The 12 Labors of Hercules

On Keeping the Harmony
Select a Guru and Go for It!
Beloved hearts, all of the Great White Brotherhood has paused in this interval as our Father Alpha did play this piece <1> on the grand organ in the Great Central Sun. And he did release to all of cosmos this hymn of the soul and the sounding of the tones that remind the soul of Home and of the great throne room and of Alpha and Omega, who await thy return.
Thus, after the battle comes the peace of communion. And beloved Alpha has sent to you not only the Call to the soul but also the peace of stillness, of victory, of quietude in the Eighth Ray chakra, the secret chamber of the heart, and with tender love has anchored this sound and through it the soundless sound, communicating love and strength and hope and the first gleams of the dawn of the promise of the New Age.
Thus you have witnessed within as without what the concentrated effort of Keepers of the Flame could accomplish. We are ready day by day to assist and to intercede. Therefore we desire to free a number of you that there might be plenty and there might be supply, [that] there might be the wherewithal to lift you somewhat from the toil of your karmic labors and the drudgery of that out-of-alignment state we call inharmony.
With grace and immense power Alpha has flooded [forth] to you the great harmony of the Father-Mother God, that you might know [the vibration of true harmony] and continually long to keep this flame and this harmony. Whenever this piece is therefore played again by you, it will recapture what has now been recorded here in akasha <2> of beloved Father Alpha’s playing to his children.
So, beloved, your Father is a great organist and has long sent forth the power of sound to awaken your memory to the Beginning of beginnings and to give you, in an interval and a moment, a memory of Home and the promise that surely you shall return if you keep the harmony.
Therefore I come to instruct you in keeping the harmony. God-Harmony is not a quality of one line, though it is [charted] on the six o’clock line, [which is also the line of the Mother,] because [it] is the [expression] of the Mother’s love for her children. And in her love for her children, she keeps the flame with Sanat Kumara on that line. [The perversions of God-Harmony under the hierarchy of Cancer are also charted on the six o’clock line:] the troubled waters of the astral sea[–that samsara that all must cross if they would reach the Eternal Bourne–]and all misuses of her Power, Wisdom and Love and of her sacred fire, [classified as indecision, self-pity and self-justification].
I would tell you, beloved, that so long as you have karma on any of the lines of the [Cosmic] Clock, you do not have full [God-]Harmony. But as long as you call forth the Light of God and of Christ and Buddha to seal that untransmuted karma, you may nevertheless build a momentum of [God-]Harmony that does increase.
Harmony comes with the determination to fulfill the qualities of God [on] the twelve [lines of the Clock]. Therefore as you keep the flame of God-Power in [the] balance of Alpha and Omega, you have [God-]Harmony under the hierarchy of Capricorn [and, correspondingly, under the hierarchy of Cancer]. Harmony that is true, as the plumb line is true, beloved, gives you contact with the hierarchies of [each and every] line.
So it has been well said that one ought to select a Guru and go for it; <3> for, beloved, by attaining the oneness and blissful oneness with that Guru and with the God-quality that marks his line of the Clock, you can establish at first one line [on which] you determine always to keep the peace, the harmony, the love and the flame [and then proceed one by one with the rest].
Inasmuch as all of you have been sponsored by beloved El Morya, is it not well to begin with the five o’clock line? Beloved ones, it is necessary to banish ignorance, for how else can you enter in or recognize the poisons [or their antidotes] or know the Buddhas? <4> Thus, to embrace God-Wisdom and the Gemini Mind of God, <5> to obey its beacon, its call, its light, to know that this is Alpha and Omega–this is devotion to God’s will, this is the mastery of the spoken Word by the Sweet One, <6> whose causal body sponsoring you has had much to do with your victories on these days.
Blessed ones, your out-of-alignment state on any line of the Clock is a breach of the harmony of the Community of the Holy Spirit, which [breach], because you are one, does reverberate in the four lower bodies of each member. From time to time that out-of-alignment state, which, as you know, is dukkha, [the suffering that is the result of] inordinate desire, does become so extreme in an individual that El Morya requests that that one no longer be in the circle of the Community of this headquarters simply because that inharmony will reflect throughout the movement and does give to [that one] and to each individual member too much to bear, while the individual himself does not carry the baggage of his karma or the karma of his desires but expects all others to bear it while he takes another round to play.
