“Let the Floodgates of Wisdom Be Opened!”
Wisdom’s Reward Is Not Withheld
How Much Do You Want El Morya’s Sponsorship?
So we call unto the Lord:
Let the floodgates of Wisdom be opened!
And so the Lord does command:
|
|
The floodgates of Wisdom shall be opened unto those who have completed their training on the First Ray!– under El Morya and his Brothers and Sisters of the Order of the Diamond Heart, under Archangel Michael and Faith and the numberless number of their blue-lightning angels who wage war against the adversary of the Woman and her seed, under Hermes Trismegistus and his legions who fly under the sign of God Mercury and are the trusted faithful and true messengers of God’s will, under Hercules and Amazonia and their mighty legions of the first order who empower the conquering ones and paint the sky blue, from indigo to azure, displaying the endless qualities of the blue ray reflected in the auras of First Ray initiates, under God Surya and Cuzco and the legions of blue-flame angels who by the swiftness of their flight map the highways from the Central Sun to the doorstep of every neophyte child of the will of God. Unto all of these who are obedient to the will of God and embody its virtues, let the floodgates of Wisdom be opened! |
Yes, in honor of the graduates who have graced and been graced by the Diamond Shining Mind of God, we echo the command of the Lord: Let the floodgates of Wisdom be opened!
Therefore those who qualify for this dispensation are the trusted bearers of the Light who have passed their tests under the hierarchs of the First Ray. And since the coming of Alpha and Omega, of Helios and of Lord Gautama Buddha in a number of dictations, the dispensations of Light sent to earth by the Cosmic Hierarchy have been restricted to those who are the tried and true, the trusted bearers of the Light. <1>
In his proclamation delivered May 13, 1987, Alpha so stated:
|
|
Unto those who have earnestly sought and have for the most part maintained that level of Christ consciousness, going apart only out of ignorance or thoughtlessness–unto these I would speak: You who are scattered throughout the earth and in this activity, unto you is given tenfold opportunity to rise into that Christhood full, into that I AM Presence. Wherefore, no dispensation shall be forthcoming to those who have not sought a path of personal Christhood.... Beloved hearts, the Divine Decree has gone forth that unto them who have Light, more Light shall be added; but from them who have not, this day there is taken away that Light which they have abused and misqualified. <2> |
Those who have squandered the Light and failed their tests shall wait until another day to receive Light and our sponsorship again. For after all, neither we, the Elohim of God, nor any other of the ascended host desire to be tied to planet earth for aeons and aeons and aeons to come! (And this would be our lot if we were to sponsor those who should squander a quotient of Light that we might give them.)
This standard we have set is not “racial” discrimination, <3> beloved. This is the part of divine discrimination exercised by those eminent and benign beings who sponsor the Light and the Lightbearers in the earth. For many would-be initiates have matriculated at Maitreya’s Mystery School. Others have, with the best of intentions, applied and been accepted at the etheric retreats of our Brotherhood. But often their expectations are unrealistic.
Since they have been out of touch with the everyday reality of the so-called “real” world, they have even less co-measurement with the etheric octave, where the mind must take a quantum leap to equate with the realities of heaven. Thus when faced with a higher reality than they have had to face for some time, they raise up their defenses and say to their instructor: “Thus far and no farther. This is not what I bargained for. I have appointments to keep.”
So you see, beloved, your very sponsorship by Gurus ascended and unascended is predicated upon the willingness of Gurus to tarry with the earth and her evolutions. Thus you wonder and marvel at the presence of your Sanat Kumara and the Holy Kumaras, and we marvel also. But because the Lord Sanat Kumara has set the example, many lesser beings who are Ascended Masters, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and even Archangels have tarried with the earth.
