The Mission of Jesus Christ
The Redemption of Twin Flames at Maitreya’s Mystery School
“I and My Father Are One!”
“I and My Father Are One!”
My beloved, I welcome you as I welcomed to my heart long ago the youth Issa, your Jesus, when he came to the Himalayas and touched the fire of Tibet and knew the ancient lamas and found me. <1> For I was the one promised and known of him even before birth, as the entire drama of the mission of the avatar of the Piscean age was, of course, premeditated by God and directed from above.
Sweet Jesus, the strong, when he said to his parents at the age of twelve, “Wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?” <2> he spake of the Teacher, the eternal Guru he must go and find. [He must] go to the East and, as all such saints, receive the anointing from the lineage of his descent.
Thus I unveil to you the real mission of the Saviour, so truly stated by the apostles, for the redemption of the twin flames who took up the path of the Tree of Life in the ancient Mystery School and were turned aside by the cunning of the serpent philosophy, which was the philosophy of the fallen angels who were determined to subvert the Light [of twin flames] and misdirect the great gift of God [to all generations who would come after them].
The blame, of course, is not upon those two or any in particular, for we ascribe no blame but only the new cycle of opportunity once again to take up the flame of Alpha and Omega, twin flames of the One. Nary a soul gathered here [nor any] on earth this day has not in some form, mostly unbeknownst to him, succumbed to some subtlety of the lie of Serpent. Thus all are in the process of either going forth from the ancient Mystery School or returning thereto.
Which direction are you walking in, beloved? In this hour, of course, you have come to my heart. And I take the opportunity by the lodestone of my heart to realign you with the polestar of your own being and thus nevermore to go out in fancy or fantasy of those dark ones with their histrionics and madness and flattery and pleasantries and endless chatter.
Thus, the mission of Jesus was to go back to Eden, yet the Motherland was long gone. [Therefore he came to Shamballa.] And he came to the ancient repository of the tablets of Mu and the writings of Maitreya and Gautama and Sanat Kumara. He came for the redemption of those who had been turned aside [from the law of the Divine Mother] and to restore [to them] the [true] path of discipleship [under the Cosmic Christ].
Such a perfect one was he that the Ancient of Days determined that as much of the path of the Mystery School as the Great Law would allow should be demonstrated by example in his mission. The testing of that mission and his ability to sustain those initiations in [the] outer [world] were the subject of our training sessions during his eighteen years in the Orient.
A student, yea, a scholar and a sage he became, passing through the schools of preparation and receiving from my heart the empowerment of Gautama and Sanat Kumara to return to the scene of the darkest karma on planet earth, none other than Palestine, the crossroads of the Middle East, the place of the Mother and the place of grave darkness and movements of many lifewaves and evolutions who had been pitted against the living Word on their own home stars and so continued that momentum in that era and time.
Thus, the greatest Light is sent to the darkest corner to expose, to accuse by way of isolating error that all may choose the right, the left, north or south, east or west. You know direction is everything, beloved, and the all.
Jesus, the Master, love of my heart! Indeed, I am the Teacher who lived to see the pupil exceed his own teaching. It must always be so. For this is the purpose of the conveyance of the mantle, that the Light of the pupil multiplied by the Guru should exceed the former as well as the latter. And greater works <3> by the living Word should be the new fruit of the Tree of Life that increases in Power and Wisdom and Love with each succeeding two-thousand-year dispensation.
Thus, beloved, Pisces has passed and is passing; and the dregs of her karma have been upon you for a number of years with great burden to humanity. I have scarcely seen Kuan Yin these years without the single tear in the eye of the Mother’s sensitivity to the pain of the world.
Kuan Yin, Kuan Yin! O Light of Asia, Light of the Eternal One! Feminine form of the Buddha, we bow before thy Bodhisattva vow. And because thou art, we too are encouraged by the visible sign of the Universal Woman, Mother ever present in the Lady of Mercy.
My beloved, with what great joy I receive you here as I received the youth Jesus! For the dispensation is truly opened and I may begin anew, taking those who have apprenticed themselves before the Darjeeling Master and Saint Germain and the Great Divine Director, those who have disciplined themselves by the Law of Love before the living Christ.
Indeed, indeed, you must acknowledge him the Saviour of your life, for he is! He restored to you the contact with your own Christ Self and [he] is here today to increase that spark or even ignite it again if, by your words and your works, you may be rotated one hundred and eighty degrees to face the living Son of God. If you cannot see the Saviour in him, I cannot teach you; there is nothing else. He has taught my teaching. I would take you from [that level] and beyond. You can never save so much as a bumblebee if you do not see the glory of that life.
Come now. Let the fears and rationalizations, let the materialistic ideas of God, let all of the complaining concerning the mission and life of Jesus cease! For he was and is God incarnate, truly in the unique sense that God raised him up as the example but never in the exclusive sense that all could not follow in his footsteps.
Take this to your heart with humility and not with pride. Some forget they must tear down before they can build and go to the subbasement level and bury their pride and bury their ambition and bury their dead and follow me. <4>
I AM Maitreya come again. The cycles move with great rhythm. Vast ages turn and the door opens. Thus I tell you as the headmaster of the school <5> that I am truly ensconced, and physically so, by the grace of this body* loaned to me. And I commit myself to your heart as God has committed himself to me, that I will deliver to you in these months and years and decades, truly, the personal teaching that is the requirement for you not merely for the ascension but for the highest attainment of your soul prior to that ascension whereby the gift of [your] attainment might be the offering on the altar of humanity.