So you see, beloved ones, when you know that the circle is drawn and the solar ring is around you and [that] we seek to enforce the presence of the Great Central Sun Magnet within that [ring] for the drawing of the souls of Light, not only is it unkind but it is unmerciful to the Lord God and the sponsoring hierarchy to allow to remain those whose violation of the law of Community has produced the schism, the breach that we call inharmony.
Therefore, beloved, we see [that] when those who become a part of [a Community of] such great Light are not able to maintain their harmony within it, it is also most kind and merciful unto them that they be given a place less intense to work out the challenge of maintaining [their] harmony. Since harmony is the in-alignment state, you can see that the flame and the path of harmony must surely be the prerequisite for joining [the sanghas of] any of the Buddhas and the Buddhas of the five secret rays.
So, then, beloved, harmony can be present only where there is strength–strength of mind that sets one’s course according to one’s God-desire and keeps it and does not waver, is not weak-minded or weak-willed, divided, hearing a voice and going that way, hearing a voice and going the other [way].
Thus [those who would possess] the Gemini Mind of God must have the balance of the strength of mind and the strength of the desire body. These strengths must be established in the four lower bodies and this you can check yourself on by examining how you function under those hierarchies and signs and astrological configurations in each of the four quadrants. Looking at the chakras that correspond [to the lines of the Clock], you may soon learn where your point of vulnerability may be, where somehow you do not keep the steadiness of mind and will through all that goes on around you or the strength of [holy] desire and [holy] purpose when other desires [and other purposes] and their perfumes are wafted your way.
You see, beloved ones, mind and heart must be in balance; therefore you see the balance kept by Manjushri and Maitreya. <7> So you will understand that these archetypal ones, who truly are personified in your midst, must represent in you archetypal manifestations of the plus and the minus, the Masculine and the Feminine, the Wisdom and the Love of Helios and Vesta.
Let us, then, take a very beginning course [at] the retreat of God Harmony. Let us begin to see increments of greater harmony based on a very sincere affection for beloved El Morya, showing him what you can accomplish toward this end by way of saying:
Thank you, beloved El Morya, for loving me still and seeing me through all of these circumstances of my karma and my tomfoolery and all that I have done that I desired not to do and all those things that I desired to do that I did not do. <8>
Therefore, no more will there be the division or the warring in my members; <9> for I have seen that a house divided against itself shall not stand. <10> El Morya, I will bring you bouquets of forget-me-nots, showing that I will not forget to look for that balance under the hierarchies of the Sun line by line.
Therefore, beloved, we set a course before you. It is our desire to conduct on the last evening of this twelve-day conference a personal clearance for all in attendance. And according [to your output] as you have been able to decree or to keep the dharma of your service continuing and as you have kept the harmony, so we shall see what labor Hercules and Amazonia may perform on your behalf as you have performed labors for them. We have long desired to take to our hearts the chelas of the will of God and to conduct such a clearance as is done regularly in each Summit University quarter.
We see that the year comes to an end and that there is a harvest. Surely there must be some harvest of the electronic belt [i.e., the subconscious,] that may be taken as the tares are separated from the good wheat to be burned. <11> May it be, then, that you see the remaining hours as opportunity and know that those who serve while you decree are fulfilling their karma as well as their dharma; and you also have a dharma and a karma that must keep you here [in the Court].
We desire to see this Community of Light, which has borne the burdens of [the] prophecy of persecution in the end times, <12> of soul-testing and trial, know that you have also passed many tests. And whereas some have failed their tests, we look to accord [to] all who are worthy [not only] the gift of the removal of that which you have earned to have removed but [also the gift of the] removal of other conditions, which we may give to you as a grace for your steadfastness, your loyalty and your immaculate vision of the future of this Community of Light despite its assailants in this hour.
