To Keep the Light of a World
Tenth Anniversary of Lanello’s Ascension
I am reminded of the first vow of holy angels sent by God to be teachers of his children newborn. I am reminded of other vows taken and also of other vows broken. For those holy Watchers who lost their first estate did so by the breaking of the trust of the office of World Teacher. Therefore it remained for the Son of God to descend even to the lowly estate of the flesh, there to redeem that which had been lost by the betrayal of those who were to be the guardians of the flame of the I AM Race.
This very flame you hold is ever the symbol of the flame of the heart. <1> And because the flame of the heart of Gautama and his Messengers on earth still burns with the intensity of love, so the angels of God who have not lost their first estate may descend to the level of the Keeper of the Flame; for the flame is God, and where God is, there the angels may dwell.
A Single Flame for an Entire Lifewave
See, then, how the neglect of the flame on the part of some among mankind resulted in a planetary blackout and therefore the loss of opportunity for the light from on high to descend. I came, beloved, because the geometry of my own Causal Body and the fire aglow in my heart measured sufficient to be the single flame on behalf of the entire lifewave. This flame would keep the life of all.
Are you ready for the moment when the single fire of your heart will be called upon to keep the light of a world? [”Yes.”]
Have you ever contemplated such a mission and a calling?
Beloved ones, beloved ones, realize that this requires many, many cycles of the internalization of the Word. Some among you can scarcely maintain the light for one temple--your own. Some of you yet need the reinforcement of the thread of light from Gautama Buddha to keep your own flame burning bright in the presence of personal karma; and when that karma becomes too burdensome, it is necessary that another in embodiment keep that flame for you.
This is the understanding and the purpose of the incarnate Word, for some have increased so many layers of darkness in the planes of being that that which they are able to draw forth as threefold flame is not adequate to sustain life.
The Equation of the Light of the Heart
Why, then, do individuals pass from the screen of life in the process called death?
It has to do with this equation, beloved, of the light of the heart and of the karma itself. Then, of course, you must realize that those who abandoned their holy vows of heaven descended to cohabitate with the daughters of men, in the pride of the eye and the lust thereof, to create their own race. These individuals took this very candle and turned it upside down as in a black mass that denies the Holy One of God, the Vicar of Christ, the true representative of Christ.
Therefore, abandoning the calling of the Cosmic Christ, they took upon themselves their own ways and willfulness and became a law unto themselves. Theirs was the trust of a mighty threefold flame; therefore they have continued long millennia to misqualify the light that was originally theirs. That which falls from great heights falls greatly, and the misuse of that light has cost the earth dearly. Let us see, then, the raising of this torch once again.
The Judgment of the Watchers
Understand, beloved, that I add to the dispensation passed through the Great Divine Director, this one from beloved Alpha, <2> that in this hour is the judgment of the Watchers and their seed in this wise: As of this moment they are stripped of the remainder of the flame they once had and of every and all momentums of the misuse of that flame through the ages, and the remaining potential for its misuse. Therefore the Watchers and their seed shall be reduced. And they shall no longer carry the momentum of their misqualified energy to terrorize the people of earth with their violence and their destruction and their war. Therefore, beloved, you see the hour of the true physical judgment of the Watchers and their offspring must be in the moment of the rising light of your heart and its increase.
We are satisfied in the Law under the jurisdiction and administration of our Messengers. We are satisfied in the transfer of the light of the hearts of the Messengers to your own. We are satisfied in these vessels that contain the transfer of the flame of Gautama Buddha.
Let no man or woman tarry in the outer court of the temple where the rod measures the Gentile generations. <3> For those who are in the outer court at a safe distance from the sacred fire of the ark of the covenant are not so safe. For when they remove themselves bodily from this communion of the flame, they then become a part of the judgment of the nations of the earth, even the nations of the Watcher generation.
The Torch of Illumination Is Seized from the Fallen Ones!
O flame of light, O flame of illumination’s light, illumine the dark night in the place of those who abandoned the role of the teacher of the sons and daughters of the Most High in embodiment!
In their stead, angels of illumination now descend to earth who will carry with those in embodiment the torch of the World Teachers and of Maitreya--I AM THAT I AM Maitreya, I AM THAT I AM Maitreya. And the torch of illumination and that which they have sought to retain is seized from the fallen ones for evermore.
It is done. Their power is brought to naught. Though they continue to simulate their power, they have it not. Though they continue to mimic the divine, they are no longer considered of divine origin but are cut off.
