How does the rosary help us get back to the one source of all life?
Mrs. Prophet, How does someone prepare to play a role as important as that which Mother Mary played in ensouling the Mother flame for a planet?
The preparation of the soul of Mary began in heaven, where she evolved for aeons of cycles in God’s own consciousness, increasing her awareness of God as Mother. Then came the moment when she was called before Alpha and Omega and sent forth to embody, to incarnate, among earth’s evolutions. From that hour she was preparing on earth through a number of lifetimes for the moment when she would incarnate in her final embodiment to be the mother of Jesus.
We see that Mother Mary was embodied on Atlantis, where she served in the Temple of Truth as a priestess of the Most High God. There she tended the fires of the Fifth Ray, that green ray of healing, of truth and of the immaculate concept. There Mother Mary brought forth into the planes of matter her soul’s inner attainment, which she had achieved through thousands and thousands of years of her service in heaven.
As she worked with the laws governing the flow of God’s energy from the planes of Spirit to matter, she learned in her outer consciousness what her soul already knew—that all disease, decay and death are caused by an arresting of the flow of light at some point in the four lower bodies of man and that this clogging of energy results from his misuse of the sacred fire with its attendant karma.
She also learned by her own experimentation in this laboratory of truth—for such was the ancient temple of Atlantis—that the cure for disease is the harmonization of the flow through the light centers in the lower bodies. She also learned that the reversal of the processes of death and decay is effected by the initiation of spirals of the resurrection flame within the chalice, or the center, of the heart.
We find, then, that Mother Mary is not the exception but that she is the rule of the evolution of the sons and daughters of God on earth and on other planets in this system of worlds. We all come with a mission, with a calling from God.
We have heard of Mother Mary going before our Father-Mother, Alpha and Omega. We must realize that we also have been called before the great throne of Alpha and Omega and that we have been given an assignment and a mission on one of the seven rays. For that purpose we also have taken incarnation perhaps hundreds and thousands of years ago on Lemuria or on Atlantis. We began to incarnate and to serve on that ray in a position of service that would prepare us for the fulfillment of our mission in this age.
Now, in the Aquarian age, we as sons and daughters of God are called together to fulfill our vows, but many of us have lost the memory of the vow and of the inner experience with our Father-Mother God. We hardly remember that God is real or personable or that we can even talk to God.
And so Mother Mary comes to remind us—not to tell us that she is separated from us, that she is a goddess out of reach because somehow she is an exception to the rule of life on earth. She shows us that she has incarnated again and again and faced the same struggles and the trials of overcoming. And yet Mother Mary, proving the way of victory, kept her soul inviolate and pure that she might receive Jesus Christ in the hour of his appointed coming for the Piscean dispensation.
In the lifetime that Mother Mary was to be the mother of Jesus, she was born to Anna and Joachim. Her father and mother were members of the Essene community. They were vegetarians. They were schooled in the disciplines of the inner retreats of the Great White Brotherhood and they consecrated their lives to God.
In their old age, after having prayed many years for a child, Anna and Joachim received a visitation from Archangel Gabriel. He appeared to each one to tell them that they would give birth to this blessed child, a daughter who in turn would become the mother of the Christed One, the avatar of the age.
So Mother Mary was born to them. And when she was three years old she was consecrated in the temple, there to become a student of the sacred mysteries.
It is said that her parents placed her on the first of fifteen stairs representing the initiations of the psalms of degrees (Psalms 120-134). She climbed the fifteen stairs one right after the other, showing that her soul had already passed these initiations in other lifetimes.
Were Mother Mary's parents chosen because of the rigorous life they led?
The rituals that were practiced by Anna and Joachim were by no means the reason that they were chosen. These practices were but the outer manifestation of their souls' inner commitment already made before the throne of Almighty God.
It is not practices or mechanical observances of prayer and ritual that give us the consciousness (or the 'kingdom') of God but rather that from the beginning we have chosen to be the will of God and we have responded to that will. The natural flow of our devotion to God that is manifest in spiritual exercises is but a sign of the inner calling. Outer practices and rituals cannot compensate for the human will that has not surrendered to the divine will.
Did Mary have any embodiments in between the time that she embodied on Atlantis and the time she embodied as the mother of Jesus?
I have noted in the book Mary's Message For A New Day (formerly My Soul Doth Magnify the Lord!) a number of Mary's incarnations. One of the most outstanding was in the days of the prophet Samuel, when Mary was called of the LORD to be the wife of Jesse and the mother of his eight sons.
Ever striving to fulfill her role in the Mother ray, Mary in this incarnation of her soul on earth magnified the light of the seven rays of the Christ in the first seven sons of Jesse. And in the youngest, David, she glorified not only the full complement of virtues of the seven rays but also the majesty and mastery of the eighth ray, which David exemplified in his reign and extolled in his psalms.
In the descent of our spiritual lineage, then, we find that the same flame of the Motherhood of God sponsored the Judaic tradition as sponsored the Christian dispensation. This once again teaches us that all rays of God in manifestation as the masculine and the feminine principles of life lead back to the One Source, the life, the all of our being.
How does the rosary help us get back to this source?
The rosary is a balanced meditation on the masculine and feminine principles of life, on the Father and Mother energies within us, and thus it is a meditation on the cosmic caduceus. The goal of prayer and of the ritual of the rosary is to balance these energies, these cosmic forces within man and woman.
When we succeed in balancing these forces, we can attain to a state of wholeness; and in wholeness we can contact our Father-Mother God. No matter what our religion, the prayers of East and West, of every church and every calling are for this goal: the return to oneness, to wholeness.
In the rosary we give the Our Father for contact with God the Father and we give the Hail Mary for contact with God the Mother. One of the prayers that is given before the five mysteries of the rosary begin is the Call to the Fire Breath.
This Call to the Fire Breath of God is a call to the Holy Spirit manifest through Alpha and Omega. It is for the balancing of the elements of fire, air, water and earth in the four lower bodies and for the setting of the soul in balanced contact with its own divine counterpart, the I AM THAT I AM.
After taking a deep breath, you give the decree. This is how it goes:
Call to the Fire Breath
I AM, I AM, I AM the Fire Breath of God
From the heart of beloved Alpha and Omega.
This day I AM the Immaculate Concept
In expression everywhere I move.
Now I AM full of Joy,
For now I AM the full expression of Divine Love.
My beloved I AM Presence,
Seal me now within the very heart
Of the expanding Fire Breath of God.
Let its purity, wholeness, and love
Manifest everywhere I AM today and forever.
I accept this done right now with full power!
I AM this done right now with full power!
I AM, I AM, I AM God Life expressing Perfection
All ways at all times.
This which I call forth for myself
I call forth for every man, woman and child on this planet.
When we give this call we are mindful of the words of Jesus "Whatsoever ye ask the Father in my name that will he give you." And so we have the absolute conviction that because we make this call to the fire breath in the name of Jesus Christ, in the name of Mary the Mother, it does manifest for every man, woman and child upon this planet.
This is the universal power of the science of the spoken Word that Jesus taught us and that we can demonstrate daily in this sacred ritual of the rosary of Mother Mary.
