Embrace the Guru
In the light of the spring equinox, I am come to you. I come to raise up the flame of the resurrection and the life within your body temples.
The Ascended Master El Morya, my blessed comrade, has diligently worked with you who are here on staff at Church headquarters that you might outpicture the requirements for your soul’s achieving union with God. <1> Many of you have discovered that you are farther along on the Path than you realized. <2> Others have not come so far. These, too, are surprised--surprised that they have not made greater progress.
The Seven Holy Kumaras, the Lords of Karma, Gautama Buddha, Lord Maitreya, Jesus Christ, Padma Sambhava and the embodied Messenger have come to you because some of you have had such difficulty in balancing 51 percent of your karma and then moving on to balance 100 percent. As the Messenger has shown you the tallies again and again, you realize that for those chelas who have balanced 45 percent of their karma, it has been most difficult to move on and finally gain their victory.
You have also been told that to do so, it is necessary that you have a living Guru who can assist you. Therefore, a long time ago the Messenger received from Padma Sambhava the mantle of Guru.
Chisel Away Stones of Pride
Now, as we look across the earth to the nations and to all of you who are listening on the patch, we say: through the sponsorship of Alpha and Omega, your Father-Mother God in the Great Central Sun, we have placed our Electronic Presence in this sanctuary so that you might experience darshan with us. Therefore, beloved, realize that to enter in to the Holy of holies of God some things must drop away. Chisel, then. Mold. And remove from yourselves what you see as stones of pride, stones of stumbling.
In this time of change, when Pisces yields to Aquarius, there is a vast opening in the cosmos and a turning of worlds. You have heard the prophecy that one day there would be mass ascensions on the hillsides of the world. Thus, understand what a gift is the presence of the Guru in one’s life. For through that Guru, you shall know an acceleration of the flame in your heart that perhaps you could never have conceived of.
These moments, hours, weeks and months portend cycles that are moving above and beneath the earth, within people’s unconscious, affecting the individual configuration that we call personality. Some of you choose the difficult path, securing each step day by day and holding that step and refusing to go backward. Even if the air is thin, even if the elements should rage, so you hold that ground.
Embrace the Guru and Fiercely Overcome the Not-Self
Holding your ground does not come solely by determination, though determination is central. It comes, as we have said, as you embrace the one whom you call Guru. Her momentum can be yours, but you must make it your own.
We would not have planned this avenue of darshan for you without many years of consideration. But we reached the point where we had no recourse; rather, we were compelled to give you the percentages of just how much karma you have balanced and just how much you have not.
We were required to give you this information because some of you are candidates for the ascension today, having balanced at least 51 percent of your karma. And others who have not reached that level must surely work the works of God with great fierceness to overcome the not-self and free their inner being that is yet in the grips of that not-self.
Enter, then, your Holy Christ Self. Surely your Holy Christ Self is your mentor, is your Guru. But not all of you have an open channel of communication, much less an ongoing conversation with your Holy Christ Self. You need to cultivate this communication every day of your life.
Yes, your Holy Christ Self may be your Guru. But if you do not obey your Holy Christ Self because you do not listen to him with the humility in which he speaks to you, then how can he bring you to the level of your Christhood?
The Hour for Your Victory Is Come!
Did you know that your Holy Christ Self is a special person with a very special profile? Indeed, your Holy Christ Self is unique. Many of you who have caught glimpses of him have already begun to take on his distinctive patterns.
Indeed, the hour for your victory is come. But have you considered that you may miss that victory because perhaps you have fear or pride or because you do not want the Messenger to tell you something that may offend you or that perhaps you simply do not want to do?
The Messenger has examined many staff members aged forty to eighty and above, and she has seen that those who have raised up the sacred fire of God on the spinal altar are the ones, perhaps unsung and unknown, who have come to that point in life when they know they are ready to move on.
Therefore, they have reunited with the Deathless Solar Body and are ready to merge with the living God, for they long for reunion and for their return to the Father-Mother God. These have come full circle, back to the path of holy innocence.
