Called are ye unto the heart of our retreat at Lake Titicaca. Pillars of flame established here by our twin flames we reinforce. We bring closer to this octave the focuses of our Causal Bodies placed here now many a year. <1>
Ye are called, then, unto the service of thy Christ, thy God. Ye are called in the name Jesus <2> to come unto the fulfillment of the likeness of shepherd unto God.
We have convoked this seminar <3>and here we abide. We have come to call [those who would be] the strands of illumination’s flame, even the weavings of our robes. For by our mantle we would empower those who would teach the little children, who would feed the hungry who are denied the bread of Life, who would give to drink unto these little ones the wine of the Spirit of the Mind of God.
Yes, we are come as Father and Mother of the sixth root race and of ye all. We envelop you now in illumination’s flame. May you celebrate this path and flame this day and each and every Sabbath unto the fulfilling of thy calling.
Many are called but few have chosen to answer our call. Yet out of the few let there arise those who perceive this single truth: You are called because of karma, beloved, as well as the dharma of thy soul and thy Dharmakaya.
Yes, the calling of the law of thy I AM Presence does decree: Teach the little ones. Plant the seeds and water them and let those who come into life as green shoots be prepared to become, each one, a tree of life by you, gardeners in the garden of God where his children must flower and prosper.
Yes, feed the hungry the living Word! Give them chalices for that Word.
I say to you, beloved, we commence this day in this hour (and so mark the day, the date and time of our speaking) to give to you, then, the assignment of your karma to go into all the earth to establish the schools. For the matrix we have set and all that is in preparation that has been brought together by the Messenger and teachers within this Community is for you to duplicate town by town and nation by nation.
Let the earth once again be visited by legions of illumination’s flame! And let yourself be in your city a representative of that flame and of the Cosmic Christ through Maitreya, through Krishna, through all who have come embodying the one Light of Christos.
You who know that your karma does decree the accomplishment of this assignment must fulfill it. Our schools must grow and multiply, else, beloved, many for whom you are responsible will be lost to this generation, and many more. It is the hour of quickening and the hour of desperation.
And there are those in position with power and funds to assist you, but you must have your alchemy. You must know the science of that positive spiritual manifestation of the Mind of God. You must visualize and, if you will, draw your treasure maps regarding these schools. For through these schools the wisdom of God shall go forth, and when the truth is taught because the truth is embodied by the servant-sons and -daughters who are teachers, children will emulate the life and the example. This is the meaning of teacher.
How to train teachers, that is the question. Let all teachers come to our retreat, where we shall continually hold seminars on behalf of all who teach upon this planet. For to impart the flame that endows the learning that you would also give and the knowledge, beloved, this is the gift of self.
Those who do not impart the gift of self are not worthy to teach nor to be God-taught themselves. Those who are not humble, who will deny the Christ in the Messenger of God, should also know that Christ therefore does deny the messenger within them.
Let there be the exalting of the Holy Christ Self of each one and not of the human person. But let there be an established tie of your heart through the Messenger, through your own Christ Self to the Ascended Masters who serve on the Second Ray. This heart-tie is enhanced by the Archangel Jophiel, by Christine, by Lord Lanto and Confucius.
The major retreat of this North American continent is that retreat of golden illumination’s flame, even the Grand Teton focus of the Royal Teton Retreat. Yes, beloved. And thus this retreat is established for the precipitation of knowledge and understanding and grace.
Yet those who have betrayed that light as fallen angels long ago, who now move as serpents among the true teachers of God, they have sought to cover over that light, to hide it, to hide the retreat and the path of the Ascended Masters.
We commence this day by placing even the seed of that which can become a flame above the heads of those who commit themselves to this calling of teaching the little ones and, in the process, educating their parents.
Yes, beloved, this is an hour when all can be saved and all can be turned around, but I will not tell you how long this hour will be open. It is a short time, beloved. For that which is descending to distort the minds of all people will make its mark and it will be difficult to undo unless the very ones who have that burden upon them shall turn quickly to the Light and recognize Saint Germain and Portia as hierarchs of the age and as the bestowers of the violet flame and the sponsors of its use.
