Lanello’s Ascension Day Address
The Office of the Messenger
Part 2
It is not, then, the karma or the dharma of the Messenger to organize or spread abroad the books, but it is the dispensation and the dharma of the Messenger to teach, to write and to heal. These three, then, must be the all-consuming life of the Messenger--to teach, to write and to heal.
While this is carried on, the diligent ones will carry the very important weight of responsibility and fastidiousness to detail of legal matters, financial matters and the very matter of establishing this headquarters in Los Angeles. Taking the Messenger’s energies for these matters is an excruciating experience and I will tell you why.
The Messenger’s mission is in the etheric octave; in that octave, she lives. To descend to the plane of the mental body, the emotional body or the physical body is definitely painful. I can tell you this from my own experience in the final years of my life and even as I live in the body of this Messenger today.
Therefore, you see, to bring forth the light of the teachings of the Ascended Masters, to anchor them through the sacred fire, through the etheric body, is the mission of the Messenger. To those who have the capacity at the mental level is given the opportunity to organize the teachings, to codify them, to prepare them for publication and to surround the Messenger with an open door to all of the necessary avenues for the fulfillment of the Word.
If the Messenger is allowed to fulfill the next cycle and if you fulfill your part, then the world will have the necessary teaching for this two-thousand-year dispensation and beyond sealed in its archives. Think of this. It behooves all who hear my words to consider, how can I do the job that was formerly done by the Messenger? What can I do to play my part so that she is free to live in the etheric octave?
There is a major adjustment of consciousness, of the chakras and the energies of the chakras, each time the Messenger must step down to the mental plane of problem solving. To step back up again sometimes requires twenty-four to forty-eight hours.
You may wonder why the Messenger does not go suddenly from the realm of problem solving to dictating in the office. It is because of this. The dictating of the books and the materials that must come forth depends on that oneness and that steady consciousness.
Without question, she has the physical capacity to sustain that momentum, for she has proven it in the past. But I can tell you that when you stand upon Horeb’s height, <1>upon Mount Sinai, to receive the commandments of the Lord and you hear the cries and the concerns of the children of Israel, and their betrayals and their depressions and their arguments and their gossip echo up the side of the mountain, in your heart, as a Messenger, you are torn.
You are concerned. You say to yourself, “Will they survive for the period of my going within? Will they survive for the time it takes me to receive the Word, to write it down and to come down from the mountain?”
A Test
This past summer we gave the staff and the student body a test to see whether they could accomplish a mighty work in her absence. We sent her in retreat with Lord Maitreya for the dictating of the most magnificent teachings, so needed by the people of earth. The test proved to be the dividing of the way--the strong became stronger and the weak fell apart and were no more in the company.
This has been a great burden on the heart of Elizabeth, for she is concerned that if she should take her leave, in her absence the weak ones might not make it on the Path. I speak, then, to those of you who are the strong ones, the appointed and anointed shepherds in the midst. You cannot keep your light from these little ones; you must share yourselves, as we have shared ourselves over the years, so that you keep that flame burning in the hours and moments of trepidation.
You see, then, even the withdrawal while [remaining] in the physical octave, is fraught with danger to some on the Path. We must weigh all of this. We must look at the evolutions who are coming, the souls of light who are embodying. We must look at you who are the strong and say, “You will need the strong meat of the Word for your own overcoming. Who will give it to you if we do not? Who will set it forth if we do not?”
Therefore, as Morya has said, “Let the chips fall where they may.” Let the chelas who will stay, who will tarry while the bride and bridegroom are in their chamber, be the ones who rejoice when they emerge with the love potion that is the teaching for the Aquarian age.
I speak to you who are the beloved of my heart. I know that you desire this teaching and yet I must ask you, Do you want it enough to bear the adversity that will come because sometimes you will have to stand alone and alone with each other?
Can you take the vision from my third eye that I extend to you in a very intense action in this moment? Can you take my vision and Morya’s vision of the future of this activity? Can you take that vision, then, and not count the hours of sacrifice or of waiting--waiting for that teaching to be delivered in its perfected form? [”Yes!”]
An Initiation of the Third Eye
I thank you and I pause now to give you a certain initiation of the third eye. This initiation is for the removal of skeins and veils of selfishness that cover the eye. I ask you to give seriously the invocation of the Mother for the overcoming of the misuses of the third-eye chakra, for you see, when you have the vision of the victory, you are unflinching and you remove yourself from the pettiness of argument, self-concern or justification of the behavior patterns in which you may engage.
