Releasing the Flame of Freedom
Enshrined in the Capitals of the Nations
Part 1
I come in the flaming presence of the hosts of the Lord! I come surrounded by the forces of freedom! I AM the flame of freedom! I AM the Goddess of Freedom! I AM the consciousness of the fullness of the feminine potential of the freedom of the Godhead. I travel through the cosmos surrounded by legions of freedom.
Armed Freedom I am called. When one has the flame of cosmic accountability for cosmic freedom, one does not remain unarmed. I come bearing in my right hand the sheathed sword and in my left the shield of armour and the laurel wreath of victory. Upon my head, the five-pointed stars I carry are for the victory of evolutions and lifewaves, testing in the fire of the secret rays that flame of freedom which must first be disciplined within ere it can be the disciplined manifestation of life without. The eagle of Sirius is my signet and my crown, feathers as flames of fire from the God Star, adornment of the feminine ray, protection of the crown chakra of the Mother who has realized the flame of Father.
In my heart there burns a fire, a fire augmented by the fires of Saint Germain. And I stand in the presence of this land. I stand with the hosts of the Lord encamped round about, intensifying the action of the light of freedom enshrined by Saint Germain in the capitals of the nations. <1> Therefore my cosmic momentum of freedom reigns as the love fires of a nation and every nation. And from that sun of even pressure within my heart, a million rays of light [go forth], a million billion rays of light contacting souls evolving on Terra, contacting the focuses in the capitals of the nations.
I Release the Energy of Mother
I come to release the light of Saint Germain by the thrust of the power of the feminine ray. For I, too, am the Shakti of the God of Freedom. I release the energy of Mother for every ascended and cosmic being who has espoused the flame of freedom and who has mastered the masculine ray of freedom and is releasing that ray of the Spirit into Mater in this hour of the grand culmination of life in so many systems of worlds.
Brothers and sisters of freedom, be the equals of the Gods--not out of pride but out of humility. Because you are conceived in God, you have a claim to the flame which I AM; therefore, in potential, you have equality with all of the sons and daughters of God of a cosmos. In actuality, there is no equality in hierarchy. Neither can there be equality in the evolutions of any lifewave, for all are fitted by the Master Planner of life into this blueprint of the gems and diadems that compose the armour of the Goddess of Freedom.
And the laurel wreath--it is the crown of the victors, the victors who have conquered their selfishness, their sensuality, their darkness and their self-deception. It is the flow of fire of the crown of twelve stars of the Divine Mother. <2> I come carrying that laurel wreath, and I am ready to place it upon the heads of the sons and daughters of God in this age who have made their calling and their election sure <3> in the victory of the sacred fire of the twelve solar hierarchies.
Single Souls Who Turn the Tide
I AM Mother. I AM Mother in all of life. I came to be enshrined in America upon the insistence of the great patriarch, exponent of the Father and the Law and the principle, your own Abraham Lincoln. It was he who determined that the statue of Armed Freedom <4> should be erected even in the dark hours of the Civil War. So he saw that “the hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world.” <5> He saw in Mother the liberation of a mighty people. He saw in Mother the synthesis of all of the separatists, of all of those who cannot find the way to converge in the flame of Liberty. Great champion of all peoples, in the heart of this president of the United States of America there yet burns the flame, the flame for the resolution of the division of the Union.
What gratitude from hierarchy above and below to those single individuals who have stood and stood through all and have yet been found standing, defending freedom, defending a concept of principle, of Christhood, of nationhood, of the mandala of the thirteen. These individuals are not numberless, but they are single souls who come forth at the calling of the Great White Brotherhood in every age, in every dark night of the soul of nations and kingdoms and continents--single souls who turn the tide in the entire evolution and generation of darkness that hangs over the land.
Many Souls to Whom the Calling Is Given
Now we enter into the company of many souls to whom the calling is given. We come in the midst of many who have in the heart the flame of love, the flame of devotion and, above all, an understanding of cosmic law. For mankind have formulated laws. Yes, they have evolved systems and ideologies, but these will fail when they are not in conformity to cosmic law, to the will of God, and to the inner blueprint of the soul of individuals and nations. Build as they will, build as they will, the empire builders will stand to see all of their creations come to naught when that fire that tries every man’s work is released; and that work which is not the work of God must be burned, <6> must be leveled, and mankind are called to begin again.
I survey the future. I survey the opportunities of mankind and I say to you, do you think that the Ascended Masters’ concepts are limited to those ideologies and political and economic theories that are evolved by your current intellectuals and the elite of science and government? Do you think that the Great White Brotherhood must be confined to such idiocy? Do you think that we do not know the Law, that we do not see the handwriting upon the wall?
Do you think that the principles taught by the Lord Buddha and the Lord Christ do not remain to the present hour as the foundation of all government and the flow of abundance in the economies of the nations? Do you think that because mankind have the backing of millions of souls and of supply for their theories that this makes them more powerful than the hosts of the Lord and the edicts of the Lords of Karma?
Factor No. 1: The Force of the Lightbearers in This Age
The question is, will those individuals who are taking mankind on the course, the juggernaut course, of their own karmic self-destruction be challenged, or will they be allowed to take yet other millions of souls down the path to that self- destruction? Well I tell you, with all of their planning for world takeover, world government, world religion and expansion beyond the stars, with all of their planning and their plots, they have not taken into account a number of factors which I would call to your attention, not the least of which is the force, the very real force of the lightbearers in this age, of the sons and daughters of God who will not be limited by their doctrines and their dogmas, who will not be separated into separate camps, who will remember the words of the Angel of Unity, “Remember, ye are brethren!”
