The Call of Love
In Preparation for the Wedding Day
Your Marriage to Jesus Christ
My beloved brides, I receive you to my heart in preparation for the wedding day. I come to you as you have come to me. And in this hour love suffuses our hearts as my Sacred Heart enfolds your own. And in this moment in the bridal chamber we prepare your soul for the entering in, which shall surely take place as you weave and continue to weave your wedding garment. Gifts of the violet flame given to you are also for the weaving of this garment. It is called the Deathless Solar Body.
And you also recall the parable where the one came in to the marriage feast having not the wedding garment and that one was cast into outer darkness. <1> For, you see, your wedding must take place in the etheric octave, and to be in that octave you must have the appropriate soul apparel–the wedding gown and the bridal veil.
These garments, beloved, are the garments you are to perfect. For as you have been told, there are rents in your garment caused by all manner of intrusions, tears that come from encounters on the astral plane or the violent misuse of the Light, from the rhythms of Antichrist and all manner of attacks upon your soul.
I, Jesus, desire to assist you in your preparations, for the wedding date is set and I, your Lord, expect you to be in that secret chamber at the appointed hour.
Indeed it is a boon–the gift of Omri-Tas, his presence and flame, of Saint Germain, the Maltese-cross formation and their multiplying of your calls to the violet flame [by the violet flame sea]. <2> Surely you shall have the wisdom and the rejoicing in me to use this violet flame industriously so that the garment might be complete and strengthened and no more subject to the tears of the lower octaves.
It may be a bit difficult to visualize but nevertheless, beloved, you must call forth the armour of Archangel Michael and the seraphim of God, not only for the protection of your soul and your four lower bodies but also for the protection of this garment–[the Deathless Solar Body] as both the undergarment of humility and the outer garment of honor.
For is not honor born of humility?
For when one comes to comprehend the honor of God, is one not humbled before the great light, the dazzling white light of the presence of the cosmic honor flame?
Honor, then, is an homage that you pay unto the living Christ that I AM and unto your God. It is the honoring of the Light that is unsullied and untainted, the Light that is the strength that holds together the Matter cosmos.
Honor is a strength beyond other strengths. Honor is purity. Honor is the majesty of God. It is the single-eyed vision and the adoration of the one true God. Honor is oneness. It is wholeness.
One cannot enter into its precincts without the ultimate understanding of humility, for humility is before God and before the living flame. It is a self-effacement for a purpose: that the lesser self be sealed and the Greater Self appear. It comes down to the saying I gave to your Catherine, “I the All: thou the nothing–I the All: thou the nothing.” <3>
Thus, as you say it unto me, you say, “O Jesus, my Lord, thou the All and I the nothing. Thou the All and I the nothing!” And as you say it, beloved, my Christ Presence becomes my allness in you, and the mortal self disintegrates and the True Self is manifest. It is a yin and yang action of Alpha and Omega.
|
O Jesus, my Lord, thou the All of me: I the nothing. Take my nothingness, O my Lord, and let me be the allness of thyself. Be the Christ in me, my Lord, and I shall be worthy–worthy to be thy bride, as thou art the Lamb and thou art worthy before the throne of God. |
So it is, beloved, the transformation of self by the displacement-replacement. The honor of God it is.
In the sanctuary of love I commune with your heart–first with the heart, beloved. Now feel my Sacred Heart, for I desire you to probe with me the elements of heart that require healing, transmutation.
I give you to see now fractures in the mandala of the heart, violations of the twelve petals of the heart. I allow you to see the imbalance of the threefold flame and records of the past that show you clearly how in choices made you have reduced rather than increased that flame. I show you this in Love, beloved, for Love imparts truth and vision.
Having the vision now, as I show it to you, of your Holy Christ Self, you can see how much you are mirroring of that Self and how you can mirror more by meditating on the elements of the Christ Self and Christ Flame that are wanting in the mirror of self.
I hold you, beloved, I strengthen you as you look and see. Let it be an objective and scientific study of who and what you are today and all that you can be tomorrow.
|
O my Holy Christ Self–thou the All and I the nothing–be thou myself as Holy Christ Flame burning on the altar of my heart for my Jesus, my Bridegroom, my Lord! |
Sweetness is indeed the taste of the living Christ Flame. Taste, then, the essence of myself. Know it is the portion also of your Holy Christ Self.
Thus know me as your sweet Jesus but know me also as your counsellor, confessor and chastiser. I also come for the taming of the shrew of the lesser self, called the wretch.
Yes, beloved, this is a shadow, a shriveled-up form, a garment no longer worn but yet remaining in your closet. I strengthen you to take it out and see it. See this part of the not-self, the not-so-nice part [of you]. You take it. I hand it to you now and bid you cast it into the violet flame. Be done with it! And see how the flame rejoices to consume it!
O what gifts of wonder of the violet flame I did impart to my disciples and others of you in various ages, as you have been in the violet flame temples of Atlantis! No wonder you are so happy to give the violet flame [decrees] in this embodiment! You have longed for [the violet flame], thirsted for it, sought it in the drinking of Communion’s wine and the partaking of the bread. You have waited for the dispensation [to come] to you again and it has come, and you have become the devotees of the Seventh Ray.
May you also become brides of the Seventh Ray Hierarch, Saint Germain. May you become brides of the Holy Spirit, as Mother Mary did become the bride of the Holy Spirit.
Yes, beloved, when all of Chaos and Old Night and Armageddon threaten without like a violent winter storm, is it not good to commune in the secret chamber of the heart and to know a compartment of eternity that shall one day be the vastness of interstellar space for thee and me alone and for thee and thy twin flame?
