The Code of Life for the Initiate
The Ten Commandments
The Lord Has Promised to Empower You
Unto all who have kept the flame of the ark of the covenant I speak. I direct the ray of light from my heart, even the ray that did descend from Almighty God to etch in stone those covenants that our God would make with a holy people.
These tablets I did break out of rage toward a people who would enter into the golden-calf civilization and materialism while I would commune upon the mountain with God. <1> Therefore, for the stubbornness of that people, God did then inscribe but ten commandments to be kept. <2> And the path of the Mystery School that had been inscribed [on the first set of tablets] was no longer [written] in form. <3>
And what do we see today?
Scarcely any can even keep those ten codes of the Law, which are binding upon the servants of God upon earth if they would maintain their tie to the Mighty I AM Presence.
Enter the mercy and grace of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who himself did not exempt you from keeping the law but did come to fulfill the law and the prophets. <4>
May you know, then, that the violet flame may be the grace of forgiveness and the erasing of the records of sin, but the breaking of the law, beloved, is a setback to your lifestream in a given lifetime and perhaps for succeeding embodiments. Therefore choose grace as well as the law and live to fulfill your destiny in this hour!
Now the ray from my heart, as I am one in the I AM THAT I AM in the ascended state, does engrave upon the tablets of your heart, does engrave on your inward parts the code of life for the initiate who would enter into the ascension coils of the Divine Mother in this life.
I myself did pass into another incarnation and you have known me in my final embodiment as Lord Ling of China. There I perfected the wisdom, fulfilled the balancing of my karma and did espouse the flame of God-happiness. [This I did] in view of the great mourning and depression that is carried by so many of the children of Israel and Judah, who have gone forth in a state of burden of their karma and in a state of depression concerning their absence of knowledge of the true path of salvation and the promise of heaven and victory on earth.
Some are even wed in a greater way to materialism than they were in the moments when we were in the wilderness and at the foot of Sinai. Yes, beloved, materialism and the pleasures of the senses are addictive. Far from getting better, [these addictions] get worse.
Thus, I engrave, as God does engrave in your hearts, the true mysteries of the kingdom, the true understanding of the requirements of the Law and the Path. If you are not able to read this writing, know that it does burn within you, that it is a living fire, that it is the fire infolding itself. It is the all-consuming fire of God that will, if you allow it, consume in you all those manifestations less than the fulfillment of the Law.
May you early seek the sacred fire and then the violet flame and then the calls unto the Seven Archangels. For those of you who have descended from this seed of Abraham, who also descended ultimately from the seed of Sanat Kumara, do indeed have a destiny in this hour; for your training in the ancient golden-age civilization of Jesus Christ does fit you to be true shepherds.
Thus, Jesus knew to whom he was speaking when he said, “Feed my sheep.” There are those who are rightly able and called by their karma and destiny of dharma to feed the souls of the millions upon earth. I call you all to this calling, for you may be adoptive sons who have chosen to enter in to claim your joint heirship with Jesus of the sonship that does belong to all of this seed of Light. Therefore whether you are adoptive sons or [count yourselves as] those who truly trace their traditions to the beginnings, I am come to draw you into the office of the high calling of your destiny.
You may choose not to look [at it], to cast it aside, to walk in the other direction. But I will explain to you, beloved, that the requirement for the ascension of every individual is unique and is different from another. Unless you fulfill that which is your personal calling in this life, do not expect to equate yourself with the adepts who have gone before or the Ascended Masters. To be like another, to pick up another’s dharma because you like it better than your own, this is a misuse of free will and does circumvent your calling.
Therefore the law that God does write in your inward parts in this hour is the law of your own destiny. Some wander about disconnected from their sun center and say, “What is my destiny? What is my divine plan?”
It is almost as though you would ask God, “What is my name? I have forgotten my name. [Who am I? I have forgotten who I am.]”
Indeed you have, beloved, for parents have named you by the names of their choices but that name is simply an outer label. It does not necessarily connect with the inner name, the new name, <5> the name that does embody by sound and vowel and by cosmic number even the code of your fiery destiny.
