Vol. 33 No. 18 - Beloved Jesus Christ - May 13, 1990
Ascend to the Level of Your I AM Presence with Jesus
Coming into Consonance with the Living Word of Your Own Being
Ascension Day Address 1990
Lo, I AM THAT I AM. I come, therefore, in the body of the Buddha that I AM, the Dharmakaya. <1> I do not lower my vibration any lower than this level, for I desire to establish my Electronic Presence in the I AM THAT I AM to magnetize your souls to the level of your own I AM Presence.
Often the dictations of the Ascended Masters are given at the level of your Holy Christ Self. Thus, you have come to understand and become accustomed to the practice of heaven meeting you halfway. In this hour I, Jesus, compel you to rise to new levels of comfortability in your God Presence.
Some of you are not even comfortable in the presence of your Holy Christ Self and practice avoidance techniques to avoid coming into consonance with the living Word of your own Being. Now I say, resolve this inconsistency [in your world, which is inconsistent] with the path of Maitreya’s Mystery School. Resolve it by Love–by love for your Holy Christ Self, by trust in your Holy Christ Self. And fear not to receive the communications of your Holy Christ Self and to obey the will of God.
Obedience is always a test of trust and faith. Without trust and faith the chela cannot proceed on the Path.
In this hour the challenges at hand, presented to you this evening [by the Messenger], require your comfortability in the very Presence of God, the I AM THAT I AM. Therefore make peace with your God. And recognize that as your goal is the ascension at the conclusion of this life, it is time that you establish acquaintance with thy God. Acquaint now thyself with him and be at peace. <2>
To be at home in the Dharmakaya within the rings of the Causal Body, you must understand that you must contain the desire to be assimilated by God–“Drink me while I am drinking thee.” <3> Except ye eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of man, ye have no Life in you <4> that you may take to the I AM Presence. Therefore make haste to merge with your Holy Christ Self in a point of unconditional Love and unconditional surrender.
Mortals speak about unconditional love among humans. They know not whereof they speak. Should the Love of God, which is the gift to your heart, continue to be given to anyone, no matter how close the tie, if that one suddenly betrays the Love of God, the worship of God, the defense of God and the Community?
However painful the process, beloved, even among families, it must be understood that I came “not to send peace but a sword” <5> to divide the Real from the Unreal. Therefore the loyalty must be to Love and to Divine Love and to those who embody it as an expression of their obedience to God’s will.
I have said before and I say it again, “Who are my mother and brothers and sisters? Who is my father?” Those who do the will of God. <6> Not human ties but the bonds of the Infinite One establish the Diamond Heart of Community. Thus, beloved, beware of idolatrous love and of human attachments that take you away from the straight and narrow path <7> [wherein the soul is bonded to her Lord].
The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away <8> Love. You cannot create a Love flame. It is the gift of God in your heart. It is on loan. Therefore multiply it exceedingly.
Give Love and remember that all that has been taught you by Gautama Buddha concerning the giving of Light to those not of the Light <9> applies to every attribute of God. Give not Love unto those who do not give or receive the Love of God. Purge yourselves of mutual idolatries, human attachments, et cetera. Therefore, let all of your commitments at every level of Life be based, first and foremost, upon supreme allegiance to your Mighty I AM Presence.
There is no need to hide from this Lord, your God, lest this Lord discover and expose the secrets of your hearts. You cannot hide from your God, beloved. And therefore, pray that the Lord will not hide his face from you. <10>
The aspiration to walk in your God Presence is not farfetched. It is not unreal. It is not impossible. Therefore, consider the Calls that I have sent to you <11> and consider that whether or not you have answered the Call and integrated with dispensations offered and given, the spirals move on. They intensify. They wind round the coil of being. And [even] if you have not fulfilled the prior ones, nevertheless the initiations move on.
Thus, you see, beloved, you would consider it difficult to have to suddenly accomplish three or four grades of schooling in one year because you had slept through them. Know, then, that those who truly desire to meet their God according to the schedules of this planet must take the initiations as they come and not consider that free will is an opportunity to postpone and delay, to postpone and delay the entering in to, and the locking of one’s being into, the Godhead.
Happy are ye who have espoused this Path and understand the series of initiations that are afforded you and that are clearly anchored in the dictations from the beginning unto the ending. That is why the Only Mark tapes are so important. <12> [They are given] that you might lock into the strength of the Ascended Masters and establish the knitting together of your Presence with the Presence of your sponsor Lanello. Thus you may truly eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of man, the Son of manifestation being every Ascended Master who has dictated and anchored his Electronic Presence through the spoken Word.
The legions of Light of the Central Sun are encamped across this state, the valleys, the hills, the mountains, the waters. They literally cover the territory, beloved. They have gathered joyously in the defense of the Messenger, the chelas, the Woman, her seed.
