Vol. 36 No. 70 - Beloved Mother Mary - December 29, 1993
The Ineffable Love of Our Oneness
The Challenge of Every Day Is to
Separate the Unreal from the Real
The Reward of Your Labor Is Adeptship
Christmas Eve Address 1993
I AM your Mother of Love. And into the dimensions of cosmic love I draw your soul, each one.
O sons and daughters of my heart, I hold you now as newborn babes, as the Manchild. Thus, nestle to my heart. Receive the impression of my Immaculate Heart and my immaculate conception of your soul. I come to hold you and to heal you. Enter in to the ineffable love of our oneness.
It is good to be the little child for a season, for some hours, even once a day throughout the year, to feel your helplessness and to know when you place your hand in mine or in the hand of Saint Germain or El Morya that everything will come full circle, all will come to resolution and you will know that sense of freedom as if you were free-falling, knowing that we will catch you.
Thus, by this exercise of love and devotion, you let go of being the responsible one, the one that must take care of everything and everyone. Why, to think this, beloved, creates in itself a certain separation from the heavenly hierarchy as you are so immersed in your daily responsibilities.
Therefore I say, pause for a moment and remember who is the doer within you and who is the liberator and how it is the sense of struggle that makes the struggle. And if you would be a hero or a heroine or a knight in shining armour, remember that only God can work the work through you. Therefore, self-effacement is empowerment.
Why, who among you has the greatest power of all?
It is the little child. It is the little child! That little child shall lead you <1> when you heal the little child, when you embrace the little child and hold that one until that child dissolves into the threefold flame of your heart and then steps forth in exaltation of the Divine Mother as your true reality. So, except ye be converted and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom, the consciousness, of God. <2>
Yes, there are burdens too hard to bear, whether for heads of state or representatives of the people or for those who have great responsibilities in commerce and large corporations or for those such as yourselves who are committed to transmit our teachings throughout the earth. Those who are locked in and engaged both to the Mighty I AM Presence and to the Divine Manchild within are the ones who succeed, beloved, whereas those who are dependent on the human mind cannot let go and let God work through them.
What a pity! What a sorrowful state to have that human mind be the only mind that you depend upon! So let us lean not on the arm of flesh or fleshly notions. Let us lean upon the arm of God.
I bring to you, then, out of the Fifth Ray this day the crystal-clear stream, that mighty crystal action, white-fire crystal of Cyclopea and Virginia and all the servants of the Fifth Ray. Oh, take the crystal ray this day, I beseech you! Won’t you have something of pure rock crystal to remind you how crystal clear is the Mind of God to bring all to resolution?
That crystal ray, beloved, is what you receive when you invoke the Fifth Ray. The emerald ray and the crystal ray go hand in hand. Thus the matrix of all things is impressed on the ethers by the Fifth Ray, but the crystal ray does make that which ought to become permanent crystallize as a crystallization of the God-flame.
Some of you walk about with crystal in your auras, magnificent formations of stalactites, stalagmites. You see, beloved, for tens of thousands of years and longer you have been crystallizing the thoughts, the ideations, the patterns of Elohim, of the Mind of God. And so you have built about yourselves a permanent home of Light, a cocoon, a retreat where you may bid others enter.
Take care, then. See to it that you keep the aura clear as crystal so that the mind is not befuddled, the emotional body is not invaded by lying demons and all types of diversions and perversions of the true Path.
The crystallization of the Mind of God within you will enable you to have almost upon the instant that contact with higher realms of Light, etheric retreats. Ask to be taken, then, to the crystal antechamber of the retreat of the Elohim of the Fifth Ray. Ask to be taken there for meditation and purification.
Do not be so much attached to self or the reasoning of the self or the justification of the self. Do not be so much attached to assert: “I am right. He is wrong.” Such assertions come from the relative state of the human consciousness.
“Let God be true but every man a liar,” the apostle said. <3> And it is so, for how can those in embodiment having yet a dual consciousness know the plumb line of Truth, erring neither to the right nor to the left but keeping centered in the Christ Mind?
If you become as a little child in the wonder of it all–the wonder of the creation, the wonder of the precious blessings of life–how grateful you become for little things and how nonattached to the accumulation of human objects, human wealth, human this or that, such as stature or greatness in the eyes of the world.
Return, then, to the center of the Great Tao. Oh yes, beloved, my Son and all great avatars understood the deep things of God that have been bequeathed to the world through Eastern adepts, specifically those who have sponsored the teaching of the Tao Te Ching, the teaching of the Way and of Virtue.
So, beloved, you become the All when you know you are nothing. Nothingness is a vacuum and when you enter it you are filled with the All. For the Great Tao abhors the vacuum.
You can let go of the patterns of the human consciousness. The fads of the human consciousness change by the month, by the year. You can never keep up with the fads. This way and that way–now it is correct to do this, next year it will be incorrect.
Who can move by the folly of those who have so little going for them that they must continually make a new statement with fashion, with this or that new-fangled thing, by being with the trends?
I say, the great trend of life is the sea of light, the sea of cosmic bliss. Become as we were–content with such a vast, vast contact with the cosmos. Those who have that contact are less likely to push forward their personalities, to thrust in this direction or that direction whereby they might become so very important or attempt to become important in the eyes of their peers.
Look about you for those whom you almost never take note of, the quiet ones, those who work day by day, day by day and are in tune with the rhythm of the stars. They need not have continuous loud and raucous conversation, continuous stimuli from this and that source of entertainment. For they know that all these things will come to naught.
I flash upon the screen of your third eye now your image as a skeleton. When all the flesh is gone and life has left the mortal frame, what will there be? A shining one that can move instantly from the limitations of earth to becoming a cosmic co-server with the Darjeeling Council, with El Morya and the angels of Light?
