DICTATION TRANSCRIPT

Chelas of my heart, I come to start a new cycle of spirals turning and of the turning of worlds within your life!

I AM the candle of hope.  I am the single fire of the ascendant one in the large birthday cake given to me this day by the lady master Nada.  Thus, the love flame of the Brotherhood in that offering of her heart I pass to you, that your heart also might bear the pink rose of Nada, even as you have been so blessed by the light of Rose of Light.

We are at cycles turning.  And as I see this decade past, O what initiations, O what treachery and intrigue surrounding the office of messenger, O what attempts unseen by you to tear the veil from the Cosmic Virgin!

Precious ones of the light, we are only grateful that we are one this night and that these ten years have not seen the fulfillment of that determination of the fallen ones to splinter and divide, saw asunder and scatter the light-bearers of my heart.  This itself is a great accomplishment. And yet, perhaps, such a victory won is not perceived; for most of you have been shielded from those attempts to destroy the office and the person before the victory should come.

Therefore, beloved hearts, we have seen here and there the spinning-off of individuals.  For the most part, these did not have the stuff of which ascended masters are made, and they knew it.  Some withdrew in silence or silent protest, and others made the maximum noise of their departure.

Those who gather here gather in trust as seekers seeking the flame of heart and of the ascension.  Not all of you have made commitments to my life or to our Brotherhood.  For you are on the quest of your own knighthood, and you have come to Camelot to see how you might fare and what the fair lady might transfer to your heart–something of value, something of reality.  And perhaps you have even hoped for the white stone.

But I see a jewel of light, a rather large stone that is the focus of this year and decade.  It is at inner levels and yet so real as to be even physical in its appearance to our own Elizabeth.  And thus, it is a crystal, a crystal of stone that you have not seen or known of on earth–diamondlike yet brilliant, with a clarity that is reminiscent of the sea of glass.  Yet it is not glass but has a bluish tint and is that focus of an inner light that we would carry for the victory of the next decade.

If you will remember in the hour of my ascension, the activity was yet housed at La Tourelle, and the Motherhouse was the only property we had used on this coast.  The explosion of light, the force of illumination from Gautama’s torch of that New Year’s Eve 1972, has seen a tremendous action of the transfer of illumination’s flame to many hearts.  Many, many thousands around the world know more about themselves and the inner man of the heart than they did in the hour of my transition.

This also is a great accomplishment.  It has happened not alone through the publishing of the books, but it has happened as a general uplift of the planetary consciousness, where individuals of sincere and pure hearts have literally breathed in your own awareness and the masters’ presence.  They have come into an inner integrity, a personhood, if you will, and a ripening of the soul for contact with the Brotherhood.

You will recall that very few books were in print at the hour of our ascension, and today there are many.  Much more is available to you as a body of teaching, on tape and in print, than that which was available to those who formed the nucleus of the community in that year.

The descent of my mantle in many hearts has been   individually received.  Some who have come to our university of the ascended masters, though they have not remained ardent within this field, have gone on in creativity and pursuits.  And their blessing of carrying the light has also been  transmitted as flying sparks of the heart to untold others.

You know, beloved ones, in one sense the Path is the most individual commodity in the universe.  Though the light and the love must reach an equal intensity, yet the carving of a destiny and a profile in courage, in honor, if you will, is a very unique experience for the individual.

Some who cherish the teaching find themselves bound by chains of karma which they seemingly cannot break, or think they cannot break.  And thus, it is as though there were many, many roads and roller coasters and descents and ascents.  And in all of this process, individuals yet keep a spark of hope that one day they will join you as worthy chelas, able to keep pace with your own ardor.

You must realize that you are looked upon somewhat with admiration from some quarters, and others with amazement, and then some have a certain jealousy for your ability to keep on keeping on, to be cupbearers of the lotus of Gautama’s heart.

Singularly unique are the chelas who comprise my staff, my shepherd’s crook.  The comings and goings ought not to burden you.  For, beloved ones, we understand and know what is required for the mandala of the rose of our community to be in full bloom and to prosper.

Though the burdens of our heart may be many, the golden light of the sun of Helios reminds us that the Path can be walked, the victory can be won, and that the sojourn on earth is always a finite one.  Even two and a half million years is a finite period.  And therefore, we can leap into the heart of the sun and project our consciousness there, already enjoying the great feast of victory–the supper of the great God, if you will.

You may have many a dress rehearsal for that great supper, even as you experienced this evening.  Your rejoicing in victory, the laughter and response you must understand, was a penetration into the future–the laughter and the joy that all is won and the last enemy is overcome, a bit of a taste of the saints rejoicing with Alpha and Omega in the Central Sun.

We would like to project there, even this evening, to tell you many stories of our history together.  And we would do so, but unfortunately, beloved ones, these things ought not to be available to the profane, to those who are without compassion or understanding.  And therefore, such a fireside storytelling must wait a bit longer.  But in the meantime, we can be up and doing.  We can rejoice that in the final hours of the victory of this mandala, vigilance is an urgent virtue.

