I welcome you into the domain of the
Brothers of the Golden Robe
And I welcome you into the domain of the Brothers of the Golden Robe. And our eyes are fixed upon the purposes of the supreme. And we know that those of you whose hearts have cherished the divine ideal will welcome us. And so in the mutuality of Christ expansion we shall share a moment together and with the Brothers and the sense of brotherhood.
When you examine the fabric of the world’s thought today and likewise turn the torch of your attention upon mankind’s feelings, you will carefully observe that there is a great gulf fixed between the feelings and the thoughts of men. And in a spirit most incongruent with reality there are too many riptides of feeling and too great an expression of intellectual “brittality” for mankind to be able to make the so-needed progress in this interim of waiting while the brothers of the Great White Lodge are patiently waiting for mankind to cool their differences and in a fond sense of hope for mankind are holding the immaculate concept while the consciousness of man, like the consciousness of Nero of old, fiddles while Rome burns.
The tyrants of the past are replaced today by neighbors over the back fence. And yet it does not seem so frightful as it would in the person of an emperor. The eyes of God gaze upon those who wear rags and crowns with equal sensitivity, knowing that here is a soul, a tender part of the cosmic whole, a precious thing that God has wrought, an image God has loved.
And yet men say in a baneful desire to claim for themselves the freedom which they know they ought to love, “I wish to have a life for myself. I wish to express as I wish. Give me my freedom.” The Brothers of the Golden Robe, of course, know, as do so many of even the lesser luminaries amongst the spiritual seekers, how that there is a very real sense of deceit in this cry, “I want to have a life of my own.”
What really, then, is a man’s? What has he per se a right to claim? Certainly not the lives of others. And in the great interconnecting and interacting laws of compensation, we very much question if men have a right to that life of their own, which they seem to desire to express. One may say, why? And the answer is so simple that often brothers of Light fear to utter it. May I deign to do so?
First of all, the reality that God made and breathed into the divine image was fairer by far than aught that man could conceive of. And therefore the fairest gift that God imparted to every waiting human heart was the origin of his purpose, the beginning of man’s life, a part of cosmic beauty from God’s heart.
We who are the Brothers of the Golden Robe, who have known the tenderness of God’s love as it is penetrated into our minds, are aware of the greatness of the cosmic intelling. Men speak of intelligence and they speak of beauty. Men speak of the lines of life and the confinements of life and they do not know how that their freedom lies in the domain of the spiritual and the beautiful. And there are many things among men that are full of beauty, not the least of which is the expression of friendship between lives.
And therefore as I come to you tonight it is in the fullness of a cosmic friendship which I feel for many of you who have reached out and known me, some among you as I was Saint Francis, the divine poverello, he who embraced the wind and the sand and the trees and the sky and the grass and the loveliness of Nature and of the church at Assisi and those who helped me to build stone by stone the structure and edifice and the understanding of the tenets of the Brotherhood and the realization of the Divine-seeking that is so necessary to the hearts of devotees the world around.
What shall I say of the love of the brothers and of their tender supplication for me as I lay upon the ground a-dying, considering it not in any way a measure of the end of my life but only a moment of beginning, a breath of refreshment after I had expressed that which God had done in me.
And so, my friends, as I come to you tonight at the end of this class of freedom, this class devoted to Saint Germain and the power of freedom in the affairs of men, it is to leave with you some reminiscent sense of the devout, of the power of devotion, of the power of love to stir the mind and the heart with visions of consummate reality, a reality that is far superior to old memoirs, to old records and albums that men may gaze upon and say, “There I was twenty years ago.”
I can tonight gaze upon those events and say, there you were, there I was two hundred, three hundred, five hundred, a thousand years ago‑-it does not matter. We can go back to ancient Egypt or we can move forward to the time when I was in London and attended Oxford. We can reminisce concerning the time when I was known among men as Kuthumi Lal Singh.
And so I consider you my fellows, those of you who have lately come to an understanding of the Christ. For I serve tonight with the great Master Jesus in illumining mankind as to the reality of themselves so that they may in their seeing of self-reality enter into the ritual of becoming that which they see.
