“Meet Us Halfway!”
Our Goal: Your Freedom from the Astral Plane
A Mighty Angel Assigned to Each Lightbearer
“Hold Fast What Thou Hast Received!”
I AM the witness! I AM the witness! I AM the witness, ye holy ones of God! Therefore, receive me and the hosts of the Lord who gather this day. For I AM Michael, Prince of the Archangels, and I salute my own! [23-second standing ovation:]
Hail, Archangel Michael! Hail, Archangel Michael!
Hail, Archangel Michael! Hail, Archangel Michael!
Hail, Archangel Michael! Hail, Archangel Michael!
Hail, Archangel Michael! Hail, Archangel Michael!
We have stood in the center of the sun of Helios and Vesta. Therefore you have received our rays commingled with those of the beloved Father-Mother of this system of worlds. So drink in the Light <*> of Archangels and their Archeiai, for we have come to earth and we have penetrated the density of all levels into the very physical earth body itself.
Therefore, we do come, O ye saints and those who would be! We come with a piercing Light! And that Light is to thrust home the Power, Wisdom and Love of God that you might be delivered of certain momentums not of the Light, certain momentums of the human consciousness that have continued to bind you to the levels of Death and Hell, so much so that between embodimentsyour souls have gone to the astral plane.
Blessed ones, we would speak now. Therefore be seated.
It is our determination made to the Lords of Karma, to beloved Saint Germain and Portia that all those who contact this activity and pursue with all diligence the giving of the dynamic decrees, calling forth the Light of God and the violet flame, calling to the Seven Mighty Archangels, calling for the binding of their own dweller-on-the-threshold and that of every member of this activity, fulfilling all things [required by the law of their karma], beloved, shall not have to return to that astral plane at the conclusion of this embodiment–and also, if they are diligent, they shall no longer gravitate to those levels of morbidity, depression, death and self-condemnation, which are of the astral plane, while they are in physical embodiment.
This, beloved ones, is our goal. In this we will support you, but you have a great work to do in this matter if you are among those whose tendency it is to slip into old astral patterns. Therefore understand that if you do the work, we shall provide the strengthening, we shall come forth as you wield my sword physically and we shall [simultaneously] cut you free spiritually. We will work hand in hand with you!
We desire to have a body of Lightbearers who make up this Church Universal and Triumphant whose garments [i.e., auras and energies] do not descend into the astral plane. If you should make this your one-pointed goal–and allow your personal calls to extend on behalf of weaker souls or those newer to this activity who are unable to sustain [a spiritual] level [of consciousness]–then, beloved, we shall have for the first time in many ages a Church body on earth that does not descend lower than the mental plane but does abide in the physical, mental and etheric (the two higher octaves overlapping the physical), a Church body that does have as steel, as fire, as diamond the wall [around it] that does separate it from these lower [astral] planes.
This is the proposal we bring to you this day. And we desire to know how many of you can determine to make this your daily goal for the entire membership. [“I will!” (14-second applause)]
I must remind you, though it would seem that I need not, that the music of the astral plane pulls you quickly to its level by sentimentality, by sympathy and by the incorrect beat. You have heard wondrous music at this conference. See that you duplicate it.<RF<#>> See that you maintain that aura round about you. This is a key. Next, beloved, do not eat those foods that pull you down into the astral plane, those that are heavy in spices, sugars, strong meats, wine, et cetera. <**> [Because when you do,] you are in the astral plane before you know it.
Blessed hearts, I have observed [you] from inner levels when you have spent decades between embodiments on the astral plane. And there was not a thing that the Great Law would allow me to do in your behalf, for it was your karma, your will, the law of your own being and your own desire that put you there.
Thus understand, Archangels are the manifestation of God. Archangels come in the fullness of the I AM THAT I AM. We are fully God-manifestation. Therefore we cannot act in your behalf unless you meet us halfway and come to the level of your Holy Christ Self through devotion and prayer and meditation and specifically the hymns you have to the Holy Christ Self and the Holy Christ Flame. Beloved hearts, I desire to see recordings made of those decrees and songs that will keep you in the way of God.
