Pearls of Wisdom

Vol. 32 No. 18 - Beloved Astrea and Purity - April 30, 1989

 

An Easter Convocation
for Cosmic Christ Illumination
III

 

The mountain of the Lord awaits the feet of the pilgrim becoming the chela, becoming the arhat. The mountain of the Lord beckons.

Ye who have heard the Call, ye who have seen from afar the fire on the mountain know truly the dimensions of the mystery of the Christos. Therefore ye have come out from among your members, separated yourselves from the valleys of delusions, the grasslands of karmic rumination. You have entered a path of initiation.

This gathering in the Northern Rockies is by far the key event of the hour, of the day, and of many cycles for planet earth. Thus, beloved, you have created a chalice that does become the correspondent of our Elohim Chalice in the Heart of the Inner Retreat. <1>  And in the center of the Light you have called forth you may visualize over this court, seated in meditation before you in adoration of the Divine Mother of each one, the Lord Gautama Buddha.

The Lord of the World does intercede, beloved, in answer to your calls. For many are the wise ones who have been diligent and who have accomplished much to provide that chalice of a Grail vessel for Morya El.

Therefore we are Elohim of the Fourth Ray. And the Fourth Ray is the very fulcrum of life, you see. Purity must ever be the keystone in the arch of being; and in the presence of purity there is no self-deception or deceit toward another in the hiding of that dweller-on-the-threshold <2> in the folds of the garment, even though the garment be white.

Therefore, beloved, this [chalice] that you have builded by the sacred Word <3> does become the point of the arcing of the devotions of neophytes and adepts alike of the East. For out of the Himalayas in the steps and stages of those who embody God, whether in the physical or etheric octaves, there is the sign of the mantra, the sound of the mantra, and the action of the circle and sword of blue flame of the Great Kali that I AM THAT I AM Astrea.

Blessed hearts, as you gather we should so desire to see these gatherings week upon week upon week, for you have thrust into the earth a wedge of Cosmic-Christ-fire purity. And thus, beloved, you have sent many a demon howling this night who could not stand to be in this place [or] in you any longer, now bound by our legions and removed.

Thus each one is a thread of contact to those who remain in the morass of their own fears, their own anxieties and self-delusions. Those who mount the spiral and move toward the mountain of the Lord bear with them a portion of the civilization they represent and [they] become even the bread and the wine [unto those whose Christhood is yet to be].

Now, ye who assimilate the Body of God of the Fourth Ray, know, then, that our angels come, each with that circle and sword of blue flame and the influx of purity. Thus you may continue in this wise till the conclusion of this conference and know that we, representing all of Elohim, desire to accomplish certain measures of grace for all who are here. For we, too, take advantage of the dispensation of Melchizedek, Zadkiel, and Holy Amethyst.

Thus, beloved, we desire and we shall place before you, as you attend the Royal Teton Retreat this night (apart from the body while in sleep) the history of yourself and your twin flame upon this earth and other planetary bodies. You have seen it before, beloved, but you must see it in this hour that you might understand the divine plan for you of Solar Logoi as each half of the Divine Whole does pursue a calling whereby there is assured the balancing of that one’s karma as well as a portion of the other’s.

Thus the marriage made in heaven does allow one or the other to bear that karma for the other, thereby facilitating the balancing of the whole, the restoration to purity’s white fire core, the enhancing of the mission and, above all, that [circumstance whereby] through the embodied twin flame there might be a service rendered that can accrue to the victory of both. It is most essential to your own evolution and the planetary evolution therefore, as you have been told, that you always consider that the twin flame may be at various levels and octaves of the physical, mental, or astral planes, in the etheric retreats or as the Ascended Master.

Blessed hearts, understand that the Divine Whole is the T’ai Chi, and in the Alpha and Omega of Being you are one. You are one another and there is only this divine unity–not an opposition but a divine unity–of cosmic forces.

Call, I say, upon our twin flames in this moment for that Light to descend out of your causal bodies!  Shake the Tree of Life, beloved, and receive talents and attainments, for earth has never needed you more!  And I tell you, you have never needed more the path of initiation and of discipleship, neglecting not the first steps and moving toward that purification of all chakras by the mantra of sacred fire.

