A New Year’s Retreat
II
The Resurrection May Not Be Postponed
“Save the Soul and Seal the Self in God”

The Thoughtform for the Decade of the 1990s:
A Multidimensional Map of Planet Earth

 

The veil in the temple is drawn. Thus, the profane may no longer look upon the Holy of holies.

I, Gautama, come for the sealing of a decade and a century and many centuries of opportunity. I come in the hour when resurrection’s fires can no longer be withheld:  the power of the resurrection [flame can no longer be withheld from the planetary body], beloved. And [the effect of] this flame upon the environment where it descends may be comparable to the energy released in the splitting of the atom.

By resurrection’s flame not only was the stone rolled away but, beloved, boulders were cleaved asunder, the mountains moved, the thunder and the lightning descended; and that which was mortal was set aside as Jesus walked the earth to complete his life span and service, fully the embodiment of the Spirit of the Resurrection. The blessed one, as the Son of man, did demonstrate what must be demonstrated [by the evolutions of] the planet in this hour.

Thus, beloved, [know that] such unpreparedness [as you see on the part of the vast majority of the people of earth] for the resurrection experience may itself be the cause of cataclysm or war or turmoil or disease outcropping when resurrection’s fires [are released]. Understand that the nonpreparedness of a humanity at the conclusion of 25,800 years of cycles of the coming of the Buddhas and the Bodhisattvas must now be dealt with. <1>

It is not that calamity may not be postponed. It is that the resurrection may not be postponed! And the Second Coming of Maitreya and of Jesus Christ will be in the hearts of all.

Blessed ones, the resurrection cannot save that which does not present itself [vibrationally] as the equivalency of the resurrection. You must provide the negative polarity, the Omega, [for the positive polarity, the Alpha,] of the resurrection flame and thus you will be fused to Christ when that resurrection fire does descend.

The Lord God has said that those who are to be saved must be sealed. But lest you think that the ritual of the sealing of the servants of God in their foreheads with the Emerald Matrix through the right hand of the Messenger can be the fullness of the sealing, I come to speak to you now of the self-sealing. You must have the sealing of the self, beloved, so that you may receive the sealing that comes by the Seventh Ray, by the ray of Saint Germain through that Emerald Matrix.

I give you, then, until the morrow to truly seal the self by innermost devotion as you seek to become your Christ, [and by prayer to the Holy Spirit who “itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered,” as Paul said]. <2>  Seal yourself with the right hand upon the forehead and upon the crown [chakra] and the heart. Seal the body as the biding place of the Lord Christ. Invoke resurrection’s fire, beloved, which will only come to those who have forgiveness [for themselves as well as for their fellow servants in Christ].

Thus, the beginning and the ending of the mission of the Lord–the forgiveness of the waters of the human consciousness till they become the wine of the Spirit and the spiritual consciousness <3>–must be that “this mortal must put on immortality, this corruptible must put on incorruption.” <4>

Therefore in the cycle of the night and the day may you come to the point of embracing the Spirit of the Resurrection by fearlessness flame...fearlessness flame... fearlessness flame:  the very presence of Divine Love. Divine Love will embrace the Spirit of the Resurrection, that great being of God from the Central Sun who may seal you if you first seal yourself.

I give you, then, the two most dangerous points [of vulnerability] on the path of initiation. The [first is the soul] being out of alignment with the will and the law of God on the four o’clock line–and with God as Love, as Wisdom, as Power. [The initiations of the flame of God-Obedience charted on this line in polarity with the flame of God-Vision on the ten o’clock line] involve the use of the All-Seeing Eye of God to behold the Divine Lawgiver and to embrace Him. [It is spiritual blindness caused by selfishness, self-love and self-pity (charted on the ten o’clock line) that produces] the out-of-alignment state with my heart as I also sit on [the four o’clock] line waiting, waiting for you to come into my heart of Taurus.

I AM the Buddha, with Godfre, keeping this flame for you, beloved. Do not circumvent this [10/4 axis] any longer. By the violation of the All-Seeing Eye of God through the ignorance, [or the ignoring,] of the Law–by your failure to study it or by your defiance of the Law, having knowledge of it yet going against it–you may still lose everything though you feel quite safe and content in our Western Shamballa. This, then, must needs be corrected.

Blessed hearts, I pray you will seek Cyclopea’s All-Seeing Eye of God to correct misconceptions, misstatements, misalignments. Give Cyclopea a twenty-four-hour cycle to answer a round of decrees to that mighty Elohim of the Fifth Ray to enlighten you, to correct your vision that you might see what you should see. Each time you decide to cross the line of the Law [of Love], beloved, give a round of Cyclopeas and see what you see in twenty-four hours before deciding to go ahead with your ill-conceived plans that may seem so right in the moment.

Now, beloved, the second [point] of vulnerability by which you may also lose all is the eleven o’clock line. Whereas God-Obedience is the key that unlocks the Western Shamballa, so that flame of God-Victory (charted on the eleven o’clock line) does unlock the door to the Retreat of the Divine Mother. [For the Divine Mother] does not receive anyone, no matter what their supposed standing in life, who yet retains the momentums of resentment or the need for revenge or retaliation and their corollary, that despicable state of [self-]ignorance which sinks into envy and jealousy [for want of that self-knowledge in Christ which knows that all things are possible in God to the one who knows himself as the manifestation of God].

Have you known the story, then, of the ancient teacher [Bodhidharma] who when he [had transmitted the patriarchship of his lineage to] the best of all his followers, his chief disciple and exponent of the Law, was on the morrow poisoned by another disciple who was jealous of that appointment?  Think of that, beloved!  Think of such a karma [for the slaying of the Guru,] which comes from the poison of ignorance–[the ignorance that does not see that if one upholds the Teacher today,] one may be on the morrow the chosen one. <5>

Now, forgiveness has much to do with the correction of the misuses of the brightest flames of God-Victory and God-Obedience, forgiving oneself on the one hand for one’s out-of-alignment state [and, on the other hand], forgiving God for one’s plight [of non-victory–being willing to admit that one is always] the victim of one’s own free will and karma, [rather than blaming another, even God, for one’s shortcomings].

 Forgiveness [invoked for the transmutation of all misqualified energy] on the four o’clock line, beloved, is such a tremendous gift; for on this line you send intense violet rays of mercy to all the transgressors, to all the enemies, to all the fallen ones, and suddenly they are cut from you as the sword of the Buddha cuts the rope that has bound you to them by [your own] nonforgiveness of self and others and [your own] out-of-alignment state.

Beloved ones, I have shown this action to the Messenger during your prayers for forgiveness unto others. [I have shown her how] the Bodhisattvas of Maitreya and his angels have taken their curved swords and cut the ropes, cut your ties to the fallen ones who have wronged you. But you have truly paved the way [for this activity of mercy] by sending such intense and all-consuming mercy from your heart [to all who have ever wronged you]. When the rope is cut, beloved, they fall into the abyss of their own unmerciful hearts.

Thus, you see, by [tricking you into] feeding that momentum of the misqualification of the eleven o’clock line, feeding the sense of resentment, deep-seated, for wrongs that others have committed against you, the fallen ones have tricked you into remaining tied to them, [so that you are] continually burdened by these records, continually revolving what might have been had someone not done this or that to you.

Many cords are cut. Continue to make the call; for we would see you fly as the bird of mercy’s flame.

Blessed hearts, forgive your Holy Christ Self for being intolerant of your dweller-on-the-threshold and forgive the Messenger for being the perpetual challenger of that dweller. You would do well [to do this], beloved, for by forgiving your Christ Self and the Messenger you would then find in your life the full momentum of [both your Christ Self and the Messenger] to assist you in so many ways.

Do not put giant rubber tubes around yourself to distance yourself and protect yourself from the deliverer but take the part of the deliverer yourself!  Defend the deliverer, your Holy Christ Self. Defend the Messenger’s right to challenge your not-self. And you will find that working together with both, you shall defeat that adversary and be O so glad that you did!

Thus you see, beloved, it is most amusing, but not always so, that the Guru is found in the position of having to declare war and to fight not only against the dweller but against the individual himself who refuses to take the side of the deliverer. Thus, two wars are being eternally waged by those who come with the flame of the Saviour:  the war to rescue the soul from the darkest self and the war against the carnal mind or perhaps the intellect that does rather champion the dweller than the soul.

Thus it does seem at times a thankless task. But, beloved ones, we have seen this for long, long centuries. We have come to be grateful for small gifts and inches of progress as long as those inches are retained.

We pray that you consider [1990 to be] a year of Maitreya and of Maitreya’s coming into your temple and into your life. Maitreya, being the representative of the Cosmic Christ, beloved, comes for no less purpose than to slay the anti-Cosmic Christ. Thus, you see, Armageddon does extend across planetary systems and even galaxies.

Expect no hilarious reception from the world and do not be shocked, dismayed, saddened or pulled this way and that emotionally at the world’s reactions [to your activities]. They will mock while they have mockery to vent, while they have a press they are in control of or [the media networks or] other areas of [communication]. Do not be amazed. Be amused and move on. They have their day. And such small satisfaction do they derive, can anyone derive, from sarcasm, from mockery of another’s religion or the prophets in the land.

“What is that to thee?  Follow thou me.” <6>  It is all foreknown. They must play their parts. [They must exercise their free will. But in the end they will pay the piper.] And as they squeak out their final attempt to ridicule the Lord within you, know that for some it is the last gasp that they can muster. Such a minor manifestation, beloved. To think that for this they sell their souls and have done so for so long, for these meager titillations, as they have [their day <7> and] their chuckles.

Precious ones, no one who is real in God would exchange for Divine Reality in eternity such a paltry nothingness as that which marches across the type of the newspapers of the world [in place of Truth]. We have better things to talk about this night, and may you also have better things to think about and to lend the energies of your feeling worlds to as you come across such manifestations.

May you not be bruised or hurt, painful as it is to be opposed continually by representatives of the so-called government of the area. They take their stabs as well but your hearts are untouchable. Your hearts are untouchable, beloved!  For the hour has struck and you must move on.

[Forgive seventy times seven, then, and be comforted by the counsel of the apostle Paul:

 

      Be not deceived; God is not mocked:  for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

      For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

      And let us not be weary in well doing:  for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.] <8>

   I say, then, O thou glorious one from out the Great Central Sun, <9> I AM come for the opening of the era of the resurrection and the chemicalization of a world. May all understand that this has taken place before and that it will take place again. And our goal is that with each round there might be a subtle gradation of increase of Light and that the graduates from earth’s schoolroom might now achieve their victory in a cycle that is determinately for that victory.

Blessed hearts, I tell you there is not one among you who has not been waiting for thousands upon thousands of years for the opportunity that is at hand to enter the resurrection spiral; [it is] an opportunity that you have not had for a long, long time. This opportunity was renewed in the physical octave with the coming of Jesus Christ, with Maitreya as his Guru and sponsor.

Therefore, beloved, [what a joy it is] to know that the blessed one, Jesus, did walk the earth in the resurrection flame from the hour when he did quit the area of Palestine, did take his leave for other assignments and ultimately did finish out that beautiful life on earth at the age of eighty-one in the power of the nine and the nine-times-nine and the three-times-three. Such a beautiful fulfillment, beloved!  All of these years the earth received the anchoring [of his resurrection flame] through the mountain chains and the waters, through the fastnesses of the Himalayas.

Thus, the Lord and the Saviour did fulfill all things, even the fullness of the law of the resurrection, that you might follow in his footsteps. Thus did the blessed one abide in Kashmir. Thus did the blessed one ascend from the very heart of Shamballa.

Know this, beloved, unto every one of you is given this opportunity. Yet [is it not surprising that] those of you who have had this Teaching for many years have not understood the threading of the eye of the needle by forgiveness flame, by resurrection’s flame and all in between that it takes to arrive at this goal of the mastery [of the self]?  Thus, though the Teaching be present and the Path be made plain and the heart be desirous, you have in some instances left off of the very first principles of the resolution of your soul with your Christ Self, of the resolution of your soul with all others. Are these [first steps] not the very [rudiments] of the Path?

Some of you think you have this resolution, beloved, but I see the eyes that lack the luster of a fiery Christhood, [the tell-tale sign] of a Light squandered, of a spiritual pride that begets spiritual blindness. [Thus blinded as to the causes of the poor plight of the lesser self,] you do not see how the denial of love for the brother, for the sister, for the Teacher, for all things [of the Creation by Elohim] is depriving you of fulfilling this victory.

Now take to heart my words and seek to seal yourselves this night. For I would send to you on the morrow once again, and for a final once again, beloved, the opportunity for the physical sealing of the third eye by the Emerald Matrix. This will be the conclusion of New Year’s Day following the dictations of El Morya and Serapis Bey.

Thus, those who seal themselves will receive a sealing, a true sealing that is for the saving of their souls. But, that it accomplish the saving of the soul, each one must also save his own soul. Thus, you have two assignments:  save the soul and seal the self in God, in Love.    May you take this cycle of hours as though it were 25,800 years and compress into it your absolute love, your uncompromising love, for your God; and through that love, melt away, simply melt away any residual nonforgiveness or resentment toward any part of life, beginning with yourself, extending to your past lives, to all parents, authority figures, teachers, until you reach the point [on the track of time] when you did not forgive Maitreya, when you began to resent him and therefore began to set up your justification for the rejection of Maitreya and the Mystery School. Thus, beloved ones, it is usual that when the individual leaves off [the service of] such a one as Maitreya or a real and living Guru, one begins to stack up the reasons why that one is not fit to hold that office and that mantle.

You have come full circle, beloved. To forgive Maitreya you must forgive yourself. To forgive yourself you must forgive Maitreya. For the law of cosmos is binding and that law says that where you have left off [the service] of the true and living Guru in any life whatsoever, when you come to the place that you desire to take up the Path again you must go back to the feet of that Christed One, take those lessons again, confess that Christ lives in that temple and thereby immediately know that the Christ-potential also lives in you.

To deny the Christ in any part of life, as you know, results in the vacating of your own temple by that Christ. Thus, even to deny [the Christ of] these little ones, the children in your midst or anyone, one who may not even have the measure of a chela, let alone the Guru, is to stop one’s path completely. <10>

Many who imagine, therefore, that they make progress [on the Path] do not. And the stumbling block [is still there lying on the road at] an ancient point in time. And all things have ceased to evolve, though one may give the appearance of having accrued to oneself intellectual accomplishments, success and many lessons learned by the bitter path of experience, of karma and the exercise of free will; yet always [these are routes taken] in the avoidance of the shortest distance between two points, which is the Guru-chela relationship.

Blessed ones, there is no time left. Therefore, we create out of the cycle from this moment to the morrow an eternity for you, for your own inner reckoning. May you take it and truly come to the point of true inner resolution by Love that casts out all fear, fear to be close, so very close, to one’s God–[for fear] that one’s God will consume that cherished unreality of the unreal self.

To be unafraid of this process is truly the first step [on the Path]. Whether of Zen, whether of the thought of Confucius or Lao-tzu, whatever the path, beloved, fearlessness, fearlessness as Divine Love, must give way to the fullness of mercy’s flame.

Be merciful unto your God. Let your God consume [the unmerciful self]. Let your God perform the surgery that you will never [be able to] perform upon yourself in a million years. Let your God perform it as you would submit to the best surgeon in the world if you were told on the morrow that you had a cancer and in order to live you must part with some precious portion of your own flesh. Sometimes it is necessary to excise something of the self, [whether of the body, the mind or the spirit,] in order to move on in the cycles of the renewal of everlasting Life. <11>

 

Blessed ones, a being of Light from the Central Sun does deliver to me the thoughtform for the year 1990. It is the thoughtform not only for this year but for this decade and some cycles beyond.

This thoughtform, beloved, is truly a cosmic masterpiece!  For this being does unveil something that there are not words in the English language to describe.  It is a device, shall we say, that does illustrate in three and four dimensions, through a great sphere, every step of transformation through which the earth body and its evolutions must pass in order to come to the New Day when the resurrection flame may once again be the option of the embodied Lightbearers.

Blessed ones, increment by increment of change may be dialed on this great sphere that is a many-dimensional map of the earth body, showing the earth from the very center to extended levels of the atmosphere and beyond into that space that is around the planet. Thus, by using this very complex computer, if you would call it that, you may dial to the present moment, to any month or day of the year of this period and see what the Light requires as transmutation, as transfiguration, as change and see how the earth does respond to that step-up and what, then, may be the consequences.

Since the element of free will is at hand, one can see what would be the difference if certain percentages of the lifewaves of earth did embody the flames of God, how this would make the difference in what would transpire or what would be the power of chemicalization and the abruptness or the smoothness [of the process]. Therefore you may dial in the consequences of many choices [and know by a projection into the future exactly what the consequences of humanity’s exercise of free will might be].

This is the type of instrument that one would see in the retreat of Cuzco <12> or in the God Star, Sirius. Now it is placed within the retreat of Cuzco and, as you know, only Ascended Masters frequent this retreat. It is there for the use of the Ascended Masters in guiding the humanity and the evolutions of this planet through their course. But its very presence in the earth means, beloved, that by meditation, by inner attunement, you may gain an inner awareness of these cycles.

Lend yourselves to them, lend your decrees to them and see how you can be instrumental in the very best outcome that can be admitted. It is a thoughtform, beloved, immensely useful to the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood and hence to you as chelas of the Ascended Masters.

Powerful angels of Light of Surya transport this instrument to the location prepared for it in Cuzco’s retreat. From time to time you will receive dictations giving you the awareness of where the planet is in this process of transformation.

I am placing a point of Light, a particle of Light of myself in the secret chamber of your heart, by leave of your soul’s free will and of your Holy Christ Self, to establish a certain point of contact, a certain increase of energy, of helpfulness as well as a [nucleus of] Teaching that perpetually emanates [the awareness of your Inner Reality; the illumination from this nucleus] does suffuse the inner being, giving you a sense of self-knowledge and well-being.

Self-knowledge is the key, beloved. Few have it. Many think they have it. And amongst the population very few seek it. They are more concerned with their awareness of others [and with others’ awareness of them. And what people think of them is of far greater concern to them than what God thinks of them or what they know to be the true and the false of their own identity].

Therefore know the mind of self. Know the nature of self. Know what is the measure of the flame of self. Some of you think you know these three, but you do not know them. Either you overestimate or you underestimate. Be confident in the point of Light that is the point of your Christhood and the particle of Light that I give you [as a source of] some sense of co-measurement and an easier attunement with my heart.

This night I minister to all lifestreams upon earth no matter what their evolution. I must tend to this, beloved.

I have given you the keys whereby you can fulfill the resurrection for the rest of your life as Jesus Christ did. Beloved ones, take these keys from my heart. Take them. I am not ashamed to say to you, I beg you to take them. For I know the time frames. And the time frames into the future when I may offer you this opportunity again would seem to you as almost infinite. Therefore, I beg you to take these keys now. I may yet put on my [saffron] robe and carry my begging bowl [up and down the highways of the earth] for this purpose, beloved, the saving of a single soul and the many among you.

Blessed ones, may I present to you as I take my leave of you the Lord Buddha Jesus Christ, the Lord Buddha Kuthumi, who stand before you fully arrayed in their Buddhahood and [fully capable of] taking you on the long, long yet very short journey to your own Buddhahood.

It is a question of perspective, is it not?

Receive my Sons, beloved, as I withdraw to my service.