Take, then, the seed of golden illumination’s flame and see it becoming the flower fully unfurled even as a banner of Maitreya and the World Mother. See the flower of the flame, beloved, growing above the crown chakra. Dare to raise the sacred fire of the Kundalini! Dare to have the chakras opened and blazing the sevenfold light of the sevenfold manifestation of Elohim within you!
Know that you yourselves can become as “giants in the earth” and not as Nephilim of old but as the living presence of your Christ Self, as the embodiment of the Ascended Master principle.
Yet there be some among you who have defied your own Holy Christ Self, who have not challenged that point of pride, who have not challenged that very point of challenging God. Therefore know, beloved, that if you do not swiftly correct your path and mend your ways, you will find yourselves on the left-handed path, where, I may say by the reading of the record, you have been before.
And therefore let not those of long-standing on the Path come into this Community posing as true shepherds and willing hearts, reciting the decrees and yet not having the true heart of Jesus. You ought to pray fervently and on your knees for the fire of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to be transferred unto you for the consuming of all of that substance that has denied God throughout the ages in these little ones.
You cannot conform unto the path of the Teaching unless you yourself would be re-created in God. You cannot keep the old self and yet have the new. This is the folly of those who are imprisoned by the intellect and will imprison all whom they meet and all whom they teach and all to whom they would impart even the path of the Ascended Masters.
Yes, beloved, you cannot take the Path and fashion an intellectual posture and in your pride consider that you have thought better than the Hierarchy of Light as to how to walk this path or how to relate to the Messenger or the Ascended Masters or to one another.
Therefore, know that the fall is the failure to challenge the momentums of criticism, condemnation and judgment. And these momentums, beloved, are a cast of the mind that is so insidious that often the individual is no longer aware that with every glance and gaze and examination of others there is that note of analysis and criticism. This is death unto the soul of the individual who retains it and death unto the little ones who should be so unfortunate as to come under the gaze and mien of such an one.
Therefore, beloved, know that the serpents who have perverted education throughout the earth have fallen on the Second Ray, have compromised the crown chakra. Therefore we speak sternly and we speak forthrightly this day; for we know who they are and where they are, and they come also to attempt to enter the folds of the Great White Brotherhood once again.
Now, beloved, you must be told and you must know in your heart that your heart is not right with God. And therefore, go unto Serapis Bey, go unto the first steps and be purged by the sacred fire. Know the phoenix mystery <4>and know that you must give fire in order to receive the fire of God and also to meet, by the fire of God, the momentums of your own unconscious.
Let those who are worthy to be teachers be willing to be purged and show their worthiness by a willingness to shed the “snakeskin,” for some of you have also been a part of these [fallen] bands of Jophiel who went forth to traduce the sons and daughters of men.
Therefore I say: indeed it is a karma! For some have the karma of deceiving others, while others have the karma of standing by and allowing it, while others have been so preoccupied in their own businesses throughout the centuries that they have taken note of neither and not entered into their communities to fulfill the responsibility of all who would ascend unto heaven–which is, beloved, to impart that [portion] of oneself that is the portion intended to be the gift of wisdom and the gift of knowledge of the Holy Spirit to those who come after.
It is a law, beloved. You cannot transcend the octaves until you leave in those lower octaves the fullness of the Mind of God that is the gift from the altars of heaven by which you yourself have attained to your God-mastery.
Therefore no matter what your occupation or your business, some portion of your life must be involved in training others and in training others in Right Livelihood <5> as it is ordained by the Lord of the World, Gautama Buddha. That principle of Right Livelihood, beloved, you must meditate upon. And see to it that forevermore the cosmic honor flame shall enfold you and that never again shall you step into areas where there is a compromise of the funds of others, of the lives of others, of the integrity of others because you have said in your heart, “We will compromise for the greater gain in the end.” This is the philosophy of the serpents: “Let us do evil that good may come.” <6>
Yes, beloved, it is no longer an option for those who will walk in the great white way of Lao Tzu and the Ancient of Days and those of the white fire who are so in that flame of the white fire that their garments, their very hair, their very beings shine with the splendor of the sun in the white fire core of being!
Yes, beloved, you have entered the road, the road of the Great White Brotherhood, and on it you must stay with all of your might and determination; for on that road you will face every perversion of the Second Ray.
