Messenger’s Invocations and Scriptural Reading:
O Threefold Flame of Shamballa,
Burn On in the Living Flame of Our Witness!
In the name of the light of God that never fails, beloved Lord Alpha and Omega, we come before thy altar in the Great Central Sun in the name of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, Saint Germain, in the name of the Archeia Mother Mary, in the name of the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood ascended and unascended, worlds without end. We present ourselves the living sacrifice, bearing willingly in this hour the burden of the LORD.
We call forth thy light, O God. Assist us now. Accelerate this threefold flame that is thy gift upon the altar of our hearts. Accelerate the Christ flame within us, the flame of Mother Liberty, that we might hold the balance until every wrong is righted in the Middle East, until there is the raising up of the Christ standard and the bending of the knee before thy living Son.
We ignite these threefold flames by the authority of thy Word within us. Let these token flames burn on as the symbol of thy gift of life to earth and the freewill, co-creative choice it gives unto us to be with Thee and with Elohim, to be with Thee and archangels and the Maha Chohan and the chohans of the rays.
O threefold flame of Shamballa, of Sanat Kumara, Gautama Buddha, Lord Maitreya, and Lord Jesus, burn on in the living flame of our witness! Burn on, O mighty sacred fire! Let thy will be done in us daily. Let the compelling action of the threefold flame expanding now so expand so that each one who bears upon him an increase of world weight may also have the increase of the unfailing light of God. Expand, expand, expand, O mighty threefold flame within our hearts! Expand in our living witness.
Beloved Lord Maitreya and Cosmic Christs, come forth for the upliftment of all the race. O Great Silent Watcher and Elohim Cyclopea, carve within us now the perfect image of the Christed One. Seal us now in the light of Vaivasvata Manu, Lord Himalaya and the God and Goddess Meru, and the Great Divine Director. Seal us now, O living Word! Light of God that never fails, seal us in thy immaculate victory!
I call for the veil of the Cosmic Virgin. I call for the sword Excalibur. I call for the crowning rose. I call for the shield of faith, and I call for the helmet of righteousness. Protect and seal these who have made themselves a part of the armies of the LORD.
O how we love them, God. Amplify our love, that this love might be the fertile soil, the dewdrop and the rain, the sunshine and the joy that allows them to grow and expand and become the fullness of that God flame.
O crowning rose, crown us all with the great victory of thy light.
We Receive the Reinforcements of Our Cosmic Christs
Let us turn to our new songbook, number 42. We sing to the “Cosmic Christs of Other Spheres.” Each one of us has been promised the reinforcement of one Cosmic Christ, as we have volunteered to bear the burden of the laggard evolutions and of world karma. <1> Let us stand and with great rejoicing receive these wondrous beings of light who come to reinforce our commitment to the salvation of this planet.
All-Seeing Eye of God
for the Vision of Our Fiery Destiny
In the name of the light of God that never fails, I call forth the intense action of beloved Elohim Cyclopea. I call forth the great expansion of the God flame.
I call forth the light of ten thousand suns—Elohim of God and Great Silent Watchers holding the immaculate concept with the Cosmic Christ for our lifewave, for our evolution, for the root races of planet Earth, for the I AM Race of Sanat Kumara in whom there dwells the Mighty I AM Presence and threefold flame.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, in the name of the Mother, I invoke the presence here of the Seven Holy Kumaras, Mighty Victory and legions of light, beloved Omri-Tas and 144,000 priests of the sacred fire from the very heart of the violet planet. I call forth the action now!
Blaze the light of Elohim Cyclopea! Blaze the light of the All-Seeing Eye of God for the vision of our fiery destiny! I call forth the vision of our fiery destiny now. I call it forth in the name of the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood and the World Mother.
And let it be done in the name I AM THAT I AM. Amen.
The Word of the LORD unto Ezekiel the Priest
|
|
Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin’s captivity, The word of the LORD—the word of the I AMTHAT I AM Sanat Kumara—came expressly unto Ezekielthe priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was there upon him.... And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee. And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me. And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day. For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORDGod—I AM THAT I AM Elohim. And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear (for they are a rebellious house), yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them. And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house. And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious. But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee. And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein; And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe. |
Ezekiel 1:1-3; 2:1-10
Dictation:
In the name Elohim, I AM come, the visitor of the All-Seeing Eye of God. You know me as Cyclopea, fulfilling the office of the Great Silent Watcher, embodying the all-knowing, all-consuming Presence whereby, in the Eye of God, you are held in the immaculate victory of your own Cosmic Christ Person, the beloved and most holy Christ Self.
