Our Love Shall Conquer All!
1989 Michaelmas Address

 

Hail, Excalibur!

Hail, O Living Sword of Eternal Truth!

Hail, Thou Scepter of the Divine Mother,

 Thou Defender of the Woman and Her Seed!

Hail, Excalibur!  Hail, Legions of Light!

And Hail, Keepers of the Flame of Faith on Earth!

[19-second standing ovation. Congregation gives the fiats:]

[Hail, Archangel Michael! Hail, Archangel Michael!

Hail, Archangel Michael! Hail, Archangel Michael!

Hail, Archangel Michael! Hail, Archangel Michael!

Hail, Archangel Michael! Hail, Archangel Michael!

Hail, Archangel Michael! Hail, Archangel Michael!]

My beloved hearts of Light, I am gratified to tell you that there has not been a company of Lightbearers to so defend my Sword and Presence and Flame in many a century. Therefore I acclaim you who have kept the flame of this Archangel Michael tape as my own chelas this Michaelmas! <1>  [19-second applause]

Therefore, hear me, ye slayers of the dragons of fear and doubt, ye who are worthy of the labors of Hercules and Amazonia!  Hear me, beloved!  It is a most unusual occasion when an Archangel can claim unascended chelas of the will of God for his own.

Therefore this is my Christmas in September. This is my Victory. And this is my most glorious day as each and every one of you is for me a Christmas present beneath my tree. [16-second applause]

Beloved hearts, I pray you will see me through to the end.

Will you?  [“Yes!”]

O beloved, I say to you that you have made astounding inroads into Death and Hell whereby the demons do tremble before your spell of Light!  And therefore, behold my shield, for it is in the hand of a blue-lightning angel that does now stand before you, each one. Receive it, beloved. You have sword in one hand, physical, and shield in the etheric octave. Therefore with these two invoke my armour and repeat the call day after day, day upon day.

Beloved hearts, I have somewhat to speak to you of the assignment before us. Therefore be seated and listen well. For I tell you that you have begun a journey spiraling up the greatest mountain of the world. Up that mountain you are spiraling as you have been willing to take on the labors of Hercules.

And thus Hercules did say to me this night, “Go forth!  Anoint them. Let them kneel to receive the blessing of thy sword. Clothe them. Let them receive Communion. For we would surely march with them on the morrow with the fiercest of labors that could be devised by anyone who has ever sought the demise of Hercules or his chelas!”

Thus, beloved, the Elohim of God is determined that you shall reinforce the mighty light of our legions and [that you] yourselves [shall] be reinforced [thereby]. That Elohim [of the First Ray] does therefore come and the Seven. And they come to give you those assignments whereby this world may be delivered of certain increments of karma and certain manifestations of the fallen ones whose time is up, and yet they have not hitherto been pried from their holes for want of such victorious souls as yourselves who have come forth with such diligence to deliver those dynamic decrees.

Blessed ones, the channels [of Light] are being carved deeper and deeper into the astral plane with each repetition of the Word.

You have secured such great gain!

I summon you in the lists of the legions of Light and I tell you, when we are through this fight the Seven Archangels that come under me now, including Uzziel, <2> desire to have [their] very [own] tape that they might also qualify you to be their chelas. We begin at the beginning. And I have said to them, “I will not let these chelas of the First Ray go until we have fulfilled the purpose of this twentieth century!  [For] we desire not to see the [Lightbearers of the world] entering into the twenty-first century unless [and until] certain conditions [of Darkness, leftovers from the twentieth and prior centuries,] are removed from the planet.”

Therefore, God bless Hercules in the physical and in the highest octaves, that he has paved the way for you–a path of initiation whereby in so summoning those labors you may receive the initiations of the twelve hierarchies of the Sun!

Therefore I say to you now, I come with my dispensation. And I am here to clear from you this night the burden and the weight of all condemnation upon you, of all criticism, of all judgment, of all projection of scandal and [the] attempt [of the sinister force through their tools in embodiment] to deny and to destroy the most noble of souls of Light.

I say to one and all, shed this! We the hosts of Light condemn none–nor those who have made mistakes nor those who have not. Therefore let my sons and daughters, who are the sons and daughters of Alpha, receive this touch of the Sword [Excalibur] and know that this condemnation is not deserved by any.

We have come to perform this labor of Hercules ourselves. We the hosts of the Lord pull the rip cord this night and we enter the fight with you. For you steadfast ones who have not feared to labor and to labor and to labor, you have known great victories unprecedented.

Beloved ones, a tribute to Ray-O-Light and his legions of fearlessness flame, who have clothed you in that ray not only for the saving of the Church and the Messenger but also to fortify you personally and to cast out of you all fears and doubts!

Therefore it is a momentous occasion and most propitious that Ray-O-Light himself should this night stand forth upon this platform with his legions of angels of fearlessness flame. And may you behold their mighty swords of fearlessness flame, which they plunge into the demons of doubt and fear.

Blessed ones, you cannot take a single step on the path of Maitreya’s route of initiation unless you have slayed these!  And along with them let us bind despair, depression and gloom, beloved ones!  Nothing is so bad that it cannot be dissolved like a sugar cube in the violet transmuting flame.

Therefore, my heroes, my heroines and those who have built this mighty temple of the Lord in these shelters beneath the earth, even the Sangha of the Buddha beneath the rock, to you I say, you have had the courage to be obedient to Saint Germain and El Morya and to receive the ridicule and the scorn of those who cannot face the challenges of Life or Death.

Let it be known, beloved, that I, Archangel Michael, and many of the ascended hosts have stood by you when you have stuck to your guns and determined that you would indeed defend your life in the physical/in the spiritual octaves no matter what force or forcefield would come against you! 

Blessed ones, I praise you!  I do not condemn you. And therefore keep on keeping on, for you are doing exactly what the Lord God Almighty has called you to do!  [16-second applause]

I tell you, it is a shroud of Death and Hell that the world has sought to put upon this Community worldwide and every member of it and this Royal Teton Ranch. My sword [of blue flame] does pick it up and on contact this shroud of Death and Hell is dissolved.

Blessed ones, remember to wield the sword that is now in your hand, for I, Archangel Michael, do dedicate this [ceremonial] sword this night that is upon this altar. As I hold it in my hand and as you see it as it is marked with my name, understand that when you wield it, my hand is placed over your own and my Electronic Presence is with you.

Each and every sword is thus dedicated. May you use them and remember that you accomplish 70 percent of that which the Mother of the Flame accomplishes with my sharpened sword. Therefore let them be blunt and let her complete that action at the altar. You can accomplish much for your Victory.

The sword unused, beloved ones, is an opportunity lost.

Therefore I trust that you will know that the more you wield the sword, the more those fallen ones will take any opportunity at any hour of the day or night to approach to outsmart you. And therefore it is indeed a most instructive chess game that we of the legions of the First Ray do play daily in action across the margent of the world.

I AM Archangel Michael and I come with legions of Light ten times the number that I have come with on any other occasion. For, beloved, you have earned it and you must know when you have earned it. And you must know when you must work again, harder, to earn the next level of grace.

Blessed ones, we deal with the challenges of each day. And this day we come together to celebrate the Almighty God, his power, and that God-power that you find to be the antidote for the challenge that is the first labor of Hercules.

The challenge, beloved, is to defeat the Luciferian ones [who enter] on the twelve o’clock line, who have seized that power from you and who have used it literally to control the world and to build such arsenals of armaments as to defy all reason and to strike terror to the hearts of many–terror so great that they will not look or listen but will ridicule and condemn those who do not fear to face the possibility of war, even as they do not fear to face the great probability of peace and an age of peace and an age of universal enlightenment and an age of freedom because a people have sought their God and determined to defend that freedom, to defend that peace, to defend that enlightenment!

And so you are doing. And so keep on keeping on, beloved. For this battle will grow more intense with more subtle machinations of the fallen ones ere it is over. We shall see the victory of this battle fully and finally by the year 2001 as you keep steadfast [in your calling from God to defend the Faith].

Do not weary, but pace yourselves, strengthen yourselves and see that you call for a stopover at [my retreat at] Banff nightly on your way to the Royal Teton Retreat [at the Grand Teton] or the retreats of the Chohans. <3>  See that you call [for your souls and your four lower bodies] to be recharged [with Light].

And see that you know the meaning of that moment in the day when you withdraw all energy from the fray and you come to [the altar of God you have erected where you are or to] this altar at the Court of King Arthur, this altar of the Holy Grail [where] the Flame of the ark of the covenant [is guarded by cherubim], and you let pass into the Flame every worry and burden, and you kneel and you say your prayers and you invoke [the Light of the Holy of Holies] and you affirm [the name of God] and you are one-pointed and your attention is upon your I AM Presence and you see me standing before you, beloved. And I shall anoint you again and again and again and renew your forces.