I tell you, this Messenger has been raised to cosmic heights through these dictations and every one of you who has placed yourself here has experienced new levels of consciousness. You have been taken to advanced levels of the etheric octave where you have not been in thousands of years. You have touched the hem of the garment of God!
Now I say, hold on to that hem and that garment for all you are worth and with all your might! For I tell you, beloved, the stairs of heaven are not easily won. And when they are won they are often lost, for it is not easy to retain them. Therefore the byword is
“Hold fast what thou hast received!”
Hold fast to the Light!
Hold fast to the Light!
Hold fast to me, beloved ones!
Heaven does not give the gift that is not needed. And what is a gift that is given after the need is manifest? We have given you gifts that you will need on the morrow and in two weeks and in six months and during the entire year. Therefore, garner them in your chakras. Value the state of consciousness that is the yang mind and heart and yet has the flow of the Divine Mother. Value your spirituality, your spiritual being and your goal. Know who you are and manifest who you are daily.
A clean white page has been turned for you with the conclusion of this conference. Preceding pages of the [conference] days record just how much karma you have balanced, just how much you have worked with the flame of the altar, just how much you have multiplied the action of the dictations by your love, by your tears of sorrow for having sinned and by your tears of joy in knowing that your Redeemer liveth within.
Truly you have come through transformations. You have known the graciousness and the mercy of the Mother of God. You have understood that the Church is the biding place, the sangha of the Buddha. You have understood the sphere of Light and the circles upon circles upon rings of Light that make up the Body of God throughout the universes. You have been gently, cordially and politely invited to become a part of this Body of God. You have been urged, you have been commanded, you have been pleaded with!
I, Archangel Michael, stand before you! I stand in this hour and I tell you, beloved, it is imperative that you know Reality, that you see Reality and that you look upon Reality each and every day of your life in your meditation and in your heart of hearts.
The Seven Archangels stand and their Archeiai, and other Archangels of other levels who have not been unveiled to you, except the one you call Uzziel. Archangels all have come for the deliverance of the one, for the elevation, for the return, for the reunion, for the bonding to our bands and our octaves of one that has gone forth and one <***> that has returned.
In the name of Almighty God, I, Archangel Michael, assign to each and every one of you a member of my legions, one single mighty angel who shall stay with you as long as you give the call to Archangel Michael and any of our decrees to Archangel Michael for twenty minutes each day. So long as you sustain that which is the absolute minimum requirement of the Great Law, this angel of my bands shall not leave you until the hour of your ascension in the Light. Understand whom you deal with when you deal with the Archangels!
Thus, we pray that you will rise, beloved, to new heights of consciousness and then anchor those heights of consciousness solidly in the practical domain of your life, [in the circumstances in which] you live, in the building of this Community as it should be, surely as that place where many, many souls may come. Let us see the increase of the harvest in this year!
The Light goes forth now. For those who have been judged by the fourth woe through Alpha <1> are now being bound by the legions of Astrea, the legions of the Seven Archangels, legions from out the Great Central Sun.
It is one thing for Alpha to mete out the judgment, beloved. It is another [for the legions of Light] to bind and then remove those individuals, [whether on the physical or the astral plane,] who no longer have the option to pollute planet earth. And then we must dig deep into the earth body to remove the records of their karma, the records of their infamy, lest these come upon this and future generations, being perpetuated through the media, through the print, through the voice, through the spoken communication. Therefore, this day and in this hour I, Michael, raise my hand! And I raise that hand for the consuming of the records of these fallen ones!