This Christ Self, you must well acknowledge, is a cosmic being and connected by the mighty threefold flame with all ascended beings who have attained to the point of the inner and outer realization of a Cosmic Christ consciousness. So will you be counted among those of this level of attainment when your own personal Christhood includes your individual self-awareness in and as Cosmos.
You are now on the personal path of Christhood, seeking to maintain twenty-four hours a day your individual representation and assimilation of that Christ Person. Your world, then, becomes the activity of the light extending from your heart three feet in all directions, then, ideally, nine feet, in concentrated white-fire essence and the threefold flame of Liberty.
Thus, as you give your invocations and songs, meditations and implorations to your personal Christ Self, it ought to be accompanied with the visualization of intense white fire emanating from your God Presence, descending over the crystal cord, and amplified by your Christ Self just above you, bursting forth as white fire and expanding to include this ovoid of the fiery sun presence that you are intended to be always on planet Earth.
When you make your pilgrimage to the Will of God Focus at the Ashram of the World Mother in Los Angeles following this conference, I ask you to stand there in that focus of the Cosmic Egg, before the Lord Jesus Christ, and to recognize him as the archetype—yea, the living presence of your own personal Saviour. <2> Then you may see the visualization of yourself in the center, with him as the Cosmic Christ, the personal Christ—the extension of your aura as the filling of all the room and all of the house with the light of God that will not fail to illumine your aura if you live to make the call.
Then you will see how your aura is now a room of light and there is room for others to come into the shelter of your ovoid, and you yourself are a focus of the will of God and of the Cosmic Christ with you, who would stand with you and in you and multiply your effort in holding the balance of world karma, of world peace, and of world harmony.
As you look into the very face of this statue of Jesus Christ that turns ever so slowly in the center of that focus, now assign to that figure the person of the Cosmic Christ ever with you. And as you stand just to the side of that one, you are perpetually and always the devotee of that Christ in the person of your Christ Self, in the person of Jesus the Christ, and in the person of the unnamed one, the Cosmic Christ who bears with him or with her (as the androgynous One, Alpha and Omega, is embodied in that Cosmic Christ) always the protection, the image, the light, and the very forcefield of Maitreya Guru. Therefore, you can see the principle Son Presence of the Cosmic Christ with you, multiplied by Jesus and your Christ Self, and you can see yourself as the disciple of this trinity of Christhood that defines the planes of your own ongoing attainment.
Blessed hearts, this is a most important ritual. And I call to your attention these selections of songs and decrees, all concentrating on the development of the threefold flame. <3> For a flame is a chalice of consciousness. When you speak about the Christ consciousness, you are speaking about the quality of the flame of Christ embodied individually by each and every disciple. Therefore, you might say the flavor of each one’s personal Christ consciousness is a little bit different according to the accent, the accentuation, and the acceleration by free will of certain virtues of that personal Christ.
But all must hold in balance the trinity of power, wisdom, and love. By that trinity you will have the foundation to sustain whatever quality of God you deem most important, most worthy, most necessary in your lifestream, in your world, in your cosmic ovoid—that you hold that flame and hold that vibration come what may, so that you are always contributing this color in the stained-glass window of life for all the world.
For the very purposes of self-discipline, I recommend that you select one quality of God—almost any quality. And then remember it, study it, look it up, see wherever it is spoken of or taught about by the masters in all of their teachings and in the sacred scriptures East and West, see how the saints have embodied that quality, and make yourself a living master of that single flame. Blessed ones, whether it be faith or hope or charity or compassion, harmony, vision, the rectitude of the law, I pray that you balance that quality with the threefold flame, for only thereby can it come into the full flowering of its inherent potential.
When you think of Archangel Michael, you immediately think of the flame of faith. Now faith, when first thought of, seems to be a very simple quality and a simple vibration. And you may say, “Well, I have faith. That is very easy.” But when you think again of the ramifications of that single quality, when you think of electrons and atoms that hold the very foundation of skyscrapers, or the white-fire core holding the magnet of Earth planet, when you think of the winds and you think of the stars, the nucleus of faith is the very principle that sustains the Matter universe.