This is a Community sponsored by Lord Maitreya. Let it become worthy of the calling and of his presence, we say! And may you hasten to have that burst of illumination and to thus be aware of so many who need your intercession.
What greater work or livelihood than to transfer city by city the nucleus of that schoolroom where the Mother, Mary, does come to heal her own, her angels [with her] to mend their garments, and where you can impart the basic skills and the Teachings of the Ascended Masters as well.
Can you not conceive of this, beloved?
Can you not put your heads together as to how you can be successful in a physical way as well as in a spiritual way and still have the greatest gain, the greatest accomplishment?
And as the years go by and the gray hairs increase and the strength wanes, beloved, do you not see that you are moving toward the moment of initiation of your own victory and you must not come empty-handed in this regard?
For I tell you, at least one member of the Karmic Board will say to you, “How many little ones have you fed in this life? How many have you nurtured? To how many have you given the treasure of your heart? To how many have you transferred that treasure as a casket of light bejeweled into the secret chamber of the heart?”
The key to knowledge must be given and not knowledge alone–and the key is the inner Christic light. And the key to that, beloved, and its bestowal is the search for your own quickening. And if you have not the quickening, beloved, and the Messenger does meet you in the way, she will tell you forthrightly that you have it not; for to fail to tell you should be a sin according to her office.
And therefore, will you hide from the face of the Messenger or will you come before the altar to be seen of God and to show what you are and what you are not so that you might have a reading, before it is too late, of what the Great Law does require of you?
This is a serious calling that we have given to the Messengers and until that calling is fulfilled, beloved, by all those who are their chelas and the chelas of the ascended hosts, this Community of Lord Maitreya shall not have fulfilled its reason for being.
Therefore we laud the progress and we deplore the lack of it. We praise the good and we call for the fire to purge that which is the unworthy gift.
Thus, analyze the self for constructive purposes, beloved, and know that the opening of the crown chakra, which you would open to the fullness of all-knowing, of cosmic consciousness, does come through the mastery of the hierarchy of Capricorn and the all-power of God in heaven and earth that is given unto every Christed one in the hour of his victory. <7>
Well, beloved ones, when you see such persecution even unto the crucifixion that is meted out upon your Messenger, you must surely know that the hour of that fulfillment is shortly to come for this Messenger and therefore renewed and new opportunities for the opening of doors to yourselves.
Will you be ready to move up in that spiral, beloved, and are you ready this day to meet the challenges of [the forces of] Darkness who oppose every new level of attainment that does come to the leader and to the followers of those who represent the Great White Brotherhood?
This is the question you must ask yourselves, for many times there is not the realistic assessment of just how dark is the Darkness that precedes the dawn of tremendous illumination and attainment that can come to all, beloved. For you are one mandala and the Messenger is a part of the very elements of your own being and consciousness, and there is a connection and a tie between all who are truly chelas of their own God Flame and God consciousness.
Let it be understood, then, that this is a moment to recognize that the greatest Darkness does assail the greatest Light. And therefore it is the hour to champion the cause of freedom and to challenge Death and Hell and to cast it into the lake of fire in the name Padma Sambhava, Jesus Christ, Lord Maitreya, Gautama Buddha, Sanat Kumara.
Yes, beloved, it is the hour to increase the vigilance. For if you will forever stay in the shallows of a shadowed consciousness and a gray area, you shall not know truly what the Path can be unto you.
The Path is one of glory and joy! And you must get through the stages of being burdened. For if you do not surrender, beloved, you will not get through those stages and then you will finally consider that the Path is not true for you; for you have not worked that path, you have not moved on on that path and you have not known that there is a greater light beyond but that karma decrees the transmutation of the lower levels of being and you cannot shirk this responsibility.
And you should not flee this court but run to it and know that day by day you are overcoming. You are overcoming, beloved! Each and every one of you is overcoming. But you must see that you move against those momentums of ancient pride that reek to such an extent that the angels must wear gas masks, as it were, to be free from the offense of the stench of the purging of that unconscious and the subconscious levels of being and of the carnal mind. Such it is, beloved. It is a pollution of your being.
