Love That Has the Courage to Be
A Fourteen-Month Spiral of Our Heart:
A Path of Initiation Whereby Love Is Perfected in Love
Out of the Herculean cycles of God, Elohim—light descends! And I AM come joyously in the white flame, in the white fire, in the whiteness of His glory, to seal you in ascension’s flame.
I AM the hierarch of Luxor come again to magnetize you to the very fire of the heart! Thus I have given to you, through the messenger, some of the instruction which I give in the retreat of Luxor concerning the entering into the point of the heart before releasing the sound of the Word. <1>
Necessity is the mother of invention. And truly necessity is the mother of ascension’s flame.
Blessed hearts, the hour is come. For with the passing of the cycle of this day there will be the fulfillment of the fourteen-month cycle of ascension’s release of wisdom’s fire. <2> This class has been a great boon to increase your own God-capacity for God’s awareness of purity anointed by wisdom—and wisdom anointed by purity.
The wisdom of the Christed ones, coming under the sign of the Piscean conquerors, is symbolized in the beautiful feet of the Saviour and the preacher of the Word of righteousness. The anointing of the feet of the Master by the would-be disciple is the acknowledgment “How precious are thy feet, O Lord! I would anoint, by the purity of my heart’s devotion, the wisdom of thy Word.”
Thus, upon the foundation of wisdom do men stand. And some stand not so tall at all, for their wisdom is not founded on the Rock. <3>
Feet firmly planted upon the wisdom of Christ, I bid you—Go forward! Follow in his footsteps. And when you press your feet into his own footprints in the sands of time and space, you may hear the groan of a heart burdened by the planetary momentums of sin or by the betrayal of a close disciple. But you will also hear the fiat of light that dispels all of that and pushes it back spherically:
|
|
Let there be light! |
Pressing your precious feet—disciple’s feet—within the master blueprint of the inner walk with God, you can attune to the meditations of the Saviour’s heart, to his communion with angels, their songs of comfort and praise when no praise or comfort were forthcoming, even from his own.
Would you learn to listen with the sole of your feet? Blessed hearts, every part of the mystical body of God within you contains the elements of every other part. Yes, you can listen to the heartbeat of Mother Earth through the sole of the feet. Yes, you can sense the Homeward path and follow it—blindfolded, if necessary—because of the sensitivity of the points of the five secret rays within you: the precious hands that extend healing, love, comfort; and the sign of the Word incarnate, the precious feet; and the eighth chakra of the secret chamber of the heart where thou art, I pray, with thy God as Father, Mother, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Thus, without in any way reducing the momentum of the first fourteen-month cycle (of purity multiplied by purity, Alpha enhanced by Omega) and the second (purity multiplying wisdom and wisdom revealing the purity of the mind of Christ)—we step into the spiral of love and love’s ray expressed as charity, compassion, chastening, purest love, and the Holy Spirit as the highest manifestation of love which is the dissolution by love’s purest, wisest judgment of all that is anti-love.
Thus, we press through the first and the second spheres and enter the pink sphere of this unfolding rose! And thus, the circle of petals of this spherical chamber move from the most delicate pink of sensitivity to the heart of the babe newly born, the throbbing of the bird in spring, sensitivity to the whispering of the sun, the delicate breezes, the burden of heart upon the loved one. Delicate shades of pink and golden pink glow-ray enfolding within move, then, to the more intense manifestations of the ruby light and theruby ray which, as the laser beam, must go forth in defense of love!
Blessed hearts, unless love had the built-in self-defense of its own self-preservation, the fallen ones would long ago have swallowed it up. But it was not to be. And it could not be. And it cannot. For you see, the ruby ray itself is the essential, I say, essential element of love whereby all anti-love, as hatred, is turned in upon itself and self-consumed.
Therefore, by the right hand of Serapis [messenger forms the abhaya mudra <5>], I send the ruby ray as radiating light, as the corona of this sphere of our causal body, even the causal body of the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood! Enter into our love and realize the protection of love as the ruby-ray siddhi <6> that goeth forth.
|
|
Siddhi! Thus, fearlessness flame is born out of the ruby ray. A love that is love at all has the courage to be! |
Blessed ones, in this fourteen-month spire abuilding from the spiral of our heart, there is the opportunity for you to enter a path of initiation whereby love is perfected in love.
There is a room at Luxor where this inscription is seen above the door: Love Is Perfected in Love. It is the name of a course as a path that is set. Those who knock upon this door are bidden to enter if they are determined to realize the fullness of love as the discipline of self for perfect givingness, perfect receivingness out of the rhythm of the cycles of Life. Those who are not prepared are sent first to the violet-flame rooms, there to tarry for a year or a century until all hatred be consumed.
