Love’s Fulfillment of the Law
in Christ—His Messengers,
His Apostles, His Disciples and His Community

Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O Lord. Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward and put to confusion that desire my hurt. Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha. Let all those that seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee: and let such as love Thy salvation say continually:
|

|
|
Let God be magnified! |

|

But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: Thou art my help and my deliverer; O Lord, beloved Mighty I AM Presence, make no tarrying. - Psalm 70 Therefore we who love Thy salvation say continually: |

|
|
Let God be magnified! Let God be magnified! Let God be magnified! Let God be magnified! Let God be magnified! |

I AM the disciple of Love and of the initiations of Love’s heart in the person of Jesus Christ and in the person of the one who sent him and in the person of the one whom he has sent. Thus, I AM the student of the deep mysteries of Love in Maitreya, in Jesus, and in the Messenger of the Lord, for so is the Trinity fulfilled. And so I AM come to you in this hour of Love’s fulfillment of the Law—the Law of Truth and of Peace and of Freedom and of Victory.
Thus it was I—my head upon his bosom, a part of the eternal heartbeat of God within his breast—it was I who asked, “Who is it, Lord?” <1> Thus, in me was fulfilled the promise of the bodhisattva of the Buddha Issa. For he was and is the Eternal One and the manifestation of Maitreya.
Where Is the One Who Is Lord?
Blessed Hearts,
|
|
In the beginning was the Word |
The Messenger of the Lord
I AM the disciple and an apostle. I AM also an Ascended Master, having fulfilled all of Love’s promises through this Christ. Thus I lived, and I lived to see him live. And I also lived to pen his Revelation to me. Thus, he also anointed me as his Messenger, even as he has anointed this Messenger to speak to you.
It is a lawful office and one necessary so long as the veil is not parted between the outer court of the physical octave and the inner Holy of Holies where [the embodied] Christ communes with the Mighty I AM Presence. Thus even the high priest, and Moses himself, was the Messenger before the living flame and fount of Reality and did deliver the Word of Sanat Kumara to the people.
Understand that your Christ Self is the high priest officiating before the altar of your I AM Presence. Descending, then, from that level of the Holy of Holies, this Christ does minister unto your soul. Thus, your Christ Self is the Messenger of your I AM Presence. And your discipleship is a path to be walked whereby daily you put on the robe whereby, through the intimations of the heart, you, beloved, become the messenger of your own beloved Christ Self to the world.
This Messenger comes to deliver the Word of the ascended hosts who have walked through the veils to the point of God Reality and who have been assumed unto God. The Messenger speaks in the name of your own Christhood and delivers to you the highest fruits of your own Reality.
On occasions you cannot perceive the wonder and the Light, and you are about to take a lesser road, a very low road in the valleys of life, and the Messenger speaks and gives to you the illumination of your Christ Self. And your response is: “I am sorry. I do not see it that way. I understand it in my way and I must fulfill my own desire, for my desire overwhelms me and I have the greater need to fulfill it than to be obedient to that First Love.” And the Messenger replies, “I have fulfilled the office of communicating to you the Word of your Christ Self. I bow before the Light within you and before your free will. Go in peace.”
The Grand Experiment in Free Will
“That which thou doest do quickly!” <3>—the same message of the Master to Judas. For the one who must act in a certain groove of consciousness, let him go and do it quickly that he might quickly learn the fruit plucked from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, that he might begin at once, then, to learn the lessons of life and the grand experiment in free will to which our God has sent you.
Blessed hearts, it is still better to have heard the admonishment and the call by the Messenger to a higher and a holy calling; for in the day and the hour when the choice of free will becomes ashes in the mouth, you may remember the divine direction and then seek to fulfill it. Therefore, do not resent the call to Truth or the delivery to you of Reality, even as we, God forbid, do not resent your choice of the path of free will.
Let those who keep the hour with Jesus this night not weary, for it is an hour of prayer and transmutation.
The World On Trial
In their sorrow they sought escape through sleep. <4> The escape they sought was from the facing of what Jesus was to face. He brought to bear at his trial the full momentum of the God incarnate within him and allowed those who thought they had placed him on trial to themselves be on trial.