For in fact the mind of man, so capable with the brilliance of God, is able to assimilate so much more by far than all that which man has already accepted. But the problem is actually at the nexus of consciousness, where the crowding in of a multitude of thoughts, inanities, and trivia does prevent the entrance of the beautiful, the supreme, and the divine reality which God wishes to inject into the soul because it is of himself, a part of wholeness, a part of compassion for God.
And as I say it, I say it unto you, have compassion for God. For in a very real sense God is crucified daily in ye all and in us as well. For all of us who express a lesser measure of the Deity, of the absolute than what we do are actually retaining the beautiful spirit that God is within ourselves. And as we retain it within ourselves it is crucified in our form and awaits the rebirth in us of the Christ image so that God may spring free from the cross of self and arise in a newness of life into the resurrection spirit of freedom from human bondage. Yet he has not minded it, not at all. He has given of himself so lavishly, as energy goes forth rushing out into domains of selfishness, not unto domains of selfhood, where God-reality shining in all of its splendor pulsates in the ethers.
And as I come to you tonight it is with the hope that the Brothers of the Golden Robe may illumine you as to the meaning of life in a wider aspect that will change you in your relations to one another and to understand the meaning of brotherhood.
Brotherhood is not as men think it is. It is a lingering of the essence that tied you all together when you stood before the throne as beads strung upon a string, the string of cosmic intent composing a circle vast and each bead a life pure and beautiful, pearl-iridescent substance. And there the question of brotherhood was never brought forth, for all knew and saw clearly their origin and Source.
But then when men come below there is often the defense of men against one another, which must go and be cast aside, for it has no meaning or reality. Besides, it is a hindrance to the soul. And if men would but understand it and would search more completely for the goal, all of the Brothers would find it so infinitely easier to be able to illumine men.
Do you know that we spend more of our energy in helping the many parts of the Body of God upon earth to understand one another than we do in helping them to understand their divine outpost of freedom, their own Mighty I AM Presence? And it is the Presence that will give them their freedom ultimately and not one another.
And therefore knowing this, the shadowed ones continually work to create patterns of mistrust, patterns of egoistic sophistry, patterns where men can appear to be wiser than one another. And by these patterns there is spun through a coat of differences a wall of separation between hearts. And God would have none of it. All of the walls must come down as the walls of Jericho of old and they must be dissolved. But the Teaching has said it; from the beginning it has spoken it. And men have known it but they do it not.
And therefore it is an act of doing which I must plead for and an act of doing when it is needed. For men do not mind it at all, not even for an instant, when they are together in consecration toward Christ-ideals and they discuss these ideals and these ministrations as though they were discussing a problem of calculus, of algebra, of geometry, or of Aristotelian philosophy. They discuss these things very casually and they say, “We know we must do this. This we must do.”
And then the moment comes and what happens? There is a rushing forth of the energy of the emotional body in its unbridled self-control. I use the word self-control perhaps a bit bitterly, for there is no self-control in this unbridled act; it is a rushing forth of the energy of a man’s lifestream stored up as a coiled spring that saith to all the world, “I must at all costs defend myself.”
And what are they defending themselves for? For the person whom they feel they must defend themselves against has already lost self-respect and has already lost respect for them. And therefore two straw men engage in a straw act that etches upon immortal substance delay, senseless delay. And both are unprofitable servants in all parts of an argument.
And so, you see, the coiled spring that men have created around the ego is actually a vain and terrible thing. And if men would they could release it now tonight. May I ask you, then, to do an act that I once long ago asked the brothers to do? May I do it in memory of the Order San Franciscan? May I do it for you? [“Yes.” Congregation rises.]
Remember that you have defense mechanisms. Remember that they are stored up within you, that they seek to protect you. Will you give them to me tonight, these defense mechanisms?” [“Yes.”] Will you give me these springs of coiled energy that I may return them to God and the universal? [“Yes.”]
Then understand that in the giving you must never again touch them. If you shall ever again touch them it is possible that all of the energy of all of the coiled springs of all in this group could return to you individually. If you give them up, if you give them up, and it must be determined by you, then give it with that understanding that you must not, that you dare not, that you durst not ever again touch them. You must let God be your defense. And if you should stand, as Sir Thomas More, between the tribunal, you must understand that your strength is as the strength of ten because your heart is pure and wishes harm to no man.
