon earth who must have this Path and this Teaching. For when these souls learn to use the violet flame and have in hand the Teachings of the Ascended Masters, they will be able to accelerate their resurrection unto eternal glory.

"Blessed hearts, I ask you at the conclusion of this dictation to pray on bended knee, with the fervor of your hearts, for those souls whose fiery destiny it is to attain union with God by fulfilling their calling of the ages in this life. Their victory is necessary if earth is to meet her timetables. For those who graduate from among earth’s evolutions as Ascended Masters
and Ascended Lady Masters have the opportunity to return as guardians and mentors of humanity.

"Take unto yourselves the calling of becoming world teachers, of breaking the bread of life and offering to each one the Body and the Blood of the living Christ. Teach all to bond with
the Holy Christ Self. Teach all the path of salvation. Set the example and let your temples be the temples of the living God.

"Many are stifled in their churches. Let the doors be opened! Let the angels escort them into the New Day! Let the power of God descend and wipe out all war in the earth through this holy people!

"There is a solemnness in our meeting. There is a quietude. For we know and we prophesy that never again shall this Community be as it has been. It shall prosper. It shall expand. The gates shall open wide. And I say, those who have waited for and longed for and yearned for the direct contact with the living Christ—they shall have it!"

"Lord Gautama Buddha Comes 'Rekindling'—Resurrection Is Possible for You

"I am Gautama. I reach every heart on earth where there is a flame that does burn and every heart that once had a flame that is no longer there. I come rekindling, as Jesus does reconnect. I come, beloved, and I woo as never before souls of Light throughout the earth, for it is a moment in cosmic cycles.

"More than this we cannot say. And though you think you may have heard this before, I tell you, the moment of this hour has greater opportunity than any other you have been given in many lifetimes. May you take it and be a runner in the race and arrive at the tomb and declare the resurrected Christ and know that your declaration is not for Jesus alone but for yourself and for your children. Therefore weep not but know that the hour is come when all things are truly possible to you in God, even the initiation of the resurrection."

A New Year’s Retreat
II
The Resurrection May Not Be Postponed
“Save the Soul and Seal the Self in God”
The Thoughtform for the Decade of the 1990s:
A Multidimensional Map of Planet Earth

The veil in the temple is drawn. Thus, the profane may no longer look upon the Holy of holies.

I, Gautama, come for the sealing of a decade and a century and many centuries of opportunity. I come in the hour when resurrection’s fires can no longer be withheld: the power of the resurrection [flame can no longer be withheld from the planetary body], beloved. And [the effect of] this flame upon the environment where it descends may be comparable to the energy released in the splitting of the atom.

By resurrection’s flame not only was the stone rolled away but, beloved, boulders were cleaved asunder, the mountains moved, the thunder and the lightning descended; and that which was mortal was set aside as Jesus walked the earth to complete his life span and service, fully the embodiment of the Spirit of the Resurrection. The blessed one, as the Son of man, did demonstrate what must be demonstrated [by the evolutions of] the planet in this hour.

Thus, beloved, [know that] such unpreparedness [as you see on the part of the vast majority of the people of earth] for the resurrection experience may itself be the cause of cataclysm or war or turmoil or disease outcropping when resurrection’s fires [are released]. Understand that the nonpreparedness of a humanity at the conclusion of 25,800 years of cycles of the coming of the Buddhas and the Bodhisattvas must now be dealt with. <1>

It is not that calamity may not be postponed. It is that the resurrection may not be postponed! And the Second Coming of Maitreya and of Jesus Christ will be in the hearts of all.

Blessed ones, the resurrection cannot save that which does not present itself [vibrationally] as the equivalency of the resurrection. You must provide the negative polarity, the Omega, [for the positive polarity, the Alpha,] of the resurrection flame and thus you will be fused to Christ when that resurrection fire does descend.

The Lord God has said that those who are to be saved must be sealed. But lest you think that the ritual of the sealing of the servants of God in their foreheads with the Emerald Matrix through the right hand of the Messenger can be the fullness of the sealing, I come to speak to you now of the self-sealing. You must have the sealing of the self, beloved, so that you may receive the sealing that comes by the Seventh Ray, by the ray of Saint Germain through that Emerald Matrix.

