Vol. 40 No. 29 - Beloved Serapis Bey - July 20, 1997
Easter Retreat 1997

Onward to Luxor!
Beloved of God in the white fire of being, beloved of God manifest in the suns of the chakras, in the manifestations of your heart’s joy flame: I AM Serapis Soleil and in the victory of my being I carry the sword of your victory.
Can you imagine, beloved, that I should be so generous as to carry for you for so long a time the sword that you may have lost, the sword that you would reclaim, even the magic sword--the sword Excalibur?
Do you believe in miracles? Do you believe in the victory of the sword?
[Congregation responds: “Yes!”]
Then take that sword. Yes, take that sword and draw it around the circumference of the planet and her vast evolutions.
Know that we who serve at Luxor, that we who preside over the ascensions of those who graduate and go on to higher octaves in this and other dimensions of spherical being daily celebrate the crowning of the individual son or daughter of God whose hour of destiny is come. Do not anticipate this event to be far away, for tempus fugit.
And therefore, beloved, build upon the closeness that you have with the sacred fire and the discipline of Serapis Bey, who tutors you in your daily use of ascension’s flame. Practice the raising up of ascension’s flame, even as you raise up the Kundalini. Do this for yourself and for others until this white spiraling plume is rising, rising, rising and you see another and another and another taking his ascension through that flame.
Oh, how near you are to that moment! Yet how far, far, far away you have drifted from the true realization and expectancy that it will happen. And it will happen to you because you find the key to El Morya’s geometry for your personal being. Think of this and be seated.
In an Instant I Move You to Luxor
Beloved ones, those who serve in the retreats of the Great White Brotherhood, who have passed from the screen of life and now serve in this Community, who have been in the I AM movement, who have been in The Summit Lighthouse--these ones, beloved, are as close to you as the person sitting next to you. Yet they are robed in garments of light.
They go to various chambers where, for instance, they repeat mantras for the healing of fear, for the setting aright of the out-of-alignment state that they, like you and others, have allowed themselves to get into. Think, then, that in this moment you may be but a seat away from an initiate!
I draw a mighty circle around all who have come together for this dictation and in an instant I move you, as one, to Luxor. Look at the buildings all in white. Look at the vaulted chambers. Look at the disciplines that would-be initiates must undergo. And look upon the many who must receive their initiations at Luxor, who, now that they are there, wish that they could be here in physical embodiment. Nevertheless, wherever they are, on earth or in heaven, they are intense. For I am intense. Justinius is intense. The white fire is intense. You need intense white fire if you would have alchemical change--white fire, beloved!
All Must Go through the Trial by Fire
How many of you are ready for the trial by fire? One knight is named. Others must follow. Understand, beloved, that all must undergo the trial by fire. For none of you who is sincere on the path would desire to attain your ascension without going through the initiations of the path, specifically the trial by fire. For, to fight the good fight and to win is a most rewarding event in the life of the initiate. And it is one of the highest initiations the Chela, with a capital C, may experience while in incarnation on earth.
A Carnal State Prevents Spiritual Growth
|
|
And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; And ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s. I Cor. 3 |
Therefore, many have gone through the trial by fire--devout souls who throughout the centuries have lain on the battlefields of life for the cause of truth. These are the pure spirits and the angelic hosts who have embodied to march side by side with the armies of the Lord on earth and in heaven.
You Must Be Able to See
There are many initiations, beloved, both physical and spiritual, that you can take, and pass, on planet earth and therefore have to your credit when you go to the etheric octave to learn the lessons that that octave teaches you. Beloved, you will carry with you for aeons lessons you have learned on earth. You cannot take with you to the octaves of light lessons you did not learn on earth simply because you were blind.
In order for you to pass your initiations, you must be able to see. Will you see with the third eye? Will you see with the heart and the flame of the heart? Will you see by the concentric rings of light that make up your Great Causal Body? How will you see the universe, and how will you see the universes beyond this universe that you will surely one day enter so long as you keep the living flame of the Christ centered and balanced?
Keep the threefold flame and its joy!
Keep the love flame and its joy!
Keep the wisdom flame and its joy!
Keep the power flame and its joy!
Come! Come to the fore with Archangel Michael and his legions. Come! Come into the victory cycle. Come into the victory mold.
You Are Made of Solid Fiery-White Substance
Do you carry about you a mantle, perhaps the very mold of your victory? Have you asked your Holy Christ Self to refine that mold? What style shall it be, and what victory may one day be yours?