You can understand, therefore, how an archangel would multiply and amplify the single quality of faith until it includes, by its very completeness, every other quality of the will of God, every other quality of the wisdom of God, every other quality of the love of God and all of the seven rays and mighty Cosmos’ secret rays! Realize that any single quality of the archangels and the archeiai is the open door to Cosmic Christ consciousness. By faith, therefore, master science, master religion, master healing and the healing arts, master the path of architecture, master engineering.
So, on and on and on you can see, whether it is faith or hope or charity, whether it is love in its purest essence, whether it is the fire of compassion, you will understand that virtue, as a flame of living purity, is a fragment of life, is a dewdrop, is a sunbeam itself through which all of the consciousness of God may be viewed.
I commend you to the keeping of a single virtue; for you see, when you try to play too many pieces on the piano, you wind up not playing any one to perfection. We desire to have a single note of perfection struck by each and every one of you.
Now, some of you have enjoyed the game of playing songs with bottles filled at varying levels of water, so that in an entire song it is yours to play only one note. And it is important that your note comes in on time. And with the sacred fire breath and the perfect poising of the lips, you have the perfect flow of air to make the perfect sound. Thus, you become the instrument of the note—not by the mere presence of the level of the water, but by the technique of using your own four lower bodies and free will for the sounding of the sound to the rhythm of the whole.
This is a very good exercise for the little children to understand the meaning of community, the interdependency of all life, for it builds to a cosmic interdependence of the entire hierarchy of the Great White Brotherhood and enables the little child to understand how necessary is the single note. For when it is not played, there is simply a space, a vacuum instead of a decision to be and to be whole and to be manifest.
Now, it is not enough to make the decision to be whole. It is necessary that one decide to be whole within the context of every other person’s wholeness. For we have no value except against the backdrop of the infinite expression of Elohim of God! Look all around you. Look at the mighty strength in each individual in this room. If each individual could find that strength and accelerate it and make his mark in life, in the Spirit/Matter cosmos, by the power of the threefold flame, its wisdom, and its love, you would see unascended masters freely walking within this community.
Therefore, man, woman, and child: Know thyself, and know that the development of thy individual self-mastery is not a private affair. It is that note that must be struck for the chord of the whole mystical body of God, as the Church Universal and Triumphant, to sound the sound of the incoming great golden age.
Blessed ones, there are, of course, ascended masters and cosmic beings who have become the virtuosos of a number of notes and songs and symphonies, as you can imagine the complexity of the attainment of the Cosmic Christs. Therefore, in the hour of great need, in the hour of the salvation of a planet and the winning of souls to the victory, they accept the assignment of their own God flame that is in tune with the whole. And they understand simultaneously, by the law of God-harmony, what is the note that is needed, what is the note which none other among the earth’s evolutions has sounded. And therefore, by their virtuosity, they may sound that note and do so willingly. And therefore, their preference is certainly a personal preference, but it is based upon the enlightenment of what is the greatest need within the community of the Holy Spirit.
Now, you can understand, as the Goddess of Liberty made known to you, that until this hour the greatest need of the embodied messenger was to hold the balance of light against the entire race of fallen ones on the planetary body. And therefore, though other talents may be present or dormant, this one note had to be sounded again and again and again, sounding the note hour after hour for the keeping of the flame.
Therefore, blessed hearts of light, when others hear that note and become students of that sound and are able to imitate the sound and finally bring it forth in full dimension—as you are arriving at that point of mastery—then the one that held the note may perhaps play another note that will be the step-up, the acceleration for all other notes to move into a higher octave.
This is the nature of the one who holds the nucleus of the mandala of light—the sounding of the keynote for the whole sphere of Christed ones, of millions of souls, holding a mandala of light. And therefore, understand that in this hour we are also stepping up a new note and a new sound that shall henceforth emanate from the heart of the messenger, as you come into position with your own rhythmic chord of life.
Thus, the sounding of this new note I bring, for I AM the Elohim of music. And Lanello is with me, and we are one, superimposed by our Electronic Presence over the forcefield and temple of the unascended messenger. And we are accelerating that point of the heart flame, that there might go forth a new sound. And the new sound will precipitate the new song that shall be sung by the Lamb and the hundred and forty and four thousand on the Mount Zion! <4>
And that mount is the point of each one’s own I AM Presence. It is the ion of light and the mighty Z-ray which contains the power of Alpha unto Omega, as above, so below! Note the line of the Z. So the plane of Spirit is the horizontal bar above and the plane of Matter is the horizontal bar below, and the slanting vertical bar connecting the two denotes what is the instantaneous and mighty action of the Z-ray.
