Every Day Have at Least
One More Victory than Defeats
Part 2
I survey the nations and I would speak to you about my observations. Won’t you, then, be seated.
There are those who are die-hard materialists, and you do waste your time going after them, for they have absolutely no connection to the spiritual octaves. There are others who do have strong ties to the spiritual octaves but in this life they have gone astray into the world of materialism. I ask you, then, to know who you are after and to cut them free.
A selfishness has become as a mist, a black mist, over the nations of Europe. And that selfishness has been bred, whether through socialism or other factors. It is a pity, because, you know, the ten tribes reincarnated on that continent and they have gone astray. They did not move with Ephraim and Manasseh to the new land. They did not move. And so those who have descended in this nation are the children—the children that have descended from Ephraim and Manasseh.
You will understand this more and more. Make the call swiftly. The selfishness and self-love and all the indulgences of such a selfishness breed cancer in those who surround themselves with these energies. And the cancer is swift and it is sudden. Selfishness is the root cause of the cancer of the body. And then that cancer does increase by wrong diet, wrong food, toxins, et cetera.1
The diseases of the world are all based on karma. That is a fact. But there are some who have gone into places of infestations and they have gone as angels of mercy. And some of you have given your lives while tending the sick during the black plague of the fourteenth century. You have known and you have given in full sacrifice your lives for others. And when you have tended the sick, beloved, you have loved them as you would love Christ, as you would carry Christ down from the cross in your arms (as you see this vignette as the Blessed Mother holds him after he has come down from the cross).
Yes, beloved, these momentums are within you. You have lived in ages when you were profoundly devout and had siddhis.2 And then you have gone into other ages where the outer world has taken you and taken you into its momentum. Remember the early days. Remember the days of yore when you knew who God was, you knew who you were and you understood where you were going on the Path. Yes, you have had those inklings despite the fact that all knowledge was not available to you.
I ask you to look at your life as a long procession of changing of garments every so many decades. Some have been short lives and some long. See yourselves as on the movie screen in Darjeeling, that you might know how you have walked, that you might hear yourself conversing with others, that you might look at yourself objectively and see how much time and light and energy you have squandered and how much more you could have accomplished in certain embodiments.
There is not a single one of us on earth or in heaven today that does not regret the wasting of time and opportunity in a previous life. We keep those lives to the forefront of our minds, beloved, to remind us, never again, by the grace of God, shall we waste energy, time or effort in the cause of the Great White Brotherhood.
Do not look at this life as something so great and special that you want to enjoy everything under the sun that you can possibly enjoy and still be a chela on the Path. Have a larger view of the soul and the life and realize that you have tasted of every cup and drunk of it. You have tasted every fare that has been offered to you. You have been poor and wealthy. You have been beggar and king. Yes, beloved.
I must ask the question and leave this in your mind for the conclusion of this mighty conference. Just how many times do you care to go through the old human ups and downs, the old human ways in this and that? How long will it take you to wean yourself of the lusts of the flesh, of the pulls here and there, et cetera, et cetera?
Now I AM forcing you to look all the way back to the continent of Atlantis and all the way back to Lemuria. And I would tell you of a Keeper of the Flame of this community who recently passed on after a difficult illness. And that Keeper of the Flame knew, for he was told also by Mark Prophet, that he was there on Lemuria. All the way back so many thousands of years ago, that one came through Lemuria, came through Atlantis, came through Europe and then back to the United States and finally found the path of the Teachings of the Ascended Masters. A long, long, long, long road, beloved.
To go back is a calculated risk because you do not know what is truly back there waiting for you. To go back in the mists of time in other civilizations, you will not find what Saint Germain has guaranteed you today. Things will not be like the twentieth century superimposed upon the ninth century, beloved. Things will be as they were then, with no Saint Germain and the violet flame to intercede, without many masters who have since put themselves in position.
A backward step, a single backward step, can put you backwards in time to such an extent that it will be like tumbling down a tunnel that goes straight into the earth in the astral plane. And when you finally reach the bottom and you pick yourself up and you brush yourself off and you look around you, you will say, “Where am I? What am I doing here?”
I say to you, then, do not take Almighty God for granted. Do not take the heyday of dispensations that you have received since the 1950s to the present through these messengers—do not take anything for granted, not even that the sun rises and sets or the rain falls and the crops are harvested.
The day and the hour will come, beloved, when you will have all you can do to have your victory and clean escape from a picture that does not look rosy from our viewpoint. And this is not to contradict our ultimate goal for the victory of the Aquarian age. You are still in the dregs of Pisces, and these dregs are certainly bowing down the greatest and the least of people.
I say, hold fast what thou hast received! This is the command of the Knight Commander. Gain ground in your life and in your soul, then hold it! Write it in your journal. Note the day and date: “This day and date I have vowed never to take a backward step and never to let my failures exceed my victories.”
Blessed ones, it is the only sure road to success—each and every day another step up the mountain, each and every day moving toward the sun. Keep your eye on the sun and do not look back, for you can have it in this life. Do not take it for granted.
These are my words to you, beloved. Do not take anything for granted. And in so doing you will take responsibility 100 percent for your ascension. Do you understand this, beloved? [“Yes.”]
Go away with this mighty truth. Go away empowered by all of us of the first ray. Yes, beloved, whether it be a thimbleful or a barrel, there is nary a one of you who shall depart from this retreat without an increase of the blue flame. Guard the flame! Do not misqualify it. For when we come again a year hence, we want to find that you have kept what you have increased, else we cannot give you again and multiply it.
This way is not hard, but you must be fastidious in your self-discipline if you would know the favors of the masters of the first ray and the Maha Chohan.
The Maha Chohan, the representative of the Holy Spirit, that one, make him your dearest friend and companion on the Path and be willing to submit to his disciplines. For he knows whereof he takes you, and so do I.

“The Summit Lighthouse Sheds Its Radiance o’er All the World to Manifest as Pearls of Wisdom.”
This dictation by El Morya was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Tuesday, July 4, 1995, during the eleven-day conference FREEDOM 1995: “Soul Evolution—A Fusion of Mind and Spirit,” held June 24 through July 4, 1995, at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana.
1. The ascended masters do not recommend the avoidance of established medical procedures. Nor do they recommend the application of any healing technique without the advice and supervision of a licensed health care practitioner. The masters encourage the prevention of illness through natural methods, including a disciplined diet, exercise, fresh air, a positive spiritual and mental attitude and wise health care in every area of living. However, this is not a substitute for medication and the proper medical care under a physician when needed.
2. siddhis [Sanskrit, roughly translated as “perfect abilities”]: supernatural powers acquired through the practice of yoga, such as clairaudience, clairvoyance, levitation, supremacy over the body and mind, knowledge of a previous birth, dominion over the elements, vision of perfected beings, and the power of making oneself invisible. The supreme siddhi is enlightenment.