Thus, beloved, we give to you this moment to offer aloud your prayers in this wise that we might already respond. For our angels stand ready to deliver you, as midwives, to your I AM Presence and Holy Christ Self, to place in your hearts, in your hands, in your souls, and in your minds those qualities needed to be on with <4> this goal of the Path. [personal prayers offered]

It is desirable to raise up the Mother Light within the temple as the sacred fire of the Goddess Kundalini. You have so set and so established this forcefield this night that it is a moment when not a few among you may experience a great quickening. And thus, in order to continue this dictation we ask you to take the series of mantras for the purification of the chakras unto the Divine Mother for the intensification, the protection, and the expansion of the Light therein. <5>

 Bija Mantras

Thus the sacred fire raised up within you is the sword of Kali that you wield, is my own sword, is the fire that does dispel all unlike itself, is the fire that does impel the oneness of the Mother within you [to be one] with the Buddha who is Lord of the World, with the inner Buddha of the heart. The demons cannot linger when this pure fire is raised up. And when it is raised–and raised it must be–there begins to vibrate, in polarity with that fire, ascension’s flame at Luxor.

Then I also come with my sword, holding that blue-flame sword three inches from the spine or at a greater distance, depending on the attainment and purity and cleansing of the chakras of the lifestream and the four lower bodies. And I am able to wield a momentum of Light that may cross time and space for you, beloved, to clear the records and the residue of past preoccupations in lower astral vibrations whereby you have acquired a buildup of astral substance and entities.

How wonderful it is, then, when in true prayer and fasting you may find dislodged even from the physical body those substances that begin to burden the brain, the cells, and to cause premature aging, graying, loss of memory, and the failing agility of both the mental body and the physical. With this there does also come indulgence in self-concerns and self-pity and even the timidity whereby you know that the yinness of self is not merely what one eats but what one hasn’t disgorged oneself of–those accumulations of toxins that prevent the flowering of the Eternal Youth and the presence of Sanat Kumara within the body temple.

Many of you are veterans at fasting. Therefore I, Astrea, say to you that to pursue the fast in the heart of Alpha and Omega by partaking of the holy, holy food–which is the brown rice, [which is in] itself in [the] polarity [and harmony of the yin and yang]–this, then, you may do. You may fast on this rice for a day, eating as you will, chewing well. We like the number 108, <6> for it is the completion of the mantra; we like the mantra “I AM Alpha and Omega in the white fire core of Being,” <7> therefore [by prayer and fasting] each and every cell receiving the spring-cleaning that is due.

One day, two days, three days, four or five, six or seven, eight or nine or ten–ten days, beloved, with only a small amount of bancha tea and meditation upon God and breathing profoundly the fresh air and the sacred fire breath with [yogic or other exercise]. This indeed is a fasting and a self-emptying that has a spiritual/physical purpose. It is for the victory of the soul, the  sharpening of the mind and the intensity, intensifying, of the fire of the Spirit. See, then, what incurable condition of psyche or mind or body you may heal by such a participation. <8>

Understand, beloved, that this fasting is not complete without profound prayer. But you have the science of mantra.

Let it be understood, then, that to self-empty does prepare oneself for the descent of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. <9>  We, Elohim of the Fourth Ray, shall return and we hope to find some of you who have been able to pursue some measure of this prayer and fasting that we might endow the physical temple, atoms thereof, with the extraordinary Light, portion by portion, of Purity’s ray.

We are profoundly satisfied by the devotions of our chelas of the Fourth Ray in the giving of the call to Astrea, to Purity daily for many, many years. We are satisfied with the momentum and the cleansing. We come to show you, then, how so great a momentum in the spiritual octave is due to become physical.

Why not try it, beloved?  As they have said, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Let it be well done, for I say to you, there is a moment when the wellspring of life is available. So as there does come forth in springtime new life and energy, we say to you, the life of the sacred fire of the Divine Mother is available to you.

May you know the meaning of walking the fourteen stations of the cross with the Divine Woman and her seed. May you understand the Alpha and the Omega of the seven chakras. And may you know that it is as Light spiritual becomes physical and mental that you pass through the Second Ray, through the Five Dhyani Buddhas into the secret-ray initiations.

Hail, legions of Justinius!  Hail, seraphim of God!  We so consecrate these chelas of the will of God to the rites of spring, the vernal equinox, and to their Victory. Let it be that chalices of resurrection’s flame be re-created, for as Elohim have said, “We have created!  Can we not re-create?” <10>

We have created!  We shall create again!  And this is the re-creation of the entire being out of the Divine Image. Thus enhancing the path of twin flames, we come.

To begin this Monday next with this spiritual path may be the option and the choice of some and not of others. For whatever we bring to you, beloved, you may not set aside the goal-fitting and the goal-setting of Morya El or Saint Germain; for day upon day upon day is the chalice of the Word and Work of the Lord. Thus, may you prosper in righteousness, right action, and you will find yourself at the right hour and moment for this opportunity.