I give you, then, until the morrow to truly seal the self by innermost devotion as you seek to become your Christ, [and by prayer to the Holy Spirit who “itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered,” as Paul said]. <2> Seal yourself with the right hand upon the forehead and upon the crown [chakra] and the heart. Seal the body as the biding place of the Lord Christ. Invoke resurrection’s fire, beloved, which will only come to those who have forgiveness [for themselves as well as for their fellow servants in Christ].

Thus, the beginning and the ending of the mission of the Lord—the forgiveness of the waters of the human consciousness till they become the wine of the Spirit and the spiritual consciousness <3>—must be that “this mortal must put on immortality, this corruptible must put on incorruption.” <4>

Therefore in the cycle of the night and the day may you come to the point of embracing the Spirit of the Resurrection by fearlessness flame . . . fearlessness flame . . . fearlessness flame: the very presence of Divine Love. Divine Love will embrace the Spirit of the Resurrection, that great being of God from the Central Sun who may seal you if you first seal yourself.

I give you, then, the two most dangerous points [of vulnerability] on the path of initiation. The [first is the soul] being out of alignment with the will and the law of God on the four o’clock line—and with God as Love, as Wisdom, as Power. [The initiations of the flame of God-Obedience charted on this line in polarity with the flame of God-Vision on the ten o’clock line] involve the use of the All-Seeing Eye of God to behold the Divine Lawgiver and to embrace Him. [It is spiritual blindness caused by selfishness, self-love and self-pity (charted on the ten o’clock line) that produces] the out-of-alignment state with my heart as I also sit on [the four o’clock] line waiting, waiting for you to come into my heart of Taurus.

I AM the Buddha, with Godfre, keeping this flame for you, beloved. Do not circumvent this [10/4 axis] any longer. By the violation of the All-Seeing Eye of God through the ignorance, [or the ignoring,] of the Law—by your failure to study it or by your defiance of the Law, having knowledge of it yet going against it—you may still lose everything though you feel quite safe and content in our Western Shamballa. This, then, must needs be corrected.

Blessed hearts, I pray you will seek Cyclopea’s All-Seeing Eye of God to correct misconceptions, misstatements, misalignments. Give Cyclopea a twenty-four-hour cycle to answer a round of decrees to that mighty Elohim of the Fifth Ray to enlighten you, to correct your vision that you might see what you should see. Each time you decide to cross the line of the Law [of Love], beloved, give a round of Cyclopeas and see what you see in twenty-four hours before deciding to go ahead with your ill-conceived plans that may seem so right in the moment.

Now, beloved, the second [point] of vulnerability by which you may also lose all is the eleven o’clock line. Whereas God-Obedience is the key that unlocks the Western Shamballa, so that flame of God-Victory (charted on the eleven o’clock line) does unlock the door to the Retreat of the Divine Mother. [For the Divine Mother] does not receive anyone, no matter what their supposed standing in life, who yet retains the momentums of resentment or the need for revenge or retaliation and their corollary, that despicable state of [self-]ignorance which sinks into envy and jealousy [for want of that self-knowledge in Christ which knows that all things are possible in God to the one who knows himself as the manifestation of God].

Have you known the story, then, of the ancient teacher [Bodhidharma] who when he [had transmitted the patriarchship of his lineage to] the best of all his followers, his chief disciple and exponent of the Law, was on the morrow poisoned by another disciple who was jealous of that appointment? Think of that, beloved! Think of such a karma [for the slaying of the Guru,] which comes from the poison of ignorance—[the ignorance that does not see that if one upholds the Teacher today,] one may be on the morrow the chosen one. <5>

Now, forgiveness has much to do with the correction of the misuses of the brightest flames of God-Victory and God-Obedience, forgiving oneself on the one hand for one’s out-of-alignment state [and, on the other hand], forgiving God for one’s plight [of non-victory–being willing to admit that one is always] the victim of one’s own free will and karma, [rather than blaming another, even God, for one’s shortcomings].

Forgiveness [invoked for the transmutation of all misqualified energy] on the four o’clock line, beloved, is such a tremendous gift; for on this line you send intense violet rays of mercy to all the transgressors, to all the enemies, to all the fallen ones, and suddenly they are cut from you as the sword of the Buddha cuts the rope that has bound you to them by [your own] nonforgiveness of self and others and [your own] out-of-alignment state.