We are aware of the dangers of self-hatred unto those who would present themselves before the ruby-ray masters. Therefore, lessons in psychology must be studied, lessons in personal momentums—why one works against one’s self to defeat one’s self in the mighty work of the ages.
Working the works of him that sent me, as Christ said and did, <7> is the action of the third ray, the third rung of Life—yet so often bypassed. See how they have replaced perfect love with mechanization man, with the pride of the ego, with ambition—all of these perversions of love and of its sweetest colorations.
There are so many substitutes for love upon earth that one can scarcely find a single petal of purest love among a thousand folk taken at random here or there! Men are so wont to accept a substitute for purest love.
My heart would almost falter in its beat in consideration of the immense loss to the children of God for their acceptance of the lesser loves of life.
Precious hearts, these lesser loves then become, once they are accepted, a matter of human habit patterns. And once people enter into the rote of human love, they do not consider again—often in decades or lifetimes—a higher path, a more intense spiral. And like the proverbial rut, those human habit patterns make deeper and deeper trenches. And thus, the flow of the energy of love tends to flow where it has always flowed.
People must be awakened to a higher walk with Love—the very person of Love in the Master himself!
Do you think that Christians who prate about the love of Jesus know his perfect love? I daresay, without being judgmental, that many do not. Alas! They perceive of him in the vein of human sympathy. They are idolaters, but know it not—simply because they have not understood his perfect love.
If you will take every episode in the life of Jesus Christ as you read the four Gospels and see each episode as another petal of love, you will come to understand how variegated is the design of love, how subtle are its changes. When you consider all that he did and said as a manifestation of perfect love—whether it be healing, whether it be withholding healing, whether it be the raising from the dead or the casting of the moneychangers out of the temple or the rebuke to the Nephilim as whited sepulchres full of dead men’s bones <8>—consider all things and measure, by the sensitivity of your heart, the quality of love and then go thou and do and be likewise.
It is a new appreciation of love that the purity of white fire can give to you in this fourteen-month bearing of the cosmic cross of white fire with the ruby ray—if you will be conscious that that is the message of this path of initiation.
Love can be perfected in love only when you start with perfect love.
“How is this, Serapis? How can we begin with that which is perfect when our goal is to move from imperfection to perfection?”
Typical question of the neophyte.
You will never get there if you begin with imperfection! It is like getting up in the morning on the wrong side of the bed. The whole day follows suit.
Start with perfect love.
“Serapis, where do we find perfect love?”
Go and find it in the song of the bird at dawn. Go and find it in the dewdrop on the rose. Find it as you meditate upon nature’s floral offerings. Find perfect love in the heart of a loved one as you pass universes of manifestation and go straight as an arrow to the God who dwells in that heart.
It is not so hard to find perfect love.
Look for it in a mother’s smile, in the tenderness of father, the sweetness of a child’s prayer at eventide, or the rejoicing in the fields of Maytime.
Why, perfect love is all around you. It is not a statistic of some cosmic statistician!
What do you think?—that God who is love and only love has withheld it from the creation? Look at perfect love in an algebraic formula or in the reading of the stars—a simple recipe that, when it comes out, brings joy to all who partake of the results.
O yes, you can find perfect love. And I will tell you truly that there is scarcely any child of God’s heart upon earth who has not at least once loved perfectly. Love for elemental life reaches a most noble expression in people of all ages. Love of angels. Love of one another as I have loved you. <9>
After all, love is not something that is learned. Love simply is. And when it wells up within your heart, you know that God is there. And when you know that God is there—do not stifle the flame, but fan it with the sacred fire breath.
Increase the single dewdrop of love! Make it an ocean of bubbling joy, of waves of light and sine waves that give the sign to God: “Lo, I AM here below as thou art above.”
Most blessed hearts, love on earth is an initiation failed by the vast majority of the people. And the energy of love as misuse of the creative fires, manipulation of the genetic code, has produced every variation from the theme of Christ in man and beast. And the bestial nature of fallen ones is perverted love. Just as everywhere you look you can find perfect love, so everywhere you look you can see its inversion.
Therefore, I come to release the fourteen-month spiral as I place it as nucleus in your heart. But I come to warn you, as I have warned you with each of the prior releases, that the continuing intensity of ascension’s fire propelling out the cycles of the causal body will give you greater and greater initiations—more to conquer both of reality and of unreality.
The archangels have told you that the greatest love the world has ever known manifests in the form of the judgment. <10> In order for there to be judgment, there is the resurrection, the bringing to the surface, the awakening of light and darkness and the persona thereof. Therefore recognize that when the intense love of your heart goes forth, it will arouse the enmity of the Serpent with the Christ who is the originator of that love in your heart.