Seek the marriage to the Christ! All other things shall come to you. Seek the Sacred Heart! Seek my Blood and my Body. Seek me everywhere!
Each time you find a corner of self where the rays of light now penetrate and you find the skeletons in your closet, so visualize my face and body, my presence there.
Remember the initiations I underwent in my final incarnation that you might know the pattern, the preparation of the soul through the violet flame [for her own initiations]: the forgiveness of the waters of the human consciousness as they become the wine, the sanctification of marriage as a sacrament in the Church and as the wedding of the soul to her Lord. Remember the path and the initiation of the alchemy of supply and the multiplication of the loaves and fishes by the power of Alpha and Omega.
Remember all of these footsteps while you are yet able to balance heart, head and hand by violet flame. [For this is the goal and the mandate of your soul’s physical incarnation.] Remember the point of entering into congruency with the perfection of your inner blueprint by that divine direction.
Remember, then, the transfiguration as the soul enters into and receives the impression of the perfect pattern [of her Holy Christ Self] to be outpictured. Remember the crucifixion, for Christ in thee must yet be crucified. Yes, remember living in the heart of the earth in the presence of resurrection’s flame as I did. Remember the resurrection. Remember the forty days of profound inner temple instruction [following]. Remember the ascension.
These are the key initiations and there are many in between. Resist them not, resist me not! Resist not my footprints in the sands! Resist me not, beloved.
And surely know the confession of the soul and the holy sacrament [of penance]. Know the baptism. Know the Communion. Know that thou canst be a part of holy orders and yet maintain the rites of marriage and family in the holiness of God. Remember the soul’s appearing with first breath and the soul’s departure with the last.
The consecration of these rituals, beloved, becomes a part of the larger spiral [that is your soul’s bonding to my Sacred Heart] and is there as matrix complete when you are received as my bride and the bride of the Christ of you.
This moment of the fusion of hearts is a moment that comes after the final exams, as it were, of your life’s record, your going out of the way and coming in again, going out of the way and coming in again, until finally all desire to go out is purged from you and your sole and principal desire is to remain bonded to my heart and never, never again to violate that sacred vow of our union. For this calling I did descend to rescue your soul, who had broken the tie to my heart.
I am come, beloved. Do not tarry and tarry again [in the outer way] unto future ages down the halls of eternity. Take [the initiation] in this hour. O take it! Take it and work so much good by my Sacred Heart become thy heart.
Surely this is the key to your becoming a candidate for the ascension. Surely thou canst not ascend without the prior bonding to that heart. Know it early, that all the days of thy life thou might impart to many the flame of Love that is the bonding of our union.
I woo you to the bridal chamber that you might bear in your being and life that special love that all recognize and know as my love. When you are bonded to my heart you also have the Holy Spirit, whose gifts you can increase and multiply.
I desire you to be, as it were, salesmen for God, <4> for the path of Christic union, for Love itself. The world has not tasted the sweetness of this love, and souls who have lost it so long ago cannot remember the taste.
Let them know it through you, beloved! Let them know it! Let them know a love that rekindles a desire within them to also go and get that love, to seek me and find me even when I play hide-and-seek with them to test their real desiring to see if they will be deterred by an easier search and the finding of some lesser manifestation.
Inspire them to seek true love, the true love of Christ. Inspire them by your joy and patience, your meekness as well as the emboldening power of Elohim upon you taking wise dominion over the territories of the earth body in the sense of the territories of the mind and the heart and the domains of consciousness as compartments of being.
Yes, beloved, let my love in you be the irresistible force of cosmos that draws souls who can be drawn in by no other way but my love. For having been beaten and bruised in so many circumstances, having had their loves betrayed again and again, these need the comfort of my love in you.
I the All of Love within you: thou the All of Love in me. Let this be the magnet of the Central Sun and your offering of gratitude upon the altar of God that you might now know and be and enter the golden cycle of the sun!
Oh, such a precious meeting of hearts in this place has come about! May you, as a nucleus of Lightbearers worldwide, become the mandala of my Sacred Heart–the pattern, the form, the oneness, the heart of the Mystical Body.
O know this love tryst, beloved, and hasten to the altar of the marriage of thy soul to Christ!
This is my voice [in which I speak] to you, this is my message as I speak in the tenderness of the Divine Mother and the quietness of the Father, who does oversee the preparations of your soul.
I am your Jesus if you will have me. And if you will, I counsel you, drink, drink, drink quickly the elixir of violet flame for the dispelling of forgetfulness, for the remembering of all that we have been together since the beginning of our going forth from the Central Sun.
I call to all of those who have been a part of myself and my life. I call them through you and I call directly to their hearts. I call and I call and I call again! It is the call of Love.
May the many who have not received me who once knew me be reached by your outreaching of your heart, your hand and your speaking of my Truth.
Thou dost know and have my Truth, beloved. Truth is an activating force of the Holy Spirit in your life. Let it take you where it will take you and move you as it will move you! Let it speak through you or be silent. Let it testify of me.
I am the witness of the God of Love. May you be the witness of my flame, offering salvation by a path of rigorous discipleship in the rituals of love unfolding and becoming Love.
O Holy Spirit, O the allness of God, descend upon each one according as the Holy Ghost is wont!
I, Jesus, stand in the temple of the Central Sun even as I am here. And I establish, therefore, an arcing [of light to] your being that you might see and glimpse and remember the great cathedral that is called the Temple Beautiful. I assure you, beloved, that on your wedding day you shall be beautiful in the Temple Beautiful.
I seal your vows and send you back to life’s journey with all of the zeal of the love we share forever and forever and forever.
Amen! [“Amen.”]