There is no room for the accommodation within our ranks of those who compromise the law.  As harsh as this may seem, beloved, those who break the law have been with us year in and year out.  Though they know our love and our heart, yet will they malign, will they compromise, will they gossip, will they seize the very first suspicion that something is wrong with the message or the messenger and immediately take a stance of anti-organization and begin to look for crumbs–crumbs of criticism to build first an anthill and then a giant anthill of condemnation.

Beloved ones, these things ought not to be, and yet there is almost a panic in this age.  There is a tremendous fear enveloping the planet.  And people have the age-old need to feel that if there is a conspiracy afoot, if there is a possibility that they are being fooled, they must find it out first lest they lose their own self-esteem for their own self-ignorance.  And therefore, once engaged in suspicion concerning the activities of the organization or the messages, they become vulnerable to a plague of astral hordes of doubt and fear and corruption itself.

Now this has been the technique of the fallen ones to undo not only the communities of the Holy Spirit, but city-states and certainly every endeavor of the Great White Brotherhood at organization at the private or government level for thousands of years–until so much fear is spread abroad that many people in embodiment today are suspicious of all organization and they consider it evil, even at the governmental level.  They separate themselves bodily from the company of saints, they separate themselves from government, and they pursue a maximum independence because they so fear that someone, somewhere, sometime will take advantage of them.

Beloved ones, you who have heard my sermons given week after week at La Tourelle on Sunday evening know that always I would bring to the attention of the listeners and the newcomers the Great White Brotherhood as an organization active in the affairs of men.  I deem the organization of the Great White Brotherhood to be the most important force in all of the Matter universes, for it is the organization of ascended sons of light and their brothers and sisters unascended on the Path.

Without this organization, a unity of effort that eliminates duplication, without this mighty fraternity of light-bearers, there would be no organized deterrent against the fallen ones, no ability to meet the crisis of the hour.

They are well organized, as you have seen in studying the Mafia–regimented, working by the law of the false hierarchy, yet nevertheless hierarchy itself, demanding strict obedience and instantaneous death to anyone who breaks the oath or the vow.  It is almost like a tribal culture, and the families themselves as clans.  But even the sinister force must imitate the organization of the Great White Brotherhood; for they, too, could not survive nor accomplish without a delegation of their services and offices.

So, organization is the great mastermind of the physical temple of a single flower or plant.  Matter is organized, as chemistry and physics pursue the designs of a cosmic mathematics outpictured in form.

Let us realize, then, that ninety-nine percent of the attempts of the Great White Brotherhood to found and sustain a mystery school, an organization dedicated to the ascension, have failed.  This remaining one that provides all of the teaching of East and West–from the violet flame to the path of the Buddha, from the latest dispensations of Almighty God through his servant-sons to the most ancient teachings–here and here alone you can walk the path home.

And this is truth, and it is something for which I am eternally grateful.  For I am dedicated to the ascension of many souls upon earth–yourselves and thousands of others.  And at least I have a focus, a community, a place of the dissemination of its knowledge–books in print, borne by the angels bearing the Everlasting Gospel to the nations.

When you think of this stupendous organization at our command–the facilities, the talent, the hearts–and you think of the ascended masters ascended in their retreats, where else do they go knowing that they can release a pure teaching, a teaching that will not be tainted and tarnished?  For when it is so, beloved ones, it is often better that people do not hear the teaching at all.  For some of the abuses of the law are so great that though part is correct, the incorrect part will lead the soul astray for many lifetimes.  Thus, we prefer to leave devotees in the standard orthodox churches rather than risk psychic involvement or a tie to the false gurus who themselves are already dead and going in that direction of the underworld.

I speak of one individual in this city who has taken much from our teaching and who has become well known through his own newspaper.  And that individual is John Roger–a false hierarch luring souls of light away from the true path.  This individual has no part with the Brotherhood, but attempts to even play my own role without so naming me.

I draw this to your attention so that you will realize that here in this very city there are many other false teachers which appear benign and universalist in nature and certainly have words of praise for this activity for they cannot afford not to, for their students also know of our teaching.  And therefore, they feed them our teaching but tie their students to their own private personality by their own stories of self-importance.

Thus, there are many souls who truly accept the ascended masters’ teachings but believe, because they are so told, that they have a tie to or a special mission to fulfill with John Roger or others.  And therefore, they believe that he is their unique teacher, though they believe in the masters and even in our messengership.

It is a deadly game that the fallen ones play.  Thus they praise us, they take our books and teachings conveniently to use as textbooks in their own classes.  And they demonstrate to their students, by the psychic hook, that these students, because they are on a particular path and have a particular psychological need, do not belong in this organization.  It is not a condemnation, it is not a disagreement; it is simply the understanding “There are paths many, and all lead to the same source.”

We have always known that this would come about when the superior quality of the ascended masters’ teachings would force the false teachers to acclaim it–but at the same time to attack the Guru/chela relationship and to deny the essential need of souls on the Path to establish the contact with our heart and with the ascended masters through the dispensation they have given in our very midst.