And thus, the world is on trial today as it takes in turn its reaction to the Great White Brotherhood, to the Teachings of the Ascended Masters—not necessarily through this mouthpiece, beloved, or through yourselves, for these Teachings have been from everlasting to everlasting and from the beginning. The rejection of the person of Truth is seen everywhere, as they say, in man’s inhumanity to man.
What is the greater guilt, beloved ones, in this hour? Is it the Soviet slaughter of the Afghan nation? Or is it the standing by of those in the West who see and do not do enough or give a token and say, “We have helped.” Where is the greater guilt?
The guilt is already judged of the fallen angels, the gods who have come to declare war against the children of the Light. Have you never considered that the actions of the fallen angels everywhere on the planet are merely for the testing of the souls of those who are the initiates, of those who are earning their wings, of those who are destined to return to God?
Thus, beloved, you will see that the judgment here is not upon the fallen ones, for they are already judged. It will be upon those who stood by and did not feed the Christ, <5> did not defend Him, and did not know when was the hour to sell what they had to take the sword and defend that Christ. <6>
The Defense of Christ
He gave the direction [read Luke 22:35-38]; and therefore, let none be passive and allow the murder of the Christ incarnate without the defense of Light. Let this nation be defended. Let the community be defended by the sacred sword of the spoken Word. Let all be alert to the murderous intent of the dark ones to destroy the souls and minds and hearts of little children.
Realize, then, that there is an hour for one initiation without purse or scrip, <7> proving the alchemy of the Holy Spirit, and there is an hour for preparedness. And thus you have been led, and thus you have sealed your community of the Holy Spirit. And Lanello is well pleased that the Royal Teton Ranch has fulfilled his direction to this Messenger in the hour of parting: a place prepared for the safety of the Teaching and of the students of the Ascended Masters.
Take care, then, that you understand the necessity of the hour. And remember that we are determined, as you are determined, that no trial or persecution or false witness or manipulation of the economy or any actions by the fallen ones to destroy the lightbearers shall prevail.
Study Their Evil Ways
If you will study their evil ways, you will see that for every situation when there was a God-man on the earth, they sought to destroy and prevent and kill. When the Child Jesus was to be born, when prophesied by that astrology, <8> so Herod’s henchmen killed all the male babies. <9> And so it was in the hour of the prophecy of the incarnation of Vishnu—the killing of the many sons to destroy the one. But the one was not destroyed, and therefore Lord Krishna incarnated. <10>
Do you remember, then, that again and again in every situation, whether through wars or manipulation of food supplies or the taking of the jobs from the people or the ruination of their money, there has always been the attempt to prevent the full flourishing of the Christ in the abundant life?
The Fulfillment of Christ’s Promises to His Apostles
This is the hour and the moment of the fulfillment of the promise of Christ unto the apostles, the spiritual apostles who are anointed to sit with him at his table, to eat with him of his substance, and to judge the twelve tribes of Israel.
It is written once, it is written twice, it is written again: You who have been with the Son of God in his temptations—which are the initiations of the soul in every way of the path of the bodhisattva, initiations for which, although you do not even comprehend them in this hour of your service, you have tarried and kept the flame not only in this life but in past ages with the lightbearers—you, therefore, have been given the key to the binding of the fallen ones who come to destroy the incarnate Word in all people of God. <11>
For it is preordained in this two-thousand-year period that the Christed ones should be beheld. Understand the meaning of this Christ coming into the temple of yourselves, your loved ones, and your children. Understand that the guarding of this Light demands of you self-purification and the ability to meet every test.
The Judgment Call Compels the Answer throughout the Matter Cosmos
Understand the meaning of the Judgment Call. And let it be heaped upon thine own head <12> that within thee the separation of Light and Darkness take place even as the call is sent. And the Call is the only and the great protection of the community of Light. You go over old ground. You transmute the trials, the accusations, and the murder of the lightbearers of all ages.
When you stand in the sanctuary and you offer that praise and these intense calls of the sacred fire, the judgment goes back 250 million years of the infamy of the fallen angels practiced against the children of God and mankind in this and other systems of worlds. And thus the offices and the patterns and the footprints of the blasphemous and the infamous are therefore judged and bound.
