THE RADIANT WORD

Excerpt from a dictation by the Maha Chohan
“Espouse the Flame of the Cosmic Virgin”
given July 22, 1973
on Ascension Hill, Land of Lanello
on the Lake of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho

The rod of the Holy Spirit is held in the hand, the right hand, of the Representative of the Holy Spirit. I am that representative to this earth and its evolutions. I hold the scepter of authority that is the discipline of the Law of man’s own true Being. For unless and until man’s energies are aligned with the inner Law of his own Being, he cannot receive the Holy Ghost. And until he receives the Holy Ghost, he does not experience the rebirth and the preparation of the body temple whereby he is prepared to become immortal, whereby the human is replaced by the Divine.

Some of you understand the line and the measure of the building of a house, as Jesus learned in his work as the carpenter of Nazareth. You understand that if one side of the house is crooked, all will be crooked, like the crooked man who had a crooked house, who walked the crooked mile. <1> Man’s consciousness has been crooked for many thousands of years; and once the foundation of life is based upon the crookedness of the mortal consciousness with all of its dying, its endless dyings, then all that ensues must also be crooked.

When you think about building the City Foursquare and the temple therein in the being of man, it is sometimes necessary for the Master Architect and the Master Builder to tear down all that you have builded back to the very foundation to show you how that foundation was crooked from the start, hence no subsequent building could result in the perfect manifestation of the divine blueprint. Thus when some disciples of Christ who consider themselves to be devotees of long standing come into the teachings of the Brotherhood, they find, at first, less response from heaven, less fervor within their hearts, and only the toilsome sense of burden day by day as they give their decrees diligently and yet find no immediate signs of progress and perhaps even a backward step, a retrogression.

Let those who come newly into the teachings of the Ascended Masters, who rejoice to find the true Path, understand that when you were babes in Christ, you enjoyed a certain amount of freedom in the playpen of God’s universe. And you frolicked and enjoyed the radiations that emanated from the Cosmic Christ, from Jesus the Christ and many other Ascended Masters whose identity you failed to recognize. Entering upon the true Path, you are required yourself to be the focal point for the emanations of the Christ for those babes in Christ who yet remain in the playpen of life, waiting to receive the milk of the Word from your hand.

In order for you to be a true representative of the Christ, as I am a true representative of the Holy Spirit, you must be willing not only to build but to tear down, to go back to the very foundation of being, to clear the land, to restore the divine blueprint of your identity, to secure the Christ as the corner stone, the stone which the mortal builders rejected <2> and which they therefore must now accept. For there is no other foundation that can be laid except your own Christ Self, your own Christ Consciousness, your own Christ Identity. <3>