Thus, as we look at the brightness of all that has been accomplished, ten years itself is finite in one dimension, though infinite in another.  And therefore, when we come to the edge of a mighty circle of attainment, we contact now the fields that have not yet been tilled, the forests that have not been penetrated.  And at the edge of a wider circle that you yourselves have created with us, we come straightaway up against the false teachers who themselves are threatened by so great a light and therefore use the means of imitation and professed agreement to retain individuals whose destiny is the temple of Serapis Bey.

I will tell you, because it is true, that the anointing and the preparation that each of you requires from the heart of Serapis Bey can only be conveyed as initiation in this day through our embodied messenger.  And this is truth.  And each and every one of you will come to the place in life when you will need that direct, physical initiation–whether at the hour of transition or many, many years before.

There is that transfer of light and that coil of fire that you must have and that we must give.  It is ours to give to every soul who can take the step to the dais at Luxor where the ascension flame blazes and where you may step and feel the power of ascension’s flame and then come forth as the ascended one.

It has never been our style to profess to you unique qualities of our messengership.  We have preferred, rather, that the real devotees should perceive for themselves the light, the benefit, and the contact.  And those who do not perceive it, well, they must then pursue their own heart and their own level of attainment.

We are not here to sell our wares but to minister unto the ‘poor’–those who are in need and those who want, those who are empty and must be filled.  For in professing a certain magical quality of the Brotherhood, for us it would defeat the entire purpose of being the servant of Christ in every heart of God’s children.

You see, we have never desired to create a large   organization, nor have we desired to create some sort of a worldwide movement.  We are very content with a pure and undefiled nucleus of light-bearers.  For the weight upon our heart of the halfhearted ones is so great that it does indeed prevent the ongoingness of the mission.  Our preference, as was the preference of Jesus and Gautama, is to grow no larger than the power of the individual dedicated to God and walking the Path in love.

Thus, more and more, we discourage great quantities of numbers but rather look to the quality of our personal interaction with each devotee on the Path whose heart is truly fused with the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and our own heart flames.

Our hearts carry the ray and the purpose of the two witnesses.  And this is the office that witnesses unto your attainment and has the sharpness of the two-edged sword and of the all-seeing eye to quickly expose to your own striving souls those things which must not be and which are dangerous to your life and path–things that must be set aside swiftly, for the cycles turn.  And they turn also swiftly.

Both Elizabeth and I could recount to you our own  initiations with Maitreya and Serapis and Morya, and how these masters demanded on the instant a swift and sudden turning, a surrender, an action, a striving, a meeting of a crisis–testing the mettle and giving us the true realization of what is the value of direct contact with the ascended masters.

The ascended masters are the manifestation of the I AM Presence!  And you ought to know the Old Testament better than you do, for there you reach an understanding of how intense is the light of the I AM THAT I AM and, as a matter of speaking, how intolerant that light is of all unlike itself.  This can be seen in Moses’ dealing with the children of God.

Beloved ones, therefore, sometimes we shudder as we see such an unreal perception by the students of one such as Serapis Bey or of the Maha Chohan as they come through us with a gentle rebuke or a reminder to come up higher, and how it is so lightly taken and so lightly spoken of.  It is as though the more years of ascended master teaching you receive, the more dulled your ears become to the tremendous opportunity of the direct initiatic experience with any of the brothers of light at any hour of the day.

I would like to see you return to an intimate circle of oneness.  Though you be ten or fifty thousand strong, I would like to have you have the sense of the intimacy of God.

Beloved hearts, believe it or not, that intimate contact is right there– through the publications themselves, the teaching, and the Word.

Some keep waiting for a personal interaction at a  personality level, and for them only this will suffice.  But you see, we are the Word.  The Word that is passed through us becomes a part of us and we a part of it.  Our very presence is indissolubly linked with that spoken and printed Word.

Perhaps, then, a certain apartness from us is given to you precisely to wean you of the idolatrous sense of thinking that the messengers are a flesh-and-blood manifestation. You must understand that the office of messenger is borne by Christ where we are, and we bear that mantle because of our integration with that Christ–not because of a physical perfection, not because of a physical rigidity!

The flesh is prone to err, to sin, to misqualify energy.  But the Word of the LORD and the office and the mantle is undefiled by that flesh.  Those who cannot see beyond it, therefore, are tremendously threatened if they think that the flesh itself has entered into some infraction of the cosmic code of life.

Dear hearts, do you think that God would plan a hierarchy and devise an office and then make it vulnerable to the burdens that we bear in the physical octave?  Though we may be bowed down, the flame of the messenger moves on.  Though we may pass through the burdens of our karma and appear quite common in the process, beloved ones, the person of the messenger walks on and the mantle is borne.  And the Brotherhood has never, never leaned upon the arm of flesh but upon the arm of the LORD.  And therefore, by the light of the heart and the accumulated, expanded threefold flame where we are, is the office kept.

