Now therefore you have the opportunity to change the course of your own life history before it becomes history. Do you understand?
Going forward into eternity, you look back upon yourself as you now are. You see the stretch of life before you. You see the options for victory. You see what pure striving really is! You see what the stretching of the wings can really be. You see the attainment that must be attained. And you realize that all of your strength and heart and love and mind and will must go into this final spurt to the finish line, where you come in not second or third but first—each and every one of you first, as champions of life!
Beloved hearts, I will not show you the alternative, trusting that you know it well. Infamy and ignominy are not twins that we would place before your gaze; neither is a choice unto the chela of God’s will. Inasmuch as you have already made your choice, I come only to instill you with a more perfect love and a more perfect vision of your own progress on the Path.
My angels gather and are gathering now your offering. Let it be an acceptable offering, an holy offering unto the LORD of that which has for far too long been hidden in thevfolds of your garments.
You there, O soul of light, Why do you resist me? Why do you doubt? Why do you fear?
I have stood where you stand. I have examined your lifestream. I know what you are in unreality and in Reality. I can only champion that which is Real. Do not look to me or to the messenger or to any other friends on the Path for a compliment of your human unreality—good or bad, kind or unkind.
Beloved heart, you know not the meaning of your own Reality. And this is the cause of all your distress and your distressing of heaven itself with the repetition of failure and the failure syndrome.
Let us not be as kindergarten children, dancing in a circle and singing nursery rhymes. I hope we are beyond that stage. I hope we realize that this is no longer the acceptable offering of the mature son of God before the Divine Mother.
Realize, then, that that which is acceptable to the child may no longer be acceptable to the man or the Manchild. Therefore, you cannot run down the ladder and say, “I will take my tests with the third-graders this day. And I will pass, and I will be at peace.” Instead, run up the ladder and see how it feels—more light, more attainment, and a grander and nobler purpose of bearing the sins of the whole world that they might continue to strive.
Beloved hearts, these offerings are labeled by your own blueprint, your own electronic vibration. Each one will be carefully read. Each one will be brought to the sacred fire and to my heart in Darjeeling. Thus, I trust we can move forward and make of each one a pillar of sacred fire, a greater point of emanation for the love of God’s will, which truly is always the intensification of sacred fire in the heart until the crystallized human substance is finally dissolved and that which is the pure love of God ascends to his holy hill, even to the holy mountain of the causal body.
Each point of perfecting perfect love for God’s will means that a nucleus of your own consciousness does ascend and become the magnet in your causal body by which one day you will be drawn into the ascension. And you will mount that ladder of life as surely as if you yourself had descended into the very bowels of the earth, for so it seems when you face the dweller-on-the-threshold and the final hours of your karma. And that magnet will be unto you the lodestone. It will be as though you held on to a rope that you had thrown into the very heart of the rock and there securely fastened. And by that rock and by that rope, you climb to the summit of being. Beloved hearts, think, then, of this Great Central Sun Magnet formed of molecules of perfect love for God’s will. Think of the rope that is secure by your devotion. Think of the rope that is made secure and fastened by the Guru itself, by the Word incarnate, by the very presence of the office. Think of the details that are necessary in the very hour of your victory. Truly the ladder that you climb is the ladder that you yourself have forged and won.
Let it be, then, that our chelas here and around the world and the many who call to me...let it be said that they do not allow themselves to be deceived into believing that the Holy Spirit is come unto them and infills them when, indeed, there yet remains the necessary exorcism of parts of life and consciousness that are not of the Holy Ghost.
The Holy Ghost may inundate you with light. You may feel vibration around you from our dictations and our decrees, even as you give your decrees in the great interchange of the spoken Word. Feeling that presence and that power is the first step on this path, this royal road of integration and assimilation of the Guru. To have the Holy Spirit throughly within being is to have the assimilation of the Word.
When the Holy Spirit is upon the surface, it often uncovers and brings to the surface demons of possession. And therefore one can perceive the Holy Spirit surrounding well-meaning pastors even though they yet have within them the possession of discarnate entities. Understand the juxtaposition of these two forces, and realize that when the Holy Spirit, as a cloud, surrounds an individual, often those who witness must have that Christ-discrimination to realize that God is always pure, that his purity flushes out the darkness and that, therefore, the Holy Spirit upon individuals is a most individual manifestation. It is evolutionary until that assimilation of which I speak is fulfilled.
Thus, souls evolve even as they assimilate the Holy Ghost. And as the Holy Spirit first begins to move upon the waters of the desire body and upon the mind, the individual begins to give forth a new vibration. Little by little that Holy Ghost can be seen and heard.
