LECTURE TRANSCRIPT

THE DEATH INSTINCT

Igor Shafarevich is a Russian national and a dissident.  His writings on socialism and socialism as the instrument of the destruction of the individuality if based upon a very intimate living with and under the consciousness of socialism.  In other words, it is no longer theory or idealism, it is the observation in its practical application.  He noted the inevitable drift toward death in his article, “Socialism in Our Past and Future.”  He said that, “The attempt to realize the socialist ideal through equality and the destruction of hierarchy, through the destruction of private property, the destruction of religion, and the destruction of the family is merely the means for the attainment of the basic aim of socialism‑-the destruction of individuality.”

Now this is my observation but to me when a mind and a spirit of the caliber of Shafarevich, who ranks right along with Solzhenitsyn in his understanding of this battle of Armageddon, his comment is valuable.  And I think you should be familiar with his name, it’s spelled S-h-a-f-a-r-e-v-i-c-h.  It’s like “Shafer” or ShaFARevich.

And so, he says, “in order to realize the socialist ideal, equality and the destruction of hierarchy, the destruction of private property, the destruction of religion, the destruction of the family is only a means to an end and that end is to destroy the individual.  He then asks, “What will be the effect on life of a change in the spiritual atmosphere such that human individuality is destroyed in all its most essential forms.  Such a revolution would amount to the destruction of man, at least in the sense that has hitherto been contained in this concept.  This is why we think that the death of mankind is the inescapable, logical consequence of socialist ideology.”

Shafarevich then provides a tremendous insight into the bridge between communism and Satanism.  He observes, quote, “The organic connection between socialism and death is subconsciously or half-consciously felt by its followers without in the lest frightening them at all.  On the contrary, this is what gives the socialist movements their attraction and their motive force,” unquote.  It is in this sense that socialism becomes a religion of death.  This is further illustrated by the fact that, quote, “Religion predicts the end of our world, but only after the attainment of its ultimate aim which also supplies the meaning of its history.  But socialism attribute the end of mankind to some external accident and thus deprives its whole history of any meaning.”

Psychologists since Freud have noted that there are two basic instincts which, which drive man‑-the instinct of life and the instinct of death.  The instinct of death Freud called “thanatos.”  One characteristic of instinctual drives is that they function independently of and in a more powerful manner than reason. Since socialism derives its basic motivational drive from the death instinct, this explains as Shafarevich pointed out, quote, “The inability of socialist ideology to react to the results of experience or, as behaviorists would say, its inability to learn from its failures of the past.”

It is essential that we understand the relationship between communism and the death instinct and so I don’t want to leave this subject until I have made a few final points on it.  Communism perverts Father, Mother, Son and Holy Spirit. It perverts the path of the seven rays, the attainment of the Christic consciousness through the mastery of the Matter plane on the seven rays. It denies God hence the first commandment, the Father principle, “Thou shalt have no other Gods before me.”  The State becomes God.

Carl Jung analyzed communism in terms of a religion of this world. Morya has told me that communism is the religion of hatred, hatred at its core, and that it is the cult of death.  All of the trappings of the usual religion are there, the parades, the rituals, it has its Bible, it has its manifesto, its doctrine and its dogma.  No one dares go against this doctrine and dogma or their heads will be chopped off, they will be sent to Siberia, they become the enemies of the state and thus, you see that communism is really the instrument of the Satanist Church. We have the worship of death, the graven images, the images of death which are forbidden in the commandments, the image of the fallen ones, the idolatry of the fallen ones.  They are everywhere in Communist countries‑-huge pictures of leaders are draped in the major cities and on the walls everywhere.  And these are not the focalization of the God flame as the ascended masters but they are the focalization of the cult of death.

You have the tomb of Lenin in Moscow and the preservation of the body becomes a part of the religion. Day after day, blocks and blocks of people, lines, come to pay homage to this body, worshiping the dead heroes in place of the saints, saying that those who are dead, those who have not died in the Lord, are actually alive forever more when in fact they are not alive but they are passing through the judgment and many of them have already passed through the second death.

Now the most amazing teaching concerning the death instinct which Mother Mary gave to me as I was contemplating this writing of Igor Shafarevich has to do with the death instinct. Mother Mary said that the death instinct is only the perversion of the natural instinct for the ascension.  Now the ascension as we learn it according to the path of Gautama Buddha which he would call Nirvana, which is not quite the, the ascension but is a parallel path. It involves the extinguishing of the self in this plane.  Our sense of the ascension is that we invoke the magnitude of the light of the Sun, the magnitude of the light of the I AM Presence, and that which appears to be the self which is the not-self is translated and absorbed into and becomes wholly that living Presence of the Christ Self.  To the observer, a cloud received him out of their sight.  To the observer the individual is no more because he transcends or accelerates this plane. To the individual he has become the fullness of the Godhead bodily‑-the ascended master light-body.  One has become the incarnate Word in the plane of Spirit.

