The Feast of Saint Stephen
The Initiation of the Law of the One
Part 2
In the Matter sphere, our Messenger keeps the flame of light as spiritual teaching, as the exposure, the unveiling of good and evil. And all chelas of Maitreya, of Saint Germain and of the Chohans have the obligation, then, to translate that vigil from the Spirit sphere of Matter into the Matter sphere of Matter, thence to go forth from Camelot—north, south, east, and west.
Beloved ones, Alpha has told me that the extension of chelaship unto the nations who would be free is the only hope. This is your challenge. This must be your pursuit: to present the vigil of the flame of sacred fire and to translate it unto the evolutions of earth in your chosen field.
Beloved ones, you have heard this teaching. Hear it now as the formal announcement of the Cosmic Christ: If you would be the instrument of the salvation of the earth, you cannot have a mere smattering of the teaching and a few decrees and then hurry about in the business world, imagining that you do God service.
You must come for the empowerment of your flame and of your temple. You must rearrange yourself and be inconvenienced if you would have the power of God. Therefore does Alpha say: “Cease to look without this company for saviours in the economy, in the government, in education, in science or in the entire system of welfare in the community. Cease to look to those who say the right words, who are the good people of the earth but who do not have the tie to the All-power of God through the chain of the great Gurus of the age.”
Beloved ones, you must understand that the good people of earth have been crying out in outrage against the seed of the wicked, even though they have not known of that seed, for hundreds of thousands of years. The ones who have spoken to you—wonderful souls—have sounded the warning. But those who have conquered have been those who have been willing to become the Christ by the path of initiation.
Therefore, if you wait for saviours who do not come in the name of the Lord Saint, Jesus Christ, Mother Mary, Gautama Buddha, with the exclusion of none, you will be waiting for a salvation that will not come.
Cease to Look Outside Yourself
And so I say, in the name of my Father Gautama: Awake! Awake! Cease the idolatry that looks without, outside of yourself. There is the sleep, the sleep of meditation, imitating the great statues of the Buddha, not knowing of the cosmos inside of that statue of the Lord of the World, which is teeming with life in action, with cosmic consciousness, with God-government and all that is required.
O beloved, God! God! God in you is the key. Now cease to look to God in another, for you cannot control the free will of another. You can never be dependent upon the actions of another from moment unto moment, but you can depend upon God. And the God incarnate who is most dependable is the God who has become the chela and the chela who has become the God by the Law of the One, who has rested his life upon trust in the Messenger—the Guru beyond the Guru—and therefore has the open flow of a fountain of life.
Trust is the beginning of the Path.
Trust is the beginning of the Path.
Trust is the beginning of the Path. And this nation of “In God We Trust” is a nation that can only survive under the great Gurus, the Ascended Masters. Learn the lesson well. Come to be tutored by the Guru Mother. Come, then, to receive an understanding of what must be added unto the initiations of your soul as preparation in the universities of the Spirit and the universities of the world.
Understand that as the extension of God, complete and whole in love, you will overcome. Unless you become that extension, mere words, mere repetition, mere giving of books will not be your salvation. Beloved ones, God has decided to save the earth through his instrument. You are that instrument. I AM that instrument. You cannot account for any other instrument save the one who is the cross of white fire where you are.
I press upon you now the ultimate sense of responsibility to be God in the highest order, in the highest sense of the word. Beloved ones, I cherish the souls of light who have gone forth nation to nation, not knowing they have gone in my name yet giving the purity of the message. Let us pray unto our Father that at inner levels they shall be united and they shall have the whole armor of the teaching and the sword of the right use of the I AM THAT I AM.
Let us pray that the children of God will swiftly elect to be made sons of God by belief on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and the inevitability of the incarnate Word in themselves. He has the power to make of you sons of God, <1> which means Christs of God, the Christ incarnate.
Beloved ones, not one individual, whether to the right or to the left of the human consciousness, who is without that awareness has the power to sustain a flame that will consume darkness.
