Reach for the Star of Your Buddhahood
Release of the Thoughtform for the Year 1994:
A Composite Map of Light
A Composite Map of Darkness
Welcome and a good, good evening, my sons and daughters, sisters and brothers, fellow Buddhas and bodhisattvas.
By the candle and the flame that you hold, <1> a world of devotees of the Buddha converges at this altar. Thus, on this occasion of your celebration of the New Year, I have summoned all devotees to the Western Shamballa that they might ignite their flames by your flame and see what is the current teaching of the Lord of the World, the teaching of Omri-Tas and Saint Germain and all Buddhas. For we do carry an extraordinary torch, each one, individual by individual.
Yes, my beloved, we seek the conversion of those who have lost the way of the path of Buddhism, and we seek that conversion by the violet flame. Thus in this moment I make your candles glow as violet flames that these souls might come to understand that your violet flame decrees are also Buddhist mantras.
Now, I will have to transform the Messenger into a “male,” as Jesus said of Magdalene, <2> that male being the incarnation of the Christ and the Buddha. For, you see, it is a seemingly male-dominated world. And yet, those of either gender may incorporate the fullness of that part of themselves that is the yang spirit of the Christ, the Buddha, the Atman.
You must understand that there are many false teachers who are not at all alive in the flame of the Buddha. They are jealous of the Light of the bodhisattvas and of the Messenger and of those whom they deem to be simple and not learned in the many Buddhist texts. These false teachers have much learning but little knowledge of the active alchemy of Truth.
Thus, it is my desire to see the flame of each of the world’s religions grow and grow and burn brightly until in such brightness of universal understanding the flames of the world’s religions become one, and all may see the paths to the center—seven paths <3> and the Eighth Ray path of the Divine Mother.
And so we gather here and the Keeper of the Scrolls does come bearing the thoughtform for the year 1994. The year shows increasing complexity of challenges, almost—and note I say almost—defying solution. The solution, of course, is always in the universal solvent of the violet flame and the secret rays of Cosmos and the unique vibration of the white fire core of each of the seven rays.
So, then, with the complexification of life and karma and the coming to the surface of consciousness of more and more tangled threads and knotty knots that must be undone, presenting challenges that most consider or shall consider (when they come upon them) too difficult to resolve, I therefore give to you a complex thoughtform for the year:
This thoughtform can be reduced to a single map. But behind that single map showing the karma and the karmic potential of the earth and the Light and the Light potential of the earth, there are many, many maps.
Thus I am here and in the Royal Teton Retreat simultaneously. I am in a room called the great map room. And therefore we with the Lords of Karma, the Dhyani Buddhas and other councils gather to examine the maps that show the records of Light and Darkness, of wars of infamy and wars of light and liberation.
There are parts of the earth that are supersaturated with these records upon records. There are other areas, such as parts of the Western hemisphere, that have been purified by the forces of nature through the last major cataclysm and the most recent ice age. Thus we calculate what areas of the earth are likely to see more war and devastation and what areas could see eras of peace and yet are asleep, such as areas of the West and those dominated by Western thinking.
There are those in the earth who are old souls and there are those who are young souls. And then there are those who choose not to remember how long they have been going through the wars of the earth, the upheavals, the cataclysms, the rise and fall of positive and negative karma on continents and in men’s hearts.
Thus I am telling you that the complications in the earth and the crisscrossing of currents in the earth do make war more probable and more likely than ever. You have but to read your newspapers and listen to the news and follow the signs of the times and recognize who are the tyrants and potentates who have absolutely no tethering to, no mooring whatsoever in the heart of the Lord of the World or even in the heart of the simplest deva, undine or sylph.
Know, then, beloved ones, that it is mostly madmen who have destroyed continents and civilizations, for they have not embodied the true “male” spirit of God. And insomuch as there is a prolific number of such individuals in the earth who seek destruction, who seek warfare, who seek to build nuclear weapons, you should recognize that, as has been said before, earth is a warring planet.