If, then, in that sense you can give it to me I shall take them from all those who shall give them. And I shall offer them unto the Universal and pray unto God that his Light will cremate and forever terminate that energy of self-protection that has been frozen for so long within your forcefields, modes of protection, modes of shadow‑-unnecessary modes.
And then the weight shall fall from your shoulders because that energy will return to you by the power of the angels to rest upon your head as compassion for those who are not so delivered. Do you understand that? Do you understand that then when you come, if you have done this correctly, into the presence of lifestreams who yet feel the need to defend themselves, who are filled with these coiled-up springs of egoistic defense that you will have the power of the angels to bless them as they despitefully use you.
Do you know that this is the way of the Christ that Christendom has failed of all these years? Yet a few of our brothers were able to externalize it and keep that vow within themselves, which they never told, no, never, unto any. And it has been kept until this hour when I choose to reveal it as a part of my mission as World Teacher. (Won’t you please be seated.)
Because someone in the room wondered about this, I wish to say to you in memory of the Lord Christ that when Jesus was teaching some disciples long ago he made the same statement which he made recently to a young boy in Phoenix, Arizona, who cried out in agony. He said to him, “I will cleanse you because you have asked it. But beware least a worse thing come upon you.” And he said unto him, “For when an evil force goes out of a man, it goeth out and seeketh other evil forces throughout the earth, companion forces. And then coming back to the house in which it had lived, it seeketh to enter in again but cannot because the door is barred. And then it taketh these other evil forces into that house that is swept clean because the gateway remains unprotected.”
And thus, I say to you, this coiled spring must not be picked up. It must be left permanently. And you must trust in God for your defense. I do not mean by that that you will be unprotected. I do not mean by that that you will have no defense. I mean that you will have a different protection, a different protection than you have ever had before, a protection of invincible reality.
As a World Teacher, feeling the responsibility of my office, I yearn to see among all the metaphysical groups of the world a greater measure of cosmic harmony. But I understand full well that there are spirals, too, involved in these things, that people feel because they belong to holy orders that they must defend them against all enemies.
And God would make of all orders one, because unless they belong together they are not worthy to be together. And they belong together. But it will not come because a dream is spun, it will not come because our hearts are one, but it will come because there is a hum of harmony that broadcasts into the world divine reality.
And if all express it and forget all the substance of psychic energy which they have imprisoned, there will be no walls of hindrance to draw men together and they will be one, even as we are one. And the shepherd of the sheep shall have accomplished his mission.
As I take my leave of you, will you remember how great the love of the Christ and of Kuthumi is for the brothers the world around. Will you remember the words of the Goddess of Light as she speaks to you now.
I thank you.
This dictation by Beloved Kuthumi was delivered through the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Mark L. Prophet on July 4, 1967, at La Tourelle in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Who is Beloved Kuthumi?
The ascended master Kuthumi, formerly chohan of the second ray of wisdom, now serves with Jesus in the office of World Teacher.
He is the head master of the Brothers of the Golden Robe and trains students who are on the ray of wisdom in the art of meditation and the science of the Word in order that they may become master psychologists of their own psyche, or soul.
Embodiments
Thutmose III
As Pharaoh Thutmose III (c. 1567 B.C.), greatest of pharaohs, prophet and high priest, patron of the arts, he is considered the architect of the Egyptian empire. He expanded the Egyptian kingdom to include most of the Middle East. His most decisive victory was on the battlefield near Mt. Carmel. There he led the entire army single file through narrow Megiddo Pass to surprise and defeat an alliance of 330 rebellious Asian princes—a daring maneuver protested by the pharaoh’s terrified officers. Thutmose alone was assured of his plan and rode ahead holding aloft the image of Amon-Ra, the Sun God who had promised him the victory.
Pythagoras
In the sixth century B.C., he was the Greek philosopher Pythagoras, the “fair-haired Samian” who was regarded as the son of Apollo. As a youth, Pythagoras conferred freely with priests and scholars, eagerly seeking scientific proof of the inner law revealed to him in meditation upon Demeter, the Mother of the Earth. His quest for the great synthesis of truth led him to Palestine, Arabia, India, and finally to the temples of Egypt, where he won the confidence of the priests of Memphis and was gradually accepted into the mysteries of Isis at Thebes.