I call for spiral rings of devotees around the central sun of my delivery. I call for the perception and the recognition of the import of this land and of the Community of Glastonbury and the absolute necessity for the physical Place Prepared [to be established in order for my Mystery School and the Teachings of the Cosmic Christ to be bequeathed to the Lightbearers of the world in perpetuity]. Having gained the land, you must now keep it. Keep it, I say! Defend it. Conquer it. Subdue it. Master it. And let it by your hand fructify, multiply, and produce the harvest of nourishment for the devotees of Maitreya.
“I and my Father are one” [is] the mantra of the protection of the Guru-Chela relationship that I gave to him, the Son of man. I and my Father are one! When you speak these words, the lineage of your [Ascended] Masters is with you, the Electronic Presence of Jesus is upon you, your own I AM Presence and Christ Self [are there], and I AM instantly there. For Jesus would have you call him “Brother” and me “Father.” And I agree, for it is a reminder that he is not so far above you but at your side, even though many of you have known him as Father.
Thus, you see, the “I and my Father are one” mantra is actually a call. It is a call you may give in time of danger, chaos, confusion or accident or illness or any need, as long as you have the perception that the Call cannot and will not fail and as long as you have the understanding of who is Father. The Lord God Almighty is Father and his emissaries to whom he has given the mantle of his I AM Presence to teach mankind are Father. Thus the “I and my Father are one” mantra uses the I AM name to confirm the bond of our oneness.
By cosmic law I cannot fail to answer the call of this mantra. The only variation in my answer is in your vibration. For though I may be with you, you may not feel it until you have quelled the turbulence of your emotions. Thus, our oneness becomes ever closer as you put on the likeness of the image of the Father that I would bequeath to you.
My beloved sons and daughters, it is truly a new era. Jesus is taken down from the cross, I am taken down from the cross; for the long night of separation from teaching mankind directly is truly past. The Mother is taken down from the cross and you also are taken down from the cross. <6> And the world itself, as the new birth, as the cross of karma in Aries, is held in balance by the causal bodies of the saints. <7>
Thus, with regularity and the rhythm of the cycles the teaching shall be a personal one. Though [given] to many hundreds and then thousands, it will always be directed to the individual [who is] present [in the level of the Cosmic Christ] who directs the Call and receives the answer in many forms.
The establishment of the Mystery School here enables me to bring closer to the physical octave the mighty aura, the Presence of Lord Gautama Buddha, Lord of the World, whose Flame of Shamballa burns brightly. And I have placed a focus of myself in the lotus posture in meditation upon the mount you call Maitreya Mountain. Thus it is a sign raised up to all the world that in the West the Saviouress is come and the Universal Mother may once again transmit the teaching of Maitreya through her instrument and servant.
Beloved ones, I remind you of the longing of your soul for your First Love, profoundly expressed in the meditation you have heard, “Un bel di.” <8> The ancient memory of the perfect love of the soul’s union with God has been sought after through the ages. The longing of the soul for Christ, for God exceeds even that for the twin flame.
The love for the Almighty One and for the completion of the circle of identity is a love, as expressed in that piece of music, [that is] something for which one gives one’s life and has no desire to live without. God has not desired anyone to take or lose his life for the loss of any love but rather to seek and find the union with Christ through the union with one’s teacher and then the union with the I AM Presence. For only through that Presence can twin flames know the ultimate oneness of the perpetual bliss of Alpha and Omega.
Hearts united in love on the path of discipleship, families, children, disciples, all a part of the sangha of the Buddha, I speak to you of love and the fulfilling of the need for love through the path to God. And in knowing and finding that love, all other schism within the psyche dissolves and you are at last free to give love perpetually, perpetually and always to those in need who have less love than you and who can be quickened by that Light.
This is our goal: to make you first disciples, then masters of freedom able to stand in the earth [as] instruments of Saint Germain to lay the firm foundation of the Aquarian age that it cannot be turned back and, having fulfilled the task, the dharma and all, to move to other dimensions where still other lifewaves await your coming and your help.
Now, beloved ones, I have come not only to converse with you but also for a necessary task. As you bask now in the Light, your four lower bodies are being prepared to receive the initiation of Helios. Not so many hours away is his coming. Angels of Lord Buddha are conveying to you a gentle but powerful Light that your bodies might receive a greater Light and hold it.
But I must also touch you, beloved. And I would touch you, then, with the jewel so consecrated by the prayer of the first Mother of the Flame, Clara Louise. <9> Thus, I am inviting you to come to this altar that I might touch your crown through the Messenger’s hand, through this stone, for the step-up of your four lower bodies and soul in preparation for this event of the millennia.
I request that only known disciples be allowed to attend that event, for we are concerned lest too much Light be a destructive force in the body temples of the uninitiated. I also request that those who are to receive that blessing receive this one. Thus it may be given to those who may arrive in the next day.
O Light of the Ahura Mazda, O Eternal Light, now exalt and intensify the Flame of the Mother within this focus of a Mother’s devotion. By the Mother Flame transmit the fire of the Buddha and seal each one safe and sound in the auric ring of protection of Shamballa.
The Brotherhood of Shamballa saluteth thee. Welcome, monks and sisters! Welcome, devotees of the heart!
I AM truly come and I AM with you. And I will not leave off my chair, central in this Ascended Masters’ university, until all who have been designated by the Lords of Karma, all who were named last eve at the Royal Teton Retreat in your presence, chelas, have come to this place to receive that instruction and that opportunity for soul liberation.
Thus we now initiate these sons and daughters and we stand ready for a world to be ready and to hear our call.
Beloved ones, treasure that which is truly treasure, value that which is of sublime worth, and set your priorities for the remainder of this life.
I know you now, I knew you then, and I shall know you in the next life, that where I AM ye may be also in the oneness of Love.
