Pearls of Wisdom

The 12 Labors of Hercules
XIII
The Brides of Sanat Kumara

 

Daughters of God, I speak to the soul of each and every one. Daughter of God, come hither!  [Daughters of God,] emerge now from all that binds thee and stand, as thou dost step forth from the tomb of Matter, to be one by one the Mother incarnate.

I speak to every soul. I speak to the soul of the one who would be Bodhisattva–who would be the Christ, who would be the Buddha. Whether [you are] in masculine or feminine form, know this, O soul:  I, Sanat Kumara, come in this hour to give to you now the seed of the wedding veil, now the jewel that shall be placed in the crown of Life, which thou shalt receive once thou hast endured unto the end [of all temptation and trial]. <1>

I come, and I call you forth from identification with all that is mortal or human or of mankind. I call you forth to your native Light and to your native parents of Light. I call you forth as souls bearing pearls, each one the pearl of great price. <2>  For the pearl is thy identity–that identity that is wed unto God but has gone forth on a course of separation to gain thereby an increase of [the] manifestation [of the Holy Spirit] as sphere upon sphere of [self- or soul-identification in God] until, when you return [to the kingdom of your Father-Mother God], that pearl shall be of greater price than when you did go forth.

Therefore, my beloved, know that the hour has struck, and there is a great chime <3> and a great bell and a great sign. It is the twelve o’clock hour, and the twelve o’clock hour of Venus is the sign for which you have waited long aeons. It is the sign when you do not turn into a Cinderella but [when] you [do] come apart to realize that you are the bride <4> fully adorned for your husband, <5> the living Christ–for your husband, Maitreya, for your husband, Manjushri.

Therefore, beloved, let the old identifications with this or that planetary sphere or evolution be set aside. May you now and forever be sealed in the identification with all others who compose the Great White Brotherhood in the planes of Matter, your brothers and sisters, soul upon soul. For you have that oneness, you have that communality of purpose and of design; [therefore claim your identification with it. And claim your Union.]

O may the jewel of the diamond-shining Mind of God [now be in balance]!  O may the jewel of the heart’s love now be in balance!  And may you move without fetters into that supreme oneness with one another [born of] that supreme allegiance to the I AM Presence and that adoration of the Holy Christ Self.

I have come, beloved, to see you in this hour; for I would see my brides. For are you not the brides of Sanat Kumara?  And have you not waited long [for] the hour when, as you have passed step-by-step through the initiations of the Chohans and others, you might know [that] I have also come for you?  I come [because] you did come with me to planet earth; therefore, I shall never leave you until I have given [you] all of my heart and being [for your soul’s salvation unto God]. And with me the [other] Holy Kumaras also give that supreme opportunity of bliss for the return.

Thus I am a Great Gatherer even as I have been a Great Sower. And I move up and down the earth and I go and I reach those for whom this chime has sounded. And therefore I call and I present [the records of] our history [to all who have been a part of our pilgrimage to earth]. And [I tell them] that now is the hour to break loose from the bonds of this samsara and to enter in to that new life [which leads to the life everlasting].

A life of loveliness can be lived on earth [as] long as you must tarry here to fulfill your reason for being. For this purpose [my Lady] Venus does accompany me. For we look to your attendance at the Retreat of the Divine Mother, <6> that you might know that this home of Light is indeed a little Venus and that as you draw the circle of fire around it, as [you draw] the solar ring, so you may step-by-step in all of your doings [establish] the culture of Venus [in the Sangha of the Buddha] and give [the] teachings [of the culture of the Divine Mother] to your children and to the many children of Light upon earth.

Blessed hearts, with all that goes on around you and all that you face of the world’s anger for your separating out [from its stranglehold], remember that you live in the joy of my heart and [of] God’s heart in you. And you can know the days and the hours of attunement with [the Lightbearers of] Venus through the Retreat of the Divine Mother above. [For] our evolutions who know you well are longing for your return.

Blessed ones, in case there be among you some whose twin flames have remained on Venus, you may send forth the call [for those twin flames to come to the Retreat of the Divine Mother, even] as the Messenger did send forth the call on behalf of one son of Light that [his] twin flame might come from Venus to abide in the Retreat of the Divine Mother [to] overshadow the endeavors of the unascended twin flame [serving at the Royal Teton Ranch].

Blessed ones, I ask therefore that you call for the Ascended Masters (or [for the] unascended masters) who belong to your mandala as twin flames or [soul mates or brothers and sisters in this divine calling to come and help you]!  Call to them to come!  [Indeed, give the Macedonian cry: <7>  “Come over to the Royal Teton Ranch and help us!  Come to the Western Shamballa at the Inner Retreat!”]