Blessed ones, the key to the victory is to have an interval in each twenty-four-hour cycle where you break the spell of doom and gloom [projected from the astral plane and the untransmuted astral body] and [you break the spell of the] problems [of] the entire astral circle. Let it be broken, beloved. Take the trouble to pass by [the altar of God]. Take the trouble to stand before this I AM Presence and [to] bow to the Mother of the World in the persons of [Mother] Mary and Kuan Yin <4> and all who so nobly intercede for you in their divine office of the Feminine Ray.

You break the spell of the seed of the Wicked [One]; yet they desire, beloved, to keep you going round and round and round [on a treadmill] in the twenty-four-hour cycles until the momentums of world chaos wind round about you tighter and tighter, as though you were caught in the spell of their own maypole dance, which they would dance around you until you are now completely bound to the center pole of their manipulation. I say, break the spell and do it with your sword [of blue flame], with your [hearts] o’fire and with the cosmic cross of Almighty God that is now upon you.

Blessed ones, we deal with realities. We deal with challenges. We deal with the attempts of the fallen ones to ensnare our best servants in those acts, those schemes, those manifestations that would surely bring upon them and upon their house that Divine Justice.

But why do we live, beloved?  We live to see each and every one of you attain resolution [by Divine Justice]. We have but one goal in sight for you. It is the victory of the ascension. Therefore whatever it takes, we will bow to [the law at] that level and assist you to deal with that karma. And you must understand that all things must come to resolution and there cannot be transmutation without the fulfilling of the law of Divine Justice.

Therefore invoke Divine Justice, which is just, which is kind, which is merciful and which does suffice to liberate you from ages-long momentums of darkness in which you have weaved for yourselves many a tangled web. And I trust this web shall be the last, beloved, and that you will be so wise, wiser than the serpents who were the fallen angels of Jophiel’s bands. Blessed hearts, they ever seek to entrap and to ensnare, and we ever seek to cut you free.

Empower us by your faith, your trust, your loyalty and, above all, by the flame of the Spirit [of your I AM Presence, which is] the flame of the Holy Spirit, and a true desire for spirituality. Some yet retain the carnal mind and go after the things of the world in a mental sort of way and do not clear the clutter of the mental body to infill it or have it infilled with vials of Seven Archangels that are not vials of judgment but vials of the seven rays whereby your consciousness can contain the Spirit of the living God.

Know, then, that to stand and to still stand upon this place of this altar does require something of this Messenger that you have not comprehended, nor have you ever truly comprehended the forces that assail this very spot and our coming and our speaking to deliver to you and into this world of form the mighty light of heaven that is indeed your salvation.

Therefore, as you approach this place nearer and nearer in the rows of this congregation, so you are moving toward tighter and tighter initiations and fiery coils. Blessed ones, to stand and still stand at your appointed place among the knights and ladies of Camelot, this is courage, this is honor, this is strength, this is trustworthiness. Be willing, beloved, to take your position and to defeat every foe that assails it, [even as the Messenger must invoke our legions to defeat the foes that assail her position].

Therefore we come to the hour at the conclusion of many thousands of years when this Flame of the ark of the covenant must be defended. And it can be defended, therefore, by the [spiritual] sword [superimposed over its physical counterpart and] by the physical presence of the Mother Flame in the Messenger and in you all.

Know, then, beloved, that when this Flame is as bright as it is, as you have achieved that brightness by the multiplication [factor] of your own heart fire, then that which assails [the Flame and the Flame-bearer] is the very Evil incarnate of Death and Hell that comes even from other systems of worlds, comes by spacecraft, comes by [any] means; but come it [does and come it] shall. [As Jesus said, “Woe unto the world because of offences!  for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!” <5>]

For this Flame upon this altar in this court and in your hearts, beloved, has become the challenge to many lifewaves far beyond this planetary system who are committed to Darkness. Thus I tell you [that] when I ask you, “Will you see [the battle] through to the end and see me through to the end?”  [I know whereof I speak and I desire you to know whereof I speak].

This cycle has begun. There is no turning back. You are already part[way] up the mountain and you must keep on keeping on. And the Victory you shall have, if you shall continue and not faint and not be weary and not doubt and not fear when all does come upon you as attack against this Community. [And] you will see, beloved, such a victory of the age, such a gift to Saint Germain, such a wondrous manifestation that we have longed for for many, many centuries.

And we have known, beloved, that this could not be accomplished until such as you might be in embodiment. And I say, not you particularly but such as you, those like you, those who have become fed up of their human creation after many long centuries and will to be the embodiment of God upon earth, truly the embodiment of Archangel Michael.

