Love Is the Great Challenge
“‘Comfort Ye, Comfort Ye My People,’ Saith Your God”

Heightened awareness, discernment of spirits, discrimination—it is well to ponder these.

I understand the disciplines of Love in every field. Love is the great challenge, for Love can be dissipated when it has no chalice. Be chalices of Love and know the disciplines of the disciples of the Lord Sanat Kumara.

Understand Love’s underpinnings in the fields of art, design, theater, architecture, engineering and so many endeavors—Love embraces them all. For without the element of Love, nothing will stick together. You cannot even take clay and cause it to stick except by the ingredient of Love.

Love, then, exists at many levels. There are basic levels of human love. And then there are levels of all-transcending, self-transcendent love, love that is sacrificial—love that is so all-consuming that in its presence one desires to surrender and to surrender again to the arms of Love as cherubim raise one up into exalted levels of being.

Love is surrender unto one’s calling, unto one’s God, unto one’s principles. And as one surrenders unto these, one transcends them and enters the Word itself that is made flesh in every son and daughter of God.

There is love that never gives up, will never say die, will stick with you through and through, through thick and thin. There is love that is beauty, love that is precision in the design of the human body or the design of a temple or in the light and harmony of paintings such as those I executed. <1>Without the works of art that have portrayed and kept to the fore even the image of God in every world religion, there should not be understanding.

Love embraces the All-Seeing Eye of God. Therefore, when you see through the third eye, see with love. Cast not the beacon of the third eye upon this or that one without shedding petals of love upon the scene. For as you qualify your third eye, beloved, so shall you create. And if you create that which is not of Love, you shall have a long, long journey to uncreate that which you did fail to create in Love.

Love is bringing to life those who have been burdened, who experience death and dying even while they are living. Love, beloved, contains all that science need ever know in the way of healing.

Yet so many are not ready for healing. Their chalices are filled with fear and anger, as they have resentment for those who did this or that. Not only is this state of consciousness without love but it is also self-destructive and ultimately destructive of the very functioning of the cells of the human body. Therefore, I call you to take measured cups of love, yes, measured cups of love, and give them to those who can assimilate your love as an elixir.

Understand this, beloved. All great teachers of wisdom have taught that one must not cast one’s pearls before the swinish elements of the human consciousness. For these pearls are made by God. They are seeds of Light. The pearl represents the sphere of the soul.

So Love is a disciplined pathway. And as you know, the day when the ray of Divine Love intensifies on earth is Monday. And you have noted that it is often a day of chaos and confusion and sometimes little accomplishment. This is because the forces of Death and Hell are virulent in their thrust against Love. For Love is the fire of creation, the fire of invention, the fire of the elevation of the soul!  Love is the reuniting of twin flames, formed out of a single fiery ovoid in the Beginning with God in the Great Central Sun.

Love is the fulfillment of every law. And when you bow to the Law and are obedient to the Law, Love becomes your fortress, fortifying you, sealing you, protecting you. Make no mistake, beloved, Love is the all-power of God to accomplish all things.

Love thyself. Love thy soul. Do not allow schisms within!  Go deep, deep in the unconscious and saturate, saturate, saturate again and again with Love’s fires along with the violet fire of Freedom’s love.

If you do not love yourself because you have been condemned by parents or others, then, beloved, that condemnation will become self-condemnation and it will follow you and follow you and follow you like a plague. And if you do not watch out, it will become a plague in your body and in your house.

Resolve all things with Love. Pray to be immersed in the fires and the waters and the fragrances of the Love of Elohim, Elohim. Yes, beloved, if you have not been loved, then love ten thousand times ten thousand again and again, loving and loving and loving as you serve to set yourself and all life free. Take note of how regiments of demons and darkness would tear you from your first and best love, would tear you from kindness, from carefulness, from tarrying awhile with your brother or sister to comfort, to “‘Comfort ye, comfort ye my people,’ saith your God.” <2>

Love is dispersed and parted where there is war, where there is resentment, where there are those who will never forgive and never forget. This nonforgiving and nonforgetting is, in reality, a dark disease in the earth. And as you see nation warring against nation around the globe, remember that where the love fire of the heart has been extinguished by harshness, by the blackness of the plague of nonlove—there, beloved, there, beloved, is the need for the reigniting of the flame.

How did the flame go out, the very flame that God placed on the altar of being?

It was snuffed out oh so easily by that blackness of the plague of nonforgiveness.

So in those areas where the tempter does come to unseat you, you must be in control. You must be in God-control of your vibration, how you think and feel about everyone you know and the millions whom you do not know who are spiritually bankrupt, for their love fires are gone out.

Blessed ones, you cannot love and hate simultaneously. You cannot have love and hate in your heart simultaneously. I say to you, as the Messenger has said long ago, when you are angry you have made both a conscious decision to be angry and a conscious decision to forsake love. Anger does not just happen because you are out of control. You have been out of control for many, many lifetimes because you have allowed that anger, that out-of-control state to overpower you.

