DICTATION: Annual Christmas Eve Address
by Beloved Lanello – December 24, 1996
DICTATION TRANSCRIPT
In the Sanctuary of the Soul
In the sanctuary of the soul I greet you, my beloved. Come, then, for the soul that is naked must be clothed and that clothing must be the seamless garment.
Remember the loss of thy immortality long, long ago. Remember that thou art in the earth to regain thy immortality.
The soul is fragmented. The soul may be lost. Therefore the soul must be strengthened, and the stream of eternal life must flow through the veins and the arteries of your beings. If today you are mortal and tomorrow you would be immortal, then there are exercises you must do and there are practices you must set aside that are of the earth, earthy, and that take you nowhere except to underground waters that are toxic.
Come, then, and find the river of life. Drink freely from its waters.
Know, then, beloved, that all who have come to the lowly estate of earth’s octaves are there because they lost their flame of immortality, for it was stolen by fallen angels. Having lost the flame of immortal life, they have allowed themselves to enter into not-so-good conditions or states of consciousness.
Whether you are accelerating on the Path by leaps and bounds or you divert your attention to worldly things, realize that the things of this world, including your four lower bodies, are transient. Take into account that almost all that is of the visible self will never be the same self again, for the transfiguration, the resurrection and the ascension will take you far beyond the levels wherein you reside here below.
Cast Outworn Concepts of Self into the Sacred Fire
It is wondrous to know the infinity of God. Yes, it is wondrous to know his liberation and his dominion whereby you may move through the sun and the stars, visiting and revisiting earth, yet exploring new dimensions, expanding rings of awareness, until the eye can no longer see how expansive is that circle of awareness that you carry in the Atman, in the seed of light. Yet that seed does not open, for you have not applied the necessary heat of sacred fire for the opening of that point of light, which is your immortality.
This is a season of conclusions. This is an hour to contemplate: “What shall I accomplish in the months and years to come? What may I conclude in the remaining hours of the year?” Prepare for the coming cycle by casting outworn concepts of self into the sacred fire.
Remember that you are on earth to claim the flame of your immortality. But the threefold flame, which is the divine spark within you, is not yet sufficient to seal your immortality. You must balance your threefold flame and then expand it.
Find Your Point of Attunement with God
Seek well your point of attunement with God whereby the strength that is in you is married to the strength of God. Find this strength as a deep well within your being. Find it, beloved, for in finding it, you will conquer all things and you will conquer self. You will change the world and touch millions of souls.
I am grateful that you have found yourself a partner in El Morya so that you might concentrate on alleviating world conditions. Know that we the Ascended Masters will gladly assist you as you deliberate personal and planetary burdens when you come to the fork in the road and ask yourself: “Which way shall I go–to the left? to the right? Or shall I take another road that has not as yet been carved?”
The superb sense of being in God: this is what you will keep of the years, the decades, the centuries, the lifetimes that have come and gone. Indeed, what is left but that divine spark, though imbalanced in most of you and too small to carry you to the Great Central Sun?
I AM Giving Birth to My Immortal Soul
This imbalance must give you pause, beloved, for you have not come to this place to sacrifice for naught. Yes, you have come to sacrifice, for you have seen his star in the East. You have known the Causal Body of your Lord and Saviour. You have intensified and internalized the magnificence of that star.
And yet somehow it escapes you and you sink back into your mortality, willing to dream that some Ascended Master will come along and give you a spin, and suddenly you will be on your way up the mountain, like the great patriarchs of old who held the flame in their hearts and ascended to God.
You went down the mountain and allowed the fallen angels to lead you astray by their treachery and intrigue and all of their offerings. Is this not the route of mortality? Is this not the route of old age, disease and death?
One cannot ultimately overcome mortality unless one has taken the moments and hours of life and said: “If I have but a thimble cup of everlasting life this day, then I shall determine with all of my being to have a mighty chalice of sacred fire at the end of my service in this lifetime. I will make my ascension. God has ordained it. I shall ratify it. I have the keys. I understand the Teachings. I can put my life together and become an immortal.”
This is the goal, beloved. Do not think it comes automatically but understand that the travail of giving birth to an immortal soul is as a woman giving birth to a child.
Oh, the Whiteness of His Glory!