Eschew the Martian A’s
As I have said, “It is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.” <3> If you will cease kicking against the pricks, beloved ones, and only obey the commandments, then you will begin to understand how vital, how necessary it is for you to forge ahead and be mindful in your inner being of how you can lose good, positive karma through any of the Martian A’s, especially anger. <4>
When anger descends and you allow it to pass through you, at that moment you may lose many, many points. There are individuals who serve and work hard who have lost again and again through the inability to process that anger and defeat it before it defeats them.
Thus, I, Jesus, come to you with the certainty that this is the century for the graduation of many, many refined souls of light. Moreover, if you will accept the Guru that we have sent to you, as imperfect as you might think she is, you will make rapid progress. If you do not accept her and what she can teach you, you may lose much or all that you have gained for thousands of years.
Pluck Your Victory as a Flower
There are times when your victory can be yours almost effortlessly. You pluck it as a flower and, lo, you are in another dimension, for the momentums of your past have propelled you to that triumph over the not-self.
Now then, as I speak to you, I would, if I could, compel you to assume a higher motivation, a higher determination to be centered in the will of God, to not be moved, to call upon the violet flame to consume the energies of your dweller-on-the-threshold.
Some of you have still not bound your own dweller-on-the-threshold. Some of you have not bound the negative energies that rise up from the astral levels of your being. Thus, if you do not obey the rule “Let not the sun go down upon your wrath,” <5> your dweller-on-the-threshold may go out and prowl at night, for you have no ability whatsoever to restrain that one who is the Mr. Hyde of your being. For you have not submitted yourself to your Holy Christ Self, thereby guarding the bastions of your consciousness. And this can become a tragedy that engenders immense evil.
For if one cannot control the various elements of the four quadrants of one’s being, the door remains open whereby at any time the dweller-on-the-threshold may make its presence known and move against the sacredness of the soul.
Messenger’s commentary:
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
by Robert Louis Stevenson
Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde portrays the downfall of Dr. Jekyll, a good man who could not come to terms with his dweller-on-the-threshold. He craved perfection and his pride blinded him to Paul’s teaching that “we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God.” <6>
The picture Jekyll paints of himself reveals a man loathe to wear the garments of humility: “I was born to a large fortune, endowed besides with excellent parts, . . . fond of the respect of the wise and good among my fellowmen.” He harbored an “impatient gaiety of disposition,” which conflicted with an “imperious desire to carry [his] head high, and wear a more than commonly grave countenance before the public.”
The years wore on and eventually he found that he was “committed to a profound duplicity of life.” Although others would have accepted and even been proud of the irregularities he was guilty of, he had set himself such high standards that he “regarded and hid [his irregularities] with an almost morbid sense of shame.” He simply could not live with the evil that lurked within him.
He became painfully conscious of his dweller as a separate entity exerting pressure upon his soul and craving expression. Jekyll explains:
And it chanced that the direction of my scientific studies, which led wholly towards the mystic and transcendental, reacted and shed a strong light on this consciousness of the perennial war among my members. With every day, I thus drew nearer to that truth...that man is not truly one, but truly two. . . . And I hazard the guess that man will be ultimately known for a mere policy of multifarious, incongruous and independent denizens.
So Jekyll came face to face with his dweller as a legion of entities. His revulsion at having to live in such close proximity to them--and his karma--hounded him day after day. And then a grand scheme suggested itself:
I had learned to dwell with pleasure, as a beloved daydream, on the thought of the separation of these elements. If each, I told myself, could but be housed in separate identities, life would be relieved of all that was unbearable; the unjust might go his way, delivered from the aspirations and remorse of his more upright twin; and the just could walk steadfastly and securely on his upward path, doing the good things in which he found his pleasure, and no longer exposed to disgrace and penitence by the hands of this extraneous evil. It was the curse of mankind that these incongruous faggots were bound together--that in the agonized womb of consciousness, these polar twins should be continuously struggling.