They shall come and go! But the Church of God shall live forever. <13> Let them come and go, beloved; for all do pass by the altar of God on earth that they might have the opportunity to embrace the living Christ, the living Buddha, to mend their ways and to have that final moment to face the Sun, to confess the LORD God, to bend the knee, to forsake allegiance to the fallen angels and to come back to the nobleness of God-Harmony that is oneness with the Father-Mother God and the Central Sun.
Visualize the Central Sun now as a whirling disc of Light <14> on each line of the Cosmic Clock; and as it whirls, as it spins, it transmutes, beloved. See this always as you see yourselves [in the service of the Light] rather than being preoccupied with your shortcomings. Even the solar flares and activities of the sun in the remainder of this year will be a means whereby the spiritual Sun behind the sun of this solar system may be translated to the earth in positive ways, even though there be some negative side effects from these manifestations.
Harmony, then, is indeed the great key; but what is the key to harmony? It surely is the most balanced manifestation in the physical body, which you bring about by a practical and scientific study of what is best for you and your health and then pursue it. As man does not live by bread alone, <15> so may you not eat by tastes and appetites of the palate, ingrained. May you become adepts and see how it is inharmonious, [indeed, how it is a violation of the law of God-Harmony] to be enslaved by your appetites when what you put in your mouth only creates an out-of-alignment state; and thus the physical is no chalice [to guard the] harmony for the emotional body.
Then the emotional body begins to be tipsy and topsy and turvy, and the mind is clouded by all of this turbulence. And the three lower bodies are not able to receive the Divine Image [of the Holy Christ Self] impressed [upon] the etheric [body], and the etheric [body] itself becomes contaminated as the lesser bodies mirror back to it less than the crystal-clear stream, [less than the Divine] Image.
Blessed ones, the fruits of self-mastery, God Self-mastery–which you are completing in this end of the Piscean age, which has but months to go–can afford you freedom, wealth, happiness, [and] the drawing forth from your Causal Body of all those things that would be so handy at this point in your life.
True God-Mastery, beloved, is God-Harmony. But God-Harmony is not the sign of those who cry, “Peace, peace,” <16> and desire to smooth over the war [and the warring in their members] that is beneath [the surface raging in the subconscious] of those who may speak in quiet tones and always properly but have no internal [fount of] Harmony or Love.
Thus, sometimes in order to restore harmony it is necessary to intensify the voice, to speak firmly [or] to clap one’s hands to break the stupor of silence that may appear as harmony but is [as] deadly as though it were cacophony. Blessed hearts, do not be fooled, then, by those who walk about with their smiles of peace; for you know better when you look into their eyes and see that they may be deeply troubled or angry or [gripped by] whatever else [may have invaded their temple].
Therefore, as I come, harmony may sometimes necessarily be the manifestation of a Christ that does overturn the money changers in the temple of God. <17> Sometimes in order to have harmony it is necessary to make a ruckus. But, beloved ones, that harmony is never out of control; it is, as you would say, staged for a purpose. Thus, in perfect God-Control you may appear to be out of control, but it is the only means whereby [the representatives of the] Guru may gain the attention of chelas who have become so disheveled and in such disarray that they have long since forgotten what is true [soul] alignment [with the Spirit of the living God].
Therefore, beloved, the Gurus of all ages have taken on many guises. Thus the appearance, when one is a true Guru, is not necessarily that which the human mind interprets it to be. Take care and understand, beloved, that the Ascended Masters use every approach and every means to shock you out of the semisleep state into an awareness that all is not peace, that there must be an alert, there must be an awareness; for danger is present and action is required.
Therefore, judge righteous judgment. <18> Do not judge [by] the outer manifestation of any Guru [even as you do not judge] the outer manifestation of the world and the appearance of peace and freedom marching on into a golden future. There is much beneath the surface and the monsters of the deep have not all been taken, just as your electronic belts <19> have not all been cleared.
Therefore, take care. Take care of the ravening wolves <20> within the body politic and within the governments of the nations. And do not accept what appears on the surface but follow the thread of love from the heart of your I AM Presence and Christ Self to those whose love dares to act, dares to be needed and dares to fulfill the needs of others, dares to be a part of a team, to think originally and to act with haste to protect the Community and to prepare for a certain future.
