Ho! Ho! Ho!
Who among you are my chelas? [Audience: “I am!”]
Wondrous to behold are my chelas!
I come with a living fire. I come now as opportunity has been given to me by the Lords of Karma to speak to you, my chelas. Therefore, be seated in the spiral of victory that I have placed in your seats while you were standing. [14-second applause]
It is a coil of yellow fire of wisdom's flame that I do wrap around the spinal altar that you might have impetus to rise upon that flame and upon the sacred fire upon the altar of being. Yes, beloved ones, I come that you might have the light of wisdom, even a single petal of the thousand-petaled lotus, alive, sparkling, begetting another and another.
I come, beloved, to hasten you. Hasten, then, to the mark of your high calling in God,<1> to the mark of your I AM Presence. Hasten! Hasten the days, beloved. Count opportunity as almost miraculous these days, for you have been told that the ascended masters are not taking on new chelas. Well, beloved, I will tell you one reason, and that is, with major changes in the earth brewing beneath the surface of the earth, with all possible components of what could happen north, south, east and west, we do not want to be involved with chelas who then go the downward path and therefore tie us to the earth once again.
We come, then, to speak to our chelas. And we direct our fire and our voice this day to all souls in the earth who may become the chela of the will of God under me. I take this opportunity—and perhaps it is a chance that I take, but I take it, beloved—because, according to the Solar Logoi and the Lords of Karma, this is a tremendous hour for your victory. It is an auspicious hour, beloved, for it is the brilliance of the daylight and the thunder of the sun that may precede darkness if the movement of evolutions in the planet and the leadership move toward that darkness, thus fulfilling their astrology that is indeed negative in these hours.
You have learned the way of the Science of the Spoken Word to bind the configurations in your astrology. And therefore you have learned a keen method of transmutation, transmutation of that which is about to descend, has not yet descended. And you move in with a thrust and you bind that substance of your karma and you gain new stature as a chela and new chelaship.
So, you see, beloved, we would move you to positions of choice—choice because you have manifested [the balancing of] 51 percent of your karma and therefore have the option to take your ascension. We recommend that you take your ascension whenever it is possible, beloved, because of the uncertainty of the future and the future of a planet, which may not provide a single ascended master to sponsor those who are there if the worst-case scenario comes to pass.
So, beloved, I am the master that pursues my chelas. I would like to have it the other way around. [11-second applause] I would ask you to pursue me with a passion, to go after me, to tug upon my turban, to hold onto my garments as I move swiftly here and there. There is much that you can learn from me and others who serve with me and under me. But you may also learn swiftly from your messenger. Take advantage of that opportunity, beloved. We gave her the stiff training so that she could pass it on to you.
It takes more than wearing the badge,<2> beloved. It takes willingness to jump into the fire. Yes, jump into the fire even of her heart, even in my heart! Understand, beloved, that you can accelerate when you see the star that beams to you. And when you look upon that star, you say:
Morya would send me. I will fit myself for whatever I must go through to reach that place of individual Christhood, my soul bonded to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to the heart of my Holy Christ Self. That is the place I want to be—in the earth—so long as I have life and breath and health and will to do so.
I desire to be that flaming chela. I desire to draw from the depths of my being, from the depths of the earth, from the depths of the ascended masters as much fire as I can hold, and hold in harmony.
I, then, will go after those things that are beneath the surface. I will go after those things in therapy, in prayer, in monumental works and in dynamic decrees.
Yes, beloved, come forward and be first-ray chelas under me, and I will show you how many great ones [there are] throughout the earth—those who are in Asia, those who are the great monks and nuns, those who have disciplined themselves, those who conserve the sacred fire by not too much verbosity. Blessed ones, I speak to you of those who are your brothers and sisters. I call you this night at the conclusion of this conference. Journey to Darjeeling, for we have much to tell you, person by person and to each one.
Come to the place, beloved, where life is not a struggle, where life is not even a sense of struggle. Get beyond the struggle, beloved, and into the heart of God.
There is a fire around you that you can multiply by your own dynamic decrees, by the fervor of your heart and the deep desire to save the children of the world, to bring them to that maturity whereby civilization may continue and the roots of the past and the history of the past may bring forward generations of lightbearers who will not have that tie unless they finally are tutored by real teachers—those of the Spirit, those who are wise, those who are dedicated to education, to the education of the heart and the mind.
I ask you, then, to have ingenuity regarding your chelaship and regarding the balance of your karma. Do those things that will make this organization happen, that will make this organization happen now and spread throughout the world as a mighty brushfire.
We have no time to lose, beloved! The time is short! I reconfirm this. I tell you this. I want you to go home with it. I want you to make it your business to balance karma through good works, through compassion, through love, through obedience to the laws of God and an inner listening. When you bow at your personal altar, wherever it may be that you are praying, I ask you to call to me. Call to me for that energy of the will of God. Call to me, beloved ones, for we must move.
I will give you a tough course in chelaship. But if you take it swiftly and if you listen to my messenger, you will get through it! For many of you have been here for ten, twenty and thirty years. You are ready. You are absolutely ready.
And therefore I am charging this messenger to see to it that this staff has pummeling. And there must be, then, from the staff a cooperation, an understanding that whatever fire you receive from me through the messenger is warranted, that it is a core fire of love, always carrying the flame of love, and yet it comes to sear you and take from you those elements of self which are typically unreal. The unreality must go, and you must see this.