Understand this principle and teaching, beloved hearts. Come to understand the reality of the message. And recognize that when the records are transmuted—and those who have committed these crimes are judged and bound and gathered by the angels who come to gather the tares from among the wheat <13>—that then, in the present hour, this formula, this matrix of the false hierarchy will have no power over you or your Community or the Ascended Masters or their Teachings or their Messenger.
You are proving the Law in retrospect. You are going backwards in history and you are bringing that call as God directs it, as Jesus directs it, as the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood directs it into the very cause and core of those conditions that have happened again and again.
Thus, the armies of the fallen ones are decimated. But you must understand they have built a momentum for a long, long cycling of their evil ways. Thus, in each turn of the spiral of their momentum there is the judgment that takes place on the lines of the clock. Be not dismayed, then, for the calls that you give go deeper and deeper into the akashic records, into the astral plane. And truly you serve with Archangel Michael to clean out the pit and that location of the pit under various areas of the world where the fallen ones reside.
In the cleanup of the planetary body there is a signal by crystal light that is transferred to other houses of light and mansions where many souls are bound and burdened. And I tell you that this Word of God, this Judgment Call given by Jesus Christ to you, does live forever. And when it is given it goes forth in concentric rings of Light. And the call stands for systems of worlds in this galaxy and in galaxies beyond whence the evil ones have come. And the call is as effective in those systems as it is here because there is no time and space. And the imprint upon Matter is repeated again and again and again.
Thus, you must know that there are millions of souls who send gratitude through my heart in this hour for the decree work that has been done. And they desire that I should be their messenger to you, the messenger from their far-off worlds, to tell you that the dynamic decrees given in this chapel, and in every place where one or two or three gather <14> with the holy angels to give these calls, have resulted in their liberation. And in each and every place where these calls have been given there is a transfer of Light, there is an activation.
No matter what is said to the contrary by any worldly opinion or any damnation from the fallen ones, it is true that the Call compels the answer throughout the Matter cosmos.
The Initiation in the Garden of Gethsemane
Now I would point out to you that the initiation in the Garden of Gethsemane through the night following the Lord’s Supper was a great test of endurance for the disciples. And there are many in this room who are so heavy with sleep that they cannot keep awake for my message. Thus, I ask you to stand in honor of Christ. And I ask that the windows and doors be opened that you might receive the refreshing wind of the Holy Spirit and know that it is indeed meet that you should pray to enter not into temptation and take seriously, beloved hearts, what it means to be a disciple in this hour of the Cosmic Christ— Jesus, Lord Maitreya, Lord Buddha.
Realize, beloved hearts, that with an abundance of Teaching there also comes almost a surfeiting as one who revels in a large meal or banquet and much wine. The surfeiting of the Teaching and the Work at hand may seem to make all of this almost commonplace, but I, John, urge you to realize that worlds and systems of worlds depend upon your successful passing through the course of Christic initiation. Each and every one of you holds in your heart and in your hand the ability to make this Teaching and Path available to the whole world. Consider, then, this hour and your decision. And consider the reward that was promised to us.
I directed this reading <15> to the Messenger that you might understand that Jesus did indeed say it was not possible for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. <16> And thus beloved Francis and Clare, taking up the vow of poverty, did live a life in proof that God not only rewarded them abundantly but gave to them everlasting Life.
Note how Peter desired to know what reward they should have. And thus Jesus had the occasion to tell that this reward was indeed a reward on earth as well as in heaven. <17> The choices are the same, and I place before your own eyes your own ambitions which have come between you and a higher calling and a higher service.
How long do you actually think that you have to earn the good accounting for the reward of the Ascension? Do you really count on the fact that you have many decades before you and therefore can dally here or there in other projects and things and ambitions, so often done in the name of the Church but somehow the Church does not really enter into any benefit whatsoever?
Will You Drink His Cup and Drink All of It?
Beloved hearts, you have come to this altar because you have declared yourselves to be disciples—and not only disciples but initiates of the path of Christhood, the resurrection unto the Ascension. Will you drink his cup and drink all of it? It is not enough, beloved ones, to have a Messenger and a few chelas who take seriously the whole cup of the Teaching while others treat it as a smorgasbord and take what they will and go out satisfied with little, forgetting that as they have been easily satisfied, so the Law itself is indeed not satisfied and the reward that they seek will not be forthcoming.
