Love One Another as I Have Loved You
Forgive as You Would Be Forgiven
Part 2
The Mother of the Flame has noticed that test that came to two members of the organization who were asked to show their judgment of whether to forgive or not to forgive another member of the organization. These two individuals came to a place of initiation where they had to be initiated under the Great Divine Director. And therefore with all determination, rebellion and self-will, they staunchly said, “We will not forgive. He ought not to be forgiven.”
And therefore they passed judgment upon a fellow servant. Because of their passing that judgment, the Lord placed upon them that very conclusion which they had reached. And they, in their own transgressions, then, were found to be outside of the white-fire core of service.
Judge not lest ye be judged, for it is meted unto you. Forgive as you would be forgiven.1
So you never know when that which may be dealt upon you may be exactly that which you have dealt upon another. For God places you in situations that force you to develop the flame of forgiveness. Understand this, then, that as you forgive one of a current sin, God will forgive you of past sins. And it is because you require forgiveness that God brings to you a friend on the Path who perhaps, in your estimation, treats you, then, unjustly.
Do you not realize that if you cannot forgive one another on the path of victory, you, then, cannot enter into the service of the shepherd of the sheep? For forgiveness is the mark of love, and ultimate love. And it is the forgetting with the forgiving that is the mark of forgiveness.
Understand, then, that the Lords of Karma do not trap mankind. They do not trap the lightbearers. For these initiations are known, and they are a part of the Path and even a part of the Lord’s Prayer: “Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.”2 It means forgive us our debts in the same manner as we forgive our debtors.
And therefore as you forgive one another, so God will extend his mercy to you. As you love one another, so God will extend love to you. And many times because of your love to one another, you find that you are able to balance pockets of karma that otherwise would have to be worked out with the sweat of the brow and the travail of life. But because of your freely giving of the flame, God freely gives to you. And it is not something that God decides; it is something that is written by the very action, reaction, interaction of the Law itself. It is an automatic process, beloved ones. As you so love, you receive love.
So then, let all come into the company of the angelic hosts of love. And let love now intensify to a white-hot heat that is the consuming by sacred fire of all that is less than God’s desiring to be love.
Be Willing to Submit to the Tests of Love
You who would desire of me a more than ordinary initiation in love, you are preparing for the chastisements of love through the hand of the Mother and through the hand of your God flame. Make your call to me silently and I will come to you in the coming weeks, and you will find very difficult tests of love crossing your path. But you will know that you have invoked it, and you will say, “There goes Lanello crossing my path. But he is not double-crossing me. He is making the sign of the cross whereby I can find the meeting of Alpha and Omega.”
Be willing to submit to the tests of love, precious ones. For mankind, and even lightbearers as a whole on earth, find this a most difficult test on the path of initiation. And so many fail that there is not a balance of those who carry the love flame with the other rays of the seven. The love-ray torchbearers are wanting and lacking because of so much confusion regarding the reality of love itself.
Study My Words
and Take to Your Heart the Sound of My Voice
I do encourage you to play the lectures which El Morya inspired upon me when I was among you, because the understanding of what love is and what it is not is a veritable science, which you will find in part in this album.3 I would like to know that you who are going to ask for increasing initiation will study my words, and be certain that you know all the signs of divine love and human love. For you will be tested to distinguish between the two, and sometimes this is a most difficult test, beloved hearts.
I also desire that you take to your heart the sound of my voice, its vibration and frequency, so that you can tune in to my Electronic Presence and I can be with you as you face even the most difficult questions of your own psychology and the schisms within your own subconscious mind, which are there because of the very absence or misuse of some portion of the flame of divine love.
In my love for you I am very much in earnest that you should come into that state of wholeness which our love is. Nothing can penetrate wholeness, beloved ones. I say, nothing. Do unto others as you would do unto me. Love one another as I have loved you.4 Let your expression of love for me this night be directed to the one to your right or to your left instead of to me. For it is far more important to me that you love the heartbeat, the heart flame and even the not perfected soul and the unperfected self of brother and sister. For in this you truly have the fullness of joy and of love.
The Stain of Selfishness Will Come to the Surface
Above all, realize that with the coming of the test of love, there will be a forcing out to the surface of your consciousness the most intense manifestations of selfishness that are a residue and a stain upon the inner garment of your soul—a stain that has been present with you, in some cases, for a hundred thousand years. And this stain is the great impediment to the flow of the crystal waters of the Mother in this hour.
It will come to the surface. It will be ugly. You will wrestle with it. It will make you dense, even almost causing you to forget my dictation or your very presence in this conference.
Face it and conquer it. Realize that it is this bestiality that causes you not to be able to fulfill the love of the calling of Saint Germain. And therefore have compassion for one another as you see these densities coming forth in the four lower bodies. Tarry with one another. Work with one another. Help one another to move through this energy—through decrees, through service and through an understanding heart.
Let all criticism, condemnation and judgment be removed from this company this day. I call forth my angels of light and the angels of the Great Divine Director. I call especially to the little children and to children of all ages to cast aside now all of that substance, all of that energy which you have ever invested in gossip, in maligning, in cruelty and in the subtle cruelties of those remarks which have subconscious motives.
To Remove the Flaws from the Diamond
You see, we are working to build of this body a cross of life, a veritable cross in manifestation. And we must be very definite and very particular in our instruction and in our demands. We are performing the alchemy of Saint Germain to remove the flaws from the diamond.
You are our diamonds, each and every one. And at first glance, the world will note the beautiful diamond. But the trained eye, even looking under the microscope, will see one or two flaws in that diamond. This we would remove because it causes your soul to be vulnerable to the forces without.
As Jesus said, “The prince of this world cometh and findeth nothing in me.”5 This is an oft-repeated quote because it bears such relevance to your testing on the Path. You must have nothing within you which can attract to you darkness from without.
In the testings of love, then, is the way and the opening for the removal of the tiniest flaws which drain the greatest amount of God-energy from your service each day. And this is why they are so diabolical. For these tiny grains of blackness within the subconscious, within your aura, within your four lower bodies redirect tons and tons of light that ought to be put into constructive use daily. By love you will be purged, because love is an intense fire that keeps on increasing, increasing and intensifying until that white-hot heat consumes within that gem all that is unlike itself and yet sustains the identity of the gem itself.
If you ask why you are not making progress individually or collectively, will you not consider that perhaps it is because you have not run with determination on the path of initiation. Initiation means the testing of your soul to see whether you can be entrusted with more light, to see whether you can hold more light and sustain its forcefield without reacting to the fallen ones who will come to challenge you, to make you irritable or discouraged or upset or even angry.
Let us see, then, that you invoke Lord Maitreya, that you invoke the coming of my flame. For I desire to be remembered among you as the one who opened your heart to the greatest love the world has ever known and who led you to the feet of the real and living Christ and not the false Christ, who is portrayed in the churches of the world, but the true Christ, who is the Master and the Saviour of all.
As I have told you before, only by love will you conquer. Go forth, my children. Go forth to conquer by love.