Sons and daughters of God who will not forget the flame of love, which is the crux of overcoming in this age, have you noticed that they have forgotten love--love of the people, love of one another, love of Christ, love of the culture of the Mother, love of the holy children? Love is glaringly absent from the dry formulas of the theoreticians of the day, and therefore they will be as tinkling cymbal and sounding brass <7>; they will be as naught. For without the flame of love, they will be self-consumed by the cancer of hatred which they have spawned over the nations of the earth.
One, then: The force of the lightbearers has not been reckoned with; it is not even spoken of in this land. The Great White Brotherhood, the teachings of the Ascended Masters, the Messengers and the chelas of the Law are not identified as a force--political, religious, economic or cultural. So let it be. The Darjeeling Council will announce one of these days its plan for the spreading abroad of mankind’s awareness of this force.
Factor No. 2: The Earth Is a Finite Sphere
Second: They have not reckoned with the fact that the earth is a finite sphere. In their unquenchable greed for conquest, economic conquest, and the building of the empire of Nimrod and the Tower of Babel, <8> they have not reckoned with the fact that there are finite resources, finite land, finite air and waters and all energies accessible to every nation on earth.
Projections have been made by the Club of Rome, <9> by other scientists and bodies of those who have studied [this situation], even using their computers to project the fate of the earth. They have all concluded that after the year 2000, in the coming decades, the resources will be exhausted. Whether or not their conclusions are accurate depends on vital decisions that must be made by those who have the flame of hierarchy and of the Law and an understanding of cosmic purpose. The race of arms is a futile race, for by the time anyone is ready to use nuclear power, that power will indeed be obsolete.
O mankind, the collision course of the blind leaders of the blind in East and West is such an obvious folly that if we were not cosmic beings with the all-seeing eye, we would wonder why the intelligent people, the citizens, the educated citizens of the world would not rise up to overthrow these insane leaders who have not reckoned with the teaching of the Buddha.
Factor No. 3: The Purpose of Existence and Life
And this, my third point: They have not reckoned with the purpose of existence and life--not economic escalation, not the continuation of the production of goods and more goods, not the continuation of a conquest of lands and peoples, but the development of the Christ consciousness, the development of the Buddhic light. And therefore they are wrong, one and all, because they yet retain desire that is not the desire of God to be God, which is the only legitimate desire. They retain that attachment of which Lord Buddha spoke: attachment to the fruit of action.
They are attached by greed, by gluttony, by the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit of carnal desire for more and more, failing to nourish the souls of the people, failing to train mankind in the development of the heart. Even your own historian Toynbee predicted the rise and fall of civilizations on the basis of the fact that when the material expansion reaches a certain point, unless the people go within for spiritual development that civilization is doomed. And this, this, my friends, is the cause of the failure of every civilization that has gone down since the early days of Atlantis, this fact: that the greed for material conquest and materialism overtakes and strangles the hunger of souls for reality, for freedom and for the flame of freedom.
Youth of the Aquarian Age--Future Leaders of the Land
Do you not understand, then, that few among the American people, the youth of the Aquarian age who are turning to the things of the Spirit, to the development of self-mastery and the discipline of the path of initiation--these are the ones who have tuned in to the delicate winds of the age of Aquarius? These are on the track. These are the future leaders of the land if they themselves can be rescued from the false ideologies of the fallen ones, if they can be separated out from the false teachers, who also are motivated. Their motive is manipulation; and manipulation in any form is never freedom, but bondage.
Therefore, ask yourself, are you the object of someone’s manipulation? Or are you at the mercy of your own carnal mind and are you powerless to stand in defense of Saint Germain because you are in bondage in one form or another to the carnal mind and its greed and its endless desires to acquire, to achieve in the cult of success?
Do you think that the cult of success is only in the West? You have only to look at the grab for land and territory by those who follow the Marxist doctrine. See, then, how the Communist world is also besieged by the cult of success--which they decry--and they go hither and there to claim lands and peoples for the camp of World Communism.
The evils in society are widespread. They are not confined to East or West. They are simply on the opposite sides of vibration: in the West, the perversion of the Christ consciousness; in the East, the perversion of the Holy Spirit. And therefore polemics, endless political polemics, and never the release of soul freedom.
This Is the Moment for the Development of the Within
And so I say to you this: that unless all the nations of the world will make an about-face and cease their struggling for control of one another and of peoples and masses and wealth and the ecology and the resources, unless one and all they turn within to realize that this is the moment for the development of the Within...
This is the moment to let materialism be. Let economic progress be. Let there be a leveling-off. Let there be a return to the life that is humble, that is simple, that is without so many needs to continually gratify the senses.
I appeal, then, to Keepers of the Flame. For unless this occur, you see, the world, East and West, is headed for that collision course when the resources will run out, when the landed areas for which the political powers are vying will be no more, when the finite world will suddenly come to a screeching halt. But mankind’s desires will not come to a halt, and a sudden stopping of the collision course at that moment will not be possible. Unless, then, there be the reversing of the tide of goals and aims, there can only be the futility and the failure of civilizations. -

4. Statue of Armed Freedom. Thomas Crawford, a neoclassical sculptor, was commissioned in around 1855 to design a statue to stand upon the Capitol dome. He passed on in 1857, shortly after completing his model of Armed Freedom. Clark Mills, another American artist, cast the statue between 1860 and 1863 in a foundry just three miles from the Capitol. Though the Civil War had broken out in 1861, President Lincoln is known to have insisted that work on the Capitol dome—to him a symbol of national solidarity—continue. Finally, on December 2, 1863, Armed Freedom was enshrined atop the Capitol dome. The President watched as the last section was raised into place, and the event was heralded by a 35-gun salute.