If you choose to be love, to have love and to be in the Sacred Heart of Padma Sambhava, of Jesus Christ, of Lord Maitreya, of Lord Gautama Buddha, of Sanat Kumara—yes, if you choose to be in the heart of their love, then you must also make the choice not to be in the gall of bitterness, not to allow your wrath to be kindled, not to entertain aggression, aggravation, argumentation, accusation, et cetera. You make the choice, beloved. Tend the fire of the love of the heart:  this is my call to you, for Aquarius is an age of Love.

How shall Love be outplayed?  How indeed, beloved, when there is such a great greed in the hearts of men for money?  How indeed, when decisions are made by nations and peoples solely on the basis of money and the money beast?

Beware the money beast!  Beware how it insinuates itself into your soul when you have not taken your stand against the poison of avarice or envy or greed.

All things are God’s; all things shall return to God. The temple you wear is not yours; it is God’s. Therefore, do not covet. Do not covet. You may not be aware that you covet the wealth or the blessedness of another but, blessed ones, most people do have a layer of untransmuted covetousness that says, “Why can’t I have all of this and all of that that my neighbor has?”

Covetousness will eat away at your heart. It will eat away at the very marrow of your bones. It will make you sick. What good is the Path if you forget that you already have all of God inside of you?

So, beloved, seek early to pluck out the black threads of the plague of nonlove. Pluck them out of the psyche!  Pluck them out of your mind!  Whatever else you do, get rid of them!  Let this year be a year of such love and loving that love will be the melting of all hardness of heart nation by nation.

Legions of cherubim of God surround you. Oh, be taken to the retreats this night!  Come to the retreat of the Royal Teton in your finer bodies. Come to the retreat of the Goddess of Liberty over New York City. Come, beloved, and study. Allow us to show you the great glory of the reality you have already encapsulated in your being and therefore become, and allow us to show you the dark shafts that have entered the precincts of your soul, which must be consumed by your sendings of the violet flame to the very core of your being.

Indeed, let Love be the dividing of the way. Choose Love!  Choose Love and keep Love. When you choose Love there is the dividing of the way, for you can no longer know communion with anyone who yet embodies the forces of anti-Love.

Show the Christhood that you are becoming. Show it by love. In this manner, I say, be healed!  Be healed of all thy diseases. Be ready chalices for self-transcendence.

In the living fires of the resurrection flame, I wrap you in the swaddling garment of the Divine Mother. And the swaddling garment she places around you in this hour is the garment of Love and the love fires of the violet flame.

Therefore, I ask you to join me now in sealing my dictation by singing the decree Saint Germain has dictated. It is a worded chalice into which you pour your love of Saint Germain and his violet flame. Thus the Seventh Ray shall seal your day of eternal rest and of love in action.

I invite our beloved choir to lead you in singing “Violet Fire, I Love Thee!”

Now visualize the violet flame sweeping up through you, curling up from beneath, from the very center of the earth to the center of the Great Central Sun. See the flames dancing, leaping, rejoicing!

The violet flame is a singing flame of the Holy Spirit. Know that it is the source of alchemy, your own alchemical transformation whereby you shall absolutely conquer the forces that you have aptly called the Martian perversions of the Alpha flame.

[Church Universal and Triumphant Choir leads the congregation in singing song 804, “Violet Fire, I Love Thee!”]

 

Violet Fire, I Love Thee!
by Saint Germain

1.   

Violet fire, I love thee!
Come, strengthen right desire
With Mercy’s flame enfold me
All guilt and blame retire.

Blaze through me now!
Blaze through me now!
Blaze through me now!

Refrain:    

Come, violet fire!
Descend into my form!
Thy consecrated purity
Bringing cosmic ecstasy
Making me to be like thee—
Adorn my being now!

2.    

Harmonize my members
My body fill with light
My perfect image render
In beauty I delight!

Penetrate through!
Penetrate through!
Penetrate through!

3.    

Descending drops of Mercy
Like gentle summer rain
Melt all hardened substance
Dissolve my inner pain!

In I AM name!
In I AM name!
In I AM name!

4.    

Collapse my human ego
Momentums of the years
My burdens I relinquish
Surrender all my fears!

Assume me now!
Assume me now!
Assume me now!

5.    

By consecrated wafer
Christ-essence flows through me
Thy Body and thy Blood
Transforms me; I AM free!

Subsume me now!
Subsume me now!
Subsume me now!

6.    

In thy mighty crucible
By holy alchemy
My soul is now transmuted
Desiring only thee!

Crystallize here!
Crystallize here!
Crystallize here!

7.    

I AM bonded to my Christ Self
On fire with His love
My mind affixed forever on
God’s Presence there above.

Flow unto me!
Flow unto me!
Flow unto me!

8.    

Commanding Buddhic peace
Envelop all my soul
My consciousness expanding
To reach the highest goal.

Manifest here!
Manifest here!
Manifest here!

 

   And in full Faith I consciously accept this manifest, manifest, manifest!  (3x) right here and now with full Power, eternally sustained, all-powerfully active, ever expanding and world enfolding until all are wholly ascended in the Light and free!

Beloved I AM!  Beloved I AM!  Beloved I AM!
