A Simple Devotion to God
The energy of God that is upon you is for a light unto the people of all the world.
I come with the light which I held up as a candle, as a child holds up a candle to lighten the room and to look for father in the way in the evening, in the snowy evening. So the little child holds a candle in the window, and the glow of that fire is the warmth of the hearth of home.
There are many upon earth who want to be called Home, who long for Home. There are many who seek the one light. I have come today to inspire you with devotion to God—a simple devotion and a humble devotion that grows into a fiery flame, a consuming fire that enables even the meek to be strengthened, as the Lamb of God. I speak, then, of the understanding that comes with devotion. For even those untutored in the schools of this world can understand (when close to Mary the Mother and to Gabriel, the angel of the Lord) the inner meaning of the science of the Word and the power of the Christ to exorcise not only the demons of the individual consciousness, but the demons that have become the dragons to infest the nations and to strangle the very lifeblood from the people, that their souls might be prevented from ascending to the Presence of God.
Is this not why it was said, “Come apart and be a separate people”?1 In order to reexperience the lifeline of energy that comes from God, you must be separated from the many chains that tie your energies to a beast and the consciousness of bestiality that undergirds the nations in this hour in place of the Lord Christ.
Wait upon the Lord Day by Day
I bid you welcome, then, to the community of lightbearers, but I would speak to you individually. For I was alone in prayer unto God and had not a companion on the path of sainthood. God spoke to me when I was alone. I would speak to you, then, as though you were alone. For in a certain sense, when you contemplate God and you go within, you feel yourself apart and alone and separate even from loved ones. I would speak to you, then, of the inner devotion of your heart, which can tip the balance for the victory of earth.
I saw the flame of prayer which Mother Mary gave to me, a recitation of prayers which I gave daily and by the hour. I saw that prayer be the open door for angels descending to nurture the sick and the dying and for the assistance to Mother Russia.2 For though it was as bad as it was, it might have been much worse for the people, for the very land, for elemental life had it not been for those prayers, which were answered in so many ways that are written in the history of earth.
I speak to you alone in the recesses of your heart. As you make your decision what to do with the gift of life that lies in your hand, you say to yourself, “Will I go here? Will I go there? Will I take this job? Will I go to school? Will I be married? Will I have a family?”
I must say to you that all that you are to do and to become will come to you by the will of God if you place your energiesin devotion to him. Those who wait upon the Lord day by day, fulfilling the calling of holding the flame for earth, find themselves growing in a state of grace whereby God draws to them every part of the perfect plan, every good gift, every need met. And therefore the hours that are spent in toil, in worry, in concern and anxiety are a robbery of the gentle flow of purity and the essence of the Mother and of your contemplation with him.
You see, then, if you will just try withme for a week to pray when there is turmoil about or questioning or disturbance or misunderstanding or aggressive fears or bad dreams or problems in the home, if you will drop them and walk away and pray and give your rosary and make your calls and then come back. With a heartfelt desire of love for you, I desire that you should know the toil-less way of overcoming victory, the way of harmony and of a mighty power that you have not yet tasted because you have still looked to yourself to be the solver of the problems of your life, your experience and your church.
I come, then, with a request, a most earnest request (to you, my son, to you, my daughter) that you will for a week, in love, commune with the angels, do your work steadfastly without missing a measure or a beat, keep in time with the wheels of the great work that is at hand, yet always committing unto the Spirit your thoughts, your hopes, your feelings, your love. Then see what new power and new peace will come upon you.
For, you see [when I was embodied in Russia], there was great turmoil and war all about and the screams of the dying and upheaval and the mass entities that hung about. And you can see that if I had left my prayer post, as I might well have done, I would have lost the communion that was the open door of the stream of life to souls, even on the astral plane, who were fighting for their freedom from the fallen ones who came, destroying the physical temple that they might destroy the soul.
You, then, know what it is to be torn from prayer because of duties at hand. And you know that whenever you pray with intensity and you go into the deepest meditation, that is when the light that you draw forth will stir the disquietude of those around you. This is a testimony to the immense power that is drawn by your contemplation and your decrees. This, then, I ask—that you hold that power, that you hold that prayer, that you refrain from unnecessary conversation, and that you find your peace in the surcease of all struggle.
The Prophecy of the Ascended Masters
I am Igor, and my life is a testimony to the victory, the solitary victory, for the individual and for the nation. I spend much of my life* yet in Russia. And by the dispensation which was given through the dictation which I released a number of years ago, which was published as a Pearl of Wisdom, I have been able to appear to numbers of souls in Russia3 to speak to them of our Brotherhood and to speak to them of freedom, to teach them also, as Mary taught me, how to pray and how to keep the flame. And others of the ascended hosts (having not the instrument, as you have in the West, of the chelas to give forth the books and the Law) have also appeared.
