Vol. 49 No. 11 - Beloved Lanello - March 12, 2006
Excelsior!
In Joyous Acclamation of the
Descending Christed One
Part 2
I AM Lanello. I survey the world north and south and east and west! I will not tell you a tale that is twice told! No, I will not tell you the tale that is old—of human creation here and there and of the sirens and the warnings of the fallen ones—but I will tell you of the miracle of Saint Germain! I will tell you the miracle of Mary and of Jesus! I will tell you the miracle of your incarnation, for the sacred fire descends. It intensifies. It bears you up on wings of the morning.
I come to push you higher, to give you that God determination for which you call. And let the call to me, Lanello, be Excelsior!1 For I am in that banner of Lord Maitreya and of the World Mother, and I am in the lotus of the Buddha and look upon that Lord of the World, for I am the chela of the Buddha! I AM the Buddha of the light! I AM the Buddha of the night! I stand in Spirit and in Matter. I AM the oscillation of the light and never the vacillation.
And therefore in imitation of my path, see that you do not vacillate but understand that Alpha to Omega, light ascending, light descending, light ascending, light descending in you is ever the coming and the going of the soul who will not be static or in the status quo, but who will rise higher and higher and then return as the dove that takes flight unto the morning, unto the sun.
The snowy white dove of the Holy Spirit will come, and you will be not set in the rigormortis of death, but rather in the light of immortality as you move in the rhythm of Shiva! Shiva! Shiva! And as I utter the cry of Shiva,2 I direct my voice unto the heart of humanity, unto the heart of the chelas in the earth and unto the heart of the ascended masters. And lo, by the direction of my cry, I send the call unto the mighty threefold flame. I send the call to love. And love does answer. Shiva! Shiva! Shiva! Shiva!
So I call that light, for I know that that light will set aright each flaw that would penetrate as tiny splinter within the heart that would be pure. O blessed heart, would you be pure. Perhaps you do not know the flaw within the jewel that Saint Germain, by miracle upon miracle, will remove even as he did as the Wonderman of Europe3 to those ungrateful ones who still, to this hour, have not taken the hint or the wink of the Knight Commander Saint Germain.
And therefore, they are yet on the brink of their own self-destruction, having never entered by the door of the purple fiery heart. They stood awed by phenomena and yet never ever considering the grand phenomenon of the mighty ascension path of the individual soul, one at last with a goal that is worthy of a soul of life.
And so here you are. Perhaps you have not been a star as the mighty stars that are positioned as the personalities of the earth, that fall from the heavens4 in the hour of the judg ment; but you have been the twinkle in a Mother’s eye. You have been that ancient light of Ernon, who was Rai of Suern,5 and he did bring a light from distant worlds, a light of energy, of evolutions beyond your own.
I speak not of a superman from a far-off planet of Krypton. Nay, I speak of ascended masters and their chelas who bow unto the will of God and who will not defy that God or that law but stand in humble humility of the lifewaves and evolutions of systems of worlds, of the orderly progression of their path of karma. Remember this, O beloved ones, if you could look into the spaceships that move beyond the galaxies you would see the supermen who exist outside of God, who have manipulated every creative force and light and then who wield energies of physical matter.
Beloved ones, we say very simply—so what? What is the state of the soul? What is the state of the evolution? In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, all of that passes as a fly into the flame.
O beloved ones, not all of these, all of these, all of these accomplishments—but the one thing, the one thing needed is charity in humility, in obedience unto the Lord Christ. And if you have charity, that is a gift without price. That charity opens the door to preparedness and carefulness and sensitivity to every part of life.
Why do I hasten the crucifixion of my beloved? That she might bear you in her arms for your own crucifixion that is coming just over the hill, even as the Lord Christ does come just over the hill. I have set my seal upon your path of initiation. I will walk with you because Mother will walk with you and because you have the embodied guru and the Ever-Present Guru. You see, you are protected by that mighty sphere and another sphere, the figure eight of our twin flames.6
Now [Archangel] Uzziel does appear for that very special initiation of the alchemical union. And so, beloved ones, take an opportunity that does not come often in the cycles of the galaxies to go beyond all of the manifestations of the powers of this world and of a wisdom of God misused within this world and the love that has known not the reality of that perfect love. Beloved ones, I speak of the great perversions of the threefold flame among those who have seized power in this and other systems.
Blessed ones, be not dismayed, be not disturbed, for they know it not but their course is one that is the filing of the drone ants in single file as they themselves, without Shiva’s dance, go into the court of the sacred fire. They know not where they go. They look neither to the right nor to the left nor up into his face. They see only the ant that is ahead, and therefore they follow a mechanization, a manipulation while thinking that they have omnipotence; they have naught but a temporary use of light that is become an abuse of right. Let them go on their way.
What is that to thee? Follow thou me.7 I AM one footstep ahead in the game of hopscotch. I am one jump, a cosmic jump, a leap into the arms of God. Are you practicing each day for the final game and the final leap? Well, beloved ones, you need not consider the final leap, for each and every day has its reach that must exceed its grasp.

Excelsior
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The shades of night were falling fast,
As through an Alpine village passed
A youth, who bore, ’mid snow and ice,
A banner with the strange device,
Excelsior!
