I Am a Father Who Broods over
His Children
Part 2
I come, then, for my lambs, those who need the Shepherd. I come for my sons and daughters throughout the earth who have in themselves that living flame and are playing their roles in the governments of many nations. I come for many; for I am a father who broods over his children, the children of earth and the children of heaven.
So, beloved, I encourage you to continue climbing that mountain of self, climbing and climbing that mountain. I encourage you to use your time wisely to gain eternal life, to gain the riches of the kingdom and to reinforce what the Brotherhood has established.
I send forth now my angels to the four winds, to the four corners of the earth to bring home to me new circles of my children who will gather, who will listen, who will learn, who will receive the torch from those who have gone before them, who will pick up the pieces and will put together that platform for the delivery of the Teachings of the Ascended Masters.
I am grateful for you who so love my words, my messages, the messages of the ascended masters. I am grateful that you have it in your heart and in your hands to make possible the dissemination of my speaking—speaking to the small groups that gathered and then larger groups and then larger, until I took my leave of this octave to hold the balance for all of you that you might ascend to the heart of God in this life.
This is my prayer. This is my work day and night, to bring the ripened fruit to that point of personal Christhood. I am grateful, then, that though my life was cut off in an untimely season, my words might live and be heard and be understood. I thank you for giving me the door that I may walk through and be present anywhere on earth where my teachings are given on tape.
This is a vast opportunity for us all. I pray that you consider what a great boon it is to you and to me—for the good karma, for the opening of the age of Aquarius, for assistance to Saint Germain that he might gain more dispensations for support of beloved El Morya in his hour of trial, in his hour of victory as the century concludes and new years unfold, one astrology building upon another, until the challenges are like passing through the eye of a needle. The challenges must be met by a spiritual force that you now garner in the storehouse of being, in the chakras and in the aura, so that you are unmovable before the descent of your own karma, let alone the karma of the nations.
And so, beloved, people can be braced in my aura and in your aura, one with me, as I count you my chelas. And therefore, they can have hope and courage and enlightenment. And as they know me, beloved, and remember me in the spoken Word, so then that tie is established to those who are pure in heart, who are as children, whose souls are free and who have recognized my fathering of them for many centuries.
Therefore, it is truly an hour to be grateful and to consider how great is the work of strengthening souls by your own personal path of Christhood. It is hard indeed, beloved. No one has ever said it is not hard. But each drop of blood, the sweat, the tears nets you the gain of another drop of reality and another and another. And as the years pass, you say, “I am real. I am real with the Great Divine Director. I know my God-reality in my temple.” And as you know this and as you break the bread of life, the Word and the teaching, with others—as you know this, beloved, it is inevitable, it is unavoidable: the forces of darkness are terrified. Thus, they strike, individual by individual, where that Christ is manifesting.
Be not moved. I am there. I am with you. I do not leave you. Be not moved. Show all the cosmos the strength of your being, the conviction of your own Godhood, the conviction that Moses gave to you that ye are gods, all of ye are sons and daughters of the Most High. But then he said, “And ye shall die like princes.”1 And that is the point you must recognize. The princes in this earth are the Nephilim princes.2 If you follow them and their way of life, if you imitate them, thus you take on their identity and forsake your Christ-identity; and therefore, you shall live and die like them rather than entering the coils of immortality of your own being.
Where does immortality come from? It is the seed within you. It is the sacred fire. It is the life force. Let no man take this crown of immortality from you in exchange for paltry things that come and go and pass away.
I speak of fulfillment at all levels of being. I speak of a charted fulfillment and an educated path of fulfillment. Fulfillment, aye, is necessary. Take heed, then, that in fulfilling yourself you do not neglect the fulfillment of God nor rail against the tough initiations that come to see what is left of that human pride—come to see what is left of it.
Pride must go or go before the fall,3 one or the other. When pride is slain, keep sword in hand to slay it again. It is a deep root. But always replace it with the realization that “I AM God—all of me in God as one with all other God-manifestations.”
Oh, see beyond and see through the mists and the maya! See the reality you are a part of and that you are entering. Oh yes, see it, beloved! This is a spiritual path, but only you make it so. As though a thousand wells surrounded you and you did not draw water, so is the spiritual path. It is somewhat like exercise, is it not? You can think about it, you can plan it, you can make commitments to do it, but none of these is the real thing. Thus, [if you are] surrounded by angels and heavenly beings, but you do not drink of the cup, how can you say, “I am on a spiritual path”? Your soul is dry and parched. Feed it. Give it to drink. Let me speak to your soul.
The Mother has wisely assigned to you in this conference teachings from my heart, for this truly is the conference during which I seek that profound bonding with each one of you. I come to love you. I come to put my arms around you each one, to press you to my heart, to press you to my bosom and to take from you what you are ready to let go of.