Know that for all you shall accomplish and all you shall be you must tend the eternal flame. So intense is the fire of God’s love in the intelling, indwelling personhood of God, in the mighty action of the Power, Wisdom and Love of God himself, that his flame can enfire you with the ennoblement of the fine lines that come together in the heart of Justinius and Serapis Bey and Archangel Gabriel.
Oh, the whiteness of his glory! Oh, the whiteness of his glory! As you look out upon the whiteness of the snow, know that its crystals, its tiny mirrorlike particles reflect back to you what you have known from the Beginning, where you have gone in the middle and how you shall arrive in the Ending.
Rejoice in the whiteness of being. Rejoice to be stripped of your garments that you might earn the robe of righteousness, that you might follow in the footprints of Melchizedek, Archangel Zadkiel and the entire priesthood of the Seventh Ray. Know these things, beloved. Know, as Abraham knew, we seek no continuing city here. For ours is the celestial city, the City Foursquare in the etheric octave.
Do you not sense every now and then that you have touched the walls of the City Foursquare and that you have seen through those walls and beyond them to the angels and the saints who abide in the celestial city? Have you not seen them when you were in other states of consciousness, when you were escorted there while you were out of the body?
Contemplate the Dimensions of Your Being
Contemplate the dimensions of your being. What are these dimensions? Are they vapory? Do they amount to something or do they amount to nothing? Are they the building blocks of the superior self? Are they a fitting chalice, drawing down that self, who is the Holy Christ Self and the I AM Presence? If you would achieve your ascension in this life, beloved, then I say, “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
I have known you throughout the ages. Yet so recently have I made my transition. Thus, I walk among you truly with the understanding of your burdens. I listen to your heartbeat. I listen to the pain you may not acknowledge but which is there. I listen to the grieving of souls who must suddenly meet their transition to the next level–suddenly but not so suddenly, for does not free will design the destiny of being? Aye, indeed it does. And though we may think we are the victims of fate, we are, on the contrary, victims of our own uses and abuses of free will.
The Elementals Could Go on Strike
I tell you, in the physical octave nothing is stable. Think of it. Do you know of anything that is stable, that will not be gone in a day or a decade or a hundred years? You can lean on the legs of a piano, and if the termites have been there, watch out. You can lean on a house that Jack built and it may collapse or tumble in a storm or hurricane.
Blessed ones, the elementals and their hierarchs have reached their limit. They cannot and will not bear the sins of the world any longer. We call upon you to pray for them, for when they can no longer do their jobs, you can anticipate planetary cataclysm. It is in your best interest, then, to remember the elementals, to walk and talk with them, to call to their four hierarchs and to encourage them, to give them hope and stand by them. Otherwise you will see them giving up one by one. For as you know, they do not have the flame of eternal life to sustain and strengthen them.
What would happen if all the earth should become a place where the beings of the elements have gone on strike, saying: “We can no longer deal with the mountains of karma and polluted substance that mankind is dumping in the waters, in the earth, in the air!” Is it not true that you rely on the elementals to purify and make available to you the water, the air, the fire, even the fire of the sun that you need?
Walk the Earth as a Christed One
Earth is a fragile planet, as you know. And you have heard rumblings in the earth in diverse places. Be not concerned about this, beloved. But be concerned that you have entered the secret chamber of the heart, that naught has come between you and your Bridegroom, that your Holy Christ Self draws you, the soul, to his heart, to his being, until one day you merge with your Holy Christ Self and walk the earth as a Christed one.
When this happens, you will know that the time is drawing nigh for a great victory, for the movement of the Holy Spirit in your life and for entering into higher dimensions of consciousness. For then you will truly be a son, a daughter of God walking the highways of the earth.
Come to the realization, then, that this world is a chimera. What is there that will remain? What is there, beloved?
I speak to you in this wise because I perceive that each one of you has a narrow train of thought, a direction you are taking. And you are caught up in your service, your responsibilities, in what you must do for your Community. And pretty soon this becomes a momentum, and that momentum perpetuates what is here below when it ought to accelerate here below that which is above and which you may tap from your Causal Body and your I AM Presence.
So you see, you can become so embroiled in this world that you actually believe it is real. Well, is it real or is it a dream? Do you sometimes wake up and feel that you have been somewhere else where life is truly transcendent and eternal, where beings are immortal?
