Vol. 48 No. 49 - Beloved Maximus - November 27, 2005
I AM Maximus, I Maximize Light
Ascend the ladder of light with me, my children. I come to take you by the hand and to show you a vision of the Promised Land. A ladder of light my angels have let down. And all of you I take by the hand and we climb together. I show you a perspective of life. Let us ascend these steps together as a dress rehearsal for your own life waiting to be lived—oh, waiting to be lived as surely as you wait for the crystal cup to be given.
Therefore, come, and have a look, a peek at the place where angels look and peek-a-boo with each other and one another, and find together that life from loftier heights gains newness of perspective. Come, then, we mount. We mount the stairs and do begin to see earth recede as you mount to the stars.
And you look upon life below as though it were a lilliputian* world and a portion of yourself is vested in that life. And when you become centered in that life, all things loom large, even gnats and flies and little petty problems. But in the perspective of the vast teeming millions of stars and sun centers and all of the places we have been together, you can easily see with me that the segment of time and space that you occupy and call your life is but an inch in a cosmic inch of measurement. And therefore, you say, “Can I not give an inch to God for all the inches that I have taken for myself?”
What seems to be the intense struggle to overcome is but episode upon episode of a preordained drama of the path of initiation. Your soul has known from the beginning the great turmoil that would be in the beginning of this age. Your soul has known that this is the age of your ascension.
I AM Maximus. I sound the sound of the inner memory and the sound of the great cathedral and the sounding of the bell that is rung by Jesus Christ, the sounding of the sound that initiates the spiral whereby you will surely mount this ladder. And when you mount it on your own, you’ll find your footsteps not so lightly, easily mounting as we do together this night. For I take you over a thousand rungs of this ladder so easily—as easily as the angels ascending and descending.
And from your vantage point, you see with me other stars and evolutions and shining worlds and hierarchies of light and brothers and sisters you have known. Behold the vastness of space and the immensity of light positioned within space. Behold above you the legions of light, all of whom have their attention upon all that is taking place within the earth, within your life, within your community and on the Path.
You see millions of mankind untethered to any light at all. You see a great multitude arising out from among them with a certain self-awareness. You see the saints leading the multitude to the Great Pyramid.1 And you see the Two Witnesses2 witnessing unto the vastness of the Solar-El.3
I AM that El. I have come to tell you of the great sign of the cross that marks the telling of the El. Sanat Kumara bids you, “Go, tell them. Go be with Gautama what I AM THAT I AM.” And the Witness writes the poem “Tell Them.”4
And you are bidden to descend the ladder and to tell the saints and to tell the multitude of a light from far-off worlds. When you see the vast spiral of a golden ratio, burning— burning its way through a cosmos—and you see lifestreams unending, themselves forming the ladder that becomes the chain of hierarchy; all of a sudden, the All-Seeing Eye zeros in on the point on the ladder that you occupy. You have been positioned there by Sanat Kumara.
With angels attending, you hold the flame for a level of initiation. Sometimes you think that life is humdrum or you are bored with sameness. But in actuality, you ensoul a light for all who are on the same wavelength of your consciousness. And were you to vacate your position, there would be a vacuum easily seized by fallen ones whose strategy is to unseat the lightbearers from their niche in the ladder of life and then to take those positions and from them to unseat others.
For life is not a single ladder but many ladders crocheted by the Cosmic Virgin. And you climb the ladders of her crocheting, and you form a vast antahkarana that drapes a cosmos like a golden net that is cast into a golden sea. And the niches of light—the knots that are tied—are the points of light that you carry. And by the holding of the net, it is a strong net. And the Lord of life casts down that net to draw in the great multitude of fishes who will see in the sign of Pisces the twin arcs that form the mounting caduceus—a caduceus fashioned of lives victorious in the ascension flame.
How beautiful it is to be in the temple beautiful of the universe, to sense one’s self a unique cell in the body of God. How beautiful it is to be one in the universal flame. How beautiful it is to breathe the breath of life. And he who said, “Occupy till I come,”5 has assigned to you, each one, a situation beautiful to be magnified.
Now, then, look at the reflection of this golden net. Look at the sea of lives in the earth. Look at the multitudes who are the sheep gone astray and see how the wolves have come to unseat them and to occupy their positions. Beloved ones, there are millions of positions in the great net and network of life that have been abandoned by the sheep who have followed the pied pipers of this age.
O my beloved, the result is many holes in the net of life. And the children of the light do not know how to uphold the standard—the inner blueprint of the net. And therefore, much is gone awry. Much is out of the way of the inner blueprint. And you breathe a sigh as you look from exalted heights with angel bands and you see the gaping holes. And when that net is cast for the harvest of souls, many will pass through, for there are all too few who have taken up the light.
Yet the standard was so strong that he brought. And the ascended masters have set a flaming proof of the Word by example. Have you not heard how often the messengers have wondered how so many, many could be led astray when the truth has been so plain these thousands of years.
But suddenly, the loud ones, the proud ones are all that is heard in the land. Their voices are amplified and multiplied. But I, Maximus, withdraw the power they have taken to multiply and amplify their cacophony** that has naught to do with the soundless sound and the intensity of the Word. No longer will they be heard, for they have abused the power to multiply the Word. Watch and see.
You think that the monolith of power that they have built cannot come tumbling down in a day. I say to you, the LORD God Almighty has not done it for the very reason that Serapis Bey gave to you—for want of souls to take the place in this race of life, for want of souls who know the name I AM.
But coming to the fore are many angel bands and souls of great worth. And therefore we have deemed that some of that which has been misused may be taken down. For I AM Maximus. And I have descended from the Great Central Sun to come to be among those who have determined to invoke the Word, who have seen through the Mother’s eye the great injustice that has been wrought against the children of God.