And this is my offering in this hour, beloved. For where you would embody even a substance of my Presence, even a feather of my wing, even a point of my sword, you will know the electrifying Light of my Electronic Presence and you will feel your God, your I AM Presence, magnetized by that portion of myself that you do indeed begin to embody as my decrees are on your lips.

Blessed hearts, I would raise you to my level; and to do this, I would descend to your level. And we meet in the heart of the Divine Mother. We meet in the heart of the Christ. Therefore, I say to you, no matter what the task, the challenge, the assignment, do not walk away from it until you have throughly attained your Victory, throughly attained it, I say. Get the victory over every aspect of the challenge that does bring out the worst in you. And when the worst is brought out, beloved, there is no more of the worst to bring out and therefore [the next] challenge [and the next and the next can only] bring out the best in you!  [11-second applause]

Let there not be shame on the part of anyone in this Community worldwide for any actions or disciplines or penances. Beloved ones, all that you go through is to that great and glorious day of deliverance and resolution. Stick to the assignment, beloved. Invoke the mercy flame!  And I say, accept it and go on.

It is necessary to sense your freedom and what the true and profound meaning of the gift of mercy is–of forgiveness and of absolution. But then, beloved, one must go in profound humility for the Great Intercessor of Life, who has given you forgiveness whereby you may now, in Divine Justice and honor, balance the karma you have made against Life, Community, the Sangha and the Almighty God.

Know this, beloved:  We would see you joyous in the midst of adversity and unafraid to face [today] the weaknesses in character, in mind, in presence; for those chinks in the armour could, later on down the line, be your undoing. But this day you have the opportunity to overcome. Therefore, let [the era of] denial be past and let the Truth be faced by you. And be humble, beloved, for it is only by the mighty intercession of the Great White Brotherhood that many of you are here this night. Many of you are sponsored by more than one Ascended Master or angel because it is at that moment of the rising or the setting that the sun shines brightest. And in that piercing light of that sun, beloved, you know that the extraordinary manifestation of God has delivered you to fill in the gaps, fill in the holes, fill in the discrepancies, fill in the absences, and [to] do it one by one systematically.

We are the builders. We are the architects. We are the engineers. We are the Mind of God in manifestation where you are. And we are absolutely determined that you will pass your tests of these twelve years, mitigating world karma [by perpetual prayer in the violet flame and] bringing to judgment the seed of the Wicked [One by your effectual calls to the Seven Archangels]!

Therefore let your Light shine!  Let it rise on the altar of being!  I say to you, beloved, become an intense presence of the Holy One of God, even your I AM THAT I AM, and sincerely seek a path of spiritualization of being. Now is the time when the electromagnetic field of an Archangel can demagnetize from you those desires that pull you down in[to] the astral plane by attachments and other conditions [of your psychology] that you simply have not cleared out. Clear them out, I say. For the Great Central Sun Magnet does assist you, for those fourteen-month cycles of Serapis Bey, <6> they assist you also.

It is a moment when you can achieve great gain. If enough of the Lightbearers of the earth do not take advantage of this moment in the most intense and loving way, I fear, beloved, to tell you the consequences. And the consequences are that the Opportunity shall be withdrawn and you will come to know what it is to eke out even a morsel of spiritual light by the sweat of the brow and the toil thereof. <7>

It is for the Lightbearers of the earth who have seized the science of the spoken Word in many ways that the open door of the Great White Brotherhood remains open. Know, then, beloved, that as it does remain open, it does require of those who are holding it open a greater and greater level of attainment and self-mastery. For, you see, Life is progressive; and as you stand to hold that doorway open, you must defeat the forces that would shut it and would prevent the little ones from passing through. <8>

Those initiations grow more challenging day by day until you have that ultimate Victory on the twelve lines of your Cosmic Clock. Do you see, beloved?  By your very victories you are given greater challenges. And before the coming of the recent challenges and trials to this Community, there had not been so great a [decree] effort [on the part of the student body worldwide] that we could place before you the opportunity for the clearing by our hosts of the Lord at your command and invocation of so many thousands and millions of fallen ones [out of the astral plane].

Beloved hearts, this is indeed unprecedented in thousands of years since the destruction of Atlantis and Lemuria by these [very] fallen ones, [who are now remanded to their final judgment at the Court of the Sacred Fire on the God Star, Sirius]. And I tell you, the mighty shout and the cry of our people unto our God <9> is restoring in the earth those ancient places where the seed of Sanat Kumara did gather and did perform [invocations to the Word and Brahman] as you do in this hour.

