The Communion Cup of the Everlasting Gospel
Thanksgiving Day Address 1996
Part 2
Throughout the decades of our Messenger’s service, she has given you this message: Do not think that because terrorism has not yet happened in your own backyard, it will not happen. It can happen in a moment–in the lighting of one match, the squeezing of a trigger, the detonating of a bomb, the firing of a rocket.
Terrorism has erupted in New York, Oklahoma City, Dhahran and Riyadh. It marred the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. It was narrowly averted in Phoenix and again in New York. It can happen anywhere. <1>
Is there no recourse when it comes to dealing with terrorists? There is little recourse through law enforcement. For the United States has welcomed to its shores peoples from around the world, some of whom are determined to move against the integrity of this nation and the peoples who have settled here in good faith and in good conscience because they want to be a part of the American dream.
The times are tenuous. Yet as the moments and the months and the years move on, you will look back at the tally of acts of terrorism and acts of constructivism that have taken place by the turn of the century and specifically by 2002. And you will know that major changes for the betterment of the world and every soul on earth have taken place because you gave your finest hours to Saint Germain and his violet-flame decrees.
But if you have neglected to give your finest hours to Saint Germain, you will be likened unto the foolish among the
| ten virgins [who] took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. |
They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
And at midnight there was a cry made, “Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.”
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
And the foolish said unto the wise, “Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.”
But the wise answered, saying, “Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.”
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, “Lord, Lord, open to us.”
But he answered and said, “Verily I say unto you, I know you not.”
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. - Matt. 25:1-13
And so I counsel you, beloved, to store light within the lamps of your chakras and to conserve the sacred fire on your spinal altar, even as you increase in the wisdom and stature of God. Through loving obedience to your Holy Christ Self, you will come to recognize the still, small voice, the voice of conscience within you, who gives you unerring guidance.
Conditional Love
Now, my beloved, won’t you lovingly receive my teaching that I gave you two thousand years ago and that I also give you today:
“As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
“This is my commandment: that ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.” <2>
Now I would speak to you of this conditional love. Conditional love means that the Father and the Son love you conditionally, not unconditionally. Therefore, study my words and note the conditions of our love for you: “If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love.” Conversely, this means that if ye do not keep my commandments, ye shall not abide in my love. Again, I underscored to my disciples the conditional nature of my love for them when I said, “Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.”
Violet Flame: The Ultimate Gift
Saint Germain has given you the gift of the violet flame. And indeed it is the ultimate gift that an Ascended Master can give to a chela. For it liberates you to take dominion over yourself rather than asking the Lord God and his hosts to do it for you.
Long ago the leaders of the world’s major religions could have led their followers to embrace the violet flame of the Holy Spirit, even as they could have taught them the science of the spoken Word in the application of violet-flame decrees. And by now they could have introduced the violet flame to every household on earth with stupendous results.
Yet in their pride they were not about to cede their place. At subconscious levels they rejected the flame because it was offered to them by the Messenger, who is the representative of the World Mother, whose coming has been anticipated for thousands of years.
Had they surrendered their pride as well as their seat of human authority, by this date the Messenger could have brought to the world the glorious message of Saint Germain and the power of the violet flame. This was the plan of the Darjeeling Council. And with your help and God’s help, she may yet do so.
Therefore I ask you to pray fervently to the Goddess of Justice to give our Messenger another opportunity to bring to the world Saint Germain’s glorious gift. For this flame, when invoked by millions of people worldwide, can transmute the ills of an entire civilization.
And had the clergy of the world’s major religions accepted Saint Germain’s gift of the violet flame through the World Mother, the people would have been free to set the world on fire with violet flame! Even two-thirds of the nations engaged in giving the violet flame would have been enough to transform the world. Even 51 percent could have averted or at least greatly mitigated World War II.
Is it too late, beloved?
They say it is never too late. But there does come a time when it is too late. Yes, the cycles do turn, and it is possible for you to miss your calling in this life if you have taken for granted the blessings of the Ascended Masters.
Thus, internalize the Word!
Activate the Word!
And give the sacrificial gift of the Word!
For whatever you give to God, he will give you in return.
“Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” <3> As the Preacher said, “Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.” <4>
Thus, in the hour of your greatest need, the good that you have sent forth will return to you in abundant measure.
Follow the Adepts
Remember, beloved, your victory depends upon your full acceptance of the peace-commanding I AM Presence, who lives within your temple. Remember, if you desire to receive God’s empowerment and to wield God’s power, you must submit the musings of your own soul and your own mind to the laws of cosmic truth. For God has drawn a fine line of discrimination between truth and error, which is up to you to decipher.
What shall become of this nation? What shall become of the youth? How far can we go before the entire ship of state is capsized due to the imbalances in the psyche of the nation and its people.
If in this very moment you could hear the moaning and groaning of souls in agony on the astral plane or on beds of pain on earth, you would cry out to the living God for mercy on their behalf. Yet you do not hear their cries, beloved, for only those close to the dying hear their cries.
Thus I paint you a picture, for I desire that you should not always view life with a false optimism. Nor can you say that all is well within your members if you have not slain “the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit” <5> to assail your soul. Therefore I step through the veil through your Holy Christ Self, and I enter your temple and abide with you. May you espouse the goal of your own God-Mastery and God-Control. For to that end I lead you day by day.
Do not waste this or a future lifetime in the neglect of your personal God-Power under the Great Divine Director, your personal God-Love under Saint Germain, your personal God-Mastery under me, your personal God-Control under Helios, your personal God-Obedience under Godfré, your personal God-Wisdom under El Morya, your personal God-Harmony under Serapis Bey, your personal God-Gratitude under the Goddess of Liberty, your personal God-Justice under Lord Lanto, your personal God-Reality under Mighty Victory, your personal God-Vision under Cyclopea, and your personal God-Victory under Lord Maitreya.
Accept us as your role models, for we will show you the way to empowerment–God’s way. And the way of empowerment of all who have preceded you and moved on is the way of Divine Love.
Over the centuries I have lived and moved among the adepts of the ages. Yes, for thousands of years I have walked the planet with such great Lights as our father Enoch, Melchizedek, the Ancient of Days, the prophets of Israel and Judah and the mighty ones of the Far East–Gautama, Maitreya, Padma Sambhava, Bodhidharma and Lao Tzu, to name but a few.
Officially I have fulfilled my mission on behalf of the evolutions of earth, yet I will tarry to bring home the elect of the earlier root races, who are about to graduate from earth’s schoolroom. All of these have agreed to accept Saint Germain’s violet flame and his teachings for the age of Aquarius that will assist them in making their ascension.
Yes, I must bring home those who in many cases have earned their ascension yet require lessons on soul refinement from the Messenger. She will teach them how to transmute the five poisons and the sixth <6> by observing Gautama’s Middle Way. By diligent application to these lessons, they will know a freedom and an empowerment that they never dreamed they could realize in such a short time.
