Beloved ones, I would speak to you of the science of the victory. The word science conveys the concept of that which is certain, that which is known, and that which is in operation according to law and according to mathematics. That which is science can be known from the beginning to the end.
Somehow the concept of chance, accident, blind belief or sudden miracle has been upon religious people for many centuries, and therefore they depend upon an unknown law and an unknown science for the manifestation of day-to-day matters of the heart and of the soul, which ought to be understood in the light of the true divine science of the Law.
When you understand the science of alchemy that is taught by Saint Germain,1 when you experiment with that science and seek to prove it in the full faith that the law of God and his science will work if you properly apply it, then you can have results that are unconditional. And you can begin to count upon a science that works for you and through you in your day-to-day overcoming on the Path. Is this not far greater than a haphazard existence based on superstition and the intrusion of unknown forcefields and unknown gods? Truly the era of science is the era of the one God, the known God, rather than the unknown god, whom men have ignorantly worshiped despite the sermon of Saint Paul on Mars' hill.2
See, then, that as we view the City Foursquare, itself a formula fromout the Great Central Sun, we would draw our sons and daughters into the great age of Aquarius, the age of real science. And we would draw the scientists of the age into an understanding of the great teaching of the ascended masters that comes through our messenger and through the forcefield of the Mother flame.
I would tell you, then, of the science of the Holy Spirit, which is the science of conversion. This teaching the Lord Christ has revealed to you inmany sermons given through the messenger, and there are other manifestations of the teaching of this science that appear in the dictations of the ascended masters given over the years.
In fulfillment of Jesus' call to tarry in the city of Jerusalem until ye be endued with power from on high,3 I say to you, as the representative of the Holy Spirit to earth's evolutions and, above all, to the twelve tribes of Israel, it is absolutely necessary that you receive theHoly Spirit in order to work the works of God in this age. That Spirit, then, is the impartation of the Trinity itself. It is an increase of the honor flame, of purity, of love and the interaction of love.
In order for the Holy Spirit to dwell within your temple and to abide there, you must have an extraordinary love that is not of this world, yet it enters this world to minister to life and to love and to love and to love the little children, and the children who are not so little and yet who must be cared for as though they were.
Blessed ones, I say, seek the Holy Spirit. I say, pursue it with a passion. I say, claim it by divine right. And I say, go with Christ into your temple and view for yourself that which ought not to be, that which Daniel called the abomination of desolation standing in a holy place where it ought not.4 You, then, must go with God, with Christ into your temple, and be prepared to see that which is unholy. And therefore when you see it, let the commanding presence of the All-Seeing Eye of God, who has given you that vision to see that which is out of alignment, be also the power to dispel it and remove it. Let it be your strength, your courage, your determination.
I come to add my flame to the Ancient of Days. I come to give of myself in yourself. I come to be the Holy Spirit in you. And I come also with an assignment for the staff, and that is to secure these teachings of the Lord Christ on the Holy Spirit and on the conversion of the Holy Spirit in the New Jerusalem in print and in the spoken Word.5 For this is the nourishment and the soul food required by the people of God.
It is one thing to pass through the nexus of the Father, to understand the Law and the will and the flame. It is another to have the wisdom of the Son. But I say, you are not complete unless you have the love of the Holy Spirit and unless that Holy Spirit be satisfied that that love, in all cosmic honor, is the light sufficient unto the momentum required for you to receive the gifts and graces of the Lord’s Spirit.
The coming of the Holy Spirit demands great integrity of soul, being true to one's word, being loyal to that which is of God, and not being loyal to the human consciousness in oneself or in anyone. There is no room for compromise with the human consciousness if you would retain the God consciousness of eternal love that is the cloven tongues of the Paraclete.
Your loyalties, then, must be toward those who do the will of God. And those who see that will and do it not, let them be removed, then, from this company, for they become as a black spot upon the white sphere of the Great Central Sun Magnet. Let themgo their way with others who do not the will of God, for they will find ample company in this world. And you need not be concerned or have human sympathy, for there are many who will receive them and who will join them as they berail the Christ upon the cross and the effort of that community which I have ordained.
Thus let it be. Let it be that the carving out of the divine identity be an honor that is an honor to God—to God first and last and always. And let your criterion be, “Is the action which my friend or my family requires of me causing me to be disloyal to God, to his will, to his holy purpose and to the cause of the Great White Brotherhood?”
If those who surround you are engaging you in human compromise by their human sympathy, then I say, as long as you allow yourself to remain in the grips of that association, you will never receive the Holy Spirit. For this is the breaking of your integrity with the Almighty One. God comes before all—before your lesser self, before the lesser self of loved ones, and even before the lesser self of your twin flame. God, only God, must have your worship, your devotion. To all others you become the agency of ministration and of great service, but unto God is reserved the worship of your soul.