The day of the Elect One is upon you and the day of the saints ten thousand who accompany him for the ritual promised in the beginning by the Father unto Enoch. For Enoch prophesied of these saying: “Behold the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his saints to execute judgment upon all.” <4>
Even so, I AM the Ancient of Days. I AM the one who was the instrument of that message to Enoch, and therefore I confirm it.
Although you have not the entire record in print, yet you have enough to know the gist of the ancient history of these ones, who could have by this hour elevated all root races of the earth into the state of Bodhisattva, of disciple embodying Christos. The world and the golden ages should have turned, the laggards either risen or fallen and all things should have come to pass through the Holy Kumaras by the hand of the Great Silent Watchers and their holy angels sent to earth.
The Holy Angels Abide in the Etheric Octave
Thus, beloved, at inner levels in the etheric octave where there burns the sacred fire, these holy angels who come as mankind’s teachers will abide. And in those instances where the hearts of single devotees burn with an adequate intensity, they will descend into the very physical orb of those individuals to assist them in teaching and preaching the Word.
Therefore, there shall come to pass the fulfillment of the prophecy: Mankind shall see their teachers face-to-face. <5>Face-to-face they will see the brilliant light of illumination. You may become transparencies for these angels of illumination and you may be the ones who are the forerunners of the stepping through the veil of the Ascended Masters. And as angels of illumination so illumine your temple when you speak, so souls of light will see and know that the era of the angels divine, pure and holy has come again to earth and the fallen angels are judged and bound.
So let the Law be implemented! So let the Law be fulfilled! So let the Law be one.
The Hour on the Cross
May you dwell evermore in the singleness of this flame of God. And may you realize that the hour does come when you will be required to function by the threefold flame that you have externalized in your heart, solely through that fire, not by the power of your Christ Self, not by the power of your I AM Presence but by the power of the externalized threefold flame.
Be grateful that this hour of the crucifixion is not upon you. For some require certain cycles for this preparation and as you have been told, the hour on the cross is the hour of the Dark Night of the Spirit when Jesus cried out, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” <6> For the light of the I AM Presence was withdrawn and the externalized Christhood and Christ flame of Jesus must then be the means of his overcoming victory, his resurrection and his ascension in the Light.
Now you understand why I asked you the question, Have you ever contemplated the calling to keep the single flame of your heart as the light for a world? Now you understand why you must consider whether the threefold flame in you is sufficient even unto your own initiation that lies before you.
Thus, you may see why many, many Masters of our Brotherhood plead before the Court of the Sacred Fire and before Alpha and Omega for the staying hand of the Lord, that the lightbearers themselves might have an extended portion of opportunity to externalize the light of the heart.
Trust, then. Trust in Christ. Trust in Buddha. Trust in your I AM Presence and be about your Father’s business of establishing the flame on the altar of being as a blazing sun. One-sixteenth of an inch high will not do for your initiation. Let it become eighteen inches in radius, proceeding out from your heart, and let it be a blazing sun unto all life!
It is so, beloved. This is the walk of initiation for the rugged individualist, if I might say, for the strong, for those who understand that they are not here merely to have their wounds licked by the violet flame. They are here that a God might be born. They are here for the fullness of the cup that he drank.
Except You Become the Christ
I AM the Ancient of Days. I have spent my light in earth and it has returned to me. Now, I demand the multiplication of that light, the fruit of the increase of my Tree of Life. Each one of you, that fruit, must come home even as you left our star, must come home the victors over Death and Hell as Jesus is and was. As my Son told you, “Except you become the Christ, you can in no wise enter in.” <7>
Be fruitful and multiply thy light, for all else is superfluity; all else is vanity. Let thy goings and thy comings, therefore, be for the increase of the flame.
Keepers of the Flame worthy of the name, be indeed worthy of the name I AM THAT I AM Sanat Kumara, Gautama Buddha, Maitreya and the name that no man knoweth save the Father. That new name shall be thine own in the hour of the ascent, in the hour of the victory, in the hour of the One and the sounding of the sound, the mighty sound of the Causal Body that has taken unto itself all of life sent forth--all of life sent forth to the farthest reaches of the darkest star to claim that lost soul, that one, for love.
You are indeed most gracious, most gracious, my beloved. And I bid you farewell for the moment. For the moment, farewell.
Messenger’s Closing Invocation:
In the name of the light of God that never fails, we return these flames to the heart of beloved Alpha, to the heart of beloved Omega. Keep also our hearts in thee and with thee pure and true, holy and noble, wise and humble, meek and diligent, striving and disciplined and loving.
Keep thou our flame, O God.