I tell you at the very commencement of our address this day that you know not what great and deep gratitude you ought to have for Sanat Kumara. For he has set the standard for all the ascended host: he has determined not to leave earth’s evolutions, not yet. And all members of the Great White Brotherhood ascended and unascended have therefore followed suit. Thus I ask you to give a standing ovation to Sanat Kumara. [82-second standing ovation]
Indeed, Sanat Kumara is the keystone in the arch of this entire solar system. Be seated, beloved ones, that I might instruct you in the Logos that is the logic of the Law itself.
Why, then, do some have brilliance of mind? Why do some have facility in academic study, possessing an understanding of the way in which the universe works, while others do not?
Well, I will tell you, beloved. In many cases it is because their love of the will of God and their submission to that will has given them qualified access to the Mind of God. For these are trusted servants who on their honor and by their inner balance and inner determination would never, never misuse the power of God, the law of God or the ray of the will of God itself.
So then, beloved, the chelas who have made themselves servants of the Manus of the root races–of Lord Himalaya, Lord Vaivasvata, the God and Goddess Meru and the Great Divine Director–come to the place where the floodgates of Wisdom are opened unto them; for they have been ardent students of the Law and lovers of the will of God who meditate upon that Law day and night, as the Psalmist wrote, <4> and thus they can be entrusted with the knowledge of how things work. The “how” translates as the secrets of the mysteries of God revealed through the Cosmic Christ intelligence that issues from the Mind of God and is then superimposed upon the chakras and meshed with the human brain.
Beloved, those who live in the will of God find extraordinary resources available to them through the Holy Spirit. And I speak not merely of academic learning but of the knowledge of the deep things of God, <5> for such ones have a certain depth of consciousness because they have pursued the spiritual teachings lifetime after lifetime. And to this hour their souls are deeply involved in the mysteries of God’s will and the spiritual path at the same time that they are passionately concerned as to what future opportunities there may be for the Lightbearers and earth’s varied evolutions.
Those who have compassion, and that ultimate compassion of the Holy Spirit, and have “paid their dues” on the First Ray shall know this day in the earth, in the etheric octave, in the Ascended Masters’ retreats, wherever they are, a new wisdom, a new wise dominion, a new self-knowledge, a new ability to unfold the fairest flower, the blossoming of the seed of Christ in the heart and the seed of the Buddha in the mind. Yes, beloved, wisdom is a gift that must be earned, and when it is well-earned the reward is not withheld.
Some of the science and technology that is in the earth was stolen by fallen angels, who gave it not only to their underlings on the left-handed path but also to the mankind of earth. <6> Such goings on are difficult for us to prevent; for when the sons and daughters of God to whom this knowledge was originally given fell from grace and descended from the etheric octave to the physical, the very secrets of creation came under the control of the reprobate angels.
These rebels against the Woman and her seed managed to perpetuate themselves and their lineage for thousands of years and therefore they were there when civilizations rose and fell and they are here for the rise and fall of many souls. And so the generations of Cain very easily injected into succeeding civilizations the know-how to turn science, invention, technology, the arts of metallurgy and even the DNA of the highest and lowest evolutions to their evil designs.
So that is as it is. But they are shortly coming, one by one, day by day, century by century, to their termination unless of course they bend the knee, confess their sins, confess the Lord Christ as their Lord and Saviour and are willing to pay to the last farthing every karma that they have made.
Very few are willing to do this. Long ago they followed Cain, who went out from the I AM Presence of Lord Maitreya. He left the Mystery School and many followed him. For the Garden of Eden was the place prepared for the initiation of twin flames–Adam and Eve and many others. Here they were given the dispensation to be initiated under Lord Maitreya that they might be restored to grace. But for some the pull of the classification of fallen angels called Serpent was too great. With Cain they said, “It [my karma] is too hard. My punishment [my karma] is greater than I can bear. I will leave the Mystery School. I will live out my life in misery or drunken merriment, then die the endless death from which there is no return.”