Now the only difference between death and the ascension is the annihilation of the self on this plane without passing through the ritual of the ascension currents or the ritual of the path leading to unification with that white light, that ritual being the lesser self giving way to the greater Self step by step.  And so, as is always true there is only a razor’s edge, a very fine line between truth and error, and here, between life and death.

We find that the fallen ones refuse to go through the ritual because the ritual involves bending the knee and confessing the incarnate Word, the Lord Christ.  So they say‑-Well if that’s the goal of life I don’t want to make the effort to get it by attainment so I’ll just cancel out on this plane.

I have studied the psychology of the fallen ones, I have been shown the akashic records of individuals in the retreats and I don’t have to go to the retreats to study these because the masters show them to me whenever I’m in the world whenever I’m in public places, wherever I happen to see people I begin receiving my tutoring in the souls of humanity and in their psychology. And I see people who are in the spirals of what I call, what Mother Mary has called, a “sweet death.”  It is easier to die spending ones daily allotment of energy upon oneself and the enjoyments of life than it is to make the effort to draw down energy, to transmute those lesser desires, those self indulgences, to pass through the pain and the crucifixion and to gain immortality.

We see that the source of the seed of the wicked, that from which they have descended from the creations of Lucifer and the offspring of the fallen ones is that, although their energy is made of God‑-they are made of God because all energy is God’s energy‑-the initial endowing of their life with the spark of God-desire, this tremendous desire to be God, is not there because the Luciferians could not endow their offspring with the desire which they did not have. And since they were committed to death, they endowed their offspring and their creations with the death wish, the desire for self annihilation.  And that endowment of the desire for self annihilation is done with a purpose.

The whole plot of the fallen ones is to have enough laggards, enough rebellious or perverse individuals in embodiment, all carrying out the death wish through self annihilation through the various cults and cultures we have described, through the process of drugs, the type of foods we have or the type of ways people express their energy.  All of this then is to set an example‑-the crowd, the in-group, are all going the way of sweet death.  So for an individual lifestream who is a child of God, who is endowed with the will to live, the desire for life, it means a tremendous crucifixion to go against the crowd, to be unpopular.

And so one of the philosophies of takeover is, populate the Earth with a creation that is anti-God, descendants of the fallen ones, and so that the children of the light will be outnumbered and will feel that somehow by popular opinion that they are outnumbered, that their concepts are wrong and that if they hold them they will be ostracized. And we all know what public opinion can do to people who do not have a very strong will and a very great courage and a very great vision. It is simply too hard for the individual, especially the child, the five, the six, the eight, the ten year old child, to go against the group activities of his peers.  And it seems very difficult for people who are later in life.  It is a terrible thing that it does to the psychology of the individual to be ostracized.

So, that drive to death becomes a part of a certain herd instinct, a certain collectivism that has become a part of lifestyle upon Earth.  And the more you get into the ascended masters’ teachings the less you find you have in common with people who are actually, unknowingly, the followers of the death, the death cult as they engage in phases of sweet death every day of their lives.

So here we find it, Serapis Bey says that the universal instinct to life is the real motivation and because no one has explained the process of the path of the ascension the only goal that can equate with it is the nihilism which they see as the Buddha. If they have no more of an understanding of the path of a Buddha than to say that it is nihilism obviously they are not capable of understanding the goal of life as the ascension.  Hence they are not going to perceive the universal life-wish for which they are incapable of interpreting.  For they are incapable of interpreting it either in a religion or in a social society which is in fact a community of the Holy Spirit.

Now my thesis is that all of the offspring of God, sons and daughters of God, and children of God have this universal life wish‑-this desire to become God; that because no one has taught them the philosophy of this desire the psychology of that desire, the government system that springs from that desire, the economic system that comes from it, the education and the science, they are easily caught up in the idealism of any one from Plato, to Marx, to Lenin, to all types of socialist thinkers of all time.  And because one or two elements of the teachings of these fallen ones ring true, they will cast the entire momentum of their being into it because there is something at the subconscious level, that desire to become or to transcend the self.  In its pure state, it is the ascension.  In its impure state it is that death and that annihilation and that nihilation is the philosophy of existentialism, of Sartre which we have seen a certain generation pass through.