All of you, beloved, are precious and loved. My words come to you that you might increase in strength and joy and therefore not experience pain and suffering by entertaining any of the levels of human creation on any of the lines of your Clock that are triggered by your own karmic/astrological patterns.
Beloved ones, the path of the conquerors is a joyous one. When joy flees from your heart and mind, it is truly time to go within, to give perpetual prayers, to [make a joyful] shout unto the Lord, <13> to be grateful, to use your voices upraised to reestablish the connection. Joy can come through the darkest night. It is the sign of inner resolution and balance, of four lower bodies at peace in [the] service of God.
When there is [an] absence of joy, beloved, solve the problem quickly; for the absence of joy eclipses the sun of your I AM Presence. And therefore in that moment [when you let go of joy] clouds are between you [and your God], clouds of world condemnation and clouds of your vulnerability to that condemnation.Then let there be the release of fire.
I come at the level of the I AM Presence, for this is the celebration of my ascension. Though the world has not apprehended the true date and the true hour of that ascent, yet it has been revealed to you by beloved El Morya. <14> And may you understand this great opportunity of walking in my footsteps, walking in the presence of my own Ascended Master Light Body, the Dharmakaya.
Those who choose to walk with God may have a closer communion with their Presence than they realize, while those who assume that communion are often those who have it least. Nevertheless, the hour of my ascension and of the release of that ascension coil from my Causal Body has come.
A week from today you will celebrate Pentecost. What you may receive from that descent of the Holy Spirit depends upon your willingness to assimilate and be part of your own I AM God Presence. To do so will require the setting aside of lesser desires, lesser goals and indulgences and byways. It is your choice, beloved, and you have free will. I simply set before you opportunity and give you to understand the requirements that must be met to benefit from the opportunity.
Thus, may this week be filled with the white Light. May it be filled with those calls of the violet flame and protection and exorcism whereby you truly surrender, and I mean truly surrender, those things that stand between you and your God.
Visualize yourself placing your feet in the footprints of Moses as he mounted Mount Sinai, as he went to that height to commune in the I AM THAT I AM to receive the Ten Commandments. <15> Understand, beloved, that one must rise in consciousness to the heights of the mountain of God to desire to be in the I AM Presence.
Hiking into the mountains of the Inner Retreat is in order as a ritual demonstrating the soul’s step-by-step ascent into the rarefied heights of the dazzling white Light of God. You may pray to meet your God on the mountain, beloved. You may expect such a happening. But do not engage in the folly of psychic nonsense and self-rewarding, and personality-cult attitudes toward our Brotherhood.
There is truly no favoritism on the Path. That which you seek you find. The door on which you knock with purity of heart and love is opened unto you. <16> If you have not conquered hardness of heart, then my Sacred Heart does not have room to be superimposed over your heart.
This is a geometry of life. The equations are simple. They may be more complex in advancing spirals, but [they are] always definable, always attainable if you are willing to meet the requirements and not consider that somehow you are special and [you] do not need to pass your tests and to pass them again and again.
The Law is never satisfied to test you only once. This is not because our God does not trust you. It is because the fallen ones come to tempt again and again, and they do not accept the victories of the Lightbearers. Therefore our God does prove to them and to all the world the faithfulness of his sons and daughters by showing all those who have gone astray and betrayed the Word that no matter how many times you are tested, you again meet that test with joy and you pass it with victory. <17>
There are no final tests, beloved, until the moment you are ascended in the Light and free. You may think you have put things behind you, but God will indeed allow the fallen ones to tempt you again and again, so sure, so trusting [is he] in the love and the love bond that you have with him, knowing that those who love him do not fear to demonstrate again and again that they will live for Christ and for the I AM THAT I AM, come what may, as long as [they have the] calling [from God], day by day, embodiment by embodiment if necessary, never waning, never wearying for their well doing, <18> never becoming impatient with God that they are not soon delivered and taken down from the cross.
O beloved, this perpetual love of your heart for your Mighty I AM Presence endures all things! <19> For, you see, some can last for moments or hours or days or weeks, but they will not last for centuries–not because they are not able but because they refuse, because now they wish to turn the tables and dictate unto God just how long they shall endure and no longer, before they become angry at the length of the testing.
Blessed hearts, you can see how in the very process of the testing the fire increases in the heart. And if you do not use that fire to slay the dweller, one day the dweller will erupt as Vesuvius in a giant anger to overturn all of the Path that you have won, because the soul has not taken seriously the necessity of conquering that [dweller] even while enduring unto the end to receive the crown of Life. <20>
Into Christian theology there has entered the doctrine of Satan, which decrees (and teaches) that the individual shall have but one life and if he will follow the will of God, he will go to heaven. <21> This is dictating terms to our Father. Likewise, it is the satanic doctrine that if you fail, you will lose your soul in hell. This is not the doctrine of Almighty God but it is the demand for terms and the desire to impose upon the children of the Light the fear of failure and the fear of the consequences thereof.
