Chelaship under the Tutelage of the Holy Spirit

First Earn Your Stripes under the Seven Chohans

In the coolness of the evening I am come. Welcome to my heart, beloved.

I come with a singular focus, and that is first to assist you as you earn your stripes under my sons the seven chohans and then to take you in the beginning steps to be an initiate of mine. This I long for, beloved. For when you truly have the Holy Spirit anchored in your temple, in your chakras, in your heart, then you will know a new life, movement through the earth that is in the light and of the light, a tenderness that is greater than any other tenderness that you could bring to bear upon life in any dimension. The Holy Spirit is the Comforter; therefore I come to comfort you.

I ask you to realize, beloved ones, that in any university, in any qualified place of higher learning you would also have to be subjected to the correction of your work, the correction of your assignments, and you might have the opportunity to succeed or to fail. On the path to the ascension, when you espouse an ascended master as your Guru and that Guru espouses you, then, you see, you will be pummeled, and it is a word you have become familiar with. To be pummeled is to be changed by the alchemy of the sacred fire of the Holy Spirit. This alchemy cannot take place under any guru unless you are willing—willing to receive that.

You Require Fine-Tuning

Think a moment, beloved, about your circumstance. You all have one thing in common: you are in physical embodiment. Why do you think you are not an ascended master? One of the reasons might be that you had too many trepidations about affiliating yourself with an unascended master or a guru in your midst. But, beloved ones, if you were able to perfect yourself, if you were able to pick yourselves up by your own bootstraps, then why haven't you done it? Why aren't you ascended? Why are you still here?

I have seen you several thousand years ago (it seems as yesterday) and five and ten thousand years ago. The point here is, if you reject the chohans and the messenger as guru in this time, how will you know—how will you know, beloved—what part of yourself is unacceptable to God, though it be very much accepted by yourself? It is impossible to see oneself. That is why the structure of the Guru-chela relationship<1> has gone on for tens of thousands of years.

The Lord said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”<2> I can also say that of you, beloved. For if there were an easy way to be transformed from mortality to immortality, it would have been discovered long ago and many would have made their ascension. But you require fine-tuning, and it is the fine-tuning of the soul and the mind and of the heart and of the desire body. This is what is necessary.

If you come in contact with an unascended guru of the Great White Brotherhood—in the person of your messenger, I speak—take advantage of it at any moment of the day or night, for you will always learn something. For through the presence of the messenger you will come to know yourself better and better. You will know, for you will have understanding from this your adviser when you are strong in the LORD, when you are strong in your path, when you are right on with your decisions. And you will also be informed when it is better for you to take another road, for the road that you are on will not lead you either to material abundance, to personal glory or even to success.

Sometimes it is necessary to ask to be taken where the Guru is so that you might abide for a time and discover the understanding, see through the pitfalls, the dense layers of ignorance, self-justification of the past.

If You Think You Are Ready for Chelaship under the Seven Chohans or the Messenger, Make It Known

I come to mention these things, beloved, so that you will understand that every chohan carries the flame of my heart—the love, the comfort and the compassion of the Holy Spirit. I come to tell you this, beloved, that you might understand that when you are sincere and diligent in overcoming self, you must arrive at the place where the Guru awaits to help you complete the sculpturing of yourself until no longer do you see in yourself mortality but a few of its vestiges. Rather, you embrace eternity and live in the flame of the Holy Spirit.

I have come, then, to see what graduates my seven chohans may have, that I may take them on and accelerate them. So I am asking, beloved, if you think you are ready for chelaship under the seven chohans or the messenger, make it known, beloved. Make it known to me in prayer that you would serve under me to finally unravel the schisms of self and the unknowing, the not knowing, of what is the real, what is the unreal, what is the most important step you may take to enter permanently into the fires of Pentecost. My desire for you is to bring to you the marvelous disciplines of the Holy Spirit so that when you have that fire you will never misuse it.

Blessed ones, those who rise on a path of chelaship—when that option today is so available to you—ought to truly remember the one or the two masters you have chosen among the chohans and then consider me. This is the reason I have come to this conference. I can make your lives and your future one great acceleration on the path of rising love, rising through the forests, through the mountains to the heights of the Himalayas. Many more of you are ready for this than conceive of it at all. Thus, I tell you, you have that preparation whereby I may lead you onto paths that you would not discover on your own.