Thus, the Messenger has counseled many to begin the Path, to seek and find the divine plan by giving oneself in service, by loving and loving again, by perceiving what skills are needed to assist souls to discover themselves, to resolve their psychology and the schisms in the psyche.
Yes, people have great needs. Learn the professions. Learn some skill of service to help them become more of who they are and in so doing you will also find yourself.
You may choose to fast in the wilderness and to pray. You will remember I was without food for forty days and forty nights on the mountain with God. <6> Though this may be a symbolical number, I assure you the length was the equivalent of your counting of the days. Therefore know, beloved, that to fast in the outer sense of the word is to feast in the Light, is to become a tightly wound coil of the individuality of God.
Yes, beloved, if you do not know the way to go, then follow in the footsteps of someone who does, follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ, as you know him truly to be the avatar of all ages and the true Saviour of your soul. Walk in the footsteps of other saints, learn from them, and polish your profession and calling. But, above all, let love permeate everything you do, a profound love that issues from the Source, that is a fountain that flows, a divine love that meets the human need or the need of any creature.
Yes, beloved, love will fulfill the Law until the scales from your eyes are removed and, behold, you can see what is that calling unique to you that only you can accomplish, only you can realize. And if you do not, there will be no other one to come along in your place. For God has created you and your twin flame with a special mission in all of the universes and has seen fit to place you on this earth in this time, not to while away the hours in impractical dreams and musings that are of other centuries and other times of quietude when one could bask in poetry and chamber music and not be concerned about the affairs of state.
At this moment the sword of Damocles hangs by its thread above everyone, for the Dark Cycle of karma returning is surely locked into the earth. And the Four Horsemen will not disappear but they will ride with their relentless ride until every last erg of karma is descended.
But our God has once again provided you with the mercy of the violet flame, with a way out, with a means to overcome. Always and always and always by the love of the Lord the covenant is extended!
I will give you all that I am and all that I have, my beloved children, if you will but enter into the true reality of your personal Christhood, if you will but embrace the Light and forsake the Darkness and never look back but forward into the flaming Presence of the I AM THAT I AM.
Therefore, the Lord has promised to empower you, even as he empowered Jesus, with all the power of heaven and earth <7> as the sealing of his mission. Nothing shall be withheld from you if you shall proceed on the path of love and embrace a path of initiation under the Ascended Masters. For every soul, no matter how advanced, requires nurturing and correction and even the chastening rod of love, which does not leave the soul where it finds it.
Some are smug in their sense of self-sufficiency, for they have dabbled in many books and know many truths and are quite self-satisfied with their level of attainment. Well, beloved, there are many, many egos that count themselves the avant-garde in science and religion today and they have eclipsed the sun of their I AM Presence by that ego, thinking mistakenly that their ego is the soul who has overcome.
The soul who has overcome, clothed with that anointing of the light and the oil of the prophet, beloved, is not an ego who has been self-made or pulled itself up by its own bootstraps. No, beloved. Take care, then, that you are not drawn into a subtle pride that is not even recognized by yourself, as though you had arrived at a certain level of attainment when you have not begun the first steps.
There are those who are offended by my words, yet I speak to those who will remember the word of Jesus, “Except you become as a little child, you cannot enter in.” <8> This has layers of meaning, beloved. For the soul is as a child, and unless you go back to the level of the soul unencumbered by the development of the intellect, you will not be beginning at the point of the seed atom of the spirit or of the root of the psyche.
In another sense, beloved, to go back to the point of childhood is to seek your resolution with what modern psychologists have called “the inner child of the past.” You must grow again through those years and choose and separate and pick the very best [attributes] of parents and teachers and siblings and all [who were] around you and disassociate yourselves from the negatives, pulling the dark threads out of the garment, reweaving new threads, building again.
