Mrs. Prophet, when you talk about ritual, it seems that what you're really talking about is the drama of life itself. Drama is one of those elements that has been taken out of so many people's lives. Why has that happened?
I think that people have replaced the great drama of God's appearing with the melodrama of their own carnal minds parading on the stage of life. When God and Job were discoursing and God answered Job out of the whirlwind, he said:
Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
The point is: Who is man that he can stand and declare that we must eliminate ritual from the universe, when all of life is the great ritual drama of life unfolding—when, as God said, "the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy"?
Ritual is the alchemical ingredient of life. It's the chemistry whereby God becomes man and man becomes God. And this is the goal of the entire flow of creation over the magnificent figure-eight spiral of infinity whereby Spirit becomes Matter and Matter becomes Spirit continuously in the nucleus of the atom.
Mrs. Prophet, it seems to me that Shakespeare and other great playwrights were actually telling us in their dramas how to move from one plane of consciousness to the next, which sounds very much like what you describe when you talk about ritual. Is this the work of the masters themselves?
The soul needs the ritual drama of life and her meditation upon the stars to transcend the mundane and reach for the great Macrocosm of being.
It seems that on earth today people want instant religion, instant God—like instant pudding. And they want it to replace a process, an alchemical process that must include redemption, that must include the kneeling before Almighty God and confessing, "I have erred. I have gone out of the way of the Tree of Life and I desire to return. I call on the law of forgiveness and I accept the living God in the presence of his Son, the Lord Christ, as my Saviour."
God then answers our prayer with a whirlwind action of the sacred fire that is the coming of the Holy Spirit in answer to our prayer, the coming of the Comforter. The Comforter gives to us the original teaching of Jesus Christ and of the Cosmic Virgin and we learn of the science of the Word, which is our means of taking dominion over the earth.
When I go to the altar of God, I realize that that altar is a place where I may alter, or change, my consciousness through the great alchemy of the sacred fire. I know God is the Great Alchemist, even as I see him as the Great Dramatist writing the script of my life. And if I can follow this script and make my will become the will of God, wedded in the alchemical marriage of my soul's reunion with the Spirit, then I can live my life as the instrument of the LORD.
In her ritual of the rosary, Mother Mary teaches us to follow the greatest ritual drama that has ever been written and portrayed. It is the life of Jesus Christ.
In this drama we see the incarnation of the infant Child become the World Saviour. We see him putting on the consciousness of God layer by layer—passing through his initiations, giving forth the teachings and then going through the great betrayal, the crucifixion and the ultimate glory.
There is no finer rendition by any dramatist anywhere of the metamorphosis that must occur whereby that which is conceived of the "earth, earthy" becomes the living Son of God—from the first man, Adam, to the last man, Christ, the Son who is the Real Self of each and every son and daughter of God.
Mrs. Prophet, would you explain exactly how giving the rosary performs this ritual?
The rosary is our soul's meditation upon God as we rise to the level of the Christ within the heart.
And we meditate alternately upon Mary the Mother as the focal point of our own incarnation of the Motherhood of God and upon Jesus Christ for our realization of the fullness of that divine Sonship within us. Through the Mother and the Son we reach the Father, and in the Father we are reborn according to his immaculate design.
The rosary, then, is for the balance of the masculine and feminine polarity of being. And this is achieved by our contemplation of the life and the experiences of Jesus simultaneously as we give the adoration of the Hail Mary. The Hail Mary invokes the flame of Mother within.
Our meditation upon the events in the life of Jesus and the stations of the cross enables us to also pass through the experiences that Jesus passed through and therefore to participate in this drama—to become the drama with him, walking the stations of the cross and thereby to have a reenactment by God within us of these most sacred events in Jesus’ life, which is to become our very own life.
When we finally are able to totally equate with the life of Mary and Jesus and other saints, then we ourselves will be able to put on their consciousness of victory, of the resurrection and of the ascension.
As we are willing to enter this path—which is called the path of initiation because our souls are being initiated—Mary and Jesus, the hosts of the Lord, Archangel Michael and the angels come to us each day.
And each day becomes a little ritual whereby we are given a lesson, a very important lesson in cosmic law, through a circumstance in our life created by our own karma.
We no sooner conclude our rosary in the morning than we are beset with all of the problems of the day and the challenges that life joyously presents to us.
We do not walk the via dolorosa because we are not sad. We are not in a sinful sense. We are not in a sense of shame. But we are in a sense of glory because from glory unto glory we know that we are putting on the consciousness of God.
How does the rosary begin?
Well, it begins with the sign of the cross, which is a mystical sign whereby we realize that God the Father, God the Mother, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are the four points of the cross on which Jesus was crucified.
This cross is the symbol of man, the incarnation of God. It also is the symbol of the energies of Spirit descending (the vertical bar) to the plane of matter (the horizontal bar).
And so we make the sign of the cross: "In the name of the Father and of the Mother and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen."
In the name of God, then, we dedicate our ritual of the rosary to our putting on that life becoming life. It is in the name of God that we give this meditation.
The first prayer that Mother Mary has made a part of this ritual of the rosary—the Keeper’s Daily Prayer is given as we hold the cross.
The Keeper’s Daily Prayer
A Flame is Active—
A Flame is Vital—
A Flame is Eternal.
I AM a God Flame of radiant Love
From the very Heart of God
In the Great Central Sun,
Descending from the Master of Life!
I AM charged now
With beloved Helios and Vesta’s
Supreme God Consciousness
And Solar Awareness.
Pilgrim upon earth,
I AM walking daily the way
Of the Ascended Masters’ Victory
That leads to my eternal Freedom
By the power of the sacred fire
This day and always,
Continually made manifest
In my thoughts, feelings, and immediate awareness,
Transcending and transmuting
All the elements of earth
Within my four lower bodies
And freeing me by the power of the sacred fire
From those misqualified foci of energy
within my being.
I AM set free right now from all that binds
By and through the currents of the Divine Flame
Of the sacred fire itself,
Whose ascending action makes me
God in manifestation,
God in action,
God by direction and
God in consciousness!
I AM an active Flame!
I AM a vital Flame!
I AM an eternal Flame!
I AM an expanding fire spark
From the Great Central Sun
Drawing to me now every ray
Of divine energy which I need
And which can never be requalified by the human
And flooding me with the Light
And God illumination of a thousand suns
To take dominion and rule supreme forever
Everywhere I AM!
Where I AM, there God is also.
Unseparated forever I remain,
Increasing my Light
By the smile of his radiance,
The fullness of his Love,
The omniscience of his Wisdom,
And the power of his Life eternal,
Which automatically raises me
On ascension’s wings of Victory
That shall return me to the Heart of God
From whence in Truth
I AM come to do God’s Will
And manifest abundant Life to all!
Beloved sons and daughters of God who are listening today, each time you give this daily prayer, you are entering into the ritual of God whereby life within you is becoming more of that life which is the life universal and triumphant. God bless you.