We hope that our conduct would be exemplary, but we may both admit that it has not always been.  We know that we are saved by grace from all of the improprieties of all incarnations that we have ever had.  And so is the Law true and just and holy for you.

And so, the violet flame works in both directions, and we are free from our past.  But our enemies will never free us from our past, for the enemies of the Light themselves are not free from their own past.

By the very nature of the enemy of the Light, he is not free to integrate with the Word or the Holy Spirit or the violet flame.  For those who condemn the masters, their representatives, and their chelas cease to be able to use the violet flame–or should I say, the violet flame ceases to be able to work for them.  For the violet flame itself–self-luminous, intelligent energy–is also obedient to God’s laws, and it will not be flaunted.

Therefore, beloved ones, it is good that for those of you who have a critical eye that you may perceive our humanness.  For in finding that humanness, you may find that you also may overcome the weaknesses of the flesh and therefore conquer by the sword of the Spirit.  But should you not perceive our humanness, you might make of us an idol mounted on a pedestal and thereby sign your own death warrant.  For he who creates an idol himself must fall, for he himself is the idol of self.

Therefore, beloved, you will not ascend by the accomplish­ments or the failures of the flesh.  You will not be disqualified by human error.  You will be disqualified by the quality of heart!  It is the condition of heart that determines whether physical acts are designed and defined as sin or perhaps as a piccolo of a mistake.

These peccadilloes, beloved hearts, are brushed aside by the Lords of Karma when you stand with flaming heart that burns in love for your brothers and sisters.  You may yet have the crudities of an uneducated one who has not even had the learning of basic manners or the culture of life.  And you may be quite surprised to see that that one with the flaming heart enters the halls of Luxor before you.

Thus, my beloved, judge not lest ye be judged.  Be not overcome by your own human frailties.  Do not hang yourself from the wall as an icon, and please do not hang us on the wall.  Either we hang together or we all hang separately!

But, blessed ones, let us get to the heart of the matter.  For in the concept of the perfecting of the flesh is the gravest mistake that anyone could make.

There are some who reach a certain age in life who look in the mirror and become despondent, for they see youth gone, age overtaking them, and that they may no longer do those things they used to do.  Life seems to have passed them by.  They become frantic because they have thought of the physical temple as the sign of their immortality and all of a sudden the immortality of youth is gone.

This is a major crisis in the American middle class–in fact, in all middle classes and in all classes everywhere on the planet.  And it results in a throwing to the winds of morality, a new promiscuity, a new materialism as riches and objects and things and sexual conquests seem to be a substitute for the freedom of youth.  Thus in all respects, beloved ones, let us cherish the body as the instrument of our service and nothing more.

Now, if you could line me up across the stage, dressed in each of my embodiments, all of these myself–imagine, from door to door I would stand in the costumes of the ages–would you all say, “There he is.  No–there he is! There he is–no, there he is”?

And you see, I would be none of these.  For I am not my former self; I am, in fact, my future self.  For my eye is on the sun before me and that which I am becoming in the fullness of the Spirit of God!

I cast them all aside.  And if there be any crown from that lifetime, I have long ago laid it at the feet of the living Christ.  And if there be, as there has indeed been, an absence of attainment, a momentum of karma or misqualified energy, I have also long ago consigned it to the flame.

And God remembers my sins no more–except in the mind of the chela who will learn from the lesson of those mistakes may it never be erased!  May you indeed remember my mistakes until you have been victorious over that point in your life.  And may you be properly equipped to evaluate the error and the mistake, and to see in your own life what is the comparison.

For I would be loathe to think that you could observe my journeys and not receive the message.  If I have pursued a fantasy or a dead end, I should hope that you would not do the same but learn from the lesson and move on on the great highway of life, saving yourself time and incarnations you little dream of.

For life is like a maze.  And once you stray from the path of initiation of Serapis, there is no telling, as one road leads to another, when you will ever come back to the point you have left.  And of course, when you come to that point that has been left, you realize that that point is not there.  For things are not the same when you return.

The thatched-roof cottage in merry old England with the pretty garden that you remember so fondly from a century or a thousand years ago–you may go back to find it is unkept, broken down, empty, and without the life and the spirit you once knew.  Yet you long to be there to undo the wrong that was done, but you cannot be.

It is impossible to recreate the exact circumstances.  Therefore, you must go in search of that mother, that child, that one–all who were a part of that village scene–and find them one by one across the earth until you have balanced an untoward manifestation of perverseness and stubbornness that deprived you and the entire town of the joy and the victory of love.

Blessed hearts, the organization of the Great White Brotherhood is such that all of you who have those places where you have been suddenly taken from the screen of life, not to finish what was begun–the Great White Brotherhood has therefore created in this activity a special magnet of light.

And this magnet actually contains within it, like a giant honeycomb, those six-sided and eight-sided forms–the forms of the chakras that contain the peculiar mathematical nucleus of your karma, whereby those individuals you left in the steppes of Russia or in Tibet or Africa or on another planet are magnetized by that nucleus and by their own, so that souls of affinity may come together in another spiral in the sanctuary of the Holy Grail, each one bearing his cup and desiring to give another to drink while holding it forth to the cross to catch a drop of the blood of Christ crucified.

