Vol. 59 No. 5 - Beloved Lord Maitreya - March 1, 2016
The Living Book
I would speak to you of the Passion Week from the level of the Cosmic Christ and the very personal relationship of the ascended Guru with the unascended chela who must shortly pass through this initiation.
Truly the flow of hearts—the oneness of our hearts—on that occasion is something that the world must know and be aware of. As Jesus called me Father, as I served in the office of Father closest to him, so through my heart, which kept the vigil of his entire mission, he was one with Gautama, with Sanat Kumara, with Alpha, and therefore understood the One Sent,1 understood the messenger in heaven as the messenger on earth, as the very extension of the divine light who is God.
Thus, as to me Jesus was an extension in form of my life and as each one above me in the offices of hierarchy so considered the same, we all partook of his cup as the Great Law would allow. For one part of life—especially when that part of the light is the living, pulsating manifestation of the Cosmic Christ—can only be experienced by every other part of life who is Cosmic Christ as the essence of one’s Self.
This unity, beloved, this feeling of every part of life that is part of God everywhere, is something that is dulled to your own outer awareness—not because you are sinners, but because you are here in form with many tasks to perform to prepare this manger* for the birth of every avatar to come.
Thus, if you were to retain the world pain, the ongoing world crucifixion of the Christed ones, you would then, perforce, be required to sit in meditation, like the statue of the Buddha or of Padma Sambhava. For only in perpetual meditation and in the giving forth of the science of the Word does one hold the balance for this experience of the oneness of the mystical body of God.
Thus, activities change on the ascending scale of hierarchy. But remember also that Lord Confucius, one of great attainment and light, keeps himself entirely active in the service at the Royal Teton Retreat while yet maintaining a certain awareness of life becoming life through the cosmic travail of the Woman.2
Thus I myself, in this understanding that I have shared with you, was, of course, one in the very heart and the pierced side, the full experience of the Lord Christ. And I can tell you that the ongoing invective of the fallen ones endured by the lightbearers over the centuries is just as great as the final conclusion in the physical octave, and perhaps greater. For as you know, and as Jesus has told you, the brief period upon the cross for him was not nearly the suffering that some saints have experienced lifetime after lifetime.
This he said. And, therefore, let none accuse him of disparaging his own office or his own dispensation of the crucifixion. This he has not done, nor have you. But only for the glorification of the Son, wherever that Son does appear, is the Lord Jesus Christ come—and every other avatar whom I have sponsored.
In contemplation of this week, then, we approach it not from the sorrowful way of the fourteen stations of the cross, but moreover as profound instruction, illumination of the Lord Christ by the Holy Spirit, so that each one may squarely understand what he may expect as he sets his heart to the true path of original Christhood.
“Be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world!”3 He spake those words of mine as I spoke them to him, giving unto him the good cheer of my office and attainment, reassuring him for the victory. In so many of the phrases that you now read by this illumination in scripture, you will feel the vibration of the golden thread of illumination, of the quietness of the Buddha. The yellow fire is a quiet yet all-powerful strength emanating continually the Word as affirmation of being.
The initiation of the crucifixion—which means the fastening of oneself to the cross of Alpha and Omega to be where there is the convergence of the Father-Mother light—this, beloved hearts, is a calling and a selection which you would not want to miss in this embodiment.
I urge you, then, to consider the strengthening of your individual forces in God, preparing you day by day. As you receive again and again communion, so the crumb of life is a “crumb,” a portion of the whole loaf of initiation, until you can truly take in the fullness of the Body and Blood of the ascended-master Presence, your own archetype in heaven—Jesus, Saint Germain, El Morya—and can contain that light and that being where you are.
I AM Maitreya. For I AM in the heart of the mountain at the very edge of the wilderness here in this place consecrated to Ephraim’s sons.4
I AM here for the reinforcing of the circle of Lord Gautama.
I AM here to anoint you and remind you of the desire of Serapis Bey and the hosts of the fourth ray to implant a mighty focus of the white fire of the Mother.5
But caution given from on high must be reiterated. These servants of the fourth ray of purity have said: We will not accelerate this focus here lest this very light encourage greater opposition to itself, and lest those who support it faint in the very process of defending it.
The word has also been given that certain avatars will not embody here until those who comprise the community have sufficient attainment to hold the balance for that light—not because they are afraid, but because they would not jeopardize your own Path. And what is the Path? The Path is this: the Passion Week, the understanding of all that it holds for you personally.