The Human Hatred of the Christ
Let us speak then, for a moment, of the understanding of the scriptures spoken to you. <2> They are not the oft-repeated scriptures; they are repeated only by the initiates. The human hatred of the Christ can only be understood by the one who is standing in the seat of authority, who stands in that position of light. That one who is in the great threefold flame knows the vibration of hatred that comes upon those who would be Christs and are Christs.
This hatred, then, is from all anti-God manifestation in Matter, all perversion of Mother and within Mother, all the elements of the consciousness of God--Father, Son, Holy Spirit and Mother. Understand, then, that when the Lord Christ and I promise to you persecution, we promise to deliver to you the momentum of planetary karma that must pass into the flame where God is.
God is where the Guru is; God is where the chela is. And in all other people he remains dormant in the Great Causal Body and sealed as a flickering candle upon the heart, with only sufficient light to sustain the propagation of the individual race of mankind.
Understand, then, that persecution comes with all of its intensity only where God is. Inasmuch as persecution cannot pass into the great planes of Spirit, into the great throne room of Alpha and Omega, it comes, then, when Alpha and Omega embody as the Word incarnate within the embodied Guru and the embodied chelas. Understand this great mystery: this is where God becomes vulnerable and God must make himself vulnerable.
He must give opportunity to all evolutions to express their free will towards him, without violating the great sphere of energy. Hence, the purpose of the incarnate Word is always for the judgment of those who have abused that Word. Cast out of heaven, then, they abide in the earth plane. They dwell there, and there is where the judgment shall be.
Ponder, then, the meaning of being God where you are. Ponder the understanding that only he who knows the Law of the One, who knows he is God, who knows he is God because he is a link in the chain of the Great White Brotherhood--only that one can stand before Pilate and be the truth even while Pilate questions, “What is truth?” <5> because there is no truth within him. Therefore he himself is judged as the anti-God in the presence of God.
A Time for Serious Preparation
We begin the most serious preparation of our chelas that has ever been attempted since the sinking of Atlantis. We begin with intensity and a discipline that is for those who understand that the age hangs in the balance—the balance of the decision of the individual chela.
We begin a discipline meet for the armies of the Faithful and True. <3> We will not withhold that intensity and we will not stand for those in our midst who simper and whimper and complain of the intensity of the cause.
The fallen ones, who imitate the path of initiation, have their disciplined armies, their disciplined students, those who understand terrorism and the tactics of terror, agitation and propaganda and all of the cunning lies they cause to enter into the marts of ideas. They, then, become the ones who excel in discipline. We will not have it. Serapis Bey has come to inaugurate a feast of light to plant a flame of purity and a love of discipline within you.
If you would save the earth from the third cataclysm and America from the third vision, <4> understand that this is the hour to realize that all sacrifices that have gone before will come to naught unless your own sacrifice becomes the capstone in the great pyramid of America and the building of Western civilization.
Let the indulgent ones leave! Let the half-hearted ones leave! Let those who pick apart, criticize and gossip about our Messengers and our chelas leave. We are not interested in numbers. We are interested in the single-minded son of God who knows that God in him is sufficient unto the hour.
There are places for those who desire a softer way, diffused, where they do not see reality because they have not yet determined to put on their spectacles and leave them on to see what is light, what is darkness, to see the humming bird, the dove and the spume of the salt of the sea.
An Hour of Decision
I AM Maitreya. I come in a great sphere of light. I come because you have welcomed me. I come because you have made the trek to be a part of a circle of fire. And you who have come to warm yourselves, have found it not so warm here at Camelot.
There is the point, for you must understand that the only fire that can warm you is the fire in your own heart, banked by love and virtue and service. O beloved ones, a few physical hardships teach the soul a multitude of truths.
My beloved, this is an hour of decision. You may have heard the teaching for many years, you may be lulled by the music and the voice of the teaching, but this is no ordinary communication. It is the pressing down upon you of the great Mind of God and a realism with which many of the lightbearers have not been able to deal, even in recent months.