I have waited long for your call and for your call to reach such a resurgence, a resurrection, a spiral, a spire. For Alpha and Omega promised me aeons ago in the very hour of the Great Rebellion that when certain sons and daughters of light should so accelerate and so expose that rebellion, when certain bands of saints should commune and sound the Word, and when that Word should be heard in far-off worlds, and when the power and the thrust of that Word should reach a certain intensity; then I would be sent to follow the sound back to the source and there to undo the misuse they have made of the light of Maximus. Therefore, I come. It is yet a limited dispensation.
I show you from the very top of the ladder how I drop a sound. Did you ever think of dropping a sound to the earth and then hearing the reverberation of the sound—a sound that none can hear save the Elohim and the elementals in the thicket and the tiny cricket. Elemental life respond to the sound of the Word while humans do not hear. Their senses are dulled, but the inner sound does sound.
Now with me, watch the earth and its body. Watch for the quivering of the aura of the earth as I drop the sound of the tone of Alpha and Omega.
Ommmmmm
Did you see the quivering of the aura of the earth? [whispered] I sound the sound again. Watch and see by the eye of the Great Silent Watchers.
Eummmmmm
The sound descends. It is a rippling of light. It will accomplish its work.
Now, my beloved, we descend together, for we must be in the earth to catch the reverberation of the sound. It is the sound of love. I smile because I know what is the ultimate ending and beginning of the sound. I know how it will resound in hearts and strike a chord of love. I know, for I am Maximus, and I have been Maximus for a long, long time and space and for a wide, wide eternity. I know, for I have sounded the sound of the Word in other systems of worlds. By the Word, the worlds were framed. By the Word, the worlds are unframed.
By the Word and only the Word is the Luciferian creation no more. They know me even as they know you. They have succeeded in postponing the sounding of the sound by casting out their nets—dark nets. They do their fishing at night while children sleep,6 and they catch the souls and draw them through the astral plane, programming souls asleep to their own net gain.
But it is no more, for with the awakening of the Buddha Gautama, with the awakening of the light of the Cosmic Christ, with the point of contact in the hearts of the few, the cycles roll and the appointed hour is struck. Hear the striking of the bell of the cosmic clock.7 Understand the timing and the spacing of light.
The self-assurance of God is in the rhythm of the wave, and the cosmic wave is indeed oncoming. It breaks upon the shore of life. And all things are in a state of change. It is the hour of victory and we are at peace. We transfer that peace unto you—peace that is the certain knowing that our God is in the earth in the flame of Sanat Kumara.
The eye of peace is the point of release of the sound. I have sounded two words, syllables of light. The sound will never end. And it will take a million years for that sound to fulfill its cosmic purpose. Immediate effects are noted in the planetary homes. But life is vast, and many evolutions will come and pass through and ascend by the sounding of that tone. You have heard an outer sound, but the inner sound is the sound behind the sound.
I AM Maximus. I maximize light. Now I come by dispensation only. My gift to you—access to my name to multiply the judgment of love, to multiply the resurrection, to multiply the preaching of the Word—these three. Use my name and you will understand the cosmic multiplication of the geometry of the Word. And when this sound has reached again Alpha and Omega by the golden ratio of light, then I will come to tell you of the dispensation which may follow upon the foundation that you will have laid.
I enter the sphere of light. It is tiny by your sight. In cosmos, it is infinite. Within the sphere that I AM, I disappear to earth’s evolutions, but I am always here in the sphere of light in the heart of Mother.
*lilliputian: small, miniature, trivial.
**cacophony: harsh or discordant mixture of sounds

This dictation by Maximus was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Saturday, August 11, 1979, during the three-day Retreat on the Ascension, held at the Scottish Rite Memorial Temple in San Francisco, California.
1. During this retreat, the messenger lectured on the ascended master Serapis Bey and the Great Pyramid. She said, “Serapis Bey was the architect of the Great Pyramid. We do not know when it was built, but we know that he was its architect. This is a tremendous point of contact with his heart flame. You who have an appreciation of what that pyramid is, the precision of it—scientists have said no man could build the pyramid, but only God.... There were those who walked the earth who not only had the adeptship but were the living incarnation of the Word to such precision that they knew the science of levitation and the literal transfer of the laws of perfection into stone, stone upon stone, made to the precision of one-thousandth of an inch; stones so heavy they could not be moved by current standards; stones too perfectly wrought that no craftsman today could imitate them. Obviously these individuals who were responsible for that pyramid had a superior attunement with the God flame and knew the science of its use in matter. They determined to leave in stone the mystery of your self.”
2. Rev. 11: 3-13.
3. The ascended master Serapis Bey writes of the Solar-El in his Dossier on the Ascension: “The real meaning of the soul is ‘Solar-El,’ which references the latent power of the divine angel within man. (I do not expect that all of my words will be interpreted correctly nor that they will be understood by all, but I must state the law in order that those who have been initiated to a level of comprehension suitable for the revelation inherent within this mystery may then comprehend it.) The Solar-El is the infinite idea of God projected by the divine light through the so-called seven densities of creation, including the angelic realm and evolving within man as the evolution of divine energy intended in the beginning.” See The Dossier on the Ascension: The Story of the Soul’s Acceleration into Higher Consciousness on the Path of Initiation, recorded by Mark L. Prophet, p. 6.
4. The messenger Mark L. Prophet wrote the poem “Tell Them.” See Memories of Mark: My Life with Mark Prophet, Annice Booth, pp. 105-8.
5. Luke 19:13.
6. Students of the ascended masters are encouraged before going to sleep to ask to be taken by the angels directly to the spiritual retreats. For a prayer, see The Masters and Their Retreats by Mark L. Prophet and Elizabeth Clare Prophet, p. 414.