Jekyll had swallowed the lie that the evil part of himself had as much a right to exist as the good. He wrongly concluded that the struggle between good and evil within him was part of God’s plan and that he would be doomed to suffer it forever. He did not understand that it is indeed possible to escape the grip of the toiler. Instead of conquering the evil, he was duped by the interplay of human good and evil and thus became stuck in the mists of maya. Rather than emulate the victorious saints, who also had to grapple with their karma and fend off the onslaughts of Absolute Evil, he chose the path of self-indulgence, indulging his lesser self.
In order to curtail the struggle between his polar twins, Jekyll compounded a mixture of chemicals into a potion that could completely change his personality and its appearance. This would dethrone his spiritual powers of good “from their supremacy” and substitute “a second form and countenance . . . none the less natural to [him] because they were the expression, and bore the stamp, of lower elements in [his] soul.”
After quaffing the first draught, says Jekyll,
I knew myself, at the first breath of this life, to be more wicked, tenfold more wicked, sold a slave to my original evil; and the thought, in that moment, braced and delighted me like wine. . . .The evil side of my nature...was less robust and less developed than the good which I had just deposed. . . .In the course of my life, which had been, after all, nine-tenths a life of effort, virtue and control, it had been much less exercised. . . . When I wore the semblance of Edward Hyde, none could come near me at first without a visible misgiving of the flesh. This was . . .because all human beings, as we meet them are commingled out of good and evil: and Edward Hyde alone, in the ranks of mankind, was pure evil.
Thus Jekyll had succeeded in his purpose, but there remained one catch: “I now had two characters as well as two appearances, one was wholly evil, and the other was still the old Henry Jekyll, that incongruous compound of whose reformation and improvement I had already learned to despair. The movement was thus wholly toward the worse.”
Take care, then, that you not fall into the trap of thinking that you can indulge your dweller and just let the results fall into the “forgettery” of the electronic belt, tucked safely away--out of sight, out of mind. While your dweller plays, your soul becomes prey to its magnetism and is drawn inexorably down, down, down until she takes a stand against that insatiable fiendish parasite. Every bit of your dweller’s energy bears the stamp of your soul’s identity. And your soul must ultimately pay all of her bills. Paul exhorts us:
|
|
Let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For every man shall bear his own burden. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Galatians 6:4, 5; 7-9 |
Jekyll carried on for a long time, transforming himself into the loathsome creature, Edward Hyde, only to restore himself to the good doctor after each period of debauchery. But after one of these misadventures, while dozing, the retransformed Jekyll’s eye rested upon his hand. He reports:
Now, the hand of Henry Jekyll. . . was professional in shape and size; it was large, firm, white and comely. But the hand which I now saw, clearly enough in the yellow light of a mid-London morning, lying half shut on the bedclothes, was lean, corded, knuckly, of a dusky pallor and thickly shaded with a swart growth of hair. It was the hand of Edward Hyde.
I must have stared upon it for near half a minute, sunk as I was in the mere stupidity of wonder, before terror woke up in my breast as sudden and startling as the crash of cymbals; and bounding from bed, I rushed to the mirror. At the sight that met my eyes, my blood was changed into something exquisitely thin and icy. Yes, I had gone to bed Henry Jekyll, I had awakened Edward Hyde. . . .
That part of me which I had the power of projecting had lately been much exercised and nourished. . . . If this were much prolonged, the balance of my nature might be permanently overthrown, the power of voluntary change be forfeited, and the character of Edward Hyde become irrevocably mine.
Mark Prophet often quipped, “The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.” Jekyll had so strongly formed the habit of exercising his dweller that he was effectively buried in its momentums. He had tilted his world toward evil and now the pendulum of his consciousness was so strongly attracted to its lair that his home base had changed sides. Now he would have to work hard to retrieve his Godly nature.