Now I would tell you that the condition of hardness of heart that has become a disease also of some children of God, the condition of the shell which people place around themselves, is the result of sending forth love and receiving it back—being rejected.
“Hated without a cause” was the description of the coming of the One Sent. “They hated me without a cause.” <11> The cause, beloved hearts, is the sending forth of love. Love going forth will produce hatred in those in whom there is no love. And the cause for that hatred is envy.
Reread the dictations of Chamuel and Charity in the Vials of the Seven Last Plagues. <12> They warn of the fallen ones and their envy of your love.
You see, the love of the Father and the Son who come to dwell in the heart of the child who keeps the commandments of Christ in love can never be known by the fallen ones. They had it once. Not only did they reject it, but they reduced it to their monstrous mechanization plot. Thus, love has been stripped from them. And they have been going on their synthetic love and their chemical formulas ever since.
The envy of love produces the hatred of love.
A number of conferences ago, I was with this messenger as she flew from Colorado Springs to Santa Barbara for a class at the Motherhouse. As she flew over that city, she sent into it the most intense wave of love from her heart, which was from my heart also. And the love descended over the entire city. Within a matter of moments, to her utter consternation, there was sent back to her heart the most intense hatred—the rejection of the love of Christ, the rejection of the coming of the One Sent before that One had even touched the ground.
Thus, she learned a lesson on the path of Life. And He said: Do not cast your pearls before swine. <13> Pearls of love. Pearls of love, blessed hearts. But He also said: Love one another as I have loved you. But He never counseled to love the seed of the wicked. Therefore, do not radiate love omnidirectionally, indiscriminately—without the realization that the true love of Christ is not universally received in this world.
Now I release the ruby ray for all who would have it from my heart—for the melting down of hardness of heart, for the melting down of barriers and shells behind which you have hidden because you yourselves have felt that same rejection. This is their desire to stop you from loving purely, wholly, freely, fully!
But, I say, in your loving—love one another, love the body of God. And always love the heart of one another that your love go directly to the Christ flame and the Christ Self, thence to be distributed to the whole person as the person is able to receive it.
Love must radiate from within the heart to the entire being. For even in the case of loved ones, when you give love with intensity and the loved one is dealing with karmic patterns or the effluvia of the world or the burden of the day—that loved one may not receive that love, may even reject it or become irritated by it, because the very substance untransmuted on the surface of each world may easily become agitated by the intense love of the Christed ones and of the heart chakra. Therefore, do not be dismayed, do not be offended, do not be hurt in your loving.
If the devotees of the ascended masters would meditate upon love and expand their capacity to give love wisely with a pure discrimination of the heart, you would find a great expansion of this activity. For the Great Central Sun Magnet is the magnet of Cosmic Christ love.
Therefore, a bit of advice from Serapis tonight: Look at your own momentums. Have you left off loving life because you are habituated to the rejection of your love? Have you, therefore, made the mode of your daily life not to give love out of concern for being rejected? Blessed hearts, it is not a wise use of love to simply allow it to flow and then be abused. Love, wisely given, is a sacred transfer of a pearl of light from your heart to the heart of the beloved, the friend, one in need. From the purest center of your Christ consciousness, send love to the purest center of those who are the children of God. And then you will never leave off loving—loving life free!
And when you reinforce your life with calls to the archangels for protection, with a tube of light, with calls to Astrea for the binding of the demons and discarnates that would steal your love and misuse it—when you do all of these things that you have learned and then meditate on greater and greater love, you will find that you will begin to feel like a new person, that the fuller expression of your own self will be the fruit of your loving others with this perfect love. With the transfer of the pearl to the heart of Christ in loved ones, the very warmth of the heart opens the pearl and releases the fragrance and the fervor of devotion for God. Thus, El Morya has taught: Guard the heart! And I would say: Guard the sendings of theheart! Guard the love of the heart! Guard the magnet of the heart!
Many of your problems of human habit will melt away when the creative fires of love of the Holy Spirit flow forth from you abundantly and without reserve. You need not love human imperfection, but you ought to love the soul on the path of becoming whole. Therefore, give comfort to the soul in need of comfort.
The soul that has need may be the soul that is not perfected in love. Therefore, judge not—but give. And in your giving, be the healing of all life. Thus, I welcome you to Luxor for advanced training in the steps of the Master’s walk with his disciples.
[Intonation]
It is done from the heart of Helios and Vesta and the heart of Luxor. The spiral of love is released.
I seal you in the Magnanimous Heart of Lanello for the reinforcement of your will and your wise dominion in being the fullness of God’s love.
I retire into the flame, that Lord Maitreya might speak to you for the conclusion of this conference.