Blessed hearts, the removal of so many fallen ones from a planetary body can be just as cataclysmic as the ascension of many [Lightbearers], <2> for there is a major adjustment in the earth when forces of Light and Darkness that are in relative equilibrium are unbalanced [by an increase or decrease in their relative numbers]. Therefore, remember to keep the flame of [who and] what you are as you go forth from this conference.
You have climbed a very high mountain. You will slowly descend that mountain. I pray that there will not be a deceleration of consciousness but rather a focalization in every atom and cell of your being, in your organs and chakras of the light you have received, that the light might be sealed inside of you rather than [be dissipated in] the world around you, attracting undue notice to your lifestream.
Therefore, let the descent be a gentle deceleration whereby the fiery coils are tight within and yet [outwardly] you return to an aura and appearance of normalcy. You then walk the earth as a son or daughter in training under the Sons and Daughters of the Solitude. <3>
Understand, beloved, that you must build on the foundations [the cosmic hierarchy has laid at this retreat]. In past years there has been a forgetfulness [on the part of some conferees] and a loss due to neglect of those dispensations [given at Fourth of July conferences]. Therefore the Lords of Karma draw nigh and they are protective of [you and of] the light released. And if there is a suggestion that a lifestream will misqualify that light, [if possible, my angels] will [quickly take it up] to a higher octave without allowing the individual to misqualify it.
These are days and hours when the light that is released to earth is as precious as gentle drops of rain. A small quantity of light is great, beloved. Therefore, come and understand that the more we give that you keep and multiply and qualify unto the Great God, the more that shall be entrusted to you individually.
I remind [you] of this because [to misqualify the light] is a karma-making situation. It becomes your own karma. And it becomes the karma of the Ascended Masters who are your sponsors. And, beloved, it is [simply] a waste to pour light into a leaky vessel.
Some of you have not yet healed the rents in the many layers of your garment. [That is why] you, above all, must call daily for your tube of light and to me for the manifestation of my protection while the healing work of the violet flame angels goes on within.
When you do not set your tube of light around you with a great fire and light and determination, then you are not able to hold the protection for the leaky vessel [or to seal] the holes in the garment that have been made over many thousands of years. Accidents, the hearing of voices from lower octaves, imbalances, psychological problems, et cetera–all these are the result of the weakening of the four lower bodies and the rents in the garment, whereby you cannot hold the balance of the inner integrity of the soul, the fire of the solar plexus, the fire of the heart and the mind.
Yes, beloved, those of you who wonder why you have this or that condition or karma upon you must understand that once upon a time when you allowed yourself to be vulnerable to individuals who sought no good but only ill for you, you opened the door to the entire astral plane.
Therefore, hear the answer. All of you who ask the question “Why?”–“Why do I have this problem or that problem or the next problem?”–[I tell you] it is because of those rents in your garment. And those very rents in your garment, beloved ones, are causative in tying you to the astral plane. For when you fail to observe the very first rule of the Keepers of the Flame Lessons, [which is] to invoke the mighty tube of light, to invoke the violet flame and recite “The Keeper’s Daily Prayer,” you are not building a solid foundation, a base upon which we may continue to build [throughout the day].
Our healing angels are devoted to your healing. You must all consider yourselves as having this or that malady or out-of-alignment state. Yes, beloved ones, some area of all of you requires healing. Therefore you have come to this Church and this altar, for you know that true and everlasting healing comes from God through the Archangels and the Archeiai. One and all, we have been known as healers throughout the ages.
You have recognized at the level of your soul that you will not be healed unless you have the help of angels. Well, you do have that help, beloved ones! But do not think that because you have been a Keeper of the Flame for so long you can in any way neglect to invoke your tube of light.
It is a wondrous call! It is the mantra of your Knight Commander, Saint Germain. Therefore, it evokes his Electronic Presence, and so when you invoke [your tube of light] you also have [the Master’s Presence] superimposed upon you! After all, beloved, you keep the flame of Life on earth for all people, but do you not also keep the violet flame for beloved Saint Germain, and the fleur-de-lis, [symbol of your threefold flame,] which has been his emblem for so long?
