Vol. 44 No. 29 - Beloved Godfre - July 22, 2001

We Expect
Part 4

You will see, then, how your own Supreme Court has gone back and forth on many issues over the years, and only today has come forth the announcement of the Supreme Court affirming the death penalty in the United States.9 There has been great discussion concerning this.

I am here to tell you that I ratify this decision, and the reason is this: it comes more closely into the reflection of cosmic law. You understand that cosmic law also provides for the death penalty in the second death before the Court of the Sacred Fire on Sirius <1> where there are those souls who are absolutely incorrigible, who will not glorify God, who have spent all of their energy on darkness. When their time is up, they pass through the second death. They stand on the dais where the currents of Alpha and Omega are manifest, and there that identity is canceled out.

Now, what do you think this does to the rest of the evolutions of the cosmos? It is the same goad to righteousness which you find in your own death penalty. As you sit here knowing the Law, knowing that you do not have forever and a day to while away the hours and to waste God’s energy--knowing that there is a judgment--then you are spurred to righteousness.

And some among mankind likewise need that threat (much closer, of course, in their own lifetime) that if they commit these heinous crimes against the Mother and her children, against the body of God upon earth, that they will have to give an accounting. We see, then, that justice at work in this hour of turmoil and chaos necessitates this court decision being implemented by the states.

You see, the Lords of Karma realize that the soul that goes through that ultimate punishment will be given very quickly an opportunity to reincarnate. And on the record of that soul will be that record of the judgment and that knowledge: “If you fail, this is what happens.” We desire to see that recorded. And, therefore, we repeat with Christ, Fear not those who kill the body, but those who are able to destroy the soul in hell. <2>

And I tell you, many souls who have committed these crimes who are in the prisons today are rotting away because they have not had that edict of the descent of their karma. And so the bodies are preserved and the souls rot away. Would it not be better if the reverse were so? And therefore, this is that explanation.

I would also tell you that it is, in our opinion, a manifestation of far too great a leniency when those who are in prison for life are allowed to leave on good behavior--hardened criminals, those who have committed mass murders. I bring these things before you so that you will understand that ours must be a total victory, and that total victory must manifest in justice, in the law and in every area of life that is lived in America.

Dispensation for the Release of Lightbearers

I say, then, I am going to the Royal Teton and I am going to ask for a dispensation for the release of the next band of lightbearers and of children of the Mother who are caught in various psychic activities. And many of them are caught with those who are the [false] gurus. These individuals [the lightbearers and the children of the Mother] are highly sincere and highly motivated for America, but they have been plunked down into a teaching and a forcefield that is a half-truth and sometimes a whole error.

Once they have accepted these errors, precious ones, it becomes a part of their own mind, their own ego, their own identity. To surrender these patterns is difficult for them, for it demands a surrendering of a portion of their own self-consideration, their concept of their own ability to assess religious principles, to make decisions, to see the truth and to not see the truth. And therefore, if they are told that they are in a movement that is entirely wrong, it is an insult to their consciousness and they are not so quick to admit that they have made an error as the human consciousness goes.

And so you see, it is vital that the souls who are uncommitted, who have not found the true teaching, be drawn into the teachings of the ascended masters. For it is far more difficult to find them once they have been swallowed up in one of these houses or centers or forcefields of teachers who do not represent our Brotherhood. Therefore, it is indeed high time that these teachings and these books were made universally available.

Conflicting Desires in the Subconscious

I AM Godfre! I AM a God-free being, and I have willed to be free! I tell you that those individuals who are living for freedom yet who are encamped in the right and the left wing--one and all, there is something, something within them that resists freedom at the same time it desires freedom. I will tell you something very interesting and perhaps curious: that there are many such as these, and if they really desired to be free, if they truly wanted to be free, they would accept the teachings of the ascended masters.

Therefore, there are conflicting desires in the subconscious. There may be involved a desire for recognition. There may be a desire that is a fear molecule. There may be a desire for wealth, for family, for gain, for some other commodity, and this desire then presents the conflict. And when they encounter the teachings of the ascended masters, they are not able to let go.

Even the desire for righteousness itself, the desire to be saved, the desire to be free from sin is a selfish desire in one aspect because it is an attachment, it is the desire to get something for a reward. This desire for the reward, then, tends to make people be bound to doctrines and dogmas. And therefore, really, when they are in the churches or when they are fighting for America, in many instances their motive is based on self-preservation. And self-preservation is a binding force. It eclipses the light of the all-seeing eye.

Understand, then, that the only legitimate love of God is to love God merely for the sake of loving him and loving him alone, and not for the consequences of his return love, his reward, his elevation of your soul, et cetera. Only this freedom, this freedom to be God and to love God, will secure for the soul of light the true path and freedom from error and compromise due to his own pride and ambition.

In Each and Every Nation There Are Lightbearers Whom We Have Called

I give you this key so that you can pray for the American people. Many of them are eight-tenths motivated in the right direction. But there is something holding them back from coming into the light; and once that something is transmuted, then there will be no stopping this people. For this people is a mighty people. This people is of old from the temples of Atlantis and Mu, from other systems of worlds. Among this people are the legions of Sanat Kumara and the volunteers who came forth, the disciples of Jesus, the multitudes to whom he spoke on the hillsides, those who lived in the catacombs in Rome. This people is the drawing together of some of the most noble and stalwart souls of the ages of this entire system of worlds.