Therefore, beloved, every story of your life, every episode can be finished here.  Why, see how many souls of light have met to establish old ties, to form families, to bring forth children who themselves have need to be together?

The Great White Brotherhood’s organization here is a miracle in the science of balancing karma!  And all of this you owe to beloved Saint Germain, whose one desire for you is to give to you that great opportunity to balance your karma and to be free in 100 percent of the law of your being.

Saint Germain has moved more than heaven and earth!   He has moved galaxies to bring you together for a cosmic purpose.  Therefore, I should say, Cherish one another even more.  For those loved ones that you see each day are precious ones you have known before.  And though they wear another garment and another disguise, they are individuals whom you require to meet both to give and to receive.

I point out to you now the moment that all have experienced when someone has offered you a gift or a service of love.  And instead of graciously receiving that offering, you have said, somewhat shortly, “No, no thank you.  I would rather not.”  And it is almost like the slamming of the door in the face of one who comes bearing a gift they need to give and which you need to receive.  That is the residual ego within the self that does not want to admit that personal needs can be fulfilled by another, that does not wish to admit the necessity for the friend.

Beloved hearts, one must open oneself sometimes painfully to the awareness that if you do accept the fact that you need interaction, you open yourself to giving another person the power to either uplift or degrade your lifestream, for the open chakra is the chakra that also may be penetrated.  And therefore it is easier to seal the chakras and say “no thank you” rather than risk that an old hurt will come again and the same unfortunate scene will be outplayed.

Have courage, dear hearts, for the violet flame is with you.  But to undo and redo some matrices, only God-determination will suffice.  For you must determine to change the course of the stream, change the human habit patterns of this or that indulgence, stamp out the pride and the old hurts.  For these reactions come sometimes from a longstanding hardness of heart that says, “I will not forgive this individual until they do thus and such.”  And sometimes in the wildness of speculation concerning another encounter with that individual, one conceives of impossible demands in order to establish anew a peace treaty.

Now this determination not to interact with individuals may have occured five centuries ago.  You have no knowledge of it on the surface, and yet your coldness toward some lifestreams should make you realize that you have done nothing to change that particular spiral and level of record which may be far beneath your present level of awareness.  But you are not free in your present level of awareness because that old sense of vendetta still lingers there in the unconscious.

Let us therefore not simply invoke light to cover over the past, to build a new world up here while the old world has not been torn down.  Let us be aware, and let us pursue the painful experience of allowing the sacred fire to penetrate deep into the electronic belt to discover those crystals of hardness and to break them.

Because you see, beloved ones, every crystal of hardness of heart or unforgivingness or closing of oneself is like a satellite you have launched, moving around the nucleus of the synthetic self–actually in orbit around the dweller on the threshold.  And therefore each time you attempt to put down that carnal mind, you are not merely confronting it but an entire defense mechanism.  And this mechanism of self-defense is actually the building of a mechanization man–the false you, the synthetic, plastic self.  And then, you see, by not going to the heart and overcoming this, your personality takes on a metallic quality and a rigidity, and the human will then must deal in the human octave rather than the Christ.

If you allow these conditions to persist, your only defense is your human will, for Christ cannot enter your temple.  And therefore, the development of the heart ceases.  And though you may think you are in a mandala going forward, you may in fact not be making progress.

You cannot build a house on sand, a superstructure of a temple to the living God that ignores what is in the basement of life.  This is something that often happens at the subconscious level, whereby the carnal mind itself sets up a defense mechanism against the penetration of the light, for it fears its own transmutation and the binding by Archangel Michael and the removal, that the soul may at last go free.

You may have no sympathy for La Cosa Nostra, but you may indeed have sympathy with pockets of your own human personality without even having an awareness of it.  But it is a deference, a favoring of the crippled part of the self.

I mention these things with great joy and for a mighty purpose.  For, you see, according to the cosmic clock of our messengership in the birth cycles and the years calculated, there are four more years of opportunity for mastery in the secret rays–on the eight, nine, ten, and eleven o’clock lines.  In these years, by the power of the secret rays, you may become the master of your own unconscious self and the collective unconscious of the entire community of which we are a part.  In so doing, you will find it is truly the road to ascended-master God-mastery.

For, you see, the unpredictable side of yourself is that which is beneath the threshold of conscious awareness.  And those things that you do which you would not do, do not reveal their sources or their courses.  And thus, sometimes you are discouraged to think that you still behave in such-and-such manner when long ago you have called upon the law of forgiveness and surrendered it.

But now comes mighty Cosmos and the secret rays, and you understand how needlelike rays must, of necessity, penetrate your aura and subconscious to dissolve that which is unreal and leave intact that which is real.  This cannot be done by surgery alone.  For you must grow in the mastery of those secret rays and their chakras.  In other words, from the unconscious to the superconscious mind, you must have total awareness and dominion and the intent to be your ascended-master self in order to be able to leave behind those outworn forms.