In his lecture on momentum, Mark Prophet explains Jesus’ teaching on this syndrome:
“Unto him that hath shall more be added and from him that hath not shall be taken away even that he hath.” <7>
If you don’t put the plus factor of God in your life, what are you putting in? If you eliminate the plus factor of the Creator and his purposes and his will from your life, what are you eliminating but the plus factor you need in order to multiply your own momentums? And then you’re a have-not and you’ve got a momentum on being a have-not and every day you have less and less. <8>
Shocked into a semblance of reality by this turn of events, Jekyll sternly resolved to live an upright life. For two months he “bade a resolute farewell to the liberty, the comparative youth, the light step, leaping pulses and secret pleasures that I had enjoyed in the disguise of Hyde.”
But then the monkey jumped onto his back again. “I began to be tortured with throes and longings, as of Hyde struggling after freedom; and at last, in an hour of moral weakness, I once again compounded and swallowed the transforming draught.” He explains this remission by confessing, “I had voluntarily stripped myself of all those balancing instincts by which even the worst of us continues to walk with some degree of steadiness among temptations; and in my case, to be tempted, however slightly, was to fall.”
Disgusted with the crimes Hyde subsequently committed, Jekyll once again “resolved in my future conduct to redeem the past.” He was successful for a time, but
I was still cursed with my duality of purpose; and as the first edge of my penitence wore off, the lower side of me, so long indulged, so recently chained down, began to growl for license. Not that I dreamed of resuscitating Hyde; the bare idea of that would startle me to frenzy; no, it was in my own person that I was once more tempted to trifle with my conscience; and it was as an ordinary secret sinner that I at last fell before the assaults of temptation. . . and this brief condescension to my evil finally destroyed the balance of my soul.
It happened on a pleasant sunny day while Jekyll was sitting on a park bench. He was being assailed by Hyde, but was not moved to indulge him. He reflected that he was still a good man, like his neighbors.
And then I smiled, comparing my active goodwill with the lazy cruelty of their neglect. And at the very moment of that vainglorious thought, a qualm came over me, a horrid nausea and the most deadly shuddering.
The good Jekyll had once again, “involuntarily” turned into the beast, Edward Hyde. All it took was a tinge of prideful thought and down he went, so great was his investment in evil by that time. He was revolted by his plight:
He thought of Hyde, for all his energy of life, as of something not only hellish but inorganic. This was the shocking thing; that the slime of the pit seemed to utter cries and voices; that the amorphous dust gesticulated and sinned; that what was dead and had no shape, should usurp the office of life.
However, now one of the components of his potion had run out. But the original supply of this component contained an unknown impurity that turned out to be the needed active ingredient. And this ingredient was no longer to be found anywhere in or around London. So he could no longer reproduce the original formula.
The good Dr. Jekyll was doomed to live out the remainder of his days as his own nemesis, subject to the apelike spite and murderous craving of Edward Hyde.
As I am in silence, I am surveying levels and compartments of your beings, your chakras, your lifestreams. You cannot withhold anything from me, beloved, for I am your Lord and I see all things.
You Must Accelerate Now
I repeat: If the Great White Brotherhood were not determined, for very serious reasons, to accelerate your path to higher levels of consciousness, ultimately leading to your ascension, I would not be speaking to you on this subject.
The reality is that unknown forces permeate the world and your position ought not be taken for granted. The door of opportunity is ajar, but one day it will shut. Today you have the sponsorship of an embodied Messenger, who keenly senses the individual needs of this Community as well as the needs of the servants of God in other churches and organizations.
And so I have instructed the Messenger to give advanced training to those who have balanced 51 percent of their karma that they might realize how easy it is for a chela on the Path or anyone to lose ground in a moment of thoughtlessness--of nonthinking, of doing too many things at once. All of these things count, beloved, in the ledger of life, and they determine whether you will be in the black or in the red.
Therefore, we will begin to give certain lessons to you who would balance 100 percent of your karma. Otherwise, you shall be as blind men, not knowing which way to turn, not knowing which way is up, not knowing how to internalize the magnificence of your Christhood.
This is no longer something you can toy with. Sons and daughters of God, making your ascension is a very serious matter.
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.I Corinthians 3:12-15
Yes, you shall be tried by fire, but you shall also become the living fire. You will be accelerated. You will descend to the depths of hell with me for three days and three nights, and you will return to the levels of higher consciousness in the heaven-world.
Challenge the Fallen Angels
It is a fearsome experience to be in the depths of despair and at the same time to confront the fallen angels who are confined to outer darkness, an experience not unlike that of the Lord Gautama when he was challenged by the demon Mara. Indeed, you must be prepared to enter the depths of the astral plane, to prove that, come what may, you will not be moved, you will be God-centered. And if a heavy burden descends, you will remember my words: “What is that to thee? Follow thou me.” <9>
Say those words with the power of God and remember to do so every day. For the saying “What is that to thee? Follow thou me!” imparts a tremendous power to all who will faithfully use it. Therefore, when you are beset by anger or argumentation or accusation, forget it! Don’t even think about it. Cast it into the violet flame. Follow the living Christ, who has taken up his abode within you. Taking action is a major key to your victory, beloved, and some have failed because they have not used it.
Always remember that many of you have come from the God Star and that many of you shall return to the God Star. Some of you have had stopovers on Mercury, Venus, Mars and even what is now the asteroid belt on your way to the Great Central Sun. And along that way you have met many challenges and you will continue to do so. You have read about these challenges in a number of books that have been written in this and the last century about those who attained adeptship because they were focused, centered and had the mastery of the flame of Divine Love.
Divine Love intensifies itself from within. And when it is intensified, it becomes a chalice of the ruby ray. When you have Divine Love, no one can take from you the love you have for God and for his indwelling Presence.
Dig Deeply During Darshan
As you participate with the Messenger in darshan, dig deeply. Go after the little things that have tripped you up lifetime after lifetime. And never look back, but look to the God Star, that starlight of Sirius.
Now, I ask you to pause for a moment to consider what you believe to be the greatest stumbling block on your path, the one major block to your getting beyond yourself to your victory. Ponder this now. And when you have selected that element in yourself that represents the worst of yourself, I will work with you to transmute it. I give you these moments of peace from the Elohim of Peace that you might make a number of inner resolutions. [55-second pause]
Now, I say to all of you: Call for the encirclement of the boulder of your pride. You may think you do not have pride, but most chelas retain pride as the last element of the dweller-on-the-threshold to go into the flame unless they have sustained their humility for many lifetimes, which is true of a number of you gathered here. Pride and anger go hand in hand. Where there is no pride, anger too is extinguished.
Angels of the Sixth Ray Attend You
Angels of the Sixth Ray draw nigh. They attend you. Each of them is your teacher. And they sit down next to you now, and there is an inner private communion between you and that angel. If your heart is heavy, if you are burdened, if you have fears for the future, listen now to his words to you. Listen carefully to what he tells you about the future and how you may accelerate.
[24-second pause]
This is not a time to stop your ears but to open them. Yes, open your ears and be willing to hear the truth about yourself that the angels tell you. Accept what your angel brings to you so lovingly. Be willing to admit the wrongs you have committed and be willing to right them.
I am speaking to you in this wise so that you will understand that, ultimately, to attain union with God you must commune with angels. And you must be able to hear the profound voice of your inner being. You must be able to walk and talk with me on the road to Emmaus without someone outside of yourself coming along and giving you a correct, or an incorrect, profile of yourself.
It is time that you understood that if you are to make your ascension in this life, you must be able to hear the voice of God and, in hearing that voice, to live forever.
See now how you have the need for deep meditation, for establishing deep connections with your Holy Christ Self and for calling forth the resurrection flame, which resurrects the elements of your soul that you have burdened and that are burdened to this day.
Unerring Guidance from the Messenger
As you know, the soul is not immortal but must gain her immortality through oneness with her Holy Christ Self. Perhaps you would do well to ask for guidance from the Messenger, for you may not at first hear the words of your Holy Christ Self from within. But knowing the way to go, as assessed by me and spoken through her, you may have unerring guidance. Treasure the open door of her heart.