To this day the seed of Cain and other Nephilim gods are addicted to their tranquilizers, to their drugs, to their needles, to strong spirits, heavy meats and the perversion of the sacred fire in vile acts with man and beast. Their pleasure cult is their ultimate denial of Reality and the drowning of what was once a living soul. For them it is easier to commit suicide, ultimate spiritual and physical suicide, than to retrace all those footsteps taken on the left-handed path since they turned their backs on the Great Central Sun and decided to walk in their own shadow.
Beloved hearts, know, then, the meaning of the true path of the wisdom of God and know that it is laid upon the foundation of the Guru-Chela relationship. <7> This path, which remains under the direction of Lord Maitreya, the same Lord who walked and talked with Adam and Eve and other twin flames in the Mystery School, begins with faith in yourself and trust in your Guru.
I would speak to you, then, of the requirement for faith in yourself and in your ability to be a chela on the Path. For this you need a goodly portion of self-confidence, which must needs be built first and foremost on spiritual foundations–self-knowledge that you have come from God, that you will return to God and that because your soul is deeply rooted in Reality you can weather any storm, from the worst to the best of your karma, from the crucifixion to the descent into Death and Hell and back again. This is the track of your inner life. It is a path of soul initiation that you walk by faith.
The track of your outer life, which also builds faith, is your accomplishment in your profession and in your interpersonal relations as a community servant meeting your obligations to family, friends, country and world. The faith you accumulate by your own consistent faithfulness becomes bricks of trust cemented in the deep foundations of being. Because you are faithful to yourself, made in the image of God, you have solid, unswerving trust in El Morya, faith in your I AM Presence and Holy Christ Self, and faith in God.
Then, because you are rooted in the bedrock of your own Being, you can begin to dig up and turn over the layers of the unconscious and the subconscious. And when you uncover a heap of troubles and crosscurrents of energy, I say, take recourse in the Immaculate Heart of the blessed Mary and in the Merciful Heart of the Bodhisattva Kuan Yin.
In the Immaculate Heart you discover that Mary is holding for you the immaculate concept of your reason for being fulfilled in this life. For the Immaculate Heart sees the original blueprint of the soul and understands the soul’s point of origin in the perfection of Elohim.
The Mother of the Saviour understands with the compassion of the Divine Mother’s heart how you went out of the way of your God-Reality and how you compromised your relationship to Lord Maitreya. She will help you to untangle the tangles of your karma. She will wield her Son’s sword of peace to halt the warring in your members, warring with your God, warring with the very ones you love–and hate.
Great is the power of Mother Mary’s intercession on behalf of your households and your families. You would do well to play the audiocassettes of her Scriptural Rosaries for the New Age upon arising. Your Mother does not mind if you recite them as you prepare for the day or drive to work, if that is the only time you have. But she urges you to sustain contact with her Immaculate Heart through the rosary, for thereby you empower her to restore your soul to wholeness.
And when you also seek recourse in the Merciful Heart of Kuan Yin, you come to understand from another perspective that mercy is as mercy does–that is, if you extend mercy to life, life extends mercy to you. And if there is one thing that you can do, and that you should be willing to do, to consume as quickly as possible the remnants of pain from abuses to your soul recorded in the conscious or unconscious mind, it is this–to extend mercy to every part of Life <*> and to have such a profound, compassionate sense of mercy toward those who have abused you or gone astray that you can say to yourself:
“There but for the grace of God go I. I will extend mercy to that part of Life, for no matter what problems I am going through, I know that that one needs me now. In the name of my Lord I will extend a tender, merciful, supporting presence to lift that one out of his bitterness toward parents, toward God, toward life.”
So you see, beloved, we have intertwined the fourteen stations of the cross being borne by the Woman and her seed betwixt these two heavenly beings, braiding the Hail Mary with the Chinese mantras offering homage to the sacred names of Kuan Yin. <8> Thus combining the Immaculate Heart of Mary with the Merciful Heart of Kuan Yin, you have the two most well-known heavenly mothers–one from the East and one from the West–to guide you in balancing your Eastern and Western karmas.
