Vol. 43 No. 44 - Beloved Lord Maitreya - October 29, 2000
Remember Your First Guru
and Your First Mother on Earth
Light out of the infinite sphere is the descent of Allness, but how can the smallness of the lesser self appropriate the light when it cannot equate itself with the All?
The lesser mind conceives of itself in a level of attainment that it has in no wise gained, for the lesser self is incapable of that attainment. But the soul, the soul rising in the spirals of the resurrection current, is able to be God in proportion to its ability to assimilate God.
Now some have concluded that they have concluded a course of study with Maitreya, but I say you have scarcely crossed the threshold of the Ascended Masters’ University. I come, then, to impart reality, not alone to you, but to our chelas positioned here and there in the circles of the earth.
I AM the Buddha in the midst of the fiery core of the lotus. I step down the great spheres of Gautama. I translate his peace into levels of initiation. I AM the transcendent one. Therefore, see translucent spheres of consciousness into which I would bid you enter.
But first, I must know that you are divested of the momentums of Western civilization whereby all achievement is measured by outer conditions, outer manifestations, where those who have worked a certain spiral then consider that they have somehow earned a gift or earned a status in their community or their social level. Putting in time or space, however, sometimes results in a zero achievement, as more is lost than gained.
I would not have you ignorant of your personal need to pursue the Path with a diligence you have not yet known or comprehended, with a seriousness that can enter into the joy of the Lord and yet never be caught off guard. Unbeknownst to you, as you enter a path of independence you also enter a corresponding spiral of dependence.
Now that you have had stripped from you the props of worldly manifestations, concealments, crutches you have borne, you are more helpless in the world and therefore more dependent upon the Reality of God than you have ever been since you were born. You see, the lesser self has learned to protect itself by ways unlawful. When these dissolve, the corresponding shafts of light must be as tempered steel.
Why do you think so many are lost who enter the Path?
It is because they have not understood co-measurement. They have not understood the vulnerability of the soul that is now without reinforcements of human consciousness or human defenses. I would not have you, then, as defenseless babes, but I would increase your dependence upon the God flame that I AM.
Wherefore has the Lord God appointed me initiator of your soul? Because it is essential that I am with you alway, even unto the end of the cycles of your human consciousness that even now obliterate and confuse your ability to understand yourself.
Learn True Co-Measurement
You, then, have scarcely begun to understand the kindergarten of the Path under the Guru Maitreya. Even this level is well worthy of praise, worthy of the acclamation of angels, but it is not worthy of false self-esteem. Compared to the masses of this earth, you are in realms apart, but looking upon the ladder of the ascension, you are as little children, scarcely able to place a foot upon the first rung of the ladder and hold it there without our strong arm of support.
Let chelas, then, not be emboldened by the comparison of the self to others upon earth or to other chelas of other schools. This is a most dangerous state of mind whereby you become overconfident because you have heard the Word, not realizing that the hearing of the Word is not the translation of the soul until you experience and become the Word.
Be attentive, then, and because you have advanced beyond your fellows and can now at will invoke the violet flame and burdens and cares will pass away, think not that you can now scamper off to other areas and feel that because you have walked these halls you are somehow magically protected or magically sustained.
Beloved ones, the rigors of the Path are not made known but rather concealed by the very temper and mood of Western civilization. You know not bodily hardships. You know not want. Scarcely are the sinews of the mind exercised, for all comes with the ease of a life pattern, which, if it were the mastery of the abundant life, would be realistic.
However, it is the building of a materialistic empire by souls of light. But also, ah yes, by souls of darkness who have known that to build such an empire is to leave souls off guard who can scarcely understand that they themselves are yet helpless before the elements of nature, helpless before the great oncoming law of karma.
I come, then, to pull you into alignment by a sudden and severe awareness of your impoverished consciousness and by the disciplines I expect you to engage in, body, soul and mind. Mighty Victory has surveyed the lightbearers of this first class of initiation at Summit University and he has said to me, “O Maitreya, most holy one. Souls of light, they are as babes dancing in the sparkling waters. They have not measured, no, they have not measured the battle and they are not ready to move with our legions. Therefore, let them not be disillusioned but let them be illumined to the necessity of a continuing pursuit of the light, no matter how painful, no matter how real.”
Reality is a blazing sun from which you shield your eyes, yet one day you must face that sun. Therefore I come, O my beloved, to admonish you in the continuing of the Law of Love unto yourself, unto all around you.
Become a Sage
I come not to crown you but to prepare you for the crown. I come, then, not to seal you but to unseal you. Therefore, let the substances of the chakras go into the flame. Let them be opened and let light course through your veins.
You have only one body of peers. They are chelas on the path of Maitreya Buddha. They are in an etheric retreat and there they receive the disciplines of the Law, even as you are discovering those disciplines in the life process on earth. For a comparison, then, of your progress you may only be compared to those of equal karma, equal opportunity.