Thus, beloved ones, the path of the heart is the one which will lead you not only in the mastery of the seven rays but in the five secret rays.  Through the door of the heart rather than through complex intellectual understanding of what I am saying, you can accomplish all these things and yet go about your service.  For love has a way of magnetizing to your heart all things that are needful for your path.  Love is the open door to the Maha Chohan, who will enter and work with you.

You are at a place now as chelas on the Path that you have a sufficient attainment, as well as illumination, that it is not enough for you to awaken one morning and find yourselves all of a sudden a prince or princess full-blown.

No, beloved.  Your joy, like the Montessori child, is the very process of becoming–the day-by-day ritual of choosing what kind of a prince will I be in the castle of my Father, what kind of a princess?  And thinking through every detail and discarding:  “Yes, this.  Not that.  This, not that.”  The process of choosing, the process of self-creation at all levels.  You are at a moment of a springboard of victory.

Thus, my beloved, our celebration this day is tenfold because you have also come to understand how it could be that we would celebrate in the manner of an expose and an almost endless procession of the worst of the underworld.

But this is a celebration.  How could I ask for a greater ascension gift from you than to have the opportunity, with K-17, to step through the veil and do something about the underworld that is no longer under, for it is integrated with conscious life in America?

How sad it is, beloved hearts, that the people of this nation are actually weary and do not feel disposed to fight in every direction for every thing.  And the struggle seems endless, and thus they tune it out and tune in the television and find a false peace in an unreal plane of consciousness.  That unreal place neutralizes fear, anxiety, a sense of the necessity to prepare for the judgment and to prepare for salvation and the resurrection.

One must be keenly sensitive to the soul and to all of life to realize how intense, just how intense is the path of the ascension and how earnestly one must strive to arrive at the goal.  It is a great tragedy, because the percentages of individuals who no longer are willing to face reality, as compared to two decades ago, is far, far greater.

How can one approach an individual who lives in an unreal world, with an imaginary assessment of self, with no accountability for life, no sense of the immediacy of passing events or their applicability to the soul’s evolution?

So many live in a world–the sign that hangs on the door:  “Gone fishin’.”  And they fish [laughter] by the side of the stream and come home with or without a catch.  But they themselves have never realized that it is they who have been caught and not the fish themselves.  They are caught in a spiral of unbelief and unawareness, caught in a spiral of the nonnecessity for striving!   No need to strive–just coast along.

Well, beloved hearts, you will be the cosmic acrobats that figure out that cosmic dance that Shiva figured out long ago:  the way to impress those who are asleep with the need to be awake, the need to respond, the need to be filled with the power of God, the need to take action!

Did you ever speak of the most joyous thing in your heart, the teachings themselves, and receive either by a glance or a worded answer, “So what?”  Well, it has been my experience.  And thus, the attempt to puncture my balloon of joy was made.  But it did not succeed.  For, after all, one must have greater moorings than to be disturbed by the comments of the unaware.

But the path of the Buddha demands greater self-awareness–even by an increment, which I perceive as a good formula this evening.  That much more awareness of self–the selfish self–and therefore the desire to throw it aside, and that much more awareness of your I AM Presence could catapult this community into a new class of light-bearers.  And this is truly why I have come:  to invite you to fearlessly take a new leap into the definition of selfhood.

All that I am speaking about is your victory on the ten o’clock line.  All I am speaking about is the vastness of a treasure that truly is at the end of the rainbow of your causal body, just within your reach.

Dear hearts, some have never known just how close was the very object of their desiring.  In the next room, on a side street, another part of town was all that they wanted and desired and could have had.

And what stood between them and the connection, the cosmic connection that would have made all the difference in their lives?  Why, it was nonaction–a sleepiness, an absence of understanding of the need for action, to be mobile and moving, and to call to God for the answer instead of attempting to get it all oneself on one’s own.

And our hands have been tied as surely as if we had handcuffs, and we could not bring these individuals together or circumstances because the one who could have or should have made the call, reached out, acted in love to render a service that would have placed him in contact with the right forces and resources was not done.  He did not respond to the mandate of his own being because the grasping of the lesser self and the desire to get for oneself had not been let go of.  And therefore, the divine man could not reach out and simply pluck the fruit from the Tree of Life, give it to the soul, and the soul would live forever.

Think back of the time and circumstance of your contact with me.  For most of you, it required that you did something, go somewhere, be in the right place at the right time, know the right person.

Do you think that that was happenstance?  It was, by the grace of God, the soul moving toward its greatest need and not allowing itself to be obstructed by these subconscious envies, jealousies, hardnesses, and complexities of that carnal mind.

By the grace of God, then, we are in contact physically.  By the grace of God, we are in contact with many more light-bearers, but at inner planes.  Now I desire to release to you from my causal body that measure of fire to cause the increase of self-awareness above and below.  Can you stand it?  [“Yes!”]

