I speak to you of certain concerns, beloved, one of these being the following: Gambling has become legal in many places. Here in Montana over two thousand places of business have some kind of gambling.<1> You have allowed yourselves to let this gambling beast grow and grow until heaven wonders when you will take up your crusade and give the fiery fiats for the binding of the beast of gambling.
The beast of gambling, beloved, is demoralizing. It sucks from the poor, who have nothing. Gambling, beloved, is tied into suicide; the entities are very close to one another.<2> Suicide is taking a chance—a chance that you may go to a good place, a chance that you may go to a bad place.<3> Gambling is the same. You may win, you may lose, but it is all a game of chance. You can see how suicide links up with gambling and then the money beast. And imagine how many children being born and growing up throughout this country will take gambling as a given, even as many of them have taken suicide as a given for the example of so many fallen angels who themselves committed suicide.
Blessed ones, this is most vicious and it eats away at the soul and the heart. Those lightbearers who would take their ascension in this life, you who know that you would never gamble, you must turn around now and defend those who do not have the vision and who are already beset by the gambling entity. My heart mourns over this condition. Shall it sweep the earth before an outrage and a cry unto the God Almighty in the center of the universe shall come forth?
Beloved ones, I ask you to see to it that you go after this. It is tied into the rock music. It is tied into the death culture. It is evil. It is abject evil. And many who live as gamblers all of their days, beloved, will go to low levels of the astral plane.<4> This is a great tragedy and one of the methods that hell has been using of late. And so, beloved, I ask you to simply name that word as you name your calls, perhaps inserted in the very suicide decree<5> itself, because they are one and the same.
I am concerned and I have always been concerned about souls who will be lost<6>—souls who will be lost, beloved, for there is no one who will touch them. There is no one here who may know those who are in profound states of being losers already, who do not have a momentum of light or strength or fire. And unless some will go after them with the archangels, they will be lost.
I recount this to you because it is the end of the year, and at the end of the year there is a harvest. There is a harvest of those who, for want of service to life, have no further justifiable reason to be in embodiment. And so they will pass through the screen of life ere the clock strikes December 31. There are those who will pass on, for they are ready for their next incarnation or training in the schools of light. They are in a better position. There are souls, beloved, who have been so selfish that they will only weigh the planet down, and because there is such a weight of selfishness upon the earth they are placed out of the body (passing from the screen of life) in retreats where they must learn to give and not only to receive.
Blessed ones, there are many reasons why we hear of so many deaths on the planet at this season. One major reason is that at winter solstice the Lords of Karma meet unto the end of the year and they determine that the planet must be lightened by certain numbers leaving who either have fulfilled their courses with merit or are on a track that is negative, in a sense, perpetually making karma. It does them no good to be in embodiment either; better to start again with a partially clean slate in the next life.
I, then, Mary, give you now a wide panorama of your planet. I take you many miles above the earth and I show you the dark places and the light places. I ask you to go after the light places, where lightbearers have convened, whatever the nation. For if you can multiply those lightbearers by your threefold flame and by giving a teaching, you will send many into the world who will also one day become shepherds.
This is the conclusion that Raphael and I bring to you in our deliberations with our Lord Jesus. Let the lightbearers, then, have increased dispensations for more light and more reaching out with light. And let the dark ones who are recalcitrant deal with their karma. Let them deal with it themselves, beloved, for one day they must take back upon themselves all of the heaviness that they have added to planet earth.
I, then, seal you in the light that does not fail. And I commend all study groups, teaching centers, nuclei of keepers of the flame, I commend you to the service to life and I tell you that wherever two or three are gathered in the name of my Son Jesus, there he is in the midst with you.<7> And therefore, all things that are right and noble and just and true and lovely are possible unto you. Wherever two can decree together and pray together, that is the requirement, beloved, an Alpha and an Omega. As you look at the flame of your neighbor, you realize that it is your flame and your neighbor's flame that enables you to establish a center of wholeness.
I AM your Mother of Sorrows. I sorrow in my heart for the suffering of many. But if I were to tell you, beloved, what makes me sorrowful the most, I would have to tell you that it is when keepers of the flame and lightbearers who know better and know the Law do not do better and do not obey the Law. It is almost incomprehensible to those of us in heaven that you have received so great a salvation and yet can go back to your old ways.
I call you out of the fire of my heart, my Immaculate Heart, to return to the path of your immaculate embrace of your Lord and Saviour. This do, beloved. There are no shortcuts to salvation. Leave no stone unturned, and let me find you more appreciative of this great salvation that has been given unto you than you have been in the past.
I seal you in the heart of God. And I AM always your Mother, Mary.
Messenger's Invocation during the Service before the Dictation:
Mighty I AM Presence, we call for dispensations for the new year. We call for the wiping of the slate clean. We call for the intensification of our violet-flame decrees through December 31 that the old year may truly be cast into the violet flame and that we may not have to carry it upon our shoulders together with the next year.
Almighty God, deliver this people and bring them into the light swiftly. Open the gates to the temple of the living God, O LORD. We pray with profound earnestness and love for all souls of light in all dimensions of being, and especially we call to the seven archangels that when we are prepared with our armour we might descend into the levels of the astral plane to rescue souls of light.
O God, we are mindful that you have sent legions of light and emissaries, cosmic beings to planet earth for the salvation of all those who cleave unto God. Almighty God, we call for their deliverance. We call for our own strengthening, the strengthening of mind, heart and will, that we might daily send forth the call that many might be cut free. We are grateful for the dispensation of Astrea that one million souls have been spared because of our calls to Astrea 144 times, three times a week.
Let this victory move on. And let us receive that fire from the heart of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ—the tremendous fire that ignites us unto cosmic purpose every hour of every day. To thee, O Lords of Karma, for your presence in tarrying with the earth that we might know divine justice because you are here, we sing in this moment.
[Song no. 413, “Great Karmic Board,” sung once.]
Messenger's Invocation to Begin the Christmas Eve Candlelight Vigil:
In the name of the light of God that never fails, we call to your heart, beloved Alpha and Omega, to ignite these candles at the altar of the Holy Grail here in King Arthur's Court. We pass the torch of life, light, enlightenment and of the sacred fire of the threefold flame to all who are deserving of it. To all who keep that flame, let it be magnified. Let God be magnified in our hearts this day by the sacred fire that he has given to us.
Therefore, in Jesus' name, we k eep the flame on behalf of all evolutions of earth and worlds without end. In the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit and the Divine Mother, Amen.
Beloved Alpha, beloved Omega, let your flames go forth each in turn, every other one, to thy cosmic purpose. Amen.
As you are having your candles ignited, please recall that the Ancient of Days, Sanat Kumara, restored the threefold flame to us in a period when mankind had descended to the level of caveman and walked on all fours. This was for the absence of the threefold flame. Some of us have never lost that flame. Some of us have come to the altar of God to reclaim that flame. And so as we are receiving our candles, let us give the “I AM the Light of the Heart” mantra:
