Vol. 32 No. 24 - Beloved Archangel Raphael - June 11, 1989
A Walk with Raphael
The Sword Excalibur in the Hand of the World Mother
I will walk with you as I walked with Tobias and the father of Tobias. <1> I will walk with you as you are the friend of God and I am the friend of God. For I AM Raphael and I come in the name of the beloved Mary, the Mother of the God Flame within you.
I come in this new day of the ninth of April. I come, beloved, for on this day your Messenger did receive even the flame and the signet as ring of the Mother of the Flame for all Keepers of the Flame, <2> truly the mantle of the Mother of the World. Thus it is significant that in the quadrant of the spring equinox the Light did descend for the incarnation of Christ the Lord, and so it comes forth for the conception of the Divine Manchild within you.
I come, then, with the command of El Morya: “Become who thou art! Become what thou art.” Just beyond this veil, just beyond this place of limitation, karmic limitation, is the reality of the son, the daughter of God.
O emerald matrix, O legions of Raphael and Mother Mary, come forth now by the sword of Truth and by the jade matrix! Come forth! Clear the way. Clear the way by the Fifth Ray of the science of truth and healing for the descent of Christ in these temples!
The hour in which I come, beloved, does signify also [the] turning of cycles. Though we have spoken and Masters have spoken and the Light has gone forth to achieve this end in the past, you must understand that light-years come between one dictation and the next as calculated by cosmic time and space. And thus, what is possible today was not possible yesterday; what was possible yesterday is no longer possible today. Thus those in embodiment must learn to live with the time belt, the belt of time, and the cubes of space.
Understand the mysteries of the Christos. Understand the mysteries of precipitation. Behold, now is the accepted time for the incarnation of the Christ with you–not yesterday or tomorrow or even the limited sense of today but the consecrated moment! And when you lose the moment you have lost the Eternal Now. Learn, then, of me and of the mathematics and science of healing itself and internalize the God Flame.
We would see outpictured, then, the holiness of Truth. I said, the holiness of Truth! Wake up! We must see the outpicturing of the holiness of Truth.
Truth’s legions are marching. The legions of the Holy Spirit are marching. And you have noticed how the equilibrium of a Community may in fact flounder, teeter-totter when there does descend the opposition to the comfort flame that is the divine polarity of Truth.
Beloved hearts, Truth in itself is a cutting crystal; it is the sharper-than-the-two-edged sword. <3> It is unbearable unless it is in the sheath of comfort’s flame!
Can you, beloved, receive the sword Excalibur to your heart? I tell you nay. But you can receive it when it is surrounded by the aura of comfort’s flame. Have you not seen how the Messenger of Truth has delivered to you a message of Truth that might be devastating to the soul and mind and heart but for the compassion, but for the comfort, but for the hope and the faith and the charity that does accompany the message?
Hence we sponsor and continue to sponsor the office of our Messenger wearing the mantle of the World Mother. <4> May it be so, beloved, for I tell you, it is this mantle that has been mocked. And though Jesus the Christ, the embodiment of all Truth, did preach East and West on the principle of woman as “the mother of the universe,” <5> this very term has been applied to this Messenger so mockingly that she herself has no longer proclaimed openly that mantle.
And therefore some who have come of late to this activity have not even been aware of that date in 1966 when that office was transferred through the Messenger Mark Prophet from Clara Louise Kieninger, the first Mother of the Flame. This office must be held upon earth for the restoration of the Feminine Ray in connection with the retreat of the God and Goddess Meru at Lake Titicaca, in connection with the raising of the temples of Lemuria (as you will find in prior dictations <6>), and for the restoration of womankind to a role of dignity, leadership, intuition, and spiritual attunement for the mothering of the children upon earth.
Therefore, beloved, I AM Raphael and I shall be the first Archangel to seize also this sword.
Blessed hearts, know, then, that I, Raphael, cut you free from the burden of the false mother and the false hierarchy that is the antithesis of the Feminine Ray. I wield this sword, beloved, for the sword in the hand of King Arthur as El Morya is truly the sword of the Divine Mother! It is the sword of the Mother of the World who does place this in the hand of the one who must hold the key to the incarnation of God, and that key within you is your I AM Presence and Holy Christ Self. And thus El Morya does rule within this Community and may you know it.
Therefore I, Raphael, charge this sword with a living flame of Truth that Truth might be God-victorious over error and [over] the mocking of the office of one, therefore [that Truth might be] the defense [against] the mockery leveled against the office of your own Holy Christ Self. Blessed ones, if there is the denial of the mantle of the Mother upon one, that mantle shall be denied upon yourselves, your mothers, your wives, your daughters, your sisters.
Who, then, shall defend the heart, even the Immaculate Heart of Mary? Who shall defend it if not those who seize as knight champions the very sword of their Holy Christ Selves? Who shall champion my beloved if I do not? This say unto yourself: “Who shall champion my Holy Christ Self if I do not? Who shall be the champion of my soul’s wedding to my own Christhood if I am not? Who shall put down the mockers of this initiation for all time to come and those who follow after me–if I do not?”
Thus, beloved, I, Raphael, come. And I may stand, therefore, my Electronic Presence now over this Messenger, and I may seize the sword which you have placed in her hand as all may use it as a physical focus. So, beloved, to give such an instrument is good, and then to give oneself as the sword–is it not the cross of white fire? Does it not flash back to you the gleam of the Diamond Heart of Mary and of Morya?
Thus, beloved, defend this Mother of the Flame. Defend the rising sacred fire within you. And let this Community become one of adepts and of exemplars to the nations. Let your names, faces, your example, and your discipleship be heard of the world around that all may come to see and to know and to understand what is the reason for being, the reason for devotion, the reason for the love of the will of God that is a part of that energy of fire that keeps you enduring until you fulfill those things that are given unto you.
Legions of Truth, come forth! I command you in the name of the Divine Mother Mary. Go forth now, as never before, in this moment of the open door of opportunity to cut free the Lightbearers of the planet by Cosmic Christ Truth that does come through the mind, that does come through the intuition of the heart, that does come through the soul, through the memory, and through the saturation of this earth body with the golden flame of illumination twining and intertwining the blue ray itself!
Legions of Truth, seize your swords and teach these who would learn of you the wielding of the sword of Truth, how to defeat all enemies of Truth, how to divide the way between the Real and the Unreal, how to divide error from that which is the correct way and action of righteousness itself. Thus does the Divine Mother wield the sword. Thus does Mother Mary wield the sword as she does go forth with me.
Blessed ones, the so-called Catholic view of Mother Mary is not the Ascended Master reality and you must come to understand this. As beautiful and divine as the Blessed Mother is in this tradition, you can see in her a more universal and cosmic manifestation that does represent so many facets of the Universal Woman, even the Woman clothed with the Sun, <7> even my Mary.
Blessed hearts, therefore Mary does descend with me and with our legions even into the astral plane. And she does speak as a very stern mother, even as Kali herself, to rebuke those who are there who have not listened to their teachers and who are the rebellious ones. Do you think they treat her any better than she is treated in this world by those outside of the circle of Catholicism? In some cases, I tell you nay. But for the sake of the souls who are entrapped by the fallen ones she does preach, I do preach, and so do our legions.
Do you understand, beloved? You preach the Truth when you see, or perhaps do not see, that a soul of Light is trapped by the sophists, by the fallen ones in their faulty reasoning and their misuse of the divine Logos in logic and debate. Thus, beloved, you preach to them, but it is the soul that is in awe of their mechanized brilliance that you have come to deliver. Thus it is well to know how to defeat these fallen ones by the sword of Truth.
Therefore, let that sword proceed out of the mouth of the Two Witnesses <8> and out of the mouths of all who follow them witnessing unto the eternal Truth. For the divine office of the Two Witnesses must one day be passed to their chelas and disciples, each one wearing that mantle. And the mantle is worn by twin flames, beloved, witnessing unto Alpha and Omega and all of the teaching, for it is the Law and the order of Hierarchy that all must move on in that course and dispensation.
Therefore see well that the initiations of those Two Witnesses must be taken upon yourselves. And it is well to do so small increment by small increment daily as you call to be taken to our retreat, in addition to the retreats of the Chohans, [to] that retreat over Fátima, to understand what is the calling of the Two Witnesses.
There are always two, beloved, and it does begin with you and your twin flame. But you may find yourselves as two disciples (whether [both] male or [both] female) together, whether as teams of husband and wife, brother and sister, and so forth. For the Alpha, the Omega polarity must be kept.
We come, then, to witness. And we come to [bear] witness [to] the manifestation of the divine protection of the witnesses of Truth, the Messengers of Truth, and all of those who have followed the sword and the shield of Pallas Athena. And I say of this sword, beloved, in the hand of Pallas Athena it shall be the sword of Pallas Athena and in the hand of El Morya it shall be Excalibur and in the hand of Mother Mary it shall be that sword of Kali. Thus know that we may wield the sharper-than-the-two-edged sword and that you yourselves may be that sword in manifestation.
Let the protection descend, ordained by Almighty God, upon this Community and all who retain that inner alignment with the will of God. Remember, beloved, to center in the heart of Christ daily, for in that centering do you receive this protection.