This cannot be accomplished alone by psychology or its process. You need the violet flame. Let the humble of heart and the true devotee know that the violet flame is meant to be given [in dynamic decrees] and not simply spoken about. The violet flame can take you to planes of bliss and joy, can saturate and supersaturate your consciousness, can erase those records that remain [written] on your book of life of the breaking of the commandments and covenants of your God.
Yes, sin is forgiven through the living Christ. And the agency of that forgiveness is truly the violet fire, the mercy flame, truly the flame of the priesthood of Melchizedek. Therefore is the dispensation nigh and it is great.
Some have not changed yet since that golden-age civilization of Atlantis, not through many subsequent incarnations, not through the chastening rod of the Lord. In fact, they have become enangered against their God rather than receive that lawful correction by the rod.
May you then know, beloved, that this is the hour when all those who have not relented in their stubbornness can suddenly find themselves in the flame of the Holy Spirit, in the Light of the Divine Mother, the Shekinah glory that descends from the I AM THAT I AM, and in a blaze of violet flame they can know the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises to Israel and Judah today.
And let it be remembered that, then as now, mercy unto all peoples is a prerequisite to entering in, mercy toward those whom some consider less than themselves. These things ought not to be! And the Palestinians must have their homeland, for they too are the children of the Most High God and not some kind of lower evolution.
Beware the pride that has infested all who think of themselves as chosen, those throughout the world who are of the lineage, as has been discussed this day, of the tribes. Yes, beloved, there ought not to be pride among a people who have betrayed their teachers for long centuries, who have been rebuked, to whom the prophets have spoken, who have disobeyed and preferred the false prophets, who have gone their way and therefore been dispossessed of their land and inheritance and been scattered to the four winds!
There ought not to be pride among you but truly the understanding, in tears of joy, of the great mercy of God. Therefore, beware those who say that they are of this calling but are not indeed, who yet still remain the servants of the false teachers.
I AM Moses in the fullness of the mantle of God. You have known me in my human state of ultimate frustration and anger with the children of my people. You have known me pleading before God, before Sanat Kumara, before the I AM THAT I AM on behalf of yourselves for centuries to spare the judgment; and thus you have been spared on many an occasion. You have known me in the days of my burden and the woe upon my soul in the attempt to bring this people to a new covenant.
Yes, beloved, now know me free from that burden and that lifetime, when so many accused me of my humanness. I have moved on, but I have not forgot what it is like to be in the shoes of those who are pulling against the tide of the entire civilization of the world.
Make the effort, beloved! Let your reach exceed your grasp! May you know that so much counts for your effort. May you weary in discussions and keep the coil of the sacred fire tightly wound that you might have the wherewithal to speak when it is time to speak and that your voice heard will be the sounding of truth; and the people will stop to listen, for they know the vibration of the Spirit of the Lord upon you.
I give you my flame of God’s happiness, for happiness is surely a momentum that will carry you through the sublime and the ridiculous, the ludicrous and the cruel, the condemnation of this world. Happiness is a sense of the yellow fires of illumination within. It is a co-measurement with the point of the Infinite that is able to stand and to withstand all of the onslaughts of this level.
Happiness is a sheath and a shield. Yes, happiness, beloved, allows you to make light of the dread darkness of those aligned with the left-handed path, who take themselves so seriously. Oh, how the devil resists the mockery of your happiness! Let it be so.
Take care that you do not underestimate the path of the left. Take care that you do not go under and enter into the seriousness of their illusions regarding their self-importance.
There have always been tyrants. And if you have known where to look for them, there have always been Christs.
Now look within your heart and find a new attendant at the altar of the Christ Flame. For I too am there, even as I was with Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration, <9>testifying to his calling as the prophet unto the twelve tribes, yea, and more than the prophet, the Christ of the ages!
I have come to this place to plant a rod in the earth. So I plant it! Now then, let it be the dividing of the way, as I stand for you and your rising each day to a new level of the rod of Aaron and the Mount Zion.
I seal you in the fire of the I AM THAT I AM.
And I say, I AM WHO I AM! Be who you are! [30-second applause]