The Temptation
When the temptation then comes to deny the Lord within your own heart and breast by any lie or misdemeanor or going away from that Presence, remember that the temptation is using your own substance of karma and dense desire of the past. And unless you are determined to overcome this and cast it into the sacred fire, you will indeed succumb.
And, beloved ones, there cannot be a test that is not difficult. There cannot be a test that does not demand pain or that you give up something of yourself. All who have gone before you and the Messenger who stands before you have had to surrender much in order to fulfill the office they have been given.
The Office
You have an office waiting to drop upon you officially as the Chela of the Great White Brotherhood. Each one in his own time earns that reward, and no man knoweth it save the Father. And when the Chela is drawn into the heart of hearts of the Guru, there is a mutual recognition and a knowledge that you are fully engaged with the Master, and you are One. And it is not illusory and it is not based on a sense of favoritism or association.
The Opportunity
Beloved hearts, recognize the meaning of fulfillment in Christ and know that this is the meaning of the Last Supper: that he offered unto us the blood of his Essence, the bread of his Life, and the opportunity to continue with him and to be with him in the Life everlasting. Some are still reincarnating to this hour. Some have sold their souls. Some have ascended. I was fortunate to have long life in the service of Christ and thus did ascend in my embodiment as John the Beloved. Others became lost through the centuries.
And, beloved, is there any greater opportunity than to have lived and known Jesus Christ? Yes, there is a greater opportunity. It is the opportunity today to know the Ascended Master Jesus Christ and Saint Germain and El Morya and the saints ascended without number. There is a greater opportunity to know the fullness of the science of the spoken Word, to have the transfer of Light and the empowerment [through the Messenger] to use that Word for the blessing of evolutions beyond the galaxies and to therefore balance karma swiftly.
The Attribute
The greatest attribute of a disciple today in the fulfillment of Love is endurance—is staying power and a vision which sees that in the staying, all of the purposes of God are fulfilled.
The Tests
Many tests will come and they will increase as you advance. God delights in observing your victories over puzzles that become more complex. He rejoices to see that you have, then, the attainment that surpasses the fallen angels when they fell and therefore can stand as warriors of the Spirit and defend the nations against their encroachments, their machinations, their psychological techniques to manipulate the people into thinking they are receiving some benefit from the government when in fact they are being taken and destroyed.
The Last Supper
Blessed hearts, it is an hour of the celebration of the Last Supper, as though each disciple were then frozen in time and in stone. The moment of the trial had come, the moment of all of the outpicturing of what was the dweller of each one. The witnesses, the judges, the accusers, the council, the high priest—each one outplayed himself.
And so we also outplayed ourselves. Peter wept <18> and yet history records his tears were for himself, not for Jesus. Take care, then, that your tears are not in self-pity or sympathy for your plight of what suffering you may be required to endure, but see to it that your compassion extends to the Ascended Masters who have loved you and to their great desire to reach the little ones who suffer on earth.
(On the Eve of Good Friday—
Darkness Brewing in South Africa)
There is brewing a darkness in South Africa. I direct your attention to this base chakra of the continent, the last stronghold of Light. Great darkness has come upon that continent. And the configuration of forces East and West, and the interplay, is intended by the dark ones to result in a bloodbath and a destruction.
Blessed hearts, it is indeed a division of the very base chakra of that continent. I ask you to pray for the judgment of all that is not of the Light, known or unknown, and to take care that you become not embroiled on this side or the other, for we deal here not with recent times but with a very ancient conspiracy. And therefore, let the Law deliver its mandate in answer to the call that centers in the Mighty I AM Presence and allows the Universal Christ to be the Judge.
The Communion
I come, then, sent by many, the most important of whom is our beloved Jesus himself who said to me this night, “John, my beloved, go and serve my own Communion in the sanctuary of the Holy Grail.” This I have come to do, but not without the admonishment that you take the path of victory as a serious one. Thus, I shall give to you now this Bread from the heart of Jesus and this Wine.
By his hand through my own—through these hands thus—this Bread and Wine is consecrated to everlasting Life within you.
