“I WILL BE IN THE HEART OF THE LITTLE CHILD”

New Year’s Eve Address December 31, 1979

Release of the Thought Form for the Year 1980:
“The Great Symbol of Life Begetting Life”

Hail, O Sanat Kumara, Holy Kumaras of the Flame. We are one in the universes of light. And the veil that separates the light and the dark is strewn across the cosmos as angelic hands keep the way of Life and subdue the consciousness of death.

I AM Gautama of the Buddhic flame. I have come, for you have called. And we are one. And I AM thyself in all of cosmos, in the octaves of light—and you are myself in the earth as you will to be the Buddha of special worth to each little child of my heart.

My heart expands Shamballa’s light. And as I begin to release the Word as the sound unto the sound, I amplify the threefold flame of Life in all in whom that spark does burn in the name of Sanat Kumara.

I increase the sacred breath of Shamballa that all of God’s life in these systems of worlds might increase. For I love the Father and the Father in the Son. And I love the soul who is seeking to be one with the Father and the Son. Therefore, I AM the servant of the Light. And by the Holy Spirit, I amplify that flame–always my gift to Life. Always we begin at the beginning, my beloved.

Where there is famine and war and pestilence, all manner of plague throughout these Matter spheres in the earth—lo, I AM come with a gift of Life. As I amplify the sound of the threefold flame within my children, lo, I enter the flame. And I AM the Buddha of the Light—Gautama in the heart of earth’s evolutions. So each child of my heart becomes the mirrored reflection of myself.

As above so below,
I AM Alpha and Omega—
This I know.
And because I AM the knowing within you,
A portion of God resides in the earth.

You have commented on planetary conditions during this conference, and my brethren at the Royal Teton have also studied the conditions of earth so perilous for so many in this hour.

I meditate upon Life.
I give Life.
I trust in Life.
Where Life is, there I AM.
I AM the Life of the flame.
I AM the breathing love of the flame.
I enter hearts where the candle flickers,
And I increase the light and the breath.
And the flame burns on!
And the soul awakens from its long sleep as I beckon,
“O my soul, come enter!
Enter the flame with me
For I AM Life”—so be
The Life-giving essence,
The Life-giving breath,
The Life-giving stream, my beloved.
So, my beloved, you see
That where Life is, death cannot be
Because it is not.

The solutions to earth’s problems lie not in the immediacy of the span of birth and death. As millions come and go and the spiral of the entrances and the exits continues according to the cycles of time and space, I deal with the solutions of eternity. I deal with the soul and its decision to be.

Therefore I kindle Life. I let Life burn and burn on until all of the debris of anti-Life surrounding the soul in its dormancy is consumed and, by the very presence of the sacred fire breath that I breathe into the soul, there is the quickening of consciousness. For, my beloved, did you know that consciousness is accelerated, exhilarated by the sacred fire breath?

And he breathed upon them the Holy Ghost.

The breath of Life, my beloved, is the beginning of the solutions to problems that only have their beginnings in time and space. Their endings are always in eternity.

What? Did you expect to evolve perfection in the here and now?
Expect to plant a seed.
Expect the seed to grow.
Now come.
Stand where I AM and where I know.
For the seed becomes the perfect gift of Life
In the Manchild here below
And above.

Perfection self-realized bursts asunder the bonds of time and space. The solutions you will not find in finite compartments. Resolution is the circle of infinity.

Come, then, and discover the sphere of Selfhood! You need not wish to be elsewhere. You need not will another life or circumstance. For I AM. I AM where I AM.

Feel now the burning of the flame fed by the sacred fire breath! The breath of Life feeds the flame. And the flame feeds the fire breath—even as the Mother gives Life to the Buddha in time and space, and the Buddha gives Life to the Mother in the here and now and in the inner vow to be, to be, to be!

Have no other but this vow and you will see how every incomplete spiral of earth and earth’s conditions will resolve itself. For it must resolve itself in the eternal Be-ness of thyself that we are, that I AM.

AUM. AUM.