And the Lord has placed many of these souls in other nations. In each and every nation there are lightbearers whom we have called, and we do salute those representatives at this conference who have come from lands afar, who have come at the behest of freedom. We will send you home with our love and freedom, with our rod of power, with our energy that you might also be the electrodes for the rolling back of the darkness. And as you give your violet flame in your home bases, you will reach a crescendo of light where the legions of violet flame from the Great Central Sun can also come to your nation and roll back the karma of the Dark Cycle. <3>

Understand, then, that the reason that this was given to America this day is solely because Keepers of the Flame and other students of the I AM have been diligent in giving their calls to the violet flame in this past year. We need many souls in every nation to create that mandate whereby the solar lords will send these millions of violet-flame angels to a nation. And so you have the challenge, Ghana has the challenge, Africa and Europe, Sweden and Canada and every place where Keepers of the Flame rise up.

We Expect Victory!

Yes, I AM God-free! But I will never rest until you are God-free, until America is God-free! Precious ones, if you will but take that fervor of the early patriots who knew that all of the future and all of life and the future of freedom on the earth depended upon their staying power--if you will take that fervor, you will save America and we will win for God together. We expect victory!

Messenger’s Comments following Lanello’s and Godfre’s Dictations:

We are grateful and we expect victory, too.

Every once in a while--that once in a while is few and far between--but every once in a while there comes a little moment in the course of service when I say, “Mark, I can’t believe you’re not here.” I say to myself, “How can I be here conducting this conference without you?” I said that to myself as I was preparing for his [Lanello’s] dictation, remembering so many years of conferences when we served on the platform together. And so, when I said, “I can’t believe you’re not here,” he said, “Don’t believe it, I AM here!”

In the name of the Knight Commander, Saint Germain, this Keepers of the Flame meeting <*> is concluded. In the name of the Father and of the Mother, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

This dictation by Godfre was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet following the dictation by Lanello on Saturday, July 3, 1976, at the freedom class Higher Consciousness, held in Washington, D.C.

* Lanello’s and Godfre’s dictations were delivered during the Keepers of the Flame business meeting held at Higher Consciousness.

1. U.S. Supreme Court affirms constitutionality of the death penalty on July 2, 1976. In 1967, while awaiting a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on capital punishment, the states put a hold on all executions. Before that time, few individuals in the U.S. had challenged the constitutionality of capital punishment. In 1972 (Furman v. Georgia), the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the death penalty as then administered, without standards or guidelines for trial juries to follow, was “cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments.” This was the first case in which the Supreme Court had ruled against the death penalty. Significantly, the Court did not rule on the constitutionality of the death penalty itself but rather on the sentencing procedure. The decision created three options for individual states to employ: a mandatory death sentence for certain offenses, development of standardized guidelines for juries, and outright abolition of the death penalty. Subsequently, the legislatures of at least 35 states revised their statutes to provide for the death penalty for at least some crimes that result in the death of another person. Then, on July 2, 1976, in Gregg v. Georgia, the Court voted 7–2 to uphold the constitutionality of the death penalty, stating that “punishment of death does not invariably violate the Constitution.” The Court approved a number of the revised capital punishment statutes. Six months later, in January 1977, the first person to be executed in the U.S. in ten years was executed by a Utah firing squad. In a 1988 decision (Thompson v. Oklahoma), the Supreme Court ruled 5-3 that the “Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments prohibit the execution of a person who was under 16 years of age at the time of his or her offense.” Today, all but twelve states and the District of Columbia employ the death penalty.

2. Second death. Rev. 2:11; 20:6, 11–15; 21:7, 8. “You can think of the divine spark as pure Spirit. It can never die. But the soul can be lost; she can self-destruct by her own actions. If the soul does not exercise her free will to realize her potential, she may ultimately lose that potential and cease to exist” (Elizabeth Clare Prophet with Patricia R. Spadaro and Murray L. Steinman, Kabbalah: Key to Your Inner Power, p. 102). See also Mark L. Prophet and Elizabeth Clare Prophet, The Lost Teachings of Jesus II, pp. 75, 117-19, 386-89 (hardbound and trade paperback). Or pocket book version: Book 2, pp. 277-78; Book 3, pp. 50-52; Book 4, pp. 113-17.

11. Matt. 10:28.

3. In a dictation given October 15, 1967, God Meru warned that the Dark Cycle of the return of mankind’s karma would begin on January 18, 1969, “unless contemporary man within one year shall make some great attempt to harness the forces of heaven.” On April 23, 1969, the Dark Cycle began to slow down mankind’s ability to make more karma and thus check the acceleration of the judgment of men and nations which could otherwise hasten ‘final ends’. The Dark Cycle is a period when mankind’s misqualified energy (i.e., their returning negative karma), held in abeyance for centuries under the great mercy of the Law, is released according to the cycles of the initiations of the solar hierarchies for balance in this time of transition into the Aquarian age. For an in-depth explanation of the Dark Cycle and the return of mankind’s karma of 25,800 years, see Elizabeth Clare Prophet, “Prophecy for the 1990s III,” in 1990 Pearls of Wisdom, pp. 63-64, 71, 73-86, 120-21. See also Saint Germain, April 15, 1990, in 1990 Pearls of Wisdom, pp. 225-27.
