Summer Solstice Final Exam
The Messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet
June 24, 1990, the Royal Teton Ranch
I wanted to talk to you about the June 21 date. I think sometimes it escapes us and people forget that each year every Lightbearer, every Keeper of the Flame and perhaps everyone on the planet has his final exam for the year at summer solstice. I especially observe this with staff and in interacting with people who write to me about certain problems at this time of year. The summer solstice final exam may take place in the month or six weeks before solstice. Even up to the very day you can count on being tested.
Therefore I think it’s important for you to take out a sheet of paper and to grade yourself on how you think you have done. And I would recommend you do it in the following way. Go through each line of the Cosmic Clock. Start on the 12 o’clock line with God-Power and ask yourself how you have used God’s power in the past year in comparison to previous years and to what degree in percentages you have misused that power in criticism, condemnation and judgment. And then continue around the whole Clock, evaluating yourself on each line.
So it is a year-end exam. And commencement and graduation and rewards definitely come at the right time–in the month of June.
Tests passed mean we go on to a new level. We should be on a spiral, mounting that spiral to our I AM Presence. But if we fail too many tests or if we have dug in our heels and said, “I will not change on this point and I refuse to grow,” well, then we find that we are no longer on a spiral. We are on a treadmill. And we’re lucky if we are on the same level each year because, as we know, to be at the same place really is to go backwards. Pretty soon you can’t hold the same place because you have no momentum and no acceleration, so you start decelerating.
The real law of growth in the universe is: Either accelerate or decelerate. You may choose to stay in the same place but that’s wishful thinking. It doesn’t happen. With El Morya, change is the order of the day. Change is acceleration. Change is alchemy. It is the violet flame.
And if perhaps you passed a lot of tests well and failed a few notable ones and maybe some minor ones, what you need to do is quickly ask for those tests to be given to you again. Now, a teacher who gives you a make-up test is not going to give you the same test that the rest of the class had or that you failed, because obviously that would make it easier for you. So when you ask for a test to be given again you must expect that it will come in the most unexpected ways. “Expect the unexpected” ought to be the byword of those who love El Morya and Lanello.
You should not be content to go forward now into this new year of testing that begins with summer solstice knowing you have failed a test and simply saying, “Oh, well...” You can make up that exam. You can pass it. But you may have some penalties in taking it again. You may have to earn 125 percent on the test in order to get a grade of 100, because that’s the way it goes even in the universities of the world when you turn in a paper late.
So better late than never!–and better get on the spiral of this year to the next because the spirals are turning. They are increasing. And we do need to remember that the prophecies are the same. They have not changed....
I would like to point out that unless an angel has told you you’ve balanced all of your karma, you should be looking for it and you should always be sending waves of joy and mercy and violet flame ahead of you. And so that violet flame will be greeting that karma before it ever comes to your doorstep and mitigating it as the Law allows.
It’s very important, even more so in these times, to pay as we go. I know we’re all very much interested in paying debts so I thought I would tell you about any you might have unwittingly incurred by not thinking about the fact that the testers have been around now probably for six weeks, given that we know that the cycle of conclusion on the Cosmic Clock is a six-week cycle.
It’s good to think about where you were in consciousness six weeks before June 21 and make some amends or rejoice in your triumphs. It’s wonderful to know you passed a test when you didn’t even know you were being tested and to look back upon it and say, “Gee, I really came through that and didn’t even realize that I was doing anything special!”

...Take care that in this summer’s celebration of the Goddess of Liberty <1>you keep the vigil in that fire sign. For I tell you, and I come to announce it, that the fire of Leo shall try every man’s handiwork, of what sort it is. And this fire does come to each and every one of you, even as each and every one of you has received already the testing from the Lords of Karma.
Many have not known this but at each half-yearly cycle the Lords of Karma do meet. And all mankind are tested, but especially those who write their letters to the Karmic Board. These, then, must receive a test according to their knowledge and awareness and training, especially their self-knowledge of those things that ought to be cast into the sacred fire. These tests come specifically in those areas of long endurance by yourselves of a form of human creation of which you have been warned.
Beloved, I am sad to say that among you who have received these tests in and around and before the July conference, some of you have failed these tests while others of you have passed them.
I recommend, if you have a sense of having indulged in the not-self and dallied when you should leap in response to your Christhood and that of the Messenger’s, that you appeal to the Lords of Karma to give you another test in this hour that you might pass it and that the record of this year might show that you have indeed determined to pass this test for Saint Germain.
When the test is not passed, the dispensation at that half-yearly cycle is therefore not granted. We demand a token, and there are final exams on earth as in heaven.
When we go to the Central Sun to dip into the fires thereof to deliver to you personally a dispensation for your life, we have a right as cosmic teachers to expect that you in our absence, as we pleaded before the Court of the Sacred Fire for you, did indeed keep the Flame and attempt to give some portion of yourself that might be a worthy offering whereby we ourselves could be vindicated in pleading in your behalf....
1. The Goddess of Liberty is the hierarch and initiator with the Lords of Karma under the cosmic hierarchy of Leo, testing the souls of earth in the quality of God-Gratitude–soul sensitivity to and appreciation of every part of Life.
