The First Resurrection and
the Second Resurrection
Part 1
How holy are thy acclamations, O God! How holy are thy approbations offered unto this generation of souls assuming the mantle of the light of Christ!
I AM come in the flaming Spirit of the Resurrection! I AM the Spirit of the Resurrection! I come at the approach of winter solstice that you might put on the fires of winter in anticipation of the garb of the spring.
Let resurrection’s fires now bring to you the light in the midst of the darkness that is for the infiring of the soul with that mother-of-pearl causal body of light, which is the gift of the resurrection unto you through the birth of the Christ Child.
I bring the resurrection flame so that you might stand in the place of him who overcame hell and death in your behalf, that you might stand in the presence of the resurrection, that you might stand, then, and behold face-to-face the angels who sang to him and who were the coordinates of the sacred fire of the alchemical victory of life over death.
I stand in the Presence of our God! I stand in the presence of the sacred fire! I deliver to you who would be reborn the miracle of rebirth, that resurrection flame that comes on Easter morn, the day when you come forth from the tomb of darkness.
I speak to you, then, of the first resurrection and of the second resurrection. I speak to you of your emergence from the world of darkness and your coming into the light as your first resurrection on the day when you declare, “This day I AM born of God! I AM a son of God! I AM in the flame of God and I know who I AM!” This is your resurrection from the tomb of death and darkness and of the false generations of the worldly ones!
On this day of days, then, when you accept that new birth in resurrection’s fires, you begin the path of initiation. You begin the way that leads to the second resurrection, after which you will have then put on that garment that will enable you to stand in the presence of Luxor and the priests of the sacred fire in preparation for your ascension in the light.
People of God, I call to you everywhere on earth! I call to you wherever you are in consciousness! I send forth the call of the LORD God, “Adam, where art thou?1 Where art thou, O mankind?”
I send forth the radiation of the resurrection and I charge the very heart chakra of this messenger with the fires of the resurrection borne unto the New Day, that she might bear them as that fountain of light for all who seek that second resurrection through the path of initiation.
So are the fires of God come unto mankind in this age through the emissaries of the LORD’s Spirit, who speak to all in the flaming Presence of the I AM THAT I AM and in the still small voice within.
You can read the Word of God in this age as many among mankind have not read that Word for aeons! You can pursue that Word in what you call “group dynamics,” in the giving forth by the science of the spoken Word the energies of God that are for your confirmation in the Spirit of the Resurrection!
There be some who come into our midst and into the teachings of Christ, which we bear, yet they do not accept that first resurrection. They tarry for a while and they toy with the teaching, and then they leave their toys for other toys, as they have done over and over again.
Well, you have heard it said that God is a baby in a playpen. I can assure you that there are those things that ought to be toys and that can become the toys of the gods, and there are those things that ought to become those precious pearls and sacred gems of light, which you do not cast before swine but which you take into the very soul and Christ-center of being.
You do not expose these sacred gems of light to the aggressive nature of your own consciousness or to the resistance within the carnal mind to the coming of truth, but you guard them in solitude and in meditation, in the hour of prayer and communion, and you keep them wrapped in that white napkin, safe and secure while the soul in Christ goes forth to do battle with Goliath once again.
Do you fear to be David? Do you fear to be Isaiah and Jeremiah? Do you fear to be Christ or Buddha?
I tell you, this is the game of role-playing that life is—that you become all things and thereby know him as he is, that you gain the identity of the saints and ascended beings by walking in their footsteps, by wearing the mantle of their momentum of consciousness.
Fear not, then, to take on the mantle of Elijah and John the Baptist,2 for in this one is the oneness of the flame of overcoming and of the going before and the preparing of the way of the Christed ones. You must all prepare the way—prepare the way for the coming into the temple of being of your own Christ Self!
Why does he not come forth and reign? If you accept the reign of the Prince of Peace, then I say, why is it not so within you?
I say, it is because you have not made straight his paths. He comes as a flow of consciousness and as the flowing stream of the mind of God. Have you cleared the channels of consciousness? Have you opened the door and have you burst forth in singing the joy and the thanksgiving and the praise to the LORD God?
I say, prepare ye the way! Make straight his paths!3 For the LORD God of hosts is his name. He stands hovering in your midst to enter into the temple. Prepare ye the way! Prepare ye the way and cast out the moneychangers from the temple!
See that you do not make this house—which is the house of God, your very own living temple of consciousness and being, your very own place of abode for this evolution in time and space—see that you do not make it, then, a den of thieves or the habitation of the fallen ones or of the discarnates so that it will be spoken of you by the Lord Christ, “Ye are full of dead men’s bones.”4 Let him not come, then, to the judgment and the casting out of darkness, but let him come, then, to the place filled with light!
In this age we seek those who will welcome the Lord Christ and the heavenly hosts into the New Jerusalem. Going before the way with the angels, you become the evangels. You become the evangelists who clear the way for the presence of the Lord within every temple of life.
Respond, then, to the Spirit of the Resurrection! Accept, then, that light this day, which gives forth the decree, “Come out from among them and be a separate people!”5 Accept your rebirth by the mighty current of energy of the Great Central Sun that I bring. For I tell you, mankind ought to ride the crest of the wave and not stand by gingerly and watch the wave go by and say, “Oh, a mighty wave has gone by this day!” I say, why are you not riding the wave?
Let us not, then, watch as the cosmic currents come and go, lest you be found standing on the beach of life when all has passed and the evolutions of this dispensation are already in the rapture of the rising fires of the Holy Spirit.
I AM come in the Spirit of the Resurrection, and there is a quaking in my coming as the very elements of the earth do quake and the very atoms and molecules of your beings do shake. I say, the coming of that fire and that Spirit is to flush out the darkness and to forge that mighty light of faith—that faith of Archangel Michael that you have taken to claim as your own.
I speak directly to you, students of the light, students of Summit University! Some of you have sought to retain those momentums of the world and yet to put on the satin garments of the teaching. I say, the soiled garments beneath will come through! They will spot the outer garment! And by and by you will see that that garment of satin is no longer the pure white light but it is tainted and misqualified and spotted with that substance that you have held very close to your skin. I say, then, be rid also of the undergarment that you have failed to surrender!
I must speak to you in the name of the Mother and in the name of Archangel Michael. The LORD God does behold to the very core of creation. If you have come forth to surrender, then I say, surrender! If you have not come forth to surrender, then I say, why come forth at all? For you see, the old man must be put off—not partly but entirely—that the new man can be put on.6
I come, then, before the way of Archangel Michael and of Saint Germain, who will come to seal you in the spirals of these twelve weeks of initiation [at Summit University].
Understand, then, that the sealing of your life in that fire will not take place when you stand back—when you stand back watching, watching as the Watchers instead of imbibing the great truth as children of God.
Do not stand back, then, with arms folded, watching the children of God, seeing how they are coming into the light. But come into the light yourself and let the Spirit of the Resurrection consume that rebellion, that obstinacy, and that substance that resists what? It is the resistance of your own Great God Self, the Great I AM that is the healer of nations, that is the sacred fire to purge mankind of the darkness in this age.
The question is not only to be or not to be, but it is this: Would you or would you not be the instruments of salvation? Would you or would you not be the deliverers of the divine documents unto the nations?
I say, therefore, the time of choosing to be or not to be is passed! We have all chosen to be, and to be one in the flame. Let us be up and doing and seeing what “be-ness” means. Be-ness, then, is not a static condition. It is the action of the Law! It is the infiring of the Law in life! It is sending forth the energy of God!