When Asian conqueror Cambyses launched a savage invasion of Egypt about 529 B.C., Pythagoras was exiled to Babylon, where the prophet Daniel still served as king’s minister. Here rabbis revealed to him the inner teachings of the I AM THAT I AM given to Moses. Zoroastrian magi tutored him in music, astronomy and the sacred science of invocation. After twelve years, Pythagoras left Babylon and founded a brotherhood of initiates at Crotona, a busy Dorian seaport in southern Italy. His “city of the elect” was a mystery school of the Great White Brotherhood.
At Crotona, carefully selected men and women pursued a philosophy based upon the mathematical expression of universal law, illustrated in music and in the rhythm and harmony of a highly disciplined way of life. After a five-year probation of strict silence, Pythagorean “mathematicians” progressed through a series of initiations, developing the intuitive faculties of the heart whereby the son or daughter of God may become, as Pythagoras’ Golden Verses state, “a deathless God divine, mortal no more.”
Pythagoras delivered his lectures from behind a screen in a veiled language that could be fully comprehended only by the most advanced initiates. The most significant phase of his instruction concerned the fundamental concept that number is both the form and the essence of creation. He formulated the essential parts of Euclid’s geometry and advanced astronomical ideas that led to Copernicus’ hypotheses. It is recorded that two thousand citizens of Crotona gave up their customary lifestyle and assembled together in the Pythagorean community under the wise administration of the Council of Three Hundred—a governmental, scientific and religious order that later exercised great political influence throughout Magna Grecia.
Pythagoras, the “indefatigable adept,” was ninety when Cylon, a rejected candidate of the mystery school, incited a violent persecution. Standing in the courtyard of Crotona, Cylon read aloud from a secret book of Pythagoras, Hieros Logos (Holy Word), distorting and ridiculing the teaching. When Pythagoras and forty of the leading members of the Order were assembled, Cylon set fire to the building and all but two of the council members were killed. As a result, the community was destroyed and much of the original teaching was lost. Nevertheless, “the Master” has influenced many great philosophers, including Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, and Francis Bacon.
Balthazar
As Balthazar, one of the three Magi (astronomer/adepts) who followed the star of the Presence of the infant Messiah, he was said to have been the King of Ethiopia who brought the treasure of his realm as the gift of frankincense to Christ, the eternal High Priest.
Francis of Assisi
As Francis of Assisi (c. 1181–1226), the divine poverello, he renounced family and wealth and embraced “Lady Poverty,” living among the poor and the lepers, finding unspeakable joy in imitating the compassion of Christ. While kneeling at Mass on the feast of St. Matthias in 1209, he heard the gospel of Jesus read by the priest and the Lord’s command to his apostles, “Go, preach.” Francis left the little church and began evangelizing and converting many. Among them was the noble Lady Clare, who later left her home dressed as the bride of Christ and presented herself to Francis for admittance to the mendicant order.
One of the many legends surrounding the lives of Francis and Clare describes their meal at Santa Maria degli Angeli, where Francis spoke so lovingly of God that all were enraptured in Him. Suddenly the people of the village saw the convent and the woods ablaze. Running hastily to quench the flames, they beheld the little company enfolded in brilliant light with arms uplifted to heaven.
God revealed to Francis the divine Presence in “brother sun” and “sister moon” and rewarded his devotion with the stigmata of Christ crucified—the first saint known to receive them. The prayer of St. Francis is spoken by people of all faiths around the world: “Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace!…”
Shah Jahan
As Shah Jahan (1592–1666), Mogul emperor of India, he overthrew the corrupt government of his father, Jahangir, and restored in part the noble ethics of his grandfather Akbar the Great. During his enlightened reign, the splendor of the Mogul court reached its zenith and India entered her golden age of art and architecture. Shah Jahan lavished the imperial treasury on music, paintings, and the construction of awesome monuments, mosques, public buildings and thrones throughout India, some of which may still be seen today.