Therefore, beloved, even those who have been on the staff in past years (some still here, some not) would not even think of allowing the messenger to correct them! Well, beloved, you will have a long, long, long way to go, perhaps a journey of a million miles and many incarnations, if you are not ready to hear from a teacher who has been taught by us.<3>
Beloved ones, it was not only I, it was the Maha Chohan, the Blessed Mother, Jesus, Kuthumi—yes, we all pitched in because the messenger-to-be was determined and we were determined. And therefore we all knew that the stakes were high and that this planet must be saved. And even the messenger at the tender age of twenty-two could see that all things would go into ultimate oblivion and darkness if there were not a messenger. And I told her point-blank, there was not and would be not another messenger; did she want the job or not? And she said, “I'll take it.”
[40-second standing ovation]
Beloved ones, I bow to the diamond heart within you. And I see that heart and visualize it in you in the etheric octave. You can increase the white fire of that diamond, beloved, each time you make a diamond-hearted decision—a diamond-hearted decision. This means that with the fire of your heart you invoke the diamond-shining mind of God. And that diamond-of-the-heart is your determination to cut through every substance of every human creation that is anywhere in self and in the planet.
Now, beloved, I would bid the messenger be seated that I might continue to converse with you.
Let us sound the Om together:Beloved, I must tell you that some who are here and some who have left this community (and I speak of our beloved staff) have taken it upon themselves to intimidate the messenger, to do so in a way that says, “Don't speak to me in this manner. Don't train me in this manner.” And so for some time now the messenger has been pussyfooting around those would-be chelas who want the fire but not the spanking. Well, it takes both, beloved. You want the fire? You will get the spanking! [11-second applause] Only the spanking comes first; and then you receive a quotient of fire and then you recognize yourself as someone you never really knew before because of the coating of the world's energy.
This is a miraculous thing, beloved, to be corrected, to be God-taught, to be loved, to be cherished, to be mothered by the messenger here below and by your beloved Lanello. Twenty-four hours a day, in and out of the body, these Two Witnesses come to you.
We come at inner levels and so do the Two Witnesses, for we find that you are much more receptive to the path of chelaship when you come to our retreats while your bodies sleep at night. You get an entirely new perspective. You perceive the heaven-world. You taste the etheric realm. You see the masters. You are taught by them. And then when you come back into your body, most of that is gone; you do not remember it. And sometimes you do—a little bit here, a glance there, a premonition, a word that brings to mind something that you were given in the inner retreats.
Yes, beloved, we would like to see you accelerate in having that memory. It is not possible yet because the four lower bodies are in a process of healing. Many of your four lower bodies have gone through tremendous trauma and turmoil. And so, beloved, we have allowed these things to remain at inner levels so that you are not facing burdens of the past that might overwhelm you.
This is the reason for a new start in life when the newborn babe comes forth. The slate is wiped clean. The child may begin a new life. The Christ Self will give to the child, at some point, portions of past negative karma. And if that child is reared in divine love, in the purpose of the will of God, in illumined pathways, that child will rise and become a conqueror. That child will come and beg for the Path. That child will break through the veil, puncture right through, and see the ascended masters face to face. Who do you think your children are looking at when they suddenly speak of El Morya or Saint Germain or Jesus or Mother Mary? Why, it is because our Presence is with you and with your children.
So now, to the point, beloved: we must pummel you. We have a good pummeler and you must receive her. If you do not, I will throw up my hands in despair and say, “Where will I find chelas that are ready?” I ask you, beloved, therefore, once again, as I have asked you before, if you want to be pummeled, wear the pin with the three blue dots, the Roerich emblem.<2>
This time I ask you to write to the messenger and write to me and tell us how far you want us to take you, just how far, beloved. And you will have it, I promise. You will have it and you will wonder why you waited and hid and went this way and that way when you saw the messenger coming. I tell you, beloved, you have one who can lead you to the threshold of being the Bride of Christ.
I ask you, please receive my messenger. Go on the Path with her and you will find that this was not as hard as you imagined at all because you have for the most part transmuted so much of your karma. You have worked with your psychology. You have prepared yourself for this hour. Now it takes the intensity.
This fire cannot burn without intensity, beloved. Do you understand this? The fire of a mission must be present or the mission will fail. The fire of a chela must be present or the chela will fail. Only fire can transform you! I speak of the sacred fire, beloved. That is the transforming power. That is why you must accelerate. That is why you accelerate your dynamic decrees. For, beloved, even the decrees themselves generate a heat and a fire.
So you come to that place of the embodiment of fire and then you can take the disciplines! You cannot take them unless you have the fire. The fire you can call forth from your I AM Presence, from your Holy Christ Self, from all masters in heaven. But you must call it forth! You must keep those home fires burning on the altar of your heart. You must have a fire that you can release when someone in need needs that fire.
And you may walk the earth one day in the not-too-distant future and you may find that the fire of your being is a healing power unto those who are sick and dying. And the very essence that is in your pores, that is in the molecules of being, that is in the organs will be transformed by this fire that you may be healed and you may heal others.
So, my beloved, we come full circle and we say, give Morya three and a half years. Give me those three and a half years and I will stand you up in a line and I will point to the ones who are my chelas. I will do this with my staff first so that all the rest of the community may not faint at even the idea that this might happen to them. [applause] Beloved ones, I shall do it! I shall do it!
[30-second standing ovation]
