The Proclamation of the Heralds of All Time
The angels of the Lord sound their trumpets! And the herald of the Christed One stands forth to make his paths straight!1 I AM come in this age to renew the fire—the fire that, infolding itself, burns through the consciousness of humanity and prepares the place where Christ is born!2 I come as the herald of the Christed ones; I come to prepare the place.
And so Saint Germain has come with the gift of the violet flame, summoning mankind to make straight the paths of consciousness, the way of the flow of light within the receptacle of being. And so the violet flame has been called forth and earth has been saturated with the presence of Omri-Tas and the one hundred and forty-four thousand priests of the sacred fire of the violet planet.
Preparing avenues of consciousness, the ascended masters have used the torch of sacred fire carried by Keepers of the Flame to bore holes in the density of mankind’s consciousness. For in order for the Christed ones to appear, in order for the ascended masters to become physical and to walk tangibly with men, the place must be prepared, the frequencies must be raised.
There must be a meeting ground for heaven and earth, and that is the place of the heart. Your heart is the receiver of God, of Christed ones; and the womb of the Divine Mother is the recipient of the seed of Alpha for the birth of the Divine Manchild. Therefore, as Christed ones, welcome the King of Kings and Lord of Lords into your heart! As flames of the Divine Mother, cherish the incarnation of the Christ!
It is the materialization of the God flame that we pursue to make earth a haven of light that all mankind might know the kingdom of God within and without, the conformity of sacred law. And so he said, “I AM come to send fire on earth!”3—the words of Jesus signifying his destiny and his mission.
Let each of you take, then, the fire which I carry this day! From the altars of Almighty God, I carry the torch that was carried by the Ancient of Days,4 first Keeper of the Flame to Terra—and then Gautama and then Maitreya and then all those who are the forerunners of the lightbearers. So these fires from the altar of Almighty God I bring. I deposit them within your hearts. Be carriers of the flame and keep that flame unto the end of cycles! It is your name! It is your identity! It is your individuality!
The flame is the essence of awareness. Though all else may fail and come to naught and the empires of men crumble around you, the flame shall burn on supreme. And one day your soul shall be absorbed within the flame even as you have willingly, gladly seized the fire to focus it within your heart in this hour of the victory. Let the fire burn on! Let the Holy Ghost come forth! Let the souls of God fired with the cube of the City Foursquare be united for the victory!5
I come to amalgamate the body of God on earth. I come to draw, by the magnet of the Great Central Sun, all of the cells of the New Jerusalem into the desert of our God.6 Come forth, sons and daughters of God! Come into the union of sacred fire! Fear not, O messenger of the Most High, to call all of the components of the body of God into the oneness of the flame! “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord!”7 So let there be one flame, one cavity into which all souls of light flow. Let that cavity be the arms raised up of the Divine Mother prepared to receive the Manchild of each one.
I come as the messenger of the feminine ray. I come to clear the way of the chakras. I come to clear the channel of the flow of light within you. Prepare ye! Prepare ye! Hear ye, my precious ones: Is any sacrifice too great? Is any thing too hard for the Lord?1 When you are willing to sacrifice the debris of the human consciousness, then the Lord will come into his temple with a rushing of a mighty wind, with the roaring of the sound of many waters.9 So the Holy Ghost will come in—into that clear flowing channel of light. So will the rising of the fountain of the Divine Mother be.
I come as the herald of the mission of the Cosmic Virgin. I come to proclaim the Divine Mother as the center of the true Church Universal and Triumphant. I come to proclaim the victory of that life flowing within you, and I come to sustain purity at every hour of the day and night. And I say, be healed of your struggle! Be raised on high! Be lifted up as the serpent in the wilderness!10 So let that energy be raised! Let it be sealed in the forehead and in the crown that you might present yourselves unto God as wise virgins trimming your lamps for the coming of the Christed One.11
Twenty-four hours a day the cycles of the threefold flame turn; and in those cycles the Elohim and the archangels and the chohans of the rays, forming the trinity of the Godhead, release into your heart and into your chakras the energies for the victory. And as these energies are released unto the lightbearers, they form electrodes of light that magnetize all the body of God into the fold of the ascended masters.
Now see them come! Now see the angelic hosts drawing the children of light! And there shall be one shepherd and one fold.12 I AM the fire infolding itself! And I am holding the Divine Manchild within my arms ready to give that Manchild unto the Divine Mother when the place is prepared, when the consciousness of mankind has been sufficiently raised. Therefore, hear ye! Give birth to the avatar of the age by clearing the way, by being a majority with God in love, oneness enfired in the heart.
Had they not come out to be baptized, had they not been drawn into the flame of the Holy Spirit, the mission of the Christed One should not have been fulfilled. Understand that the forerunners of the race, the avant-garde of each dispensation, are those who come out to make themselves a separate people chosen of God.13 They separate their ways from the ways of the world, for they have heard the word of the Lord “My ways are not your ways.”14 Those who separate themselves a chosen people see to it that the way of the flow of the energy of the Mother within comes into conformity with the way of the flow of the energy of God.
Let this be, then, the proclamation of the heralds of all time as I anoint you now also in the office of the herald of the messenger of the age. Therefore, proclaim the messenger as the one who comes to teach the law of the ascended masters. Therefore, go forth carrying the message, carrying the banner of the Divine Mother and of Maitreya, the Great Initiator, who initiates souls of light into the cosmic cube at the hand of the Mother. Therefore, be heralds! Take up the mission and the calling of John the Baptist! Take up the mission and the calling of the fires of the ascension, and see how that fire deposited within your hearts this day will be the magnet of the central sun. See how, as the Pied Piper, you shall draw the children of the light into the fire of the Holy of Holies.
Now let the fire come forth from the sun of even pressure, from the soul of a planet, the soul of a cosmos, the soul of the City of the Angels, and the soul of each lifestream! Let that fire be the fusing of the five secret rays! Let that fire be action, interaction, God-action for the victory!
I AM proclaiming the way of the coming of the Christed One! I AM the messenger of your ascension, of your divinity! I speak in the name of the I AM Presence of each one, and I speak in that name that the flow might be sealed. In the name of Almighty God, be healed! Be healed! Be healed!