Yes, weave the Deathless Solar Body. And remember that this dark, dark night of the year is also a symbol, beloved, of the dark night of the soul and the Dark Night of the Spirit. None shall escape these. You shall walk through these initiations with your own candle burning as you send forth decrees from your heart; or you shall walk through them in torment, in anger, in rebellion against God because you have not prepared for them.
The dark night of the soul comes again and again when you pass through the valley of the shadow of intense karma. The Dark Night of the Spirit comes when you have banked the fires of the heart with the God-flame and thereby you can sustain that threefold flame when the Sun of your I AM Presence is temporarily eclipsed and apparently not even there. It is when you sense that supreme aloneness that you know that all you have to lean upon is that God within you and that God who is the little child in the heart and that God who is that masterful Messiah, the presence of the living Christ.
There are fanatics and those filled with entities and demons who apply this teaching to themselves yet are not prepared to walk through either the dark night of the soul or the Dark Night of the Spirit; for they yet dwell in the astral plane because they have not come into balance within their own higher beings. These seek every religious movement and are within and without them, this one being no exception.
Thus, beloved, beware of being off-balance to the extreme, living on the outer edge of the aura instead of centered in God, in Christ. Leave off your isms. Leave off your ideologies and become as the little child.
I, your Mother, so counsel you, for it is when you become that one who is no longer the little child that you make serious mistakes and lose your way and then, as Little Red Ridinghood, you face the wolves of the astral plane and you are not able to defend yourself against them.
Take up, then, the simple and humble study of the teachings of my Son, the teachings of the Buddha and the teachings of the Eastern Masters. Enter in to that walk, beloved, and join the adepts of East and West. One and all, you have the opportunity for adeptship. You must only decide that that is your goal.
To be an adept means to have a certain mastery for the holding of Light, for the crystallization of the God-flame within you and for the entering in to the Mind of God. It means, beloved, that you are moved neither to the right nor to the left, neither up nor down by circumstances, by whatever negative is hurled at you. Adeptship is to be unmoved, to be in the center of the T’ai Chi, to know oneself supremely as God but never as a human god–for God has displaced the human. This is your goal of union.
You have the Teachings, beloved, but you must understand that it is in the depths of your heart in holy prayer and deep communion that you find the keys that all saints have found. You may read a sequence of sentences and paragraphs in the Pearls of Wisdom directed to you. But their purpose is to lead you to the point of entering in to the starry space and nonspace where you alone know God, without words, unspoken, yet you have touched the hem of the garment of your own immortality.
Remember, then, beloved, why you have sacrificed, why you are here. If you forget, your service will become drudgery, monotonous. You will begin to question all the little, unimportant things. And pretty soon you will not be able to hold on to the mighty Light, the flame of the ark of the covenant that burns on the altar here and on the altar of being.
I ask you, then, to think through 1993 during these last days of the year. Put things in perspective, write down your order of priorities, what is important and what is not. You can fulfill many desires that are natural and God-ordained in the human scene and yet never let go that stronghold of your being, that center pole of Life that is in you.
You know what part of you is unreal. You certainly know what part of you is real. The challenge of every day is to separate the unreal from the real so that the real can be made permanent and the unreal can be transmuted or transformed. Now, if you are not centered in your own star of God-Reality, you will sooner or later make the error of affirming that your real is unreal and that your unreal is real. Alas, most of the world is in that state of confusion.
When we come to be in your midst, we find those who have far greater clarity of mind than others and yet they still need the tutoring of the heart and the soul–they still need the fine-tuning. Just when you think you know all the Teachings, for you have heard them for many, many years, that is the time to be on guard and to say: Now, O Lord, I have assimilated thy Word. Now I would assimilate thy Being. Now I would become Thyself. Receive me.
Come with humility, beloved. For pride goeth before a fall. <4> That pride says: “I will solve this problem. I will take care of this. I will come to the rescue,” et cetera, et cetera.
So, beloved, with God all things are possible; with man nothing is possible. <5> Therefore, it is good to know oneself when one is reduced to what is real, because that, my beloved, is all that you will have to take with you when you embark upon your final journey across the sea of samsara.
Are you ready to cross the sea of the astral plane, beloved? Are you ready to cross it alone in your own little bark, crossing that sea to the land of Light?
This traversing the astral sea will one day be an initiation as you take your leave of this octave. Well, you can do it. As Jesus demonstrated to Peter, you can walk upon the water, <6> the water that may be the depth and width of the Pacific Ocean. You can walk upon the water and rescue all those who are sinking beneath the waves, or you can neglect this most important preparation and find yourself in your little bark sinking.
Co-measurement, beloved. Put the point of light in your heart and the point of light in your hand and place your hand at the point of the farthest star. Then plan your journey. Plan your journey, beloved, for that journey will one day be upon you.
I bring to you the deep things of God. For the world and all that it offers sometimes takes from you your contemplation of the deeper mysteries: “Who am I? Why am I here? And inasmuch as I have given so much devotion and so much service, is it not meet that I should not also have gained through all of this that certain level of self-mastery whereby I am not moved by any events of the human condition?”
These are my thoughts this Christmas Eve, when so many throughout the earth suffer.
I therefore now place upon you the full Electronic Presence of my Son at the age of thirty-three. Beloved ones, know that masterful Presence. Desire to become it. Fear not the initiations but know that through your heart of Christ and through your life and mission many shall be saved, should you decide to become that masterful Presence.
Precious hearts, I recommend that you do. For you labor in love, in such worthiness, in such sacrifice, in such long-suffering. You labor in all these things. Your labor has its reward, but you must claim the reward. And that reward is adeptship.
I make the sign of the crystal cross for the crystallization of the God-flame within you. May you never be moved again by the turbulent astral sea, but know that you walk on the water with your Lord.
