The Mystery of Ascension’s Flame
Seraphim Deliver Increments of Light
for Earth’s Acceleration into a Golden Age
“O God, Have Mercy on Our Souls!”
Hail, fellow servants of God!
Seraphim have prepared for thee rings of fire, stepping down the great fire of the Central Sun to this place. And ye are ready as ready can be.
Thus, you have elevated consciousness and molecules of self. Aye, you have prepared to receive the seraphim. And I am pleased, for this company at this altitude in this place is consecrated by Lord Maitreya, the God and Goddess Meru, Lord Gautama Buddha and so many others. Indeed you have prepared a place. Angels have prepared it. Ascended hosts have prepared it.
There is such a thing as the purification of the earth itself and of the aura and of the mind and of the consciousness. Thus the chalice does increase year upon year. And the seraphim come this day for your healing. Ye who have prepared, so receive at the level at which you have filled your cups.
Be seated, then, and meditate in the Healing Thoughtform. <1>
I am sent by God to you and I am sent to announce to you that seraphim must deliver increments of Light for the raising up of the planetary home ere more souls are lost in the astral plane. Apart from your preparation at this conference, many of you have prepared for years and for lifetimes. Thus, the hour does come when unless we release the Light, beloved, earth will not have the opportunity for acceleration into the golden age.
Thus I speak to you. And I say that the Father-Mother God have directed us to deposit Light in your beings whether you are ready, whether you are not.
It is good that many among you have fasted, for thereby the translation of your souls and of your worlds will not be so difficult. It is good that you have heeded wise diet and prepared your bodies as the temples of sacred fire of seraphim. It is good that you have walked and talked and communed with your seraphim <2> so that you have that closeness, that proximity and are getting used to being in the fire of God.
For we do not deposit Light within those across the face of the earth who are utterly unprepared to receive it. But those who are prepared by their love for God, for the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit and the Divine Mother, have the capacity to hold Light and to hold the balance for percentages of earth’s evolutions.
You have received dictations for a number of years in which we have transmitted increments of Light to you. This Light which I bring is the most necessary, the most needed, and it must come this day. There is a mercy in this, beloved, for it is the day of the celebration of the resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Thus, he, the Mediator, one with your Holy Christ Self, will assist you in internalizing this sacred fire.
Seraphim approach now and first they place upon you the Healing Thoughtform. This Healing Thoughtform is an adjunct to the immaculate concept held for you by the blessed Mother of our Lord and your Holy Christ Self. This thoughtform, then, sustained around you each one, will bring that tuning of the lute, beloved, the tuning of the lute of your chakras and of your temple.
Now I command the cells of your bodies:
Be emptied of negativity, discord, disease and records of death! Be emptied! Be emptied! Be emptied!
Thus it is done, for all life does obey the command of seraphim of God and the Captain of Seraphic Bands, who I AM. This is an assistance, beloved, so that you may internalize and receive this Light and not be found out of balance with your Holy Christ Self, nor with your etheric blueprint.
Ho! Ho! Ho! The shafts of Light descend. For our God, Elohim, will not leave the sons and daughters of God in the earth comfortless. The sacred fire of seraphim is the comfort flame. Aye, it is the flame of the Holy Spirit.
Be still, all the earth, the fields, the beasts, the waters, those of the elemental kingdom, for Elohim draw nigh for the shifting, for the shifting, for the shifting and alignment of being.
Hold on to that which you shall receive, beloved. <3> For it shall be there for thee as long as thou dost hold it and as long as thou dost revere the presence of angels who come from the Central Sun, dripping with its fires of Divine Love.
I AM in the glory of the resurrection flame and the Spirit of the Resurrection in the Great Central Sun. And the seraphim who march with me are numberless, beyond counting, through the earth. They come and they possess the attribute of being able to absorb great quantities of human effluvia and the misqualifications of the human consciousness. Thus, the cleansing of layers of the earth by the seraphim this day will bear many positive results in the earth. And you should see those results, beloved ones, as the opening of the pathways for diligent souls to enter spiritual realms.
You have contributed mightily in this marathon, a prayer vigil with our Lord, watching with him not one but many, many hours. <4> Blessed hearts, let it be an annual event, for I tell you, by this service you have attracted Cosmic Beings who have not served with us in the earth for many tens of thousands of years.
Blessed hearts, I encourage you, for this devotion which you have had in many lifetimes as you have served in the monasteries of East and West is a ritual that is both natural and native to your souls. And you have given this service in the joy of your desiring to be bonded to the Lord.
Thus, the Church is transformed, you are transformed, and many lifestreams in the earth have had the dust and the dirt cleared from them. And they look now in this moment, as I speak to you, as those who rose from their graves in the hour of Jesus’ resurrection. <5> Yes, beloved, many who have heard the voice of the Son of God shall now live <6> because you have come, you have gathered, you have created such a forcefield through your decree marathon.
Not only are there lilies on the platform but there are lilies in every seat. You are the lilies of God and the lilies of the valley, soon to become lilies of the mountains and of the higher retreats and the higher abodes of the Bodhisattvas. And we have seen you at various levels on the inner planes this past night, <7> as you have risen to the place of your attainment, escorted there by seraphim and by Bodhisattvas.