It is most unfortunate because actually, when you come to the two paths that we are speaking of today, the path of life is the more simple, it is the easier, it is the more soul satisfying; it is by far and again the most happy path of being.  You see how quickly you can feel the flame of God-happiness when we come together in a spirit of unity and in communion and the true concept of community where we are all together as free agents of the Holy Spirit.  Think of it, we are in one place, of one accord exactly as they were on the day of Pentecost, they were together in one accord, in one place‑-that means they were in the spirit of God-harmony, in the Christ consciousness and at that point of oneness they formed the collective chalice and lo came the descent of the Holy Ghost and the rushing of the mighty wind and they were all filled with that light and that presence.

In the Soviet system today you are not free agents of the Holy Ghost, you are not even free agents of the state.  You are prisoners of the state and as far as coming together freely to worship God it is not permitted, it is persecuted.  Except for a few churches that are kept for western visitors, to see which are actually led by the communists themselves who have placed themselves in positions of power.  And the idea that you can walk into this meeting and walk out of it if you choose to do so, that there is no coercion whatsoever to the path of initiation‑-that the entire path from the moment that you leave Alpha and Omega in the Great Central Sun till you the moment you return, is free will.  Your return is preordained but it is not predestined.

In other words, God has ordained that you have the right to return given that you fulfill his covenants but he does not predestine it in the sense of a psychic prediction.  He is not predicting in the sense that he has cast a mold that you must follow; you out of the free will integration with the Trinity and your causal body carve that path and make it home and therefore produce a new individualization of the God flame out of the fiery blueprint.  But the given fiery blueprint that God makes, its potential is so vast that it provides for section, it provides for choices.  And I am certain that most of you can see in your lives that you could have chosen to be or to do anyone of a dozen things and that those avenues and those options have been opened to you and they are still open to you.  And out of the ingenuity of the genius of the Christ within you, you have made your selections, you have made correct choices and incorrect choices; and God isn’t concerned with whether or not they are correct or incorrect, he is concerned with whether or not you have learned from the experience.

And so we do not see sin as something that we should forevermore feel condemned by or the departure from the law or the making of karma.  It is the unfortunate; we know we have a price to pay, we have incurred a debt; we will pay off that debt but the sense of eternal damnation or condemnation is a figment of the mind of the demons and the fallen ones who imagine the torment of the second death and who have made that torment, which only they pass through, a part of Christian theology.

Our little children were discussing at the meal table how ridiculous was the concept of burning forever in hell. It simply is not logical. It isn’t basic physics or chemistry‑-something cannot burn forever (audience laughs) and the something that is supposed to burn forever happens to be God’s energy which someone has invested in a crude, to say the lest, and improper creation.  Now God is not worthy of burning forever.  God is not going to burn forever in hell and there isn’t anything but God in this universe. And therefore, what God does, he passes through the misqualified energy and the abused identities and those evolutions that have not chosen by free will to become with him‑-and with one passing through the ascension flame, the identity is cast, is canceled out‑-and the identity is canceled out and that energy is relieved of the burden and the matrix of the mind of man and that energy returns to the Great Central Sun as the great reservoir of light.

Now we know how to purify water. We know how to refine oil. We know how to refine gold, so why wouldn’t God know how to purify this own stream of consciousness that he has placed on loan to all evolutions in this cosmos?  Well this doctrine of damnation is a part of the doctrine of the damned.  It is a part of the cult of death.  And when we allow ourselves to become entwined with this concept of shame and guilt, we forget that free will involves choices. God knows this. He gave us free will. He gives us the best of himself, the best teaching, the best enlightenment and if we refuse to hear it in a given lifetime then we are deprived of it and then we are ignorant of the law and then we make mistakes and we break the law and we suffer from our own ignorance.  And we suffer from the misqualified energy.

But the day we call upon the law of forgiveness, the day that we repent and we invoke the light of God for the remission of our sins, the day we come before the altar of God and confess that Jesus Christ has come to be the saviour, the one who initiates us in our own individual Christ Self and that the ascension is the goal of life‑-that day God receives us.  That doesn’t mean to say on that particular moment every burden is removed, it means that once again we reestablish the guru-chela relationship and we say I will pass through the door, the open door of my Christ Self and I will balance every jot and tittle of the law and I will return to the circle of the One.  And the day we make that statement, that day God lovingly receives the prodigal son and begins to tutor us once again.