The beloved Mother Mary does come to give to you, then, the report of our recent excursion into the planes of the astral. You must understand that this excursion does include the descent into levels of the physical earth where you live, for the astral plane is a state of consciousness and not merely a place you go out of the body.
Many people upon this planet, a far greater percentage than you realize, are in the astral plane and in embodiment. Far more than you realize are the undead, the living dead. Far more than you realize, beloved, are in a state of peril and imperil–imperil being defined as the violent misqualification of the light of the chakras which does place their souls in peril.
There are souls being lost daily who are caught in the astral consciousness, fixed, “hosed” to the television set, which does feed into them astral effluvia and does take from them light. It is a two-way hose, beloved; they receive the astral plane and their attention does give and sustain the media by what light or energy they have within their beings.
The matter is so serious, beloved, that we have come in this hour. For it does fall upon the mantle and office of Mother of the Flame and Mother of the World and all who serve under that Divine Mother, such as ye, to make those intercessory calls both on Friday night and on Wednesday. For the Wednesday night service is also a very intense action of the Divine Mother. And you would do well to pick up and accelerate your calls, for the emerald ray of Truth does indeed penetrate the astral plane and there is an excellency in our troops and legions working with the blue-ray, the violet, and the purple legions of Light.
Understand, therefore, that our message and our report is this: that souls who began with a threefold flame are losing their threefold flames. They are reaching the point of [the] squandering of [the] light where that divine spark is either about to go out or has gone out already. Thus, beloved, your calls for intercession must be for the saving of the souls who once walked toward the Light and toward the Central Sun who have been beguiled.
And, blessed hearts, if you can see the reality of your leadership, the best minds, the best educated being beguiled by the serpents that come out of the East, out of the darkness of the misuse of the mental body–these serpents, beloved, using on them all manner of psychopolitics, psychotronics, manipulation of brain waves–if you can see how the best of society have lost all allegiance and tethering to Truth, can you not understand also how those not educated at all as to the deeper mysteries or the realities of Life should also be lost? And these are lost in other ways.
For there is a way to be lost for every lifestream, [“a way that seemeth right,” <9> according to their own spiritual blindness,] for everyone who does exist in embodiment upon earth. And that way, beloved, is suited to that person’s inclination, that point of pride, that sense “I know what I’m doing, I know who I am, and I have the intelligence to evaluate the facts and to make up my own mind and to be my own person.” All the while this turning around to Darkness is taking place.
And so, beloved, there can be prior to even physical calamities such as those prophesied a far greater holocaust than many could even be aware of upon this planet. And that is the loss of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and even millions of souls by this process where they lose the light, they lose the threefold flame, they lose the spirit and the energy of God within them, they become vegetablelike; and they then, beloved, are simply plugged in daily to the mass machine of the mass consciousness and the beasts of the astral plane of the false hierarchies of the International Capitalist/Communist Conspiracy.
Therefore we ask as intercessory prayer, which will also assist El Morya in being unbenched, for the cutting free of those souls who did once serve the Light, for the cutting free of those who are in grave jeopardy who can be saved, who are well-meaning lifestreams but have never admitted the reality of Good and Evil nor desired to tether themselves to Absolute God-Good.
This, then, is the dilemma of the age, beloved, for we desire to see a certain harvest. And when you speak of sponsoring Masters, speak also of sponsoring angels and Archangels! For we tell you, beloved, that if so many be lost, where are we who have sent forth our energy and our Light and our dispensations from the Central Sun on their behalf? The more souls who are lost, the more, then, we must pay and the less we can then offer future generations.
Thus it puts in jeopardy the entire path of initiation. And that path of initiation, beloved, is through the heart of the Guru who is Mother. For it is the Divine Mother through whose heart you come; for it is the Divine Mother and her Light that has been violated by all in past ages. The restoration to the Trinity is through that heart of the Universal Mother and that heart of the Mother is indeed blossoming in all of you.
Our report, then, of our journey to the astral plane in the physical and the nonphysical world is that conditions have gone far beyond what can be imagined and that something must be done and must be done quickly. It will be easy, then, for you to insert a very simple phrase [in your calls and decrees] that the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood go after those Lightbearers who must not be lost, those who once had a threefold flame, those souls who can be remagnetized by the Great Central Sun Magnet to the divine polarity of Alpha and Omega, those souls who can be reached through some form of Truth, beloved ones, whatever that might be–even the arm of diet itself that can begin to correct [their out-of-alignment state] and bring them into balance whereby their minds are emptied of these drugs and [harmful chemical] substances and can be filled again with Light and the knowledge of Truth.