I daresay that I think most of you here are tried and true as well as determined, and that you want to have your victory all the way and not in part. You want to leave this world having balanced at least 51 percent of your karma.
And if circumstances do not allow you to finish your course on earth, it is possible that you may balance your karma in my retreat at Luxor. Therefore, I invite you to Luxor for that specific purpose. For Luxor is a very concrete retreat and when you begin to ascend the fiery-white spiral of the Fourth Ray, and you find yourself being transformed as described by the Messengers of the “I AM” Activity and The Summit Lighthouse, you will know, beloved, from the core of your being that you are, in reality, made of solid fiery-white substance (if, indeed, you can imagine what that might mean to you in this hour). And the power of the white flame of Luxor will raise you, as from the four points of the base of the pyramid, until in that moment, you are the sole one who passes through the capstone of the pyramid. You alone shall emerge immortal, an Ascended Master.
Will you, then, find familiarity with those who are in the world yet not of the world? Why, of course you will! And you will move among them. You will give them the cup of the Teachings. And if some lose heart, you will give them of the cup of your heart. The flame of the heart is both the greatest gift that you can give and the greatest gift that you can receive. Beloved, your heart flame contains the power of love that can create wholeness between one or two or millions of people.
Infinity Is Reality
In the fire of Serapis we ask you to dedicate this Community of the Holy Spirit to the flame of living Love, to the Maha Chohan, to me, Serapis, and to all of us who cherish the flame of living love--because we know that without it there can only be death and dying. But with it, there is an eternal movement of the spheres from within and without your being. And through this movement, you will crisscross the vastness of cosmos, moving to the very edge and then pass on to the next and the next and the next of worlds.
Infinity is reality. Place your feet upon the ground and say to yourself, “I am here so that I might feel the ray of eternality, the ray of everlasting life.” Understand what it means to live in eternity, to work in eternity, to expand one’s Causal Body in eternity and ultimately to nurture millions of other evolutions.
Beloved, what we bring to you is an expansive, never-ending sense that the earth is the Lord’s, and that the fullness of the Lord is the cup of Divine Love that you may drink.
Let love be the magnet that draws you to so many who already know the Maha Chohan as their teacher and the embodiment of the Holy Spirit, who already know the angels. So, beloved, bring to them the tenderness of your heart. Try this out as an exercise and use it to expand the love fires of your heart, bringing with that love flame the yellow fires of your heart, the blue fires of your heart and the white sphere of the Mother.
You Are Almost Immortals
Come with me, beloved. Come with me. For I would speak to you because you are “almost” immortals. Yet, your soul, not seeing this, drifts away from the dictation and you wonder: “What does this mean? How am I an immortal?”
Well, I will tell you. You are an immortal because the seed of God is in you. Now you must nourish that seed with and through your Holy Christ Self. And you must be prepared to receive the disciplines of your Mentor.
If you would have a Guru, that is well. If you would have an angel or an Archangel or an Ascended Master to be your Guru, that, too, is well. But if you go directly to the Messenger who will tell you immediately how you can change your world in three easy steps and totally turn around your life, well, then go to the Messenger. For the Messenger is anchored here in the physical octave, and the exalted beings we have named are over her in layers upon layers of being. And so you have the advantage of seeing the different ways in which different Gurus who occupy levels of the heaven-world and those here below might assist you to deal with a problem that you may have.
Use Me! Use Me! Use Me!
As the Messenger has said many times, “Use me! Use me! Use me!” So do it. For time is fleeting. Time is fleeting. Time is fleeting. And if you must accelerate, for you have heard the clarion call, and you know that all that has been given to you is so that you might mark the timetable of your victory, then mark that time and use it.
The Messenger is determined to be here with you until each of you, and all who come after you, have had your victory. Then El Morya will be gratified. Then El Morya will regain his diamond. Then we will see how this company of saints, worlds without end, shall have totally turned around the conditions of this planet in the three years that are before us. <1>
Now act! all of you, with your ingenuity, your inner seeing and your inner sensitivity. For only if you take action will you turn the tide. Act! Act! Act! And see, see what a glorious victory this can be. And will you say, “It shall be”?
[Congregation responds: “Yes. It shall be.”]
Let us hear you stand and say it with the full fury of your being.
[Congregation responds: “It shall be!”]
This is magnificent, beloved. And in the magnificence of everlasting life, I present to you now the Archangel Gabriel.
[14-second standing ovation]