My beloved Martha has been with me much longer than two thousand years. <10> Therefore trust, trust in the faith that has kept her on this path for you and for all lightbearers. You would do well to embrace her momentum of faith and conviction in the outcome of absolute God-Victory, no matter how dark the planetary home seems.
Mend the Holes in Your Seamless Garment
Go back to the fragmented parts. All these you must retrieve if you would weave the deathless solar body, the seamless garment. If you have holes in your garment, you must sew them up. You must seal your garment until the soul is satisfied and filled with light and filled again and again, until the soul moves gently upward to the place of the Holy Christ Self, until she becomes the Bride of her Holy Christ Self and then my Bride.
Thus, mend the flaws. But how can you mend them if you have not identified them or if you have made the flaws your own?
Soul Retrieval
And so you are weaving the seamless garment. But if you do not keep it smooth and straight, you may lose soul fragments. This is why the Messenger is giving the ritual of soul retrieval this evening. It is to remagnetize lost fragments of the soul through your heart chakra so that those fragments might once again come together as one whole.
Do you see how complicated living in this vast cosmos can be? For instance, when aliens have moved in the earth and when they have had the opportunity, they have stolen fragments of selfhood from you. Some of the fragments that evil ones have taken from you have wound up on the other side of cosmos, and you have had to take long journeys to find them.
Can you imagine your soul being able to attain union with your Holy Christ Self while she is in the fragmented state? It is not possible. For your soul to come into her wholeness, the fragments of being must be reassembled and then sealed until there are no marks where her fragmentation once was.
What happens, then, if you do not have a momentum on balancing and expanding the threefold flame or of having a replica of the Great Central Sun Magnet positioned over and in your heart chakra? What happens if you have not developed the heart chakra by having given love and love again?
What will happen is that you will once again lose the fragments you have gathered, for the magnet of your heart will not be strong enough to draw those fragments back to your heart.
This is why we have counseled you to embrace love, why we have counseled you to embrace compassion, why we have counseled you to embrace all facets of the magnanimous heart of the Ascended Masters. And it is Lord Maitreya who comes with that ultimate compassion.
You see, beloved, you must re-create your sun center so that love can pour through you as gentle pink tones, as the aurora of the dawn, as the ruby-ray fire, which is also focused in the ruby stone that is taken from the earth. And if it is your heart that is injured when you are angry, then what will become of you? Well, you will have to start all over again, for it is the law.
Is it not worthwhile, then, to commune with angels who will teach you, once and for all, how to be whole and how to retain that wholeness? This you can do because you are greater than all that is anti-love.
Let the Chords of Your Being Echo Across the Starways
Thus, study Kabbalah, for it gives you a profound understanding of the components of self as the tree of life. Yes, the parts of oneself must become one whole. And that whole must be made up of the chords of your own being--what you have developed in the mind, what you have developed at unconscious levels--so that by and by, the music of the spheres that comes forth from your Great Causal Body can be heard again and again across the starways.
Come home to my heart, ye who are bruised. Come home to my heart. I will not whip you. I will not beat you. I will not condemn you. I will show you the way out of the labyrinth that you have created for yourself.
Seek Your Living Guru
I will show you that you need the living Christ, that you need the patterns that are in the heavens to be made manifest as the patterns in the earth. For surely you can all understand that in the process of attaining the ascension, you are perfecting those patterns in the earth and ultimately you are perfecting your way of bringing them back to their original mold of perfection.
Blessed ones, there are many religious people in the world who are devout, whatever their religious affiliations. But do you know, beloved, that they find it very difficult to balance their karma beyond the 45 percent mark: They are stymied because they do not have the Guru.
Over the past weeks, as the Messenger has observed souls she has known around the world, souls that she has been acquainted with, she has realized why these souls must reembody again, even though they have been great achievers and have helped large segments of humanity. It is because they have not called back the fragments of their souls. They have not clothed their souls in the fiery white light of their wedding garment.
Let us find a way, then, for the Messenger to bring this teaching of the balancing of karma and the acceleration of the ascension to millions. Let us find ways and means--as the Messenger stumps, as you also go forth stumping, as you stump the whole world--to give to all people the profound understanding that they need a living Guru to take them where they must go.