So this concept of free will is not a part of the cult of death or the religion of hatred. I’d like to point out that the seemingly inexhaustible energy of the socialists arises from the fact that many of the people who have been a part of the mass-murders and of the perpetuation of this diabolical philosophy have already passed through the judgment, the final judgment.  And even though they are still in physical embodiment‑-even though the outer house or temple is there, the soul may be in the process of the second death.  And so it is entirely possible for individuals occupying space and time on the planetary body to have already gone through the process of spiritual death because they have spent their entire life on accentuating death‑-you might say giving life to death.  So they have become living death.

And so Jesus spoke about the living dead.  He said “ye are full of dead men’s bones.”  He passed the tremendous judgment upon the Sadducees and Pharisees and said “woe to ye, ye lawyers” and pointed out and said “ye yourselves do not enter into the kingdom of God and you prevent those who would enter from entering in.”  Now if he knew that they were not entering in, then they must have already gone through the judgment and they must already have been found wanting because they were of the original seed of the wicked who rebelled against the incarnate word and whose time was up, and therefore they simply remained outer-functioning egos with the shells of the four lower bodies but they had no light in them.

Now when a person is in that state of what is called the degeneration spiral, what happens is that the resurrection spiral comes upon them but because they have no identity in God, the resurrection spiral liberates the energy that they have used to fashion an identity that is apart from God. And therefore, it is a process of disintegrating or the separation of the breakdown of substance that has been used to make up that individuality that is anti-God.  And so the judgment is always the descent of great light and when that great light, then, comes upon the individual who has gone through the judgment and who has nothing but darkness in him, God, through the judgment, is reclaiming the energy.  So the spiral sets in and we see what we call a disintegration spiral or a decay rate.

You watch such individuals and you see people moving, then, on in life and you see the signs of old age and death.  And they come to all. They come to light-bearer and to the fallen ones alike; but the signs of maturing, the signs of age have different meanings and you can only tell the difference by vibration. In one individual, the light-bearer, the energy is spiraling over the ascension coil back to the casual body in preparation for the day when ultimately the soul itself will reunite with the Christ Self and be born again, born anew of the Spirit in the ascended master state.  The other is the case where the individual will not retain an identity.  His energies are cycling back to the universal causal body of God and when all has cycled back there is no identity left.

And so the final canceling out of the last record and memory of an individual is the ultimate conclusion of second death. So everything that these people is, are, everything that they ever have been is in the process of dying or in the process of disintegrating.  Now when this occurs, it’s like the decay of any substance in Matter. It’s like making fuel, fossil fuel from decaying substance.  There is a tremendous side effect of energy. Oil, for instance, is produced out of decayed Matter.  This shows us that in decaying Matter, is new energy, is the perpetual energy that is God.  And so through this process of alchemy and transmutation things are being changed into other things.

So what I am leading to is the understanding that people who have been judged, people who are committed to death to the end and have no intention of coming before the Lord God and making amends‑-they seem to have a lot of energy.  This energy will manifest as personal magnetism, as what we call glamour‑-glamour is another word for maya or illusion‑-maya, glamour and the substance of karma.  They will oftentimes manifest great wealth as well as genius as well as a certain ability to manipulate and magnetize; because all of God’s energy that is in them is on the surface because it is in the state of decay. And when you become supersensitive to light, as the ascension flame; when you become the pulsation of the ascension flame by the process of initiation you will know when you are standing near people or mixing with people who seem to have a brilliance, who seem to have a silvery black sort of flashiness.

Many of these people you find in the entertainment industry even as you find many sons and daughters of God and of light in the entertainment industry. Some of these people who have gone through the judgment and are in this rate of disintegration must be before the public because they must get their energy by applause, by sympathy, by being read about in various magazines‑-their personal lives and all of the sympathy and all of the sexual attraction that goes to them becomes the basic misuse of the life force which is in the process of returning to the Great Central Sun.

So we do have two types of people on the planet‑-we have the living dead and we have the quickened, who are quickened to eternal life and often they do not have the sparkle of the jet set or the sophisticated ones, because all of their life is going to build the great seamless garment, the deathless solar body which they must have in order to pass from this octave to the next.  It is building the kingdom of God in heaven which is their great causal body.

So what will show on the surface of a light-bearer is the present state of his karma and what he is working out‑-just like when you see Jesus hanging on the cross, if you didn’t know the outcome if you didn’t have the vision of him on resurrection morn or in the ascension place at Bethany, you would think that his looked like a very defeated individual.  Well many people who carry the cross then, may not have the appearance of having the great light that is in the interior castle that is being stored in the inner soul for the hour of this alchemical transformation, the ascension itself.