Hush, hush, my children. Angels approach in wide rings of light from the farthest outreaches of space. Lo, lo, they come! Lo, they come. By the sound of the AUM, they come.

AUM.

When the Buddha of the flame of Shamballa in your heart sounds the AUM, it is the dissolution of time and space.

And lo! they are here.
And that which was a far-off world
Is a whirling sphere of light—
Now within, now without.
My beloved, I send the shout
Of legions of light,
Legions of light who give the shout
Victory! Victory! Victory! unto the flame.
It is the name of our game.

Life that is unreal seems so real.
And while you occupy time and space
As points of eternity—
Indeed you must,
As the noble and the just—
Place your attention upon that which seems to be,
For it is all a great drama for the testing—
The testing of your soul.

When we come into union in these hours, when the angels of light pass a taper unto other angels of light, we dwell in the aftermath of a history that in the far-distant future shall have been and will be the far-distant past. It is by the comfort flame of the Holy Spirit that we then engage in this perception of all that ever was and all that is and all that is to be as Isis unveiled where I AM.

Thus, from this God-centeredness we have no desire except to be. And in that Be-ness is a key of ongoingness as God within you desires to set all Life free! Aye, my beloved, from that God-desire we step forth from the center of Be-ness to set all Life free.

This is our ongoingness. This is a path that wends its way through the seeming time and space. And if you can but retain yourself within the eye of the flame, you will soon see how you can be both you and me and still remain—your right foot in the earth, your left foot in the heaven.

Now I come, very sober in my evaluation of life. I see clearly, my beloved, that these are hours when men and women of vision, of maturity, of self-established liberty must consider and consider well how to tell their children of what is Life and what is death, of what is heaven and what is hell, of what is here and there and where we go with life—to the right and to the left as though a deep cavern or precipice. Life is in oblivion at either side of the little child who must find his way in this darkened star.

I come to take little children by the hand—many children, millions of children, who have passed before the flame of Shamballa before entering the birth canal and the spiral of light that carries them in their downward flight to the arms of mother and father in the earth. I come to tell you that the caring for these children, nation by nation, is the link to the future of all Life in the earth—and of eternity.

If earth is to have a place, a course in time and space, it must needs be because those who have gone forth in the name of the World Teachers have seen that unless these little ones and their light and their starry Self—which is myself—be preserved, then, my beloved, the future of earth and her evolutions must be seen as very dim indeed.

My beloved, I have contemplated long upon the dilemma of Life and death that rages in the earth. I have spoken to you of the gift of Life. I have seen what I have seen. And I have seen what is my solution to the problem of earth.

Do you know, beloved ones, that our God requires that each one of us reply to the questions of Life on earth? Each one of us is required to give unto God the solution to the problem.

It is not a collective solution, although it may seem to be when you act in concerted effort. But, beloved one, the only life that you have is the single tripartite flame. The only identity you know is your own. The only life on whom you can count is the Life that is God in you. Therefore out of your heart must come the God-solution.

I will now tell you what is my solution. And then, in the office of Lord of the World, I will command you in the name of Sanat Kumara to place your solution—as personal resolution and planetary God-resolution—to the problem as you see it.

Inasmuch as the flame of God consciousness must not go out in the earth, inasmuch as the life of these little ones is imperiled by the seed of the Wicked One, inasmuch as the continuity of being hangs as a thread, a delicate thread of life—I, Gautama, do hereby decree before God and man that I shall, from this hour until earth’s victory, enter the heart of every newborn child! And there I shall seal myself in the secret chamber of the Sun behind the sun.

There I shall be the Lord of the World sealed in the heart of the little child. As it is done unto them, so shall it be counted and accounted as done unto me. <1>

Except the Lord GOD come down into the earth and inhabit the temple of these little ones, the days of their persecution will not be shortened. Therefore, my beloved, you see I can look to no other but myself. For I AM that God Self.

I therefore choose the voluntary exile of sustaining my Being within that heart. I will to be in heaven, but I will to be in the earth.