Koot Hoomi Lal Singh
In his final embodiment, the adept Kuthumi was revered as a Kashmiri brahman, Koot Hoomi Lal Singh (also known also as Koot Hoomi and K.H.) Koot Hoomi led an extremely secluded life, affording but a fragmented record of his words and works. Born in the early nineteenth century, Mahatma Kuthumi was a Punjabi whose family had settled in Kashmir. He attended Oxford University in 1850 and is believed to have contributed “The Dream of Ravan” to The Dublin University Magazine around 1854, prior to returning to his homeland.
His mission today
World Teacher
In the line of cosmic peerage, Jesus conferred upon the Ascended Master Kuthumi the office of World Teacher, which position our Lord gave to his disciple to share jointly with himself. The World Teachers Jesus and Kuthumi sponsor every soul seeking reunion with God, tutoring them in the fundamental laws governing the cause/effect sequences of their own karma and teaching them how to come to grips with the day-to-day challenges of their individual dharma, one’s duty to fulfill the Christ potential through the sacred labor.
Master psychologist
Kuthumi is known as the master psychologist, and his assignment is to assist chelas in the resolution of their psychology. On January 27, 1985, he announced a dispensation from Lord Maitreya:
This dispensation is my assignment to work with each one of you individually for your physical health and for the healing of your psychology, that we might swiftly get to the very cause and core of physical as well as spiritual and emotional conditions that there be no more setbacks or indulgences and surely not two steps forward and one step back.
Kuthumi has given a key to understanding our psychology in his teachings on the dweller-on-the-threshold and the electronic belt. The momentums of untransmuted karma in orbit around the “nucleus” of the synthetic self (or carnal mind) form what looks like an “electronic belt” of misqualified energy around the lower portion of man’s physical body.
Brothers and Sisters of the Golden Robe
An order of ascended and unascended beings dedicated to the illumination of mankind through the flame of wisdom, headed by the ascended master Kuthumi, with retreats on the etheric plane in Shigatse and Kashmir.
The purpose of the order of the Brothers of the Golden Robe is to carry illumination to mankind (illumined action). Illumined action merged with the ritual of freedom gives the sixth ray of ministration and service. The Brothers and Sisters of the Golden Robe are intended to be the teachers of mankind. It is an order of devotees who make it their business to carry in their auras the wisdom of the ages to impart it to teachers and all who will listen. In their focus over Kashmir, there is a library containing all of the books on the sacred mysteries—science, culture, and the wisdom teachings of the ages.
Membership
To wear the golden robe of the Brothers of the Golden Robe is a great opportunity and a great privilege. In order to be worthy to wear that robe you must garner a momentum of illumination, of wisdom’s ray in your aura. You will increase wisdom’s ray by increasing the action of the all-seeing eye, since this is the chakra of the emerald ray, which is made up of the will of God firing illumination—blue and yellow making the green ray.
Clearing the third eye clears another vessel for the energies of the Divine Mother to rise to from the base of the spine. The final clearance is of the crown chakra. If any of the chakras below the crown are dirty, are stopped up, are plugged with energy, when the Mother energy tries to rise, it will be blocked or it will be misqualified. So our goal is to raise our energy through the seven chakras step by step, keeping the pearl of the Divine Mother clear until it reaches the crown of illumination.
Summit University
Saint Germain has explained that the training at the early twelve-week sessions of Summit University prepared students for entry into the order:
And so the Lord of the World sends his angels with the golden-velvet robe placed upon each of you now as the mark of your having passed through these walls and stayed until the end, unto the finish, unto the hour of victory. That golden robe makes you eligible for membership in the Order of the Golden Robe under the master Kuthumi.
The ray of wisdom
Illumination and the ray of wisdom is not by any means a delicate ray. It is piercing with the authority of the Godhead and with the authority of the Christ mind. The clearing of the aura by the violet flame and by the energies of the will of God clears the way for the surging of the fount of illumination and love in the heart; and without that clearing, the threefold flame cannot expand. So it is in order to do on the use of the blue and the violet rays. However, we also need to accelerate the action of the wisdom ray and accelerate the concentrated energies of the crystal of the mind of God.
When your aura becomes saturated with wisdom’s fire, it precipitates as a golden robe, and the golden robe is the inevitable outcropping of your own inner attainment. Therefore, you force membership in the Order of the Golden Robe by the action of your own aura. Only those who have an aura supercharged with wisdom can be counted as Brothers of the Golden Robe and Sisters of the Golden Robe.
