Hail, legions of light!
I salute seraphim of Justinius’ bands. I AM Serapis. I am come to claim you for ascension’s flame. I am here in the blazing glory of that light of our retreat that you will one day enter.
The supreme light waits. The light is the inner calling of the soul. The light is the flame that burns on. The ascension flame waits. And it has waited for you, my beloved, for many aeons.
And so you have come to this outer retreat to learn the first footsteps of the Path and to accelerate light. I desire that this contact with our flame should be the open door for you to make that God-determination which will catapult your soul night after night to the temple of Luxor, to the ascension retreat.1 For we desire to place in the earth body, concealed within the garment of souls who yet walk the physical earth, an extraordinary light of ascension’s flame.
You have heard that the pyramid is built in the very center of the earth, the land mass thereof. This was our design that the Mother flame might rise again upon the landed surface of the earth in this era. The white light of the Mother must rise out of Egypt. And that which was death must become eternal life. And all of those evolutions and crosscurrents of lifewaves that meet at that point must ultimately submit to the Mother flame.
There are challenges that we face—we the Brotherhood of Luxor—as we look to place increments of light as a tiny white cube, an electrode of ascension’s flame, within your forcefield.
First, we must reckon with the balance of light of your own karma, and we must predetermine what will be the response of your being to this accelerated fohat*—a new experience indeed to be a walking electrode of ascension’s flame.
Therefore, you have heard of the fourteen-month cycle2 of walking the fourteen stations of the cross3 with ascension’s fire. Now in the seventh dispensation of that activity of light, you learn the path of the heart under the hierarchy of Leo. And therefore, in the heart, we come midpoint in the seventh cycle of these stations, the stations of the cross. Each walking of them is intended to give to you an accelerated opportunity to carry a portion of planetary karma and to balance it.
Our son Jesus Christ set the example for the holding of the balance of the light of the Trinity in Mater. The age of Aquarius is rightly the age of the Woman and her seed walking those stations, carrying the Mother light. The Aquarian water-bearer carries the golden-liquid light— the elixir of sacred fire. The bearer of the cup is the lightbearer, the Aquarian. And therefore, the line of Aquarius in Leo marks the sign of the soul that becomes endued with the light of the heart by self-discipline in the principles of the Mother flame. Hence, we begin at Luxor and with a flame in the heart of the pyramid.
Now that you have for many a year sustained the violet flame and made those mighty invocations to the Elohim Astrea4, now that you have cleared a certain level of being—saturating the heart with light—we desire to open the way for the rising, pulsating Mother flame to be within you a fervent force of acceleration unto all the earth. This acceleration is to be the resurrection of all of the seed of Christ unto the eternal resurrection, of the resurrection of them that sleepand of those who are dead until they are quickened, and the resurrection of the seed of the wicked that their works which are not of the light may be flushed out, brought to the fore, and they and the children of light may look upon those works and choose the pathway of truth.
Therefore, when the Mother flame rises from the depths of Lemuria, from the Great Pyramid, from your own citadel of light within your temple, you may anticipate that all that remains in each man’s portion of the 100 percent of the allotment of the increment of light—all that remains that is not balanced—will also come to the surface. The Mother light brings to the surface all that is within consciousness.
We, then, are certain that our methods and our training are such that no one will be given the increment of light in whom that light will cause a disturbance that the individual will not be able to deal with.
We know the power of the Mother light. We know the Mother light intimately. We know that earnest initiates of the flame are those who will come to Luxor and deal realistically with the light of God and with the portion of that light that yet requires balance. If you are told to go back and accel erate your service and your invocation to the violet flame, be encouraged and be of good cheer. For you are being guided by adepts, ascended masters and some who might be ascended masters but are not by free choice, for they have chosen to remain as unascended adepts balancing almost 100 percent of their karma and holding that forcefield in Matter so that they might be present to train you in the requirements of the Law for the holding of the ascension flame.
We must also consider what the planet will bear, what its evolution will bear, when the light begins to increase. Verily, I say to you, the coming of the golden age depends upon the few willing to carry the light and to understand that the light will always bring joy. And it will always bring out that which is the anti-joy momentum of the earth, which must be transmuted before it colors the crystal clear stream of life flowing through the desire body.
I speak of your feeling world. How quickly and easily the feeling world becomes depressed or excited or enangered. How easily emotions become a tempest in a teapot. And suddenly, the sea begins to roar. This illustrates that the individual yet identifies with mass human emotions and with emotions that come upon the rock of his being, as it were, beating upon the rock of the lighthouse that is your mighty I AM Presence. I say, be not moved by these conditions. The measure of your God-mastery must be your ability to hold the flame when all assails you, when riptides of human emotion, condemnation or persecution or outright lies assail you or this activity of light.
There is a calm center within the heart. And there is a center within the secret chamber of the heart. And there is a center within the solar-plexus chakra whereby you can maintain peace by the sacred fire breath and not follow the turbulence of the world’s turmoil.
We, then, watch for those who do not allow the ego to be carried away in being offended or disturbed by any word, any accusation or any injustice whatsoever. God in you is justified. And wisdom is justified of her children. And there is no need to go and attempt to solve any problem by emotional substance. Remember my word well. For we come to tell you of those points of the Law that are found wanting and that must be met if you indeed are to accelerate on the Path.
I have received many of you at Luxor. And you have sat in our retreat and contemplated how the energies of the earth body and how the transmittal of mass consciousness emotions is transferred to your own temple. And I have shown you, in diagrams and the most precise explanations, of the challenges that you would face on the very next day after your coming to our retreat. And some of you have gone forth and met very serious building-up of energy forcefields with a calmness and a poise that would equal that of an adept of our retreat.
But others of you have not carried to the physical octave the soul knowledge, and often it is a point of pride. And that pride that goeth before the fall5 goeth before the fall of the feeling world as it descends to a point of inharmony because of someone’s offense or someone’s unkind word or criticism. And the sharp sting, as it stings not the Christ but the ego, then becomes a lashing back, and suddenly you know that you have lost that equipoise, that center—that place where the line of the pyramid is drawn in the very center of the earth itself.
Understand, then, that these are the testings which are repeated day after day after day until nothing—no thing in this world—is capable of moving you from the firm attention and joy and love upon your God Self. And what is the formula for this mastery? It is this, quite simply—that you love God and your oneness with him more than you love yourself and its pseudo defenses in emotional tirades, outbursts or mood energies; loving God and loving to be in his presence, waiting upon the LORD for the next initiation on the Path.
Watch, then. Is there someone in your life, someone who is capable of disturbing you? I say, praise that one. It is the guru in disguise. You will not be rid of that one until you learn to give the fiat of the living Christ: “Peace, be still and know that I AM God.”6 That fiat is not spoken to the individual but to your own four lower bodies.
Therefore, see how karma and its circumstance evokes the person from whom you learn the most—the one through whom you must conquer or be conquered. Harmony is the key. And when you can guard the harmony in the face of aggravation, irritation, even lies and calumny, then you will be ready for this acceleration of ascension’s flame that must be carried into all the earth if this earth is to accelerate and begin a spin that throws off the greatest darkness and the remaining evil forcefields of those fallen ones.
Acceleration is the key to the judgment. You have asked, “Why does the judgment not come upon those who have sworn their anti-God consciousness to be their life and to unseat the little ones? Why has the judgment not come upon them?” It is ever so simple. Not enough lifestreams hold the equivalent of light to counterbalance the darkness that must be removed. Darkness is a heavy weight and a forcefield. Light, then, must replace every erg of darkness that is removed from the earth. If we are to remove the strongholds of the wicked and the seed of the wicked themselves, then we must have forcefields of light and sons of light instantly ready to fill the vacuum. For when you remove a large cancer such as a beast or a dragon from the astral plane, instantaneously you have an open space. And it must be filled with the Holy Spirit, else a multiplication of greater darkness will occur by the remaining elements of the fallen ones who will multiply to occupy that given space.
This law may not be entirely understood by you or understandable, but I tell you truly, it is a law. And if you would clean out the Augean stables with Mighty Hercules,7 you must, then, be ready to fill them with light. For nature abhors a vacuum. And we will not allow the further proliferation of darkness. Therefore, let light increase.
I invoke the being Maximus. And Maximus comes forth out of the octaves of light with legions of light. For he has been called by Alpha and Omega to speak to you this evening.8 And therefore, I announce to you his coming that you might prepare this evening to be in the presence of one who is given the calling and the office in cosmos to maximize good, to multiply the light of Alpha and Omega within you.
His is the outpicturing of the mathematical formula of the Great Pyramid. And when I meditated upon the form of that pyramid within the heart of God, I found it in the Great Causal Body of the being known to you as Maximus. To maximize the light of the Mother within us is the meaning and the calling of his name.
Soldiers of the light, enlightened ones, you who would be illumined on the path of the ascension, you who desire the ascension in the desire to give love and freedom to all life, I AM Serapis. I have come because you are ready for an increment of ascension’s flame. I have come because the Seven Holy Kumaras and the Goddess of Purity have determined to fill this city with light and to increase that light that will flush out darkness and will also accelerate the path of initiation. San Francisco, here I come!
I AM Serapis. I will not leave you as I have found you. All hail, children of the light! All hail, Justinius! We are one in the God-determination to implant ascension’s flame here and now within this earth and within the brow of our chelas of the flame.
All hail, we are one.
Amen.

