Quietly flows the dawn. The River of Life,1 flowing from the center of Divine Being, is the quiet flowing of wisdom that is imparted from the mind of God to the mind of man.
The faculties of the senses, the points within the brain where God anchors the ideations of his mind—these are hallowed as vessels of the sacred fire.
Fire flows as water. Fire is the very essence of God. But I speak of spiritual fire, and thus the gentle murmurings of the rivers of the world point the outer consciousness to the archetypal pattern of a great Source, a great Fount of Life from whence all creation flows.
Thus the concept of flow has been released to you in some of our earlier dictations, and you have begun to realize, through your meditations upon the flow of fire, how all of life is in a state of flux.
Everywhere is change; only God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.2 And yet this sameness—it too is a transcending fire where God, that fire infolding itself, increases the Be-ness of cosmos so that man might overcome.
If God were not evolving more of himself, then man could not evolve more of God and therefore all progress in the great cosmos would cease. Thus life is ongoing, and of one thing we can be certain: Our expression of life changes from day unto day, from word unto word, from cycle unto cycle. All the way from the center of Being (which you call the Great Central Sun), down to the very atom of being within man, energy is in motion.
But there be some among the evolutions of this world and other worlds who have arrested the flow of life. These have received God’s energy without realizing that all that is received must be given so that the flow might be sustained. Those who receive without giving of the LORD’s substance create stagnation, a damming up of the River of Life, and the ensuing manifestation is death, decay, and disintegration.
Thus the Lord Christ distinguished between the quick and the dead.3 Those who are quickened are released from stagnation, and they are the ones who have become a part of the great cosmic flow in Christ—that Cosmic Christ whom Jesus so personified that he became known as “the Christ.”
It is not blasphemy to call Jesus “the Christ” any more than it is blasphemy to call John “the Christ” or James “the Christ” or Peter “the Christ.” For in the heart of every man is that Christ potential, which we do affirm this day in order to anchor this truth upon the very decibels of energy that quiver as flow across the plains, the mountains, the margents of the earth.
Thus there are those who have been quickened by the great cosmic flow. These are the freeborn. And then there are the dead, of whom Jesus said, “Ye are full of dead men’s bones.”4 For the stagnation of energy through selfishness creates a focal point for the attraction of discarnate entities that are also in a state of decay and dissolution. And thus the dead, who are filled with dead men’s bones, are filled with astral entities and darkness and therefore they do not have the mind of Christ. For the mind of Christ is the mind of God in a state of flow.
Thus you see, precious hearts, that until you let go and prime the pump of the great well of being so that you can be the recipient of the waters from the wellspring on high that result in the washing of the waters of the Word5 (the Word made manifest that dwelt among us6)—unless you allow these waters to flow through you and to flush out the debris of centuries of human striving, human pride, human fear, and human will, and you pull out the stops and let the great River of Life flow—you will be counted among the dead.
I say to you: Arise, and Christ shall give thee life!
In the spiral of being, man rises to the attainment of the inner glory. Wisdom, which we ensconce at Lake Titicaca, must be ever a part of the great flow of the River of Life. Thus mankind, bereft of that flow, become steeped in the stagnating, stultifying knowledge of the world, which is as a trinket or a bauble to the intellect. And thus men walk proudly in their worldly wisdom without understanding the wisdom of the child, the childlike consciousness that is imbued with the Christ.
I would speak to you of the golden era of the seventh root race. For by the law of cosmic flow, the LORD God Almighty ushers in the coming of the seventh age, the Aquarian age that is designed to be the fullness of the manifestation of the seventh ray of freedom, of the seventh ray of ritual that is based upon love, of ritual that comes from the divine geometry.
Not a dead ritual and not an untempered zeal is that of the priests of the sacred fire who serve under Lord Zadkiel and Holy Amethyst. It is the retreat of Lord Zadkiel and Holy Amethyst (in the etheric plane over the island of Cuba) that anchors the ray for the seventh dispensation and is the opening of the door for that seventh root race—the root race that shall come into existence under the Great Divine Director in South America and in North America.
I would speak of this golden era in order to apprise you that we are receiving applications here at Lake Titicaca from twin flames and souls united in love. These souls desire to bring forth this race of holy innocents, who shall come forth to out picture the divine consciousness of freedom.
I am therefore charging the Mother of the Flame this day to go forth to South America, ere the year has terminated, to carry the flame of freedom that shall be an action for the clearing of the way for the seventh root race. And I am enlisting the support of disciples of Christ everywhere, of devotees of the will of God, of those who pay allegiance to the divine direction of God focused through the Great Divine Director.
I enlist your support of this endeavor, and I bid you welcome to our retreat here at Lake Titicaca. For we desire that our chelas of old, who have made the pilgrimage to many lands, should come to South America to give the mantras and the invocations of light that shall pave the way for the coming of the Christ consciousness.
Many forces are arrayed against that Christ today, and Antichrist veers its head as in left- and right-wing extremes in both politics and religion. Thus Gautama Buddha taught the Middle Way, but the middle of the road is not the Middle Way. For the middle of the road is a state neither right, nor left, nor God-centered. But the Middle Way is centered in the Christ, and the Middle Way is the Eightfold Path.7 It is “eightfold” because it includes the eighth ray, which is an action of the secret rays.
We desire, then, through the energies of those in physical embodiment, to anchor certain focuses in the physical plane throughout the South American continent. And thus this day I give you the impetus of our love, the magnet of our love that will enable you to arrange the necessary plans for this journey on behalf of the Great Divine Director, on behalf of Mother Mary, and on behalf of the Holy Spirit, who lights the threefold flame in every heart at the moment of birth, when the breath of life penetrates the form and the tiny babe is anchored once again in the physical octave.
The hierarchy is concerned, we are concerned, that there be a clearing of the way. As John the Baptist came before Jesus to make straight his paths in the wilderness of the human consciousness,8 so before the coming of any great light upon earth there must be those willing to go before that light in order to “decrease” [the darkness], that the light might “increase”—to decrease the human consciousness, that the divine consciousness might appear.9
And thus we send you eating locusts and wild honey, [which John the Baptist ate while preaching in the wilderness and] which symbolize the manna that flows from God to man even in the wilderness of the dark night of the human consciousness.10
We send you forth, just as Jesus sent forth the other seventy.11 And all those who are willing to make this journey and who find that they are able, will receive illumination’s flame in wise abundance for the illumination of the golden era of the seventh root race.
I stand at Lake Titicaca even as I project the Electronic Presence of myself around this messenger, with the Goddess Meru at my side. We commend you into the service of the golden hierarchy of the sun, those Brothers of the Golden Robe and Sisters of the Golden Robe who have kept the flame of wisdom throughout the ages—ages of light, ages of darkness, ages when witchcraft and black magic prevailed, and ages when the Christ was born here or there in the human consciousness to dispel that darkness.

7. The Middle Way. In Gautama Buddha’s first sermon following his enlightenment, he outlined the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path. He explained that by following this path and avoiding the extremes of self-indulgence and self-mortification, one gains knowledge of the Middle Way.
The First Noble Truth states that life is dukkha (out-of-alignment; variously translated as suffering, pain, sorrow, discontent, imperfection, sin, evil). The Second Noble Truth states that the cause of dukkha is inordinate desire. The Third Noble Truth states that freedom from dukkha is in the attainment of Nirvana. The Fourth Noble Truth states that the way to this liberation is through the Eightfold Path.
The Eightfold Path is: Right Understanding (or Right Views); Right Aspiration (or Right Thought); Right Speech; Right Action; Right Livelihood; Right Effort; Right Mindfulness; Right Concentration (or Right Absorption).