Therefore if the little child is crucified, I shall be crucified again and again. If the little child shall be aborted, I shall be aborted. And if he be loved, then I shall be loved. And all through whose hearts and heads and hands these equations of Life and death pass, so it shall be unto them as though they journeyed unto Shamballa and did unto me, the Lord of the World, what they have done unto them.

I have chosen to experience Life in the earth through this intimate communion within the heart of Life itself.

Am I not the flame of Life? Then there I will go! There I will be! I will be in the heart of the little child.

My beloved, consider when you then care for these little ones that you will be holding me in your arms of light—and you will experience that initiation of being father and mother and teacher unto the Buddha.

Please understand, my beloved, how necessary it is for me to be the Buddha where I AM. For, you see, the pain in seeing the hurt that is come upon the children of this planet could not be greater were I to remain aloof from their identity. The pain is already so great within this Buddhic consciousness that I AM, that the extension of myself in the earth is now for the benefit of all of its evolutions and for the light of the child.

I will be the Buddha. I will call home the soul. I will tarry there until the Lord God Almighty bids me rise from that tower room, from that abode of light. Some might consider it a prison house, but to me it is the cell where a soul one day may be born to be free in eternity because I AM and because you are.

Now, my beloved, I must share with you a most intimate understanding of the relationship of myself to your Mother. This Mother of yours, this Mother of mine, is always in that direct relationship of the mighty figure eight, holding the balance of my Being in the physical octave. Therefore I could not desire or contemplate the desire to be in the heart of the little child without her own awareness in the vast inner planes of her cosmic consciousness of my purpose.

Thus the Mother has said to me, “Inasmuch as I AM always where you are, my beloved Lord, I will not leave thee. I will be with thee in the heart of every little child.” Thus the Mother, the chela of the Buddha—thus the Guru/chela relationship will be sustained as the inner matrix of true Life unto every newborn soul.

Out of a mighty cosmos of our love is the soul borne into earth. And into that mighty cosmos of our figure eight will the child descend. And therefore not all the poisonous programming of Serpent and his seed will be able to erase this devotion of our hearts, which is representative of the devotion of many hearts, above and below.

Who else but the Mother of the World? She also will come and keep the flame. For to her the pain also of the suffering of the little children could not be any greater.

We must enter there,
We who care.
We must keep the flame
And guard the soul identity.

Now, my beloved, you know there is always room for one more. And you are one soul of light as you rise in consciousness and recognize that Selfhood that you are as the universal soul of all Life and yourselves as cells of that soul. As you then evolve out of the inner spheres of your God-free being the solution to Life in the earth, be mindful, then, of this option of keepers of the flame.

Keepers of the flame of Life, you who truly care, realize that tarrying in the hearts of the lifewaves who are yet in the womb waiting to be born, tarrying in their hearts until the hour of their soul liberation—this is a commitment likened unto eternity.

Beloved, I have only a single gift to give. It is the gift of Life in eternity. Understand then, understand truly the heart of a bodhisattva that will know no peace until all Life that is God returns to the God who is Life.

We who dwell in the heavens and the highest heavens unto nirvana—do you think that we can still the sound of the crying of the little child as the child has not a single Life in earth to protect it from the hand of the abortionist, the denial of father and of mother? Do you not know that in the far-off worlds the Buddhas of the Light know every cry?

Until every cry is silenced, we must bow and enter the heart of that little child. For this we can say, “Little child, you will not cry alone. We will be with you until all life does atone for this sin against thy soul who is God.”

My beloved, O my beloved, I now wait with you for the coming of the legions of Lord Sanat Kumara.

AUM.

Out of the inner spheres, out of the Great Central Sun, O my beloved, there comes the sealed light of the thought form for the year, as it is accounted in the earth, 1980. Out of the great heart of Sanat Kumara, whose heart is the chalice of Solar Logoi, whose hearts raise up the chalice unto the God of very gods—so there descends the thought form that delineates the matrix in the mind of God of that which is to be a year and a decade of integration.

The great symbol of Life begetting Life that I give to your upraised chalices from our dear Lord now appears before us as a mighty fiery figure eight. And, my beloved, it is a piercing light. And in the inner dimensions of cosmos, it is in all dimensions so spherical. And the movement of light illustrates even the very secrets of the movement of cosmos.