So many have drawn the lightning as a Z-ray continuously descending. And they have rightfully perceived the action of lightning itself, for it is to convey a certain fohatic light even in the physical dimension whereby there descends from Spirit’s octaves into Matter the pure light of Alpha and Omega for the realignment of molecules of earth, air, fire, and water.
Understand, then, that the sounding of the note is for the sounding of the chord of Zion, as there comes forth now in this moment out of this mandala, out of each one’s own I AM Presence, the new note of divine harmony that will also resound through the chord of your own seven chakras and out of the secret chamber of the heart. For that new note is released by the Cosmic Christ, by the Lord Jesus Christ, by your own Christ Self in a trinity of manifestation as you yourself perceive yourself within the universe of your own world.
Therefore, that note is a sounding of the tone whereby this body of God, the members of this church, shall constitute that mandala for the holding of the balance of the laggards and the laggard evolution and the fallen ones that are in every race and nation upon the earth and particularly concentrated in the Middle East. I call, therefore, for the sounding of the mighty sound by Elohim, that you might be now attuned to that new note of your forward progress by the mighty figure-eight flow into the eighties and beyond for the victory of planet Earth.
[Intonations]
The lower tones of the earth must be sounded for elemental life and the very vibration of the earth itself.
[Intonation]
The sounding of the water and the wind and the fire in the heart thereof.
[Intonation]
I would remind you, as you embark upon a new era of co-creativity with Elohim, that over the past twenty-one years and beyond, there have been given to you simple exercises for your protection, for your harmony, for the expansion of the light, and for the ongoing initiations of the Path. Hearken back to the very first lessons. Restudy the Keeper of the Flame releases. Remember the “Call to the Fire Breath,” Djwal Kul’s exercise, and the hurling of the sphere of light from your heart. <5>
Remember, we have approved and advocated various systems of yoga for the maintenance of the rhythm of the flow of life. When these are combined with the four-point breathing exercise and the visualization of the threefold flame for the light to flow in the chakras, the rhythm of yoga, the rhythm of the dynamic decree, right diet, exercise, and a facing of the sun once a day for ten minutes as you give the call to Helios and Vesta (taking care not to expose the eyes to the direct glare of the sun) will give you the contact to a mighty reservoir of light in the heart of Helios and Vesta that is the balancing action for this solar system.
After all, though you bear the burden of the LORD, remember that world karma is the LORD’s burden and not the burden of your outer self. The outer self is merely the focal point for transmutation and balance, that the physical earth body and the four lower bodies of her evolutions might transcend the lesser state.
The LORD in you is Christ—the Christ Self, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Cosmic Christ. Therefore, the trinity of this LORD with you, the Immanuel, ‘God with us’, is the LORD. And the LORD bears his burden. The LORD bears the burden of light, and the LORD bears the burden of anti-light. And you stand in the heart of the LORD and you declare:
Lo, I AM THAT I AM!
Lo, I AM THAT I AM!
Lo, I AM the Christ incarnate!
Lo, I AM the bearer of the threefold flame of my LORD!
And my burden is light! light! light!
And into this light, this whirling vortex, there now pours the entire momentum of world karma of the laggards and their evolutions.
And therefore, it is consumed by sacred fire!
It is no more!
And the consciousness that determines to sustain the anti-light and the misqualification of light is now judged by the Light, judged by my Christ Self, by the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Cosmic Christ!
And therefore, in that moment you give the judgment call to all forces and forcefields that fail to submit to the Light when the untransmuted substance flows into the light and is transmuted.
Therefore, you see, you make the demand in the earth and you give forth the mandate that the consciousness behind the misqualified energy of hate and hate creation now must either bend the knee and begin to so qualify that light in purity or else stand before the judgment of the triple action of your own individual and personal Christhood which you must daily claim! For you do not desire to be found outside of harmony with your own point of Light and Christhood. And you dare not now indulge in undisciplined ways and find yourself on the outside of your own world and Will of God Focus.