Oh yes, beloved, I am here and I would pour into you, as mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, my words. And because you cannot always hear me, hear me, then, through my teachings, through my tapes and through the masters’ dictations. I am with you always. You do not always know it, but it is so. I am always with the messenger; I am always with you.
This is the reason for being of community. We must draw the line—we must draw the circle, a circle about it and say, “Within this circle we have rules, because by those rules we transcend ourselves. Without them, we do not experience self-transcendence and we become as a dried-up reed.”
Therefore, we have chosen this inner circle. We have chosen to be, to know, to live, to rejoice, to be happy, to dance, to sing [and] to mourn and be sorrowful for those who know not how to enter in to our laughter or to our tears.
I am with you, beloved. I am the strength of God undiluted. I know that I AM God. I know that you are God. Let us know it together! Let us be the shining ones, undaunted. Let us admit no defeat but [know] the intensification of the coil of immortality within.
I seal your hearts with this message and you shall be hearing from me throughout these days. You may write me letters, put them in the basket, talk with me, walk with me, sigh with me, tell me what is your burden, tell me what are your plans.4 I am with you and I stand by you at the level at which you find yourself now. And I may gently or fiercely suggest that you take a little turn here and a little turn there, so as not to miss the rewards of service that you have so graciously offered me.
Thus, I am yours always to command. I AM Lanello of the Order of the White Cross.
“The Summit Lighthouse Sheds Its Radiance o’er All the World to Manifest as Pearls of Wisdom.”
This dictation by Lanello was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Wednesday, October 6, 1993, during the seven-day conference “Prayer Vigil to Restore the T’ai Chi of Elemental Life,” held October 6 through 11, 1993, at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana.
1. “I have said, ‘Ye are gods, and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men and fall like one of the princes.’” Ps. 82:6, 7. On October 20, 1993, Elizabeth Clare Prophet confirmed that these are Moses’ words, though they are not attributed to him in scripture.
2. The messenger has revealed that the princes of this world are the Nephilim gods. The Hebrew term for giants (nephilum) means “the fallen-down-ones.” In the Fallen Angels and the Origins of Evil, Elizabeth Clare Prophet cites Hebrew scholar Julian Morgenstern, who notes that “Nephilim is in the passive voice, i.e., ‘those who were made to fall’ or ‘those who were cast down’” (64-65). According to The HarperCollins Bible Dictionary, Nephilim “could mean ‘fallen ones’ and allude to stories in related cultures of rebellious giants defeated by the gods in olden times.” The Bible dictionary records: “Israelite spies describe the inhabitants of Hebron as Nephilim, so large and powerful that ‘we seemed like grasshoppers’ [Num. 13:33]” (p. 748). Elizabeth Clare Prophet delivered a lecture, “Planet Earth: The Future Is to the Gods” (September 12, 1980, available at www.AscendedMasterLibrary.org), tracing the history of these self-styled gods. Her analysis, based on archaeology and information from ascended master retreats, reveals that the Nephilim have lived alongside sons of God “for hundreds of thousands of years.”
The account begins with Sumeria: “By 3,000 B.C. a high civilization was already in full bloom.... Sumerian medical schools trained brain surgeons.” Sumerians “calculated the planetary positions for every planet in our solar system including Pluto, which was not rediscovered in modern times until 1930. Unbelievably, they knew the Earth was tilted on its axis and had calculated its slow 25,920-year backward spin....Yet to this day scholars have no inkling who the Sumerians were, where they came from, or how and why this civilization [unexpectedly] appeared. Its appearance was so sudden that scholars have called it ‘astonishing,’ ‘extraordinary,’ ‘a flame which blazed up so suddenly.’ Sumerian civilization defied the laws of evolution.”
Moreover, Sumerian texts refer to “hundreds” of “gods of heaven and earth ... governed by an assembly of deities, all related to one another. They were powerful, capable of feats beyond mortal ability or comprehension.” Yet these gods looked and acted like humans. “Recent texts show this to be a divine family, closely related yet bitterly divided.” Jewish writings of the second temple period (536 B.C.-A.D. 70) saw in these texts “echoes of the ancient perditions of fallen angels.... The archives of the Great White Brotherhood that contain millions of years of spiritual/material evolution of solar systems and galaxies [disclose] that these fallen ones were a part of the original angelic and archangelic bands created even before the sons of God.”
Their leader, Lucifer, “an archangel of great stature, rebelled against the LORD God” and provoked the war in heaven “recorded in the Book of Revelation... : ‘And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon (... a collective name for a group of angels who followed Lucifer in his rebellion); and the dragon fought and his angels, / And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. / And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him’ (Rev. 12:7-9)....