The Guru-Chela Relationship Has Been Maintained for Thousands upon Thousands of Years

[The holy breath sounds.]

I send forth shafts of white fire and of the comfort flame to your hearts that I might assist you in melting and dissolving all hardness of heart that is come from diet or other levels of the four lower bodies, levels of intransigence, levels of saying: “I will not submit to another. I will be on my way, for I know that I am capable of figuring out my reason for being and how to get there.”

Well, you may think you know, beloved, but thousands upon thousands of years ago unto the present, in systems far away from this solar system and galaxy, the Guru-chela relationship has been maintained, even as in the situation that the messenger spoke of today of the relationship of Surya and Cuzco.<3> Imagine these God-free beings—imagine Cuzco declaring himself even the Chela of Surya. Most likely you would think if you had the attainment of Cuzco you would not have to go pitter-pattering off to your Guru asking permission for this and that. Well, there is far, far more to this relationship, beloved. It is when the Guru and the Chela, covering vast space, are able to hold the balance not merely for solar systems and galaxies but for vast components of the Matter cosmos.

Realize, then, that the initial initiations are difficult. The messenger will be first to tell you that. These initiations are serious. And if you do not pass them it is costly—costly to the chela, costly to the ascended masters. For we are always dealing with the cudgel of time, and sometimes time is not as important to you as it should be!

I trust the messenger's lecture on “to be or not to be”<4> will be digested by you. For if you are to choose to be or not to be, then I recommend that you surely seek one who can convince you that there is every good reason why you should be rather than not be.

Thus, in this hour, when your auras are reflected against the backdrop of vast space and many evolutions may behold you as you are here, so, many may see the progress you are making and will continue to make.

Many Are Left in Incarnation Simply Because They Do Not Bend the Knee

The gifts of the Holy Spirit<5> come to the disciplined ones. All things in God must be disciplined, for the order of cosmos is truly, truly magnificent. None do enter in unless they have paid their dues of light unto the God of light.

Thus you understand why so many are left in incarnation—simply because they do not bend the knee. Blessed ones, it is very important to bend the knee and to do so swiftly. It is important to be humble. It is important to love and still love unto the fulfillment of your mission and your transition into the octaves of light.

My fellow chohans and I bow before the light within you. We are here in your service. We are here to reinforce—to reinforce you with strength and all that you need to turn around the negative spirals of portents in the astrology of nations. Contemplate, beloved, being a servant of God. Walk in the footsteps of Saint Francis and remember that our order here at Maitreya's Mystery School is the order of the Brothers and Sisters of Saint Francis and Saint Clare.<6>

In the magnificence of God we embrace you. Welcome to our hearts. We await your journey to our retreats, where we will begin what you have been waiting for and perhaps having trepidation about—the entering into a solid Guru-chela relationship with the ascended hosts.

We await your knock on the door of our retreat. And we seal you now in the names of God.<7>

“The Summit Lighthouse Sheds Its Radiance o’er All the World to Manifest as Pearls of Wisdom.”

This dictation by the Maha Chohan was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Saturday, July 6, 1996, during the eleven-day conference A World Convocation of Spiritual Seekers, held in the Heart of the Inner Retreat at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana.

1. The Sanskrit word Guru (“Dispeller of Darkness”), when spelled with a capital G, indicates a God-man, or Avatar, who is Teacher, Initiator. Lowercased, it indicates an enlightened teacher. The degrees of attainment by the officeholder may vary. The term chela refers to a servant of the God-man, a devotee of the light of Christ in the living master who wears the mantle of Guru. When spelled with a capital C, it indicates that the Chela is sharing a relationship of coequality with the Guru, wherein the Guru represents the Alpha polarity and the Chela represents the Omega polarity. Such a Chela is capable of holding the balance for the Guru in the earth. The Chela who has earned a capital C holds a high office opposite the Guru.

2. Matt. 6:15; Luke 23:34.

3. On July 6, 1996, the messenger gave this teaching on the “Count-to-Nine Decree” by Cuzco: “If you remember to give it, it's probably the decree that will save you from putting out misqualified energy of any kind....You have to have it in your hip pocket,...because we all arrive at places where we are tempted to get out of sorts and to become angry because our ego justifies it. But we are not justified in God. So, this is the formula;...it's very important. If you feel that you are getting overheated in a discussion because you don't happen to agree with what someone is saying, what do you do? You button your lip. You excuse yourself from the meeting, from the room, from the situation. Go outside, breathe some fresh air, and give the ”Count-to-Nine Decree.“ With it, you are stilling your feeling world. You are sealing your energies. This is a vow to the ascended master Cuzco that you will keep the energy that he gives you through this decree. And let me tell you, the ascended master Cuzco is the Chela of the God Surya, who is in the Great Central Sun of our galaxy. This is an extremely high being, the being that is the Chela of the God Surya. So, this is why we talk about a vow to the ascended master Cuzco—because it's not a good idea to misqualify energy that's coming from a cosmic being. It's just not good sense. I am sure you can see why.” Relationship of Surya and Cuzco. From the God Star, Sirius, Surya holds the balance for natural forces in the earth. He is assisted by his Chela, the ascended master Cuzco, whose etheric retreat is at Viti Levu in the Fiji Islands in the South Pacific. In a 1979 Pearl, Sanat Kumara said: “Surya, the Great Guru, and his Chela, the ascended master Cuzco, are the ensouling divinities of these two points of light that move as one—as Alpha and Omega in a positive-negative polarity” (1979 PoW, vol. 22, no. 41, p. 262).

False Gurus
Excerpt from Mark L. Prophet and Elizabeth Clare Prophet,
The Lost Teachings of Jesus II, ch. 12, pp. 310-11 (or pocketbook 4, pp. 19-21)

People really can't see what's offensive about themselves—offensive to the light, that is—and they want a human saviour that will take them the way they are—all the way through the seven heavens of the seven chakras. That's what's known as unconditional love. They want the universe to step aside and make way for their human creation—the whole kit and caboodle!

That's why so many follow the false gurus. They tell them they can do anything they want to and still have God consciousness. Beware of them. They are no part of the Great White Brotherhood and the true Guru-chela relationship sponsored by Jesus Christ, Saint Germain and the ascended masters.

Yes, the aliens are in the temples made with hands.* Some are the false pastors of Christendom. In them the truth that “Jesus loves you” becomes a palliative and so they suffer their human creation instead of seeking and finding his love through the fervent heat of alchemical transmutation and the fiery trial. And so people say, “Jesus loves me just as I am. I don't have to change.” But Jesus doesn't teach that. His path is one of change, daily change, all the way Home.

*See Acts 7:48; 17:24.

Then you see the false gurus of the Indian Black Brotherhood. They never exact the price, nor do they pay the price for your salvation—the balancing of your karma and the ennoblement of your soul. I know, they're telling you they're doing both—but remember, God placed his immortal Spirit inside of you: You don't need a fallen angel disguised as Christ or Guru to impart to you what you already have. But if you do choose to fall for them and with them, oh yes, you will pay false sacrifices in the service of their human personality but they won't teach you the true path of sacrifice, first of the thing, the human creation, and then of the Spirit through the Work and the Word of the LORD.

Their false teaching is that you can do it all by raising the Kundalini and chakra meditation. These are techniques which when lawfully practiced under a true master—even an unascended master of the Himalayas—can afford balance and mastery; but salvation and the transmutation of karma by the Saviouress—service on behalf of the Mother's children and the violet flame—is another path entirely.

Someone must pay the price. Jesus did. Someone—the true Guru—must bear your burden until you are able. The true Guru will teach you how to pay the price—every jot and tittle—and this is the crux of Jesus' lost teaching, the missing ingredient without which your alchemical experiment in the laboratory of the soul will not succeed.

There are false Christs in every world religion today as well as in the various sects. You must examine them and base your evaluation not on their outer personality or words and more words, but on this criterion alone: Do they have the capacity to get you where you want to go? Will they lay down their life for you? Are they able to pay the price and do they wear the true mantle of Jesus Christ, Saint Germain and all saints who comprise the Great White Brotherhood?