Beloved, I AM the Eternal Mother Astrea, not merely a name on a page that you recite as a mantra. I AM a very living Presence in your midst. I move among you to take from you burdens you know not of, for you have allowed me.

When you think of it, beloved, you spend almost more time with my call <11> than you would concentrate in any other single decree on an ongoing basis. Thus purity is the sign of these overcomers in these Northern Rockies and that Light of purity has shone beyond the worlds even as the stars of the heavens are shining in the earth this night.

We take you, then, as I have said, to the Royal Teton Retreat, for we desire that you should desire to be very specific in the pursuit of the divine plan. We desire, above all, that those things in which you excel, the merit you have earned, the grace you have won by service and dynamic decree should accrue to your lifestream, as your Messenger has taught you, as the flame of God-Mastery.

Shall it not be once again the celebration of the hour of the Messenger’s birth in Aries in this year to enter the initiations in the heart of the hierarchy of Pisces?  Thus this is the sign of the Cosmic Clock for this year for her, and all her chelas will pass through that second line of the Clock. <12>  Thus the mastery of water is paramount and this mastery of the water sign is in the etheric quadrant; and Lanello has called for the purification of the etheric bodies of all of the chelas as a priority, something that should be engaged in. <13>  Let it be your concentration for the next two days.

Blessed ones, this flame of God-Mastery in this year, then, specifically in the water element, does relate to your own physical body. For is it not mostly water?  Therefore the mastery of the body is the mastery of water, which is the mastery of energy-in-motion, or the emotions.

These, then, can be mastered only by the binding of the dweller-on-the-threshold who has perverted the fire element. Thus out from the subconscious and out from the dweller do proceed mouthings of anger, anxiety, arrogance, et cetera, et cetera. All of this, then, will come to trouble the waters of the physical body as the body elemental herself or himself does take upon that life even the agitation wherever it is found.

Beloved hearts, you who would enter this path of God/Christ Self-mastery in this year, know, then, that all the momentums of the absence of that mastery will come upon you from your own lifestream. But this is the year of the opening by Serapis Bey, by the Goddess of Light, the Queen of Light, and the Goddess of Purity of portals of purity!  Assisted by Gabriel and Hope and Serapis Bey and Elohim and many legions of seraphim who are also of the Fourth Ray, you can make great progress; for in the white Light of the Divine Mother is victory. Let white be a color that is your selection as all of the rays become one.

Blessed hearts, if you are not dealing with old momentums of the absence of self-discipline in this year, you may easily deal with the widespread momentums of the planet where youth and age alike have indulged themselves, have gone after other gods who have made their temples vile, to be occupied by foul and unclean spirits which you have banished from your temples and from this court. Thus you see, beloved, these who are of the night and of the astral plane, these disembodied spirits, are enraged when they cannot conquer an entire evolution.

The pillar of fire you have raised up in this night is itself an intense Power, Wisdom, and Love. Know how great is your oneness and the spirit of the Sangha of the Buddha that is here. Know, then, that you are indeed ready to take the blue-lightning mantra, to make the sign of the cross, and to send forth the Light for the consuming of all that is unreal that would deprive all people of this blessed earth from dedicating their temples to be the temple of the living God.

God is One. One in manifestation is the All. Let the All become One and let the mighty fortress who is our God be the fortress of Community.

My Beloved Elohim Purity does speak to you now as I AM forever your Starry Mother. And my star in this moment does shoot to the star Sirius as Purity shall remain and we shall establish this arcing of Sirius to earth. For God Surya has taken note of the effort of a band of chelas of the will of God in the twentieth century, as time is counted in the space of planet earth.

 

Beloved Purity

Purity’s ray, descend!  Purity’s flame, descend!

Now my legions descend into the depths of earth and the astral plane and all over the physical planet. And there is a binding and a dissolving of Darkness around the Lightbearers of the earth that they might emerge, as it were, from cocoons of self-imposed ignorance and that which has been imposed upon them by the fallen angels.

Legions of Purity, I command you in the name of the Lord God I AM THAT I AM Elohim!

There is, then, a clearing of certain levels of the astral plane as earth is compelled to give up the dead, <14> who have never lived, who have weighted the planet that the living may not breathe the air of eternal Life. There is planetary clearance, beloved.

You have made gains. Be it known, I have said–and I AM Purity Elohim–you have made gains!  Keep on keeping on and do not become disheartened!  You are making gains. You must simply keep on, one step after the other, until the portion assigned to you of your personal and planetary karma is complete [i.e., is balanced]!

You are here, beloved. You have the Path and the Teaching. You have the One. You have the way. Know, then, that many steps and many miles must be trod, but you have made gains. Blessed hearts, this is the sign of victory for the turning around of worlds–and those worlds are your own!