“These rebels against God could no longer occupy the higher frequencies [of consciousness], and therefore they were cast down in a deceleration spiral into bodies of the ‘earth earthy’ (I Cor. 15:47), which we ourselves now occupy. Thus, the archangel and the third of angels that followed with him (Rev. 12:4), ... were cast down into the earth to move no more as angels and as gods but as ... mortal men confined to bodies of clay.... And the warning is written: ... ‘Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time’ (Rev. 12:12)....
“Ever since they were cast down into the earth, they’ve been trying to preserve their waning identity as gods. They are no longer gods, [unless] we elevate them as gods and enter into their idolatrous cult. They have been surrounding themselves with ... material trappings as a substitute for the spiritual kingdom they once knew.... And to do this, they’ve used their technology and earth’s natural resources, wherever they could find them, to fashion and sustain their kingdom—with mankind” and “the children of God as their slaves....
“Moses, who knew all about the Nephilim, gave an intense rebuke with the fierceness of the Holy Spirit to the children of Israel: ‘Ye are gods, and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men and fall like one of the princes.’ Moses was angry because the children of Israel wanted to pattern their lives after the idolatrous cult of these fallen ones.... He had rescued them out of their civilization in Egypt. He had brought them to a place where they could fulfill their divine destiny. Yet they hankered after this society of the Nephilim.” So he “reminded them that every one of them were gods—gods in the sense that the spark of life was in them and to realize its fullest potential would make them one with Almighty God himself.” Still, “Moses was saying, ‘If you are going to behave like [the Nephilim], you are going to die like them, and you’re going to fall like [these] princes.’”
The Nephilim had arrived on the Earth “at the time of Homo erectus. That is also the time when Sanat Kumara [the Ancient of Days] ... stood before the councils of Almighty God and his Sons and ... pleaded for another opportunity for [the] fallen ... children of God upon Earth to return to their Source. He volunteered to come to Earth,” with many other volunteers. Thus, Sanat Kumara “came leading sons of light” on “a rescue mission.” These sons of God knew “they would have to embody in dense bodies and work their way through a very dense evolution.” “After centuries and centuries of being embodied in this ... evolution and lifewave, some of these sons of God forgot their Source, their reason for being, and the purpose of their mission. And therefore, the Nephilim ... began to run the Earth and take over and to even cause the sons of God (whom ... they were created to serve) to be subservient to them. This masquerade has been ongoing, then, for tens and thousands of years.
“Today... the sons of God are waking up to their ancient memory [of their origin and history], to their realization of who is the Ancient of Days and to the specific purpose of why we are here on this rescue mission—to give back to the children of the light ... the threefold flame of their divine identity, which they lost because they left off from the adoration of God ... as the Almighty in his universe [and] ... as the light and the flame that beats [our] hearts.” (See Julian Morgenstern, “The Mythological Background of Psalm 82,” Hebrew College Annual 14 [1939]: 106, pp. 84-85; 106 n. 135. For further references to the Nephilim and their descendants see Gen. 6:4, Num. 13:22, 28; Deut. 1:28, 2:10, 11, 21, 3:11, 9:2; Josh. 11:21, 22, 14:12, 15:13, 14, 21:11; Judg. 1:20.)
3. The saying “Pride goeth before a fall” is adapted from Proverbs 16:18: “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” Elizabeth Clare Prophet, in The Great White Brotherhood in the Culture, History and Religion of America, teaches: “There is a story in the Apocrypha of the New Testament—religious writings that have been handed down from the early Christians but which have not become a part of our Bible—that God created [sons and daughters] in his image.... He sent forth Christed ones and he said to his angels: ‘Now I have formed man out of my own image, out of my own likeness. Therefore, this image is myself incarnate. Now, therefore, worship the image of God.’ [But] ... Lucifer... refused to worship the image of the Christ, the reflection of God across the vast cosmos.... The [prideful archangel] became jealous that the LORD God did not require that the creation worship him. We see the mark of the fall, then, as ambition, pride, egocentrism. And this mark of the fall, as it is spun into a veil, into a mist that surrounds the ego, becomes an intellectual rationale, a philosophy that is devoid of God in the center. It becomes a materialistic science that needs no God. It becomes intellectual reasoning. It becomes a self-sufficiency that says: ‘I don’t need God. I can do it better than God’” (240-41).
4. Lanello is referring to communing with God and the ascended masters through the ritual of writing letters. The letters are sealed, put in a basket in the sanctuary and consecrated at the altar. Later they are taken from the sanctuary and consigned to the physical fire to be taken by angels to their recipients.