There is great value in studying the origins of the mantras of Kuan Yin, for through these you center your mind in the minds of the ancient ones of China. And as you recite the mantras in purest devotion, you begin to access the fohatic keys that are locked into the formulas of the mantras. These keys release concentrated foci of Light to the pure in heart. Thus you imbibe the nectar of Kuan Yin’s wisdom, as she is one with the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the cosmos just as Mary is one with the saints of Christendom and, if it is to be known, the saints of all legitimate spiritual paths.
These two World Mothers take you to the Heart of the Divine Mother, who is the source of Wisdom. It is she who unleashes its floodgates. This is quite an initiation and powerful, and she metes it out measure for measure and not all at once. But the
opening of those floodgates allows you to receive understanding little by little and more and more as you make it your goal to be in harmony in the will of God. And now and again the heavenly spheres of your Causal Body are opened to you where that great wisdom is stored, and the Mind of God is opened to you through your purest love for your Mighty I AM Presence.
And as you pursue the powerful call to the All-Seeing Eye of God that Cyclopea dictated to Mark Prophet, not only is your spiritual eye opened but your higher mind is also opened to you, and suddenly you have knowledge that you did not have five minutes before and you know that it came from nowhere except God.
Knowledge of things in the earth and of things above and beneath the earth, knowledge of prophecy of things to come in this world and in the next, the sudden mastery of subject matter that you have not studied in this life–such are the gifts of the wisdom of God that come to trusted devotees.
Moving on from the disciplines of El Morya’s Darjeeling retreat to your studies under Lord Lanto, the Chohan of the Second Ray, is a very important step. And you are not promoted until you have passed many, many initiations on the First Ray.
Of course, because you have free will, you can appropriate the heavenly light and science stolen by fallen angels from initiates of the Holy Kumaras gone astray. This is plucking forbidden fruit all over again, justified by the justification “Let us do evil that good may come.” <9> Yes, you can build your towers of Nimrod, but they will never be endowed with the flame of the ark of the covenant, the flame of the Holy Spirit.
This is why much intellectual knowledge is brittle and just plain boring–then again, it can be fun and fascinating. Those who have bought it have bought it on the black market. They go in and out by the back door. They have not entered in by the door of the Shepherd, Jesus Christ–into the fold of his sheep, who are his disciples. They have not surrendered to the Mind of Christ that encompasses the secrets of the whole of the created and the uncreated worlds.
Jesus discoursed on the true Guru-chela relationship when he said:
He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep....
Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. <10>
And so, the hireling intellect can rave on and on. It can strut about and show off its prowess, but it can only imitate the Christ Mind of the Shepherd so long. For the true disciples can see that the intellect without heart is nothing; furthermore, the intellect can contain but a thimbleful of the wisdom of the Mind of God.
And what can you take with you of an accumulation of a lifetime or lifetimes of intellectual knowledge if that knowledge is not endowed with a heart flame, with the Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood, with the values that originate in the will of God, in the wise dominion of one’s affairs and the submission of the soul to God?
Now I say to you, beloved, we see in many worthy chelas that there is yet turmoil in the subconscious and unconscious planes of being. Therefore as you plow the field of the mind, turning things over, uncovering and covering, you must douse that soil and whatever comes to light with heavy doses of violet flame.
Take the opportunity to give Kuan Yin’s Crystal Rosary once a month on the third Saturdays, beginning early in the morning. Walk the stations of the Aquarian cross with the Woman and her seed. Enter this rosary bearing the cross of the World Mother and exit it as the resurrected Christ. Call for the softening of the heart and use Kuan Yin’s mantras to transmute all hardness of heart. Open up your heart to a new love for all people. Feel the joy of Christ and Buddha coming into your soul that you can now give without reserve to receptive souls who will guard the flame of that joy on the altar of the heart.
Truly, the liberated heart is the sign of the adept. The adept is the one of highest love; and because he has the highest love, he is not lacking in intellect but his intellect derives from the Mind of God. The one who has the highest love will, because he loves, acquire the knowledge of the things of this world as well as the knowledge of the things of God. Thus balanced, he is ultimately effective on the path of righteousness.