Suspended, then, in the upper sphere is the Madonna of the Universal Mother. She is beautiful to behold—God as Mother. And her flowing garments and her light; and the cherubim—who surround her and the billowing garments—extend gently. And in the lower figure there appears the image of the Manchild. And that Manchild is the Person of the Cosmic Christ. And lo, the fulfillment of the Almighty in this year and the symbol of Life is the coming of the Mother and the Child.

Mary and Jesus have held this archetypal symbol in the earth. Now the cosmic hour is struck when those who worship God in Spirit (the Spirit of the I AM THAT I AM of the Father) and in Truth (the Truth of the Son incarnate as the Christ Self) must worship God as Mother ennobling Life. And they must worship the Manchild in each little child and manchild.

My beloved, the Lord Sanat Kumara places before all the evolutions of earth this initiation of a cosmos:

Unless you, O earth, O lifewaves of earth, can bend the knee and confess that Mother ray and that light of the Manchild, there shall not be given unto you the Presence or the Person of God. For the Father has sent the Mother into the earth, and the Mother has delivered the Christ Child. Therefore, let the worlds be served notice that all blasphemy against the Mother and the Child will be dealt with from the Cosmic Council of Life as a signal and sign of the most intense judgment upon those individuals who desecrate the Life of the Universal Woman and her universal seed.

This sign in the earth is the foundation of the raising of the Mother life, of the raising of that flame from Lemurian altars, of the presence of Lady Venus and all ascended lady masters. It is the sign of the initiation of the feminine potential of the soul to enter the lower sphere of this divine thought form, to enter the heart of the Manchild, and there be the Buddha, be the Christ, and know the Mother flame. It is the sign that the children of earth must come into the direct Guru/chela relationship with the Universal Mother, Omega.

Omega draws closer to the Matter spheres in this hour, this day and year and decade, than the Beloved One has been for many thousands of years. Thus the change now, the alchemy in this hour of my delivery to you of the Word, is truly the new vibration of the decade.

It is here! And we say to the Mother and the Manchild, welcome, welcome! O welcome, Life begetting Life! By this sign will salvation come to earth. By this sign will judgment be implemented in the earth.

For not one, no not one life who denies this mighty interflow of creation can survive in eternity. I will leave unto the Almighty to implant the understanding of the seed of opportunity and opportunity’s cycles unto earth’s evolutions to know the Mother and to know the Manchild.

I tell you, beloved ones, this thought form of the year is in consonance with the vision of John in Revelation of the Woman clothed with the sun appearing in heaven and bringing forth the Manchild. Therefore you may also know that it is the sign when the Woman who is raised up is the Woman persecuted by the dragon. Thereby you will know it is the sign of the coming of Michael the Archangel and all of the Armageddon which follows when Serpent, the Devil and Satan, the great red dragon are cast out of the upper sphere into the lower sphere to be the testing of the souls who would enter into the heart flame of the Manchild. <2>

Understand this, my beloved—that the devil is come down having great wrath, making war with the remnant of the Woman’s seed. Understand that it is the initiation of the seed of the Woman to overcome that dragon, before that seed might truly enter into the lower sphere and be forevermore the Divine Manchild held in the arms of the Universal Mother.

O beloved children of the light, rejoice that the Lord bids you enter into these initiations. And welcome them. For your safe passage through those narrow straits will lead to the indissoluble union of your Life with the Life of the Mother. ‘Tis then, ‘tis then that God by his mighty finger will draw the larger circle of himself around Mother and Child, and the Holy Family will be sealed forevermore as the nucleus of light—Father, Mother, Son, Holy Spirit.

AUM.

Lo, I AM come into your midst. Lo, I return to the flame, nevermore to be very far removed from your perfect Self—only as far as the cry of the little child and of the heart aflame with cosmic purpose.

I bow before the Buddha and the Mother of your heart. Be sealed in the thought form of the figure eight, for by it are ye healed.