Thus, do not waste the hours given to you, for one day you will count this sojourn on planet earth as the most precious portion of time and space ever allotted to you at this hour. For, beloved, this is the hour when the ascension is possible, when you are willing to dig in and to clean up that karma and all that goes with it.

I say to some of you who have rebelled against your own God Presence and the inner voice:  What folly. What folly!  Do it not. I, Purity, stand before you. I hold the cosmic mirror, for I AM Elohim, and I allow you to see on the inner how you have denied your Presence and still favored that dweller.

I say to you:  Turn and face the Light. Change your posture!  Change the way you think and do things!  Change your diet, change your attitude, change your stance and say yes to the living God all the way Home!

And I say, you who judge, then, this Messenger, judge not lest ye be judged. <15>  But if you have a concern, so state it.

Blessed hearts, it is not good to bite the hand that feeds you. Thus know that the one who must wrestle with those conditions of consciousness that have taken you far afield from this center [i.e., this center of activity, this Inner Retreat, and this God-centeredness], the Messenger, does defend your soul and your very life, and the life of your soul, against your own rebellion and your own disassociation from your God Presence, [and your] favoring, then, [of] your dweller.

You, then, who have gathered from far <16> yet have not always so respected your own God Flame, ask yourselves why you have come. Is it not because you know on the inner that where the Body of Christ is, there you must be? <17>

Thus the Body of Christ is, and it is sealed in the heart of the mountain of God. It is sealed in the heart of your own Holy Christ Self. And it cannot be unsealed until the heat and the fire and the fervor of your devotion does so burn in your chest that there may be given unto you that portion of the Body of Christ you have gathered–because your souls know at inner levels that the hour is short and that you must be in the holy mountain of the Lord where there is the redemption of Israel and Judah and all of the incarnations of your soul.

Therefore, if you have come and if you have made the trek of a thousand miles, will you not also understand that there is an inner pilgrimage in the labyrinth of the electronic belt; and it cannot be ignored, it cannot be sealed as a manhole, it cannot be allowed to stew. This, therefore, must be opened and be uncoiled.

Happy are ye who delight in this task and in this law. Happy are ye who are kind to your children. Happy are ye who deny them not and are gentle in your care of them. For these little ones have angels who tend them, who stand in the Presence of God, <18> who stand in their defense. Happy are ye who care for Christ in these little ones.

Let not our children in the earth be crucified by those who know a teaching and yet do not wrestle with the beast that would condemn or deny one of these little ones. <19>  Be wise and loving parents, firm in the Law.

We are Elohim of the Fourth Ray. Out of our cosmic conception of Christ-purity we have conceived and brought you forth with the Lords of Mind, the Lords of Form, the Lords of Individuality. Thus, beloved, we are one with the Lords of Creation.

Know, then, that every single lifestream in cosmos is our concern. Where we give so great a Light [in answer to your calls], where the Divine Mother is so called forth [as in the Astrea decree 10.14 and the bija mantras to the Feminine Deities] we must demand an equivalency of self-discipline, a mutuality of oneness and service.

Do you see, beloved, [that] the congruency of the triangle below and above must be? [Do you not see] that commensurate with the Light of Elohim of Astrea and Purity which you receive there must be a corresponding self-discipline, a tenderness, and a determination that you will keep that flame of purity and not allow any force whatsoever to deceive you into parting with it by any kind of inharmony?

Care for the children, beloved. Remember your own childhood if you can, how the scars run deep when you have not been treated with kindness. So it is true of childhood, which passes quickly. Let them know this springtime of joy with elemental life. Let them have their victory and guard them well from the hellish fiends that move about in the earth.

We together this evening have given to you an understanding of our Presence as the love-fire of purity. When you comprehend purity as Love and Love as purity, you will not find it difficult to divest yourself of those things which render the heart or mind or soul impure.

Our love as God Parents, then, is upon you. And as we speak, once again there does return to this altar the Goddess of Light, the Queen of Light, and the Goddess of Purity. Truly the Divine Mother’s Presence is upon you. As she does hold every Christed one upon earth and other systems of worlds in her arms, many angels of the Divine Mother in this hour and [in] this weekend take down from the cross the Lightbearers crucified afresh and anew.

Circle and sword of Astrea from the God Star Sirius, arc the Light!  I AM THAT I AM Elohim, WE ARE–One!