The warring in the members, <4> the warring at all levels of being does not augur well for the decisions of nations. For when you see individual by individual and brother with brother in opposition, in anger and in the darkness of malintent, you can see that multiplied on a world scale. For it is happening on a world scale.
You must come, as we invite you this night, to the map room of the Royal Teton Retreat that you might understand that it is the records and momentums of individuals brought forward from the past and yet remaining in the very soil (which is itself bloodstained from the battles of former ages) which, when assessed as a composite, give us a reading that we can study and from which we can draw certain conclusions.
The simple solution, as you have heard, is the violet flame. It is simple and yet not so simple. The more complex solution rests upon the unpredictability of free will and the shifting sands of mankind’s loyalties.
As you have formulated the sequence of your decrees, understanding the use of the “Reverse the Tide” and the Astreas and the calls to Archangel Michael, the Elohim, the Seven Archangels, the Holy Kumaras, and so forth, you have come to realize that there is an order to invocation. And when you follow that order and prepare the mind, the heart, the flesh and the soil of consciousness, you can raise up individuals—one by one and by the thousands—by your prayers.
But you must understand that if you fail to hold in check your own dweller-on-the-threshold or another’s and you do not recognize when an individual is enslaved by his dweller, acts through his dweller (instead of through his Holy Christ Self), is the dweller in embodiment, your decree matrix will not be complete. For the violet flame alone will not cure a world of tyrants.
No, indeed. For they will simply take the violet flame you send to them and turn it to use its power against the lowly, the helpless, the poor and those who seek God and have nothing much else but God to fill the void of life.
So, beloved, it is a war and it is a warfare of the spirit. And those who denounce the Messenger for declaring the warfare of the spirit denounce me also, for I wage continual warfare against the fallen ones. And had I not summoned armies and legions from across the galaxies long ago, this earth would in this hour be in a much darker space.
Thus the warfare of the spirit is ongoing. And take my word for it, those who weary in that warfare are not made of the stuff that Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are made of.
Some would say, “We have been here long enough and sacrificed enough; therefore now it is our turn to sit back and enjoy...” Well, the moment you have that attitude you are off guard, and this or that out-of-alignment state carries you into distortions of the mind, simple accidents, all kinds of unexpected and unnecessary situations.
Yet you have the full capacity, if you choose to exercise it, to deal with these situations ahead of time so that they do not happen at all. We allow them to happen so that you can take note as to where you are on the Path and recognize what you are and are not doing to prevent small and great calamities.
Beloved ones, put on the whole armour of God, <5> join the legions of Light, take your R and Rs at the retreat of Archangel Michael, but remember, you and your offspring and the mighty souls that Morya would send to this Community are not free and will not be free unless you defend your right to be doing what you are doing every day of your life.
And so, teach your children that life is not a school of indulgence wherein one can engage in every possible diversity and then expect to offset this, as is attempted in some churches of the world, with only fifteen minutes or a half hour a week of prayer and communion with God.
What is this? It is childish but not childlike, for even children desire greater devotion and less entertainment.
So know, beloved, that you began aright in the heart of God. You descended for this very purpose in which you are engaged. And you are doing well, very well in many areas. My only comment to you is this: Do not ever let yourself be off guard. Do not take for granted the protection of the mighty Archangel Michael but give him his due and his energy multiplied many times over by your fervent decrees.
Yes, beloved, we are determined that these foul spirits who have destroyed many souls shall not be allowed to go on unchecked. Check them, beloved! Play your games of chess in King Arthur’s Court and defeat the fallen ones by the sword of the Spirit and by the tremendous calculations of the Mind of God in you that is able to solve even the most complex Chinese puzzle.
Defeat them, beloved, for they are in your hands. I put them in your hands this night and I give you the authority to defeat them. I give you my legions to protect you in the process. But I cannot stand between you and your karma of neglect. All the past is prologue. All the past must now become your garnering of wisdom, neutralizing the poisons, entering in to the heart of those five drops of oil, one from each of the Five Dhyani Buddhas, announced by Vairochana. <6>
So, beloved, this is the new day of your own maturity, your own wisdom, your own sagacity, your perceptions, your penetration of Truth. You have built a mighty foundation in your own individual life. Let it be enriched! Let it be strengthened! Pursue the vajra for empowerment. Become the Diamond One, the Vajrasattva. Know that power even of the word vajra to dispel ten thousand demons.