Thus the building of the retreat, so important in the physical octave—because of the loss of the children of light on this planet and the physical door being the only door by which they can enter before they move on to etheric octaves—must not become overimportant and you yourself allow the work of the day or of the hour to interfere with the sense of the inner building of the temple, your own temple, so reinforced by the white stone of light—brick upon brick, these stones that must one day hold the full effulgent light of the Lord Sanat Kumara.
It is a respite for the Mother and for all who come here to dwell in this place prepared.6 Realize, then, that it is also a sacrifice to go out from this place and to descend once again into the area where world thought and concentrated world population reinforces the negative aspects of Antichrist.
Remember that only a few individuals having conscious hatred may funnel the hatred of ten million people living in the Los Angeles area. Even if only fifty harbored resentment or malice toward the messengers or the students or the church, they are sufficient as transformers of the full momentum of world hatred.
Therefore, you see, it has always been the path of the avatars to remove themselves from areas of density of population, and then beyond that, to hide themselves in places where no one could find them or know their exact location. For [those with resentment or malice] will always place the crosshairs of a focus of the cross itself exactly where the physical anchor point of the avatar is to further direct that same energy of world hatred.
Thus, it is necessary, then, for the sign of mobility to be realized in the advanced chela as the sign of safety. And it is often necessary to remove oneself to a point in the Inner Retreat, here or there, where only the birds and the angels and the elementals may truly know the forcefield of your own presence.
Realize that there are little ones who live in tiny bodies, there are little children connected with this activity who rightfully ought not to be in an area of such a dense population. Often they are weary and burdened and sometimes even out of sorts for bearing so much momentum of world energy.
Let all who are a part of this community, parents and teachers and those who have concern about their own path of light, realize that as the way of the messengers of God has been shown, and this one also, so you must follow. For your day is also coming—and the days will be shortened7 for you who elect to adopt the full path of Christhood—when you yourselves will no longer be able to bear the burden of the areas of large concentration of population.
It is then that you will require the place prepared and you will understand why the sacrifice was necessary. Each sacrifice you make, then, is your own surety against the day of the LORD’s calling to bear more light, and therefore more world karma, and to be in a place where added unto this there may not be simply the intensity of lifewaves uncommitted to the solar evolution of the Cosmic Christ.
And what is this solar evolution, my beloved? I AM evolving in every heart, through every Christ Self, through every threefold flame. And when I say “I AM,” it is the office I hold, it is the Cosmic Christ of which I AM aware. For no one can contain the fullness of that Christ, yet I hold the office and the mantle. The Cosmic Christ is the universal presence of the Word—springing forth, budding, and taking root here and there. Thus, you see, because I hold the office, I AM there when each avatar is born, when you are born the new creature,8 when you also elect to be upon the cross.
I urge you, as I have already done through this messenger of my heart, that you contemplate in these seven days and the eighth day, which signifies the eternal rest from time and space, these events in the life of one who has so portrayed to you that which is necessary. I can only tell you that not having drunk the full cup, to ascend prematurely would be a mighty disappointment; for each and every one of you, as stalwart sons and disciples of the World Mother, longs for the fullness of that sacred fire and that calling.
Because they have done unto him what they would,9 you place yourself also in the place of John the Baptist and Jesus, saying, “So also now is come the judgment of this world. For judgment I AM come, and yet I judge not. There is one that judgeth, and it is the Word that I speak.”10
Dear hearts, you have seen this Word in yourselves become the judgment of those to whom you have spoken it. When the Word has spoken through you and the Holy Spirit has passed from you, you know surely that this is the extension of the Guru Sanat Kumara in your presence. And you know that surely in the end, whatever the end means in terms of that individual, the judgment is come—the judgment has exacted the full penalty of the Law for the rejection of the Godhead dwelling bodily in you.11
Now, blessed hearts, you cannot flaunt the Law and be off guard and even have a twinge of pride that you are somehow better than others, and then go and speak your own mind and piece and say, “It is the judgment.” Great, great humility is required of those who are the instrument of the Word. You may be the instrument of a message of God one day to one soul; but if you are out of alignment for the next thirty days or thirty years, the Word will not speak again.
And so there is a daily striving, a tuning of the instrument. You must become a virtuoso on the instrument of God that is your body temple. Would you suspect that a first violinist would perform with a symphony orchestra or play passages alone before large audiences without daily practice, over and over again, and the tuning of the strings?
Thus, because you have won a battle, do not become overcertain, overly confident, and think that somehow you have arrived and nothing can change. You are always at the alchemy of change, you are always at the altar, you are always in the process of transcending that former state! It is like being in the perpetual war of Armageddon—the Battle Victorious.
If you are on a certain ground and there your position becomes known and you fight the enemy there, and then another day and another round is upon you, would you remain in the same place of the previous battle now that the enemy has defined your point of strategy and of reference? Why, not so. You would take yourself and your band to another place.
So, you see, as soon as the enemy defines your state of consciousness, as soon as the enemy has, so to speak, your “number”—which is your vibration and the formula of your being—as soon as you have the victory there, you must no longer be found there. You must be one niche higher on the scale of initiation, so that when they seek and look for you in the old, familiar place, you are not there. They could not find Jesus until he desired to be found and desired to be taken. He made it relatively simple for Judas to betray him, for the hour had come for the Son of man to be glorified.12
Thus, beloved hearts, you may be certain that we have a mighty work in store for you, and thus be not tempted that somehow the hour is come for you for a physical change or a physical trial or a physical death—even those who occupy temples of an older age.
This is the point of Serapis Bey where you are so enfired with the white light and the victory of eternal life that you never submit in consciousness to any projection of the removal of yourself, by divine dispensation or otherwise, to other spheres or octaves. For heaven descends to the lowest level of the physical and astral planes through you, for heaven desires the total victory in this age.
The forces of the world are gathering. The Christ crucified is America. And America, as a people and a nation, know not that they are undergoing the Passion Week—and the enemy is within, within the very temple, and without.
Both the Pharisees and the Caesars of Rome have decreed the destruction of this initiate. Suffice it to say that the remnant of Christed ones, the anointed in her midst who come from all nations, must take upon themselves this national crucifixion and spread the word of the betrayal of the fallen ones and even the betrayal of those who are among the disciples of Christ in the churches.
Only if the people are informed as to the Son of man within them and their own Path—how to find it, how to walk it, how to achieve it—can the nation as a whole rise victorious on resurrection morn. It is indeed, then, the hour of the ascended masters’ breaking the bread of life13 through you, through all who go forth publishing the Word, preaching the Word.
All who are a part of this entire pyramid of the establishment of our activity, each one serving makes possible the delivery of our publications, a single book, into the heart of one who has so cried out and so longed for truth that that very longing has established the equivalent vibration in polarity of the seraphim, whom you call to, to bring them to the stores to find those books.
Blessed ones, think of the fervor of the soul as seeker for the Path containing enough light to attract the seraphim, that they might be escorted to find a book that to you has been a long-ago stepping-stone on the Path, a book perhaps you no longer think about for you have eaten it, chewed it up, assimilated it, and you have become the living book.
The treasure of the book and the many books written by your Father Enoch is still held within the very heart of the earth. Three hundred sixty-six books did Enoch write in the presence of God when he was taken up to the highest heaven.14 But after this, the Flood came and no one yet has found these lost books of Enoch. Yet, they were read by his children before the coming of the Flood.
I desire you to understand that all of heaven has conspired together to deliver the Word of God, which God gave to Enoch, through these two witnesses.15 For this teaching to Enoch was for you personally—for all the descendants of light who came through Adam and reincarnated again, for every embodied angel who embodied for the rescue of the lightbearers. And these teachings now published in these publications are the very message which God secured to Enoch before his ascension into heaven.
I pray that you will pursue a study of this text of the Secrets of Enoch and that you will realize how close you are to that ascended master16 and how dearly he loves you as Father and father figure in your midst, and how determined he is to promote your calling, your mission, and the spreading of the Word of these books and teachings until all for whom they have been secured may have them and make the choice to ascend to God as he did.
There is great fervor among all the hosts of the LORD, but there is no greater fervor in any than the fervor of your Father Enoch to deliver to you the writings which he himself wrote in the presence of God as his messenger. Do you see how you were all born to be messengers of Shamballa, to carry some portion of that Word—to live it, to internalize it, to be it as a pulsating light on earth? Remember the calling.
Messengers of Maitreya, messengers of Shamballa, I pray you, learn the message well. Shortcut it not, pervert it not, misinterpret it not, but deliver it as the crystal-clear stream of your own I AM Presence flowing through you for the nourishing of life. The message is the cup of cold water which you give in the name of the Cosmic Christ.17
In the name of the beloved son, Jesus, and all sons of Liberty whom the Karmic Board has sent in this century, I seal you by the intense fire of the illumination of my heart and of the Holy Spirit. And I will touch you now and, by this touch, anchor that point whereby you might also receive all that is to be given this Easter week at Camelot.18