Speak, then, with the solemnity of your own good caution.  Speak, then, as chelas of Saint Germain.  For, beloved ones, you must realize that your own present self-awareness is your level of comfortability.  Though you may not be comfortable, beloved ones, going up on the scale would maybe create–you think in your heart–maybe create in you greater uncomfortability, and you do not desire to be there.  You would rather dwell at levels of nonawareness.

Think of this!  Think of the whole earth!  Think of individuals who know not the I AM Presence!  They know it not, I say, because it would expose the darkness in the corners of being which they do not wish to eliminate!  Therefore, they do not wish to see!  There are many people who desire not to see.

And I promise you, if you successfully receive this transfer from me this night, you will be uncomfortable until you have adjusted–as though in another atmosphere, as though going to a higher mountain.  And realize, if you also receive this, there is no going back.  You cannot then enjoy the comfortability of a former sinful state, and I say sinful because nonawareness is sinful.  And therefore, you will have to live with the lesser self that is exposed until it is consumed by the greater Self which will also be exposed.  And in the interim, you must hold the balance of harmony.

I insist that you maintain harmony!  For too often we have given dispensations and you have not heeded the warning to maintain your harmony and to obey the mandate of non-gossip, non-condemnation, non-judgment of one another and ourselves.  After all, we love you, we have given our lives for you.  We can do no more and be no better than we are.  Therefore, we must say, “We may be better tomorrow and more to your liking as people or personalities, but for the moment, this is it.”

Well, beloved ones, we will take a dose of our own medicine.  We will also go up, and it will mean that you may also be less comfortable in our presence unless you go up also.  Therefore, retaining those elements of the personality that perhaps are not to your liking is a mercy and a grace in itself, for in the larger sense, it allows us to still function in the same octave.  And in another sense, the lesser manifestation allows us, too, to be insulated from a larger perception of your own human creation, which we would rather not have in this octave.  So it works both ways.

The essence of our hearts is love–yours, mine.  The essence of our knowledge of one another is the definition of a Christ we can see.  Poor paltry vision that cannot see the Christ in one another, for it cripples the community of light-bearers endlessly, and causing setbacks which must be compensated for by those decree vigils which ought to be used to a better purpose.

Now then, I say, recognize you are what you are at this moment of awareness in your Buddhic self by direct choice!  Thus, to have a new awareness must be by choice also, for I will not be blamed for your uncomfortability.

This experience may feel to you like being picked up and put in a spaceship or a clipper ship, all of a sudden in a new area of discovery.  And you look for map and sextant, and you look for the signs of the stars and what is familiar, and you say, “Can I chart a new course and yet be who I am?”

And the answer is, Indeed you can.  For you are what you are and have been that being from the beginning.

Therefore, beloved, I give you the gift of my heart of a new perception of your God-reality and a new perception of the synthetic self, that you may see what is dispensable and what is indispensable in your divine/human personality, both of which must be kept until the coil reaches the point of the highest niche in the pyramid of Life.

So, legions of our bands, now let there be a transfer of the nectar of our heart–the nectar of the Buddha, sweet; the nectar of the Mother, sometimes bitter.  Let the nectars therefore be, and let them be absorbed now by the soul chakra and now by the crown.  So let the Mother and the Father and the essence of ourself be in you, locked now in those chakras, to be disseminated through your system as a very gradual release–not sudden, but gradual release of new life, new awareness, new dimensions of consciousness.

It will require thirty days before you will have a noticing of the full effects of this release.  Therefore, remember me thirty days hence, for I wish to come for the fixing of the alchemy, that you might gain strength and character at that level of awareness.

Look to the character of George Washington–a man common, yet uncommon; a man like many others, thought of as mediocre in many ways; certainly not one of super talents.  And what is the great mystery of the stature, the total stature of the man?  It is heart, heart, I say!–the blending of those elements of the human personality.  And suddenly the Lord comes into his temple and the Christ consciousness–extraordinary in one sense, average in another–mounts to fulfill the nation’s destiny.

You need not be brilliant but, rather, steadfast.  You need not be a genius of sorts, but one who endures and has the special knack of being where one ought to be and therefore precisely the instrument of the Lord.

Common sense is a need of the hour, and the sharpening of common sense must begin with the children and not be neglected with the mature.  Common sense is the Alpha/Omega assessment of life–Alpha/Omega focusing on a single image. Two eyes, like twin flames, must become one to be effective for the vision.

My blessed ones, I trust that I weary you not.  But I love you very much, and I do enjoy speaking with you, and I, too, would like to see you a bit more comfortable in this octave when we would come and speak.

How are the green grasses?  How are the stars?  How are the diamonds of your heart?  How are the angels who tiptoe softly between you, and the fragrance of lily of the valley?

I AM your Lanello forever–forever and a day, and the day is the day of your ascension in the light.  I sing to the ascension of my chelas.  Look not at me to celebrate, but celebrate your victory.  See it now.

Do you see the day and the glory as the sun rises and you say, “O my God, this day is the day of my ascension”?  Do you see yourself walking toward the sun and never looking back, for the whole earth and all that it has to offer you is as nothing, for the City of the Sun is before you, and you walk into the arms of the Everlasting God?  And the cosmic cross of white fire, as that sun pierces the jewel, is the sign that one has come out from the many.