But the fullness of the Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood is another manifestation entirely. It is, truly, the assimilation of the body and blood of Christ until there is only Christ and no other where you stand. For in the assimilation of the Word is the parallel process of the dissolution of the anti-Word—the human ego and its human momentums.
Assimilation means dissolution. If you have argument with dissolution, if you do not contain the pure desire for that sugar cube of the lesser self to be dissolved, then, you see, you will also be at odds with assimilation and with the Holy Spirit. And therefore you will be among all men most miserable, among all women most disconcerting to your mentors and to the hierarchy of light.
We cannot be tied to the yo-yo of the chela’s consciousness who wants light, wants the assimilation of healing, comfort, joy, wisdom, and all sorts of talents and powers, and yet who does not desire—with the fervent desire of the very soul itself—self-dissolution.
It is the principle of the extinguishing of the candle of the lesser self. It is the intense desire to be God and the corresponding desire not to be. Therefore the riddle “to be or not to be” becomes most clear: to be God and not to be the human self.
Thus the decision must be made in both directions. But, you see, some men have switched them. And instead of desiring to be God, they have desired to be the human ego. Instead of desiring not to be the human ego, they have desired not to be God. The relics of these individuals still stalk the canyons of the cities of the earth as the living dead. For in the reversal of roles, you see, they have come entirely to naught. They have become the living dead. And they themselves are hollow in the hollow cities of the Cain civilizations of the earth....
With the fervor of the will of God I address you. With the tenderness of my heart, I enfold you. We now withdraw the fiery cloud of our presence into the nucleus of our heart that you might have the co-measurement once again of your own thoughts and feelings, your own deliberations and determinations to be or not to be this day caught up in wings of light, mounting that holy will unto the stars.
By contrast you can easily perceive what are the momentums that, if sustained in this hour, will prevent you from your victory in the future. How light it is to be without them! And now that they are upon you again, remember that you need not become Hercules to overcome these momentums. You need only whisper to me in the still small voice of your heart:
Morya, I desire—
With the deepest desiring of my soul—
To be free this day
From all within me
That assails your holy purpose.
When you come to the hour when this prayer is given without the dividing in your members, without a pulling in this direction and that, when you are truly sincere and determined and willing to pay the price, whatever it may be, for that point of surrender, you will find that in the twinkling of my own eye, that substance can come under submission to your God Self and never raise its head again! And as the days and months proceed, you will, section by section, dissolve that beast.
You can visualize your Christ Self in the person of the roaring lion, the king of the beasts. And this mighty lion, seated in perfect poise, holds a single right paw over that beast. The beast cannot move. The lion, then, holds down the beast until you—as chela, as soul—assimilate it into the great God flame.
This is the very feast of Almighty God. It is the great supper whereby all of the beasts of human creation are devoured in the flame and are no more. Thus, the roaring lion of the Great Guru himself and the Ever-Present Guru is ever present now, holding that right paw on the beast of the nonentity.
Go about your business, chelas of God’s will. Put on the mantle of a new heart and mind. It is not necessary to be human any longer. You are not the ‘hewn man’. You are made in the image and likeness of God.1
Cease your strutting about to be good humans doing good works, always busying yourself to reinforce your self-image as a good human being. Cease all of this. Become zero that God may become the 100 percent of being where you are.
And if you do not understand my word, little one, then ask your teachers to explain it. For I am determined that from the least unto the greatest and the newest to the oldest chelas, my message shall be understood. You may begin, therefore, by assimilation of my word in preparation for the assimilation of my Person.
This is why the Word incarnates. This is why the Word gives forth the message—because the Almighty understands that you are not ready to be assimilated by the Word or to assimilate it. But you are ready for the morsel. You are ready for the holy bread. You are ready for our Communion.
You can assimilate that which we speak in any given day. And our holy bread given on each Sabbath is for the seven days which follow—for the nourishment, yes, but much more importantly for the assimilation, not merely to enjoy the meat that I bring that fills the belly and warms the innards. Nay, it is for the becoming of that Word itself and ultimately to become the cause behind the effect that you hear as the spoken Word.
Let us rejoice that the LORD hath made this day, this acceptable day for his appearance unto you in a more intense form of the sacred blue will—the blue will of my sword, my ray and my heart. See how it is tinged with such an intense and piercing pink fire as to become the ruby ray itself.
I am always in the white-fire core of the Mother’s heart. Come and find me there.