The Transfer of the New Testament in My Blood
I ask the Messenger to read that which I have directed her to read, that you might have the words of warning of Jesus to the apostle Paul on the matter of Communion:
|
|
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: And when he had given thanks, he brake it and said, Take, eat: this is my Body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my Blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. |
“The new testament in my Blood,” beloved, is the Teaching that Jesus transferred the Christic Light of his blood and essence through that bread, that his consciousness might be with you also, that you might not lose the true memory of the new testament—the testimony of that living Christ with you.
Thus, he did place in the bodies of his own and does place this night the new testament of his Blood, which is that Christ consciousness who will bring to your remembrance, even as you do this in his remembrance, the true knowledge of God and the Law.
|
|
This do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the Body and Blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s Body. - I Corinthians 11:23-29 |
Confession of Sins before Taking Communion
According to this Teaching, beloved, the holy Church has required confession of sins before taking Communion, that each one might be renewed and offer penance and therefore be whole in the taking of that Communion.
I invite you to sing a hymn and, through the singing of this hymn, to therefore confess your sins to your Holy Christ Self and determine your own penance from your heart of hearts, and determine that in taking this Body and Blood of Christ unto everlasting Life that you are indeed sitting with Jesus Christ at table and have his promises to be with him in heaven and to be judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Therefore, know what is fitting for one who holds such an office and know what is not. And make your determination in my heart—for I AM with you—to be strong and to go forth confirmed in the will of God and in the will of your heart. Thus, I shall receive these confessions in my heart, even as Jesus and your Christ Self receive them. And I pray the angel of God strengthen you in your resolve. Thus, in your resolve also do receive Communion, for it is indeed unto your Life everlasting and your Christhood.
Let us sing to the Everlasting City. <19>

Last night I lay asleeping/There came a dream so fair |
John Blesses the Bread and Wine
Out of the Heart of the Living Saviour
and Serves Communion through the Messenger
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, in the name of the Mother, I, John, bless this bread and this wine out of the heart of the living Saviour who is Christ the Lord, who is the incarnation of Vishnu.
Out of the heart of the Saviour I AM come! Through that heart I anoint you apostles of the Most High God. Receive the calling with grace and joy and perseverance and all purity and love to one another, preferring one another rather than the company of the ungodly.
In the heart of Jesus Christ, I AM come to you.
[Holy Communion is served by the Ascended Master John the Beloved through the Messenger.]
Let us sing the “I Love You Waltz” to beloved Jesus.
|
|
Jesus, I give my heart to you |
In the name of the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood, in the name of the seven archangels and the servant sons and daughters of God, I, John, declare:
It is finished. It is sealed. It is done.
Pax vobiscum.
Messenger’s
Prayer to the Eternal Christos<20>
The Mystery of Thy Light Dwelling in Us Bodily
O living Word of Light, eternal Christos, descend into our hearts. O sacred fire of seraphim, angels of the Abendmahl, <21> angels of the Holy Spirit, bearers of the sacred cup of the Bread and the Wine, enter now and celebrate in His name with us this Holy Communion of the saints.
Beloved Alpha and Omega, break Thou the Body of Cosmos. Let Thy Universal Consciousness now be broken for our understanding and assimilation. Let this living Flame which we ignite, O God, be in this hour truly the victory of Life.
Legions of the Central Sun, we call in thy name. Pillars of fire and of eternity, let this Flame, as the divine spark does burn upon the altar of our hearts, be for the universal understanding of the mysteries—even the great mystery of thy Light dwelling in us bodily: Divine spark of the Holy of Holies.
Bearers of the Flame in the name of Zarathustra, legions of the Buddha bearing now the cup of grace, angel devas carrying this Wine and all elemental life do attend thee, O Lord, that they might also partake of the sacred mysteries.
Beloved Mother Mary, angels of the sacred fire, prepare our bodies, our souls, our spirits and hearts and minds for the assimilation of the Word and Work of our Lord. According to the promise of the I AM THAT I AM in Jesus, Maitreya, Gautama, Sanat Kumara, so make of us a new creature in Christ. Let the Universal Mind of God endued fully with His Love be our portion tonight.
Saint Germain, Mother Mary, Jesus, John the Beloved, saints of the sacred mysteries—even so, come quickly, O God, into our temples.