You have been there. You have studied there. You have brought back from the retreats the sense of what it is like to regain the immortality that fallen angels have stolen from you. And, beloved, you must confess to yourself openly that you follow them of your own free will.
Co-Measurement with the Archangels
Now, of your own free will, follow the Messenger. By the power of the Seven Archangels, challenge all of the fallen angels who must be removed from the earth in this time.
Recognize, then, that in these times very few people on earth understand that they may command angels in the name of Almighty God to do their bidding in the cause of righteousness and in the cause of the victory of the battle of Armageddon. Remember this. You are the few in the earth who understand that you can share a co-measurement with Archangels, that in the name of God you can command the Archangels and their troops to go forth and purge the earth of those whose time has come to be taken to other planetary homes.
Many have not understood Paul’s statement “Know ye not that we shall judge angels?” They do not realize that God has empowered his sons and daughters to challenge, to bind and to bring the fallen angels to judgment. Therefore you are a handful of very precious gems in the sands of the seashore—gems, beloved, because you know truth from error.
You know what evil is and you know within your own interior being, as God so affirms it in you, that you must make those judgment calls to remove the evildoers from the planet. Having done so, you may earn a tremendous glory and a tremendous victory and then go on to balance 100 percent of your karma.
Open Your Heart
Now, beloved, I would commune with your hearts. Open your hearts to me and I will give you the elixir of my heart. Do not be afraid. I shall give you of my heart even as I gave you of my heart when I was with you in embodiment. I never closed my heart to you. Do not close your heart to yourself or to those nearest you.
Open your heart this day with courage. Open your heart. Let the heart be wounded. Is not the mother’s heart wounded, even the Mother of Christ? Let the heart be wounded. Let it know pain. And continue to go deeper and deeper and deeper in the well of your own being.
Do not be afraid, beloved, for the love that you give will be multiplied as you bless the world. I opened my heart, beloved, and I kept it open. Though it may pain you, I say, open your heart and give of yourself to others who need you, who need all that you can give to them. For they are impoverished, they are burdened.
I did not fear this, for I knew that the opening of the heart and the giving of the heart is truly an event that comes when one is nearer and nearer to the heart of Jesus, the heart of Mary. Understand this. Let God make you in his image and likeness, which you were in the Beginning. Let him remold you and remake you in the Ending.
Have you truly found the way to re-create yourself? Not really, beloved, not really in the profoundest sense. Yet the way is plain. Give and give again and again, and let millions of souls be healed by your own immaculate heart.
I AM Lanello. I have been with you through the ages. You have been my fathers, my mothers, my children. We have been as one. Now go forth to a world that is very, very dark. Brighten it with the light of your transcendent being and know forever thereafter the transcendent joy of giving yourself wholly unto others who are the impoverished ones and who do not know their Inner Christ.
Smile with me, beloved, for the whole world is maya. I shall smile a greater smile when you exit the world of maya and enter true being.
I am with you always, your beloved Lanello.
END
This dictation by Beloved Lanello was given by the Messenger for the Great White Brotherhood, Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Christmas Eve, Tuesday, December 24, 1996, at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana.
Ascended Master Lanello
The ascended master Lanello was recently embodied on earth as the twentieth-century mystic and messenger for the ascended masters, Mark L. Prophet. In this and in many previous embodiments, he and his twin flame, the messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet, have served the Great White Brotherhood and sought to set forth the true teachings of Christ.
Ascended Master Lanello’s Ascension Day
Mark Prophet – the Ascended Master Lanello
Mark Prophet ascended on February 26, 1973 and is known as the ascended master Lanello.
Behold! I AM Everywhere in the Consciousness of God!
Mark Prophet opened the door to heaven for us all. That’s how we know what we know about the Brotherhood and the path of the ascension. This is the meaning of the thread of contact.
He held it for us and never let go of it until he could place it in our hands and trust us to not let go. This is the meaning of hierarchy and the lineage of all who go before and after us. This thread is fragile and so is the grasp upon it.
“Behold! I AM everywhere in the consciousness of God!” That’s the mantra of Lanello. And one day you can wake up and be there—not in the afterlife but right here and now, forever there and ever here. You can live in two worlds at once—in God’s consciousness and yet fulfilling your physical responsibilities on earth.
This mantra is, was and ever shall be the communion of the saints that transcends all octaves and time and space, worlds without end: “Behold! I AM everywhere in the consciousness of God!”