It is not a cross of Flanders Field.  It is a cross of white fire.  And it remains a sign in the earth–a signpost especially loved by elementals.  And there it is left.  It is a message:  “I have overcome.  You may see me no more, but you may follow and rejoice with me in the flame of immortality.”

Yes, I have left my cosmic cross of white fire in the earth, and all who come upon it say, “I, too, can ascend.  I have known this man.  He was like me–common, too.  Not so learned, not so accomplished, not so specially gifted, but somehow this man, like me, made it to another dimension and another life.  I can do it!   For he is not a god.  He is a man like me with a heart that beats and a soul that longs for love and comfort.”

All of this, you see, is recorded in my cross of white fire.  Therefore they know me before they know my name.  They know my vibration, they know my voice.  And one fine day, they see my face and they say, “That’s him, that’s him!  He made it!  He was not such an extraordinary fellow.  I can climb, too, and I can meet him on the other side.”

Yes, that quality of commonness, the common denominator of our Christhood, is the open door.  Souls on earth cannot find the door of a god’s mechanical perfection.  They shudder and draw back in fear, for the ancient fear of the Anakim is upon them.

But there is no fear where I AM.  I am with Jesus, your love.  I am with Saint Germain, your friend.  I am with your twin flame, who longs for your return and begs you not to tarry another lifetime, for the cosmic dawn awaits.  I am with all who are a part of your loves and your life.

I wave to you from the other shore so that now in my receding image you can realize there is a way to go, there is yet a journey–which simply means there is a process that you must go through to truly be at that vibration of the common denominator of our Christhood.

Oh, be happy!  Let us laugh.  Let us laugh, then, at the unreality of that ego consciousness!  Cannot you enjoy a chuckle and a grin at all of the silliness that has been as dark clouds on your sky?  Can you not throw all those tensions into the flame and feel the great love currents of God pouring through me to you?

Do you not know that all of my jokes and stories that you now hear were designed so that you would realize when your hand would touch that cross, even blindly, that here was a man who knew he had but a few hours yet remaining in the physical octave, who knew the future and the past and the beginning and the ending, who knew what must surely come to pass, who could yet laugh–laugh at the human creation, at death itself and the dweller–who could yet understand the commeasurement of the Infinite and be the instrument for that infinity as the point of a laser beam tearing from you that layer of fat that you have never missed at all?

Can you not also laugh at death and relativity and illusion, and for a moment even at the enormous world problems?  O beloved, think how these world conditions have people in such a frenzy.  They loom large, but they are not real where I AM.  Yet I tend to them as though they were real, because I know you depend upon me.

But when all the light-bearers have been extracted, you see, then a certain sphere, the sphere of the astral body of the earth, as a sheath may be removed and cast into the fire, and we will not longer have to dissect the energy veil.  And then you will see, as though a glove had been removed from the planet, once again the pristine purity of life at inner levels.  You will know you have changed garments and the earth has changed garments, and the whole earth and your golden age will be vibrating at the same level of the golden age of Venus.

And then you will come to understand that certain levels of physicality, by the very nature of time and space, cannot hold the infinite light.  In fact, all illusion is a condition of the slowness of the whirling of the electrons, a lower frequency and a lower vibration that cannot contain reality.  Thus, matter in its burdened condition holds mortality.  But when it is cleansed, it is a new matter, a new heaven, and a new earth.

A new sense of the Spirit I give to you, a new sense of matter!  And then you will know what transformation means.  Standing on the same spot, you will realize, “I have changed garments.  This is a new place, though I yet perceive the same silhouette of the Grand Teton.”

My beloved, you are better than you were yesterday, and I am grateful.  I am better than I was yesterday, and I am grateful.  Yet, we were always God.  Is that not the mystery of unwinding the coil of being and discovering who I AM?

I cast into the flame the lineup of the former self of me.  Into the flame, for I would stand as one ascended-master light before you.

Thus I am, in the fullness of joy, the Lanello of your heart.  And you may address me:  “Lanello of my heart!” and call to me to come forth.  And then you will understand how true it is:  I AM the Buddha, meditating in your heart for the coming of the Mother.

And as I am there, she will surely come in a new garment and a new mode.  And you will perceive, also, the Shakti of your I AM Presence as a new vision of the flame of I,  Eva –“mother of all living.”  From the beginning unto the ending, I AM.  I AM, now, the last man who is Christ the Lord.

I seal you in the sign of Omega.  I seal you in the sign of Alpha.  I seal you in the mandala of the Father/Mother Presence that we are unto you until you yourself become the Father/Mother light.

Let us go to Lake Titicaca now, and with the God and Goddess Meru contemplate the Great White Brotherhood’s next move on the chessboard of international politics–a subject in which we delight.  [Laughter.]

Good night, my beloved.

Ascended Master Lanello’s Ascension Day

Mark Prophet at LaTourelle Altar

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.”