Beloved ones, I have shown this action to the Messenger during your prayers for forgiveness unto others. [I have shown her how] the Bodhisattvas of Maitreya and his angels have taken their curved swords and cut the ropes, cut your ties to the fallen ones who have wronged you. But you have truly paved the way [for this activity of mercy] by sending such intense and all-consuming mercy from your heart [to all who have ever wronged you]. When the rope is cut, beloved, they fall into the abyss of their own unmerciful hearts.

Thus, you see, by [tricking you into] feeding that momentum of the misqualification of the eleven o’clock line, feeding the sense of resentment, deep-seated, for wrongs that others have committed against you, the fallen ones have tricked you into remaining tied to them, [so that you are] continually burdened by these records, continually revolving what might have been had someone not done this or that to you.

Many cords are cut. Continue to make the call; for we would see you fly as the bird of mercy’s flame.

Blessed hearts, forgive your Holy Christ Self for being intolerant of your dweller-on-the-threshold and forgive the Messenger for being the perpetual challenger of that dweller. You would do well [to do this], beloved, for by forgiving your Christ Self and the Messenger you would then find in your life the full momentum of [both your Christ Self and the Messenger] to assist you in so many ways.

Do not put giant rubber tubes around yourself to distance yourself and protect yourself from the deliverer but take the part of the deliverer yourself! Defend the deliverer, your Holy Christ Self. Defend the Messenger’s right to challenge your not-self. And you will find that working together with both, you shall defeat that adversary and be O so glad that you did!

Thus you see, beloved, it is most amusing, but not always so, that the Guru is found in the position of having to declare war and to fight not only against the dweller but against the individual himself who refuses to take the side of the deliverer. Thus, two wars are being eternally waged by those who come with the flame of the Saviour: the war to rescue the soul from the darkest self and the war against the carnal mind or perhaps the intellect that does rather champion the dweller than the soul.

Thus it does seem at times a thankless task. But, beloved ones, we have seen this for long, long centuries. We have come to be grateful for small gifts and inches of progress as long as those inches are retained.

We pray that you consider [1990 to be] a year of Maitreya and of Maitreya’s coming into your temple and into your life. Maitreya, being the representative of the Cosmic Christ, beloved, comes for no less purpose than to slay the anti-Cosmic Christ. Thus, you see, Armageddon does extend across planetary systems and even galaxies.

Expect no hilarious reception from the world and do not be shocked, dismayed, saddened or pulled this way and that emotionally at the world’s reactions [to your activities]. They will mock while they have mockery to vent, while they have a press they are in control of or [the media networks or] other areas of [communication]. Do not be amazed. Be amused and move on. They have their day. And such small satisfaction do they derive, can anyone derive, from sarcasm, from mockery of another’s religion or the prophets in the land.

“What is that to thee? Follow thou me.” <6> It is all foreknown. They must play their parts. [They must exercise their free will. But in the end they will pay the piper.] And as they squeak out their final attempt to ridicule the Lord within you, know that for some it is the last gasp that they can muster. Such a minor manifestation, beloved. To think that for this they sell their souls and have done so for so long, for these meager titillations, as they have [their day <7> and] their chuckles.

Precious ones, no one who is real in God would exchange for Divine Reality in eternity such a paltry nothingness as that which marches across the type of the newspapers of the world [in place of Truth]. We have better things to talk about this night, and may you also have better things to think about and to lend the energies of your feeling worlds to as you come across such manifestations.

May you not be bruised or hurt, painful as it is to be opposed continually by representatives of the so-called government of the area. They take their stabs as well but your hearts are untouchable. Your hearts are untouchable, beloved! For the hour has struck and you must move on.

[Forgive seventy times seven, then, and be comforted by the counsel of the apostle Paul:

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.] <8>

I say, then, O thou glorious one from out the Great Central Sun, <9> I AM come for the opening of the era of the resurrection and the chemicalization of a world. May all understand that this has taken place before and that it will take place again. And our goal is that with each round there might be a subtle gradation of increase of Light and that the graduates from earth’s schoolroom might now achieve their victory in a cycle that is determinately for that victory.

Blessed hearts, I tell you there is not one among you who has not been waiting for thousands upon thousands of years for the opportunity that is at hand to enter the resurrection spiral; [it is] an opportunity that you have not had for a long, long time. This opportunity was renewed in the physical octave with the coming of Jesus Christ, with Maitreya as his Guru and sponsor.