Chelas of the will of God: go about the earth as though you were on a physical mission for myself, Maitreya, Padma Sambhava, Jesus, Sanat Kumara. Go about the earth with that sense “God has empowered me. I shall remain humble at the altar of his heart and I shall send that power as bolts of blue lightning! bolts of blue lightning! into the earth.”
Blessed ones, many times many, many dozens of Bodhisattvas and Buddhas come to your side. Be the instrument of their word and their fiat. See how the demons flee at your very step and gait!
When it is time to rest and play, then rest and play. When it is time to be alert and on guard, which you must always be in any case, then be that to the fullest extent. Let there not be a never-never land of in-between where you lose your moorings and therefore become vulnerable.
Every one of you is targeted both by the demons and by the highest of the Buddhas of the cosmos. Therefore you are daily targeted by the forces of Light and by the enemies of your Light. You have all the power of God within you to defeat those enemies.
For the sake of all those who surely have died in vain at the hand of the Communist hordes, let my Western Shamballa be a place that is protected by Law, by Love, by Truth. Take your stand here and welcome those who are the true Lights out of Tibet. Welcome them into your arms, into embodiment. Welcome them, beloved, for it is time for the students of the Buddha to find the Pure Land that is in the West. I am in the etheric octave and physically walking at your side.
Thus there is the great map that is the thoughtform for the year. It is made up of a composite map of Light and a composite map of Darkness, which when superimposed one upon the other make up the single thoughtform for the year 1994. The governments of the nations, the government of this nation and the military establishments thereof are making choices for all of the people of the entire world.
I tell you, many of those who are serving around the world in the military have no heart. Their hidden agenda, sometimes unbeknownst to themselves (for they are thus programmed), is based on the desire only to conquer those who have Light and all that Sanat Kumara has built.
Thus the armies and military establishments of the world become the focus of your Saint Germain services in 1994. You yet have time to call for the binding and the judgment of the dweller-on-the-threshold of war itself and planetary war and the dragons of war—and thereby mitigate dire prophecy. By studying the formulas of your decrees and their results, you will understand when to use what decree and how to sense when you are pushing through dense maya, thrusting home and gaining a victory.
See what you can do, beloved. For I tell you, the portents of war in the earth will continue to build and the only brake upon them will be the decrees of the faithful Keepers of the Flame who have not forgot that were it not for Saint Germain they themselves would not have the violet flame nor the means to their ascension in this life.
Gratitude is as gratitude does. Therefore, my beloved, remember that gratitude in action is thanking God and the ascended hosts for your own deliverance. And in gratitude for that deliverance, you give your life that others might receive the very same blessing.
Forget not your liberation. Forget not. That you have been liberated as you have been is the greatest and most precious gift of all of your incarnations since you began to sow seeds of negative karma.
Now then, beloved, be thy brother’s keeper. For so great a salvation as is yours must not be kept selfishly to oneself. I am certain that I need not tell you this but I give you this statement as a gentle reminder.
Now, beloved, all those gathered in the Royal Teton this night and those of you who will gather in a matter of hours, for all are invited, will continue to study. And we will conduct classes through the conclusion of the Sun in Capricorn so that you may understand at inner levels not only the potential for war but also the part you can play to put the brake on the warring momentums in the people, in the planet and in the records.
I seal you with a heart of concern for the future.
I seal you with a heart of challenge, always with joy, always with victory. For the joy and the victory are of the spirit, but the warfare is of the flesh.
May you reach for the star of your Buddhahood and realize it in this life. All things are possible to you in Buddha.
Thus I bow to the Buddha within each one and I seal you with all the love of my heart, O blessed ones.