The sternness of the Maha Chohan is the sternness of the white flame of honor. If you would know what honor is, then apply to me and I will release the steely white light that will show you the shabbiness of some of your past deeds and past associations. And when you see that light and the angelic hosts who stand in the midst thereof, you will shun the past, even as you will shun your own former self. And you will know that when faced with the choice to be disloyal to God or to man, you will choose the latter and fear not the breaking of any agreements or contracts you have made, in order to reinstate God and reinstate the covenant that he has made with you, with the people Israel. It is up to you to keep the covenant. Let all other human contracts, then, which interfere with the covenants of God be broken, for ye cannot serve God and mammon.6
I will show you a mystery. It is the mystery of the inner Church. I will show you the mystery of the bride of the Holy Spirit. I will show you a flame in your heart as the inner core of the flower. I will show you the light that ascends. I will show you realities and galaxies and wonders of life that exist within your very own temple. I will show you a reason and a science and a proof to have faith, simple faith, in the Almighty One.
I AM the ever-present Spirit of life. I AM the breath of life. I AM the comfort that permeates the breeze, that is sent from the stars, that is the warmth of the sun, that is the color of the floral offerings and the smile upon the face of the friend, the beloved.
I will show you the universal presence of the Holy Spirit. I will show you the mystery of hallowing space. I will show you how that cloud which the LORD God caused to appear to Elijah as a man’s hand7—how that cloud of energy, of a forcefield of the Holy Spirit, can intensify before your very eye until it fills all the room in the house in which you are assembled with the quivering of the Holy Spirit, that you might be filled with that Spirit.
I will show you the mystery, but first you must tear down your idols, your altars of Baal, your consorting with the psychic spirits and the forces of spiritualism which have posed as the ascended masters to you now for too many months. And you have hearkened to them and you have fancied yourselves also taking dictations from the masters, and you have allowed yourselves to become the instruments of that abomination of desolation and that impure stream of darkness.
It is given unto the messenger to be robed in the white robe of prophecy. It is given unto you to have the gift of prophecy as one who gives forth the teaching of the LORD's host that is brought forth. Be content, then, to be doers of the Word.8 Be content to be teachers of the Word. But do not enter into that psychic intercourse with those individualities in astral planes that come in all of the imitation of the LORD's hosts.
The descent of the Spirit upon all flesh, the descent of the vision of God, is vouchsafed to all who will clear the temple. And yet it is not the gift of the messengership, but it is the gift of the conveyance of the Word of God as power, as wisdom, as love, as the ability to break the bread of life and to feed the multitudes with the Logos. We will give forth the immense body of the teaching and you will transfer the teaching.
Thus keep yourselves clean and white and unspotted, and have not the pride of psychic entanglement, for that appeal to the lesser self is dishonorable in the sight of God. Therefore let the company be purged of all psychic manifestation, for this is a deterrent to the coming of the LORD's host.
Be content with the spontaneous preaching of the Word through your beings, which was given to the apostles. Be content to rely upon the Spirit. And go with God as his instrument.
I AM the Maha Chohan, and I will stand in the Holy City, in you, to challenge the false prophets of the Holy Spirit who are seizing the unclean temples of many of the people in the land, who have, in their ambition, sought the Holy Spirit without first coming for the clearing of the temple. Fear not, then, to give forth that challenge to the dark ones. For I will be in you the power of exorcism, but first you must be willing, by your own heart flame, to exorcise your own temple.
When you have proven your worth, as Jacob did, so then you will receive the blessing of Israel. Therefore wrestle with the man till the breaking of the day, and say to the angel of the Lord, “I will not let thee go except thou bless me.”9 And with that blessing, then, wrestle with the dragon and the fallen one. Cast them out! Cast them into the bottomless pit! And stand, then, as the tabernacle in the midst of the wilderness land.
See, then, how Almighty God has called thee up. See, then, how he will keep his promise. See that that promise of love fulfilled is upon you. See it, then. For I AM here for the sealing of the mantle.
I AM the Maha Chohan. I AM the omnipresence of love. I AM universal love personified wherever there is an altar to love and wherever there is devotion from elemental life, the angelic hosts or the children of God. So in the devotion to the Holy Spirit is the Holy Spirit personified and is space and time hallowed.
Go forth, then, for the full God-mastery of the Holy Spirit. And watch how the prophets of Israel, the ascended masters themselves, will deliver their judgments and the law of the Logos in your life.
I AM the mouthpiece of God speaking through the mouthpiece of God, speaking unto you that you might be the voice of the Lord. Amen.