There is a rejoicing in all planes of being except the plane of Death and Hell, where spirits of Darkness groan. For earth is come alive, you are come alive, the lily of the soul is come alive! And you have seen what you can do. Do not forget it! Do not allow the dark sea of the astral plane to cover you over again and again–ever again, beloved! You need never descend to those depths that you have put behind you.
Some of you in your decrees have been able to transmute misqualified energy that you had formerly engaged at the very lowest levels of your karma. You have partially rolled up the scroll and therefore you need not descend to those levels any longer, but you may assign the seraphim to go to those levels in your stead, even the thirty-three levels of the astral plane. Thus we shall descend to keep the way open for the Five Dhyani Buddhas to also go there for the rescue of souls. <8>
Blessed hearts, when you step even one foot above your former level of involvement with the consciousness of the astral plane, it is as though you had stepped a mile. Think of what can be compacted into a one-foot layer of the astral plane around the entire planetary body. Think of how easy it has been for you to fall into that hole!
We say, no more! Not again! For you who have participated in this marathon have merited that reprieve and that rolling up of the scroll of a level of karma, which means, beloved, that you are now eligible to carry more of the ascension flame–yes, more of the ascension flame, beloved, than you could have carried before. For only so much of that flame does descend to you.
Is this not a mighty gift of the Lord that you have given and now received again manyfold?
[Congregation responds: “Yes!” (47-second standing ovation)]
Oh, rejoice! Rejoice, rejoice, beloved ones! Rejoice!
Ere I continue now to expound on the ascension flame and to prepare you for that white fire’s descent, I ask you to sing to the ascension flame, to the hierarch of Luxor, Serapis Bey, and to the very day of your victory.
[Hymn 227, “The Ascension,” to the tune of “Aloha Oe”:]
The Ascension
|
|
From the realms of God’s eternal peace |
Now you may invoke mercy, mercy upon your souls, as you receive ascension’s fire. Therefore, repeat with me the mantra “O God, have mercy on our souls!” [Congregation joins Justinius:]
O God, have mercy on our souls! O God, have mercy on our souls!
O God, have mercy on our souls! O God, have mercy on our souls!
O God, have mercy on our souls! O God, have mercy on our souls!
O God, have mercy on our souls! O God, have mercy on our souls!
O God, have mercy on our souls!
Now be seated, blessed ones.
During this conference, you have had the opportunity to contemplate the next level of the ladder where you are determined to take your stand for Truth–and still stand. This you have considered in the light of the offerings of the Holy Spirit, of the offerings of angels of the Son of God and the Father-Mother. Have you determined to what level you are destined, the level you are absolutely convinced that you will rise to and hold?
[Congregation responds: “Yes!”]
Therefore, beloved, having so said and so done, recognize that at that level of commitment this fire shall come upon you at the conclusion of my address.
We come for the purification of the souls of Light upon earth. And you have sent a signal throughout the nations to the farthest corners of the earth that the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous will avail much. <9> Thus, there will be a spark that flies from heart to heart of those who commune with God each day–a new hope, a new faith, a new givingness of the self in the pure love of charity.
There will come to you, beloved, a confidence whereby you do not need to grasp and hold to yourself the things of this world, the things that were formerly important to you. You will come to know in the presence of the Holy Spirit the increased tending of your soul by seraphim and the joy of giving and giving again, and giving more again, and seeing how God does replenish your life tenfold, and manifold more, as you continue on the path of the givingness of self.
O blessed hearts, hold the line and remember your commitment. So often the devil would snatch from your mind the purest thoughts, the holiest experiences, the memories of communion. Write them down in your journal so that in moments when you are bowed down with a very heavy karma, you can read of all the experiences and miracles and communions that you have had throughout this life and many embodiments.
O blessed ones, speak to those devils who are the false- hierarchy impostors of the seraphim of God. (And I might say, they do a very bad job of imitating us!) Say to them, then:
In the name Jesus Christ, get thee hence!
Get thee hence, O thou foul and unclean spirits!
Be removed from this house!
Be removed from my mind and my body!
Be gone now ere you confront the Almighty and his fire
and seraphim of God devour you on the spot!
Let the devils tremble instead of you trembling, beloved. Let them tremble! And walk, as you walk with the Lord Jesus Christ, as one having the authority and the empowerment, as one having the extension of this altar and the extension of the heart of this Messenger whereby you are tied to octaves upon octaves of Light that continue to the very throne room of Alpha and Omega in the Great Central Sun.
Now is the day of salvation! Now is the accepted and acceptable time <10> for you to claim your position on the mountain of God and to keep climbing until you have won the summit. Oh yes, beloved!
Now seraphim come closer. They have not yet turned up the sacred fire, but they are becoming congruent with the time and space you occupy. Therefore stand where you are that they might stand over you, for this process is beginning.
[Congregation stands.]