And you must be free from these toxins of ancient times and be willing to see yourself in need of total reformation. And that reformation is called “conversion,” and it is the turning around of your being and it is the acceleration of the atoms until they throw off so much darkness that you pass through the dark night of the soul and the Dark Night of the Spirit and all seems darkness to you.
And in that very hour you must remember the word and the teaching of Saint John of the Cross, Saint Teresa of Avila. Yes, beloved, they are come again unto you. And you must hear your ministers and hear the word of your preachers and know that those who have borne the Light in your defense and have championed your cause in past ages do come again and they themselves have moved against all infamy and calumny and gossip against their lifestreams. And that is a part of the purging of the earth.
And if the saints do not stand in the earth, beloved, how will the little ones who are the shorn lambs stand in the earth? If the saints do not rise, beloved, into a higher calling, how will any survive “so great salvation”? <8> We ask it, beloved.
There must be illumination’s flame and therefore there must be a consecration to the Divine Mother. And therefore you have been summoned this week in the legions of Maitreya to go forth and to slay the dweller-on-the-threshold of the entire planetary body of the hatred of the Mother, of the hatred of the Guru and the chela and the denial of the right of everyone upon this earth to know and enjoy oneness with an Ascended Master, with a Cosmic Being, with an Archangel [in the Guru-chela relationship].
Yes, beloved, it is considered the absolute blasphemy of the age to champion the cause of the individual to follow a living Guru. And therefore [this relationship] is labeled a cult and therefore it is put down, and therefore all of the false gurus come forward with their wares to blacken the image of the Great White Brotherhood. And this is what the serpents who have fallen from the Second Ray under Jophiel’s bands have attempted to do, beloved. But they will not succeed any longer, for this is an auspicious day of Cosmic Christ illumination!
Blessed are ye who have heard the call of the Messenger to come to this seminar, for unto you is given that seed that you might expand and blend your flame of illumination with that torch of illumination that was passed to the Messenger for the illumination of the world’s children. <9>
Now, I say to you, is the hour for that banner of Maitreya and the Mother, that golden banner of light, to be unfurled! For it does descend into the mental belt.
And as you see the agitation of the mental belt and the movement toward more and more controls in education, justified on the basis of the nonfunctioning or the failure of the schools, you see the moving in of those forces who are absolutely determined to homogenize education in America at a level of mediocrity. Still they have not accomplished their goals because they are not working toward the goal of God. And therefore they must be exposed! And they are exposed by their own horrendous failure to teach the children of this nation.
You must step in where you see the vacuum. The vacuum is now, I say! And there is a time to move and there is a time to march! And there are those of you who have worked on a curriculum for little children for years and years, and yet you have not made this your highest calling. And you have not seen that that calling comes to you [from God], beloved, and that if it is a true calling in God, it can also be your sacred labor and your livelihood.
This is your best and your greatest love! Why do you set it aside for other lesser preoccupations and occupations of business when this is the greatest business in the world today? It is the raising up of the children of the Light!
And you must come together and meet and see how you may qualify yourselves and how you may organize yourselves to go forth with the teaching that must be imparted, the teaching that must be within an environment of a school system that does pay for itself and is able to pay the teachers’ salaries and pay for those necessary equipments that all children must have in this age to grow into the full stature of their Christhood to lay the foundations of the age of Aquarius.
In your hands today, beloved, are [children] who are the builders who have come forth for the building of the New Age in the name of Saint Germain! And they have come out of the Royal Teton Retreat and the Cave of Symbols, sent by Saint Germain and Portia. And some of them have trembled and some of them have cried, and they have all said, “Where will we go for the gift of knowledge? How will we be tutored and God-taught? How will we finally enter in to our calling in God? For the schools are not there and we will be cast to the winds and we will not have our mantle when we come of age.”
And therefore they have come, nevertheless, with courage and emboldened by the angels who have promised to guard them and who have promised to quicken you and who have promised to be here at this conference to help you see that this is the Path and the calling in God.
And the true meaning of the word Right Livelihood, beloved, is that you choose a livelihood whereby you can balance karma and support yourself and bless all life at the same time. That is the meaning of Right Livelihood. And if these components are not involved, beloved, are you not wasting your time?
