Pearls of Wisdom

Vol. 46  No. 33 - Beloved Lanello - August 17, 2003

Take Hold of the Mantle That We Extend to You

A Mighty Momentum of Light
Has Been Dispensed to Us

A Great Golden Door Has Opened before You

O thou beloved of my heart, do be seated and be comfortable in me.

On this the celebration of my last earthly birthday,<1> December 24, I rejoice, for a cycle is fulfilled in Capricorn.<2> And I am grateful to tell you that the Lords of Karma and those who guide us (as we guide you) so have advanced us, our twin flames, on the path of service in planet earth. We have been spoken of as the Two Witnesses, one on one side of the river and the other on the other side.<3> No longer, then, in the earth or in heaven are we thus separated, for I have advanced and so Elizabeth has advanced with me. I come with joy to give you this announcement, for it gives us a sense of a new birth for the nations, for the planet, and for what we may do through you.

Blessed ones, by all means, call to our causal bodies daily and to our mantle. Forget not to do this, for many things shall be unraveled, sorted out, and the rough places in your life shall be made plain.<4> Yet, beloved, if you do not take ahold of the mantle that we extend to you, which is our own, then you will have only yourselves to blame that you have not taken advantage of this glorious dispensation that has come to us.

Therefore, with renewed vigor and joy, with far seeing of accomplishments that can happen throughout the earth and in your centers anywhere, I speak to you.

Be Caught Up in the Great Causal Body That We Share

Where you would raise up an altar to God by the sign of the cross of white fire, so do it, beloved. And then remain steadfast as the guardian of the altar of your heart and that which you set up in the wilderness of the major cities of the world.

O beloved, receive our fire if you will have it, if you will care for it, if you will not waste it. Take that fire and run with it. We are a part of the Body of God, and this nucleus of the Body of God consists of many thousands and ultimately will draw to it many millions of souls. I come to set you on fire in the name of your Lord and Saviour. And I come to tell you that each one of you in your own way may make progress on the Path, progress that may be colossal compared to what you were and who you were in past lives. Do not let a day go by that you do not slay some substance in your world and replace it with a fiery coil that shall be there in your hour of need.

It is wondrous, beloved, that as we move on in the peerage, so it is as a fiery vortex infolding itself, so you are caught up in the draft of our causal bodies and then you unite your causal bodies with our own. This is the strength of the Church, beloved, the strength of our Church Universal and Triumphant, of Lord Gautama Buddha and of Lord Jesus Christ. The strength is our union and in our sharing and in our multiplying together that loaf, that Communion loaf.

Blessed ones, we are not at a standstill! This Church shall prevail. It shall prevail because you individually, as an individual, are determined to prevail over all outer darkness and inner darkness. Therefore I name you the prevailing ones. Prevail, beloved. If you do not prevail you will never set sail, you will never cast your anchor into the deep and move on, move on into the depths of God's being.

I speak to you with such a joy this day and I ask you to understand what it means to you to claim something of your heritage, something wondrous of your being this day. This, this is the cause for rejoicing—that we are one. And those who are not one and who do not share their causal body and their oneness, they, then, do not receive.

You can understand in this age of computers what a joy I would have had to be working with computers to stamp out the message of the Coming Revolution [in Higher Consciousness]<5> to the world. Now, with my better half in embodiment, this may come to pass. It may come to pass for you also. But understand that the computer of the mind of God allows us to be one indivisible Cosmic Christ, each one of us a cell in that great body of Lord Maitreya, Gautama Buddha and Sanat Kumara.

Leave Off Indulgences in the Astral Plane and Climb the Ladder of the Etheric Octave

I ask you, then, to prepare yourselves, to make yourselves ready, and to draw the line and to say to evil that you have gotten into, any sort of darkness that you have fallen into:

Thus far and no farther! I cast you into the sacred fire! I call for the reinforcement of this great mandala of lifestreams who have been together for many ages. I call upon that Great Causal Body that we share. I call to the living God for strength. And I am not embarrassed to ask my friend, my [fellow] chela on the Path, to pray for me.