Those who have the fear of failure are the fallen ones and never the Lightbearers. Therefore do not accept any such fear, but do your best and be strong and balanced and make up your mind that in your Mighty I AM Presence you will not fail, and [then] you shall not. But if you make a mistake, if you err in judgment, God will not let his sledgehammer descend upon you. God is a God of infinite mercy to those who have as their foundation the surrender to the will of God and to his Love.
Be comforted, then, beloved, that you are not beyond being tested or receiving the fiery trial <22> or being proven and reproved again and again. It is not well only to be happy when things go your way and the Ascended Masters are patting you on the head or on the back. It is well to have joy and strength and determination midst adversity, midst the test that comes again and again just after you have said to yourself, “I cannot possibly go through this another time.” [For in so saying,] you see, you are setting terms and conditions as to whether or not you will respond to God’s salvation.
I come to offer you, then, the sphere of the ascension flame of my Causal Body. I come that you might touch the hem of the garment of the Dharmakaya. And I come that you might, by a process of transferal, release considerable quantities of pent-up energies, of schism in the unconscious and the subconscious realms. It is a moment when the fire of my ascension can consume much for you.
May the prayer on your lips when you retire this night be a prayer of release and surrender that you might not struggle so much as you enjoy the bliss of God while you are here in the earth. Do not separate yourself from bliss by postponing to the future this consummate love of your soul in the arms of your Mighty I AM Presence.
I AM Jesus, your brother, and I counsel you to let go now of the lesser self, the lesser momentums and the shortsighted goals that are indeed long, long detours. One never knows what might have been on the road of life not taken, nor does one ever understand what the detours can be when alternate routes are tried.
My Dharmakaya, [my] Causal Body, [including my Ascended Master Light Body,] and [my] momentum of ascension’s flame seals now this Community and all negative portents of karma and the challengers of Maitreya who come with their false initiations [delivered] through the fallen ones in and out of embodiment. Thus, beloved, know that out of every false initiation and false initiator among the fallen ones, Maitreya will give you the true initiation of that situation whereby you may vanquish the substance untransmuted in the lesser self and in the process [you may] also vanquish the false initiator.
Beloved ones, these individuals who have determined to do what they would and [what they] will with this property and Community and organization, [who] represent many varied interests and groups, I tell you, every one of them is a false-hierarchy impostor of Maitreya and of the path of initiation. They come to preempt the true initiations of Maitreya, even as Satan and Mara tempted Jesus and Gautama just before the true initiations would come to them [with] the [opportunity for] absolute victory. <23>
Thus I speak of myself in the third person, for the Jesus that I was in the hour of initiation is not the Jesus that I am today. You must understand that you are not the person you were yesterday or twenty months ago or twenty embodiments ago, and therefore you cannot take upon yourself the burden of guilt or limitation that caused past inconsistencies or failures. You are not that person today. I was not the person when I ascended that I was when I was thirty-three.
Every day you are becoming your Sambhogakaya, <24> your Dharmakaya. And you are filling in the mighty strength of the Nirmanakaya <25> as a servant of the Lord.
Therefore, you see that the false initiators came in the garden to tempt, to tempt again and again [the twin flames who were initiates in Maitreya’s original Mystery School] ere the true initiations of Maitreya would be given. You must see, then, this situation for what it is. [It is the opportunity] to defeat the false initiators, that you might stand face to face with Maitreya when they are no more.
To understand that there is a map and a design, a plan and a means to an end in these types of attacks upon the Great White Brotherhood is to have the key to victory. To fear that God is not with you or that something has gone awry, something is not right, will put you off the course of meeting the challenges and having that victory.
Now I say, drink in the cup of the ascension elixir of my Causal Body. This is the new wine of the Spirit that you may drink with me this night in our Father’s kingdom <26> if you have the vigor, the joy, the love, the deep desire and determination to be at that level of your God-free being and to be happy in the process. The doors of the Dharmakaya are opened to you this night through my Causal Body.
Now receive Communion. And as you pass through the ritual of Communion, sense the release as you give to me and place in my heart the cup of sorrows, the records, the memories, the attachments. And truly know that your divine individuality in God is sealed as you drink the blood and eat the flesh of the Son of manifestation that I AM THAT I AM.
May you absorb elements of my Electronic Presence as you sing hymns to me and partake of this substance, which I now bless.
[Holy Communion is served.]

5. ”For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