This dictation by Serapis Bey 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 in San Francisco, California.

3. In announcing the fourteen-month cycle of initiation, Serapis said, “The goal of these fourteen months is the passing through of your lifestream on the fourteen stations of the cross of the Woman and her seed....” The fourteen stations of the cross are fourteen events in the last hours of Jesus’ life, from the time of his judgment and trial to when he was laid in the sepulchre. They represent his mastery and sacrifice on behalf of mankind.This Piscean cross is given to us for the balancing of karma and for the preparation of the initiation of the crucifixion on the cosmic cross of white fire. Answering the call of the ascended masters El Morya and Jesus, the messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet and chelas began walking the fourteen stations of the Aquarian cross on June 27, 1972, seven years prior to this dictation. The fourteen stations of the Aquarian cross is a path of initiation that we walk today with the Divine Mother charted on the cosmic clock. A new cycle of that walk begins each year on June 27. At the time of this dictation, we were walking the seventh station of the cross—The Woman and her seed fall the second time. Charted on the cosmic clock, the seventh station is the seven o’clock line under the hierarchy of Leo. For teaching on the cosmic clock, see Predict Your Future: Understand the Cycles of the Cosmic Clock, Elizabeth Clare Prophet.

7. The fifth labor of Hercules was to clean the Augean stables in a single day. Augeas had thousands of cattle and their stalls had not been cleared out for years. Hercules diverted the courses of two rivers and made them flow through the stables in a great flood that washed out the filth in no time at all.