Now the oscillation of the Light of the God Star Sirius to this point of contact does begin. And by these blue-flame tapes so used, beloved, you have enabled this to be established. May the momentum continue as the final two tapes are released and you are able to give your calls to Hercules, Amazonia, Surya, Cyclopea. <20>

Thus, in Morya’s name and for his victory we minister to the chelas of the will of God. Without the will of God there is no purity. And the Divine Mother is cloaked in a star-fire blue of sapphire hue.

To the Light of Elohim above and below we bow. May resurrection’s flame crystal <21> in you the design of the Chalice of Elohim that you might become the living replica thereof.

Let us now unveil by scrolls for each set of twin flames your divine plan in these twelve years and more, and in the age of Aquarius.

I seal you with angels [in order] that you may retire. To the heart of the Royal Teton we go.

I release rays to chakras, to secret-ray points.

 


This dictation by Astrea and Purity was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet at the conclusion of the Friday night vigil on Saturday, March 25, 1989, 12:16-1:17 a.m. MST, during the five-day conference An Easter Convocation for Cosmic Christ Illumination held at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana. Available on 71-min. audiocassette K89018. [N.B.

8. The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine, the oldest-known book of Chinese medicine and the foundation of the macrobiotic diet based on the yin-yang principle, describes a ten-day rice gruel fast as the first remedy for disease. Ronald E. Kotzsch writes in Macrobiotics:  Yesterday and Today that The Yellow Emperor’s Classic “asserts that food is an important means for treating disease. It says that in ‘medieval days’ the sages treated illness first by diet, usually prescribing a regime of rice gruel for ten days. If this treatment was not successful, then the roots and leaves of medicinal plants were used to harmonize the energies. Acupuncture and moxibustion were employed only as a last resort. If the emotions and the will of the patient are stable, says the Classic, then cereals alone can effect a cure. Grains have a special importance and power as human food. Water and grains are the root of life and ‘death comes only when they are exhausted.’ In particular, rice is mentioned as a vital and harmonious food.”  The Yellow Emperor’s Classic is attributed to Huang Ti, the legendary Yellow Emperor (born c. 2704 b.c.), but was probably not written down until about 500 b.c. The Yellow Emperor is believed to have ruled China during a golden age and is considered the ancestor of all Chinese people. Lord Lanto, working under Sanat Kumara, is said to have inspired The Yellow Emperor’s Classic.

A ten-day brown rice fast may be too severe for those who have not already practiced the macrobiotic diet for some time. Such a fast is not recommended unless you get good macrobiotic counseling, know the body’s signs of yin and yang, and know how to break the fast. Instead, you can try a rice fast for one or two days. Eat as much pressure-cooked brown rice as you want. You can follow this with a couple of days of rice and vegetables with a light miso soup as the body gently comes off the rice fast and adapts to a greater variety of vegetarian foods. The longer the rice fast, the easier you should make the transition. It is wise to wait a week or more after the rice fast before eating fish, if this is part of your regular diet. Because of the past diets people have been on, reactions may vary from severe to mild to none at all. El Morya’s advice is:  Go easy, be well informed, proceed with caution, know when to stop.

Recipe for pressure-cooked brown rice:  1/2 teaspoon good sea salt to 5 cups of rice and 8 cups of pure water. Wash rice and put in pressure cooker. Add water and bring to a boil. Add salt and place cover on pressure cooker. Bring cooker up to pressure then reduce flame to medium-low. Put flame deflector under cooker and cook for 45 min. Remove pressure cooker from flame and let sit for 5 min. without opening, then remove rice from the pot so it doesn’t keep cooking. For regular daily use of brown rice when not fasting, use 1-2 teaspoons of salt per pot according to personal taste and need.

Recipe for bancha twig tea (also called kukicha):  If the twigs you have are not already roasted, you should roast them in a dry skillet for 3-4 min. Place 1-2 tablespoons bancha twigs in a pot with 4 cups of pure water, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5-10 min., or 10-15 min. for stronger tea. When tea is finished steeping, remove twigs from the tea and let them dry. Twigs can be reused a few times, adding some new twigs each time.

9. Rice fast in preparation for Pentecost and other holy days. It is suggested that students of the Ascended Masters fast one day on brown rice, taking bancha tea as necessary, before Pentecost (celebrated this year on May 14). Several days before the sun-sign change and the new moon each month are auspicious times for prayer and fasting. The 10 days before the solstices and equinoxes are the high marks for self-emptying in preparation for the infilling, invigorating Light released from the Great Central Sun on these four occasions. Also from six to two weeks prior to your birthday and the week before the menstrual cycle are good opportunities for spiritual and physical cleansing and rebuilding for new beginnings. And may all of our prayer and fasting be dedicated to the Victory of our dear El Morya.