And therefore there is a very small nucleus of lightbearers in the Soviet Union this day who know of the ascended masters and know of your activity and who are being trained directly by our Brotherhood to hold that light for the coming revolution in consciousness, which will mean a great change on the earth and perhaps great upheaval unless those in the West who have the light will go forth staunch, stalwart and true, challenging (in the nations of Europe and Africa, North and South America) all that is anti-Christ and all that has been spawned by the lie of World Communism.
We see the hosts of the LORD in embodiment, the shining ones, their faces. We see the youth rallying and uniting as they demonstrate for the light. We see the light going forth from their faces in Sweden and in other countries of Europe. We see that light as an oncoming army, and we see the receding of the powers of darkness in the face of the oncoming lightbearers.
We have also seen the demonstrations of the youth by the thousands and the hundreds of thousands when their energies were trapped by the fallen ones. And we have seen how they have swayed public opinion and moved enormous quantities of energies against the light. We see, among the numbers of those who have demonstrated against the light, a deep longing to find the truth and to defend those who have been trodden upon by the misuses of the fallen ones and the Luciferian creation, by the misuses of both capitalism and Communism in the East and West.
We see, then, that many among you will take this teaching in book, in sermon, in song, in heart, in mind and in God determination and that you will spark the coming revolution of consciousness. We see the army of the Christian soldiers marching and we see the throngs joining them. And we know that in the face of this light, backed by the light of the armies of the LORD, the powers that be will fall from their heights, and the stars and the sun and the moon and all that have occupied these positions as luminaries in the firmament of the material cosmos. We see them falling in the face of the few who will become the many.
This is the prophesy of the ascended masters as a writing upon the wall. But the fulfillment of the prophesy depends upon the free will of those who are now embodied, for it demands the work of hearts and heads and hands carrying this teaching but, above all, electing from all choices and alternatives to be simply devotees of God.
Be the Love That Will Change the Earth
I was a most ordinary peasant. One could not conceive of a soul perhaps less gifted and less trained in the ways of this world. I count myself, then, as a very close friend to each one of you, one who has lived in the modern age, one who understands. And I can say, with the deepest conviction, that although you have had the greater training in the outer than I had in the hour when I kept the flame for Russia, yet we are much alike, very much alike.
And therefore, with the same striving, the same devotion, the same input of energy on your part, you too can receive the presence of the angels, the teachers of mankind. You too can be one with the army of the LORD and know that strength that every martyr, every saint, everyone who has ever loved God with the intensity of his whole being has known. If I, then, alone with God in my room and upon my cot, could invoke the intercession of the Most High, one for a nation, can you not also, as you number in the hundreds and the thousands this day, be that devotion which is the love that will change this earth? After all, all that can be accomplished in so many avenues, it all comes down to pure devotion to God—this the open door, this the simplicity of truth.
I am a pilgrim with you and I remain very close to your walk with God. I cannot absent myself from the earth in any way, but I walk with the garments of the peasants of Russia, with their worn shoes, muddied from the labor of the fields. I identify with the spirit of a people who have the creative fires of the Spirit, who are waiting for their brothers and sisters in the West to overthrow first the tyrants that have invaded their own countries and then to come and to join them and to help them to defend their right to pursue God, to pursue reality, and to have that government that is of the people and by the people and for the people, whose head is Christ and whose flame is God.
Be still for a moment now and listen to the voice of God within you. [21-second pause] Now feel the great light of God that is come upon you as I place my hand upon your head.
[11-second pause]
Now, precious hearts, know that heaven is not far, but so very close. Know, then, that all that you are required to give in this hour of giving is but a fragment, a morsel of all that God has given to you, and that in your giving, billions of souls will go free. In your withholding, an evolution may be lost.
This is the hour of transition when the entire earth is at the nexus, the nexus of movement from Pisces to Aquarius. And the few souls who have the courage to hold the energy of God, they stand at the nexus. And through that nexus all of the energies of the cycles must pass from one plane to another plane. You see, then, that the devotee and the lightbearer in this age must have the expansion of consciousness and of the chakras. For by these vortices of energy, the children of earth are nourished by Almighty God.
I am Igor. I see the shadow coming out of the Soviet Union, extending over the continents. And I call for the devotees of the nations who will roll back that darkness by the candle of the little child held in the window to welcome home the father.
I AM in you the love of humanity.