Therefore, I say it is necessary that you accelerate in order to be the counterpart of these chelas who, at inner levels, hold a chalice of the wine of the Spirit that they would pour into your chalice. Co-measurement, balance, Alpha/Omega, let the inner and the outer chelas be one.
Let their God flames commemorate their twin flames, and through your souls let earth be the abiding place of heaven. Watch and be vigilant, my beloved. Take the word of wisdom given to you, for we would call you the wise. To call you the wise is to bestow upon you the title of Sage.
A sage is one who has a profound awareness of the path of chelaship. The sage is not the Guru, but the sage has become a teacher of the teachings of the Guru. The sage is one who is wise by co-measurement, by a correct assessment of the self.
I bid you to that inner discipline. I bid you to the calling, for the children of China are yearning for their sages to return, and the children of India yearn for the holy Mother, and the children of America await the sane word of the practical life of honor and love.
I Am Here at Camelot
I have positioned myself here at Camelot. And I sit sometimes as a peasant in the Mediterranean sun with my sombrero and my guitar and I pluck notes of ancient sounds that penetrate the depths of the subconscious.
I am here and I extend my Electronic Presence to you. I challenge the areas that you would have challenged within your being, the hard-core awareness of the self that is independent of God, a self-awareness of which you have scarcely any awareness at all.
Trust, then. Oh, trust. Trust the dedication of the Messenger and the Mystery School and your own garment, your own thread of contact. I place myself at the goal of your life. I am Maitreya, the goalpost. I am Maitreya, the beginning of the Word, the ending of the Word.
If you think you are caught in the middle, you are. And if sometimes you know not the way to turn or you are dizzy, as though you had emerged from a merry-go-round, and you think you are going to the goal when you are going to the Source whence you came, know, then, that from Alpha to Omega there is an arc of energy. You must become that arc. You must become that light.
O light! O light! O light invincible!
O light within the heart!
I AM the golden light of the arc.
I AM Father and Mother.
I AM the golden arc.
I draw it through the heart.
I Come for the Alignment of Your Soul
Now then, you, chela, move upon that thread from Father to Mother. And sometimes, as a little child who pleads his case before Father and receives from Father the definite no, you then move along the arc of the thread to Mother and plead your case once more, hoping, hoping to hear the definite yes.
Why do the deliberations of Father and Mother sometimes differ? It is not our vacillation; it is because sometimes your energies are unacceptable to the plus polarity of Being and therefore you cannot approach the energy of Father and Father may not sponsor you in your endeavor. But, out of alignment with the Mother, you then enter her heart and receive her sponsorship as intermediary to the throne of grace.
Now, understand that your movement from the beginning to the ending and the ending to the beginning is the oscillation of light for the alignment of your soul in the Alpha and the Omega. Therefore your four lower bodies must be created and re-created, born and reborn, formed, unformed and reformed so that the spherical union may appear.
When you have penetrated all of Father that you can contain, then it is time for the balancing of polarity in Mother. These initiations come under the twelve hierarchies of the Sun, whom I represent to you, for, behold! I stand at the twelve gates of the New Jerusalem. I stand at the portal of the cycle of your year of victory. <1>

Alpha and Omega, for the alignment of the soul in the initiations of the twelve hierarchies of the Sun, I AM come to the altar of the Holy Grail. I AM come for the raising up of Alpha and Omega within these souls. I AM come, then, to initiate the cycle of Capricorn, of the Great Divine Director, of the light of Alpha and Omega within that open door of Being. I AM that light of Being. I AM that light of Being. I AM that light of Being. I AM the open door of light. Therefore, let the soul pursue the essence of the Father-Mother God. Let that which has become the hard-core rebellion against the light now face the eternal Sun. Let the soul in all courage be willing now to place that substance into the flame, to become a spherical reality of Being, a white sphere of light that is a golden sun held in the hands of Maitreya. I AM Maitreya. I AM the Law of the One. I AM the Law of the One. I AM the Law of the One. I AM that flaming presence of Being. Light out of the Great Central Sun, Light out of the Great Central Sun, I release thy flame. Light out of the great pyramid, I release thy flame. Light out of the great sphere, I release thy flame. Light out of the cosmic ovoid, the Cosmic Egg, I release thy flame. [15-second chant, 10-second pause]

Contain the Energy of a Single Raindrop
My beloved, your hearts have prepared for a greater light than you have ever known. Understand that a single raindrop contains within itself more energy than you have ever known. Therefore, do not compliment yourself upon the receipt of the raindrop, but understand that you must summon a cosmos of God-control to be able to contain the energy locked within the raindrop of my soul.
Therefore, simply because you receive a greater light, do not rest content, for there are hordes of darkness waiting at the gate who have misqualified that quantity of light for the duration of a million years of their vanity. They understand a co-measurement that you do not.
Thus their leader entrapped the Goddess of Light in an hour of greater attainment than you now know. O beloved ones, remember, then, the story that is the history of how those fallen ones imprisoned that one who had already sustained life in the physical temple for hundreds of years.