For [those who are a part of this mission] do have my authorization to abide in the etheric octave over this place [in the retreats of the Mother and the Buddha] and to establish with you that figure eight [of Light that passes through two hearts that are as one, as Above, so below. This is a figure eight] of oneness [over which the Light <8> of the heart chakras does perpetually flow so long as the harmony is maintained by both parties]. And that reality can be felt and known so very close [by the “co-workers” who cooperate in a service jointly rendered from the etheric to the physical octave].

Thus, my beloved, there are other twin flames from Mercury [and] from other planetary homes and systems [who may be called upon]. It is time to make that call even into the heart of nirvana [that] all who are tied to the Lightbearers of earth may come and establish with you the [completed] mandala in the Retreat of the Divine Mother.

Since that retreat is so very near, you may stop over either when going [to] or returning [from other etheric retreats of the Great White Brotherhood] each night. May it be so, beloved, for this is a very large retreat [on the] inner [planes]; and [when you go there,] there do appear [before] your eyes the wonders of the great culture of the Mother gathered from all civilizations as the focuses of Light <9> that have endured.

You will see [there] only that which is worth preserving in the etheric octave. Think of all of the art that you can imagine and the science and the music and the invention, all achievements and volumes that contain [the] lives of many noble souls, even of yourselves, that may inspire those of any walk of life[–and you will find them there].

Blessed ones, there is indeed an Ascended Master, at least one, for every calling there has ever been on any system [of worlds]. And therefore no matter what your labor, there are those ascended who have achieved [their] ascension through that labor. It is not the labor itself, as you know, but the love that is poured into it–the kindness and the wisdom, even the intelligence [and the practical application–that will win your ascension].

Thus you find the tradition in Buddhism of the bearing of the Wisdom and the Love, and you see Manjushri carrying that flame of Wisdom and Maitreya that flame of Love. And therefore you will understand that these Bodhisattvas, both sponsored by that Cosmic Being, the Sweet One above, <10> do carry [on] the challenge and the charge [of the “Light brigade” against] the false hierarchies [pitted against the Divine Mother and her seed] in the earth. <11>

Inasmuch as the Nephilim gods who have entered into their genetic engineering have misused the Mind of God, so Manjushri wields his sword [against them and their ungodly deeds] and does beg to be invoked with Maitreya [in this intercessory service on behalf of mankind]!  Thus, I bring him forth [with Maitreya] this night that you might see both of these mighty ascended Bodhisattvas.

Know, then, that the sword and fire of Manjushri will follow that of the Holy Kumaras for the binding of these fallen ones. Blessed hearts, [these reincarnated geneticists who stole the genes of the Lightbearers to create mechanization man and the half-man/half-animal creations of Atlantis] <12> are most despicable and detestable [in their experiments today]. Therefore you shall have instantaneous cosmic reinforcements [from the hosts of the Lord] when you make it your goal to bring them to judgment at the Court of the Sacred Fire. <13>

[As for his part,] beloved Maitreya has the authority to sponsor you [in making calls according to God’s will] for the binding and the judgment of all false teachers in every area of life and the false chelas under them who [are the reembodied fallen angels and the seed of Satan who] move against the chelas of [the worldwide body of the Lightbearers of the New Age].

O blessed ones, let there be another conflagration [of sacred fire for the purging of the astral plane]!  Let there be another [round of Light’s invocations] as intense as the last, as the grand finale of [the spiritual] fireworks of this conference on the morrow. We invoke it!  And all [ascended beings] who have spoken shall gather. And as you make that call, you will see such reinforcements from all of cosmos that [you will know that] it is truly the hour to enter the lists and to bring your [notes] to be certain that you have [pinpointed] every form and manifestation of every betrayer of the Word and the Work of God since the beginning. Let us see, beloved, how with a clap and [a] thunder of all hosts of the Lord the earth may be delivered of these [disembodied] fallen ones, that the great souls of Light [waiting in the wings] might descend [into embodiment].

Therefore remember to keep the vigil of the violet flame in the day, for the violet flame angels of the [cosmic] cleanup committee must come and consume, [i.e., transmute,] the records that these fallen ones have left. We shall not desire to see you lose the full cup of victory by a forgetfulness to call for the utter transmutation by the sacred fire of their words and their works, lest the records [that remain on the physical and astral planes] should serve to trap innocent, unwary souls into the [very same behavior patterns of the fallen ones in their prior] activities. The records are mighty teachers, beloved, and there are always chameleons who [do not discriminate, who] will [take on the color, for good or for evil, of] the vibrations [of events] that have gone [on in the locale where they live].

Thus, beloved, we come. And we come with a great sense of inner quietness and we desire you to enter into the quietness of the Eighth Ray chamber of the heart. This is most necessary after [you] have been involved in the battles that you have engaged in [on the astral plane].

Going within to that place [of the eight-petaled chakra] in meditation, in hymn, in mantra, in [the] sounding of the sacred name and [in the] understanding [of] one’s [true self–this] going within and within and within to the very presence of the inner God is a withdrawal from the fray [for a sacred interval], beloved; for there [in the Holy of holies of your innermost being] none may find you until you emerge again.

It is a samadhi of sorts. <14>  [This “inner retreat”] is necessary for inner healing and the regeneration of the psyche and the lower vehicles [for renewed service to life]. Ascend, therefore, to the mountain of your Holy Christ Self. And in that mountain of God survey, then, the vast ranges and the beauty of the earth, and let your eyes transcend the octaves into etheric skies where heavenly birds and angels commingle and the rainbow rays of light and even the Causal Bodies of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are visible.

Allow the eye of the mind to move into the vastness of physical space, and then when the eye reaches the horizon let your gaze go beyond and be led into infinity by your I AM Presence. Thus know the joy of experiencing God even while treading these vales, <15> which are in fact, beloved, veils of glory though they appear to be veils of [maya and illusion. What you make of them] depends simply on what dimension you decide to be attuned with.

I, therefore, come in the presence of many hierarchs of Light. See, then, the heavens filled with numberless numbers of great beings who have come to love you, to instruct you, to accompany you, to make you fearless, [and] to take from you that fearfulness of God, that fearfulness you have even of your own I AM Presence.

Fearfulness, beloved ones, is the greatest enemy of the chela, and unless that fear is cast down and cast out it shall become thyself, until thou shalt be counted [among] “the fearful and the unbelieving,” <16> who enter not in to the consciousness of God or the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed ones, [you ought to] fear to be denied the bread of Life. [And then you need to get to the bottom of that fear and unbelief that could actually cause you to be denied the bread of Life.] Fear–beloved, understand what is the meaning of this condition of consciousness. Understand that nonbelief is always the nonbelief that the Great Guru will come and will love you and will tenderly enfold you.

So convinced does the individual become that he is not worthy [to be loved by God] that he truly does become unworthy, and [in that state] none can help him. Therefore that one judges the Guru to be hard <17> and not to be extending the Divine Love and [the] mercy of forgiveness [that he believes is due him]. This [sense of worthlessness] is ingrained in some on the planetary body, [and not] a few who have called themselves chelas. Blessed ones, this state of fear and unbelief is in fact [the outcropping of unconscious] hatred of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and the Mother. [And] it [can be] all-consuming as a cancer, [if unchecked].

Therefore I, Sanat Kumara, tear the mask from [the individual chela] who points the finger at the Messenger or the Guru to deny that [the] God [in him] is able to raise up [the chela]. I tear the mask, beloved!  For some it is the eleventh hour and the twelfth when they must either cast out this condition of consciousness or [themselves] be cast into outer darkness. <18>  [And the outer darkness they will find themselves in will be the outpicturing of their own inner darkness.]

Where, therefore, is the foundation [of Love?  Where is] the fountain of Love that responds to the love of God in all manifestation?  Where is that Love, beloved?  [I tell you] it has been displaced [in the heart and the solar-plexus chakras <19>] by [that hardness of heart, which begets] fear and nonbelief [in the emotions].

Thus I speak, beloved, and although you may not be consumed by these conditions, I suggest that you look for splinters of them, threads of them, in [your] garment, which [if not removed] will in the end defile the wedding garment. <20>  I suggest that you go to the very core of the unconscious <21> (at least with your dynamic decrees if you cannot otherwise reach it [by self-examination or psychoanalysis and the method of free association]) and call to Almighty God to bind that fear, which you may have even at [the sound of] his distant footstep, to bind that unbelief.

[Fear and unbelief] is a sinister force, beloved, and it moves at the deepest levels [of the psyche] and this is why it is not cast out by reason [or] by study. It can be cast out only by a greater love. That greater love you will find in Maitreya, Manjushri, Gautama Buddha and the entire lineage of Christed ones.

But, blessed hearts, you must desire to have them, to know them, [and] to be in their company without fear [of karmic retribution through these Persons of the Lawgiver, without unbelief in their God-power to save thy soul to the uttermost and without resistance to paying the price for thy soul’s going out of the way of the law of Life, Truth, and Love].

And so it is the old problem of the dragon swallowing its tail. It is the problem [of the] fearful [and unbelieving ones, who] need the presence of the Guru [yet who] deny that very presence by their fear [of him] and [their] unbelief [in him. Thus, instead of swallowing the whole law and the whole salvation of the Guru, they keep on swallowing the tail of their own fear and unbelief.]

Thus, beloved, you may see [why] the idol of self must be broken. That is why Jesus, my Son, did speak of casting that idol of self upon the Rock of Christ that it might be broken. <22>  Those who fear to be broken, those who do not believe that if they are broken there shall emerge that pearl of the True Self, will find that the Law will come in the Person of the Lawgiver unto those who have rejected the Christ. And that Law will break them and [it will] break them in pieces, [as the prophet said;] <23> and they will have no further recourse, for they have not had the courage to embrace the Guru and to feel the piercing of the sword of the Guru at the moment of the embrace.

Blessed hearts, this is the equation. And the “I” that is the self that declares “I am” in this world must be willing to abandon that self and know that the Real Self and all of the self that is worth saving will be instantly embraced by the “I” that says “I AM” in the next octave. Those who cannot solve this koan, <24> those who cannot take apart and put together again the pieces of this puzzle, will not endure. Therefore it is written in scripture and it cannot be turned back:  the fearful and the unbelieving will not enter into the kingdom of God. <25>

No matter how much you may desire to cover over this [fear and unbelief], there is a sound that is perpetual that is emitted from the unconscious, [which] all who are of our bands may be aware of [whenever they choose]; and [thereby we] know who are those ones who deny their God from deep within. And therefore [because of that which is beneath], their surface actions do not qualify them to be a part of the Community, of the Sangha, [any more than their ancient records of self-alienation from God would qualify them].

Know this, beloved, that Ray-O-Light has come to this Community for more than one reason. It is to bring such a Power, Wisdom and Love of fearlessness flame that those who stand in that shower of Light <26> might feel the transmutation at the very core of their being of their fear and doubt and nonbelief.

But, beloved, [neither the solution nor the resolution] is so simple as passively standing in the shower. [Your free will must be actively engaged!] Every jot and tittle of denial of God must be consciously plucked out, overturned and replaced with the affirmation of God-Good.

This must be done, beloved, [and it must be done] not merely with the [mouth, mouthing pleadings before one’s “angry God,”] or with the [rote] repetition of decrees, but through a profound surrender [of every form of your denial of the Godhead dwelling in you bodily]. <27>  [This] does demand courage and the courage to be done with all doubt and fear!

I tell you there are some who have accomplished this and prepared themselves to receive [the living] Guru. Inasmuch as the Guru embodies the law of each one’s being, there is expectedly a certain harshness, a certain sending of arrows of blue flame [from the loving, all-wise Guru] to quench those fiery darts <28> that the wicked have hidden within the folds of the garment [while] the soul, unawares, has gone about her life carrying those fiery darts that may explode at any moment to her own demise.

There is a necessity for the Lawgiver to come in the sternness of the Law, for in no other wise [and by no other means] shall the soul rise up to face her God and her karma. Therefore, beloved, those who fear this approach (which all of those of our lineage have always taken to bring souls out of harm’s way and to disentangle them from the worst enemy of all, which is their own [lesser] self), those who cannot deal with this, you see, [those] who are [always] waiting for the “sweet voice” of the “Sweet One,” they do not understand that they must go through this blue fiery trial until they may receive the Wisdom and the Love of the Bodhisattvas, of the Buddha[–and, yes, finally of the Sweet One].

Those who cannot receive and deal with what they have sent forth, those who do not have the courage to [receive and] deal with their [returning] karma, those who would rather justify themselves than justify the Law, they do not enter in. And many times they leave, beloved, and begin a campaign of great despite against the Community of those who are willing to stand, face and conquer [the enemy within and without] in the presence of El Morya or Archangel Michael or Hercules and Amazonia and the blue-lightning angels.

Blessed ones, it is simply the Path, and the Path has resulted in millions of victories over the long centuries. May you know that this is the course that God has set. It is the course that I have set, not only for a recalcitrant humanity but for the recalcitrant children of the Light who have tarried far too long in the garments of the inhabitants of this particular planet.

I tell you, beloved, there are some who are self-styled chelas who in their minds design what they consider to be the perfect Guru. Then they go about testing [each supposed guru] whom they meet to see if he comes up to their standards, and when he does not, they cast down that idol and another idol and another idol [until] they all come tumbling down; for the false chela is never satisfied until he receive a false guru who does come with a prattling of peace and passivity and does not rock the boat or even trouble the waters [that] the monsters from the deep [of the would-be chela’s psyche] may be exposed.

So you see, beloved, there are very knowledgeable know-it-alls upon this earth who will judge and measure and see whether or not you are a chela, whether or not our embodied Guru is a Guru. Let them have their own standards and their own measures and their own [karmic] weights; for I tell you, beloved, they shall not enter in. For they prefer to abide in the illusions and the maya of the circles of flattery and [the] personality cults [and the phoney religions] of the fallen ones than to be rid of their fear and consequent hatred of the Guru and their nonbelief in a true system, the infallible system of the Great White Brotherhood. It is infallible unto those who embrace it. It always works, beloved, for those who submit to the rod of the Law.

Thus I come to tell you, beloved, that surely, surely you must desire even the portent of all of the First Ray and the blue lightning you have invoked. Surely you must desire that [all that it signifies] shall strip from you those conditions which you have held to in defense of the pseudoself. And it is a pseudo-self, beloved!

As it has been said, you have not truly entered into the fullness of who you really are [or into] your God-identity; and one hundred years hence you will look back upon yourselves as you are [today] and you will wonder how you, in that state of density, even had the quickening to know and to hear and to believe and to move on and finally to attain that alchemical marriage.

Beloved ones, I am speaking to you as [my] brides, [i.e., my chelas]. And above your physical temples we now see the soul as the bride adorned for her husband. We see, therefore, that the bride is a waiting bride and that the husband is a waiting husband. For it is not yet the moment for the divine embrace or the marriage of the Lamb, <29> for the soul must perfect the [wedding] garment and the [bridal] veil. And as you look more closely you will see there is yet much work to be done upon the beautiful garment that is given to you by angels, [which you will perfect as the seamless garment].

There are some of you, precious ones, who are very close to that oneness, having served the Light for many lifetimes and for decades in this life. And it is for you that we have come to speak in this wise so that you [will] leave no stone unturned [as you pursue the Path] on the First Ray of the Law.

Understand that the Bridegroom may hold a very long pole to keep [his] distance from you until you fearlessly come into my presence, having truly received that [soul] refinement [so] that you may embrace the whole law of the First Ray and contain only the will of God that is good and no longer any human will or [a] will [that is] separate from your own pearl,2 the soul of Light who has descended from the home of Light of Alpha and Omega.

When some are ready, beloved, even one, it is in that hour that all may perceive, by the measuring rod <30> that I bear, what is their position [on the Path], what is their distance in consciousness from the full assimilation of that living Christ.

May you learn the way of Love and the way of Wisdom. For in this world you would do well to become wise as the serpents are <31> and therefore to confound them in their abuses of Divine Wisdom, to overturn them, to best them wherever they ensconce themselves in their powered positions. Thus, you must know what they know, and [you must] know that what they know is a perversion of what I know; and therefore from the [point of the] perversion itself, [you must] by a process of divine reason and induction go back to the original of which theirs is the counterfeit.

Every field of knowledge requires this [scrutiny], that the children of the Light may discover how the serpents have set aside the true law, the true geometry, the true engineering, the true architecture, the true everything, beloved. For there is not a field of [earthly] endeavor that they have not subverted for the trapping of the children of the Light.

May you understand this, beloved. For when they are exposed, when they are seen for what they are, then, of course, the children of the Light are free. And at that moment [the serpents] become enangered and their anger becomes the rage of hell itself, and they would come with the forces of hell to heap upon you all of the fiery coals of hell. In that hour it is Love, as the Ruby Ray love and fire, that will seal you to pass the initiation of the trial by fire. <32>

Thus, [your] wisdom without Love’s protection is not balanced. And Love that establishes the perpetual communion with the Holy Kumaras safeguards, therefore, the Power they accord you when you demonstrate that you will not misuse God’s Wisdom or his Love.

The Power of God is the Light of God, the Energy of God, the Consciousness of God, the Free Will of God!  All of these he has bequeathed to his sons and daughters!  That you do not hold them firmly as your own attainment in this hour is solely your fault. You can correct it from this moment, beloved. And as you have corrected much, so I encourage you; for your strides are measurable and that is good. Yet there are strides to be taken.