So as Morya mentioned to me some months ago in a lesson that he taught me, all that glitters is not gold.  Often have you heard that told.  But you must look and observe that even Jesus was not recognizable in the garden of Gethsemane.  He appeared just like his disciples and he had to be pointed out and betrayed by Judas.  You would think that the great avatar of the Piscean age having balanced all but a few percent of his karma, would have been a dazzling, brilliant, blazing light and that he would, you couldn’t have missed him for block away wouldn’t you?

[Audience answers yes.]

Whereas some of our Luciferians and fallen ones who are the great heroes of our time or the rock stars, make a tremendous impact.  I mean, you can feel them and you know their presence from quite a distance.  And so it’s a very interesting thing this commentary.

o we find that in order to survive communism must constantly be engaged somewhere upon the planet in the ritual of death.  This is another point that Mother Mary made to me.  Mother Mary is at the very side of every lifestream who suffers the brutality and the murder of the communist hordes today‑-she is there at the passing of their souls and she has taught me that without the death of these individuals communism would not survive. Why?  Well, since 197, 1917 the murder of light-bearers has not ceased.  The death and tortures that we have not always heard of but that have been going on continuously are Christians and Jews in concentration camps behind the Iron Curtain.

Richard Wurmbrand, himself a Jew, converted to Christ in Romania, was a victim of communist prisons there for fourteen years.  He writes of a pastor who was tortured with red-hot iron pokers and knives and then severely beaten.  Starving rats were driven into his cell.  He was forced to stand for two weeks.  Some people were hung upside down and beaten.  Others repeatedly frozen and thawed, frozen and thawed. He explains how a doctor is on hand looking through a window and just when the prisoners reach a point were death would follow if they were any colder, they are taken out of the cold and put into the heat‑-and likewise when they are placed in the heat the same thing.  And so they employ the medical profession to supervise the torture.

“What the Communists have done to Christians surpasses any possibility of human understanding,” Reverent Wurmbrand writes. “I have seen communists torturing Christians and the faces of the torturers shone with rapturous joy.  They cried out while torturing the Christians ‘we are the devil.'”

In the Satanic Bible, La Vey explains that during the blood ritual the release of the life force “is not effected in the actual spilling of blood, but in the death throes of the living creature.  It is the discharge of bio-electrical energy, bio-electrical energy.”  Now we see why the Satanism must torture his victim because in the very process of torture, the process of the crucifixion, the process of pain that there is the release of the most tremendous Christ light‑-as we can imagine the Christ light and the Christ Presence within the individual releasing that energy to draw the soul up into a high plane.  So we have spoken of the spilling of blood as the spilling of the substance in the body that carries the light and this is true.

But the original Satan is himself gives us another understanding‑-that the death throes of the living creature are what is most satisfying to the fallen ones and the demons who come, then, on the astral plane and on the physical plane to absorb that energy.  In other words, not only is this a religion of hatred and a cult of death, but this is the activity of vampires.

Now I would suggest that you read all of the books by Richard Wurmbrand, they are in our bookstore.  They are very vital.  They are the basic understanding of a person who is a fundamental Lutheran minister.  Without the further understanding of the teachings of the ascended masters, however, his writings give you a profound document of the faith of disciples of Christ and as an indictment of world Communism.

So you see that the rapturous joy with which the faces of the torturers is shining, is the reflective light from the Christ in those whom they re persecuting‑-the energy of the Christ itself. And that rapturous joy is the drinking in, as it were, of the blood of the martyrs is the light of the martyr and in this process of cruelty, in the process of massacre and butchering, the lighter-bearer, this is where the release of light is and this, my beloved ones, is the energy that is feeding today world Communism.  This is the energy whereby the dragon of World Communism is spreading its cancer throughout the earth. It lives on secondary energy.  It lives on the minerals, the natural resources, the oil of the west. It lives on our technology.  It lives on our wheat.  It lives on our money.  It lives on everything that we have and give so freely in our free society.

But at the foundation of all of that is this, that the fallen ones have been denied the sacred Eucharist, the body and blood of Christ.  Christ Jesus does not impart to them his body and his blood.  They cannot come and receive that body at the altar of the Church and, therefore, they must get it by other means and they are seizing the Eucharist in the torture of their victims.

What does that tell you?  It tells you that the fallen ones know that the child of God is the Word incarnate.  Yet, they have infiltrated the religion of the children of God and told them just the opposite, “you are not the children of God, you are sinners. You are damned. You are damned to eternal hell.”  When in fact they themselves are the ones who have been judged for the second death.