Thus it is the challenge of the year for the Messenger, for the Community, and for all Lightbearers of the world. I know, beloved, that all of the decrees that you are giving when directed to this end can be for the fulfillment of that purpose of the cutting free of souls of Light by the legions of Truth. This, then, is the reason for our coming.
And now you will see that our angels who come to you are each bearing an emerald stone. You will see the emerald stone in the right hand and the jade in the left. (And thus I have also recharged the Messenger’s jade for that purpose.) You will understand, beloved, that this is the Alpha and the Omega, this is the Light that focuses healing as well as piercing initiation.
These angels come to touch you on this occasion of our celebration of the victory of these decades in the lives of both Messengers. They come to touch you, to raise you up, and to show you that the challenges to Love in this Community must be mastered by the living flame of Truth [and] that Truth must be in defense of Divine Love even as Comfort does come in defense of Truth.
And if you would carry a greater Light of the Brotherhood, you must be ready to bear it on each and all of the rays, and you must recognize that initiations come on a daily basis and they must be met. For this Community must be tried by fire <10> if it is to survive in the physical octave, and that trial by fire must come upon you. Let it be first and foremost the emerald fires that you might be realigned with Truth so that when the initiation does come, beloved, you have already been purged of those substances [of misqualified energy] which would cause you pain if you did enter the fire [while still] retaining them.
Let the living flame of Truth prevail, for I, Raphael, have spoken! And once these angels have touched you–and for some the sensation will be as hot coals where there is transmutation needed and for some it will be as the coolness of the cool stone itself, for you have prepared the way–then let those angels go forth to those souls who can be saved, who can be received.
Blessed hearts, they are not ready to be touched but they may receive comfort, comfort from the Holy Spirit, from Pallas Athena, from all of our bands and those of the Third Ray. Blessed ones, you are the cushion for them between that which they need, that which they cannot receive for they have lost the Light, that which they must receive.
Understand, beloved, such a dilemma–that our Light is too great for them to have. For if they were to have it directly from us, it should consume them. Even if you were at this moment to stand in the Great Central Sun, you also would have considerable difficulty. Thus, you see, there must be a bridging of that gap; and your aura is that bridging, the aura of Divine Love.
The aura of Divine Love is the signal of The Summit Lighthouse that does go forth and is a beacon of hope to these souls. It is a ray, it is an energy, it is a reality! And when they feel the reality of living Love, then and only then can they recognize the false loves of all these other things to which they have been addicted and tied.
Let your love so shine that they may see that love and know that we, the legions of Truth, have come and are coming to the rescue. And [let] those who have cursed the Divine Mother Mary, let those who have cursed even this Mother of the Flame, let those who have cursed the office of my beloved Mary also have [i.e., experience] the consuming action of the Ruby Ray and then be converted back to the inner polarity with the Divine Mother which they did violate long ago. And thus their hatred is very great for that manifestation of the Mother wherever it is found.
Blessed ones, you have been drawn to this activity and to this Community here for the Retreat of the Divine Mother that is over this place that does complement the shrine of Shamballa of the Buddha. <11> Know, then, how so great a love is upon you. Know, then, how so great a love is upon the Messengers and all Lightbearers who will come.
Therefore, from the legions of Light, from the angelic hosts from [whose bands] your own Messengers once descended in service we say, one and all across the heavens: A happy birthday to the Mother on earth and a happy God-victory to the Messenger in heaven! May you be swept up this night in their mantle of living Truth and know truly who does walk among you; for, beloved, you have never been told.
Thus, by the cosmic cross of white fire and through the perception gained by your devotion, you are blest in the light of clear seeing in this hour. May you retain it and remember that in the keynote “Whispering Hope” <12> you may bring us to your side instantly. May children and adults alike cherish both the hymn and the orchestration of it and know that the power and the Presence of Raphael is instantaneously in that manifestation, even as Mother Mary does come in the “Ave Maria.” <13>
In the service of the Light of your heart we are obediently the witnesses of Truth. [intonations, 21 seconds]
So it is done, and the Light does now pass through the sword into the ground and the earth receives the charge of Truth for realignment. And Elohim and Archangels and hierarchs of the elements do stand guard; for, beloved, this increment must not at this time cause cataclysm or disturbances in the Nature kingdom, who have all to do to keep the balance for you in this hour. Pray for them and love them, for they love you much.
Though we take our leave, from this hour forward we do not leave your side in this Community. For you have greater need of us, beloved, than you can realize in this hour. Play our songs. We shall be there. Our love for you is infinite, unspeakable cherishment.