It is a realism conveyed to me by the Council of the Royal Teton, the Darjeeling Council, your Messenger Lanello—all the way back to Alpha. It is the reality of the present amalgamation of forces and powers in the systems of these governments. The conspiracy is well on its way, beloved. It is directed against the soul of the individual who has determined to become God.
Now, then, we will see that no matter how great the mountain of darkness, that mountain can be leveled by the voice of Elohim! Elohim! Elohim! As the seven builders of form created form, so they can uncreate that form. They can withdraw the light from that form in an instant. So the energy locked into world conquest and world dominion can be withdrawn in a moment.
Why does God wait? He waits for God in the chela to be ready. With the withdrawal of the power that has built the vain systems of the earth, a collapse can come, a great collapse, a great cataclysm in the social order. And God desires that God shall survive in the earth in his people.
I warn you, then, of your dalliance, allowing yourselves to be tied to systems that are internally self-destructive because they are built upon a foundation of hatred of the Guru, hatred of the Mother, hatred of Maitreya.
Resentment of the Guru Maitreya
Do you wonder why I am the Buddha who has been coming?
I have been coming, yet not manifest in the earth because of the hatred of me as the person of Maitreya ever since the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, ever since the judgment of Cain and the judgment of the Serpent.
In the children of God there is a resentment of the Guru who has withdrawn his power and his light. And because now some have consumed that resentment and that ignorance of the Guru and his Law, I have come. I have become that one in Matter as I have always been in Spirit.
Did you think that it was a process of evolution and that Maitreya had not yet passed his initiations?
Well, my beloved, it is Maitreya in the chela—the chela who is becoming Maitreya—who must pass the initiations that we passed long ago and have held in the vastness of our cosmic consciousness.
Do not limit the coming of the Buddhas. Do not attempt to intellectualize their path. You do not know the vastness of our being. Therefore be content to ponder the vastness of your own. You do not know the vastness of the being of the twin flames of our Messengers. Therefore be not concerned, for everyone who comes to earth must have a human vehicle as you yourselves have.
We will not allow the criticism of your human vehicle as long as you do not allow the criticism of our own, for we stand in defense of our chelas. Our chelas are ourself; there is no separation. There is no lesser love. There is no lesser consideration.
When you enter the Path, you are one of us and we do not judge by levels of karma but by levels of commitment. If your untransmuted karma is great, we behold your Causal Body. We behold present effort. We give total opportunity for the soul to prove herself today where she failed yesterday.
Can you do any less for those who represent us and who have been faithful year after year, aeon upon aeon? Therefore, do not question our judgment when we assign chelas a work in the work of God. We come, we see, we are the conquerors of human creation. We invite you to conquer with us. We show you how. We place in your hand not only a sword but a plow.
We show you how to plow a deep furrow in the human consciousness, how to plant the seed of the Cosmic Christ. We show you how to whirl that sling and slay the Goliaths of the age. They are many.
With what tutoring did David come? He came with an anointing and it was sufficient. He came with a light and a determination to bow before the Lord God and to serve him and him alone.
Therefore I say, fear not. Do not think that Maitreya is unreasonable. Maitreya presents the Truth. You will go forth, for I will ordain you, two by two, and you will bring in the souls who have the inner as well as the outer attainment to go straight to the top of the nations of the earth and reverse the tide.
But you must be wide awake and aware and understand that our Saint Stephen of the hour will live and not die, will receive those stones and make of them tomes of wisdom to throw back to the Pharisees, the Sadducees and the people--the wisdom to confound them. <6>
Make of those stones bread of life unto the multitudes. Make of those stones coals of fire, flung into the very midst of those in their secret chambers who are plotting even now the death of the lightbearers. They have no power to destroy the Word, for the Word lives in you.
Make of those stones the hurling of the whirling centers of the seven chakras. Hurl those spheres of light as you stand in the great rainbow of the Mighty Elohim and see how God in you will create and re-create an earth and her evolutions.
This is the opportunity. This is the option of the hour. The only one who can make certain the prophecy is you.