Therefore have a sense of co-measurement of your importance to the Brotherhood and simultaneously be profoundly humble. It is so necessary when one evaluates one’s true self-worth for one to be profoundly humble for that God Presence who has ordained it.

Blessed ones, there is no more important activity taking place on this planet than your stand for Truth, than your dynamic decrees, than your continuing to put forth the message of warning to your compatriots nation by nation of the threatening woes that should come [as the result of the] confrontation of the superpowers.

Blessed ones, as Morya has said, they continue and they continue and they continue and they are relentless. For they are on their own death march. They are marching to the drumbeat of Death, and Death is their end. Therefore they have but one goal, to enter [the West] as the spoilers of all time to destroy what Saint Germain and his hearts of Light and chelas have built in recent centuries.

Blessed ones, we desire this Community to be the violet-fire phoenix bird that does rise out of the ashes of [earth’s] Death and Hell to create a new order and a new civilization!

We the Seven Archangels are up to it. Are you?  [“Yes!”]

Beloved ones, you can count on us. We are at your side. And we are victorious with you. Now meet the foe and meet the challenge!  Meet the trial!  Meet the persecution!  Meet all manner of that which they would put upon you and our best servants! 

For better than ye, beloved, have suffered more greatly.

Will you not even taste the cup of the Last Supper when he said, “I shall not drink [henceforth of this fruit of the vine until that day when] I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom”? <10>

Thus, the cup of sorrows precedes the cup of joy.

But remember, every line that is gained, every victory won, every lesson learned, that is what the path of the Great White Brotherhood is all about!  That is the priority of your Father Alpha, who wants you Home! Your Father and your Mother want you Home, beloved!  Know that you are loved and loved and loved in the courts of heaven. And therefore separate yourselves from the antipathies of human parents and human associations that have failed you, disappointed you, betrayed you. Separate yourself from that psychological conditioning of the fallen ones that has sought to make you the victim of the doom and gloom of an ancient karma.

Some of you are scraping the bottom of the barrel of your karma even now. You are at the worst of it, beloved, and you will soon see the Light. Others are just beginning to understand this fight with the dweller[-on-the-threshold] <11> and their own karmic substance. It doesn’t matter, beloved, whether you have a peck or a grain or a bushel. Whatever it is, our God is able and we stand with you.

Therefore change your perspective!  Change your vision!  And look at these challenges as the means to your Victory and trust your God that those things that come upon you are surely for the sharpening of your swords and the testing of your mettle.

Greet them, then, because they have purpose. Therefore greet the bad weather with a determination to God-mastery to defeat it. Greet every challenge on the 360 degrees of your astrology with that same wondrous sense:

This challenge is upon me this day, for this my beloved Father Alpha, this my beloved Mother Omega has sent to me for my swift growth and liberation from all toil of karma of this world.

I accept the challenge in the name of Archangel Michael!

I accept the challenge in the name of Archangel Michael!

[Congregation affirms with Archangel Michael:]

I accept the challenge in the name of Archangel Michael!

Therefore, beloved, you then say,

And I defeat the adversary of my Christhood

 in the name of Archangel Michael!

[Congregation affirms with Archangel Michael:]

And I defeat the adversary of my Christhood

 in the name of Archangel Michael!

And I defeat the adversary of my Christhood

 in the name of Archangel Michael!

And I defeat the adversary of my Christhood

 in the name of Archangel Michael!

 

Therefore, beloved, do not crouch and pull your tatters about you when facing the challenges of the fallen ones. But step forth in my armour. Bear my sword and shield, if you will. In fact, be my armour-bearer if you can.

Thus, beloved, I seal you in the greatest love that the world has ever known, the love of our Father-Mother God, the love of our hearts as one. This Love, beloved, shall conquer all!

In the name of my son Micah, therefore remember the banner of Unity. For all your strength is surely in your union with your Mighty I AM Presence, with your Holy Christ Self and, on that basis, with one another.

I seal you with my sword and I invite you to partake of the Communion of the Body and Blood of the Cosmic Christ, who does stand before you now. Therefore, having confessed your sins [to your God] this night, receive, then, the Body and Blood of Alpha and Omega and go forth, beloved. For we have this world to conquer, other worlds to conquer, and new worlds to bring into manifestation.

Architects of the destiny of the future, I summon you to my council table and my grand hall at Banff. I will see you later.

[22-second applause]