And remember the appearance of the seraphim of God to the prophet, <11> beloved ones. Remember the mighty wings of the angels. Remember their coming, for they do open the gates of the Tree of Life. Yes, they do open the gates as you climb the ladder of the Tree of Life from Malkhut at the bottom to Keter at the top, to the very I AM THAT I AM. <12> You are climbing more than Jacob’s ladder, beloved. You are climbing through the intricacies of the matrices of God.
Thus, the sefirot present to you a very complex form of geometry, the geometry of God and Elohim whereby you are made. And know, beloved, that when you come to that attainment that is possible through your embodying of the principles of the sefirot, you are held in a grid of Light that cannot be broken except by your free will.
Take heed, then, that all weaknesses are addressed, as you have heard earlier in this conference. Address them. Heal them. Bind them! Fill the weak spots with great strength that comes to you directly from God.
Why tarry ye in the doldrums of self-doubt or self-pity or continue on with this or that malady? Have ye no faith?
O ye of little faith, take heed, then!
Have you kept your maladies because you need an excuse to remove yourselves from the altar of God?
Have you kept your maladies because they are convenient?
Do you fear to be whole lest there come upon you other responsibilities where you have no excuse any longer to withhold yourselves from entering the path of the sacred fire?
Be not deceived! All of heaven sees this!
And what shall we do with you who prefer to walk about with your maladies rather than to be whole and to face the responsibilities of individual Christhood?
Well, I tell you, the answer is: Not very much! We will leave you alone! And you can cry in your beer or spend your days in criticism of all others who are mounting the spiral staircase. We will leave you alone. And when you are very much alone, as Jesus was alone in the garden, you can choose whether to go the way of the temptations of Satan or to say: “Father, if thou be willing, let this cup pass from me. Nevertheless, not my will but thine be done.” <13>
Show me that courage and I will show you myself! And I personally will come to you. And no one will recognize you, for you shall be transformed and then transfigured by the power of the sacred fire of the seraphim of God.
We are available to you! But we find that some of you are not available to us; nor do you welcome our ministrations. What a pity! What a pity! But you have free will. Therefore we send you divine pity and a withering look and we move on. And you will have to call upon us many times ere we come again.
Yes, beloved, there are those who fear the confrontation with the Messenger. I tell you, rather welcome the confrontation with the Messenger and fear the confrontation with Almighty God in her stead.
Know, then, that the shorn lamb receives the comforting presence. But ye are no longer shorn lambs. You have understood the Lamb of God. You have walked and talked with the Lamb of God. You have been taken up to the seventh heaven with the Lamb of God.
No, you are not babes in Christ any longer! You are not children in Christ any longer! You are sons and daughters of God! Now take your mantle as Elisha took the mantle of Elijah, <14> part the waters of the astral plane that will otherwise engulf you, and go forward and claim your Christhood!
Be willing to pay the price, whatever it is, for the anointing of the Holy Ghost. You will never, ever regret it, I assure you. And you will become someone who has self-respect instead of self-condemnation–yes, self-respect because you know who you are, you walk in the footprints of your Lord and you will not turn back for anything or anyone.
No, beloved. You will serve with those who love the will of God and count them as your dearest family. <15> You will serve with those who have no compromise and are not waiting for another round and another round and the next life while they enjoy the dillydallying in this world–paltry world, paltry pleasures, momentary sensuality!
What of all of this? I say open your eyes and look to the hills, whence cometh your help. Look to your Mighty I AM Presence! Look to the God of glory! And know that in this hour the earth is flooded with seraphim and other bands of angels and the nine choirs.
Yes, beloved, we are here. But do not take for granted the Father’s sending of us, as has been said also. You must take the tide at its flood. You must take the tide when that tide is ready–no sooner, no later. For unless you take the tide at its flood, you will be caught in the doldrums for how many centuries, how many thousands of years! For us this time is nothing. For you it is a long delay, a very, very long delay in your entire life plan.
Thus, I, Justinius, say to you:
Wake up in the name of the Lord of the World, who has given his life for you!
Wake up in the name of the hosts of the Lord camped on the hillsides robed in white!
Wake up! Seize your day, make it your own and show the world that in the darkest stage of the Kali Yuga, yet such as Enoch, yet such as Zarathustra, yes, yet such as the Lord Christ can walk and talk and be in the earth in bodies of flesh and can shine with the power of the Holy Spirit and the aura of the saints.
All things are possible unto you when you walk under the shadow of the Almighty. May you never have to experience the regret of having forsaken those possibilities.
I AM Justinius! The sacred fire of ascension’s flame descends upon you now! And mark this moment and time. Now is the time it descends. <16> Now deal with this Light and do not allow it to amplify the darkness or the aggravations in your being. Let the Light consume them.
Be open! Be free!
I move on. I shall touch every lover of God in this earth with my love and my seraphim shall bear them the same. And I say to them: God have mercy on your souls! May you assimilate the Light and may this hour mark the greatest opportunity thus far for Aquarius to become a golden age.
You have come.
You have seen.
Go forth and have your Victory!
I AM Justinius! And I shall certainly make note of those who do not make the most of this dispensation. For in the next round I shall not be allowed to deliver such Light to you.
Thus, cherish the waters of eternal Life.
For such is the mystery of ascension’s flame.
[2-minute standing ovation]