Mark’s Hope: Contact Your Higher Self
Mark’s hope for us was and is that our souls will rise in a burst of joy and creativity through the discovery that we can truly contact the Mind of God through the Christ Self and the sacred fire raised to the crown chakra. His hope for us is that the Mind of God in us will be the open door to eternity and to the fulfillment of the spirals of our Causal Bodies here on earth.
Why Mark Prophet Ascended
One of the key reasons that Mark took his ascension was to see to it that the children of the light upon earth might traverse the dark abyss of the astral plane and arrive at their proper position, either in the etheric plane or in the octaves of light.
He wanted to collect all of us together. And the only way he could do it was to be everywhere in the consciousness of God. And so he took his leave of us and ascended.
Mother gave us a message of hope after Mark’s ascension. She said, “I know that through the sacred heart of Jesus and the immaculate heart of Mother Mary, Mark, as Lanello, has a direct tie to every soul of light on earth. I know that you can pull upon his mantle at any hour of the day or night and speak to him. Tell him of a need, personal or planetary, and he will answer that need to the fullest extent that the Great Law will allow.
“And I know that he is as fiercely dedicated to liberating each one of you here today and all who shall ever read these words as he was and is to liberating my soul unto the final victory of the ascension.
“For those of you who are beginning to understand the meaning of the fusion of heaven and earth through the Presence of Lanello, know that you have a Guru that you can hug. Know that you can hold on to that mantle and that you can tug. Know that you can talk to him, whether about the most mundane and simple things or about the most complex laws of the universe.
“He could explain the stars and he could point out all of the plots and ploys of the fallen ones designed to make us indulge our human consciousness and to detract us from the path of life.”
Mark Prophet Loved People

Lanello is a man who always loved life and loved people. There is nothing that would have delighted him more than to have remained in embodiment for two- or five-hundred years going all over the planet, loving people and talking to them. He just loved to talk to people and never ceased to be interested in people of all sorts.
Mark used to travel across the country. And wherever he would go—a café, a drug store, a gas station—he would stop and talk to the working people. He loved the working people. Mark Prophet is the guru of the little people, the farmers, the laboring classes all over America—as well as everybody else’s guru.
And so for him, to ascend was the ultimate sacrifice so that we could arrive at this point to serve in our mission. Mark worked hard and he worked long. He loved enough to master himself. Self-mastery is the key to adeptship. And Mark certainly demonstrated this.
Lanello, our Ever-Present Guru
And now as the Ascended Master Lanello, he still holds this love for us all. You may contact the magnanimous heart of Lanello, our Ever-Present Guru, through playing the melody “Greensleeves.” The keynote of his identity is contained within the notes of this musical rendition.
Those of us who knew Mark have formed the habit of writing letters to Lanello, telling him of our wants and desires, our burdens, our hopes and wishes. We place these short notes either in our copy of Climb the Highest Mountain or in the Bible and leave them for Lanello to fill. And do you know, he answers almost all our ordinate desires—those that are in accordance with the will of God.
The answer is not always instantaneous, but it is fun to look back over our lists after a period of time and see how many have been answered. Perhaps you would like to join us in this exercise. It is not too late!
In Lanello we have our model for victory. He is our living Guru. Always remember that he is saying to you and to me, “You, too, can make it if you TRY! You can make it in this very life!”
Saint Germain has told us, “Death is either the doorway to infinity or a point of reentry whereby man must eventually return to the finite to undo and redo and to finish that which he has left undone.”
For Mark Prophet, death and hell were swallowed up in Christ’s victory. Truly, Mark lived and died and ascended for his principles and his loves, which were God’s. He exchanged the body terrestrial for the body celestial (1 Cor. 15:40) that we all might live. We have come to know one who walked among us, who knew God and who became one with his everlasting consciousness. He bids us do the same. He takes our hand. He shows us the way.
And yet, Mark traveled a long and hard road in this embodiment to find his way. It was not easy. He began a long, personal search, with many experiences and great disappointments in searching for God.
He found that the religions of the world, and even the alternative movements, were not always what he thought they should be. But he kept right on searching. And somewhere along the line, the Ascended Master El Morya made his appearance. We have all heard, “When the pupil is ready, the Teacher appears.”