For you need the aura—you need the aura of the trinity of your Christhood. You need that space and that white fire. And therefore, it is become your universe. And you conceive of yourself as being tied by a mighty umbilical cord to your own Christhood, and you may come and go within this universe that you create.
Nine feet extending out from your threefold flame—that is your area of safe occupation. And wherever you go, you occupy your world. It is your suit in time and space, the space/time suit into which the light has descended because your heart is ensconced in physical dimension and in a physical body temple, and therefore you have chosen by free will to give to God the authority of the Word to coalesce around and in your temple this cosmic light!
And therefore, you see, the entire matter is an affair of the heart and of free will. And this entire Matter universe becomes superimposed with the Spirit universe, which is the aura of the Cosmic Christ, Jesus Christ, and your own Christ Self. Therefore your aura—the willing vessel, the negative polarity that magnetizes Christ—is now become the aura of the Christed Ones. And there is no differentiation, for one is superimposed upon the other because of your freewill expression as God-harmony, God-gratitude, and God-affirmation that I AM WHO I AM.
And therefore, you see, Alpha and Omega, the plus and minus auras, are one. And you are experiencing the androgynous whole of the Father/Mother God, and you experience all of the masculine and feminine qualities of being that are yours and yours to inherit, to inhabit, to be, to become, and to fulfill. And all things are possible in you because God is in you and he is the grand possibility of every expression of your life!
Decree for the Transmutation of World Karma
of the Laggards and the Laggard Races
The LORD in me is Christ—my beloved Christ Self, the beloved Lord Jesus Christ, and the beloved Cosmic Christ. Therefore, the trinity of this LORD with me, the Immanuel, ‘God with us’, is the LORD! And the LORD bears his burden. The LORD bears the burden of light, and the LORD bears the burden of anti-light. And I stand in the heart of the LORD and I declare:
Lo, I AM THAT I AM!
Lo, I AM THAT I AM!
Lo, I AM the Christ incarnate!
Lo, I AM the bearer of the threefold flame of my LORD!
And my burden is light! light! light!
And into this light, this whirling vortex, there now pours the entire momentum of world karma of the laggards and their evolutions.
And therefore, it is consumed by sacred fire!
It is no more!
And the consciousness that determines to sustain the anti-light and the misqualification of light is now judged by the Light, judged by my Christ Self, by the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Cosmic Christ!
Therefore, I call forth the judgment from the heart of Almighty God and his Son Jesus Christ of all forces and forcefields that fail to submit to the Light as the Word incarnate I AM THAT I AM Sanat Kumara and as the Light that is the trinity of the personal, planetary, and Cosmic Christ now made manifest within me by the love of my own Christ Self, by the wisdom of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the power of Lord Maitreya, the Coming Buddha who is come into my temple now!
Therefore, I stand before the God of the Earth, Lord Gautama Buddha, at Shamballa, and I make the demand in the earth and I give forth the mandate that the consciousness behind the misqualified energy and hate and hate creation directed against Saint Germain and the chelas of the ascended masters, against the Woman and Her seed, and against all Christed ones in this Dark Cycle must now either bend the knee, begin to so qualify the light in purity, or else stand before the judgment of the triple action of my own individual and personal Christhood, which I now claim in the name I AM THAT I AM Sanat Kumara, Gautama Buddha, Lord Maitreya, Jesus Christ, and my own beloved Christ Self.

To put yourself in the flame and to multiply that flame by your own threefold flame—this is your gift upon the altar of our retreat.” The God and Goddess Meru, December 28, 1977; cassette B7816. On November 22, 1979, Lord Maitreya dedicated the Will of God Focus at the Ashram of the World Mother: “...This forcefield is designed after the womb of Cosmos. It is the sacred egg of the Cosmic Virgin. And so, in this forcefield of the egg is the miniature, the microcosm of all, and the resounding of the Word from wall to wall and finally resting in the heart of the Son Jesus....You will find the Lord Jesus Christ to be the central sun of our temple of the life everlasting! It is the temple beautiful in the earth. Here the soul bows before the Sacred Heart, etched in marble over a century ago by a devotee chosen by me for this very hour when this—the standing of the Lord Christ within this sanctuary with the right hand forming the sign of the blessing and the judgment and the left hand to the heart—would be a sign unto my people Israel that the hour of the judgment is come and the day of the LORD’s vengeance is nigh and the day of the Second Advent is upon all those who claim it!”; cassette B8005.