Yet in a moment of indiscretion she was imprisoned in the body of a fish, in the lower half of that body, for that fish body could not go past the heart chakra. Therefore, the requirement was to sustain life in that form for over eight hundred years before the ascension was given, because the light of that body had been raised to such a degree that the ascension was required from that point, even though the curse of the black magician had fallen upon it.
Understand these disciplines. Understand the malintent of the Evil One and understand that the single drop of light I have invoked is great enough for the quaking of worlds. The fallen ones would take that light, and some among you know not the beginning of wisdom.
Let it be, then, the constant prayer, the vigil of constancy and the awareness that a planet is being infused with light and that many are they whose hatred of your light is unto the death. Our joy is in the final victory. Our rejoicing on the way is the hallelujah of the risen Christ.
Let us be up and doing. Let us be in action. Let us see the hour of need. Let us fill that need.
The Hour Is Come for the Judgment
O Helios and Vesta,
O Helios and Vesta, thy light is a brilliant star!
We now face the karma of those who have lightly taken our initiations and gone from the Mystery School to use that light, to turn it against the Woman and her seed. They were known of old. Their hour is come.
I announce that the hour is come for the judgment, each and every one, of those who have sought to steal the light of the banner of Maitreya and the banner of the Mother. Their judgment must come to secure the way for each initiate of life.
I come for the conversion. I hold in my hand a cup of praise. One day I will bid you drink of that cup with me. It shall be unto the God that you have become. Now, let us carve a path.
I seal you in the purple fire. I place upon you the violet- flame mantle. I see the five-pointed star. I see the golden star and I see the star of victory.
O golden light, O initiation of the five,
O initiation of the six,
O three times eleven,
be for the ascension of the threefold flame.
[10-second chant]
Our Father who art in heaven,
that none of these may be lost is our prayer
forever and forever. Amen.
[18-second pause]
Come forward now that I may touch you—a blessing from my hand to your heart, that our hearts might be one and know the infinite fire. It is the kiss of peace, as two hearts leap to be as one and then to part to be a blazing sun. The memory of the moment of the kiss of flames is forever the promise to each flame that we shall be one again. And in the preparation for that oneness each heart shall increase, each heart shall keep the vigil of love, each heart shall know greater and greater wisdom, each heart shall remain faithful to its First Love.
Come now, my beloved, my first fruit, my first chelas of ancient, oh, of ancient days. You, then, who would go before that others might pass through the door, you who must accelerate or be placed outside the circle, you to whom it is given to redeem the ancient vow that you had somehow lost, come now. Remember your First Love. Remember your first Guru and your first Mother on earth.
[Approximately 10 minutes of chanting as students receive blessing.]
Allow No One to Turn You from the Path
Out of the flame of peace, I AM come. I AM come to deliver the sacred fire. Learn, then, of me, for I AM the descending fohat of the Almighty. I AM that sacred fire uniting with your own. Learn, then, the meaning of the sacred force. When you feel the entering in to your heart of that force of light, it is the requirement of the Law, O chela, that you meet that force with an equal force.
Thus, to receive the light you must give light. If, when you receive that force you retreat, how easily, then, do you retreat from the Guru? If the Guru pushes you away, you must push again toward the Guru. You must pursue the Guru as a cosmic lover. You must be determined to have that Guru and to have no other.
You must be dauntless. Though the Mother spurn you thus, though you be turned away, you must come with a determination that will not be moved but will keep on keeping on. If, then, the force delivered unto you is able to drive you away, you must know it is for the strengthening, for the transmutation, for the preparation, for the bringing to the altar of a better fruit, not the bitter fruit of regret, of reticence. Where, then, is the determination? Where, then, is the determination to be the flame? I could scarce deliver the power of my heart, for by the impact of the force you backed away.
Thus, beloved, do you not understand? This is initiation. This is initiation. If you turn away when you feel the force, if you allow the force to move your determined stance to carry a light, then how can you assimilate that force?
If, perforce, the force be God and you stand fast, knowing that neither heaven nor earth would turn you from that flame, then you will be burned by that flame but you will also become that flame. Now, with that power in your being, know that the world will also come with its force—God-force misqualified—and the world will also be the guru of your initiation.
You must stand immovable, immovable against that force, determined that when that energy comes upon your heart you will meet it with light, an equal force, a greater force and perforce transmute, absorb, assimilate, seize that energy, ride that bull, make it your own whirling sphere of light that you now hurl!
Beloved ones, the lesson is this: allow no one to turn you away from the Path. Allow no one to alter your will to come to the altar and stand before the living God. Allow no one to turn you from the Path, not even the force of the Guru.
Be relentless. Do not take no for an answer, but take more and more and more initiation until the force of the Guru, the force of the chela be one flame sustained—sustained from Alpha to Omega, from the Word unto the Word.
Transmute the in-between words! Be the Word! Therefore, wherever you are, I AM that Word. And therefore, the Guru and the chela are one.
I AM the source of light. I AM the source of light. I AM that source. I send you forth by that force to test the resilience of consciousness to return to the origin of the force.