Yes, you do, beloved ones! Let not the flame be marred nor the chakras. Therefore, fully clothe yourselves in the whole armour of God! <4> For when you are so sealed, it is as though you are sealed in that special place, a hospital, as it were, where the angels may come and tend to you and knit back together [the fabric of your selfhood] that is literally coming apart at the seams.
Thus, on the one hand, you are strong in the Lord, strong in his voice, strong in your decree momentum. And on the other hand, there is a weakness, an ultimate weakness in each one that is a reminder to you forever and forever that ye are Gods <5> only insofar as ye are one with the threefold flame. It is also a reminder that you are mortal, that you are limited, that your four lower bodies are ultimately corruptible and that therefore you have a certain limited time [to occupy them]. For existence in this octave is temporal and you must attempt to make your soul-identity permanent before the conclusion of this embodiment.
There is nothing more important! Perhaps it is not important to the rest of the world, but I tell you, beloved ones, every single one of you has been handpicked as a ripe apple from the Tree of Life. By and by, after you had suffered long enough and become fed up with the world and the human consciousness, you were drawn to this Path and this Teaching. You have been called and brought to the feet of your own Mighty I AM Presence at a time when you were able to receive this Teaching, to keep it, to cherish it and not reject it.
This is for a reason. Do not think it is because you are special in the sense of attainment, but simply assume that it is because you are special in the sense that you have an extraordinary need for an extraordinary help from those of us of higher octaves. And because you have that need, beloved, and can make it [back to your home of Light in] no other way except by our intercession, we have called you to be the firstfruits of those who should receive the Light from the altar.
Therefore come to the altar as lepers. Be cleansed! Be made whole! And share that wholeness with those who are on the rung of [the ladder one step down from you. For they combine in their psychology] the greatest need [and the greatest receptivity] of all evolutions on this planet.
I AM Archangel Michael! I stand for your eternal victory! And I will tell you one thing: There are days (as I count the days) when for one single one of you, I and my legions, in order to defend you, will slay ten thousand demons. [This we will do] on behalf of one Keeper of the Flame! Now understand how heaven goes to war for you! These are not small skirmishes. These are the wars against the ultimate fallen ones, who know you, who have your number and would see to it that you are put out of embodiment.
Blessed ones, when we come home from these battles, we are happy! We are happy to see you rejoicing. We are happy to see you in your recreation and in your dedicated service and [we are at your side strengthening you when the] hours are long. We would like you to know, however, what it takes on our part and on the part of your Mighty I AM Presence to keep you in embodiment on the Path. And we would like you to know that if you should apply just a little more effort to your dynamic decrees, we could help others like you who are not able to decree, for they know not of the science of the spoken Word.
Therefore we ask you to think of us each day out of God-gratitude for our service as we lay down our lives for you daily. And we ask you to manifest your gratitude by laying down some portion of your life in decreeing for the Lightbearers who are at the very next ring and the next and the next–three rings out from the Inner Retreat–whom you must go and find and save and defend.
We say, be ourselves in form! Defend them as we defend you! And see how you will meet your comrades of all ages and systems of worlds.
I bow to you in the living Spirit of the First Ray of God’s holy will! [33-second standing ovation]
The Messenger: You may salute Archangel Michael.
Hail, Archangel Michael!
Hail, Archangel Michael!
Hail, Archangel Michael!
Hail, Archangel Michael!
Hail, Archangel Michael!
Hail, Archangel Michael!
Hail, Archangel Michael!
This dictation by Archangel Michael was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Sunday, July 5, 1992, during the ten-day conference FREEDOM 1992: “Joy in the Heart” held at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana. In conjunction with your study of this Pearl, the Messenger recommends that you read the book Vials of the Seven Last Plagues: The Judgments of Almighty God Delivered by the Seven Archangels.