So, while they know the truth, while they are not atheists, while they believe in God and know that his Word incarnates I his children, they say the opposite and they steal the life-force through this torture. Communism is a death ritual based, therefore, upon the religion of Satan.  It has to have its cult of death because it must have the blood of the martyrs, the blood of their bodies.  It’s the same blood of Jesus Christ.

The demons on the astral plane who give energy to the physical momentum cannot live without the drinking of that blood. Wherever there are the dead bodies of the saints, astral hordes come and they siphon the light out of that blood. In the human sacrifice of the martyrs whether these souls are Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Moslem, Jew or of no religion, whether born again and converted by the Holy Spirit or not, the seed of Almighty God in the earth is the only source of light that these embodied demons have and the light comes directly from the blood and from the release of energy as I’ve explained. When this blood is spilled upon the ground there is a release of tremendous energy which actually is locked in the cellular pattern of the blood.

If you’ve studied psychology, if you’ve looked and studied cells you see that the cell is a living cosmos in itself.  It has its central sun, its centrosome. It has the means of self-producing. The cell itself is a pattern of cosmic life, it is a pattern of God, and locked within the physical cell is the white fire core of energy that is Alpha and Omega. And, in death the cells break and that light is emitted.

Now, the fallen ones no longer have that light at the core of their cells.  In fact, that core of each living cell is the God-desire for life. And, Alpha says that the means of reproduction that we see no more so astounding than the individual cell itself, at the core of it is the blueprint, is the fire of Alpha, the desire to be God, the desire for life.

Those who have denied the Work incarnate, the fallen ones, have forfeited that impetus within the fiery core of the cell and, therefore, now that is replaced with the death desire, the desire not to be. Why?  Because Alpha himself who places himself in every cell desires to be free of that mold of anti-God, anti-Christ. So, it is really the desire of the energy to be free from the matrix. It is the desire of the energy to return to the source. It translates to the fallen ones as the desire for death and, therefore, death becomes the focal point of the altar of the Satanic Church of World Communism, of World Socialism.

I would like to mention to you that the Czar Nicholas, the final Czar of Russia who was overthrown, his wife Alexandra, their four daughters and their son were initiates on the Path of the sacred fire working under the Great White Brotherhood.  I do not say that they were perfect individuals. We do know in the study of the Czar and of the period in Russia prior to the Communist revolution that the reforms of the Czar and the reshaping and the remolding of the government of Russia into a more representative type of government was giving far more to the people than ever has occurred through World Communism.  That phase of history is completely wiped out for the benefit of the Russian people, but nevertheless it is so.

Now, the initiation of the cult of death in this initial murder of the Czar and his family was the impetus for the religion of hatred and the cult of death that followed. Because we are personally so intimately involved in that episode, I would like to read to you the description of it. It is taken from firsthand accounts by Robert K. Massey in his work on the history and the fall of imperial Russia entitled Nicholas and Alexandra. We showed this movie at one of our recent conferences.  I feel the book and the movie are a very, very important study in the psychology of Communism.

When all were assembled, Yurovsky reentered the room, followed by his entire Cheka squad carrying revolvers.  He stepped forward and declared quickly,  “Your relations have tried to save you. They have failed, and we must now shoot you.” Nicholas, his arms still around Alexis, began to rise from his chair to protect his wife and son. He had just time to say “What‑-“before Yurovsky pointed his revolver directly at Czar’s head and fired. Nicholas died instantly. At this signal the entire squad of executioners began to shoot. Alexandra had time only to raise her hand and make the sign of the cross before she too was killed by a single bullet. All but Tatiana and Marie standing behind their mother were hit and died quickly.  Botkin, Kharatinov, and Trupp also fell in the hail of bullets. Demidova, the maid, survived the first volley and rather than reload, the executions took rifles from the next room and pursued her, stabbing with bayonets. Screaming, running back and forth along the wall like a trapped animal, she tried to fend them off with a cushion. At last she fell, pierced by the bayonets more than thirty times.  Jimmy the spaniel was killed when his head was crushed by a rifle butt. The room filled with the smoke and stench of gunpowder became suddenly quiet. Blood was running in streams from the bodies on the floor. Then there was a movement and a low groan. Alexis, lying on the floor, still in the arms of the Czar, feebly moved his hand to clutch his father’s coat.  Savagely, one of the executioners kicked the Tsarevich in the head with his heavy boot. Yurovsky stepped up and fired two shots into the boy’s ear. Just at that moment, Anastasia, who had only fainted, regained consciousness and screamed.  With bayonets and rifle butts the entire band turned on her. In a moment, she, too, lay still. It was ended.