Accept Your Teacher
Remember this, beloved. It is my most important statement to you in my address this day: Accept your Teacher. If you do not like that Teacher, that Teacher will love you anyway. If you do not like this Messenger, the Messenger will love you ten thousand times ten thousand. The Messenger will not stop loving you, beloved.
Will you not take her hand, I ask you?
[Congregation responds: “Yes.”]
Your Messenger knows that she descended for a reason--for the judgment of the fallen angels who would not turn back to God and to find every soul of light whose time has come for this great, great victory.
I say to you who are here and to you who hear me over this patch, your opportunity is very great. Your opportunity is here. It is best that you vanquish error in your being. Get beyond the forties. Get beyond the fifties. And realize what a stamp you can make on your civilization and how much you can turn around and give to the world if you actually balance the full 100 percent of your karma.
What a victory, beloved! How many will be caught up in the great seamless garment as you spiral upward with your father Enoch, with great beings of light like Elijah, Elisha--John the Baptist and my own being. <11>
For Deep-Rooted Reasons Your Soul Must Have Her Victory Now
Know, then, beloved, as I say again, that there are deep-rooted reasons why your soul must have her victory now. If that is the case--and it is--then support one another in your weaknesses, in those moments when you may be about to lose all because you have not been able to stand against the dark ones and their railing against you.
Love one another as I have loved you. Receive the joy of my heart. Bond together, beloved. Bond with those whom you might not have thought of bonding with because perhaps they are different from you. But know that all have a heart. Amongst the sons and daughters of God, all have a soul, all have a mind. You may come from other corners of the galaxies, but you are not so different that you cannot come together and show a oneness to the earth.
The time is short. Many of you have been trained in this organization for upwards of thirty-five years. You are the ones who know. You are the ones who are trained. You are the ones who have the empowerment of the science of the spoken Word.
This day I, your Jesus, come in the fullness of the Spirit of the Resurrection. I come to resurrect in each of you all that is beautiful, all that is sweet, all that is your empowerment from God, your empowerment that is there for the taking if you will fear not.
“Fear not, little flock; for it is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” <12> For that kingdom is all, and not just part, of the consciousness of God. You see, God gives you the allness of himself. Sometimes, as you ponder these things, it seems almost impossible that you could contain all of God and that God could contain all of you. But this is exactly so. This is the path of mysticism. This is the path of your soul’s divine union with God. This is the path of your soul’s profound inner loving of the God who dwells within you.
You know you can become that loving God to all if you will turn your back on your dweller today. Therefore do it, beloved. Not only do I urge you to do it but I implore you to do it. For your future may depend upon it.
If it were not an urgent matter, I would not have spoken on it. But I do speak upon it because some of you, whether nonbelievers or simply a bit dense, have not taken the opportunity over hundreds and thousands of years to accelerate to the place where you could have the Resurrection Spirit raising you to the fullness of your ascension.
I fear for you who have not tied into the deep things of God. Yes, I fear for you, beloved, and you ought to fear for yourselves, especially when you are not in God-control. For I say to myself, how will these souls who have walked a journey of ten thousand miles and more without pondering these things now condense what they must do to have their victory in such a short, short time?
All of you can have your victory in this life, unless you have unpaid debts left over from a past life that require you to reincarnate. Thus I pray that you will consider carefully how you will deal with the rest of your life day by day and hour by hour, how you will make such a contribution to the Ascended Masters and the Great White Brotherhood that you yourself may once again know an empowerment from God. For such is the will of God for you.
I charge you this day to remember my words, to think on me and to call to me that I might indeed place a replica of my Electronic Presence over you.
Let us all become brothers and sisters. Let us do it, beloved. This is the hour of your victory. And if you have your victory, the planet will also have hers. Is that a deal?
I seal you in the Holy Spirit of the Maha Chohan. I bless you and I call you home, nevermore to go out.
[8-second standing ovation]