The very necessary action, then, of the clearing of the opposition to the third eye must precede an increase in the opening of the heart chakra. The energies of the heart chakra are very powerful and we cannot expand the heart chakra when you still have untransmuted substance of the third eye, for they work hand in hand. In fact, if you allow any of your chakras to be laggards in the race for the victory, you are hindering the expansion of the flame of the heart.
Understand, then, as I pass to you the energies of my being, that I will and I can come to you through the Mother to initiate you and to clear you and to work with the Summit University students in their own clearances. But I must tell you now, the burden our Messenger has borne by taking on the energies of the Summit University students can no longer be borne by her. She is carrying the maximum weight of world karma and karma of the students.
Summit University Clearances
Morya and I have noted in many instances that those who have come forth to be cleared at Summit University have given their misqualified energies to the Mother, taken her light and gone forth with her light on a new spree of enjoyment of the things of this life.
They have allowed their old ways to return, even those that were consumed in the sacred fire, and have recreated them, allowing those old patterns to come again to envelop them. So we have said in deliberation with the Lords of Karma, “Let the Summit University students, with joy in overcoming, perform their own clearances. Let them be relieved of that weight of misqualified energy by their own individual attainment.”
The Lord Buddha and the Lords of Karma cannot sponsor the Mother taking upon herself these energies because of the number of individuals who have misused the light. The light that is given to each chela in our university is the very light of the Body and Blood of the Messenger unascended and the Messenger ascended. It is the literal transfer of our life to you.
Some have taken that life and then have turned around and used it against our embodied self. They have taken that large increment of fire so generously and abundantly given and qualified it with hatred of the Messenger, condemnation, gossip and all types of lies spoken in the very midst of their own astral creation.
These, then, have wielded enormous energies against the Messenger; for, you see, they wielded the Messenger’s own energy, and until that energy ran out they qualified it with a full fury of hatred, as they had within them the energy, even the momentum of light of the teacher.
You see, then, why the Masters of the Himalayas go into retreat and into the caves, why they leave their bodies for extended periods and allow only a few chosen chelas to surround them in a given lifetime. It is because they are endowing and investing their chelas with their very life.
They know that the power conveyed is a power that also may be misqualified and misused against their very office and position, and so they put their chelas through a very intense period of proving the self. Many times chelas must prove for years that they are worthy of the teacher and the teaching.
Here in the outer dispensation, then, the students of Summit University come directly from the world, from every phase of life and living to sit in the very presence of the Ascended Masters, to receive directly our ascended momentum and consciousness. We must, then, extend our hand of protection to our very life in this octave.
We must inform those of you who do not realize it that our embodied Messenger has the attainment of many of the Masters of the Himalayas who long ago left the midst of the cities and the multitudes for this very reason. We must, you must, then, shelter this aura and this forcefield so that it can be the instrument to give you the teaching and healing.
Our Lectures Are Given in the Retreats
It is, then, the responsibility of the Ascended Masters with their unascended chelas to determine what will happen to the office of the Messenger, the body of the Messenger, the life and opportunity of the Messenger to continue to be that Messenger.
I would like you to know that there are beings newly ascended and some who have been ascended for a number of decades, angel devas, elementals and servants of the Buddha who are chelas at Shamballa, who come to attend the lectures given at Summit University. [This is] because the teaching and the lectures transcend the octaves and are literally teachings given forth simultaneously by the Messengers in the retreats of the Great White Brotherhood to newly Ascended Masters, for it is training that they have not had prior to their ascension. It is teaching on our agenda that has also been taught by Ascended Masters to newly ascended beings.
Therefore, you who are in this octave and who are unascended are actually attending class with Ascended Masters who are just as eager and ready to hear the teaching as you are. Perhaps you have not realized or known that such a dispensation was present. Well, I tell you about it so that you can see the great love of the Lord of the World and the Cosmic Council, who are determined that mankind should have every opportunity for salvation and who are determined that this teaching should be set forth.
Now, then, when you think of this eagerness of Ascended Masters, can you who come from the world as newly appointed chelas not match the eagerness of the Ascended Masters with the God-determination in your own life to publish abroad this teaching, to make it available to many, many more who ought to be candidates for the ascension in your very midst?