Blessed ones, when you keep yourself at that level where you do not descend into the astral plane any longer for any reason, you will know a strength that will be multiplied by the causal body of Hercules and Amazonia.

Do you know, beloved, that some of you have tarried in the astral plane simply by where you have placed your attention, the wrong kinds of entertainment, movies, music, et cetera, et cetera, or simply wasting time. When any of you is in the astral plane, then, beloved, you have a serious problem in gaining sponsorship. For if you would desire an ascended master to sponsor you, or the Darjeeling Council of the Great White Brotherhood [to sponsor you], you must have already conquered death and hell and have no part with that astral plane and not associate with those individuals who have one foot in the astral plane and another foot somewhere else. And it won't be the etheric body, beloved, for those who keep the gate of the etheric octave will not allow to enter there those who have retained some sort of addiction to some sort of activity in the astral plane.

As you will be reading the Pearl of Jesus to be published in the coming week<6> so you will hear this teaching again. But I say to you, beloved, this is a truth, this is a fact. If you will not leave off those indulgences, then, I say, I cannot take you to the realms where we will go. For we shall go to those realms; and those who are able to enter the etheric octave will begin at the first level and then the second and the third.<7> And you can climb that ladder right here in this court,<*> right in your sanctuaries. You do not need to pass from the screen of life and go somewhere into the heaven-world to achieve this.

Let your goal be not only the ascension, beloved, but climbing that staircase. And you must secure the first rung; you must have mastery in the first rung even if it is, for some of you, kindergarten. You must have that mastery. You must hold it. We must observe you maintain that mastery, sometimes for a number of years, even though you are, along with level one, working on the mastery of level two and level three. And so you can be working on several levels at once, beloved. You may find yourself at a tremendous advantage when you have fulfilled your round on this planet to find just how far you have advanced and to know how many people must descend into earth to even touch the hem of heaven's garment before they can even get into the etheric octave.

We Advance You on Your Path and We Accept You as Our Own

All things are possible unto you. You have the greatest opportunity in the entire cosmos to increase your causal bodies so that they might blend with the causal bodies of the Five Dhyani Buddhas. Think of a goal that you would achieve, for instance, becoming one with Vajrasattva, the Diamond One.<8> Think, if you say in your heart, “This I will do and all other things will begin to rotate around me, for I will enter the center of Vajrasattva.” Well, you may knock on the door of Vajrasattva and he may say to you, “Go back and study under El Morya and come back in a year or two and I will tell you what it means to be my chela.”

Think, beloved, What is the possible today? What master will receive you today and train you and strip you of those elements that you have carried with you too long? So what if you have been abused—your soul can rally. Your soul can enter the star of Bethlehem. Your soul can seek that Christhood and put all those things into the sacred fire. Above all, beloved, do not ever have excuses for me or for any ascended master as to why you are not accelerating on the Path. There are no excuses, beloved. If you desire the Path, you shall have it.

You have heard the teaching in the Pearls of Wisdom, whatever it is that you want with all of your might, your soul, your being, you will get that one thing. It is like the man with the pearl of great price. He sold all that he had for the pearl of great price. What was that pearl? That pearl might be the causal body. That pearl might be the divine knowledge. That pearl might be the open door to the Guru-chela relationship. There is no relationship that is more important, beloved. And you must earn the right to be a Chela with a capital C, as we have said before.

I come, then, to stress to you in this hour what a golden door has opened before you! I am showing you this great golden door. It is a set of doors which open, beloved, and you may walk through these doors when you are invited. And you will enter a temple, a temple that I have not described to you or told you about, but it is the temple where I with my twin flame meet with you and assist you in the hours of sleep.

We advance you on your path, beloved, and we accept you as our own. This is our mission, beloved. We have a primary mission to reach certain souls on earth who must make their ascension in this life. We have a greater determination and a greater service that we must render, and that is to bring the millions onto the Path, the knowledge and the awareness of our teachings, the Teachings of the Ascended Masters.