Now, this scene, the initial release of the light of seven lifestreams who were on the Path of Christhood gave World Communism and the Communist revolution its initial impetus, a tremendous amount of light stolen there from the lightbearers.  All which followed, the cost in human lives, upwards of 45 million people have been brutally murdered by World Communism since that hour, has been in much the same manner all to feed the mass entity, the dragon.

I read that to you because as I said we were a part of that experience, Mark and myself, and to tell you anymore would be to give information that I am not permitted to give in this hour.  But suffice it to say that Camelot and the coming together again of the initiates of the sacred fire is our opportunity, the opportunity of lightbearers who have been the martyrs over the centuries, nation upon nation of this type of brutality, murder and persecution, all types of abuses incomparable and unimaginable.

The lesson to be learned here is that we have a unique opportunity and, perhaps, we do not know a brief opportunity to reclaim the light, to be together, to regroup our forces, to set forth for the people of this world once and for all the exposure of the lie and the exposure of the truth. It is not so important to us how we pass from the screen of life or when. What is important is that we leave footprints in the sands of time, that we leave a way out for those who will follow us and who will suffer the same brutalities, the same murder, the same devouring of the beasts of prey. It is to show the children of the light that the way out is not to build a perpetual city of this world, but building the kingdom of God as the consciousness of God.  That given the mortal frame we all pass through transition. It is eternal life; it is life individualized in the ascension flame.  It is life realized through the desire to be God that swallows up and transmutes the death desire.  This is what we would do.  This is what we are about.

We are not trying to create and build a temple to preserve our personality, to preserve a record for human greatness or human worth.  It is that we see that the great worth of the individual is God.  That this God in his essence, in his energy and in his consciousness must not be allowed to slip into the hands of the fallen ones.  They must not be allowed to take this sacred energy that we have won through crucifixion, through many incarnations of service and use it to build a monolith to the destruction of the individualization of the God flame upon earth.

This exposure which we will publish will be published simultaneously with a book that has been waiting publication for some years.  It is the Dossier on the Ascension by beloved Serapis Bey.  This will be coming out in the coming months, and it contains a very complete statement of the law and of the path of the ascension.  There is no document of its kind available to lightbearers today.

The awakening of the people of earth to the life wish and how through the sacred fire all that is of death and the desire for death is transmuted and translated into the original God-desire which God has placed in his children.  I feel that always and always when there is the exposure of the lie there must be the exposure of the truth that counteracts the lie and this is the weakness that I always see in the well meaning and good souls of light who do their best but do so with a limited understanding.  That yes, there have been endless exposures, even that of Igor Shafarevich which I found very helpful as I was studying this entire matter, and yet when he came to the conclusion of his exposure, he had no answer, he had no solution, he had nothing to propose.  He said well, this death wish is universal, it’s universal in the people.  He said even when you approach the Socialist or the Communist and they know that what they are doing ultimately leads to death and the destruction of the individual, their minds are not changed.  In other words, that subconscious desire is more powerful than reason.

The reason that you present to attempt to convert someone away from Socialism and Communism to the Path of initiation is not sufficient.  The only way is by conversion because subconscious desire must be changed it, it must be changed in the twinkling of an eye into God-desire and life-desire, and if you cannot effect that conversion by the Holy Ghost, you will find as many who have gone before you, you do not have the power to convince by reason the individual who is in the spiral and in the grip of the subconscious death wish.

And, so the most amazing thing about Socialists and Communists is that they may have their eyes wide open to where all of this leads and they may be proceeding on the path of the death wish thoroughly a part of it knowing that self-annihilation is the end and they may have a conscious or a semi-conscious awareness of it. They are not oblivious to the fact of the millions and millions who have been murdered and slaughtered through that revolution.

In the very early days two or three hundred thousand were immediately butchered in the same manner as the Czar. In communist China a minimum of 34 million lives, and the total may run as high as 64 million people, who had to be murdered because they opposed the coming of World Communism, who had to be murdered because they were of the light and their light was necessary to feed the dragon of World Communism.  The cost of bring communism to other countries have been equally staggering.