You may have income. You may support yourself, but are you balancing karma [and not making karma by sins of commission or omission] in the business in which you are engaged?
That is what you must be concerned with. And I tell you that all upon this planet have a tremendous karma with the children and youth of the world and it is a planetary karma as well as a personal karma.
And therefore pick up the pieces, beloved. For you are moving toward the sun and some of you have been walking toward the sun for many ages. And now you are coming to that great purple band of ministration and service and you are coming to that yellow band that does surround the very center of the Causal Body. And therefore you must come up the spiral and you must have all things in your life meet at that spiral and not have one foot down below in the astral plane and another foot trying to make it on the side.
The education of the children of the world is not a hobby! It is not a pastime! It is the central focus of being and your reason for being!
And should you need to reembody, beloved ones, surely you will desire to embody through souls who have been trained by you or your representatives in previous decades so that you might also have returned to you the gift of knowledge as a torch that you have passed and that will be passed back to you again. You ought to think in this wise, you ought to consider and you ought to look at your life span. [Therefore did Jesus say: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you!”]
The most important function of this Community, aside from providing the spiritual altar and the teachings of the Church, is the education of children and the youth of the world. And you must find the key to their hearts and the key to their minds and the key to their spirits!
And some of you have it and you are not using it to the extent you ought, for you are serving only a very few when now is the time to pass to many the torch of what you know and to train the teachers and bear with them and pray for them and fast for them and be on your knees for them that they might come into the true calling of their Holy Christ Self.
Unless the individual does embody his Holy Christ Self in the fulfillment of the calling of life, beloved, he will not fulfill the full balancing of his karma, for it is impossible.
Why is it impossible?
I will tell you. When you move on in the percentages of karma [balanced] past the 51 percent, beloved, you come into direct confrontation with all of the fallen ones who have ever opposed your soul in all past ages of history. And they will challenge your right to be upon that rung of the ladder, and if you are not forging and winning your Christhood and fusing your soul to that Christ–no matter what the cost, no matter what the penance, no matter what the sorrow or the public scandal or whatever is thrown at you, beloved–you will not have the power or be empowered by your Christ Self to challenge the false hierarchy opposing you from the other side.
This is why we have raised you up! This is why we have given you initiations and dispensations. For, beloved ones, you must know, you must see and you must understand that the ascent of the ladder of being is accompanied by initiation–initiation from the Lord God Almighty and initiation by the fallen ones whom [God allows to] come to tempt you that you might know what is your strength and what is your weakness.
God does not decree this but he does allow it, for you have put yourself in the way of the fallen ones by your own karma and your own choices long ago. Therefore you must meet and defeat them before you can move on!
And therefore I say, toughen up! Toughen up in your belly and in your solar plexus and in your soul and in your heart. And do not be bowed down, for all saints and prophets and Christed ones who have gone before you have met the same fate and the same path. It is a path that is known. And we make it known to you this day that you have the capacity to walk it, to be a shining example and to make your mark upon the youth of the world!
I pray that you will hear this message in the very depths of your being and know that one day you will stand [before the princes of Darkness of this world and in that day] you must challenge Death and Hell itself by the momentum of your own Christhood. Better to work now on lesser initiations than to be unprepared when the final one does come. For it will come whether or not you have prepared for it, beloved; for it is your right in each and every embodiment to meet all the forces of heaven and all of the forces of Darkness and to be triumphant and to manifest the glory of God.
We are the God and Goddess Meru. Our love for you pours through this heart that is a chalice upraised unto your benefit. Our love does extend to you in such intensity! I ask you, beloved, do you feel the love of our hearts for you in this hour? [“Yes!”]
Precious ones, take it and keep it! Seal it in the vial, the precious vial of the heart. Keep it, beloved, and give it to the little children. Suffer them to come unto you; for they have called for you, they have wept for you, they have pled for you. They need you now–not later but now, as they are babes in arms and little children, so earnest and eager to study, so willing when they have the true teacher before them.
O beloved, you can do this! You can turn around a world! You are in every nation. You are the keepers of the flame of Cosmic Christ illumination for planet earth! Seize the torch of the Goddess of Liberty that is passed to you this day and run, run to the heart of the little child! [55-second standing ovation]