Therefore, beloved, [what a joy it is] to know that the blessed one, Jesus, did walk the earth in the resurrection flame from the hour when he did quit the area of Palestine, did take his leave for other assignments and ultimately did finish out that beautiful life on earth at the age of eighty-one in the power of the nine and the nine-times-nine and the three-times-three. Such a beautiful fulfillment, beloved! All of these years the earth received the anchoring [of his resurrection flame] through the mountain chains and the waters, through the fastnesses of the Himalayas.

Thus, the Lord and the Saviour did fulfill all things, even the fullness of the law of the resurrection, that you might follow in his footsteps. Thus did the blessed one abide in Kashmir. Thus did the blessed one ascend from the very heart of Shamballa.

Know this, beloved, unto every one of you is given this opportunity. Yet [is it not surprising that] those of you who have had this Teaching for many years have not understood the threading of the eye of the needle by forgiveness flame, by resurrection’s flame and all in between that it takes to arrive at this goal of the mastery [of the self]? Thus, though the Teaching be present and the Path be made plain and the heart be desirous, you have in some instances left off of the very first principles of the resolution of your soul with your Christ Self, of the resolution of your soul with all others. Are these [first steps] not the very [rudiments] of the Path?

Some of you think you have this resolution, beloved, but I see the eyes that lack the luster of a fiery Christhood, [the tell-tale sign] of a Light squandered, of a spiritual pride that begets spiritual blindness. [Thus blinded as to the causes of the poor plight of the lesser self,] you do not see how the denial of love for the brother, for the sister, for the Teacher, for all things [of the Creation by Elohim] is depriving you of fulfilling this victory.

Now take to heart my words and seek to seal yourselves this night. For I would send to you on the morrow once again, and for a final once again, beloved, the opportunity for the physical sealing of the third eye by the Emerald Matrix. This will be the conclusion of New Year’s Day following the dictations of El Morya and Serapis Bey.

Thus, those who seal themselves will receive a sealing, a true sealing that is for the saving of their souls. But, that it accomplish the saving of the soul, each one must also save his own soul. Thus, you have two assignments: save the soul and seal the self in God, in Love. May you take this cycle of hours as though it were 25,800 years and compress into it your absolute love, your uncompromising love, for your God; and through that love, melt away, simply melt away any residual nonforgiveness or resentment toward any part of life, beginning with yourself, extending to your past lives, to all parents, authority figures, teachers, until you reach the point [on the track of time] when you did not forgive Maitreya, when you began to resent him and therefore began to set up your justification for the rejection of Maitreya and the Mystery School. Thus, beloved ones, it is usual that when the individual leaves off [the service of] such a one as Maitreya or a real and living Guru, one begins to stack up the reasons why that one is not fit to hold that office and that mantle.

You have come full circle, beloved. To forgive Maitreya you must forgive yourself. To forgive yourself you must forgive Maitreya. For the law of cosmos is binding and that law says that where you have left off [the service] of the true and living Guru in any life whatsoever, when you come to the place that you desire to take up the Path again you must go back to the feet of that Christed One, take those lessons again, confess that Christ lives in that temple and thereby immediately know that the Christ-potential also lives in you.

To deny the Christ in any part of life, as you know, results in the vacating of your own temple by that Christ. Thus, even to deny [the Christ of] these little ones, the children in your midst or anyone, one who may not even have the measure of a chela, let alone the Guru, is to stop one’s path completely. <10>

Many who imagine, therefore, that they make progress [on the Path] do not. And the stumbling block [is still there lying on the road at] an ancient point in time. And all things have ceased to evolve, though one may give the appearance of having accrued to oneself intellectual accomplishments, success and many lessons learned by the bitter path of experience, of karma and the exercise of free will; yet always [these are routes taken] in the avoidance of the shortest distance between two points, which is the Guru-chela relationship.

Blessed ones, there is no time left. Therefore, we create out of the cycle from this moment to the morrow an eternity for you, for your own inner reckoning. May you take it and truly come to the point of true inner resolution by Love that casts out all fear, fear to be close, so very close, to one’s God–[for fear] that one’s God will consume that cherished unreality of the unreal self.

To be unafraid of this process is truly the first step [on the Path]. Whether of Zen, whether of the thought of Confucius or Lao-tzu, whatever the path, beloved, fearlessness, fearlessness as Divine Love, must give way to the fullness of mercy’s flame.