There are many false teachers abroad in the world today; some of them [come] teaching elements of the Great White Brotherhood’s teaching and yet within there is Darkness. But they have developed a manner of looking peaceful and pious and speaking quietly and assuring everyone that if they think peace and talk peace and plan for peace instead of war, they will be the wise ones who will bring about world peace.
They cover themselves with garments of peace and writings of peace but, beloved, they have not even touched the surface of the electronic belt, of their own subconscious; whereas you who may not always be so peaceful have gone to the depths of the psyche and the subconscious determined to remove all that is unreal. And in the process you may have struggled, you may have made mistakes, but you are determined that you shall know what is real and become it and [that you will] pay any price [to meet the day of karmic reckoning with your books balanced].
Of course, we should desire that those on this path would manifest a greater peace and harmony as an example of mastery in the way of transmutation. But if we should have to choose between chelas who sometimes become ruffled or disturbed and those who are all pious and prayerful in their self-styled holiness, we would rather take the rough-hewn chela who is surely becoming the diamond-cut stone of the Vajrasattva. <21>
Thus, beloved, to win folks for your path you might determine to let a little more peace and harmony shine; and understand, after all, that we all desire to set a good example. And if there be a rumbling from within, let it be dealt with in the privacy of your room when you lie upon your cot and think the day through [and commune with your God]. If these emotions arise, let them be cast into the sacred fire. May you emerge the masterful servant, beloved, and may your presence be a reflection of the Sun behind the sun. For this calling have I come and also to place my presence in this Community.
Perhaps one word might be the expression of many [members] of the Great White Brotherhood in this hour, and you must understand the context [in which we use] this word in Ascended Master octaves. According to the law of righteous indignation [and in that context], we are in effect “outraged” [and we use that word to describe our response to] the behavior of the world and the masses and [of] many who have once been served at our altar.
Rest assured, beloved, that the Divine Justice of God shall be meted out and fulfilled, that [the birds of prey] shall come home [to roost] and that karma is absolutely exact and exacting. Therefore we attend the cycles of the Father-Mother God in full trust and so should you. But we reserve the right, as you do, to contain the white fire that is the wrath [self-contained within the God-Harmony] of the Divine Mother; and when that [white fire] is released according to God’s cycles, it does devour the wrath of the fallen ones.
In some quarters this is “their hour and the power of darkness.” <22> We declare, no longer may this be the case in these quarters; for you have shown your muscle of the spirit and the right arm [upheld] and you have shown your steadfastness. If you can keep up this work, beloved, you will see that pretty soon in many parts of cosmos beyond this solar system there will not be many left who shall take on this Community. The futility of [their] challenge is becoming clear to them.
May you, therefore, be steadfast, keep on keeping on, [and] “hang in there,” as you tell one another when one [of you] becomes weary. For there is truly a Light at the end of this tunnel that passes through the astral sea and under the sea and under the earth and under the mountain; and you will reach the other side if, with the Buddha, with Lao-tzu, <23> with Bodhidharma, <24> you simply keep placing one foot ahead of the other.
Keep on keeping on, beloved! You shall attain full God-Harmony if you keep the faith, I promise you.
I seal you in the Sun of God Harmony and I send you now to the inner retreats of God. Call to be taken where you must be this night and it shall be done.
Thus I, God Harmony, have spoken and in speaking I have established here a precious focus of Alpha and Omega.
Good night, precious hearts.

Vajrasattva is also a term for a state of attainment that may be reached by one who is close to liberation, or nirvana. Followers of the Vajrayana school of Buddhism seek to become a Vajrasattva, a diamond-souled transcendental being. In Tibetan tradition, the Vajrasattva is the “Diamond Heart,” the heart of the First Logos, or Vajradhara, who sent his heart into the manifest world. Lama Govinda writes that the Vajrasattva is realized in the human heart (Foundations of Tibetan Mysticism [New York: Samuel Weiser, 1969], p. 187). For more information on Vajrasattva, see vol. 32 no. 38, p. 537 n. 4.