I, Sanat Kumara, seal you again in the flame of mission. And I say to you, fear not!  Fear not your God!  Fear not your True Self!  Only tremble at the thought of remaining in the mold of the carnal mind, in the mold of mortality, in the mold of [fear and] unbelief in the Law and [in] the Guru.

Now there is a setting of the matrix as God does firm your will and firm the beauty of the soul as the bride of Christ.

 


This dictation by Sanat Kumara was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet at the conclusion of the Monday evening service, October 9, 1989, during The 12 Labors of Hercules held at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana. [N.B. Bracketed material denotes words unspoken yet implicit in the dictation, added by the Messenger under Sanat Kumara’s direction for clarity in the written word.] Throughout these notes PoW is the abbreviation for Pearls of Wisdom.

1. See vol. 32 no. 23, p. 257 n. 4.

2. Pearl of great price. Matt. 13:45, 46; Gospel of Thomas, logion 76. In the context of religious mysticism the “Pearl” is the symbol of the soul. See “The Hymn of the Pearl,” a poem in the Gnostic text the Acts of Thomas, which describes the sojourn of a prince sent forth by his parents to Egypt to capture “the Pearl that lies in the Sea.”  The story symbolizes the journey of the soul, who, having descended from the etheric octave, loses the memory of his origin and mission and merges with the realm of sleep. Responding to the call of his Divine Parents, he emerges as an awakened one, redeems himself and his soul, and becomes the saviour of his brothers and sisters who have met the same fate in Egypt (which represents the sensual and material, the domain of delusion and death). He finally returns to his Home of Light and fulfills the ritual of the ascension.

From the moment of his awakening, knowing that his soul is naked, the prince enters the path of redemption, weaving his Deathless Solar Body day by day. This is the wedding garment his soul must wear if she is to enter in to (1) the alchemical marriage (the soul’s permanent bonding to the Holy Christ Self) and (2) the ritual of the ascension (the Christed one’s permanent fusing to the I AM Presence). Having “sold all that he had,” i.e., having balanced his karma and having increased thereby the rings of Light around his soul (below) and around the spheres of his Causal Body (Above), he has “bought” with the price of trial and testing and arduous initiations on the Path the “one pearl of great price.”  As Paul said, “Ye are bought with a price” (I Cor. 6:20; 7:23). As all know who have gained their souls’ reintegration with God, known to Hindus as raja yoga, both the chela and the Guru pay dearly for the salvation of one pearl, one soul, unto eternal Life.

On October 4, 1987, in New York City, the Messenger delivered a lecture on the lost years and the Lost Teachings of Jesus, which included a reading of “The Hymn of the Pearl” and the commentary on it from Gnostic Scriptures Interpreted, by G. A. Gaskell. Following the lecture the Ascended Masters Jesus and Himalaya gave dictations in which they commented on this poem (see 1987 PoW, vol. 30 no. 56, p. 494; no. 57, pp. 502-3, 506 n. 14; dictations on audiocassette B87074).

It is the place of the drawing together of many lifewaves.”  See 1986 PoW, Book I, vol. 29 no. 10, pp. 70-71; 1989 PoW, vol. 32 no. 30, p. 425.

14. samadhi [Sanskrit, literally “putting together,” “uniting”]:  in Hinduism, a state of profound concentration or absorption resulting in perfect union with God; the highest, or eighth, state of yoga. In Buddhism, samadhis are numerous modes of concentration, both serene and dynamic, believed to ultimately result in higher spiritual powers and the attainment of enlightenment, or nirvana. On December 24, 1986, Mother Mary said, “Blessed ones, ask for samadhi in higher octaves as you place your heart and soul to rest at night. Adeptship in the path of the Eastern Masters is to be studied and achieved at night” (1986 PoW, Book II, vol. 29 no. 76, p. 662).

24. koan [Japanese, literally “public notice” or “public document”]:  an anecdote, question or statement containing a paradox, used in Zen Buddhism as a form of spiritual training to open the student’s intuitive mind or as a test of a student’s level of attainment. Koans are not solvable by the reasoning mind or intellect. In order to solve a koan the student must attain the same level of intuitive understanding as that from which the master spoke the words of the koan. According to the teachings of Zen Buddhism there are about 1,700 koans, of which 500 to 600 are used by Zen masters today. The following is an example of a koan:  If you meet a man of Tao on the way, greet him neither with words nor with silence. Now tell me, how will you greet him?