Be merciful unto your God. Let your God consume [the unmerciful self]. Let your God perform the surgery that you will never [be able to] perform upon yourself in a million years. Let your God perform it as you would submit to the best surgeon in the world if you were told on the morrow that you had a cancer and in order to live you must part with some precious portion of your own flesh. Sometimes it is necessary to excise something of the self, [whether of the body, the mind or the spirit,] in order to move on in the cycles of the renewal of everlasting Life. <11>

Blessed ones, a being of Light from the Central Sun does deliver to me the thoughtform for the year 1990. It is the thoughtform not only for this year but for this decade and some cycles beyond.

This thoughtform, beloved, is truly a cosmic masterpiece! For this being does unveil something that there are not words in the English language to describe. It is a device, shall we say, that does illustrate in three and four dimensions, through a great sphere, every step of transformation through which the earth body and its evolutions must pass in order to come to the New Day when the resurrection flame may once again be the option of the embodied Lightbearers.

Blessed ones, increment by increment of change may be dialed on this great sphere that is a many-dimensional map of the earth body, showing the earth from the very center to extended levels of the atmosphere and beyond into that space that is around the planet. Thus, by using this very complex computer, if you would call it that, you may dial to the present moment, to any month or day of the year of this period and see what the Light requires as transmutation, as transfiguration, as change and see how the earth does respond to that step-up and what, then, may be the consequences.

Since the element of free will is at hand, one can see what would be the difference if certain percentages of the lifewaves of earth did embody the flames of God, how this would make the difference in what would transpire or what would be the power of chemicalization and the abruptness or the smoothness [of the process]. Therefore you may dial in the consequences of many choices [and know by a projection into the future exactly what the consequences of humanity’s exercise of free will might be].

This is the type of instrument that one would see in the retreat of Cuzco <12> or in the God Star, Sirius. Now it is placed within the retreat of Cuzco and, as you know, only Ascended Masters frequent this retreat. It is there for the use of the Ascended Masters in guiding the humanity and the evolutions of this planet through their course. But its very presence in the earth means, beloved, that by meditation, by inner attunement, you may gain an inner awareness of these cycles.

Lend yourselves to them, lend your decrees to them and see how you can be instrumental in the very best outcome that can be admitted. It is a thoughtform, beloved, immensely useful to the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood and hence to you as chelas of the Ascended Masters.

Powerful angels of Light of Surya transport this instrument to the location prepared for it in Cuzco’s retreat. From time to time you will receive dictations giving you the awareness of where the planet is in this process of transformation.

I am placing a point of Light, a particle of Light of myself in the secret chamber of your heart, by leave of your soul’s free will and of your Holy Christ Self, to establish a certain point of contact, a certain increase of energy, of helpfulness as well as a [nucleus of] Teaching that perpetually emanates [the awareness of your Inner Reality; the illumination from this nucleus] does suffuse the inner being, giving you a sense of self-knowledge and well-being.

Self-knowledge is the key, beloved. Few have it. Many think they have it. And amongst the population very few seek it. They are more concerned with their awareness of others [and with others’ awareness of them. And what people think of them is of far greater concern to them than what God thinks of them or what they know to be the true and the false of their own identity].

Therefore know the mind of self. Know the nature of self. Know what is the measure of the flame of self. Some of you think you know these three, but you do not know them. Either you overestimate or you underestimate. Be confident in the point of Light that is the point of your Christhood and the particle of Light that I give you [as a source of] some sense of co-measurement and an easier attunement with my heart.

This night I minister to all lifestreams upon earth no matter what their evolution. I must tend to this, beloved.

I have given you the keys whereby you can fulfill the resurrection for the rest of your life as Jesus Christ did. Beloved ones, take these keys from my heart. Take them. I am not ashamed to say to you, I beg you to take them. For I know the time frames. And the time frames into the future when I may offer you this opportunity again would seem to you as almost infinite. Therefore, I beg you to take these keys now. I may yet put on my [saffron] robe and carry my begging bowl [up and down the highways of the earth] for this purpose, beloved, the saving of a single soul and the many among you.

Blessed ones, may I present to you as I take my leave of you the Lord Buddha Jesus Christ, the Lord Buddha Kuthumi, who stand before you fully arrayed in their Buddhahood and [fully capable of] taking you on the long, long yet very short journey to your own Buddhahood.

It is a question of perspective, is it not?

Receive my Sons, beloved, as I withdraw to my service.