I would humbly suggest–for even we as Elohim are humble before the tiny flame that burns in your heart–that having so given your honor and gratitude to Sanat Kumara, you forget not your El Morya. Realize that he carries a certain weight of your individual karmas (yet not all) that you might receive divine dispensations of mercy and justice for the perpetuation of your individual chelaship and your Community. Realize that he could do so much more for you if you would honor his day.
You must not take for granted the Master who has sponsored this activity of the Great White Brotherhood. Do not distrust him when you see that those things that you are pounding your fist on the table for or stomping your feet for are not falling in your lap overnight. Do not lose trust in the Master and forget, forget, forget, as the force would have you forget, that there are tests to be passed.
Thus I would remind you, beloved, every Tuesday is Morya’s day. And if you really want to solve all problems in your life, then let every one of you–and especially those of you who are thinking right now that you are excluded, for I say you are not–come here to King Arthur’s Court or your private sanctuaries and altars by 5:00 or 5:30 on Tuesday mornings and pour your hearts into your will of God decrees until it is time for you to tend to the work of the day. By plugging in on Tuesdays you are building momentum for the fourth of each month. <11>
I tell you, beloved, if you could see how Morya El turns heaven and earth upside down for you, how he enlists his own angels in your defense as well as the angels of God Mercury and the angels of any hierarch in heaven that he can possibly call upon, you would not want to be missing from his Tuesday a.m. roll call. Why, he knocks on the doors of countless ones throughout the hierarchy, saying, “May I borrow your angels? May I take them to Montana? May I use them to wage war against the forces that would subvert the purposes of our Community there?”
Beloved hearts, if you were as dedicated to El Morya as he is to you and if you knew what assignments he takes upon himself to sustain this Community, you wouldn’t even think twice about retiring early on Monday so you could get to the altar on Tuesday a.m. and give him the decrees he needs to get the job done for you and the planet. And some of you, I know, will be back Tuesday evening for Morya’s sake.
And then on the fourth, be willing to do what you would have been willing to do before you found this Teaching. As the Messenger said to God before she found Saint Germain, “I would crawl on my belly all the way around the earth just to find the Ascended Masters and their path.”
Blessed ones, I speak to each of you, heart to heart, and I ask you this question: How much do you want the sponsorship of El Morya?
Well, I tell you, think about it. And then think to yourself how much you as a chela will sponsor El Morya, how much you will trust him, will rejoice in him, will know that whatever he is doing he is working out the purposes of God in your life as much as you will let him! And as much as your karma will let him!
I say, let us inaugurate the remainder of the spring cycle unto the July conference with a renewed dedication to that Diamond Heart of Morya, that Diamond Heart of Light that will take you, beloved, where you want to go as long as where you want to go is the will of God. [34-second standing ovation]
From our home in Wisdom’s retreat, <12> we counsel you to lock into the heart of your Divine Spouse El Morya, your Guru, and to determine to be in that will of God until all things in your life come into place–every piece in the puzzle. Let the Zen Master Morya have his day in your heart, and see what he can do for you and what you can do for him!
We, Apollo and Lumina, seal this conference and we seal it in the greatest heart of all, the heart of Almighty God, who has given to us the heart of El Morya and his chelas.
[50-second standing ovation. Messenger turns toward the portrait of El Morya and she and the congregation extend salutations to the Master:]
Hail, El Morya! [Congregation joins in, clapping:]
Hail, El Morya! Hail, El Morya! Hail, El Morya!
Hail, El Morya! Hail, El Morya! Hail, El Morya!
Hail, El Morya! Hail, El Morya! Hail, El Morya!
Hail, El Morya! Hail, El Morya! Hail, El Morya!
Hail, El Morya! Hail, El Morya! Hail, El Morya!
Hail, El Morya!