We are spanning the octaves by the figure eight of the Buddha and the Mother! We are making all life one so that soon there will be no distinction between Spirit and Matter and more and more people will see the Masters, will see the angelic hosts and will have the opportunity for personal contact with them.
I Will Come to the Clearances
I will come personally, as I do many a day to Summit University to perform a general and a group clearance of all students. It will be according to the dispensation of the Lords of Karma that replaces the former procedure of the individual clearance. It will be the opportunity, extended by the Lords of Karma through the Messengers, to set aside misqualified substance so that you can go forth into the world with a flame of mastery to prove the teaching and thereby transmute the energy that was set aside.
You will have the sense of being cleared and a certain action of being cleared, but the Messenger will not take on that energy or give you that light--that very blood of the Messenger--until a number of years and cycles have passed and, according to the dispensations of the Himalayan Masters, you can be taken on as a very personal component of the body of the Messenger on earth.
Let all, then, who in these years have received so freely and liberally of the teachings and the energies of the Ascended Masters realize that this amazing acceleration of transfer of light is largely dependent upon the aura of the Messenger, expanded to include your aura and thereby sustaining in you attainment that you do not necessarily have.
Now then you see, when the aura of the Messenger is withdrawn, either to another continent or to another octave through the ascension, those who are left behind often return to their former state--that is if they do not catch the descent of the Holy Spirit. You see, then, we would like you to have a much more realistic assessment of your life and your ability and your place on the ladder.
This is not to say that many of you do not have attainment and position in Hierarchy, but it is to say that all must realize what that position is and thereby go from there to accelerate by the expansion of the heart within.
Take upon Yourself a Morsel of World Karma
Now, then, I must ask you on this occasion of my ascension anniversary to take upon yourself a morsel, a crumb, of the energy and the momentum of the world karma that our Messenger has borne that the Messenger may receive the rejuvenation, the regeneration and the resurrection fires for this new cycle and dispensation.
Those of you who accept the opportunity to bear this increment of energy will find in bearing it that it will push out of your four lower bodies a certain amount of misqualified substance manifesting as toxins in the physical body, rebellion in the mental body, sluggishness from the etheric body and a certain amount of emotional energy from the feeling body.
I tell you this so that you can deal with it, put it into the flame and keep vigilant day by day. This increment is not something you cannot bear but is something you will have to brace yourselves to bear. In that little transfer of substance there will be, then, new opportunity for life [for the Messenger] for acceleration and for the carrying off of those projects, dictations and writings for which you have waited.
I ask you all to realize that we are grateful when you refrain from condemnation of our Messenger for duties you perhaps think ought to be performed. For that little grain of condemnation is pressed down upon the cross of world karma that she bears already, and it is because of that cross that sometimes you do not have all you think you should have of the presence of the Mother.
Now, then, if you will share just a small portion of that burden, you will need to make an adjustment whereby you come to grips with your daily tasks and your work, for you will not find it as easy to accomplish your work as it has was before. Within a week, however, you will make the necessary adjustment and will find that you will be functioning as well as ever.
I can assure you that we have much information at inner levels concerning these matters, which we will not release, for, you see, these dictations often come into the hands of some who would take delight in the fall of the Messenger or the removal of the Messenger. Therefore I will say to you that it is because of the information we have at hand concerning this dispensation that we extend to you the opportunity to bear a portion of that weight.
Now, then, the occasion of the ascension of the Messenger is the occasion for rejoicing for all, for, you see, when you follow in the footsteps of the Messenger, you must also go up as the Messenger goes up. My ascension, then, is your ascension, and your entering in to the white-fire core of the Mother brings you closer to the action of the secret rays in your own Causal Body.
I bring my dictation to a close, for I have accomplished the purpose for which I came, and the hour is late. I have come to you in love and in the love of our heart. I have come to say thank you for making this world a place to which we could continue to send souls of light.
Precious ones, keep on keeping on, for your victories are many and are unseen by you. The whole world is moving toward the heart of the Holy Spirit because you have stood fast, because you are standing for that flame.
I love you and I will see you again in the morning.
“The Summit Lighthouse Sheds Its Radiance o’er All the World to Manifest as Pearls of Wisdom.”