And, perhaps, the worst and most recent case is that of Cambodia, once the cultural center of Southeast Asia. Estimates of the numbers murdered there range from 2.5 million to 3 million.  That is in the last two or three years. This is roughly one half of the 1975 population of the entire country.  Now, there is scarcely anyone in the free world today who does not know that this is happening in Cambodia. It is common knowledge in the United States. Solzhenitsyn referred to Vietnam and I believe Cambodia in his speech saying that the Liberals of the 60’s, the anti-war demonstrations could take upon themselves the responsibility for these millions of deaths.

But, what do we have happening?  Do we have those who are Socialists in our country today‑-they don’t call themselves Socialists, they call themselves Liberals or part of the Left Wing. Now, you may have left wing convictions and be a liberal politically, and you may not realize that the foundation of some of your political views re the very elements and psychology that I have mentioned here. All of the issues and all of the foundations of politics need to be examined very carefully and I am certainly not one who will make sweeping generalizations or point the finger to groups of people because I know that there are people of light in every end of the spectrum.  But, basically the drift toward Socialism moves as you get farther and farther left in politics.

Now, these people who happen to also be dead set against the Vietnam war, they know about the deaths in Cambodia, and there’s a few peeps coming out from a few of them here and there, saying “We ought to do something about Cambodia. The UN ought to do something about it, something should be done.”  And the matter is resting. We don’t hear a lot of fanfare, which proves the point that makes. He says that even though they know it is a cult of death and death is in the wake of every, everywhere that takeover comes, they still are a part of the religion of Socialism.  They still are not moved.

So fact, figures and reason do not have the ability to change.  There is only one element that has it.  It is the conversion of the Holy Ghost.  This is why I have such emphasis on the Holy Spirit in my teaching at Summit University.  In my life, I know that not one of us can do the job at hand without pursuing actively the requirement for receiving the graces and the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit. And the only people who have ever seen in the world who are effective are those who have some infilling, some energy of that Holy Ghost.

The Lord Maha Chohan has given many Pearls of Wisdom which I am in the process of preparing for publication. The getting of the Holy Ghost on the path of the ascended masters comes through the intense use of the violet flame, which means the proper preparation of the temple and of the chalice.  When the temple is prepared, when the chalice is prepared, then the Godhead can dwell within that temple. A sudden getting of a certain portion of the Holy Ghost because of pleading with the Lord or the more repetition of the name of Jesus is not the path outline by the ascended masters. They want the full requirement of the law which is the balancing of your karma.  They want a gradual increase and step-up of your light of the Holy Spirit, measure for measure as you are able to guard and contain that energy in harmony.  They want you taking full responsibility for your diseases, for your sicknesses, for your human habit patterns from all of limitation because they ant you to be the shining example of what it is to have that full God mastery, to be in embodiment and to have the attainment as it were, of an unascended ascended master, or an unascended master.

You can make your ascension by balancing fifty-one percent of your karma.  There are those among you who, if you follow the Path diligently will balance that fifty-one percent and will still have a number of decades to your lift span. So I say, when you reach the fifty-one percent mark, you are as though you were an ascended master, so I have coined that term an unascended ascended master.  You have forfeited your ascension and you are in embodiment an example of that portion of life.

Who reads the example?  All the souls on the planetary body read.  At the soul level we know who has light and we know where to go to get that light. At the level of the outer mind we are programmed away from the light. And so when you set up the example of the great spiral of God consciousness al over the world people are aware that in Peru, in Bolivia, in Canada, in Greenland there is an individual who has light. And then they watch the actions of that individual, their integrity, their honor, their love, their dealings, and that becomes a standard.

So the fallen ones are always trying to get the children of God and the light-bearers to compromise their standard so they can point the finger and say “See, they do it, so it must be okay. It must be all right to compromise your standard, it must be all right to take payoffs, it must be all right to play dirty pool in politics just as long as you get power.”

And so all of those things, the example is to set by the fallen ones, it appears to be glamorous, it appears to be enjoyable, it appears to reward individuals with all of the happiness of this world, and so the children of light are tempted, they haven’t heard of the Path of the ascension, they don’t understand the immense dangers that we are under in this massive cult of death and this religion of hatred. And so people very easily stray from the Path because they have never understood the Path in the first place.

So the conclusion of this portion of my message to you today is a plea also; a plea, not for myself but for the blessed Mother Mary, and the plea to help the ascended masters get the message, not only of the truth but the exposure of the lie that is the perversion of the truth.  Help the ascended masters get that message to more and more people so that the more and more people can hold the more and more light so that we can hold the balance for our planet and stand and still stand for the judgment of the fallen ones and through that judgment to be standing and holding the balance beyond that hour so that following the judgment we may see the dawn and the enlightenment truly of the new age.  Thank you.