His brow was sad; his eye beneath
Flashed like a falchion from its sheath,
And like a silver clarion rung
The accents of that unknown tongue,
Excelsior!
In happy homes he saw the light
Of household fires gleam warm and bright;
Above, the spectral glaciers shone,
And from his lips escaped a groan,
Excelsior!
“Try not the Pass!” the old man said:
“Dark lowers the tempest overhead,
The roaring torrent is deep and wide!”
And loud that clarion voice replied,
Excelsior!
“Oh stay,” the maiden said, “and rest
Thy weary head upon this breast!”
A tear stood in his bright blue eye,
But still he answered, with a sigh,
Excelsior!
“Beware the pine-tree’s withered branch!
Beware the awful avalanche!”
This was the peasant’s last Good-night,
A voice replied, far up the height,
Excelsior!
At break of day, as heavenward
The pious monks of Saint Bernard
Uttered the oft-repeated prayer,
A voice cried through the startled air,
Excelsior!
A traveller, by the faithful hound,
Half-buried in the snow was found,
Still grasping in his hand of ice
That banner with the strange device,
Excelsior!
There in the twilight cold and gray,
Lifeless, but beautiful, he lay,
And from the sky, serene and far,
A voice fell, like a falling star,
Excelsior!
“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 Sunday, December 24, 1978, during the Christmas Eve service held at Camelot, Los Angeles County, California.
1. The ascended master Lanello was incarnated as the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) and Mark L. Prophet (1918-1973), messenger of the Great White Brotherhood. As Longfellow, he wrote the poem “Excelsior” (see p. 87). The messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet has described the poem as speaking of the path of the Buddha and the Christ, not by those names, but by what is taking place. It speaks of a youth who climbs up high into the Alps, beyond all human karma, human creation, leaving aside human good, human evil, the path of the left, the path of the right and abandoning that which is sweet as well as that which is bitter, press ing on for the fulfillment of the mission. It is the story of the soul that would make the path of the ascension. She said, “I felt that Mark had embodied this; in the final year and final hours of his service, he was this youth.... always choosing the path of excellence, keeping another foot and another step ahead of us so that there will be a way for us to climb when our moment comes...”
2. In Pearls of Wisdom, vol. 21, no. 47, Shiva instructed: “Now, beloved ones, I ask you, be a scientist of the new age and try this one experiment for the next forty-eight hours: Each time you face that momentum—that memory, that consciousness, that habit or that desire, whatever it is that you long to see put into the flame—each time it crosses the line of the mind, the desire body, or your big toe, each time it comes into the memory, speak into it with the full ferocity of your voice, ‘Shiva! Shiva! Shiva! Shiva!’.... When you say ‘Shiva!’ you should be hurling fire into the midst of darkness, and the more you practice the more you will see how the great sacred fire breath will rise from unknown depths of being and give that very punch into the world that will shatter unreality. And then you will learn some of the mysteries of Shiva, the secrets of our abode. And one day you will find that when you hurl the energy of Shiva, you yourself will be the white-fire sphere that God hurls into the midst of darkness, and you will discover what it is to be that moving sacred fire, and you will see the swiftness of the light, and you will wonder whether you then are Shiva or the instrument of the sphere that now takes flight, and you will find the energy of the Spirit is power, principle, person and is the omnipotence of God.” Shiva is really the answer, and you’ve got to be fearless in using that word. It has a special vibration. When you say Shiva, the pink fire of the threefold flame of every ascended and cosmic being and every unascended chela responds, and it’s like a cosmic karate chop. It separates light and darkness. For a profile of Shiva, see The Masters and Their Retreats, Mark L. Prophet and Elizabeth Clare Prophet, pp. 341-45.
3. The ascended master Saint Germain appeared as “le Comte de Saint Germain,” a “miraculous” gentleman who dazzled the courts of eighteenth-and nineteenth-century Europe, where they called him “The Wonderman.” He was known for such feats as removing the flaws in diamonds and other precious stones. See The Masters and Their Retreats, pp. 319-20.
4. On February 27, 1983, the Great Divine Director spoke of the stars that fall from heaven: “Now you may behold the wonder in heaven as the stars fall from their habitations, and as these fallen angels are removed from their citadels of power, no longer shining in the firmament of world consciousness. And you will also see that as some descend, so the real sons of God will ascend and come to the fore of life.”
5. Ernon, Rai of Suern, was embodied 13,000 years ago at the time of Atlantis. His story is told in the book A Dweller on Two Planets by Phylos the Tibetan, published in 1899. Rai is Atlantean for “emperor” or “monarch.” The land of Suern encompassed present-day India and part of Arabia. For his profile, see The Masters and Their Retreats, pp. 95-97.
6. Lanello is the twin flame of the embodied messenger, Elizabeth Clare Prophet. In Pearls of Wisdom, vol. 29, no. 14, the ascended master Jesus Christ spoke of the figure eight of twin flames: “And this is the goal of all twin flames, as by the figure-eight flow there is indeed the cosmic interchange, and the Alpha and the Omega in alternating cycles realize and define this path of Motherhood and Buddhahood, giving birth always to the universality of Christ in the plus and in the minus manifestations of the sons and daughters of God. For teaching on twin flames and soul mates, see Soul Mates and Twin Flames: The Spiritual Dimension of Love and Relationships, Elizabeth Clare Prophet.