Think, beloved, what you have in those teachings and how much you know. But above all, beloved, think of the empowerment. Even if you are not empowered by an ascended master, you have been empowered, and not only empowered but enlightened by the teachings that we have brought forth. That empowerment and that enlightenment will see you far, very far. Use it, beloved, and rejoice and know that you can take your sword of Archangel Michael and you can cut yourself free this day, free from all those things that have held you, in this way or that, tied to the astral plane.

Determine to Conquer All Addictions

I ask you, in the name of God, to make your New Year's resolution that you will see to it that this year you conquer all addictions. And they may no longer be upon you as a vicious burden—a burden to your health, your well-being, your mind, your attitude and your spiritual ascension.

Beloved ones, do you have the courage this day to take that sharp sword of Archangel Michael and literally [at the level of the subtle body] carve out of your being those addictions, never to see them again?<**> [Audience response: “Yes.”] Beloved, your own messenger here will tell you how difficult it is to overcome addictions such as sugar.

Blessed ones, you may make that vow, you may be determined, and you may fall again. I say, rise up again and give your calls and do it all over again until you are so tired of going to the altar that you simply no longer engage in those indulgences which have to do with a certain lethargy, a certain lack of will, a certain animal magnetism. Beloved, I want you to know that I will see you ascended if I have anything to say about it. But, beloved, it is you who must have something to say about it and be so determined that you will not loll in these doldrums, loll in your psychology as if the violet flame weren't worth a dime for the consuming of that psychology or even that astrology.

I Desire to See You as Stars in My Mantle

Let us get on with it, beloved. For when we move across this planet and beyond to others, to other stars, I desire to see you, as it were, as stars in my mantle, that you might view the cosmos and recognize what a stupendous opportunity Saint Germain has given to you for your victory. Do not lose it! Do not forsake it. Do not forget any hour or any day.

You must be reminded, beloved, that dispensations also come to an end. It is not as though the sun shall forever shine on planet earth. Therefore, beloved, work while you have the light.<9> Work while you have the light, and decide that you and your twin flame shall become cosmic beings in the service of a cosmos.

Elizabeth and I will take you on that journey. I say, qualify yourselves or you will miss the boat and be left here while we take our students to higher octaves. I say this in love, beloved, so that you will understand that there are certain rules that are never bent. Do not think that you will bend the rule or be an exception to it, but strive. For we have an upsweep of such a mighty momentum of light that has been dispensed to us that we are ready to take off with you!

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

This dictation by Lanello was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet during the Christmas Eve Candlelight Vigil, December 24, 1995, at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana. Throughout these notes, PoW is the abbreviation for Pearls of Wisdom. The publications listed in these notes are Summit University Press publications unless otherwise noted.

*King Arthur's Court, where services are held at the Royal Teton Ranch

**The ascended masters teach that the sword of the Spirit is the sacred Word (s-word) of God (see Heb. 4:12; Rev. 1:16; Eph. 6:11-17). In addition, the masters and messengers have given teaching on the use of an unsharpened ceremonial sword to represent the sword of the Spirit while doing spiritual work at your altar. The sword can be used, for example, to remove the astral substance of addictions that attach to the aura like barnacles to the bottom of a boat. See “Sword Policy,” printed on p. 312 of this Pearl; and see “Teachings on the Use of a Ceremonial Sword,” printed in Pearl no. 27, this volume, pp. 256-58.

1. In his final incarnation, Lanello was embodied as the messenger Mark L. Prophet, born Christmas Eve 1918, in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.

2. The sun was in Capricorn from December 22, 1995 (8:17 UT) to January 20, 1996 (18:53 UT).

3. Dan. 12:5; Rev. 11:3-12.

4. Isa. 40:4; Luke 3:5.

5. Pallas Athena inaugurated the Coming Revolution in Higher Consciousness on June 30, 1976. In a momentous dictation delivered in Washington, D.C., at the Freedom Class Higher Consciousness, she said: “I dedicate this conference to the Coming Revolution. Call me a revolutionary if you will, and I will say: 'Yes, I AM!' I AM the Goddess of Truth! I AM the incarnation of the Feminine Ray! I AM at the front of the battle!...I AM in this land the fervor of Truth. I AM touching the spectrum of consciousness from the left unto the right. I AM touching all who love Freedom and Truth and those who do not. For I will not be turned back....From this day and forevermore, I claim you for the cause of Truth because you have made that cause your own. In the living flame of Truth, I am grateful for your love of Truth, of Liberty, for your courage and your self-sacrifice. I am grateful, and I bow before the flame of Truth within you. And I will use that flame to light a nation and to light a world!” (see 2001 PoW, vol. 44, no. 17).

