I come to quicken consciousness to the receptivity of the eternal message: Love that flows is a mighty River of Life. And as you move with that river, you contact the hearts of millions and you are there when the quickening action of the Christ conveys that flow to each heart and soul and mind.
The simple truths that mankind have forgotten are the little keys that unlock the greatest doors, the doors of opportunity. Heed well, then, the Master’s call, and remember that the initiation of the equinox is the putting off of the old man, the putting on of the new,1 and the basking in the fires of resurrection.
Would you not desire to have restored to you the faculties of soul which you once knew—divine talents, the ability to portray in this octave the true beauty of God, the wonders of God? Would you not like to have that energy, that impetus that removes you from the drudgery and from the toil of a mechanical civilization?
Mankind can propel their consciousness into the golden age if they will but test the fires of Titicaca, if they will but come there to learn of a nobler way, an easier way, the way of Eden, the way of the return to Reality and the All-Seeing Eye of God.
Behold, I AM that line, I AM that forcefield, that ring of fire, that ring-pass-not that is the protection of the power of the spoken Word.
The subjective awareness of light must become the objective awareness of light. That which is within must become manifest perfection. This is the fulfilling of the Law. It is the City Foursquare. You are that city. You are the four sides of that city as you engrave the threefold flame upon stone and declare in letters of living flame: “I AM the Word of God incarnate. I AM the Word made flesh. Yet in my flesh shall I see God. Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men.”2
All of the testings, all of the strivings, all of the evolutions of the soul for aeons come now into the crucible, into the quest for reality, into this age, into this point in time and space. And the great question is: Whither goest thou? Quo Vadis? 3
Will you now bring to bear the great flow of the energies of your being upon this age in order to create a new forcefield, a new dimension in your field of endeavor, wherever you work, wherever you study, wherever you give praise to God? Will you invoke that light that is locked in your own causal body to transform the earth? This is the question that the Lords of Karma ask humanity.
Will the few and the many realize that their inner commitment and the reason for their incarnation, that promise to the Lords of Life, was to make a new heaven and a new earth, to transform this platform?
This was the vow that you took and this is why you are here. You were singled out because every one of you made a pledge to hierarchy not to leave this planet as you found it, not to leave it in density and darkness but to transform it by the transforming power of the Christ mind.
I AM intensifying the action of my heart flame to your heart flame so that you will feel the pulsation and the truth of my words. I intensify this action so that the soul memory of that vow will be made known to your outer consciousness now, so that you will feel that commitment, that responsibility to go forth from this place and to rededicate your energies to a new birth of freedom, a new birth of enlightenment, and a new anchoring of the will of God in the individual and in society.
I tell you, you are privileged today to have form and consciousness in this octave. Do you realize, precious hearts, what a travesty it is when the Lords of Karma give the word and endow a soul with opportunity for life, and then that soul is assigned to parents, the parents conceive a child, and within three months they deliberately abort that life?
What do you think this means to a soul? What do you think this means to the divine plan of a planet? It means that there is an abortion of the divine plan, there is an arresting of the spiral, and hierarchy must search again and again and again for those parents who value life and the opportunity to consecrate life.
Do you realize that many of you, if you were standing at the portals of birth in this hour, might gain entry but be denied by your own fellowman? I say, this is the action of the Herods who would kill the firstborn and the Manchild in order to destroy the avatar and the Christ.
I say, then, value opportunity! For this warfare of Darkness and Light is not yet over. Make the most of opportunity in time and space. For once you have returned to other realms and have not that form which you now wear, you will have to wait perhaps a hundred years or more to return to Terra in order to work out your karma and your salvation. You dare not put off till the morrow the sacred opportunity of the hour. It is too late. Time flows on, and that moving stream returns not. In your vernacular, it soon becomes water over the dam, and you cannot recall it, you cannot go back.
I say, then, some of you know that you have wasted the years of your life. Some of you know that your commitment to truth has been compromised by the desire to appear popular and to be with the crowd. I say, the Keeper of the Scrolls and the angels of record have noted this compromise in the Book of Life4 and you will live to regret each compromise [you have made], for you will have to reclaim it by the cosmic honor flame.
I come not to chastise. I come in the flame of love to remind you of an inner calling. I come because my heart truly loves and because one and all, each of you, through some experience somewhere, sometime, has woven a sacred tie to my heart. You know not my name but you sense that flame, that purpose. You know that you love wisdom, you know that you have vowed to give your all in order to get this understanding. And yet you have allowed the world, the things of the world and the desires of the world, to take you from your promised goal.
I say, before you retire this night, sit down in meditation with pencil and paper and write down those experiences, present or past, in which you feel you have compromised your mission, your purpose, in which you feel you have allowed others to compromise your mission. And then consider the totality of a planet in travail, a planet groaning to deliver the Christ Child, and ask yourself: Is one individual, with the demands of the ego placed upon that one, worth the sacrifice of the total victory of the earth? And then answer honestly and be willing to follow the dictates of the divine Logos, the logic of the Christ within you.
Did not Jesus say, “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household”?5
Why did he say this? Because karmic ties of the past often weave a situation that is intolerable to the expansion of the Christ light. And therefore he said, “He that taketh not his cross and followeth after me is not worthy of me,”6 and “No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”7
You must consider every decision you have made, whether it has been for the light or against the light, and realize that from the standpoint of hierarchy there is no compromise. “He that is not for us is against us.”8 That is the stand of the Great White Brotherhood.
And as far as we are concerned, those who choose, who elect to be the elect of God, are worthy to receive our ministrations. Those who reject hierarchy we do not pursue. We leave them alone until they become surfeited in their own consciousness and cry out for our help. And then, according to the law of cycles, we return at the appointed hour. Be not surprised, then, that sometimes humanity must cry long and hard in the night before the response is given. For they have been in a state of rebellion for thousands of years, and the Lord does not approach them until that desire waxes hot with a fervor that cannot be cooled or dimmed by any force or any presence.
Understand that for each one the sands in the hourglass are measured and they fall, and the remainder of this incarnation passes day by day, hour by hour, moment by moment. The Karmic Board decides on the allotment of energy and on the life span of each one. By good works that life span is often extended; by neglect it is shortened.
You see, then, it is appointed to man to live and to be the representative of light on earth. That is the mission of everyone, but how few remember that calling. I say, then, it is time for seriousness and for a reconsideration of all factors. For this earth will pass through a period of transition that will not be altogether comfortable for those who have compromised.
Therefore I say, be one in the flame of truth and you will endure unto the end and you will pass through the fiery trial. And when the earth is righted on its axis, when the astral plane is dissolved in the lake of fire and the beast and the false prophet and the fallen ones have been taken, you will find that you remain incarnate, with opportunity to build a new heaven and a new earth and a new civilization based on the teachings of the golden-age masters. And when the karma falls upon the planet, see that your energies are not aligned with the fallen ones, for their karma will fall. Surely it will come. Surely it will come.
Come apart and be a separate people elect unto God. Stand fast and behold the salvation of your God.9
I AM the flaming Presence of sun center and I bid you enter into the heart of the flame where surrender, sacrifice, selflessness is the trinity of your divinity.