6. See Jesus' admonishment to “engage in a fierce battle against the entities of addictions,” October 8, 1995, in 1995 PoW, vol. 38, no. 38, pp. 441-44.

7. For teaching on the 33 levels of the etheric octave, see 1989 PoW, vol. 32, no. 34, pp. 490-92; 2002 PoW, vol. 45, no. 42, pp. 303-4. (For teaching on the 33 levels of the astral plane, see p. 302 n. 4, this volume..

8. Vajrasattva embodies the five secret rays, the five elements, and the five personalities of the Five Dhyani Buddhas. He is the synthesis of the five and has the attainment of the five.

According to Buddhist teachings, Vajrasattva is a divine being who embodies the quintessence of the diamond nature. His name has been variously translated as “Diamond Being,” “Diamond Nature,” “the Indestructible-minded One” or “the Adamantine.” Some consider him to be a Buddha, some a Bodhisattva. In certain sects Vajrasattva is the Lord Supreme, the Primordial Enlightened One, the Adi-Buddha (the self-existent, unoriginated source of Universal Mind), while in others he is the first emanation of the Adi-Buddha. Vajrasattva is believed to preside over the Five Dhyani Buddhas and unifies within himself the five Buddha families, which they represent. Others believe Vajrasattva is an aspect of the Dhyani Buddha Akshobhya, the part of Akshobhya's being that is turned toward the world. He is sometimes combined with Akshobhya into one being, whose name is Vajrasattva-Akshobhya.

Vajrasattva is also a term for a state of attainment that may be reached by one who is close to liberation, or nirvana. Followers of the Vajrayana school of Buddhism seek to become a Vajrasattva, a diamond-souled transcendental being. In Tibetan tradition, the Vajrasattva is the “Diamond Heart,” the heart of the First Logos, or Vajradhara, who sent his heart into the manifest world. Lama Govinda writes that the Vajrasattva is realized in the human heart (Foundations of Tibetan Mysticism [New York: Samuel Weiser, 1969], p. 187). See Elizabeth Clare Prophet, January 2, 1999, “Meditation on Vajrasattva,” in 1999 PoW, vol. 42, no. 8.

9. Work while you have the light. “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work” (John 9:4, 5). “Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth” (John 12:35).

Sword Policy

We are grateful to the Messenger and to Archangel Michael for the teaching on and the dispensation to use the ceremonial Archangel Michael Sword. Under no circumstances may sharpened swords be brought to or used in King Arthur's Court or at any gathering, service or function sponsored by The Summit Lighthouse or Church Universal and Triumphant or their Study Groups and Teaching Centers. Strict adherence to the sword policy stated below is essential in order to ensure continuation of the privilege to use swords during services. This policy was established by the organization's Board of Directors after obtaining legal counsel:

The unsharpened Archangel Michael Sword may be used in services, during decrees and during fiats from the congregation. It may not be wielded during invocations (recorded or live), songs, meditations, dictations, or during church rituals such as the sacred rituals, Ashram rituals, and Jesus “Watch With Me.” This is chapel protocol established by the Messenger.

Those wielding the Archangel Michael Sword will be seated in the front row of the sanctuary, will wield no more than one sword, and will wield the sword in an up-and-down motion only. When they raise the sword they will not bring it farther back than an upright vertical position, i.e., keeping the blade in front of the body so that it does not go beyond the head or shoulder. The Archangel Michael Sword will not be used to cut around oneself or another at any gathering, service or function sponsored by The Summit Lighthouse or Church Universal and Triumphant.
